83: I, Li Yao, will pay for everyone's consumption.
“Young Master, who is this?”
“He is Zhu Qingtai. Hmm, he will be following me from now on.”
Steward Zhang was familiar with this sentence, because that's how he started following Li Zun.
However, due to his own strength issues, his Beast's quality wasn't very good, and he could only remain at the Marquis-level Beast Master tier.
This was because his Epic Grade Beast had suffered fundamental damage, preventing it from advancing further.
Unless it evolved, this problem couldn't be solved.
He was the oldest among Li Zun's followers.
He joined Li Zun as a Marquis-level Beast Master, which is why Steward Zhang's strength was so weak.
Otherwise, with Li Zun's personality, he would probably have found Steward Zhang a few Beasts that had reached the Legendary Level.
However, in the past ten-odd years, Li Zun hadn't failed to have some Beast Breeders help Steward Zhang evolve his Beast.
Unfortunately, every attempt ended in failure.
It wasn't until Li Zun brought his wife, Yang Qian, back that he planned to ask Yang Qian for a favor.
“Understood, Young Master. Don't worry, I will take good care of him.”
“By the way, Young Master, didn't you say there were two?”
“Where's the other one?”
“Li Yao! I'm here!”
Just then, Zhang Quandan got out of the Wuling Hongguang.
This was a brand new Wuling Hongguang, equipped with anti-strike capabilities to resist Soldier-level Beast attacks.
“You're finally here.”
“What took you so long?”
“Traffic on the way, couldn't be helped.”
“I don't know what's going on, but recently our Jianghai City has seen a lot more people, causing traffic jams almost every day now.”
While Zhang Quandan was complaining, the young people around Steward Zhang also greeted Li Yao.
Without any surprises, Li Yao would definitely inherit the Li Corporation in the future.
This was someone who would stand at the top of Dragon Country's hierarchy!
Once the Li Corporation encountered problems, it would be up to them to resolve them.
“By the way, Zhang Quandan, how strong is your Beast now?”
“Sigh, don't even mention it. It's been so long, and its strength is only Soldier-Level Five.”
Soldier-Level Five, this was from very normal training, without directly 'Krypton Gold' (spending heavily on microtransactions, implying no special resources).
So Zhang Quandan's Beast's strength was similar to that of a commoner's Beast.
After all, Zhang Quandan didn't care at all about his Beast's strength progression.
As long as his ranking wasn't too low in the college entrance examination, it was fine.
He wasn't a commoner and didn't need to work that hard.
Who made him have a very good family background, plus a very awesome brother?
With a brother to carry him, isn't it normal to just lie back and enjoy the ride?
“Your strength progression is a bit weak.”
“As my brother, if others found out about your strength, what about my Face?”
“Steward Zhang, can we depart tomorrow instead?”
Li Yao's words immediately made everyone a bit unhappy.
They had already waited for so long, and now Li Yao was saying to go tomorrow?
Although Li Yao was their boss, as 'employees,' they still had their tempers!
“I apologize for today's matter, but I can arrange for all of you to stay at a five-star hotel and enjoy yourselves for a day.”
“All expenses will be paid by me, Li Yao!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost their tempers.
You're the boss, you make the rules!
Even if they went the day after tomorrow, it wouldn't be a problem!
Steward Zhang also shook his head helplessly, then said to Li Yao, “Alright, Young Master, you call the shots.”
“But Young Master, why did you suddenly decide for everyone to go tomorrow?”
“It's simple, I plan to boost this guy's strength.”
Zhang Quandan, as his brother, naturally needed some appropriate care.
Moreover, this guy had been his childhood friend since they were young, so how could he not take care of him!
Zhang Quandan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, “Li Yao, how do you plan to help me increase my strength?”
“It's simple, of course, I'm going to help your Zhao Cai Toad evolve.”
If the evolution succeeded, the Zhao Cai Toad's quality would improve, and its strength would also increase.
This would be beneficial for everyone who would be entering the Secret Realm next to improve their strength.
“Zhang Quandan, Zhu Qingtai, follow me.”
Zhu Qingtai was now Li Yao's confidant, so following Li Yao was not a problem.
Meanwhile, Steward Zhang began to arrange accommodation for everyone, and since Li Yao had already said he would cover all expenses.
These people, of course, were going to have some fun.
In the VIP reception room.
It was still Wang Dahai.
Those who could become general managers of a corporation were all people who had signed contracts with Li Zun.
After all, only after signing a contract could one confidently employ people without worrying about them betraying.
“Young Master, what Materials do you need?”
Wang Dahai's gaze fell on Li Yao, his eyes filled with admiration.
One must know, he had personally witnessed Li Yao evolving the Blazing Fire Monkey into a Golden Armor Fire Ape before.
There was absolutely no one helping!
So he was genuinely curious how Li Yao managed to do it.
Now Li Yao seemed to be about to replicate the miracle from last time.
He just didn't know if Li Yao would succeed this time.
“Zhang Quandan, summon your Zhao Cai Toad.”
Zhang Quandan didn't hesitate after hearing this and immediately released his Zhao Cai Toad.
This was a toad with a copper coin on its back and an orange-yellow body.
Its size was as large as a washbasin, similar to the initial size of the Water Turtle.
After evolving into an Extreme Ice Turtle, its size also became like that of a large truck tire.
“This is the Zhao Cai Toad?”
Species: Zhao Cai Toad
Quality: Rare
Strength: Soldier-Level Five
Skills: Attract Wealth and Treasure, Wealth Rolling In...
Weakness: Copper coin on its back
Hidden Evolution Path: Three-legged Golden Toad...
...Tun Tian Toad...
After clearly seeing the evolution paths for this Zhao Cai Toad, Li Yao immediately knew which one to choose.
“Alright, I know how to help him evolve.”
“Actually, I could evolve it myself too.”
After all, someone had researched an evolution for the Zhao Cai Toad, which was the Three-legged Golden Toad.
However, obtaining this evolution plan required spending ten thousand to purchase it.
Copyright fees and such still existed in Dragon Country, and unauthorized use of others' labor was not allowed.
So, even if it wasn't Li Yao, he would have bought the evolution plan himself recently and then bought some Materials to evolve his Zhao Cai Toad.
“Since we're evolving, of course, we'll choose the best evolution direction.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Quandan somehow felt that Li Yao seemed to have other ideas.
Could it be that his Zhao Cai Toad could have other evolution methods?
Suddenly, Zhang Quandan thought of Li Yao's 'Golden Armor Fire Ape'.
