Chapter 234: The Crow's Gratitude! New Infrastructure Plans for the Heart of Wood!

Su Ping was touched.

Indeed, the ancient saying proved true.

Crows, as a species of birds, were far superior to those white-eyed fish.

Although they were a bit impolite, leaving without even a goodbye.

However, despite their lack of manners, they returned with a gift.

Su Ping couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He took the sightseeing car and hurriedly led Old Sha to the Lin Zhi Xin Botanical Garden.

The construction of the Heart of Wood was still ongoing, and with the approaching New Year, it was normal for the construction to slow down. Su Ping wasn't in a hurry.

Even so, the wood-based energy and life essence in the Heart of Wood were extremely rich. Entering it in the early morning brought an indescribable sense of tranquility.

The Hundred Birds Paulownia still extended from the hillside, like a Buddha's hand.

Sure enough, at the top of the Hundred Birds Paulownia, a strange black fire crow appeared once again.

However, Su Ping's eyelids soon twitched.

This was because, at that moment, the fire crow was still in the same condition.

Indeed, its body was covered in wounds, and its wings had a huge gash as if pierced by a nail, with blood flowing out.

Yet, there was not a trace of pain in the fire crow's eyes, and it seemed to feel no pain at all. It flapped its wings and cawed at Su Ping, seemingly greeting him.

At this moment, Su Ping pursed his lips, then looked suspiciously at Guan Qian Shan beside him.

He no longer cared about the fire crow's gift.

He wondered if the fire crow had mistaken this place for a free medical station?

Was it definitely not here for healing?

Had it become addicted to the Sprite Leaf?

However, it was still a good thing, as it could potentially light up fire crows and other bird-type companions, giving him some hope.

Su Ping looked at the fire crow hovering and flapping its wings, slowly moving towards him, with something in its beak.

It was a feather.

A fiery red feather.

Su Ping's eyebrows lifted slightly.

He felt a hint of indescribable warmth from the feather.

Even in the depths of winter, it brought a sense of warmth.

How was this achieved?

Su Ping blinked, narrowing his eyes involuntarily as he looked at the feather.

It was clearly a bird feather, approximately thirty centimeters long, indicating that its owner was not too large.

However, it was unclear which part of the body the feather came from—whether it was a contour, wing, or tail feather.

Nevertheless, there was no doubt that the feather belonged to a fire-attributed companion beast.

Of course, this was obvious, as fire crows were fire-attributed, and this little guy seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation.

The fiery red feather slowly drifted down, giving Su Ping the feeling of a slowly descending fire basin.

This indicated the temperature of the feather.

Su Ping reached out and took the feather, feeling the warmth from his palm to his heart. He didn't rush to examine it but instead looked at the little crow in surprise: "Is this for me?"

"Caw caw..."

The black crow cawed in response.

It was clear what it meant.

Su Ping smiled slightly, then reached out, even though he couldn't rule out the possibility that the little crow had mistaken this place for a medical station.

However, the fact that the little crow brought a gift made it far superior to other companions.

Su Ping was very satisfied.

So, as he stretched out his hand, a light shone once again. It was the all-too-familiar Sprite Leaf, the fire crow's healing elixir.

"Caw caw!"

The black crow was extremely excited and took the Sprite Leaf in its beak.

Feeding an elite-level companion with a life resource of the Commander tier was considered wasteful by anyone's standards.

Even Guan Qian Shan, standing beside him, thought so.

However, as Su Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at the object in his hand, he suddenly felt that giving this item wasn't such a loss.

Only after it landed in his hand did the fiery red feather reveal some clues.

The warm feeling made Su Ping feel warm all over.

This feather was very strange.

From a distance, every detail was clearly visible.

However, when it came into his hand, it became less clear.

The fiery red color of the feather seemed to transform into real flames in this situation, becoming a feather made of genuine fire.

What was this?

Su Ping subconsciously activated the True Eye, examining the object.

[Unknown Fire-attributed Companion Beast Feather: Contains a certain amount of energy, estimating the owner's strength to be between the Commander and Monarch tiers. However, the energy is incomplete, indicating that it has been detached for some time.]

That was all.

However, the True Eye wasn't inherently suited for observing resource materials, so Su Ping didn't pay much attention. Still, it proved that the item was indeed from an unknown companion beast.

The specific effect was unknown, but regardless, the appearance alone was impressive.

So, Su Ping looked at the fire crow: "Little Crow, thank you for your gift! But how did you get these injuries?"

"Caw caw..."

The black crow's mention of this revealed a cold killing intent, indicating a life-and-death battle.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

However, he didn't ask further.

Building a relationship with wild beasts required careful consideration.

Stay Calm and Patient.

Wild Companion Beasts in the wilderness are naturally wary of everything around them. Su Ping eventually just nodded and communicated through spiritual perception:

"If there's anything I can help you with, I'm here for you."

Without waiting for the black crow to tilt its head in surprise, Su Ping waved his hand and turned to leave.

Su Ping was still quite interested in this mutated Fire Crow.

After all, mutated Companion Beasts are valuable.

Although Su Ping didn't plan to form a Soul Bond with it, as the future main subject for bird Companion Beast cultivation, Su Ping still hoped to keep it around.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.

Su Ping didn't rush to leave the Heart of the Forest.

As they walked on the mountain road in the Heart of the Forest, Guan Qian Shan looked at the budding botanical garden and began to chat:

"Are there enough people at the Heart of Wood?"

"It's manageable. Why did you suddenly ask about this? When the Heart of Water opened, we had a batch of applicants, but the Heart of the Forest hadn't finished its renovations yet. Moreover, there are quite a few plant-type Companion Beasts guarding the area, so it's not as dangerous as the Heart of Water. We probably won't need too many people here."

"That's true, but I plan to hire another batch of Beast Tamers, not ordinary service staff, but real Beast Tamers. Many of them will be retired Legion Beast Tamers!" Su Ping suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Su Ping smiled and said, "First, we need some high-quality sparring partners for the Battle Hall at the Heart of Clouds. Secondly, in terms of security, even though Companion Beasts are convenient, they still can't match the adaptability of humans."

Guan Qian Shan nodded, "Should I make the contacts?"

"No need for that. I'm familiar with the Legion, and I'll see if I can find any retired Beast Tamers. It's better to have someone I know introduce them. But after the Heart of the Forest is completed, there are indeed other matters to attend to at the Heart of Wood."

Su Ping instructed, "The current situation at the Heart of Wood needs some re-planning!"

Another construction project! Guan Qian Shan sighed inwardly but had no choice but to listen at this moment.

He understood his young boss's ambition to make the Heart of Wood the largest and most diverse Companion Beast base in the Dragon Kingdom.

The current Heart of Wood was already impressive, but in the young master's eyes, it was evident that it wasn't enough!

Su Ping didn't pay attention to the helplessness in Guan Qian Shan's heart.

He spoke directly, "First, we need to divide the Heart of Wood. Previously, the forest where the Lynx Wolves lived was connected to the living area of the Heart of Wood, which wasn't an issue initially.

However, as time goes by, it might become inconvenient, and that area has slightly more Lynx Wolves, making it a bit crowded.

Therefore, let's separate this area and designate it as the breeding area, reception area, laboratory, and my core living area. In the future, I'll introduce some other facilities that will occupy a larger area.

Secondly, we need to expand the Necro Basement."

As expected, Guan Qian Shan had already anticipated this.

With Liu Lao and Master Zhu Hong frequently coming and going, Su Ping's dissatisfaction with the relatively cramped Necro Basement was evident.

But knowing is one thing, and finding a solution is another.

Guan Qian Shan had been pondering this problem for many days.

The challenge was how to build a sufficient Necro Beast breeding base without a clear direction.

The solution was simple: if constructed underground, the required area would be too large, and a vast underground cavity would lead to unforeseen issues.

Additionally, it wouldn't be suitable.

Read the flawless version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar for the original novel.

Guan Qian Shan expressed his concerns, but Su Ping gave him a sideways glance, "If the area isn't sufficient, we can make up for it with height. And who says it has to be built underground?"

Guan Qian Shan blinked, not understanding his intention.

Didn't Su Ping mention before that the Companion Beast breeding base should simulate a natural environment as much as possible while incorporating a commercial model, allowing for participation in cultivation and utilization?

The eerie environment of Necro Beasts didn't seem suitable for the Heart of Wood.

After a pause, Su Ping said, "There's a new entertainment project in Linzhou these days, right? Real haunted houses, murder mysteries, and escape rooms. Why not create a Necro Beast breeding base based on these concepts? Not only can it serve as a breeding ground for Necro Beasts, but it can also allow Beast Tamers to participate in such games during their free time.

It can even be developed into entertainment competitions. We can build several buildings or various structures, enclose them, and create a base in this style. Isn't that good too?

I think we should include a hospital-themed building, as well as schools and hospitals, which are essential for horror themes. We can focus on cultivating Ghost-type Companion Beasts in these buildings! Ghost-type Companion Beasts that appear and disappear mysteriously are quite suitable for this setting.

Then, we can have an ancient-style mansion for zombies and Demon Beasts, a Western-style church for mummies, lichs, and other Western Necro Beasts, and a haunted graveyard scene with skeletons, zombies, and origami figures. All of these are feasible, right?"

It must be said that this statement completely brightened Guan Qian Shan's eyes.

It seemed... quite possible!

This model, combined with a Necro Beast breeding base, was indeed quite interesting to think about.

"However, before that, there's a very important matter that I need your advice on!"

Su Ping patted Guan Qian Shan's shoulder solemnly.

Guan Qian Shan's expression became excited, as if he was also inspired by Su Ping's proposal. He quickly said, "Tell me, what's the problem? I'll do my best to help!"

"Well, what should we name this area in the future?" Su Ping asked solemnly.

Guan Qian Shan blinked, his initial enthusiasm momentarily stifled. He opened his mouth, "Um... Ghost Heart?"

"Tsk, it feels like something's missing?"

"Then... Necro Heart?"

"But everywhere else has three characters, wouldn't four characters here seem out of place?"

"How about... Yin Heart?"

"..."

The two stood on the mountain road, staring at each other for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a name that satisfied Su Ping. In the end, they decided to put this topic aside for now.

"In short, if you need money, say so. If you need land, buy it. But be sure to choose carefully. Don't get too close to the Heart of the Forest and the Heart of Water, as it will affect the overall feel. Of course, don't get too far from the core either, as it will take too long to travel back and forth for cultivation."

The transportation issue also needed to be addressed. Although sightseeing cars could be used, it was still inconvenient. If only there were dedicated space pets for teleporting people.

Guan Qian Shan glanced at his young boss, who was daydreaming. Even he knew that such space pets wouldn't be available for this kind of play.

Which space pet wasn't treated like a treasure?

Fortunately, Su Ping didn't dwell on this idea.

Su Ping paused before continuing:

"Also, soon, Elder Liu will send a large batch of wolf pets. As mentioned before, the original Heart of Wood of the Forest Wolf is connected to the east of the Heart of Wood. This area doesn't require any artificial carving."

In the future of the Heart of Wood, this will become the largest base plate! In the future, it will not only accommodate these wolf pets but also some other pets.

Therefore, in the future, we need to plan to increase some Gobi Desert, forest land, and snowfield micro-terrain. Other than that, we can ignore it. Create a medium-sized ski resort-like terrain in the snowfield, open up a horse racing track in the grassland, and the circumference needs to reach more than 20 to 30 kilometers..."

What? Guan Qian Shan looked at Su Ping. How much space was he planning to occupy?

A horse racing track in the grassland wasn't enough; he wanted a Gobi Desert, forest land, and even a snowfield and ski resort? Was this a pet base? Why not just say you're building a small city!

Seeing Guan Qian Shan's shock and difficulty, Su Ping patted the old man's shoulder:

"Uncle Guan, it's all up to us! And you don't have to do it right away. This is our vision for the next 225 years! As I said, if you need money, get money; if you need people, find people!"

Guan Qian Shan sighed and shook his head helplessly:

"You kid, if you can't fly to the sky, are you planning to build a floating city up there too?"

Hmm? Su Ping looked at the old man.

The old man, seeing Su Ping's focused expression, quickly waved his hand in dismay, "No, I was just joking."

Su Ping laughed, "Of course I know. Rest assured, I definitely don't have this idea for now."

"That's good... That's good... Alright, I'll go take care of some things if you don't need me."

"Mhm, mhm."

Smiling, Su Ping watched the old man leave. He wasn't in a hurry to leave the Heart of the Forest.

Instead, he took Old Sha to visit the Life Ancient Tree.

Although one was a plant and the other a wolf pet, they were both of a certain age and had a good relationship.

Old Sha's energy infusion also restored the vitality of the Life Ancient Tree to some extent.

However, it was still a temporary solution.

But Su Ping hadn't found a fundamental solution yet.

He wasn't in a hurry at the moment.

Then, he took Old Sha to the Heart of Flowers.

There, he found the Powdered Peach Blossom.

When they first brought these little guys from the forest, Powdered Peach Blossom had requested a weekly amplification of the natural language of the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf.

Accompanied by the sweet moans emitted by the peach, Su Ping smiled and took the powdered peach from the blossom, then he laughed:

"Does Peach like the current environment?"

"Like... Peach likes it here... likes Su Ping..."

The branches of Powdered Peach Blossom swayed gently, emitting a sweet fragrance.

Su Ping laughed.

Then he patted his chest and said, "When I have time, I'll find your evolved form and figure out a way to evolve! As the first plant pet to come to the Heart of Wood, Su Ping also likes Peach! Does Peach want other companions to come and form a peach garden?"

"Giggle, this place is nice... Su Ping is nice too... The humans who come here are nice too... Peach wants other companions to play with..."

The branches of the peach tree swayed continuously, emitting a sweet fragrance that was pleasant to the senses.

However, Su Ping wasn't just making empty promises.

Although he didn't have the energy to research the new evolution of this type of plant-based pet,

Such evolved forms weren't hard to find in the Dragon Kingdom, and they could be sought in the Beastmaster Association.

Additionally, the fruits of Powdered Peach Blossom were indeed delicious. Although it was generally difficult to purchase this type of plant-based pet,

As long as one was willing to spend money and effort, nothing was impossible.

Feeling satisfied, Su Ping left the Heart of Flowers and was about to continue to the Heart of Water and the special magnetic field below when the phone rang again.

This time, it was a call he couldn't ignore, from Master Zhu Hong:

"Hello, Master Zhu?"

"Su Ping, where are you?"

"Um, I'm at the Heart of the Forest. Is there something I can help you with?"

Master Zhu Hong was now fully focused on the Origami Figure. After so many days, he finally took the initiative to contact Su Ping, aside from fishing together.

It was clear that he had something important to discuss:

"Haha, I succeeded! I cultivated the Fire Heart in the body of the Origami Figure!"

The cheerful laughter made Su Ping's eyes light up.

At this moment, he didn't hesitate and quickly rode Old Sha to his cultivation laboratory base.
