Selling Monsters

The military squad's so-called safe stronghold was actually inside a relatively intact hotel.

There were quite a few enormous metal crates here, filled with various research instruments.

At that moment, the members of the military squad were packing up the experimental equipment, preparing to bring it back.

As for the captives from the HR Alliance squads, they were casually bandaged, and once it was ensured they would not die, they were tossed into a nearby room under the guard of several flying monsters.

Even now, everyone was still marveling as they discussed the Black Crown Golden Eagle and the many flying monsters.

Seeing how excited they were, Qin Mu considered for a moment before voicing an idea that had been on his mind.

"Professor, do you think the military would buy some tamed monsters if I sold them?

The Beast General-level monsters I tame can understand commands. If they were fitted with a communications system or something similar, they could cooperate in combat without any problem."

This idea had occurred to him when Professor Zhou mentioned that living monsters were worth more than ten times as much as dead ones.

Only then did Qin Mu realize that his previous way of thinking seemed to have gone astray.

He had actually been fixated on hunting monsters like an ordinary martial artist!

Even Luo Feng knew to steal Armored Dragon eggs and sell them!

Yet he had never considered that he could directly sell monsters, or even Zerg Units.

Not to mention the Swarm, he already had a large number of Zergified flying monsters from the past few days alone. They could be sold entirely.

As soon as Professor Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up. Even He Jing Tian and the others stopped what they were doing.

"Of course we want them! We'll take however many you sell!"

"You mean you're selling those flying ferocious beasts you tamed?

The military will be thrilled out of their minds!"

Professor Zhou immediately replied.

"They can be commanded to cooperate in battle?"

He Jing Tian was stunned by that statement and asked.

After receiving an affirmative answer, He Jing Tian's expression changed. He immediately said,

"Yes, we want them! The military will take them all! I'll contact my superiors right away. The price will definitely satisfy you!"

What a joke. Beast General-level monsters, even Lord-level Monsters, that could cooperate in battle!

Buy them. They absolutely had to buy them, even if they had to sell everything they owned!

How much did an ordinary fighter jet cost? At least a billion!

And the Combat Power of such an ordinary fighter jet was only at the Beast General level!

If their squad had a Beast General-level flying monster, their Combat Power could absolutely double!

They did not even need to think about Lord-level ones. A High Beast General-level Black Crown Golden Eagle or Wind Chasing Eagle would do just fine.

He Jing Tian immediately raised his combat watch and called his superior, reporting the situation.

Sure enough, the other side immediately approved it. As long as Qin Mu was willing to sell, the military would buy!

The price was negotiable. A War God-level military expert had already boarded a fighter jet and rushed over when he received He Jing Tian's distress signal. They could discuss it face-to-face.

"Brother Mu, are you selling that Lord-level Black Crown Golden Eagle of yours?"

He Jing Tian, already in his thirties, suddenly asked with an ingratiating smile.

"Not for now. I have a use for it too."

Qin Mu smiled as well. Of course he would not sell it now. After all, he only had one Lord-level Monster in his possession.

But once he had enslaved more Lord-level Monsters in the future, he could consider it if the price was right.

Once he thought it through, Qin Mu realized that selling Zergified monsters, or even Zerg Units, was no different from Hong selling Smart Fighter Jets. What he was selling was merely second-level authorization!

Why not let the military raise his Swarm for him?

The true control would still remain in his hands. He could even use it to monitor the military's every move in real time!

As for whether the military could discover the abnormalities of the Zerg?

That was simply overthinking it. If the military had that capability, they would not have been forced by a group of monsters to survive only within Base Cities.

"What a pity. I have to return to Base City for school soon, otherwise I could consider enslaving that beginner Lord-level Swamp Salamander and selling it to the military."

Qin Mu looked at Professor Zhou and said seemingly absentmindedly.

What was his main purpose in joining the military? Was it not to learn biological technology?

Right before him stood a leading authority in biological research. If he did not seize this opportunity, he would be too foolish!

Professor Zhou and the people around him were all filled with confusion.

"School? What school?"

"Enslave that Lord-level Swamp Salamander? You have a way to enslave that Lord-level Swamp Salamander?"

In an instant, Professor Zhou rushed in front of Qin Mu and asked eagerly.

The value of a Lord-level Swamp Salamander that had been enslaved and could cooperate in experiments was simply enormous!

"Professor Zhou, I may have forgotten to mention that I'm actually a freshman in the biology department at Jiangnan First Military School. Classes are about to start, after all."

Qin Mu spread his hands and said innocently.

"After becoming a Mental Master, I discovered that perhaps because I'd been interested in this field since childhood, I awakened the talent of a Beast Tamer.

"Later, I discovered that in-depth research in biology was greatly helpful to my beast-taming ability.

"So after joining the military, I wasn't directly assigned to a unit. Instead, I would first study at Jiangnan First Military School for a while under military status."

Professor Zhou and the people around him were left stunned, all feeling that something about this was utterly bizarre.

A beginner War God Mental Master like him was going to military school?

And as a freshman?

This was simply ridiculous!

"Enrollment? You need to make a trip yourself for something so trivial?

"I'll call the principal and have him handle those matters. You're interested in biology?

"Come, come. Let me see how solid your foundation is."

After hearing Qin Mu's explanation and understanding the situation, Professor Zhou beamed. His old face wrinkled into a smile like a chrysanthemum.

Having switched into teacher mode, Professor Zhou began asking professional questions, starting from the simplest and gradually becoming more advanced.

Qin Mu answered based on the knowledge he had taught himself over the past few days. At first, he did fine, but he gradually struggled until he no longer understood anything at all.

"Not bad. Your basic knowledge is quite solid!

"You haven't even started school yet, but the knowledge you taught yourself is already comparable to that of an average second-year student.

"Your overall breadth of knowledge is still somewhat lacking, but you understand some issues very well and have ideas of your own."

Professor Zhou was clearly satisfied and nodded in praise.

"Are you interested in coming to work with me? I'll arrange for you to join a project team, and you can learn directly alongside your senior brothers and sisters.

"If you want to take postgraduate entrance exams or anything like that later, leave it all to me."

Qin Mu was naturally delighted to hear that. Was this not exactly his goal?

"Of course I'm interested. Thank you, Professor Zhou!"

Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, a dark blue streak of light swiftly cut across the sky.

A dark blue, saucer-shaped fighter jet with sleek curves hovered above the hotel. The hatch opened, and an expert clad in dark green battle armor and carrying a spear leaped down.

The military's War God-level reinforcement had arrived.

The newcomer was a soldier with a standard square face and a stern expression. He moved with the bearing of a dragon and tiger, the very image of a military man.

Under everyone's gaze, he first walked up to Professor Zhou and gave a military salute.

"Professor Zhou, I am Li Shun. I have been ordered to escort you safely back to Jiangnan Base City."

Professor Zhou's expression turned serious as well as he replied,

"I've caused trouble for the organization. I didn't expect to alarm your Huashan Organization."

Li Shun swept his gaze around the area. When he saw the Black Crown Golden Eagle lying not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly. Then he turned toward Qin Mu, and his expression softened.

"Colonel Qin Mu, on my way here, I received orders from my superiors to communicate with you in full regarding the sale of monsters you mentioned."

Li Shun had already looked up all of Qin Mu's information on the way here.

Both of Qin Mu's parents had been soldiers, and he was the orphan of fallen heroes. To someone like Li Shun, who had spent his entire life in the military, there could be no one more unquestionably loyal. He instinctively felt favorably toward him.

"You may state any requirements you have, and we will do our best to meet them. But I have one question: how many monsters can you provide, and what is their exact strength?"

Qin Mu smiled.

"As for the quantity, there might be quite a lot!"
