Looking back at the Little Skeleton, Su Ping bit his finger and slowly drew blood on the Little Skeleton's forehead, according to the Ancient Spirit Beast Contract.
The Little Skeleton was still sitting there in a daze, as if it had no idea what was going on around it. However, when the Little Skeleton smelled the blood on Su Ping's finger, a trace of crimson color appeared in its hollow eye sockets and its body reacted.
When the Little Skeleton slowly raised its hand to grab Su Ping's finger, Su Ping had finished drawing the contract quickly and pulled his hand back.
An intricate blood pattern was engraved on the Little Skeleton's forehead.
As Su Ping pulled back his hand, the blood pattern gradually faded away as if the Little Skeleton had absorbed it.
The next second, Su Ping suddenly felt that there was an extra line in his consciousness. That line was connected to another consciousness outside his body.
That was a very weak consciousness, like a flickering candle flame that could go out at any moment.
From that weak consciousness, Su Ping could sense that the Little Skeleton was scared and confused.
"Is that its consciousness?" Su Ping looked at the Little Skeleton. Through the power of the contract, he could clearly sense the Little Skeleton's emotional changes.
The Little Skeleton slowly raised its head and stared at Su Ping in a daze. The Little Skeleton was still confused about the changes that had happened to it.
Su Ping patted the Little Skeleton's head. After all, the Little Skeleton had just been born and had no inherited memories. It was normal for the Little Skeleton to be confused about everything around it.
Su Ping went to open the door. When the sunlight shone into the store, Su Ping suddenly felt a sense of fear coming from the Little Skeleton's mind.
He turned around. The Little Skeleton had fallen off the counter. Its scattered bones slowly shrank into a dark corner of the counter. The Little Skeleton's body was reconstructed and the Little Skeleton was hugging its legs, shivering.
"Is the Little Skeleton afraid of sunlight?"
Su Ping was surprised. He realized that he had neglected the Little Skeleton. Most pets of the demon family preferred dark environments. Some of them were even afraid of sunlight and could only stay in the dark.
Su Ping went back at once and carried the shivering Little Skeleton to the pet room at the back of the store.
Seeing the empty nursing pen, Su Ping walked up and placed the little skeleton in the middle of the stone teeth array.
"System, this free nursing pen of yours costs 10 RMB an hour. What are its effects?" Su Ping asked curiously.
Ten yuan an hour was not cheap for a day of foster care.
"The free nursing pens are made of waste spirit stones. The remaining spirit energy and the complicated and disordered rays from the waste ores can help pets grow. There is a high probability that the nursing pens will cause pets to mutate," the system explained.
"Mutation?"
Su Ping was stunned.
Apart from evolution, pets had a lower chance of mutating due to the different environments they grew up in.
Mutation, on the other hand, was to mutate into another species.
Perhaps it was a new species that was stronger and better, or perhaps it was a degenerated and failed species.
In some war zones where the environment was extremely harsh and the place was filled with technological waste, it was easy for mutated pets to breed.
Most of the mutated pets carried unknown pathogenic bacteria, which could easily cause plagues or large-scale virus attacks.
For the average person, this was fatal. Therefore, in most cases, "mutated pets" were a word that would cause people to panic.
That being said, in the field of pet research, the advancement of pet mutations had never stopped. In the Federation, many famous ninth-rank pets had mutated due to scientific catalysis. These pets were powerful and were brand-new species that had been successfully cultivated!
"Are the pets mutated here good or bad?" Su Ping asked the system.
"Both good and bad. The host is advised to upgrade the nursing pen to the elementary level as soon as possible so that the store's reputation will not be affected," the system answered briefly.
Su Ping curled his lips.
Well, he was glad he asked.
When the system mentioned the radiation from the waste ores, he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, nothing cheap was good.
"Upgrade it, then."
Without much hesitation, Su Ping chose to upgrade the nursing pen.
Not to mention the fact that the rental price would be increased by ten times and the benefits would be numerous, the failure rate of mutation alone was not something he could afford.
The store's reputation would be severely damaged if he damaged a customer's pet and people found out about it. The system wasn't giving him a free nursing pen. It was burying a sinister bomb!
Luckily, he was making money fast and the store's business was not doing well these days. Therefore, nothing major happened.
-20 energy points.
The two ancient stone fangs in front of Su Ping suddenly emitted a hazy white glow. When the white glow faded away, the stone fangs looked brand new. While they were still sharp, the color of the stone fangs was completely different.
At the beginning, they were like ordinary, rough stones, dull and without light. But at the moment, they were like white ivory, full of spirit energy.
"It's starting to look better."
Su Ping was satisfied.
However, his heart ached at the thought that he would have to spend one energy point to maintain the elementary nursing pen every day.
He was spending money like running water.
In the blink of an eye, his 315 energy points had been reduced to less than 100.
"I have to hurry up and earn more energy points. The Chaos Spirit Pool hasn't been upgraded."
Su Ping was excited at the thought of the effect of the Chaos Spirit Pool at the third level. If he could breed a pet with a Beast King bloodline, he would be able to attract a steady stream of customers just by putting it at the door!
"Is anyone there?
Right then, he heard a voice outside the store.
Su Ping found the voice familiar. He left the pet room at once and went back to the front.
Two well-dressed girls were standing by the door, looking around cautiously.
"What?"
Su Ping recognized one of them at once. She was the one who had taken the Lightning Rat away.
…
"Is the boss not here?"
The girl at the door was Su Yanying. She looked around the store, confused.
"Yingying, are you sure this is the place?"
Next to him was Lan Lele, who was wearing a soft gauze dress. She had come with her friend. Looking at the remote store that was covered in dust, she was full of doubt. She could not believe that the freakish Lightning Rat was trained here.
"This is the place!"
Su Yanying was certain. "My Lightning Rat must have something to do with this place!"
After the preliminaries, she gradually came to her senses and realized that there was something wrong with her Lightning Rat.
Especially when her teacher and her homeroom teacher visited and inquired about her Lightning Rat. She was even more aware of how terrifying her Lightning Rat was!
If the Lightning Rat had only learned one advanced pet skill, it could be considered a coincidence. But no one would believe that the Lightning Rat was able to use two advanced pet skills at the same time.
She gave a vague answer to her teacher's question. After all, she didn't know the answer herself. But she did realize that it might have something to do with the pet store she was staying in.
