Chapter 146: Chapter 146: I Am Not Like Other Beast Husbands

Shen Mianzhou felt a bit nervous about this. However, he knew that since he would no longer be on the front lines with the Hunting Team, he still had to earn money to support his family. He couldn’t just keep holding out his hand to ask the Female Master for money in the future, right? What kind of man would he be then? Therefore, despite his nervousness, Shen Mianzhou remained resolute. He was determined to learn and understand the hidden intricacies behind these matters! He wanted to be the Female Master’s most obedient and useful Beast Husband!

Gu Weilan gave a slight nod. "It’s feasible! I also have an arrangement in mind for Mianzhou here." She looked at Shen Mianzhou. "Make a list of your brothers and sisters in the Hunting Team—the companions who want to retire and no longer want to risk their lives on the front lines of the Deserted Stars.

"Pick the ones you trust. I want to arrange for them to help guard my production lines.

"The friends you’d trust with your back can serve as the escort captains at the production lines. The annual salary will be around the market rate, or you can let them propose their expected salaries.

"My initial offer is six hundred million Star Coins, plus commissions and benefits.

"The commission means that if no incidents occur under their guard for the month, they will receive five percent of the sales profit from the production line on their respective habitable star as a security fee.

"As for the benefits, I think they will be something every escort professional desires.

"Every year, the entire escort team can receive three sets of Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid. They will be rewarded to the three most diligent members, one set per person. If someone makes additional outstanding contributions, they can earn another set.

"If they use an Incubation Pod to conceive a cub with their lover or their Female Master, they will have unlimited access to the Cultivation Liquid from our production lines. These are the benefits we can offer."

Shen Mianzhou nodded slightly. "In that case, the earnings would actually be on par with what they make in the Hunting Team.

"When times are tough in the Hunting Team, they only get a share of six or seven hundred million Star Coins a year.

"That money also has to cover High-energy Nutrient Supplements for the wilderness, emergency savings, and the costs of replacing and maintaining equipment.

"When times are good, they can make three to five billion Star Coins a year, but that’s entirely built on living on a knife’s edge."

Gu Weilan playfully brushed her small foot against Shen Mianzhou’s abs. "The most important thing I need from these escort captains is that they don’t betray me. They can’t act as an inside man for outside Beastmen to mess with my factories."

Shen Mianzhou’s ears turned bright red. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I know, Female Master. I will definitely pick the ride-or-die friends I trust with my life first."

Gu Weilan pondered for a moment. "Those who have been severely injured or have hidden injuries are also fine."

Shen Mianzhou blinked. After a moment of thought, he spoke in unison with Zhan Heng. "Actually, regarding this matter..."

"If you are willing to accept such..." Zhan Heng started at the same time.

They both fell silent simultaneously. Zhan Heng looked at Shen Mianzhou and slightly lifted his chin, gesturing for him to speak first.

Shen Mianzhou finally spoke up. "Actually, since it was the Bai Family and the Rong Family who gifted the production lines on these six habitable stars to you, Female Master, you could also ask them for Beastmen who have retired from the military legions.

"In the legions, there are those with formidable family backgrounds, and those with no background at all.

"I know you value loyalty above all else, Female Master, which is why you asked me to find trustworthy Beastmen from the friends I used to fight alongside.

"However, the retired Beastmen from the legions have gone through military baptism. They also possess a profound sense of conviction when it comes to loyalty and trustworthiness.

"The Bai Family and the Rong Family could recommend retired Beastmen, and you could screen them, Female Master.

"As for background checks..." Shen Mianzhou looked at Lorenzo. "Beast Husband Lorenzo is quite skilled at that.

"That way, you wouldn’t be short-handed when selecting guards. After all, the Hunting Team Beastmen I know really aren’t enough to fully staff the production lines across six habitable stars!

"Even if we chopped them all in half, there still wouldn’t be enough to go around."

Having finished speaking, Shen Mianzhou looked over at Zhan Heng.

Seeing Gu Weilan give a slight nod, Zhan Heng said, "My view is similar to Shen Mianzhou’s, but my suggestion is that you also reveal this idea to Jin Taoyao, Female Master.

"It seems her side branch has cut ties with male Xuanshuo, but we still aren’t clear on the Golden Crow Beast Clan’s exact stance.

"Your businesses were taken over from the Bai Family and the Rong Family, Female Master. During the handover process, it’s necessary to keep your guard up. If we could get Beastmen from the Golden Crow Clan involved as well, it would be beneficial.

"At the very least, it would guarantee that the security of your Cultivation Liquid production lines would be problem-free in the short term.

"You could retain a portion of the original Beastmen from the Bai Family and the Rong Family while integrating some fresh blood.

"Under such circumstances, the veteran employees wouldn’t dare deceive their master, and the new employees would keep a close eye on the veterans.

"Furthermore, with the rewards you’ve established, Female Master, only the top three escort team members at each production plant can obtain those premium items.

"This ensures that everyone will keep an eye on each other. In the short term, no Beastman will take the step of trying to fool you.

"Then, Beast Husband Shen Mianzhou’s friends can secretly keep a watch on all of them from the inside.

"That way, your production lines can transition relatively smoothly into your hands. Simultaneously, you can filter out which Beastmen are worth keeping, all while gaining a clear view of the various families’ underlying intentions."

Gu Weilan nodded. It had truly been a long time since she had dealt with such intricacies. Moreover, this wasn’t just about maneuvering through complexities; it was about viewing the problem from a commercial perspective.

Gu Weilan chatted with her Beast Husbands for a long while. She discovered that when it came to overall planning and strategy, Zhan Heng wasn’t the only one who excelled. Although Lorenzo and Shen Mianzhou were slightly weaker in this regard, they were actually quite competent themselves.

As for Samuel, it seemed he really was just a beautiful himbo.

She let out a sigh and decided to let it be.

While Gu Weilan was formulating the bath liquids for the professors, she also prepared the remaining Mid level Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid for her own Beast Husbands. After handing the bath liquid over to them, she also took a soak herself.

She realized that the pain inflicted on her by the High level Bloodline Purification Bath was simply too agonizing. Every minute and every second of that suffering felt magnified and prolonged. It left her caught between life and death—truly an exquisitely excruciating experience!

When Gu Weilan stepped out of the bathroom, Lorenzo Snow had also finished his medicinal bath. Wearing an open-collared silk nightgown, he knocked on Gu Weilan’s door.

Gu Weilan slightly raised an eyebrow and opened the door. "I haven’t gone to spend time with the cubs yet..."

Lorenzo paused, then reached out and held her hand. "Let’s go spend time with the cubs together."

A smile touched Gu Weilan’s lips. She liked this kind of obedience from Lorenzo, his willingness to follow her arrangements. Perhaps she had grown tired of Zhan Heng’s overbearing dominance and just wanted a change of pace these past few days.

Originally, she had wanted to seek out Shen Mianzhou. After all, when she was with him, she was always the one in the dominant position.

However, Lorenzo’s tender companionship wasn’t bad either. It was a rare treat to see this peaceful, gentle side of him, without his usual innocent, pity-playing act.

It was as if Lorenzo could guess exactly what Gu Weilan was thinking. He wrapped an arm around her waist, lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear, "When I don’t have to compete with any other Beast Husbands, I am also very gentle and considerate.

"Unlike Zhan Heng Beast Husband and Shi Lingfeng Beast Husband, who have the Female Master’s favoritism and don’t even need to fight for it..."

Here it comes. Here he comes!

He was back with his casually manipulative, innocent-sounding tone!
