Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 740: Chapter 324: Identity Exposed! Ray Saint’s Compensation!_3

Wow, this kid really has some nerve asking for so much!

The official retail price for a Dreamheart Helmet is 120,000,000!

This little rascal truly knows what’s valuable, doesn’t he?

Su Ping wasn’t exactly strapped for cash. For someone of his status, a Mechanical Core wasn’t considered a particularly rare find these days.

Just yesterday, Dong Muyun had indeed sent him a total of twenty failed Mechanical Cores. These were to serve as the development cores for the third batch of Heart of Dreams. Of course, ten were designated for the slated third-batch development list. The other ten, Su Ping planned to temporarily use for developing the first batch of Dreamheart Helmets intended for public use in virtual cafes.

However, while I can afford it and don’t really mind, should I just give it to this little guy? It’s not that I can’t afford to lose it, but if I give it to him, can this little fellow even keep it safe? Besides, this item is prohibited for minors under the age of eighteen. Their spiritual power isn’t sufficient to handle the enhancements from the Heart of Dreams.

However, it was clear that the child before him had misunderstood.

"Like I said, don’t worry. I won’t take your item for nothing. I will give you something of far greater value in return!"

This time, Su Ping was genuinely intrigued. He was now one hundred percent certain that this little guy before him was absolutely extraordinary.

So, for the first time, he addressed the child in a tone one might use with an equal, "A Dreamheart Helmet is worth 120,000,000. What can you offer as compensation? Of course, rest assured, I, Su Ping, always keep my word! Even without any compensation, I wouldn’t go back on it!"

This time, the child finally dropped the pretense. No one was a fool. Given his peculiar way of fishing for information, even Lu Heng, whom he had slightly influenced with his spiritual power, would no longer believe he was just some homeless orphan brat.

Pausing for a moment, the child pointed towards the Heart of Water behind him and asked, "Is this Heart of Water of yours planned this way because, beneath it, there’s a specially protected Pet Beast, the Rainbow Coral Worm? However, the lifespan of a Rainbow Coral Worm is only three to five years, and this particular one has less than a year left. Propagating Rainbow Coral Worms is extremely difficult. Even if successful, it takes about a year and a half for a new one to grow to maturity and continue emitting the Rainbow Coral light. Your Heart of Water would have to suspend operations for over a year in the future! Moreover, using the precious Rainbow Coral Worm in such a manner is wasteful. So, would you like to know a cultivation method for the Rainbow Coral Worm that allows it to grow quickly, or even a method for its evolution?"

As these words were spoken, Su Ping’s pupils suddenly constricted.

At this very moment, Su Ping finally noticed that their conversation, without his realizing when, had become enclosed by an imperceptible Spirit Barrier.

But before Su Ping could dwell on it, just then, a familiar chuckle sounded from behind the crowd. "What’s all this? Such a commotion! Su Ping, I just got back from Crescent Island, and look at this, you’ve got quite a catch here..."

That voice belonged to none other than Qin Erlong!

As the foremost figure in Linzhou, Qin Erlong might not know most of the people present, but most of them certainly had to know him!

Upon hearing his voice, the crowd instinctively parted, clearing a path.

"President Qin, good day!"

"President Qin..."

"..."

The greetings continued, but Old Qin paid them no mind. His smiling gaze fell upon the two individuals standing opposite each other at the end of the now-parted crowd. Suddenly, the smile on his face froze. Interrupting many of the well-wishers, he blurted out instinctively, "Ray Saint? What are you doing here?"
