As an employee, Joanna could look after the store for Su Ping.
For example, she could receive customers and collect money for him.
As for the pet training …
Joanna didn't have the right to go into the cultivation site without permission, unless Su Ping took her there.
But Joanna could help Su Ping with the dummy training.
All he had to do was to choose a plane for the dummy training before he left the store. Then, he would ask Joanna to take out and replace the battle pets she had trained from the storage space of the dummy training function.
That way, even when Su Ping was away, Joanna could still run the store for him.
Even though she could only do general training for customers, she could still make some money.
After giving some instructions to Joanna, Su Ping looked at Tang Ruyan. This time, he didn't put her into the scroll. Joanna would be too busy to handle everything by herself.
"Help her," Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan.
Tang Ruyan nodded happily since she didn't have to go into the scroll.
Ever since she had witnessed Joanna's strength, she had never dared to argue with her again.
Su Ping was relieved. Joanna was in charge of a place in the Demigod Burial and she was good at management. She wouldn't have a problem keeping an eye on the store for him.
…
After dealing with the matters at the store, Su Ping returned home during lunch and told his mother and Su Lingyue about what had happened.
He had to go out.
It might take him a few days. He would be back in five days at most.
Five days was because the mission only lasted for seven days and he had almost spent two days.
Su Lingyue was curious but she didn't ask any questions. She knew that Su Ping was different from before. There were bound to be things that she couldn't know about.
If she wanted to know, she had to work hard to become stronger so that she could stay close to him.
As the mother of the family, his mother asked Su Ping a lot of questions, but Su Ping evaded them all.
Su Ping didn't feel annoyed. After all, only a family member would be so concerned.
…
After lunch, Su Ping prepared to set off today.
He left just like that.
They took the underground train that would take them to the base city where the headquarters of the Breeders' Association was located.
As for why Su Ping didn't ride a pet because that would have been faster, the reason was simple: Su Ping didn't know the way.
So far, Su Ping had only stayed in the Longjiang Base City. He had never been to any other base city. That was a common occurrence in that era.
Only those who were very active would travel from base city to base city.
Although there were underground tracks and ordinary people could travel to other base cities, most people preferred to stay in the base city where they lived. After all, the underground tracks were not 100% safe. Accidents would happen every few years, resulting in casualties.
Some of the underground beasts were hard to guard against.
Knowing that Su Ping was leaving that day, Li Qingru went to prepare a change of clothes for Su Ping. She packed a bag full of food and snacks.
Su Ping couldn't say no since she had already packed everything. He had to take the bag.
"Time to go."
Su Ping said goodbye to his mother and Su Lingyue.
This was the first time that Su Ping would go on a long trip. Both of them were worried. They wanted to see Su Ping off at the station but Su Ping turned them down.
It was just a trip. Su Ping had never been to another base city but he wasn't afraid at all. He was strong enough to go anywhere he wanted.
Of course, in his mother's eyes, regardless of whether he was a titled battle pet warrior or not, he was still a child.
Su Ping had to ask Su Lingyue to stall his mother while he hailed a cab and left.
…
The subway entrance was located in the most prosperous area of the Red Moon District. There was only one entrance to the shantytown.
Su Ping took a cab for two hours before he arrived at the entrance of the Red Moon Station. While it was still a shantytown, the surrounding buildings were flourishing. It felt like an uptown area.
All the buildings were tall and the streets were clean and tidy.
Su Ping saw many tourists with bags of various sizes. Most of them were ordinary people without astral powers. There were also some teams with astral powers. They seemed to be adventurous battle pet warriors who were trying to find a way out in another base city.
Su Ping was wearing a mask as a disguise. He was quite famous in the Longjiang Base City. Once he revealed his identity, he would cause a traffic jam.
He followed the crowd to the underground ticketing area.
There were many posters on both sides of the corridor. Su Ping saw Su Lingyue and her battle pet, the Moonfrost Dragon.
The Elite League was still going strong in this place.
Su Ping saw several types of tickets in the ticketing area.
There were general hard seats, soft sleepers, single-room cabins, and private suites.
The general hard seats and soft sleepers cost hundreds and thousands respectively, which were affordable for the general public and the elites. As for the single-room cabins, it was outrageous. The price was over a hundred thousand!
Depending on the distance to the base city, the price would be lower.
As for the best private suites, the price was over a million!
Su Ping believed that few people would be willing to spend that much money just to get to the base city.
Even he felt sorry for the price. No one would spend a million on a ride.
That being said, apart from the different comforts, there was another benefit to the different types of cabins. The private suites were made of a special alloy with high defense. Not even missiles would be able to hurt the private suites. At best, the private suites could withstand attacks from beasts of the eighth rank at the Underground Realm.
Even though the suites would be pulled apart, the suites would not be torn apart. In case of an accident, the passengers inside would have a chance to survive.
Su Ping believed that those private cabins were meant for ordinary people and rich people.
After all, the titled battle pet warriors who were willing to spend a million would be safe even if they ran into ninth-rank beasts. They didn't need to be protected by private suites.
To avoid trouble, Su Ping chose a single-room cabin.
This was a carriage with several private rooms. In the private rooms, there were individual rooms. This way, he could cultivate while he was on his way.
He was not in need of money. Of course, it was unnecessary for him to spend a million on an entire cabin. It would be a waste.
"Sir, please take your ticket with you."
The girl behind the counter smiled sweetly when she saw the ticket Su Ping had bought.
Su Ping took the ticket. The ticket was dark blue in color and had some texture. Su Ping noticed that the tickets in other people's hands could be bent at will. They were as thin as a piece of paper.
He left the ticket counter and looked for the waiting room according to the information on the ticket.
There were fewer people in the single-room waiting room than in the other waiting rooms. The environment was better as well. People were sitting on the sofa.
Su Ping noticed that the people in the waiting room were either battle pet warriors with strong auras or ordinary people in expensive clothes.
He found a random seat and sat down. He closed his eyes to rest.
Not long afterward, he heard the sound of jets coming from afar. Then came the whistling of the wind. Su Ping opened his eyes. Through the bulletproof glass, he could see two bright lights in the dark tunnel in front of him.
The train was coming.
Su Ping sized up the train with curiosity.
It looked like a subway but there were some differences. There was a ferocious beast face at the front of the train, which was quite realistic. It was as if a beast's head had been transplanted onto the train.
The train was as wide as four or five high-speed trains.
There were special vibration sensors under the wheels. If one didn't see it with their eyes, the beasts would only think that the train was a huge beast moving underground and they would instinctively avoid it.
Soon, the train arrived at the station and stopped.
Su Ping saw that there were many people in the carriages. In some carriages, there were only a few people.
He noticed that he could see through some of the carriages that were blocked by metal. He could see the heat of the people inside, just like thermal imaging.
However, Su Ping couldn't see through some of the carriages. The materials of the carriages were special.
