Within the Red Tower Building in the city center.

Before a desk on the 32nd floor.

Xiong Haohan opened his phone and saw a message from Xiong Wenwu.

Xiong Wenwu: “Zhang Yu is a good guy, taking good care of me.”

Xiong Wenwu: “If it’s convenient, please help him out, Brother Haohan.”

Xiong Haohan was a manager at Red Tower Breeding Company.

The reason he was connected to Xiong Wenwu was primarily because they both hailed from the same breeding base.

Originating from different breeding bases was a significant status marker within Red Tower Corporation.

Since most demon-kin shared the same father, being born in a particular breeding base signified who they grew up with, who they studied with, providing a natural bond for demon-kin to unite.

Further subdivisions existed: which incubation room in the breeding base, which dormitory, whether they had a junior high or high school education, whether they attended Red Tower High School, which class they were in, and which specific demon-kin race they belonged to.

Yes, although categorized as demon-kin, significant differences existed between demon-kin themselves.

These differences not only affected demon-kin internally but also impacted how humans viewed them. For example, turtle demons and toad demons were less popular than bear demons, dog demons, and cat demons. They also faced more discrimination and had a harder time succeeding. Red Tower Corporation was decreasing the breeding numbers of these types of demon-kin each year.

Through these layers of categorization, various large and small groups formed within Red Tower Corporation.

Perhaps because they were easily discriminated against in the human world, or perhaps due to a lack of supportive parents, demon-kin preferred to congregate within these groups.

Xiong Haohan and Xiong Wenwu, besides sharing the same breeding base origin, had also attended Red Tower High School, were students in the demonstration class, and belonged to the bear demon race.

This allowed Xiong Wenwu to connect with Xiong Haohan, a senior colleague, early on through alumni associations and bear demon groups.

Especially in the bear demon group, Xiong Haohan, who had become a breeding company manager after only three years of work, was an aspiration for countless bear demons, a social elite who sat in the office building watching the winds of change, with a stable income, able to repay loans on time, and freely work overtime.

But seeing Xiong Wenwu’s message, Xiong Haohan thought to himself, “Little brother, you think too highly of me.”

Looking at Zhang Yu’s profile, Xiong Haohan mused, “I’m just a small employee in the company. I can’t offer him a higher price even if I wanted to.”

“Our fertility bank, research team… they don’t just accept any trash.”

Although Xiong Haohan, becoming a company overtime machine, no longer had the energy, time, or interest to care about the high school education scene, and knew nothing about Zhang Yu, a student recently making waves in the three major high schools,

One thing was deeply ingrained in this Red Tower High School graduate’s mind.

Besides the three major high schools, others are not worthy of selling seeds.

Isn’t it a waste of paper for a student from Songyang High School to try.

But as Xiong Haohan continued to read, seeing Zhang Yu’s monthly exam scores, competition results, and various data, he was greatly astonished.

“This is from Songyang High School?”

“Can this really be from Songyang High School?”

“And Zhang Yu was this strong in his first year of high school, I wonder how much money he invested, does he still need to sell seeds?”

Xiong Haohan sighed to himself, “Sure enough, high school cultivation is a bottomless pit. As long as you want to spend money, there’s plenty of places to spend it. There’s never enough money.”

“But regardless, his talent and potential are indeed strong.”

“However, with my position, the offer I can make is limited. I’m afraid I can’t offer a price he’ll be satisfied with.”

Thinking of Xiong Wenwu’s request, Xiong Haohan used his authority to report Zhang Yu’s situation.

“This is all I can do. How much money he ultimately gets depends on his luck and ability.”

Unexpectedly, there was a response from above soon after, instructing him to arrange a meeting with Zhang Yu as soon as possible.

The meeting was scheduled for the next morning.

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Yu sat down in the conference room, Xiong Haohan rushed over.

“Hello, hello, I am Xiong Haohan.” After shaking hands with Zhang Yu, Xiong Haohan said with a friendly expression, “I need to trouble you with something.”

“It’s not that we don’t trust the test results from Songyang High School,

but we want to obtain more precise data about you, Mr. Zhang Yu, mainly your magical power and physical strength. These two things are most related to bloodline inheritance, so with precise data, we can discuss further.”

“Is that okay?”

Since Zhang Yu had come here, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Soon he completed the tests for magical power and physical strength within the company.

“Magical power 88.14, physical strength level 8.09…”

Xiong Haohan first looked at the total data for magical power and physical strength, then looked at various physical data such as blood routines and urine routines.

Xiong Haohan was secretly surprised, “This magical power and physical strength… are much stronger than his last monthly exam scores, has he improved recently?”

“He’s only going to be a sophomore, but this basic data is already at the senior level.”

“No wonder the higher-ups are paying attention to his seed, it must be related to the latest fertility bank plan.”

Xiong Haohan knew that since the rapid development of Oasis Group’s in-vitro cultivation technology, Red Tower Corporation’s original livestock and breeding markets were shrinking.

To reverse this situation, Red Tower Corporation was selling assets while starting a transformation.

Targeting customized birth market and bloodline development.

In Xiong Haohan’s eyes, Zhang Yu seemed to be a very good material, perhaps able to increase the success rate of Red Tower Corporation’s transformation.

Then Xiong Haohan began discussing the specifics of the seed transaction.

But soon after, he frowned, “You’re only selling research rights, not breeding rights?”

Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Xiong Haohan said, “Only selling research rights won’t fetch a high price. To be honest, the most I can offer is a hundred thousand or so.”

“Your talent is so great, many people would definitely be willing to breed your bloodline, there will be a lot of profit in that…”

As Xiong Haohan was trying to persuade him, Fu Ji spoke in Zhang Yu’s mind, “You absolutely must not agree to sell breeding rights. We’re just here to earn some pocket money.”

“As for breeding bloodlines, although you can earn a lot now, if you climb to the upper levels of Kunxu in the future, bloodlines can be a bit of a hassle. The karma involved can be exploited by opponents, and someone might even use bloodlines to cast spells.”

“In the long term, it’s best not to have descendants for now.”

Zhang Yu had long heard Fu Ji’s reminder and didn’t budge in the face of Xiong Haohan’s persuasion.

Just as Xiong Haohan was organizing his words, thinking about how to continue talking to Zhang Yu, a phone call came.

Zhang Yu saw Xiong Haohan stiffen up as he answered the phone, then nod and bow repeatedly, saying “yes, yes, yes” non-stop, and finally hang up the phone with a respectful expression.

Then Xiong Haohan looked at Zhang Yu with surprise and said, “A big shot is very interested in you and wants to talk to you in person.”

Under Xiong Haohan’s guidance, Zhang Yu followed him to the 333rd floor of the Red Tower Building and stopped in front of a huge golden door.

Xiong Haohan swallowed, looking at the door with a mixture of longing and fear, and said, “Go in, I’m not authorized to enter. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Zhang Yu pushed open the door and stepped in.

What he saw first after entering was something like an aquarium underwater tunnel.

Above was a giant artificial seawater pool that stretched as far as the eye could see, with various marine creatures swimming in it, some Zhang Yu recognized and some he didn’t.

He even saw many demon fish with dragon scales and horns.

Zhang Yu walked forward for dozens of meters, finally arriving at a huge office.

Behind the office, a whale was slowly swimming in the seawater behind a glass wall.

A figure over three meters tall was facing away from Zhang Yu, watching the whale swimming and said, “The office environment here is not bad, right?”

“After making major decisions, I like to come here to feel the tranquility of the ocean.”

The person turned around, revealing a beautiful face that was both masculine and feminine.

Several small, dense dragon scales on his face not only didn’t detract from his beauty, but added a mysterious aura like decorations.

A pair of dragon horns on his forehead exuded an aura of dominance, causing Zhang Yu to unconsciously hold his breath.

Although this ‘Dragonkin’ was three meters tall, he wasn’t as bulky as Song Hailong and Zhao Tianxing, but closer to a normal human build. He casually wore a black and gold robe, exuding an aura of elegance and nobility.

At this moment, the ‘Dragonkin’ was smiling at Zhang Yu and slowly said, “Zhang Yu, I like you. Are you interested in being my adopted son?”

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned and said in surprise, “Are you… the Black Dragon Director from Red Tower High School, the father of those demon-kin?”

Zhang Yu thought to himself that this was trouble. He didn’t expect that selling seeds would attract the attention of such a big shot.

The Dragon Director looked at Zhang Yu as if he were looking at a high-quality seed that could certainly create considerable profits in Red Tower Corporation’s future transformation plan.

In fact, Red Tower’s transformation was not only due to the influence of the Oasis Group, but also due to the directors’ judgments about the future.

In the eyes of this Dragon Director, the major clans of Kunxu’s First Layer had taken control of all positions through years of development, and their monopoly over the entire Kunxu’s First Layer had penetrated into all aspects.

“In the future world, there is no place for commoners, or rather, the commoners of the future… will only come from the impoverished branches of powerful clans.”

“The various local clans are the biggest market.”

“As the clans monopolize the market and commoners gradually withdraw from the competition, the next step will be battles between clans.”

“At this time… the immortal cultivation potential of future generations is extremely important.”

“The clans in various places will pay more and more attention to bloodline modification, reproduction, and talent enhancement of future generations.”

“I heard that some clans in Xiandu have already used immortality… to transform the bloodlines of their descendants.”
