Chapter 584: Jade Pup! Su Ping's Improvement Method?
Chapter 584: Jade Pup! Su Ping's Improvement Method?
"Alright, I believe everyone has been eagerly awaiting the official start of this Beastmaster Competition. So, let's welcome the first breeder to take the stage."
"They are breeders from the Central Province, led by Vice President Li Qinglong of the Central Province Beastmaster Association and his team of breeders!"
As the host's words fell, a group of figures emerged from the side of the stage.
A man in his thirties stepped forward; his plump cheeks instantly made him endearing.
Three other figures followed him, all young, with flushed faces. Two of them gazed admiringly at the youngest person seated in the grand judge's position.
Su Ping smiled at the two obvious fans.
He had already heard that among the breeders present, the ones from Minyue Province and the Central Province had bred the evolved form of the Forest Wolf.
He recalled that the evolved creature bred by the Central Province breeders was called the Jade Pup.
The Jade Pup, an evolved life-type creature with Overlord-level racial potential, was the evolved beast that Su Ping was particularly interested in.
However, he was surprised that the first breeder to take the stage was from the Central Province.
Seeing Su Ping's smile, several people in the audience snapped back to attention. When the host asked a question, the breeder named Li Qinglong remained calm, befitting his position as the Vice President of the Central Province Beastmaster Association.
"Greetings to the esteemed judges, respected Masters Zhu and Liu, and viewers across the nation!
I am Li Qinglong from the Central Province Beastmaster Association. This is my student, Zhou Xiaoxiao, along with Fu Ping and Sun Hang. We have brought a bred companion beast, the advanced evolution of the Forest Wolf, a special attribute and life-type derivative evolution. It has achieved Overlord-level racial potential: the Jade Pup."
As he spoke, the female breeder named Zhou Xiaoxiao extended her hand, and a summoning light appeared, revealing a companion beast to everyone's eyes.
After seeing this creature, Su Ping understood why its evolved form was called a pup.
The adult Forest Wolf was as large as a young calf.
Its body length exceeded two and a half meters, making it a true giant wolf.
However, this evolved creature was only about forty centimeters tall.
Yes, forty centimeters, not even reaching the distance from a man's fingers to his elbow.
This was its length, and its height would barely reach a person's ankle.
Could this tiny creature be an Overlord-level companion beast? Even if someone claimed it hadn't reached a rank and was just a decorative beast, people might believe it.
After all, even the Money Cat, often bred as a decorative beast, reaches about half a meter in adulthood.
This little thing...
Su Ping's interest was piqued, and he examined the small creature.
Its tiny body aside, it emanated a faint, soothing white light, making it very pleasant to look at.
Its body, like lamb fat jade, and its long, snowy fur seemed to shimmer with a platinum glow, adding an indescribable charm to the creature.
Such a lovely companion beast!
Yes, Su Ping immediately recognized the value of this creature.
He didn't even need to see its abilities; its combat prowess was irrelevant.
Right, irrelevant! Even if an Overlord-level creature had incredible combat power, it wouldn't matter. Instead, its appearance could make it a high-end, adorable companion beast, sought after by wealthy individuals.
Of course, Su Ping maintained his professionalism.
While appearance was a consideration, it couldn't be the sole standard for evaluation.
However, after seeing this creature, Su Ping had already figured out some critical aspects of its evolution.
Indeed, just by observing its evolved form, Su Ping, with his knowledge of the Forest Wolf, had already grasped some crucial information about its evolution.
The most critical information Su Ping could confirm was that the evolution requirement for this Jade Pup was to breed the Forest Wolf in its juvenile form, not when it reached its peak maturity, as was the case for almost all companion beasts.
Such breeding requirements were extremely rare.
But there is still a chance of success.
On Lanxing, in a world where breeders and companion beasts coexist, what kind of wondrous evolution is there?
It is precisely because of this situation that the breeding and new evolution of companion beasts are endless, leaving people amazed each time.
Previously, there was a breeder who joined a corporate company and once boasted on social media that countless breeders throughout history had already developed and bred all possible evolution forms.
For these successors, creating an entirely new evolution form, especially for popular companion beasts, was an incredibly difficult task.
However, upon hearing these words, countless people scoffed.
Breeders are the kind of people who can create infinite possibilities. Such statements are merely excuses for fools.
With a shift in thought, Su Ping turned to look at Li Qinglong, the expert in Lin Wolf breeding, who was standing before him. Without explicitly stating his observations about the Jade Pup's evolutionary foundation requirements, he smiled and said:
"Life-type companion beasts are primarily of the recovery type and status boost type. I wonder which type this Jade Pup belongs to?"
"Master Su, the Jade Pup is mainly of the status boost type. One of its primary skills is 'Jade in Mouth'. The Jade Pup can create a Jade Orb for all living beings to consume.
It can restore energy and heal injuries, and it can also enhance the power of Wood-type companion beast skills."
Fu Ping, who was standing nearby, spoke up.
It was evident that this Jade Pup was a joint development among them, and there was no clear distinction between the primary breeders.
As Zhou Xiaoxiao spoke, she demonstrated the Jade Pup's skills on the training dummy in front of the camera.
The status boost skills and damage-dealing skills could be observed on the wooden training dummy.
At this moment, the Jade Pup's rank was only at the Elite level, but the effectiveness of its status boost and recovery skills, which were Life-type, was exceptional for its current stage.
Even the 'Life Fire Ring', the sole offensive skill associated with the Lin Wolf evolution, had impressive power and effects.
The judges in the arena exchanged glances, clearly impressed by the Jade Pup's performance.
Based on this situation, the value score would undoubtedly be high.
Value score and difficulty score.
These remain the two criteria for evaluation.
They are also the criteria used in the previous breeder competition.
Out of a perfect score of 100, the average score given by the regular judges, combined with the score of the grand judge, determines the final result.
However, this year, there are three grand judges, so their scores will also be averaged.
"Alright, the president of the Central Province and his students have demonstrated all the abilities of the Jade Pup. We must say that the little guy's adorable appearance and displayed abilities have impressed us all.
Next, please, judges, discuss and provide the value score!"
After a minute, the regular judges announced their scores.
'92'
'91'
'93'
'...'
Almost none of the scores were below 90.
However, this Jade Pup deserved such high scores.
Its abilities surpass those of ordinary Elite-level companion beasts, and it has the potential to advance to the Overlord rank. It is a rare Life-type status boost companion beast, and such a beast naturally commands a higher value.
Even they had not anticipated that the first contestant in this breeder competition would deliver such an impressive performance. The same was true for the three judges above.
"Alright, judges, the average value score given is 92!"
"The average score given by the three breeding masters is 93! Among them, Master Liu even awarded a remarkable 96 points!
Therefore, the final difficulty score for the Lin Wolf evolution, the Jade Pup, bred by the Central Province Breeder's Association, is 185 points! It's unimaginable that the first breeder to take the stage has achieved such incredible results.
However, we know that evaluating a breeder's achievements involves not only the value score but also the difficulty score!"
As the host's words concluded, Su Ping smiled and turned to the four people in the arena:
"Alright, you four, you can tell us about the resources you used. Of course, the Central Province has never missed a breeder competition, so you should understand that
This time, we are using an Emperor-rank Soul Judge. It can discern the truth from lies."
Li Qinglong nodded, but it was clear that compared to his previous evaluation of the Jade Pup's performance value, he was now in a tight spot.
Obviously, the resources required for breeding were not to be taken lightly.
As expected, Li Qinglong spoke with a slightly embarrassed tone:
"The resources used for breeding required Monarch-rank resources, Vitality Essence, and also needed the use of the Monarch-rank life resource, the Evergreen Orb. However, it will only consume a third of the Evergreen Orb's energy at most and won't use it all up."
"Additionally, resources like Sprite Leaf, Wood Marrow, and other Overlord-rank resources worth approximately four million will also be needed."
As he spoke, it was evident that all the judges' eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
The cost-effectiveness was too low.
With so many precious resources, a Monarch-rank companion beast could have evolved, and previously, Master Su Ping's Ten Thousand Wood Wolf, an Archduke Peak evolution, only required a single Monarch-rank Sun Crystal.
Yet this little pug required two complete Monarch-rank resources, and it was only Overlord-rank?
At this moment, the judges somewhat understood why this Jade Pup had taken the stage so early; the program organizers must have had their suspicions.
The difficulty score was quickly calculated as the judges exchanged glances.
Soon, score plates appeared one by one.
'40'
'45'
'52'
'...'
Compared to the high value score, the difficulty score of this item was so low it didn't even reach the passing line.
It was clear that it didn't meet the expectations of the majority present.
Although Li Qinglong and his team had anticipated this, they still felt a bit disappointed. However, the three young men behind them continued to look expectantly at Su Ping above.
The other two judges had already given their scores.
Zhu Hong was blunt, giving a low score of 40.
Liu Fuhai, out of respect for the Linlang evolution, awarded the highest score of 60.
However, Su Ping furrowed his brows, hesitating to speak.
Finally, he slowly took out his scoreplate and, under the gaze of the four people, wrote down a difficulty score of 50.
The four of them were somewhat disappointed, but it was within their expectations.
"The difficulty score is clearly not ideal. The final difficulty score, when added to the value score, is only 95. Combined with the previous value score, the Jade Pup's breeding evolution total score is 280!"
"This score is already not low. Thank you to Master Li from Central Province, and the resources they brought, as well as the Jade Pup."
Li Qinglong bowed, "Thank you, host, thank you, judges, thank you, Masters Su, Zhu, and Liu."
He turned to leave, but at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Wait!"
Everyone present was startled, and the camera shifted to Su Ping, who had spoken.
Su Ping, seated, smiled and looked at Li Qinglong, who was also a bit stunned and bewildered. Then he spoke:
"Breeder Li, I have another opinion on the breeding method for this Jade Pup. Would you like to hear it?"
Li Qinglong was taken aback, as was everyone else present.
Wait, what does another opinion mean? He hadn't even shared the previous opinion, and the Soul Judge can only determine if someone is lying or not; no one can piece together a breeding method from the stated materials, right?
However, it was clear that neither the people present nor the viewers of this live broadcast were fools. Even if they were, they would eventually realize it.
Su Ping's words meant that in such a short time, he had not only deduced the complete breeding method from these resources and the evolved form of the companion beast, but he had also found an alternative method?
No one in the room spoke, and the scene was silent. Only Li Qinglong, still dazed, subconsciously nodded:
"Please, your guidance."
