The Astral Pet Store

Astral Pet Store – Chapter 102
“Liga Elite Pet Warrior, yes?” Su Ping was too focused on his shop to know such a thing.
He had heard of this league before. It was a joint effort of 286 base cities around the world, which would send representatives under the age of 28 and rank seventh to participate. In other words, older people and advanced battlefighters of the seventh rank or higher were unable to compete.
Most of the participants were students and graduates from renowned schools, or settlers who had spent several years exploring the barren areas. Those eligible to join the league must pass an allowance held in their city. Each city would send five qualifiers to the continent elimination matches which would continue until five winners for each remaining continent.
Lastly, five champions from each continent will enter the final round where it will be determined the world champions.
The league is held once every three years. More than half of the planet's population will lock themselves in and stay glued to their TVs.
All TV stations and media will ensure they live stream league events 24/7. Meanwhile, other movie channels and broadcasters will stop their activities because they will not get many viewers during the period.
For most people, showing their face in the city preliminaries was already an honor, knowing that it was usually the elites and the children of wealthy families who would occupy better positions in the ranking list.
As for the people who made it through the continental matches.
To be world champion is to be Number One, beating billions of people. Throughout history, these world champions will die from oppressive responsibilities, or become legendary battle pet warriors who protect their land as true heroes.
“You mean, you want to help Ye Hao and Su Yanying reach the championship?” Su Ping wondered. “It... impossible. Without any intention of offending.”
Dong Mingsong was startled by those words. “Vehicle? No no No. No. I'm not crazy. I just want them to learn and improve, that's all. They may be lucky enough to be placed in the top thousands across the city and gain experience for the next league three years later.
As the Vice Principal, Dong Mingsong knew for sure that Ye Hao and Su Yanying were not the only outstanding geniuses the academy offered. The other schools out there might surprise them if they were not careful. Moreover, the spotlight would most likely be taken by a rank six battle pet warrior who had gained a lot of combat experience during the barren area expedition. Regular students cannot compete with them.
Su Ping nodded in agreement. For Su Yanying and Ye Hao, the league six years later should be their main stage. Getting experience is more important than winning in the short term.
He looked at Dong Mingsong again and silently admired the old man's vast vision. A moment before, he had thought Dong Mingsong was just a savvy businessman who valued profits more than the well-being of students. Allegedly missed.
“So so. What compensation do I get for teaching them? ”
Dong Mingsong shook his head with a smile. “Thousand credits professor.”
“Credit?” Su Ping knew of such a thing when he signed the agreement. Just like achievement points, he could use credit to exchange for skill books and resources from the academy's storage.
“Thousand is not much, is it?” he asked, not satisfied.
Dong Mingsong's lips twitched. “It was only for two extra lessons at most. A thousand is not bad! ”
Luo Guxue helped out by saying, “Deputy Principal is right. Our advanced teachers are usually paid as much as a monthly salary. This is a good overtime wage.”
“OK.. I guess.” Su Ping nodded.
Dong Mingsong wanted to leave, but stopped when she suddenly realized Su Ping's young appearance.
Wait for. This boy can also take part in the match. According to Miss Luo, she was alone dealing with a rank eight Magical Beast. It was much better than Ye Hao and Su Yanying
Luo Guxue looked at Dong Mingsong's strange expression; he examined Su Ping, and also realized what was going on.
“Hey, collect, you two.” Su Ping started to feel uncomfortable with their long gazes. “I know I look amazing, but you don't have to stare like that.”
Dong Mingsong recovered first. “Ehem. The preliminary round is just a few days away. Aren't you going to prepare, Master Su? ”
If that was the case, the academy would not urge Su Ping to teach. It's going to be the opposite.
“Preparation for what? I will not enter the league,” said Su Ping.
“You're not??” Dong Mingsong failed to remain calm this time. “Why did you let such a great opportunity go to waste? You have the skills to enter the top five cities! Or big three, if everything goes well!”
Dong Mingsong had watched many matches in his career and knew the extent of the battle. He believed Su Ping could easily become a qualifying player, if not a champion in their base city.
“No, I'm not interested.” Su Ping shook his head. He is not lying or too humble. In fact, he doesn't care about the league at all. Being a world champion only meant he could learn under the legendary boxer in the end, which was not so exciting.
“Chaos Star Chart” he received from the system was enough as a training technique. Moreover, he had seen his fair share of deadly opponents in all kinds of ancient planes. Legendary fighting pet warriors would only become helpless prey if they went there. Being legendary is no big deal.
He might as well take the time to train some powerful pets and gain more energy points, before using the points to obtain the Beast King if he could. At that time, he would automatically become another legendary battle pet warrior.
Dong Mingsong gaped as Su Ping rejected the offer so quickly.
“But...Let's say, are you already a seventh-level battle pet warrior of the seventh rank? If that's the case, you can only go to the Supremacy League after that. ”
The Supremacy League was more brutal as anyone below the rank of legendary fighting pet warriors could participate. Anyone who could win in the preliminary round was at least a rank nine battle pet warrior.
Su Ping shook his head. “I'm not proficient.”
Being an eighth ranker, Dong Mingsong could easily scan Su Ping's astral strength, even though he didn't do so because it would be offensive. Moreover, he did not believe Su Ping could reach the advanced stages as a teenager, even though he had proven to be extremely brilliant. “Why not join the elite league then?” Dong Mingsong insisted, “You don't want to use your skills?”. “Simple only, really. I was too lazy to go through all that hassle. That's it.”
Are all geniuses strange characters like him?? Dong Mingsong almost covered her face. “Eh, well, just friendly advice: You don't often find this opportunity in life. Please think!”
Su Ping did not want to waste any time so he changed the subject. “You bought pet food while you are here?”
Dong Mingsong choked after hearing that. Does this brat sell pet food when there is more important business to do?? Hey wait a minute…
He checked several price tags; the lowest was a few hundred coins for a small cup.
Pet Food? This is just as expensive as a low-ranking pet!
