Breeding Base (Thanks to "Your Dad Laughed Heartily and Said" for the Alliance Leader Reward 2)

From the outside, this place looks like a huge factory, completely isolated from the outside.

If tourists want to visit, they will have to spend another 200 yuan to buy a ticket.

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Damn it... Could it be that Xiong Wenwu is trying to boost his sales performance, so he specifically chose this location for the meeting?"

Although they were unhappy, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen still spent 400 yuan to buy two tickets and entered the Breeding Base.

Upon entering, the feeling of being refreshed and cleansed with every breath, which I had experienced in the Protected Area, vanished.

Instead, the air was dry and bitter.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Isn't the Breeding Base connected to the air of the Protected Area? Is this the air we breathe every day?"

Bai Zhenzhen sighed inwardly, "The Demon Beast in this Protected Area can barely breathe the air that their ancestors have breathed for generations."

Just then, a warm voice rang out. "Long time no see, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen."

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw a tall figure already waiting for them; it was Xiong Wenwu from Red Pagoda High School.

Seeing the two looking over, Xiong Wenwu said, "Let's talk while we tour; we can't waste the money we paid for the tickets."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen followed each other and arrived at the first stop of the Breeding Base — the Incubation Room.

Along both sides of the corridor, rows upon rows of transparent rooms were filled with various types of Demon Beast, and the only thing they had in common was that each of these Demon Beast was incubating something that looked like Dragon Egg beneath it.

However, half of the rooms appeared to be empty and unused.

"So it's Breeding Base for Demon Beast."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the various Demon Beast in the Incubation Room as if she were in a zoo, and suddenly pointed at a bear and said, "Haha, Xiong Wenwu, doesn't that bear look like you before you were transformed?"

Xiong Wenwu looked at Incubation Room 33, where a huge demon bear was lying on the ground, snoring as it slept.

Xiong Wenwu said calmly, "That's my mother."

"Huh?" Bai Zhenzhen was completely bewildered.

Xiong Wenwu looked at the two and said, "The Breeding Base will find suitable mothers among the Demon Beast, then implant the True Dragon Bloodline to create offspring that contain the bloodline of the dragon race."

"I heard that they used to use incubators directly, but the company felt that the price of Demon Beast mothers was cheaper, and the Breeding Base didn't need to produce too many animals, so in the end they found us a real mother."

"After all, there are plenty of Demon Beast in the Protected Area, so it's easy to capture them."

Xiong Wenwu looked at the Demon Beast in the Incubation Room and said calmly, "Although she is my mother, she is just a Demon Beast with little intelligence, and she doesn't recognize me anymore."

Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu, who had never encountered such a conversation before, were both stunned and didn't know what to say.

In silence, the three of them arrived at the Newborn Area again.

Inside each incubator were various Demon Descendant offspring with different appearances.

Some were fast asleep, some were staring wide-eyed outside, and some had a syringe inserted into their backs and were screaming.

Xiong Wenwu said calmly, "The larvae here will be continuously injected with various medicines; those that cannot withstand the effects will be eliminated..."

Then came the Learning Room, where a group of young Demon Descendant beings were intently watching the screen, which was playing a preschool version of the Red Pagoda Husbandry induction training, explaining how to treat the company like home.

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a preschool-style onboarding training?"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking to himself that Red Pagoda Husbandry were outrageous.

But then Bai Zhenzhen continued, "They were born with a job? A lot of people outside must envy that kind of treatment, right?"

Xiong Wenwu said with a hint of pride, "The company will provide a job for every Demon Descendant born in the Breeding Base. They will receive onboarding training from a young age and be instilled with the company's spirit."

"Because of this, every year ordinary people come to protest, wanting to send their children to the Breeding Base to study with us."

A few steps further, they saw a group of young Demon Descendant beings doing exercises while shouting slogans, "Join hands and move forward to create the future; the light of fatherly love illuminates us all."

In front of them was a portrait of a black dragon, which appeared to be a member of the board of directors of Red Pagoda High School.

As they continue down this path, they can see that the Demon Descendant descendants are getting older and older. From onboarding training to General Education, and then through repeated exams and streams, more and more Demon Descendant are assigned to work to repay their Breeding Debt, while the number of Demon Descendant who stay to continue their studies is decreasing.

Xiong Wenwu continued, "Originally, this place could produce a large number of Demon Descendant every year. They would either study hard, get into university, and become promising talents for Red Pagoda Husbandry."

"Either they are directly assigned to work at the company, work diligently, and become the cornerstone of Red Pagoda Husbandry."

"But since introducing the new technology from the Oasis Group, the company has decided to change its business direction. A large number of ranches and factories have been acquired by the Oasis Group, and the Breeding Base here will probably have to be phased out."

Xiong Wenwu knew that for the Demon Descendant who had always lived and worked here, leaving the Red Pagoda was more terrifying than going to work in a factory.

However, as a mere high school freshman, there was nothing he could change. The only thing he could do was try to take care of the people he cared about. After walking and stopping along the way, the three of them arrived at the Finished Product Room.

In the rooms on both sides of the corridor, seventeen-year-old Demon Descendant were studying diligently at their desks.

They wore electric shock collars around their necks to keep them awake and alleviate fatigue.

The chains on his feet, connected to the desk, symbolize his determination to learn wherever he goes.

The feeder in front of them has an automatic feeding function, which can automatically feed them after they have completed each task as required.

Looking at this scene, Xiong Wenwu's face flashed with a hint of nostalgia, and he said, "They are studying the General Knowledge Class for three years of high school, preparing for the junior high school graduation exam at the Breeding Base."

"After all, whether they can enter high school next year will determine whether they will study or work in the future, so everyone is studying very hard."

Zhang Yu thought to himself... Damn it, if I don't study, will I starve to death?

Recalling what he had seen and heard after entering the Protected Area, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This company is really... they squeeze every last drop out of you, and then they even trample you underfoot."

In the latter half of the story, Xiong Wenwu brought up the matter of Spirit Vein.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

"In the Incubation Room of the Breeding Base, in order to ensure the growth of the larvae and the True Dragon Bloodline, a Spirit Vein Pipeline was introduced, which contains air and a high concentration of Spiritual Energy from within the Spirit Vein."

"But only the Incubation Room has the necessary facilities, so we need someone to arrange for you to sneak in."

Bai Zhenzhen asked curiously, "Won't we be discovered?"

Xiong Wenwu, standing to the side, shook his head. "Most of the Breeding Base is already automated, with only one person in charge. As long as this person in charge agrees, no one will notice if we try to steal some Spirit Vein."

Zhang Yu pointed to the meter on his body and asked, "What do we do about this?"

Xiong Wenwu said, "The Breeding Base is on the edge of the Protected Area. There is a External Material Transportation Channel here, and I've already secured the connection and confirmed that there are no problems. Next time, I'll take you directly through that route."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen then noticed that Xiong Wenwu didn't seem to have any billing device on him.

Xiong Wenwu further warned, "But if you come in through that passage, you can only stay in the Breeding Base at most. Don't go out. The Protected Area has too many surveillance methods; you will definitely be discovered."

Zhang Yu then asked, "What's the price?"

Xiong Wenwu said, "8000 per hour."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged a glance and both felt that the price wasn't too expensive.

After all, based on the prices in the Protected Area outside, for people of their physical condition, they would need to spend several thousand yuan per hour just to Breath Circulation, let alone the air and rich Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein.

Bai Zhenzhen then asked, "Why did you choose to make a deal with us?"

"I've asked around, you two are pretty poor, aren't you?" Xiong Wenwu chuckled. "I don't trust people who are too rich. And the only ones who are so poor yet still covet Spirit Vein Spirit Vein come to me asking about them are you two... I guess I had no other choice."

Xiong Wenwu continued, "Now there's one last problem: the sole employee at this Breeding Base might disagree with the deal."

"She's the one I'll introduce you to in a moment."

"So I need your cooperation to talk to her together."

"You will follow my instructions..."

Upon hearing Xiong Wenwu's arrangements, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen showed strange expressions.

Arriving at the final souvenir sales area, besides the Onboarding Training Manual, the Breeding Base's Special Test Paper, the same electric shock collars, and various Demon Descendant dolls, Zhang Yu's gaze also swept over the various beast bones, beast blood, and Demon Beast Meat.

Although Demon Beast have always been regarded as animals, completely different from Demon Descendant, seeing this thing here still made Zhang Yu feel awkward.

Upon arriving at the souvenir counter, Xiong Wenwu greeted her with a smile, "Sister, I've come to see you."

This was the first time Zhang Yu had ever seen Xiong Wenwu smile so happily on his savage face.

Looking at the little panda behind the counter, Zhang Yu still looked puzzled. But then he thought about how the Demon Descendant at Red Pagoda High School always addressed each other as brothers and sisters, so it didn't seem so strange.

Xiong Wenwu said to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, "This is my Elder Sister, An An. If it weren't for her helping me learn to read when I was little, I might have been eliminated long ago."

"She has some opportunities to access Spirit Vein; she can introduce them to you."

However, the little panda behind the counter did not seem to agree with what Xiong Wenwu said.

She raised her hands, looking angry, and said, "Xiong Wenwu! What are you doing! I told you I wouldn't betray the company's interests!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Wenwu sighed inwardly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.
