Chapter 122: Resource Production? A New Industry! The Terrifying Cost of Breeding!
Chapter 122: Resource Production? A New Industry! The Terrifying Cost of Breeding!
The resource that can be produced: Rainbow Coral.
Although the grade of this coral worm is not high, its rarity makes the value of this resource worth at least that of a Leader-level.
It can attract aquatic pet beasts, so I will connect the artificial lake with the Spirit Stream River and take some measures to prevent the arrival of large and powerful pet beasts.
Then, I can set up a fishing project on the artificial lake and charge a fee. Of course, the fish that are caught do not belong to the fisher, after all, the Rainbow Coral attracts aquatic fish pet beasts.
Are these ordinary fish?
At most, the fish caught can be bought back at a discounted market price.
Hey!
One industry can earn double the money, and the most important thing is that this deal may not require any capital!
Su Ping had previously considered the pet beasts in the Botanical Garden, the Undead Basement, and the Forestwolf Pack as potential resources. Although purchasing them would require money, compared to buying aquatic pet beasts from the artificial lake, it's like comparing a small witch to a powerful witch.
Unexpectedly, pet beast trading can also be done without capital?
Although there is a Beastmaster Legion, the connection between the Spirit Stream River and West Dragon Lake will not allow too many pet beasts to pass through.
However, this is in comparison to the entire Jianghai Province and the Spirit Stream River, which runs through both Jianghai and Huaiyang Provinces.
In fact, as one of the main waterways to the sea, how many aquatic pet beasts pass through the Spirit Stream River in a day?
This is impossible to calculate!
Now, with this resource, why would I need to purchase aquatic pet beasts for breeding?
That would be too extravagant.
Once this coral worm is released, it's like a Tang Sanzang's meat for the fish that pass by.
Clearly, Su Ping's gaze was too intense.
Dong Muchun finally snapped out of her excitement and saw Su Ping's fiery gaze, her eyelids twitched:
"Su Ping, you don't need this, do you? Isn't Wood Heart mainly focused on breeding Forestwolves?"
Su Ping chuckled:
"I won't hide it from you. I've already bought the land in Yun Tian, including the land on both sides of the Spirit Stream River and the wasteland five kilometers behind it."
"The land behind Yun Tian is connected to the Spirit Stream River. I was planning to dig out an artificial lake. Why else would I want to clear out the aquatic pet beasts that might have the desire to attack from the Spirit Stream River?"
Dong Muchun pursed her lips:
"The problem is, this Rainbow Coral was discovered by me, and Yun Ying is still down there..."
Su Ping shifted his gaze from the Rainbow Coral in Yun Ying's perspective back to Dong Muchun, blinking:
"But I just said that I've already bought the land deed for this area. According to Article 9 of the Dragon Kingdom's Land Protection Law..."
"..."
Dong Muchun clenched her fist, wishing she could give this guy who was so familiar with the land protection law a good punch.
The land deed again!
The land deed!
Previously, regarding the secret realm, she was constrained by this guy because of the land deed, and now, it's the same thing again.
I hate real estate!
Does Tianyun Corporation want to transform into a real estate company? What if there's some incredible treasure on that land?
No, if that were the case, everyone would be lucky.
It's purely because this guy's luck is off the charts.
Dong Muchun took a deep breath:
"How about this, you've always wanted a Mechanical Core, right? Tianyun Corporation will invest two hundred million and give you a Mechanical Core in exchange. Isn't that enough?"
However, Su Ping shook his head again.
"Your breeding base is so large that even if you create an artificial lake, it can only be a few kilometers in diameter, which is already impressive. Using this coral worm would be a waste!"
Dong Muchun was exasperated.
The distance between Yun Tian and the Spirit Stream River is only a few kilometers.
In this situation, even if Su Ping wants to create an artificial lake, how big can 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 Yun Tian Resort directly to the Spirit Stream River and then extend it southward, forming a large artificial lake in the shape of a Tai Chi symbol with the Spirit Stream River as the dividing line. Conservatively, the diameter is estimated to be over twenty kilometers."
Dong Muchun had no choice.
She sighed helplessly, and Su Ping, seeing Dong Muchun looking exhausted, quickly said:
"Look, we're on the same boat now. You already have a share of Wood Heart's stock, making you the second-largest shareholder after my family!
If Wood Heart becomes stronger, it will be much stronger than Tianyun Corporation. Although you are the chairman of Tianyun Corporation, it's not just you, right? There are many brothers and sisters in the Dong family. What if one of them takes over? Wouldn't you be making a wedding dress for others?"
Su Ping's words made things clear to Dong Muchun.
However, Dong Muchun glared at this cheapskate who was trying to act cute.
Her personal shares in Tianyun Corporation were only five percent, but her father and brother's shares, totaling twenty percent, were in her hands.
Aside from her grandfather's retirement, she was the largest shareholder in the Dong family and the actual person in charge of Tianyun Corporation.
Could it be that Tianyun Corporation's twenty percent shares are worth less than one percent of Wood Heart's?
Nevertheless, Su Ping's words did make Dong Muchun feel a little better.
Dong Muchun hummed lightly but still spoke:
"Since that's the case, do you know how to raise this coral worm and make it work most effectively?"
Su Ping's eyes lit up, and he quickly flattered her:
"I don't know, please teach me, Sister!"
Su Ping wasn't an all-rounder, and he couldn't possibly know everything about various pet beast breeding models.
Moreover, he had never heard of this Rainbow Coral Worm before.
"Tsk tsk, now you're calling me Sister, but unfortunately, I'm this Dong Sister who only knows about money and profits, and I'm afraid I'm not as good as that younger and more beautiful Qin Sister."
Su Ping felt a little embarrassed and rubbed his nose.
Fortunately, Dong Muchun didn't tease him further and said directly:
"To breed this Rainbow Coral Worm, you need to prepare Star Sea Algae, which is the food that this coral worm likes the most.
Next, to ensure that I can approach the Rainbow Coral Bug in the water at any time, and to prevent passing fish from harming it, we need to isolate it."
"Isolate it?"
Su Ping frowned slightly.
If it's isolated, how can the fish use the Rainbow Coral Water that's been exposed to the Rainbow Coral's radiance?
How can they comprehend the so-called Rainbow Aurora under the glow?
How can we continue to attract fish using the Rainbow Coral's halo?
From Dong Muchun's description, Su Ping never considered taming this precious little creature as a Companion Beast.
After all, a Companion Beast with a lifespan of only a few years, you should know that if a Companion Beast's lifespan is extended forcibly after reaching its limit, it will consume the Beastmaster's origin.
Although this Rainbow Coral Bug is precious, it's purely a resource-type Companion Beast and not suitable as a combat-type contracted Companion Beast.
At least in the short term, Su Ping doesn't have this idea.
Since that's the case, if this Rainbow Coral Bug can't provide resources and is isolated, what's the point? Fortunately, Dong Muchun doesn't have the habit of keeping secrets and directly explains with a smile:
"That's right, but the isolation materials are different. We need to use a special material from the Water Elemental family: the Water Element Barrier!"
Su Ping tapped his head.
He was being silly.
In this wondrous world, how can he use the physical knowledge of another world to measure it?
The Water Element Barrier, a special elemental material, is a water-based barrier that can block most physical objects but won't hinder the flow of water.
Many times, it's a special material occasionally used in some water-type Companion Beast enclosures.
However, Su Ping hadn't come across it before, so he hurriedly flashed a fawning smile again and looked at Dong Muchun.
The latter also smiled, her coquettish and charming cheeks like roses, and every smile she gave off made people feel a sense of fear.
As expected, as soon as Dong Muchun opened her mouth, Su Ping felt like the world was collapsing:
"Tianyun Group sells it! It's only 500,000 per square meter! Tianyun Group can help customers customize the desired size and shape, and they provide installation, regular maintenance, and warranty services! Plus, they offer repairs in case of damage."
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first to publish this novel.
Su Ping's vision went dark.
500,000 doesn't sound like much.
But that's just the price per square meter!
Not to mention, the size of the Rainbow Coral Bug, including the connected coral, is already over ten meters wide. But at that time, they couldn't really leave the Rainbow Coral Bug with no space, could they?
Otherwise, how could it continue to secrete Rainbow Coral?
This is a resource and material!
It's the only resource material that his Heart of Wood can currently see actively producing!
Therefore, according to Dong Muchun's words, not to mention anything else, just considering the length and width, one side would need to be twenty meters long.
Adding up the four sides of the square, it's a total of eighty square meters of planar area.
So, not considering the height, surrounding the Rainbow Coral with a one-meter Water Element Barrier would cost a whopping 40 million!
But how could they not consider the height?
The secreted coral still needs to grow on mud or rocks in symbiosis.
Therefore, stacking the Water Element Barrier from the bottom of the lake, if the artificial lake is ten meters deep, then based on the 40 million, multiplying by ten, it's a staggering 400 million! 400 million!
And that's just for a ten-meter height.
In fact, if they calculate based on the excavation of that artificial lake, with the Spirit Stream River in the center, which is the current position of the Rainbow Coral Bug, using the Water Element Barrier from the Spirit Stream River to the bottom of the riverbed, it's almost a hundred meters...
4 billion? Su Ping felt his vision darken.
Dong Muchun had obviously anticipated this reaction and smiled at Su Ping.
Su Ping smiled awkwardly:
"That... "
"This is already a discounted price! You know, our Tianyun Group's products are expensive for a reason. If you buy this material elsewhere, they'll just install it and leave you to deal with any future problems! If any accidents happen later and the Water Element Barrier gets damaged, our Tianyun Group offers a 20-year warranty and replacement!"
Indeed, after Dong Muchun's explanation, the high price seemed reasonable.
However, what's with this woman's tone?
Su Ping clenched his fists! Money is a hero's courage, and gold is a man's pride! Indeed, a man can't live without money.
So, Su Ping thought for a moment and asked:
"A man's knees are golden, can I use the gold under my knees to exchange for cash?"
Dong Muchun smiled and said:
"I have no use for that, and I'm afraid that Miss Qin and I might fight to the death later. But there is something that can be exchanged!"
"Oh?"
Su Ping's eyes lit up.
"For example, a further share of the Heart of Wood!"
At this moment, Dong Muchun's smile seemed like that of a fox wagging its tail.
Unfortunately, Su Ping didn't fall for it and looked at this woman with caution:
"No way! Just a 1% gesture is enough!"
1% of the shares is what Su Ping used to form a certain alliance with this woman. If it goes any further, it's a different story, and Su Ping naturally refused without hesitation.
Even if it could be recovered, Su Ping didn't want to take this risk.
Dong Muchun wasn't bothered and shrugged:
"Then there's no way!"
Su Ping sighed and felt a bit troubled.
Money, money.
Why is it that even though he already has the Dragon Slaying Technique, and his money-making speed far exceeds the imagination of other breeders, not only does the money seem to be less and less, but the hole seems to be getting bigger and bigger? Dong Muchun wasn't in a hurry.
She smiled as she watched Su Ping rack his brains to figure out how to make money.
It was clear that Dong Muchun wasn't in a hurry, but at this moment, something was.
Under the Spirit Stream River.
Yun Ying, transformed into an underwater robot form, scratched her bald head with her mechanically intelligent hands,
Her mechanical eyes, shining like searchlights, looked a bit lost.
What was her master doing?
She was still soaking in the water.
At this moment, as a mechanical life form, Yun Ying also felt the surroundings were dark and lonely.
It's less than 16,000 words again. Finally, the extra chapter is done. It's so tiring.
