Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 121 - Su Yue's Talent

Chapter 121 - Su Yue's Talent

Su Bai entered the manor and felt like he had come to an ancient royal garden, with the beautiful old trees on both sides of the pathwalk. The spiritual fields in the distance were verdant, and the white pathways extended in all directions.

A river ran through the manor in the shape of a Y, and the reservoir at the center was built like a mirror. In addition, the other buildings were not just exquisite but also very fitting for the overall environment.

"There may be better manors, but this is beautiful enough in my eyes!" exclaimed Su Bai. Although he had seen the design drawings, he still felt a deep sense of shock upon seeing the actual estate.

Father Su smiled brightly at the sight of his son's happy expression. He chuckled and handed him a card. "This is the key. With it, you can come in any time."

"Okay."

Su Bai took the card and nodded. He then followed his father around the manor.

He released his pets and let them run around and play with one another.

"It seems like the aura in the s.p.a.ce crack is much richer than ours here," Su Bai looked at the spiritual fields and said.

These fields were originally ordinary soil fields, but under the irrigation of the high-concentration spiritual water flowing out of the s.p.a.ce cracks, they seemed about the same as the spiritual fields. The spiritual plants had grown very well in these past few months and were not any further off from advanced spiritual plants.

"Yes, your mother and I originally thought that this was an ordinary s.p.a.ce crack, but upon careful probing, we discovered that the concentration of aura here is very high, much higher than that of normal s.p.a.ce cracks.

"We didn't want to install a s.h.i.+eld so quickly. After all, a large s.h.i.+eld like that costs as much as tens of millions, but we had to install it after seeing the high aura concentration.

"After only ten days of installation, the concentration of aura inside the manor is already much higher than outside."

Father Su explained with a bright smile, really thanking the stars for their family's luck.

First, they discovered the s.p.a.ce crack, next Su Bai was accepted by a big boss like Gao An as a disciple, and finally they obtained the chance to own this s.p.a.ce crack.

"We're really lucky. In that case, dad, you can try breeding some fish that consume a lot of aura, or else, it'll go to waste with the flow of water."

Su Bai nodded.

"I'm already working on that. I'm raising White-fin Sturgeons, which are in demand, that consume too much aura so they're scarce in the market," said his father with a smile.

He had heard of the White-fin Sturgeon, which was a kind of fish spirit that looked similar to the Chinese Sturgeon. However, the White-fin Sturgeon had snow-white fins while its other parts were gray-black. Its meat was delicious and it was a very expensive edible spirit.

Furthermore, the higher the level, the more expensive it was. It just required too much spiritual power and cost a lot, so most people could not afford to raise it, but with the s.p.a.ce crack, the Construct Reservoir was now the perfect place for raising such fish.

"By the way, where's Su Yue? What's he doing in the summer?"

After chatting for a while, Su Bai suddenly asked.

"He's been studying medicines and spiritual plants at White Tiger Mound. He said he'll be in seclusion for the summer vacation and even asked me to buy him a million yuan worth of equipment."

His father shrugged.

"I see. I'll go over and check his situation," he said with bright eyes.

"Okay, go ahead. Your mother and I are going to plant some more spiritual plants," His father nodded in acquiescence.

Su Bai took his pets and roamed a little before turning around. "Dad, you and mom can also try contracting some new pets to train. There's no age limit for Pet Tamers, anyway, and we're not short of money anymore. You guys can consider it."

In this world, strength was a very crucial factor.

"I see." Father Su was silent for a while before responding to his suggestion.

He never thought that his failed dream since young would still have a chance of revival after a few decades. All of this was possible because of his elder son.

...

Su Bai brought his three pets to the Azure Dragon Mound.

He approached the mound and saw a very strange device.

He realized that there were several more ponds on the White Tiger Mound's side. These ponds, connected from top to bottom, were planted with many spiritual plants. The spiritual water drawn from the Construct Reservoir flowed down from the uppermost pond.

Su Bai originally thought that these were ordinary ponds, but upon a closer inspection, his expression changed:

Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ

"Such a delicate arrangement; it's absolutely amazing!" The more he examined the ponds, the more he realized their uniqueness.

With the constant flow of spiritual water, the spiritual energy contained in the water had actually increased, which was incredible.

In the last pool at the bottom of the White Tiger Mound, he could even see some fine aura crystals.

However, after careful observation, he found that it was not because the aura in the water had increased but rather because the water content had decreased. Thus, the proportion of the aura had naturally increased.

This was a reverse filtering effect achieved through the characteristics of these spiritual plants. The filtered water with a higher concentration of spiritual energy had a greater effect.

The spiritual plants irrigated by the filtered water grew even more vigorously on the mound.

Su Bai came to the villa belonging to his younger brother with a shocked expression. The door of the villa was open, so he walked straight in. Su Yue was in the middle of pouring a bottle of green medicine into a basin with a purple orchid.

As he poured the potion, the purple orchid bloomed and grew a green fruit with a diameter of two centimeters.

Su Yue looked at the fruit and shook his head in disappointment.

"Is that the ripening potion you made?" Su Bai asked after watching him for a long time.

Su Yue fiercely whipped his head about and patted his chest upon seeing him. "Big bro, you nearly scared me to death."

Sighing in relief, he said, "Yes, it's a bottle of ripening potion. I need to use this orchid's fruit to prepare some potions, but this thing's growth cycle is too long, so I concocted some ripening potion to encourage early fruiting, but this method seems only half successful."

Su Bai gazed at his younger brother, thinking that this fellow was really a genius. He took out a large piece of insect crystal from his backpack and threw it over to him. "Take it. That's for you."

"This… is an insect crystal. Big bro, you even got this? You're amazing!" Su Yue looked at the insect crystal in his hand in shock.

"I have a lot more, so you can use that." Su Bai smiled, asking, "Did you build the reverse filter outside?"

"How is it? Isn't it impressive?" asked Su Yue, feeling a little proud of himself. "Unfortunately, it hasn't been perfected yet. Once I perfect it, I'll let dad build a larger one."

"It's very impressive." Su Bai admired his younger brother very much and realized that the latter's talent in nurturing was terrifying.

Especially after witnessing his various experiments, he thought that Su Yue's talent was truly extraordinary.

"Brother, wait; I'll give you something, too," said his younger brother quickly when he moved to leave.

Su Yue turned his head and cut a piece of the insect crystal. After grinding and purifying it, he carefully threw it into a yellow liquid. The liquid then quickly turned dark green.

He poured it into a bottle and handed it to Su Bai. "Brother, here; this is for you. This is the super ripening agent I prepared. If you see a fruit that you really want, but it isn't ripe in the wild yet, just pour this onto that. It's guaranteed to ripen in less than a moment, but the price you have to pay is the death of the spiritual plant."

"Thank you. This stuff is very useful." Su Bai took the bottle and smiled. It was common to encounter immature spiritual plants in the wild, so this would indeed be useful in hastening their fruiting.

He gave Su Yue some good spiritual seedlings and the Purple Snow Ganoderma Lucidum before turning around and returning to the Azure Dragon Mound.

Pa.s.sing by the Construct Reservoir on the way, he had the urge to check the s.p.a.ce crack in its depths but recalled that only the little dragon among his pets was capable of diving and swimming into the water.

After thinking about it, he decided to look at the s.p.a.ce crack next time and not release the little dragon for now. Anyway, the s.p.a.ce crack was there forever and would not run away.

Back at the Azure Dragon Mound, he opened the s.h.i.+eld of the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush's spiritual field and saw half-human-tall green gra.s.s. If the gra.s.s's stems were not blood-colored, it would not be obvious that this was a Bloodthirsty Spear Bush.

The growth of the spiritual plants in the gra.s.s was very gratifying, especially at the sight of the large mature spiritual fruit hanging on their branches. This growth rate was simply terrifying.

"Howl! Ψ( ̄∀ ̄)Ψ"

The cub wanted to eat the fruits.

"Roar~ (๑•؎•๑)"

The little dino wanted to eat some as well.

"Hing…"

The baby fox wanted to eat, too.

The three pets looked up at their owner at the same time, salivating at the sight of the spiritual fruits in the gra.s.s.

"Wait till this afternoon; I'll buy some monster corpses before we can pick them. These must be made into potions and can't be eaten directly."

Su Bai's ruthless refusal immediately attracted the pets' contempt. Bad Ah Bai, he's always like this!

On the Azure Dragon Mound, the villa had already been built, and preliminary decoration had already been carried out. All kinds of furniture had been bought as well, so it was not a problem to stay inside.

However, the garden and other places were still bare because Su Bai had instructed them to keep them empty for other uses.

He found a small flowerbed in the backyard, dug a part of the soil out, and laid it with golden soil and rotten wood soil. He then planted all the Purple Snow Ganoderma Lucidum he had dug in the wilderness.

Finally, he placed the 10,000-year Rotten Wood monster at the center of the circular flowerbed in the villa. The decadent smell emitted by the 10,000-year Rotten Wood was conducive to the growth and advancement of the Purple Snow Ganoderma Lucidum.

The poor monster was stuck in there by Su Bai and could not move, so it could only stare and watch him.

"Be good." He touched it in rea.s.surance. He would earn money and plant several other plants.

At noon, he returned to his family's home in the town to have a meal and then took his pets out to buy ten live boars, ready to go back to feed the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush.

"Buddy, can you help me weave a rattan ball?" he asked with a smile.

"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"

No, I don't wanna! I don't have the strength and can't move at all.

The cub twisted its head and ignored him.

Su Bai squatted and poked its ear. "Are you really not helping me? I have many rewards for you, but I'll have to spend money hiring others if you don't help me."

"Howl!"

Purple Jade made a rattan ball in an instant and hypnotized the ten boars to drag them away.

It walked ahead angrily, indicating that it was not doing this for the reward.

Back at Baiyue Manor, Su Bai opened the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush's s.h.i.+eld and then opened his contract book to release the little dragon.

"Roar~"

The little dragon cried softly and looked around, seemingly looking for enemies again.

"I didn't tell you to come out to fight." He caressed its head and pointed at the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush. "Use the First Dragon Blood to transform this gra.s.s into your blood subordinate."

"Roar!"

Okay, Ah Bai, watch me!

The little dragon rubbed itself lightly on him, raised its head, and opened its mouth to cover the entire Bloodthirsty Spear Bush's spiritual field with a mouthful of First Dragon Blood.

The Bloodthirsty Spear Bush mutated drastically under the First Dragon Blood and shot up to two meters in an instant. The blood disappeared from its stems, and now it looked like any ordinary thatch.

The original Bloodthirsty Spear Bush could still be distinguished, but no one could tell the difference between this Bloodthirsty Spear Bush and an ordinary thatch.

"Little dragon, pick all the spiritual plants and fruits. Buddy, throw the black boars in," he ordered.

"Roar~ (ノ≧∀≦)ノ"

The little dragon picked the spiritual plants and fruits without hesitation. The Bloodthirsty Spear Bush did not dare to make trouble in front of it.

"Howl! ( ̄^ ̄)"

The cub was quite reluctant.

As the black boars entered the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush, the entire gra.s.s moved in an instant and instantly bound the ten boards. In a flash, their flesh was eaten and they became a pile of white bones.

The Bloodthirsty Spear Bush was more than twice as powerful as before, and Su Bai could not help but suck in a cold breath of air. It was truly terrifying.

"Little dragon, you did a good job. You're so powerful!" he exclaimed, summoning the contract book to put the dragon back inside.

"Roar~"

Ah Bai, I don't want to return to the contract book for now.

The little dragon used its ability to transform into a miniature dragon and entwined itself on him, refusing to leave.

"That's okay, but you must enter the contract book after we leave the villa."

Su Bai thought for a while and agreed. After all, his pets were outside, and it would not be good to let the little dragon stay alone in the contract book.

"Roar~(∩△∩)"

Thank you, Ah Bai~

The little dragon was extremely happy to hear this.

Su Bai returned to the villa and thought about it before finally distributing a few unimportant spiritual fruits to the four pets, which looked at him eagerly.

After obtaining the spiritual fruits, the four fellas dug in like big Tabby cats with dried fishes. They were beyond happy and gulped their food down with saliva flowing at the sides of their mouths.

Su Bai lay on the sofa and read a book for a bit while he hugged the cub and the baby fox.

"Weep weep…"

The Mewling Fox's entire body turned soft as he caressed it. It lay down directly and allowed the boy to deal with it as he pleased.

"Howl! ー( ̄~ ̄)ξ"

The cub ran away after being caressed. As a savvy pet, it would not let him keep caressing it. Pet Tamers were all pigheaded who liked the new and hated the old.

The cub went to the backyard and took out the spiritual seedlings it had saved to begin planting its own spiritual fruits.

Su Bai chatted with Chen Rouxue for half an hour before leaning on the recliner and resuming reading a book as he played soft music.

The pets were also busy playing with themselves. The cub planted trees, the baby dino stored ores, the little dragon collected some crystals and made a small nest, and the baby fox still lay on his stomach.

Meanwhile, he was planning to rest for the next three days, but early the next morning, after he picked up his fis.h.i.+ng rod to go fis.h.i.+ng at the reservoir, he received a distress call from Li Xing, Li Hai, and the others.

Li Xing: @Su Bai, come and save us! We've been surrounded and provoked.

Zhao Li: It's true! We've been surrounded here in the Chinese Redbud Wilderness. Our opponents seem to be a group of criminals. Please come and save us!

Li Hai: We're not bluffing~

He glanced at the message and replied indifferently, "No, you should call the police yourself."

Everyone: "…"

Was he so heartless? At the very least, they were three lively and pretty girls, and even the twin sisters were here. Was he really so ruthless?

Li Hai: @Su Bai, we'll give you this tree if you save us. We only want the fruit. [Picture]

Li Hai sent another message and also attached a picture.

They had actually already called the police, but the wilderness was not part of the Blue Planet and was too complicated. Hence, they did not know how long it would take the police to arrive, and the police were not enough, anyway.

In other words, they were basically useless. In many cases, by the time the police rushed over, the people had already disappeared without a trace.

They thought that since Su Bai had even resolved the club's corruption, he would definitely be more reliable and faster if he was willing to save them.

Seeing his lack of response after a long time, Li Xing quickly sent another message: @Su Bai, I was wrong. Please come and save us; we'll give you the spiritual fruits, too.
