Chapter 26 (2/2)

A blazing flame emerged out of thin air. A firebird that was the size of half a human came into being, exuding heat without restraint as it was completely bathed in fire.

“Is this a Fallen Phoenix, a pet with an advanced bloodline?”

Su Ping found this interesting. This was a precious bird but presently, it was only at the upper position of the third rank, with an apt.i.tude rated as poor and combat strength of 4.2. This bird could fight those at a higher rank if it exerted great efforts.

The other one was an Ugly Stone Beast which looked like an oddly shaped rock. This pet was also of an intermediate bloodline, currently at the lower position of the fourth rank with a combat strength of 4.3 and an apt.i.tude rated as poor.

“These are the three.” Su Yanying didn’t summon any more pets.

The three pets stood inside the store and made the already small storefront feel even more crowded.

Su Ping told himself that once he made enough money, the first thing would be to upgrade the size of the store. In the future, when people came to leave their advanced pets, every single one of them would be large; some would be a dozen meters tall, others even dozens of meters tall. He was afraid that this store would not be big enough to hold them.

“Three pets. A three-day stay for them would be 21,600.” Su Ping did the calculation quickly.

“Sir, can you round it up and forget about the small change?” Lan Lele said before she paid.

Su Ping answered coldly, “No discounts.”

“I knew it.” Lan Lele pouted and snorted. She wired the money quickly.

After the money entered his account, Su Ping gave them the receipt and asked, “Do you need anything else?”

“No, nothing else.” Su Yanying had no more money and she couldn’t ask her friend to pay more for her.

Lan Lele looked around and asked, baffled, “Isn’t this a pet store? Why don’t I see any pets for sale?”

“There aren’t any pets for sale at the moment,” Su Ping said.

“A pet store that doesn’t sell pets?” Lan Lele’s face wore a funny look.

Su Yanying found this answer intriguing as well. This entire store reeked of mystery.

“Alright. We have concluded our business. Let’s go.” Lan Lele did not linger. She was ready to leave at once.

Su Yanying comforted her pets for a bit, unwilling to be parted from them. Before she left, she stressed, “Sir, please take good care of them for me.”

“Don’t worry,” Su Ping’s reply was in such a mild tone that it didn’t seem convincing at all.

Su Yanying opened her mouth, trying to say something else. Yet, after thinking that three days would zip right by, she held down that urge. She turned around and stepped away.

After they left, Su Ping took the pets to the pet room in the back. Lucky for him, the pet room door was wide enough; it was a sliding door with a 4 meter clearance, large enough for the large Fanged Tiger to go through.

“System, I need to buy another elementary nursing pen,” Su Ping said to the system.

“Sure,” The system agreed.

-10 energy points.

s.p.a.ce twisted for a while in an empty place in the pet room; a moment after, an elementary nursing pen came out from nowhere.

Su Ping had become inured to the unusual powers of the system. Taking a look at the size of the nursing pen, he suddenly began to wonder if the large Stone Beast could fit in such a small s.p.a.ce.

“The host doesn’t have to worry. The s.p.a.ce inside the nursing pens are independent from ours. Pets of all sizes can fit in,” the system explained.

Su Ping was relieved. Fortunately, the system was freakishly outstanding.

He carried out the little skeleton and the Managarm that were sleeping in the two old nursing pens and made the three pets walk into the vacant ones. The three pets shrank down as they stepped into the nursing pens. The half-a-human sized Fallen Phoenix looked like a fiery red canary.

As for that Fanged Tiger with a length of six to seven meters long, it shrank down to the size of a regular dog, only the tiger spots were still visible.
