CHAPTER 876: 455 FOOL_3

Then he took out his communicator and sent a mass message to his subordinates: "We must capture the mutant beasts! Show the people at Hope Base what we’re made of! These guys are just too much!"

Even if he didn’t say it, everyone else would still strive to accomplish it. After all, the tickets weren’t cheap, and it was out of their own pockets. If they didn’t manage to capture those mutant beasts, they’d be at a huge loss!

However, as they were lining up to enter, they discovered that not far from the entrance, there was a food shop in the park, mainly selling various meats or fresh grass and leaves.

The shop’s name was straightforward: "Mutant Beast Food Store," ensuring that everyone could immediately understand its meaning. In front of the shop, a notice board stated that the mutant beasts inside were ill-tempered. If one prepared some food before entering, it would be easier to gain their favor and facilitate contract signing.

Looking at this notice and then at the absolutely high prices inside the shop, Wang Quan and the others were practically itching to give the smiling, friendly-faced fat shop owner the finger!

They understood clearly that the people from Hope Base were obviously taking them for fools! Of course, they weren’t the only fools; other superpower users were the same. It wasn’t mandatory to buy, but entirely voluntary.

But the people present weren’t fools either. Although it was voluntary, if others offered food and you didn’t, would the mutant beasts give you a good face?

No way!

Unless they just came to see and experience, otherwise if they wanted to capture a mutant beast, food was indispensable!

In the end, Wang Quan and the others gritted their teeth and bought the food, spending a lot on it. They thought they were so well-prepared that the mutant beasts would surely give them face.

However, reality once again slapped them hard! The mutant beasts inside were like lords! Their principle was simple — they’d eat the food, but wouldn’t agree to any contracts!

No matter how much they coaxed, the mutant beasts just ignored them. When irritated, they would even roar directly!

Wang Quan and the others were unwilling to give up. They almost explored the entire park, not only trying their luck with carnivorous mutant beasts but also with herbivores. In the end, only one mutant rabbit agreed to a contract. But what good was a mutant rabbit even if they contracted it? Not only were these rabbits almost non-combatants, but even if they could fight, they couldn’t be taken out!

Wang Quan and the others felt they couldn’t afford to lose face like this, so they gave up on the mutant rabbit and planned to try their luck again. Unfortunately, due to the large number of people, the tickets had a time limit, and they ended up leaving "Mutant Beast Garden" with dark faces and full of frustration. After exiting, they placed another order for tomorrow’s ticket, planning to try their luck again the next day.

As for their previous determination and pride, it had long since been tacitly thrown aside.

On the way back, the more Wang Quan thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. He felt that this approach was getting them nowhere! So he narrowed his eyes and set his sights on Fang Yuxin and Wu Ke. Wu Ke was protected by Fang Yuxin and was unreachable, leaving Fang Yuxin as their only hope.

Wang Quan’s idea was simple: since Fang Yuxin could get so many mutant beasts and have them behave, she must have special methods. Instead of fumbling around blindly, it would be better to try Fang Yuxin’s way. Spending some Crystal Cores would still be more economical than waiting indefinitely!

Many others had the same idea. After encountering setbacks in the park, they started to contemplate this as well. However, even if ordinary people wanted to take Fang Yuxin’s route, they had no connections. Given Fang Yuxin’s power and status, she wasn’t someone they could just meet at will. But while ordinary people couldn’t manage it, some influential figures at the base had their ways.

Before long, quite a few people approached Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang, planning to pull some strings to use special means to contract their desired mutant beasts.

Those daring to approach Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang were quite influential within the base. The two couldn’t refuse them completely for the sake of the base’s development. Moreover, with the people from Changhe Base now at Hope Base, watching those mutant beasts, they certainly couldn’t let the benefits go to Changhe Base’s people!

So the two of them pondered for a bit and decided to bring it up with Fang Yuxin to ask for her help. As for the requests made by Wang Quan and the others, they were "very politely" put aside.
