Chapter 596: The New Year's Event Approaches!
Chapter 596: The New Year's Event Approaches!
The matter of the artificer was entrusted to President Peng by Meng Yao.
The latter naturally agreed readily.
Su Ping also had a conversation with him, and both sides confirmed that after the Spring Festival, they would carefully select a suitable one.
Su Ping was not particularly concerned about this.
As long as there was one, it would be fine.
For now, he had no intention of breeding any possess-type companion beasts.
Or rather, throughout the year, after sorting out the specifics of breeding the possess-type companion beasts using the Annihilation Eye, Su Ping had already decided to stop continuing this endeavor.
Whatever, he would think about it after the New year.
So, these days had been extremely comfortable for him.
When there was nothing to do, he would lie in the Heart of Spring, basking in the sun and looking at materials.
Although he had not yet found the few legendary-level resources that the Spring God wanted him to find, it wasn’t something that needed to be urgently resolved.
During his leisure time, he would stroll around the Heart of All Souls.
Or he would go to the Heart of Forest to see various plant-type companion beasts and earn some points, or check the Heart of Phoenix to see how many little crows he had recruited as younger brothers during this period.
Otherwise, he might go to the Heart of Water to soak in the dragon pool, or dive for a while, or simply head to the Wind Island and play with the Great Wind and Littlewind, and the Great Eagle and Little Eagle circling the sky.
Apart from that, he could also go to the Heart of wood, to see how the three young dragons were living under the nourishment of the dragon bamboo.
If he felt like it, he would go to his large library and write down a couple of breeding insights.
Additionally, he would open the Heart of Ice and Heart of Snow.
In the wintertime, there were still many winter activities to enjoy.
Moreover, when Su Ping initially set up, it wasn't to consider the cost, and Jianghai wasn't a northern province, though he said that there were not a few ice-type companion beasts.
However, for many people, the ice and frost companion beasts and some special events were something they had never experienced.
Naturally, the number of visitors was continuous.
Despite this, since the Heart of Soul opened and established its reputation, the Heart of All Souls had never stopped operating externally.
However, this was also normal.
The scale of the Heart of All Souls had, in just two short years, undergone an unimaginable transformation.
This was the thing that had brought him tremendous gains, following his breeding achievements.
However, there were still matters during this period, such as a while ago, Old Qin had wanted him to go to Jianghai Academy to take a class before graduation.
But Su ping temporarily postponed it.
He had nothing to share for the time being.
However, classes still needed to be attended, pushed to the next semester by Su Ping.
Moreover, he had even thought about the main topic of the class, which would be the degeneration potion.
Mentioning the degeneration potion, one could not help but mention Ye Zhou.
This guy had repeatedly urged Su Ping to focus on Xiao Shi, thus he had once again taken up the hard work of the ox and horse.
This guy, for time-type breeding, was truly enthusiastic.
The fleeting time on Xiao shi could not be replaced.
Only this fleeting time could bear the unfinished heart wish of Jiang Xuan Ji passed down by Ye Zhou.
This was the only thing Ye Zhou could not abandon.
Su Ping left Ye Zhou to toss and turn.
Xiao Shi was his most special companion beast.
Many times, he indeed couldn’t find a hand to help.
He was very idle.
But clearly, with the New Year approaching, the entire Heart of All Souls was extremely busy.
Year-end inventory.
Countless data statistics, which didn’t require Su ping’s much attention.
However, there was one set of data that required his concern.
That was, in this year, since the Heart of All Souls promoted the points system, the ranking situation of all companion beasts of the Heart of All Souls regarding points!
Three days before the Spring festival.
The entire Heart of All Souls would close and stop operations.
At that time, Su Ping would start preparing the 'Grand Feast'.
Then, according to the points situation, it would be time for these little guys to exchange their points.
Last year, on New Year's Eve, there weren’t many companion beasts with enough wisdom to participate in the annual meeting.
It was just a few from the Heart of forest, plus his own companion beasts.
But this year, the changes and differences over the entire year were unimaginable!
Last year, he barely had a few Monarch Rank companion beasts, just an old tree and old sand.
But this year, not to mention Monarch Rank, even Holy Spirit rank beasts appeared, naturally, the supreme Evil Spirit Sword wasn't one of his bred.
(Chapter End)
However, compared to last year, it's like night and day.
Even just considering the Imperial Rank Companion Beasts, there's the Wind Core's Great Eagle and Great Wind, the Forest Core's Old Tree, the Jade Branch Tree, the Mindful Bodhi, and more.
As for Monarch Rank Companion Beasts, there's no need to even mention them.
Although the Earth Core has many Monarch Rank Companion Beasts, such as the insect-type Companion Beasts they brought back initially, and the numerous Cloud-Patterned Pythons and Black Water Dark Snakes in the Origin Core, they weren't included in the Heart of All Souls' point system.
But given the current situation, the number is definitely not less than a few dozen.
In this case, tallying the points would be somewhat troublesome without Fei Fei's help.
However, precisely because Fei Fei is here, Su Ping can confidently take on the role of a carefree boss.
He can leave everything to the others.
When the time comes, he only needs to prepare the resources and materials required for some of the smaller items.
The only other thing left is to think about the program for this year's Spring Festival.
Every year during the Spring Festival, there must be a program, and last year, Su Ping had already made up his mind about this.
This way, all the Companion Beasts of the Heart of All Souls can get to know each other, and at the same time, enhance their sense of belonging to the Heart of All Souls.
Of course, he also needs to put in a lot of preparation and effort for this.
However, at times like this, Su Ping is enjoying himself.
Thinking of this, Su Ping looked at the schedule of the Heart of All Souls, which would be closed for the next two days, and began pondering as he lay on the library sofa.
Last year's performance was rather hasty, with talent shows and red envelope lucky draws.
But at that time, the conditions were limited, and it was unavoidable that things were relatively simple.
However, now, Su Ping has truly upgraded from a slingshot to a cannon.
Naturally, for such a significant matter, he can't just muddle through.
After thinking for half a day, aside from continuing with the Companion Beast battle and the grand competition, Su Ping couldn't come up with any other great ideas.
As for the competition, although many of their Companion Beasts are indeed combative,
fighting during the Spring Festival would ruin the atmosphere.
Moreover, a large portion of them aren't keen on it.
So, in this regard, Su Ping is indeed a bit troubled.
However, the competition must be held.
After all, some Companion Beasts, like the Blood Skull-Bone Tree, the Sword Forest, and the Great Wind Divine Wind Sparrow, are only good at fighting.
Aside from being skilled in combat, there isn't much else worth praising.
Oh, wait, the current Blood Skull-Bone Tree, as the top celebrity of the Heart of All Souls, has seemingly developed another specialty.
Eating.
Of course, if this can be considered a specialty.
Su Ping scratched his head, and just then, Li Shu walked in:
"Brother Ping, what are you doing?"
Su Ping didn't hide anything and shared his troubles.
Li Shu raised his eyebrows and slapped his thigh:
"Just this? Brother Ping, you should've asked me directly. Have you forgotten that when we were in school, I was the art committee member!"
Su Ping looked at him blankly.
When did this guy have such a background? He asked half-believing, half-doubting:
"Then, what good ideas do you have?"
Li Shu slightly furrowed his brows and thought for a moment:
"Brother Ping, there are only five days left until Spring Festival, and many things are not easy to prepare. In my opinion, your idea for a competition is not wrong!"
Su Ping looked at him with disdain.
Just this?
Art committee member?
Go pee in the mud.
Seeing Su Ping's disdain, Li Shu quickly coughed lightly and then said:
"Although it's a competition, it's not an ordinary arena battle! Instead, it will be divided into multiple events and multiple ranks!"
"Hmm?"
Seeing his confident demeanor, Su Ping gestured for him to continue.
Li Shu then said:
"The distinction of multiple ranks is obvious, right? You can't have ordinary ranks competing with Imperial Ranks, can you? But for these multiple ranks, my idea is to simply have ordinary battles and design a multi-ranked arena battle.
The main idea is to have multiple events. For example, one event can be about who is the fastest.
Of course, for such events, there's no need to involve ranks. Let the guys at the Heart of All Souls sign up themselves!
Additionally, you can create specific events for particular Companion Beasts.
For instance, events targeting the Forest Wolf, or all wolf-type Companion Beasts, to see whose howl is the loudest, or even a competition to see who can hiss the farthest!
Also, you can award those who have made contributions during this period, which can further motivate these little guys for the coming year.
To be honest, upon hearing this guy's suggestion, Su Ping was indeed impressed and nodded repeatedly.
This guy actually had some decent ideas.
He nodded and then turned to Li Shu:
"Not bad, not bad at all. Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you! There are only two days left, today and tomorrow. After that, the Ten Thousand Souls Heart will go on vacation, and the official work will begin."
So, before tomorrow night, give me the list of participants for this competition. We'll review it together at that time, and if possible, we can finalize it."
"???"
Li Shu was speechless.
Well, this old man has been a hands-off boss for more than a day or two. Moreover, Li Shu was indeed quite interested in this matter, and he confidently patted his chest:
"Brother Ping, leave it to me. I just have one request. Can I watch it when the time comes?"
Su Ping glanced at him:
"Aren't you going home for the New Year? Why are you here causing a ruckus?"
"The New Year is boring. You don't know that last year, after I hugged you and decided to become a breeder, my family,
all my aunts and uncles, this guy has never stopped bothering me."
As for this year? My dad even resigned and moved. Those who I've never heard of, claiming to be relatives, all want to take advantage of my success!
I can't stand this. They can take advantage of my success, but they can't take advantage of yours. So, I'd rather not get involved much.
But this year, during the New Year, I'll inevitably have to deal with them. It's better to come here and have some fun than listen to their gossip at home."
Li Shu waved his hand dismissively.
However, Su Ping neither agreed nor disagreed. He yawned:
"Family relationships are hard to break, but you shouldn't be so ungrateful. When you weren't successful, they might say you're ignorant. Now that you've made it, who knows what they'll say behind your back? Just maintain a good balance, and during the New Year, it's better to visit relatives."
Su Ping decisively refused this guy.
Of course, during the New Year, that was the big day when he would accompany all the companion beasts he had bred for an entire year. What are you doing here causing a ruckus?
"Besides, Zhao Qingqing is taking a flight back to Beiyuan Province tomorrow. You're in Linzhou, and you're still here chatting with me?"
Seeing that Li Shu wanted to continue talking, Su Ping dismissively waved his hand:
"Alright, scram. Go and make that program schedule."
As he sent Li Shu away, Su Ping's thoughts shifted from one problem to another.
Li Shu and the other employees were one thing, but what about the members of the Heavenly Tomb Unit?
What about them during the New Year?
And what about that little girl from the Connar family? She was a 'hostage' left here, and obviously, he couldn't send her back.
So, Su Ping also figured it out.
This year, wanting to spend the New Year alone like last year was probably not possible.
However, to be a good host, Su Ping had long prepared for it.
This wasn't a big deal.
Thinking of this, Su Ping also thought of the few seniors who were unlikely to leave this year.
Zhu Hong, Meng Yao, and Meng Huangliang.
These three would likely spend the New Year at the Ten Thousand Souls Heart.
Besides them, during the New Year, someone from the Dong Clan would probably come over.
After all, he had heard that the Mirror Saint had been doing a good job guarding the Celestial Tomb.
Many secret realms had all stabilized.
However, Su Ping guessed that it was probably because of this reason that this year's New Year would have many people using the excuse of New Year greetings to come and see him.
But it was fine; many times, many things were indeed unavoidable.
Thinking of this, Su Ping couldn't help but sigh.
He just wanted to breed companion beasts and live a quiet life at home.
"It's all the fault of Lord Holy Dragon! Look at the tasks he assigns me!"
Su Ping complained about the complicated matters of the aristocratic families.
However, he forgot that at the Ten Thousand Souls Heart, there was another person:
"Su Ping, although I like you very much, you can't badmouth the master behind his back, meow!"
That treasure cat appeared in front of him without him noticing.
Su Ping was speechless.
Fortunately, this time, this 'White Tiger' didn't just come to slap him:
"Su Ping, I've found the evolution breeding direction for that little cat I gave you!"
Su Ping was stunned and looked at this unpredictable 'White Tiger' suspiciously.
Could this thing even find a breeding direction?
