"Sir!"
Zhong Lingtong dashed out of the store. She was pleasantly surprised.
Tang Ruyan was right behind her. She looked at Su Ping with a smile.
"Yes, I'm back."
Su Ping felt better to see them. He nodded with a smile.
The store was still open.
Before he left, Su Ping asked Joanna to look after the store. As an official employee, she had the right to look after the store for Su Ping. However, she couldn't provide advanced services such as professional training.
She could help Su Ping with simple business projects such as pet food sales and pet boarding.
"I see that you've found your sister."
Tang Ruyan smiled at Su Lingyue who was standing behind Su Ping.
Su Lingyue bit her lips and darted a look at Su Ping.
"Is this my master's sister? What should I call her?" Zhong Lingtong stared at Su Lingyue curiously. Su Lingyue was about the same age as her but she was very pretty. There was something cold and aloof about her. However, she was a bit timid as if she had done something wrong.
"Call her whatever you want. Just call her by her real name." Su Ping said casually. He didn't care about the way people addressed each other. They were all young people and there was no need to make such a distinction.
Zhong Lingtong blinked. Her real name? That was too casual.
"Is she your student?" Su Lingyue was surprised by Zhong Lingtong's address. She turned around and looked at Su Ping. Since when did Su Ping have a student?
Su Lingyue thought of Su Ping's strength. Su Ping was indeed qualified to have a student.
"Yes."
Su Ping replied casually. He walked into the store and asked, "Did anything happen while I was away?"
"No. Our store is famous across the entire Longjiang Base City. No one dares to make trouble here. You don't know this, but the Pixie Pet Store is the best pet store in the Longjiang Base City. Every day, people line up outside our store until the end of the street. All of them behave and don't dare to make trouble."
Tang Ruyan replied.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised, but at the same time, he didn't feel too surprised.
The standards of the Pixie Pet Store were far better than other pet stores in all aspects. It was only natural that the Pixie Pet Store was famous.
In the old days of the Longjiang Base City, the five major families controlled all kinds of industries and resources. The five major families were still competing with each other, but they wouldn't compete with him when it came to pet stores.
As a result, the Pixie Pet Store's fame spread without any hindrance. It was only natural that the store would become the most popular pet store in the Longjiang Base City.
"I'm back."
In the shop, Joanna, who was sitting behind the counter, saw Su Ping come in and stood up calmly.
Su Ping glanced at her and nodded slightly. "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is what I should do," Joanna said calmly.
"How's the store's income?" Su Ping asked.
"While you were away, we couldn't provide professional training services. We only had general training, pet food sales, and nursing pens. The total income was more than two million." Joanna calculated like a housekeeper.
Su Ping nodded. The income was within his expectations.
Without professional training, the income wouldn't be that high. Professional training was the main source of income. Of course, it would be more difficult. He would have to do the training himself and it would cost him a lot of time and effort.
"Right, your original self is a god of order, right?"
Su Ping suddenly remembered something. He didn't try to hide it from the others. After all, they might not be able to understand what he was talking about. Even if they did, he wouldn't care. "Do you know what kind of person can maintain an immortal physical body after being dead for so many years? Do you know what kind of person can retain their will when they were alive?"
He was asking about the Dragon Tower in the Valiant Academy, the finger that Heaven Murder King had cut off!
"An immortal physical body?"
Joanna didn't expect that Su Ping would ask about that. "Why do you ask?"
"There must be a reason. Tell me about it." Su Ping didn't want to go into details.
Joanna didn't ask further. She thought for a while and said, "Immortal bodies can be immortal for a short period of time. That's what you call Starry Sky experts. Once they reach the Starry Sky level, they can control the power of laws and the power of time. They can travel across the universe and destroy Starry Sky battleships!"
"For a short period of time? How short? "
Su Ping frowned.
"One epoch, that is, one hundred thousand years in your calendar! Of course, one hundred thousand years is the weakest of the Star Rank. The stronger ones can live for a million years, which is ten epochs. My original self can live for a million years. When I was alive, I could live for a hundred epochs. After I died, my body wouldn't decay for a million years! "
Joanna added, "The stronger ones, the Superior Gods, can live for an entire epoch! They won't be destroyed even if an epoch collapses! "
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He felt that the time unit she mentioned was too large.
He didn't know that the Star Rank could be so horrifying.
The weakest ones at the Star Rank could live for a hundred thousand years!
The average legendary battle pet warriors could only live for a thousand years!
The legendary battle pet warriors at the Fate State could only live for ten thousand years!
There was only one rank between the Fate State and the Star Rank. Once the gap was crossed, the difference in lifespan would be more than a hundred times!
"What do you mean by an epoch?"
Su Ping couldn't help but ask.
Su Lingyue, Tang Ruyan, and Zhong Lingtong were standing next to him. They were all dumbfounded. What were they talking about?
One hundred thousand years? One million years? Are they talking about some fantasy story?
"An epoch is the longest unit of time."
Joanna heaved a sigh. "An epoch can last for a million epochs or even longer! For example, I was born in the Archean Divinity World. The Archean Divinity World had existed since the end of the Primeval Age to the Antiquity Age. During the Antiquity Age, there were many factions that rose to power and fought each other. In the end, the Archean Divinity World was shattered. The place where I was born was one of the shattered continents of the Archean Divinity World.
"The Primeval Age lasted for millions of epochs, and gave birth to countless experts. However, the river of time rose and fell, and even Paramount Gods perished. And yet, as long as no one destroyed them, their corpses would remain intact for an entire generation!"
Su Lingyue and the other two were completely baffled by her words. Their minds were unable to process what they were hearing.
However, they were still able to tell that Joanna had come from some shattered continent.
They had guessed that Joanna wasn't from the Subcontinent District based on her flawless appearance, her horrifying strength, and her exotic face. They were convinced that Joanna was from an unknown place.
"An epoch …"
Su Ping murmured to himself. The will and the boundless world he had sensed in the Dragon Tower didn't seem to belong to the current era.
That was to say, Heaven Murder King could have been one of the Superior Gods from the primordial era, or even stronger! Trending topics
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given himself such an arrogant name.
"That's too far away …"
Su Ping wanted to reach the Star Rank but he knew the gap was too wide. He had to shake his head. He wasn't even a legendary battle pet warrior and he was far from reaching the Star Rank, not to mention the Star Rank.
Su Ping said to Su Lingyue, "Go home first. Mom and Dad are worried about you. Tell them that I'm home. I have something else to do so I won't be able to see them."
"What? Oh, yes. "
Su Lingyue came back to her senses and said yes.
Before she left, she threw a strange look at Joanna. She knew that the girl had an extraordinary background. Su Lingyue was right. She couldn't understand a thing.
"Tang, there's something I need you to do," Su Ping said.
Tang Ruyan moved her eyes away from Joanna. "What is it?" she asked.
Then, she mumbled, "I'm older than you. You should call me Tang Dynasty."
"The Tang Dynasty is gone. You're not qualified to be a manager."
Su Ping told her about the Li Yuanfeng family matters. "Given your current strength, you can deal with anyone as long as you don't run into a legendary battle pet warrior. I'll leave that to you. If you can do it well, you might be appreciated by that legendary battle pet warrior and he might give you a small gift."
Tang Ruyan blinked. She had to take care of the family matters for a legendary battle pet warrior?
"Isn't there a legendary battle pet warrior? Who dares to disobey a legendary battle pet warrior?" Tang Ruyan was curious.
Su Ping answered grumpily, "On the surface, of course. I'm telling you to clean up the mess and get rid of those who are trying to stir up trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't need you. That legendary battle pet warrior can take care of everything."
Tang Ruyan pouted. "Okay. I'll do it as soon as possible."
"You don't have to do it that fast. You have to do it well."
"Don't worry. I know what to do."
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He looked at Zhong Lingtong and said, "I have other things to do. Don't stay in the store. Go and study on your own when you have time. I'll show you the way. The path to becoming a trainer is long and you have to rely on your own perception and observation. Go and learn on your own."
Zhong Lingtong was surprised. Wasn't he saying that he was going to leave her to do all the work?
"But, but, sir, you haven't shown me the way yet."
She felt wronged.
Show her the way?
Su Ping had never taught her anything about training since she had been there. He hadn't even given her any pointers. How was that supposed to be showing her the way?
"Who said that? Aren't you in my store?" Su Ping pointed to the door.
Zhong Lingtong opened her mouth wide, dumbfounded.
You call that a door?
Su Ping gave her an affirmative look.
Zhong Lingtong opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She had to look at Su Ping, feeling wronged.
"Go back to your work. Close the store for today. I have other things to do," Su Ping said.
"You're not doing business today?" Joanna was surprised. Su Ping had just returned. Considering how greedy Su Ping was, shouldn't he be receiving customers right away to start the professional training business?
But Su Ping seemed to be serious. Joanna didn't ask further.
Right then, she heard a hubbub outside the store. Many people were hurrying into the store.
"Ha, ha, ha, Mr. Su, you're finally back. I was just about to ask you to train my pets." A hearty laugh came from outside. It was Qin Duhuang.
Su Ping turned around and looked at him. "We're closed for the day. No customers."
"Ha, ha … what?"
Qin Duhuang stopped laughing as if he had burped all of a sudden. He stared at Su Ping in astonishment. Closing the store as soon as he came back?
Su Ping winked at Joanna, hinting for her to go and inform the customers.
Joanna got the message. She went outside and announced that the store was closed.
The customers who were on their way to the store stopped and looked at each other. Soon, they began to whine in disappointment.
Qin Duhuang, who had just entered the store, was kicked out by Joanna. He didn't look like a legendary battle pet warrior at all. He was embarrassed. But he didn't dare to throw a tantrum in front of Joanna. After reaching the legendary rank, he could faintly sense the profound and horrifying aura coming from Joanna. This girl was a legendary battle pet warrior as well, and a horrifying one at that.
Qin Duhuang couldn't understand why Su Ping would let a legendary battle pet warrior work as an employee and run the store for him. There were many things that Su Ping did that he couldn't understand.
…
After the store was closed, only Su Ping and Joanna were left in the store.
"Time to get down to business," Su Ping said.
Joanna frowned. She could tell that Su Ping wasn't in a good mood. Su Ping didn't show it but she could feel it. Maybe that was the sixth sense of a woman, no, a goddess.
"What do you want to do?" Joanna asked.
Su Ping didn't say anything. He contacted the system and brought up the list of cultivation sites.
"Is there a cultivation site for the Solar Bulwark?" Su Ping asked the system.
He had made up his mind on his way back.
If he wanted to improve his rank quickly, he could do so by improving his Solar Bulwark and the Chaos Star Chart, apart from reaching the legendary rank.
He had been working on the Chaos Star Chart all the time. But the Chaos Star Chart required time. The only thing he could think of was the Solar Bulwark.
He was only at the first level of the Solar Bulwark. With the help of divine energy and the Heaven's Test, his physical body was as strong as a battle pet warrior at the peak of the titled rank.
He had asked the five major families of the Longjiang Base City to help him find the materials for the second level of the Solar Bulwark. But so far, he only had two materials that the Master of the Hancheng Base City had sent him as a token of gratitude.
He didn't even know if he could find the rest of the materials on the Blue Star.
After his trip to the Deep Caves, Su Ping suddenly realized that he had to find the materials for the Solar Bulwark as soon as possible. Why didn't he go to the place where the Solar Bulwark lived?
He would be able to find the materials faster there.
If he could reach the second level of the Solar Bulwark, Su Ping's physical body would become even stronger. He would be able to kill legendary battle pet warriors at the Ocean State with ease!
According to the records, the second level of the Solar Bulwark would allow him to activate some of the Solar Bulwark's skills, which were highly destructive. That was the fastest way to improve his combat strength.
"Yes, the world where the Solar Bulwark lives is a Primordial Plane. The price is high and it is one of the top planes," the system said in Su Ping's mind.
Su Ping said, "Help me find it."
