Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Shameless

Find a ranch owner who understands the talent of Fertile Pasture, and ask to rent the ranch from him. The ranch owner will gladly agree and give Li Cunxu thirty percent of the ranch’s revenue. Why? Simply because having the Fertile Pasture talent running idly on his ranch can bring greater profits.

And Stone Golden Soup? Forget about profit sharing, not even a single reward is acceptable.

Li Cunxu realized that this guy wanted to exploit his talent for free and even expected him to be grateful for lending the ranch to hone his talent.

Luckily, he asked one more question, otherwise, he would have been tricked.

Damn, he was disgusted by him.

Swear at him? No need, words don’t work on someone who can shamelessly say such things, berating him is just a waste of breath.

Such a person doesn’t even deserve to be scolded by me.

In the future, once I grow stronger, I’ll just put a sack over him and beat him up.

“You should let someone else have this chance!” Li Cunxu said with a pout.

“What kind of attitude is this?” Stone Golden Soup said displeased, “The principal is giving you an opportunity to train, and you don’t even know how to be grateful.”

“Don’t want the ranch, whoever wants it can take it.”

Li Cunxu was afraid he couldn’t hold back from swearing, and the scene would be hard to clean up.

He went to the assigned breeder class, and looking at the books piling up like a small mountain, Li Cunxu’s head started to ache. This was just for one semester.

Half of them were about the habits of pets and how to get along with them correctly, and the other half were about how to make Spiritual Food.

Spiritual Food, food made by breeders for pets, different Spiritual Food has different effects. Some can enhance a pet’s strength, while others can enhance their speed…

After a morning of breeder classes, Li Cunxu found that the breeder course was useless to him.

For the class on pet habits, in his previous life, he was after all an experienced player with forty years of gaming experience, and he knew more about pet habits than the teacher on the platform.

As for the class on making Spiritual Food.

Making Spiritual Food requires precise control, one wrong step, and a bowl of Spiritual Food could turn into a bowl of deadly dark cuisine.

In his last life, Li Cunxu was bad at manual tasks, unable to handle precise and delicate work, and he ended up failing to learn how to make Spiritual Food.

Whether he is bad at manual tasks in this life is unknown, but even if he isn’t, Li Cunxu does not plan to learn how to make Spiritual Food.

Because in five years, a technological advancement will lead to the creation of pet food far superior to Spiritual Food: Spirit Crystal.

Using the same ingredients, the effect of Spirit Crystal is better than that of Spiritual Food.

The process of making Spiritual Food is cumbersome.

The process of making Spirit Crystal is simple.

The shelf life of Spiritual Food is short, one day to one month.

The shelf life of Spirit Crystal is long, one year to several hundred years.

When properly stored, Spirit Crystal can last several hundred years, as the saying goes, one crystal can last three generations, as people go by, the crystal remains.

Spirit Crystal replaced Spiritual Food and also phased it out.

Now, breeders who are learning how to make Spiritual Food are unlucky. As soon as they learn it and are ready to use it, Spiritual Food is phased out by new technology, forcing them to relearn the Spirit Crystal craft.

Since breeder classes were useless to him, he didn’t waste time staying in school.

“Apply for a leave of absence? That’s too hard; better apply for home study.”

Studying at home is common in schools. Many students from prominent families have learned all the high school knowledge before even entering high school. For them, attending school is not necessary, only showing up for internal competitions or exams.

“Teacher, I want to apply for home study.”

The teacher didn’t mind and agreed. Many people applied to him today, and he wished more people would apply. With fewer students, management would be easier, and the good results of home-studying students would still count towards his performance.

Li Cunxu conveniently took the afternoon off, left the school, and rented a shared bike, riding leisurely towards the ranch Chen Xi had prepared for him.

On the way, Li Cunxu saw a police station by the road and suddenly remembered an important oversight regarding his missing sister.

As an older brother, if a sister goes missing and he doesn’t report it, that isn’t normal.

Even if the mysterious person doesn’t trouble him, the police will, listing him as the prime suspect in his sister’s disappearance. After all, a missing sister without a police report doesn’t align with normal behavior.

Li Cunxu immediately decided to report it to the police. Reporting not only addresses the oversight but also creates a misdirection, confusing the mysterious person into thinking Li Anle was abducted.

He parked the shared bike and walked into the police station.

Officer Lin behind the desk asked, “What can I do for you?”

Li Cunxu said, “My sister is missing.”

Upon hearing this, Officer Lin immediately became serious.

“When did your sister go missing?”

“Last night, I saw her lying in bed when I got home. When I went to the kitchen to cook, she was gone.”

“Is it possible she went to a relative’s house to play?”

“That’s not possible, my sister is paralyzed.”

“What’s your sister’s name?”

“Li Anle.”

“How old is she?”

“She’s thirteen this year.”

“Do you have a photo of her?”

Li Cunxu showed a photo of his sister on his phone.

Officer Lin looked at the photo and then at Li Cunxu.

“Your cousin?”

“My sister.”

“Biological sister from different parents?”

“Biological sister from the same parents.” Li Cunxu replied with a weary expression.

Officer Lin stared at the photo, pondering, “They don’t look alike!”

Li Anle looks like a stunning little beauty, while Li Cunxu? He has a decent complexion, a delicate appearance, but slightly looks weak.

But when comparing their looks, the difference becomes apparent—a princess under an emperor and a beggar under the emperor’s realm.

Actually, Li Anle didn’t always look like this; it was only after being corroded by the power of the four gods that she became more beautiful and devastatingly attractive.

The police asked many detailed questions, and after questioning, Officer Lin went to Li Cunxu’s house to investigate.

Seeing Officer Lin’s serious and responsible demeanor, Li Cunxu couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.

Officer Lin summoned a long-eared 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 hound sniffed its way to the doorway, shook its head, and then pointed to a small puddle by the roadside.

Officer Lin murmured, “Couldn’t track it because the heavy rain washed away the scent last night?”

Officer Lin continued searching for clues in the room, pausing thoughtfully before the raincoat.

“Did you go out in the heavy rain last night?”

“My sister was lost; naturally, I had to go out looking for her.”

“Your sister went missing last night, so why report it only by noon today?”

“I didn’t sleep all night searching for her, was completely out of it, and only remembered to report it when I passed by the station at noon.”

After saying this, Li Cunxu sneezed and quickly took a cold medicine.

Li Cunxu’s explanation was flawless, yet for some reason, Officer Lin still felt the brother was 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 regular items? I’ll take them back for divination and locating.”

While speaking, Officer Lin stared intently into Li Cunxu’s eyes but didn’t see any hint of deceit.
