I have to go to the cultivation sites to catch them. But I don't have much time. What if I just leave …
Su Ping was worried.
He was afraid that a strike would break out as soon as he entered the cultivation site. By then, no one would be able to contact him while he was in the cultivation site.
He frowned.
In the end, Su Ping made up his mind. He had to go to the cultivation sites to find his battle pets!
The final battle would come sooner or later. Staying there and worrying wouldn't do him any good. He would have no other choice if the strike did happen. Still, he chose to leave the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon there.
If the Longjiang Base City was attacked while he was in the cultivation sites, the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon would be able to hold the fort for a while.
After all, the combined strength of those battle pets was as good as Su Ping's.
Su Ping was a bit relieved.
It was okay that he didn't have any battle pets. He wouldn't die in the cultivation sites anyway. He could just waste some energy to revive himself.
Su Ping called out the Little Skeleton and the other battle pets right away. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
They had been trained by Su Ping and traveled to many cultivation sites with Su Ping. The battle pets had more or less become mysterious and powerful.
Looking at them, Su Ping remembered the time when he had just arrived in that world and met them.
Back then, they were still weak, low-rank battle pets.
The Little Skeleton was still a skeleton of the lowest rank.
The Dark Dragon Hound was a second-rank Moon Chasing Hound that had been abandoned by its master.
The Purple Python was hatched with a sixth-rank bloodline. It was still at the sixth-rank, but its combat strength was comparable to an Ocean State beast king. It had the aura of an ancient serpent.
The Inferno Dragon had the best bloodline. The dragon's aura was getting stronger and stronger. Su Ping didn't think he could find a dragon more powerful than the Inferno Dragon on the Blue Star!
"I'll leave this to you."
Su Ping passed his thoughts to the battle pets through the contract.
After being with Su Ping for a long time, they understood what he meant as soon as he transmitted his thoughts.
The Dark Dragon Hound growled and patted the floor of the shop with its paw, as if to say, "Leave it to me."
If it had been any other place, the floor would have already cracked open.
The Purple Python flicked its forked tongue and moved its body slightly. It was eager to fight as well.
Su Ping darted a look at the Purple Python. He had given the Purple Python the task of guarding that street. In case the Longjiang Base City was breached, that street would be the last line of defense. Since it was within the store's territory, the Purple Python was absolutely safe.
Compared to the Dark Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon, the Purple Python was the weakest. Su Ping was still worried about it.
"Take care of them for me."
Su Ping stroked Little Skeleton's head and said gently.
The little skeleton raised its head to look at him. Its empty eye sockets seemed a little vacant, but it still nodded its head.
The vertebrae connected to the skull were shaking as it nodded, as if they were about to fall off.
Su Ping smiled and said to the Inferno Dragon, "Big one, don't push yourself too hard if you run into something you can't defeat."
The Inferno Dragon scratched its head, trying to understand what "something you can't defeat" meant. Half a minute later, the Inferno Dragon nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Goose … Goose points down …"
What kind of accent is that …
Su Ping shook his head speechlessly. He explained the situation to them one by one and then asked Joanna, "Can you find me forty Void State beasts?"
"That's not going to be easy."
Joanna frowned. Beast kings at the Void State were considered lesser lords in the Demigod Burial. She could kill them easily, but it would take her a long time to find them.
After all, these Little Lord ranked monsters had their own territories. Normally, there would only be one or two Little Lord ranked monsters in an area. Unless they found a Great Lord's territory, these Great Lords would usually have many Little Lord ranked fighters around them.
Su Ping could see that she was in deep thought. He knew he was troubling her. After all, time was of the essence. It would not be easy to find so many Void State beast kings in such a short time.
Besides, as his employee, Joanna had helped him a lot.
"As the owner of the pet store, your employee has fulfilled her obligations. You can assign tasks to your employee for this extra task. If the employee can complete the tasks, she will be rewarded accordingly." The system's voice echoed in Su Ping's mind.
"…"
Every time the system spoke, it was as if it was peeking into his mind.
Su Ping didn't feel like complaining anymore. He felt powerless.
Luckily, he was single at the moment.
Or else …
He shuddered at the thought!
"Don't worry. A straight man like you will never find a girlfriend," the system said calmly.
"…"
F * ck!
Su Ping couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't want to bicker with the system. "What is the reward you mentioned? Am I the one who gives the rewards? "
"You can choose the rewards yourself. But the rewards must be from your own items. You have no right to give out rewards for free," the system answered.
"…"
Su Ping was speechless. He knew that the system wouldn't be so kind as to give out rewards for him.
"Are you going to curse me again?"
"How would you know that I was cursing you if you didn't peek into my mind?"
"If you didn't curse me, how would I be able to read your thoughts openly?"
"F * ck you …"
"Second time," the system said calmly.
Su Ping took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Let the great system show you the way. As the owner, you have 50 employee points at your disposal every quarter. You can reward any employee who performs well. You can also give them as rewards for completing tasks. I'm sure they will be interested," the system said casually.
Su Ping was surprised.
He had 50 employee points at his disposal?
He was confused. "How come I didn't know that before?"
"I didn't tell you. How did you know?"
"… Then why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask me. Why should I tell you?"
"…"
Su Ping felt that his head was about to explode.
Was the system sent by God to punish him?
"I'm here to save you. Otherwise, you'll just be a weak chicken that hasn't awakened," the system said calmly.
"…"
Su Ping was defeated in a second.
Su Ping didn't want to embarrass himself any further. He chose to get down to business first.
He pulled up Joanna's employee page. Joanna's points had risen to 165!
When he signed the contract with Joanna, the initial employee points were 100!
200 points meant an excellent employee. If the points were lower than 80, the employee benefits would be deducted.
During her time as an employee, Joanna had received some quests from the system and she had successfully completed them. For example, she had treated the injured battle pets that Su Ping's customers had entrusted her with. She had also received praises from the customers when she received them. All of these were included in the system's scoring mechanism.
"35 more points and I'll be an excellent employee. I'll have a chance to travel around the universe for seven days …" All of a sudden, Su Ping felt envious of Joanna.
What did it mean to travel around the universe for seven days?
It was like the unlimited resurrection that the system had rewarded him with!
He could resurrect as many times as he wanted during those seven days and choose any plane!
Back then, he had chosen a top cultivation site, the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. Joanna's goal when she signed the contract was to enter the Archean Divinity.
During those days, Su Ping remembered all the help that Joanna had given him. Su Ping was happy to help her fulfill her wish.
"I can ask one of my God's Servants to come and catch them for us."
At this moment, Joanna suddenly spoke up.
Su Ping was surprised. "A God's Servant?"
"Yes, a guard that serves my God's Servant," Joanna said.
Su Ping had been curious about her God's Servant for a long time. He asked, "Given your God's Servant's abilities, will it be faster if your God's Servant takes action?"
Joanna wore a complicated expression. "I want to, but my God's Servant … can't."
"Can't?"
"Well, it's a long story."
Su Ping looked at her and asked, "Then, will your true self be in danger if you mobilize the guards around your true self?"
"I don't think so. As long as we're fast enough." Joanna shook her head.
Su Ping understood. Joanna had said that her God's Servant's Servant was unable to move when they entered the Demigod Burial. She was most likely trapped somewhere or recovering from injuries.
"Then hurry up." Su Ping knew that he had to rely on Joanna now.
"I have a mission for you. Take it."
Su Ping asked the system in his mind, "How do I give her the mission?"
"Just write down the mission and the rewards. I'll send them to her." The system's tone suddenly became gentle.
A transparent window appeared in front of Su Ping. On the top was the mission page and on the bottom was the reward window.
Su Ping thought about it and wrote down the mission.
Help him catch forty Void State beasts and bring them back to the store.
Reward: 35 points … and a hug!
