Chapter 105: Su Ping's Farming Plan! Out of Money!
Chapter 105: Su Ping's Farming Plan! Out of Money!
Herb Essence, Wood Spirit Grass, Smiling Sunflower Seeds, Sunlight Spring Water, Natural Lung...
These were the resources Su Ping required for breeding his beasts.
However, at this very moment, what was delivered was not limited to these items.
In addition to two precious Sun Crystals, there were also resources like Spirit Leaves, Life Fruits, and Heart of Wood, among others—a pile of Wood-attributed and Life-attributed resources.
They were delivered by a small truck!
They were sent directly to Su Ping's breeding base.
As Zhang Lie had mentioned, typically, breeding resources and materials were not delivered all at once to ordinary breeders.
But he believed in himself and in the Heart of Wood.
In any case, flattery was essential, no matter how many times you tried to penetrate.
Su Ping was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Legion's work.
Regarding the breeding and evolution of these ten Thousandwood Lynxes, Su Ping already had a plan in mind.
According to the previously agreed-upon terms, if the Thousandwood Lynxes achieved a good ranking in the upcoming Legion Tournament, he would not only receive a Third-Class Merit but also an additional Second-Class Military Merit.
There was also the Honorary Military Rank.
Although Su Ping didn't fully understand the specific uses of these items, they sounded quite impressive.
Naturally, to ensure that these little guys didn't embarrass him in two months, Su Ping had to give it his all!
First, the breeding of the Heart of Wood.
Heart of Wood, Sunlight Absorption, and Photosynthesis—the combination of these three skills in a special formula was something Su Ping hadn't fully grasped the conclusion of yet.
However, there was no doubt that, based on Old Sha's performance, it could form a cyclical system.
This was crucial for enhancing combat capabilities.
Therefore, even though the Heart of Wood wasn't among the Thousandwood Lynx's racial skills, Su Ping decided to include it in their training.
Unfortunately, after Old Sha's Heart of Wood skill reached the Master Level, it became more challenging to practice and improve its proficiency, even when connected with other Lynxes.
Su Ping quickly planned the upcoming breeding schedule.
He now had a clear idea of what needed to be done.
First, he would breed the Heart of Wood, and then, after about ten days, he would officially start breeding these Legion Lynxes to evolve into Thousandwood Lynxes.
Old Sha's evolution time was estimated to be less than half a month.
This breeding process would take just about two months.
After breeding the Heart of Wood, Su Ping also wanted to improve the Sunlight Absorption skill of some Legion Lynxes, so that the resulting Thousandwood Lynxes would have even greater potential and strength.
However, after the breeding was complete, he had to leave at least a week for training the Thousandwood Lynxes in combat, allowing them to adapt to their new abilities after evolution.
It was a pity.
Looking at the precious resources placed in the potion-making room, Su Ping sighed slightly. Using these resources himself was one thing, but taking more than he needed and selling them would be a different matter.
If he were to take these resources from the Legion and then sell them, the nature of the situation would change.
Regardless of how the Legion might feel about it, his father would certainly have something to say.
So, Su Ping was now genuinely feeling a bit overwhelmed:
The money he had saved up over this period was all spent on Old Sha, but he now had many expenses.
Old Guan had successfully negotiated for the land deeds on both banks of the Spirit Stream River, and even the small hill south of the river had been secured. All he needed to do was pay, and the contract could be signed at any time!
The area of the Heart of Wood's land could be expanded by at least twofold.
This twofold increase was not in comparison to the current breeding base but to the entire area of the Heart of Wood, including the Cloud Heaven Resort, which would be more than doubled!
After all, aside from the street-facing shops, the area behind was indeed a desolate and uninhabited land.
Su Ping planned to build a bridge at the Spirit Stream River's location, connecting both banks of the Heart of Wood's river, and also divert the river to create a small lake.
Additionally, the small, barren hill to the south would become a large botanical garden for plant-type beasts.
As for the area west of the Spirit Stream River, Su Ping considered the possibility of developing a special area to keep undead beasts, separated from the rest.
The Cloud Heaven Resort would remain as it was, but being a street-facing location in the suburbs, it still required some attention.
At that time, the Cloud Heaven Resort will be connected to the entire Wood Heart, along with several nearby street-facing locations, serving as an integrated service station for pet beast cultivation, vacationing, and battles.
The Wolf Forest behind it, the Spirit Stream River location, and the southern wasteland will serve as the pet beast cultivation sites.
This is the preliminary plan, and Old Guan has also calculated the expenses for Su Ping.
As for the land deeds, it's not too bad. If it's just the area south of the Spirit Stream River and that wasteland, the land deeds will only cost around 20 million to use.
After all, it's an undeveloped and worthless wasteland.
However, aside from the Wood Heart and Cloud Heaven Resort, the land deeds for the street-facing properties adjacent to the Wood Heart and Cloud Heaven are not so cheap.
Of course, there's no need to rush for this area just yet.
But while buying land and fencing it off may not be expensive, the renovation costs a fortune! Su Ping wants to dig lakes and build bridges on his own land.
Not to mention the other various measures and constructions, just connecting the areas, paving roads, and building special fences to prevent pet beasts from escaping will cost more than the land deeds.
Roughly speaking, just creating the foundation will cost at least 50 million.
Not to mention the even more terrifying pet beast procurement later on! Su Ping wants to make the most of the benefits of the Wood Wolves and purchase some young plant-type pet beasts as a new business venture for the Wood Heart. He also wants to research the breeding and evolution of plant-type pet beasts.
So, buying just one won't be enough, right?
After all, he also needs to consider the improvement of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits.
But after buying the plant-type pet beasts, what about the other expenses?
Even though plant-type pet beasts don't require feeding and food like others, they still need things like Spirit Water.
And all of these things cost money.
This is still for plant-type pet beasts; if he wants to create a large lake and further research and develop aquatic pet beast resources, then it's even more expensive, a sky-high price.
The required consumption and usage will far exceed what a few hundred million can cover.
Currently, the monthly food, tree fruit, and other expenses for his fifty Wood Wolves amount to several hundred thousand.
So, raising a group of pet beasts is indeed not something that an ordinary Beastmaster can afford.
However, Su Ping isn't too worried. He knows that he needs to take it one step at a time and go slowly.
Speaking of which, once they evolve into the Thousand Wood Wolf, they can extract nutrients from sunlight, greatly reducing their need for food, and at most, they'll just chew on a few tree fruits in their free time.
Indeed, it's worthy of being the best evolutionary form!
If only those pet beasts could be like the Thousand Wood Wolf.
Su Ping shook his head, and then his spirits lifted.
His father had already left, and it was time to get his life back on track, improve his strength, and focus on cultivating and developing pet beasts! His current goal is to make money!
Putting aside everything else, he needs to secure the remaining land deeds first!
Su Ping is ready to make a big move.
On the other side, near West Lake Hong and Linzhou City, there is a Legion base.
In an office located in the center of the base, a man in his fifties, with the authority of a General, sits behind a desk.
On his desk and in his hands are several documents.
The content of the documents is simple, detailing the breeding directions and elite breeding lists reported by each division, along with the resources already distributed and their specific allocations.
No detail is left out.
Everything is written clearly, and General Zhao examines each item meticulously.
This is his first major move since taking command of this eastern Linye Ground Force.
He understands the significance of this task.
In recent years, Dragon Country has been at a unique juncture, led by a young but historically rare, formidable ruler.
After ascending to power, he has made bold moves, suppressing many old-guard Beastmaster noble clans and strongly supporting the new wave of Beastmaster Academy schools.
At the same time, he has vigorously rectified the resource allocation issues within the Beastmaster Associations and Cultivator Associations across the country.
And now, the focus shifts to the Beastmaster Corps!
Not delving into the power struggles within the Legion, he has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, sent to take command of the new army, to initiate reforms within the Legion.
The breeders within the Legion have been allocated a large amount of resources, yet they haven't produced results for many years.
As a result, the Beastmasters within the Legion often have weaker combat capabilities compared to those outside.
This situation has clearly left that person dissatisfied.
And so, the grand Legion's elite breeding tournament, which he had orchestrated, began with much fanfare.
The actions of the various divisions also pleased General Zhao. After the announcement to the entire army, it only took a few days for these guys to find their breeding direction and breeders.
"Hmm? Not bad. The 'Pursuing Shadow Leopard' is a Leader Rank racial potential, but what's interesting is that this breeder has a chance to breed the 'Shadow Step' skill."
"Mighty Golden Monkey? This is an extremely powerful Leader Rank peak form, and it's even a mutated form with the potential to break through the Monarch Rank. Good, very good."
General Zhao scanned through the file, nodding as he read, and when something caught his eye, he would also remember the corresponding battalion name, intending to pay close attention to their performance during the tournament.
However, General Zhao soon raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise:
"Those rascals in the Tiger Division have indeed been keeping an eye on the Rock Tiger Regiment. They were just waiting for this order to be announced, huh? Tsk tsk, the Roaring Snow Tiger, a Leader Rank peak form, the Skygliding Tiger with the ability to fly, and the Nether Demon Tiger with Monarch Rank racial potential?"
As expected!
The resources within the Legion, even a slight leak, and those breeders outside couldn't breed anything?
Why keep those useless breeding departments in the Legion that haven't produced results for years? However, judging by this, based solely on this Legion tournament, it seems that the Tiger C Division will be the last one laughing.
Tiger-type pet beasts are indeed stronger than other land-based pet beasts, and they have developed more evolved forms.
He continued flipping through the pages, and just by looking at the breeding directions, General Zhao could analyze a general idea. But suddenly, he paused.
He blinked at the line of text below, momentarily dazed.
It was obvious that he hadn't realized it yet.
The reason was simple. Below that line of text, there was a small line of text that read:
[Wolf Warrior A Division, Wolf Battalion, Battalion Commander: Zhang Lie. Breeding Warriors: Sun Xiao, Gao Hang, Li Da...]
There was nothing special about the ones mentioned above, except that the Wolf Battalion had slightly more breeders, which was normal. He was aware of the previous exercise between the Rock Tiger Regiment and the Wolf Battalion, where the Wolf Battalion suffered a three-to-one battle damage.
General Zhao could guess that Lin Lei, that kid, probably wanted the Wolf Battalion to have a chance to shine, so he trained more people and selected the suitable ones.
However, what surprised him was the line of text below:
[Breeding Direction: Evolution, Skill Breeding. Evolved Form: Thousand Wood Wolf. Skill: Heart of Wood.]
"Thousand Wood Wolf? Never heard of it."
General Zhao thought for a moment and even searched directly on the computer, but still, he couldn't find any information.
Not only was there no information on the market, but even the Legion's internal search yielded no results for this Thousand Wood Wolf.
What kind of evolved form is this?
General Zhao thought for a moment and then took out a thick stack of files, quickly finding the file related to the Wolf Battalion and identifying the required resources and their destination.
"Heart of Wood Breeding Base? In Linzhou City? A brand new, never-before-seen Wolf evolved form? A young breeder who just graduated? An Intermediate Breeder registered with the Jianghai Province Breeder Association? Liu Fu Hai's person?"
General Zhao's pupils constricted; now he was truly intrigued.
The Wolf is one of the most popular pet beasts, and if a new, widely adaptable evolved form appears, it's a huge deal! How could such news not leak out at all?
Either it's still in the confidential stage, or our soldiers have been deceived.
However, the latter possibility is unlikely.
Linzhou City?
At this thought, General Zhao didn't continue reading but instead picked up his phone. Soon, he found a familiar number.
This number belonged to none other than Vice President Liu Fu Hai of the Linzhou City Breeder Association.
Although local breeders and beastmasters had no direct affiliation with the Legion, the two had a close personal relationship.
Previously, Linzhou had never achieved any notable results in breeder competitions.
Now it seems that Vice President Liu has been keeping this Thousand Wood Wolf evolved form a secret, waiting for the right moment to make a big splash.
However, after some thought, General Zhao decided not to call during work hours and instead sent a text message:
"Old Liu, congratulations! You've kept it well hidden! Haha!"
