"Hello."
Su Ping walked over. Since she was a customer, he had to be polite.
"Sir, I'm here to pick up my Astral Pet." Su Yanying looked away from the empty store when the store owner showed up. She said to Su Ping, "It's the Lightning Rat that was placed in your care half a month ago. How is it?"
"The owner of the Lightning Rat?" Su Ping was surprised.
Part of the memory came back to him.
Su Ping remembered it at once. He couldn't help but look at the girl with a strange expression.
Was she that lucky girl …
Su Ping felt a bit upset at the thought that he was about to return the Lightning Rat to its rightful owner. It was partly because of his feelings, but it was also because of his heartache …
After all, this was a super Lightning Rat that had learned the Ten Secret Skills!
Was he going to give it away just like that?
Well … this little thing was someone else's anyway.
Su Ping sighed. He felt bored. He said weakly, "It's fine. It can't be better. Come and pay the bill."
Su Yanying was surprised. Why did she feel that the store owner was speaking in a strange way? He seemed to be depressed?
She thought of something and said at once, "Sir, don't worry. I'm here to pick up the Lightning Rat in advance but the fees will still be the same. You won't get any less."
"Ha, ha …"
“？？”
Su Ping didn't bother to talk to her. He took out the deposit bill from the counter. His heart ached again when he saw the number on it.
He took a deep breath and tore off the bill slowly.
It was as if he was scraping off a piece of flesh from his body. His voice was filled with pain. "Apart from the deposit, there are 108 bucks left …" His voice was trembling. He was choking with sobs!
108 …
108 bucks!!
An Astral Pet that had learned the Ten Secret Skills was given away at a price that was as cheap as a cabbage!
"Well …"
Su Yanying always felt that this shop owner was strange, but she could not put her finger on it. She paid quickly and said, "Keep the money. Boss, can you take me to see my Astral Pet?" She was eager to see the Lightning Rat and make sure that it was safe and sound.
After all, some pet stores would make mistakes when raising pets, which could cause the pets to fall sick. While such situations were rare, she didn't want such an unfortunate thing to happen to her at this critical juncture.
The corner of Su Ping's mouth twitched when he heard the notification. Finally, he turned around and said, "Wait here."
He left the counter and slowly walked into the pet room.
Looking at the Lightning Rat sleeping soundly in the array of stone fangs, Su Ping thought of the three days of fighting side by side. He was reluctant to part with the Lightning Rat.
"Get up. It's time for you to go home." With a sigh, Su Ping picked up the Lightning Rat gently.
The Lightning Rat woke up with a start. Only when it saw that it was Su Ping did it relax. Then, it closed its eyes and went back to sleep.
During the three days of life-and-death training, the Lightning Rat could only sleep peacefully when it was with Su Ping.
This was a habit and a form of trust!
Su Ping put on a bitter smile. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and walked out of the pet room.
"My Lightning Rat."
Su Yanying's eyes glowed when she saw the Lightning Rat in Su Ping's arms.
The moment she saw the Lightning Rat, she knew that it was her Lightning Rat. While the Lightning Rat's appearance had changed slightly, the feeling of blood connection that came from the contract could not be wrong.
However, what puzzled her was that when she entered the pet store, she couldn't sense the Lightning Rat through the contract. It was as if something was blocking it.
Su Yanying was not in the mood to speculate. She took a few steps forward and took the Lightning Rat from Su Ping's arms.
Once again, the Lightning Rat woke up with a start. When it saw that it was Su Yanying, its sleepy eyes lit up. The Lightning Rat threw itself at her happily and squealed.
Su Ping was standing on the side. Somehow, he was touched by the Lightning Rat's squealing. He was so touched that he wanted to strangle the Lightning Rat to death.
This little thing … It could squeak as soon as it was with its master.
The Lightning Rat had never behaved like this in front of him.
But Su Ping knew that the emotional transmission maintained by the contract had a strong influence on Astral Pets. This was also the reason why most Astral Pets would not betray their masters. They were even willing to die for their masters!
"Let's go. We're going home."
Su Yanying was relieved to see that the Lightning Rat was unharmed and only a bit thin.
She had heard that some immoral pet stores would cut corners and reduce the food for their pets in order to make more money. She didn't bother to look into it.
As long as the Lightning Rat was not sick, it would be fine. After all, treatment would take a long time.
Su Yanying put the Lightning Rat on the ground and patted its head. Then, she didn't even bother to look at Su Ping. She had given this store a bad review. She would never come back!
After the Lightning Rat landed, it jumped around Su Yanying happily. It was especially happy to see its master whom it hadn't seen for a long time.
Su Yanying pushed the door open and left. Soon, she and her pet disappeared from Su Ping's sight.
After the Lightning Rat hopped out of the store, Su Ping slowly withdrew his gaze and heaved a sigh.
Right then, the system suddenly sent a message —
"Currency detected. [Store] opened …"
"Beep. Currency has been automatically converted into energy points."
Su Ping was surprised. Before he could check, he heard another message.
"Task: [Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation] has been established. The host must breed a pet that belongs to you within a week."
"Task reward: a random skill book for battle pet warriors."
"Punishment for failure: the host's rating will be lowered. When the rating fails, the host will be obliterated!"
A skill book for battle pet warriors?
Su Ping was surprised. But I'm not a battle pet warrior. My cells don't have the power of the original core.
"The host can buy the 'Awakening Potion' from the store and become a battle pet warrior," the system said.
Su Ping was stunned. Then, he breathed heavily. Awakening Potion?
He was destined to be an ordinary person at birth. Could he change his fate and become a battle pet warrior?!
It had to be noted that.
Talent was determined at birth!
Only a small number of people could awaken their talent later in life. But such people were less than one in a million!
Of course, it was said that the federal government had developed some special plants picked from the stars to produce potions that could greatly increase the probability of awakening talents later in life.
But the price of those potions was only for the rich. Those without a net worth of hundreds of millions would not be able to get them!
As for those rich people, who would take the risk to become a battle pet warrior and fight at the frontline, except for a moment of curiosity?
"Where is the store?"
Su Ping was eager to get the "Awakening Potion." He had to get it no matter what. After all, battle pet warriors were vastly different from ordinary people, both in terms of strength and survivability!
The simplest comparison was between Su Ping and his sister.
Ever since Su Lingyue entered the Academy of Astral Pets at the age of twelve, Su Ping had never been able to gain an advantage in a physical fight. He had always been defeated!
Therefore, over the years, he had learned not to fight if he could argue.
