Every World Beast was equivalent to a Beast Gold element absorber—a rich source of Beast Gold.
Such a powerful energy source was simply too precious to Shen Feng and human civilization as they were now.
That had been Shen Feng's plan from the start: build a Beast Gold ranch directly in the UY Scuti star system, let these World Beasts live happily, then come by regularly to harvest and refine Beast Gold. When necessary, he could even deploy the World Beasts as combat power. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
The Devourer Beast Ancestor instantly understood Shen Feng's meaning. It let out a savage roar, electric arcs flashing all over its body as it began struggling desperately.
How could it allow itself to be controlled by these lowly creatures and lose its freedom?
"Tut, tut, it's pretty stubborn." Jingwei shook her head in surprise. "Xiaofeng, looks like it ignored your proposal. I still think it'd be better to raise ordinary World Beasts. They may not be individually strong, but you can raise more of them. Raising a flock of chickens and raising one cow gives you about the same amount of protein anyway."
Shen Feng said helplessly, "Sis, phrasing, phrasing! I was originally planning to discuss a future partnership with it, where we'd exchange what we had. I'd spare its life, set it up with some fun virtual games, karaoke, whatever, to enrich its life, and then have it round up some World Beasts for skinning, butchering, and Beast Gold extraction. But you came right out calling it a Beast Gold sow. That's way too damaging to its beastly dignity. Of course it wouldn't be willing."
"Bullshit! It's a defeated general. What dignity does it need? Besides, do you think intelligence that evolved naturally would be subdued by your consumerist sugar-coated shells?
