It was close to noon.
There were few customers left outside Su Ping's store. Only the students would come in occasionally.
The warm sun of early winter shone through the glass door into the store, dispelling much of the coldness in the air.
Su Ping had the Solar Bulwark so he wasn't afraid of the cold. He sat in the store with his legs crossed and his feet shaking.
In front of him was the system's panel. His energy points were displayed.
2113,692 energy points!
That was almost his total income for the day. To be exact, it was his total income for the entire morning!
If converted into astral coins, it would be over twenty million!
That was a terrifying number.
Who would have thought that such a shabby store could make over twenty million astral coins in one morning?!
Even though the other stores on the same street were jealous of the number of customers outside Su Ping's store, they would never have thought that Su Ping would make such a huge amount of money!
Not even many well-known listed companies could make money as fast as Su Ping!
Every student who came to train middle-rank pets would charge one hundred thousand astral coins.
In just one morning, sixty or seventy students had come to the store.
Most of the students were training low-rank pets and the training fee was only ten thousand astral coins.
After all, students with middle-rank pets were considered outstanding among the students.
Those outstanding students were the fat sheep in Su Ping's eyes … VIP customers!
It was the first time that Su Ping had seen so much energy points. His heart was pounding and his blood was boiling. He was thrilled!
Of course, he knew that the energy points could only be regarded as a deposit. He had to train all the pets behind the energy points before he could truly earn the energy points.
Based on the current efficiency of the dummy training, when he reached the fourth rank, his spirit would grow as well. He would be able to train five pets at a time.
Once an hour.
Ten times would be fifty pets.
His storage space was almost full with more than forty pets.
The nursing pens were full as well.
He would have to train for more than a dozen hours without a moment's rest before he could finish all the pets.
Su Ping felt lucky. If it weren't for the dummy training function, he would have been exhausted to death by himself.
"This is the benefit of fame. As long as the item is good enough, once it's fermented, you'll be able to earn a fortune!" Su Ping's eyes lit up. At this rate, it would only take him a few days to accumulate a million and upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation to the fourth level!
Fourth-level Spiritual Pools had a high chance of breeding beast kings!
If he had a beast king, he could just drop it at the door and he would be able to gain the most fame and attention from all walks of life. By then, he would have more customers than he could count.
However, everything in his shop would be restored by the system even if it was destroyed. If someone destroyed it maliciously, the consequences would be even more severe.
"It seems like I have to increase my combat strength as soon as possible. Although I'm almost invincible with the protection of the system in the shop, it's not so safe outside the shop." Su Ping's eyes flashed as he felt a sense of urgency about his strength.
Although his strength was considered outstanding among his peers, it was still not enough when compared to a true powerhouse.
Su Ping wanted to become stronger.
It was not hard to imagine what would happen if a weak child swaggered around with a brick of gold.
That being said, Su Ping wasn't afraid for the time being.
If he were to run into trouble that he couldn't deal with, he could always hide in the store with his mother and sister.
It wouldn't be too late for him to come out when he was strong enough in the cultivation space.
But that would be too much for him to bear. Of course, it would be best if he could be strong enough to walk around in the open.
Su Ping was in deep thought as he stared at the abundant energy points.
Should he accumulate them or use them while accumulating them?
After much consideration, Su Ping decided to focus on improving his strength. Upgrading the Chaos Spirit Pool was important, but he wouldn't miss the opportunity to improve his strength.
He opened the system store. No Original Force Pellets were refreshed that day, but there was a middle-rank beast-catching ring and two special materials.
Su Ping suddenly realized that one of the materials was something he needed.
"Fire Phoenix Feather?" Su Ping looked at the rare material. The fire phoenix seemed to be a beast king. Was that its feather?
The price was thirty-five thousand energy points.
Su Ping curled his lips.
That was expensive.
If it weren't for the fact that he had earned enough energy points that day, he would have skipped over the price.
Thinking of his Solar Bulwark, Su Ping made up his mind and bought the feather.
No matter how expensive it was, it was still energy points. When the energy points were transferred to his body, he would have iron-forged strength. Strength was the foundation.
"I will need a lot of rare materials and elixirs to reach the second level of the Solar Bulwark. The pure fire energy in the Fire Phoenix Feather is just what I need."
Su Ping remembered Ye Chenshan's invitation. If he were to go to the barren area again, he would have to buy some medicine to cure his mother's illness and also find something suitable for his cultivation.
He looked at the rest of the items. Of course, he bought the middle-rank beast-catching ring. That was a good deal.
There was nothing else he needed. Su Ping looked at the refresh button again. He was hesitating.
One hundred energy points.
Should I?
Su Ping looked at the energy points again.
He had one hundred and sixty or seventy thousand energy points left after buying the middle-rank beast-catching ring and the Fire Phoenix Feather.
One hundred energy points … Refresh!
He made up his mind and refreshed.
If he could get Force Pellets, he would make a fortune!
Soon, the screen was refreshed. The five items were shrouded in a cloud of mist. When the mist dissipated, the items were revealed again.
There were no Force Pellets.
The middle-rank beast-catching rings that were sold out were gone. They were replaced with low-rank beast-catching rings.
There were three low-rank pet food and a strange material that he had no use for.
Su Ping took a look. His heart ached.
He had wasted one hundred energy points just like that!
That was a whole ten thousand yuan!
Su Ping didn't dare to go on. He had a feeling that he would find something good. But … based on his years of experience in spending money, he knew that this feeling was a trap.
Things would move in the opposite direction when they reached an extreme. Something good would come out when the worst happened … He was lying to himself!
"Never mind. I'll just leave it to fate. Spending money won't change my fate. I'll become a gambler if I take it too seriously …" Su Ping tried to persuade himself to let go.
After taking a few deep breaths, Su Ping closed the store. He looked at the remaining energy points. After some thought, he decided that spending one hundred thousand energy points to upgrade the store to the third level was not a bad idea.
At the third level, increasing the number of training spaces and nursing pens was secondary. More importantly, the store would provide professional training services and pets for sale. In this way, he could sell the pets that were of lower quality in the future.
Apart from that, the store would have a test space in the store where pets could use their skills without causing any damage to the store.
With all these benefits, spending one hundred thousand energy points to upgrade the store was a good deal.
Of course, one hundred thousand energy points would be ten million astral coins …
"Upgrade failed!"
All of a sudden, the system reminded him, "The host has not fulfilled the prerequisites for upgrading the store to the third level. First, the professional training service has not been completed. Second, the store is not big enough. Please get more space for the host (the store can be expanded to three thousand square meters)."
Su Ping was stunned.
When he heard the words "upgrade failed", he almost stood up in fright. He hurried to check the energy points.
He was relieved to see that the energy points were still there. If the energy points were deducted and the upgrade failed, he would have gone berserk on the spot.
"There are prerequisites?" Su Ping frowned. He remembered the professional training mission that the system had issued. Was that mission to prepare him for upgrading the store to the third level?
As for the size of the store …
He looked at his store. It was small. If he were to build a test space, the store would not be big enough. Given the system's ability, the test space could be moved to other spaces such as cultivation planes.
However, to test a pet's abilities, he would have to do it in front of the pet's master. Therefore, the test space had to be built on the ground.
"If I were to expand the store to two thousand square meters, it would be the size of six basketball courts. At the moment, the store is over two hundred square meters. That is to say, I have to buy all the stores nearby …" Su Ping frowned. This was not a difficult task, but it was a bit troublesome.
"I don't know if the other stores nearby would be willing to rent or sell their stores. But I should be able to pay enough. But all my money has been converted into energy points. I don't have many astral coins that can't be converted."
"I think I have to figure out a way to make a few thousand astral coins first."
For the average person, making money was difficult. But for Su Ping, it was just a waste of time.
He closed the store and sat in the store, lost in his thoughts, thinking about how to make money.
To make money, he had to rely on his strengths.
Su Ping began to examine his strengths.
Soon, he found a way to make money.
Be a tutor.
Su Ping believed that the things he was good at were all related to pets.
As for exploring uncharted land, while profitable, it was too dangerous. Traveling back and forth was too troublesome, and it would affect his store's business.
Apart from exploring uncharted land, he remembered that he had been invited to be a teacher.
Since he could teach students from Fengshan University, he could teach others.
After he sorted out his thoughts, Su Ping logged on to the Internet and began to search for tutoring websites.
Soon, he found a large number of tutoring websites. But the fees for tutoring there were quite low.
That being said, the requirements for tutoring were low. Middle-rank battle pet warriors were enough. The tutors were usually from middle-class families. On an hourly basis, the fee would be over one thousand per hour. The more expensive ones would be around two or three thousand.
For many middle-class families, such fees were expensive. Many of them might not be able to afford the tutors.
But for Su Ping, those fees were too cheap.
He would teach one class per hour at Fengshan University. Although he would be giving out points as a teacher, those points were worth more than a few thousand.
Su Ping browsed around. All of a sudden, he remembered that he was an explorer. An idea came to him. He logged on to the explorers' website and started to search using the explorer's browser.
Soon, several tutoring websites that he had never seen before popped up in front of him.
Su Ping clicked on the Tutoring Network, the most popular website.
On the homepage, there were many recommendations from teachers and requests from students.
Below the teacher's page, there was a display of fees.
