Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 47 Shocking News

"Huh? The house is so quiet today?" Pushing open the door of the room, Zhong Cong muttered in some confusion.

Normally at this time, isn't the house quite noisy, filled with those disgusting-sounding conversations between the male and female protagonists?

Why is it so quiet today? No sound at all? Has Xu Tingting changed her personality?

"Grawo, you're back? You're a little late today." Just as Zhong Cong was muttering to himself, Xu Tingting, who had put down her phone, noticed Zhong Cong standing at the door.

"Yes, a little bit. What's wrong? What's the matter?" Zhong Cong asked after hearing this and walked in.

"Professor Wang called me just now and said he would increase his investment in you. Do you know what he said just now?"

Xu Tingting looked at Zhong Cong with a mysterious smile, as if she wanted to ask me what had happened.

"Are you planning to give me a thousand fire crystals every week?" After hearing this, Zhong Cong thought for a while and asked.

"No, Groudon." Xu Tingting shook her head and said, "Can you guess again?"

"So you'll give me 10,000 Fire Crystals a week?" Zhong Cong said, feeling that what he said was not right. He was reluctant to give 1,000, so how could he give 10,000? So he waved his claws and said, "Forget it, just tell me the truth. I can't guess it if you keep asking me to guess."

"It's not one thousand or ten thousand Fire Crystals, but one hundred Fire Crystal Marrows." Xu Tingting smiled and said, "This is much better than ten thousand Fire Crystals. The energy contained in one Fire Crystal Marrow is more than the energy contained in one hundred Fire Crystals."

"That does make sense. When are we going to get the Fire Crystal Marrow?" After hearing this, Zhong Cong felt that this was a reasonable thing to give.

A divine beast as powerful as him only gave him a hundred fire crystals a week, which was barely enough for him to fill his teeth.

"Professor Wang asked us to go get it tomorrow morning and measure your energy value." Xu Tingting said with a smile: "How is it? Groudon. This is a good thing, right?"

"Yes, it's a good thing." Hearing this, Zhong Cong nodded and said, "So I have to go to bed now. If nothing unexpected happens, we will see each other tomorrow morning."

"Ah? Groudon, you're not having dinner?" Xu Tingting was surprised when she heard this. What happened to Groudon today? Why didn't he have dinner and went to sleep?

"No more eating, let's go to sleep, sleep." Zhong Cong replied and closed his eyes.

Fighting the Fire Dragon King consumed so much strength and energy that he felt dizzy when he walked home.

How could he still have the mood to eat? He just wanted to sleep.

"Well, Groudon, you go to sleep first." Xu Tingting said helplessly, picked up the energy block and walked towards the Golden-winged Roc.

"Sixteen thousand, nineteen thousand, twenty-three thousand, thirty-two thousand?"

"It's unbelievable. It's only been a few days. Groudon's energy value has reached the level of a mid-level leader."

In the laboratory early in the morning, the middle-aged man looked at the energy value displayed on the machine and said in disbelief.

In just a few days, the energy value has increased several times. This is really too outrageous.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Not only that, his height has grown to 1.3 meters. His weight has reached an astonishing 400 kilograms. It's rare to see such a small body with such a stable weight."

Professor Wang at the side adjusted his glasses and spoke.

"Indeed, but it's impossible to tell from the outside." The middle-aged man nodded.

"You are calling me fat in disguise, right?" Zhong Cong was speechless when he heard this.

What's wrong with him being a little heavier? Is there any need to be so surprised? He didn't eat their rice.

How can he have the weight he has today? It is all earned through his own hard work.

Otherwise, relying on the little bit of fire crystals given by the research institute every week, it is unknown when he would be able to think so big.

"Xiao Li, please record Groudon's current values. I'll go get him the Fire Crystal Essence." Seeing that the data collection was almost done, Professor Wang adjusted his glasses and said to the middle-aged man.

"Okay, teacher."

The middle-aged man nodded after hearing this and began to record.

When Zhong Cong, who had just gotten off the machine, heard that the other party was going to get the fire crystal marrow, he hurriedly followed with his short legs.

But he was quickly stopped by Xu Tingting:
"Graw-O, the professor will bring the Fire Crystal."

"We just need to stay here and be quiet. There's no need to go with them."

If Groudon were allowed to follow us to the place where the Fire Crystal Essence was stored in the research institute, the entire research institute would probably be looted by Groudon in less than half an hour.

By then, even if she sold everything she had, she might not be able to compensate.

"Okay, okay." Hearing this, Zhong Cong stopped helplessly. He had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to grab some food, but now it seems that this is not possible.

I can only stay here and wait for Professor Wang to come out. I hope the wait won't be too long.

He could already smell the strong energy in the air; it seemed that the entire institute was richer than he had imagined.

If he could eat everything stored in the institute, he would be able to grow to at least three meters tall.

"click"

"click"

Just as Zhong Cong was thinking this, the sound of a cart was heard in the quiet research institute. The fire element energy, which was much richer than the fire crystal, immediately attracted Zhong Cong's attention.

As long as he swallowed these fire crystal marrows, he felt that he was one step closer to dominating the entire volcano training ground.

"Okay, these fire crystals of Groudon are yours. You can do with them as you please." Professor Wang said with a smile when he saw Zhong Cong's eyes shining brightly.

Hearing this, Zhong Cong couldn't wait to walk towards the cart covered with black cloth.

When Professor Wang saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said to Xu Tingting who was standing beside him:

"Tingting, come with me. I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, Professor Wang."

After Xu Tingting was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, she followed Professor Wang into the reception room nearby.

"Student Tingting, are you curious about why I suddenly increased my investment in Groudon?" Professor Wang said to Xu Tingting.

"A little bit." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that. Although she knew that the professor was researching Groudon, she still didn't expect that he was willing to invest so many resources.

"Because Groudon's potential is beyond our imagination, and increasing investment in Groudon is not just my idea." Professor Wang adjusted his glasses and said, "In addition to the school's grade competition in two months, you should know that it is also the day for the National College League, right?"

If he were to rely on himself, even if he stretched his body to the limit, he would not be able to sustain Groudon's eating.

Of course, funding is needed from others, such as the school principal.

"Professor, do you mean to let Groudon participate? That's impossible. I'm afraid Groudon's strength is not enough to participate in the National College League." Xu Tingting couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she heard this.

It's true that Groudon is powerful, but he can't go to the national league, right? This is a battlefield for lord-level beast tamers. Wouldn't Groudon, with his small body, be knocked away in no time?
