Chapter 42: Plum Grove Pine and Li Shu, Resources Delivered! (Part 1)
Chapter 42: Plum Grove Pine and Li Shu, Resources Delivered! (Part 1)
In the afternoon, Su Ping was engaged in the work he was most familiar with.
Wearing a mask, holding a pair of tweezers, and with a wooden basket on his back, he continued to sift through the forest wolf droppings that resembled sawdust.
However, this time, he wasn't the only one enduring this torment.
Beside him, Li Shu wore a look of sorrow and indignation:
"Ping, is this how you want me to experience the breeder whispered. "Are you showing me what it's like to be a breeder and live like this?"
Su Ping glanced at him:
"If you don't want to, get lost! There are plenty of Junior Breeders out there who want to be apprentices."
Li Shu immediately deflated and resumed his diligent work of scooping poop.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction after glancing at him.
Although Li Shu was a bit eccentric, he was reliable and enthusiastic.
He was a good assistant.
Indeed, an assistant.
It had been two days since he arrived to deliver the Intermediate Breeder certificate to Su Ping.
During these two days, Su Ping felt like he had received more phone calls than in his entire life.
This was the influence brought about by the Breeder Association's endorsement.
Su Ping now began to understand the power of such official organizations.
Then, he turned his original phone into the reception line for the Heartwood Base and applied for a new one for himself. He sent the new number to his contacts, finally allowing for some peace and quiet.
However, while there were many inquiries over the phone, most of them didn't pursue it further after hearing the price.
Those who truly intended to pay for breeding were the Beastmasters who came in person to take a look.
And the one responsible for receiving them was Li Shu, who handled the reception in the morning and spent the afternoon learning the basics of interacting with forest wolves from Su Ping.
As for Su Ping, he directly pleaded for mercy and informed Vice President Liu to take down the promotional advertisement. At the same time, he wrote down the breeding prices and a new rule at the entrance: "Only one forest wolf will be bred per week. Please make an appointment and queue if you wish."
Finally, the world became completely quiet.
Money was never enough, but the purpose of earning money was to enable better breeding of beast companions, and Su Ping naturally understood that the main focus should not be lost.
Otherwise, Su Ping wouldn't have had the time to leisurely scoop poop with Li Shu here.
As for going to the Cloud Heaven Resort again to rent beast companions, Su Ping didn't go.
After his conversation with Qin Xiaoxue, Su Ping's vigilance towards the resort increased significantly.
As he had said that day, constantly renting so many beast companions meant he had to be at the resort all the time, worrying and getting tired.
Although the battles were highly beneficial for the beast companions' growth, occasional visits were fine, but doing it every day was too much for both the wolves and Su Ping.
Li Shu glanced at Su Ping, a genuine admiration flashing in his eyes.
He may have seemed eccentric, but he wasn't stupid.
That night, when he video chatted with his father, Li Senlin, and mentioned Su Ping's Intermediate Breeder certificate, his father's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
Even his own father was eager to borrow Li Shu's connection to interview Su Ping, but he was politely declined.
What kind of concept was it that a friend of the same age could change his father's overall impression of his social skills?
Although Li Shu's talent was average, in a world so closely tied to beast companions, no one didn't aspire to become a professional Beastmaster or a profession that relied solely on beast companions.
It represented not only passion but also a promising future.
So, he wanted to stay here a little longer.
Learning a little more from Su Ping was his goal.
Su Ping didn't mind, and he was even pleased with Li Shu's presence.
The reason was quite simple.
At this very moment, Su Ping stood behind Li Shu, who was covered in a thick pile of Forest Wolf feces.
They both stood in front of the same object, a small plum grove pine tree, approximately one meter tall.
The lush green branches swayed gently, seemingly welcoming the arrival of its owner.
This was the Plum Grove Pine, a Plant-type Beast with an Elite-tier racial potential.
Its primary combat skill was the Pine Kernel Bomb, which allowed it to condense pine kernels on its branches and shoot them out with great force, making it a stationary cannon-type Beast.
"Do you know why I asked you to shovel shit? First, the smell of Forest Wolf feces can significantly reduce their aggression towards you, and even eliminate hostility. With me here, you can get closer to other wild Forest Wolves more easily.
Second, some Beasts in the Plant category have an excellent absorption effect on Forest Wolf feces, which can accelerate their growth. The Plum Grove Pine is one of them.

That's all. If you want to shovel for free, you better give me a thousand, or you won't even have the qualification to touch it!"
Li Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately straightened his body:
"Blame me! I didn't understand the good intentions of my foster father. I deserve to die! Foster father, rest assured, I'll take care of the Forest Wolves' shit from now on! If the pine kernels aren't clean enough, I'll use them myself!"
As Li Shu patted his chest and made his promise, Su Ping glanced at him.
However, he didn't bother to refute this guy's antics and instead turned his attention to the Plum Grove Pine in front of him.
He agreed to let Li Shu stay at the Heartwood Base for a while, not only because of their good relationship but also because Li Shu had indirectly helped him a great deal in the past, which led to Qin Xiaoxue's arrival.
After all, without Qin Xiaoxue, it would have been difficult for the Heartwood Base to obtain its initial funding, let alone the subsequent acquaintance with Vice President Liu and the special bet.
Aside from these, there was another primary reason, and that was this Plum Grove Pine.
Within the Divine Beast Codex, there were countless Beast records waiting to be illuminated and activated.
Although this Plum Grove Pine wasn't his Beast, as long as he had a close relationship with one of them, he could activate its record.
Upgrading was one aspect, but upon activation, he would also receive corresponding rewards.
Regarding the rewards from the Divine Beast Codex's origin, Su Ping naturally wouldn't let them slip away.
Therefore, Su Ping also wanted to take advantage of Li Shu's presence during this time to see if he could get closer to this Plum Grove Pine and increase their intimacy to the required level, thus illuminating its Beast record and obtaining a reward.
In preparation for this, Su Ping even consulted a lot of information and requirements for cultivating the Plum Grove Pine, but he didn't find anything too useful or valuable.
He then asked Qin Xiaoxue for some tips on cultivating Plant-type Beasts, which finally gave him some confidence.
Forest Wolf feces are a highly sought-after fertilizer for most Beasts in the Plant category.
Unfortunately, the formula for this type of Plant-type Beast fertilizer is also extremely rare, and even with money, it's difficult for Su Ping to collect.
Su Ping could only use the most basic method, mixing high-quality soil with Forest Wolf feces and applying it around the Plum Grove Pine.
Before Su Ping could properly communicate with the Plum Grove Pine and feel the delicate expressions of a Plant-type Beast, his phone suddenly dinged.
He took it out and saw a message:
[Your purchased items have been delivered. Please receive them promptly. Thank you!]
A hint of joy appeared in Su Ping's eyes.
The materials he purchased for several million had finally arrived!
The cultivation of the Forest Wolves' Heartwood, the consumption of Xiao Qing's Poison-type resources, could it finally begin?
