Chapter 97 - Pool Level Up (1/2)

Yu Yuanyuan followed her friend’s hint; she checked the goods on sale, rubbed her eyes, and looked again to make sure that she wasn’t seeing more zeros than there actually were.

“Which pet do you have in mind?” Su Ping stood up and walked around the counter.

Yu Yuanyuan looked at the approaching man again. She would have run already if she wasn’t born braver than her friends.

“Ahem, Mister! I want to get a really bad-a.s.s pet trained here. But it’s bad-tempered, I wonder if you can handle it. And for how much.”

“Ten thousand for low-rank, and a hundred thousand for middle-rank.” Su Ping offered a friendly smile.

That smile only made her think it was the c.o.c.ky smirk of a scheming broker in Yu Yuanyuan’s view, even though such a price wasn’t too far from her comfort zone. When checking the goods on sale, she expected to hear more insane numbers than that.

“How much did you charge for training that Lightning Rat?”

Su Ping’s smile disappeared. “One million.”

The girls were surprised but soon recovered because a million was pretty cheap in exchange for such a deadly Lightning Rat.

She needed to make sure Su Ping was speaking the truth, though.

“You know which Lightning Rat I’m talking about, right?” asked Yu Yuanyuan. “Do you know who’s its master?”

Su Ping gave her a side-glance. “I’m obliged to protect the privacy of my customers but… I can tell you this: she’s from the Phoenix Peak Academy. Miss Su.”

Yu Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. “What can my pet gain if I pay ten thousand?”

“Ten thousand, huh? It’s hard to say. There will be some sort of improvement, that I can a.s.sure you. Either a rank, half a rank, or battle experience. Either way, your pet will be better than before.” Su Ping returned to his seat while speaking.

Woah, he lost interest already, the girls thought. Talk about businessmen…

They were curious to find out what the result of the training would be. They might not be able to raise a million even if they worked together, but paying ten thousand was not as problematic.

“I’ll put a middle-rank plus a low-rank pet here,” said Yu Yuanyuan.

Her partner, who seemed pretty timid, also spoke up, “I—I’ll also leave a pet here. My Spider Queen.”

Spider Queen?? Su Ping glanced at the second girl again. For such a cutie to use that kind of scary pet? Don’t tell me this girl has a personality disorder or something.

He wasn’t going to refuse the business, though. “That’ll be two hundred ‘n ten thousand for both of you.”

“Sure.” Yu Yuanyuan nodded and paid as she asked. “How long do we need to wait?”

“Come tomorrow.”

Su Ping smiled brightly as he had just earned 2,100 energy points on his account. His advertis.e.m.e.nt tactic was paying off!
