You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 164 - 164 136 Breeding Base Thanks to 'Your Dad Laughs Cheerfully' for the reward leader 2

164: Chapter 136 Breeding Base (Thanks to ‘Your Dad Laughs Cheerfully’ for the reward leader 2) 164: Chapter 136 Breeding Base (Thanks to ‘Your Dad Laughs Cheerfully’ for the reward leader 2) From the outside, this place looks like a gigantic factory, completely isolated both internally and externally.

If tourists want to visit, they have to spend 200 bucks to buy a ticket.

Bai Zhenzhen inwardly cursed, “Damn it…

Could it be Xiong Wenwu aimed to boost his sales performance, that’s why he deliberately set the meeting place here?”

Though displeased at heart, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen still spent 400 to buy two tickets and walked into the breeding base.

As soon as they entered, the feeling of being thoroughly refreshed and cleansed with every breath they had in the protected area vanished completely.

Instead, it was replaced by dry, bitter air.

Zhang Yu curiously asked, “Is the breeding base not connected to the protected area’s air?

Is this really the air we breathe daily?”

Bai Zhenzhen lamented inwardly, “The Demon Beasts in the protected area probably haven’t been able to take a breath of the air their ancestors used to breathe.”

At that moment, a robust voice rang out, “Long time no see, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen.”

Zhang Yu turned to see a tall figure already waiting for them; it was Xiong Wenwu from Red Tower High School.

Seeing the two of them looking over, Xiong Wenwu said, “Let’s talk as we tour, can’t waste the ticket money after all.”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen followed him to the first stop of the breeding base — the hatching chamber.

On both sides of the corridor, in rows of transparent rooms, there were various types of Demon Beasts, all incubating things resembling dragon eggs underneath them.

However, about half of these rooms seemed to be vacant, not in use.

“So, this is a breeding base for Demon Beasts.”

Bai Zhenzhen viewed the various Demon Beasts in the hatching chamber as if she were at a zoo, suddenly pointing at a bear, she laughed, “Haha, Xiong Wenwu, doesn’t that bear look like you before the transformation?”

Xiong Wenwu glanced at Hatch Chamber No.

33, where a large demon bear was sprawled on the ground, snoring while asleep.

Xiong Wenwu calmly replied, “That’s my mother.”

“Huh?” Bai Zhenzhen was dumbfounded.

Xiong Wenwu looked at the two and said, “The breeding base finds suitable mothers among the Demon Beasts, then implants the true dragon bloodline, producing offspring containing Dragon Clan blood.”

“I heard they used to use incubators directly, but later the company decided Demon Beast mothers were cheaper, and the base’s output didn’t need to be high, so they found us a real mother.”

“After all, there are plenty of Demon Beasts in the protected area, easy to catch.”

Xiong Wenwu looked at the Demon Beast in the hatching chamber and calmly said, “Although she is my mother, she’s just a witless Demon Beast and wouldn’t recognize me now.”

Experiencing such a conversation for the first time, Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu were both stupefied, not knowing what to say.

In silence, the three walked to the newborn section.

In each incubator were various shaped demon descendant infants.

Some were sound asleep, others were wide-eyed and looking out, while some had tubes inserted into their backs, crying loudly.

Xiong Wenwu calmly said, “These infants will continuously receive various drug injections, those unable to withstand the drugs will be eliminated…”

Next was the learning room; demon descendant infants were diligently watching screens, playing Red Tower Pasture’s introductory training for instructors, teaching them how to cherish the company like family.

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed, “They even have an instructional training version for infants?”

Zhang Yu slightly nodded, thinking how insane Red Tower Pasture was.

Bai Zhenzhen continued, “They have a job from birth?

Many would envy such treatment, right?”

Xiong Wenwu proudly said, “The company provides a job for every demon descendant born in the breeding base, subjected to employment training from a young age, instilling company spirit.”

“Because of this, every year ordinary people come to protest, wanting to send their kids to the breeding base to study with us.”

Walking a few more steps forward, they saw a group of demon descendant infants doing exercises while shouting slogans: ‘Move forward hand in hand, create the future together, fatherly love illuminates you and me.’

In front of them was an image of a Black Dragon, seemingly the director of Red Tower High School.

All along the way, they saw the demon descendants getting older; from introductory training to general education, through multiple exams and divisions, more were assigned to work to repay breeding debts, leaving fewer and fewer to continue their studies.

Xiong Wenwu continued, “Originally, a large number of demon descendants could be produced here each year.

They either studied hard, got into university, and became talents of Red Tower Pasture.”

“Or they were directly assigned to work at the company, working diligently as Red Tower Pasture’s foundation.”

“But ever since introducing Oasis Group’s new technology, the company decided to change its business direction, with many pastures and factories being acquired by Oasis Group.

It’s likely this breeding base will be phased out, too.”

Xiong Wenwu knew that for those demon descendants who had lived and worked here, leaving Red Tower was scarier than going to work in a factory.

However, as a mere first-year student, he couldn’t change anything.

All he could do was find ways to take care of those he cared about.

As they walked and stopped, the three reached the finished products room.

In the rooms along the hallway, seventeen-year-old demon descendants were studying at their desks.

Around their necks were shock collars to keep them awake and alleviate fatigue.

The chains on their feet connected to the desks represented a determination to study wherever they went.

The feeders in front of them had automatic feeding functions, automatically feeding them upon completing tasks as required.

Xiong Wenwu, watching this scene, had a hint of nostalgia on his face, saying, “This is where they study the general curriculum for high school, preparing for the breeding base’s middle school graduation exams.”

“After all, whether they can enter high school next year determines if they’ll end up studying or working, so everyone studies very earnestly.”

Zhang Yu silently cursed in his heart…

Damn, not studying here would get you starved to death, huh?

Reflecting on all the sights and sounds after entering the protected area, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but lament inwardly, “This company really…

squeezes them dry and then stomps on them with their shoe soles.”

As they proceeded, Xiong Wenwu talked about the Spirit Vein.

“In the breeding base’s hatching chamber, to ensure the infants and true dragon bloodline grow, a Spirit Vein pipeline is introduced with air and high-concentration spirit machine from the Spirit Vein.”

“But only the hatching chamber has this condition; you need someone to sneak you in.”

Bai Zhenzhen curiously asked, “Won’t we get caught?”

Xiong Wenwu shook his head, “Most of the breeding base has been automated; there’s only one person in charge.

As long as that person agrees, sneaking some Spirit Vein won’t be noticed.”

Zhang Yu pointed at the meter on him and asked, “What about this?”

Xiong Wenwu replied, “The breeding base is on the edge of the protected area.

There’s an external material transport channel.

I’ve cleared the hurdles and confirmed there’s no issue.

Next time, I’ll take you through that channel directly.”

It was only then that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen noticed Xiong Wenwu seemed not to have any meter on him.

Xiong Wenwu reminded, “But going in through that channel, you can only stay in the breeding base.

Don’t go out; there are too many monitoring methods in the protected area.

You’ll definitely get caught.”

Zhang Yu asked, “And what’s the price?”

Xiong Wenwu said, “8000 per hour.”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged a glance, feeling that the price wasn’t expensive.

Considering the prices in the outside protected area, with their physical conditions, just breathing would cost thousands an hour, not to mention it was air and dense spirit machine from the Spirit Vein.

Bai Zhenzhen asked again, “Why choose to trade with us?”

“I asked around, and you two are pretty broke, right?” Xiong Wenwu chuckled, “I don’t trust people with too much money.

And with you guys being so broke yet trying to get Spirit Vein and finding me to inquire about it, you two were my only choice…”

Xiong Wenwu continued, “Now there’s only one last problem; the sole employee at this breeding base might disagree with this deal.”

“I’ll take you to meet her later.”

“So, I need you to work with me to negotiate with her.”

“Just go along with my plan…”

Upon hearing Xiong Wenwu’s plan, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s faces showed a peculiar expression.

Arriving at the final souvenir sales area, aside from induction training manuals, the breeding base’s special exam papers, same-style shock collars, and various demon descendant dolls, Zhang Yu’s eyes scanned over various beast bones, blood, and Demon Beast Meat.

Although Demon Beasts have always been regarded as animals, different from demon descendants, seeing these things here still made Zhang Yu uncomfortable.

At the souvenir counter, Xiong Wenwu greeted with a smile, “Sis, I’m here to see you.”

It was the first time Zhang Yu saw such a happy smile on Xiong Wenwu’s typically brutish face.

But seeing the panda behind the counter, Zhang Yu looked puzzled.

Yet, thinking about how Red Tower High School’s demon descendants always called each other brother and sister, it didn’t seem strange.

Xiong Wenwu introduced Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, “This is my sister An An.

If it weren’t for her helping me recognize words when I was little, I might’ve been eliminated already.”

“She has some opportunities for Spirit Vein we can introduce to you.”

However, the panda behind the counter seemed not to agree with what Xiong Wenwu said.

She raised her arms, looking angry, and said, “Xiong Wenwu!

What are you doing!

I told you I won’t sell out the company’s interests!”

Hearing this, Xiong Wenwu sighed inwardly, showing a hint of helplessness on his face.
