Chapter 15 (2/2)

Su Ping had a faint memory that he seemed to have harvested this thing next to a pond. It wasn’t a risky journey. Rather, it was surprisingly easy. He didn’t check it carefully back then. He just picked it up after confirming that it was food. He didn’t expect that it would be the most precious among all the food he had harvested.

“That is over 20,000… and I can make two hundred energy points when I sell it?”

Su Ping did the math. He was over the moon. This Colored Buddha Leaf alone could solve the problem of him buying the “Awakening Potion” and he would have some extra money left!

“This trip was so worthwhile!” Su Ping was thrilled. All of a sudden, he felt some extra deaths would not be a problem.

Soon, Su Ping calmed himself down. He asked the system at once, “Is it possible that we have set the price too low? If it’s used on an advanced pet, the effect produced would not be something that can be bought with merely 20,000 coins.”

Su Ping was sure that if this plant could inspire an advanced pet to learn a rare ability, even adding another zero to the current price would be considered a cheap price. He had beginner’s luck as the buff to help him stumble upon this plant. Usually, people could not find a place to buy it even if they wanted to!

“The host doesn’t have the right to negotiate the price,” The system replied coldly, “The Colored Buddha Leaf is not the best food to improve the power of understanding. This is just a usual kind of herb. At best, it can exert influence on ninth-rank pets. A price that can be converted to 300 energy points is reasonable!”

Su Ping almost flared up. “The effect is already incredible when the plant can influence ninth-rank pets. The ones above the ninth-rank pets are king beasts. There are few and far between in this entire continent. What more do you want?”

“There is no need to say more. To go on would incur pain experience as punishment!” The system went straight to the point without the slightest hesitation in a colder tone.

Su Ping indignant. The system was being unreasonable!

In the end, Su Ping had to compromise. He heaved sighs as he checked the remaining food. When he had the total price calculated, his mood turned for the better.

“Now, the food is ready. All I have to do is to sell them!”

Su Ping took a deep breath. He opened the roller shutter door to welcome in the sunlight.

He spent over half a day on the cultivation plane but only an hour had pa.s.sed in the real world.

Su Ping went back to the store. He sat behind the counter to search for information on pets in the federal government resources on the computer, so that he could adjust to this world faster while he waited for customers to arrive.

Not long after, there came one.

“Sir, please give me a bag of food for a Conflagration Canine.” A young man in leisurewear came in without looking up from his phone.

Su Ping turned his sights away from the computer. He searched on the shelf and finally found some food that a low-rank canine pet could eat. “Here you go. Three-leafed Flame Gra.s.s, just the food for the canine pet of the fire family. The price is 380,” Su Ping said.

“Okay.” The young man in leisurewear answered without thinking. He was just about to pay when he suddenly raised his head, shocked. “How much?”

“380.” Su Ping frowned. “This food can increase the intensity of fire elements in pets of the fire family. With a long-term administration, there is a chance that the low-rank pet in the fire family can evolve into a more advanced pet,” explained Su Ping.

“Intensity of the fire element? Evolution?” The young man in leisurewear raised his eyebrows. He looked at the counter behind Su Ping. The prices for those foods stunned him. When he saw the “Colored Buddha Leaf” at a price of over 20,000 coins, the young man said nothing and left right away.

“Sh*t. This must be an inn run by brigands. It’s just some dog food and you’re telling me about evolution. F*ck you…”

Su Ping watched as this young man left, interspersing his talk with curses. Su Ping pulled a long face. He was angry but he managed to suppress it eventually.

Judging by price alone, it might seem high. But that food had excellent quality and was reasonably priced. He didn’t fool anyone. Rather, as far as he could tell, he was sacrificing part of the profit!

He started on the wrong foot, But Su Ping was not frustrated. As long as his goods were of high quality, they would be eventually sold. Gold is bound to s.h.i.+ne!

“Hi, do you sell bird food?”

At noon, another customer came.
