Chapter 117

Su Yanying hadn't been to Su Ping's store for days. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but … she didn't have enough money.

As soon as she stepped out of the store, she saw the long line in front of the door. She was startled. She didn't know that Su Ping's store would be so popular in just a few days.

While she was happy for Su Ping, she couldn't help but worry.

Would Su Ping … charge more when his business was booming and he had more customers?

Based on her understanding of Su Ping, the answer was obvious … yes!

She had just saved up a hundred thousand yuan, which was just enough. If the price went up, she would have to go back and raise more money.

She felt uneasy.

"Miss Su, I have a seat here."

"Miss Su, come to me. I'm closer to the front."

"…"

Su Yanying attracted the attention of many students as soon as she stepped out of the line.

Some of the students in the line would not miss this chance. They waved at Su Yanying and made way for her.

Of course, this attracted the jealous and ferocious glares of some females …

Su Yanying nodded at the students who greeted her with a smile. After some consideration, she chose a boy who was closer to the front and said thank you to him.

The boy grinned like a fat man who weighed a hundred pounds when he saw that Su Yanying had chosen him.

Su Ping noticed the commotion outside as well. He raised his eyebrows but didn't feel anything when he saw Su Yanying.

Soon, the people in front of him paid the fee and gave their pets to Su Ping. Soon, it was Su Yanying's turn.

"Mr. Su, I'm here again," Su Yanying greeted Su Ping in a well-behaved manner.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "Are you here to train your pet?"

"Yes."

"Did you bring enough money?"

"… I brought some."

Su Yanying looked at Su Ping carefully. "Is the price the same as before?"

"Of course."

Su Yanying was relieved. She put on a smile. "That's nice of you, sir. I'm here to train my Fallen Phoenix again."

She only had enough money to train one pet. She didn't choose the Lightning Rat because after the exhibition match, she felt she was not familiar with the Lightning Rat's abilities yet. She hadn't fully developed the Lightning Rat's abilities. Therefore, she was in no hurry to train the Lightning Rat.

The reason for choosing the Fallen Phoenix was simple. The Fallen Phoenix was the pet with the highest bloodline she had and it would have the greatest achievements in the future.

The Lightning Rat was the strongest at the moment. However, when the Fallen Phoenix reached adulthood, the Lightning Rat wouldn't be able to compete with the Fallen Phoenix. After all, the Fallen Phoenix had a low-rank bloodline, which meant that the Lightning Rat's potential was limited.

"Okay." Su Ping answered casually. It didn't matter to him what kind of pet she wanted to train. "The Fallen Phoenix is a middle-rank pet at the moment. The training fee is one hundred thousand."

Su Yanying was relieved to hear Su Ping's price. She transferred the money to Su Ping at once and then summoned the Fallen Phoenix.

The students in the line cried out in surprise when they saw this pet that had learned an eighth-rank skill. All of them craned their necks to take a closer look at this dazzling pet.

"I didn't know that the Fallen Phoenix was trained in Mr. Su's store as well."

"Impressive. No wonder the Fallen Phoenix can learn an eighth-rank skill."

"Why didn't I get to know Mr. Su earlier? Otherwise, the annual competition would have been my showcase!"

While the students were exclaiming, they could not help but sigh with regret.

Su Ping took the Fallen Phoenix to the pet room. The 25 nursing pens were already full. He had to put the Fallen Phoenix in the training space.

The store was at the second level and the number of nursing pens had increased to 50. Still, Su Ping didn't buy more. After all, his store was mainly focused on training services. Not many people would choose the nursing pens.

Back in the store, Su Ping collected the next student's pet and money.

Su Yanying wanted to exchange some pleasantries with Su Ping but she didn't want to disturb him since Su Ping was so busy. She stood there for a while and then left in silence.

"Is this a place for pet training?"

A young man stood in line. He approached Su Ping with curiosity in his eyes.

He took a look at Su Ping's store. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

A small store like this had a large number of students from the Phoenix Peak Academy waiting in line to send their pets to Su Ping's store for training.

Su Ping said, "Pets can be trained and nurtured. We also have pet rentals and pet food for sale. We have a lot of services. Which one do you want?"

While Su Ping was making the introduction, the other students in line finally realized that Su Ping's store didn't just offer pet training services. It also offered pet rentals.

"Sir, what kind of pets are you renting out? Do you have that Inferno Dragon?" A boy standing in line behind Su Ping asked in excitement.

The other students remembered the rumors in the academy. Their eyes glowed.

Renting out the Inferno Dragon?

Even if the Inferno Dragon was an infant with low combat abilities, it would still be cool to take it out for a stroll.

Su Ping darted a glance at the boy and said calmly, "The Inferno Dragon is not for rent for now."

He only had one pet with such an advanced bloodline. With the contract, he could summon the rented pet back at any time in case of any danger. That being said, the value of this pet was too high. If he rented it out, it would most likely be gone forever.

He could rent it out after the Purple Python was trained.

As for the Little Skeleton, it would be even better. Once the Skeleton King's bloodline was refined, the Little Skeleton's bloodline would be much more advanced than the Inferno Dragon's.

The students were disappointed by Su Ping's answer but soon calmed down.

It would be strange if Su Ping was willing to rent out the Inferno Dragon. You might not be able to find another such a top-level pet in the entire base city. Once the Inferno Dragon left the store, it would most likely be taken away.

The young man who asked about Su Ping's pet training was astonished by the conversation between Su Ping and the other students. Inferno Dragon? Were they kidding? Why did they make it sound as if the store had such a top-level pet of the dragon family?

Such a small, shabby store?

He raised his eyebrows as he pondered.

Su Ping thought that the young man didn't speak for a long time because he didn't have the money. "What kind of service do you want? Pet training or something else?"

The young man came back to his senses. He decided to put the Inferno Dragon aside for the moment. "I'll train my pet as well," he said after some thought.

"What rank?" Su Ping asked.

"Wing Beast. Fifth-rank at the moment," the young man answered calmly.

When the students at the back heard this, they immediately looked at the young man in surprise.

The young man didn't look much older than them. How could he have a fifth-rank pet?

One more rank and it would be an advanced pet!

Besides, the Wing Beast was a popular pet of the demon family with a ninth-rank bloodline. The fact that the young man had such a pet indicated that he came from an extraordinary family.

"Can you train it?" The young man asked Su Ping.

Su Ping nodded. "As long as it's not an advanced one."

The young man smiled. Deep down, he was disgusted. He couldn't even train an advanced pet. How dare he claim to have an Inferno Dragon?

If it weren't for the fact that there were students from the Phoenix Peak Academy around and the situation was a bit strange, he wouldn't have waited in line and taken out his pet for training.

However, the Wing Beast was not his most powerful pet. His most powerful pets were taken care of by well-known advanced trainers. He just wanted to see what the students from the Phoenix Peak Academy were up to.

"Pay up. One hundred thousand," Su Ping said.

The young man raised his eyebrows. He had thought the price was a bit high.

"Can't you make it cheaper?" the young man asked.

Su Ping pulled a long face as soon as he heard that. "No bargaining."

The young man frowned. He remembered that the other students had already paid up. After some consideration, he said, "Fine." With that said, he transferred the money to Su Ping.

After the transfer, he summoned his Wing Beast. This was a pitch-black monster with four wings on its back. It had the body of a bird, the claws of an eagle, and the appearance of a ferocious beast.

The Wing Beast was emitting a dark aura that was unique to pets of the demon family. Its golden eyes gave off a sense of danger. The Wing Beast was coldly sizing up Su Ping and the people around. As soon as the young man gave the order, the Wing Beast would attack at once.

The students behind the young man in line turned pale as they sensed the Wing Beast's killing intent. They couldn't help but take a few steps back, not daring to get too close.

Given the Wing Beast's strength, one peck from it could crack their heads.

Su Ping didn't feel anything. After the young man transferred the money, Su Ping stepped forward and said, "Little guy, come in with me." He was about to take the Wing Beast into the pet room.

The young man didn't have the time to comfort his pet. Seeing Su Ping approaching, the young man hurriedly said, "No …"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Wing Beast suddenly spread its wings and screeched when it saw Su Ping approaching. A glint of cruelty and bloodthirst rose in its cold eyes. The sharp claws hidden under its wings reached toward Su Ping.

Su Ping didn't expect this little thing to be so ferocious. But he didn't mind it too much. His Solar Bulwark was comparable to the fifth-rank Solar Bulwark. His defense was stronger than the average fifth-rank pets of the stone family. Few pets of the same rank could hurt him.
