Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 877 - 375: Press Conference! The Announcement of Paperman Evolution!

[The Tremendous Impact of Su Ping! Within a mere two days, the price of the Undead Pet Beast, the Paperman, has seen a substantial surge across the Dragon Nation, with individual prices escalating by approximately 25%–40%!]

[Potential Mutation Pathways for the Paperman Belonging to the Prodigy Beastmaster and Breeder, Su Ping.]

[Can the Disgrace of the Undead Series Finally Be Erased Today?]

[...]

Su Ping found himself in the dressing room, far from pleased with the effeminate individual applying makeup and grooming his appearance, while a young lady meticulously adjusted his attire.

Given the choice, he would much rather have spent the hour driving the Jiao Long and enjoying himself.

Nevertheless, this press conference extended its reach beyond the Dragon Nation; it was anticipated that a significant portion of the global population on Blue Star would be tuning in.

Maintaining a polished personal image was a necessary consideration.

A few trending posts on his phone repeatedly caught his attention.

Yesterday marked the official conclusion of the provincial exams, and once the top ten contenders from each region, who had advanced to the final tests, were revealed, all burgeoning conversations gravitated towards Su Ping and the Paperman.

This phenomenon even eclipsed the discussions surrounding the top students from various provincial academies.

It was undeniable that he was the center of attention.

After perusing the forum discussions on his phone, he found them to be predominantly speculative and rather uninspired.

Su Ping let out a yawn and returned his phone to his pocket.

"Breeder Su, we'll be finished shortly. Could you bear with us a little longer?"

The moment the yawn escaped his lips, the effeminate makeup artist and hairstylist beside him spoke up, instantly dispelling Su Ping's drowsiness.

Su Ping gave a nod, casting a glance behind him.

The three individuals accompanying him were still present.

Qin Erlong, Ray Saint, and Long'er.

Long'er had maintained a position behind Su Ping throughout the entire process, exhibiting meticulous attention to detail.

Meanwhile, Ray Saint and Qin Erlong continued their relaxed conversation.

Su Ping's interest piqued as he turned to Old Qin:

"Old Qin, what's the agenda for later?"

His scheduled appearance was set for noon, but the preparations for this press conference were evidently far from simple.

Old Qin consulted his watch before responding:

"It's already eleven o'clock; we'll be entering shortly. You'll primarily be interacting with fellow breeders who are preparing to pose questions. There's no need to adhere strictly to the schedule."

Su Ping nodded, an inexplicable tightening in his chest as he drew a deep breath.

Ten minutes later, with the grooming complete, Su Ping exited the dressing room and proceeded to the backstage area of the Beastmaster Association's second-floor conference hall.

The front of the hall served as the venue for the press conference, and at this very moment, in the backstage area nearing the stage, figures were engaged in hushed conversations, occasionally casting glances towards the entrance.

As the door swung open and Su Ping made his entrance, he instantly commanded the attention of nearly everyone present.

Silhouettes rapidly rose to their feet, offering greetings to this remarkably young figure, who appeared to be around the age of their own children or grandchildren.

"Breeder Su!"

"President Su!"

"..."

A variety of titles were bestowed upon him.

Some, in their eagerness, even addressed him as Master Su.

The appellations themselves held little consequence for Su Ping; he responded with nods and smiles, acknowledging the assembled individuals.

Beyond the members of the press, the breeder's press conference primarily consisted of fellow breeders in attendance.

Only this discerning group possessed the expertise to pose pertinent questions regarding pet beast breeding.

Su Ping surveyed the crowd and, as expected, recognized quite a few familiar faces.

A significant number of them hailed from the Jianghai Province Breeders Association.

However, the Jianghai Province Breeders Association had a limited number of breeders specializing in the Undead Series. Among those present from the Jianghai Association, aside from an intermediate breeder focused on Wandering Soul cultivation,

only one other familiar figure remained.

Mu Hang? Su Ping felt a twinge of surprise upon spotting that individual seated in a corner.

Despite being a member of the Jianghai Breeder Association, he seemed to be receiving no acknowledgment from anyone at that moment.

Mu Hang sat in solitary repose in the corner, exuding an air of loneliness.

Su Ping understood the underlying reason.

On their previous encounter, when Mu Yu had arrived, that breeder's father had audaciously employed mechanical weaponry. While the broader public remained largely unaware, certain details had circulated within the Breeder Association.

Mu Hang had faced numerous interrogations, even subjected to special scrutiny, before ultimately being cleared of any involvement, leading to the matter being laid to rest.

Although Su Ping had subsequently reassured Mu Hang and conveyed his conviction that the incident bore no relation to him, the wolf beastmaster found himself increasingly ostracized as Su Ping's own standing grew.

Apart from Sun Chaoju and a handful of wolf pet breeders who had maintained a cordial relationship with him previously, it appeared that no one else was inclined to associate with him.

The recognition that associating with such an individual offered no discernible benefit, and conversely, carried the potential for unwelcome complications, rendered it an imprudent endeavor.

Su Ping had not anticipated Mu Hang's presence at this event.

A smile touched Su Ping's lips as he walked directly towards him.

He held a favorable impression of the individual before him.

He recalled speaking quite amiably with this person within their small circle of wolf pet breeders.

Although circumstances had naturally created distance following the incident, Su Ping held no concern for that matter presently.
