Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

“This… that… In short, it’s hard to answer,” Li Cunxu mumbled.

Yang Meixin was not satisfied with this answer and snorted coldly.

“Are Winged Slimes so popular?” Li Cunxu asked, puzzled.

“Super popular, okay? It’s the hottest leisure pet right now. Scalpers are selling them for ten thousand each.”

“Ah!”

Li Cunxu was shocked. I sell them for twenty, including ten yuan for shipping. Scalpers sell them for ten thousand, which is five hundred times my price.

“So expensive, surely no one buys them, right?”

“Yes, a lot of people do,” Yang Meixin said. “If they didn’t know the selling price of Winged Slimes was twenty and weren’t willing to be ripped off, scalpers could sell them for even higher prices.”

Spending ten thousand to buy a twenty-yuan Winged Slime, isn't that being a sucker?

Li Cunxu found it hard to understand their thinking.

“Why are Winged Slimes so popular?”

Yang Meixin ticked off the advantages of Winged Slimes one by one.

“Winged Slimes are cute, with a pair of pure white little wings, like little angels.

They are very obedient. Just use spirit food to lure them a few times, and they can obediently understand some simple commands.

They can fly like birds, fulfilling the need for flying pets.

They have no fur, so you don’t have to bother cleaning up shed hair.

They feel good to the touch, their bodies are soft and squishy, and squeezing them is very de-stressing.

They are resistant to hunger, so you don’t have to worry about them starving to death if you forget to feed them.

They are cool. When it’s hot, you can even use their Wind Breath skill as a fan.”

Li Cunxu thought that Winged Slimes did have quite a few advantages, as if they were a perfect pet.

Yang Meixin said, “Don’t you know your Winged Slimes are selling very well? As soon as the 00:01 slots are released, they are snatched up before 00:02, not even half a minute has passed.”

“Didn’t I give you five already? You still want to buy more?”

“Anyway, my family’s courtyard is quite large, so it doesn’t matter if I buy a few more, and I also want to give some to my good sisters.”

“How much should I raise the price?”

“Raise it by ten thousand. Instead of letting the scalpers earn this money, you might as well earn it yourself.”

Selling a Winged Slime that costs almost nothing for ten thousand, Li Cunxu felt a little guilty.

Li Cunxu covered his heart. “Indeed, with my conscience, I’m not suitable for doing business and being a profiteer.”

After thinking for a while, Li Cunxu decided to raise the price of Winged Slimes to two hundred and increase the daily sales quantity to two hundred.

Two hundred minus ten yuan for shipping, multiplied by two hundred, equals thirty-eight thousand earned a day.

As for the cost of breeding potions and sterilization potions, the trash slimes earn him a lot of environmental organization points every day by cleaning up trash. He uses the points to exchange for the breeding potions used by the slimes, so the cost is almost zero.

For sterilization potions, Li Cunxu bought the kind that costs five hundred per bottle, which can be diluted and given to one thousand Winged Slimes for sterilization.

After hearing the price Li Cunxu set, Yang Meixin felt that the price was too low, as if he was looking down on someone.

“Too low. It would have been one thing if I didn’t know before, but now that I know scalpers are selling them for ten thousand, and you’re still selling them for two hundred, you’re really bad at doing business.”

Li Cunxu said, “Because of the quantity limit, it’s a bit of artificial scarcity. The demand for Winged Slimes exceeds the supply, so this artificially high price has appeared. Once the number of Winged Slimes for sale increases, the price will return to a normal level.”

Setting the price at two hundred, one is because Li Cunxu’s conscience wouldn’t allow it, and two is because he couldn’t handle such a large profit on his own.

This is a world where strength speaks. No matter how much money you earn, if you don’t have the strength to protect it, it’s just fleeting wealth.

Plus, Li Cunxu had just looted a resource point of the Blood God Sect. He was now rolling in money. What he lacked wasn’t money, but time to develop in secret.

Li Cunxu asked, “Do you want to raise Winged Slimes?”

Yang Meixin said, “What do you mean?”

“I want to find someone to jointly run a Winged Slime breeding farm.”

“Why are you looking for me? You and I aren’t too familiar.”

“After fighting you twice, I felt from the pet battles that you are someone I can trust,”

Li Cunxu said seriously.

Hearing this, Yang Meixin’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she waved her hand.

“You’re exaggerating too much.”

In fact, Li Cunxu felt in the battle that Yang Meixin was a very simple person.

She couldn’t hit the high-flying Shadow Raven, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that she could attack the beastmaster himself. How could such a person not be simple?

Yang Meixin said with some hesitation, “I also want to run a Winged Slime breeding farm with you, but I’m busy training my pets and don’t have time to manage the breeding farm.”

Li Cunxu said, “For the breeding farm, you can have your family send someone to manage it on your behalf.”

“Can that work?”

“It can work. As a core member of the family, the family won’t refuse such a small matter as sending someone to manage the breeding farm. And think about it, as long as you open a Winged Slime breeding farm, you can have as many Winged Slimes as you want in the future. You can have them form a flying bed for you. When the time comes, you can lie on it and they’ll take you flying. Sitting on a flying bed is really awesome.”

“Flying bed, come here.”

Li Cunxu snapped his fingers, and a group of Winged Slimes flew over. Among them, the Winged Slime with the same-species fusion talent activated the fusion, forming a super-large Winged Slime.

“Wow! Cool!”

Yang Meixin hugged the super-large Winged Slime, buried her head in it, and took a deep breath, looking like a patient addicted to cats.

Li Cunxu demonstrated the wonderful use of the super-large Winged Slime, sitting cross-legged on the head of the super-large Winged Slime, and the super-large Winged Slime took him on a low-altitude flight.

Yang Meixin murmured, “I want to play too, I want to play too.”

Li Cunxu gave her the position. Yang Meixin experienced it for a while, took a photo of herself and the super-large Winged Slime flying in the air, and posted it on her Moments.

【A day of flying with the super-large Winged Slime, awesome!】

Soon, she received envious comments from her little sisters.

“So big, so cute, I want one too.”

“Want, want to sit, envious, envious, envious!”

“Meixin, where did you buy the super-large Winged Slime? I want to buy one too.”

“I’ll spend five hundred thousand, no, five million to buy your super-large Winged Slime.”

…

After taking a ride, Yang Meixin immediately agreed to Li Cunxu’s proposal to jointly run the Winged Slime breeding farm, fearing that if she agreed too slowly, Li Cunxu would regret it.

Yang Meixin was responsible for the land, construction, and management of the breeding farm, while Li Cunxu was only responsible for providing Winged Slimes.

The money earned from selling Winged Slimes would be split in half.

Why did Li Cunxu want to find someone to run the breeding farm and then split half of the money he earned from selling Winged Slimes?

Because Li Cunxu wanted to borrow the tiger’s skin to flaunt his power.

At first, Li Cunxu thought that selling for two hundred wouldn’t attract envy, but he realized that he had simplified things. He sold at a low price, but the scalpers would sell at a high price. In this way, someone would still be envious of the profits from Winged Slimes and have ulterior motives.

Although he concealed the address of the shop, those who were determined could still find it out through the shipping traces.
