Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 168: Chapter 128: If the Duke Does Not Abandon Me, I Wish to Acknowledge Him as My Foster Father in the Morning Court_2

This was Old Liu’s promise.

Moreover, it was a promise made in front of Qin Erlong.

Su Ping’s eyes lit up, ”Can I also take those experimental equipment?”

Old Liu’s face stiffened, but he promptly waved his hand, ”No problem! When the time comes, take whatever you fancy. If that’s not enough, move an entire laboratory from the Breeder Association!”

The equipment and resources within the Breeder Association are different. The equipment is actually purchased with money and is considered property of the local Breeder Associations, while the resources are distributed by the headquarters.

However, it was rare for Su Ping to make demands, so Old Liu, who had just made a promise, naturally wouldn’t go back on his word so quickly.

A few pieces of experimental lab equipment, even if paid from Old Liu’s private account, were insignificant. As long as he could keep Su Ping tied to Jianghai Province, it was all worth it.

But Liu Fuhai was genuinely curious, ”Speaking of which, you’ve always wanted those high-tech experimental labs. What exactly do you plan to do? Pet Beast breeding doesn’t usually require them that much, right?”

Indeed, not much. Such high-tech lab equipment is generally used for resource analysis, and the primary purpose of resource analysis is to create Magic Potions.

But in reality, although Magic Potions are closely related to Pet Beast breeding, for Senior Breeders who are truly focused on researching Pet Beast Evolution, they aren’t of much practical use.

Su Ping smiled faintly, ”I was curious about the properties of some Magic Potions and wanted to research them more deeply.”

A laboratory might not always be in use by a Breeder, but it is indispensable.

Especially now, Su Ping still couldn’t forget about his intended in-depth research into Wolf Tobacco.

In fact, his desire for it had only intensified over this period.

He remembered that when testing the Heart of Woods Magic Potion made from Wolf Tobacco, a Little Forest Wolf had comprehended the Heart of Woods after consuming just three-fifths of the potion.

However, its Level had consequently dropped by one.

Yet, the concentrated liquid of Wolf Tobacco had no effect on the little white mice used for experiments.

Su Ping was already quite interested in the effects of Wolf Tobacco. This interest intensified after his previous observations of Pet Beast regression in the Forest Wolf and Elf Wolf, making the plant even more valuable for his research.

If the Forest Wolf’s Level could regress instead of advancing, could its bloodline also regress?

Could it allow some Pet Beasts with powerful inherent Races to devolve, reverting to ancient, unevolved forms?

Could this lead to the complete restoration of ancient Pet Beast species, allowing for the cultivation of even more diverse evolutionary branches?

This was why Su Ping had been so determined to secure his own laboratory.

”Youth is wonderful! But, Su Ping, while breeding Pet Beasts, you mustn’t forget to cultivate and evolve your own Pet Beasts, as well as your own training. Your current Realm is satisfactory. However, as you progress, advancing your own Realm is also crucial for breeding Pet Beasts better,” Old Liu remarked.

At that moment, Qin Erlong added a reminder.

Su Ping nodded. He knew that advancing in Realm also improved one’s physical condition and lifespan. Although this improvement wasn’t as significant as the increase in spiritual power, the saying still held true: the body is the capital of revolution.

”Your second Pet Beast is the Paperman, right?” Qin Erlong asked.

”Yes!”

Su Ping nodded again. Beside them, Vice President Liu frowned slightly as he looked at Su Ping. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then refrained.

The Paperman was a type of Pet Beast whose characteristics had been thoroughly established by countless Breeders proficient in the Necromancy Series. However, Su Ping had already contracted it, so what more could he say?

Qin Erlong, however, wasn’t too concerned. He wasn’t a true Breeder and didn’t know much about the difficulty of cultivating a Paperman, so he actually believed Su Ping could achieve what ordinary people couldn’t.

Thus, Qin Erlong said, ”Has Xiao Xue told you about going to the Magic Capital in two months? The Magic Capital Academy has two Meditation Methods. Xiao Xue has likely told you about her Forest of Myriad Forms. Her second Pet Beast is a Wood Element Plant Type, which is why she can cultivate that particular method.

”Since you chose a Necromancy Series Pet Beast, you can try the other one when the time comes: ’Myriad Transformations Meditation Method’.”

”Myriad Transformations Meditation Method?”

This was the first time Su Ping had heard of other so-called Meditation Methods, as he wasn’t very familiar with the concept in the first place.

Qin Erlong nodded, ”Yes, but I don’t know much about it either. You can check it out yourself when you get there. Meditation Methods, although rare and precious, are essentially just icing on the cake. After reaching the Commander Level, each Realm advancement for a Beast Tamer is a significant hurdle, much more difficult than improving a Pet Beast. I’m just mentioning it in passing; you should be mindful of it.”

Su Ping nodded.

”Alright, alright, I’m dying of curiosity! Tell us, kid, how on earth did you discover that Wanmu Wolf? What Skills does it have, and what kind of Evolutionary Body is it?”

Liu Fuhai clearly had little interest in such troublesome things as Meditation Methods or breakthrough bottlenecks for Beast Tamers. At this moment, his entire focus was on the Wanmu Wolf.

”Alright, there’s no need to rush this. Let’s go eat first,” Qin Erlong interjected.

The vehicle stopped, and after a few minutes, Su Ping finally saw the highest-ranking officer of this Legion.

However, this General Zhao appeared extremely kind, always wearing a gentle smile.

A hero emerges in youth.
