The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 216's
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 216
Their mother immediately answered the call. Su Lingyue made a quick excuse to ask her to go to the pet store.
A moment later, Li Qingru appeared at the store in hasty steps and looked at Su Ping worriedly, only to see her son sitting there well.
“Want? Didn't you say that your brother was hurt? Something about his head??”
“Oh, well.. He just came.” Su Lingyue did not look embarrassed at all.
Su Ping rolled his eyes after finding out about his sister's horrible lie.
Since his family was finally there with him, he did not care much whether an unknown enemy would disturb him or his family first. He assumed that the perpetrators would soon know everything about poor families if they wanted to, including his name and where he worked. They might not have any reason to pursue their family first.
“What happened here?” Li Qingru looked at her children and demanded.
Su Ping was also trying to think of an excuse because he could not tell his mother about the danger she was in.
“Eh, mother? I plan to expand the store a bit. This..well, important, so I hope you can come and maybe give me some suggestions.” “Expand store?”
Su Lingyue became impatient and moved to somewhere her mother could not see, before she told Su Ping to prepare their escape plan as quickly as possible using eye contact. In his view, they should quickly leave, rather than wasting time talking about this little shop.
Remodeling the shop sounds expensive. Although she later believed that her brother had enough money for it after seeing him spend achievement points like a madman.
But this is not the time for that.
All his movements were greeted with Su Ping indifferent attitude.
But didn't you drive like a drunk?? He angrily protested without a sound. What's next??
Unfortunately, he did not know that “” hideaway<TAG1> Su Ping was there, in the store.
To Su Ping, this place was the safest in the entire world right now. There's no point in wandering outside.
But they could not live together there because it was inconvenient for three people to live in such a small place. Not to mention there were many things he did not want to show his family, such as why he often disappeared into the field of cultivation and reappeared.
To expand the store is not entirely a lie - he needs it to accommodate his mother and sister.
Money was not a problem at all because he had enough funds to buy this entire street for his own use. More than that, doing this meant putting the entire place under the administration of the system, where at that time he could easily prepare another house for his family to live in, he said, while the system will handle any intruders with bad intentions.
“But how do you—” Unlike Su Pingyue, Li Qingru did not think Su Ping had earned enough income for such a big plan. “I can take care of money matters, Bu.” Su Ping pretended to look proud. “You just need to sit here and um, help me keep an eye on things.”
Li Qingru did not protest. He was prepared to stop Su Ping from making any ridiculous adjustments to the building. Su Lingyue was so anxious about this situation that she finally spoke, “Are you sure it's time for this ??”.
“I know what I do.”
Su Lingyue looked at her brother's serious gaze and chose to trust him for now. “You... intended to change the store, like, now?”
“That's right.”
“But how?”
“I'll seek help.”
“Who can help us?”
“Professional, of course.”
As he explained, Su Ping opened the main settler website on his computer, found the “inapan” tab, and started checking some business owners meant to help settlers with rent and housing affairs. Most of the time, those who do business with settlers are quite reliable.
Li Qingru could not see what her son was doing from his position. “Wait, dear, we need to carefully plan ahead. You cannot just search for companies that you do not know well on the Internet. I'll help you wonder, you know. ”
“No need, Mom. Just leave it to me. It's time to let your son handle something important, don't you think?”
Su Lingyue approached the computer and checked the page with a surprised expression. “Wait... I never knew they had this!”
How else because he just became an apprentice settler. There were many things about the settler base that he had not learned.
With a quick move, Su Ping made some orders with some brokers who would help him negotiate with the surroundings, whereas he only needed to pay his money.
Although some neighboring stores may not plan to sell their premises, sooner or later they will give up on real estate agents who can force them to sell them.
After all, money works very well.
Of course, he didn't really plan to do any dirty business. He told the brokers to try to offer three times the original plot price to buy it. As far as he could see, no one would turn down such a huge offer. And even if one did, he could exclude those parts from his expansion plan.
If anyone wants to take advantage of his generosity by asking for more than promised, some “business dirty” does not hurt.
It's about everything he needs to do. From now on, he just needed to sit there and wait for his hired workers to deliver some new house deeds to him.
To get a store to level 3, a larger business area is one of the requirements. He also needs to complete a special training order that is due in a month. It's time to reach it.
Fortunately, he was free to prohibit people from entering the pet room. As long as he teleported to the cultivation plane from there, he could avoid revealing his secret to his family.
With this in mind, he stood up and spoke with a serious gaze, “I need a few hours to take care of the pet. You two stay here and don't leave the store no matter what.”
Li Qingru frowned. “What do you mean? What will happen?” Su Lingyue also looked doubtful, as she was not sure why her brother could find the time to train a pet at such a time. Still, he knew he could trust Su Ping.
“A-no problem. Let's just calm down for now, mom. ”
Su Ping added, “Don't answer any calls for any reason. People may come and claim that they want to do business with you or something. Don't listen to them. Stay inside.”
Su Lingyue nodded again. He wondered if one of the people Su Ping had just hired would appear, even though he had no problem obeying Su Ping's orders, after witnessing his many outstanding achievements.
Seeing his sister had been persuaded, Su Ping closed the shop cover, entered the pet room, and closed the door.
So far good…
It never crossed his mind that he would bring back the enemy by visiting the Mysterious Realm. Now he felt even more excited to become stronger.
Fortunately, all of the treasures and achievement points he had obtained this time should have been enough to help him reach the rank of the titled fighting pet fighter. He just needs time.
Meanwhile, he also had to help Little Skeleton absorb the Skeleton King's Bloodline as fast as he could because it was his best “ bodyguard”. Though there is much to be done. Not to mention he did not know much about this ancient bloodline.
This gives him three important jobs: enlarging the store which is also their “” safe place, finding materials to level up the Solar Bulwark, and training Little Skeleton. Fortunately, he was able to carry the Little Skeleton while performing special training commands, which meant doing two things at once. He had previously planned to visit a lower-middle-level cultivation plane to carry out a special training order. It may take a lot of time and effort, but it will also save her energy points.
Time is very important at that time.
He opened the system menu and began to look at the high-level cultivation plane. Each one would cost hundreds or even thousands of energy points to enter.
Name “Demigod” Cemetery caught his attention. The ticket price was 1,200 energy points, which was quite cheap among all the high-level cultivation planes.
Let me look here. A piece of abandoned land separated from the Archaean Divinity, when a powerful god separated it from its main continent. After that, it was always drifting in the void.. Wait, so this was originally part of Archean Divinity?
The cultivation plane of “Archean Divinity” requires 9,000 points to enter, while each subsequent death will cost 900 points. He can't afford it yet.
This smaller place is acceptable.
