Chapter 310 - Cyborg Pet (1/2)

Chapter 310 Cyborg Pet

The next day. It was the final selection.

Su Ping had to leave the store to drive Su Lingyue to the venue, so he had to leave Joanna behind to be the “acting boss.” Of course, he merely gave her authorization verbally; it wasn’t validated by the system.

Her only role was to open the door, receive customers who went to pick up their pets, return the pets and also act as the cas.h.i.+er. She could also receive some customers who went to have their pets trained.

After all, those were the activities an employee should do. It was just that Su Ping had taken on everything by himself.

Since Joanna came along, Su Ping was able to leave the store occasionally. The store could keep running. However, he still had to open up the access to the cultivation sites to train the pets himself and that was the core secret of the store.

Soon, Su Ping had driven Su Lingyue to the venue in the uptown area.

The venue for the finals was at the Kings Zone.

The name itself indicated that this wasn’t some random zone. The Kings Zone was the economic hub for the uptown area and the most prosperous place. It was the most flouris.h.i.+ng zone in the base city, other than the First Zone where the munic.i.p.al government was located.

In this place, an inch of land was worth an inch of gold. Wealthy people abounded in the Kings Zone. If you walked on the streets and randomly grabbed a few people, all of them would turn out to be rich.

At the same time, the established controls were strict. Surveillance cameras were set up everywhere. Therefore, riots were a rare occurrence in this place.

To be able to win the bid to host the finals, the Kings Zone’s economy would rise further.

There was a large number of congested streets in the Kings Zone where traffic jams were commonplace. It was a fact that all the rich had cars, and some had more than one. The civilians who worked and lived there also had petty bourgeois taste and would buy low-grade cars which were affordable for them. Besides, those of a lower social cla.s.s were more likely to drive cars.

They were always eager to drive their cars, even if they were only going grocery shopping at a place two hundred meters away from their homes.

Adding the partic.i.p.ants and the audience visiting the venue, the streets had become fully packed.

“There are several times more people than yesterday.”

Su Ping drove the car along a street with less traffic. He shook his head as he looked at the next lane on which the cars were barely moving

“More than yesterday? You came here yesterday?” Su Lingyue asked in surprise.

“I toured around the place.”

Su Ping stepped on the gas to speed up.

On the other lane where the traffic was jammed, someone was honking like crazy and some were sticking their heads out of the window to look.

“Are you going or not?”

“Stop dawdling. d.a.m.n it. Is it some female driver stopping her car for no reason again?”

“Honey, why don’t we go there? There’s no traffic on that lane!”

“That is a designated lane for explorers and higher-ups. We’d be expelled from that lane as soon as we get onto it and our license will be canceled forever.”

“Seriously? Why can explorers use it? They’ve done nothing other than killing some beasts out there. Big deal…”

“There, there. Be patient.”

Driving along the designated lane, Su Ping soon arrived at the venue.

He had to admit that the venue in the uptown area was different. Outside the venue was a huge plaza where crowds had gathered. Many entertainment attractions had also been set up as well, as some high-resolution screens for people outside the venue to enjoy the battles.

Su Lingyue had thought that she had seen it all in the previous matches but at this moment, she suddenly became nervous.

She could see densely packed crowds across the plaza. The thought that she would go up to the stage and all those people would see her battles, details and all, filled her with oppressing worries. Su Ping didn’t comfort her. She had to learn to adjust her mood. “This way.”

Su Ping showed Su Lingyue to the partic.i.p.ant’s corridor where there were fewer people.

Some advanced battle pet warriors were guarding the access. They seemed young but cruel. They weren’t people to be messed with.

They checked Su Lingyue’s credentials and allowed the two in.

“Do you know the rules for today?” Su Ping asked.

Su Lingyue nodded. “First is the test to select the Top 1000 directly. The others will be eliminated. Afterward is the actual match. The first round is a challenge match, similar to before.” Su Ping nodded. She had done her homework.

“You must be careful during the test,” Su Ping cautioned her, “That is the only place where the Liu Family is likely to pull off some tricks.” The test would not be visible to the audience. It would be professional staff and equipment that would handle the test.

That was why some untoward deeds could happen.

Su Lingyue suddenly remembered that other than focusing on the matches, she would have to look out for any backstabbing. “I understand. I’ll be careful.”

Su Ping nodded to her. Before they went there, he had also given her the lantern he obtained from the dragon scale lands to protect her from spiritual attacks.

He had a better device for himself and no longer needed the lantern. He would rather let her have it just in case.

There was a test room at the end of the corridor.

All the partic.i.p.ants that came from the corridor would have to go into the room for the test.
