Beast Taming: the More the Better

It wasn’t just a local sensation in Jianghai. As discussions grew more heated, minor leaks of its content—and most importantly, its luxurious rewards—drew the attention of many young Beastmasters from neighboring provinces, who closely monitored the progression within the Heart of Soul.

However, not many could actually make the trip.

On the Blue Star, flying was a genuine luxury. The average family couldn’t afford a cross-provincial flight to Jianghai just to experience the Heart of Soul.

But within Linzhou, and especially at the newly opened Jianghai College, it had undoubtedly sparked massive excitement.

This was particularly true for the Undead Series department.

In just a few short days, Su Ping had received multiple complaints from Qin Erlong.

The dean of the Undead Series had even taken his grievances directly to him, complaining that attendance for regular classes, extracurricular Secret Realms, and Skill training sessions had plummeted.

Even when students did show up to class, many spent the entire time discussing various clues.

The moment they had free time, these Undead Series students would sprint straight to the Heart of Soul.

They didn’t act like students at all!

Su Ping felt utterly helpless about the situation. He subsequently made a phone call and promised one thing.

His very first lecture would be hosted at the Undead Series department. He would focus on Breeding techniques for Undead Pet Beasts, as well as his trials and processes before and after discovering the Paperman’s Evolution.

By deploying such an Ultimate Ability, the highly dissatisfied Undead Series dean naturally had no more complaints. Not only did he stop complaining, but later that very day, he even released a major announcement within the department.

Whichever student from the Undead Series college could clear the Heart of Soul the fastest would receive an extra 300 academic credits as a reward!

The moment this news broke, it shocked even netizens from other provinces.

Some argued that Jianghai College was willing to sell out its own students just to curry favor with the Heart of Myriad Spirits and Su Ping.

Others defended it as learning through play. They argued that exploring the Undead Series elements within the Heart of Soul would be beneficial for the future of Undead Series Beastmasters, and that Pet Beast Breeding in this new era shouldn’t be bound by convention anyway.

The two sides bickered endlessly, exchanging insults back and forth.

Yet, the more they argued, the higher the popularity of the Heart of Soul soared.

Conversely, the locals in Linzhou paid little attention to these online debates.

It was a no-brainer! To them, the Heart of Soul represented tangible resources and academic credits. Even those who weren’t Jianghai College students had their curiosity and passion ignited, vowing to clear the attraction and unlock its hidden endings within seven days.

That’s right—the existence of hidden endings had been subtly leaked by ’interns’ working at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. These leaks also confirmed that those endings came with hidden rewards.

Under these circumstances, the massive Heart of Soul had guests lining up day and night.

In just a few days, ticket sales had raked in around two hundred thousand.

Of course, this ticket revenue seemed trivial, almost like taking a loss just to generate hype.

But in reality, that wasn’t how the math worked. The Heart of Myriad Spirits had incredibly comprehensive supporting facilities. Spending time in one attraction naturally drove consumption in numerous other areas.

Over this period, coinciding with the official opening of Jianghai College, the foot traffic and general spending had skyrocketed. Profits from the biggest money-makers—the Heart of Cloud, the Heart of Water, and the core Heart of Woods—had multiplied several times over.

Moreover, ticket prices for the Heart of Soul would either drop or drastically increase in the future, depending on updates to its ’storyline events.’

The current setup was merely dipping their toes in the water.

However, the clamor outside the Heart of Soul couldn’t penetrate the Breeding rooms located in its inner core layer.

This had been taken into account during the initial design phase, ensuring that the two areas remained completely undisturbed by one another.

This was true not just for the Heart of Soul, but for the entire Heart of Myriad Spirits.
