Beast Taming: I have a simplified system

Yi Tian answered decisively.

"No."

How could such a kind and good-natured young man offend anyone?

Mu Yan frowned.

"That's a bit strange."

Seeing this, Yi Tian asked curiously.

"What happened?"

Mu Yan replied.

"You know my family is in the intelligence business."

"Because I am the future heir of the family, I have also gained some authority."

"I previously gave orders to pay special attention to all intelligence related to you."

"In just the last few days, there have suddenly been dozens of customers who want to buy your information."

Yi Tian raised an eyebrow.

Mu Yan continued.

"So I was wondering if you've offended some enemy."

He glanced at Yi Tian again and smiled.

"But don't worry, the information I sell is all very superficial."

"If someone tries to use this intelligence to assess your capabilities before taking action, hehe."

Yi Tian stared at Mu Yan with a strange look in his eyes.

"Isn't this a violation of professional ethics?"

Mu Yan put his hands on his hips and said.

"Of course it counts."

"However, when we do business, we inherently have our own stance."

"We can't possibly expect everyone to know something about the Mu family's private affairs just because they want to know, can we?"

"And you, you can be considered half a member of the Mu family now."

Yi Tian grunted, "When did I become half a member of the Mu family?"

However, now is clearly not the time to discuss this.

Yi Tian guessed.

"Could it be because I recently became the person in charge of Dragon Claw that I'm being investigated?"

Mu Yan said.

"If it's because of this, there might be a few people who are interested in you and want to buy information, but if it's dozens of people, that's a bit unreasonable."

"My family's intelligence doesn't come cheap."

Yi Tian stroked his chin, deep in thought.

If it's just a faction that's interested in themselves.

That means you only need to buy information once to circulate it internally.

So, you mean there are dozens of forces interested in you at the same time?

Could it be because my potential is too great?

This has attracted the attention of foreign powers.

But this presents another problem.

For those small countries, investigating themselves is meaningless.

They neither wanted to nor dared to make a move against the genius of the Dragon Kingdom.

If it were a major power, it would be impossible to gather dozens of them.

There are a total of ten superpowers in the world, and excluding China, there are nine left.

Yi Tian shook his head, unable to think of a good or bad solution.

Let's just consider it a problem stemming from being too outstanding.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"You should also be careful."

After saying this, Mu Yan waved and prepared to leave.

Yi Tian nodded.

"Okay, got it."

That night.

Yi Tian had just finished eating.

Gong Xuan brought Zhang Wei to visit.

Both of them looked exhausted.

Yi Tian led the two to sit on the sofa and made them a cup of tea.

"Xiao Gong, Wei Ge, what's up with this sudden visit?"

Zhang Wei nodded.

"Xiao Gong and I have caught quite a few rats these past few days."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his beast-taming space.

He handed it to Yi Tian.

"This is the list of those rats."

"Do you see anyone you know?"

Yi Tian raised an eyebrow and took it.

The paper was densely filled with hundreds of names.

Good heavens, the Dragon Kingdom is practically riddled with holes!

But I imagine other countries aren't much better off.

I don't know what these people's purpose is.

He glanced through it briefly, then looked up.

"There's no one I know inside."

"However, one of them recently contacted me via private message."

Yi Tian stood up and paced back and forth.

"Seeing this list, I understand why he came to me."

The name Chen Pengyu was prominently featured on the list.

It seems he wasn't looking for himself, but rather for the consciousness of the scientist who had already been destroyed.

Presumably, the two made some kind of agreement many years ago.

Gong Xuan nodded.

"That's exactly why we came to you."

"We arrested a large number of people."

"However, because these people's consciousness is under some kind of shackle, we cannot break through it for the time being."

"So the interrogation did not go smoothly."

"We've only obtained very little intelligence so far."

"However, we can roughly determine that these people should come from different eras and different forces."

"They come from different eras and different factions?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Tian couldn't help but interrupt.

How many different factions are there?

Gong Xuan frowned.

"At least more than a hundred."

"They range from tens of thousands of years to hundreds of thousands of years ago."

Yi Tian hissed.

Could it be that they were the ones who bought our intelligence before?

Gong Xuan continued.

"We've also deduced some things."

"That is, these forces are all connected to the person who wants to possess you."

"You should now have some things they need."

Yi Tian was astonished.

Is that really such a coincidence?

Hundreds of factions, so many people.

Unfortunately, the one who possessed their body was someone who had connections with all of them.

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Pengyu is just a scapegoat."

"They deliberately abandoned it in order to get in touch with you."

"Moreover, they are already speculating whether you were actually not possessed."

Yi Tian had a headache, and said again.

"Although I don't know what they want."

"But everything I obtained from the Mechanical Era, I handed over!"

Gong Xuan nodded.

"I know, we are also investigating whether there is anything special in the batch of items you handed over."

"What I want to say is that you need to be careful from now on. Chen Pengyu is very likely just the beginning."

"They might not give up so easily until they've probed through you and figured out what they want to know."

Yi Tian let out a sigh of relief.

"I see."

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it.

He asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, how come those ancient consciousnesses have never been discovered before?"

"Our modern beast-taming civilization isn't short-lived, is it?"

Gong Xuan rubbed her temples.

"The people on the list I just gave you are all people who have frequently traveled outside the Source Realm in the last ten years."

"In other words, most of those ancient consciousnesses have only awakened in the last ten years."

"When there are too many people who try to possess another's body, they will naturally slip up. In fact, before you reported it, the two divine beasts already had some suspicions."

"The information you reported only confirmed this conjecture."

Yi Tian frowned.

Something's not right.

"According to you, these consciousnesses come from different eras, so how could they all awaken in batches precisely within this decade?"

"Is something about to happen to the world?"

Gong Xuan shrugged.

"I don't know about that, but the two divine beasts speculate that it might be related to the soon-to-be-opened Land of Human Sages."

"But it's still just a guess."
