"This one, please." Luo Yu chose one and pointed to the masochistic Rock Goat.
Little brat, you know how to enjoy yourself. Come back with me and I'll satisfy you.
Put you in a cage with "Water Element Enhancement" Honey Water Bee, and who says breast milk isn't water?
"Hmm?" Seeing that Luo Yu had chosen one so quickly, the three of them were Shui Wuyue aback and looked at it carefully.
It doesn't look particularly special...
"Hello." Chen Bo stepped forward, attempting to start a conversation.
"Meow~~(Slap me hard~~)"
Chen Bo:?
"Hey, hey, hey, are you sure you're okay with choosing this one? What about its mental state and all that?" Chen Bo asked in shock.
Luo Yu chuckled, "Mental problems don't matter, as long as the body is fine. Look at its physique, isn't it quite strong?"
The old man in the straw hat adjusted his hat, his expression strange.
This one... is definitely healthy.
But it's a mental illness.
They love causing trouble and don't learn their lesson even when whipped; the more they are whipped, the more excited they become.
However, after she became pregnant, I stopped physically punishing her so as not to affect her delivery.
Seeing that Luo Yu had chosen it, the old man in the straw hat was overjoyed. "That's good. I can finally get rid of this crazy sheep."
"Let's take this one then." Yu Wan looked at it and found that it was indeed robust, with Thick Skin and Tough Flesh.
Luo Yu continued to observe...
Then, my eyes lit up when I spotted a very scruffy Rock Goat!
[Race]: Rock Goat
[Individual Talent]: Fermentation Master (Senior Level talent: The taste of the milk produced will decrease significantly as the storage time increases, but the nutritional content will increase.)
"I want this one too." Luo Yu picked out another one in the blink of an eye.
Excellent, excellent! This is century-old aged milk; the older it is, the more nourishing it becomes.
Seeing this one, Luo Yu knew that the trip had been worthwhile.
"This one...?" Chen Bo still couldn't understand.
The old man in the straw hat took one look and realized that this one was producing very little milk, and it seemed to have been sick recently. Although there were no outward signs, the milk was spoiling very quickly...
He was stunned. How did this boy manage to pick only the inferior individuals out of the two he chose?
Even though half of the sheep in this flock are ordinary individuals, you're just a garbage dump.
"This one." Luo Yu picked out another one.
[Individual Talent]: Omnivorous (A normal talent; the more varied the diet, the healthier the body.)
Although it has nothing to do with milk production, it can at least make you healthier, and when you're healthy, your milk production will naturally be better.
The main problem is that there are too few individuals here, so Luo Yu doesn't have many options.
"This."
"This..."
Shui Wuyue and Yu Wan originally wanted to try their method to pick out the Rock Goat, but they found that Luo Yu didn't give them a chance at all...
Before long, Luo Yu had selected 10 ewes.
"Have you chosen yet?" Shui Wuyue.
I haven't even made a move yet!
Luo Yu nodded. "That's about right, ten of them will do. Let's go check on the rams."
Shui Wuyue fell into deep thought. Oh well... Luo Yu was the main driving force behind the Ancient Grotto project anyway, so let's listen to Luo Yu.
In the end, they selected 15 Rock Goat to buy, which would be Rock Goat by the farm to the "Raging Blue" ship and sailed across the ocean to Mirror Moon Island.
"Old Hu, how did their selection go?" After Luo Yu and the others left, Shi Ning, the steward of the Glazed Glass Chamber of Commerce, asked the zookeeper about the situation.
"A lump," the old man in the straw hat said, shaking his head.
"They completely followed that young man's lead; whatever he said went. But I think that young man didn't understand Rock Goat at all. Of the 15 they picked, most of them were problematic individuals."
"However, it's also a good thing... we got rid of a bunch of useless Rock Goat..."
Shi Ning said, "Really? Judging from their intentions, they wanted to transport the Rock Goat to Mirror Moon Island for breeding, but it seems unlikely."
Rock Goat are highly dependent on specific environments for survival. If they leave Thousand Rock Island, they will likely suffer from acclimatization problems. Moreover, their reproductive progress is very slow, with only one litter every six months.
In this situation, she felt that once the sheep were transported to Mirror Moon Island, they would all die soon and would not generate any profit.
However, this time, the selection of the Rock Goat was actually led by that young man?
The steward of the Glazed Glass Chamber of Commerce was quite surprised; she had thought that it would be Shui Wuyue or Yu Wan who would take the lead.
She didn't pay much attention to Luo Yu and Chen Bo...
"Investigate what those two Apprentice Beast Taming Master have been doing on Thousand Rock Island these past two days."
Just who is this Luo Yu? How could he possibly make a King Level Beast Taming Tamer and the bureau chief's secretary listen to his choices...?
After losing to Luo Yu, the girl with pigtails not only lost her money, but also her smile.
She later investigated Mirror Moon Island and found that it was indeed just a small, rural island.
It can't compare to a large island like Thousand Rock Island, whether in terms of economy, education, area, resources...
However, it was Beast Taming from such a small island who suppressed her with a Earth Penguin.
Their race level, health level, and equipment were all inferior to mine; their victory was practically illegitimate.
"You must be Yang Qian, right?" A figure appeared in front of the girl with pigtails outside the school.
"Who are you?" The girl with pigtails looked at the woman in sunglasses in front of her.
"Shi Ning, steward of the Glazed Glass Chamber of Commerce, I have a question for you. Two days ago, did you have a beast duel with two Beast Taming from outer islands at the arena?"
The girl with pigtails was taken aback. How did her beast-fighting with two outsiders attract the attention of the Glazed Glass Chamber of Commerce?
Isn't the Glazed Glass Chamber of Commerce an organization that connects with visiting merchant caravans?
"Yes."
Could you elaborate?
The girl with pigtails twitched at the corner of her mouth; wasn't this just rubbing salt into her wound?
However, since her family's goat milk business was also under the management of the Chamber of Commerce, and she couldn't afford to offend the deacon, she truthfully replied, "That spiky-haired guy isn't very capable; he's all show and no substance."
"But that guy wearing an orca-themed t-shirt and shorts, with the Earth Penguin..."
"He's a pervert!"
"My Rock Goat... was defeated by its Earth Penguin in almost a single encounter."
Is that Low-Rank Species?
"I feel that, apart from those two who have formed contracts with the Monarch Species, no one else in the school would be a match for him."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ning's heart sank.
This Yang Qian is considered an excellent student at Thousand Rock Island Beast Taming High School. Her Rock Goat is even stronger than some of the Superior Species.
But how could such a top student be suppressed by Luo Yu in a single encounter?
Or is it Earth Penguin?
The other party deliberately challenged Yang Qian, probably to learn about the Rock Goat. In that case, he is indeed the key figure in this selection process.
"A young man who can breed Earth Penguin to near- Monarch Species... Could the Rock Goat he chose be all inferior individuals, as the breeder said? Something just doesn't feel right."
"If he avoids the inferior individuals and only chooses ordinary ones, he can be described as having exceptional insight."
"But avoiding ordinary individuals and mostly picking inferior ones... something just doesn't seem right." Shi Ning couldn't quite put her finger on it. Surely these inferior individuals weren't actually inferior...
But those were inferior individuals specifically selected by the zookeeper. Could his eye be better than that of a professional Rock Goat herder?
Never mind, the deal is done. It's just a matter of taking back a dozen or so inferior Rock Goat. It's unlikely that this transaction will impact the commercial landscape of Thousand Rock Island.
At this time, Luo Yu and his group had already left Thousand Rock Island and set off back to Mirror Moon.
On the Raging Blue, Luo Yu was very excited because the batch of Rock Goat provided by Thousand Rock Island had many good talents. They might not be obvious on the surface, but their hidden talents were all top-notch.
Especially that Fermentation Master.
Normal goat milk has a shelf life of less than a day, yet it's said to become more nutritious the longer it's stored?
Among the rams, Luo Yu also picked out a good one!
[Individual Talent]: Crossbreeding Model (Senior Level talent, significantly increases the probability of producing offspring with other sheep breeds.)
Very good.
We could take this male Rock Goat back and crossbreed it with the water-type mutant sheep from Mirror Moon Island. Maybe it could produce a new breed with both rock and water attributes!
Once I get back, I need to apply for and obtain the breeding rights for these Rock Goat. Otherwise, if they are raised by others besides myself, their full value may not be realized.
"Hmm... does the research institute intend to apply to open a ranch? Let's call it QQ Ranch." Luo Yu looked at July, who was fishing.
At this point, with many more sheep on board, the Raging Blue dared not sail too fast or too recklessly, lest it cause any problems for the Rock Goat.
This gave July an opportunity...
"Gurgle."
In July, he fished with one hand while practicing condensing lava with the other, occasionally throwing the condensed lava into the sea to reclaim land, starting from small steps.
"Haven't you caught anything yet?" After a long while, Luo Yu came to July's side and asked her a question that made Hong Wen blush.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!!!" July angrily declared, it must be the Raging Blue, the oppressive aura was too strong, causing the mutated sea beasts to stay away...
"Hehe..." Luo Yu stood by the gunwale, watching the sea rushing past. He was just about to tell July go back and rest with him when suddenly, the sky darkened, the sea turned black, and even the Ghost Shark Possession the Raging Blue didn't realize that it had sailed into a cloud of black mist...
"Holy shit!"
