“This person must be in dire need of money, right?”

Lan Lele was p.i.s.sed off.

Even at the flags.h.i.+p stores—under master trainer’s names that provided all-round care and could be counted among the best locally—pet boarding charges would never go as high as this.

But.

“What the h.e.l.l is wrong with this shabby store?

“Look at the environment. It’s clean but the storefront is narrow, small and worn-out. Its location is completely out of the way. The monthly rent might not even go beyond 3000. How could this store compare with the famous flags.h.i.+p stores?”

Lan Lele believed that this owner had decided either to not do business, or to make one deal happen and then close down for years. He was trying to milk money from them!

“Wishful thinking!”

“Yingying, let’s go. This owner is a dirty profiteer. A master able to train this Lightning Rat is surely someone who would never have anything to do with him!” Lan Lele glared at Su Ping, her mouth virtually foaming. She didn’t hesitate to urge Su Yanying to leave.

But Su Yanying did otherwise. She asked Su Ping, puzzled, “Sir, the service was not this expensive the last time I came here.”

“The care system has been ungraded. Naturally, the price has to go up,” Su Ping said, calmly.

“The care system has been upgraded?” Su Yanying stood stunned for a moment. Then, a glow came to her eyes as she said, gladly, “The pet boarding treatment is better than before? Doesn’t this mean that the pet can learn more advanced pet skills?”

“Of course not,” Su Ping said without thinking.

“What?” Su Yanying’s face was covered in question marks.

“I just trained that little guy for some time while I was at it. Its change was a complete surprise.” Su Ping kept a straight face. “Now, of course, I no longer have such luxury of free time. If you want to leave your pets for boarding, then that is it. No training is included.”

Su Yanying understood. “Sir, you finally admitted it. It is you that helped train my Lightning Rat!” she said, giggling.

“I did admit it before,” Su Ping pointed it out.

“This is not the same.” Su Yanying gloated. Staying was the right decision. She hurried to the next question, “Well, sir, what benefits can come with the current pet boarding?”

She believed that there had to be some reasons to account for the high price.

Su Ping remained neither hostile nor friendly. “Only an improvement on the pet’s const.i.tution and power of understanding. If the pet itself is quite qualified, then there is a low chance of evolution but nothing else. If you want the pets to learn pet skills from this foster care, you will only be disappointed.”

He was telling the truth. After all, the benefits that came with the nursing pens alone would be worthy enough for the price charged. If he had to throw in the training, he would be losing money as it was.

Su Yanying said oh. She was let down but not so upset.

After all, she managed to confirm that her Lightning Rat had received training in this very store. This fact alone was enough to make her happy. At least, she had found the origin of the change in her pet, saving her from that muddle-headed situation.

“Only an improvement in its power of understanding and const.i.tution?” Lan Lele gazed at Su Ping skeptically.

While Su Ping had admitted that the Lightning Rat’s change was related to this store, she still found it hard to believe. Once Su Ping revealed the benefits of the pet boarding service, her skepticism was increasing even more.

Those words were practically used in all the pet stores’ advertis.e.m.e.nts!

At the end of the day, there was something.

Power of understanding and const.i.tution could not be measured or tested, unless the scope of improvement was large. Otherwise, who could tell if the pet’s const.i.tution and power of understanding had been enhanced or not?

“Sir, can I ask you to train my pets for me again?” Su Yanying looked at Su Ping with antic.i.p.ation. As for the pet boarding, she wasn’t that interested after Su Ping had made the introduction.

Usually, people would only leave their pets at a boarding service when they had too many pets to take care of. At the moment, she was free and she could feed them herself; she could also train their battle skills.

“Train them?”

Su Ping was about to refuse when he heard the system’s voice.

“Detecting customers in need of pet training. [Pet Training] service has become available in advance.”

“The host can accept orders according to the price set for pet training services.”

Following the prompt message was a price list, like a menu, with the charge related to different levels of training services.
