Chapter 16: Wager? The Terrifying Profits of Pet Breeding!
Chapter 16: Wager? The Terrifying Profits of Pet Breeding!
Under the warm sunlight, the vast entrance of the Heart of Wood seemed unusually quiet.
Only the chirping of a few cicadas could be heard.
Finally, Su Ping spoke up:
"Please come in and have a seat."
The girl's slightly flushed face now looked a bit better, and she entered the reception room.
Su Ping took the fastest shower of his life and then walked into the room.
This time, the girl's eyes lit up as he entered.
It must be said that despite the terrible first impression, Su Ping's re-entry surprised her.
His handsome features exuded a sense of calmness beyond his years.
Compared to those arrogant campus heartthrobs and so-called young heroes from the Beast Mastery Academy of Megalopolis, he was far more pleasing to the eye.
Even walking on the street, he was the type that would catch her attention.
However, she wasn't here to admire handsome men.
Although the good-looking young man did calm her restlessness after the long wait, she maintained a cold demeanor and said:
"Alright, can you cultivate the 'Heart of Wood' skill for the Forest Wolf? Get your breeder, and I'll discuss it with him."
Su Ping sat down directly:
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Su Ping, the owner and Beastmaster of the Heart of Wood Pet Breeding Base."
The girl was taken aback, then frowned slightly, her cheeks turning cold, and she even showed a hint of ridicule:
"Including a janitor and a stable hand?"
Without waiting for Su Ping's response, she stood up:
"Forget it, goodbye."
Although she had anticipated this, in a world that judged by appearances, it was unfair for an excellent breeder and talented Beastmaster like herself.
But there was no other way; a penny saved is a penny earned.
Finally, a customer with a not-so-sharp mind had come, and Su Ping couldn't let them leave.
"You don't trust me?"
If it weren't for the fact that the young man was indeed good-looking, she wouldn't have turned back. But after hearing his words, she turned around:
"From your age, you must have just graduated, right? Do you know what the Heart of Wood skill is?"
Before Su Ping could respond, she spoke again:
"The Heart of Wood is an augmentation-type passive skill, a lower-tier skill of the Supergrade Skill 'Elemental Heart', and only Wood Element Companions have a chance to comprehend it naturally.
Other Wood Element Companions, not to mention the Forest Wolf, even Plant Companions with racial potential like the Ancient Life Tree, rarely possess it.
Although Linzhou is known as the origin of Forest Wolf breeding, I didn't have high hopes for cultivating the Heart of Wood. I apologize for the disturbance."
After speaking, the girl herself shook her head with a wry smile, feeling a bit ridiculous.
However, Su Ping looked at her, his expression unmoved, still confident and calm. He said quietly:
"Why not give it a try?"
The girl was taken aback and looked at the obviously newly graduated young Beastmaster.
Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, Su Ping smiled slightly:
"If you're willing to give it a shot, as long as the Heart of Wood isn't cultivated, you won't have to spend a penny on any initial costs or material expenses!"
With these words, the girl was truly shocked.
Generally, Pet Breeding Bases, especially those that cultivate skills, have two most important conditions! First and foremost, they must guarantee the Companion Beast's safety.
But usually, there's no need to worry about this, as Beastmasters can sense when Companion Beasts are in danger and stop the cultivation process.
And most contracts would include a clause stating that should the pet beast die during the breeding process, not only would the breeding base be shut down, but the breeder might even face imprisonment.
Hence, becoming a breeder was not an easy feat, and it was understandable that no one believed in Su Ping without a certificate from the Breeder Association.
Second, before the breeding process, regardless of success or failure, the Beastmaster must bear a certain cost.
After all, even those rare breeding masters couldn't guarantee absolute success every time.
It's unrealistic to expect a breeding base to operate solely on the premise of success and payment.
But now, this young man before her dared to speak such words.
Was he treating himself as a guinea pig?
At this moment, she hesitated, for the young man exuded an inexplicably calming aura that made her want to believe in him.
And she had her reasons for wanting her pet beast to comprehend the Heart of Wood.
Perhaps her thought process was different from others, but she couldn't believe that someone operating such a large breeding base wouldn't understand the consequences and significance of their actions.
Thus, she became interested.
"Qin Xiaoxue!"
Read the flawless version at 69shu! 6=9+shu_ba, the first to publish this novel.
As the snow-white palm reached out towards him, Su Ping was startled, then extended his hand and shook hers lightly.
But Qin Xiaoxue was straightforward and direct.
"Since you're the one asking, I won't say that I'm taking advantage of you. If the breeding fails and the Woodhead doesn't learn the Heart of Wood, you won't owe me a single cent!
If you succeed, in addition to the agreed-upon price, I'll grant you any one request. How about that wager?"
Su Ping's response was even more direct.
He immediately printed out the contract.
Although Qin Xiaoxue seemed a bit scatterbrained, when it came to reading contracts, she was meticulous.
She pointed to a section and said,
"I just said that in addition to the agreed-upon price, I can grant you one condition. Here, you've only listed a breeding fee of 3.5 million!"
But Su Ping smiled,
"You're the first person to believe in me. Apart from providing free materials if I fail, I don't need any conditions from you."
Su Ping could tell that this Miss Qin was no ordinary person.
Indeed, not many people could keep their eyes from blinking at such a breeding price.
However, he needed money now and didn't want to deal with unnecessary complications.
This price was already making his conscience ache.
A cost of 200,000, with nearly twenty times the profit.
While it was undoubtedly a bargain for a Beastmaster who could easily afford this price,
Su Ping, who was doing this kind of business for the first time, still felt a bit uncomfortable.
After all, becoming a qualified heartless capitalist also required some talent.
Qin Xiaoxue glanced at Su Ping with a complex expression. In reality, her promise was worth far more than 3.5 million, even 35 million.
But this young Beastmaster before her, at this moment, left her with an extraordinary feeling and impression.
Thus, Qin Xiaoxue inexplicably gave birth to an unrealistic fantasy in her heart.
Could it be that he could really do it?
