《From Fish to Dragon》Chapter 6 Old Man Kong Bo

Wang Tao's father cut to the chase and said "So, you two wanted to see me. What for?". Wang Tao stood up without saying anything and directly called his Blackgold Python Tiger out not far away from where he sat.
Woosh*
With a flash of green light, a large 3-meter long tiger appears next to the three sitting down. Wang Tao's father turned to look at his son's newly evolved tiger and jumped. "Tao er, wha... What happened?.."
Wang Tao smirked as he saw his shocked father before saying with pride, "Not only did boss discover a new evolution branch, he also increased its grade from Uncommon to Rare!"
Once again, Wang Tao's father was shocked, he staggered as he approached the Python Tiger and patted its back as he looked at its body. Turning around to face his son and Ye Qin, Wang Tao's father asked "Ye Qin… you? Do your parents? Wait no! I should introduce you to a friend of mine. He will probably give you a breeder's license after seeing this."
He then got on his phone and made a call personally. After making the call, Wang Tao's father asked Ye Qin, "Nephew Ye, how did you?". As if he had already anticipated the question, Ye Qin replied promptly "Well, I was reading a book as per usual, suddenly I felt a flash of inspiration as if I had been enlightened."
Holding his chin, Wang Tao's father frowned slightly before saying "I see, I see, you have the makings of a great Monster Breeder."
The Blackgold Python Tiger lied down and had a nap as it awaited further orders as Wang Tao's father continued asking questions as they waited for the arrival of an old friend.
….
Knock. Knock.
Wang Tao's father opened the door as an old man who seemed to be in his late 60's whilst wearing a yellow t-shirt and shorts with a flower pattern enters the room. Though the man is old, he seemed full of energy and vigor and had the body of a military man, one could only tell he is old due to his grey hair and eyebrows and a few wrinkles here and there.

Before anyone could say anything, the old man turned and looked at the Blackgold Python Tiger lying near the door and stuttered saying "Thi.. this... Who? How? When?"
Wang Tao couldn't hold in his laughter as he saw another shocked expression, his father got up and explained the situation to the old man as he faced Ye Qin with glistening eyes. The old man walked up to Ye Qin and asked: "Do you want to become my disciple?"
Though he knew it was a possibility, Wang Tao's father is still shocked by the question. Ye Qin, however, asks awkwardly "You are??"
Smacking himself in the forehead the old man introduced himself, "Ah how could I forget basic etiquette? My name's Kong Bo, yes a strange name though I doubt you've ever heard of me. I've retired from the Monster Breeding world however years ago I made a bit of a name for myself. So what do you think?"
Ye Qin paused before replying "I'm sorry, I'll have to decline as I don't plan on becoming a Monster Breeder, but rather, I will fight on the front lines."
"Nephew, you must think this through, Breeder Kong is one of the few Master Rank breeders on the entire planet, if you become his disciple you may become as renowned as him or become even greater than he ever was!" Wang Tao's father interjected.
Through the 1000 years since the beginning of monster taming, the occupation of monster breeding arose just 200 years after that year. Monster Breeders are ranked by their knowledge and through the successful evolution of monsters that their clients bring to them. The Ranks are namely Master, Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze rank with no sub ranks.
"Sorry, my answer remains the same, I believe that I do not need a master even if I ever decide to become a Monster Breeder." Ye Qin replied bluntly.

Seeing Ye Qin's stern answer, Kong Bo started asking some questions that might be difficult for some Bronze ranked breeders. The more questions Ye Qin perfectly answered, the harder the questions he asked until some point he asked questions that even he a Master Rank breeder couldn't answer himself.
With each and every answer, Wang Tao and his father's eyes glistened and also hints of confusion could be seen, as they listened intently to the conversation.
Thinking in his head, "Let's see if you use this... And that... To mix it with those... Of course! Brilliant! This kid's knowledge surpasses my own! He should be my master instead!" Kong Bo thought.
As if he knew what Kong Bo thought, Ye Qin said "Sorry I don't accept disciples either." which made Wang Tao almost spit the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.
"How about this, I will bring you to the association and give you a Gold-ranked license? If you have it, your school should let you skip the monster theory classes giving you more time to power up your monster." Kong Bo said.
"Wow! My boss a Gold Ranked Monster Breeder at just 18 years old? No one will be able to say anything about you anymore!" Wang Tao said excitedly as if he were the one receiving it.
Ye Qin thought "That sounds like a good idea…", he then asked "Would it be alright though? Would the association just give a high ranking license to a high schooler? Without even taking any tests?"
"Hahaha, you're underestimating me, if I recommend you myself they will have nothing to say. Now come we must make haste before it closes." Kong Bo replied.
Ye Qin stood up and bowed to Wang Tao's father and said: "Thank you, Uncle Wang, I will see you another time."
Wang Tao's father stood up and patted his shoulder as the father and son duo saw them outside the company personally shocking the employees all around them.

Bleached Nightmare
500 years into the future, technological progress has stagnated. Wracked by a series of problems like climate change, lack of resources and the innate human lust for war, the geopolitical landscape of planet Earth is radically different, and quality of life is far from what it was in the past. While technical development and research into realistically feasible space travel has made leaps and bounds, this has come at the cost of a world that is reeling from centuries of technical stagnation in other aspects of life. The establishment of a mining colony on Mars has led to the discovery of a new, rare material called sarinium; though it is extremely tensile and durable, it has a very low melting point. The discovery of this metal leads to large mechanical infantry- dubbed 'Spirit Striders', they are six to ten meters tall and as famed for the pride they provide a nation as they are a lethally mobile heavy weapons platform. The story follows the character of Marilin, who must both figure the enigma that is her past, and what this means for her allegiances in the future. Despite her genetically physical frailty, she seeks to gain power through a vessel that will channel her wish to change the world- the Spirit Strider. --- I hope you all enjoy my work. This is a story that I began writing over four years ago in my beginning years of high school, and have cast aside unfinished in the past two years. Though it is not up to my current standards, I hope you all may find some enjoyment in it. Happy reading.
