Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Father Zhou had considered everything very thoroughly: "You have now contracted two beasts. Whether it is the Phoenix Azure Luan or the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, they both require a lot of resources. Not to mention anything else, their food alone cannot be lacking in the slightest."

Zhou Heng nodded: "Thank you, Dad. I understand."

Father Zhou continued, "The Phoenix Azure Phoenix has broken through to the third rank. Although the third-rank mid-grade Jade Bamboo fruit and the second-rank high-grade Earth Spirit Spring water that I fed it before can still meet its growth needs, in order to make it grow as fast as possible, you should feed it fourth-rank low-grade Five-Colored Green Bamboo fruit from now on, along with third-rank mid-grade Glazed Jade Spring water, to solidify its foundation and make it easier for it to evolve into the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix in the future."

Zhou Heng subconsciously began to calculate: "One kilogram of Five-Colored Green Bamboo fruit is worth 600,000, and one liter of Flowing Jade Spring water is worth 200,000..."

Father Zhou said directly, "My good son, you don't need to worry about money! For a powerful family like ours, is money important? Money is not important at all! What's important is the power we control and the level of our beast taming! As long as we have great power and a high level, money is just a few pieces of paper, right? Which of our large aristocratic families doesn't have the right to mint coins granted by the alliance? As long as it's within a certain limit, we can print as much alliance currency as we want."

Zhou Heng quickly explained, "Dad, you misunderstood. I'm not worried about money; I'm just used to valuing things."

Mr. Zhou immediately smiled and said, "Dad misunderstood you. Dad apologizes."

Zhou Heng comforted him, "It's okay, Dad."

Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment: "My dear son, do you know why I never restrict your spending?"

Zhou Heng casually replied, "Because aristocratic families don't care about ordinary money."

Father Zhou continued, "You're right, but let me ask you, since our aristocratic family doesn't care about this money anymore, why do you think there are still thousands of companies in Xuanxiao City that are paying me dividends on time?"

Zhou Heng replied without hesitation: "Because my father is a member of the Zhou family and holds an important position, they all hope to receive your protection."

Zhou's father patiently asked, "Do you think this money will be of any use to me?"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment: "It's useful, but not essential."

Zhou's father countered, "Then why should I accept it?"

Zhou Heng speculated: "Dad may not care about money, but they can't stop sending money over. Moreover, this move can help him better control the forces below and prevent them from having any disloyal thoughts."

Mr. Zhou nodded, then asked, "Do you think they're really afraid of me?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "No, what they're afraid of is the family behind Dad."

Mr. Zhou then asked, "Do you know why the Zhou family's reputation is so strong?"

When Zhou Heng spoke of this, he seemed quite proud: "Because the Zhou family has a long history and great strength."

Mr. Zhou nodded in satisfaction: "That's right! As long as you're strong enough, plenty of people will send you money one after another. Even if you don't want to accept it, others will kneel down and beg you to accept it."

"I know what Dad is trying to say. I understood what Dad meant when I was a child: money is just an invisible shackle that we powerful families use to control those below us. No matter how much money they earn, it's just temporarily being held in our custody."

Zhou Heng remained calm: "If we want it, they'll have to hand it over obediently! And most importantly, truly valuable and rare resources don't easily flow out of the outside world. They're basically only collected by aristocratic families like ours, becoming part of our family's wealth. Unless someone possesses legendary talent, outsiders can never compare to the scions of aristocratic families."

Mr. Zhou was overjoyed: "Your mother and I have truly taught you all these years. To understand this at such a young age is truly admirable. My dear son, you are simply a born scion of a distinguished family."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Dad."

Father Zhou then instructed, "I put a thousand kilograms of Five-Colored Green Bamboo fruit and a thousand liters of Liuguang Jade Spring water into your multi-functional storage watch. Don't be stingy with it. Give Fengyi and Qingluan at least one kilogram of fruit and one liter of spring water every day."

Zhou Heng nodded: "I understand."

Father Zhou specifically said, "Your Phoenix Azure Phoenix is ​​showing signs of autonomous evolution. I suspect it's because we spared no effort in investing resources in her, which allowed her to break through the bloodline shackles within her body. Therefore, we need to continue investing resources in her."

Zhou Heng knew in his heart that this was all thanks to the Spirit Source Pearl, so he subtly reminded him: "The family should not be lacking resources, not just me. The other talented direct descendants should also have plenty of resources, but their beasts do not show any signs of autonomous evolution. I'm afraid it's not because of resources."

Zhou's father did not give up: "What you said makes sense, but as long as there is even the slightest possibility, we cannot give up. Anyway, we are not short of resources! As long as it can be converted into strength, even if there is a thousand times or ten thousand times the loss, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Heng didn't say much, but simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

Zhou's father then smiled and said, "In addition, I also put 100,000 kilograms of processed Wave Shadow Silver Fish into your multi-functional storage watch. Remember to feed the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon 1,000 kilograms every day."

Zhou Heng remembered that the race level of the Wave Shadow Silverfish was Upper Silver, and a mature Wave Shadow Silverfish could reach the third tier.

The Overturning Sea Silver Dragon is a space-type, water-type, and lightning-type beast. If it wants to evolve into the Returning Void Divine Dragon, the Wave Shadow Silver Fish is the most suitable food for it.

Because long-term consumption of the Wave Shadow Silver Fish can not only nourish the body of aquatic beasts, but more importantly, the flesh and blood of the Wave Shadow Silver Fish also contain a trace of spatial power, which is very useful to the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon.

For this reason, the Silver Fish with Wave Shadows is quite precious.

One kilogram of processed flesh and blood can sell for 70,000 yuan.

Feeding the Fuhai Silver Dragon 1,000 kilograms a day would cost 70 million yuan, 700 million yuan in 10 days, 7 billion yuan in 100 days, and 70 billion yuan in 1,000 days.

For a young beast tamer from an ordinary family, this is an astronomical figure.

However, for Zhou Heng, who came from a large and powerful family, it was nothing.

The ring he wears on his hand, symbolizing the ocean's vastness, is already priceless.

Moreover, beasts of the Overlord quality are incredibly powerful, and naturally require more resources to acquire.

If it's a regular Tier 3 beast, there's no need to spend so much on food.

Seeing Zhou Heng's stunned expression, Zhou's father raised his voice slightly: "My dear son, what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Heng came to his senses: "I was thinking that the cost of food is not much, but this is just a glimpse into the bigger picture. The evolution of the Overturning Silver Dragon will probably require a huge amount of resources."
