Fan Yujing chuckled. "Brother Su, don't worry. My sister is not on the same team as us. She is inexperienced so she can only train outside in the barren areas. Besides, she has a team to protect her. She won't be in any danger."
Su Ping understood. Then, he asked with curiosity, "Usually, students can only train in Class C barren areas, right?"
Fan Yujing said proudly, "My sister's grades are not bad, and so is her school. Therefore, she was directly recommended to come to a Class B Barren Area. The school specially contacted a team of explorers that was not inferior to ours to escort her all the way to the outer edge of the Barren Area."
"I see."
Su Ping understood.
That was the advantage and benefit of a famous school in the uptown area. That school was much better than the one his sister was studying at.
Both schools were famous but one of them was in the uptown area and was well-known in the entire Longjiang Base City. The other one was in the downtown area and its fame was limited to the downtown area and the slums.
"Hmm!"
Fan Xiaoyu replied with pride, "I may still be a student, but I am already an intermediate battle pet warrior at the upper position of the fourth rank. Besides, I have two pets of the fifth rank. As long as I don't run into any Astral Pets of the sixth rank, I will be able to get away in most cases!"
"That's good." Su Ping nodded.
Fan Xiaoyu was indeed one of the best among the students. She was similar to the master of the Lightning Rat he met. Fan Xiaoyu was even stronger. She was one step away from becoming a fifth-rank battle pet warrior.
Fan Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows. She was unhappy to see Su Ping's indifferent reaction.
However, she felt frustrated when she remembered the strength that Su Ping had demonstrated at the pet store. She was already excellent but her opponent was a monster.
How annoying!
She clenched her teeth.
"Xiao Fan, is this the new friend you've brought?" The strong man with whiskers had been watching Su Ping and Fan Xiaoyu bickering. He waited until they had nothing more to say before he asked the question.
Fan Yujing answered in a hurry, "Captain, this is the genius I told you about. Brother Su, this is our captain, Fan Ganglie, an advanced battle pet warrior."
"As expected, heroes come from the young. Brother SU is really young. You've just reached twenty, right?" Fan Ganglie's voice was rough and deep, but it was very kind.
Su Ping said, "I'm only eighteen."
"Eighteen?"
Fan Yujing and Fan Xiaoyu were both stunned.
Eighteen was already so strong?
Fan Xiaoyu was even more shocked. She was only 18 this year, which meant that she was the same age as Su Ping. But why was there such a huge gap between their strength?
Fan Ganglie and Li Ying were also a little surprised. They thought that Su Ping was young enough, but they didn't expect him to be even younger than they looked. He could already be considered a little brother.
They were going to explore the space rift with such a kid?
Su Ping frowned when he saw their reactions. He was only here to complete his mission. He didn't want to prove anything.
"This …" Fan Ganglie looked at Fan Yujing with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Fan Ganglie had heard about Su Ping from Fan Yujing. But after seeing him in person, Fan Ganglie found it hard to believe.
A person who could defeat Fan Yujing at the age of eighteen. Wasn't he a top seed that could only be cultivated by those major forces? Why would such a person come with them to explore the uncharted land?
Fan Yujing came back to his senses. He saw the looks from the captain and Li Ying. Of course, he knew what they were implying. To be honest, he was hesitating. Was it not Su Ping who did it, but someone else in the dark?
If that were the case, inviting Su Ping would be a big mistake.
Fan Ganglie saw that Fan Yujing was in a dilemma. He didn't question Fan Yujing directly. That would be too foolish. Only a person with zero EQ would do that.
Fan Ganglie said, "Brother SU, the space rift this time is very dangerous. If you want to join our team, you will have to register your identity first. Also, in order to make it easier for us to work together in battle, I hope you can summon your pet so that we can get familiar with it."
Through the pet test, they would be able to learn a thing or two about Su Ping's strength.
Of course, Su Ping could tell what Fan Ganglie was thinking. He knew that this was a tactful way of expressing himself. Secretly, Su Ping found it troublesome but he had to cooperate. He said, "Sure. But I have to make it clear that I am not joining your team. I am only here to help. I will leave after I help you find your lost pet. I have no intention of becoming an explorer."
If it weren't for the system's quest, he wouldn't have come to explore the uncharted land.
Wasn't it better to just sit in the store and make money? Why did he have to come to the frontline to provoke the Grim Reaper?
Fan Ganglie was surprised for a moment, but he soon understood. If Su Ping was really strong, given his talent, he wouldn't care to be an explorer.
"No problem." Fan Ganglie agreed. "However, the Federation has a rule that those who enter and exit the space rift must be explorers. Brother SU, you can register first and join the temporary team of explorers. Although the benefits of a temporary team are less, you will have the basic things that you should have."
"Temporary team?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. It will be written in the contract when you register later. You can take a look." Fan Ganglie put on a serious look and said, "Now, Brother Su, please show us your pet."
Su Ping glanced over. They all looked serious. Clearly, they were more concerned about whether or not he could meet the requirements. They didn't want Fan Yujing to waste his time and their expectations to be wasted.
"Okay."
He focused his mind and the mysterious patterns in the pet space emerged.
The Little Skeleton fell out from the space rift and fell to the ground with a crack.
"…"
Silence reigned.
But soon, the scattered bones reassembled. The Little Skeleton touched its head and lowered its head to check the bone blade inside its hip bone. After making sure that the blade was intact, the Little Skeleton trotted to Su Ping's feet and looked around to see what the enemy was doing.
"…"
Still, silence.
Looking at the Little Skeleton that was looking around, everyone's faces twitched.
After a long while, Fan Xiaoyu was the first to speak. She asked in a low voice, "Is this your pet?"
"Of course."
"…"
Fan Xiaoyu almost choked on her anger.
It's just a skeleton. What are you so proud of?
Fan Yujing was speechless. If there was something wrong with Su Ping, then he would be the one who had made the biggest mistake.
"Mr. … Su, is this your only pet?" Fan Yujing braced himself and asked.
Su Ping nodded. "Only this one for now."
Fan Yujing felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
"Aren't you running a pet store? How come you only have one pet?" Fan Xiaoyu looked at him in confusion.
"Do I have to get married every day when I run a wedding celebration?"
Su Ping retorted out of habit, but he knew that wasn't what Fan Yujing meant. He turned around, looked at the empty space, and said to the Little Skeleton in his mind, "Middle-rank sword skills."
The Little Skeleton understood and drew the blade quickly.
Maybe it was because they didn't pay much attention to this little thing. Apart from Fan Ganglie, the others didn't see how the Little Skeleton drew the blade.
Even Fan Ganglie only saw a blur. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the Little Skeleton had already grabbed the blade.
The Little Skeleton's posture at that moment was inexplicable!
Slash!
Bang!!
