Chapter 139: Xiao Qing's Cultivation? The Benefits of Military Rank!
Chapter 139: Xiao Qing's Cultivation? The Benefits of Military Rank!
Two days ago, when it came to Su An Yong's words, Rong Qiu only wanted to give him a disdainful look.
Regardless of their identities, just talking about age, was she at an age suitable to be this brat's godmother?
Being a stepmother would have been acceptable. But that old fool would only be good for flattery.
However, at this moment, Rong Qiu suddenly felt that age might not be as important as she once thought.
Therefore, after finishing her business, she didn't rush back to Northern Origin Province but instead hurried to the Heart of Wood without delay.
As for Su Ping, he blinked, looking at the black-clad woman in front of him with a mischievous smile.
For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Could it be that his old man wasn't just pulling his leg?
The woman his old man mentioned as his stepmother, did she really exist?
In truth, Su Ping had never believed a single word Su An Yong said.
But now, suddenly, out of the blue, a woman he'd never seen before appeared, and Su Ping was genuinely taken aback.
"Um, do you know my father?"
Rong Qiu smiled and nodded:
"Of course I do, and our relationship is beyond your imagination~"
This woman looked completely different from when she was in the legion. She winked at Su Ping, revealing a knowing expression.
Su Ping fell silent.
Indeed, those close to the wise become wise, and those close to the foolish become foolish.
What could a woman who knew his father possibly be up to?
To be fair, if given the choice, Su Ping would prefer to spend time with a beautiful woman.
But spending time with a woman whose intentions were unclear and whose relationship with his father was ambiguous made him even miss Dong Muchun.
So, he cut straight to the chase:
"Then, do you have something to discuss with me?"
Rong Qiu clicked her tongue, sensing Su Ping's wariness, and nodded in satisfaction: "No wonder Su An Yong left with such peace of mind. I'm here this time for a matter your father entrusted to me..."
She paused before continuing: "How is that mutated Poison-type Wolf Beast of yours doing now?"
Even this, she knew?
It seemed she hadn't been lying.
Su Ping's guard slightly lowered.
These past two days, Xiao Qing had been in the Beastmaster's Space.
Su Ping hadn't left her idle; during his time in the legion, he had her help him plant sunflower seeds in the Beastmaster's Space.
"Hehehe, that's enough. Being cautious is a good thing, but being overly cautious all the time can hinder emotional exchanges."
Su Ping didn't know what emotional exchanges he could have with this woman who wanted to be his godmother, so he sighed, "It's going well. She's at the Elite Second Stage, and I estimate it won't be long before she breaks through to the Elite Third Stage."
Rong Qiu nodded:
"When that little one was sent away from my Rong family, I paid close attention. Finding a good home like yours for her is her luck. Talking to you, you little brat, is less interesting than talking to Su An Yong.
Since that's the case, I'll be direct. Your father has entrusted me with a task for the Rong family, which is to find and complete the evolution and cultivation of your mutated Poison-type Little Wolf. The Rong family specializes in cultivating and evolving various Poison-type Beasts."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's eyebrows rose.
So, Xiao Qing's origins were connected to this woman?
Or was she sent from that Rong family?
And now, the old man wanted this Rong family to conveniently complete Xiao Qing's evolution and cultivation?
This was what the old man meant by a stepmother and a gift.
But Su Ping wasn't excited; instead, he frowned and asked, "What conditions did Su An Yong promise you?"
Rong Qiu shrugged and smiled, "That's not something for a little guy like you to worry about!"
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed even more:
"If I don't need the Rong family's help and research Xiao Qing's evolution and cultivation myself, does Su An Yong still have to fulfill the conditions?"
If it were before, Rong Qiu would have dismissed such words without a second thought.
Beast cultivation, especially evolutionary cultivation, isn't as easy as it sounds; otherwise, every breeder would be one.
This is especially true for Poison-type breeders.
While there are many foundational Poison-type Beasts, evolved ones are the rarest among all attribute Beasts.
After all, Poison-type cultivation often directly threatens the Beast's life.
However, regarding the Su Ping before her, Rong Qiu had no doubts.
The scene that unfolded in the legion earlier was enough to leave a lasting impression on Rong Qiu for the rest of her life.
The young Beastmaster before her was indeed qualified to make such a statement.
But Rong Qiu shook her head helplessly:
"Xiao Ping, many things aren't as simple as you think, but rest assured, your father won't be in any life-threatening danger."
To be honest, Rong Qiu's words did make Su Ping feel slightly relieved.
Although he didn't know what this woman did, as the person involved, she wouldn't have any reason to deceive him about such matters.
Rong Qiu winked:
"So, does Master Su still want to research the cultivation and evolution of that mutated Poison-type Forest Wolf himself?"
Su Ping pursed his lips:
"How can you and your so-called Rong family help me?"
If someone was eager to help, refusing them and doing it alone would be foolish.
Since Su An Yong had already paved the way, Su Ping wasn't the type to refuse his parents' help out of stubbornness, using their connections, influence, or money to claim that he was independent and self-reliant.
Rong Qiu smiled slightly, "There's no need to rush this. In any case, the mutated Forest Wolf's rank must first reach the Elite Eighth Stage or higher. In the meantime, I'll share some of my Frostwater Wolf cultivation experiences with you. It's also a Poison-type transformed Snow Wolf."
Frostwater Wolf!
To be honest, during his time in the legion, Su Ping had been quite impressed by Rong Qiu's Frostwater Wolf.
The Poison-type Cold Fog is another large-scale, damaging control-type beast with high offensive capabilities.
It can fight until the very end and even managed to sneak into the top five.
While tactics and strategy played a role, there's no denying that the Frostwater Wolf's inherent strength was more than sufficient.
However, directly sharing the experience of breeding an evolved beast? Su Ping glanced at Rong Qiu.
Such generosity?
Any breeder's experience, even if it's not a complete breeding method, is still the culmination of a breeder's hard work. One can learn a lot from it.
Is she really being so unreasonable?
Clearly, Rong Qiu couldn't comprehend the meaning behind Su Ping's gaze.
She didn't linger either.
Taking out a small booklet from within the Beastmaster's Space, she handed it to Su Ping and then left the Heart of Wood Breeding Base with a wave of his hand.
Rong Qiu didn't even waste time, heading straight to the airport in the suburbs. While waiting, she opened her phone and dialed a number after some thought.
"Hello, Qiuqiu, what's up?"
"I talked to Su Ping about breeding."
"..."
Su An Yong on the other end of the line fell silent, his earlier laughter gone.
"When will you stop being so impulsive?"
Su An Yong finally spoke with some exasperation.
"It's fine. Your son's first concern was about your well-being."
"You..."
"Don't worry, I understand the rules."
Rong Qiu scoffed:
"Initially, because of your close relationship with me and my family, you were brought out of that broken place. Now, you're being made an instructor for a new squad, all because of Rong Family's surrender, which reassured those people. But then, feeling guilty about the past, you want to compensate again."
"Enough, some things are better left unsaid. Now, at your age, you're becoming more and more uncontrollable with your words?"
Su An Yong was getting impatient, but Rong Qiu didn't seem to mind:
"By the way, what's the name of this new squad, and what's its main focus?"
Su An Yong was at a loss, and even Su Ping was easier to deal with than Rong Qiu.
"It's not finalized yet. For now, it's primarily focused on Necromantic types, with an emphasis on versatility and adaptability to various extreme environments. Also, this is the last time I'm discussing this with you. Don't bring it up again."
"Pfft, I don't even want to know."
"By the way, is the legion's competition over? How did it go?"
Su An Yong couldn't help but ask.
How did it go? Rong Qiu once again recalled the scene she witnessed that morning and the event that unfolded. She sighed:
"First, Honorary Major, First-Class Merit."
"What?!?"
Su An Yong's voice rose in surprise.
However, Rong Qiu had anticipated this reaction and had already moved the phone away from her ear.
"Has the Eastern Legion gone mad? Honorary Major? First-Class Merit? Is that General Zhao trying to make my son his son-in-law or grandson-in-law?"
"Who knows, but Su Ping deserves this First-Class Merit."
"Oh? Why?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you. Well, I have to board now, so I can't chat."
"..."
"By the way, does your offer to be Su Ping's godmother still stand?"
"Huh?"
"Call ended..."
...
Rong Qiu's visit left Su Ping with no time to fully appreciate his recent gains.
Through their interaction, Su Ping further confirmed that Su An Yong's identity was indeed as he had suspected.
However, this also reassured him about the safety of his father, allowing Su Ping to relax.
After settling down, Su Ping began to inspect his recent acquisitions.
The 10,000 battle valor points required no explanation. It was common knowledge that even the price of a Sun Crystal in the legion's internal website was only 1,100 battle valor points.
No mistake, this was a significant resource.
Moreover, these battle valor points could be exchanged for resources that could be sold externally.
A monarch-level material, when sold externally, could fetch tens of millions, possibly even hundreds of millions.
While using battle valor points to exchange for resources that could be sold for money was somewhat inappropriate.
However, with their current financial situation, they had no other choice.
Su Ping's eyes quickly scanned the legion's resource supply, and he soon discovered that for higher-level resources, battle valor points were not the only requirement.
But this wasn't an issue for Su Ping.
After all, he had a First-Class Merit and a Third-Class Merit.
For such resources, the legion's resource supply had two distinctions.
One distinction required a certain number of merit points to unlock.
The other distinction was even more precious, requiring merit points to exchange for resources.
Of course, using merit points to exchange for resources didn't mean they would disappear; they merely transformed into honors and achievements.
Su Ping thought for a moment and then began searching within the legion's resource supply.
He hadn't known the names of high-level materials before this.
The legion's resource supply was also somewhat cumbersome, lacking a direct product list for high-level resources, which could only be viewed by searching for their names.
However, after experiencing the Capital of the Dead Sword King's secret realm, Su Ping had seen a bit of the world.
So, in the search bar, Su Ping typed one of the only two Holy Spirit Rank resource names he knew:
"Sword Intent Primordial: Special Holy Spirit Rank resource, produced in Holy Spirit Rank Sword-type beasts. There's a 30% chance that when such a beast falls, a Sword Intent Primordial remnant will appear. An extremely precious Holy Spirit Rank resource, usable by beasts, greatly enhancing their understanding of sword skills.
【Talent Effect: When a Beastmaster reaches a certain rank, there is a certain probability of comprehending the spatial characteristics of swords, as well as the birth of random sword-type resources as a foundation.】
【Exchange Requirements: The Beastmaster's rank must be at the Intermediate General Rank, or they can use two First-Class Merits or three Second-Class Merits to obtain the qualification for this exchange, consuming 300,000 Battle Valor Points.】
Su Ping pursed his lips.
He decisively closed the Legion's website.
Regardless of the rank, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him for the rest of his life.
Two First-Class Merits and three Second-Class Merits were required to unlock the corresponding exchange qualifications.
And in the end, it still required 300,000 Battle Valor Points?
Su Ping took a look, and his monthly Battle Valor Points were 650 points.
For a year's worth of Battle Valor Points, the fixed salary was only around 8,000 points.
So, even with the rank and merits, to exchange this Sword Intent Primordial, one would still need to accumulate three to four decades?
Is this a Holy Spirit Rank resource?
Su Ping felt that exploring the secret realm was more reliable and had a better chance.
After all, apart from the rank and merits, this Honorary Lieutenant rank was already something that ordinary people couldn't easily obtain.
As for taking the next step, it seemed that one could only rely on that Special Beastmaster Corps' Breeder.
Su Ping shook his head, not wanting to continue with unrealistic thoughts.
Instead, he looked towards the Honorary Lieutenant rank and the merits' social benefits.
The more he looked, the brighter Su Ping's eyes became, and the more excited his expression grew.
Previously, his old man had told him about the benefits of the Honorary rank, and now it seemed that his old man had not deceived him!
In an instant, the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.
Su Ping stood up abruptly:
"Uncle Guan!"
Uncle Guan's figure had already disappeared.
It was estimated that there were still some matters to attend to at the base.
Su Ping was not in a hurry. He walked through his base and arrived at the resort area. Just as he stepped into the central building, he almost collided with another figure.
Dong Muchun looked at the excited Su Ping:
"Hey? You're back? What's the rush?"
Why was this woman still here?
However, it was just right.
Su Ping looked towards Dong Muchun, who was clearly about to leave:
"Are you going to the city center?"
Dong Muchun nodded.
"Perfect, take me with you! I also have some matters to attend to."
"..."
After getting into Dong Muchun's car, Su Ping looked around and clicked his tongue:
"No wonder you usually use the Cloud Sakura to fly around. Your car is really not good, huh?"
Dong Muchun gave this brat a sideways glance but didn't bother to argue. These past few days, she had heard that he went to the Legion, but she didn't know what was going on?
"Since you're going to the city center today, why don't you fly there?"
Dong Muchun glanced at him again.
What could she say?
Could she say that during this time, she had been flying around so much that the Beastmaster Association had marked her, and the Air Traffic Control had deducted all her flight license points and even fined her over 100,000 points?
"It's so late, where are you going in Linzhou? What's the matter?"
Dong Miss chose to change the topic.
"The bank! To withdraw money!"
Su Ping immediately became extremely excited!
Money!
He was finally going to have money?
In the past half a month, in order to train the Legion's few guys in the Thousand Wood Wolf, he had even postponed some of the Heart of Wood's business.
If not for Dong Muchun's sponsorship of one hundred million, many matters at the Heart of Wood would have come to a halt.
And now, he was finally going to see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Dong Muchun looked at him with a strange expression, seeing his excitement.
Money?
Was it that the Legion would pay him for his services? He had never heard of such a thing before.
It should be known that before this person took charge of the Legion's rectification, the Dong Family also had some influence within the Legion, and they were somewhat informed about the Legion's situation.
Could this be some details of the Legion's reform?
Dong Muchun asked with interest:
"Okay, which bank?"
Dong Muchun blinked and looked at this little rascal, but in order to satisfy her curiosity and also to investigate and understand the inside story of this Legion's reform, she nodded:
"Alright, let's go to the Jianghai Bank, then the Dongfang Bank. Let's go to both, shall we? The Cultivation Bank and the Beastmaster Bank?"
"Yes, let's go to both!"
Dong Muchun nodded and decisively took on the role of a driver, little sister, and assistant secretary.
Not long after, she smiled and said:
"Should I directly call the Vice President of Tianyun to receive us?"
Su Ping nodded, not wanting to miss out on a good opportunity:
"Okay."
Tianyun was a major group company in the entire Jianghai Province, and even in the eastern region of the Dragon Nation. No matter when, any reception by them was always top-notch.
A phone call was made, and even if the Vice President was still at a banquet, he was summoned by Dong Muchun's phone call.
Twenty minutes later, at the local Jianghai Bank in Jianghai Province, the two of them got off the car.
The Vice President had already been waiting here, wearing an extremely enthusiastic smile.
Looking at Su Ping and Dong Muchun, the Vice President of the Tianyun Group immediately put on an enthusiastic smile and asked with great concern:
"Chairman, do you have any business matters to instruct?"
"It's not me, it's him."
Dong Muchun pointed at Su Ping.
This Vice President was clearly not a fool. Without any delay, he quickly asked:
"Sir, do you have any business matters to attend to in Jianghai?"
Facing the Vice President's enthusiastic smile and Dong Muchun's concerned gaze, Su Ping decisively said:
"I want a loan! The kind with no collateral and no interest!"
Looking at Su Ping's confident expression, the Vice President hesitated for a while but ultimately couldn't resist, and he looked at Dong Muchun with some suspicion.
Was this Dong Muchun, the Vice President of the Tianyun Group, making fun of him?
