This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 465 - 381: Paradise of the Strawmen (Part 2)

Generally, after one or two years of maturity, individual creatures will pass away, turning into pure shiny wood.

This type of wood is insect-proof, moisture-proof, and sturdy. Plus, its chair-like shape means it often requires no post-processing, making it a favorite choice for wealthy families.

There’s another kind of lazy magical creature that looks a lot like an ant-eater.

They just lie on the ground with their mouths open, waiting for insect food to crawl in.

This magical beast, called Lazy Sugar, sells its poop as its product.

That’s right, poop.

And it’s crystal clear and extremely sweet poop.

It’s one of the rare magical food items with absolutely no side effects on the human body.

Some people, once they’ve tasted that sweetness, find it unforgettable and want more.

Altogether, it’s a hot commodity in the market.

However, when Li Pu saw Boss Pang eat a piece of poop without any hesitation and with an expression of enjoyment, he made it clear that he would never eat it.

Just looking at it was unacceptable to him.

Besides that, there are quite a few other weird things.

In terms of types, the number is almost comparable to a quarter of the Southern Forest.

It’s just a pity that their ranks are generally low; the highest is only E+.

Low-ranked magical beasts mostly require a lot of related materials to form a complete set.

Along the way, he casually "silently" collected some magical beasts, and sure enough, they were all 1/100 types.

Although there are many magical beast varieties here, none of them have over a hundred in number, so any thought of gathering related materials had to be given up.

Additionally, Li Pu asked Boss Pang out of curiosity if these magical beasts’ cards were for sale.

Unexpectedly, Boss Pang was very agreeable and directly gave him a whole set on the spot.

Because these magical beasts aren’t actually rare, and the quality of the cards is very low, basically none of them are presentable.

Sometimes, some cube card enthusiasts would come over and ask the same question as Li Pu.

Boss Pang usually works on the farm, and often accidentally collects some cards for various reasons.

If it were someone else, they might sell this farm card set for a few thousand Crystal Coins.

However, considering he has earned quite a lot thanks to Teacher Guan in recent years, he offered it as a favor to Li Pu.

Li Pu expressed sincere gratitude for this.

In others’ eyes, these cards might not be worth much, but to him, they are excellent fusion materials. Who knows, they might combine into a divine card.

"The related work I mentioned before is actually here in this cultivation base."

When the three had toured over half of the valley, Guan Heshi said so.

The economic benefits of most magical beasts in the base are related to their own levels.

For example, the first seen Lantern Tree - the higher its level, the better its lighting effect.

Another example is the Lazy Sugar’s poop - the higher the level of Lazy Sugar, the tastier the poop.

So, the farm products here are basically priced according to level.

However, it’s a relatively slow process for magical beasts in a natural environment to grow or level up.

The best approach at times like this is human intervention.

Just that, due to the many types of magical beasts in the valley, the corresponding cultivation methods are many and varied.

Generally, each Summoner has their own strengths and it’s hard to be comprehensive.

Hiring a single Summoner couldn’t encompass all the magical beasts in the farm.

Hiring multiple Summoners would be too expensive.

So this issue has always been a headache for Boss Pang.

Guan Heshi heard some rumors and found out that Li Pu is quite skilled at cultivating summoned beasts, which is why he introduced him to this job.

The valley hasn’t been fully toured yet, so Li Pu hasn’t asked about the salary for the cultivation job.

However, he feels that this task might really be worth taking.

Because the magical beasts on the farm are fed regularly and stably, overall nutrition is definitely not lacking, just like Boss Pang introduced, the main issue is self-digestion.

And they’re also densely distributed, which can save him a lot of time, improving efficiency greatly.

The three, along with Caocao, walked further in the valley, and suddenly the grassman froze in its tracks.

In Li Pu’s confusion, he saw it suddenly leap off the floating board and rush to a fork in the road...

[Caocao!]

Upon seeing what’s inside, the grassman pressed its hands on its cheeks and gasped in surprise.

"Is there something strange in there?"

Li Pu couldn’t help but look at Boss Pang.

Honestly, he had never seen the grassman act like this before.

"Well..."

Boss Pang’s expression was a bit odd, merely motioning everyone to speed up the floating board to catch up.

"Uh..."

However, before reaching that corner, Li Pu seemed to already know the answer.

Because he heard... a very familiar sound, and there seemed to be quite a lot of it.

[Caocao!][Caocao Caocao!][Cao!][Caocao!][Cao!][Caocao Caocao!][Cao!]

"My goodness."

When he stepped into the alley, he was also shocked by the scene inside.

Grassmen, lots of grassmen.

No matter the color or appearance, they looked almost exactly like the grassman.

It seemed the only difference was the slight variation in size.

If he tossed his own grassman into this bunch, he might not even be able to find which one was his.

[Caocao Caocao!]

Grassman: Summoner! This place is cruel! They’re raising and selling grassman meat!

The grassman, aware it’s a farm, immediately reacted by speaking out for its fellows.

"Don’t misunderstand me."

But Boss Pang seemed to understand the grassman’s meaning and quickly explained.

"Isn’t the environmental theme popular lately? Things like grass shoes, grass bags, and even grass weaving crafts are trending in big cities."

"So I imported a batch of grassmen and started a grass supply business."

"In any case, these guys are pretty easy to maintain, they don’t even need to be fed anything, just sunbathe, moon-bathe, and drink water."

"So, it’s basically a business that can’t lose money."

"As for their taste, it’s so terribly bad that there’s no market as animal feed."

Grassman: Cao!

He felt it important to clarify things so Li Pu, as a Summoner of the grassman, wouldn’t develop any emotional bias or rejection; thus, he explained in detail.

Li Pu nodded.

After hearing this explanation, he felt much better and found it at least acceptable.

"I see they look pretty happy."

Upon closer observation, he could see that these grassmen seemed carefree, radiating a cheerful vibe.

This Hutong Valley had all kinds of facilities for them to play.

Things like slides, seesaws, ball pits, swimming pools, etc.

Without a Summoner’s enhancement, their intellect development might be low, so they’re playing with kindergarten-level things.

"Haha, they do seem happy... sigh."

Boss Pang was actually quite helpless about it as these facilities had indeed cost him a lot.

The main reason was that grass product manufacturers had high standards for the quality of fodder, requiring mature and naturally fallen whole blades of grass, claiming such grass is of higher quality, resilience, and softness, and the products made meet customer demands better.

So Boss Pang couldn’t actively gather them but had to set up these play facilities here, hoping they’d run around more so more grass fodder would fall for him to sell.

"So many identical grassmen, it’s making me dizzy."

Li Pu stood at the mouth of the valley, rubbing his nose bridge.

He casually picked up a piece of grass dropped at his feet, only to discover it’s not even considered a related item.

The grassman is truly a weak species.

Grassman: Cao!

"How could it be? If you observe carefully, grassmen can be easily distinguished."

Next to him, Guan Heshi had a different view.

"Every single tuft of hair on their heads is unique."

"With this differentiation, you can totally tell them apart."

One must admit, that’s knowledge.

However, Li Pu wanted to say that even knowing this, he really didn’t want to sort them out, just looking at all those tufts of hair indeed made one’s eyes dizzy.

"It’s actually okay; every magical beast here has a marked tag so you can identify which is which by the number."

Boss Pang explained with a smile.

[Cao~~~]

Meanwhile, the grassman seemed to have found its homeland.

It leaped forward, diving into the heap of grassmen.

[Cao!][Caocao!][Caocao Cao!][Caocao!][Caocao Cao!]

Yet these grassmen had a slightly xenophobic, or rather hostile, nature.

Seeing a new grassman join, they all surrounded it in unison, proceeding to stomp on it.
