Chapter 615 Qixing's Reply!_2
Fang Mu didn't have to do much to reap the greatest benefits, and in such circumstances, keeping a low profile was better than making high-profile moves.
Han Ming would surely respond based on his own intelligence after receiving the message.
These days, Hu Tao had been continuously managing her channel on the Battle Network, but with the opening of the Second World, Beast Masters from the Dragon Rising Federation began logging into the Second World.
This caused a massive exodus of users from the Dragon Rising Federation's Battle Network.
At first, Hu Tao was quite disheartened and irritated; her channel on the Battle Network was a venture she had cultivated with care.
With the departure of users from the Battle Network, Hu Tao's channel's popularity also rapidly declined.
Only a few days after the Second World had opened, the popularity of Hu Tao's livestream had halved.
Hu Tao's channel was one of the better ones on the Battle Network, while the channels of other smaller streamers were now basically unwatched.
Hu Tao watched with her own eyes as the channel she had nurtured to prosperity suddenly began to decline.
At first, Hu Tao didn't speak to Fang Mu about her troubles. It was Jiang Tuo who noticed Hu Tao's off state and informed Fang Mu, prompting Fang Mu to encourage Hu Tao.
"The opening of the Second World is a good thing for all humanity," Fang Mu consoled Hu Tao. "It allows all the citizens of various federations to interact with one another."
"Even if the Battle Network doesn't close, it will eventually serve a different purpose and won't always overlap with the Second World!"
Fang Mu was trying to encourage Hu Tao, but Hu Tao felt even worse after hearing his words.
"Ah Mu, are you saying that our livestream will never have a chance to rise again!?" Hu Tao asked.
Hu Tao was a smart person, but due to her youth and lack of experience, she had a rather narrow perspective.
But once she gave it some thought, Hu Tao wouldn't keep dwelling on this issue.
"The opening of the Second World is also a good thing for you," Fang Mu continued.
"In the Battle Network, your livestream only faces the Beast Masters of the Dragon Rising Federation. The Second World has just opened, and many of its systems are incomplete; it is still undergoing rapid development."
"Within a month or two, the Second World will launch a livestreaming feature. If you like, you can create a channel there and face Beast Masters from all over the human world."
"Don't you want to realize your own value on a broader platform!?"
Upon hearing Fang Mu's words, Hu Tao's eyes lit up. She was someone who relished challenges.
These words from Fang Mu immediately reignited Hu Tao's fighting spirit, and she was no longer bothered by the drop in popularity of her Battle Network stream.
Seeing the change in Hu Tao's demeanor, a smile spread across Fang Mu's face.
As a defensive Beast Master, Hu Tao wasn't particularly skilled in individual combat, and her Bird Armor Puppet wasn't suitable for public display unless absolutely necessary.
Relying solely on the Barrier Silver Phoenix and the Backtracking Bell Sparrow wasn't enough for Hu Tao to stand out amongst a crowd of talents. Hu Tao needed to have her own niche.
Hu Tao's actual strength lay in her ability to Comprehend Mysterious Patterns.
Her family was moderately well-off, and the reason Hu Tao could visit the Contemplation Hall or go on trips with her parents once or twice a year was because they were willing to invest resources in her.
In reality, the chance for Hu Tao to awaken Mysterious Patterns through external stimuli was very slim, while the children from major powers often spent a great deal of time immersed in the Contemplation Hall.
Despite that, Hu Tao was still not left behind by these scions of great powers—in fact, in Comprehending Mysterious Patterns, she had even surpassed some of these children from powerful factions!
Fang Mu had cultivated six Heaven Fragrance Peonies, which could absorb moonlight and contribute about sixty flower beads each month for him.
Before leaving the Mountain Manor, Fang Mu left a full thirty flower beads with Hu Tao.
Now that the Jianmu Contemplation Hall in JA City had been completely constructed, Fang Mu planned for Hu Tao to use one flower bead every week to stimulate her spiritual power and enhance her comprehension.
Hu Tao would try to Comprehend Mysterious Patterns that suited her in the Contemplation Hall.
No one could guarantee success in Comprehending Mysterious Patterns; it was entirely possible for someone of modest talent to keep Comprehending Mysterious Patterns in the Contemplation Hall.
While someone with great giftedness might not gain anything!
Fang Mu had created the best conditions for Hu Tao; how much she would eventually improve was now up to Hu Tao's own destiny!
```
Hu Tao must first comprehend a variety of Mysterious Patterns and Chapters before Fang Mu gives her the Scenery Fantasy Pearl, even enabling Hu Tao to consecutively condense several high-level Mysterious Chapters!
The understanding of Mysterious Patterns and Chapters is the genius pathway Fang Mu had set for Hu Tao.
After Fang Mu finished guiding Hu Tao and arranging her tasks, he inquired about Jiang Tuo's situation.
Jiang Tuo was practically immersed in the Two Lives world all day like an internet-addicted teenager, participating in at least ten ranked matches every day in the virtual world.
Jiang Tuo had been continuously victorious, and during this time he encountered several tough opponents but ultimately secured victory.
He fought his way to the promotion match from Silver to Gold Ranking with an undefeated record.
After several days of intense battles, Jiang Tuo finally began to feel tired.
Jiang Tuo wasn't in a hurry to advance his ranking but planned to rest properly and digest the improvements in battle skills and insights he had gained during this period.
While Jiang Tuo always maintained a calm attitude, he had unknowingly gained significant fame in the Second World.
Many were discussing that youth who had contracted several Ice Ghosts in the Second World's social zone.
Fang Mu had long seen through Jiang Tuo's enthusiasm and craving for battle; in the Second World, Jiang Tuo was like a wildly raging beast.
Even before becoming a Biprong Star Tamer, Jiang Tuo had already contracted four Ice Ghosts and the powerful Destiny Guardian Beast Bingxiao.
Jiang Tuo, being under twenty, could not say for certain that he dominated his age group. It was very possible that if Jiang Tuo encountered a strong opponent, he might face a sudden defeat.
Rather than smooth sailing, Fang Mu hoped that Jiang Tuo would face some setbacks!
Being overly successful as a youngster isn't necessarily good for subsequent growth; this was a fact Fang Mu, having lived Two Lives, understood, but Jiang Tuo did not.
Only by experiencing failure and recognizing his shortcomings could Jiang Tuo proceed further and smoother!
After another two or three days, Fang Mu felt it was time to seek out Lian Dai.
Ever since Lian Dai handed over the Scale to him, she had been waiting for his response.
In these few days, Fang Mu had also thought of the conditions he would propose to Lian Dai.
Lian Dai, who had just finished negotiating with the kings and Sea Lords of the other three great Sea Countries, rubbed her forehead tiredly.
The negotiation with the Sea Lords went smoothly, but problems arose with the kings of the other three empires.
Lian Dai was tremendously assertive and managed to fight for a chance to meet with the Contract Garden Creators jointly with the other three great Sea Country kings.
Whether the two sides could achieve cooperation did not depend on her effort but on the attitude of the Contract Garden.
When her maid reported that Fang Mu had come to see her, Lian Dai's heart immediately became apprehensive.
Fang Mu's visit meant that he had relayed her message to Qixing and that Qixing had responded to her request.
Lian Dai did not let her maid lead Fang Mu to her bedroom but personally went to receive Fang Mu.
After sending her maid away, Lian Dai looked at Fang Mu with an urgent expression.
Fang Mu didn't dare to presume over Lian Dai, a strong individual who had stepped into the Gods' Domain, nor did he find it necessary.
Fang Mu, not waiting for Lian Dai to ask him, spoke directly to her, "Lendai senior, I have conveyed the message and Scale you asked me to deliver to my master."
"My master, after investigating your Scale, has clearly expressed that he can help enhance your Bloodline."
Upon hearing Fang Mu's words, Lian Dai's excitement was palpably revealed.
Fortunately, Lian Dai immediately reined in her excitement the moment it emerged, otherwise Fang Mu could have been seriously injured by the outburst!
If that had happened, Lian Dai would not only feel sorry towards Fang Mu but also be unable to explain it to Qixing.
"Jianmu, I'm truly sorry, I was a little uncontrolled!"
"Now that Master Qixing has said he can help enhance my Bloodline, may I ask what Master Qixing requires from me!?"
