91: Chapter 91 Two Cultivation Programs
Seeing Zhou Ya's movement, Doll Girl was scared out of her wits and hurriedly shouted, "Don't move! Don't move yet! I can explain everything, just give us a chance!"
Zhou Ya said nothing, simply turning her face toward Li Yu. Her meaning was very simple.
"Should I press the alarm?"
Li Yu stared at Doll Girl. Seeing her look of terror, he secretly marveled. In truth, he had no idea what the button did; Supervisor Song had "disappeared" before he could explain it to him.
It seemed this button would trigger a massive reaction.
He felt a bit curious, and this curiosity drove him to want to press the button to see what would happen, but in the end, he shook his head. After all, regardless of the circumstances, Doll Girl had helped him out of a tight spot twice.
Once at the Research Institute, and the other time in the Thick Earth Mystic Realm.
"I will give you a chance to explain," Li Yu said.
Doll Girl was overjoyed, saying, "Thank you!"
Without waiting for Li Yu's response, she lifted her puffy skirt and trotted toward the Female Regent Commander, picking up speed as she went.
Just when Li Yu thought she was going to help the Female Regent Commander up and explain the situation, he saw her leap into the air, her thick leather shoe landing right on the Female Regent Commander's face.
One kick, two kicks, three kicks...
Holding up her skirt, she looked as elegant as a ballerina preparing for a curtain call, yet her movements were as brutal as if she had a blood feud. Every kick landed on the face, leaving crisscrossing shoe prints that made the Female Regent Commander look like she was half-black.
Zhou Ya covered her mouth, a look of shock on her face.
Chen Qing looked confused, her head filled with bewilderment.
Li Yu scratched his head and looked at the other members of the Rongrong Group, only to see that none of them looked surprised in the slightest. In fact, when one of them noticed Li Yu's gaze, they thoughtfully began to explain.
"Don't worry, our group is actually very united, except for the fact that the Female Regent Commander is a bit punchable."
"This situation is quite common. If the Female Regent Commander doesn't listen, a good beating solves it."
"Yes, yes, yes. Would you like to... trouble yourself with a couple of kicks?"
The other group members nodded in agreement.
Li Yu: "...Is that appropriate?"
"Appropriate, very appropriate. Nothing could be more appropriate." The group wore ingratiating smiles.
In the end, Li Yu couldn't bring himself to deliver the kick. He waited a moment until Doll Girl was tired from kicking and the Female Regent Commander had woken up. Once the two had explained the situation, he gave a light cough and said, "Alright, I am very satisfied with this explanation."
Li Yu decided that he would copy this surveillance footage to his phone later.
In the future, if anyone offended him and wanted to explain, he would just play this clip for them and say, "Look! What is an explanation? What the hell is an explanation! So this is what a damn explanation is!"
A good tradition must be preserved.
Doll Girl stood with her hands on her hips, bringing the embarrassed Female Regent Commander before Li Yu.
The former was petite and exquisite, like a cute little princess, while the latter was tall and sturdy, like a coal-hauling laborer. This contrast between the small and the large left Li Yu marveling inwardly.
The Female Regent Commander, still sporting shoe prints all over her face, flashed her snow-white teeth: "Sorry, little brother. I didn't know you were the Senior Cultivator. I thought you were a bad guy. Luckily your Guardian is strong, or I would have caused trouble again."
"I really appreciate you using the word 'again'."
Li Yu looked at Doll Girl, who helplessly shrugged, indicating—there's no help for it, life is hard, and she's stuck with such a Female Regent Commander.
What a strange Beast Taming Group.
"No more nonsense. I have two cultivation plans here; you should listen to them first." Li Yu held up two fingers.
The Female Regent Commander's eyes widened, and she pricked up her ears: "Two, yay!"
Doll Girl also put on a serious expression: "Please speak, we... I am listening."
The rest of the Rongrong Group also pricked up their ears.
"The first plan is for me to help you cure the Volcano Dragon and restore it to its peak state. It will take a relatively long time, about half a month, and the fee will be the same as the cost when you placed the order."
The group nodded.
This was exactly what Doll Girl and the others had expected.
"And the second one?" Doll Girl asked.
"The second plan..." Li Yu smiled, "I help you treat and evolve the Volcano Dragon. The quality won't be bad, and the time will be relatively fast, a few hours. However, for the remuneration, I need 10 million, or 5 million plus some high-quality elemental materials."
The group: "Evolution!"
The Female Regent Commander: "10 million!"
Doll Girl: "The quality won't be bad!"
"Yes, evolution, 10 million, the quality won't be bad. You choose for yourselves..."
Before Li Yu could finish, the Female Regent Commander zipped over to the other group members, and they huddled in a circle, chattering away in discussion.
Without waiting for them to reach a result, Doll Girl said, "We choose the second plan."
"Doll Girl, I haven't decided yet!" the Female Regent Commander shouted.
The others also condemned her for acting on her own initiative.
Doll Girl rolled her eyes and said with disdain, "Wait for you? The day lilies would have wilted by then. You idiots take several hours just to discuss accepting a mission."
Saying that was one thing, but in the end, Doll Girl didn't just make the decision unilaterally. She gave the Female Regent Commander and the group members 10 minutes to discuss. When 10 minutes passed and they still hadn't reached a conclusion, Doll Girl made the final decision again.
It was decided.
10 million yuan.
"Very good, happy to cooperate." Li Yu smiled.
"Hopefully." Doll Girl nodded.
10 million was not a low amount, but compared to the Volcano Dragon, it was nothing. Even if Li Yu only cured the Volcano Dragon and allowed the Rongrong Group to restore their morale, the 10 million would be well spent.
If the evolution went smoothly, 10 million would be a huge bargain.
If the evolution quality was high, like the beasts of the War Wolf Squad, resulting in an S-rank or a new species, then paying 50 million would be worth it!
Doll Girl understood this clearly, which was why she found the others so slow.
As for why Li Yu needed so much money?
The answer was: Golden Scale Bubble Fish.
Transforming into a dragon required absorbing a massive amount of elements and comprehending the Elemental Divine Light. He couldn't just go into Mystic Realms whenever he wanted. In the city, the best way to obtain a large amount of elemental absorption was by spending money.
Spending money to buy demon cores.
Li Yu wrote out a list of materials and placed it in the delivery slot. The remaining time was spent waiting.
By this time, the Female Regent Commander's drunkenness had mostly worn off. She pulled Doll Girl to the outer reception room and whispered, "Doll Girl, why am I here? And who is that young man?"
The Female Regent Commander looked like a woman in her 40s, so calling Li Yu "young man" was appropriate.
Doll Girl explained, "Li Yu, a newly promoted Senior Cultivator, the youngest Senior Cultivator in Ningyang City, who has bred many new species of S-rank beasts. I told you about coming here for treatment over the weekend, and you agreed."
"What did I say at the time?"
"I said you definitely wouldn't dare let a young Breeder treat the Volcano Dragon. You were very high at the time and said, 'Who says I don't dare? Let's go!'"
"And then?"
"And then we came here. I came according to your request, Commander."
After finishing, Doll Girl turned and walked to the cultivation room, leaving the Female Regent Commander scratching her head, completely confused.
Why did it feel like she had been set up?
