Astral Pet Store – Chapter 500
They realized that Su Ping was not joking. He will sell the beast kings! Even legendary fighting pet warriors would find it difficult to capture the beast king, but Su Ping was actually selling the beast king! Where did Su Ping get so many beast kings? Did he catch them in the wild?
“Tuan ... Mr Su, how much does a king of beasts cost?” The head of the Ye family gulped. Others eventually realized the money problem as well.
The beast king is precious! They would have to pay a heavy price if they asked a legendary fighting pet warrior from the Tower to help them capture him, perhaps at the expense of all their family assets! “No more than two hundred million,” replied Su Ping. He realized how valuable the king of beasts was, while also having adapted to the price of “friendly” that the system would set. He would feel pity at a miserable price but not today; selling the beast king so that the head of the family could better protect the city was the most important thing. Also, that low price was old news for him. He regained what he had spent, as each incubation only required a million energy points, that is, a hundred million astral coins.
He could make money with those beast kings, but he would lose money for the other two ferocious beasts at the peak of the ninth rank. Overall, income and losses will offset each other.
The head of the family looked at each other with a speechless astonishment. Su Ping did not sell; he actually gave the king a ferocious beast! “Bapak. Su...” Qin Duhuang wanted to thank him but he stopped thinking. Verbally thank you is no longer enough. He looked at the young man, emotionally touched. “Bapak. Su, if there is something you need from the Qin Family in the future, just say it. I, Qin Duhuang, will follow your instructions!” The other family heads were shocked by the way Qin Duhuang revealed his answer.
Qin Duhuang was a senior titled fighting pet warrior who had earned his reputation in the Subcontinent Children's District; he was known as the Raging Spirit! He was once a battle-titled pet warrior, as terrifying as His Eminence Blade.
Why was he talking to Su Ping with such respect? Is it just out of gratitude?
Mu Beihai had known Qin Duhuang for a long time. He knew that something more meaningful was conveyed in that answer. The old man was too haughty to be humble just because of the beast king.
“Bapak. Qin, you flatter me, ” said Su Ping.
Qin Duhuang did not comment further. Whether Su Ping accepted his offer was another matter; he would keep his promise at all costs. He looked at the king of ferocious beasts and finally decided to get the huge scorpion that was right in front of him. “Bapak. Su, can I have this one? ” “No problem.” “Thank you.”
Qin Duhuang nodded. The price of the Storm Scorpion was one hundred and sixty-three million astral coins, which was a reasonable price considering its combat power. Su Ping told Qin Duhuang to make a contract with his new pet after he paid. The other family heads were a little jealous seeing Qin Duhuang step closer to the beast king to begin the contract process. It was the king of beasts, for crying out loud! The pet fighting titled battle with the beast king and those who did not have them were completely different!
The head of the Ye and Zhou Tianlin families who stood behind Qin Duhuang was quite pleased.
They were both at the top of the titled rankings, but only barely. They were not strong when compared to all titled fighting pet fighters. There were many who could intimidate them once they were outside Longjiang Base City. However, they could even be compared to the likes of Venerable the Blade after obtaining the beast king!
They can even be better! Liu Tianzong and Mu Beihai tried their hardest not to show their jealousy. They were filled with envy; they regretted ever choosing to evacuate. Otherwise, it was possible, Su Ping would still let them choose based on whose fast rule he could be! They could have a chance to obtain the king of beasts. But they have lost that opportunity because of their decision.
They were so sorry that their hearts were trembling.
Qin Duhuang completed the contract process soon after; it went quite smoothly. He was at the top of the titled rank; mastering the king of beasts in the Ocean State was not a difficult job for him. On the other hand, a beast king in the Void State would crush his spirit! “Back to me!”
The huge Storm Scorpion was sucked into the vortex, then Qin Duhuang gave another order and the pet king beast came out again. Unable to hold back his excitement, Qin Duhuang flew to the head of the Storm Scorpion; he was standing at a height against the wind. While in a daze, he seemed to have recovered the passion and drive of his youth!
He stood on top of the beast king! He's been missing this for a long time! He had thought he would only be able to realize his dream when he became a legendary fighting pet warrior. The sudden surprise.
Whooshing sound!
Qin Duhuang jumped off the head of the Storm Scorpion, high-spirited and powerful. He cupped his fists and said, “Master. Su, thank you!”
Su Ping nodded. “Is it acting tame towards you?”
“It has a little temperament but I can handle it,” Qin Duhuang replied.
He could feel how ruthless the Storm Scorpion was, thanks to the bond made by the contract. But the violence was not directed at him. They will be friendly thanks to the contract, as long as he will not abuse the pet. Their relationship will only get better as they spend more time together. Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong were even more envious. Both of them clenched their fists so hard that their fingers almost broke!
Regretting! Zhou Tianlin could barely wait any longer. “Bapak. Su, can I choose now?” She asked. “Sure.”
Su Ping nodded. Overjoyed, Zhou Tianlin immediately made a decision. He chose the Flame Lion that came from ancient times; the beast king with a mixed lineage of demons and the fire family. These pets can use both types of skills, but most are fire-related.
It cost one hundred and forty-three million astral coins, equal to 1.43 million energy points. Su Ping nodded at him after Zhou Tianlin paid. He rushed to the Flame Lion at once to sign the contract.
Liu Tianlin and Mu Beihai couldn't even fake composure after Zhou Tianlin chose his beast king. The last beast king will belong to the head of the Ye family. He felt a little disappointed as he also liked the Storm Scorpion Qin Duhuang had chosen; the beast king was clearly the most powerful of all. But since Qin Duhuang had already taken it, the head of the Ye family had to settle for the last beast king. After he glanced at Liu Tianzong and Mu Beihai, even that hint of unhappiness was replaced by a feeling of superiority. Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong did not say anything. They would be in a much better mood if they could buy a battle pet at the peak of the ninth rank before that day. However, they were not the slightest bit happy at the moment; the comparison was disgusting.
Su Ping did not care what Liu Tianzong and Mu Beihai thought. He only had so many beast kings and someone would definitely be left behind. He could not give everyone the king of beasts.
“I will trust you with the protection of our base city. Time to go.” All the fighting pets had been sold by then. The head of the family thanked Su Ping again and immediately left. His priority was still dealing with the impending beast attack. Nothing else matters if they can't get through it. Su Ping returned to the store and checked the number of energy points after they left. He had nearly five million energy points at the moment! The three beast kings combined had given him nearly four million energy points, while the two battle pets at the peak of the ninth rank had given him over nine hundred thousand energy points! Su Ping remembered something. He could use four million energy points and try the pond again! If he could obtain another beast king, he could sell it and use the energy points obtained to incubate again! In theory, if luck were on his side, he would be able to repeat that process and he could always have a beast king! Of course, that was when he was lucky enough. After all, he had already used seven million energy points. What's four million more? He tried again! Su Ping went to the room. He started the process without thinking twice.
The first pet came out; it was one at the peak of the ninth rank.
He tried again. The second was born. It was a baby; a king of ferocious beasts that could grow into a Void State! The beast king could at least sell for two to three million energy points when growing up! Unfortunately, he could not sell it at this time. He had to get rid of it for a while. He tried again. The third was the king of beasts! It was a pet candidate with a combat strength of 11.2!
The king of the beast is from the Archean Age. That being said, the king of beasts was not very strong. It could handle some rank nine ferocious beasts but it would not be as good as the other beast kings.
It was a Green Blade Insect, only four to five meters tall, like a giant dragonfly.
“This is the first time I've seen such a small king of animals. This person is definitely one of the weakest insects in that ancient times, ” Su Ping said to himself.
Next was his fourth experiment.
To his disappointment, the fourth was a baby with a bloodline of the ninth rank.
I was so unlucky this time. The Green Blade Insect is the only one who can be useful, Su Ping exclaimed inwardly.
Other pets are not bad, per se. In contrast, babies have higher grades; they can be made stronger by training. However, it is not the right time to educate the baby. I have to sell the Green Knife Bug to someone.
Su Ping thought of the mayor. However, the mayor would not throw himself into the middle of the battle. Then Su Ping remembered His Majesty the Sword.
He called her at once.
“Fate Challenger,” says Venerable the Blade. Su Ping felt that name was uncomfortable. He replied, “You can call me Mr. Su as before. I have pets to sell. Do you want it?” “Begging?” Venerable the Blade asked, “What kind of animal? I think all my places were taken. If I want it, I have to cancel the contract with that one first.”
“Forget.” Su Ping had to give up on Venerable the Blade.
When canceling a contract, the person will go through a period of vulnerability, only able to gather enough force for verbal arguments and nothing else. The time was too critical to put Venerable the Blade through that period.
“Hah?”
Venerable the Blade was shocked by such a resolute refusal.
He doesn't even know what pet it is. He could cancel one contract if the pet was quite rare!
Su Ping hung up the phone without explaining.
He remembered he had another choice, Wu Guansheng! The one at the top of the title rank who had been forced by him to teach Su Lingyue about healing skills.
He was Su Lingyue's teacher! He had previously called Wu Guansheng and asked for his help in dealing with the attacks of ferocious beasts. Wu Guansheng did appear. Wu Guansheng had gone to his house to eat many times, so Su Ping thought about it well; he directly punched the number.
“Wu Old?”
“Challenger of Fate?” While puzzled by the meaning of the call, Wu Guansheng still replied respectfully.
He had heard about Su Ping deeds in the Supremacy League. Even though he wasn't there directly, he was knowledgeable enough to know about it.
“Do you have an empty place to have more pets?”
“Yes, I have two vacancies,” replied Wu Guansheng. She is very strict with her pet choices. Therefore, he only made a contract with seven pets. He was also not a fan of fights; he did not have the need to build up his combat strength. After all, the focus was on healing skills. Su Ping was happy to hear that. “Good. I have a king of animals. Do you want it?” “Anger... king?” Wu Guansheng could not believe it. “Did you just say, king of beasts?” “Yes, king of beasts. But the weak, ”add Su Ping.
Wu Guansheng gulped. Weak one? Is there a weak beast king? All the king beasts were intimidating creatures!
“Yes yes!” Wu Guansheng shouted. He was picky but never in terms of the beast king! He did not care whether the beast king was weak or not. As long as it was at that rank, it would help him deal with a savage beast at the ninth rank. “Good. Come to my store, ”said Su Ping. “Soon!” A few minutes later, the thick-bellied Wu Guansheng arrived at Su Ping's shop. He started to look around as soon as he went inside and asked Su Ping, “Fate Challenger, do you really have a beast king to sell?”
Wu Guansheng wondered if Su Ping was playing with him as he walked over. But he had not expected Su Ping to be in such a mood at such a critical moment.
Su Ping called out the Green Blade Bug without explaining. The Green Knife Bug was small enough to appear inside the store. One would not think that such a small battle pet was the king of beasts!
“It...”
Wu Guansheng was shocked when he saw the Green Blade Insect. The primitive and cruel feeling of that ominous insect invaded his senses.
A king of animals! This is the king of animals! While the beast king was smaller than usual, he was certain of that.
“Do you ... honestly mean to sell me this king of beasts?” Wu Guansheng asked again. Su Ping nodded. “Give me a hundred million, sign the contract and take it.” “...” Wu Guansheng dumbfounded. Just a hundred million? Su Ping made it sound as if he was just selling something that he could randomly pick up somewhere. But this is the king of beasts! “Are you sure?”
Wu Guansheng asked for confirmation so many times that Su Ping started to lose patience. Finally, Wu Guansheng paid him and immediately signed the contract while Su Ping watched the deed. Until then, Wu Guansheng was absolutely certain that he had obtained the king of beasts! And he just spent a hundred million! Wu Guansheng had gotten a general idea of what a fighting pet was like with the help of a contract. He had to run some tests to find out more.
“Remember that protecting your own life is the most important thing,” Su Ping told Wu Guansheng. Su Ping had asked Wu Guansheng for help but he did not like to see anyone who answered his call end up dead during the battle. If they could not defeat the enemy, Su Ping hoped that they would save their own lives first. Wu Guansheng was quite touched by this. He replied in earnest, “Fate Challenger, don't worry. I will do my best now that I am here. I don't care if this is Longjiang Base City or some other place. I will help whenever I
can!”
He was willing to go there, not entirely because of Su Ping, but also because he did not want to see so many people killed by beasts in vain.
They are all living people!
All humans!
Who would they rely on if their fellow human beings did not help each other? Wu Guansheng had also contacted his friends on the way to Longjiang Base City. However, some of them were frightened when they heard “Other World Heavenly Kings.” They refused and warned him not to get involved.
He did not blame them; he could understand why they did not want to go there. After all, who would not be afraid of death?
“Fate Challenger, I'll see you,” Wu Guansheng say goodbye.
Su Ping nodded.
Su Ping stood by the door after Wu Guansheng left. When he looked up, he could faintly see dark clouds approaching on the horizon. He's worried.
This time, even he was scared. Even he would not be able to defeat an Otherworldly Heavenly King if it was indeed in the Fate Country. That might be the end of Longjiang Base City! If the city was breached, the ferocious beasts would arrive here sooner or later. The shop will be the last line of defense. Too bad not too many people can fit in the store. But if an Otherworldly Heavenly King arrived here, this was where he would be buried! Su Ping said to himself. He was thinking about the worst case scenario and he didn't want that to happen. Heavenly Kings would be killed there after destroying and stomping on everything; the base city would be gone by then. Cities can be rebuilt, but how many must die?
Meanwhile.
Xie Jinshui had found the soldiers who had come to support Longjiang Base City.
Explorers appear in groups or as pet warriors titled battles of individuals. Several families - who have built relationships with residents of Longjiang Base City for business reasons - have also sent reinforcements.
Xie Jinshui could barely express how grateful he was with words.
With proper cooperation, those extra supporters could match the strength of one and a half major families from Longjiang Base City!
There were over a dozen titled battle pet warriors present! Apart from Venerable the Blade and Wu Guansheng who had been invited by Su Ping, two other warrior-fighters at the top of the title-ranked had appeared voluntarily! They are all famous fighting pet fighters! There were thousands of advanced battle pet warriors who also came to offer support! Those who had traveled to support the base city, while knowing about the appearance of the beast king, were all heroic men and women. They seemed to be weak when compared to ferocious beasts, but no one dodged the risk!
Xie Jinshui was full of complex feelings. He had distributed those people to defend all four sides, all to help the local fighters and families to stop the ferocious beasts.
While the Warriors took up positions, Xie Jinshui also managed an ongoing emergency evacuation.
Two hours passed.
The entire Longjiang Base City ran over quickly. Everyone rushed to their positions or made plans.
Few people were seen on the streets; most of the general public had left their offices. Usually densely populated office buildings are filled with empty chairs and empty tables. Most of the ordinary people were in shelters right now, hiding.
Some people can't go anywhere; they stay home and pray. Most of them were scared, panicked. Meanwhile, the ground shook hundreds of miles away from Longjiang Base City. Some pet fighters who had gathered information outside were keeping a safe distance with the ferocious beasts as they sent the updated information back to the base city. At such a level, in less than two hours, a savage beast would arrive!
The Su Ping store.
Several government agents are setting up the devices in his shop. The device will help him learn the current situation around the city in real-time.
He can go and help any party that needs help.
If the Heavenly King was there, he would be able to receive information at once.
He's waiting in his shop.
He wasn't on the front line and he wasn't standing on the outside wall, but he was more worried than anyone.
He realized that even though he had fought many times and died many more at the cultivation location, he had never been that big before. If he were to die, he would not come back to life this time! There will also be many people dying! “Pak.” Zhong Lingtong wanted to speak but stopped for a second thought. Too many things happened that day. He was stunned when he saw Su Ping selling the king of beasts. He also became worried as Su Ping put on a worried frown.
Tang Ruyan sat on the sofa, silent.
He was more mature than Zhong Lingtong and knew more about the event than Zhong Lingtong did. The name of the Otherworldly Heavenly King had made him despair.
He could not understand what Su Ping was thinking back then.
His mind told him that Su Ping was acting silly after deciding to stay, but he did not say anything to her. Longjiang Base City was Su Ping's home. One does not need to find a reason not to leave the house.
The silence in the shop was broken by some sounds.
Su Ping looked up. Familiar faces appeared before him. “You?” Su Ping was surprised.
He looked at Su Yanying, Ye Hao, and the other familiar students.
They were the earliest customers of the Pixie Pet Store.
“Bapak. Su,” said Su Yanying. He looks around. He noticed that there was a new attendant in the store; it had been some time since his last visit.
She smiles. “Bapak. Su, long time no see.”
Su Ping asked, “Why are you here?” “We will go to the battlefield. We happened to walk past your store, so we thought we should go in and say hello, ” Ye Hao replied.
Su Ping was surprised by this. “Front line?
You?”
They were no longer students; they had just graduated! “Bapak. Su, do you not believe in us? ” Su Yanying laughs. “We also belong to Longjiang Base City. It is our duty to step in when our base city is in trouble. Sir Su, don't underestimate us. Of course, you can if you want, but not the pet you train for Us. ”
He sounds so relaxed. Su Ping did not know what to say. He was confident about the pets he had trained, of course. They are recent graduates and some of them are still in school. But all of their pets could be compared to advanced pets, especially Ye Hao and Su Yanying pets. Lightning Rat Su Yanying could compare to a rank eight beast!
But the Lightning Rat was only ranked third!
However, it was not a random fight. It was war!
The war between humans and beasts! A war where the king of beasts would appear. Even pet fighters who were given the title could not claim that they would survive. Why do young people volunteer? “We heard that Mr. Su will stay. We are not wrong about you, ” Ye Hao said. He knew that, unlike those who had no choice in the matter, Su Ping could leave if he wanted to!
All titled battle pet fighters can easily leave Longjiang Base City!
Staying is a hard choice!
“Bapak. Su, thank you for everything you have done for us, ”Su Yanying bowed. “Time is running out. I heard that a savage beast is about to arrive. We have to go.” Ye Hao waved at Su Ping. He suddenly noticed Zhong Lingtong who was sitting on the sofa. “Bapak. Su, what a beautiful girl. Is she your new maid?” Tang Ruyan pulled a long face as she sat next to Zhong Lingtong. Zhong Lingtong blinked. Su Ping warned them, “If you guys have to leave, remember not to act as heroes. Your life is the most important thing. Do you understand?”
They nodded and left.
Su Ping wanted to tell them something more, but ended up letting those words go unspoken.
On the east side of the outer wall of Longjiang Base City.
The black flag of the Qin Family was fluttering on the outer wall, whistling in the wind!
Grand word “Qin” printed on flag.
Many members of the Qin Family gathered on the outer wall; some of them were given the title of battle pet warriors and some advanced young pet warriors. They were there with pet fighters from the government and outside support that Xie Jinshui had sent. “Dad, they came.” The current man in charge of the Qin Family was Qin Feiyu, Qin Duhuang's second son. He was the one who managed the day-to-day business of the Qin Family, the real head of the family. Qin Duhuang would only step forward when it came to critical matters.
