Chapter 7: Classmate Group, Little Qing's Initial Advancement!
Chapter 7: Classmate Group, Little Qing's Initial Advancement!
As Su Ping observed the chat group, he frowned slightly.
However, he wasn't too concerned.
After graduating from high school, in the unique Beastmaster society of Azure Star, those advanced Beastmaster academies were not accessible to just anyone.
Either one had to possess an extremely rare and powerful Beastmaster talent, which would lead to a special recruitment upon becoming a Beastmaster and forming a bond with a beast.
Additionally, one had to pass the Beastmaster profession examination.
Only by passing and registering as an official Beastmaster with the Beast Master Association could one have a chance.
Therefore, for the vast majority, graduating from this stage was akin to entering society.
The director, Zhang Guowei, was the head teacher of Su Ping's school, Linzhou City Sixth High School.
Teachers from such schools usually had some connections in society.
For students with decent talents who had the potential to become combat Beastmasters, the director would act as an intermediary, finding them a good path.
He would also earn a substantial reward for his services.
Take Zhou Shuchen, for example.
With his Fire Affinity talent, a highly desirable combat talent, Zhang Guowei managed to secure a rare Overlord Potential Race Crimson Fang Tiger Companion Beast from Flame King Corporation.
In addition to a substantial down payment and future loans, Zhou Shuchen also had to work for the corporation.
In fact, after graduation, Director Zhang had approached Su Ping as well.
But Su Ping declined.
Su Ping's talent seemed rather ordinary.
What good would it do to have the ability to bond with more Companion Beasts?
It's well known that wild Companion Beasts are difficult to communicate with and rarely understand their owners' intentions!
Moreover, the environment in the Beast Mastery Space often triggers riots among wild Companion Beasts.
Even if you manage to bond with dozens of wild Companion Beasts, what good would it do? You might get devoured by them once they're released.
Hence, this talent is often used for logistical purposes.
But precisely because of its logistical application, this talent finds its true value. It's indispensable for transportation and storage in many situations.
After all, transporting Companion Beasts is extremely dangerous, especially when dealing with wild ones.
Although Su Ping's family was far from wealthy, they managed to make a living from the breeding base's rent. In this abstract Beastmaster society, they were getting by.
However, Su Anyong would never agree to sell himself for a rare Overlord Potential Race Companion Beast.
Little Qing's rare Bloodline Mutation, a Poison Attribute Mutated Timber Wolf, is proof of that.
Bloodline Mutations are even more valuable than Species Potential, which can be improved through evolution and advanced resources. While Species Attributes can also be acquired through consuming resources or potions, the risks are immense.
The slightest mistake could result in the Companion Beast becoming disabled or even dying.
Most importantly, when a Companion Beast exhibits a rare attribute through Bloodline Mutation, its Species Talent ceiling is also significantly higher.
It's not hard to guess that Zhou Shuchen's peculiar behavior towards Su Ping is likely due to Director Zhang and the young Zhou Shuchen, who considers Zhang Guowei as a mentor and father figure, complaining about Su Ping's rejection and ingratitude.
Evidently, this guy is probably joining forces with them.
He's still young, after all.
Su Ping shook his head, not getting angry but feeling a bit sorry for Zhou Shuchen.
"It's understandable that he wouldn't refuse such an opportunity to obtain a high-level Overlord Potential Race Companion Beast like the Scythe Giant Centipede.
But I doubt Su Ping's family lacks an Overlord Potential Race Companion Beast."
"It's understandable not to want to owe Zhang Guowei a favor."
"What could Director Zhang possibly want from you?"
"That's true..."
"@Su Ping, Ping Ge, have you contracted a companion beast yet?"
Messages in the group chat flashed by at an incredibly fast pace, and soon, a direct mention came in.
Su Ping thought for a moment and decided not to stay silent any longer:
"Yes, I've contracted one. It's a Timber Wolf from our family's breeding base."
Before Li Shu, who had proactively asked and had a good relationship with Su Ping, could respond, the Tiger Head icon that Su Ping had initially disliked flashed again:
"A Timber Wolf? But its species potential ceiling is only at the Elite rank! Su Ping, are you planning to take over your family business? Haha, congratulations!"
Three exclamation marks in a row expressed this person's rebuttal and ridicule towards the one who had spoken in the group earlier.
Look, even with such a vast family background, Su Ping had only contracted a Timber Wolf.
Admittedly, for ordinary students like them, a Timber Wolf with a species potential that has reached the Elite peak is already a good choice.
However, in front of this Crimson Fang Tiger's beastmaster, he undoubtedly paled in comparison.
During their school years, due to family and ability reasons, this former class president sometimes wasn't as capable as Su Ping.
Even when he first started having romantic interests, a girl he pursued rejected him because of this.
But Su Ping genuinely had no interest in engaging with someone who was full of themselves and talked nonsense in the group chat? He wasn't the type to argue and banter online.

Suddenly, a previously unseen icon and name sent a message:
"@Su Ping, isn't there a Cloud Heaven Pet Combat Resort next to your place?"
"Yin Yinn, the school beauty!!!"
"@Yin Yinn, have you contracted a companion beast yet?"
"..."
As soon as this icon, named after a fish, appeared in the group, a series of replies followed.
Yin Yinn, the so-called school beauty of Linzhou City Sixth High School,
Su Ping always thought that this title was quite silly and pointless for a young girl who wasn't even that outstanding.
Moreover, beauty is a subjective matter. The title of school beauty is just a label.
However, Yin Yinn was indeed quite famous.
"Yin Yinn, yes, it's right next to my place."
"@Su Ping, I'll be going there to train my companion beast in a few days. It'll be a perfect opportunity to visit your place since I haven't seen a pet breeding base before. Is that okay?"
Su Ping slightly frowned, but before he could respond,
The group chat had already started.
"Yin Yinn, you're going to train for companion beast combat. Can we join you?"
"Yes, our Little Red just advanced to Basic Tier 2 and learned a species skill! We're eager to try it out, hehe!"
"Sure, let's all go together."
"It's been over a month since graduation, and we haven't had a proper reunion yet..."
"..."
The call of hormones at this age stage is indeed infinite.
And clearly, at this moment, Su Ping's opinion didn't seem to matter much.
After all, they were going to the Cloud Heaven Resort next door, and his family's breeding base was just a convenient stop along the way.
Su Ping shook his head and didn't bother to look further into the group chat. Instead, he exited the classmate group and checked on the sleeping Xiao Qing.
He could feel that under his beastmaster's nurturing, Xiao Qing's aura was condensing, and she was about to advance from Basic Tier 1 to Basic Tier 2.
Su Ping revealed a satisfied smile and slowly closed his eyes.
As his excitement calmed, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Su Ping abruptly opened his eyes, quickly finished breakfast, and took care of his morning routine. He took a glance at the Omniscient Beast Atlas.
As expected, under the Timber Wolf entry in the atlas, a new record appeared:
[After spending a day with two Timber Wolves, your Timber Wolf Bestiary experience +7 points.]
But this wasn't the most important thing.
The most crucial development was that the cooled-down Wood Core Potion had finally been completed overnight.
