Luo Yu was not joking.
Join Mirror Moon Island for real discounts!
He wouldn't bother customizing Water Devil Beast unless it was someone on his side or there were sufficient benefits involved, even in an equal exchange.
After all, he had to personally oversee this process, which was essentially locking him in one place.
For now, things are alright. He was supposed to stay on Mirror Moon Island anyway, but once the Abyss Trial is over, he'll have to go find the Seven Mysterious Sea Regions, and then he won't have much time to breed them himself.
We can't even prepare enough for our own people, let alone for outsiders.
Luo Yu's definition of his own people currently includes at least those from Mirror Moon Island.
As expected, he will make Mirror Moon Island Mirror Moon Island breeding base, using it as the core to continuously expand his land and business empire.
Whether it's Yu Wan, Lin Li, or Chen Bo, they are all native to Mirror Moon Island. Their Lineage have been rooted here for over a hundred years, and their bond with Mirror Moon Island Mirror Moon Island even stronger. They share the same fate, whether it prospers or suffers.
Therefore, Luo Yu is willing to offer custom-made items at internal or employee prices, or even for free as a friend, since everyone is going to develop Mirror Moon Island together and are all in the same boat.
However, if the Beast Taming is from another island, then they need to consider their time investment. After all, constantly selling top-tier Water Devil Beast might make them rich, but it won't make them a top-tier powerhouse. Rapidly accumulating wealth is certainly enjoyable, but if their strength doesn't keep pace with the growth of their wealth, then that wealth... well, they'll just have to wait to be robbed.
In this era, the real opportunity to become stronger lies on the high seas; it is difficult to enter the top tiers through readily tradable wealth.
Take the Sea of Evolution as an example. It can be said that more than 90% of Abyss Level Beast Taming have encountered the Sea of Evolution, and their pets evolved into Abyss Species through the Sea of Evolution.
It is virtually impossible to buy Abyss Species with money.
In fact, the Sea of Evolution is even more important to Luo Yu.
Within the Ancient Grotto of Mirror Moon Island lies the "Crimson Core," a primordial terrestrial catastrophe. This Crimson Core can be considered the key to July's access to the catastrophe.
To use this key, July must possess at least Abyss Level power; therefore, both Mirror Moon Island and the Sea of Evolution are indispensable to Luo Yu.
Therefore, it's not unfounded that Luo Yu wanted to recruit Shi Qianqian to Mirror Moon Island.
Mirror Moon Island will definitely develop rapidly in the future, but its current population is too small to support the business empire in Luo Yu's Mirror Moon Island. Therefore, it is necessary to attract more talents to join Mirror Moon Island.
In fact, at the beginning, neither Golden Island nor Dragon Boat Island necessarily had more talent than Mirror Moon Island. The reason they are so prosperous now, with so many powerful Beast Taming gathered there, is that they were attracted by various favorable policies, which eventually created a snowball effect.
"Let me join Mirror Moon Island?"
"It's not impossible, but will you marry me?" Shi Qianqian asked. Luo Yu:?
"Don't marry."
"You're dreaming! You're not just trying to buy discounted Water Devil Beast Water Devil Beast, you're trying to buy them all at once."
Luo Yu laughed in exasperation; this guy really dared to think that way.
"Then what are you talking about?" Shi Qianqian pouted. "How am I supposed to join Mirror Moon Island?"
Luo Yu said, "Just change your Alliance registration to Mirror Moon Island, join the Mirror Moon Island fleet or create a fleet on Mirror Moon Island, and settle here."
"It's that simple?" Shi Qianqian was taken aback. Although the Sea Tamer Alliance had personal household registration, what kind of binding force could that have? Changing this meant joining Mirror Moon Island?
The bindings are way too loose!
In her understanding, if someone wanted to join the Time Clan, like her mother back then, they would at least have to marry into the clan to be considered one of them.
Luo Yu chuckled, "It's that simple."
He was Confidence that once talented people came to Mirror Moon Island, they wouldn't want to leave.
Is Chen Bo a genius? Of course he is; he passed the Mirror Moon Island training qualification assessment at the age of 16. But is he a genius? Not necessarily. On the Azure Billows Continent, he might be considered ordinary. However, even students at Azure Billows University might not have achieved as astonishing research results as Chen Bo.
What does Chen Bo have that they don't?
Chance.
Chen Bo had more opportunities to access cutting-edge research results than them, which enabled him to produce many new results based on these findings. Many talented people actually lack just such an opportunity.
The rapidly developing Mirror Moon Island was precisely such a platform, brimming with countless opportunities.
"Do you plan to build a fleet of ships in the future?" Shi Qianqian asked.
On the Azure Billows Continent, some talented Beast Taming, such as graduates of Azure Billows University, will choose to join a fleet or form their own fleet after they have gained the initial strength to go to sea, in order to seek opportunities on the high seas.
Some people encounter mysterious seas and soar into the sky, Shi Qianqian curious about Luo Yu's future plans.
"I have this idea, and I will definitely go to sea in the future," Luo Yu said.
"Then I can just join your fleet," Shi Qianqian said.
Luo Yu shook his head. "Are you sure your family will allow you to join?"
"After all, your family's plan for you was probably to keep you from doing anything dangerous before the Seedling Turtle evolves, right? The Seedling Turtle is still too weak. The reason you're allowed to participate in the Abyss Trial is because a powerful being will be overseeing the overall situation." "But going to sea... your mother can't keep following behind. While it's good to have a powerful being accompany and protect you, she also has her own things to do."
Luo Yu didn't quite trust Shi Qianqian's family to let her go out to sea alone with a group of strangers from an outer island. It was impossible for them to do so. Putting himself in her shoes, if Luo Yu had a daughter, he wouldn't feel at ease either.
Even Shi Qianqian wanted to join the fleet, her elders would definitely prioritize putting her in the Lineage fleet or using their connections to get her into a fleet belonging to someone they knew or were friends with, rather than a fleet from some remote, dilapidated island...
"Don't worry about home. I'm an adult now. I can go wherever I want," Shi Qianqian muttered.
Oh no... Luo Yu was stunned. Was he going to become the blond-haired guy who kidnapped someone else's daughter?
So... it's still easier to pick crew members from Mirror Moon Island!
"You can't convince your family, they'll never let you join, and there's no position for you on my ship. Navigator, cook, combatant, archaeologist, shipwright, doctor, translator, scout... what do you think you can do?"
Shi Qianqian was about to say "combatant," but she couldn't bring herself to say it... Yes, what could she do?
She was bewildered.
"I..."
"I can be a botanist!" she quickly found her niche.
"Think about it, ships are constantly adrift at sea. The crew can't eat fish every day, can they? To ensure nutrition, fruits and vegetables are also essential. Buying them again every time we go to an island is not only unfresh and heavy, but we can't guarantee that we can buy what we want every time. But if we just bring a few kinds of seeds and cultivate a small garden on the ship, my Seedling Turtle can mature quickly using Time Acceleration and the power of grass!" "You're not a botanist, you're an old farmer," Luo Yu corrected.
"Then don't worry about it!" Shi Qianqian said, "Just tell me if I'm useful or not."
Luo Yu scratched his head. "To be honest, it does have some effect, but the Rainbow Butterfly can replace it..."
"Coo coo coo..."
At this moment, July suddenly cried out. Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian looked over and saw a ship rapidly approaching the Moon Empress.
"That's... the White Night." Upon seeing the ship, Shi Qianqian was taken aback. "It belongs to my cousin Shi Ke."
"The one about delivering Seedling Turtle?" Luo Yu asked. "It's coming faster than I expected."
At this moment, Shi Ke, standing on the White Night, also spotted the Moon Empress and Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian on board.
"That King Level crystal core drifted here..." Shi Ke followed along, watching his cousin calling out to him from the other side, and fell into deep thought.
The two ships met, Shi Ke asked, "Qianqian, there are so many zombies around, what are you doing here? Where's your aunt?"
After saying that, he looked at Luo Yu again.
This must be Luo Yu, the one who ranked 50th in the Abyss Trial in the newspaper... My cousin is on Mirror Moon Island because of him. "Damn, so this is where it is!" He quickly discovered the supplies on the Moon Empress's deck, including the crystal core of the Zombie King Beast he had killed.
"Just some experience," Shi Qianqian replied simply, then added, "My mom's following not far away. By the way, is my cousin's wife pregnant? I'm sorry to have troubled you, cousin, to come all this way and not be able to be with her."
"It's alright, I'm the most free person at home anyway. But after I go back this time, I won't go out until the baby is born," Shi Ke said, then looked at Luo Yu: "You must be Scholar Luo Yu, right? I'm Shi Qianqian's cousin, Shi Ke, Senior Level Beast Taming Master. I heard you shared the special training methods of Mirror Moon Island with her, thanks."
"You're welcome," Luo Yu said, then looked at the other person's pet, a black and white owl.
[Race]: Day and Night Bird
[Attribute]: Time
[Racial Rank]: Lower Monarch Species
[HP Level]: 39
[Racial Abilities]: Daylight Domain, Dark Night Domain
[Individual Talent]: 1. Dark Affinity (Senior Level...)
2. Dark Night Assassin (Senior Level Talent: Greatly increases combat power at night...)
That pet is pretty good... it even has two domain skills! The other side has another one, pulling the boat; it's a huge white mutated seahorse, tilting its head, searching for the missing fishing line.
[Race]: Aurora Sea Dragon
[Attributes]: Water, Light
[Racial Rank]: Lower Monarch Species
[HP Level]: 16
[Racial Abilities]: Water Thorn, Aurora Curtain
[Individual Talent]: 1. Light Element Affinity (Senior Level...)
2. Heart of Time (Senior Level talent; individuals possessing this talent have a very small chance of learning time-related abilities.)
The second one is of a much lower level; it appears to be a familiar of the first one, and it was probably only recently formed a contract with it.
However, this second talent, "Heart of Time," is really tempting... I want it... The other party must also know that Aurora Sea Dragon has this talent, otherwise they wouldn't have made Day and Night Bird form a contract with it.
"My cousin is here. Shall we stop the training for now? Take him to Mirror Moon Island, and you can check on the Seedling Turtle ' condition too," Shi Qianqian suggested to Luo Yu.
"Cousin, Seedling Turtle alright?" She turned to look at the White Night again. "They're fine." Shi Ke nodded. At the same time, the Day and Night Bird into the ship, carrying an eco-box in its claws. Inside the lush eco-box, a green turtle the size of a washbasin was huddled in a corner.
Seedling Turtle!
Luo Yu looked over.
[Species]: Seedling Turtle
[Attributes]: Grass, Time
[Racial Rank]: Low-Rank Ordinary Species
[Health Level]: 8
[Racial Ability]: Time Acceleration
[Individual Talent]: 1. Late Bloomer (Senior Level talent; combat skills will undergo a transformation after reaching the racial limit in terms of life level...)
2. Power of the Void (Senior Level Talent...)
Luo Yu was stunned when he saw it.
The turtle your family gave us... isn't it a bit too rare? How come it's a time-based creature and also has a Space Talent?
After examining the tortoise, Luo Yu looked at Shi Qianqian.
I feel like Shi Qianqian's turtle isn't as good as this one.
Shi Qianqian's is Late Bloomer with Grass Element Affinity, while this one is Late Bloomer with Space Talent... Why didn't you give Shi Qianqian this one to contract with!
They probably didn't realize this one only had Space Talent; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent it to him. On the contrary, the one with grass-type talent was easily spotted.
Thanks to the gift of the Time Clan...
