Chapter 122: Resource Production? A New Industry! The Terrifying Breeding Cost!



Resource Production: Rainbow Coral.

Although the grade of this coral worm is not exceptionally high, its rarity makes the value of this resource worth at least the Commander Rank level.

It can attract aquatic pet beasts, so I will connect the artificial lake to the Spirit Stream River and implement some measures to prevent large and powerful pet beasts from entering.

Then, I can start a fishing project on the artificial lake and charge a fee. That's not too much, right? Of course, fishing is one thing, but the fish caught won't belong to the fisherman, after all, these are aquatic pet beasts attracted by the rainbow coral.

Are these ordinary fish?

At most, I can offer to buy them back at a discounted market price from whoever catches them.

Hey!

One industry, two streams of income, and most importantly, this might be a deal without any capital investment!

Su Ping had been thinking about it before. The plants in the botanical garden, the undead in the basement, and the wolf pack in the Forest Wolf area all require money to purchase, but compared to the cost of buying aquatic pet beasts for the artificial lake, it's like comparing a drop in the bucket.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that the pet beast business can also be capital-free?

Although the Beastmaster Legion is present, there won't be too many pet beasts coming in and out of the connection between the Spirit Stream River and West Dragon Lake.

But compared to the entire Jianghai Province, and the Lingxi River that runs through both Jianghai and Huaiyang Provinces, how many pet beasts are there?

It's impossible to count!

And now, with this coral worm, why would I need to buy aquatic pet beasts for breeding?

That would be too extravagant.

Once this coral worm is like a piece of meat that attracts countless fish.

Clearly, Su Ping's gaze was burning with desire.

Dong Muchun finally snapped out of her excitement and noticed Su Ping's intense gaze, her eyelids twitching: "Su Ping, you probably don't need this, right? Isn't Mu Xin Corporation mainly focused on the Wolf Pack breeding industry?"

Su Ping chuckled: "To be honest, I've already bought the land where Cloud Heaven Resort is located, along with the banks of the Spirit Stream River on both sides, and that abandoned mountain five kilometers away.

The land behind Cloud Heaven Resort connects to the Spirit Stream River. I was planning to dig an artificial lake there. Otherwise, why would I bother clearing out the aquatic pet beasts that might have aggressive tendencies from the river?"

Dong Muchun's eyes flickered as she recalled the rainbow coral in the perspective of Yun Tian. She clenched her fists in frustration, wishing she could punch this scoundrel who knew the Land Protection Law like the back of her hand.

The land deed again!

The land deed, once more!

Previously, regarding the Mystic Realm, she had been restrained by this scoundrel, and now, it was because of this broken land deed.

It's not like there's something extraordinary on that land, right?

It's purely this scoundrel's outrageous luck.

Dong Muchun took a deep breath: "Alright, you've always wanted a Mechanical Core, right? Tianyun Corporation is willing to invest two hundred million and offer a Mechanical Core in exchange. Surely that's enough?"

But Su Ping shook his head again.

"Even with such a large breeding base, if you create an artificial lake, it might only be a few square kilometers. Using this coral worm would be a waste of resources!"

Dong Muchun was exasperated.

The distance between Cloud Heaven Resort and the Spirit Stream River was only a few kilometers.

In this situation, even if Su Ping wanted to create an artificial lake, how big could it be?

Su Ping didn't even blink: "I've changed my mind. I've decided to expand the scale of the artificial lake. I'll connect the area behind Cloud Heaven Resort directly to the Spirit Stream River and then extend it southward, forming a large artificial lake in the shape of a Taiji, with the river as the dividing line. Conservatively, it should be over twenty kilometers in diameter."

Dong Muchun was at a loss.

She sighed helplessly, and Su Ping, seeing her exhausted, quickly added: "Look, we're in this together. You have shares in Mu Xin Corporation, making you the second-largest shareholder after my family.

If Mu Xin Corporation becomes powerful, won't it be much stronger than Tianyun Corporation? You're the chairman of Tianyun Corporation, but it's not just you, right? What if one of your many siblings in the Dong family takes over? Wouldn't you be making a contribution to others?"

Su Ping's words made things clear.

Dong Muchun glared at this scoundrel who was taking advantage of the situation.

Her shares in Tianyun Corporation were indeed only five percent, but her father and brother's shares, totaling twenty percent, were in her hands.

Aside from her grandfather's decision to step down, she was the largest shareholder in the Dong family and the actual leader of Tianyun Corporation.

Could it be that Tianyun Corporation's twenty percent shares are worth less than one percent of Mu Xin Corporation's shares?

However, Su Ping's words did make Dong Muchun feel a little better.

Dong Muchun huffed but continued: "Since that's the case, do you know how to raise this coral worm? How will you manage it?"

Su Ping didn't blink: "I've changed my mind. I've decided to expand the scale of the artificial lake. I'll connect the area behind Cloud Heaven Resort directly to the Spirit Stream River and then extend it southward, forming a large artificial lake in the shape of a Taiji, with the river as the dividing line. Conservatively, it should be over twenty kilometers in diameter."

Dong Muchun was speechless.

She sighed helplessly, and Su Ping, seeing her exhausted, quickly added: "Look, we're in this together. You have shares in Mu Xin Corporation, making you the second-largest shareholder after my family.

If Mu Xin Corporation becomes powerful, won't it be much stronger than Tianyun Corporation? You're asking too much. I can't do this."

Su Ping's eyes lit up to this point, my partner."

"I know, but listen," Su Ping said, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I've already bought the land deed for the entire area, including the Spirit Stream River banks and that abandoned mountain. According to the Dragon Kingdom's Land Protection Law, Article 9, I have the right to manage and utilize the resources within this area.

This coral worm will attract aquatic pet beasts, and I can use them for breeding. It's a win-win situation. I'll even offer to buy back the pet beasts you catch at a discounted price. It's a fair deal."

Dong Muchun's fists tightened as she listened, her frustration evident.

"Fine," she relented. "I'll make a deal with you. Tianyun Corporation will invest two hundred million and provide a Mechanical Core in exchange for this coral worm. Is that acceptable?"

Su Ping shook his head, his eyes unwavering.

"I've changed my mind. I've decided to expand the scale of the artificial lake. I'll connect the area behind Cloud Heaven Resort directly to the Spirit Stream River and then extend it southward, forming a large artificial lake in the shape of a Taiji, with the river as the dividing line. Conservatively, it should be over twenty kilometers in diameter."

Dong Muchun was rendered speechless.

She sighed helplessly, and Su Ping, seeing her exhausted, quickly added: "This is a great opportunity for both of us. With your shares in Mu Xin Corporation, you're the second-largest shareholder after my family.

If Mu Xin Corporation thrives, it will be much stronger than Tianyun Corporation. You're the chairman of Tianyun Corporation, but it's not just about you. What if one of your siblings takes over? You'd be helping others more than yourself."

Su Ping's words made Dong Muchun realize the potential benefits.

She huffed but relented, "Alright, I'll agree to your terms. But I want to know, how will you manage this coral worm and the pet beasts it attracts?"

Su Ping smiled, "To breed this coral worm, we'll need to prepare Star Sea Algae, its favorite food.

Secondly, in order to ensure constant proximity to the Rainbow Coral Worm in the water and prevent harm to it from passing fish, it needs to be isolated."

"Isolated?"

Su Ping frowned slightly.

If isolated, how can the fish utilize the Rainbow Water imbued with the Rainbow Coral's radiance?

How can one comprehend the so-called Rainbow Aurora under the illumination of its glow?

How can the fish continue to be attracted by the Rainbow Coral's halo?

From Dong Muchun's description, Su Ping never considered taming this precious little creature as a Pet Beast.

After all, a Pet Beast with a lifespan of only a few years, you should know, once the Pet Beast's lifespan is reached, if you forcefully extend its life, it will consume the Beastmaster's origin.

Although the Rainbow Coral Worm is precious, it is purely a resource-type Pet Beast, unsuitable for combat-type contracts.

At least, Su Ping didn't have this idea in the short term.

Since it's like this, what's the point of isolating the Rainbow Coral Worm if it can't provide resources? Fortunately, Dong Muchun didn't have the habit of keeping secrets and directly explained with a smile:

"That's right, but the isolation materials are different. You need to use a special Water Elemental material: the Water Elemental Barrier!"

Su Ping knocked on his head.

He himself was a little drunkenness and sex.

The pole dancer was a little bit of a surprise.

The pole dancer's body was extremely soft and flexible, and the dance moves were even more unique.

Su Ping was a little speechless.

This...

"This is a special material, an Elemental Barrier that can block most objects, but it won't hinder the flow of water. It's often used in some Water Beast facilities from time to time."

Su Ping tapped his head.

He was being silly too.

In this wondrous world, how could he measure it with the physical knowledge of the old world?

The Water Elemental Barrier, a special Elemental material, a water-based barrier that can block most physical objects but won't impede the flow of water.

Many times, some Water Beast facilities occasionally use this special material.

However, Su Ping hadn't come across it before, so he quickly flashed a flattering smile again, looking at Dong Muchun.

The latter also smiled, her face as alluring as a rose, and every time she smiled, it made people feel a sense of fear.

As expected, as soon as Dong Muchun opened her mouth, Su Ping felt what it meant to have the heavens collapse:

"Tianyun Corporation sells it! One square meter is only 500,000, and Tianyun Corporation can help customers customize the desired shape and size. Plus, there's a 20-year warranty for maintenance and repairs after purchase!"

Su Ping's vision went dark.

500,000 doesn't sound like a lot.

But that's just the price for one square meter!

Not to mention the size of the Rainbow Coral Worm, including the connected coral, which is already over ten meters wide. But if they don't leave any space for the Rainbow Coral Worm, how can it continue to secrete the Rainbow Coral?

This is a resource and material!

It's the only resource material that his Heart of Wood can currently see, actively producing it!

Therefore, according to Dong Muchun's words, without considering other factors, just the length and width alone, one side would require twenty meters.

Four sides of a square add up to eighty square meters of surface area.

So, not considering the height, enclosing the Rainbow Coral with a one-meter Water Elemental Barrier would cost a whopping 40 million!

But how could he not consider the height?

The secreted coral needs to be attached to mud or rocks for symbiosis.

So, stacking the Water Elemental Barrier from the bottom of the water to the desired height, if Su Ping's artificial lake is ten meters deep, then based on the 40 million, it would be 400 million multiplied by ten, which is a staggering 400 million!

400 million!

And this is just for a ten-meter height.

In fact, if calculated based on the excavation of the artificial lake, with Spirit Stream River at its center, which is the current location of the Rainbow Coral Worm, using the Water Elemental Barrier from the riverbed to the bottom of the river would be nearly a hundred meters...

4 billion?

Su Ping's vision darkened.

Dong Muchun had obviously anticipated this reaction and smiled at Su Ping.

Su Ping smiled awkwardly:

"Um..."

"This is already a discounted price! You know, our Tianyun Corporation's products are worth the price. If you buy this material elsewhere, they'll just set it up and then leave you to your own devices! If there's any unexpected damage to the Water Elemental Barrier later, Tianyun Corporation offers a 20-year warranty and replacement service!"

Indeed, as Dong Muchun explained, the price seemed to have its reasons.

However, Su Ping was annoyed by her tone.

Su Ping clenched his fists! Money is the hero's courage, and gold is the man's strength! As expected, a man can't do without money.

So, Su Ping thought for a moment and asked:

"Can I use the gold under my knees as a down payment?"

Dong Muchun smiled slyly:

"I have no use for that, and I'm afraid Qin Daji will fight me to the death. But there's something else that can be used!"

"Oh?"

Su Ping's eyes lit up.

"For example, a further stake in the Heart of Wood!"

Dong Muchun, with her radiant smile, seemed like a fox wagging its tail.

Unfortunately, Su Ping wasn't fooled and looked at her guardedly:

"No way! Just a 1% stake is enough!"

A 1% stake is what Su Ping used to form an alliance with this woman. If it went further, it would be different, so Su Ping naturally refused.

Even if it could be recovered, Su Ping didn't want to take this risk.

Dong Muchun wasn't disappointed and shrugged:

"Then there's no way!"

Su Ping sighed, feeling a bit weary.

Money, money.

Why, despite already having the Dragon Slaying Technique and earning money at a much faster rate than other breeders could imagine, was money becoming increasingly hard to spend, and why were the expenses growing even larger?

Dong Muchun wasn't in a hurry.

She smiled slyly at Su Ping, who was racking his brains to figure out how to make money.

However, it was clear that Dong Muchun wasn't in a rush, but at that moment, something else was.

Under the Spirit Stream River.

Yun Ying, having transformed into her underwater mecha form, used her awakened mechanical intelligence to control her arms, scratching her bald head,

her mechanical eyes, shining like searchlights, showed a hint of bewilderment.

What was her master doing?

It was so dark and lonely beside her.

Nearly 16,000 words, what a tiring extra chapter!
