As an otaku, Su Ping spent all his time "studying" on the Internet. He was no stranger to systems. Pleasantly surprised, Su Ping asked about the system's purpose at once.
"I am the Super Pet System, dedicated to training the most powerful pets in the world. The system's motto is: Everything can be trained. Everything is a pet!"
Pet Training System?
Su Ping clicked his tongue in surprise.
The system sounded quite arrogant. Everything was a pet. So, were the flowers and plants on the roadside also pets?
"Flowers and plants have awakened intelligence and can be used as pets. Pets of the plant family are evolved from ordinary flowers and plants!" the system answered calmly.
Su Ping stared at the system in shock. "You can hear my thoughts?"
"I am bound to the host's soul. Of course, I know the host's thoughts … Attention, one curse warning!"
"…"
Su Ping fell into silence.
"The system has been activated. The host, please bind to a pet store that belongs to you within 24 hours. If the binding fails, the system will be deactivated and the memory of that day will be erased …" the system repeated.
"Deactivate the system?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. This system was strange, but it was better than nothing.
"There is a pet store right in front of me. Can I bind to it?" Su Ping asked in his mind.
"Yes. Please confirm."
Su Ping confirmed at once.
After all, the store belonged to his family. He could do whatever he wanted.
"Binding successful. Adjusting the pet store …"
"[Pet Slot] established, [Nursing Pen] established, [Cultivation Plane Window] established …"
"Establishment completed. Beginner's Guide Task initiated …"
"Two pets have been detected in the store. Please choose one pet and increase its strength by three times within a week to reach the 'qualified' standard as judged by the system."
As the system finished its words, Su Ping instantly felt that the Astral Pet Store was different. The pungent smell of urine and feces was gone. At the same time, the store seemed to have become cleaner. Although the items were still the same, there was a new feeling.
"Increase the strength of an Astral Pet by three times? Within a week? "
Su Ping wondered if he had misheard or if the system was out of its mind.
How difficult was it to increase the strength of an Astral Pet?
Without daily hunting and training, without rare and precious Astral Pet food, it was impossible to achieve such a feat!
Not to mention a threefold increase in strength, even a ten percent increase would be extremely difficult, not to mention that the time limit was only one week.
"What happens if the quest fails?" Su Ping asked.
"The host will receive the punishment for failure. The punishment method will be randomly selected. There are lightning punishment, purgatory punishment, extreme pain experience punishment..." the system said.
Su Ping rolled his eyes. From the name of these punishments, it was clear that they were not to be trifled with.
"Can't we change the mission?" Su Ping still wanted to make one last struggle.
"No." He refused mercilessly. "Please note that this is the second warning for swearing!"
"…"
"Third warning for swearing. Lightning punishment will be randomly applied!"
As soon as the System's voice fell, Su Ping felt a huge electric current rush through his body. He was suddenly electrocuted and convulsed on the spot, like a zombie dancing in a disco.
The electric current disappeared just as quickly as it came. Su Ping felt a burning pain all over his body. He just wanted to curse. But in the end, he forced himself to hold back. A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.
"Never mind. Let me try the quest first. If I fail, it's because the system is garbage!" Su Ping clenched his teeth.
He dragged his sore body to the pet room in the store.
As soon as he entered the pet room, Su Ping noticed that the space was much more spacious. The area was still the same as before, but the twenty or so empty iron cages were gone. Instead, they were replaced by two stone cages.
Rather than stone cages, they were more like a strange stone array.
Several stalagmites protruded from the ground and surrounded the two Astral Pets. The gap between the stalagmites was large and there was no ceiling. The Astral Pets could easily jump out or crawl out from the gaps.
However, the two Astral Pets were lying in there obediently. They didn't have any intention of "breaking out."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He believed that this was most likely the system's trick. The "pet slot" mentioned earlier must be referring to this.
He darted a look at the two pets in the stone array. Both were common battle pets.
One of them was the Lightning Rat, a low-rank battle pet of the agility type. When it reached adulthood, it would only be at the intermediate position of the first rank. The probability of evolution was low. Even if the Lightning Rat evolved into a Thunderbolt Rat, it would only be at the third rank, which was basically the upper limit.
The other one was the Moon Chasing Hound, also a low-rank battle pet of the agility type. When it reached adulthood, it would be at the upper position of the first rank, which was about the same as the Amur Tiger on Earth.
Su Ping vaguely remembered that the two Astral Pets had been placed in the pet store by others. They would come to pick them up in a couple of days.
"I'll pick the Lightning Rat."
After some thought, Su Ping picked the weaker Lightning Rat. This way, the Lightning Rat would have more room for improvement.
"Pet selected. Please draw a cultivation plane," the system's voice said.
As soon as the system finished its sentence, an illusory white light suddenly appeared in front of Su Ping. The light tore the space apart, forming a space crack in the shape of a vertical pupil. The space crack was filled with a twisted and destructive aura.
Su Ping was taken aback. After making sure that this thing was not dangerous to him, he asked the system, "What is a cultivation plane?"
"A cultivation plane is the main place for pet training. The host can choose a place that is suitable for the pet to train."
"A cultivation plane?"
Su Ping dug out some simple knowledge about cultivation in his memory. The cultivation of Astral Pets placed great importance on the location. Therefore, many Astral Pet cultivation stores would rent a large area to build a cultivation plane, which was a specialized hunting ground.
Some large pet stores would also provide such a service, which was more comprehensive.
Only some small pet stores, like Su Ping's, only needed to feed and clean the customers' pets.
"Pet detection: Lightning Rat, a pet of the thunder family. It has been automatically matched with the best cultivation plane, the Ancient Thunder Cloud Realm. Do you want to enter?"
Su Ping was confused. "Let's … go in."
As soon as he said that, he felt the name of this cultivation plane was familiar.
Astral Pets had different origins. But most of them came from cracks in space, some planets with beasts in space, and some came from ancient planets.
As for the Ancient Thunder Cloud Realm, it seemed to be a place where Astral Pets of the thunder family were born.
Many famous top-level Astral Pets of the thunder family, such as the Thunder Dragon, the Nine-headed Thunder King, and the Beast of Eternity, were said to have come from the Ancient Thunder Cloud Realm. As the Ancient Thunder Cloud Realm disappeared, those top-level Astral Pets became legends and were rarely seen.
Could it be that the place he was going to was the lost ancient land?
Before Su Ping could come back to his senses, he suddenly felt a strong suction force pulling his body toward the illusory white light crack in front of him.
His vision was spinning.
Then, everything went dark.
When he could see again, he saw a hazy white mist and the rumbling sound of thunder.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. Then, he was shocked by what he was seeing!
This was the Ancient Lost Land?
The surroundings were vast and boundless, surrounded by giant trees. Tens of meters above the treetops, there were clouds and mist lingering in the air. Lightning flashed in the mist, and streaks of purple light flashed, as if there were flood dragons soaring in the clouds.
