Such an exciting fishing experience, along with the excellent serviceâwhere else could it compare? For some, the money spent wasnât even a concern. Besides, sometimes, if luck was on your side, what you caught wouldnât just save you from losing money; you could even profit!
What kind of concept was that?
Wealthy people arenât fools. If it were just a scam to take their money, so many wouldnât spend the entire day here. Some even combined their visit with a stay at the resort complex out front and decided not to leave at all.
It was precisely this kind of engaging entertainment, with excellent service and experiences worth bragging about, that drew people in. It wasnât simply about scamming money; if you were lucky or skilled, you could even make money, and it was damn exciting. Such leisure spots were what truly attracted people.
That was why the Heart of Water at the Heart of Woods Pet Beast Service Base had become so bustling in just a few days since its official completion.
"Nice one, Little Su! Youâre quite lucky today!" someone nearby called out.
It was none other than Old Zhao, fishing on the platform closest to Su Ping.
"Haha, Old Zhao, youâd better step it up! Otherwise, I might win the price of a Snow Wolf from you today!"
"Hey, you little rascal! So thatâs why you insisted on betting with me this morning! You had this planned all along, eh? Just you watch what Old Zhao can do!"
Unfortunately, Old Zhaoâs luck clearly wasnât very good. All morning, apart from catching an Ordinary Level Black Whisker Grass Carp, he hadnât made any other notable catches.
Su Ping didnât mind. He smiled faintly and flicked his fishing rod. "Xiao Qing!"
Xiao Qing let out a howl! It suddenly leaped from behind Su Ping and, in one bite, snatched the exhausted Red-Spotted Silver Carp being dragged by the mechanical fishing rod. Then, without waiting for Su Pingâs command, it bit the fish to death and took a large, satisfying bite, as if to show it off.
The onlookers couldnât help but feel a pang of pity; after all, it was too extravagant.
Feeding Elite Level fish meat so casually to Pet Beasts?
Su Ping, however, obviously didnât care much. The value of forming a Soul Contract with these mature, wild Pet Beasts wasnât significant. Moreover, without a contract, their wildness was extreme.
Itâs important to understand that in the classification by Beast Tamers, such Pet Beasts found in the wild werenât truly considered Pet Beasts. In the Legion, these highly aggressive Pet Beasts were referred to as Ferocious Beasts. The materials from these Ferocious Beasts, even their flesh, were quite valuable resources. This was also why, at the Heart of Water fishing grounds, some powerful staff members were extremely well-prepared with Mechanical Weapons. Because in this world of Beast Tamers, fishingâespecially wild fishing of this natureâcould be called an âextreme sportâ! After all, who the hell knew what kind of creature might leap out from beneath the fishing rod.
Meanwhile, Su Ping also found some satisfaction in this.
Serves them right!
Freaking fish.
Su Ping now understood which type of Pet Beast was the hardest to build a bond with.
Thatâs rightâthese aquatic creatures, like fish and shrimp.
Their seven-second memory was truly no exaggeration.
Previously, he had fished and casually raised some, hoping to reach the required intimacy level to activate the Catalog of the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas. Although he didnât plan on cultivating them, activating the Catalog would grant additional Beast Tamer Talents through the Origin feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas. No one would complain about having too many Abilities, even though many Talents were actually quite useless.
It was just too bad that after all this time, heâd gotten nothing for his efforts. Instead, it had caused him a lot of trouble. Whenever he got slightly close, these ungrateful fish heâd raised for days would try to bite him or use their Skills, leading Su Ping to suffer some minor injuries over the past couple of days. In the end, all these various fish, which hadnât warmed up to him despite being raised for so long, were given to his employees as extra meals.
People are so much better,
he thought.
Even an extra meal can build camaraderie, unlike with fish.
The uniqueness of the Heart of Water was naturally due to the Rainbow Coral Worms underwater. The Water Element Barrier sent by the Tianyun Group had been set up underwater, protecting the Rainbow Coral Worms yet still managing to attract countless aquatic Pet Beasts. The Lingxi River, being close to West Dragon Lake, saw large numbers of wild aquatic Pet Beasts coming and going, making it a perfect, natural hunting ground for them!
Although, in Dong Muyunâs view, using Rainbow Coral Wormsâsuch a precious resource Pet Beastâfor such a seemingly trivial business was like using a butcherâs cleaver to kill a chicken: complete overkill and a waste.
Su Ping, however, didnât mind.
This kind of thing was truly comfortable.
By creating such an excellent fishing spot here, even the Advanced Level individuals around Linzhou who enjoyed fishing would have to thank him.
Of course, when the place first opened, it attracted some unsavory types. However, there was no need for words; after a few discreet inquiries about the situation, no one dared to cause any trouble.
A joke! The collaborator of Queen Dong of Linzhou, with partnerships with the Legion and various associations, and a young Intermediate Breeder highly valued by two chairmenâsuch connections truly made him untouchable in Linzhou.
During this period, aside from the Meditation Method and the rather troublesome matter of raising fish, everything else left Su Ping quite satisfied. Especially Old Shaâs Cultivation. Although bringing the Heart of Woods to Perfection Level still seemed a ways off, Su Pingâs guess had indeed been correct.
