“The shop is in the host’s sea of awareness. Think of it and it will appear,” the system explained.

Su Ping began to think about the shop.

All of a sudden, a dark gray shop interface appeared in his mind, like the cabinet of a storage unit. Only three items could be found in there.

“Awakening Potion—100 energy points.”

“Elementary beast catching ring—100 energy points.”

“Low-rank Astral Pet food—10 energy points.”

Information on all three items came up at the same time.

Su Ping did not hesitate to choose the “Awakening Potion” at once.

“Purchase failed. Insufficient energy,” the system cautioned him.

“Energy?”

Su Ping was surprised. Only then did he notice the purchase requirement that followed the item description.

“The energy points are converted from the money made by the host. The exchange rate is 100:1. The current energy stored is, one point.”

Su Ping was dumbfounded. He suddenly remembered something. He browsed through his transaction history.

-100!

As he expected, his account had 100 points less; they had been transferred to an unknown, unfamiliar account.

“This is to say, with 10,000, I can buy the Awakening Potion, right?” Instead of feeling frustrated, Su Ping was excited.

That was an utterly cheap price. After all, the Awakening Potion was something that could elevate a common person to an Astral Pet warrior in one go!

If he had to buy it in the federal outposts, the price alone would be astronomical, let alone the complicated channels he had to go through. Besides, the effect might be inferior to this one!

“Convert all the remaining currency in my account into energy,” Su Ping said at once.

There were more than 20,000 in the balance of his account. Those had been transferred to him by his family for him to buy some Astral Pet offspring.

“Currency unrelated to store activity cannot be converted,” the system said.

“What?”

Su Ping didn’t understand. “Is there a difference between the money made in the store and the one made in other places?”

“No.”

“Warning! Profanity alert!”

“…” Su Ping took a deep breath. He clenched his fist, “If so, why can’t you convert money that comes from other channels?”

“The currency conversion module is set up to test the host’s own development ability. This ability will be included in the final evaluation of the host in the system,” the system explained.

“What final evaluation?” Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

“The host doesn’t have enough authority to know.”

“…”

Su Ping pushed down a certain urge and gradually loosened his fist.

He had to be humble while he was trapped in an inferior situation.

“Lucky for me, to make 10,000 in the pet store is not a difficult task. I just need some time. If I can train a pet like the Lightning Rat and sell it, I can make more than a million, let alone 10,000!” Su Ping said to himself.

“Given the host’s current limits of authority, you can only rent pets, not sell them.” The system doused him with cold water in a very timely manner.

Su Ping: “??”

He couldn’t sell pets in a pet store?

“Warning! Second profanity alert!” The system sounded cold.

A painful memory surged in his mind. Su Ping quickly cut back the ideas that were swarming out endlessly on his mind.

He took a deep breath in, and out.

He had obtained the Zen spirit.

“Even if it’s just renting, it’s not difficult to make 10,000 every time I rent a pet as good as the Lightning Rat,” Su Ping thought.

“All the services provided by the store shall be priced reasonably. The host doesn’t have the right to adjust the price,” the system came out again.
