Chapter 272 - Fourth-rank Pool (1/2)

Sighing and groaning, customers left one by one.

Of course, Su Ping knew that people would resent him after having queued for so long, for nothing. There was nothing he could do. As for the proper person to deliver his apology, Su Ping thought of someone. “Tang, say goodbye to the customers. Be nice.”

Tang Ruyan persuaded herself to endure the humiliation. She had to be humble when she was trapped in an inferior situation.

She worked up a smile and bid farewell to the customers one after one.

Acting according to circ.u.mstances was something she had been practicing since she was a kid. But ever since her status rose in the family, she had never done it again. No one was worthy of her smiles, except for some senior people and the higher-ups in the family.

Again, information that Pixie had closed went viral on the internet, causing another round of heated discussion.

Before, people would usually have the view that the Pixie Pet Store had merely said the crazy words about the “champions.h.i.+p package” because the store owner had lost all hope. However, the fact that the store closed in the middle of the day changed many people’s views.

If the store owner had lost all hope, he wouldn’t have used this hunger marketing again. He would have tried his best to dredge for money.

He closed the store in the day and said that all the spots had been taken. He was calm, not seeming to value money. As such, a group of people was at the moment thinking that the Pixie Pet Store was not in desperation like they had a.s.sumed; the store owner seemed able to take it easy.

It looked as if the store owner had never taken the compet.i.tion against Primo seriously. He enjoyed himself while the storm was raging outside.

Many people had s.h.i.+fted their opinions about the Pixie Pet Store. They began to think that the store owner was capable. Su Ping didn’t know that closing the store would become a trending topic online again and that this could eliminate some of the negative reviews online.

He closed the door and called the Inferno Dragon back.

Tang Ruyan was told to go back to the scroll.

Tang Ruyan was unwilling. Nevertheless, Su Ping “helped” her in.

Su Ping didn’t go to train the pets right away. Instead, he went to the room with the Chaos Spirit Pool.

He pushed the door open. The first thing leaping to his eyes was the vast starry sky.

ds

The ground was barely visible. A well was suspended in the middle of the room as if floating in the universe.

“What is that??”

Joanna followed him in. When she saw the inside, she could no longer keep the calm look that was on her face all day long.

She felt that this room contained an independent s.p.a.ce. Once she stepped through the door, she would be in the boundless universe that she was seeing.

How could someone place the universe inside this small room?!

This view astonished Joanna. Even for a Superior G.o.d, seizing a piece of the universe would not be easy. Only those with a profound and extensive understanding of the laws of s.p.a.ce could be capable of such deeds! As far as she knew, merely those in the Archean Divinity could do this!

Su Ping stepped into the room as if walking amongst the stars. He didn’t try to hide this from Joanna who was connected to the store as an employee. She wouldn’t harm him even if she wanted to, unless he fired her as an employee.

“Upgrade,” Su Ping said to himself. The digit indicating the energy points decreased from 1.3 million to 0.3 million immediately.

To upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool to the fourth rank, he had to use one million energy points.

That was equal to one hundred million coins.

Of course, the value of this upgrade could not be a.s.sessed with money. For the system, money was just a tool to evaluate how the store was running, a mere measurement with no practical use.

Su Ping could have easily made one hundred million from any other channel but to make this money through the store was less easy considering all the restrictions. Luckily, given the s.p.a.ce and fame of the store, collecting about half a million energy points daily was a piece of cake.

With energy pouring into the well, a dazzling ray of light suddenly burst out from the Chaos Spirit Pool. By the edge, complicated and mysterious patterns emerged and fell in Joanna’s view, who was standing behind Su Ping. This… was the divine pattern?

Joanna stood there still in amazement.

At the same time, she had picked up a familiar sense in the well.

It was something aged, and primitive. There was just a hint of this aura but its power was overwhelming.

Joanna was confused. This aura felt like divine energy but not at the same time. She had never sensed something like this before. Yet, she was sure that this aura contained everything she was longing for, including guidance for her to become a Superior G.o.d!

Soon, the golden patterns by the edge disappeared and everything went back to normal, except for the faint glow inside the well and the more delicate edge it had.

Su Ping was relieved when the system informed him that the upgrade had been completed. He began to check the Chaos Spirit Pool carefully.

The interface of the Chaos Spirit Pool appeared in his mind.

Several pieces of information were displayed.

Probability of breeding a beast kings… 60%. Probability of breeding a ninth-rank pet… 29.999%. Probability of breeding an eighth-rank pet… 0.001%.

Probability of failure… 10%.

Su Ping’s eyes glowed. He felt even his blood was coursing faster.

When the pool was at the third level, the probability of breeding beast kings was merely 10%.
