Find a Ranch Owner who understands the Bountiful Ranch talent, rent a ranch from him, and the Ranch Owner will readily agree, giving Li Cunxu thirty percent of the ranch's earnings. This is not for any particular reason, but because having the Bountiful Ranch talent passively operating on one's own ranch brings greater profit.
And Shi Jintang? Forget splitting the profits; he wouldn't even give a single reward.
Li Cunxu understood; this guy wanted to freeload off his talent while expecting him to be grateful for the loan of the ranch to train his talent.
Fortunately, he asked one more question, otherwise, he would have been tricked.
Damn it, he was disgusted by this guy.
Scold him? Unnecessary. For someone who can say such shameless things without changing his expression, words are useless against him; scolding him would just waste his own breath.
Someone like him doesn't even deserve to be scolded by him.
Later, when he has developed enough, he can just put a sack over his head and beat him up.
"You should give this opportunity to someone else!" Li Cunxu pouted.
"What is your attitude?" Shi Jintang said dissatisfiedly, "This Principal is giving you an opportunity to train, yet you show no gratitude."
"I don't want the ranch, whoever wants it can have it."
Li Cunxu was afraid he couldn't help but start cursing, and the curses would be very foul, making the situation difficult to manage.
Arriving at the assigned Breeder class, looking at the pile of books handed out that was almost stacked into a small mountain, Li Cunxu got a headache; this was only for one semester.
Half of them were about the habits of Pet Beasts and how to interact correctly with them, and the other half were about methods for making Spiritual Food.
Spiritual Food is the sustenance Breeders make for Pet Beasts. Different Spiritual Foods have different effects; some can increase a Pet Beast's strength, while others can increase its speed...
After experiencing a morning of Breeder classes, Li Cunxu realized the Breeder courses were useless to him.
Regarding the class on Pet Beast habits, he was a veteran player in his previous life; with forty years of gaming experience, he knew more about Pet Beast habits than the teacher on the podium.
As for the class on making Spiritual Food.
Making Spiritual Food requires precise and flawless control; messing up one step could turn a bowl of Spiritual Food into a deadly dish of dark cuisine.
In his previous life, Li Cunxu was clumsy and incapable of precise, delicate tasks; learning to make Spiritual Food ended in failure.
Whether he is clumsy in this life, Li Cunxu is unsure, but even if he isn't, he doesn't plan to learn how to make Spiritual Food.
Because five years later, with technological innovation, Pet Beast food that far surpasses Spiritual Food—Spiritual Crystals—will emerge.
Using the same ingredients, the effect of Spiritual Crystals is better than that of Spiritual Food.
Spiritual Food preparation is cumbersome.
Spiritual Crystal preparation is simple.
Spiritual Food has a short shelf life, from one day to one month.
Spiritual Crystals have a long shelf life, from one year to several hundred years.
If preserved properly, Spiritual Crystals can last for centuries. As the saying goes: one Crystal is passed down through three generations; the person passes, but the Crystal remains.
Spiritual Crystals replaced Spiritual Food and also made Spiritual Food obsolete.
Breeders who study making Spiritual Food now are the unlucky ones; just as they learn it, before they can even use it, Spiritual Food is phased out by the new technology, forcing them to re-learn the craft of Spiritual Crystals.
Since the Breeder classes were useless to him, he wouldn't waste time staying at school.
"Applying for a leave of absence? A leave of absence is too hard to get approved; I'll apply for home study instead."
Studying at home is common in schools. Many students from Aristocratic Families finish previewing all the High School material before they even start, making attending school largely unnecessary for them; they only need to come to school for campus competitions or exams.
"Teacher, I want to apply for home study."
The teacher didn't pay much attention and agreed. Many people applied to him today, and he wished more would apply; fewer students meant less management hassle. The good grades of students studying at home still counted towards his performance metrics.
Li Cunxu also requested the afternoon off, left the School Gate, hailed a Share Bicycle, and slowly rode toward the location where Chen Xi was sending him a ranch.
Halfway there, Li Cunxu saw the police station by the roadside and suddenly remembered an important oversight regarding burying his Younger Sister.
As an older brother, not reporting his Younger Sister missing was abnormal.
Even if the Mysterious Person didn't bother him, the police would, listing him as the primary suspect in his Younger Sister's disappearance, since not reporting it was contrary to normal human behavior.
Li Cunxu immediately decided to report it. Reporting it would not only eliminate the oversight but also create a diversion, misleading the Mysterious Person into thinking Li Anle had been kidnapped.
He parked the Share Bicycle and walked into the police station.
Officer Lin, behind the counter, asked, "What can I help you with?"
Li Cunxu said, "My Younger Sister is missing."
Upon hearing this, Officer Lin immediately became serious.
"When did your Younger Sister go missing?"
"Last night. When I got home, I saw her lying in bed. In the time it took me to go to the kitchen to make some food, she was gone."
"Is it possible she went to a relative's house to play?"
"No possibility. My Younger Sister is paralyzed."
"What is your Younger Sister's name?"
"Li Anle."
"How old is she?"
"Thirteen this year."
"Do you have a photo of her?"
Li Cunxu took out a photo of his Younger Sister from his phone.
Officer Lin looked at the photo on the phone, then looked at Li Cunxu.
"Cousin?"
"Biological sister."
"A biological sister from different fathers and mothers?"
"A biological sister from the same father and mother," Li Cunxu replied, his face darkening.
Officer Lin stared at the photo and pondered, "They don't look alike!"
Li Anle looked like an unparalleled beauty, while Li Cunxu, though not bad-looking and refined, appeared somewhat frail.
But comparing their Appearances, the difference was clear: one looked like a princess of an emperor, the other like a beggar under the emperor's rule.
Actually, Li Anle didn't look like this before; it was only after being eroded by the power of the Four Gods that she became increasingly beautiful and devastatingly alluring.
The police asked many detailed questions, and after finishing, Officer Lin went to Li Cunxu's home to investigate.
Seeing Officer Lin's serious and responsible demeanor, Li Cunxu felt a pang of guilt.
Officer Lin summoned a Long-Eared Hunting Hound and said, "Sandy, smell the scent of the girl left in this room."
"Sandy, can you track the girl's scent?"
The Long-Eared Hunting Hound sniffed its way to the doorway, shook its head, and then pointed toward a small puddle by the roadside.
Officer Lin muttered to herself, "Cannot track. Did last night's heavy rain wash the scent away?"
Officer Lin searched the room for clues again, pausing thoughtfully in front of the Raincoat.
"It rained heavily last night; did you go out?"
"Since my Younger Sister was missing, naturally, I went out to search for her."
"Your Younger Sister went missing last night, so why are you only reporting it at noon today?"
"I didn't sleep all night searching for my sister. I was completely disoriented. I took leave at noon to come back, and only when I passed the police station did I remember to report it."
After speaking, Li Cunxu sneezed and quickly took a cold medicine pill.
Li Cunxu's explanation was perfect, yet for some reason, Officer Lin felt this older brother was highly suspicious.
Officer Lin patted Li Cunxu's shoulder, "Don't worry, the police will definitely help you find your sister. Do you have any of your sister's commonly used items? I need to take one back for divination and positioning."
As Officer Lin spoke, she stared intently at Li Cunxu's Eyes, but she couldn't detect any sign of impropriety.
