    Chapter 317

    Chen Qingsheng returned, promising to give Su Hao a definite answer within three days.

    Su Hao simply nodded.

    "If the Management Bureau doesn't agree..."

    "I'll find someone else to cooperate with."

    After Chen Qingsheng left, Yashan finally voiced the question that had been bothering him.

    "Boss Wei."

    "Is this the plan you mentioned three years ago..."

    "...to completely eliminate the rebels?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Exactly."

    "If this succeeds..."

    "...the rebels will lose the very foundation of their existence."

    "In another ten years or so..."

    "...they'll naturally disappear."

    He paused before continuing.

    "When dealing with parasites, you don't always have to eliminate the parasites themselves."

    "Destroying the environment they depend on works just as well."

    He looked at Yashan.

    "For example..."

    "If you can't get rid of the cockroaches in your house..."

    "What do you do?"

    Yashan answered without hesitation,

    "Burn the house down."

    Su Hao snapped his fingers.

    "Correct."

    "Although it's not exactly the same..."

    "...the principle is."

    Yashan immediately tried applying the idea.

    "Then..."

    "Shouldn't we destroy the Secondary Star?"

    Su Hao slapped him lightly on the head.

    "The Secondary Star is enormous."

    "Can you destroy an entire planet?"

    "The important thing is understanding the essence."

    "The problem has never been the Secondary Star."

    "It's the rebels' monopoly over traveling there."

    "Break that monopoly..."

    "...and the rebels cease to exist."

    "If we don't solve the root cause..."

    "...children will continue being kidnapped to manufacture Balancers."

    He continued calmly,

    "Even if the rebels disappear..."

    "New organizations will emerge."

    "Maybe they'll call themselves the Troublemakers."

    "Or the Weepers."

    "Or the Toilet Guardians."

    "It doesn't matter."

    Yashan's eyes gradually brightened.

    "I understand now, Boss Wei."

    "I recently read something similar."

    "The book said..."

    "'New problems will always continue to appear.'"

    "So..."

    "Our goal isn't defeating the rebels."

    "Our real goal..."

    "...is preventing children from being kidnapped."

    "If we don't solve the reason children are valuable..."

    "Then even after destroying the rebels..."

    "...another organization will simply appear."

    "They'll continue kidnapping children to produce Balancers."

    "Everything would just repeat."

    He became more and more excited.

    "So from the very beginning..."

    "You weren't trying to eliminate the rebels."

    "You were trying to eliminate the reason they existed."

    "By making knowledge about the Secondary Stars public..."

    "By opening safe and affordable official transportation..."

    "...there'll be no reason to kidnap children anymore."

    "The high-risk, high-cost method used by the rebels becomes meaningless."

    "The problem disappears at its root."

    "As for whatever new problems arise afterward..."

    "That's no longer our concern."

    "Problems will always exist."

    "As long as we've solved the problem of children being kidnapped..."

    "...that's enough."

    Yashan looked at Su Hao with admiration.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "You're incredible."

    Su Hao casually slapped him again.

    "You've improved."

    "Looks like these past three years weren't wasted."

    Yashan scratched his head sheepishly.

    "That's because Boss Wei teaches well."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "But..."

    "There's still one very important point you haven't realized."

    Yashan blinked.

    "There's more?"

    "What is it?"

    Su Hao replied,

    "You've only understood the way of thinking."

    "The truly important part..."

    "...is the technology."

    He looked directly at Yashan.

    "Knowledge alone isn't enough."

    "Without technology..."

    "No matter how profound your understanding is..."

    "...it's useless."

    "Technology is the foundation."

    "Never forget that."

    "So..."

    "You still need to continue studying engineering and technology."

    Yashan was speechless.

    After a while, he nodded seriously.

    "I understand."

    "I'll keep learning."

    "One day..."

    "I'll become Scholar Yashan!"

    Su Hao laughed.

    "Good."

    "There's something else."

    "When we cooperate with the Management Bureau..."

    "I want you to join their Poké Ball research team."

    Yashan's smile instantly froze.

    "Me?"

    "I'm only an undergraduate."

    "I don't know anything about research..."

    Su Hao waved his hand dismissively.

    "It's fine."

    "I'll ask Chen Qingsheng to arrange someone to teach you."

    "You'll become a qualified researcher soon enough."

    "Don't underestimate yourself."

    "Yashan."

    "You're a genius."

    Yashan forced a smile.

    "...Understood."

    "I am a genius."


    ---

    Less than three days later...

    Chen Qingsheng arrived at the hotel where Su Hao was staying.

    This time, another middle-aged man accompanied him.

    His hairline had already receded considerably.

    After the introductions...

    The man spoke first.

    "I'm Chen Chufeng."

    "General Manager of the Management Bureau."

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong..."

    "Before deciding whether to cooperate..."

    "I'd like you to explain your entire plan again."

    "I need to evaluate its feasibility."

    "Especially the investment required..."

    "...and the expected returns."

    Chen Chufeng already understood Su Hao's personality from Chen Qingsheng.

    There was no need for unnecessary pleasantries.

    Straight to business.

    Su Hao patiently explained the entire Pet Home Project once again.

    After finishing, he calmly added,

    "For me..."

    "I'll fulfill a long-held goal."

    "I'll reshape this world."

    "At the same time..."

    "I'll gain access to more technical resources."

    "Especially the Management Bureau's scientific database."

    "As for the Management Bureau..."

    "You understand better than I do what it means to become the first organization to develop the Secondary Stars."

    "I don't need to explain that."

    He continued,

    "I'll also provide my Human Balance Technology."

    "As well as the Summoned Beast Evolution Technology."

    "So..."

    "Apart from changing the existing world order..."

    "...your Management Bureau will actually become the greatest beneficiary."

    Su Hao understood very well...

    Organizations of this scale didn't simply care about profits.

    They also cared about risk.

    If there were any chance that this project would threaten the position of the Ten Great Families...

    They would never agree.

    Fortunately...

    After asking numerous detailed questions...

    Chen Chufeng discovered that Su Hao already had solutions prepared for almost every issue.

    Finally...

    He nodded.

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong."

    "On behalf of the Management Bureau..."

    "I accept this cooperation."

    "Together..."

    "We'll establish the Pet Home Project."

    The two stood up and shook hands.

    Of course...

    This was only a verbal agreement.

    Countless formal procedures still remained.

    Su Hao would first need to organize the project into a complete proposal.

    Each required technology had to be clearly documented.

    Chen Chufeng would then submit it to the Ten Great Families.

    After convincing them...

    A professional review committee would be assembled.

    Budgets would be evaluated.

    Engineering projects assigned.

    Research teams established.

    And only then...

    Would the project officially begin.

    The most important step...

    Was naturally the technology transfer.

    To Chen Chufeng's surprise...

    Su Hao simply took out a portable hard drive and handed it over.

    "I've already organized everything."

    "It contains..."

    "Genetic Engineering."

    "Summoned Beast Evolution Sequences."

    "The Trainer Body Tempering System."

    "Human Balance Regulation."

    "Space Modules."

    "Teleportation Technology."

    "And the other core technologies."

    "You can take it."

    Chen Chufeng stared at the hard drive for several seconds.

    Then...

    He smiled.

    Without hesitation...

    He tore the technology transfer agreement into pieces and threw it into the trash.

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong."

    "I was being overly cautious."

    The following day...

    Chen Chufeng also handed Su Hao a portable hard drive.

    "These are some of the Management Bureau's highest-level confidential technologies."

    "They include..."

    "Summoned Beast Management Technology."

    "Summoned Beast Breeding Equipment."

    "The operating principles behind Spatial Positioning Chips."

    "The structural design of Large-Scale Spatial Transport Channels."

    "A complete database of highly compatible psychic alloys."

    "And much more."

    "From now on..."

    "They're yours."

    Chen Chufeng truly was a straightforward person.

    But beneath that straightforward personality...

    Was remarkable decisiveness and meticulous judgment.

    After interacting with him for two days...

    Even Su Hao couldn't help developing a favorable impression of this middle-aged man.

    Without another word...

    Su Hao pointed toward Yashan.

    "General Manager Chen."

    "This is my younger brother..."

    "Bai Jingyi."

    "I'd like him to join the Poké Ball development team."

    "Please arrange an experienced researcher to mentor him."

    "His foundation is still somewhat lacking..."

    "But..."

    "He has excellent thinking ability."

    Being praised by Bai Jingzhong himself as having "excellent thinking ability"...

    Chen Chufeng couldn't help sighing.

    "These days..."

    "There really are far too many geniuses."
