Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 177: Although your family is rich
A sparring partner?
She never expected that when she came looking for a sparring partner, someone else would want her to be their sparring partner. It was all her fault for being too outstanding, she thought…
Qiao Sang began to ponder.
It had to be said that the other party’s proposal was very tempting: it saved money, accumulated battle experience, and increased Points.
However, sparring partners were usually full-time. Even if they weren’t at the Pet Battle Club, one phone call meant they had to arrive within a specified time. How could she have so much free time to be on call?
Not to mention, she had to stay at school for most of the current training camp, and when school started in a few days, her free time would be even scarcer.
After all, she would have to do that dreadful homework every day when she got home…
“I still have to go to school,” Qiao Sang said, reluctantly refusing.
“I know, you clearly look like a student,” the man with gold-rimmed glasses said with a smile. “You can work part-time. There are no fixed working hours. If a client specifically requests you, we’ll contact you. If you have time, you come; if you don’t, we’ll decline for you.”
“Second Boss, I want to do that too,” Lin Yuanqi said enviously upon hearing this.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses glanced at him and asked, “Are you as capable as her?”
Lin Yuanqi felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. The man continued, “Do you have the latest evolved form of a certain Pet that can attract clients?”
It wasn’t over yet.
The man then added, “Are you as good-looking as her?”
The first two sentences were fine, but the last one was truly unbearable!
Comparing the looks of an underage girl with an adult man, wasn’t that absurd?
Besides, how many people became less attractive after adulthood? His handsome face, in contrast, was already set.
If it weren’t for the fact that you’re the boss, I would have already cursed you out… Lin Yuanqi raised his hands, indicating surrender:
“I was wrong. I think my current treatment is pretty good.”
The others secretly rejoiced that they hadn’t spoken up.
Otherwise, they would have been compared to a child in front of so many people. Knowing internally that they couldn’t compare was one thing; having it pointed out publicly was another.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses turned to Qiao Sang and said gently, “What do you think of my proposal?”
“I think it’s good,” Qiao Sang immediately replied.
Regardless of whether the other party was using the Yan Ling Dog as a gimmick to attract clients, for her, these conditions were all beneficial with no harm.
…
The two hit it off immediately. The man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately led Qiao Sang to his office and asked someone to draft a contract.
Qiao Sang quickly scanned it, then looked closely at one particular clause.
It was about the salary.
The base salary was 5,000 alliance coins, with a 60% commission. The monthly salary depended on how many jobs she took on.
The benefits were good. Professions related to Yu Beast Masters were generally high-paying.
Although the money earned from being a sparring partner seemed like a lot, that was only for ordinary people. If one wanted to go further on the path of a Yu Beast Master, this money was far from enough.
Fortunately, she wasn’t a sparring partner just for the money… Qiao Sang signed her name.
Once Qiao Sang had signed, the man with gold-rimmed glasses stopped smiling and said seriously:
“Let’s formally introduce ourselves. My name is Xie Yang, and I am the person in charge of this Hongying Pet Battle Club. Everyone calls me Second Boss or Brother Yang. You can call me either.”
Qiao Sang asked curiously, “Why do they call you Second Boss?”
“Because the Big Boss is my mom,” Xie Yang replied. “They used to call me Little Boss, but I thought it sounded too childish, so I told them to call me Second Boss.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
“I’ve read the news, and it didn’t mention that the Yan Ling Dog also possesses the Superpower System attribute. I want to know if this is a unique trait of your Yan Ling Dog, or if all Fire Fang Dogs that evolve into Yan Ling Dogs will simultaneously gain the Superpower System?” Xie Yang suddenly asked with a serious expression.
No one knew that his signing of Qiao Sang wasn’t just about using the Yan Ling Dog’s popularity to attract clients; he wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with her and make a sky-high deal.
In his view, a profitable relationship needed to be established before discussing such a transaction.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then replied, “I don’t know. There isn’t a second Yan Ling Dog to use as a reference yet.”
Xie Yang said seriously, “Do you know the current price of a Fire Fang Dog?”
Qiao Sang nodded, “120,000 alliance coins.”
Its price had increased after the news came out that the Fire Fang Dog could evolve into a Yan Ling Dog. Many acquaintances had forwarded this news to her.
“Then do you know how much the price will rise if the news that the Yan Ling Dog also possesses the Superpower System spreads?” Xie Yang continued to ask.
“At least a million, I suppose,” Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied.
Pets of the Superpower System generally sell for seven figures. The Yan Ling Dog possesses both the Superpower System and the Fire System, so its price definitely couldn’t be lower than that of a Superpower System Pet.
How can you say that so calmly? A million! This is a million! As expected, she’s a super rich second-generation, she doesn’t even care about money… Xie Yang forced himself to calm down and asked:
“Have you thought about buying more Fire Fang Dogs now, and then selling them after the news that the Yan Ling Dog also possesses the Superpower System spreads?”
…Qiao Sang was silent for more than ten seconds, then spoke with a trembling voice, “What do you want to say?”
Oh my god!
She had actually never thought of this!
She was always thinking about making money, but an opportunity that could make her instantly rich overnight and become a self-made millionaire was right in front of her, and she hadn’t even realized it!
Heavens! Earth!
How could she be so stupid!
“I know what you’re worried about. The Alliance’s control over Pets is very strict. You’re still young, so even if you thought of it, you wouldn’t do it,” Xie Yang said, showing understanding.
No, I didn’t think of it! Qiao Sang screamed internally.
“However, even if we can’t buy Fire Fang Dogs in large quantities through normal channels, there are still ways. We can open our own Pet breeding shop specializing in Fire Fang Dogs, or pay people to capture a large number of Fire Fang Dogs in secret realms,” Xie Yang said, sharing his ideas.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “We?”
“Yes, we,” Xie Yang said. “New evolved forms of Pets always get widely reported in the news, and the Yan Ling Dog is no exception.”
“The Yan Ling Dog’s popularity is about to fade. On one hand, no second Yan Ling Dog has appeared among those who bought Fire Fang Dogs. On the other hand, the news hasn’t reported that the Yan Ling Dog also possesses the Superpower System.”
“We can take advantage of this time to stockpile a large number of Fire Fang Dogs. Once we’re ready, you can record a video of the Yan Ling Dog using its Superpower System and release it. Then, we can provide exclusive information on how to evolve a Fire Fang Dog into a Yan Ling Dog to our customers who purchase Fire Fang Dogs.”
“With you, who owns the first Yan Ling Dog, as a living advertisement, we will definitely make a fortune.”
Qiao Sang started to speak, “I…”
“Don’t rush to refuse me,” Xie Yang interrupted. “Although your family is wealthy, the further you go with Pets, the greater the expenses. Naturally, the more money you have, the more powerful you can cultivate your Pets. I believe you wouldn’t mind having more money.”
