67: Chapter 67 Performance Appraisal of the Rich Second Generation

Chen Yi and his group returned to their seats.

It was clear that Su Taotao had become much more cheerful, completely losing her previous sense of restraint.

She could talk about anything now, even topics that were a bit off-color.

One couldn't help but marvel that this might be her true personality!

"Brother Chen Yi, um... my figure might not be very good, so... even if you form a contract with me, it's okay if you don't want to develop affinity with me! It's just... I'd like to enjoy your care once a month..."

Su Taotao blushed and squeezed out those words with difficulty.

Although she was very cute and didn't lose to Lin Mengxue or Luo Shiyin in terms of looks...

...the problem was that her height of just over 1.5 meters, paired with a flat-chested figure, was a real deal-breaker!

Looking at Su Taotao's cute and shy appearance, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh.

He gently flicked Su Taotao's forehead and smiled, "What are you thinking? You're perfect just the way you are, Tao Tao. I won't play favorites!"

"Re... really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Hearing this, Su Taotao looked delighted, and her previously self-conscious expression gradually faded.

The main reason she hadn't planned on forming a contract with anyone was that she ate too much; an average family really couldn't afford her.

And the other reason was her deep insecurity about her figure.

The female streamers on Douyin all had incredible bodies.

But her figure... was the kind that even photo filters couldn't save. It was truly distressing!

But just as she was about to respond to this excitement...

...a sudden, intrusive voice cut in.

"Brother Chen Yi, do you have a moment? Can we talk for a bit?"

Chen Yi and his group looked back and found it was the Greasy-haired Man who had been in the luxury private room with them. Wasn't he called Brother Li?

"Is something the matter?"

"I'm Li Yang. Here is my business card. I'd like to discuss a business collaboration with you. I wonder if you're interested?"

Li Yang said as he handed over his business card.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

He wasn't some shop owner, so what business collaboration could there be to talk about?

Despite his thoughts, he took the card and glanced over the information on it.

"You're the head of the commercial department of the Han City Beast Tamer Association?"

The Greasy-haired Man smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, explaining, "To be precise, it's my father, but I'll be able to inherit it soon. This business collaboration is crucial to whether I can inherit it, which is why I wanted to talk to you."

Seeing this, Chen Yi gently pulled Su Taotao onto his lap. "Sit here. You don't mind others being present, do you?"

"No problem!"

Li Yang sat down, cleared his throat, and got straight to the point. "I'll keep it short. You should know about the Beast Taming Contest, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi and the others looked at each other, somewhat confused.

The Beast Taming Contest was a nationwide beast taming competition held every year in the Dragon Kingdom. It was grand in scale and highly anticipated, usually taking place in mid-October.

Since it was only early July, bringing it up now was indeed a bit baffling.

Noticing their confusion, Li Yang continued to explain, "You might not be aware, but those of us working within the Beast Tamer Association have performance appraisals."

"Of course, the appraisal here doesn't refer to things like sales turnover, but rather the cultivation of the new generation!"

"If you've watched the Beast Taming Contest, you should have noticed that some Beast Tamers wear a city emblem, right?"

"Those Beast Tamers are elites selected by the Beast Tamer Associations of various cities to serve as spokespeople."

"We staff members of the Beast Tamer Association select a new generation Beast Tamer as a spokesperson, and then our performance is appraised based on their results in the Beast Taming Contest..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi and his group finally understood Li Yang's intention.

He wanted Chen Yi to be his spokesperson and represent him in the Beast Taming Contest to boost his performance and help him inherit his father's position in the future, right?

They had heard of such things before.

But since it didn't have much to do with them, they didn't immediately make the connection.

Chen Yi fell into deep thought.

After a while, he looked up and asked, "Others start picking spokespeople after the Beast Taming Contest ends. With only three months left until the contest, you're just starting to pick someone. May I ask why?"

"The reason... can I not say?"

"Fine, if you won't say, I'll change the question. What benefits do I get?"

Hearing that Chen Yi was open to negotiating, Li Yang was secretly delighted.

He held up seven fingers with his right hand and said in a fawning tone, "Thirty percent off! Brother Chen Yi, if you buy magic beast crystal cores and other resources from our Beast Tamer Association, I'll give you a flat thirty percent discount!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi and the others instantly rolled their eyes.

They had been expecting some groundbreaking offer, but it turned out to be just a discount on magic beast crystal cores.

magic beast crystal cores were already limited in quantity, so a thirty percent discount wouldn't save much money, and it was restricted to Han City...

It would have been better to get some actual treasures!

Seeing that Chen Yi seemed disappointed, Li Yang got anxious and quickly changed his offer, "Forty percent off!"

However, Chen Yi just shook his head and said calmly, "No need! We aren't short on money. But if you can do me a favor, I might consider it."

Hearing this, Li Yang quickly asked, "What favor? As long as it's not illegal, I'll do anything I can!"

Chen Yi's strength was almost on par with a Tier 4 Beast Tamer.

If he could get his help, he would definitely achieve a good result in the Beast Taming Contest!

He had to seal the deal no matter what!

Chen Yi said calmly, "A heaven and earth spiritual treasure containing the light attribute element. As the son of the commercial department head, you should be able to get one, right? Of course, I'll pay the full price for it!"

Hearing this, Li Yang's brow furrowed deeply.

heaven and earth spiritual treasures come in seven attributes: light, dark, ice, fire, wind, earth, and water. Among them, those containing light and dark energy are particularly rare.

Let alone him, even his father would have a hard time getting one.

Compared to ordinary magic beast crystal cores, these attribute-infused spiritual treasures have a slightly higher spiritual energy conversion rate.

But in terms of cost-effectiveness, they couldn't compare to magic beast crystal cores at all.

Even without considering the factor of learning skills, their cost-effectiveness was inferior to even a beast king crystal core.

He really couldn't understand what Chen Yi wanted to do with such a thing.

During the previous battle, he hadn't seen any of the Spirit Beast Girls around Chen Yi have the light attribute either.

However, despite his confusion, he couldn't miss this opportunity!

There were still three months until the Beast Taming Contest. With Chen Yi's talent, it was very likely he would continue to grow stronger during this time.

If he could help him find a heaven and earth spiritual treasure containing the light attribute element within three months, then his performance appraisal would definitely be secured!
