The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 124
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 124
Taxis drove out of the lower city and into the downtown area where most of the commercial resources and the rich gathered.
Su Ping rarely came to this place where everything seemed clean and tidy. Inevitably he looked at all the random passers-by, all of whom looked like millionaires with soft, silky skin who had never done any physical work. Although he was convinced that being a millionaire meant nothing there. Rather, it was an initial level requirement to be called a citizen of a city.
Then he thought of his home in a somber mood. There is no denying that people are born different, while most of them will remain at the same level for the rest of their lives.
He doesn't care. As someone who knew what it was like to die, those superficial things meant nothing to him.
A moment later, the driver parked his vehicle at the entrance of the quiet community district. It is one of the most expensive residential areas as its design helps its residents enjoy a peaceful lifestyle, although some of the busiest roads are in the vicinity.
The taxi fare is 1,802 Yuan, which is pretty crazy by normal standards. Although it was willing to how else because the trip had to go through several expensive toll road checkpoints before entering the city center.
Su Ping checked the name of the community before going inside, but he was stopped by some guards.
“What do you want?” a middle-aged security guard asked him while tilting his head slightly, as if Su Ping was carrying some sort of unpleasant smell. The guards recognized him as “sampah” as he got off the car.
Su Ping did not look dirty as far as his appearance was concerned. Although it was written at the core of “rich citizens” that they should discriminate against lesser civilians.
Su Ping was not happy to receive such treatment even though he would not waste time arguing. He only told the guards that someone had invited him.
While doubting his words, the guards verified his claim and called his customers, who immediately told them to let Su Ping in, which left them confused. As they believed, only the richest people or their families could live there.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kuang immediately went to the entrance of the building to wait for his tutor. He would have gone to the gate to greet Su Ping himself if not for the size of this district.
Excited, he saw the guards coming, and was surprised to see who was being escorted.
That can't be my tutor, can it? Maybe it's his assistant or something.
That would be very disappointing. But it's inevitable. Many degree tutors tend to be suddenly busy and ask their helpers to do their job.
“This is it,” a guard politely shows the way to Su Ping. “Master Xu, this is the man who asked to meet you.”
Xu Kuang forced a smile and told the guards to leave, before greeting Su Ping as decently as possible. “Are you his student
or...?”
“I ‘Longjiang Cool Dude’.” Su Ping smiled back and bowed slightly.
Xu Kuang was too surprised to speak for a moment.
“You—it-wait, what? Longjiang Cool Dude, Sir? ”
“Yes. Xu Kuang, isn't he? I'm reading your info and how you used a bunch of Life-Corpse-type Astral Pets. I happen to be a bit expert about these creatures, so here I am. ”
Xu Kuang's cheeks flushed in anger. “Is this some kind of joke?? Teach me? You guys? How can you pass the registration? Oh I know, you haven't been screened! Well, I'll report you now!”
Su Ping knew that his youthful appearance would get him into trouble, but not to that extent.
“You can't say for sure until we try it, right? You are free to report me if my lesson does not work.”
“Try? Tried what?? Do you know who I am? I am an upper-class student from Ares Academy. Whoareyou? Huh?!”
Just like his name, Xu Kuang had always been an overconfident elite who had always considered himself better than his peers (1). He still respected those who deserved his recognition, such as the Elite League champions. As for the others, he did not care about them, let alone Su Ping, who looked more common than ordinary people.
Su Ping interrupted Xu Kuang's thoughts. “Be careful with your words, my friend.”
“Well, you can't do anything!” Xu Kuang pulled out his phone. “I'll spare you a blow, loser! I will only report this issue to site-“
The explosion!
His phone exploded, sending some parts of the screen flying towards his face.
Before Xu Kuang could recover from his shock, he felt his body being lifted off the ground; it was a powerful force gripping his collar.
The seemingly useless young man in front of him only raised him with one hand.
Xu Kuang wanted to fight back, but as soon as he saw the merciless killing intent shown in Su Ping's eyes, he felt his entire body freeze in fear.
He had never felt so close to death before. Something tells him that this man will kill him without a second thought.
No matter how he tried, he could not let go of the vice's grip on his neck in the slightest. He wanted to call his pet, but his body felt too cold to do so.
“Do the top-class students from the best academies in the city all like you?” Su Ping asked in a cold voice.
Xu Kuang's entire face turned red again from anger and suffocation.
When Su Ping let go, Xu Kuang managed to stumble back into balance without falling. He shook off the cold sweat from his arm and looked at Su Ping again, only to be reminded of the terrifying experience from a few years ago, when he met the Undead-type Astral Pet for the first time.
It was as if he was looking at another Undead. A very powerful one.
“Come. I don't have much time to waste. If the lesson fails, you can report me everything you want. But if you file a fake report, I'll beat you up.”
Su Ping meant those words, and Xu Kuang knew that.
Xu Kuang suddenly recalled that a teacher at least needed a certificate to register on the website, which meant Su Ping was indeed a teacher. But he still feels bad because “this pet fighter who was given the title” looks younger than himself. Worse, he was the one who spent the money, and he almost got hit.
He considered and decided to play it safe for now. Maybe he can't fight this “Longjiang Cool Dude” directly, but he can always ask for help later.
“Good... Come with me.” Xu Kuang rubbed his sore throat and led the way.
Su Ping was a bit embarrassed because the beginning of their private lessons almost looked like a robbery. Not harm.
A moment later, they arrived at the well-equipped and well-equipped stadium facility in the center of the district. This is another privilege that people can enjoy in this expensive commune.
There were two men and a young woman chatting while resting on a bench; they greeted Xu Kuang as they saw him arrive.
Xu Kuang looked at his schoolmates and replied back. “Sport again?”
One of the students said, “Of course. The league will begin soon. Who wouldn't want to try it?” [1] Kuang “S”, cocky
