Chapter 32: Su Ping's Contract Companion Beast? Xiao Qing's Debut!
Chapter 32: Su Ping's Contract Companion Beast? Xiao Qing's Debut!
As everyone's gaze fell upon Su Ping, he didn't flinch or even acknowledge the man at first. Instead, he ruffled the head of the quickly approaching Little Dot and smiled.
"Well done."
Then, he turned directly to the staff member responsible for recording in this area and raised a finger.
"One, please record this for me. Thank you."
The staff member nodded, understanding that this was about Su Ping's companion beast rental battle.
After completing this, Su Ping finally turned around, leading Little Dot down from the stage. Then, he smiled and said,
"You didn't say you wanted to battle my contract companion beast. I have so many Timberwolves here; of course, I'd choose the most suitable one!"
Zhou Shuchen glared at him, but his words only elicited laughter from those around them.
Indeed, Zhou Shuchen had only asked Su Ping to come up for a beast battle and hadn't specified that he wanted to fight his contract companion beast.
Now, not only had he failed to show off, but he had also been thoroughly defeated, and on top of that, he had lost money by hiring a companion beast for the battle.
Su Ping wasn't aware of the charges here, but the other students who had come together certainly knew.
These expenses were insignificant to Su Ping and some of the students, but for Zhou Shuchen, who had already taken out a loan of several million, it was clearly not as easy as he had initially claimed.
Standing next to Zhang Guowei was a young man whose eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Little Dot return to its normal size. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
As a staff member of the Flame King Corporation's breeding division, he was responsible for observing the companion beasts of newly contracted company reserve graduates and assessing their potential. Instinctively, he felt that this Timberwolf was a bit unusual.
However, his talent wasn't the True Eye, and it would be impolite to use his talent to observe others' companion beasts casually.
He could only glance at the strange little Timberwolf from time to time, deep in thought.
At this moment, Zhou Shuchen was clearly unaware of this. His face turned red, even more so than when he had used the fire element affinity earlier.
He glared at Su Ping, filled with hatred.
"Su Ping, do you dare to use your soul contract companion beast again?"
He had completely lost his senses, forgetting about the high costs here. All he wanted now was revenge—to defeat the pretentious man before him, then trample him underfoot!
He had even prepared some provocative words, but something unexpected happened again.
Su Ping nodded once more, meeting his angry gaze with the same indifferent expression as before.
"Sure, but you should take your companion beast for recovery and awakening first. We can battle again after your beast is ready."
It was a friendly reminder. After all, what did it matter to Su Ping if he waited?
Zhou Shuchen finally came to his senses, but he merely coldly humphed and carried the Crimson Fang Tiger to the recovery room that had been prepared earlier.
At this moment, some of the other students who had witnessed the previous battle were inspired. They quickly found suitable opponents and headed to the arena for companion beast battles.
This included Li Shu and Yin Yin.
Li Shu's companion beast was a plant-type beast called Lozi Song. It had average mobility and combat power but could use the skill 'Pine Nut Bomb' by swinging its branches.
This was an extremely powerful attack and a rare low-level plant-type companion beast with decent combat prowess.
Unfortunately, Li Shu's Lozi Song hadn't mastered this skill yet. So, facing its opponent, a Long-Tailed Weasel, it could only swing its branches without causing any harm.
Li Shu could only watch helplessly.
As for Yin Yin's companion beast, it was worth mentioning. It was a special beast called Cloud Butterfly, with a racial potential that had reached the peak of the elite grade. Its combat power was average, but it could create illusions and release a fragrance that confused the mind.
Its appearance was extremely beautiful and matched Yin Yin's overall temperament.
At the same time, combined with Yin Yin's talent, Phantom Step, she seemed like a fairy in the clouds, leaving her opponent, a Silk Web Spider, which was typically weak against her beast type, completely bewildered.
This is quite interesting.
Su Ping watched the scene on stage and nodded. The Phantom Step talent could increase the Beastmaster's speed and was very useful for dodging Companion Beast attacks.
Although it couldn't directly enhance his own or his Companion Beast's combat power, it was still a highly practical ability.
Just from this brief encounter, it was clear how attractive this was. Many young Beastmasters, including some who wanted to impress the beauty, had gathered to watch.
In this Pet Training Battle Arena, the only way to impress was through strength.
In this arena, Su Ping was the only one renting out Companion Beasts.
Yin Yin and her classmates' battle had attracted a crowd, and in this short time, even the Elite-grade Timberwolves had been rented out, except for Little Dot, who had just been used by Zhou Shuchen.
The previously quiet outdoor arena was now bustling with activity.
Su Ping felt delighted.
Indeed, this Class Beauty had unexpected benefits. Perhaps when he became successful, he could hire a few more beauties to attract these young, foolish Beastmasters to spend their money. Su Ping saw great potential in this idea.
"Brother Ping, how much can you earn from this kind of thing in a day?"
Li Shu, standing nearby, asked excitedly.
Zhou Shuchen, waiting for Crimson Fang Tiger to recover in the treatment room, also perked up his ears. He wanted to listen in.
How much money could this guy who had willingly fallen into greed and was covered in the stench of copper coins earn in a day?
Su Ping smiled slightly, not hiding anything from the others:
"Not including the minimum guarantee, just from this brief Companion Beast battle, there's an income of over twelve thousand!"
Common-grade Beasts cost five hundred per battle, and Elite-grade ones cost one thousand two hundred.
Currently, all the Beasts were rented out except for Little Dot, who had just been used by Zhou Shuchen.
The price was just right.
"Wow! This money is so easy to make!"
Li Shu was envious. His father, a media editor, earned only a little over twenty thousand a month, which was already considered a good salary in Linzhou.
Beside him, Zhou Shuchen's eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists.
Money!
If he truly didn't care about money as he claimed, why didn't he pay off his loan first? Zhou Shuchen grew even more resentful. Wait! When Crimson Cloud recovers, he'll show this guy that earning money wasn't as easy as he thought!
However, just as this thought crossed his mind, two identical figures appeared before Su Ping and spoke to him:
"Hey, are you in charge of renting out these Timberwolves? Do you have any more? We're twin brothers, and we want to train together to improve our cooperative Beast combat. We need two Timberwolves of the same level, around Fifth Rank to Seventh Rank. Do you have any that meet these requirements?"
Su Ping was surprised to see the twins, he realized that he only had Little Dot left.
The twins seemed to understand this as well, and one of them scratched his head, while the other, Zhou Shuchen, smirked and said:
"Su Ping, don't you have a Contract Companion Beast? Why don't you use it with this Timberwolf? I'm just not sure if your Companion Beast meets their level requirements."
Clearly, Zhou Shuchen was being sarcastic.
After all, Su Ping had just defeated his Crimson Fang Tiger with Little Dot without using his Contract Companion Beast. Although he hadn't explicitly stated it, he had led his classmates to believe that his Timberwolf was no match for Crimson Fang Tiger.
Naturally, facing the twins' requirement of Fifth Rank to Seventh Rank, it was obvious that Su Ping's Companion Beast didn't meet their needs.
However, seeing the twins' expectant gaze, Su Ping nodded:
"Sure."
Then, to the astonishment of Zhou Shuchen and the other students, a white light shone, and Little Qing, who had never had a chance to show off, finally appeared!
