Astral Pet Store – Chapter 89
Both Dong Mingsong and Su Yanying gaped after hearing his reply.
No??
This is THE Phoenix Peak Academy. Many people will pay with their lives to be accepted. The Vice Principal directly invited Su Ping over and gave him a lot of bonuses, but he actually refused? And he did not hesitate in the least!
“You .. please think again,” Dong Mingsong try.
Su Ping shook his head. He had indeed considered accepting Luo Guxue's advice, even though he had yet to reach a solid decision. As for being a student? Of course not.
Dong Mingsong's eyelids twitched due to an absurd incident. Even Ye Hao, the top ranker in the academy, did not enjoy such a privilege. He's already crossed the line by giving that generous offer; he may need to speak to the president later to seek approval later, otherwise he'll pay the fee himself.
He had never expected his offer to be rejected like this.
A big man stepped forward. “Alright, Mr. Vice Principal, you must not force that person because he said no. As far as I can see, an outstanding young man like this already has a reliable teacher. He doesn't need an academy. Heck, what he's doing there is better than what your best graduate can do.”
Dong Mingsong knew he had no voice in this so he stepped aside.
“What's your name, my friend?” the big man asked directly.
“How about you go first?”
“HA! You're hilarious. His name is Fang Baili. Like in the fangs of wild beasts!”
“I Su Ping. Although my life is hardly peaceful1.”
Fang Baili shouted while laughing. “I like you, Son.”
“Can't say the same. I'm not interested in friends.”
Fang Baili choked on his laughter and looked at Su Ping.
The others chuckled when they saw their friend bewildered like this.
The red-haired lady spoke again, “Baili, dear, you already have Su Yanying on your side, how about handing Su Ping over to us? Master Su, I am Ji Rongying. Or just call me Ying in short. I represent a Class A settler team working for the base town. By joining us, you will receive—”
The other young man beside him did not let it finish. “Quiet already. We're all Class A teams, aren't we? In addition, your team focuses on missions in the barren areas of Class A where six out of ten advanced fighting pet fighters return with body bags. Are you seriously telling Master Su to go to such a place, huh? Come onl. My team is the best for settler recruitment as we have many bases set up around the Class B area. If you want a safer job, Mr. Su, we can also train you in the Class C area. There will be a teammate protecting you. I don't know about anything else, but we can make sure you stay alive while exploring. ”
“Can now?” The other middle-aged settlers grinned. “If someone tells you about being completely safe in the barren, you're talking to a legendary pet fighter who can kick the ass of Beast Kings, or an amateur who doesn't know what he's talking about. I mean, we all know that Beast Kings sometimes appear in the Class C area. How can you fully protect anyone? ”
“Nothing is impossible. Besides, my team can also do it all.” The middle-aged man looked at Su Ping kindly. “If you join us, Mr. Su, you get an advanced demon-type Astral Pets trained to adulthood. You don't let other men protect you, you take care of yourself! Capiche?”
Su Ping had no chance to speak up because the other settlers had already interfered. “Huh! You make it look like it's something rare. Devil-type pets come in a wide variety, including strong and slippery ones. I'll back off if you promise me, like, a dragon-type pet instead. That will guarantee a useful result.”
“You talk as if you can afford it!”
“Of course we can. If Mr. Su comes with me, I will raise enough funds to give him a dragon-type pet within a year.”
“A year, yes? So he worked for you for a year before getting paid. What a smart plan you get there! ”
“After all it's better than your stupid devil!”
The settlers started arguing without letting Su Ping speak at all.
Su Yanying felt even more defeated after hearing all the crazy offers given to Su Ping. He could not enjoy these things by joining Fang Baili's team. Adult demon type? It would cost at least millions! What's more, if it has good potential!
He began to wonder if he had made the right choice.
A few days earlier, Fang Baili had invited him to the cafe to talk about their future plans, where he was too eager to reject any of the man's terms. He thought it was noble enough to be chosen by a team of first-class settlers. There's no point in bargaining.
“Hey, hey, friends.” Su Ping tried to make himself heard among the people fighting. “That's nice and everything, but you know, I never intended to be a settler.”
The heated discussion was immediately silenced.
“You, no?” Fang Baili stuttered. “Even with such skills ??”
Su Ping's response only reminded them of something they had already thought of. There might be someone much stronger acting as Su Ping's backup. He did not need to risk his life to gain wealth and fame as a settler at all.
“I'm just not interested in this job. Sorry.”
If it was to improve himself, he could only use a cultivation plane without worrying about dying for real. If it was for money, he had his shop to help him. All of her recent income is enough to sustain her life, unless she needs a bigger budget to buy a strong pet.
And even if he needed a strong pet, he could use the Incubation Pool in his shop and possibly produce a Beast King if he was lucky. He had no reason to join a dangerous expedition with the settlers when he could play it safe at home.
