Lin Chuan won the match.
Sun Yinyin, on the other hand, had a complicated, uncomfortable expression, somewhat like constipation; she kept wanting to speak but stopping, then wanting to speak again.
Finally, when shaking hands with Lin Chuan after the match to show respect, she asked:
“Is your Flower Leaf Leaf… legal?”
Lin Chuan: “…”
“Are you trying to say that my Flower Leaf Leaf is full of stimulants and not a single drop of water?”
Lin Chuan asked with a smile.
“No!”
Sun Yinyin shook her head, her face serious and earnest.
“I want to say, your Flower Leaf Leaf is full of milk! When you bred it, all the nutrients you used were various dairy products, right? How can there be a Flower Leaf Leaf with such a perverted and disgusting recovery ability?”
Gritting her teeth and speaking in a sarcastic tone, Sun Yinyin said.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan also showed a bright, proud, and confident smile, and chuckled as he cast a sidelong glance at Sun Yinyin.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean by perverted and disgusting? It’s clearly adorable!”
Sun Yinyin gave him a look that said, “I don’t believe a word you say, you young man are so devious and lack martial virtue.”
Immediately, Sun Yinyin’s expression became serious, no longer joking.
“Lin Chuan, are there any Flower Leaf Leaves at your farm suitable for contracting?”
“Yes, I was already planning to contract a second Spirit Beast, and after fighting with you, I feel even more that Flower Leaf Leaf is a very good choice.”
“So, I’d like to ask, does your Lin’s Farm have suitable Flower Leaf Leaves? Can you allow me to contract one here at your farm?”
“Don’t worry, I will handle all the necessary procedures! Absolutely legal and compliant!”
“Moreover, I will apply for the contract at a 50% higher price than the normal price for contracting a Soldier Tier Middle Level Spirit Beast at a breeding base.”
Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Sun Yinyin to actually want to contract a Flower Leaf Leaf as her second Spirit Beast.
Was the advertising effect of this match so good?
Collecting his thoughts, Lin Chuan nodded slightly, feeling happy for his old man in his heart.
If more Beast Masters like Sun Yinyin specifically came to contract Flower Leaf Leaves from Lin’s Farm, then upgrading Lin’s Farm to a Hua Ye Ye Breeding Base would be very easy; they might not even need to actively apply. The Star Rock Federation officials would send people to talk to the old man, offering various preferential treatments and financial and technical assistance, persuading him to upgrade Lin’s Farm to a Hua Ye Ye Breeding Base. After all, in this world, Beast Master-related industries are truly valuable, and a Hua Ye Ye Breeding Base is much more useful to the country than an ordinary farm.
“Flower Leaf Leaves suitable for contracting, huh.”
Lin Chuan pondered; he was only responsible for taking care of a small portion of the Flower Leaf Leaves, with most still being cared for by the old man. However, he occasionally glanced at them and knew some of the situation.
“Currently, there aren’t any, but in half a month, there will be about 3 Flower Leaf Leaves that will have passed their juvenile period and entered the rapid growth period suitable for contracting and cultivation.”
“As for whether you can be allowed to contract one, you’ll have to discuss that with my old man.”
“Well, as long as your application process is fine and you have the notarized seal from the Beastmaster Association, the old man should be very happy for you to come to Lin’s Farm to contract a Flower Leaf Leaf here.”
Hearing this, Sun Yinyin nodded slightly, revealing an expectant smile, and even began to unconsciously imagine that her contracted Flower Leaf Leaf, Er Yin, could also be like Lin Chuan’s Flower Leaf Leaf, a super-sized cup!
And that it could be like this battle, where the opponent’s attacks couldn’t keep up with her own recovery, slowly and disgustingly wearing the opponent down.
Just thinking about such a scene, Sun Yinyin’s lips curled up unconsciously. “Hmm, yes, how can there be such an adorable Spirit Beast as Flower Leaf Leaf?”
“Half a month? Okay, then I’ll wait half a month.”
Originally, Sun Yinyin planned to go to Qinghe City, the superior city of Tianshang Town, to develop after this Hua Ye Ye Cup. The resources there would be richer, and she could also participate in large Baby Cups to earn more money to further cultivate Da Yin.
Now, she decided to continue developing in Tianshang Town for half a month, waiting to contract her Er Yin before going to Qinghe City. As for Da Yin, there was no rush; her current funds were sufficient for this period of cultivation.
The brief chat ended.
Lin Chuan and Sun Yinyin each left the arena.
The next match quickly began.
However, many spectators left, as there was basically nothing left to see in the subsequent matches.
With the early final between Lin Chuan and Sun Yinyin, the two championship contenders, already over, the rest were just weaklings pecking at each other. There was nothing good to see in tomorrow’s matches either. Even Sun Yinyin’s Golden Silk Werewolf couldn’t defeat Lin Chuan’s Flower Leaf Leaf, let alone the Spirit Beasts of the other contestants. Even if Lin Chuan’s Flower Leaf Leaf stood still, just its Rooting skill alone would make other Beast Masters’ Spirit Beasts fight until they collapsed from exhaustion.
The champion of this Baby Cup had already been decided at the moment this match ended.
And indeed, events unfolded exactly as everyone had predicted.
The third day of the Hua Ye Ye Cup.
The remaining 3 contestants drew lots on site to determine the match order, proceeding with a round-robin format: 1 vs 2, 2 vs 3, 1 vs 3.
Lin Chuan drew lot number 2.
Since there were two matches, Lin Chuan didn’t show favoritism; he let Guoguo and Sakura appear separately to face the contestants with lots 1 and 3.
The contestant with lot number 1 was a tall boy named Zheng YaHong, from the 3rd Beast Master Middle School. His Spirit Beast was a Woolly Ox, about one meter tall, a small calf covered in fluffy fur, with particularly thick limbs, Earth-attributed, and Soldier Tier Middle Level.
The contestant with lot number 3 was a girl with delicate features, giving off a gentle, refined aura, named Meng Ya, from the 4th Beast Master Middle School. Her Spirit Beast was a Spotted Mouse, a very cute Spirit Beast, resembling a large hamster, 30 centimeters tall, with round spots on its body, Rock-attributed, which is a superior special attribute to Earth-attributed, and its bloodline was Soldier Tier Upper Level.
Lin Chuan had some impression of this Meng Ya, not because she was pretty and refined, but because of her Spirit Beast, the Spotted Mouse.
The day before yesterday, Tian Qi, the girl with outstanding communication and command ability with her Spirit Beast, was defeated by Meng Ya. Tian Qi’s Little Snow Rabbit, with all its fancy maneuvers and dodging, unfortunately had too soft a head and was simply knocked unconscious by Meng Ya’s Spotted Mouse’s headbutt.
Both Zheng YaHong and Meng Ya were considered relatively excellent among new Beast Masters.
However, they were still a bit weaker than Sun Yinyin, and even Ping Kai, not to mention Lin Chuan.
In the two battles,
Lin Chuan only let Guoguo and Sakura use one skill, Rooting, in a single-segment tank mode.
And that made Zheng YaHong and Meng Ya go through an indescribable emotional journey.
At first, they were subtly unconvinced, not believing they were inferior to Sun Yinyin.
Even if Sun Yinyin’s Golden Silk Werewolf couldn’t win, their Spirit Beasts might not be unable to win.
Then, their emotions went through excitement, to worry, to numbness, to disgust, and finally to despair.
They watched as their Spirit Beasts attacked relentlessly; even if they knocked Flower Leaf Leaf flying or toppled it, Lin Chuan’s Flower Leaf Leaf would casually get up, dust itself off, take a deep breath, and instantly be fully healed.
Their Spirit Beasts grew more and more tired, more and more strained, eventually panting with their tongues out and eyes rolling back.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan’s Flower Leaf Leaf became increasingly energetic.
Finally, both Zheng YaHong and Meng Ya gnashed their teeth and uttered, “How can there be such a perverted and disgusting Spirit Beast as Flower Leaf Leaf,” and then promptly surrendered.
Lin Chuan easily won the championship.
The competition for second and third place was brutal; it seemed they unleashed all the pent-up anger and frustration from being disgusted by Lin Chuan’s Flower Leaf Leaf onto each other. Zheng YaHong and Meng Ya fought fiercely.
In the end, Meng Ya’s Spotted Mouse, not yet reaching Tier 1, lacked the pure physical strength of the Woolly Ox and was battered into defeat by brute force. Crucially, Meng Ya’s Spotted Mouse also sustained considerable injuries, requiring three or four days of careful recuperation. For Meng Ya, even though she won third place and received 100,000 star rock coin in prize money, it was hard to say whether it was a gain or a loss.
Well, these matters were irrelevant to Lin Chuan.
As the sun set, Lin Chuan endured the final closing ceremony of the Hua Ye Ye Cup and finally received his championship prize money.
The 400,000 star rock coin championship prize was directly deposited into Lin Chuan’s Beast Master account.
Additionally, there was a silk banner and a small glass trophy. The banner read “Lin’s Farm Hua Ye Ye Cup Champion,” and the small glass trophy was shaped like a Flower Leaf Leaf.
Well, these weren’t the main point.
The crucial part was! The old man’s previous promise.
If the Hua Ye Ye Cup went smoothly, he would give him 30% of the farm’s total income during the three days of the Hua Ye Ye Cup. If it went even better, he would give a larger share.
Unfortunately, although the Hua Ye Ye Cup was more appealing than other small Baby Cups, it didn’t attract reporters or streamers. So, it could only be rated as good, not excellent. Lin Chuan could only get a 30% share.
The old man didn’t renege on his promise and promptly transferred 1.8 million star rock coin to Lin Chuan’s Beast Master account.
30% was 1.8 million? Good heavens!
In other words, in just these three days of hosting the Hua Ye Ye Cup, Lin’s Farm earned a full 6 million?
Is money that easy to earn?
Lin Chuan couldn’t help but want to host a few more Baby Cup rookie Beast Master competitions. Unfortunately, individuals cannot host Baby Cups, and each qualified unit can only host one Baby Cup per year at most.
Without further overthinking, Lin Chuan checked the money in his Beast Master account.
400,000 in prize money, 1.8 million in dividends, plus the money he already had remaining, rounding off the change, totaled 2.33 million star rock coin! That’s right!
2.33 million star rock coin, Lin Chuan pondered, thinking about how to spend this money and how to invest it for the best cost-effectiveness.
If he took the most extreme pay-to-win route, buying the best and most expensive resources, striving for perfection, nitpicking every detail, 2.33 million star rock coin, though a lot, wouldn’t last long; it would be far from enough.
But if he only bought resources one tier lower, given Guoguo and Sakura’s situation, it would be more than enough for a month. For the remaining month and a half, he could participate in other Baby Cups or find other ways to earn money, so there was no need to rush.
Hmm, there’s no need to take the most extreme pay-to-win route. Even if he did, the cost-effectiveness of the investment and return wouldn’t be high. With Flower Leaf Leaf’s Soldier Tier Middle Level bloodline, even with the best and most expensive resources, it might be able to compare with a General Tier Lower Level Spirit Beast, but it definitely wouldn’t be able to compare with Spirit Beasts that are normally cultivated to General Tier Upper Level bloodline.
Moreover, he had a cheat, Reincarnation of Rebirth!
He didn’t plan to use it before the entrance exam.
Although he still couldn’t determine the true extent of the reincarnation’s effect, judging by the name, it would most likely reset the level to zero.
And after the entrance exam, regardless of whether he could get into the Eight Great Academies, he would definitely arrange for Guoguo and Sakura to undergo reincarnation separately to break through their bloodline tier limits.
After reincarnation, he would then provide even better resources. He believed that by then, the money in his Beast Master account would be even more than it was now.
…
In Lin Chuan’s room.
Lin Chuan placed two large red envelopes in front of Guoguo and Sakura respectively.
“We were able to win the championship and the prize money so smoothly this time. You two worked hard.”
“You two never slacked off in your daily training, always following the requirements and pushing yourselves to the limit. That’s very good.”
“I, Lin Chuan, am fair in rewards and punishments!”
“These two red envelopes, each containing 10,000 star rock coin, are your rewards. You can buy anything you like.”
Lin Chuan handed the two red envelopes to Guoguo and Sakura respectively.
The two little ones were stunned for a moment, then instantly overjoyed, hugging the red envelopes and making excited “yi ya yi ya ying ying ying” sounds, rubbing against Lin Chuan adorably, melting his heart.
However, Lin Chuan still managed to compose his expression; his face suddenly became serious.
“Hmm, but, considering you’re still small and don’t understand things yet, to prevent you from spending money recklessly, I’ll keep the red envelopes for you for now. I’ll give them back to you when you grow up.”
Saying this, Lin Chuan extended and opened his hand to Guoguo and Sakura, with an expression that implied they should voluntarily hand them over.
Guoguo and Sakura: ???
They looked at each other, then back at Lin Chuan, Guoguo and Sakura full of question marks.
Although their intelligence was indeed still low, and they didn’t understand too many principles yet, their instincts told them that something was not right!
“What, you don’t trust me?”
Lin Chuan’s expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice.
“Do you suspect I’d be greedy for your little bit of money? Am I that kind of Beast Master?”
“I’m doing this for your own good. You don’t know how many cunning merchants and bad guys are out there now, just waiting to trick little ones like you out of your money. I’ll keep them safe for you, and I’ll return them when you’re a bit older.”
Guoguo and Sakura continued to look at each other.
Although what their master said seemed to make a lot of sense!
Still, something felt off!
Very, very off!
Seeing that Guoguo and Sakura were still hesitating, Lin Chuan knew he had to pull out his ultimate move. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to trick, uh, successfully help them keep the red envelopes, and then they would be tricked by cunning merchants outside.
His eyes flashed, and Lin Chuan took out two small red flowers, cut from red paper, from his pocket.
“After all, I’m not some bad guy.”
“If you’re willing to let me help you keep the red envelopes, then I’ll give you another small red flower!”
“The red envelopes are yours, I’m just temporarily keeping them for you.”
“And the small red flowers are also yours. See, isn’t this a win-win? You win twice!”
Seeing the small red flowers Lin Chuan took out, the two little ones couldn’t help but be drawn to them. Compared to the red envelopes, the small red flowers seemed even prettier and more appealing.
Then, listening to Lin Chuan’s words, Guoguo and Sakura communicated with excited “yi yi ying ying” sounds.
Win!
Win-win!
Win twice!
The two little ones immediately became excited.
“Yi ya yi ya!”
“Ying ying ying ying~!”
The two little ones raised the red envelopes in their chubby hands, eager to exchange them for Lin Chuan’s small red flowers.
“Very good, very good, good little ones~”
“Come, come, give me the red envelopes, and I’ll put the small red flowers on you~”
