You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

"Zhao Zhongcheng, I, Zhuang Zhenyu, just don't understand!"

"Three years ago, your beast was injured. It was only through great hardship, risking my life to retrieve the spirit rune from a foreign land, that I was able to save it!"

"The Five Elements Wolves of your Five Elements Wolf Legion were personally researched and developed by me. It was thanks to the Five Elements Wolves that your legion was able to withstand wave after wave of sea monster attacks. It was also thanks to the achievements of the Five Elements Wolf Legion that you were able to sit in the position of commander of the Eastern Military Region!"

"Now I, Zhuang Zhenyu, am asking you for a small favor, and you're just making excuses. Is it that you can't do it, or that you're unwilling?"

Zhuang Zhenyu's powerful roar came through the microphone in Zhao Zhongcheng's hand.

Zhao Zhongcheng looked helpless and sighed.

Zhuang Zhenyu's tone suddenly changed, becoming low, hoarse, and sorrowful.

"I guess I'm getting old."

"I'm so old and about to die, I'm of no use to you anymore. I won't even do you a small favor or a little chores."

"Fine, fine. After hanging up the phone, just pretend that I, Zhuang Zhenyu, have never known you, Zhao Zhongcheng, never helped you raise or treat your beasts, and have absolutely no connection with the famous Five Elements Wolf Legion that guards the Wanli Seawall."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhongcheng could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He paused for two seconds, then said respectfully, "Elder Zhuang, as you know, everyone in the Five Elements Wolf Legion and I regard you as our second parent. Without the Five Elements Wolf you developed, there would be no Five Elements Wolf Legion. We couldn't withstand the sea monster disasters of the 1980s and 1990s. Without you, I wouldn't have the strength I have today, and I wouldn't be able to sit in the position of the Legion Commander."

"But the small favor you asked me to do is really not a small favor."

"I won't mention that the 2,000-acre area near the military region, by the sea, and with a gold-grade spirit stone vein underground, will be allocated to Jiang Fan as a training base, and that we'll help him with the registration of informal trainers."

"Mr. Zhuang, this is truly no small favor!"

Zhao Zhongcheng had no way to express his bitterness.

Located near the military region, with a gold-grade spirit stone vein underground, covering an area of ​​2,000 acres, the coastal location and resolving one's identity seem irrelevant.

Each of these three matters, taken individually, is not a trivial matter.

If the caller wasn't Zhuang Zhenyu, he would tell them to make an appointment at a psychiatric clinic, and he would cover the cost.

"yes."

"In your eyes, Commander Zhao, every little thing is a big thing, and every small favor is a big favor."

Zhuang Zhenyu's voice became even hoarser, and his tone even more forlorn.

The image of Zhuang Zhenyu, with his hunched back and white hair, seemed to appear before Zhao Zhongcheng's eyes.

"Mr. Zhuang, at most I can allocate a 2,000-mu area near the sea for him to use as a breeding base."

"The fact that there are spirit stone veins underground and that it's close to the military region makes it absolutely impossible."

"If it were you, Elder Zhuang, asking for it and wanting to use it, I could make the decision without hesitation, and no one else would have any objections. But Jiang Fan is just a freshman, not even an informal trainer yet. A 2,000-acre training base is already my limit!"

"You want your apprentice's base near the military region so that the military region can help in the event of a sea monster disaster or an alien invasion. I can promise that if a sea monster disaster or an alien invasion occurs, I will notify your apprentice immediately. I cannot guarantee the base's safety, but I am certain that your apprentice will not die before I do."

"Now that I've said all this, I hope you can understand my good intentions and the difficulties I'm facing."

"I, Zhao Zhongcheng, am the military commander, a military commander who has received your favor, but before that, I was the military commander of the Great Xia Kingdom."

After Zhao Zhongcheng finished speaking in a strong and resounding voice, he fell silent.

This is his limit.

Although Zhuang Zhenyu has provided crucial assistance to the Eastern Military Region and himself, and has made irreplaceable contributions to the development of the Great Xia Kingdom, the territory near the Eastern Military Region belongs to the entire Eastern Military Region and the Great Xia Kingdom.

If Zhuang Zhenyu needs it, it can be given.

Without saying a word, Zhao Zhongcheng immediately went through the procedures and allocated the land to Zhuang Zhenyu.

Because Zhuang Zhenyu is qualified.

But rather.

Zhuang Zhenyu wasn't doing it for himself, but for his apprentice.

Zhuang Zhenyu, on the other end of the microphone, remained calm.

he knows.

Two thousand acres is really the limit.

But it's still not enough.

After thinking for a moment.

Zhuang Zhenyu spoke again.

"Just as I said, there's a gold-grade mineral vein underground near the military region, and two thousand acres of land by the sea."

"Afterwards, I'll have Jiang Fan help you breed and evolve the Five Elements Wolves. If you're not satisfied by then, I'll evolve them myself. How about that?"

Zhao Zhongcheng originally wanted to refuse.

What a joke! I've made it so clear, why are you still so stubborn, Mr. Zhuang?

But after listening to Zhuang Zhenyu's words...

Zhao Zhongcheng took a deep breath and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Old Zhuang, you've really made a deal that's hard to refuse."

"Alright, I, Zhao Zhongcheng, on behalf of the Eastern Military Region, agree, but only on the condition that he wins the election."

Zhuang Zhenyu said coldly, "Heh, now you're agreeing so readily. You won't act until you see the benefits."

"hey-hey."

Zhao Zhongcheng paid no attention to Zhuang Zhenyu's sarcastic remarks.

After the Five Elements Wolf evolves again, its already formidable strength will reach an even higher level.

This will further reduce casualties in the face of recurring marine monster disasters and potential alien invasions.

As for letting Jiang Fan cultivate it?

Zhao Zhongcheng thought it was impossible; in the end, Zhuang Zhenyu would definitely be the one to handle it.

He had previously refused because the nature of the matter was very close to favoritism and corruption.

However, with Zhuang Zhenyu's guarantee of cultivating the Five Elements Wolves, the nature of this matter becomes a mutually beneficial transaction.

Even if this matter reaches the level of lawmakers, no lawmaker will object.

The two confirmed the time and other details before hanging up the phone.

"etc!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhongcheng suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.

He quickly picked up the landline on the table and made a call to find out who had contracted the wolf-like beasts that Jiang Fan had bred.
