105: Feedback

"A thousand-year willow heart?"

This was truly good stuff. Not only could it increase cell activity, but it could also significantly improve physical fitness. In the original work, Luo Feng relied on the thousand-year willow heart to Breakthrough to Advanced War God.

He just didn't know if the improvement from this thousand-year willow heart would still be as significant for the fungus.

Qiao Yu had considered that if the military knew about his talent and value, they wouldn't be stingy, but he didn't expect them to be so generous. With such a grand gesture, if they weren't powerful, who would be?

Furthermore, the contract didn't impose any restrictions on Qiao Yu. It didn't force him to quit the Dojo, nor did it state how many living monsters he had to hand over each year or how much contribution he had to make. This was completely beyond Qiao Yu's expectations, but he still needed to clarify things.

"Professor Liang, I see this contract doesn't specify what I need to do. How should we discuss the matter regarding the living monsters?"

Qiao Yu's tone became calm as he asked slowly.

Seeing Qiao Yu's attitude soften considerably, Professor Liang was also relieved. He refilled Qiao Yu's teacup with hot tea and smiled.

"War God Qiao can rest assured. There are absolutely no additional conditions in this invitation. You can view it as a gesture of goodwill and an olive branch extended to you by the Huaxia Military and the Mount Hua Organization. We will negotiate the cooperation regarding the living monsters separately."

After receiving Professor Liang's affirmative answer, Qiao Yu knew what to do.

"I agree to join the Huaxia Military. I'll sign this contract!"

Qiao Yu's tone held no hint of hesitation. His finger swiped across the tablet without any lingering, signing his name and pressing his fingerprint.

This time, the Huaxia Military had moved Qiao Yu with their sincerity.

Although he knew these resources might not be much to the Huaxia Military, for him, they were already very tempting.

"Major Qiao has made a very wise choice. It is a good thing for both you and China—a win-win situation."

Seeing Qiao Yu sign the contract, Professor Liang immediately changed how he addressed him and said happily.

After joining the military, Qiao Yu's rank was directly promoted to Major. Every War God Level Soldier could obtain at least the rank of Major in the military.

The officer responsible for the meeting's logistics also showed a hint of envy in his eyes when he saw Qiao Yu sign his name.

He had been a member of the Huaxia Military since graduation, rising step by step through his own talent and hard work, and had successfully entered the Mount Hua Organization. Although his treatment was also not low, he was limited by his talent's ceiling. Not to mention other rewards, he wasn't even qualified to receive rewards like the black god set or the spirit of grass and wood.

Qiao Yu rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty. This operation of his could be described as getting something for nothing, essentially fleecing the state. Based on these considerations, Qiao Yu finally decided to give back a great gift in return.

"Professor Liang, since the organization is so generous in nurturing me, I can't let them feel let down. I can't give back much with my current abilities, so I'll simply donate all the current living monsters to the organization for free."

Hearing Qiao Yu's words, Professor Liang was no longer sleepy.

"Major Qiao, are you serious about what you just said?"

"You want to donate all currently domesticated monsters to the organization for free, including even that Black-crowned Golden Eagle?"

Professor Liang's excitement was beyond words.

As the person sent by the organization to interface with Qiao Yu, he wasn't without benefits. The organization would grant Professor Liang research permissions and support based on the negotiations.

If Qiao Yu donated all the domesticated monsters for free, the organization would recover more than half of the cost they had spent. The value of that Lord Level living Black-crowned Golden Eagle alone was immeasurable.

"Of course. Every word I say is true."

Qiao Yu smiled faintly without any hesitation.

After all, these monsters were just creatures bred by the fungal swarm to him; they cost him almost nothing.

To Professor Liang and the organization, domesticated monsters were precious, but for Qiao Yu, he only needed to consume some of the fungal swarm's numbers to breed them again.

Even that Lord Level Black-crowned Golden Eagle only cost Qiao Yu a bit more fungus.

Compared to the price the organization paid, this was completely a zero-cost, high-profit venture for him.

Money becomes less useful once one's ability and status reach a certain height.

Can money buy a black god set? Can money buy a spirit of grass and wood? Can money buy the Foundation of Mental Adepts?

Perhaps, but it would be extremely difficult. These commodities have barriers; getting them requires more than just spending money.

After all, these are just Earth currencies. If it were Universe currency, that would be a different story.

"However, for future monster trades, we will naturally need to trade at the price we discussed earlier."

Qiao Yu added a point. The previously discussed price was, of course, twenty times the price of monster Materials.

Professor Liang nodded.

"That's only natural."

Soon, the projected meeting ended, and Qiao Yu's heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Major Qiao Yu, your internal military account has been registered. You can log in directly through fingerprint or facial recognition. As for those supplies, do you want them delivered to the Martial Artist supply base or...?"

Professor Liang asked.

"Just send them directly to my home. I've been out in the Wilderness Area for so long, I want to go back and rest for a bit."

Qiao Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Alright, Major Qiao Yu."

After Professor Liang finished speaking, he seemed to hesitate, wanting to say something but not quite getting it out.

How could Qiao Yu not understand seeing him like this? This old man was waiting to study the domesticated monsters.

"I'll have all the monsters come out in a moment. As for how to get them back, or whether to build a research institute on the spot, that's up to you."

Qiao Yu replied. There were no more wild monsters in County 0203 now, so the military could indeed station themselves here. Anyway, he had buried the fungal nest deep underground, perfectly integrated into the soil. Even if the military built an underground base, they wouldn't discover it; to them, it would be nothing more than dirt.

And he would also use the power accumulated in County 0203 to start pushing toward the next city.

Next, it was time to return to the Base City and reorganize.

"Alright, Major Qiao Yu. But can you guarantee that every one of these domesticated monsters has been fully tamed?"

Professor Liang hadn't seen it with his own eyes after all, and he hadn't actually danced with tens of thousands of living monsters yet, so he was still a bit hesitant.

"Let's go. You'll know when you get outside."

Qiao Yu led Professor Liang out of the room to the mechanical hatch of the warplane. Looking at the dilapidated city outside, Qiao Yu's mind moved, and the surrounding ground began to shake again as tens of thousands of monsters firmly surrounded the warplane.

"Professor Liang, I'll leave the rest to you..."
