【Yin and Yang Crab: On October 3rd, 2016, Xi Ya Federation Calendar, a fisherman caught a fist-sized Yin and Yang Crab in his fish pond. Its body displayed both black and white colors. Experts stated that this crab was an extremely rare chimera, a result of genetic mutation under specific conditions.】
【Two-headed Shark: In the far west, marine researchers once discovered a two-headed shark. This severe deformative mutation may be related to environmental pollution or genetic abnormalities. We urge everyone to protect the marine environment; there is no slaughter without purchase.】
【Bloody Crow: At a chicken farm in a certain area, a large number of chicks died. An investigation revealed the culprit was a crow with an entirely bloody body. Its call was clear, and its size was two to three times that of a normal crow, equivalent to a young rooster. Its temperament was extremely fierce.】

News reports continued to scroll down.
In this world, there were quite a few strange-looking exotic beasts.
Generally, some would be discovered every so often.
Seeing this, his eyes lit up.
This undoubtedly represented a stable source of modification value for him in the future.
It was just a bit of a pity.
Although there were quite a few exotic beasts,
Compared to similar creatures, they were still relatively rare.
Additionally, most exotic beasts had firmer and more tender meat compared to their counterparts.
They were highly favored by some foodies.
This led to them being very popular, and their prices generally remained high.
Therefore,
Once these exotic beasts were discovered,
If they met a suitable buyer,
They could be sold for a good price, several times, or even more than ten times, the price of their counterparts.
“What a waste!”
Hu Qi felt a pang of heartache.
These were all modification values for him.
Then,
He checked his balance; out of a 30,000 allowance, most of it had been spent in less than a month.
Plus, the future purchase of exotic beasts he encountered would also be a huge expense.
So, the problem of making money was once again before him.
“Now that my Comprehensive Fighting Technique has reached Perfection, I should be able to take the Federation's Fighting Professional Certification exam. That would undoubtedly make earning money much easier later on.”
Hu Qi analyzed the current situation.
Then,
He logged onto the Xi Ya Federation's largest forum website and short video platform, publishing information about long-term acquisition of exotic beast meat and exotic beast sightings.
...
Inside the training room.
Two agile figures were engaged in a fierce exchange, namely Hu Qi and Song Jian.
At first glance, the two seemed evenly matched, difficult to distinguish who was superior.
But in reality, Hu Qi was mostly on the defensive, not actively attacking.
“Bang!”
In an instant,
Hu Qi's figure skillfully parried Song Jian's fierce attack, his arm striking out like a swift wind. With five fingers joined, he slammed a palm into Song Jian's shoulder.
The two immediately separated.
Song Jian's figure stumbled back a few steps, quickly reaching out to rub his now numb shoulder.
“You... you've gotten stronger again!”
Song Jian panted heavily, his face, which had been red from pain, gradually softened.
His eyes were filled with uncertainty and surprise. His own Aptitude was already good, and he had a dedicated nutritionist to carefully plan his meals and condition his body.
However, even so, he was still no match for Hu Qi.
Whenever he thought he was about to catch up to Hu Qi, he found that the distance between them seemed to have widened even further.
“Heh heh, a Minor Achievement. Thank you for your patronage, is this by QR code or cash?”
Hu Qi chuckled lightly.
From a purely theoretical standpoint, after his Comprehensive Fighting Technique reached Perfection, all the Moves within it had already been thoroughly integrated into his mind.
He could combine and utilize them at will.
Naturally, he was incomparable to Song Jian before him.
Even if two Song Jians were to team up, they would absolutely not be his opponent.
The frequent practical sparring during this period had also allowed him to thoroughly understand the opponent's strength.
It was roughly at the level of Minor Achievement in Comprehensive Fighting Technique. This level, compared to ordinary people, could already be considered excellent.
But compared to him, the gap was not just a little bit. In fact, if he were serious, that one strike just now would have been enough to knock the opponent down, making him unable to stand up again.
However, Hu Qi would not do that.
It wasn't that he intentionally hid his strength or deliberately showed off.
It was simply because Song Jian, ever since he lost to him last time, would come to spar with him every day.
Once or twice was fine, but with more frequent occurrences, Hu Qi naturally lost interest in sparring with a “weakling” whose strength was so disparate.
And this Song Jian was truly a talent.
Seeing Hu Qi's reluctance, he made a bet, demonstrating his money power.
He would give 1,000 yuan for each round they fought.
If either side lost, they would give the other 10,000.
Upon first hearing these extremely sincere words, Hu Qi, the poor man, was completely shocked.
It turned out that this guy in front of him was actually a rich person.
He had been worried about money before.
He had previously looked into matters related to professional certification exams.
However, due to the so-called procedures, he learned that from the date of registration, he would have to wait at least a month.
And he would have to wait until a certain number of people had gathered before a unified examination could be held.
If the number of people was insufficient, the examination time would be further delayed.
Just when Hu Qi was worried about money, wondering if he should take out some irregular online loans for emergencies,
He didn't expect that when he was sleepy, someone would bring him a pillow; someone actually came to his door to give him money.
In this situation, he naturally did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
This had nothing to do with money; after all, they were both club members, considered classmates.
He still had to help with this small favor.
“QR code, by the way, are you perhaps still hiding your strength? Why is it always just that little bit off?”
Song Jian was silent for a moment, but still took out his phone and scanned 10,000 yuan to Hu Qi.
“Nonsense, that Move of yours just now almost injured me. You just need to work harder, and you'll definitely win against me next time.”
Seeing the deposit notification, Hu Qi's face bloomed with a gentle smile.
Like a kind older brother, he encouragingly patted the other's shoulder, his tone incredibly sincere.
After spending these past few days together, with Hu Qi's intentional efforts to befriend him, the two could barely be considered friends.
Of course, even if they were friends, not a single cent of the money that should be given could be less.
“Forget it, I've lost all my pocket money for this month to you. Let's talk about it next month.”
Song Jian shook his head helplessly.
Hearing this, Hu Qi was momentarily speechless. In the past few days, he had squeezed eighty to ninety thousand yuan from this big sucker in front of him.
This much money was just his pocket money for the month?
This didn't even count the expenses the other party had already spent.
A preliminary estimate would be at least over a hundred thousand.
Truly the evils of capital!
Just as Hu Qi was secretly sighing in his heart,
At the doorway, a tall figure walked in.
Chen Wu walked through the door, extinguished the burnt-out cigarette butt in his mouth, and casually tossed it into the cigarette butt collection bin at the side of the door.
Seeing Chen Wu enter, everyone in the training room stopped their movements.
They all called out in unison, “Hello, Coach!”
Seeing this, Chen Wu nodded.
His gaze quickly scanned the room.
“Where are Lin Zhi and Chen Chang?”
“I saw them go to the restroom, they should still be in there.”
Someone raised their hand and replied.
“Alright then, when everyone is here, I have something important to tell you all.”
After Chen Wu finished speaking, he said no more.
“Could it be that thing?”
At this moment, Song Jian's gaze beside him became serious, and he said in a low voice.
His tone carried a deep sense of anticipation.
