Chapter 659: Top-Level Strategy! Military and Finance!
Chapter 659: Top-Level Strategy! Military and Finance!
Su Ping was absolutely skeptical.
He couldn't believe that in such a short time, the Eagle Nation could create a mythical-level mechanical beast.
However, while he might not believe in the Eagle Nation, he firmly trusted his own cheat ability, his external cheat.
The Wanling Catalogue!
The Wanling Catalogue could even absorb the inheritance consciousness and soul origin of the God of the Underworld, transforming it into a terrifying ability, granting him a power akin to creating life.
With such a means, how could the Wanling Catalogue not accomplish this?
In Su Ping's opinion, Zhu Que's Nanming Lihuo was one of the pieces of evidence.
After all, Nanming Lihuo was something that only a mythical-level domain could truly touch.
Now, although Little Fire couldn't claim to have completely mastered it, he had already accomplished more than half.
He was just one step away from completing the second stage.
Once he entered the third stage, it would be an entirely new world.
At that time, Little Fire's combat power would likely undergo another unimaginable qualitative change.
Therefore, after seeing this blueprint, Su Ping firmly believed in the prompt from the Wanling Catalogue.
But it was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but frown.
Compared to ordinary pet breeding, which required extensive analysis and annotations, the blueprint for this mechanical pet in front of him was not only complex but also tedious; Su Ping couldn't find any other adjectives to describe it.
This was also the main reason why Su Ping had never truly delved into mechanical pet breeding.
This wasn't just a matter of being a genius.
Even for a genius, one still needed to study math, physics, and chemistry well and apply basic formulas.
Therefore, many things required a time-consuming and laborious breeding process.
In just two short years, Su Ping had grown to this level, and while his mentality had matured, in his many years as a breeder, he hadn't neglected his studies, but they were vast and chaotic.
Moreover, he learned many things at a slower pace than the breeding process.
After all, as the saying goes, if you have a cheat and don't use it, you're not thinking straight.
He was obviously not that kind of person.
However, this time, the Wanling Catalogue clearly required him to perceive and absorb all this information, even with his cheat ability, before he could proceed.
Fortunately, he wasn't pressed for time.
Additionally, since the Eagle Nation hadn't been able to create this for so many years, it was impossible for them to suddenly produce it without any noise. He naturally wasn't in a hurry.
If the Eagle Nation hadn't been able to create it for so many years, and he brought it back and completed it in a few moves, it would likely arouse some suspicion.
Although Su Ping wasn't afraid, he currently had other things to do.
So, Su Ping turned to Meng Yan:
"Senior Meng, this information is crucial. I'll definitely inform Saint Dragon about it. Also, you don't need to rush the Dream Surfing for me during this time. Instead, please draw out all the contents of these blueprints first! That's the most significant contribution!
Rest assured, I'll personally ask Saint Dragon to reward you for this!"
Meng Yan waved his hand:
"I don't care about the credit. Moreover, at this level, I'm not concerned about material things. But I am genuinely interested in your research.
So, I'll be frank with you. Although I have some understanding of mechanical-type pets, I'm essentially just copying others.
I don't truly understand the internal principles. Therefore, you mustn't let Saint Dragon transfer me to the Mechanical Association because of this!
I feel like vomiting whenever I see these mechanical creations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ping clearly felt his waist, where Feifei had transformed into a phone, vibrating rapidly. It was obvious that the little guy was protesting!
In the entire world, in the entire international community, the most significant requirement for beastmasters was not to have category discrimination.
How could this newly emerged Holy Spirit-level existence in the Dragon Nation openly defy this?
What's wrong with mechanical pets?
Without mechanical pets, could the number of beastmasters on the Blue Star be as high as it is today, and life be as convenient as it is?
Ignoring Feifei's petty complaints, Su Ping smiled and said:
"Rest assured, a talent like you, if placed in the Mechanical Association, would be a waste. Even if Saint Dragon agrees, I will never consent!
If anyone dares to ask for you, or if they come to you, just mention my name! Anyone who disagrees can come find me!"
"Hahaha, that's bold! I knew that the person Saint Dragon has his eyes on wouldn't be an ordinary young man..."
As soon as they finished speaking, a burst of laughter entered from outside the door:
"Let me see who's being so arrogant?"
Hey, kid, you took down Wang Daolin, and now you don't even know your own surname, right? Not to mention Wang Daolin's innate talent, but his beast companion is also weak.
Don't assume that all Holy Spirit-level Beastmasters are like that. Others aside, even your grandpa, he's not a thrifty old man!
At this moment, someone walked in, and even more so, to be able to speak such words to the Ghost Saint, who is revered as such, could only be the Legend of the Divine Dragon.
Su Ping was speechless.
Previously, this idol would appear and disappear mysteriously, and it was no exaggeration to describe him as a divine dragon, always elusive.
Not to mention a young man like him, but any Holy Spirit-level existence would want to meet this person, and they'd have to make an appointment in advance, and only when this person had the time.
But now, they've met again in just a few days.
And each time, they appeared right here.
The Legend of the Divine Dragon seemed to notice Su Ping's strange gaze, and he glanced at Su Ping:
"Hey, kid, don't look at me like that. I have plenty of things to do, but I can't stop you from causing trouble every day. I never thought that the cunning eagle's tricks would all be seen through by you!"
Meng Yao had reported the news, and Meng Yan hurried over. "How do you feel now?"
Compared to Su Ping, who had already gotten used to it, Meng Yan, at this moment, regained his composure and appeared extremely serious. He stood up straight and said:
"Reporting to the Chief, I'm feeling much better now, and there are no problems!"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon didn't say much more. He wasn't good at expressing his emotions through words, so he just patted Meng Yan on the shoulder and smiled:
"You can decide when to enter Dragon City to choose your dragon companion. Don't refuse; this is what you deserve, and it's far from enough to repay you for your contributions to the Dragon Nation!"
Su Ping didn't deny it because it was indeed the case.
The contributions made by Meng Yan to the Dragon Nation were witnessed by all. Otherwise, the Eagle Nation wouldn't have gnashed their teeth, even leaving behind some tricks by the cunning eagle at the end.
It was easy to imagine.
Meng Yan quickly said:
"Chief, I have no other requests. I just spoke with Breeder Su, and I want to stay here from now on..."
Usually, Holy Spirit-level Beastmasters, except for some special circumstances, were directly assigned by the Legend of the Divine Dragon to various places or positions.
Meng Yan was already aware of this.
But this time, the Legend of the Divine Dragon didn't refuse. He nodded:
"Don't worry, this kid has promised me, so I have nothing more to say. But, in my opinion, if you want to relax and enjoy your retirement here, it might not be as good as the positions I assign you."
"Huh?"
Meng Yan was a little confused by his words.
The Legend of the Divine Dragon chuckled:
"Here, with this kid, you'll probably have to follow his lead and spend all your time nurturing beast companions, especially since you're such a rare talent!"
Su Ping quickly stood up:
"Saint Dragon, he's my talent. Please don't take him away from me!"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon didn't bother to pay attention. He looked at the drawings on the table:
"What's this?"
Meng Yan told the Legend of the Divine Dragon everything that Su Ping had just said.
As expected, after hearing the words about the Mechanical Myth, even this person narrowed his eyes. He turned to Meng Yan:
"Little Meng, go and rest. Meanwhile, draw the rest of the drawings, and I'll have a chat with Su Ping."
Meng Yan nodded. He wasn't the one handling this aspect, so he naturally understood that some matters weren't suitable for his direct involvement.
Su Ping also realized that the Legend of the Divine Dragon's visit wasn't just related to Meng Yan; there must be other reasons.
Indeed, it was the case.
The Legend of the Divine Dragon spoke directly:
"Edmond has already told me everything! This guy dares to come to Dragon City!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Didn't you keep him here?"
Dragon City was the territory of the Dragon Nation, an area under the absolute control of the Legend of the Divine Dragon. Moreover, not to mention anything else, there was also an old man named Zhu Lao in Dragon City.
He was also a legendary existence.
If possible, given the unique environment of Dragon City, it might be feasible for this person to stay.
However, the Legend of the Divine Dragon shook his head.
"It's not that simple, Su Ping. You don't understand the Chuan Shuo Level. Once you reach this level, you can freely roam the stars at will. If it weren't for the unique rule restrictions on Lanxing, you would understand the power of the Chuan Shuo Level."
"Moreover, the other party wouldn't come directly without any preparation."
Su Ping nodded, thinking that perhaps only a true Shenhua Level could possess such life-and-death power over the Chuan Shuo Level.
He didn't dwell on this but instead turned to the other party, "Since that's the case, what did the Golden Patriarch say?"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon thought for a moment and replied, "What else could he say? He talked about his concept of financial formation, the benefits to the market and society, and the future development of the Dragon Nation."
Su Ping narrowed his eyes, sensing that the Legend of the Divine Dragon was hesitating.
"Do you want to agree to the conditions of the Golden Heart?"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon shook his head, "His idea is impossible. I also can't allow something with unknown origins to enter the Dragon Nation's market. But, Su Ping, if the Dragon Nation establishes a similar facility..."
"Not the spiritual energy feedback system, but purely using the financial market to allocate resources and determine prices. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping also fell into deep thought. In fact, he didn't know much about these matters.
However, the Legend of the Divine Dragon's concept, the Dragon's concept, was actually hindered by one of the biggest obstacles—the price level.
In recent times, the value of resources has been greatly suppressed, and economic circulation has allowed ordinary people to save up and have the opportunity to become Beastmasters. Furthermore, there might even be a chance to go further.
But even so, Su Ping knew that the man before him was still not satisfied.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, "Saint Dragon, I think you should consult the Think Tank about this matter. I can't provide an answer myself. However, I will support any decision you make."
The Legend of the Divine Dragon spoke directly, "Their opinions align with mine. If we exclude the spiritual energy feedback facilities and purely use the financial market rules to determine a part of the Dragon Nation's industry, it will make resource allocation and price control smoother.
In the future, the road will also be faster. At the same time, this part will also be firmly controlled by the official side and not fall under the control of the Golden Heart."
Lanxing was different from Earth, and finance in this Beastmaster society represented more than just the circulation of money.
However, without the gameplay of the Golden Heart, it seemed that only retaining control over prices was possible.
But Su Ping didn't speak further.
He knew that this top-level strategy shift might involve the development of hundreds of millions of people.
The Legend of the Divine Dragon exhaled and then continued, "After I return, I'll discuss this thoroughly with those people. I always feel that old man Edmond has some other conspiracy and ideas!
Regarding Meng Yan's matter, you've made a great contribution. I heard from Zhu Hong that you've been researching spiritual skills these past few days, the one called Dream Surfing, right?"
Su Ping nodded and didn't hide anything. Instead, he revealed the secret of Dream Surfing to the man before him.
The Legend of the Divine Dragon didn't show any disappointment, "So, you want to truly research this skill? You need Meng Yan as an assistant?"
"Exactly!"
"Are you confident?"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon looked at Su Ping.
Su Ping smiled, "I don't know about other matters, but when it comes to breeding, I have some grasp of it!"
"That's good, that's good. Regarding finance, it's a part of the social rules and system. But in the end, everything requires a strong military force to rely on.
As long as we have absolute military strength, we can stand on invincible ground!"
After a sigh, he paused again and continued, "Speaking of which, based on your strength improvement and progress, I have a new idea!"
"What?"
Su Ping looked at him.
A smile appeared on the Legend of the Divine Dragon's lips, "In a few months, it will be the Lifetime Achievement Award for Cultivators. Outstanding breeders and breeding masters from various countries on Lanxing will attend.
Su Ping, at that time, directly announce the news of Soulbond Creatures!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's eyes lit up, "Has there been a breakthrough in the mass production of Soulbond Creatures?"
