Su Yanying then remembered she had not made the proper introductions. She immediately said, “Ye Hao, this is Boss Su. My Lightning Rat was trained in his store. He is also half the owner of my Lightning Rat. Speaking of which, Boss Su might know more about the Lightning Rat than I do. Boss Su, Ye Hao is the champion of our school’s annual tournament. He is the one who is most willing to spend money on pets.”

The latter half of the sentence was obviously a hint to Su Ping.

“Boss Su?” Ye Hao was surprised. Su Ping was about his age. The latter was a few years younger than him. How was he such a young boss?

Moreover, the Lightning Rat had been groomed in his store? Didn’t that mean that he had a master in his store?

To be able to hire a cultivation master at such a young age, could it be someone from a large conglomerate or a large family clan?

He didn’t doubt Su Yanying’s words; such a lie would not do Su Yanying any good. If word got out, it would lower her standing in the eyes of her mentor and the battle team. After all, everyone thought that she had trained the Lightning Rat herself.

In that short moment, many thoughts surfaced in his mind, and the coldness on his face disappeared without a trace. He maintained his composure and smiled. “So, the Lightning Rat was trained in Boss Su’s store. I wonder where Boss Su’s store is? If there’s a chance, I hope that you can help me cultivate my Thunder Basilisk. No matter how much it costs, I’m willing to pay for it. Of course, money is nothing special. Boss Su, you may not be interested in it, but if there’s anything else that I need to do, I’ll do my best. I’m absolutely sincere!”

When Su Yanying and Lan Lele heard his words, they thought to themselves, Nope. He just wants money.

Su Ping would not reject a business offer. Judging from the man’s appearance, he was obviously rich. He nodded. “Since you’re so sincere, I can consider it. If you give me a hundred thousand now, I can consider nurturing your pet with priority.”

“One hundred thousand?” Su Yanying and Lan Lele were startled when they heard Su Ping’s exorbitant demand. They couldn’t help but glance at Su Ping. And this is just to get in line?

They thought that Su Ping had been nefarious enough. But, he could be even worse. This was daylight robbery!

Before Su Ping opened his mouth, he had asked the system inwardly and got the answer he wanted.

The system was only responsible for keeping a close eye on the cost of the service in the store. It didn’t care about anything else.

For example, the grat.i.tude fee and the queuing fee were all things Su Ping could arrange and decide for himself.

However, the system would not help to convert the extra money Su Ping collected into energy. Therefore, money was just money.

Although money could not be used to buy items from the system store, money was very useful in the Federation, nearly omnipotent in fact. Just as Lan Lele had said, you could buy anything with enough money. This included the things in warehouses. With enough money, one could also spend money to hire settlers to buy them with merit points before trading with them.

Su Ping had come up with this idea at the last minute. He didn’t expect it to work. This could be considered as taking advantage of the system’s loopholes. After all, the system’s prices were too rigid; loopholes could be found in rigidness. Humans happened to be the most cunning creatures, able to exploit such loopholes.

What pained Su Ping was not having thought of this sooner. Otherwise, he could have gotten more money from Su Yanying.

However, Su Yanying didn’t even have the money for the nurturing. He couldn’t get much from a poor person.

Su Ping glanced at Su Yanying, who was standing next to him.

“???”

Su Yanying was baffled.

Why did she feel like she was being despised?

“One hundred thousand?” Ye Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Ping’s words. He gave him a strange look. It wasn’t that he found it strange to be asked for money, nor did he find it very exorbitant. On the contrary, he felt that the pricing was too low.

To be able to cultivate a low-level Lightning Rat to such a level, it had to be done by a master trainer.

As for the store that had a master trainer, the queuing fee was only a hundred thousand?

Was a hundred thousand even considered money?

In his eyes, that was not the case.

As far as he knew, those well-known pet shops with a master trainer needed years to make an advanced appointment. If they wanted to cut the queue, they would need at least a few hundred thousand. If they were to directly cut the queue to the front of the line, they would need at least a million.

“No problem.” Ye Hao immediately nodded his head. As he agreed, he glanced at Su Yanying and then at Lan Lele beside her. Although 100,000 wasn’t money to him, it was a little foolish to give it w.i.l.l.y-nilly. He thought that Lan Lele’s family was rich after all, so everything they said could be trusted.

Su Ping was stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Hao agree so readily. He regretted it immediately.

When a man is poor, his ambition isn’t far-reaching!
