Chapter 467 - 382: Boss Pang’s Treasure_2
Perhaps sensing someone approaching, the eggshell beast trembled slightly.
At 100,000 each, Li Pu silently estimated the eggshell beasts filling the room.
In other words, the total price here would at least be a staggering four to five million crystal coins.
According to Boss Pang’s calculation, multiply by 2 for a rough estimate, and the entire farm’s value would exceed ten million.
He truly hadn’t expected Boss Pang standing in front of him to have such wealth.
"The best moment to form a pact with eggshell beasts is when they are max level at stage 0."
"As long as you personally help during its stage 1 hatching process, the success rate of forming a pact can reach 99.99%."
"Moreover, after stage 1, it will break part of the eggshell, revealing some basic features and gaining mobility."
Boss Pang continued with the introduction.
"But the self-upgrading speed of the eggshell beast is simply too slow."
"When I got this batch of eggs, they were still LV0, and now after a year, they’ve only reached LV5."
"I’ve done my best to provide them with the best conditions and most abundant nutrients."
"Sigh..."
At this point, he sighed deeply.
At this rate, it’ll probably take at least another seven or eight years before these eggs can be sold at a high price.
Wild eggshell beasts are much worse in this aspect compared to summoned eggshell beasts.
But there’s no way around it, because aside from the method just mentioned, a summoner forming a pact with an eggshell beast is nearly impossible.
Because completely sealed within the eggshell, they refuse any specific interaction with the outside world.
And if you wait until they actually hatch to communicate and form a pact, the price then will fluctuate greatly based on their own condition.
A wise businessman only seeks stable investment returns.
So someone like Boss Pang naturally wouldn’t gamble on cracking an egg.
"Are eggshell beasts that slow to upgrade?"
Li Pu hadn’t expected this.
"Maybe... I could help a little?"
He felt that theoretically, he should be able to speed up the eggshell beast’s upgrade process.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Boss Pang was first taken aback and then turned to look at Guan Heshi.
Actually, he had asked teachers from Xidu University for help with the eggshell beast issue several times.
After all, the faster he got returns on the eggshell beasts, the sooner he could reinvest.
But as mentioned before, each cultivating summoner has their unique cultivation methods.
So, upon learning that the target for cultivation was the eggshell beast, every teacher expressed helplessness.
After all, the eggshell both protected the eggshell beast and prevented it from receiving outside help.
Yet now a mere student from Xidu University claimed he had a way?
He thought he could solve something his own teachers couldn’t?
Confidence is good, of course.
But Guan, your student is being a bit too arrogant, isn’t he?
"Just let him try it then."
Guan Heshi spread his hands.
It’s not that he really thought Li Pu would have a solution.
It’s just, how do they say it?
Trying doesn’t lead to pregnancy.
Plus, after what happened at the card table earlier, he did have some trust in Li Pu.
This guy wasn’t someone who spoke recklessly.
"Well then... okay."
"What help do you need from me?"
Given Guan Heshi’s face, Boss Pang could only nod.
He wasn’t worried about the eggshell beast being damaged, as they were tough magical beasts after all.
Besides, this was just cultivation, it wouldn’t resort to rough handling, right?
"Pang Bro, you just watch."
Then, to his surprise, Li Pu pulled out a vine whip in front of him.
"Ah this..."
Though the greenhouse was warm, Boss Pang felt a cold sweat break out.
These eggs were expensive things, more important to him than his own eggs in some sense.
Not to mention breaking the eggshell, but what if the yolk inside got damaged?
"Ah this..."
Guan Heshi hadn’t really known about Li Pu’s cultivation methods either.
But seeing this, he was stunned as well.
Strictness plus discipline, indeed some people do use such methods to train summons.
But are you really sure you want to whip an egg?
Why does it seem like you’re playing spin tops?
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Realizing something was wrong, Boss Pang hurriedly tried to stop Li Pu.
But was met with a whip.
Snap!
The rough surface of the whip lashed onto Boss Pang’s fair, tender, chubby hand, causing him pain immediately.
"What are you doing?!"
He held his whipped hand in grievance, feeling that the whip was not light, at least breaking the skin and drawing blood.
"Pang Bro, do you see any injury on your hand?"
Li Pu knew more explanation would be futile; letting the other person experience it firsthand was better.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Boss Pang raised his hand to find his skin still fair, tender, and plump, without even a shallow mark.
"You..."
In disbelief, he looked once more at Li Pu.
"Clearly it’s painful, but no marks left?"
"Your technique is impressive!"
"Since you look good too, ever thought of a more relaxed, lucrative job?"
"I happen to know a few young bosses who like..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Pang, what are you saying!"
Boss Pang was interrupted before he could finish speaking by Guan Heshi.
His student was still a kid, and this world was a pure world.
"Pang Bro, now you can relax."
Li Pu just smiled, then continued.
"It’s just because you’re a person."
"If I hit your egg with this whip, the effect would be different."
If not for real-life context, these words would definitely be misunderstood.
They sound like an insult and carry ambiguity.
"Oh? Really?"
By now, Boss Pang had gone from utterly disbelieving to half-believing.
If just that level of force was used, it shouldn’t be threatening to the eggshell beast.
As for if it really works, there’s only trying to find out.
"Wait a moment."
Thinking of this, he struggled to carry an egg outside the door, invited the two out, and then carefully closed the door.
Li Pu said no more, raising the whip and whipping the eggshell beast.
Snap!
The loud sound accompanied the slight tremble of the eggshell beast.
"Easy, easy!"
Boss Pang felt the whip seemed to land on himself.
"Pang, stop yelling, that force couldn’t even kill a scarecrow."
Guan Heshi, beside him, couldn’t bear to watch.
"Teacher, you can’t let the scarecrow hear that."
Li Pu said while swinging the whip, laughing.
If the scarecrow heard, it would certainly protest, "Who are you underestimating?"
"Your scarecrow wouldn’t fear this little attack, would it?"
Guan Heshi laughed too.
Li Pu: "Of course not, but it would fall down and blackmail you for money."
Guan Heshi: "..."
Li Pu: "Moreover, it only takes coins."
Guan Heshi: "..."
Under Boss Pang’s anxious gaze, Li Pu whipped about a few dozen times.
Coincidentally, this eggshell beast was already on the verge of leveling up, so after this boost, it indeed reached LV6.
"Really, it can upgrade like this?!"
Putting down the test instrument, Boss Pang was completely stunned.
Not just him, even Guan Heshi was a bit incredulous.
Li Pu’s cultivation method he had heard of long ago.
Using seemingly absurd methods to rapidly upgrade beasts/summons, like boiling, electric shock, kissing (?), etc.
The surprising part was the efficiency was too high?!
In less than ten minutes, the 0-stage summon beast was upgraded from LV5 to LV6?
"Now you believe, Pang Bro."
Li Pu put away the whip and smiled at him.
Since he could equip [Wisdom Root], he had been practicing.
Now his technique was quite skillful.
"I believe, I believe, I do!"
Coming back to his senses, Boss Pang’s eyes shone, gripping Li Pu’s shoulders.
"When can you start working???"
