Astral Pet Store

Chapter 425 - Test and… Mission



Chapter 425 Test and… Mission

The astral powers refined by the Heaven’s Test were floating around the cell cores like mist.

But those clusters of mist were able to pull in astral powers from the outside, which could facilitate Su Ping’s cultivation.

The Heaven’s Test had not merely refined Su Ping’s astral powers, but also his physical body.

He was still at the first level of the Solar Bulwark but he could tell he had become tougher than before.

This was certain. Anyone who was struck by lightning multiple times would have.

Su Ping went to practice with some True Gods to test his abilities.

After some fierce battles, Su Ping noticed that he could inflict harm like a real legendary battle pet warrior when he exerted full strength!

If he could sneak attack a battle pet warrior at the peak of the titled rank, he could kill the latter with one punch!

But he was merely at the seventh rank!

He was testing his strength and had not calculated his battle pets’ strength as part of himself.

By the time he broke through to the eighth rank, he would be able to master the skill named “Sense Sharing.”

For instance, Su Ping could borrow his battle pets’ sight or hearing, which would increase his power again!

Soon, over ten days had gone by.

It was time to leave.

Su Ping went back to the store and placed the trained battle pets in the nursing pens or the storage space.

Over the past ten days or so, he would leave the Demigod Burial now and then because there was a limited number of battle pets that he could take with him every time. Su Ping had sent the Earthen Turtle back after its training was finished and picked up other middle-rank battle pets left for professional training.

As he reached the seventh rank, he was able to bring more battle pets with him on each trip. At the moment, he could take ten battle pets at one time!

That was the upper limit for those at the titled rank.

The trials and tests in the cultivation site had bettered Su Ping’s spirit by a large margin. He didn’t learn any spirit-related skills and yet he was much better than his peers concerning his spiritual space.

The day had come. Su Ping went to the bathroom to clean up and shave as per usual. He changed into clean clothes and called Tang Ruyan out.

As for Yan Bingyue, Su Ping did not bring her out. Yan Bingyue could never work in his store. He still remembered how he killed her maid. Yan Bingyue and Tang Ruyan were different; the former hated his guts.

Yan Bingyue tried to hide her hatred and killing intent but Su Ping was too sensitive to be fooled

He didn’t plan to move a finger to address this matter. Naturally, he wouldn’t set this source of danger free and let her run about in his store.

At the same time, Su Ping didn’t plan on killing her, either.

He would keep her in the scroll. In the future, when he set up some temporary base to grow some plants in certain cultivation sites, he could have her watch the plants for him.

In other words, he would keep her imprisoned for the rest of her life and she would never see the light of day again.

It sounded cruel. But this was how the world was. Once they became enemies, it was a matter of life or death between them. There was no cruelty.

When Tang Ruyan went to go and wash up, Su Ping heard some chattering outside the store. He went to open the door.

There was a sea of people outside.

It was still early in the morning, but a large crowd had already gathered outside.

As the government unblocked the street, many customers had intended to pay a visit. Besides, the government had been promoting Su Ping’s store on purpose. At the moment, this street had become the most popular location in the base city.

Some repeated customers were thrilled to see Su Ping. Finally, he opened the door!

Having often witnessed such a scene, the large number of people no longer startled Su Ping. Calmly, he went back to the counter. Tang Ruyan had gone out as well by this time. She didn’t apply any makeup, but her cheeks were rosy and she was a born beauty.

Many customers were unable to take their eyes off of that pretty girl.

Some men were even pretending to be shy, acting as if trying to look away. Tang Ruyan had become used to her new identity. What a beautiful new day.

She put on a warm smile and greeted the customers gaily.

“Hey girl, what is your name? Can I have your phone number?”

“Here is my info. Go away.”

“Pretty, I have a house and a car. But I do miss someone to keep me warm.”

“Of course, my son.”

“Dear, open your hands because I have something to give you… Me. Do you want to accept me?”

Crack!

Bones broke.

Tang Ruyan asked gently, “Say that again?”

The first-timers who went to chat Tang Ruyan up were annihilated.

The repeated customers who had already learned their lesson were gloating. They had seen a glimpse of themselves in those first-timers.

The first-timers began to behave after being refused by Tang Ruyan. No one dared to flirt with the girl after that.

Roses had thorns. But this rosy girl not only had a few thorns: she was made of thorns. She was a shrub of thistles and thorns!

Those who had been taught a lesson were standing in line, well-behaved, according to Tang Ruyan’s kind instructions.

Su Ping paid no regard to the “interactions” between Tang Ruyan and the customers.

The occasional interaction could liven up the atmosphere.

Su Ping took out the customer’s battle pets one by one.

Some of the customers picked up their pets and left right away when others wanted to try them out. Tang Ruyan took them to the test room.

With more and more people coming, Su Ping realized he was understaffed.

Tang Ruyan was getting swamped. She had to greet the customers, show them to the test room, or keep the orders at the door like a guard.

Joanna was his employee as well but Su Ping needed her to manage the battle pets and place them in the storage space. After all, Su Ping couldn’t make the battle pets disappear right in front of the customers; that was a secret of the store and it would be too shocking for the world to know. Not even legendary battle pet warriors had the ability to make something disappear.

Su Ping noticed that many customers were young people from the five major families.

He didn’t know them. But they would later tell him their names when it was their turn and specify which families they were from.

It was obvious they had been sent specifically to support Su Ping’s business.

Su Ping nodded to show that he noticed.

As for how to reward that behavior, Su Ping thought he could just go easier on the bullying.

Soon enough, Su Ping noticed Qin Shuhai. He was mixed in the crowd, keeping a low-key; no one had recognized him.

Some of the young people from the major families recognized him but they were afraid to talk to him or even look his way. They just hid in the crowd.

It was Qin Shuahi’s turn. He said to Su Ping excitedly, “Brother Su, look at how popular your store is!” He had to pay Su Ping one hundred million the previous day but he went back home and told the family head about the name of the mysterious girl. The family head reimbursed all the expenditure without hesitation. “I guess so,” Su Ping said casually, “Wait. I’ll get your pet.”

Qin Shuhai nodded.

While Su Ping was busy in the store, Qin Shuhai didn’t feel the least bit envious. Qin Shuhai intended to become a legendary battle pet warrior. Doing business was for the common kind. Sure, he could make money but then what?

Qin Shuhai could not figure out why Su Ping would want to waste his talent when he was so young, squandering his life away in that place.

Su Ping told Joanna to get the Earthen Turtle. He had to admit that Joanna had been of great help. Tang Ruyan might not be able to command a ninth-rank pet like the Earthen Turtle trained by him.

Soon, the Earthen Turtle stepped out from the pet room.

“What?”

Qin Shuhai was surprised by the look of the Earthen Turtle.

There are spikes on its back. Why?

Stunned, Qin Shuhai checked his consciousness. He could feel the bond of the contract.

If it weren’t for this, he would suspect that Su Ping had swapped his battle pet.

But the Earthen Turtle looked strange.

Qin Shuhai was worried. He had heard that there were some quick training methods where people would inject some special potions to the battle pets to stimulate a fast mutation. Was that what Su Ping was doing in the store?

But special potions like this usually had great side effects.

Qin Shuhai was full of complicated feelings.

The Earthen Turtle had crawled to the counter. Su Ping picked up the note he had stuck to the turtle’s head and said to Qin Shuhai, “You can refer to this. If you want, you are welcome to have a feel for the results in the test room. Your Earthen Turtle should now have a strength equal to the upper position of the ninth rank.”

Qin Shuhai took over the note, read it, and stood in a daze after hearing Su Ping’s words.

Qin Shuhai saw the names of many famous skills on the note.

My Earthen Turtle… had learned those skills, really?!

That was not possible. One night had passed. He would believe the increase of strength but learning all those skills couldn’t have been achieved through the use of special potions!

Qin Shuahi looked at Su Ping and then Joanna who was standing behind the Earthen Turtle. He immediately switched to a smiling face and said, “Lady Joanna, nice to see you. Brother Su, don’t overthink, of course I trust you. I don’t need any tests.”

Su Ping didn’t explain. Qin Shuhai most likely would find some place to do the test outside if not there. Anyways, Su Ping had done what he should do.

“All right, if that is fine with you, put away your battle pet. You should also introduce more rich people to me if you like the result,” Su Ping said.

Qin Shuhai was a connection he could use to gain access to people in the upper class.

His business would improve if more titled battle pet warriors could go there.

After all, one advanced pet taking a professional training round was equal to one hundred low-rank pets taking the general training.

Because of the system’s scrutiny, Su Ping didn’t enjoy the liberty to choose his customers. Therefore, to make more money, he had to attract more customers that would choose professional training!

“Sure, sure. I will introduce someone to you later,” Qin Shuhai promised. It was not like he had another choice when the legendary rank girl was there.

But he was unhappy on the inside.

Qin Shuhai left in a hurry after making the promise, afraid that Su Ping would ask him for something else.

He went back to the Qin family estate at once and went to one of their large battle stadiums.

He called a family elder.

“You want to do a test?” “Yeah. Nothing serious,” Qin Shuhai said. He went inside, summoned the Earthen Turtle, and waited for the family elder to arrive.

Back in the store.

Su Ping received several more customers after Qin Shuhai left.

Before he closed the door, he told Joanna some things for her to take care of because he was going to the Trainers Association to finish his mission. He had ample business in the store and no one was competing against him. He would rather finish the mission earlier and get the reward.

Compared to the energy points’ income, Su Ping needed the skill book more.

After all, some skill books couldn’t even be found in the system’s shop.

He would have to be extremely lucky to find them.

Even if he could, the price would be overwhelming
