However, Dong Muyun, Su Ping, and the others didn't play many games themselves. It was normal for them to have little understanding of this aspect.

So, after some thought, Su Ping didn't rush back to the Undead Basement to continue perfecting the final cultivation of the Earth's Heart with Master Zhu Hong.

Instead, he went to the Heart of Woods cultivation forest.

Li Shu had been performing well during this time. In fact, aside from the hardly challenging Magic Potion cultivation, he could already start trying his hand at cultivating the Forest Wolf and the Elf Wolf.

Li Shu and Guan Lili were essentially the main force responsible for handling some basic cultivation customers at Su Ping's place now. At the same time, Su Ping had also begun to pay them a salary. Close relationships were one thing, but finances were another; everyone needed money to live. Teaching was teaching, and learning cultivation was learning. However, working without pay for too long could lead to resentment, which was best avoided.

Su Ping and Dong Muyun couldn't see any further ways to improve the game's concept at this stage. However, Su Ping couldn't yet offer the people at Star Vault Studio a direct experience of the game itself. Therefore, among the people he knew nearby, only Li Shu had done some research in this area.

Under the warm sun, Li Shu sat on a bench in front of the snow-swept forest. His Forest Wolf ran around on the clearing before him, enjoying a rare moment of rest. Li Shu, holding his phone, grinned lewdly, completely ignoring Guan Lili's contemptuous gaze from nearby. He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice Su Ping's arrival.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Su Ping's voice made Li Shu nearly drop his phone. He shot up. "Bro Ping!"

Su Ping wasn't bothered. He picked up Li Shu's phone, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked, "Live streaming? You still watch this stuff?"

Li Shu chuckled. "Bro Ping, guess who the live streamer is?"

Su Ping paused and glanced at Li Shu suspiciously. He knew there were plenty of online celebrities on live streaming platforms, including many genuine Breeders and Beast Tamers. However, the person on Li Shu's screen was a girl.

At that glance, Su Ping paused again. Because this was indeed an acquaintance—none other than Yin Yin, the school belle from their class at the Sixth Cultivation Academy.

"Yin's school belle started live streaming?"

"Yeah, hehe, she only started a few days ago. I stumbled upon her in the new streamers section."

Su Ping glanced at Li Shu, then back at Yin Yin on the screen. She was smiling sweetly and looked lovely. He nodded. "Well, she's actually quite suited for this."

Although it felt a bit like indulging a flatterer's hype, Su Ping had to admit Yin Yin's looks did live up to the title of school belle.

Having been classmates for several years, Su Ping knew a bit about her. She was unwilling to settle for mediocrity, always eager to experience a higher and broader world.

However, on Blue Star, the truly vast world was intrinsically linked to the Pet Beast industry and one's personal strength. Under the prevailing societal class barriers, it was indeed hard for ordinary people to rise.

In fact, Dragon Nation was already working hard to break down these barriers. This could be seen from the upcoming educational reforms.

However, as Dong Muyun had mentioned before, the live streaming and entertainment industries were merely topics for lighthearted banter with Su Ping. Neither she nor Su Ping paid much mind to the personalities who dominated the public eye.

This was true in a world where traditional power was paramount, let alone in this world ruled by 'fist.'

Of course, those who made it to the top typically weren't weak. Some new internet celebrities even crafted personas as genius Breeders or Beast Tamers.

Su Ping watched a bit longer. Yin's school belle, who had been quite proud back in school, now appeared somewhat unpracticed and reserved in front of the camera.

Her streaming style and content were rather lackluster. After all, the world never lacked beautiful women.

Clearly, under such conditions, it would be very difficult for her to achieve a breakthrough. She would most likely become another forgotten casualty in the relentless tide of live streaming.

"By the way, Bro Ping, after you participated in the Cultivation Competition, did Yin's school belle come talk to you?" Li Shu winked.

Su Ping thought for a moment. "I think she congratulated me? I've forgotten. Too many people spoke to me during that time, both acquaintances and strangers."

"Tsk, people in high positions tend to be forgetful, huh? I bet our former classmates are all hoping you'll give them a leg up someday."

Li Shu chuckled, proud of his excellent foresight and for shamelessly latching onto Su Ping—as solid a backer as one could find—which had secured his current position.

Su Ping shot him a sideways glance, ignoring his antics, and said, "Come with me. I have something for you to try. Give me some feedback on it later."

Leading Li Shu to his own room, Su Ping took out one of the Heart of Dreams helmets, explained its function to the baffled Li Shu, and then promptly sent him on his way.

Sitting in his chair, Su Ping couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. Everything he had experienced since leaving campus was vastly different from before. This was the case for Yin's school belle, and perhaps for everyone else too.

Su Ping shook his head gently, not wanting to dwell on such sentimental thoughts.

However, as they were former classmates and had a decent relationship, Su Ping wouldn't mind offering a small opportunity if it arose. For instance, the Pingyun Group advertisement Dong Muyun had mentioned. To him, it was a truly trivial matter, but for some, it could be a life-changing opportunity.

However, before Su Ping could act on this thought, Master Zhu Hong summoned him back to the Undead Basement.

The preparation of the Heart of Elements was nearly complete.
