16: Chapter 16 Get out of here in the most graceful way possible!

Supervisor Song's words woke the others up; Song Jiang, Yang Juan, and the Captain exclaimed in succession.

"See! I told you Li Yu was truly awesome, but you guys just wouldn't believe me! You all saw it now, right!" Song Jiang was so excited he was incoherent, as if years of grievances had been washed away.

"This trip was worth it. Witnessing the birth of an s-rank new species with my own eyes—this trip was truly worth it," the Captain sighed with emotion.

Yang Juan stroked the Blazing Fire Crow and said earnestly, "Mr. Li, we misunderstood you before, and I apologize. I know the meager remuneration we agreed upon with Supervisor Song is not enough to repay you for this cultivation. In the future, if you need any help, as long as you think highly enough of me, I will definitely come!"

"Right, right, right! Count me in too!" Song Jiang hurriedly chimed in.

The Captain nodded heavily.

Although his beast had not yet begun cultivation, regardless, Li Yu had cultivated Song Jiang's and Yang Juan's beasts so well.

Especially Yang Juan's.

Ever since Yang Juan's beast became disabled and she became reticent, he had felt guilty. Only now did he feel the heavy burden on his heart lift a little.

"And us!"

Suddenly, two voices rang out.

Two team members who had previously refused to let Li Yu cultivate their beasts, and had even sided with Supervisor Chen, squeezed in and looked at Li Yu with fawning expressions.

"Master Li, can you cultivate for us next?"

"Right, right, we'll pay extra, let us cut in line. We're not asking for an s-rank, an a-rank would be fine, though an s-rank would be best of course."

Their actions caused Song Jiang and the others to frown, a look of disdain and disgust flashing in their eyes.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to ask your Captain? He is the next one I'm cultivating for."

"This... the Captain is always generous, he won't mind."

"Exactly, exactly. He always lets everyone else go first. Besides, if we get cultivated first and it's a success, it'll help boost the Captain's confidence."

The two said this excitedly, completely ignoring the people behind them whose expressions were growing increasingly gloomy.

"Is that so... It seems your Captain is indeed very generous," Li Yu said with a smile, though his tone was somewhat cold, "But unfortunately, I am not. Now, please get out in the most rounded way possible!"

The two team members' expressions changed, and they hurriedly began to plead.

"Master Li..."

"Master Li, we'll pay more."

Li Yu glanced at them and looked at Supervisor Song.

Supervisor Song understood, and with Song Jiang, one on each side, they dragged the two men out. Eventually, the pleas turned into curses, which gradually faded into the distance.

"Phew~ Peace and quiet." Li Yu smiled.

"I'm sorry, I've made a laughingstock of myself," the Captain said apologetically. "I didn't expect them to become like this; they weren't like this before."

Li Yu smiled and didn't mind, only instructing, "Let's leave the morning's cultivation at that. This afternoon, it's your Mud Armor Rhino's turn."

The Captain's face lit up with joy, and he nodded heavily. Just as he was about to speak, Supervisor Song interrupted him.

"The afternoon isn't suitable, let's change it to tomorrow, at this same time in the morning," Supervisor Song explained. "Li Yu just joined, and he has to attend Intern training in the afternoon; he won't have time."

Song Jiang also leaned over at this moment, full of smiles, and said, "Hehe! Perfect. To celebrate Yang Juan's resurrection, let's find a Mystic Realm to do a mission and test the power of this 'turkey'. I heard someone discovered a rare fire spirit crystal in the Huo Rong Mystic Realm. Let's go join in the fun."

"You're the one who's resurrected! And, it's called a Fire Crow, full name Blazing Fire Crow, not a turkey!"

Yang Juan glared at Song Jiang, but her face was full of smiles, a completely different person from the gloomy appearance she had when she arrived.

The Captain nodded and said, "I think that works. Let's test the beast's new skills."

The three said goodbye to Li Yu and Supervisor Song and walked out, talking and laughing.

"Mystic Realm..."

Li Yu murmured this word, which was not exactly new.

Mystic Realms were special spaces that appeared a long time ago with the resurgence of spiritual energy; they contained rare demonic beasts and heavenly treasures, but also came with significant risks.

"Do you want to go take a look?" Supervisor Song asked.

"Forget it. With my fragile build, I'd be offed in a minute if I went. I'm just curious, that's all." Li Yu smiled.

Li Yu was not exaggerating.

A Breeder is, after all, just an ordinary person, unlike a Beast Tamer, whose own physique strengthens as their beast improves.

Once in a Mystic Realm, not to mention whether they could withstand the aftermath of battles between beasts, the bizarre environment of the Mystic Realm itself could kill him with the slightest fluctuation.

After everyone left, the door to the cultivation room closed.

"It seems the interior of Bright Moon Company is also quite restless," Li Yu said suddenly.

Supervisor Song nodded with a wry smile.

"Wherever there are people, there is competition, and the company is naturally no exception. Over the past dozen years or so..."

With Supervisor Song's description, Li Yu's understanding of Bright Moon Company grew more and more.

Simply put, Bright Moon Company had been established for over twenty years. It went through the initial concerted efforts, then reached management saturation, and coupled with the inaction of the previous president.

In recent years, forming cliques had happened frequently, and people like Liu Quan were members of certain groups.

Li Yu chose to fire Liu Quan, and the Presidents Office had also issued the order. Those people didn't dare to have opinions about the Presidents Office, so they picked Li Yu as a soft persimmon to squeeze.

"Of course, the situation is different now than in the past."

Supervisor Song looked at Li Yu, seemingly worried that he might lose confidence in this job because of this, and explained to comfort him, "The appearance of the new president and Special Assistant Yang has broken the deadlock, and those people are now struggling to protect themselves. It won't be long before the company returns to a clear and orderly state."

Speaking of this, even Supervisor Song's chubby face showed a hint of expectation.

"Let's go. First, we'll go to the Canteen for lunch, and later I'll take you to the Intern area."

As he spoke, the two left the cultivation room.

On the way, Supervisor Song transferred the payment for today's cultivation to Li Yu.

100,000.

"You aren't officially on the payroll yet, so there's no commission taken from this cultivation," Supervisor Song smiled.

"Thanks." Li Yu smiled.

100,000—although it was still a bit less compared to the costs needed to fully treat his mother, it was enough for five months of medicine.

Canteen.

Li Yu followed suit, took quite a few meat dishes along with Supervisor Song, and found a seat to sit down.

"Here, take a look and see if there are any high-value orders you're interested in." Supervisor Song handed over his phone.

Li Yu looked down and saw a list of orders that had already been screened.

01. Treatment - Sky Net Holy Sparrow: Lord (E), Silver Rank 5. The Sky Net Holy Sparrow of the White Cloud Team was hit by a spiritual energy storm; its veins were severed, and its level dropped repeatedly. Cultivation Difficulty: Three stars. Reward: 1,000,000.

02. Evolution - Scarlet Explosive Crocodile: Extraordinary (B), Silver Rank 9. The Scarlet Explosive Crocodile of the Amphibian Team is energy-saturated and needs to evolve. The requirement is that the quality after evolution must not be lower than B-rank. Cultivation Difficulty: Four stars. Reward: 1,000,000.

03. Treatment - Golden Horned Small Dragon: Extraordinary (A), Silver Rank 1. The customer's Golden Horned Small Dragon was injured during a demonic beast riot. Symptoms include incessant bleeding, lethargy, unstable agitation, and unstable mental confusion. It urgently needs a Breeder skilled in treatment to intervene and save it. Cultivation Difficulty: Five stars. Reward: 2,000,000.

04...

Li Yu scrolled down one by one, looking very carefully.

It had to be said that the reward for each one was very high, with the lowest being 1,000,000. Completing one was worth 10 of the ones he had completed now.

"High-value orders are rare. In the past, only Senior Cultivators and a very few Intermediate Cultivators had the chance to get them. Stealing one from Old Chen this time is enough to make him heartbroken for a long time," Supervisor Song said, his face full of smiles.

Li Yu nodded. After watching for a while longer, he soon had an idea.

"Supervisor Song, I choose the third one, treating the Golden Horned Small Dragon." Li Yu clicked on the order and handed it to Supervisor Song.

Supervisor Song was stunned upon hearing this, and the food he had shoveled into his mouth fell back onto the tray.

"Gol, Golden Horned Small Dragon?"

His tone was somewhat strange, his voice trembling as if he had seen a ghost.
