Chapter 1984: Who Are You!?

Tang Shaoyang nodded, but he did not tell Azhug how much money he was currently holding. Instead of giving Azhug 150 million, he threw a question to Azhug.

”How much money and how long do you need to raise this place’s reputation to three stars?”

Azhug could read his employer’s emotion through facial expressions, and he could tell that 150 million did not surprise his employer. It meant his employer had more than 150 million GC in his pocket. However, his employer seemed to underestimate the running cost of the World of Beast Spirit.

The Shepherd of Beast Spirit class required a significant amount of money to grow, a class that actually burned money, a black hole. The worst part was that he seemed to set up his employer by proposing that his employer could not sell the Beast Spirit. This place could not generate money unless its owner ordered the Beast Spirit to kill a high-ranked monster. But it required a battle Beast Spirit.

None of the three type breeds was a battle Beast Spirit. He could train them, but he was reluctant to do so if they were not the battle-type. The risk for them to get killed was higher, no matter how hard they trained, just because they did not have the skill that the battle-type Beast Spirit had.

Azhug wanted to have a deeper conversation with his new employer, asking what his employer’s objective for the long term was. What his employer wanted to do with the Beast Spirit. He could not see the same passion and love he and his friends had toward the Beast Spirit in his employer.

”Again, it depends on how much money you can spend. Your place needs at least twenty Beast Spirits: five of them should be at least at 75 happiness rating, and fifteen of them at 50 happiness rating.”

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow when he heard the requirement for the three-star rating. From five happy Beast Spirits to twenty Beast Spirits was quite a high jump. The space might not be enough as well.

’Ah, maybe I can expand my world again after getting my first star.’

Tang Shaoyang realized that he might be able to expand his space again after his reputation went up. Sure enough, the expansion option appeared again. However, he must upgrade his Management Center to expand. The condition was to have at least five facilities in this space as well as a Level 2 Management Center.

That solved the space issue, but the problem was the Beast Spirits. He could only get a Beast Spirit through Beast Spirit Application, and he needed to wait for another month after receiving the first batch.

”Can you make this place a three-star rating with two billion?”

Tang Shaoyang realized that it was not his problem to think of since he became a worker. It was for them to think how to obtain the Beast Spirit, and he just needed to provide the funds. He did not tell Azhug how much he had right now and threw half of it in his pocket.

Azhug and his staff’s eyes went wide when they heard the number, not expecting to hear such a big number at all. He blinked his eyes in disbelief for a moment, ensuring he did not hear it wrong.

”Do you hear me, Azhug? Are you okay?”

The Ogre snapped and turned toward his staff and noticed that Meadow and Lavender were also shocked, but Liora’s reaction was a bit weird. Liora did not look surprised to hear the number, as if she knew something he did not know.

’I need to have a conversation with Liora after. Do they know each other?’

”Ah, yes, Sir. Two billion... That’s a big number,” Azhug rubbed his chin, thinking about what he could do with two billion. He was doing some calculation and planning with two billion and wanted to be efficient with the funds. He had a general direction and plan in his mind and looked this employer in the eyes.

”Are you sure about the two billion, sir? It’s not a small number, and you must remember about the fund to sustain this space as well, instead of focusing all the funds on a development.”

Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at the Druid, ”Cut the nonsense, Azhug! Your main focus is to manage this place, and I will prepare the funds and the resources for you. What can you do with two billion?”

”Ah, yes. I can make it to half-way to four stars with two billion...” Azhug straightened his back and explained what was in his mind.

The Ogre explained how he was going to use the funds. He asked Tang Shaoyang to upgrade the Management Center into Level 2, and they continued with expansion. He could expand the space six times before, but he could expand the space ten times this time.

Azhug guided Tang Shaoyang on where he should place the expansion. Instead of expanding the space evenly, the Ogre asked to focus on extending the space to the north and south. The Druid explained that he wanted to create a cold habitat in the north and a warmer area in the south. That way, the cold area would not spread to the other habitat.

Azhug then asked Tang Shaoyang to buy the Trade Center Facility and Beast Spirit Alliance Hub. The Trade Center Facility provided access for the holder of the Shepherd of the Beast Spirit Class to do an exchange or maybe to do cross-breeding.

The same with Beast Spirit Alliance Hub, but the scale was much bigger, and it was not exclusive to the class holder. There was a profession called Beast Spirit Hunter, and their job was catching the Beast Spirit and selling them in the alliance hub.

The Beast Spirit Alliance Hub was similar to Administrator Space, and only Beast Spirit-related classes could access this place.

”We can buy more Beast Spirits from these two places to increase the number to twenty, and we can choose the Beast Spirit that fits the habitat we build. That way, we would not be worried about lacking space if we already have the habitat.”

Tang Shaoyang listened to Azhug attentively and realized that this class was more than just a class. It actually worked like he was handling a business empire instead.

”I will allocate 200 million for research, for our Medical Hub, and also the Beast Spirit food. A high-quality food is important to maintain the Beast Spirit’s happiness,” Azhug explained, afraid that his employer would misunderstand him for squandering the funds for something unimportant.

”What about the other research?”

Tang Shaoyang recalled there was something called Beast Spirit Application Extension (I), Beast Spirit Application Range (I), and so on for his other skills.

”Ah, those researchers. You don’t need to worry about it because we have to do that research to unlock the other resource, but before that, we need to discuss something else. The other resources, your energy. The research and buying facility required your energy, and I want to know the limit of how much I can use in one day.”

This was the most important thing. Azhug did not want to blindly use his employer’s energy because his employer would be fucked if his employer was in the middle of battle. His employer was in the middle of a battle and did not have the energy to use the skill. That was a mistake that would speed-run the end of his third employment.

Tang Shaoyang opened his window status and checked his Chaos Energy [Chaos Energy: 52,500,000]. That was the exact number, and with how little usage for each expansion and buying the new facility, Azhug did not need to worry about draining his energy.

”Ah, you don’t have to worry about it. I have high energy regeneration, but if you are worried, then limit my energy usage to 20 million. If you are worried, is there a way for us to communicate when I am away...”

Tang Shaoyang paused as he noticed that Azhug was not listening to him, and the other three staff had the same reaction. They had their eyes widened, looked in a daze as they stared at him. As if they had just heard something shocking, and he did not recall that he ever said something that could cause them to react like this.

”Guys! Hello, are you okay?”

”Who are you!?” Azhug Oogurim blurted out in a high-pitched voice.
