If Mo Qingchen really messes this up, it’ll be a loss for the entire Yanhuang Academy, and even for the whole Empire!

However, this thing belongs to Mo Qingchen, and he has the freedom to dispose of it.

To prevent this rascal from ruining such a treasure, Dean Long’s eyes gleamed with an idea on how to give him an advantage.

"Mo boy, from now on, all the expenses for the Elemental Ancient Tree King will be covered by Yanhuang Academy.

When this ancient tree enters its mature stage, we will take responsibility for propagating more trees, while this original tree will still belong to you.

To this end, the academy will provide you with compensation. I have two options here, choose one.

An S-level flying Six-winged Purple Centipede juvenile, or the Plane Trading Device, choose one of the two."

The S-level flying Six-winged Purple Centipede juvenile is something that’s been newly cultivated, and there are only four now.

However, it’s based on the coordinates Mo Qingchen provided that the academy caught the mother specimen.

Therefore, giving Mo Qingchen a juvenile of this thing is no problem.

As for the Plane Trading Device, although its quality is extremely high and its value surpasses that of the S-level Guardian Beast juvenile,

it is actually a superfluous item, neither edible nor discardable.

At least, this thing has been in the Yanhuang Academy’s laboratory for several years, and has never successfully traded for a treasure with creatures from other planes, only some useless junk.

Yet Dean Long knows that Mo Qingchen has long been drooling over this treasure, as well as the Plane Elevator.

It’s a pity that the last time Mo Qingchen used the Plane Trading Device to trade with other plane creatures, it’s unknown whether he obtained any treasures.

He did a great job keeping it secret; all the data in the lab was cleaned up, and even the digital guardian beasts of Yanhuang Academy couldn’t recover it.

This indicates that Mo Qingchen used the Plane Trading Device to trade with an existence from another plane, obtaining some useful things he didn’t want others to know about, which is why he cleared all monitoring data from the lab.

"No problem, then I choose the Plane Trading Device!"

It’s rare for Dean Long to be so straightforward, moreover, Mo Qingchen already gave up contracting the Elemental Ancient Tree King when he visited the Tom and Jerry world.

So, this move can be considered as getting something for nothing.

"Mo boy, since you’ve benefited, you must take good care of this little sapling."

Dean Qin gently stroked the ancient tree, his expression growing more serious.

"Of course, as long as the money is in place, Grey Wolf will definitely concoct the most suitable and nutritious growth agent to make this sapling flourish with vitality."

For this sapling, the previous experimental base spent a hefty amount.

The pipes sold beneath its roots, and the nutrient solution specially formulated by Grey Wolf, none of it is cheap.

The most important of all is the Five Elements Attribute nutrient solution, which consumes five types of different attribute energy stones in one go.

And for the Elemental Ancient Tree King to absorb, it requires more than just low-tier materials; even middle-tier quality energy stones are the minimum.

When this ancient tree grows to Tier Four, middle-tier quality energy stones will likely be insufficient, necessitating a switch to high-tier quality energy stones, and then the expenses will multiply geometrically.

But now, with Yanhuang Academy taking the heat, he can naturally save a large amount of expenses.

This money can then be spent on lab renovations and purchasing more advanced equipment, can’t it?

Now cooperating with the Empire, many high-tech creations hidden within the empire are accessible through the military line.

After all, Grey Wolf is only one; it wouldn’t do to expect him to create every advanced device by himself, right?

How much time would that waste?

"Mo boy, once Grey Wolf finishes with the production line matters, have him come work at the research institute; there are a few projects we’d like him to assist with."

Dean Qin is utterly shameless about it.

Regarding Grey Wolf’s scientific prowess, quite a few of the old undead in the research institute eye him with envy, wanting to invite him over for help.

"No way! Grey Wolf has more important research, like a more advanced Super Soldier Serum, as for your research projects, you should manage them on your own."

Letting Grey Wolf labor for others, impossible!

This was Mo Qingchen’s ultimate labor choice initially, for Grey Wolf, he even brought over the other party’s wife, and they’re about to have pups soon.

And this self-improving Wolf King is devotedly working hard for their team.

How could such a diligent and self-motivated Wolf King be given away to labor for others?

"Old Qin, don’t set your eyes on Grey Wolf, this boy won’t agree."

Dean Long also wanted to get Grey Wolf but reconsidered after seeing what this Wolf King produced.

Compared to their research, it’s obvious this Wolf King’s work is more advanced and more beneficial to the entire Empire and humanity.

"Forget it; compared to what Grey Wolf is researching, our old guys’ projects really are a bit lacking." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Dean Qin sighed and no longer insisted.

"Mo boy, there’s something I need to tell you, though I don’t know if you’re still interested in taking a look."
