Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 314: Chapter 190: Zhong Yi’s President Candidate

With a significant investment of resources, these selected Iron-Eating Insects had a high probability of evolving into Silver-Eating Insects.

Once these Iron-Eating Insects evolved into Silver-Eating Insects, Zhong Yi would likewise have Zhao Kai screen them.

He would select the superior specimens and have them evolve into Gold-Eating Insects.

Zhong Yi would trade the culled Silver-Eating Insects to the Zhenchong Commerce Association.

With these Silver-Eating Insects, the Zhenchong Commerce Association would be able to sell Mithril, a type of Metal Spiritual Material in high demand among Creators.

Fu Hongning had protected Zhong Yi before, and in the process, both of his Guardian Beasts had suffered extremely severe damage to their Origin.

Zhong Yi wasn’t about to cut off the Zhenchong Commerce Association’s lifeline just to make a profit.

From the moment Zhong Yi began selling Iron-Eating Insects to the Zhenchong Commerce Association, they had established a cooperative relationship.

Zhong Yi knew perfectly well why Fu Hongning was always trying to curry favor with him.

For an established faction to ascend to the ranks of the top-tier, it not only needed exceptional internal development but also a powerful patron to rely on.

With the Zhenchong Commerce Association harboring such ambitions, as long as Zhong Yi showed them some favor in the future, their cooperative relationship would transform into one of dependency.

For instance, if Zhong Yi were to trade Silver-Eating Insects to the Zhenchong Commerce Association, he would be helping them solidify their newly developed business line.

The Zhenchong Commerce Association would become increasingly reliant on Zhong Yi.

While developing his own influence, Zhong Yi was more than willing to cultivate goodwill with established factions like the Zhenchong Commerce Association.

Otherwise, even the culled Silver-Eating Insects could reliably produce Mithril, and there would be no reason for Zhong Yi to hand them over to the Zhenchong Commerce Association.

When the day came to actually trade the Silver-Eating Insects to the Zhenchong Commerce Association, Zhong Yi would negotiate new terms with them, just as he had when he first cooperated with Lü Yunyi.

When Fu Hongning heard Zhong Yi mention the Iron-Eating Insects, he felt a pang of regret.

’I should have composed myself before greeting him. How could I let him see that I was looking troubled?’

Fu Hongning was terrified that Zhong Yi would misunderstand and think him ungrateful.

But he had never imagined that Zhong Yi would actually offer to trade Silver-Eating Insects to the Zhenchong Commerce Association in the future.

After all, Silver-Eating Insects that could produce Mithril were on a completely different level from Iron-Eating Insects.

Mithril, as a Metal Spiritual Material, didn’t typically circulate on the open market and was usually only sold at auctions.

Fu Hongning hastily expressed his thanks to Zhong Yi.

"Su—Lord Zhong Yi, thank you so much for your immense support and favor toward the Zhenchong Commerce Association!"

"From now on, I hope you won’t find me too useless. If there’s anything I can do for you, you need only ask."

"Lord Zhong Yi, please come inside and have a seat. Our Zhenchong Commerce Association has recently acquired a few Insect-type Exotic Beasts."

Zhong Yi shook his head.

"Vice President Fu, I’ll pass on coming in for now. I actually came today because there’s something I need your help with."

"I was wondering, do any of the Zhenchong Commerce Association’s Insect Guardian Beast Bases happen to cultivate a Guardian Beast called the Geomagnetic Bee?"

As soon as Fu Hongning heard Zhong Yi was looking for Geomagnetic Bees, his face lit up with a smile.

"Lord Zhong Yi, if you’re looking for Insect Guardian Beasts, you’ve certainly come to the right person."

"For a mid-to-high-end Guardian Beast like the Geomagnetic Bee, our Zhenchong Commerce Association has a base dedicated solely to cultivating them."

"How many Geomagnetic Bees would you like? I can have them brought over right away."

Zhong Yi waved his hand, feeling a bit exasperated.

’What in the world would I do with so many Geomagnetic Bees?’

’Am I supposed to recruit a group of Guardian Beast Masters suited for bee-type Guardian Beasts, have them all Contract Electromagnetic Bees, and form a Geomagnetic Bee legion or something!?’

"Vice President Fu, if you’re not busy, how about you take me to the Geomagnetic Bee base for a look?"

"If you’re busy, you can just have someone else take me."

Fu Hongning had been lamenting his lack of opportunities to get closer to Zhong Yi, and as it happened, he was actually free that morning.

Even if he had an important meeting, Fu Hongning would have canceled it without a second thought.

Fu Hongning didn’t know what Zhong Yi planned to do at the Geomagnetic Bee base, but he still replied.

"Lord Zhong Yi, I’ll take you there right now."

"The Geomagnetic Bee base is in the West Suburb, outside the city. The thing is..."

Fu Hongning’s mind raced with worry. Zhong Yi had been attacked by a Mythical Tier Bizarre right at the entrance to the Central District.

Once they were in the West Suburb, Fu Hongning couldn’t possibly guarantee Zhong Yi’s safety.

’What if Zhong Yi is attacked in the West Suburb, or captured again... ’

A chill ran down Fu Hongning’s spine at the thought.

It was a responsibility he absolutely could not bear!

Zhong Yi understood the look in Fu Hongning’s eyes.

"Vice President Fu, just lead the way."

"With Brother Sun here, you don’t need to worry about safety."

Sun Yushi’s heart warmed when he heard Zhong Yi’s words, feeling how much Zhong Yi valued him.

Against a Mythical Tier enemy, Sun Yushi was confident he could hold them off.

And if they were to encounter an enemy even beyond the Mythical Tier, he just needed to buy enough time for Zhong Yi to activate his Instant Jade.

Now that Lord Star Emperor had returned to Starlight City, a powerhouse from the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations was personally overseeing its security.

Let alone the area within Starlight City, even the outskirts were now much safer.

The Zhenchong Commerce Association had bought up a vast stretch of land in the suburbs of Starlight City.

The Zhenchong Commerce Association had several hundred Insect Guardian Beast Bases, all located on this land in the West Suburb.

With these Insect Guardian Beast Bases constantly cultivating and producing Insect Guardian Beasts, it was no wonder the Zhenchong Commerce Association dominated more than half of Starlight City’s market for them.

Because Sun Yushi was an old acquaintance of Fu Hongning’s wife, Tang Yan, he was also on good terms with Fu Hongning.
