Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 736 - 323: Fishing Competition? Ray Saint’s Provocation!_3
Intermediate Level?
Su Ping indeed believed in his and Guan Lili’s abilities. He nodded.
"Okay, you two go ahead, but let me make this clear: if you disgrace the Heart of Myriad Spirits, don’t bother coming back."
Li Shu patted his chest confidently.
"By the way, how’s Zhao Qingqing’s Forest Wolf doing?"
"It has decent Talent. Mainly because Lili has been working on it. These past few days, Lili and Zhao Qingqing have been together all the time. Bro Ping, I heard..."
Su Ping nodded.
"Zhao Qingqing’s father did me a favor. If Zhao Qingqing is willing, then it’s fine. However, the primary focus is on the future cultivation of Cloud-Patterned Tree Pythons and other snake-type Pet Beasts; you don’t need to manage that part."
"Alrighty! Then I’ll go find Lili and head to Linzhou City Center."
"Hmm!"
After Li Shu left, Shangguan Ye continued with a smile, "Cloud-Patterned Tree Python, snake-type Pet Beast cultivation, Su Ping, you really have diverse interests!"
"You flatter me, Senior Shangguan," Su Ping replied. "I made some small progress before and thought I’d see if I could get started in this field."
Speaking of snake-type Pet Beasts, Su Ping remembered the Red Devil he had reserved for his old man.
This Psychic Element mutated Devil Snake had been staying in his Beast Taming Space since hatching, too young for much cultivation. And, as a Spirit Saint Level potential cub, its cultivation wasn’t about raising an upper limit, but at most about acquiring some Skills. However, the little guy had been sleeping a lot since hatching, up to twenty hours a day, so there was no rush to let it out for rearing.
On the other hand, Su Ping really needed to find some time to focus on Zhao Qingqing’s case. This included establishing a relationship with her Forest Wolf to reach the required intimacy. This way, it could be used together with other Forest Wolves to upgrade Heart of Woods and other Skills to Proficient, and preferably even to Perfection. After all, this was the first Heart of the Sun version of a Wanmu Wolf that Su Ping had taken on, and he could not afford to be negligent.
"By the way, Su Ping, how did you come up with the idea of integrating that resource with the Spirit Land?" Shangguan Ye asked.
Su Ping chuckled. "Heh, that wasn’t difficult..."
As the two chatted casually, they boarded the sightseeing car and arrived at the Heart of Water, which had just reopened for business the day before.
In the past few days, the flood had gradually subsided. Although there was still plenty of water left in West Dragon Lake, an intermittent stream of Beast Tamers had already started returning. And business at the Heart of Water had not only been unaffected but had actually boomed due to the reduced prices and the public’s aversion to aquatic Pet Beasts.
Even at first glance, Su Ping saw, not far away, a child barely in his teens holding a fishing rod. His eyeballs were glued to the calm water surface while he muttered to himself, questioning the meaning of it all:
"What’s so fun about fishing? What are these people thinking? Someone even said this could be more interesting than virtual games? That’s unscientific!"
Su Ping glanced over.
With that thought, Su Ping’s brow furrowed slightly.
Thinking this, Su Ping first spoke to Shangguan Ye, then looked at the little kid’s back before approaching one of the patrolling security guards and said,
"Xiao Fang, who allowed such a young visitor into the Heart of Water? If something happens, who’s responsible?"
Xiao Fang was an Elite Peak Beast Tamer, by no means weak. Most importantly, he was extremely skilled with firearm-type Mechanical Weapons and was a sharpshooter. When needed, he could swiftly take down any aquatic Ferocious Beasts that came ashore.
Being questioned by Su Ping like this, Xiao Fang scratched his head, then replied,
"It seems this kid is Manager Lu’s child; Manager Lu has been taking very good care of him recently. The kid said Manager Lu allowed him to come here."
"Lu Heng?"
Su Ping’s brow furrowed slightly.
"No matter what, he can’t be allowed here. It’s too dangerous! Lu Heng is a retired Legion Beast Tamer; how can he not understand this simple principle? Besides, what kind of fish can a little brat like him catch here?"
Su Ping looked at the kid’s empty fish bucket and was somewhat speechless.
However, they were dozens of meters away from the child. Although they hadn’t deliberately lowered their voices, their voices weren’t particularly loud. Amidst the constant lapping of water, a normal child naturally wouldn’t have heard them speaking.
But unfortunately, this child was not an ordinary person.
Upon hearing Su Ping’s clearly contemptuous remarks, the child, who had a fair complexion and bright, neat teeth, suddenly turned his head, his big eyes fixed firmly on Su Ping.
Su Ping was genuinely startled by the child’s glare. He then hardened his expression.
