Chapter 24: Another Bet? A Crazy Wager!
Chapter 24: Another Bet? A Crazy Wager!
Is this kid deliberately provoking me?
Why is he so annoying in every way?
Sun Chaoju's expression turned slightly unpleasant.
However, this was a personal request from Qin Xiaoxue, so it wasn't as if Su Ping was stealing business. Moreover, if anyone was guilty of that, it would be him.
But before Sun Chaoju could think further, Qin Xiaoxue had already nodded in agreement.
"No problem. Name your price!"
Su Ping didn't hold back. He was indeed in dire need of money. Aside from nurturing the current pack of Timber Wolves, he also had to cultivate his own Little Qing, which required precious Poison Type resources.
Additionally, he wanted to expand the scale of his Companion Beast Breeding Base, all of which required significant financial investments.
"Let me make this clear. I'll only be responsible for enhancing the Wolf's racial skills and the Heart of Wood skills that I personally cultivate. I won't take responsibility for any other skills!"
After receiving Qin Xiaoxue's affirmative response, Su Ping finally spoke,
"For Novice to Proficient, it's 200,000 per level for other racial skills. From Proficient to Master, it's 800,000 each time. As for advancing to the Supreme level, I haven't decided yet, and it will depend on the specific skill."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly taken aback, including the bald elder who had remained silent until now.
"Little Su, the pricing for skill level cultivation isn't calculated this way. It should be based on time, as companion beasts have varying aptitudes. If we go by skill levels..."
He didn't finish his sentence. If they charged by skill levels and a beast remained uncultivated, would the beastmaster continue to leave their companion beast at the training base indefinitely? That was clearly impossible.
Meanwhile, Sun Chaoju, standing nearby, seemed to have found his opening. He said with a slight frown,
"Su, you probably haven't done this type of cultivation before. But that's understandable, given your remarkable achievements. Your future is bright, but as the saying goes, 'specialize in one's field.' It seems you still have much to learn in this context.
Su Ping scoffed lightly,
"This senior should refrain from comparing me to those mediocre breeders. If I say I can do it, I will! Unless this senior wishes to challenge me?"
Vice President Liu furrowed his brows slightly, but Sun Chaoju, standing beside him, seemed to have found new energy. He said,
"Oh? Well, I, Sun Chaoju, have some insights into cultivating the skill levels of Timber Wolves. Most of Timberwolf's skills have reached the Proficient level, except for Self-Healing, which is still at the Novice stage.
If Miss Qin trusts me, I'm confident that within a month, I can elevate Timberwolf's Self-Healing to the Proficient level! Do you want to wager a bet, young man?"
As he spoke, a hint of confidence flashed across his face.
However, the others didn't seem to notice, but if they had paid closer attention to Timberwolf, standing by his owner's side, they would have seen a look of disdain in the wolf's eyes, as if he were looking at a fool.
One month?
From Novice to Proficient?
Earlier that morning, Timberwolf had witnessed firsthand how the young Timber Wolf had taken just two hours to elevate the Sunlight Absorption skill among the Wolf's racial abilities to the Proficient level!
Although the initial stages of Sunlight Absorption might be relatively easier to enhance compared to Self-Healing, the difference was still significant!
Su Ping couldn't help but smile.
He truly loved making bets.
The previous wager with Qin Xiaoxue had ended with him forfeiting the lion's share due to his grandstanding.
But now, with this opportunity presented to him, why not take advantage?
Moreover, this was all part of Su Ping's calculated plan! He had overheard this fellow who boldly exploring a new world, Su Ping, had mentioned a 'Rapid Casting' cultivation method in his base.
Accelerated Casting, as the name suggests, is a practical skill that speeds up the casting time of abilities.
With the Shared Connection, Su Ping need not worry about having too many skills and thus lowering the skill level of the Timberwolf.
Naturally, being able to form a complete set of effects from skills would be ideal.
He could even guess that the man before him likely harbored a greedy desire for the Heart of Wood.
Su Ping's heart stirred at this thought, but a disdainful smirk played on his lips.
"One month? Forget one month, if I can't get Self-Healing to Proficient Level within half a month, then I'll consider myself defeated!"
A glint of greed flashed in Sun Zhaoju's eyes, and before anyone else could speak, he interrupted Su Ping without hesitation.
"Good! Since you're so confident, Su, let's make it half a month. If you can't do it within that time, then you'll have to put the cultivation method of the Heart of Wood up as the stake, how about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ping's heart turned cold, but his expression remained calm. Even Qin Xiaoxue, Qin Erlong, and Liu Fubu frowned.
Sun Zhaoju's behavior was indeed a bit unsightly.
Noticing the displeasure in everyone's eyes, Sun Zhaoju quickly added, "Of course, if you can do it, I'll accept the bet. Whatever you ask, just say the word!"
Su Ping's expression remained unchanged. "Good. If I can't get Self-Healing to Proficient Level within this half-month, I'll consider myself defeated. But the question is, what can you offer? Could it be the 'Accelerated Casting' cultivation method you mentioned earlier? Even if it has some value, it's still far from comparable to the Heart of Wood, isn't it?"
If it were any other Timberwolf, Su Ping wouldn't dare to boast like this.
But the Heart of Wood allowed for skill experience connection sharing with the Wolf Chronicle.
Making progress wouldn't be too difficult.
As Su Ping spoke, Qin Xiaoxue glanced at him, noticing that his demeanor was identical to when he had called out to her in this very reception room a few days ago.
Qin Xiaoxue's heart stirred, as if she understood something, and she coldly humphed, "Exactly. I've already experienced your Accelerated Casting.
Moreover, you can only break through one Novice-level skill per month, while Su Ping wants to choose half a month for each. This is an uneven match and wager. Let's just forget about it."
Liu Fubu, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
However, Sun Zhaoju narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.
He was somewhat uncertain, but a thought occurred to him. Could this young man be trying to bluff his way out of this situation? Perhaps he just wanted a way to save face?
But then, Sun Zhaoju's eyes gleamed with greed as he thought of the cultivation of the Heart of Wood.
The Heart of Wood!
If he could master the cultivation method that granted the Timberwolf this skill, what immense profits would it bring?
With this thought, Sun Zhaoju clenched his teeth. He had to get this young man to agree.
And so, under everyone's gaze, Sun Zhaoju declared, "Apart from the Accelerated Casting cultivation method, I have another stake! It's the incomplete cultivation method for the evolution of the Thousandwood Wolf!"
In an instant, not only the others but even Su Ping himself had only one thought: Has this guy gone mad?
