Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 300: Chapter 173: The Illusory Heart! Battle for the Plant-Type Wild Pet Beast!_2

Su Ping was speechless.

That damned Heart of the Wolf, was it even considered small profits and quick turnover? A cost of less than 30,000, selling for 250,000 on the market, and 180,000 a bottle for internal supply to the Legion and the Beast Master Association. A 500 percent profit margin, and that’s still not good enough? Of course, labor, advertising, and such also cost money, but surely not to such an exaggerated extent? Now this Illusionary Heart is even more ruthless, demanding tenfold right off the bat?

After giving it some thought, Su Ping said, ”Should we conduct some market research?”

”With no similar competing products on the market, how can you conduct research? Monopoly-type products are supposed to be expensive! True, there are similar resources, but those are Commander Level resources, the kind that go for millions...”

Dong Muyun’s brow furrowed slightly.

”Moreover, don’t assume the theoretical profit is that high. First off, there’s a chance of producing substandard Magic Potions. There’s also the cost of advertising, labor, and possibly even needing to develop new production lines and factories as an initial investment for the new Magic Potions...

”Additionally, this type of product is positioned differently; it’s unlikely that individuals will make large-batch purchases in a short amount of time...”

”Alright, alright. You handle it,” Su Ping waved his hand, leaving professional matters to the professionals.

He should just stick to counting his money; pondering these complicated matters was indeed just asking for more headaches.

So, Su Ping stood up. ”Then I’ll leave it to you. If there’s nothing else, I’m off. Please get those patents sorted out for me as soon as possible; I don’t want to make another trip.”

However, just then, Dong Muyun suddenly said, ”Wait a second.”

Meeting Su Ping’s puzzled gaze, Dong Muyun said, ”Actually, there is something. I’m not sure if you’d be interested.”

Su Ping looked at her in surprise.

Dong Muyun smiled and said, ”How’s the Heart of Woods project coming along?”

At the mention of this, Su Ping indeed smiled.

Pingyun was a channel for making money, but Heart of Woods was his home and his pursuit.

Initially, when Su Ping had just returned, Su Anyong had left a message saying he wanted to build the largest Forest Wolf Cultivation base in Dragon Nation with him.

That was indeed one of Su Ping’s pursuits as well.

So, although Pingyun was more profitable, when it came to the level of dedication, it couldn’t compare to his own Heart of Woods.

Dong Muyun had a top-floor room at ’Heart of Yun’, and nowadays, she increasingly stayed there. Naturally, she had some understanding of Su Ping’s plans for Heart of Woods. This rascal wants to create a real Pet Beast kingdom in the suburbs! Though it was still just the beginning, things were already progressing in an orderly manner.

As expected, Su Ping said with a smile, ”The first stage of the plan is almost complete. The development of the back mountain has started, covering an area of roughly twenty square kilometers.”

The barren mountain at the back was no less impressive than the lake of Heart of Water, perhaps even larger.

After all, considering he planned to turn it into a botanical garden, this area was actually considered small.

As Su Ping’s abilities grew, so did his ambitions. Initially, he felt the current area of Heart of Woods was sufficient. However, as his strength increased, he became less satisfied. After all, this part of Linzhou’s outskirts had never been significantly developed. Buying and developing it himself would also be a contribution to his hometown. Who knows, perhaps in the future, Linzhou would take pride in ’Heart of Wood’, using it as a landmark to attract tourists from afar?

However, more advanced expansion and renovation plans would require collaboration with professionals for research; otherwise, Su Ping wasn’t that skilled in design. But no matter what the future held, the scale of his own Pet Beasts was bound to grow larger and larger.

”What kinds of Pet Beasts are you planning to cultivate on the back mountain? And what will be the main industry?”

Su Ping replied matter-of-factly, ”Plant-based Pet Beasts, preferably those that can bear fruit. We can develop a part of it as a pick-your-own orchard.”

Dong Muyun nodded, as expected. ”So, will this barren mountain area be called ’Heart of Trees’ or ’Forest Heart’?”
