Chapter 47: The Side Effects of Wolf Tobacco and the Value of the Laboratory (Part 2)
Chapter 47: The Side Effects of Wolf Tobacco and the Value of the Laboratory (Part 2)
At the bottom of the record, a new log entry appeared, still documenting the day's events:
【Discovery of the effects and applications of Wolf Tobacco on Forest Wolves. Forest Wolf Record experience +100 points. Fully understanding and uncovering the specific effects of Wolf Tobacco can earn additional experience.】
Indeed!
An unimaginable joy shone in Su Ping's eyes as he stared intently at the Forest Wolf before him, which had just completed its enlightenment.
However, Su Ping's eyebrows soon furrowed slightly.
As the light faded, the tiny Forest Wolf appeared before Su Ping.
The Truth Eye also quickly discerned the state of the little wolf:
【Forest Wolf (Wild - Weakened)】
【Current Level: Common Seventh Rank】
【Breed Potential: Elite Tenth Rank】
【Skills: Sunlight Siphon (Beginner), Accelerated Growth (Beginner), Vine Strangulation (Proficient), Self-Healing (Beginner), Heart of Wood (Beginner)】
Indeed, from the feedback of the Truth Eye, the little wolf seemed to have no changes or differences. Even the skill Heart of Wood had already appeared on this little fellow.
The woody fragrance emanating from it also fully confirmed everything.
The weakened state was not a problem,
However, the biggest issue was that, in the previous experiment, Su Ping had specifically chosen two young wolves of the same rank to cultivate together to ensure the experiment wouldn't be affected.
And the rank of these two little wolves was Common Eighth Rank! In other words, while Wolf Tobacco further enhanced the Forest Wolf's effectiveness regarding Heart of Wood, it caused a decrease in its own rank.
What principle was this? Su Ping frowned, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment. It was then that he truly felt the meaning of the saying, "When you need a book, it's too late to borrow it."
Nevertheless, he quickly made a mark on the little wolf and recorded this discovery in his diary as documentation.
Afterward, Su Ping didn't waste any time. He took out the scythe stored in his Beastmaster's space and continued to harvest the vast field of Wolf Tobacco.
Earlier, Su Ping had been uncertain and thus hadn't attempted more complex experiments.
But now it seemed that the effects of Wolf Tobacco were indeed shrouded in mystery beyond his imagination.
It was necessary to proceed with direct essence extraction and live experiments.
Although Su Ping had refining equipment at home, he still lacked some items. Setting aside other considerations, the medicine cauldron he had was sufficient for regular use, but it was obviously too cumbersome for extracting Wolf Tobacco, with both time and labor costs being too high.
There were also instruments for observation and record-keeping.
With this in mind, Su Ping, who had just harvested a large patch of Wolf Tobacco, felt a bit overwhelmed.
There were numerous online channels for selling various resources, but he genuinely didn't know where to purchase these precision instruments used exclusively by breeders.
"Su Ping? It's rare for you to call me. Did you complete the bet with Sun Chaoju?" said Liu Fubu, the vice-president, whose knowledge of this field was likely unparalleled in all of Linzhou.
Amidst Liu Fubu's cheerful laughter, Su Ping played coy:
"You'll find out in a couple of days, Liu. I want to ask, where can I buy the material essence extraction machine and the material observation breeding instrument? I have some new ideas I want to try out."
"Haha, I guessed as much, Su Ping. Do you know what's most important for a breeder?"
Perhaps because Su Ping was being coy, Liu Fubu didn't answer directly but instead asked a question in return.
"What?" Su Ping asked, giving Old Man Liu some face.
"Of course, the laboratory! With your abilities, you can definitely come to the Breeder Association and apply to rent a separate laboratory. If you want to purchase your own instruments, that's also possible. The Breeder Association sells them."
Old Liu continued, "There are three types of the material essence extraction machines you mentioned at the Breeder Association. Each has its own advantages and effects, and I'll send you the other instruments you need. Just take a look and place the order when you're ready."
Liu Fubu, the Vice President, sounded extremely straightforward, "When you're done with the order, give me the order number, and I'll use my privileges to give you the highest discount."
Su Ping smiled, "Thank you, I'll visit you when I have time!"
"When? I'll adjust my schedule," Liu Fubu's cheerful voice made Su Ping hesitate.
He pursed his lips, about to speak when he heard laughter from the other end of the call, "Hahaha, just kidding with you, little guy. But if you have time, you can come over at the end of the month. I'll be teaching at the Breeder Association then, and only Wolf-type Companion Beast Breeders are qualified to attend."
"I don't know if it will be useful or helpful to you, but no matter how talented a breeder is, it's best not to just close the door and invent the wheel."
This time, Su Ping's eyes lit up with genuine excitement.
Although he had the help of the Beast Companion Breeding Manual, it was like having the solution to a high-level math problem and answer right in front of him. He knew the answer, and if he encountered an identical problem, he could replicate the solution.
However, the thought process behind the solution, the ability to apply it to similar problems, and the skill of extrapolation had nothing to do with him.
'Books are only useful when needed,' he thought, and he certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Excitedly, Su Ping hung up the call and opened the website link sent by Old Liu, an internal member-only purchasing site for breeders.
However, as soon as he opened it, Su Ping was stunned.
He somewhat understood why Old Liu had suggested applying to rent a laboratory at the Breeder Association when he asked about instrument purchases.
The items listed were incredibly outrageous:
【Molecular Automation Core Compression Extraction Machine: An integrated machine controlled by a mechanical core, capable of compressing all types of resources except elemental ones, extracting their essence, and condensing it into...】
There was a bunch of messy descriptions, and Su Ping could barely understand most of it. But all he could see was this machine, resembling a large toilet bowl connected to a computer screen and washing machine, followed by a string of zeros.
At this moment, Su Ping fell into deep thought.
Old Liu had mentioned giving him a discount within his privileges. So, how big was this discount? Could he reduce three hundred million to one million? Well, ten million would do too!
Obviously, in a dream, Su Ping's imagination could come true.
Unfortunately, this was reality.
Moreover, this was just the purchase cost of one machine, and there were other expenses and additional machines to buy.
Suddenly, Su Ping, who had just felt he had enough money, stared at the countless wolf tobacco filling his small Beastmaster space and shouted to the heavens, "I need customers! I need to make money! I need to build my own laboratory!"
