In the midst of sighs, the customers lining up in the store left one after another.
Su Ping understood that people would be angry if he made them wait for nothing. But there was nothing he could do since all the seats were taken. As for the apology, he soon found a suitable candidate.
"Tang, go and see the customers out. Be nice."
"…"
Tang Ruyan told herself to put up with it. She had to lower her head when she was under someone else's roof.
Tang Ruyan forced a smile and saw the customers out one by one.
She had been good at putting on a show since she was a little girl. But she never did that again after her identity changed. No one was worthy of her smiles, except for some senior figures.
The news that the Pixie Pet Store had closed down once again spread to the Internet, stirring up more waves.
Previously, the general consensus was that the Pixie Pet Store had been driven into a corner by Primo. That was why the Pixie Pet Store had said something as stupid as "guaranteed the championship." But the fact that the store had closed down during the day had changed many people's minds.
If the Pixie Pet Store had been driven into a corner, it wouldn't have gone into desperate marketing. It would have raked in money like crazy.
The fact that the Pixie Pet Store had closed down during the day and used the excuse that all the seats were taken as an excuse. That calmness and disregard for money made many people believe that the Pixie Pet Store was not as flustered as they had thought. Instead, the store was quite calm.
Besides, it was as if the Pixie Pet Store didn't take the fierce competition with Primo seriously. It was as if the Pixie Pet Store could stay calm no matter the storm outside.
This made many people change their opinion of the Pixie Pet Store. They believed that the Pixie Pet Store had some skills and things to offer.
Su Ping didn't expect that being forced to close down would cause a heated discussion on the Internet. Nor did he expect that the negative comments about the store would be reduced.
He called the Inferno Dragon back after he closed the door.
Then, he told Tang Ruyan to go back to the scroll she was in.
Tang Ruyan was reluctant but she was "sent" back by Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't go to train his pets right away. Instead, he went to the room where the Chaos Spirit Pool was.
He pushed the door open. The room was filled with starlight.
The ground was as deep as the void. A dry well was floating in the middle of the room. The well was in the middle of the universe.
"This is …"
Joanna also followed. When she saw the scene inside the door, her golden eyes, which had been calm all day, contracted slightly.
She could feel that the interior of this room seemed to have formed a space of its own. Once she passed through that barrier, she would enter the vast universe that she saw in front of her.
Someone had actually shrunk an entire universe into this tiny room?!
Joanna was shocked. Even a Paramount God would find it difficult to absorb the starry sky like this. This required an extremely deep understanding of the Laws of Space!
In her impression, perhaps only those existences in the Archean Divinity could do that!
Su Ping stepped into the room as if he was walking in the starry sky. Su Ping did not try to hide anything from Joanna who was behind him. After all, she was bound to the store. Unless Su Ping fired her, she could not do anything to harm him.
"Level up."
Su Ping said in his heart.
The number in the energy grid instantly shortened by one digit, from more than 1.3 million to more than 300,000.
Upgrading the Chaos Spirit Pool to Level Four required one million energy points.
That equaled to one hundred million.
Of course, that was not something that could be measured with astral coins. As far as the system was concerned, astral coins were merely a measurement of his ability to run the store. Astral coins had no value.
It was easy for Su Ping to make one hundred million from other sources. However, making one hundred million from the store was not an easy task. Luckily, given the number of pet cabins in the store and his reputation, he could easily earn half a million energy points a day.
As more energy was poured into the Chaos Spirit Pool, the dry well suddenly glowed. Then, a mysterious and complicated formation emerged on the edge of the pool. The formation was entangled with threads, like many golden patterns, which were imprinted in Joanna's eyes behind Su Ping.
Was that … a Paramount Divine Rune?
Joanna was stunned.
In the meantime, all of a sudden, she sensed a strand of energy from the dry well.
This aura was filled with the vicissitudes of life. It gave off an ancient feeling and was extremely heavy. It was just a wisp, but it seemed to be heavier than a giant mountain.
She was confused. That energy seemed to be divine energy, but at the same time, it wasn't. She had never felt anything like that before. Still, she had a feeling that the energy contained everything she wanted, including the path that would lead her to the Paramount God!
Soon, the golden patterns on the dry well disappeared and everything returned to normal. There was still a faint glow coming from the inside of the dry well. The structure of the mouth of the well had become more refined, looking much better than before.
Su Ping breathed in relief when the system notified him that the upgrade had been completed. He used his mind to enter the Chaos Spirit Pool.
The interface of the Chaos Spirit Pool appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Many intertwined runes appeared:
The probability of breeding a Beast King … 60%
The probability of breeding a ninth-rank pet … 29.999%
The probability of breeding an eighth-rank pet … 0.001%
The probability of breeding a failure … 10%
…
Su Ping's eyes glowed as he read the information about the Chaos Spirit Pool. He felt his blood was flowing faster.
When the pool was at Level Three, the probability of breeding a Beast King was small, about 10%.
But now, it had increased to 60%!
If he was lucky, he could breed a Beast King in one try. If he was not, the probability would be more than 50%!
Of course, if he was unlucky, it was possible that he would never be able to breed a Beast King. Still, in general, Su Ping was satisfied with the 60% probability of breeding a Beast King.
That was a Beast King pet!
Even if he could breed a Beast King in ten tries, he would still make a profit!
Su Ping took a look at the energy points. The novice protection period was over. He was paying for the energy points with his own energy points.
One million at a time.
The amount of energy needed to breed a Beast King was the same as the energy needed to upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool.
The Chaos Spirit Pool was just a gap. The chaos aura needed to breed a Beast King was the most precious thing.
Of course, Su Ping had already known that. One million at a time could be earned back in two days.
"I have 300,000 energy points left. I have to save some for later. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will be able to breed a Beast King," Su Ping said to himself.
Su Ping was relieved after the upgrade. He turned around and saw that Joanna was still staring at the Chaos Spirit Pool in a daze. "Let's go. Let's go and train the Beast Kings."
Joanna came back to her senses. A glint of mixed feelings rose in her eyes. She took a deep look at that thing that looked like a dry well. Previously, she had some speculations about the person behind Su Ping. Now, she had seen the tip of the iceberg. She had a general idea of that person's strength.
She didn't say anything else after hearing Su Ping's words. She left the room with him.
The door was closed. No one was allowed to go in unless they were authorized by Su Ping. Not even Joanna, an official employee.
Su Ping went to the pet room and continued to choose pets for training.
After he finished choosing pets, Su Ping took Joanna and went to the Divinity again.
This time, he took the Moonfrost Dragon with him.
He had transferred the money to Su Lingyue and asked her to pay for the professional training. That was a business deal for the store.
However, Su Ping didn't treat the Moonfrost Dragon the same way he treated the other pets. He even thought about letting the Moonfrost Dragon absorb Divine Crystals so that the Moonfrost Dragon could learn a deified skill!
…
Time zipped by.
In the blink of an eye, another night had passed.
Su Ping stayed in the Divinity for seven or eight days. He took the Moonfrost Dragon with him every time. After several training sessions in one night, the Moonfrost Dragon's combat strength had increased from the third rank to the seventh rank!
The Moonfrost Dragon's combat strength was 7.8, close to the eighth rank.
Besides, Su Ping asked for some Divine Crystals from Joanna and fed them to the Moonfrost Dragon. The Moonfrost Dragon had accumulated a lot of Divine Energy and could use all the deified skills.
He believed that after a few more days of training, the Moonfrost Dragon's combat strength would reach 9.5 before the Elite League. That was for sure.
Since the Moonfrost Dragon was still in its infancy, Su Ping had let it soak in the Divinity's Spring. As a result, the Moonfrost Dragon's silver scales were mixed with some golden scales. The mixture of gold and silver was quite magical.
"Fourth rank, combat strength 7.8. Above average aptitude. Not bad." Su Ping had been training the Moonfrost Dragon as if it were his own pet. He was satisfied with the progress.
When Su Ping went back to the store and finished training all the pets, dawn had just arrived.
The store was full the previous day. Su Ping had trained the pets in advance so that the store could open for business earlier that day.
As usual, he opened the store, received customers and asked Tang Ruyan to be the doorman.
Su Ping went online to check the situation while he was resting.
That night, Primo didn't cause any trouble. The store was quiet.
According to the videos that Su Ping saw, Primo was always full of customers.
Apart from the main store, the other branches also had a large number of customers.
In terms of making money, Primo must have made more than the Pixie Pet Store, at least hundreds of millions.
After all, Primo was a chain store with branches all over the country. Those who didn't want to travel long distances could find a place to stay.
Besides, Primo was open and there was no limit to the number of customers they could receive. As a result, the main store was open 24 hours a day and there were always people waiting in line.
"I think they are too busy to care about the competition. Or, are they satisfied with the current situation?"
Su Ping stopped paying attention after a while. Even if Primo didn't do anything, his store would still be full every day. As far as he was concerned, he was content.
Of course, he knew that this "truce" was temporary. When the Elite League began, the real competition and backstabbing would break out and overwhelm them.
The Elite League was getting closer and closer …
