Astral Pet Store – Chapter 426
As an employee, Joanna was able to take care of the store as a replacement for Su Ping.
For example, accept customers and charge fees.
As for pet training
Joanna was not allowed to go to the cultivation site alone. Su Ping should be the one to take him there.
Because of this, Joanna was able to help Su Ping use a dummy trainer.
Su Ping only needed to choose a cultivation location for the puppet practice before he left. Joanna could choose a fighting pet from the storage room and enter a new one. That way, when Su Ping left, Joanna could still keep the shop running. Although he could only complete general training, making money was better than not making money. Su Ping told Joanna everything she needed to know. Then, he looked at Tang Ruyan. This time, he did not send her back to the scroll. Joanna's gonna be too busy on her own.
“Remember to help Joanna out,” Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan. Tang Ruyan was more than happy because she didn't need to get into the scroll. He nodded at once.
Ever since she saw Joanna show her skills, Tang Ruyan never dared to argue with her again.
Su Ping was not worried as he left the shop for the two girls. Joanna was the lord of the territory in the Demigod Cemetery and she was a qualified manager. He was more than enough to take care of the shop for her.
At lunch, Su Ping returned home and told his mother and Su Lingyue that he should leave for a few days.
But he said he'd be back in five days at most.
He said five days because he had been given seven days to complete the mission and two days had passed.
Su Lingyue was just curious but she did not ask too many questions. He knew that Su Ping was not the boy he had ever known. He was destined to do something he could not do.
If he wanted to get involved, he had to become stronger to catch up
hers.
Regarding her mother, Li Qingru wanted to ask a detailed question but Su Ping only gave her a way out.
Of course, Su Ping was not bored with it; li Qingru only asked because she cared.
After lunch, Su Ping was ready to leave.
He took leave without delay.
He was going to take the subway to the base city where the Association of Coaches of the Subcontinent District was located.
As for why he had not chosen the faster way and rode his battle pet, the reason was simple: he did not know the way.
Until then, Su Ping had always been in the base city. He had never gone to another base town, which, to be honest, was rather common in those days.
Only those who were quite active would run across different base cities.
The general public can also travel to other basic cities by subway, but most people will choose to live in the base cities where they were born. The subway is not safe enough. There will be some accidents every few years that can involve some injuries and deaths.
It was impossible to defend effectively against ferocious beasts running wild underground. After Li Qingru found out that Su Ping was going to leave on the same day, she went to get some clothes for him and filled the entire backpack for him, along with some food and snacks.
Since he had prepared himself thoroughly, Su Ping could not resist. He's draped his backpack.
“Time to go.”
Su Ping bid farewell to his mother and Su Lingyue. This was the first time Su Ping had traveled far. Worried because of this, they wanted to send Su Ping to the station but he refused.
It's just one trip. He was not afraid, even though he had never been to another base city. He could travel the world if that was the case.
Even so, she was still a baby in her mother's eyes, whether she was in the title rank or not.
Su Ping told Su Lingyue to stop their mother when she took a taxi and left.
The cross-city subway was in the most prosperous area; there was only one station in the entire slum area. Su Ping took a taxi for two hours before he arrived at the station in the Crescent Moon Zone. This is still a slum, but the infrastructure is quite good, because it is similar to the downtown area at that time. There were many towering buildings and the streets were clean and tidy.
Su Ping was wearing a mask as a disguise. He was rather famous in Longjiang Base City. He could cause a traffic jam if he exposed his face.
Following the crowd, he arrived at the ticket sales counter underground.
There are posters on both sides of the hall. Su Ping looked at the posters of Su Lingyue, as well as her pet, Moonfrost Dragon.
The influence of the Elite League is still felt. Su Ping saw there were several types of tickets. Hard seats, soft beds, one-bedroom cabins, and private cabins.
Prices for hard chairs and padded pads range from a few hundred to several thousand; those that the general public and the ordinary elite can afford. An expensive one-bedroom cabin. It costs over a hundred thousand federal coins!
Of course, the price varies according to the distance.
As for the top-tier private cabin, it cost millions!
Su Ping did not think people usually wanted to spend so much money in one trip.
Even he would consider the price outrageous. Who would spend millions to ride a train?
Of course, in addition to the comfort inside the private cabin, they have other benefits. The building materials of the different cabins are special. For example, the entire private cabin is made of special alloys that can offer a high level of defense. Not even a bomb could destroy the private cabin. Normally, at most, a private cabin could survive an attack by a rank eight beast.
A level eight beast could make a private cabin slip but the cabin itself would not be torn open. In the event of an accident, the people inside the private cabin would have a chance to survive.
Su Ping believed that the private cabin was prepared for the rich who were not pet fighters.
After all, a titled battlefighter capable of spending millions on train tickets would not suffer any losses even if they were to encounter a rank nine beast. Those people did not need such a private cabin to protect themselves.
To avoid any problems, Su Ping chose a carriage with a single bedroom.
In one carriage, there would be several rooms that had one bed. This way, he could spend time cultivating in his room while he was on the carriage.
He was not short on money, but at the same time, spending a million to have a coach for himself would be too futile.
“Master, please grab your ticket.”
The female ticket seller behind the counter smiled sweetly as she gave Su Ping her ticket.
Su Ping received his ticket; it was dark blue in color and the texture was nice. He saw the ticket that someone else was holding. The ticket was as thin as paper and could be bent easily.
Su Ping went to look for the waiting room according to the information on the ticket. Single-bedroom cabin passenger lounge is not as crowded as other public waiting rooms. The surroundings are better and there are even sofas available.
Su Ping looked around. The people who lived there were either war pet warriors or commoners but dressed luxuriously.
Su Ping found a place, sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
Immediately, he heard the sound produced by the airflow, getting closer and closer. After that there was a whizzing sound. Su Ping opened his eyes. He saw two beams of light piercing through the bulletproof transparent glass as they moved closer in the dark tunnel.
The train has arrived.
Su Ping measured the carriage with curiosity.
It was like a metro but there was something different. The headstock was the face of a savage beast and was very clear at that moment. It was as if the head of the beast had been directly transplanted in the carriage.
The track is pretty wide.
There's a special sensor on the wheel. If they did not look carefully, the savage beast would regard the carriage as an animal and would dodge due to instinct.
The train stops at the station and stops.
Su Ping looked at some crowded cabins and some less cabins.
He realized that he could see through several cabins and even thermal images of the person inside.
But there were some cabins that he could not see. The material of the cabin should be special.
