Chapter 430: Land Planning! Su Ping's Generosity!

Chapter 430: Land Planning! Su Ping's Generosity!

"Thank you, Pride Dragon!"

"The master is too kind. Serving the master is the mission of the Pride Dragon's birth!"

The mechanical voice sounded, and the opened channel revealed the cabin.

Su Ping took the lead and stepped out.

The weather in Lin Prefecture was even hotter than in the Imperial Capital.

Su Ping subconsciously narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of lightness emanating from every pore as he returned after such a long absence, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own doghouse, and what's more, his own place is no longer a doghouse!

Su Ping then looked around.

Behind the Cloud Heart, a temporary helipad had been repaired, spacious and flat.

After the Pride Dragon arrived, Su Ping had a specialized helipad built, along with an underground facility.

At this moment, several figures had already gathered here, waiting for Su Ping's return.

Among them were naturally Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai, the two leading figures.

The rest were people Su Ping recognized, familiar faces from the Breeder Association.

Apart from them, there were people from the Nexus Heart.

As Su Ping's figure slowly descended, these figures took the lead in greeting him.

"Su Ping, you've brought glory to Lin Prefecture and the Jianghai region!" Qin Erlong said, ignoring the young lady beside him. If not for their age difference, he would have probably given the young man in front of him a big hug.

Qin Xiaoxue glanced at the old man:

"Old man, am I not bringing glory to the family? I'm at least the proper fourth-ranked cultivator, right?"

Qin Erlong looked at Qin Xiaoxue:

"What does that have to do with you? Your fourth rank is from the Devil Capital, but Su Ping is a proper Jianghai Lin Prefecture cultivator! Come, Su Ping! We've finally waited for your return, do you want to go for a drink?"

In the past, this person only drank tea, but today he wants to drink alcohol, showing that he has been holding in his excitement for this day.

Su Ping shook his head helplessly:

"Old Qin, my situation..."

Qin Erlong was startled, then remembered the tomb seal incident. He scratched his head awkwardly:

"Blame me for not thinking it through. Never mind, after so many days in the Imperial Capital, you must be exhausted. Rest first, and when you're feeling better, the two of us will go for some tea."

Su Ping felt like he had received a pardon and quickly agreed: "Okay, great! This time, I brought back a lot of good tea from the Imperial Capital. Later, I'll treat you..."

Seeing the old man staring at him, his big egg-like head glistening in the sun, Su Ping quickly called out to Liu Fuhai.

The latter smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Qin Erlong, standing beside them, snorted:

"Xiao Ping, this old Liu has taken advantage of you. He should be the one treating us!"

Advantage?

Liu Fuhai finally spoke:

"Su Ping, regarding what you mentioned last time, the skill combination you spoke of has shown initial signs of success. Although it hasn't fully merged yet, there's a good chance that once the skill level reaches the standard, it will complete the advanced combination of that skill!"

With these words, Su Ping's eyes lit up, and this was indeed good news for him.

Although such an outcome didn't directly advance his current research, it held the most crucial significance.

Being involved in skill cultivation to this extent, especially with advanced skills, meant that once it was completed, the Bestiary would provide feedback in the form of universal experience points.

And that was exactly what Su Ping needed right now.

"Great! Later, when it's less busy, I'll go there to check it out!"

Upon hearing this, the two figures present finally understood. They exchanged a glance and then said:

"In that case, we'll take the lead and leave with our people. You've just returned from the Imperial Capital, so rest first. Tomorrow, when you're free, come find us for some tea."

After speaking, Qin Erlong looked at Qin Xiaoxue beside him:

"Xiaoxue, come with me. Your grandmother wants me to take you back and discuss your fourth companion's choice this time!"

Qin Xiaoxue, knowing what was important, nodded and reluctantly waved goodbye to Su Ping. She then left with Old Qin, Old Liu, and the other Breeder Association colleagues who had greeted them.

Su Ping finally breathed a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Guan Qianshan and the students who had arrived, those he was nominally their teacher. He smiled slightly:

"Don't worry about the rest for now! To celebrate my victory in the Profession Assessment Competition, all employees who signed contracts with the Nexus Heart will receive a reward!"

He didn't lack money!

Even if he wanted it, money was just a number to him, and he had long lost the concept of it.

However, these words made Guan Qianshan, standing before him, startled, and his expression turned slightly awkward:

"Su Ping, the Nexus Heart's finances aren't exactly prosperous recently..."

Huh?

Su Ping glanced at Guan Qianshan. Before he left, he had transferred last month's dividend from Ping Yun to Guan Qianshan! There were still several hundred million, at least.

In the Nexus of All Souls, the normal operations and expenses were manageable, and the facility was able to support itself.

Unless there were additional expenses beyond the development.

However, the construction of the Earth Heart and the completion of the Soul Heart should not have burned through such a large sum of money in a short time, right? Su Ping didn't want to ask too many questions in front of this group, but Guan Qianshan understood that some things had to be made clear in advance, especially when it came to financial matters.

Guan Qianshan quickly explained:

"Xiao Ping, it's like this. While you were participating in the profession assessment in the Imperial Capital, there were some things about the Nexus of All Souls that I didn't tell you about, fearing it would distract you.

Before, when Linzhou was bidding, the land east of the Nexus of All Souls, connecting to the West Dragon Lake, was all auctioned off! Additionally, the planning and initial construction costs of the Nexus of All Souls were still a bit short. Old Director Qin gave some leeway for a while, so there was still a gap in the land acquisition. I'll send you the specific agreement, contract, and account details later."

Hmm? So, apart from development, there's also a need for further land acquisition and planning?

Su Ping nodded, finding this explanation reasonable.

Otherwise, unless they were purchasing high-level resource companion beasts, there was indeed no way to spend all that money.

Su Ping acknowledged this point.

However.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback:

"Speaking of which, we've already bought quite a bit of land before. The Earth Heart's land covers a vast area, almost extending over ten kilometers. Will all this land be put to use?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Qianshan smiled:

"Xiao Ping, after you've rested a bit, go and take a look at the framework of the Earth Heart that we've set up! You should know, to meet your requirements, I and Director Bai have lost countless brain cells!

Furthermore, this region will undoubtedly appreciate in value with the presence of the Nexus of All Souls. It's better to buy it all now rather than letting others get it cheaply. This is also Old Director Qin's suggestion!

That person also provided some suggestions for the transformation of the Water Heart. After summarizing everything, starting from the entrance of the Nexus of All Souls, this entire path will be under the jurisdiction of the Nexus of All Souls!

Therefore, the transformation of the Water Heart, from the Lingxi River to the West Dragon Lake, is all prepared!"

Su Ping was taken aback, finally understanding who Guan Qianshan was referring to:

"The Ray Saint has returned?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a familiar soft voice sounded:

"What's up, Su Ping? You're not welcoming me?"

At some point, Meng Yao's figure appeared beside them.

Su Ping quickly waved his hand:

"Of course not. I couldn't find you in the Dragon Palace, and Ice Dragon King kept mentioning you."

Upon hearing this, the Ray Saint shrank his neck:

"Alright, let Old Guan and you handle it. I'm off to grind some experience. If you need me, come find me after I've finished grinding in the Water Heart."

After saying this, the Ray Saint, holding the Dream Heart's helmet, disappeared in an instant, clearly heading to the Dream Heart experience center on the street.

Su Ping glanced at Old Guan, who was about to speak again, and waved his hand:

"Alright, I'll transfer the money to you later. The bonus will be issued as usual, not a penny less. Let's go, after we get back, tell me about the changes and events over the past half a month."

He didn't care about this money; it was meant to be spent after earning it. Keeping it would serve no purpose.

After speaking, he turned to Dragon Sister:

"Dragon Sister, please take the Pride Dragon to the underground warehouse."

After she nodded, Su Ping led Old Guan back to the reception hall of the Wood Heart, where he sat on a familiar yet simple sofa, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Hehe, is home more comfortable?"

Old Guan took out a map and smiled:

"But let's talk about serious matters!"

He slowly spread the map on the long table in front of Su Ping.

It was immediately evident that this was a satellite bird's-eye view of the Nexus of All Souls.

This work is brought to you by Liujiu Book Bar.

The map was incredibly clear yet covered a vast area.

At this moment, the location of the Nexus of All Souls only occupied about one-sixth of this entire region.

Additionally, there was a dotted line extending to the West Dragon Lake, marking a vast open space.

"Now, apart from the completed Nexus of All Souls, the eastern section covers approximately 94.3 square kilometers!"

Su Ping's eyes widened: "This big?"

It was almost the size of a small city.

Su Ping couldn't help but feel like a land-grabbing landlord from the olden days, a grand landlord at that!

Moreover, this development in Linzhou's east might be due to his influence. The Nexus of All Souls aimed to become the top breeding base in the country and even the world.

These lands were just the foundation for the future.

It was indeed nothing!

He glanced at Old Guan: "Continue."

Old Guan nodded: "This time, because of your involvement, we invited numerous experts in this field for the design. Regarding the interior of the Nexus of All Souls, as we need to consider any changes you might make, there haven't been any actions yet."

And this time, the design of the Earth Heart alone was redesigned no less than ten times.

Now, it's those famous designers across the country, as well as the concept design map finalized by Mr. Bai, the general contractor.

You mentioned before that the Earth Heart should encompass the habitat of all surface companion beasts!

So, the finalized basic terrain elements include the Sand Heart of the yellow sand, the Ice Heart or Snow Heart of the snowy land, the Original Heart of the forest wilderness you mentioned before, suitable for insect and reptile companion beasts, and the underground cave kingdom tentatively named the Rock Heart, the Fire Heart of molten lava, and so on.

Within these, there are various distinct terrain facilities in the Earth Heart.

Besides referencing the survival of companion beasts, these terrains should also provide assistance to the Beastmasters who visit.

For example, in the snowy terrain of the ice mountains, there are cooling training areas specifically for companion beasts, deep snow combat zones, and some basic areas for pure play, like the skiing area for both companion beasts and Beastmasters.

All these are included in the design, and not to mention the construction cost of the ice mountains alone, excluding the maintenance of ice resources, is already over 2 billion...”

Subsequently, Guan Qianshan licked his dry lips, blinked, and listened to Su Ping, who seemed to be in a daze. He could only continue pointing and speaking:

“As for the West Dragon Lake, the design team plans to partially reroute the Lingxi River, making the final river leading to the West Dragon Lake more winding.

At that time, the adult will activate the Wavebreaker to assist in the alteration, and the cost won't be too high.

With the Lingxi River completely connected to the Water Heart, a flowing hot spring soaking area will be developed, along with the Water Villa of the All Elements Heart, a special water device on the West Dragon Lake for rafting, and similarly, some training areas for aquatic companion beasts...”

“Additionally, there's the public bus within the All Elements Heart, implemented at various stations. Of course, if it's the best, it can be expanded through the subway, but the cost will further increase...”

Listening to Old Guan's incessant introduction, Su Ping felt overwhelmed for the first time regarding his own affairs.

Indeed, for professional work, one must seek professional help!

However, the expenses are so high, it seems that the current situation can't keep up.

The most crucial question is, did he take too big of a step? After all, he doesn't seem to have that many companion beasts to study, to fill such a vast land and usage.

But, this isn't Old Guan's problem, it's his own issue.

And according to this situation, sooner or later, there will be a need for it.

As for money?

The current Su Ping, wanting to make money, is still quite easy.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything further.

Instead, looking at the incessant Old Guan, he finally took a breath, drank a sip of tea, and then Su Ping asked about his own business:

“Regarding the library location I mentioned before, have you confirmed it?”

Upon these words, Old Guan directly pointed to a spot on the map: “According to what you said, the library is extraordinary, so it's not suitable to place it too far. Luckily, the Wood Heart here, after the Wolf King moves out,

Besides the Spring Heart of that forest, there's also your resting place and your interconnected laboratories.

Even the previous guest rooms are completely empty now, leaving a large vacant area.

How about building the library here in the Wood Heart?”

Su Ping nodded.

The Wood Heart is the initial base of the All Elements Heart.

It's also Su Ping's daily research location,

and the library, where his breeding insights and breeding methods obtained through various channels will be stored in the future.

Its preciousness goes without saying.

After a pause, Su Ping looked at Old Guan again: “Uncle Guan, the designers you found, did they mention how to arrange the Dragon Companion?”

Hmm?

Guan Qianshan was taken aback. He, of course, knew that the young boss in front of him had a dragon companion: “Xiao Ping, your crystal dragon, are you keeping it by your side?”

Su Ping scratched his head:

“It's not just one crystal dragon!”

He stretched out his hand, instantly summoning.

The crystal dragon, Xiao Hui, and the ghost dragon, Xiao Hei, appeared:

“These are two, and in the future, there might be more. For this type of dragon, there might be five or more. If they're all kept by my side, it's not quite suitable, so, do you want to ask your designers,

what kind of design can the Dragon Heart have?”

Guan Qianshan blinked, then revealed a thoughtful expression: “This... seems like there's no precedent.”

Subsequently, he glanced at the two little dragons in front of him.

Five or more?

These are dragons! Not wolves!

He really wanted to ask, where did his little ancestor plan to rob these precious gems?
