The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 97's
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 97
Yu Yuanyuan followed her friend's directions; she checked the items for sale, rubbed her eyes, and looked again to make sure that she didn't see more zeros than she actually did.
“What pet do you have in mind?” Su Ping stood up and walked around the counter.
Yu Yuanyuan looked at the approaching man again. He would have run had he not been born braver than his peers.
“Ehem, Sir! I want to get a really bad pet trained here. But it's grumpy, I wonder if you can handle it. And for how much.”
“Ten thousand for low rating, and one hundred thousand for medium rating.” Su Ping offered a friendly smile.
That smile only made him think it was an arrogant grin from a cunning broker in Yu Yuanyuan's view, even though such a price was not too far from his comfort zone. While checking the items for sale, he expected to hear more crazy numbers than that.
“How much did you pay to train that Lightning Rat?”
Su Ping smile disappeared. “One million.”
The girls were shocked but soon recovered as one million was cheap enough to exchange for the deadly Lightning Rat.
He needed to make sure Su Ping was telling the truth.
“You know which Lightning Rat I'm talking about, right?” asked Yu Yuanyuan. “Do you know who the master is?”
Su Ping gave him a quick glance. “I am obliged to protect my customers privacy but. I can tell you this: he is from Phoenix Peak Academy. Miss Su.”
Yu Yuanyuan sighed in relief. “What can my pet get if I pay ten thousand?”
“Ten thousand, huh? It's hard to say. There will be some kind of improvement, which I can guarantee. Either rank, half rank, or battle experience. Either way, your pet will be better than ever. Su Ping returned to his seat while speaking.
Woah, she's already lost interest, the girls thought. Talk about entrepreneurs…
They were curious to know what the outcome of the training was like. They might not be able to raise a million even if they worked together, but paying ten thousand was not too problematic.
“I will place middle rank pets plus low rank pets here,” Yu Yuanyuan said.
His colleague, who looked very shy, also spoke up, “I—I'll also leave a pet here. Queen Laba-labaku.”
Spider Queen?? Su Ping glanced at the second girl again. For such a cute using such a scary pet? Don't tell me this girl has a personality disorder or something.
However, he would not refuse the business. “It will be two hundred ‘n ten thousand for both of you.”
“Sure.” Yu Yuanyuan nodded and paid as she asked. “How long should we wait?”
“Come tomorrow.”
Su Ping smiled brightly as he had just gained 2,100 energy points on his account. His advertising tactics are paying off!
… trick us? Is this person even reliable?
Su Ping knew what they were thinking but had nothing to prove himself at this moment.
“If I don't finish the request tomorrow, I'll refund your money.”
“OK..”.
In fact, the girls had just planned to ask for a refund. But the two of them decided to see how things were, after seeing Su Ping so positively.
“I'm recording, remember.” Yu Yuanyuan showed her the phone. “Make sure you don't retract your words. That won't work.”
Su Ping's improved eyesight had already allowed him to see that the girl was bluffing; his camera wasn't even on. Even though he won't show it.
“I won't ruin my reputation just to earn a small amount of money. Call your pet and leave if you have nothing else to say. ”
The girls knew Su Ping was angry and immediately did as he was told. They do not want to part with their pets, but going away for one day is not a big deal.
As the girls left, Su Ping placed the three new pets into the pet room, filling the empty grooming cage.
He checked one of the pens where Managarm was still kept. According to their contract, the retrieval deadline for this creature was long overdue. His master was either dead, or he decided to leave the dog.
After all, it was Tokolah who decided how to deal with the dog at the moment.
Su Ping bit his finger and tried to make a pet contract with him. Soon, a spiritual connection was established between them, which meant that he guessed correctly.
“Aduh. Poor guy.” He patted the dog on the head and returned to the front room.
The contract was only meant to check if the dog master still wanted it. Although he won't end it soon. A Managarm would not take away much of his spiritual power. He may try to take it with other pets while training them and making them stronger, so he can rent it out to other customers. Or he could sell it, if the system allows it someday.
Soon, more students from the academy appeared. They are famous people on the ranking list or curious students who just want to look around the store. Of course, most of them were afraid of the price of Su Ping, leaving only a few brave people who bought maintenance or training services.
As for pet food.
This was expected, since the students were there because of Lightning Rat Su Yanying. The food is too expensive for their taste.
Regardless of what he obtained from Jiang Hanbing and the next two girls, Su Ping had obtained a total of five thousand energy points throughout the day. He has broken his daily sales record.
Without a second thought, he spent ten thousand points to bring the Chaotic Spirit Pool to level 3. Such a level would have a small chance of directly giving birth to the Beast King.
