Chapter 40: The Future of the Heart of Wood, Shadows in the Night (Part 3)
Ding-dong...
The doorbell rang, causing Su Ping to furrow his brows. Despite his exhaustion, he dragged his weary body to answer the door, not expecting any visitors without prior notice.
As the evening approached, two familiar figures appeared before him.
It was none other than the Zhang family's twin brothers, whom he had met earlier in the day.
"Oh, it's you two. Please come in!"
Su Ping, despite his exhaustion, mustered up his energy to greet the guests and led them to the reception room.
"I don't have much to offer, but please help yourselves."
Su Ping fetched two bottles of cola,
Although he had some tea and a beverage-making machine, he truly lacked the energy to be a proper host.
It was clear that the brothers hadn't come for such a trivial matter. After a quick thank you, the elder brother, Zhang Wen, spoke up:
"That..."
"Su Ping, just call me by my name."
Zhang Wen finally blurted out:
"Su Ping, what exactly are your services for training Lin Wolves? Do you have a business license or something?"
Although Jin Sheng, who seemed quite capable, had given Su Ping an extremely high evaluation earlier in the day, the brothers needed to see for themselves to be certain.
As they had said before, pet breeding was no small matter.
Aside from the enormous expenses, the most crucial aspect was its impact on their future!
So, it was understandable that the Zhang brothers were being cautious at this moment.
Su Ping smiled:
"Don't worry. If my training kills your pet, you won't need to sue me; I'll turn myself in."
After speaking, Su Ping's expression turned slightly serious:
"However, the training here is different from other places. The skill cultivated is the rare Wood-type skill 'Heart of Wood.' You should understand the value and significance of the Heart of Wood.
Therefore, the fee for successfully cultivating a pet is four million. If it's unsuccessful, the material cost is one million. Additionally, there's also skill level cultivation, but I don't have the time to take it on right now.
After some time, if you come back, there will be accelerated training for Lin Wolves, but I haven't decided on the pricing yet. If you're the first to experience it, I'll give you a discounted price."
Su Ping finished speaking, appearing as if he had given them a bargain.
Indeed, Su Ping had raised his prices!
The Zhang brothers exchanged glances, their faces filled with difficulty. After a moment of contemplation, the elder brother, Zhang Wen, spoke up:
"Su Ping, can't you make it a little cheaper?"
Su Ping shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I also need to take on some risk."
Seeing Su Ping's response, the two men finally spoke up, "Alright, I'll go discuss this with my family. Can I get back to you in a few days?"
Su Ping smiled, "Of course, where in the world is there a reason for forced buying and selling?"
The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief and took their leave.
Su Ping, however, fell into deep thought, not because of the discount, but because even if the two men paid him directly, he couldn't provide them with the cultivated Lin Wolves.
The resources and materials he had purchased were still on their way, and it would take some time before they arrived at his home.
Su Ping was deep in contemplation. He never thought that he would be satisfied with his current accomplishments. Being a breeder was a given, but not for the purpose of making money. After all, even the most exceptional breeders and the most revered master breeders couldn't compare to true high-level beastmasters.
Only by possessing extraordinary beastmaster abilities could Su Ping achieve his pursuit and dream.
The ability to breed was a means to indirectly enhance his own strength.
The arrival of the Zhang brothers was neither the first nor the last. As his abilities and reputation grew, there would undoubtedly be a constant stream of customers. He didn't want to be so busy that he didn't even have time to train his own companion beasts.
With that in mind, he considered whether he should find some helpers or, like other beast cultivation bases, establish a complete assembly line.
Blinking his eyes, Su Ping felt it was necessary for the future.
It wasn't purely for money; the beast cultivation base could provide an opportunity to constantly interact with a large number of companion beasts, allowing the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits to improve more rapidly, and thus, his strength would increase even faster.
As for money, who doesn't earn it?
His breeding abilities should be far superior to those of the other breeders in the market, right?
Shaking his head, Su Ping dragged his tired body and called the Lin Wolves back.
He allowed the Lin Wolves that had fought earlier to rest, and only those that hadn't participated in the training were called upon.
After making these arrangements, Su Ping resumed his contemplation of the previous issue.
However, he had barely thought for a short while when, already lacking rest, Su Ping's weary body slowly sank into slumber.
In the forest ahead, some of the Lin Wolves were resting, while others voluntarily joined the training group.
Thus, the vast Heart of Wood was now devoid of any human presence.
At that very moment, just behind the forest, in the area bordering the Cloudheaven Resort and the Spirit Stream River,
In the darkness of the night, a faint ripple appeared, barely noticeable.
This was a special spatial fluctuation.
Then, within this indistinct ripple, a small figure emerged out of thin air, tilting its head in confusion as it looked around.
But soon, the figure disappeared again, vanishing from sight.
Not long after, in the forest, where the Lin Wolves had been training, an old desert wolf seemed to stare at the distant Spirit Stream River, sniffing the air and revealing a doubtful gaze.
