While Su Ping finished training the third batch of pets, the masters of the second batch of pets were waiting outside the store.
Before Su Ping opened the door, he sensed some people lingering outside. He opened the shutter door and saw four young students, three boys and one girl. "Come in," he said to them.
The four who had been waiting anxiously were startled to see Su Ping open the door. They hurried over. The short and impatient boy said, "Sir, you said our pets were trained. Is that true? I just gave them to you this morning! "
It was the same thing again. Su Ping was used to this. He didn't change his facial expression and he didn't say anything. He just called out the four pets of the second batch and told them to go back to their masters.
The four pets almost burst into tears when they saw their masters. After Su Ping let them go, the four pets ran back to their masters as if they had escaped from a demon's den. Some of the pets that had been disgusted by their previous masters felt that their former masters were so kind and amiable, like little angels.
The four pets huddled in their masters' arms and rubbed against each other affectionately.
The four of them were relieved to see that their pets were safe and sound. Then, they became angry. One of the young men wearing branded clothes said to Su Ping coldly, "Sir, what's going on?" He asked Su Ping coldly, as if he were demanding an explanation.
The other three knew who this young man was. He was the ninth on the academy's combat strength ranking. At the moment, they were following his lead and glaring at Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't bother to reply. He just told the pet by his feet to use the Hundred Wood Dungeon that it had just learned.
This was a Forest Illusion Deer of the plant family with a seventh-rank bloodline. It had both healing and illusion abilities and was a powerful assistant pet. At the moment, the Forest Illusion Deer was at the intermediate position of the fourth rank. The Forest Illusion Deer was still immersed in the emotion of reuniting with its master. All of a sudden, a foreign thought intruded into the Forest Illusion Deer's mind, waking the Forest Illusion Deer up from its sweet dream. That familiar thought made the Forest Illusion Deer tremble. No one knew what kind of nightmare the Forest Illusion Deer had been through that day!
Hundred Wood Dungeon?
It didn't think much about it and instinctively used it, although it didn't know why it had to obey this voice. It was no longer its master.
However, it didn't want to recall what had happened that day, and it didn't dare to resist.
The ground shook violently. Vines grew out from the wooden floor and the wooden cabinets, filling up the empty store in an instant. The vines intertwined like a spider web, entangling everyone and their pets in the store. The vines could constrict everyone with a gentle pull.
The four people were all stunned, staring blankly at this scene.
The Forest Illusion Deer's master was the most shocked of all. Lu Pengfei was dumbfounded. He was very familiar with his Forest Illusion Deer's skills, but he had never heard of the Hundred Wood Dungeon before. Besides, this was a Forest Illusion Deer, a pet that had only learned illusions and healing skills. How come it had learned a plant control skill?
What kind of training did it undergo to allow it to comprehend such a skill?
Lu Pengfei came back to his senses. He asked Su Ping in a daze, "Sir, did you train it for me?"
"Of course." Su Ping darted a glance at him.
Lu Pengfei was trembling with excitement after receiving Su Ping's answer. In just one afternoon, Su Ping had trained his Forest Illusion Deer and learned a middle-level control skill that was unlikely to be learned by the average Forest Illusion Deer. That was impressive!
There must be a master trainer here, one of the best!
Previously, when Su Ping mentioned the general training, Su Ping was just testing the waters to see if the Lightning Rat was real or not. Judging by the current situation, that freakish Lightning Rat definitely came from this place. That also meant that as long as he paid the money, he could train a Lightning Rat that was just as terrifying!
The other three people were stunned to see Lu Pengfei trembling with excitement. They seemed to have realized something from his reaction. The girl with a long face asked, "Sir, did he train his pet successfully? What about our pets? "
The other two were looking at Su Ping with anticipation and nervousness.
Su Ping kept a straight face. He sent a telepathic message to two of the pets. Like the Forest Illusion Deer, the two pets did not have the courage to disobey Su Ping even though they were not contracted. After all, they had just come out from the Forest Illusion Deer and the huge shadow was still hanging over their heads. They had yet to recover from the shock and they obeyed out of instinct.
Soon, the two pets displayed different skills. Both were middle-level pet skills. While the skills were not rare, they had learned a new skill. It was already impressive that one training session could produce such an effect.
The girl with a long face and the other young man were relieved. They were thrilled.
This was not a loss. They had made a killing!
"Sir, what about me?" The other young man asked anxiously. Since his pet hadn't changed at all, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Su Ping answered, "Your Cold Water Lizard has learned the 'Wave' skill. It is inconvenient for you to use it in my store. Go and find a battleground to test it. Come to me if you have any questions."
"Wave?" The young man was overjoyed. His Cold Water Lizard only had a third-rank bloodline while the Wave skill was a middle-level pet skill. That being the case, his Cold Water Lizard could be said to have a great aptitude.
Of course, it was still not comparable to the freakish Lightning Rat in the academy.
That being said, the young man was already satisfied.
He had seen the abilities of Lu Pengfei's Forest Illusion Deer and the other two pets. He had no doubts about Su Ping's words.
"Sir, can I continue the training?" Lu Pengfei asked at once. He looked at Su Ping eagerly.
Su Ping answered calmly, "Once a day. If you want more training, come back tomorrow."
"Sure." Lu Pengfei nodded obediently. Then, he remembered his previous attitude. He scratched his head and said with embarrassment, "Sir, I was rude. Please don't mind me."
"Hmm," Su Ping replied calmly.
Lu Pengfei was nervous. So, Su Ping was offended? He regretted that he had been in the limelight. Why did he have to be so pretentious? It would have been better if someone else had said those words. Now, he had offended someone!
Lu Pengfei kept changing his expression as he tried to think of a way to remedy the situation.
Su Ping knew that Lu Pengfei was overthinking things. Lu Pengfei didn't mind at all. However, he had to move his mouth to say "I don't mind." He only had to say "Hmm" in a nasal voice, which was simpler. Therefore, Su Ping had chosen the latter.
That being said, it would be too troublesome to explain. He had to ignore Lu Pengfei.
"Sir, here is fifty thousand as a thank you fee." After a moment of thought, Lu Pengfei suddenly took out some money. This was the only way he could think of to remedy the situation.
Su Ping was surprised but he didn't turn it down. He accepted the money gladly.
Only a fool would turn down the money.
The other three realized what Lu Pengfei was doing. There was a top trainer in the store. The money they had spent was a small amount for a top trainer. If they offended the top trainer, they didn't know if they could still be trained in the future!
The three of them were nervous. The long-faced girl was the first to react. Following Lu Pengfei's example, she also took out ten thousand and gave it to Su Ping. "Sir, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
"Sir, this is mine."
"Me too."
The three of them gave ten thousand each to please Su Ping.
"Well." Su Ping didn't expect to receive extra money. As a matter of fact, he didn't really need the money that couldn't be converted into energy points. Tens of thousands would be enough to cover his family's expenses. He would rather have the students keep the extra money and place orders in the store. After all, while his training business was profitable for those students, paying ten thousand or a hundred thousand each time was not something that some small bourgeois families could afford.
Besides, those students hadn't found jobs yet. They were poor and had no way to make money. Sooner or later, they would be squeezed dry.
"You don't have to pay me anymore. It's better to spend the money on your pets," Su Ping hinted after he took the money.
"Yes, yes. Sir, you're right." The four nodded. They respected Su Ping even more. They agreed. Su Ping was a store with a top trainer. Of course, he wouldn't care about their money. It was easy for top trainers to make money. Su Ping could get more than seven figures just by waving his hand. He was clearly doing them a favor and doing them a favor!
They were both respectful and fearful of such a person of noble character and unquestionable integrity.
"Sir, can I buy professional training, the kind for Lightning Rats? One million," Lu Pengfei asked gingerly when he saw that Su Ping had regained his composure.
Su Ping was intrigued. His Celestial Pig could get professional training only because its owner had angered the system. The system had issued a mission for the pig, which was why the pig was given the chance. At the moment, Su Ping asked the system in his mind, "Can I take another professional training order?"
"Professional training is a privilege granted to the third level store. If the host wants to receive it, please upgrade the store to the third level first," the system said.
Su Ping felt sorry. Sure enough, he only had one chance for professional training at the moment.
But this was good. Just finishing the training mission for the Celestial Pig was already stressful. It was not easy to train another Lightning Rat. After all, he didn't have the ticket to a top-level cultivation site and he didn't have an unlimited number of deaths. He didn't know if the energy points he had saved up would be enough.
"Not for now," Su Ping refused.
Lu Pengfei was disappointed. But he noticed that Su Ping said "for now". He asked at once, "Can you do it in the future?"
"Yes." Su Ping nodded.
Lu Pengfei was overjoyed. He would be happy as long as there was still a chance. Besides, it would be difficult for him to fork out one million at the moment. He could use this time to save money and think about which pet to train.
"Thank you, sir," Lu Pengfei said with respect.
Su Ping nodded. The four expressed their gratitude and saw them out of the store.
Before they left, Su Ping told the Forest Illusion Deer to put away the Dungeon of Hundred Trees. The vines retracted back into the floor and the wooden cabinets. The store went back to normal.
After they left, Su Ping called the owners of the third batch of pets. While waiting, he didn't continue with the training. Instead, he sat down in the store and took a rest. He had been in the cultivation site for three days. He was so exhausted that he didn't even want to talk.
Soon, the owners of the third batch of pets arrived one after another. Every one of them had the same questions, or rather, questions. Su Ping didn't say much. He just threw the pets to them and told them to use their skills.
In the end, the four pets that escaped from Su Ping's evil hands dragged their masters away while their masters kept apologizing and thanking Su Ping. They hoped that they would never come back here again.
In the afternoon, more customers came to Su Ping's store.
Su Ping leaned against the counter to cultivate astral powers. He glanced over and saw two familiar faces. "Vice Principal?" He was surprised. "Vice Principal? Mr. Luo? "
It was Dong Mingsong and Luo Guxue.
The two of them came together from the academy. One of them wanted to talk to Su Ping about something and get closer to him. The other one was there to thank Su Ping for saving her life and to take care of Su Ping's business.
"This is your store?" Luo Guxue looked around the store. She was surprised. The store was small and the location was remote. Given Su Ping's strength, it should have been easy for him to make money. He should have been able to rent a large store in a prime location.
Could it be that Su Ping was just running a pet store for fun and he didn't want to make money from it?
Luo Guxue thought so. But she was curious about the rumors about the Lightning Rat in the academy. She had seen the Lightning Rat fight. The Lightning Rat was ferocious. In the barren area, she had seen the Little Skeleton in Su Ping's hands. The Little Skeleton was even more ferocious. It could even kill a Magical Corpse Beast at the upper position of the eighth rank.
Both the Lightning Rat and the Little Skeleton were low-rank pets. But their strengths were not compatible with each other. Everything seemed to have something to do with Su Ping. Were they all from his pet store?
If that were the case, then Su Ping's store must have a top-level master trainer. But there were few people in the store. Business seemed to be a bit slow. If there were a top-level master trainer in the store, the store wouldn't be in such a miserable state. There would be a long line that stretched out to the street.
Dong Mingsong took a quick look around the store. He had the same idea as Luo Guxue but he didn't show it. Instead, he looked around and said with a smile, "Mr. Su's store is indeed extraordinary. The decoration is stylish. One look and I can tell that it was made by a master trainer. Look at that chair. It's long and hard. The angle of the chair, well, well, how artistic …"
Even someone as thick-skinned as Su Ping couldn't bear to hear this boasting. "Vice Principal, is there anything I can help you with?" Su Ping asked grumpily.
Luo Guxue said, "I made an appointment with the Vice Principal to come here today. I heard that you have a top-level master trainer in your store. Is that true?" Luo Guxue's eyes glowed as she spoke. A top-level master trainer was even more powerful than a titled battle pet warrior, second only to a legendary battle pet warrior. Every top-level master trainer was a big shot that was rich and well-connected. Even someone like Luo Guxue had to treat them with caution.
"Something like that." Su Ping didn't deny it. He had learned about the situation of trainers in the Federation. The effect of the training in his store was comparable to that of a top-level master trainer. As for professional training, even top-level master trainers would find it difficult to do so unless they spent a long time on it.
Both Luo Guxue and Dong Mingsong were surprised by Su Ping's admission. Then, they were delighted. Meeting a top-level master trainer was a precious opportunity for them. Luo Guxue was pleasantly surprised. "Then, can we ask him to train our pets for us?"
As an advanced battle pet warrior, she knew more. She was more in awe of top-level master trainers than the other students who had never seen much of the world.
The more they knew about the world, the more they were afraid and in awe.
Dong Mingsong looked at Su Ping expectantly. He was thinking more than Luo Guxue. If there was a master trainer behind Su Ping, then Su Ping's identity would be extraordinary. It could be what Dong Mingsong was imagining.
Ever since Su Ping had left the academy the day before, he had immediately used his connections and relied on his friends from all walks of life to obtain the most detailed information about Su Ping in just one night, including which hospital he had been born in, the name of the doctor who had delivered him, the measurements of the nurses who had accompanied him, the color of his underwear that night, and so on.
However, Dong Mingsong still felt that something was amiss after reading all the details.
Based on the results of the investigation, Su Ping didn't come from a big family, as Dong Mingsong had thought. He came from an average family, not even rich. Besides, Su Ping was just an ordinary person. His astral powers were acquired. Su Ping had never shown his astral powers. Therefore, no one knew when he had awakened his astral powers.
Dong Mingsong admired Su Ping for that. But at the same time, he was afraid. A young man in his teens had known how to hide his strength since he was a kid, and he had done it so well. That was proof enough that Su Ping was much more scheming than his peers.
A simple genius could die young and need more training. But a genius as shrewd and cunning as Su Ping was horrifying!
Dong Mingsong thought about it over and over again. He thought about the Lightning Rat and came up with a possibility.
Su Ping, who was born in an average family, had awakened his astral powers by chance. He had received help from a top master trainer and had been cultivating in secret. It was also possible that the master trainer was seriously ill and dying. He had no choice but to take Su Ping as his heir. It was even possible that the master trainer had been set up by his enemy and was being hunted by his enemy. That was why he couldn't expose his whereabouts … Well, that was how it usually went in TV scripts.
Su Ping was like the main character in those stories.
Dong Mingsong was enlightened after hearing Su Ping's admission. He admired his own wisdom. At the same time, he looked at Su Ping expectantly, hoping that Su Ping could introduce them to that master trainer.
"Sure." Su Ping replied to Luo Guxue. He noticed the strange look on the Vice Principal's face. He seemed to be looking forward to meeting Luo Guxue, but at the same time, he seemed to be intoxicated by something. Su Ping said, "But today's business is full. You can come tomorrow if you want."
"Business is full?" Luo Guxue was confused but she didn't ask any questions. It was normal for master trainers to have few customers. Asking questions would only offend Su Ping. Luo Guxue nodded. "Okay. I will come tomorrow."
Dong Mingsong made a mental note of the time. He said to Su Ping, "Mr. Su Ping, I am here to invite you to teach at the academy as soon as possible." Dong Mingsong emphasized the word "as soon as possible" to make it clear that he didn't mean to disturb the master trainer behind Su Ping, nor did he want to sound him out. He had something else to do.
Su Ping found Dong Mingsong's tone strange but he didn't think too much about it. "Didn't you say that I would teach once a week? Why as soon as possible?"
Su Ping didn't sound friendly. They had signed the contract and Dong Mingsong was making more demands. Dong Mingsong was a bully.
Dong Mingsong was experienced in the ways of the world. He immediately sensed Su Ping's thoughts and knew that Su Ping had misunderstood. "Here's the thing. The Elite Pet Trainer League is about to begin. The winter vacation will start in half a month. When the winter vacation ends, the Elite Pet Trainer League will begin. There are some promising students among our students, such as Su Yanying who came to your store and Ye Hao who you saw yesterday. They all have the potential to achieve good results in the Elite Pet Trainer League.
"Therefore, the last half a month is the only time that the academy can help them. Apart from Mr. Su, the other four advanced teachers will also teach two classes a week. Of course, as we have agreed in the contract, the academy will compensate Mr. Su and the other four advanced teachers for the extra classes."
