Chapter 15: The Poop-Scooping Beastmaster, the First Customer!
Chapter 15: The Poop-Scooping Beastmaster, the First Customer!
The sky was clear and blue, and the boundless sunlight shone down, causing the noontime sun to penetrate the leaves and leave speckled traces on the ground.
The forest wolves were either chasing and playing with each other or lazily lying under the trees, basking in the sun without feeling too hot.
The only exceptions were Xiao Qing and Little Spot.
These two little guys were truly using their skills to fight and practice in the sunlit forest.
After all, improving skill proficiency levels was one of the main aspects of enhancing one's strength.
As for Old Sha, he was watching over the two youngsters to prevent any unexpected incidents.
The entire Heart of Wood Pet Breeding Base seemed incredibly cheerful.
There was only one person.
And in this breeding base, he was the only one.
At this moment, Su Ping was not only feeling relaxed but also speechless.
Under the scorching sun, he held a pair of custom tweezers, and the hot temperature caused beads of sweat to form on his temples.
Despite this, he still wore a mask, squatting to the side with the tweezers in hand and a bamboo basket behind him.
An indescribable stench wafted from in front of him.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as when making potions, it was still enough to make one cover their nose and avoid it.
He picked up a clump of wolf droppings that resembled wood shavings and tossed them into the basket behind him.
Su Ping sighed behind his mask.
It wasn't because of the stench of the wolf droppings in front of him.
After all, he had gotten used to it after so many days.
And the results were impressive.
Although he didn't know why the forest wolves' affinity for him increased faster when he smelled like wolf droppings, the experiments over the past few days had indeed proven this fact.
He was also grateful that his pet breeding base was for forest wolves, a pack companion beast.
In a wolf pack, the Wolf King's rule was unquestionable.
Old Sha, as the Wolf King, had a relationship with Su Ping like that of a family member. Under Old Sha's influence and authoritative rule, these forest wolves also behaved accordingly.
Additionally, the Su family's records provided them with a deep understanding of the forest wolves' habits.
After a few days, all the forest wolves, except for a few elite ones, had reached the required affinity level with Su Ping, and their information was recorded in the Wolf Bestiary.
Although these ordinary forest wolves without any standout features provided very limited experience for the Wolf Bestiary, the time spent with them and the experience gained over the past few days had brought Su Ping's experience points to just over four hundred.
In a few more days, after reaching the required affinity with the elite forest wolves, he would be able to level up the Wolf Bestiary to LV2.
The reason for his sigh was purely because he felt a bit sorry for his family's finances.
Li Shu was right; who still bothered with local news notifications these days? The local media's advertising was just too ineffective.
After so many days, only a few people had called to inquire.
But when they heard that it was an unknown breeding base with a breeder who didn't even have a basic certification, they immediately lost interest.
So, Su Ping felt he had been hasty.
This advertising had been pointless.
If it weren't for the last shred of hope he was clinging to, Su Ping would have considered using up that last bottle of potion immediately.
However, fortunately, over the past few days, in addition to the Wolf Bestiary, he had also made some progress in other areas.
The most noticeable improvement was in his cultivation realm.
For beastmasters, realm advancement primarily relied on the feedback from bonded beasts, the use of special resources, and the most fundamental method: meditation.
This was one of the most challenging aspects for beastmasters, aside from their innate beastmaster talent.
And in this regard, Su Ping had a lot to say.
His meditation progress was always the best among the six, and he wasn't sure if it was due to his two lifetimes as a human or the hidden effects of the Omniscient Beast Atlas.
Moreover, according to common knowledge in beastmastery, he knew that after bonding with a soul companion, the effects and progress of meditation would be faster.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
After meditating for several days, Su Ping advanced from Ordinary Fourth Rank to Ordinary Fifth Rank.
Xiao Qing also improved, although she didn't level up, her strength increased to a certain extent.
Shaking his head, Su Ping placed the wolf droppings into the forest, the droppings of a forest wolf have a growth-promoting effect on plants, a kind of very low-value special resource."
It was because of these resources that his manor's forest thrived so well.
Su Ping secretly pondered whether he should cultivate some plant companions when he became successful in the future.
After all, the forest wolf's conditions were right there.
Unfortunately, as soon as this thought appeared, Su Ping sighed.

The same question remained: no money!
Possessing the skills to slay dragons, yet no one recognized his talent. Su Ping, the beastmaster with unappreciated abilities, finished cleaning up after the wolves and had no desire to play with these silly dogs. He headed straight towards the manor.
However, as soon as he arrived, he heard a persistent 'ding-a-ling' sound coming from the entrance.
It was urgent yet prolonged, indicating continuous ringing.
Was it Manager Guan again? Or perhaps one of his classmates, other than Li Shu, trying to get in touch? Su Ping didn't bother to think further and went straight to the entrance.
"I'm here, stop ringing!"
As the gate opened, the person standing before him caused Su Ping to pause slightly.
She appeared to be in her twenties, slightly older than him. She wore sunglasses, but even so, Su Ping could see her fair skin and the suppressed sneeze she tried to cover.
"You are..."
Before Su Ping could finish his question, the woman began a tirade:
"How does your breeding facility do business? I've been ringing this doorbell for almost an hour! I can't believe I actually found this godforsaken place..."
Su Ping quickly interrupted, facing the woman's obvious anger from waiting in the sun for so long:
"Are you here to cultivate pet skills?"
"Duh, why else would I come to such a remote place?"
The woman removed her sunglasses, revealing a face that even Su Ping found slightly stunning.
What a beautiful young lady.
Su Ping secretly lamented.
Such a gorgeous lady, yet her mind seemed a bit slow.
"Sorry, I was tending to my pets. Have you been waiting long? Did no one respond to the doorbell?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Su Ping waved his hands, understanding the frustration of waiting for a long time with no response, but...
Su Ping's face scrunched up, unsure how to respond.
Instead, the young lady looked at him with suspicion, seeing his conflicted expression and the wolf droppings scent on his body.
"What?"
Su Ping took a sip of water and said, "If you're in a hurry, you can call the number on the signboard or advertisement."
The woman opened her mouth, then looked up at the signboard. She fell into an eerie silence.
At this moment, Su Ping suspected that this might be his first and possibly only customer.
Her mind might not be as sharp as her looks.
