Su Ping didn't stop there. He continued to draw astral powers on the cells of the other fingers. At the same time, he turned his attention back to the store. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was past eight in the morning.
"Today is the day of the finals …"
Su Ping smiled. Finally, the Elite League was coming to an end.
After the Elite League in the base city, it would be the Elite League in the continent. But for Su Ping, that didn't mean much. He didn't care what Su Lingyue's ranking would be as the representative of the Longjiang Base City.
After all, even if she won the Elite League, she wouldn't get much of a reward.
Joanna could do that if he wanted to ask a legendary battle pet warrior to teach him.
He didn't have to waste his energy on that.
As for the store's fame … When Su Lingyue won the Elite League in the Longjiang Base City, she would be able to make the Pixie Pet Store famous all over the Longjiang Base City.
By then, the store would be full every day. It wouldn't matter if the store became more popular. The Longjiang Base City was enough to feed the store.
Su Ping was full of energy. That day, he would make the final check for Su Lingyue.
He put the pets he had trained in the Demigod Burial in the nursing pens. Then, he took out the scroll and told Tang Ruyan to come out and open the store.
Tang Ruyan seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life. She came out from the scroll and saw that it was morning. She knew what she had to do. She went to the bathroom without needing Su Ping to tell her what to do. She went back to the store and found that Su Ping was already open for business.
There were only seven or eight regular customers outside the store.
Su Ping took a look at them and invited them to come in.
Most of the regular customers were there to pick up the pets they had trained the day before. Su Ping noticed that the number of customers had decreased. He assumed that it was because of the finals. Most of the customers stayed at home or went to the stadium. After all, no one wanted to miss the finals.
"Sir!"
Not long after Su Ping served them, a figure suddenly ran into the store. As soon as he saw Su Ping, he waved and called out.
Su Ping took a look and saw that it was Xu Kuang. He retracted his gaze and ignored him.
When the old customers saw Xu Kuang, they were shocked. When they heard Xu Kuang call Su Ping master, they were even more astonished. One of the students from Fengshan University knew about Su Ping's identity. He was not only the owner of this shop, but also an advanced teacher in the university. As for the other old customers, they did not know about Su Ping's identity.
The only thing they knew about this elegant and easy-going young man was that he was the owner of this shop. The other thing they knew about him was … money.
"Isn't that … Xu Kuang?"
"The one in the top 5?"
"I think I've heard that his battle pet was trained by the Pixie Pet Store. According to the Pixie Pet Store's official website, he's one of the Top 5!"
"Is that really him?"
The old customers were surprised, including the student. He knew that Su Ping had become a teacher at such a young age. However, Xu Kuang was one of the Top 5. The day before, Xu Kuang had defeated the judge's battle pet. If Xu Kuang were in Fengshan University, he would be able to defeat all the other advanced teachers.
How could such a genius call Su Ping master?
"Sir, I'm here again." Xu Kuang ran to the counter and said excitedly, "I want to rent more today!"
Su Ping darted a glance at him. "Go to the back of the line."
"Okay."
Xu Kuang went back to the line happily.
He was at the end of the line, but the old customers kept looking back. After all, this was a genius who had shocked the entire Longjiang Base City on TV. It was thrilling to see him so close to them.
Soon, the old customers received their pets from Su Ping. Since Xu Kuang was there, the old customers who were about to go to the test room to check the effects of their pets held back their urge to do so. They chatted with Su Ping and left.
Su Ping didn't understand the old customers' actions. He didn't care if they went to the test room or not. After all, the test room was built to be used.
"Sir, I want to rent more."
Xu Kuang finally arrived. As soon as he arrived at the counter, he couldn't help but ask Su Ping.
Su Ping knew what Xu Kuang was going to do but he didn't react much. "You're already one of the Top 5. Why do you still want to rent it?"
Xu Kuang was surprised. Su Ping didn't seem to be interested in renting the battle pet. Xu Kuang said in a hurry, "Sir, today is the day of the Top 5 finals. Without your Dark Dragon Hound, I would have been at the bottom!"
"Even if you were at the bottom, you would still be in the Top 5."
"Well … you're right. But don't people have high expectations for me? They think I can win the championship or the second place. If I can only win the fifth place, then …"
Su Ping said grumpily, "You still want to win the championship?"
Xu Kuang was shocked and knew that he had said something wrong. He quickly said, "No, no, master, I know that the champion will definitely be Martial Aunt. If I meet Martial Aunt, I will admit defeat directly. I will never be an enemy of Martial Aunt. I promise."
Su Ping didn't pay attention to his promise. After all, even if Xu Kuang wanted to, he couldn't. When it came to a critical moment, he could secretly break the rules and control the Dark Dragon Hound. Of course, that would be cheating. But he had decided on Su Lingyue and no one could take her away from him!
"There's no difference between the second place and the fifth place. Both will be forgotten," Su Ping said.
Xu Kuang produced a forced smile. "Sir, there's no difference. But for me, it means a lot. Please rent it to me. Please."
Su Ping looked at Xu Kuang and heaved a sigh. It seemed that Xu Kuang could no longer keep his pretentious heart in check.
"Never mind. I'll rent it to you one last time. Don't count on it in the future unless something special happens. Training your own pet is the way to go," Su Ping said.
Xu Kuang was overjoyed that Su Ping had agreed. He nodded. "Sir, don't worry. When the Elite League is over, I will work hard and improve myself. I will try my best to reach the fifth place on my own without any outside help!"
"That's your business. You don't have to tell me."
Su Ping said coldly, "Today, the rental price of the Dark Dragon Hound has increased. This time, it will be 800,000 astral coins per hour. Have you made up your mind?"
"800,000?" Xu Kuang was surprised. The previous price was 500,000. Now, it had increased by 300,000?
"Well … Sir, why did the price increase?" Xu Kuang asked carefully.
Su Ping answered, "Because it's my pleasure."
Xu Kuang was speechless. He felt sad. He guessed that he had been too enthusiastic and Su Ping had taken the opportunity to increase the price.
Xu Kuang heaved a sigh. His master was more experienced in this regard.
"Fine. Eight hundred thousand it is!" Xu Kuang made up his mind. At the same time, he remembered that after he won the fifth place the day before, he had received many offers for endorsements. He had even paid the deposit. The money offered was more than what he had paid to rent Su Ping's battle pets. He had covered his cost.
He could afford it even if the price was one million. It was worth it!
Su Ping darted a glance at Xu Kuang who seemed to be throwing caution to the wind. This guy's acting skills were too poor.
Even though the price had increased to 800,000 astral coins, Su Ping didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, renting the Dark Dragon Hound had brought Xu Kuang more profit than he had paid. Besides, Xu Kuang had also gained some fame. This was something that money couldn't buy in other pet stores!
Xu Kuang had gotten a bargain.
That being said, the price was set by the system and Su Ping couldn't change it. Besides, he had gotten used to this kind of "bargain".
"Make the payment," Su Ping said. At the same time, he summoned the Dark Dragon Hound.
Xu Kuang paid the money at once.
Today was the same. He rented the Dark Dragon Hound for eight hours.
Su Ping took out the rental contract and gave it to him. Then, he charged him.
"Sixty-four thousand energy points …" Su Ping felt better after checking the energy points. He sent a message to the Dark Dragon Hound, telling it to behave today and not make too much noise.
Earlier, the Dark Dragon Hound had lost control and almost killed the judge and the contestant. Su Ping was worried that Xu Kuang wouldn't be able to control the Dark Dragon Hound again.
The Dark Dragon Hound remembered the Heaven's Test. It was even more afraid of Su Ping. It nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
After the rental contract was signed, the contract between the Dark Dragon Hound and Su Ping became more vague. This made Su Ping a bit uncomfortable. He was still not used to renting his own pet.
At the same time, Su Lingyue came into the store with a thermal box in her hand.
Su Lingyue was surprised to see that the store was empty. She darted a look at Xu Kuang and the Dark Dragon Hound. "I heard that this is my brother's battle pet."
Xu Kuang grinned. "Yes. I rented it when I came here."
Su Lingyue nodded. She took one more look at the Dark Dragon Hound and then handed the thermal box to Su Ping. "Breakfast."
Su Ping didn't hesitate. He opened the box and dug in.
After breakfast, Su Ping decided to close the store since there wasn't much business for the day. He didn't ask Joanna to keep watch for him.
"Let's go."
Su Ping told Su Lingyue to wait outside while he put Tang Ruyan, who was still upset, into the scroll. He told Joanna to cultivate in the nursing pen and then closed the store.
