Chapter 146: Chapter 119: Racial Degeneration? Cultivation of Forest Wolf and Elf Wolf!_2
Because they knew if they dared to make the slightest noise, or even reveal your name or my name, they wouldn’t leave a single trace of their existence in this world.
How about it? Does that satisfy you?"
Su Ping let out a helpless grin.
He absolutely believed that Dong Muyun could do everything she said.
But he also knew it wasn’t necessary.
Dong Muyun’s smile faded, and she didn’t sit down. Instead, she stood before the enormous, wrap-around floor-to-ceiling window, just as before, calmly observing the world.
"Su Ping, I’m truly envious of you, and I admire you. You possess such talent that you rose from the ranks of ordinary Beast Tamers, and you might even advance further in the future. So, I also want to tell you that in this world, people are different. You must learn to adapt to these differences, not enjoy them. And you have to strive to harness these differences."
In a past life, there were some very famous aphorisms or lines of poetry.
’Are kings, dukes, generals, and ministers destined to be so by birth?’
’Royal treasuries burn to ash, and noble bones trampled in the streets...’
Sentences like these are endless.
However, in this traversed world of Beast Tamers, although it’s said that ordinary Beast Tamers might still have a day to stand out due to assessments and strong Beast Taming Talents, in reality, the class barriers and solidification are much more exaggerated than in the past life.
Not to mention anything else, any transaction value related to the Pet Beast industry is astronomical. This is the most direct class barrier.
An average family, after a year of hard work without eating or drinking, might only save up one or two hundred thousand at most—and that’s being generous.
But just to cultivate a Pet Beast, considering the success rate, costs millions, and cultivating Skills on a Pet Beast offers only limited combat enhancement.
This is enough to show that for ordinary Beast Tamer families, it is very difficult to carve out a future on the path of Beast Taming.
Dong Muyun mentioned this lightly because she believed Su Ping, with his cunning, would be able to think things through.
So, Dong Muyun suddenly turned around, that indifferent demeanor she had previously shown the world instantly transformed into a warm smile,
"Let’s discuss our collaboration, shall we?"
Su Ping slowly emerged from his previous contemplation.
Looking at Dong Muyun, whose demeanor changed so swiftly it caught him off guard, he found it hard to pinpoint which of her personas was the real one.
When he thought about it like this, Qin Xiaoxue’s straightforward nature seemed much easier to get along with.
"What kind of collaboration? Hasn’t the Secret Realm already collapsed?"
Dong Muyun chuckled,
"I have high hopes for you, so I’d like to invest in you! Tianyun is willing to commit one billion yuan in exchange for forty-nine percent of the shares in Heart of Woods. How does that sound?"
Su Ping frowned decisively,
"I won’t sell shares in Heart of Woods."
Su Ping indeed was in dire need of cash; what Heart of Woods needed most right now was money!
Renovations cost money, digging lakes costs money, creating a botanical garden costs money, perfecting the various Species Pet Beasts for each zone costs money, and building his own professional Advanced Level laboratory costs money.
All those different types of laboratory equipment cost money, and the vast amount of resources needed in the future to attempt the Evolution of Xiao Qing, Paperman, and others also cost money!
Without money, he couldn’t do anything.
But selling shares was out of the question.
Heart of Woods was passed down by his old man; how could he sell it to others?
Never mind that Dong Muyun only wanted a mere forty-nine percent, ostensibly leaving Su Ping in complete control—who knows what the future holds?
And really, one billion yuan was just too cheap.
Dong Muyun wasn’t surprised by Su Ping’s outright rejection.
She smirked cunningly,
"That’s the investment value assessed by Tianyun’s board of directors and evaluation team. Of course, I haven’t told them about the Wanmu Wolf! Heh heh."
After a pause, Dong Muyun continued,
"I plan to invest one hundred million yuan in Heart of Woods under my own name for a one percent share. In addition, I won’t interfere with or pry into the Pet Beast Cultivation formulas, Evolution formulas, or similar matters, nor will I try to manage them. I’ll only be responsible for profit sharing. Furthermore, I’ll use my capabilities to help resolve any manageable troubles.
Also, if you ever want to buy it back, you’ll have the right of first refusal, and the repurchase price won’t exceed two hundred million yuan! How does that sound?"
Huh?!
Su Ping blinked.
Well, it goes without saying that he could never agree to the initial harsh conditions.
But Dong Muyun’s current proposal...
One percent share? It wasn’t nothing, but it was practically negligible. And Su Ping understood her intention: tying their interests together was the most direct approach.
Although one hundred million yuan was a drop in the bucket for the current Heart of Woods, it could certainly alleviate many pressing needs.
Clearly, the most important part of this offer wasn’t the money!
After all, should he wish to buy it back later, he would retain the right of first refusal.
So, was this woman actually offering money to form an alliance of mutual interest with him through this investment?
"What kind of trouble can you solve?"
Su Ping looked curiously at the woman.
Dong Muyun gave a slight smile; she knew Su Ping would be tempted by such excellent conditions.
