Professor Luo Hui came quickly to collect his debts, and he left just as quickly.

Having obtained the five exotic beasts, the transport vehicle immediately changed direction and returned to Western Capital.

"I didn't realize Luo Hui valued you so much," Zhu Liangping said half-jokingly.

"That's mainly because I still owe him ten million," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If Gao Gao and I were on better terms, he would definitely know the best time to come and collect the debt!"

"Your ten million, wow!"

Even for Zhu Liangping, ten million is a huge sum of money; it's not a type of liquid capital that he can easily withdraw.

But for Zhang Xuezhou, this could very well be a matter of just two months.

If he were to encounter a few suckers, Zhang Xuezhou might be able to collect them all at once.

Recently, a lot of news has been circulating among the top circles in Western Capital, involving international news, Qin Meng's hunting, and the news that Zhang Xuezhou tamed some strange beasts through psychology is also spreading like wildfire in the circle.

There's no particular reason for this spread; it's just that currently only Zhang Xuezhou is doing this, and the other party is visibly making a lot of money off him.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to write a book in the future, allowing everyone to learn from it, it would surely lead to the formation of an industry related to the breeding of exotic animals.

This industry won't be very large, but it will at least ensure that current intermediaries don't lose money, while also providing positive benefits to gene research.

Everyone is eagerly watching, waiting for Zhang Xuezhou to get promoted quickly, then write a book, and perhaps even start a related major at some university.

And there are also those like Zhu Liangping who use connections to get acquainted with people in advance and gather information.

"Your skill is remarkable," Zhu Liangping said. "Everyone's watching you closely, hoping to learn your skills!"

"What's there for me to keep an eye on?" Zhang Xuezhou shrugged. "So many underground casinos make a fortune every day. I have to wait month after month to find a suitable buyer before I can make a little money!"

"This isn't a small amount of money!"

"It's only a few million!"

"That's all?"

If Zhu Liangping hadn't known that Zhang Xuezhou indeed came from a humble background, he would have truly believed that Zhang Xuezhou was born into a wealthy family.

But it's difficult for any young person from a wealthy family to be as indifferent to money as Zhang Xuezhou.

For example, Zhang Xuezhou was able to get a 20 million yuan credit from a stingy person like Professor Luo Hui, and even caused a scene where Professor Luo Hui chased after him for the debt, but then Professor Luo Hui willingly gave him these tamed beasts to offset a 10 million yuan debt.

It may seem that Zhang Xuezhou made millions at the farmers' market, but it had the effect of generating tens of millions or even more.

This value conversion is extremely rapid and effective; even wealthy and powerful Aristocratic Clan that control numerous enterprises rarely achieve this level of success.

Zhu Liangping didn't need to verify other people's information; simply because he was the son of Zhu Bufan, the fourth commissioner of the Scarlet Alliance State, his insight clearly understood the value comparison involved.

This was especially true when Zhang Xuezhou was unarmed, and it seemed that his opponent had paid almost no price.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou raises alien beasts, the other party only needs to provide some grass, meat, and space for feeding. Unlike others, they do not need to ensure the cages, automatic feeding lines, medical equipment, Tongfeng equipment, large venues, etc. In fact, middlemen need to prepare medical teams, sequencers and sequencers to control alien beasts in order to barely maintain normal operation.

The expenses involved are enormous.

This was one of the businesses owned by the Zhu Household.

This business was losing money year after year, to the point that Zhu Liangping was numb to it, and even came to believe that losing money on raising unprocessed exotic beasts was a normal occurrence.

If the Zhu Household hadn't also obtained relevant balances in gene research materials from this, Zhu Liangping felt that this kind of industry should be left to whoever wants to do it.

Thinking about his own company's various modern equipment, and then about the necklaces, nose rings, and other items that Zhang Xuezhou casually put on ropes, Zhu Liangping felt that comparing people was just plain frustrating.

It was a coincidence that he had followed Ren Yisheng in studying social psychology; Zhu Liangping never imagined that he could study strange beasts as well.

"So you wanted to discuss this aspect of psychology with me!"

Zhu Liangping's personal visit to deliver the lecturer qualification certificate from the Shengteng Academy was not out of boredom, but because his company was in competition with Zhang Xuezhou.

If possible, he hopes Zhang Xuezhou can contribute his technology as equity and enjoy the annual company dividends.

"Do you remember the art of realms we discussed before?"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for more than ten seconds before speaking.

You mean?

"Although this touches on psychology, it's more of a technique that can only be practiced after one has reached a certain level of spiritual cultivation!"

"Is it a technique?"

Zhu Liangping took a deep breath.

The memory of vomiting after swallowing Peiyuan paste in the past flashed through Zhu Liangping's mind, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Ren Yisheng into trouble, Wang Haoran met a bad end, Song Bu'er suffered a period of mental instability and is still somewhat strange now, and Qin Wenhan also suffers from the aftereffects of his habit of chirping like a bird. Everyone ended up in this situation, and Zhu Liangping wisely stopped following along to learn from him.

If Zhang Xuezhou's ability to tame strange beasts stems from a technique, and cultivating this technique requires a certain level of cultivation, this situation is indeed very difficult.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou were willing to share his technology, it's not something just anyone can do.

"Besides you, who else can use this technique now?" Zhu Liangping asked.

"Right now, I'm the only one," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If Ren Anran returns to China, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to reach my current level after she learns it!"

"Doesn't Manqian know how either?"

"Her cultivation level is still quite far from being able to learn this," Zhang Xuezhou said, pointing to his head. "Aside from the realm, those skilled in intimidation-type combat techniques have a certain advantage in practicing this, but this technique isn't really suitable for my sister to learn!"

"So?"

"My current success rate for casting spells is one or two out of ten. If my sister were to cultivate, the success rate might be two or three out of ten," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Gambling on that probability would be very difficult."

The Beast Taming Techniques of the Beast Taming Sect are not suitable for any school of thought to learn across disciplines.

The cultivation techniques of the Yin-Yang School fall within the scope, and the "Heart Incantation" can also serve as a substitute to some extent, but this will inevitably affect the success rate. The only way to increase the success rate is to rely on a strong spirit.

This requires either cultivating Mental Strengthening Chapter or possessing high levels of spiritual power.

Within Zhang Xuezhou's current knowledge, only Ren Anran is relatively suitable for practicing the Soul-Inducing Beast Control Technique.

"If that's the case, do you think Uncle Zhu could invite you to be a specially hired technician over there?"

Zhu Liangping spoke intermittently, trying to bridge the gap between them, who were somewhat unfamiliar with each other. Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou did not resist, he then addressed himself as Uncle Zhu and extended his invitation.

If Zhang Xuezhou lacks the technical expertise to contribute as equity, Zhu Liangping suggests that Zhang Xuezhou could work as a technician for them.

Within their company, Zhang Xuezhou was free to use his magic on the strange beasts, and they would give him a reward for every one Zhang Xuezhou tamed.

Although the reward was lower than what Zhang Xuezhou paid at the farmers' market, their advantage lay in the large number of exotic beasts they housed, and the fact that new beasts arrived every month, making their income equally substantial.

In other words, Zhang Xuezhou won't have to worry about finding buyers in the future; the Zhu Household will buy all the exotic beasts that Zhang Xuezhou has tamed.

"If you want to open a factory that raises exotic beasts, Uncle Zhu will absolutely not object, nor will he let anyone in the industry interfere," Zhu Liangping assured him. "Uncle Zhu can even introduce you to some customers!"

Compared to the annual losses, Zhu Liangping naturally hopes that his alien beast factory can turn a profit, which would at least make him more financially secure.

He described his situation in a low voice and mentioned their cooperation, which Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed to.

Even if he didn't know Zhu Liangping Zhu Liangping, he would still take the bait if offered such a good deal.

With Zhu Liangping as his backer, the Scarlet Alliance State's focus on Zhang Xuezhou regarding beast taming will inevitably diminish.
