The Astral Pet Store

Astral Pet Store – Chapter 229
“Pat shop??”
Of course, he did not recognize such a strange name because there were too many shops selling all sorts of items for him to remember. And he definitely didn't expect someone to hire him like this.
i'm god! He thinks I'm some kind of regular helping hand he can use? Even the largest trading company in the whole world will do my bidding without question. Now the human wants me to work for him??
He frowned and carefully used his holy power to check if the scroll was rigged with a trap. He fully expected Su Ping to do such a thing after the recent effort.
But. It was just a scroll no matter how he looked. Maybe the material is a little strange, but nothing dangerous.
“Are you done?” Su Ping urged, impatiently. “Quick and sign if you really want to go to Archean Divinity. I have to go.” immediately
“... Are you sure this will help me go there? What does this work have to do with Archean Divinity?”
Su Ping spit, “I need it so I can move you from this world, slowpoke.” “And how do I know you will fulfill your promise if I follow you?”
“Disbelief, I understand. And I totally understand.” Su Ping spread his hand. “That's the only chance you'll get from me. There's nothing more. I will soon be expelled from this world. You won't find me anymore. I probably won't come here a second time. Heck, there are a lot of interesting worlds out there waiting for me to check them out. And even if I somehow came back, I wouldn't be looking for you. Now, make your choice.”
The woman looked at him for a moment and saw no sign of lying. His perception did help him detect his shady efforts beforehand. Now he can see that he is honest.
“Archean Gods ..”
He can't make a decision.
Many gods, including the strongest rulers, always dream of going there someday. In doing so, they might talk to the gods there and persuade them to receive the Demigod Cemetery once again, after being abandoned for thousands of years. But he would not believe that humans knew how to enter the Archaean Divinity. Although this job offer seemed real, it did not seem to be enough to get them close to that locked-in area. “Come,” urge Su Ping again, “I only have one more hour.”
“Only, give me time.”
Su Ping relaxed by sitting on the edge of his bed. “Do it quickly.”
The woman looked displeased to see a human had stained her sheets. But he managed to hold back his explosion because there was a more important matter.
“How do I sign this thing?”
“Easy. Write your name on it. Be sure to use your blood.”
The woman closed her eyes and carried out another thorough scan. This time, he sensed a faint trace of overwhelming power contained within the scroll.
This is ... creation governed by the rules of absoluteness?
It tells him that a contract has been made and ensured by an absolute rule overseeing all the world. There would be no turning back once he agreed to his clause. He should read it carefully.
All things said, it didn't take much time because not too many words were written. Duties and prohibitions.Payments and welfare.Ohh, many interesting things I can get. And a free opportunity to go on vacation within the realm of my choice. I can get it by being an amazing ‘employee’…
Since it is impossible not to comply with anything written in the agreement, it can be said that each section within the ‘payment and compensation’ section must be correct.
But deep down, he still had doubts about Su Ping's morality.
The woman showed him a rather determined look. “Good. I'll sign it.”
“Then do it!”
Without asking any more, the woman bit her finger and left her name on the scroll that slowly started to fluoresce—Joanna.
Su Ping glanced at the completed agreement and asked the system, “Is this alright now?”
“Please wait a minute, host. He was currently trying to circumvent the restriction by transferring his consciousness to another place. Find the source in three, two, one.”.
At the same time, Joanna suddenly shouted in horror and held her head. “What have you done, man ??”
“Just make sure you don't try dirty tricks. So, what I saw wasn't the real you, was it? Tell me, what is your work among all the gods?”
Joanna looked a bit angry as Su Ping revealed his plan. “Not your business!”
“If you don't know it yet, you are my employee now. And if you want to get an extra bonus, you have to listen to my orders. I wouldn't consider someone who always causes problems as ‘extraordinary’, you know? ” Su Ping tried to scare him with a small bluff.
Instead, it was partly the truth because he did need to work harder to get his money.
Joanna clenched her teeth. His last attempt to ignore his “tag” ended in failure when a terrifying force somehow followed his fleeing soul and locked onto his true self. He had no way of escaping from her.
The overwhelming knowledge of “” pet shop entered his mind uninvited, both of which confirmed that the store was real, and told him that he had indeed become a wage worker.
That ... wasn't too bad, because he could see that the gift he promised was also real. The same irresistible force had convinced him of his future advantages as long as he gave sufficient effort, including how it was possible to visit the Archean Divinity later on. That unknown power even showed him a brief overview of the Archaean Divinity realm, which looked the same as he remembered when the two realms were still together.
“System, you just found out where her real self is hiding? Will he use that real body to work in the store?” Su Ping wanted to make sure.
“...According to the agreement, she is free to use her current avatar to do her job. Although it is advisable to try to win her trust, so she may feel comfortable enough to come as her true self.”
“Well, that sucks. But I don't think it makes any difference as long as he helps. What's ‘true body’ like? How strong is he?”
“He is similar to the Supreme God who rules this part of the world.”
“Wah, really?” Su Ping was surprised to hear that. “That's why he knows the secret art used by all the gods.”
“Warning. The connection with the Demigod Cemetery would end in ten seconds. Nine, eight..”
Su Ping quickly turned to Joanna. “Alright, time to go back to the store. Try to act, okay?”
Joanna is still visibly upset that something has exposed her vulnerable source, despite a lot of income from her new job.
