Chapter 1029: Chapter 429: Land Purchase and Planning! Su the Magnate’s Boldness!
“Thanks a lot, Jiao Long!”
“You’re wele, Master. Serving you is the very mission Jiao Long was born for!”
The mechanical voice sounded, and the opened passage extended out.
Su Ping took the lead and walked out of the cabin.
The weather in Linzhou was even hotter than in the Imperial Capital.
But the air of his hometown made Su Ping narrow his eyes subconsciously, feeling the plete relaxation of nerves that had been taut for so long, as if a sense of lightness was seeping out from every pore.
As the saying goes, a gold nest and a silver nest aren’t as good as your own doghouse, and now his own place wasn’t a doghouse anymore!
Then Su Ping glanced around.
A temporarily repaired landing pad stretched wide and flat.
And this was the temporary landing zone that had been built over the past half month inside the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
At this moment, figures were already standing outside the perimeter, waiting for Su Ping’s return.
Among these people, naturally, Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai were at the front.
The rest included a few familiar faces Su Ping knew, people from the Breeder Association.
Aside from that, there were people from the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
As Su Ping slowly walked down, these figures were the first to e up to greet him.
“Su Ping, you really brought glory to our Linzhou, to our Jianghai!”
Qin Erlong even directly ignored his eldest granddaughter at his side. If it weren’t for the gap in age and seniority, he’d probably have wanted to give this brat a big bear hug.
Qin Xiaoxue shot the old man a sideways look:
“Old man, and I didn’t bring glory? I’m a proper fourth place at least, okay?”
Qin Erlong gave Qin Xiaoxue a glance:
“What’s that got to do with you? You took fourth place as someone who walked out of Magic Capital Academy. Our Su Ping is a bona fide native of Jianghai Linzhou! e on, Su Ping! We’ve been waiting like staring at the stars and moon for you to finally e back today. Well, how about we go have a few drinks?”
Before this, he had always been a tea drinker. For him to ask for alcohol today really showed how long Old Qin had been holding out for this day.
Su Ping helplessly shook his head:
“Old Qin, my condition…”
Qin Erlong froze for a moment, then finally remembered the matter of that Celestial Tomb Mark. Scratching his head a bit awkwardly, he said:
“My bad, I wasn’t thinking it through. All right, you’ve been in the Imperial Capital so many days, you must be worn out. Get some rest first. Once you’ve recovered, the two of us old pals will have some tea.”
Su Ping felt as if a great burden had been lifted, and quickly nodded: “Sure. Just right, I brought back quite a bit of good tea from the Imperial Capital this time. When the time es, I’ll invite you… and Old Liu to taste it together!”
Seeing Liu Fuhai beside them, eyes bulging, his big bald head shining under the sun like a giant marinated egg, Su Ping hurriedly called him in.
Only then did the latter chuckle and nod in satisfaction.
Qin Erlong, on the other hand, gave a cold snort:
“Xiao Ping, Old Liu took such a big advantage of you, he ought to be the one treating you!”
Advantage?
Su Ping was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at Liu Fuhai next to him.
Only then did Liu Fuhai finally speak:
“Su Ping, that Skill bo you mentioned last time on the Icefang Whitewolf has shown its first signs. It hasn’t fully fused yet, but it’s starting to shape up.”
“Most likely in the future, once the skill level meets the requirement, there’s a very good chance it’ll plete that Super-Rank Skill bo!”
Hearing this, Su Ping’s eyes lit up.
He had just gotten home and already heard good news!
For Su Ping, this was indeed good news.
Even though this kind of result wouldn’t improve his current research much, it had one crucial meaning.
He had taken part to a certain extent in this round of Skill Breeding, and it was even a Super-Rank Skill. Once it was pleted, the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas would feed back some Universal Experience Points.
And right now, what Su Ping lacked most was exactly these Experience Points.
“That’s great! I’ll go take a look over there later!”
Hearing this, the two present finally understood. They exchanged a look, then said:
“In that case, we’ll head out first. You just came back from the Imperial Capital, get some rest. When you’re free tomorrow, we’ll e find you for tea!”
With that, Qin Erlong turned to Qin Xiaoxue beside him:
“Xiao Xue, you’re ing with me. Your grandma told me to bring you back and talk about your choice for your fourth Pet Beast this time!”
Qin Xiaoxue knew what counted as serious business, so she nodded as well. After waving somewhat reluctantly at Su Ping, she followed Old Qin and Old Liu away.
Su Ping finally let out a long breath, then turned to Guan Qianshan and the students who had e—the ones who were, in name, his Breeder students—and smiled slightly:
“No rush on anything else! To celebrate me taking first place in this Professional Assessment Tournament, everyone in the Heart of Myriad Spirits who has signed a contract gets a full year’s bonus as a reward!”
He wasn’t short of money!
He had no real use for the cash anyway. The money over at Pingyun was just numbers at this point, and he’d long since lost any real sense of it.
However, those words made Guan Qianshan in front of him freeze for a moment, his expression turning slightly awkward:
“Su Ping, the accounts of the Heart of Myriad Spirits haven’t been very flush lately…”
Huh?
Su Ping looked at Guan Qianshan. Before leaving, he’d transferred over the dividends from the past few months at Pingyun!
At the very least, there were still several hundred million.
And for the Heart of Myriad Spirits, it should be self-sufficient for regular operating expenses.
Unless there had been some extra expenditures.
Still, the construction of the Heart of Earth and the improvements to the Heart of Soul shouldn’t have burned through that much money in such a short time, right?
