Astral Pet Store – Chapter 231

Raising the store to the third level would cost one hundred thousand energy points.

Su Ping had managed to accumulate a lot of energy points while the business was growing. He had also expended a lot of energy points when he upgraded the Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation, bought treatment pens and other materials, and the beast-catcher ring in the system shop.

Moreover, he visited the Demigod Cemetery. The 1200 energy points for the price of admission were only a fraction of his expenses there.

The amount of energy points he spent on awakening for seven days was enormous. Resurrection energy points are 10 times the price of admission. In total, he had spent over ten thousand energy points on awakening!

That was why Su Ping was afraid of going to the Archaean Divinity.

He was able to pay the 9000 energy points required to enter but he could not afford the revival there …

Su Ping sighed as he looked at the interface. He had 460,000 energy points left. He had to spend 100,000 energy points to upgrade the store and it was one step further than accumulating a million energy points to raise the Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation …

Although he felt his heart ache as he finished those energy points, he understood that he had to upgrade the store right then and there. Otherwise, he would not be able to upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation, even if he had enough energy points…

“Fortunately, I was able to launch a professional training service after upgrading the store to the third level. One round of professional training could give me ten thousand energy points. If I can accept several such orders every day, to have a million energy points would not be too difficult, ” Su Ping said to himself. He stopped hesitating and proceeded to upgrade the shop.

“Bunches!”

“Terms to upgrade the store to the third level are met. Upgrade or not?” word system. Su Ping sulked. “Can you stop with ‘bip’ before you say something?” The system answers with questions. “Didn't you humans think this is what a smart system should do?”

“Only an idiot system does this.” “Is that so? I'll move on to something else next time, then. Confirm your choice first. ”

“You know what I think. Why do you need me to confirm something?’

“We have to follow the procedure, you know. Human Rights. Am I right?”

Su Ping rolled his eyes. “Increase.”

“Ding!”

“Stores will be upgraded. Business will be suspended for the next 24 hours. Newly added service is..”

Su Ping: “...”

He did not bother to continue his argument with the system. His attention was on the list of some of the new services that would be available in the store.

First, it is a long-awaited professional training service. For each round of training, he would charge customers one million federal coins, which would be converted into ten thousand energy points and the service would be available indefinitely!

As long as customers could afford it, they could choose this service that was most suitable for wealthy students like Ye Hao.

The second new service is the place for tests.

The store will have a special place for customers to test their pet skills. This way, customers will be able to do a live test in the store, rather than going out to look for another battle spot after picking up their pet.

The third service added is pet sales.

That is an upgrade to a pet rental service.

Previously, the store had set up a pet rental service. Su Ping had never used it because he did not have any pets worth renting out.

He often trains the Little Skeleton and the Black Dragon Dog and he treats them as his pets. He never planned to rent it out and he did not want to either.

After all, the person renting the pet could be using it wrong. The lives of pets cannot be returned if they, unfortunately, perish.

If the pet dies, the customer will not get a refund of their deposit. In some ways, customers practically buy pets at a great cost. However, to Su Ping, pets like the Little Skeleton, Dark Dragon Hound, and Inferno Dragon were too precious to sell.

Pet sales service is unlikely to come at a better time.

Su Ping was happy with the service. In the Mysterious Realm, he had captured several ferocious beasts at the peak of the ninth rank with his beast-capturing ring. The pet, while at the peak of the ninth rank, was only average in combat ability and had poor talent. They are just the kind of pets that can be sold.

Su Ping did not want to keep those beasts to himself. Right now, the Little Skeleton had already exceeded 10 in combat strength, far better than the ferocious beasts he had captured.

Also, he could not make a contract with a pet at the peak of the ninth rank. His brain will explode.

Anyways…

His astral strength was only at the bottom of the sixth rank.

There was a huge gap between him and the ferocious beasts at the peak of the ninth rank. Right now, at his best, he could master a savage beast at the bottom of the eighth rank. It was already at the limit of his ability. Controlling such an animal could backfire on him and he could suffer from a mental disorder. A savage beast of the top position of the seventh rank was one that he could control but the risk was still there.

“It's a good opportunity. I can sell a rank nine beast in the beast catching ring. That kind of high-level beast could appeal to high-quality customers. I will see the animals as store ads,” Su Ping said to himself.

“Tokonya is now upgraded. Then what is the security zone like now?” Su Ping asked. This is his biggest worry right now.

System reply, “Security zone inside shop territory has been prepared. As long as it is within the scope of the store, the host will be safe. As for the other functions, they will be available once the upgrade is complete. ” “Bulkah?” Su Ping was happy to hear this. That is, he could step out at this moment and go to another place he had bought.

“Home master can enable the visual function to observe the security zone of all stores. This way, the host can see the boundaries of the security zone. That function is only available for host.” Added system.

Su Ping was surprised. “Active.” He said at once.

Immediately, in front of his eyes, he could see a layer of light green veils on the stairs outside the shop and the light green veil extended further from the shop. Su Ping stuck out his head and saw the green veil covering most of the other places he had bought.

Is this part of the security zone?

Su Ping eyes glowed. This way, he could have an accurate understanding of the scope of the security zone.

Suddenly, he heard some car engines making noises outside. The fleet of home decorating companies entered and parked outside the store that Su Ping had bought.

Su Ping did not know what was going on. In the next moment, many average-looking people got out of the car and into the many shops he had bought.

“What..?”

Su Ping looked at them and wanted to go and face them.

“Home master need not worry. They are simply beings of energy that have been created by the system. They are here to provide protection for store upgrades, ”The system stated calmly.

Su Ping was surprised.

To provide protection for store upgrades?

He thought that he only had to stay for 24 hours and then the store would have a completely new look, with all the shops being one.

He had never expected that the system could produce energy beings pretending to be a decoration team.

How strange is this!

Of course, this would save him from a lot of trouble. Having someone who pretends to be better than all the stores magically becomes one overnight. Otherwise, he would have to explain to his mother and Su Lingyue.

“Will 24 hours be enough even if it is for construction pretend play?” Su Ping asked.

System answer. “This is a big team. The timing is tight but it won't arouse suspicion. People will only be amazed by the efficiency of the team.”

Su Ping admitted that he was fascinated.

His system was even more cunning than her.

At the same time, Su Lingyue walked over after she heard those voices. He saw a fleet of decoration companies parked on the street. Surprised, he asked, “Why? Since when can this shabby street buy such large-scale decorations?”

Since the system had offered a solution, Su Ping happily complied. He said calmly, “I, your brother, hired the team. They all work in the store I bought. From now on, everything will be ours. I want to unite them now. After the work is done, you and mother can choose a place to stay.”

Su Ping had bought more places than the system needed. The actual places will not be included in the scope of system construction and will remain the same as before. Su Ping had to find an actual human company to decorate and renovate.

“Do not worry. I have set up a company owned by them. When the upgrade is complete, no one will doubt anything, ”answer the system casually.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He made no further comment because he knew the system was capable of doing this. After all, he still had an unknown and strange bank card that would be used to transfer all of the store's income.

“You hired them? You buy all places?”

Su Lingyue was stunned. The streets were full of cars and many workers were outside, getting ready for renovations. He bought all those places. Even if he has not started work yet, he still has an idea of how much money is needed given the value of their own family store.

Su Ping was acting ordinary. Su Lingyue's feelings told him to call her bluff. But he remembered what Su Ping had done for him at the base of the explorers and his achievement points were over four hundred million…

He decided not to say anything.

He did not know when it happened, but he realized that he could no longer read Su Ping. He had thought he knew what kind of person Su Ping was, but he had exceeded his expectations from time to time.

Su Ping saw his mother wake up. He was awakened by the hustle and bustle of construction. He asked her to follow him and Su Lingyue. They stayed inside the security zone, went to a street corner, and found a restaurant he didn't buy. He ordered something and they sat down for a simple breakfast.

At breakfast, Li Qingru asked about the workers as well and Su Ping repeated his explanation.

Li Qingru's first reaction was that Su Ping was joking when she said she was the one who hired all the workers and bought all the other places. He can't believe it. He did a rough calculation and concluded that the cost was at least two hundred million.

That number was incredible for him. He could not make so much money even if he could live forever, let alone in this life.

Su Ping could no longer hide the information that he was an explorer. He told mom about this which was the only logical explanation.

Li Qingru was still doubtful. Su Lingyue jumped out to clear Su Ping name. As he explained, he had a strange expression on his face. He proved what Su Ping said was true and implied that Su Ping was at a high rank, actually being one of the most powerful explorers.

Li Qingru placed her hand on Su Lingyue's forehead to see if the latter was burning. Then he asked if Su Lingyue owed Su Ping a favor.

Su Ping and Su Lingyue did not know what to say to their mother. Su Lingyue glared at Su Ping. So frustrated that one day, he had to defend her in front of their mother, not to mention not being trusted.

Su Ping was helpless. He thought of showing them his bank card to prove his story. On second thought, he gave up on the idea. There are still nearly seven to eight hundred million balances on his cards. Explaining that would be more difficult.

Inside, he breathed.

He couldn't just summon the Hell Dragon to show that he could make money. As for finding evidence of his identity as an explorer? He had yet to collect his gold-level explorer medal. Even if he knew, he assumed his mother would not recognize him.

After much deliberation, Su Ping believed there was only one person who could explain all this to him, Dong Mingsong.

Su Lingyue was studying at the Peak Phoenix Academy. Naturally, Li Qingru knew about Vice School Head. He has seen pictures and information about her online.

Su Ping called Dong Mingsong and immediately started a video chat.

The call worked. On the screen, Dong Mingsong smiled happily. “Bapak. Su, how did you find free time to call me?

Su Ping sighed before replying, “This is the problem. Can you explain to my mother that I am a teacher in the academy?

Dong Mingsong thought the request was strange.

At the same time, Li Qingru had recognized Dong Mingsong. He flinched in shock. Dong Mingsong knew what was going on. He greeted Li Qingru with a friendly smile and then Su Ping let his mother chat with Dong Mingsong Ten minutes later, the call ended. Li Qingru looked at Su Ping, surprised and pleased. He believed in the story this time. Dong Mingsong convinced him again and again. Finally, he understood that his son had woken up long before and had become an advanced teacher at the Peak Phoenix Academy!

The renowned Phoenix Peak Academy. Li Qingru was quite proud that Su Lingyue was acceptable. He had no idea that Su Ping had achieved such an amazing feat. He had joined the academy as an advanced teacher. How talented he is

to be!

Tears came to his eyes. He's too excited.

Su Ping hurried to comfort him. He didn't know he would be so happy.

“See yourself. Why didn't you tell me about this before? When did you wake up? Why didn't you tell me? I can buy you a pet. Our family is rather poor, but I will buy you a qualified pet at all costs. ” Li Qingru's eyes were filled with tears but she smiled happily. He was happy that Su Ping turned out to be so amazing and at the same time felt sorry for him.

He had never helped Su Ping in his cultivation. He knew that Su Ping achievement was definitely the result of his hard work.

That thought made his heart ache.

“Bu, it's a long story. I will tell you next time,” Su Ping said. He could tell that his feelings were sincere from the look in his eyes. She was touched; perhaps this was the reason why she was willing to call her mother.

Su Lingyue sat to the side, not saying a word.

“Your father will be happy to know that you are full of promises. I should call your dad sometime. You and Lingyue have grown up; your father need not continue to risk his life. I can tell him to come back looking for a safer and easier job.” Li Qingru wiped her tears and continued happily.

Su Ping had little memory of a father he had never met.

Su Lingyue said something for the first time in a long time, “It's time to tell dad to come back.” He's serious. “When I graduate, I will also become a strong explorer. You don't have to go out to sea to make money anymore. He can only go home a few times a year and what he does is too dangerous.”

“Ya.” Li Qingru nodded.

This is what he is worried about too. He's always nervous. She would never have let her husband do such a risky job if not for their two children.

Su Ping felt pity hearing them say those words. “Tell dad to come back. I will support family.”

Li Qingru was amused by his reply. “You are an adult and you can make a lot of money. In the future, your father and I will be able to live an easier life, but we will continue to work. I'll find a job with your father when I feel better, to help you if you need money in the future.

Su Ping felt his heart being crushed. He took a deep breath and said, “Bu, we will talk about future work. First, tell dad to come back. Also, from now on, you will stay on this road. I'll build a house for you. In an emergency, I'll be able to go and help you immediately if you stay close to me.

Li Qingru nodded. He did not ask about what danger might be. He has lived for many years and experienced many events. He knew the base city was unsafe, especially in the slums.

Many base cities on the planet have fallen due to the invasion of beasts. The way he saw it, this was probably what Su Ping called an emergency.

Although the chances of such an event happening to them are low, the risk is still there. It is better to err on the side of caution.

They finished their breakfast and Su Ping took Li Qingru and Su Lingyue to the usual store selling sofas. They'll stay there for a while. He would look for another time to hire a real decoration team to repair this building as a house.

As for why they should stay there, Su Ping made an excuse. Since Su Lingyue knew the real reason, she helped Su Ping persuade Li Qingru to stay.

Li Qingru could not argue with them so she agreed to stay.

After helping them settle down, Su Ping returned to his shop.

He heard loud noises along the way, so loud that his ears went numb. He asked the system. “Can you make it not too noisy? There's another store in business around here. It's too many scenes. ”

“Understanding.”

Soon, all the sounds from the construction became less loud. The decorating team moved their work indoors. This way, one can see that there is construction still going on but at the same time, they cannot see the specifics. This is enough for a cover-up story.

Su Ping was amazed by this hardcore increase.

He went back to the store and called Joanna out of the nursing home. A powerful energy flowed out from him, which was too conspicuous because he had the momentum of a king of ferocious beasts.

He told her to call and walk around the store that was being built to check her territory.

He obeyed his orders to retract his energy output. But he was not happy to check his territory. He felt Su Ping was abusing his power for a personal agenda! But he remembered what he could get as an employee. He snorted in protest and then was ready to go out.

That's when some people showed up.

The leader of the gang was a white-haired old man. He was wearing a cyan robe. The old man looked graceful and refined. He did not expend any powerful energy but he did not seem to be a match for this environment. There's something about him that makes people feel he's not part of this secular world.
