Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 191 My Favorite Candidate for President!

These selected iron-eating worms, when given a lot of resources, have a high probability of evolving into silver-eating worms.

Once these iron-eating insects evolve into silver-eating insects, Zhong Yi will also have Zhao Kai screen these silver-eating insects.

Select the best parts and let them evolve into gold-eating beetles.

Those silver-eating insects that are eliminated are often traded to the Rare Insect Merchants Association.

The Rare Insect Merchants Guild is able to sell mithril, a metal material in high demand by crafters, by using these silver-eating insects.

Fu Hongning protected Zhong Yi, and for Zhong Yi's sake, both of his beasts suffered extremely serious damage to their very essence.

Zhong Yi would not cut off the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce's escape route just to obtain funds.

Zhong Yi and the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce established a cooperative relationship when Zhong Yi began selling iron-eating insects to them.

Zhong Yi knew very well why Fu Hongning had been trying to please her.

For an established power to join the ranks of the top powers, in addition to its own outstanding development, it also needs to find a powerful ally.

With the Rare Insect Association harboring such intentions, the cooperative relationship would become a dependent one if the company were to take care of the Rare Insect Association in the future.

For example, Zhong Yi transferred the silver-eating insect trade to the Rare Insect Merchants Association, helping the association stabilize its newly developed functions.

The Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce will increasingly rely on and depend on Zhongyi.

While focusing on expanding its influence, Zhong Yi is also willing to forge good relationships with established forces like the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, even those discarded silver-eating insects could reliably produce mithril, so Zhongyi had no need to hand them over to the Rare Insect Merchant Guild.

When the day comes that the Silver-Eating Insects are actually traded to the Rare Insect Merchants Association, Zhong Yi will negotiate terms with them again, just as she did when she cooperated with Lü Yunyi.

Fu Hongning felt a pang of regret when Zhong Yi mentioned the iron-eating worm.

Before receiving Zhongyi, I should compose myself. How could I let Zhongyi see that I didn't look well?

Fu Hongning was afraid that Zhong Yi would misunderstand him and think that he was ungrateful.

Unexpectedly, Zhongyi said that she would be willing to trade silver-eating insects to the Rare Insect Merchants Association in the future.

It's important to understand that the silver-eating bugs that produce mithril are completely different from the iron-eating bugs.

Mithril, a rare metallic material, is not usually traded on the market; it is only sold through auctions.

Fu Hongning quickly expressed his gratitude to Zhong Yi.

"Lord Su... Zhongyi, thank you so much for your support and patronage of the Rare Insect Merchant Guild!"

"I hope you won't despise me for being useless in the future. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"Lord Zhongyi, please come inside and have a seat. Our Rare Insect Merchant Guild has recently acquired a few more insect-like beasts."

Zhong Yi shook her head upon hearing this.

"President Fu, I won't go in and sit down. I really have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"I wonder if the insect-taming beast breeding bases under the Rare Insect Merchant Guild cultivate a type of tamed beast called the Geomagnetic Bee?"

Upon hearing that Zhongyi wanted to find the geomagnetic bees, Fu Hongning immediately smiled and said so.

"Lord Zhongyi, you've come to the right person if you're looking for insect-type beast tamers."

"For mid-to-high-end tamed beasts like the geomagnetic bee, our Rare Insect Merchants Association has a dedicated breeding base that is used exclusively for cultivating geomagnetic bees."

"How many of these geomagnetic bees do you want? I'll get them for you right now."

Zhong Yi waved her hand upon hearing this, feeling somewhat helpless.

Why would I need so many geomagnetic bees?

Could it be that they can recruit a group of beast tamers who are compatible with bee-type beast taming, and then have these beast tamers contract with electromagnetic bees to form a geomagnetic bee army?!

"President Fu, if you don't have anything to do later, why don't you take me to the geomagnetic bee breeding base?"

"If you're busy, just arrange for someone to take me there."

Fu Hongning was worried about not having a chance to contact Zhong Yi, and to be honest, Fu Hongning didn't have much to do this morning.

Even if there are important gatherings, Fu Hongning will simply turn them down.

Fu Hongning didn't know what Zhong Yi wanted to do at the geomagnetic bee breeding base, but he still said so.

"Lord Zhongyi, I will take you there now."

"The breeding base for geomagnetic bees is in the western suburbs outside the city, as you can see..."

Fu Hongning was a little uneasy at this moment, as he was being attacked by a mysterious Mythical-level being even at the entrance to the central city.

Once they reached the western suburbs outside the city, Fu Hongning had no way of guaranteeing Zhong Yi's safety.

In case Zhongyi is attacked or captured again in the western suburbs outside the city...

Thinking of this, Fu Hongning felt a chill run through his body.

Fu Hongning simply cannot bear such a responsibility!

Zhong Yi understood the meaning in Fu Hongning's eyes.

"President Fu, you just need to lead the way."

"With Brother Sun around, you don't need to worry about safety."

Sun Yushi felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing Zhong Yi's words, realizing how much Zhong Yi valued her.

When faced with a Mythical-level enemy, Sun Yushi was confident that he could stop his opponent.

If they were to encounter an enemy of mythical rank or higher, all they would need to do is create time for Zhong Yi to activate the Instant Jade.

Now that the Star Emperor has returned to Star City, he is overseen by a powerful figure from among all nations.

Not only is it safe inside Star City, but it's also very safe outside the city.

A large area of ​​land on the outskirts of Starburst City has been bought by the Rare Insect Merchant Guild.

The Rare Insect Merchants Association has hundreds of insect breeding bases, all located in this area of ​​the western suburbs.

These insect-based beast-taming bases continuously cultivate and produce insect-based beasts, no wonder the Rare Insect Merchant Guild is able to dominate most of the insect-based beast market in Starry City.

Sun Yushi had a good relationship with Fu Hongning because he was an old acquaintance of Fu Hongning's wife, Tang Yan.

Looking at these insect-breeding animal breeding bases, I couldn't help but offer a few words of praise.

Fu Hongning did not act arrogantly in front of Zhong Yi, but spoke very sincerely.

"The Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce was established by my father."

"The Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce developed under my father's leadership for more than ten years before I took full control of it."

"I have always claimed that the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce has a history of 100 years, but in fact it has only been developing for more than 30 years."

"Before my father started the chamber of commerce, he mainly ran these insect and beast breeding bases."

"This makes the foundation of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce relatively solid among the established powers."

"But compared to those top powers that have truly developed for hundreds of years, their foundation is far weaker."

Zhong Yi listened to what Fu Hongning said and nodded secretly.

From the very first time Zhong Yi met Fu Hongning, she could tell that Fu Hongning was a very confident person.

However, as Zhongyi got to know him, she realized that while Fu Hongning was confident, he was also very clear-headed and could clearly see the shortcomings of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce.

Such talent is worth cooperating with for the long term.

"President Fu, I heard that the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce had already set up a market outside Star City several years ago."

"The Rare Insect Merchant Guild has opened branches in the other four majestic cities surrounding Star City."

"If the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce continues with its current functions, it should be able to expand into a broader market. Why insist on creating a new function?"

A chamber of commerce has limited working capital. The purchase of iron-eating insects from Zhong Yi by the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce has essentially depleted its working capital.

Zhong Yi believes this will greatly limit the rare insect merchants' ability to open markets in other cities.

Fu Hongning gave a wry smile upon hearing this.

"Lord Zhongyi, the Rare Insect Merchant Guild did indeed open branches in surrounding cities, but those cities also have forces whose main function is to cultivate insects for beast control."

"The Rare Insect Merchant Guild was able to seize the market in Star City because of its services and the wide variety of insect-type beasts it offered."

"But when we arrived in other cities, the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce was not given any opportunity to serve its customers."

"Those forces within these majestic cities whose main function is to control insects and beasts will unite to suppress the Rare Insect Merchant Guild."

"Even if the Rare Insect Merchant Guild manages to establish itself, it will be difficult for it to achieve further development in these four majestic cities."

"This made me realize that if you want to extend your influence from one powerful city to other powerful cities, it's not enough to just cultivate your functions deeply; you also need to have enough military strength and a powerful backer to deter other forces."

Fu Hongning's expression didn't change much when he said these words.

But when Fu Hongning thought about the sluggish development of the Rare Insect Merchants Association in other cities over the years, he felt a little depressed.

In order to expand its market, the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce invested a large amount of cash flow.

However, due to constant targeting, market expansion did not bring Fu Hongning much profit.

Instead, this forces Fu Hongning to pour a lot of resources into the other major cities every year.

The Rare Insect Merchant Guild in Star City has essentially reached the limit of its current functional development.

With no room for further expansion in the market for insect-based animal taming, Fu Hongning decided to create a new function for the Rare Insect Merchants Association.

Just as Fu Hongning was lost in thought, Zhong Yi suddenly asked a question.

"President Fu, I plan to start a chamber of commerce and need someone to help me manage it."

Do you have any candidates you'd like to recommend?

After hearing this, Fu Hongning pondered for a moment before asking Zhong Yi.

"Lord Zhongyi, what type of chamber of commerce do you wish to establish?"

Zhong Yi had already entered the breeding base for geomagnetic bees and was searching for the geomagnetic bees she wanted.

Upon hearing Fu Hongning's question, Zhong Yi answered directly.

"I want to start a comprehensive business association, not limited to dealing in a certain type of beast or material."

Fu Hongning really wanted to recommend his son, Fu Wei, who was quite shrewd in business.

However, Fu Wei will eventually have to take over his position, and given his current abilities, he is not qualified to manage a comprehensive chamber of commerce.

It seems that the chamber of commerce that Zhong Yi is keen to establish will not be limited to Star City, but will be established in other powerful cities.

Suddenly, Fu Hongning thought of someone.

"Lord Zhongyi, do you remember Zhou Yang, whom we met at the Senhe Hall?"

Zhou Yang!?

Zhong Yi did have some impression of Zhou Yang.

During her interactions with Zhou Yang, Zhong Yi felt a sense of warmth and comfort.

Inside the Beast Garden of the Senhe Club, Zhou Yang handled all the numerous forces present with ease.

Zhong Yi was a little curious as to why Fu Hongning would suddenly bring up Zhou Yang out of the blue.

Seeing Zhong Yi looking at him with a questioning gaze, Fu Hongning lowered his voice and said.

"Lord Zhongyi, the Senhe Guild Hall was jointly founded by several forces."

"Among them, the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce is the largest shareholder of the Senhe Club, and the Zhou family is behind the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

"Zhou Yang is just a collateral branch of the Zhou family. For a family like the Zhou family, which values ​​bloodlines, the fact that Zhou Yang was able to become the head of the Senhe Club in a powerful city is enough to demonstrate his ability."

"The Zhou family has many direct descendants and tens of thousands of collateral descendants."

"Zhou Yang's achievements within the family surpass those of many direct descendants, making many of the younger generation in the Zhou family extremely envious."

At this point, Fu Hongning paused for a moment, then continued with a somewhat wistful tone.

"Zhou Yang's father is the manager in charge of transporting valuables at the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

"Soon after, an accident occurred during transportation, causing heavy losses to the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce and affecting the holding of an auction."

"Zhou Yang's father was severely punished by the family as a result, and died in the Zhou family's ancestral hall due to internal power struggles."

"The Zhou family's situation is rather complicated, and I can't go into the specifics."

"However, after Zhou Yang's father died, Zhou Yang's mother reportedly committed suicide as well."

"The Zhou family directly parachuted a new manager into the Senhe Club in Xingmang City, not wanting Zhou Yang to continue holding an important position."

"Zhou Yang should have returned to the capital immediately to handle his parents' funeral arrangements."

"But Zhou Yang seems to still be in Star City and hasn't returned to the Zhou family."

"If you, Lord Zhongyi, do not mind getting involved in the Zhou family's feud, Zhou Yang is a good choice."

"I've had a lot of contact with Zhou Yang. If it weren't for the fact that he's a member of a collateral branch of the family, he wouldn't just be the manager of the Senhe Club."

At this point, Fu Hongning stopped talking.

Zhong Yi could hear the high regard Fu Hongning held for Zhou Yang in his voice.

Zhongyi has Zhou Yang's contact information on her phone, but she doesn't plan to contact him directly.

Instead, he planned to go back and find out what was going on before deciding whether to contact Zhou Yang.

If one is keen to build a power base, a stable channel to acquire and sell resources is extremely important.

Just then, Zhongyi saw a staff member from the cultivation base push a box with wheels on the bottom past her.

The geomagnetic bees in this box are all without stingers.

Seeing that Zhongyi's gaze had fallen on the stingless geomagnetic bees in the box, the staff member quickly stopped in his tracks.

Ever since Zhongyi entered the geomagnetic bee breeding base, Fu Hongning has been observing Zhongyi.

There are so many excellent geomagnetic bees here, yet they show no interest in these that are about to be disposed of.

"Waste" glanced sideways.

"Lord Zhongyi, these geomagnetic bees will be sent to be made into high-protein feed or live food to be fed to carnivorous insects such as fire scorpion ants and velociraptor spiders."

"Please..."

""

Before Fu Hongning could finish speaking, Zhong Yi had already walked towards the box.

He carefully examined the round, fuzzy geomagnetic bees inside the box.

There were many geomagnetic bees in the box that didn't have long stingers. Zhongyi searched for a long time and finally found one with an extra pair of antennae on its head and secreted purplish-black magnetic crystals from its abdomen.
