That's right; Zhang Lie, that damn Commander of the Forest Wolf Troop, was asking about this matter. The underlying implication was whether or not the active members of the Forest Wolf Troop could join in on the fun.

It seemed that if possible, he, the Commander of the Forest Wolf Troop, would be willing to work for Master Su Da for free during his annual leave.

Even Lin Lei noticed that if Su Ping could make a promise to this bastard, Zhang Lie would dare to retire on the spot and then go work for Su Ping, this kid.

The reason behind this was none other than the Forest Wolf's breeding.

The power of the Wanmu Wolf had already been witnessed during the previous elite militarized competition.

But still, many were skeptical. For instance, just what was the deal with that final light cannon of the Forest Wolf?

Alas, upon their return, orders and notices were issued forbidding any casual discussion.

And now, having seen the Breeder competition a month ago, they finally understood. The Wanmu Wolves bred under Su Ping's care truly revealed what kind of formidable beasts they were.

Super-Rank Skills?! Heart of the Sun?!

Such temptations! Let alone a mere Regimental Commander like Zhang Lie; even he, a Division Commander, was tempted!

This potential combat power of the Pet Beasts, once bred, could truly be described as taking off!

But at this juncture, who could use their relationship with Su Ping to get close, to see if Master Su Da had the time to breed a Wanmu Wolf with Super-Rank Skills?

The difficulty was high, so high that even Zhang Lie felt embarrassed to call Su Ping directly.

Even though they had a good relationship before and would chat occasionally, after Su Ping became famous, Zhang Lie didn't dare to step forward as much.

For a military man like Zhang Lie, indeed, pride could sometimes be an obstacle.

And now, with Su Ping's base recruiting, that was a different matter. If there was a suitable reason or opportunity to further their relationship, no one would refuse.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, whether retired or not, everyone wanted to find a chance to go to Su Ping's place, even if just to guard the door. Salary or such was secondary; what was important was the love for the work and the desire to be influenced by the Heart of Woods up close.

"Now, with the news of you recruiting, many members of the Forest Wolf Troop are clamoring to retire and go watch your gate," Lin Lei said jokingly, a smile on his face. "You see, do you think the troubles you've caused me are simple?"

Su Ping was also taken aback, then smiled. "That's not my fault, Uncle Lin, but I understand what you mean. However, the breeding requirements for the Heart of the Sun are vastly different from that of a normal Wanmu Wolf. If you want to breed Wanmu Wolves, I can do that here as well. But to breed the Heart of the Sun, I can't rely solely on myself; the Beast Tamer's Pet Beast also needs to strive to meet the standards."

Su Ping wasn't secretive about it. When it came to breeding Wanmu Wolves, Guan Lili and Li Shu from the Heart of Woods, and perhaps Sun Chaoju, might eventually be able to handle it under his guidance. However, the Heart of the Sun was a different story.

"Oh? Is it convenient to discuss these requirements?" Lin Lei asked.

"It's nothing much," Su Ping replied. "If someone meets the requirements, they can come to me. Consider it a benefit I'm offering, Uncle Lin, for taking care of me for so long. As long as anyone from your Forest Wolf Troop has their Forest Wolf's 'Sunlight Absorption' skill at Perfect Level, they can come to me. And the breeding time will take at least several months."

"This..." Lin Lei could only smile bitterly at this condition. Perfect Level skills. Where could they be so easily attained? Let alone the Sunlight Absorption skill.

But since Su Ping had said so, what else could he do? He nodded. "Alright, thank you very much then. We'll consider our Forest Wolf Troop to have benefited from your kindness. About the retirees you mentioned, how many do you need?"

"About twenty should do, roughly at the Commander Level," Su Ping said. "They don't all have to be from the Forest Wolf Troop. Later on, some other Wolf Pets will come to the Heart of Woods, so as long as they are from the War Wolf Division, it will be fine."

The Commander Level, a Beast Tamer rank, was neither too rare nor too common.

"No problem," Lin Lei declared. "But the New Year is in a couple of days, so now isn't the right time. After the New Year, I'll have them report to you! Use them with confidence, and if there's any issue, come straight to me! If they don't obey, you still come to me; I'll help you break their legs."

Lin Lei seemed very generous and was quite confident in those who were retiring. He didn't even ask Su Ping about salary. Although their interactions had been limited, Lin Lei was very clear about Su Ping's character. He didn't need to worry about wages.

「The call ended.」

With one less thing on his mind, Su Ping let out a long sigh of relief. Next, I just have to wait until after the New Year for work to begin at... no, it's the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

However, a series of message notifications, as if coordinated for the approaching New Year, began to arrive. Soon enough, another text message and a link came through.

It was from none other than Dong Muyun.

The message was straightforward: [Yin Yin went live, and the advertisement has officially started. Formal online pre-orders and sales will begin at 00:00 on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Here's the link:...]
