Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 180: Crafting the Forest Heart! Su Ping's Botanical Garden!_2


However, after reaping such a bountiful harvest, Su Ping found that such an ordinary botanical garden simply wouldn't do justice to his numerous plant-based Pet Beasts. Even I feel uncomfortable looking at it, he thought.

He was very pleased with the exquisite design of the Heart of Water, so the 'Forest Heart' of this botanical garden naturally can't be handled carelessly either!

Fortunately, at the moment, they had only erected the fences around the barren mountain and the adjacent part of the Heart of Water lake, without actually starting construction. It wasn't too late to make changes.

Take the Longevity Banyan, for instance: a colossal, magnificent tree that formed a forest from a single trunk spreading over a hundred meters. It was simply not suited to be placed alongside various other smaller, low-level plant-based Pet Beasts, let alone some ordinary fruit trees.

Furthermore, creatures like the Longevity Banyan and the King Gunpine didn't enjoy living in groups, preferring some individual space.

Thus, Su Ping glanced up at the night sky, then immediately took out his phone and, making some quick decisions, began placing calls:

"Uncle Guan, get all those designers who've worked with us before from the gardens and bases."

It was just getting dark. Heart of Woods is a rare major client, and as a good client who isn't short on money and has few demands, shouldn't a competent design company be on call whenever needed? Su Ping mused.

And indeed, they were. Upon hearing there was more work, the various groups of designers arrived less than an hour after Su Ping had sat down on the hillside and chatted with these plant-based Pet Beasts that had temporarily taken root there.

They came fully equipped, bringing a plethora of equipment: infrared scanners, mechanical drones, panoramic simulation sand tables, and all sorts of other miscellaneous gear.

In the meantime, Su Ping had, during this time, figured out the demands of the Commander Level Pet Beasts he had brought. Simultaneously, he had organized the classifications of these Pet Beasts recorded by Li Shu.

Including the Life Ancient Tree, there were eleven Pet Beasts at the Advanced Commander Level or higher.

The Life Ancient Tree was easygoing.

The Old Tree had no particular requirements for its living conditions; anything would suffice.

As for the other ten, their demands were quite diverse, truly a case of 'each showing their own special prowess.'

The Sky-reaching Vine was relatively easygoing. Previously, this Sky-reaching Vine, whom the Old Tree called 'Little Vine,' had no special requirements and could even proactively assist with the base's defense, showing great potential to become a model Pet Beast employee for Heart of Woods.

Rouge Powder Peach Blossom Smile preferred to live in places with more flower Pet Beasts, where it could constantly smell its favorite floral scents.

This requirement wasn't difficult to fulfill; in fact, they could even lay out a garden within the 'Forest Heart' centered around the exceptionally beautiful Rouge Powder Peach Blossom Smile.

The King Gunpine's demand was quite interesting: it wanted to stand at the highest point of the botanical garden.

Although this two-hundred-meter-tall tree already resembled a signal tower, it still seemed unsatisfied.

However, the King Gunpine had its own justification. It could perceive the entire base and a vast surrounding area from the highest point on the mountain. If anything happened, it could provide a timely warning.

Regarding this, 'Little Vine,' the Sky-reaching Vine, expressed its dissatisfaction: With me here, what kind of situation could possibly arise?

Nevertheless, Su Ping also acknowledged the King Gunpine's request and its utility.

As for the Longevity Banyan, its needs were also manageable.

It required that, within a one-kilometer radius, apart from the esteemed Life Ancient Tree, there should be no other large plants or plant-based Pet Beasts.

This was understandable, as the Longevity Banyan's ability to form a forest from a single tree made it extremely dominant in competing for sunlight.

But the Longevity Banyan also had its justifications and benefits. Its fallen leaves were an Elite Level resource: 'Longevity Banyan Leaves.'

This was an extremely valuable resource, not only usable in Magic Potion preparation but also directly processable into tea that could extend one's lifespan with regular consumption.

The Longevity Banyan promised to provide Su Ping with ten to twenty kilograms of leaves each month.

Moreover, its vast canopy could provide shade and was highly aesthetically pleasing.

This single Longevity Banyan alone could add great diversity to Su Ping's enterprises.

These Longevity Banyan Leaves could be used for interesting projects; Su Ping didn't need to actively collect and sell them himself, but could allow visiting tourists to interact with them.

Apart from the Longevity Banyan and Rouge Powder Peach Blossom Smile,

the Flame Morning Glory was relatively special. Although its temperament was enthusiastic and generous, it didn't have much output. As a special plant that grew on mountain rocks, it didn't have any particular environmental requirements.

It would just hang on the mountain cliff, purely as an ornamental feature.

It was somewhat like an added bonus.

However, the Flame Morning Glory didn't mind, so Su Ping didn't concern himself with it further.

Besides those, the Blade Ginkgo was a real pain.

It didn't have any specific habitat requirements.

It could even provide ginkgo fruits, another Elite Level resource, 'Iron Apricot Fruit.'

The name 'Iron Apricot Fruit' was quite abstract, but its effects were excellent. As a Metal Element resource, it was very beneficial for these types of Pet Beasts.

However, the price and condition were that it needed to be irrigated with over twenty kilograms of molten iron each day.

To cultivate this thing, they would even need to build a high-temperature forging room.

Of course, overall, it was still worth it, just a bit troublesome.

Then there was the Laurel Tree.

The cultivation requirements of the Laurel Tree weren't difficult.

It didn't want to be exposed to sunlight and needed a shaded area, a place where it could come out at night to bask in the moonlight.
