As the countdown ended, the familiar feeling of time and space shifting occurred. When Su Ping opened his eyes again, he was back in the pet room of the store.
At the same time, he sensed a surge of energy. Su Ping turned around and saw Joanna coming out of nowhere.
"Is this … the Archean Divinity?" Joanna looked around, surprised.
Back in his own territory, Su Ping didn't pretend to be polite. He put on the airs of a boss. "This is the store. If you want to go to the Archean Divinity, you have to perform well. You will only have a chance when you become an outstanding employee."
Hearing Su Ping's tone, Joanna raised her eyebrows and asked coldly, "When will I become an outstanding employee?"
When she asked this question, she felt a little ashamed in her heart. With her noble status that was close to the Supreme God, it was simply unimaginable that she had to work hard to become an excellent employee at this moment!
"You will be selected every quarter. If you perform well, you will be selected in advance."
Su Ping had learned about the rules of the selection from the system.
He said calmly, "What you need to do now is to serve your customers well and listen to me. That is the basic principle of an employee."
Joanna was angry. "Don't think that you can order me around just because you're the boss!"
"Is that so?" Su Ping sneered. "Talk to me with that attitude again and I will deduct one point from you!"
Joanna glared at him.
At the moment, an illusory frame appeared in her mind. On it was her personal employee information.
This information was extremely detailed. The contents recorded included the battle strength of her True Spirit and Original Spirit, the realm of her cultivation, the various cultivation methods she cultivated, and the realm and battle strength of her reincarnated body that she cultivated. Everything was clear.
Under the personal information was her employee points.
She had 100 points as an initial employee.
Behind the employee points was a question mark. When she focused her attention, a message popped up. It was an introduction to the employee points.
She would be selected as an outstanding employee if she had 200 points.
If the employee's points were less than 80, the basic employee benefits would be canceled.
If the employee's points were less than 60, the employee's qualifications would be revoked. Everything the employee had would be taken away and the employee would be turned into a pet …
“？！”
Joanna was shocked.
An employee with less than 60 points would be turned into a pet?!
This was not written in the previous contract at all!
As a pure-blooded god who had always been noble and elegant, she had the urge to curse.
This was an unscrupulous shop!
She was filled with regret. What infuriated and frightened her the most was that the information about her on the employee information form was too detailed. It included her origin, bloodline, combat strength, realm, secret techniques, and so on. Everything was clear and detailed. Some of the secret techniques that she had almost forgotten were actually recorded in the form. This was even more detailed than checking a god's record!
Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Just by looking at the employee form, she knew that she couldn't go against the shop.
But what made her feel better was that, judging from Su Ping's attitude toward her, she believed that Su Ping didn't have absolute control over her points. Otherwise, he would have deducted all her points and turned her into a pet.
"Do you see the nursing pen over there? Now, go inside and stay there. Don't come out without my permission," Su Ping said to Joanna who was in deep thought.
Joanna darted a look at Su Ping and made up her mind. She knew that Su Ping didn't have absolute control over her points. However, as an employee, she didn't dare to take the risk of disobeying her boss.
She snorted in her mind. She looked toward where Su Ping was pointing and saw several small formations on the ground.
Her eyes flashed with surprise. There was actually a Spirit Array in this shop?
Before Su Ping could say anything, she went to the formations and found that most of them had small beasts inside.
Those beasts had shrunk down to the size of pets and were sleeping soundly inside the formations.
Joanna carefully examined the spiritual array, and the shock in her eyes gradually disappeared. Although this spiritual array was somewhat mysterious, it was still within her acceptable range. It wasn't too profound, and if she was given the materials, she would be able to set it up.
"However, it's rare to see such a pure Spiritual Array." Joanna stepped into one of the formations. Immediately, she felt that she was enveloped by a force that was compressing her body. In her sight, Su Ping was growing larger and larger until he was a giant.
At the moment, a large amount of Spirit Qi gushed out from the formations and flowed into her body.
"Such pure Spirit Qi." Joanna was surprised.
Such pure Spiritual Qi was extremely rare, even in the Demigod Burial.
After all, the Demigod Burial used to be a battlefield. All the energy inside had been destroyed, leaving only the chaotic and violent energy. After countless years, the chaotic energy gradually calmed down. However, there was not much Divine Qi left, and even less elemental energy, including Spiritual Qi. Spiritual Qi was rare in the Divinity in the first place. When it appeared, it would gradually be assimilated by the Divine Qi.
It was precisely because the Demigod Burial's energy was scarce that only a few Superior Gods had been born over the years.
Paramount Gods were almost immortal. They could live forever, unless they wanted to die.
"Although this Spirit Qi is not as powerful as Divine Qi, it has its own special effects. It can increase intelligence and potential. The small beasts in the other formations all have very low bloodlines, but they can also enjoy such benefits. This shop is so strange …" Joanna thought to herself.
She sat in the formation and closed her eyes. She used the spell she had been cultivating to absorb the Spirit Qi faster and nourish her body.
The Spirit Qi was of little importance to her true self. However, this reincarnated body of hers was only at the Beast King level. The Spirit Qi would be of some help to her.
…
…
Su Ping was relieved to see that Joanna had calmed down in the formation. He had told her to stay in the nursing pen because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain to his mother and Su Lingyue.
After all, he had stayed there for half a day and then came out with a girl … He wasn't Piccolo.
Thinking of them, Su Ping suddenly noticed that it was quiet outside.
His heart skipped a beat. He opened the door at once.
At the counter, his mother was sleeping on the only chair in the shop. Su Lingyue was sitting on the wooden floor, leaning against the counter, playing with her phone. Her fingers were tapping on the screen. Su Ping knew that this was her favorite pastime.
Su Ping was relieved to see that they were fine. He had almost been scared to death.
Su Ping was speechless to see that Su Lingyue was so engrossed in the game. How could she still be in the mood to play games at a time like this?
That being said, it had been seven days since he entered the Demigod Burial and seven hours had passed in the outside world. It was strange that the person he thought he would provoke hadn't come to him yet.
Logically speaking, the person who controlled the Secret Realm should have an extremely wide background and connections. Finding his address should be a matter of minutes. Seven hours had passed, and he still hadn't come. Could it be that he was entangled with something, or did he just ignore him?
Su Ping shook his head. Either way, the peace was temporary. He had to improve his combat strength as soon as possible, upgrade the store, expand his territory, and increase his safety.
"What?"
Su Lingyue heard the door being opened. She looked up from the screen and saw Su Ping standing by the door. She said grumpily, "Finally, you're out. You've been in there for a long time. You didn't answer my calls."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "What do you want from me?"
"Nothing. I just want to order some takeout and I was wondering if you could do that."
"This is a critical time. Don't eat takeout. You can get into trouble," Su Ping said.
"Hmm." Su Lingyue snorted. "I've been hungry. I don't mind. I'm just worried that you won't be able to eat anything and you'll get a stomachache."
Su Ping frowned. That was indeed a problem.
Right then, he heard the system's prompt in his mind.
"Beep!"
"Congratulations, host, for completing the temporary quest 'Professional Training.'
"Reward: one middle-rank Force Pellet and a random book of Mythical Arts."
The system's voice came out of nowhere. At the same time, an illusionary roulette appeared in front of Su Ping.
"What?"
Su Ping was surprised.
He remembered about the Celestial Pig. He had gone to the Demigod Burial mainly to complete the temporary quest and unlock the requirements to upgrade the store to the third level. Under his "careful care", the Celestial Pig had reached above average aptitude and its combat strength had been greatly enhanced.
"Middle-rank Force Pellet. I just broke through to the fifth rank from the upper position of the fourth rank in the Demigod Burial. With this Force Pellet, I can reach the sixth rank directly. If I use the Star Prism to enhance my astral powers, I can unleash astral powers at the eighth rank within a short period of time!"
Su Ping's eyes glowed.
Apart from the Force Pellet, Su Ping was also interested in the Mythical Arts.
He knew about the reward when he accepted the quest. Finally, it was time for him to reap the rewards.
He closed the door and went back to the pet room so that Su Lingyue wouldn't see his expression. After all, to others, it would seem that he was staring at the roulette in a daze.
Su Ping went back into the room. Su Lingyue glared at him. "How long are you going to stay in there?"
"Soon."
Su Ping replied.
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything else. She lowered her head and flew into a rage. She had been so focused on talking that she forgot to pause. Challenge failed.
(Utensils)
…
…
"Draw!"
Su Ping said to the roulette.
The roulette began to spin faster and faster. When it reached the peak, it began to weaken and gradually stopped …
When the roulette stopped completely, a book popped out —
"Fist of Exorcist."
"A fist skill?"
Su Ping was surprised to see this book. He didn't expect to get a fist skill. He thought it would be something like a sword or a saber skill.
"Get."
He said to himself.
The golden book on the roulette turned into a blur of light that surged into his mind. A large amount of information emerged. Su Ping saw a vast world that was dark and bleak. The ground was covered with broken battlefields.
Countless demons and beasts were crawling on the ground and dancing wildly.
And in this chaotic and dark world, an extremely intense golden light suddenly erupted, driving away the darkness in the sky. Then, a massive golden fist that was over ten thousand kilometers long came crashing down from the horizon, from the other side of the horizon.
This golden fist was invincible. It pushed forward. Countless demons and beasts on the ground tried to attack, but they were like moths darting into a flame. They were turned into ashes, unable to resist the golden fist!
Su Ping was completely stunned by this scene.
The imposing manner and the invincible strength of this fist were deeply imprinted in his mind.
No matter how the demons and beasts danced, all of them would be destroyed by this fist!
When the picture ended, Su Ping saw the description of the fist technique's creator. Su Ping saw a hazy and huge shadow. From the information, Su Ping knew that this was a Beast Emperor, a Beast Emperor who had cultivated in the Uncivilized Lands in ancient times, a Beast Emperor with unparalleled talent!
"Boundless righteousness, domineering aura, invincible strength …"
Su Ping was completely immersed in this fist skill.
After a long, long time.
When the content of this fist skill was completely engraved in his mind, he gradually came back to his senses. When he reviewed this fist skill again, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This was an extremely terrifying fist skill. There were a total of five levels. If he cultivated to the fifth level, he would be able to unleash the terrifying strength in the previous scene!
Even if he only cultivated to the first level, he would be able to kill a ninth-rank demon beast with one punch!
"Such a shocking fist technique is too powerful. Is this the power of a hero from ancient times? Even though countless years have passed and he himself has perished, the traces of his existence could not be completely erased. He left behind this Divine Demon fist technique!"
Su Ping was shocked, envious, and full of yearning.
He hoped that one day, he would also have such strength and extraordinary achievements.
Taking a deep breath.
Su Ping let his mind gradually return to the fist skill. He tried to cultivate it, but found that even though this fist skill was already imprinted in his mind and he knew all the cultivation methods, it was extremely difficult to follow the instructions.
"Essence, Qi, Spirit, gather into one, the energy circulation route …"
Su Ping closed his eyes and tried.
After a while, he tried to throw a punch.
Whoosh!
A faint whistling sound could be heard in the air.
Su Ping opened his eyes and looked at his fist. Although he was still far from mastering the first level, the strength of the punch just now was obviously much stronger than his usual attacks.
If he could create a sonic boom with a punch, he would be considered to have mastered the first level.
"Forget it, I can't cultivate it in a day. Let's deal with the shop first." Su Ping withdrew his thoughts. After he passed this hurdle, he would seize the opportunity to cultivate this fist skill. After all, it was impossible to master it in a day. After all, this was a top-notch combat technique.
Su Ping flipped his palm and took out the mid-grade Force Pill from his storage space.
The perfectly round Force Pill looked extremely tempting and delicious.
Su Ping took it without hesitation.
A warm current gushed out from his dantian. A large amount of energy filled his body in an instant, filling up his limbs and bones. In a short moment, Su Ping felt that his rank had soared from the lower position of the fifth rank to the lower position of the sixth rank.
He had advanced by an entire rank.
If he had one more Force Pill, he could reach the peak of the sixth rank, only one step away from the seventh rank. Unfortunately, he didn't have one.
That being said, Su Ping was satisfied. After all, he had only awakened as a battle pet warrior for a little over a month. It was already amazing that he could reach this level of strength.
Su Ping pulled the door open and walked out of the pet room. He looked at Su Lingyue who was still playing Candy Crush on the ground and asked, "Did the real estate agent come by while I was taking care of the pets?"
Su Lingyue looked up at him and answered grumpily, "Yes, they did. I asked you but you didn't reply so I didn't open the door. I told them to come back later."
Su Ping nodded. The companies on the explorers' website were indeed efficient.
He logged into the pioneer website with his communicator and contacted the companies again, asking them to come over as soon as possible.
After contacting him, Su Ping closed the door. While waiting, he continued to practice his martial arts.
Su Ping went back in. Su Lingyue rolled her eyes and turned pale with fright. She hurried to check her phone … F * ck!!
…
…
Half an hour later, the agents that Su Ping contacted arrived outside the shop one after another.
Su Ping pulled open the shutter door, took the surrounding land deeds from their hands, and then paid the subsequent transfer in person.
Forty to fifty land deeds cost a total of two hundred million yuan.
Each land deed was sold for about four to five hundred yuan. After all, this was a slum area. Although it was a storefront, it was generally sold for a little more than one million yuan. Su Ping paid three times the price, which was four to five million yuan.
Su Ping flipped through the land deeds and found that the shops bought were of different sizes. However, the total area was around four to five thousand square meters.
The requirement for upgrading the shop was three thousand square meters, which was more than enough.
Time was of the essence. Su Ping planned to buy the entire street when he had more time. That way, the entire street would be his property and would belong to him in an absolutely safe area.
At the moment, both conditions had been met. He only needed to pay energy points to upgrade the shop to the third level.
Su Ping didn't think too much about it. He politely asked the agents to leave and then went back to the shop to upgrade.
