Su Bai didn’t really care about the grudges and conflicts among these big families. So, Roger hadn’t directly told Su Bai about it.

At that moment, Su Bai was focused on the person behind him, Gong Haohao.

Gong Haohao scratched his head with a hint of shyness.

Su Bail s mouth twitched and sighed, ‘When I was establishing the base, this guy had caused some trouble once. It seemed like he wasn’t just coming here idly this time.’

Just as Olive came out with some blueprints to ask Su Bai about specific details, she saw a silver-haired young man sitting on the sofa, she froze momentarily and gulped hard.

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding something.

The young man on the sofa casually picked up the tea on the table and sipped it as if he hadn’t noticed anything.

Olive quickly regained her senses and approached Su Bai, “Boss, can we use these materials for this blueprint?”

At the corner of the blueprint, Olive listed the materials used and the effect after assembly.

Su Bai nodded and said, “Not bad, but let’s make a slight modification.”

On the blueprint, Su Bai changed one set of materials to another and added, “Although they’re offering a lot of money, using these mixed materials for the precision components will actually work better.”

Most importantly, it would be cheaper.

Su Bail s abilities naturally left Olive amazed.

Su Bai could refine ordinary materials through repeated refinement, ultimately producing higher-tier materials. This was something Olive thought she and the others couldn’t achieve. She admired him greatly.

Looking at Su Bai, Olive’s eyes were filled with admiration. She said, “Boss, you’re really amazing!”

But as soon as Olive said that, Ji Yan on the sofa chuckled softly, “Are you all done?”

Ji Yan’s voice was so cold that Olive couldn’t help but shiver.

Su Bai raised an eyebrow. He could see that this was a minor issue, but he just didn’t want to pay attention to it.

“This is a trainee who just came. Take him and let him familiarize himself with our workings,” said Su Bai.

After saying that, Su Bai leaned in close to Olive’s ear and whispered something else. Olive’s face didn’t show any expression. After Su Bai finished speaking, she went to Gong Haohao’s side.

“Come with me and research alchemy first. I’ll guide you along the way, and at the same time, you can see what we’re working on. You’re the third-place winner of the competition, right? You seem really powerful. The leader of our alchemy team is second. I didn’t expect the top three to be in this base.”

While talking, Olive led Gong Haohao toward the direction of the laboratory.

Su Bai naturally had other arrangements for Gong Haohao. After retracting his gaze from Gong Haohao, he sat across from Ji Yan along with Roger and said, “I don’t have any objections to this contract.”

Roger looked at the contract with the name, Biya Village, written on it and shivered internally.

“What’s wrong, Professor?” Ji Yan asked.

Roger trembled upon hearing Ji Yan’s voice.

“You don’t have any ulterior motives, do you?” Roger asked.

Ji Yan smiled slightly. His mouth curved upward, but there was no smile in his eyes. Even ordinary people would feel a chill upon seeing him like this.

Su Bai squinted his eyes. But he felt that he wouldn’t lose out.

“What ulterior motives could I have? It’s just that Biya Village has attracted the attention of several Beasts, and the village itself can’t handle them. As for my Ji family, you should be aware that we can’t spare any energy to help Biya Village.” Ji Yan explained.

Roger took in a sharp breath. He thought, ‘The cunning part about this man was that his logic was too clear, without any major problems. So, the problem was likely with the Beasts in Biya Village.’

Roger wanted to say more, but he sighed and said, “Never mind, Biya Village is also in trouble, but you’re generous.”

Just by looking, Ji Yan was offering a reward of 200,000 bounty coins. Su Bai had obviously accepted the order for the 200,000 bounty coins. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to take up the job.

“Are you coming along, Professor?” Ji Yan asked as he glanced at Roger, and Roger shook his head.

Roger was just an alchemist. He didn’t want to stay with a group of

Beastmasters. Of course, Su Bai was an exception. Roger thought the

Beastmasters were always accompanied by Beasts, which were too dangerous.

Although Roger could defend himself, he couldn’t be sure he could create weapons when facing Beasts. Then, he left with Su Bai and the others. After bidding farewell with a wave, they all went their separate ways.

Ji Yan invited Su Bai to his car. They drove straight to Biya Village.

Biya Village looked better than Su Bai had imagined. After all, the last village he had helped was extremely poor. But Biya Village appeared to be more prosperous. The road was wide and had a touch of urban feel.

It was the border between Seadaemon City and Crescent City.

Ji Yan began to explain, “There wasn’t a Biya Village before. This was just an intermediate point. Initially, a few people lived here. Gradually, due to being beyond the control of Seadaemon City and Crescent City, they felt a sense of freedom, so more and more people settled here. This eventually formed a village. When the village was formed, Seadaemon City and Crescent City both wanted to claim ownership of Biya Village. But Biya Village didn’t want to become a part of either, so when they encountered Beasts, neither Seadaemon City nor Crescent City would help.”

Listening to that, Su Bai understood. Unlike Mount Tragic, Biya Village seemed to want to become an independent region. But now it was a long way from achieving that.

“They belong to the Ji family now?” Su Bai asked.

Ji Yan’s green eyes smiled but he didn’t answer the question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my sister.”

Su Bai smiled but didn’t say anything either. After all, no one would refuse a cute workhorse. Su Bai also knew who Ji Yan’s sister was. However, from Olive’s reaction, she was the eldest daughter of the Ji family.

However, Su Bai was not interested in the grudges of such a large family. Then, the two of them didn’t say anything along the way.

“Mr. Su Bai, we’ve arrived.”

When Su Bai’s door was opened by a bodyguard, he felt a strange aura. Su Bai asked, “Does Biya Village also practice medicine-making?”

Ji Yan shook his head and said, “That’s a secret of my Ji family. Biya Village doesn’t practice medicine-making, but our family needs a good place for medicine-making.”

This answered another question. The Ji family essentially owned Biya Village. From another perspective, it was a village controlled by the Ji family..
