My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

It's nothing more than Tianyan Group itself, or those so-called "stakeholders" instigated by Tianyan Group behind the scenes.

I just compared it to a goose, and he's actually using this kind of tactic, isn't he?

Xia Yu's words marked the complete breakdown of negotiations between the two sides.

Although from the very beginning, there was no possibility of success.

Before Zhou Wenda could adjust his expression and make his next move, something even more unexpected happened.

The old king, who had been sitting silently in the folding chair at the back, moved.

He stood up, took a step forward, and naturally positioned himself slightly behind and to the side of Xia Yu.

On the other end of the video call, Zhou Wenda's eyelid twitched.

Sima forced a smile onto his previously gloomy face and said respectfully, "Old Master Wang, I didn't expect to see you here."

This is blatant lying.

There was that huge Lan Yi Guang fish hanging there on the exhibition stand just now.

Everyone knew that Wang Linyan was standing behind Xia Yu.

But these kinds of polite words still need to be said.

He could pretend he didn't see Wang Linyan just now because Wang Linyan didn't show himself, so he could justifiably "not know".

But now Wang Linyan was standing behind Xia Yu.

If you pretend not to see it, that would be disrespectful to this old superstar.

Although he has stepped down from the throne of a superstar for many years.

However, as the leader of the Donglin Dojo, Wang Linyan is one of the top figures in Shanghai in terms of both strength and prestige.

Zhou Wenda can put on airs in front of Xia Yu.

But he dared not do so in front of Wang Linyan.

Zhou Wenda's mind raced at that moment.

Using Lanyi Guangyu to support the press conference is a completely different concept from supporting Xia Yu.

Judging from Wang Linyan's attitude... could it be that Donglin Dojo is going to cooperate with Miaomiao Pet House?

Wang Linyan didn't even glance at Zhou Wenda on the screen. He just looked down at Xia Yu and said with a smile, "Xia Yu, are you going back to the Donglin Dojo for dinner tonight?"

Xia Yu naturally understood and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go back after we're done here. I'm a little hungry anyway, I haven't eaten anything all morning."

Wang Linyan stroked his beard and smiled, "Let Xiaoxi cook for us today as a celebration. Her fish soup is very delicious, you must try it. By the way, is there anything else you want to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it in advance, don't be shy with this old man."

The old man and the young man started chatting right in front of Zhou Wenda on the other end of the video call.

Having not been ignored for a long time, he dared not get angry and could only force a smile.

He awkwardly interjected, "Yeah, what do you want to eat?"

Wang Linyan then glanced at the screen sideways, as if he had just noticed that there was a living person on it.

"What? Mr. Zhou also wants to come to Donglin Dojo for a meal? Should I prepare a couple of bottles of good wine for you?"

Zhou Wenda immediately understood the true meaning behind Wang Linyan's words and quickly said, "No, no, Grandpa, you and Manager Xia can eat. I won't disturb you any longer, Director Chen!"

Chen Zheng, who was called out, immediately understood and quickly turned off the video call on the Spirit Vision Machine.

He composed himself and bowed to Xia Yu and Wang Linyan.

"Since Manager Xia currently has no intention of cooperating, we certainly respect your decision. If there is any need in the future, Tianyan Group is always welcome. I will not disturb you any longer."

Chen Zheng put the Spirit Vision Device back into his Beast Taming Space, nodded to the two of them, and then turned and quickly left.

The backstage area quieted down again.

Wang Linyan glanced in the direction Chen Zheng had left and let out a very soft snort.

"The people from Tianyan Group still use the same old methods."

Xia Yu sat down, leaned back in his chair, and chuckled.

“Old man, you really startled them when you stood there.”

Am I standing here?

Wang Linyan chuckled, "I was just tired of sitting, so I got up to stretch my muscles and also to ask what you're having for dinner."

The old man and the young boy looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Chapter 81 Wang Linyan: Aren't you going a bit too far? (3.7k views, please vote!!)

"But that guy's already made some tough statements, what are your plans?"

Wang Linyan quipped, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential."

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head.

Wang Linyan raised an eyebrow, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Or do you think it won't take thirty years? You're pretty arrogant, I like it."

Xia Yu shook his head again and said, "No, I didn't take them to heart at all."

Wang Linyan: "......"

He thought his ideas were extreme enough.

Who would have thought that compared to Xia Yu's true thoughts, they were still too conservative.

What is the concept of Tianyan Group?

Originating from the United Alliance, and deeply rooted in the field of beast breeding for a century, it is an undisputed business leader worldwide.

Let alone overturning it, how difficult would it be to even reach a level comparable to it?

Norsene Bio from the Europa Union, Vitas Global from the Mediterranean Union, and Sogo Co., Ltd. from Sakurajima, Japan.

The combined market share of these three companies is barely enough to rival that of Tianyan Group.

But Xia Yu in front of him actually said that he didn't care about Tianyan Group at all.

Isn't this a bit too extreme...?

Seeing the old man's strange look, Xia Yu quickly explained, "What I mean is, Tianyan Group and I are not even in the same league."

He shrugged and said, "I just run a small workshop. I don't need to compete with those behemoths."

This statement is half true and half false.

It's true that we don't need to compete with Tianyan Group.

The real reason is... Tianyan Group simply cannot replicate what he pulled out!

Xia Yu actually doesn't have many cards left in his hand.

Energy cubes and move learning machines, that's all.

Ultimately, it's nothing more than an extension of the existing system of Beast Taming World.

What about the items that haven't been drawn from the system's gacha pool yet?

A variety of Pokémon world items, battle systems such as Mega Evolution and Dynamax, fossil revival devices...

It's fair to say that Xia Yu has yet to reveal anything that could truly transform the underlying training and combat system of the Beast Taming World.

This is also the real reason why Xia Yu doesn't take Tianyan Group seriously.

Underhanded tactics in business?

That only works if the two are in competition.

Miaomiao Pet House and Tianyan Group are currently not on the same level at all.

But the future is not on the same dimension either.

However, on the other hand, Zhou Wenda was right about one thing.

In this world, you need influence and connections.

You can't achieve anything by going it alone.

Miaomiao Pet House needs a partner.

Moreover, this partner's requirements are quite high.

The alliance needs to have strong enough connections to be unafraid of Tianyan Group's underhanded tactics.

Sufficient cash flow is also necessary; otherwise, if you contribute core technologies, he will have to give something in return, right?

By the way, it's best if it's also a newcomer to the field of beast breeding, to ensure that Miaomiao Pet House can gain enough influence...

As Xia Yu was thinking this, he suddenly realized something.

If we use these criteria as a guide, wouldn't Old Master Wang's Donglin Temple be the perfect partner?

Thinking this, Xia Yu couldn't help but turn to look at Wang Linyan beside him.

But then he saw the old fox looking at him with a chuckle.

"Young man Xia, how about cooperating with our Donglin Dojo?"

As is well known, Wang Linyan has held the position of Heavenly King of the Eastern Empire for many years.

While it's not as exaggerated as "even a superstar has to offer a toast at a dinner party regardless of rank."

But when it comes to interpersonal relationships, the old man is still incredibly adept.

Since it's a collaboration, there has to be a leader and a supporter.

The party that initiates the collaboration is undoubtedly the one who needs the other party more.

Wang Linyan, as the head of the Donglin Dojo, took the initiative to extend the invitation, which undoubtedly gave Xia Yu a great deal of face and respect.

Since things have come to this point, what else can Xia Yu say?
