Chapter 79: Two More Masters in the Morning (Seeking First Subscription)!
The Principal's office was quiet for a while!
Principal Gao Hong seemed to have thought of something, slowly stood up from his seat, and looked at Zhao Zhong in astonishment: "Zhao Zhong, could it be that you..."
Zhao Zhong, usually so serious, looked a little embarrassed today... He tried to maintain his persona, coughed several times, and slowly said, "Jiang Chen, to be honest with you, I come from a Beast Taming Family, a collateral branch of the Zhao Clan of Changshan in Lingnan Province."
"Yesterday, when Principal Zhao reported yourMeritorious Service for killing the Dark Beastmaster, I also took the opportunity to report your information to my family."
"Coincidentally, this morning, news came from the family that they also developed an interest in you..."
Principal Gao Hong: "..."
Jiang Chen: "..."
"So, I gained two more masters this morning?"
"Cough cough, you can consider me a nominal master," Zhao Zhong said awkwardly.
Jiang Chen was speechless. He originally thought Principal Gao Hong's operation was already 666, already fantastical enough, but Vice Principal Zhao Zhong was not far behind.
Zhao Zhong continued, "My main family will send a Beast Tamer to guide you and provide you with some cultivation resources to help you get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy."
"If you can show even greater talent, strength, and value in the future, the Zhao Clan of Changshan will invest even more resources in you."
In the future?
Will the master sent be a woman?
Jiang Chen realized: "Actually, it's a form of investment? If something happens to your Zhao Clan of Changshan in the future, I, Jiang Chen, will need to help, similar to an ancient retainer?"
Zhao Zhong nodded: "You are very smart, that's roughly the meaning."
"This method is not unique to our Zhao Clan of Changshan; other Beast Taming Families do the same."
"They will regularly sponsor some excellent, promising young Beast Tamers each year. If someone is particularly outstanding, they might even be recruited into the family through marriage, which is a way for the family to absorb fresh, high-quality blood."
"Firstly, it provides help to talented students who lack resources, and secondly, it helps maintain the family's prosperity, achieving a win-win situation."
Jiang Chen thought about it. He had heard of the Zhao Clan of Changshan; their reputation and public image in Lingnan Province were quite good.
If it were another Beast Taming Family, Jiang Chen might need to consider it, worrying if that family would have some melodramatic plot in the future.
But the Zhao Clan of Changshan had been prosperous for one or two hundred years, and their reputation was excellent, universally praised.
The patriarch of the Zhao Clan of Changshan was also a powerful Beast Tamer, renowned throughout Lingnan Province.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Then I accept."
To be honest, with such an offer of both people and money, no old cadre could withstand the temptation.
Especially from a family with such an excellent reputation as the Zhao Clan of Changshan.
Seeing Jiang Chen agree, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but smile: "Alright then, I'll report back to the family and have them send someone to contact you."
"Okay."
Jiang Chen scratched the back of his head, still feeling a bit in a daze.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly gained two wealth-bringing children... ahem, two convenient masters. This feeling was truly like a pie falling from the sky, knocking him out. Jiang Chen was still used to his days of working hard and using cheats.
Principal Gao Hong looked at Zhao Zhong with a fake smile and said, "Principal Zhao, you've hidden yourself quite well. How come I didn't know you were from the Zhao Clan of Changshan?"
Originally, as Jiang Chen's master, finding him another master was already something he felt a bit guilty about, as if admitting he wasn't good enough to be Jiang Chen's sole master.
But now, Jiang Chen suddenly went from having two masters to three masters!
If this got out, it would be a bit embarrassing... Zhao Zhong also knew that what he did was not very kind, but he still brazenly said, "I'm just a collateral branch of the Zhao Clan of Changshan, not the main branch, so there's nothing worth mentioning."
"I'm doing this for Jiang Chen's good. Since he's already recognized one more master, why not two more? 3+1, the teaching effect might even improve to a higher level!"
"Besides, good disciples should naturally be taken by everyone!"
Jiang Chen: "..."
Principal Gao Hong: "..."
It turned out that in this world, not only can masters take many disciples, but disciples can also take many masters!
Principal Gao Hong fumed, but in the end, he could only grudgingly accept it.
Zhao Zhong was indeed right. With the sponsorship of the Zhao Clan of Changshan, Jiang Chen's growth would be smoother, and he would have more cultivation resources. If he truly cared about Jiang Chen, he couldn't refuse.
"Jiang Chen, with two more masters this time, I think you can go for something big!" At this moment, Zhao Zhong suddenly spoke again.
"Huh?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.
"Look, I see you're currently fully focused on becoming a Professional Beastmaster. You probably don't have time to find a second pet beast after breaking through, right?"
"This is a good opportunity. When these two teachers come to find you, you can directly ask for an Elite Level pet beast cub, or even a Transcendent Level pet beast cub!"
"That way, when you break through, you can directly contract it!"
"Elite Level and Transcendent Level pet beast cubs?" As soon as Zhao Zhong mentioned it, Jiang Chen immediately reacted quickly.
Yes, Zhao Zhong was absolutely right!
For the next 6 months, he would be fully focused on upgrading his beast taming space, with no time or financial means to find and purchase a second pet beast.
A Level 1 beast taming space matches a Level 1 sea beast.
A Level 2 beast taming space matches a Level 2 sea beast.
In other words, after Jiang Chen breaks through, he can contract an Elite Level pet beast cub, without needing to raise it from the awakening level like Little Nine!
And this time, with two unfamiliar teachers suddenly saying they want to be his masters, he naturally had to be bold in making demands!
An Elite Level pet beast cub costs at least several hundred thousand.
And a Transcendent Level bloodline pet beast cub is even more expensive, reaching over a million!
Jiang Chen felt that the two convenient masters he had never met before probably wouldn't be willing to provide a Transcendent Level bloodline pet beast cub.
However, the great Mr. Lu Xun said that people of our Dragon Country like to compromise in everything. If he wanted an Elite Level pet beast cub, he should say he wanted a Transcendent Level bloodline pet beast cub.
At that time, if they gave him an Elite Level pet beast cub, he wouldn't lose out. If they accidentally gave him a Transcendent Level bloodline pet beast cub, he would make a huge profit!
I, Jiang Chen, am indeed clever o(^`)o!
"Okay, when they come, I'll ask them for a pet beast cub!" Jiang Chen readily agreed, telling Zhao Zhong.
"Zhao Zhong, is it really okay for you to trick your own clansmen like this?" At this moment, Principal Gao Hong said to Zhao Zhong, who was beside him.
Zhao Zhong rolled his eyes: "The family's money is the family's money, not my Zhao Zhong's money."
"And if Jiang Chen can get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy, we two and the school will get a large bonus, what do you say?"
Principal Gao Hong: "..."
Jiang Chen: "..."
How real!
After a few more chats, Jiang Chen, who had gained two convenient masters, happily walked out of the Principal's office.
However, Jiang Chen hadn't walked far when he was called out again.
"Jiang Chen, come to my office with me." In the corridor, Jian Qingqiu, wearing a woolen long dress, slender and elegant, with an ethereal temperament like a fairy descending to earth, waved to Jiang Chen.
Uh, why are so many people calling me to their offices today?
Dear Class Teacher, you... you wouldn't also want to be my master, would you?
