The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 163
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 163
Su Lingyue showed an uncertain expression when she reunited with her pet, which looked completely different from the one she remembered. Just like any other customer, he would believe that Su Ping took it and gave him another pet if not for the pet contract still in effect.
The Phantom Flame Beast had remained listless in the shop since morning. As soon as seeing Su Lingyue coming, it slipped out of Su Ping hand and bounced into Su Lingyue's embrace, leaving two streams of tears.
“Miaaa!”
Su Lingyue gently stroked her head. He almost asked “what have you done to my pet,” but managed to turn that phrase into something more appropriate.
“Why does it look so... weird?”
Su Ping maintained his poker face. “Your pet acquires three new skills. Illusion Flood, Fire Chain, and Fire Tornado. Find empty spots and test them later so you can get used to the new moves in time. That thing was now good enough to fend off a moderate sixth rank enemy, as long as it remained in top shape. If you can't distinguish monster rank, you should escape. ”
Su Lingyue's mouth slowly opened while listening
“But it—”.
As he remembered from the book, both Flooding Illusion and Fire Tornado were only available to high-level pets. More importantly, Fire Tornado was a quite famous skill with unlimited potential. With enough training and effort, a pet can raise it to the ninth rank. At that time, the Fire Tornado will have a new name, namely Fire Storm. It was a devastating large-scale movement that could wreak havoc like a real storm.
Su Lingyue examined the innocent appearance of Su Ping and did not believe her pet could gain so much experience in a day. But something tells her that her brother isn't lying.
More importantly, his Phantom Flame Beast used to be ranked fourth. It could be against something two ranks higher? Is that possible?
Su Ping immediately prepared his dinner and returned the empty boxes to Su Lingyue. “Go home if you have nothing else to say. Sleep well tonight. You will need a lot of strength. ”
“What-but-it—is everything right??”
“Do you think I would tell such a dangerous joke before you go to the battlefield?”
Su Lingyue frowned.
He's correct. This is not a good time for humor. Giving him false information about his pet on such occasions was almost the same as murder. She could not believe her brother would do such a thing.
But this means that the repair of his pet is correct. Such efficient training was unheard of before. This Phantom Flame Beast might be good enough to defeat the senior champion in the academy at the moment.
“Hei, um, brother?”
“Ya?” “I mean—nothing. Anyway, thank you.”
“No need. You pay.”

Su Lingyue had done her research, talked to her classmates and learned that the training sessions would give the pet a new skill most of the time, or two skills when the pet was very lucky. It was clear that her brother had put in a lot of extra effort in honing his pet.
And he felt grateful from the bottom of his heart.
The shadow of hatred from her brother suddenly became much more adorable in her eyes.
Without a word, he picked up the food box and turned around.
“Wait, I have a message for mom,” Su Ping said and stopped her, “I have to go for a walk tomorrow, so don't worry about feeding me. I'll find a place to eat by myself. No need to wait for me to come back. This business is on the rise, so I will probably spend a few more days there.”
“Hah? You also went somewhere?”
“Ya.” Su Ping took out some money and handed it over. “Give this to him and tell him that we have a stable income now.”
That was 100,000 Federation Coins. Su Ping intended to show his mother the prosperity of the business without arousing too much suspicion. Su Lingyue, however, was not easily convinced when she had witnessed how many customers the store could get in a day. She knew her brother was lying, even though she had no reason to point it out.
Then he thought about the same amount of money he had just spent and suddenly felt heartache. But the sadness was gone once he saw the new look of his Phantom Flame Beast. The money is really valuable. Three powerful skills? He was willing to pay ten times the price if he had that much money.
In fact, they don't. For Su Ping, all the money he earned from customers was converted into energy points, so he could not “pull” and use it elsewhere. He would have to earn extra money in other ways if he wanted to help his family, such as teaching students privately.

Su Lingyue left the shop wanting to search the stadium to immediately try out a new pet skill. Though he managed to suppress that desire because he had to deliver money.
Meanwhile, Su Ping entered the inheritance ground again to continue.
At the end of his session, he found a safe place in the heritage land to sleep. When he woke up and went back to the store, it was only 5 a.m
Someone knocked on the door.
Using his astral perception, Su Ping sensed Ye Chenshan outside.
“Five minutes!”
“Sure, no need to rush,” Ye Chenshan call back.
Su Ping emptied his inventory and stuffed some boxes of food and emergency water into them; he bought them from the store the day before. Although he was aware that a team of professional settlers should have sufficient supplies, he still did so just in case.
He also took out the middle-tier beast-capturing ring that he had kept until this point. It was a rare opportunity. He wanted to catch some useful pets and sell them later if he had the chance.
As for his “team pet”, he decided to bring the four pets with him, including the Little Skeleton, Black Dragon Dog, Hell Dragon, and Purple Python. Their pet contract did allow for long-distance summoning, but he was worried that this would not work if the Mysterious Realm was too far away from his shop.
After everything was done, he opened the door and saw Ye Chenshan smiling at him.
“Great sleep, Mr Su?”
“Yes. Let's go.”
“Certainly certainly.” Ye Chenshan happily showed Su Ping to their car, which looked bigger and more expensive than the SUV used by Fan Yujing last time. The vehicle even had a reinforced outer skeleton that could fend off rifle bullets or attacks carried out by fourth rank monsters or below.
Inside the car, there was a large chest of monster repellents and a high-end tear gas canister. Of all those arrangements, one can say that this car may not be cheaper than a full-fledged attack helicopter.
Thanks to the special plates of the car, they do not have to comply with traffic regulations while traveling
“By the way, Mr. Su, our leader and the others are already getting ready at the base.”
With this, Ye Chenshan intended to say that he appeared alone for a good reason.
Su Ping nodded casually without taking his eyes off the window.
This special toll road built on the outskirts of the city is meant to bring people directly to barren areas with ease. And the day looks much busier, compared to the usual days. In addition to the black SUVs favored by most setters, one can also sometimes see buses armed with different names painted on their sides.
Ares Academy.
The Berserking Sword Academy.
The Phoenix Peak Academy.
It was an exclusive vehicle financed by their respective schools. In addition to the seven most famous schools in Longjiang, there were also several small schools with abundant resources that managed to send some of their students to the barren area expedition.
In addition, settler groups that usually move away from public view also answer the call for treasure.
On his way, Su Ping curiously inspected the different cars moving past his sight.
