Chapter 300: Su Ping's Face!
Chapter 300: Su Ping's Face!
Anling Tree Cabin,
Located in the northwest of North Cold City, a small town named Anling City.
Here, it is already considered the true border of the entire Dragon Nation.
However, Anling is situated within the protection of the military, part of the northern defense line, and it has the Anling Snow Mountain, so despite being on the border, the area is still relatively safe.
Moreover, as a series of snow-capped peaks in the extreme north of Northern Province, Anling, though not as resource-rich as Heavenly Mountain, has a unique environment that provides a considerable amount of ice, water, and wind resources and pets.
Therefore, this small town in the northwest of North Cold City is still quite bustling and lively.
Anling Tree Cabin is a very famous place in this city.
After all, the owner of this breeding base, Zhao Lintian, is a renowned figure who led Northern Province to secure the seventh place in the Breeding Master Tournament a few years ago.
Although this ranking is not particularly high, especially considering he bred a new evolutionary form, it is still considered the top breeder in this small city of Anling.
Additionally, Zhao Lintian is also the honorary president of the Anling City Branch of the Beast Tamer Association.
The main pets bred at Anling Tree Cabin are the Forest Wolf and Snow Wolf.
Of course, there are other pets being raised as well, but they are not as famous as the Forest Wolf.
After all, Zhao Lintian became a senior specialized breeder by breeding the Forest Wolf, so naturally, the Forest Wolf is more special to him in Anling Tree Cabin.
Su Ping sat in the car, continuing to read the information about Anling Tree Cabin and the Thorn Wolf, nodding in agreement.
The information was more detailed than what he had seen before, especially regarding the Thorn Wolf.
Apart from what was known from the Breeding Master Tournament, Rong Mang had gathered even more details.
There were also some materials and battle videos collected by breeders after they had finished breeding the Thorn Wolf.
The Thorn Wolf is a pet the size of a calf, with claws sharper than steel and a long tail covered in dense spines.
Its fur is as hard as steel needles, and when it enters a full combat state, all the fur stands up, resembling an exploding hedgehog.
It is a well-rounded attacker and defender with exceptional close-combat abilities.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction as he watched the video of the Thorn Wolf.
At the same time, the vehicle sped down the road, and at the end of the line of sight, a snow mountain came into view.
At the foot of the continuous snow mountain, a small town appeared, much smaller than Linzhou and North Cold City.
At the same time, a large wooden sign appeared on both sides of the road:
'Welcome to Anling City...'
The vehicle did not stop but continued through the city center, heading northwest towards Anling City.
As they entered deeper into the forest, the horizon rose, indicating they had entered the mountains.
After driving for about twenty minutes, Su Ping's line of sight finally reached a flat forest clearing.
A fence was erected, enclosing a large base.
In front of the base, four large characters made of wood and thorns stood:
"Anling Tree Cabin!"
On the sign, a wooden carving of a Forest Wolf's head and paw prints served as decoration.
At the entrance of the base, there were not just the car Su Ping and his companions were in.
Clearly, Anling Tree Cabin was quite famous in Anling City, and many beast tamers had come to breed their pets.
Although Anling Tree Cabin was not as large as Su Ping's own Heart of All Spirits, it was still a considerable size, situated on a hillside, backed by the vast Anling Snow Mountain and dense snowy forest.
The car stopped, and Su Ping and his two companions got out.
"Hello, may I ask who the three of you are? Did you make a reservation?"
Anling Tree Cabin was quite formal. As they entered the reception area of the base, a receptionist smiled and asked.
"No reservation, I'm Su Ping. Is Master Zhao here? I need to discuss something with him!"
The receptionist smiled.
"Mr. Su, if you don't have a reservation, you might have to wait a bit as Master Zhao is quite busy. Could you tell me what you need to discuss? I can make a reservation for you. Is that okay?"
Su Ping smacked his lips, showing no particular emotion.
Was his reputation really that big?
Now, it seemed that even the people at a breeding base didn't recognize his name.
Indeed, Cold Sir's measures were quite effective.
It really did lower his profile, saving him from a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Looking at the sunny smile on Su Ping's face, the receptionist felt a bit puzzled.
This young man's attitude was a bit too presumptuous, directly naming a name and demanding to see Master Zhao?
Even the breeders and beast tamers from the association in Anling City would need to inform Master Zhao first if they wanted to see him.
Moreover, after being refused, he still had that smile on his face, so he probably wasn't some arrogant bigwig.
With this thought, the receptionist quickly interrupted Su Ping's thoughts:
"Sir, is that okay? If it's okay, I'll make a reservation for you."
Although Su Ping was delighted that his low profile meant even the receptionist at the breeding facility didn't recognize his name, he was well aware of the evasive nature of such responses. He knew all too well that if he really waited for an appointment, it might take several days just to get a meeting.
However, Su Ping didn't feel the need to put on airs with a receptionist. He glanced at Rong Mang beside him:
"Brother, do you have his phone number?"
Rong Mang shrugged:
"Actually, I don't. Should I ask Grandpa?"
For the Rong Family, the Pine Ridge Cabin was not a significant matter. Rong Mang had no direct connection to it, and if not for Su Ping's interest, he might not even have known about this breeding facility in Anling City.
"Never mind, it's not worth bothering him over such a small matter."
Su Ping smiled at the receptionist. It wasn't her fault, and at his own place, the Heart of All Spirits, unless it was something important or if the person was a close acquaintance, it wouldn't be easy to meet him directly either.
So, this was purely due to Su Ping's own lack of preparation, and it had little to do with anyone else.
With that in mind, Su Ping thought for a moment and began searching through his contacts. Although most of his connections were in Jianghai Province, he wasn't without options. After all, there was a breeding master in Northern Province whom Su Ping knew.
He called Master Yin Luo:
"Hello?"
"Hello, Su Ping, what's up?"
Master Yin's voice came through the phone. This usually indifferent master of the necromancer breeders was unusually enthusiastic when speaking to Su Ping.
"Ha, Master Yin, I wanted to ask you if you know the breeder Zhao Lintian from the Pine Ridge Cabin in Anling City?"
Master Yin paused for a moment before responding:
"Did he offend you?"
Su Ping's eyelid twitched: "No, it's just that I don't have many connections here, and you're the only one I could think of!"
"Hmm… I don't know him, but wait a moment…"
The call disconnected, and Su Ping shook his head, realizing that from the tone of the conversation, Master Yin had genuinely thought that some high-level breeder from Northern Province had dared to offend this young man.
And now, he realized it was just a matter of connections.
It was undeniable that a breeding master's network of contacts was not to be underestimated, especially when that master was one of the few necromancer breeders in the Dragon Nation.
Sure enough, it didn't take long. Within twenty minutes, hurried footsteps approached, and the three of them, who looked unusually young, were immediately spotted in the waiting room.
"Master Su, it's truly an honor to have you visit! Your presence at the Pine Ridge Cabin is a great blessing for me, Zhao Lintian!"
Su Ping stood up and quickly shook hands with the breeder he had never met before:
"I've long wanted to visit Master Zhao. Now that I'm in Northern Province, I rushed over. As I suspected, Master Zhao is indeed as renowned as they say…"
Flattery is only meaningful when it comes from the right person. An ordinary breeder would not have caught Zhao Lintian's attention. But who was standing in front of him now?
A young man who had developed a new evolutionary form of the Forest Wolf and the super-rank skill, the Sun's Heart.
The Pine Ridge Cabin had built its reputation on the Forest Wolf, so any news about its evolution was of particular interest to Zhao Lintian.
How could he not know about the recent breakthrough in the breeding competition? What he didn't expect was that the 'prodigy' he used to lecture his children would actually come to him.
Zhao Lintian quickly arranged for tea and led the three of them into the VIP Reception Room, leaving the receptionist feeling a bit uneasy.
Once everything was settled, Zhao Lintian finally turned to Su Ping, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked:
"Master Su, what brings you to my humble abode? Do you have any specific questions?"
Su Ping was not one to beat around the bush. He valued efficiency and spoke directly:
"Actually, I'm very interested in the evolution of the Forest Wolf. I've heard that Master Zhao has bred an exceptional Thorn Wolf, and I'm particularly interested in it. I was wondering if you would be willing to sell the breeding method for the Thorn Wolf? Of course, I understand that with your abilities, money is not an issue. We can discuss other resources or conditions for the evolution of other pet beasts."
Upon hearing this, the enthusiasm on Zhao Lintian's face slightly diminished. Rong Mang and Su Ping exchanged a glance, and Rong Mang shrugged, as if to say, 'I told you so, it's not that easy!'
However, just as Rong Mang thought this, Zhao Lintian reconsidered and said:
"If it were anyone else, I would have shown them the door. But for the sake of Master Su… it's not impossible…"
Rong Mang's expression froze for a moment, and he turned to look at the senior breeder of the Pine Ridge Cabin, still not quite processing the situation.
Didn't breeders treat their breeding achievements like their own lives?
Was his cousin's reputation really that significant?
Originally, I was going to release this earlier, but I encountered some bad luck and had to delay. I apologize, and there will be another chapter shortly.
