29: Outrageous land sinking

Since he could be accepted as a disciple by the teacher, he must have his own outstanding qualities.

"How about you come to my laboratory to study?"

Li Wen: Huh?

Isn't that just pure grunt work? Lu Chen, that kid, was like that, and now he isn't even a Beginner Breeder. Could he even help?

He immediately put on a slightly troubled expression, "This... uh, I still have classes."

Lin Bufan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"You haven't obtained your Beginner Breeder certification yet, have you? While you're studying, I can impart some of my experiences to you."

"You only need to come on weekends, and I'll pay you 50,000 a day. How does that sound?"

It was only because Li Wen didn't know the specifics of the market, otherwise he would have agreed immediately. An Advanced Breeder's laboratory isn't something you can just enter whenever you want.

Outside, a large number of Beginner Breeders couldn't get in even if they paid. Lin Bufan allowed him in mainly because he was an acquaintance, and more importantly, he wasn't someone who lacked money.

Li Wen thought about his current situation. Bud Baby was in a state where he didn't need to worry about it at all; its potential had been activated and it was growing rapidly. It wouldn't be too late to worry about its evolution after its growth rate slowed down.

The most important thing now was to determine Qing Yan's breeding direction. He already had the Water-type Beast Core, and the main material, the silkworm stone, didn't require extra searching.

The evolution cost was 300,000, and he was still short about 50,000. Moreover, since Lin Bufan was an acquaintance, he probably wouldn't exploit him too harshly.

After weighing his options, Li Wen canceled his task plan, and the part-time work plan was now on the table.

"Alright, Big Brother, it's mainly for learning, and to earn a little money on the side. It's definitely not because of the money that I'm agreeing."

"I happen to be free these next few days, so I'll start working tomorrow, Big Brother."

Chen Ping: You change your expression pretty quickly!

But if it were me, I'd have to agree too. The food smells delicious, but unfortunately, I can't eat it.

"That's great! I can finally be free!"

"See you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan couldn't even finish his sentence before picking up his phone and calling Lin Yan.

"Please dial the old man's number."

"Dialing for you..."

The phone in his hand was completely different from Li Wen's ordinary phone; it was a mechanical lifeform, not just a phone but also an illustrated guide and an assistant.

After the call connected, an impatient voice came from the other end.

"Speak, what is it?"

"I found an assistant. I don't need that Lu Chen to help me anymore."

"Alright, no problem."

Lin Yan, who was conducting a detailed investigation in the wilderness, thought there was something urgent to deal with when he received Lin Bufan's call.

However, after listening to Lin Bufan's suggestion, he couldn't help but laugh wryly. So it was just such a small matter.

Lin Yan secretly pondered. He had originally only wanted to train Lu Chen, which was why he had him assisting in Lin Bufan's laboratory.

Although that kid was young, he had his own ideas and was passionate about breeding companion beasts.

Giving him a small task tomorrow and letting him explore how to improve his companion beast's strength should be a good option.

After all, for Lu Chen, the College Entrance Examination was the most important thing at this stage.

Although he had a strong interest in breeding companion beasts, he couldn't neglect his studies.

If he were to complete a project alone, that kid probably still lacked some experience and needed more practice and accumulation.

Thinking of his students, Lin Yan couldn't help but shake his head.

Each of them had their own quirks and minor flaws, sometimes making people laugh and cry.

Take Lin Bufan, for example. Although he was talented, his personality was very picky; he couldn't stand this and couldn't stand that.

He had even complained that not being able to recruit students was his own fault. Lin Yan felt that this guy was sometimes a bit too self-absorbed.

"Can't he find the reason within himself?" Lin Yan muttered to himself.

After so many years, has he ever seriously gotten to know his junior schoolmates? If worst came to worst, with Lin Bufan's looks and talent, he could even trick a wife into helping him share the burden!

At this thought, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh wryly, feeling that his idea was a bit absurd.

He remembered that when Lin Bufan first chose him as a mentor, he had said bluntly: "No, I really can't stand stupid people. The main reason I chose you as a teacher is because I feel everyone else has that big problem."

Lin Yan was speechless at the time, but he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, everyone has their own personality and preferences.

"I don't think I have any problems!" Lin Yan muttered to himself.

"These young people nowadays have so many issues. I just gave him some grunt work and he can't stand it."

That kid Lu Chen was truly outrageous when he was little. Another hilarious scene appeared in his mind... It was during dismissal time, a fire safety promotional event, and by some unlucky chance, they interviewed this simple-minded kid.

Host: "If a Fire-type companion beast in our home suddenly goes berserk, what number should we call?"

Lu Chen: "Our family doesn't like Fire-type companion beasts. No one has contracted them. They're all Wood-type and Bug-type companion beasts."

Host: ... Host: "Do you usually ride a companion beast when you travel?"

Lu Chen: "I usually walk or ride a bicycle."

Host: ... Host: "Then if there's a fire in our hallway, what number should we call?"

Lu Chen: "I live in a detached bungalow. There's no hallway."

The host still wouldn't give up and continued to ask questions.

Host: "Then are there any fire safety hazards around your house?"

Lu Chen: "Yes, there's a pile of firewood my grandpa uses for bonfires."

The host thought, this kid is finally getting to the point.

Host: "What should be paid attention to when stacking firewood?"

Lu Chen: "Don't let it get wet from the rain, otherwise it'll be hard to light."

Host: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Host: "What if the firewood pile catches fire by itself?"

Lu Chen: "How is that possible? How can it catch fire if no one lights it?"

Host: I f***ing really want to smash you, you idiot, with this microphone right now. Don't let me run into you again, kid.

Otherwise... I'll just walk around you.

On the show, you could clearly feel that the host was on the verge of breaking.

This incident, even thinking about it now, is still hilarious.

This comparison made Lin Yan a bit curious about what kind of person could catch the eye of his eldest disciple, who was someone who even disliked him when he made a mistake.

However, this had little to do with him. His biggest wish now was that his last student would be a normal person.

As for this assistant, he would quickly investigate the cause of the abnormal life force outbreak in this area, go back and see for himself, and if he liked what he saw, he might even take on another student.
