Chapter 11: Renting Companion Beasts? The Path to Wealth!
Chapter 11: Renting Companion Beasts? The Path to Wealth!
Ding-dong~
Ding-dong~
Ding-dong~
The doorbell of the Heart of Wood's main entrance rang out.
Half a day had passed, and not only was there no one to answer the door, but there wasn't even a hint of footsteps within the base.
A middle-aged man stood under the scorching sun in front of the door, gazing at the motionless entrance and occasionally catching a whiff of the strange odors emanating from the courtyard, his teeth grinding in frustration.
What was this Little Ancestor up to at home?
The visitor was none other than Manager Guan from the neighboring Cloud Heaven Companion Beast Training Base.
The day before, his company's chairman had instructed him to personally invite this Little Ancestor to discuss the matter of renting the Forest Wolf.
As a result, Manager Guan had been standing at the door for an entire morning, and aside from the occasional wafts of peculiar odors coming from the base, he hadn't even caught a glimpse of anyone!
However, before the chairman's arrival, Manager Guan had been living a carefree life, and when he had free time, he would even come over to chat and pass the time with Su An Yong.
But ever since this Queen had arrived, Manager Guan hadn't dared to slack off even a bit.
Even though he had been standing here for an entire morning, as long as he knew Su Ping was at home, he couldn't leave without completing his task.
He was all too aware of the chairman's temperament.
Consequently, Manager Guan had been ringing the doorbell for a full three hours.
Not only had he missed lunch, but he hadn't even had a sip of water.
Finally, under Manager Guan's expectant gaze, rapid footsteps could be heard from behind the door.
Bang!
The door, seemingly separating two worlds, finally opened to Manager Guan.
However, before Manager Guan could look at the Little Ancestor, whom he had met a few times, with tearful eyes, a wave of foul odor swept over him, causing him to subconsciously retreat a few steps.
Braving the eye-stinging stench, Manager Guan turned to Su Ping, who looked somewhat innocent.
Why are you wearing a gas mask on such a hot day? What are you researching at home?
Could it be some sort of bio-weapon? In fact, the smell did resemble one.
"Uncle Guan, what brings you here?"
"What have you been up to? It took you half a day to open the door; I was about to call your father."
Manager Guan couldn't hold back his complaint.
Su Ping scratched his head.
What else could he be doing? Of course, he was continuing to make sorcery elixirs.
After witnessing Little Qing's growth and progress, as well as the efforts of Little Dot, Su Ping, as the master, naturally couldn't let them down.
Little Dot was the name of the weakest Forest Wolf.
Now, after another day of hard work, he had finally placed three new bottles of the Heart of Wood sorcery elixir into the low-temperature refrigerator.
Before he could even remove his equipment, he became aware of the doorbell ringing.
"Is there something you need?"
With the overwhelming stench, Manager Guan also lost his desire to go inside and have a good chat with Su Ping, and he spoke directly, "Recently, we've been short on training beasts at the training ground. How about your Forest Wolves? We can negotiate the price!"
When it came to business, Manager Guan's expression turned serious.
"Uncle Guan, are you looking to rent or buy?"
Su Ping trusted Manager Guan's words.
The Dragon Kingdom Beastmaster Association and official entities had clear regulations stating that beastmasters were not allowed to engage in beast battles in public places unless under special circumstances.
If public facilities or the natural environment were damaged as a result, beastmasters would face imprisonment ranging from 7 to 15 days, depending on the severity. In more serious cases, the punishment would be increased according to the circumstances.
Unless it was a private battle, but companion beast battle skills were diverse and unique, and ordinary people truly lacked the means to do so.
Therefore, companion beast training battlefields were quite lucrative businesses, and they naturally required companion beasts for paid sparring and practice matches.
Manager Guan sighed, "Su, we're really sincere. In this suburban area, only Cloud Heaven would be willing to spend such a large sum to buy this plot of land. There are no other buyers."
But Su Ping merely smiled.
Looking at the young man before him, Manager Guan felt helpless. Why did he get the feeling that this kid was even more difficult to deal with than his slick old man? "Alright, let's sit down and discuss this properly when we have time. Cloud Heaven is truly sincere. Let's talk about the Wolf rental first. Your father has worked with us before. A standard Wolf rental is 300 yuan per day, and each Beast Battle, regardless of victory or defeat, is 500 yuan. As for Elite Rank, the minimum is 1,000 yuan per day, and the Beast Battle price is the same. Of course, each Wolf will be insured..."
However, before Manager Guan could finish, Su Ping interrupted, "Uncle Guan, I really don't have time today. How about this, in a few days, if you don't look for me, I'll come to you for this great opportunity. I'll personally visit you, is that okay?"
Seeing Su Ping's beaming smile and his full set of gear, as well as the foul odor emanating from the Heart of Wood, Manager Guan, who had waited for over three hours, could only nod.
After wasting an entire afternoon and not even getting a single hair's worth of deal done, Manager Guan could already imagine the fury of his boss upon his return.
However, Su Ping truly didn't have the leisure to worry about others.
After closing the main door, he returned to his living room, took a shower, and while stroking Xiao Qing, he fell into deep thought.
Make money!
This was indeed the most pressing matter at hand.
The reason was simple; the Heart of Wood did have some resources.
There were some leftover materials from the previous potion-making session, but only enough for four batches.
Today, they had used up everything.
And to make the 'Heart of Wood' potion again, he needed to figure out a way to earn money.
Manager Guan was indeed quite generous; this price was indeed quite reasonable.
The demand for ordinary and elite training beasts was high, and this price was indeed very attractive.
Su Ping was already content. After all, to properly train the Forest Wolves, he needed to engage in Beast Battles to solidify his foundation.
Others paying him to use his beasts for training was like finding free sparring partners and earning money at the same time. No one would refuse such a good deal.
But it still wasn't enough!
Even at cost price, a single batch of the Heart of Wood potion required over 200,000 yuan for various expenses.
If he were to earn money solely by renting out beasts, it would take a long time to accumulate enough for the Heart of Wood potions for the current two dozen Forest Wolves.
However, with the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits in his mind, Su Ping couldn't wait and didn't want to wait that long.
The problem was, how could he get such a large sum of money?
Indeed, it was true that the pen was mightier than the sword, but in this world, when it came to Beastmastery, there was no such thing as a free lunch!
And to cultivate an exceptional Beastmaster, countless resources were required, like a river of money flowing endlessly.
Su Ping fell into deep thought, pondering how to earn this money.
