Chapter 113 - Mysterious Realm (1/2)
While students of all grades were discussing the new advanced teacher, Su Ping was in Dong Mingsong’s office, saying his farewells for the day.
“Why are you rus.h.i.+ng back?” Dong Mingsong was surprised that Su Ping was leaving right after the lecture.
“I have to take care of the store,” Su Ping replied. He had to go back and continue the pet training Even though the dummy function for pet training was available, he had to manually select the new pets for the following training batch. The function wasn’t fully automated.
Dong Mingsong understood after Su Ping mentioned the store. He remembered the Wind Fruit he bought for the store. A glow flashed through Dong Mingsong’s eyes when he asked with antic.i.p.ation, “Now that I recall, you can train pets in your store, right? Can you help train my pets? You can name the price.”
Su Ping threw him a look and shook his head. “I don’t accept advanced pets for the time being.”
Given Dong Mingsong’s strength, his pets were most likely of the advanced rank. He wasn’t Su Ping’s target customer right then.
Dong Mingsong was a bit disappointed to hear those words. Yet, on second thought, he could see the reason.
He believed it was probably because that top-level trainer behind Su Ping had not yet recovered from his wounds and was unwilling to get in touch with battle pet warriors who were too powerful, as another way to keep his ident.i.ty hidden…
Dong Mingsong heaved a sigh inside and expressed his understanding, “No problem. Do let me know if you can train them in the future. I will be waiting. Take it as me already making a reservation. Remember to come to me first.”
Su Ping gave him an odd look. Dong Mingsong sounded as if he knew the rules of the store.
“Sure.” Su Ping then left after saying goodbye.
Feng Yanjing sent him away. Su Ping went downstairs, took out his keys to unlock the bike and waved Feng Yanjing goodbye. Then, he rode back the way he had come from. At the gate, the doormen didn’t stop him this time. They knew who he was now.
After about half an hour, Su Ping returned to the store.
The first thing he did was to summon the Inferno Dragon and Little Skeleton to put them back in the nursing pens.
Previously, both had been resting in the nursing pens when they were summoned by him.
The Antiquity Pet Contract was different from the modern Astral Power Contract. Su Ping’s pets didn’t have to stay in the contract s.p.a.ce to be summoned. As long as they were within a certain range, they could be pulled into the contract s.p.a.ce through the power of the contract and then summoned somewhere else.
However, once they returned to the contract s.p.a.ce, they couldn’t return to the nursing pens on their own. Su Ping felt sorry for having wasted almost two hours of nursing pens’ time.
After he settled down the two pets, he pulled up the window to the cultivation planes. He chose the second batch of pets from the nursing pens and used the dummy to train them.
While he was selecting, all of a sudden, he noticed a pet that he had never seen in one of the nursing pens. It was a snakelet of the pet named Purple Python which had sixth-rank bloodline.
Noticing the broken eggsh.e.l.ls in the nursing slot, Su Ping realized that this was the egg that had come out from the second level Spirit Pool for Incubation.
At the very best, a second level Spirit Pool for Incubation could breed advanced pets. He wasn’t blessed with the best of luck. That being said, it was a good deal to have a sixth-rank pet bred with one hundred energy points, i.e. 10,000 coins.
“Purple Python, a pet that is kind of common. No wonder I didn’t find its information. I overestimated it,” Su Ping said to himself.
This was a pet skilled in combat. Compared to pets of the dragon, demon, and element families, pets of the combat family were generally much weaker. Most of such pets had limited abilities. It was only their pure strength that was shocking.
Take this Purple Python for example. It wasn’t highly toxic. The only advantage was its strength. The Purple Python had few pet skills, merely two, namely Python Entangle and Snake Bite, which were inherited skills. If this Purple Python had a good apt.i.tude, it could learn other skills such as Snake Roll and Lurking.
But compared to the other pets, those skills were not worth mentioning.
At the moment, the Purple Python had just hatched. The purple and cyan dots on its scales weren’t connected yet. The Purple Python was only as long as an adult’s arm. It curled up in the nursing slot and its scales would move up and down now and then as if breathing. The Purple Python was enjoying the anima in the nursing pens.
Su Ping observed it. It suddenly hit him that he needed a middle-rank pet to unlock the service of advanced pets’ training. The worse the pet was, the easier it would be for the pet to be trained to an above-average rating. This Purple Python seemed like a suitable choice.
Su Ping didn’t act on it right away, though. He went back to select other pets for the next training batch.
Su Ping went back to the store when the dummy began the training. He cultivated and watched the store while he pulled up the cultivation sites to see if there was any place suitable for the Purple Python.
After the previous training, he had learned that the right cultivation site could make the pet training more effective.
A customer arrived shortly after.
Su Ping closed the window. It was a returning customer.
“Sir, I’m here for my Fantasy Beast.” It was Gu Beichen. He seemed to be in a bad mood. He had shown up just to take his Fantasy Beast back. As for the training effect, he had no expectations at all; he thought he would just consider it a day’s boarding service.
It was expensive. But the Bloodsoul Bead and the Devils’ Bones he managed to buy had covered this loss.
“Sure.” Su Ping was happy since Gu Beichen had been on time. “I will get it for you. Wait a moment.”
