Chapter 260: The Expansion of the Heart of All Spirits! The Five Element Transformation is Complete! (Part 2)

Su Ping nodded, "Not bad."

"Then, what are your main breeding pets, and what Undead pets will you be using?" Bai Cang asked.

Bai Cang's question caught Su Ping off guard.

In fact, apart from the Origami Man, he didn't really care about the others.

As long as there were enough of them, they could unlock the Omniscient Bestiary when the time came.

So, Su Ping thought for a moment, "There are many. You can start by designing for a portion of the corresponding pets to give me a brief idea of your thoughts."

As soon as he said this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up.

"Breeder Su, do you want to diversify and breed other Undead-type pets? It's no wonder you're able to cultivate Hall of Fame Ultimate Skills at such a young age. You're truly a great breeder!"

"Bai Cang!"

The designer lady's face darkened. She was starting to regret bringing her embarrassing cousin.

Su Ping was used to it.

After all, there was also a bootlicker in the Wood Heart.

Bai Cang coughed awkwardly and continued, "For example, zombies in ancient cemeteries, corpse storage, and morgues; ghosts in schools and hospitals. These are relatively common themes, and someone as wise as you has probably already thought of some of these!

So, I'll give some more unique examples. Like a scarecrow-themed farm with wheat fields and such.

These types of venues are simple to create; you just need some tall plants like wheat stalks and corn. With the scarecrow's abilities, you can create a natural maze. Once inside, it's even hard to discern directions, making it both terrifying and convenient to play. However, there are size requirements for the venue, but the size of this place is more than enough.

Additionally, there's the Mirror Demon pet 'Corridor Mirror' paired with numerous ordinary crystal mirrors to create a 'Mirror World.' This requires a small terrain, but it's even harder to distinguish reality from illusion, making it extremely easy to get lost in the Mirror World. It's highly playable..."

Indeed, this guy had some serious skills.

The examples he provided were so impressive that even Su Ping felt enlightened and was tempted to give it a try.

Because it was genuinely interesting.

But Bai Cang wasn't done yet:

"With your abilities and talent, researching and placing these low-level pets is one aspect. Similarly, you can also create some interconnected advanced gameplay and scene arrangements.

For instance, rule-based gameplay, but this requires the cooperation of the pets. I can provide you with a detailed plan later.

Additionally, there's the collection and connection of clues in all horror scenarios, leading to the final boss!

Once completed, you can earn greater profits by providing clues and collecting them, leading to the final boss!

The boss must have a high level of prestige. At the very least, it should be strong enough to make the players feel more engaged.

Moreover, you can change the rules and conditions for defeating the final boss weekly, or even change the rules entirely if you wish. If you need it, I can help you contact some large Undead breeding bases to provide you with a brand-new rule implementation plan..."

Indeed, this guy was a freaking genius.

Su Ping was dazzled by his ideas.

But he was convinced by Bai Cang's proposal.

Placing the pets was one aspect, but it was also genuinely interesting.

Additionally, it wouldn't disrupt the ecosystem of the Undead-type pets. It just required Undead breeders to supervise them constantly.

With this in mind, Su Ping glanced at Bai Cang and said directly, "Okay, go measure the land and draft a detailed plan.

},

"Action": "Translation",

},

{

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "Oh, and Li Shu, go to the center of Linzhou City. Get ten of each of the basic-level pets: straw men, skeletons, jumping zombies, and origami men. Go to the finance department for the money."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Selecting pets with more challenging personalities, if Bai Cang could make these undead pets obey during the construction of the breeding base, that would be a real skill."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "If he could stay at the Spirit Beast Heart after that, it would be even better."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "Su Ping naturally didn't doubt whether Bai Cang would agree."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "He wasn't even a junior breeder, let alone an intern."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "However, some private pet academies had connections and attracted graduates with interest and talent. After awakening, they could join and be allocated opportunities upon graduation."

},

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "They would have the chance to work in various breeding bases as interns."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "Many times, they wouldn't even have the opportunity to interact with pets."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "Only after obtaining a permanent position could they further interact with pets. Even then, becoming a junior breeder was extremely challenging."

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

"Text": "If they could stay at the Spirit Beast Heart and skip the internship, as the current basic breeder of the Heart of Development, they would naturally receive Su Ping's significant support."

},

{

},

{

"Action": "Translation",

Next, it was time to focus on Xiao Qing's cultivation.

With the dual resources of the Wood and Poison systems, along with Su Ping's impending breakthrough, Xiao Qing and Su Ping simultaneously surpassed Xiao Zhi Qian Yi, both advancing to the Commander Second Stage.

However, at present, no evolutionary tendencies have been observed from Xiao Qing.

Of course, Su Ping wasn't in a hurry.

What he was more concerned about was another matter.

The thief in the Beast Tamer Space!

Every time Su Ping had some free time, he would search for the thief, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find it.

He even tried fishing for clues.

He had Xiao Qing secretly keep watch in the Beast Tamer Space, leaving a Flame Fruit there. If there was any sign of movement, Xiao Qing would immediately inform him.

Or, he set up wireless cameras for surveillance.

As mentioned earlier, the fruit had a peculiar similarity to Schrodinger's cat.

However, quantum entanglement occurs when the box containing the cat is not opened, and the cat is in a state of being both alive and dead.

Su Ping's Flame Fruit, on the other hand, was more straightforward and observable.

As long as it wasn't being observed, the Flame Fruit would undoubtedly disappear within a short time.

Once observed, regardless of how it was observed, there would be no changes.

Su Ping couldn't understand this, and he even suspected that he might be going crazy due to the pressure of his promotion.

In the end, he gave up and stopped paying attention to it in the following days.

Instead, he shifted his focus to his other pets, spending the time and energy he had aside from researching origami.

For instance, he would take care of the little crow, Ya Ya.

Whenever he had some free time, Su Ping would summon a Flame Fruit to feed the little crow.

Then, something happened that even Su Ping hadn't anticipated—two days ago, the little crow broke through.

Yes, it advanced from the Elite Peak stage to the Commander First Stage.

Could the racial limit be broken so easily? Su Ping was perplexed.

However, this further confirmed that the Flame Fruit might contain the energy traits of ancient times.

But this energy trait was something Ye Zhou hadn't figured out even after all these days.

Moreover, the start of the new semester, when Ye Zhou would return to school with Qin Xiaoxue and Dong Mu Xuan, was fast approaching.

For Su Ping, this was a relief.

Qin Xiaoxue's entertainment activities, aside from the Dream of the Elements, involved coming to see him.

And while she did come to see him, Su Ping, having finally stabilized the cultivation of the Elemental Counter Ultimate Skill, now had some time to spare.

However, another person was exhausted by this, and Su Ping couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Yes, it was none other than Old Sha.

Every time Qin Xiaoxue came, the Crown Wolf King, Mu Huang, would seek out Old Sha.

Initially, Old Sha was quite interested in this young one, and each time he challenged it, they had a blast.

But how could anyone not be annoyed by playing several times a day?

Fortunately, in the past few days, the retired veterans that Lin Lang, the teacher, had mentioned finally reported for duty.

These veterans were all from the War Wolf Division and had a great deal of experience in training wolf pets.

Coincidentally, these days, the Earth Core's territory had been developed, and without any nonsense, Old Liu waved his hand, and the Beast Tamer Association sent twenty each of three types of wolf pets, including Sand Wolves, Snow Wolves, and Flame Wolves, to the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits for free.

After the New Year break, within just ten days, the development and expansion of the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits began at an unimaginable pace.

As for the Soul Core, which was the main construction project, Su Ping would also go to check on it whenever he had the time.

It's safe to say that the construction was going very well.

As for Bai Cang, he spent his days getting along with the low-level undead pets, and Su Ping would occasionally offer some guidance, but ultimately, it was up to Bai Cang himself.

And so, on this day, at the Soul Core,

Su Ping stood at the cliff of the Soul Core, in front of the Hundred Birds Parasol Tree, chatting with it.

"What has Ya Ya been up to these days, coming and going at odd hours?"

Since Ya Ya's promotion to the Commander rank, it had been spending less time around the Hundred Birds Parasol Tree and instead, like before, would often go out, not returning home until late. If it weren't for the affinity boost from the Origami Book, Su Ping would have thought that the little thing had run away.

Naturally, Su Ping came to the Hundred Birds Parasol Tree to inquire about Ya Ya's whereabouts.

The branches of the Hundred Birds Parasol Tree shook slightly, making a 'swish swish swish' sound.

This sound made Su Ping pause:

"What did you say? It wants to be a hero?"

"Swish swish," the Hundred Birds Parasol Tree nodded.

Su Ping's forehead creased with black lines.

A hero made of a bird?

However, this little guy had a stubborn and strong-willed personality, and as a former wild pet, it was normal for it to yearn for freedom. Su Ping didn't bother to pay it any mind.

However, before Su Ping could think further, his phone rang on this ordinary night.

Liu Fuhai's excited voice came through the phone:

"Su Ping, come quickly! The Five Elements Cycle is almost complete!"

Su Ping finally snapped back to his senses.

The completion of the Five Elements Cycle also meant that the Elemental Counter Ultimate Skill was finally about to be completed!

I wrote over 7,000 words during the day, but I deleted and rewrote everything, so I'm posting this chapter late. Apologies, but it's just one chapter.
