Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Li Suyan arrived quickly; within an hour, Shen Yao and the others had returned to Li Suyan's villa.

Apart from the hired staff, only Li Suyan and her husband lived in the villa at present; Cui Hengqi and Cui Mingyue were not there.

"The incident happened suddenly, and we still don't know how the Official side will arrange and handle it."

Li Suyan sighed; she did not hold a position in the Official organization, but she maintained a fairly friendly relationship with them.

For something like a beast tide, once it occurs, whether one is an Official person or not, they will receive Official announcements and mobilization orders for arrangement.

After all, relying solely on the Officials cannot handle a beast tide; this requires everyone's cooperation, and even ordinary people might be asked to be responsible for the safety of a certain area.

However, when it comes to ordinary people, it is mostly led by the Officials, and even if not Officials, they are part-timers hired by the Officials.

As for Beast Tamers, ordinary Fan Rank or Huang Rank ones can choose for themselves, but those above Xuan Rank must unconditionally cooperate with the actions arranged and issued by the Officials.

Li Suyan and her husband were both on the Official list, so it was inevitable that they would be worried.

Shen Yao could not provide much help in this regard, and because she had to take care of two children, she could not leave Jing Shi too far; for some well-paying missions, she could only reluctantly give them up.

The moment of panic had passed, and what Shen Yao thought about most now was how to make money, earn resources, and develop herself.

The beast tide in Jing Shi came suddenly, but as long as Jing Shi could withstand this round of beast tide (extremely likely), those Beast Tamers and ordinary people rushing to the Frontline Battlefield would make a fortune.

Whether it was Official rewards or the corpses of tamed beasts, it was a model example of making a killing.

Xinxin and Mimi leaned in Shen Yao's arms, looking rather listless, completely lacking the spirit they had when they came over before.

Li Suyan felt heartbroken for them and busily had someone bring pastries and beverages, all flavors the children liked; the surging family affection surprised Shen Yao.

Hmm?

Xinxin and Mimi didn't think much of it; the two children were too young, at the typical stage of remembering food but not beatings. Although Li Suyan was not familiar with them, as long as she coaxed them with pastries, they would immediately become little followers.

She raised a hand to touch her chin; unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, Li Suyan being good to Xinxin and Mimi was more beneficial than harmful for Shen Yao; even without considering the more distant division of property, just helping her out casually right now was conducive to her early accumulation.

The starting point of Xinxin and Mimi when they grow up depends on how far Shen Yao's career develops, and her career is linked to Li Suyan's help, one thing leading to another; Shen Yao did not mind taking some shortcuts.

Looking at the two little ones already snuggling up to Li Suyan affectionately, the smile on Shen Yao's face grew richer.

In the afternoon, Li Suyan received the announcement and mobilization order sent by the Officials; her expression was not good, and she immediately said a few words briefly to Shen Yao.

"The Second Front Line is close to the frontmost battlefield; while there are more resources, it also means more danger.

Once I go this time, my return date is uncertain; you stay here temporarily for now."

The villa district here is of a private nature; the people living around are members of the Cui Family. Although relatives of the same clan are not reliable, compared to outsiders, one can still ask them for help.

However, Li Suyan reminded Shen Yao to rely on herself as much as possible and not speak to outsiders, as it was easy to be taken advantage of during the chaos.

Even if they are relatives, in the face of substantial interests, they must step aside.

Shen Yao nodded to reassure Li Suyan; she would not strike up conversations with others on her own. Of course, if it truly came to a matter of life and death, she would definitely save herself, and at that time, even losing interests would be acceptable.

Not waiting until the next day, that very night, Li Suyan and her husband left the villa and headed to the Gathering Point.

The Official announcement was still playing on a loop; all news sources capable of receiving outside information, such as mobile phones, televisions, and radios, were repeating the announcement content, and the Officials also encouraged everyone to accept missions to earn extra money.

Shen Yao frowned, "So dangerous?"

"Beast tides, you see, contain many tamed beasts mixed in; if one is not careful, they will be dragged in and torn apart," the system secretly revealed to Shen Yao that the Officials had set up five defense lines this time; the first two in front had the lowest standard of Xuan Rank Beast Tamers, while the last three gradually decreased, with the last one being ordinary people responsible for cleanup.

Hearing this, Shen Yao made an "oh" sound, her gaze falling to the bedside, where the two children who had already fallen asleep lay; Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan were each leaning against the children's sides, a small ball looking cute but also possessing great lethality.

"After the beast tide, there will be a period of abundant resources," Shen Yao half-narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment, immediately planning to take advantage of the opportunity to do a little business; others eat meat, she drinks some soup.

She currently did not have too much capital to enter the fray; Jing Shi here was deep and terrifying, and Shen Yao was also unwilling to destroy the relationship she had finally established with Li Suyan. Forget it, forget it; such beast tides would be encountered in the future; she was not in a hurry for the time being.

With no Owner at home, Shen Yao, this outsider guest, was also self-aware.

Every day, besides observing the Light Shield above her head, she listened to the system talk about gossip in Jing Shi; Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan had additional tasks of taking care of the children, working hard without complaint.

Boom—

The Light Shield shook, and countless birds and beasts in the sky dove downward before leaving unwillingly.

Shen Yao's eyesight was good; she could see the attack skills constantly flashing outside the Light Shield, all contracted beasts, with both sides fighting bloodily and fiercely. From time to time, injured or dead tamed beasts would slam heavily onto the Light Shield, causing the originally fairly transparent Light Shield to become dim.

Tamed beast attacks were not constant; they might rest for a period after two or three days. And during this rare truce, the discolored Light Shield would regain its transparency, and the stains, bloodstains, and even tamed beast corpses on it would disappear completely.

Shen Yao knew this was not disappearing into thin air, but rather tamed beasts with special abilities were responsible for the cleanup, temporarily taking all this beast meat away.

The corpses of dead tamed beasts were food and supplements for tamed beasts. After this beast tide passed, Jing Shi would probably not lack various qualities of beast meat for a short time.

Looking at the radiant Light Shield above her head, Shen Yao turned around and walked into the room.

The contact person had already posted the acquisition list; although the purchased shop could not open for business temporarily, using it as a warehouse was no problem.

As the beast tide's offensive weakened, the signals lost around the area slowly recovered.

The mobile phone in her hand kept ringing with notification sounds; it was funds transferred from Yang Shi, emergency payment for goods raised by Shen Yao's father and Shen Yao's mother.

Shen Yao's father and Shen Yao's mother, after being unable to contact Shen Yao and receiving news of the beast tide in Jing Shi, realized their daughter could not return in a short time.

Now that they saw both parties could communicate, they immediately impatiently transferred all the funds that could be used over.

Their actions also helped Shen Yao greatly to a certain extent; the more funds available, the more she, this middleman, could earn.

Deciding not to return to Jing Shi in the short term, Shen Yao increased her efforts in acquisitions, and also developed other money-making businesses. Even though people were fighting to the death outside, it still did not affect her money-making great undertaking.

Every few days, the Light Shield above her head would be renewed.

The beast tide had not ended; those assigned to the defense lines had not returned, and people who had stayed at home for a long time began to become anxious.

Unpleasant words constantly came from public places; the tense atmosphere became more and more intense, like a balloon rapidly expanding under high pressure, sooner or later it would burst and hurt people.

Compared to natural disasters, human calamities are the most dangerous and terrifying; even Jing Shi, with the strongest comprehensive strength, would still encounter all sorts of troubles.

Nowadays, the beast tide needed people to hold the line, and the personnel left behind in the capital were scarce, which gave a signal to certain audacious individuals.

Perhaps unwilling to accept it, perhaps wanting to white-loot, all kinds of reasons could not stop human greed.

The villa district where Shen Yao resided was still relatively safe, but other areas, places closer to the suburbs, all suffered financial losses.

This included the shop Shen Yao spent money to buy; fortunately, there was nothing inside.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao merely filled out a form when reporting the loss; at other times she also did not choose to go out, just hiding in the villa day after day enduring it, until the light shield overhead changed frequency less and less often, and the number of besieging birds and beasts grew fewer and fewer.

"It's going to end."

Shen Yao spoke with certainty; after all, she had the System, this broadcasting machine, able to grasp the entire capital's situation.

"Host, Li Suyan and her husband on the Second Front Line will be able to return in a few more days; the resources they earned this trip are truly abundant."

Their battle achievements on the Second Front Line ranked among the top; Qi Mengyao had already touched the advancement threshold, counting as a blessing in disguise.

You must know Qi Mengyao is already an Earth Tier Pet Beast; going further up is Heaven Tier — what does that mean? The Cui Family's strongest person is also a Heaven Tier Beast Tamer.

However, the System supplemented afterward with the difficulty of Qi Mengyao's advancement; in the short term there was still no chance, merely this battle gave Qi Mengyao an opportunity.

"The more earned, the more dangerous;" the Beast Tamers holding the first two defense lines this time all survived nine deaths out of ten; those who lived reaped rich harvests, but simultaneously very many people died.

Raising a hand to rub her forehead, Shen Yao indicated this kind of situation was not suitable for her; she would still focus on career development, peacefully raising the two kids at home.

System: ……

Li Suyan and her husband returned to the villa on the weekend when the System and Shen Yao's conversation ended.

The two looked weary in expression; especially Li Suyan, her whole body emanating a murderous aura; Qi Mengyao followed at her side, not leaving a single step.

The moment she saw Shen Yao and the two children, Li Suyan wanted to show a smiling face to greet them simply, but the result was her face half-frozen, not quite frozen, which was even more frightening.

Shen Yao tacitly did not go overboard disturbing the two; she only let them go rest first; whatever words there were, saying them later would not be too late.

Li Suyan fell asleep head-down, vowing to wash clean the pressure on her body.

Compared to Li Suyan whose presence was very strong, Cui Hengxin's father appeared extremely transparent; Shen Yao only knew the other party's name was Cui Lv; both sides meeting was merely limited to the extent of mutually nodding in greeting.

Li Suyan's tone was apologetic, indicating the other party, because of early years' reasons, was not good at speaking.

Shen Yao: ……Ah? Mute?

"Not to the extent of mute; slight trauma?" Cui Lv was also a genius in early years; later he encountered an accident; his pet beast died, causing damage to himself; he gradually sank into silence.

The System knew Cui Lv and Li Suyan communicated in this state too; it could only attribute it to his own reasons; moreover, his pet beast died yet he was still a Xuan Rank Beast Tamer, completely different from Cui Hengxin that kind of dud.

"We luckily survived and returned this time; heard you have an intention to purchase beast meat.

How about this: inside are all the quotas I can decide; you can look first."

Li Suyan handed a list to Shen Yao; afterward, she pressed her palms together and leaned back herself.

Shen Yao glanced at the content on the list; right at the top appeared an Earth Tier Pet Beast's corpse.

Hiss—

This cheap mother-in-law of hers was indeed formidable; pity she herself was too weak; Xuan Rank beast meat she could still raise a hand to touch, but Earth Tier beast meat — don't even think about it.

Rather, there were comparatively more Mortal Rank and Yellow Rank; with her strength and the confidence of backing Li Suyan, no one would think of looking for trouble with her.

Very neatly stating the quotas she wanted, Shen Yao indicated public for public, private for private; the two of them doing business as business was fine.

Li Suyan smiled in satisfaction; her unnatural expression could still scare children to tears.

"Okay, these can all be given to you; just contact."

Staying in the villa a few more days, after the capital's atmosphere slowly improved, Shen Yao left with the two children.

Because the shop was crude, Shen Yao still chose to settle in the original hotel; the two children temporarily suffered some grievance, accompanied respectively by the two pet beasts, while she busily ran around on various purchasing businesses.

Not everyone has Li Suyan's heroic spirit, waving a hand and letting Shen Yao eat her fill and eat well; more people still need to personally step forward, communicating with these Beast Tamers who just came down from the defense lines.

These Beast Tamers just experienced a life-and-death great battle; although the harvest was abundant, their tempers were truly not good; some people even couldn't help but suddenly explode.

Some intentional, some unintentional; without exception, it was the weak who suffered grievance; after all, the Beast Tamer world respects the strong.

Shen Yao had Li Suyan this big order; compared to others she was lucky many times over; through distribution and sales in several surrounding cities she earned quite a lot.

Especially Mortal Rank beast meat has always been the main force purchased by ordinary people and Beast Tamers; this capital beast tide can be said to have fiercely supplemented a wave of Mortal Rank beast meat quantity.

Capital prices dropped; other cities' prices were still relatively stable.

Shen Yao busily allocated for this; waiting until the beast meat in her hands was all exchanged for money, she finally could stop her steps, having time to rest.

Xinxin and Mimi used every trick to cling to Shen Yao; the two children this period were neglected, and along with them Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan also felt much resentment.

Shen Yao both guaranteed and rewarded; finally she coaxed the children and pet beasts into good moods.

This period Father Shen and Mother Shen also constantly sent inquiries to Shen Yao, wanting to know their plan to return.

A golden nest, a silver nest, are not as good as one's own dog nest; the capital is good but cannot compare to the familiar Yang City life.

Shen Yao planned to conduct wrap-up handling at the final stage, then depart returning to Yang City.

Li Suyan this period was abnormally busy; sitting in her current position, some matters involved far-reaching implications; just the Beast Tamers who sacrificed in the beast tide this time, the position vacancies needed people of equal strength to fill.

No time to see Shen Yao mother and daughter off; Li Suyan waved a big hand and bestowed quite a few more resources, and instructed Shen Yao to come to the capital more often when free; a family need not be too polite.
