Chapter 181: Creating the Lin Zhi Xin! Su Ping's Orchard!
Chapter 181: Creating the Lin Zhi Xin! Su Ping's Orchard!
Su Ping was feeling incredibly fortunate.
He had a decent background, so he didn't have to work as a menial laborer in various companies.
But today, he was indeed working like a horse.
Although this task was quite tiring, it was for his own Wood Essence Heart, and he could barely consider it a painful yet joyful experience.
If he were like Zhou Shuchen, who had joined a company, his talent as a Beastmaster would probably be put to use solely for traveling in a vehicle all day.
Even though the Beastmaster's Home was already quite large,
he had been busy since noon transporting these Common Rank and Elite Rank Beast Companions to the Wood Essence Heart, and it wasn't until the evening that he finally finished.
His Beast Taming Space was nearly three hundred square meters in size.
However, this three hundred square meters could only fit about a hundred large Plant-type Beast Companions at a time, which was already impressive.
For the smaller ones, the maximum was only around two hundred.
This was after sacrificing some of the farmland where Little Green had painstakingly planted smiling sunflowers.
Even so, throughout the afternoon's back and forth trips, Su Ping had been traveling between the Wood Essence Heart and the Victory Forest Farm.
He made six or seven trips before finally managing to transport all the low-level Plant-type Beast Companions.
Upon returning to the Wood Essence Heart,
all the guests, staff, and even Guan Qianshan, who was on the Cloud Core side's rest and play area, witnessed large trucks entering the base.
They were a bit bewildered.
Guan Qianshan blinked, knowing that his little boss had gone out to do something, but he didn't know the specifics.
He never expected such a big situation to arise.
"What the heck was that just now? Why did those flowers look like they were on fire? They don't seem like plants at all."
"Was that a Blade Silver Apricot? When its leaves brushed past, they even cut a chunk out of the nearby stone."
"I heard that a new orchard is being built behind the Wood Essence Heart, and these must be the Beast Companions for it."
"Wow, the Wood Essence Heart is indeed going all out!"
Someone watching the trucks coming in one after another couldn't help but exclaim.
"The Water Heart was already impressive, but this orchard seems even more amazing. I wonder if there's a business model for this orchard? Old Guan, how does your boss Su plan to manage this orchard?"
Hearing the question from the guest beside him, Guan Qianshan scratched his head. He really wanted to say, to be honest, I don't even know how this orchard is going to work.
As for the Plant-type Beast Companions delivered today, he had absolutely no idea.
So, facing the guest beside him, Old Guan could only smile helplessly.
In fact, he also wanted to say that his position as a manager was more like that of a miscellaneous taskmaster.
He dealt with various personnel matters and all sorts of messy affairs and disputes.
Whenever the little boss had a sudden idea and asked him to do something, he would do it.
Aside from these tasks, the actual decisions regarding the base's future development had nothing to do with him.
However, Guan Qianshan was already extremely satisfied with this arrangement.
Especially since his daughter could study Beast Cultivation alongside Su Ping, something he had never even dreamed of before.
If asked to help with the base's future development, he wouldn't dare to do it.
Currently, Old Guan was already doing a great job managing the base's day-to-day operations while Su Ping focused on pushing the base's limits.
This allowed Su Ping to dedicate his full attention to Beast Cultivation, aside from these tasks.
Meeting Su Ping was a stroke of luck for Guan Qianshan, and having a dedicated manager like Old Guan indeed relieved Su Ping of many worries.
Finally, after an entire afternoon of back and forth trips, the large trucks that had been transporting the Beast Companions finally finished their task.
The first batch delivered were extremely rare Plant-type Leader Rank Beast Companions, followed by trucks full of Elite and Common Rank Plant-type Beast Companions.
And in the end, among those who had become accustomed, even numb, to such sights, the last batch was a real showstopper.
"What the heck? Is that a Life Ancient Tree?"
"Damn, and it's even a mature one? I saw a human face on the tree!"
"No, can this be purchased? I want to buy one too!"
"How much money do you have?"
"It's impossible to buy. Even Leader Rank unclaimed Beast Companions are hard to acquire through trade! Could the rumors be true?"
"What rumors?"
"Rumors say that Boss Su is the grandson-in-law of the Jianghai Beastmaster Association..."
"Holy shit, is that for real?"
"..."
Undoubtedly, the news of a Monarch Rank Life Ancient Tree being transported to the Wood Essence Heart spread quickly.
However, most of the speculation and rumors were about Su Ping's identity.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Su Ping didn't have the time to address these baseless rumors.
As nightfall arrived, Su Ping sat on a hillside under the darkening sky, gazing at the vast expanse of Plant-type Beast Companions, but he discovered a rather vexing problem.
He suddenly realized that his orchard needed a redesign.
Initially, the orchard was just a large area of wilderness and forest, with some cobblestone paths and pavilions for rest.
But now, after such a bountiful harvest, this ordinary orchard couldn't possibly accommodate so many Plant-type Beast Companions, and even Su Ping himself felt dissatisfied with it.
The exquisite design of the Water Heart had left him very satisfied, and the 'Lin Zhi Xin' in the orchard must be handled with care as well!
At this moment, the fence around the Water Heart lake in the barren hills and the neighboring area has been erected, but the construction has not officially started yet, so it's not too late to make changes.
Aside from other things, the Longevity Banyan, a massive and magnificent tree that forms a forest on its own, spreading over a hundred meters, looks out of place when placed with other smaller Life Attribute Companion Beasts, even some common fruit trees.
Moreover, trees like the Longevity Banyan and Spear Fir King prefer to live alone, so it's best to leave some separate open spaces for them.
So, Su Ping glanced at the night sky and directly took out his phone, starting to brainstorm: "Uncle Guan, call all the designers we've worked with before for the gardens and bases."
It's only just getting dark, and Wood Heart is a rare big client. As a qualified design company, shouldn't we be available whenever needed for such an easy-to-please client? In fact, that's indeed the case.
As soon as they heard about the new project, while Su Ping was sitting on the hillside chatting with the Life Attribute Companion Beasts that had temporarily taken root there for nearly an hour, these people arrived.
They brought plenty of equipment.
Infrared scanners, mechanical drones, panoramic simulation sand tables, and a whole bunch of other messy stuff.
During this time, Su Ping also figured out the demands of the Overlord Rank Companion Beasts he brought, and at the same time, categorized and organized the records of these Companion Beasts made by Li Shu.
Including the Life Ancient Tree, there are eleven Companion Beasts of Overlord Rank and above.
The Life Ancient Tree is easygoing.
The old tree doesn't have any specific living requirements; anything goes.
As for the other ten, each has their own unique demands, like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each showing their prowess.
The Heaven Reaching Vine is fine; previously, this 'Little Vine' as called by the old tree, doesn't have any special demands, and can even help with the base's defense, showing potential to become a model Companion Beast employee for Wood Heart.
The Powdered Peach Blossom wants to live in a place with more flower Companion Beasts, so it can always smell its favorite floral fragrance.
This request isn't difficult, and it's even possible to create a garden in the 'Forest Heart' with the extremely beautiful Powdered Peach Blossom.
The Spear Fir King's request is quite interesting; it wants to stand at the highest point in the botanical garden.
Although this 200-meter-tall tree is already like a signal tower, it still seems unsatisfied.
However, the Spear Fir King has its reasons.
It can sense the entire base and a wide area around it from the highest point of the mountain.
In case of any situation, it can raise a timely alarm.
Regarding this, the 'Little Vine' Heaven Reaching Vine expresses dissatisfaction: What situation could there be with it around? However, Su Ping can also affirm the Spear Fir King's request and its role.
As for the Longevity Banyan, it's also acceptable.
Its request is to have no other large plants or Life Attribute Companion Beasts within a kilometer radius, except for the Life Ancient Tree.
This is understandable, as the Longevity Banyan's solitary forest effect makes it extremely dominant in occupying sunlight.
However, the Longevity Banyan also has its advantages and benefits.
Its falling leaves are one of the elite resources, 'Longevity Banyan Leaves'.
They are quite valuable resources, not only useful for potion making but also directly processable into tea leaves. Regular consumption can extend one's lifespan.
The Longevity Banyan promises to give Su Ping ten to twenty pounds of leaves each month.
Moreover, its massive canopy is highly ornamental and provides shade.
Just this single Longevity Banyan can greatly diversify Su Ping's business.
These Longevity Banyan leaves can be used in some interesting projects, and Su Ping can let the visiting tourists interact with them instead of actively collecting and selling them.
Aside from the Longevity Banyan and Powdered Peach Blossom, the Flame Clematis is relatively special. It has a passionate and generous personality, but it doesn't produce anything, and as a special plant growing on mountain cliffs, it doesn't have any specific environmental requirements.
It hangs on the mountain wall, purely as an ornamental plant.
It's like an extra topping.
However, the Flame Clematis doesn't mind, and Su Ping doesn't bother with it.
The Spear Silver Apricot is quite demanding, though.
It doesn't require any specific living environment and can even provide Silver Apricot fruit, another elite resource, 'Iron Persimmon Fruit'.
The name is abstract, but the effect is quite good, a Metal Attribute resource beneficial to such Companion Beasts.
However, the condition is that it needs over twenty kilograms of iron water for irrigation.
To raise this Companion Beast, a high-temperature forging room needs to be built.
Overall, it's still worth it.
It's just a bit more troublesome.
The Moon Fir is also quite particular.
Its planting requirements aren't difficult.
It doesn't want direct sunlight, needing a shaded area, and at night, it wants to bask in the moonlight.
The Moon Fir can gather the power of moonlight, making it different from the other Companion Beasts.
The biggest difference is that the Moon Fir produces Overlord Rank resources!
That's right, its main resource is the 'Moon Fir Flower,' which only drops once a year on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.
It contains a large amount of moonlight energy, highly beneficial to this type of Companion Beast.
Su Ping has actually seen it once before,
The Moon Fir Flower is extremely appealing to the Moon Wolf that Lin Lei brought.
Such a precious resource, akin to a money tree, is a small request that Su Ping naturally won't refuse.
There are three left: Fog Pine, Dragon Pattern Bamboo, and Hundred Birds Paulownia.
Among them, Fog Pine requires a watery environment.
It can produce mist, stimulate aquatic plants, and increase the oxygen content underwater, thus enhancing the living environment for aquatic Companion Beasts.
This is simple; at the edge of the Forest Heart, where it meets the lake of the Water Heart, Fog Pine can enter the water by extending its roots into the water from the shore.
As for Hundred Birds Paulownia, true to its name, it desires the company of bird Companion Beasts and will release a special scent that attracts bird Companion Beasts to build nests nearby.
Only the last one, Dragon Pattern Bamboo, surprised Su Ping with its request.
This silent and withered thing asked for dragon blood irrigation!
Yes, dragon blood!
Regardless of whether it's a Western or Eastern dragon, unless it's a sub-dragon species, its racial cap is at the Imperial Rank or above.
As a result, this mere Overlord Rank Dragon Pattern Bamboo wants dragon blood irrigation.
In the end, without Su Ping taking action, the Life Ancient Tree, a rare sight, slapped it.
Then, it was told to honestly improve the soil resources of this barren mountain.
Although Dragon Pattern Bamboo sounds impressive, in reality, its actual combat ability is quite ordinary. It's a Companion Beast with both Earth and Wood attributes, and its main help to Su Ping is slightly activating the soil and improving its quality, preventing soil erosion.
Ensuring the soil quality for all other Plant-Type Companion Beasts.
With that, ten Overlord Rank Companion Beasts,
Heaven Reaching Vine, Powdered Peach Blossom, Longevity Banyan, Spear Fir, Flame Clematis, Blade Silver Apricot, Dragon Pattern Bamboo, Moon Tree, Fog Pine, and Hundred Birds Paulownia.
The requests of these ten Companion Beasts have all been fulfilled.
Su Ping also made a significant portion of the summary.
Through conversation with Longevity Banyan,
Powdered Peach Blossom, Longevity Banyan, Blade Silver Apricot, and Hundred Birds Paulownia, these four Companion Beasts, are not averse to humans coming, as long as they don't go too far, and are even willing to have more contact with humans.
So, they can be developed as Companion Beasts that interact with tourists.
As for Flame Clematis, Spear Fir, and Dragon Pattern Bamboo, they are not averse to humans approaching, but they don't like it either. They belong to the type that can be approached and admired, but not any further.
In addition to that, Fog Pine and Moon Tree.
These two are the type that prefers solitude and doesn't like interacting with any other creatures.
They can only be admired from a distance, not approached.
As for Heaven Reaching Vine?
Su Ping believes that no one or Companion Beast would want to watch this one. This little guy's ability, as he said, is best applied to practical home and yard protection.
Obviously, in terms of industry, Powdered Peach Blossom, Longevity Banyan, and Blade Silver Apricot are undoubtedly suitable for additional industry development.
Regarding these three, Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.
If they do a good job, the future indicators of the botanical garden may depend on these three guys.
These three can be developed into a garden, a banyan tree interaction area, and a Blade Silver Apricot-centered orchard.
As for Hundred Birds Paulownia, there's still no idea for its development.
As for the rest, just place them in the barren mountain's botanical garden viewing area, and that's it.
As for Fog Pine and Moon Tree,
Fog Pine can release mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere, which also prevents outsiders from entering.
As for Moon Tree...
It can be placed together with the Life Ancient Tree.
At the same time, in addition to these ten Overlord Rank Plant-Type Companion Beasts,
There are also over twenty other types and more than a thousand low-rank Plant-Type Companion Beasts.
Poplar, Snow Pine, Running Mountain Ginseng, White Jade Lychee Tree, Emerald Grape Vine, Spiral Orange Tree...
Some can bear fruit, some are combat-type Guardian Beasts, and some are beautiful Plant-Type Companion Beasts.
You could say they have everything.
The classification of these Plant-Type Companion Beasts is a problem.
And this problem was handed over to the designers who had come.
After Su Ping finished explaining everything, all the designers nodded.
The areas and care locations for these ten top-tier Overlord Rank Plant-Type Companion Beasts must also form unique characteristics.
The entire mountain forest, as well as the barren mountain forest extending down to the border with the Spirit Stream River, needs to be renovated.
These are the tasks they need to research and work on.
"Mr. Su, it's getting late today, and we now understand the situation. Let's discuss this back at the company, shall we?"
A designer spoke up, and Su Ping directly waved his hand:
"Discuss it right here."
The designers showed difficulty on their faces.
Although they absolutely believed in the accommodations at the Cloud Core Resort,
But still...
However, this difficulty on their faces was soon interrupted by Su Ping's words:
"Meals and accommodations are on me, and whoever among you comes up with a design that satisfies me first, in addition to the fees, each designer will receive an extra reward of 500,000 yuan! Of course, I won't let the rest of you work for nothing either."
He is now clearly showing that he's not short of money!
At Ping Yun, they're printing money every day.
Su Ping is not a ruthless capitalist, hoarding money and waiting for it to breed, only to let it flow back into the market in another way, so that the market can remain stable.
As expected, upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Money can make the devil grind, and this boss is not short of money, so let's work overnight!
Looking at these designers showing their competitive spirit, Su Ping smiled and, after saying a word to Old Guan, finally returned to the Forest Heart area's cultivation center.
After the 'Forest Heart' matter was settled, he could finally properly research Lao Sha's situation.
