Chapter 463 - 380: Magic Beast Farm (Part 2)
The reason Crystal Coins extracted from magical beast corpses or materials from other worlds can become currency in the Summoner community is not only because of their unparalleled concentration but mainly because they are a very efficient and environmentally friendly energy source.
Far more efficient than any energy source on Blue Star.
"Come on, get in the car."
Boss Pang stuck his head out from the driver’s window.
"Hey, Brother Pang, can I drive for a bit?"
Li Pu raised his hand.
Guan Heshi: "Hmm? Do you have a driver’s license?"
Li Pu: "No."
Guan Heshi: "Then forget it, don’t set a bad example here."
Unfortunately, Li Pu’s request was denied.
Because without a driver’s license, you can’t drive. Safety first on the road.
The interior of the off-road vehicle was very spacious, and Li Pu’s three summoned beasts weren’t large, so they rode inside too.
Li Pu sat in the passenger seat and found the vehicle drove exceptionally smoothly.
Driving over some stones or obstacles didn’t feel bumpy at all.
"Buckle up, we’re about to enter the magical beast zone."
As they approached the towering concrete wall, Boss Pang reminded Li Pu.
Previously, while on the bird’s back, Li Pu had seen this towering wall.
Though not as imposing as a great stone wall, it was quite long.
"Do you think the armor on this vehicle is a bit excessive? Actually, I feel it’s not safe enough."
"Some magical beasts on the farm aren’t so well-behaved."
As they passed through the automatic gate, Boss Pang explained.
"Of course, with Teacher Guan here, there’s definitely no danger this time."
"But normally, I need this vehicle to come in."
With a change of tone, he cunningly flattered Guan Heshi.
"Don’t think just because it’s called a farm, the magical beasts here are harmless."
"Often, the relatively fierce magical beasts have higher economic value."
Guan Heshi also reminded Li Pu at this moment.
But despite saying that, he wasn’t worried about Li Pu.
If he thought there was any danger, he wouldn’t have introduced the job to him.
Bang!
As they conversed, the vehicle suddenly shook noticeably.
"Whoa, is today crazy or what?"
Boss Pang hurriedly adjusted the steering wheel, looking slightly flustered.
"What is that thing?"
Li Pu looked around Boss Pang from the left side window to see clearly.
A large frog with dense white fur bumped the vehicle with the curled horn on its head.
"We’re about to enter the territory of the wool frogs."
"These are giant frogs with fur similar to sheep."
"Their fur grows quickly, is of superior quality, and is worth hundreds of times more than ordinary sheep wool."
As Boss Pang steadied the vehicle’s direction, he explained.
The wool frogs weren’t at their fullest-furred state now; the harvest season is usually during the spring and autumn each year.
Then he has to hire professional summoner teams, paying a hefty price to strip off their fur.
"One of the notable habits of wool frogs is their sensitivity to moving objects."
"Smaller ones are considered food, while larger ones are considered bigger chunks of food."
"However, wool frogs’ strength is generally not very high, with a natural limit of 2nd transformation."
Guan Heshi spoke up at this time.
"Teacher Guan, that’s good for you, huh."
Upon hearing this, Boss Pang smiled bitterly.
His aptitude is somewhat limited, and he’s a mere 2nd transformation summoner.
He only has three moderately strong 2nd transformation summoned beasts, leaning more towards practical use.
Summoners like Boss Pang are actually typical in the community.
Many people’s talent is limited, and once their spiritual power reaches a certain level, they struggle to break through the bottleneck, stuck at their current strength stage unable to advance.
"Usually, at this time, they’re all hiding in their dens asleep."
"Seems today they’ve gotten up early, everyone hold on tight, I’ll increase speed and dash through."
Seeing more and more wool frogs ahead, Boss Pang’s expression became somewhat serious.
Bam! Bam! Bam!...
Soon enough, wool frogs began crashing in from all directions.
[Darn!]
Grassman: This shaking, I’m about to spill grass juice!
Grassman expressed dissatisfaction at the situation.
Especially now, Bu Bu was munching on its head, swinging back and forth as the vehicle shook, straining its neck.
[Hooray Bop Bop!]
As for the ugly pup, it pawed softly at the window, looking like it wanted to challenge the wool frogs.
"Your little dark cloud wolf is quite interesting."
Driving the car, Boss Pang noticed through the rear mirror and couldn’t help but smile.
He felt if such a weak little wolf were to face the wool frogs, it would surely be taught a hard lesson.
However, after saying this, Boss Pang suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why is there wind in the car while driving?
For safety’s sake, he clearly closed all the windows.
Glancing around the car, Boss Pang immediately noticed something amiss.
Even with the wind blowing on his face, he was drenched in sweat.
"Li little brother, this is really dangerous!"
If it were anyone else, were it not for Teacher Guan, he might have scolded them on the spot.
Because somehow, Li Pu had rolled the window down, enjoying the breeze.
He even hung his hand out the window, looking relaxed.
"Hmm? What danger?"
Reminded by Boss Pang, Li Pu appeared puzzled.
"You’re fine, Little Pang, there are no wool frogs in his direction."
At this moment, Guan Heshi spoke up to explain.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Pang’s mouth hung open.
This is wool frog territory, their dens are scattered everywhere.
How could there be none in the specific direction of Li Pu?
And his eyes weren’t blind, the white figures he saw from the passenger window, weren’t they wool frogs?
(Eh? But why are those wool frogs lying down kicking their legs?)
But upon closer inspection, Boss Pang noticed a detail.
Recalling carefully, it seemed that the vehicle’s front, rear, and left side were assailed by wool frogs, except for Li Pu’s side!
In reality, the wool frogs didn’t want to crash the vehicle, they’ve just felt like a weight pressed them to the ground, unable to move despite struggling.
These wool frogs have been on the farm for some years; half are at 0 or 1st transformation, while the other half are 2nd transformation.
But at this level, it’s nothing to Li Pu.
He doesn’t even need dual orbic Strength, just exerting single orbic Strength’s [Gravity Field] to its extreme is enough to press them in submission.
"Li little brother, you’ve got skills"
Though Boss Pang didn’t understand the principle behind this, it was clear it was Li Pu’s work.
Seems the first student introduced by Teacher Guan is quite reliable.
Next, the vehicle spent over two hours roughly patrolling the area within the wall.
Li Pu also got an overview of the magical beasts being reared here.
Besides the wool frogs, several other species had aggressive tendencies, but none dared act up in front of his [Gravity Field].
During this, Boss Pang roughly introduced the work content here.
Actually, it’s simple: feed magical beasts based on their dietary habits.
This task usually involves two forms: summoner manual labor or intelligent robots.
Robots capable of safely functioning within the wall naturally run on Crystal Coins.
But their energy consumption and occasional breakdown rates are a considerable expense.
If possible, Boss Pang prefers paying summoners to do the job.
Because repairing machines is time-consuming, impacting feeding efficiency.
If the magical beasts go hungry, who knows what chaos they’d cause.
Li Pu inquired a bit; if one person claims the feeding tasks entirely, the daily salary is about 3000 Crystal Coins plus.
This slightly contrasts with Guan Heshi’s previous claim of no upper limit.
However, when the off-road vehicle exited the high wall, not heading back to the office, Li Pu knew that there might be other types of job opportunities awaiting him.
"Li little brother, I heard you’re good at cultivation?"
On the way, Boss Pang mysteriously smiled.
