Chapter 101 - Elite Pet Warrior League (1/2)
Just as planned, the second group of customers were ready when he returned with the third group of pets. After sensing four individuals—three men and a woman-standing outside, Su Ping unlocked the door and told them to come in.
He expected the customers to question the reliability of his training, which indeed happened. He wasn’t going to waste his breath explaining though. Letting them see their pets for themselves would be enough.
After being released from Su Ping’s temporary contract, the pets dashed into their owners’ arms like bunnies set free. Even one that wasn’t so friendly before was nudging its master as if its life depended on it.
One of the customers, a young man wearing riches from head to toe, gave Su Ping an angry look. “What did you exactly do to my pet? You have some explaining to do, sir.”
This man was at the ninth place on the academy’s power ranking list. Seeing him questioning Su Ping, the other three followed suit by staring at him. Without speaking, Su Ping remotely ordered the young man’s pet to use the newly learned skill—Earthly Prison.
This pet was a supportive, plant-type Phantom Sika with a seventh-rank potential, and was usually good at using illusions and healing. While it was still enjoying the reunion with its master, Su Ping’s will invaded its mind and rekindled its worst nightmare, causing it to unleash Earthly Prison right away. It didn’t know why it listened to a stranger’s order, and it didn’t care.
The floor and walls of the shop started quaking, before a large number of thick vines came shooting out of random spots and filled up the room like spider webs, trapping everyone in a narrow s.p.a.ce.
The customers watched the amazing and dangerous display with great surprise. The vines could easily squeeze them to death if they grew any further.
Lu Pengfei, as the master of the deer, knew better than anyone what his pet was capable of. Earthly Prison was a very useful and large-scale crowd control skill, while his deer was mainly a “healer” pet. There was no way it could use Earthly Prison unless…
“Mister Su? Did you teach my pet that skill?”
“Why would it be otherwise?”
Lu Pengfei trembled in excitement upon hearing that answer. Within a day, his pet deer had mastered a middle-rank skill used for effectively trapping enemies.
This guy is a master trainer, if not the best one I’ve ever heard of!
They all realized that the rumors about this shop were true. As long as they paid, their pets could become as strong as Su Yanying’s Lightning Rat.
The woman with a pointy jaw asked next, “I can see his deer has grown. But what about our pets?”
Su Ping ordered two of the remaining three pets to show off their new skills, who obeyed him immediately.
Those skills were all common middle-rank ones, though the result was more than good since the pets had only gone through one training session. Su Ping looked at the last customer whose pet had yet to do anything. “Your Ice Gecko learned the ‘Tidal Wave’ skill, so I can’t show inside the store. Try it somewhere else and come back if you have any questions.”
The Ice Gecko was of the lower third-rank. Tidal Wave did not help it reach the same level as Su Yanying’s Lightning Rat, but it was quite enough as an improvement.
No one doubted Su Ping’s words. There was no reason to.
“Can you keep training my pet, sir?” asked Lu Pengfei, as he gave Su Ping a yearning look.
“Only once per day. You can come again tomorrow.”
“Sure, sure!” Lu Pengfei scratched his head when he remembered his oppressive stance toward Su Ping moments before. “Please forgive my previous att.i.tude. I really shouldn’t have done that.”
“Hmph.”
Lu Pengfei was visibly stressed out because he thought Su Ping had not forgiven him.
Oh fu*k. I should have stayed quiet back there and let another one ask the question! Me and my big ego!
The truth was, Su Ping didn’t mind Lu Pengfei’s rudeness at all. It was just that, saying “hmph” with his nose was quicker and easier than saying “it’s okay.” “Heh heh… Sir, please accept this 50,000 coins. Consider it my apology,” Lu Pengfei said as he handed some more cash to Su Ping. It was the only solution he could think of.
Su Ping took the money without much of a thought. Extra money was always welcome.
The other three people copied Lu Pengfei’s move since they didn’t want to fall behind and lose their chances of hiring Su Ping’s services again.
“Mister Su, take this as a token of grat.i.tude…”
“Me too!” “And this!”
An extra 30,000 deposited.
Su Ping on the other hand, did wish that the customers used the money to buy his service instead, since getting paid this way didn’t help him get more energy points.
These students’ finances seemed to be tight. He didn’t want to see them go broke too soon.
“Just this once. If you want to spend more money, do it for your pets.” “Of course, sir!” The customers had just realized that what they paid Su Ping in extra meant nothing to a master trainer who could easily earn millions from big clients. Su Ping was already doing them a big favor by offering a cheap service.
“Mister Su, can I buy that special training for my pet?” asked Lu Pengfei. “Like the same one you gave the Lightning Rat. How much is it, a million?”
