Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 1003 - Loyalty is More Important Than Capability

Chapter 1003: Loyalty is More Important Than Capability

While Tian Ningning was amazed by Lin Yuan’s status, she also felt the pressure.
She felt that she had many areas to improve on as the Moon Empress’ disciple’s exclusive reporter.
When they arrived at the mansion, Lin Yuan told Wen Yu to tend to Tian Ningning and introduce her to everyone in the mansion.
Next, Tian Ningning followed Zhang Xiaobai and the rest to the Dome Guild Club so that she could prepare herself to go on Star Web and handle all the negative consequences of Zhang Xiaobai and the rest leaving the Extreme Guild Club for Dome Guild Club.
Lin Yuan checked the time and was about to go to the Spirit Lock spatial zone to evolve the snake-type feys to Bronze/Legend for Wendy when Listen, and Hu Quan walked in.
Listen quickly walked toward Lin Yuan and handed him a fey storage box before saying, “Young Master, here are the 50 Hundred Questions Beasts that Qin Lun gave me. He said that you needed them.”
Listen sounded unsure as he spoke.
The Hundred Questions Beasts in the fey storage box were not high-quality, and all had matted fur. Not even normal people would want to buy them to use as their housekeeping beasts.
Why did Lin Yuan want 50 of them?
Listen could not think of a way that the Hundred Questions Beasts could be useful. He felt that these Hundred Questions Beasts were very lucky. No matter how pathetic they started out as, their luck would change once they met Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan received the fey storage box and replied, “Listen, keep Qin Lun and Qin Yu with you for some time. Train Qin Lun well. Qin Yu is only around 12 years old and should be going to school. However, he has no foundation at all, and it would be unfeasible to expect him to start immediately. Find a full-time teacher to teach him for a year. Next year, he’ll take the exam to join the Royal Capital’s Low-Class Spirit Qi Academy.”
Lin Yuan had already decided to take Qin Lun and Qin Yu under his wing. Hence, he was going to nurture them properly.
Although Qin Lun had a fair amount of life experience from running the spirit lifeform store, knowing was not the same as experiencing.
He had been running the spirit lifeform store for survival and rarely had any interaction with the outside world. Hence, he had essentially been living under a rock all this time.
Lin Yuan wanted Listen to remove the rock.
There were times that experience was more important than power.
Nonetheless, before Lin Yuan could find the Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion for Qin Lun and Qin Yu, there was no way for Qin Lun to increase his power.
Qin Yu was still young, and the best thing for him to do now was to go to school. Anything else could wait.
Listen nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll make sure to take care of everything. However, Qin Yu is too old to attend Year 1 at the Royal Capital’s Low-Class Spirit Qi Academy. If he can learn more during the next year, he might be able to go into Year 4 directly. If so, he’ll be able to be with people his age and make it easier for him to acclimatize as well.”
Lin Yuan felt that Listen’s suggestion was right.
In a place like Low-Class Spirit Qi Academy, where there were many innocent children, it would be difficult for Qin Yu to find his place amongst children that were too young or too old.
For someone like Qin Yu, who had shouldered so many struggles at a young age, he would only suppress any ostracization he received. This could result in his cheerful personality warping into a reserved one.
If that happened, it would defeat the purpose of Lin Yuan sending Qin Yu to the Royal Capital’s Low-Class Spirit Qi Academy to study.
Thus, Listen’s suggestion of having Qin Yu join Year 4 was the best decision.
Lin Yuan felt very assured to leave matters in Listen’s hands.
Hu Quan chuckled and said, “Lin Yuan, I’ve picked out the Spirit Craftsmen as per your instructions from a few days ago. After I mentioned the part about being separated from society, only 35 people volunteered. After I said that they would have to be away for a decade, a total of 130 people volunteered. When I finally revealed the rewards, all of them were clamoring the volunteer. Hence, I only chose the Spirit Craftsmen who had volunteered immediately after I said that they would be separated from society.
“I assessed all the Spirit Craftsmen’s abilities when they joined our Heavenly Craft Pavilion. Although those who volunteered are rather weak, and some are old, they are full of loyalty. It’s worth investing in them. I told them to prepare what they would need yesterday, and they’re all gathered in Heavenly Craft Pavilion now. I can bring them here anytime you wish.”
From this selection of Spirit Craftsmen, Hu Quan had realized that loyalty was more important than capability.
He had now separated the 500 Spirit Craftsmen of Heavenly Craft Pavilion into different levels based on their loyalty.
Hu Quan decided that he would first nurture the 35 Spirit Craftsmen who had volunteered to be separated from society while observing the second group that volunteered.
As for those that only volunteered after hearing about the rewards, Hu Quan decided to give up on them. He would only impart basic skills to them and leave all the miscellaneous tasks in Heavenly Craft Pavilion to them.
Despite being a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman, he could not teach 500 Spirit Craftsmen even if he wanted to.
Hu Quan decided to focus on nurturing the loyal ones.
Heavenly Craft Pavilion paid the Spirit Craftsmen more than they would earn freelancing. Hence, he would not be taking advantage of the Spirit Craftsmen that he had no intention of teaching. He was still going to assign them work.
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he said after a moment’s pondering, “Uncle Hu, bring the 35 Spirit Craftsmen over. Since they’re prepared to be separated from society, the earlier they begin working, the earlier they’ll be able to finish the construction in the marsh world.
“Listen, prepare more construction materials for basic facilities like houses, breeding bases, and breeding rooms.”
Listen hastily spoke..
