Leaving the Breeder Association, Su Ping regretted declining Old Liu’s polite offer to have his assistant send him home.

Class had ended at four. After grabbing a bite to eat and indulging in a few drinks with Old Liu, it was already late into the night by the time Su Ping left. The subway and buses had all stopped running.

However, Su Ping had enjoyed himself with Old Liu; after all, he had indeed gained a huge advantage from him. Although he was entitled to it according to the Breeder Association’s reward system, it wouldn’t have been so smooth and easy without Old Liu.

After carefully observing the Sun Crystal he had placed in the Beast Taming Space, Su Ping hailed a cab and headed home.

No sooner had he gotten into the car than his phone began to ring.

"Su Ping, are you done with Old Liu? Want to join us for another round?"

The caller was none other than Sun Chaoju.

True to form, as soon as Sun Chaoju finished speaking, a chorus of voices came through the phone.

"Su Ping, come on over! The bros will show you a good time! Let’s find some fun. And while we’re at it, let’s get a bit wild!"

A few dark lines appeared on Su Ping’s forehead. He recognized the voice as Breeder Mu Hang’s, though at this moment, it sounded somewhat slurred against the backdrop of the music.

Su Ping shook his head. "No thanks, Sun Pei. You know Old Liu’s capacity for alcohol. I honestly can’t drink anymore. Some other day, I’ll treat you and the other senior Breeders."

"It’s a shame. We’ve got some young ladies here who’ve heard all about your reputation, Su Ping, and want to meet you."

Sun Chaoju’s voice was much clearer than Mu Hang’s; he was obviously not as intoxicated.

"Maybe in a few days. I actually have something I need your help with. I’d like you to introduce me to a powerful Paperman specialist, an Intermediate Undead Breeder in Linzhou City."

"Sure, just give me a call whenever you’re free!"

The call ended. Only then did the piercing music and the loud yelling of those guys into the receiver finally stop.

With that thought, just as Su Ping was about to close his eyes, he paused slightly. There was an unread message on his phone. It was a notification sent in the afternoon. He had been in class at the time and had his phone on silent, so naturally, he hadn’t seen it. He opened it now:

[Your package has been delivered. As there was no response at your home, we have placed the package in the mailbox at your door. Please retrieve it as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can call courier number: 5151154, phone: 152...]

Su Ping raised his eyebrows, a smile forming on his face. He then turned off his phone and closed his eyes.

The taxi fell silent. The taxi driver up front glanced strangely at the young man in the backseat through the rearview mirror.

The taxi driver shook his head. At that thought, the driver glanced at the young man behind him, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Before long, the taxi arrived at the Lingxi River stop in the suburbs of Linzhou City. Su Ping paid the fare and got out of the car, his eyes clear again. Meditation helped him focus his attention and spirit. In fact, he hadn’t drunk much at all; he had spent most of the time discussing Pet Beast cultivation with Old Liu.

Watching the taxi drive away, Su Ping suddenly thought of Qin Xiaoxue’s supercar. It was enhanced with a hovering effect, allowing it to fly at a certain speed—truly a top-tier vehicle.

Unfortunately, summoning large Pet Beasts wasn’t allowed on the streets of Linzhou City. Otherwise, Su Ping could have just ridden Old Sha, which would have been better than anything.

Shaking his head, Su Ping dismissed these distracting thoughts.

The late-night breeze revitalized Su Ping’s spirits considerably. He quickly ran to the somewhat retro-looking mailbox. Sure enough, inside was a small, sealed box. The return address was from the Magic Capital. Taking out the box, he noted it had some weight to it.

Su Ping didn’t act rashly. He hurried back into his house with the box and solemnly placed it on the table. Then, taking a deep breath, he finally opened it. Inside, he found another, smaller box. Upon opening that one, he found yet an even smaller box.

Su Ping was speechless.

Shaking his head, Su Ping continued to open the boxes. Finally, in the last box, which was only about the size of a fist, he saw something different. It was a small, pebble-like object, and strangely, a three-leaf clover was growing on top of it.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. Fortunately, there was an explanatory card beside it. He picked it up and read it, his pupils suddenly contracting.
