Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Zhang Lie’s Madness, The Incredible Breeder!
Arriving at the reception room, Su Ping asked directly, "Commander Zhang, what kind of cooperation do you have in mind?"
Truth be told, Su Ping had a certain fondness for the Beast Tamer Legions. The stability of the cities where Beast Tamers resided was largely due to these individuals guarding the outskirts, driving away the Ferocious Beasts that approached human society. Although different from his previous life, if a problem arose, the High-Level Beastmasters among the civilians would also take action, but it was always these Guardians who faced the brunt of it first. Moreover, the most crucial point was that his own father had reportedly once served in the Beast Tamer Legion for a period before being sacrificed in a Beast Tide. He subsequently returned home to take over the family business. His father might be unreliable, but from a young age, he had taught Su Ping to hold the proper respect for these Guardians.
Zhang Lie said eagerly, "Here’s the situation: the Legion has decided to initiate elite training for a portion of our elite soldiers. I’ve left the Legion this time to find such Breeders, and if suitable, engage in a long-term partnership with them!"
Su Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly, his spirits lifted. A long-term partnership? This was a big business deal!
"Originally, it was supposed to be me, a vice-commander, and an instructor, each searching independently and then comparing our findings. However, it seems that won’t be necessary anymore!"
Indeed, it wasn’t necessary anymore, not with a brand-new special Cultivation Evolution and, moreover, training for the Heart of Woods Skill. How could other unreliable Breeders compare to this?
Therefore, a thousand words congealed into that one question Zhang Lie had previously asked, "Breeder Su, I absolutely trust your training for the Heart of Woods, and your price is worthy of your ability. But about that Wanmu Wolf just now, I wonder..."
Glancing at Zhang Lie, Su Ping stated frankly, "Firstly, Old Sha’s Evolution isn’t entirely complete, though there should be no subsequent issues. I also can’t guarantee that a future attempt would be successful.
Secondly, Old Sha’s Evolution consumed significant resources. If calculated, the cost of this Evolution isn’t low. Of course, this might be a special case; generally, it wouldn’t require spending so much.
Thirdly, the Evolution’s duration is roughly ten to fifteen days. His Racial Potential should be around the Monarch Level!
Finally, although the Evolution is currently successful, as a newly developed type of Evolutionary Body, it still needs observation for a period to ensure stability."
Su Ping answered each point in turn.
Zhang Lie’s heart pounded with even more excitement! A Forest Wolf Evolver with the Racial Potential to reach Monarch Level?!
He hastened to nod his head. "MHM, MHM, MHM, I understand, I understand! Breeder Su, you are indeed meticulous. But that’s right; this is the hallmark of a Breeding Master. Rest assured, I believe in your abilities. How about we confirm our intent to cooperate now?"
It was clear that Old Sha’s earlier appearance had given Commander Zhang a significant shock! All his attention was focused on that Wanmu Wolf!
Su Ping said, somewhat helplessly, "I would, of course, be honored to cooperate with the Legion, but regarding the price..."
Even though his father taught him to respect the Beast Tamer Legion, he couldn’t just do charity work, right? Not to mention other things, even if those Sunlight Absorption Skills reached the Mastery Level, they wouldn’t require precious Sun Crystals, but they would still need Nature’s Lungs. Nature’s Lungs aren’t expensive, but they still cost over eight million. Of course, if the level of Sunlight Absorption being cultivated is only at the Proficient Level, that’s no problem; the cost would likely only be a few million. However, when it comes to price, it clearly needs to be discussed and clarified in advance.
Zhang Lie’s fiery enthusiasm suddenly cooled. He fell into thought for a moment, then said, "Breeder Su, the Legion’s funds are limited. We can’t handle Cultivation like those in the outside world by giving you a direct sum of money! Do you think we could use Battle Merit Points for the exchange instead?"
Battle Merit Points? Su Ping raised an eyebrow. That’s not hard to understand. It’s like the credits within the Breeder Association, right? Only exchangeable for items within their internal system? Truth be told, for many people, these points are even more precious than actual money. There are many things in the outside world that money can’t buy. And within organizations directly under the Dragon Nation, if nothing else, specific resources are absolutely guaranteed to be in sufficient supply. Thinking about it this way, there’s no problem. If I need money later, it wouldn’t be impossible to exchange them for cash.
With that thought, Su Ping nodded his head.
Zhang Lie also stood up abruptly. "As for the specific cost in Battle Merit Points for each Cultivation, I’m not in a position to decide the exact figures. I need to return and consult my superiors!"
If it were only about cultivating Skills, as the commander of the Forest Wolf Troop, he could definitely make the decision. After all, each troop has an allocation of Battle Merit Points each month, even though they were wiped out in this exercise, causing many of their points to go to others. However, some Cultivation costs can still be reimbursed by the troop itself. But if it involved cultivating an Evolutionary Body, then it was clearly not something he, as the troop commander, had the authority to decide.
Seeing their father’s excitement and eagerness, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu felt an indescribable emotion, even though they already knew Su Ping was remarkable. This young Breeder, Su Ping, was very impressive, but they had never imagined *this* impressive. They idolized their father, the commander of the military Beast Tamer troop who protected the nation. Yet, their father was treating this young man, someone their own age, with such deference. To them, it even seemed like he had completely lost his composure!
This was the first time they had seen their father like this. Where had the composed, serious man gone—the father who was strict with his subordinate Beast Tamers and their Pet Beasts, the one called Cold-faced Yama by the rest of the troop? With this current anxious demeanor, he probably wasn’t even this frantic when he married their mother, right? Was that Wanmu Wolf really so powerful?
At this moment, the two brothers couldn’t help but think of that Forest Wolf Evolver, the one that seemed to have a Kylin’s horn. Their hearts pounded!
However, the Evolutionary Body was one thing, but had their father forgotten something else? Their visit this time wasn’t to discuss this, was it? It was to find a way to cultivate the Heart of Woods for their Forest Wolf Pet Beasts!
Clearly, the Zhang Family Brothers’ silent complaints were not unfounded.
Because Commander Zhang Lie, head of the Forest Wolf Troop, had even forgotten his two sons were still sitting there. After a hurried exchange with Su Ping, he dashed out the door.
As he ran, he pulled out his phone and made a call, "Hello, Sir! I’ve found an incredible Breeder!"
