Chapter 468 - 383: Farm Employee Xiao Wang
Since Boss Pang showed a strong desire to employ him, Li Pu was actually quite tempted.
But he still wanted to see specifically what kind of compensation the other party could offer.
So the two of them found a suitable place, and with the witness (and support) of Guan Heshi, they began the negotiation.
After some bargaining, Li Pu and Boss Pang nailed down all the compensation details.
First, they needed to establish a premise, which was that he would probably only work on the farm for about 30 days, so he could only be considered a temporary worker.
After all, in a little over a month, the semester would end and the winter break would begin, and he had to go home for the New Year.
The first thing Boss Pang was most concerned about, naturally, was the cultivation of the Eggshell Beasts.
At this point, Guan Heshi also played his professional role.
After roughly figuring out Li Pu’s cultivation principles, he set the tone for the cultivation of the Eggshell Beasts.
That was, in 30 days, they could only raise this batch of Eggshell Beasts from LV5 to LV10.
The slow speed wasn’t Li Pu’s fault.
He could indeed aid the beasts in digesting nutrients within their bodies, but because of the hindrance of the eggshell, the Eggshell Beasts had a limited speed in absorbing energy from the outside world.
It’s true that using some expensive materials could enhance their absorption speed, but the cost wasn’t something Boss Pang could accept.
So essentially, even though the upgrade speed of these Eggshell Beasts would increase significantly under Li Pu’s cultivation, there would still be a limit.
This limit wasn’t determined by Li Pu’s technique or method, but rather by the rate at which the Eggshell Beasts themselves absorb energy from the outside world for storage.
So under this premise, Boss Pang offered an average price of 600 Crystal Coins per level for each Eggshell Beast upgrade.
This average price far exceeded the market price of 100~150 Crystal Coins per level.
There were a total of 53 Eggshell Beasts here, and in one month’s time, from LV5 to LV10, that sums up to 265 levels.
At 600 per level, that totals to 159,000.
As previously mentioned, Boss Pang expected this batch of Eggshell Beasts would take seven to eight years to sell.
Now, if Li Pu takes on the cultivation, it could save them over a year in time.
Considering the cost savings in various aspects, this was the highest premium price Boss Pang could offer.
Regarding this, Li Pu gladly accepted.
Fifteen thousand a month, just from this task alone, already met his previous expectations for the job.
But simply raising them—oh, no, simply cultivating these Eggshell Beasts would still leave him with plenty of time.
So Li Pu took on another job.
That was to cultivate the other magical creatures at the valley base.
The energy absorption efficiency of these magical creatures varied; some were faster while others were slower, but even the slowest absorbed much faster than the Eggshell Beasts.
Plus, their numbers were so large that Li Pu thought even if he worked tirelessly, day and night, for 30 days, he couldn’t max them all out.
The "no ceiling" referred to by Guan Heshi earlier probably pointed to this task.
Due to the large quantity, Boss Pang drastically slashed the prices for this job.
When Li Pu took on tasks at school, the prices were as follows:
LV1~10, 100 Crystal Coins per level.
LV10~20, 150 Crystal Coins per level.
LV20~30, 300 Crystal Coins per level.
LV30~40, 500 Crystal Coins per level.
But the final negotiated result was that regardless of the level, they would all be calculated at 150 Crystal Coins per level.
Every magical creature on the farm was marked, so it would be easy to track with a dedicated person following them, not a challenging task.
Plus, with Guan Heshi involved, Li Pu wouldn’t exaggerate, and Boss Pang wouldn’t try to swindle him, so there was a lot of trust between both sides.
Li Pu, however, wasn’t very clear on how much this task could earn him over 30 days.
After all, he hadn’t tried going from dawn to dusk just to brawl—oh, no, to cultivate magical creatures.
In addition to the aforementioned two tasks, Li Pu also found work for his summoned beasts.
That was the magical creature feeding task outside the high wall.
He had inquired during his visit to the high wall, and due to the vast area and variety of magical creatures, which were also somewhat dangerous, the pay was quite substantial.
If the entire feeding task was contracted, the daily wage would be over 3,000 Crystal Coins.
If handled by other summoned beasts, the efficiency might be dismal and they might not even be capable of completing it.
But Li Pu thought the combination of Bobo and Ugly Little Wolf could complete it well.
Because Bobo had a storage space to hold a large amount of feeding materials.
And it also possessed [Quick Sprint] + [Ghost Step], which would significantly increase travel speed and efficiency.
The only downside was its laziness.
This shortcoming could be entirely compensated by Ugly Little Wolf.
He believed it would be more than happy to mark all the land within the high wall as its own territory.
Besides, marking territory is something that needs to be done repeatedly every day.
So for the Bobo + Ugly Little Wolf combo, they were willing to do it, almost like roaming free and being wild.
Taking on this task, 30 days could earn 100,000 Crystal Coins, which is much more stable and easy than having them hunt or treasure hunt.
The above three tasks were Li Pu’s plan for the next 30 days.
Even if the uncertain income of the second task was removed, the minimum would still be 260,000, absolutely enough for Ugly Little Wolf’s second transformation.
As for the scarecrow, Li Pu couldn’t find a suitable job for it.
