Su Ping arrived at his press conference and was greeted by both admiration and suspicion. Despite a bodyguard's warning about Mu Hang's strange behavior, Su Ping proceeded to the stage. He announced his intention to reveal the secret to evolving the 'Paperman,' a seemingly weak undead pet.
"You beastmasters who are watching this live stream can emulate this method to achieve the evolution of your paperman pet beasts in the future!" Su Ping's voice resonated clearly. Even in the desolate, tomb-like laboratory situated across the vast ocean, the youthful tones of his voice caused the figure observing the broadcast to tremble intensely. A mixture of jealousy, hatred, unwillingness, and a peculiar sense of pleasure flickered within the eyes of Mu Yu, who, at this moment, bore little resemblance to a human. That young individual on the screen was the very image of his own past aspirations. Yet, here was the very youth he had once failed to eliminate, now sharing groundbreaking achievements with the world at such a tender age—a feat that had eluded him for decades! "That lunatic... What an idiot, freely disseminating such revolutionary findings to everyone?" Mu Yu muttered with profound resentment. "Idiots like him shouldn't be allowed to live!" His gaze drifted to his teacher, lying nearby, knowing his mentor could perceive the situation even more acutely. This thought compelled Mu Yu to fix his attention back on the screen, desperate to witness how this seemingly impossible breeding breakthrough was accomplished! ...Announcing the free evolution method for papermen! These words rendered nearly everyone, initially caught off guard, momentarily speechless. Following a brief period of utter confusion, only two words remained etched in their minds: 'What the heck...' Indeed, this was the predominant sentiment echoing in the minds of everyone tuning into the broadcast within Dragon Nation at that precise moment. Could any two words more succinctly capture their collective bewilderment? Many found it hard to trust their own ears. Even the breeders present were not exempt from this disbelief. While Dragon Nation had consistently promoted the sharing of breeding advancements and implemented various encouraging initiatives, instances like this were exceedingly rare. Every breeding breakthrough represented a breeder's arduous efforts; who would willingly share such invaluable results with others for free? It was an exceptionally tall order, and though the higher authorities in Dragon Nation diligently worked towards this goal, no overt force or exploitation was ever present. And yet, here was Su Ping, proclaiming he would share the secrets to evolving papermen! Papermen, the most rudimentary of common, low-level pet beasts—creatures even families receiving welfare could afford. The evolutionary path now unveiled for such a pet beast held immense wealth-generating potential. And Su Ping intended to share it. Freely, with everyone? The assembled figures exchanged glances, their expressions a tableau of near-disbelief. Soon, questions regarding the 'why' and expressed doubts arose. President Lin, the renowned Advanced Necromancer Breeder from Xihai Province, whom Su Ping had previously encountered, raised his hand and stood under Su Ping's watchful gaze. "Su Ping," he inquired, "are the requirements and difficulty for the paperman's evolution particularly high?" This question reflected their shared assumption: the evolution must be exceedingly difficult, necessitating resources so rare and precious that ordinary individuals couldn't possibly obtain them, hence Su Ping's willingness to share. However, in response to President Lin's query, Su Ping simply offered a smile and a shake of his head. "No," he replied, "in fact, it could be considered quite simple, and the resources required are minimal, very minimal." Su Ping's words caused President Lin to hold his breath. He sat back down without further comment, but his eyes remained fixed on Su Ping, alight with an intense fervor. At this juncture, silence descended upon the venue once more. All eyes were fixed on Su Ping with palpable anticipation. He did not disappoint. Having already prepared several papermen, he summoned them forth from his Beast Taming Space. "Aba aba..." These were merely three exceedingly ordinary papermen. Among the onlookers were beastmasters possessing the 'Eye of Truth' talent, who immediately recognized them as the most common variety, devoid of any unique characteristics. The entire space fell into a profound silence, so deep one could hear a pin drop. Even the cameras seemed to fall mute. Every individual present stared intently at the three papermen, eagerly awaiting the transformation Su Ping would bring to this so-called 'shame of the undead series,' igniting a new spark of vitality. Su Ping soon provided them with his answer. Addressing the three papermen before him, he spoke: "As you can observe, these are three of the most standard papermen, possessing no extraneous skills or abilities—as pure as they can possibly be." Everyone nodded in agreement. It was mildly noteworthy that these three papermen belonged to the common tenth rank, having achieved the maximum potential for their species. However, this fact alone did not signify much. Su Ping's lips curved into a slight smile. He glanced at the three papermen and then produced a pre-prepared, folded tool. This was an instrument previously utilized to assist papermen in folding their paper bodies. He had not established a soul contract with these papermen, nor did he intend to summon Qian Yi to command them; this manual approach was deemed the simplest. Everyone watched Su Ping's every move with keen interest.
