"How much can the aptitude test raise the price?"
Su Ping asked the system in his mind after reading the data of the beasts.
The system answered calmly.
"That depends on the quality of the product. The quality of the product is a hidden data. If the product is not tested, the customers can only judge the product through the increase in combat power. But if the product is tested, then they can directly see whether the product is inferior or ordinary."
"So, the purpose of the test is to let people understand it directly?"
"That's right."
What a … profiteer! Su Ping cursed in his mind. Luckily, he didn't agree to pay the ten thousand energy points for the test. He could tell whether the pet's aptitude was good or bad just by looking at the increase in combat strength.
"You can't say that. Some people are just too lazy to calculate. Isn't it better to see it directly? Also, some pets' combat strength increase is high, but do you know whether they are inferior or superior in their own species? "
"Some dragons with top bloodlines may be at the later stage of the Void State, but their combat strength can reach forty or even fifty. Wouldn't they be superior in your definition? But as a matter of fact, such an increase in combat strength can only be considered inferior in their own species! "
Stupid system … peeping again … Su Ping complained in his mind. Still, he was not convinced. "What's the difference? If I had to choose, I would choose this one even if it was inferior. I would choose the one with the strongest combat strength and the best cost-performance ratio. "
"That's how shallow your vision is," the system said calmly.
The system said casually, "Some experts choose battle pets based on their aptitudes. If you're a dragon and you're able to dominate a group of rats of your rank, but you're inferior to dragons, then what's the point of having you? I want to buy a dragon of the best quality, a more powerful one. Do you understand? "
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He understood what was going on.
That was something set up for the powerful warriors who were in pursuit of the best battle pets.
But on the Blue Star, that kind of setting wouldn't be useful, unless it was on a stage as vast as the Interstellar Federation.
After all, in a place like Blue Star, combat power was everything. No matter how high one's aptitude was, it had to be nurtured. If you were killed before you could even grow, what was the point of having aptitude?
"Then I'll try appraising one." Su Ping decided to appraise the beast at the Void State that had the highest combat strength enhancement. A combat strength of 38.7 was already superior to other beasts of the same rank.
"Confirm the appraisal?"
"Confirmed."
-10000！
The energy points were reduced by ten thousand. At the same time, on the interface of the pet cabin in front of Su Ping, a ray of colorful light came out from the picture of the beast. The next second, the light disappeared and everything returned to normal.
Su Ping quickly clicked on it and saw that there was an additional attribute on the monster's information bar.
Aptitude: Low (Above)
Low-class …? Su Ping was surprised. He didn't expect this result. He had thought that the Aptitude would be at least average but it was only slightly lower than average.
"The Blue Universe Crystalline Dragon has a Star Rank bloodline to begin with. It has absorbed a lot of strange materials and has undergone a slight mutation. The Blue Universe Crystalline Dragon has a high aptitude. It is not surprising that the Blue Universe Crystalline Dragon has such an increase in combat strength. Among the Blue Universe Crystalline Dragons with high aptitudes, a Void State Crystalline Dragon can easily defeat other Fate State beasts," the system explained.
Su Ping was speechless. Soon, he thought of something. He checked the price of the beast at once.
The energy points were reduced from 38.7 million to 34.83 million.
The price was reduced?!
Su Ping's eyes widened.
Damn!
After the appraisal, the price of the most expensive battle pet he had was reduced by a few million. Su Ping did a rough calculation and found that the price was reduced by 10%!
"As I said before, after the appraisal, if the pet's aptitude is good, the price will be increased. On the other hand, if the pet's aptitude is average, the price will be reduced."
The system said casually, "As the best pet store in all the universes of all time, the pets sold can't be of low aptitudes. If they are of medium aptitudes, they will be sold at the original price. If they are of lower aptitudes, the price will be lowered accordingly. If they are of higher aptitudes, the price will be raised accordingly.
"You didn't say anything about the price reduction!" Su Ping bit his teeth. He was sure that he had never said anything like that!
"Is that so? Maybe. But you should have thought about it when I said that aptitude can affect the price. Since aptitude can increase the price, it can also decrease the price. That is the law of all things. How can the price only go up and not down?" The system sounded casual. It didn't feel guilty that it had "forgotten."
Su Ping: "…"
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. "So, you are saying that the battle pets sold in the store must be of average aptitudes?"
"That's right. You have learned quickly."
"Then, I won't appraise any of the other battle pets." Su Ping gnashed his teeth.
"Okay." The system knew that Su Ping was on the verge of exploding. "When you run into pets with average aptitudes, you don't have the confidence to appraise them. You don't want to embarrass the store by selling them. Just let the customers choose. They are free to choose."
Su Ping didn't know what to say.
He had sold those Void State battle pets at such a low price. He was already giving out benefits. But when it came to the system, he felt that he was cheating the customers.
It's my fault for not being able to keep up with your Purcell …
Su Ping gave up on the rest of the battle pets. Even the most powerful battle pet had been appraised as having an average aptitude. He didn't dare to recklessly appraise the rest of the battle pets.
"Maybe the ones with low combat strength have low bloodlines. What if they have such combat strength because they have higher aptitudes?" the system suggested.
Peeping again … Su Ping had become numb. He snorted to himself. "I will think about this when I have a better understanding of some beasts."
After that incident, he felt that his knowledge of the beasts was not enough.
Although he had seen more Monster Beasts than anyone else on the Cerulean Planet in terms of species, he had seen more.
But the thing was, he had seen most of the beasts, but he didn't know much about them. He didn't know what bloodlines those beasts had. What were their average combat strength? In the future, if he wanted to appraise the best battle pets "safely" and at the same time save money, he had to fill in the gaps.
…
Soon, Tang Ruyan arrived at the store. She saw that Su Ping was still in high spirits and Joanna was standing outside the pet store. Tang Ruyan pouted and snorted. "Why are you open so late? You used to cultivate at night. Why are you doing the opposite today?"
"Wouldn't I be in danger if you were able to figure out my training pattern? I'm just breaking the rules and confusing people," Su Ping said casually.
Pfft … Tang Ruyan curled her lips in disgust. She looked at the night sky outside and said, "Who would come here at this hour? How about I give you a commission? You can train some of my battle pets for me. I want to contribute to the strike that has affected the entire world."
Su Ping was about to turn her down when the system's warning popped up in his head. He had no choice but to say, "Get ready to pay, then."
Never turn down a customer. That was the system's principle, but not Su Ping's. It was a pity that … he had no principles when it came to the system.
"I never thought that I would be your customer one day. Come on, Su, give me a smile." Tang Ruyan was elated to hear Su Ping say yes. She knew how difficult it was to ask Su Ping to train her battle pets. Compared to the money she had to spend, the results of the training were priceless.
"Piss off." Su Ping rolled his eyes grumpily.
The system only said that he had to take customers, but it didn't say that he had to sell smiles.
Tang Ruyan grinned and stuck out her tongue. She didn't dare to say another word. She summoned her battle pets and chose professional training.
Four battle pets in total, all of them at the ninth rank. Professional training would cost one hundred million each!
Professional training would cost one hundred times more than regular training. Advanced battle pets would cost one million. Four battle pets would cost four hundred million!
Tang Ruyan didn't even blink when she heard the price. She swiped Su Ping's credit card and paid the bill. Soon, Su Ping heard a sweet sound, indicating that he had received the money.
"What? When did you become so rich? "
Su Ping raised his eyebrows since Tang Ruyan didn't seem to mind the money at all. Since when did she become rich?
You didn't see this coming, did you? I'm the family head now. That little bit of money is nothing. Tang Ruyan snorted. Then, she remembered the grudge between Su Ping and the Tang family. The smile disappeared from her face.
She whispered, "The strike of wild beasts has been sweeping across the world. The Tang family has a premonition that the world is going to change and the major forces are going to be reshuffled. They have invited me to be the family head many times. I turned them down several times but this time, the situation is too serious. Yes, the Tang family … But anyway, there are some elders who have taken care of me since I was a kid. I don't want anything to happen to them."
"So, you're the family head of the Tang family now?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows. This girl had become the family head of one of the four major families of the Subcontinent District.
"I'm just the temporary family head. I will step down when they or I find a suitable candidate," Tang Ruyan said, biting her lips.
Then, she darted a look at Su Ping. Compared to being the family head of the Tang family … she would rather be a temporary employee.
"It's not bad to be the family head of the Tang family. Look, you're getting fat. You can take care of my business in the future." Su Ping said casually. He didn't want to burden her. He no longer cared about the Tang family. He wouldn't have asked Tang Ruyan to go back and help the Tang family if he still cared about how they had caused trouble in the past.
"Fat is not the word to describe girls." Tang Ruyan stomped her foot and said angrily.
"Yes."
"Hmm. Good for you. In the future, I won't … What? What do you mean?"
Right then, some people were approaching. Su Ping looked at them and said to Tang Ruyan, "Be a good girl. Go and entertain the customers."
"I'm your customer too!" Tang Ruyan said angrily.
While telling Joanna to take her battle pets to the pet room, Su Ping said, "But you're also my employee. Well, temporary."
"You don't have to say 'temporary'!" Tang Ruyan gnashed her teeth.
"Mr. Su, Miss Tang."
An old and gentle voice came from outside the door. Qin Duhuang landed outside the store. He looked at the purple mouse that was sleeping soundly under the dragon statue and then went inside.
Tang Ruyan darted a look at Qin Duhuang. She knew that he was already a legendary battle pet warrior. That being said, she was no longer in awe of legendary battle pet warriors after witnessing how a legendary battle pet warrior was killed right in front of her when she went back to help the Tang family.
She put away her anger toward Su Ping and asked, "Mr. Qin, it's so late. How did you know we were open for business?"
"Mr. Su told me." Qin Duhuang smiled and said enviously, "Miss Tang, you're so young and you're already the head of the Tang family. If it weren't for the fact that I became a legendary battle pet warrior thanks to Mr. Su, I would have to bow to you."
Tang Ruyan raised her eyebrows. "How did you know?"
"The Tang family sent so many titled battle pet warriors. How could I not know?" Qin Duhuang smiled.
Right then, two people arrived. It was Zhou Tianlin and Xie Jinshui.
"You're here too?" Xie Jinshui was surprised to see Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin. Su Ping had attracted both of them as soon as he opened for business.
Zhou Tianlin cursed to himself. He hurried over to greet Su Ping and then bowed to Qin Duhuang.
In the past, Zhou Tianlin could ignore Qin Duhuang since they were at the same rank. But at the moment, he had to be respectful.
"Mr. Su, what battle pet are you selling?" Qin Duhuang went straight to the point after the small talk.
Su Ping looked at them. "Have you got the money ready? I've put the battle pets in the sales room. You can choose them. You can only buy them for yourselves and you have to sign contracts on the spot."
With that said, Su Ping took them to another side hall in the store. It was brightly lit. On the wall, there were projections of many battle pets. In the middle of the room, there were also projections of some battle pets. Those were the battle pets that had been registered for sale. Through those projections, Su Ping could see the complete appearances of those battle pets.
Of course, the size of the battle pets was much smaller. After all, the original battle pets were hundreds of meters in size.
The battle pets on the wall and in the middle of the room kept moving. The people in the sales room stared with their eyes wide open.
Those projections were lifelike. Their eyes were ferocious and their bodies were strong. Even though the battle pets were over ten meters tall, some of them were seven or eight meters tall, they were wild and unrestrained. They were all beast kings!
Even Tang Ruyan, a temporary employee, could not help but gape in astonishment at the sight of so many beast king battle pets.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Right then, two people flew into the store.
"Mr. Su?"
A soft call was heard, followed by the sound of footsteps walking into the shop.
"Over here." Su Ping turned around. He recognized that it was Dao Zun and Wu Guansheng.
Soon, Dao Zun and Wu Guansheng arrived at the sales room. As soon as they walked in, they were stunned by the many battle pets on the wall.
"Those are the battle pets for sale. You can pick the ones you like. Most of them are at the Void State and you can sign contracts with them." As the owner, Su Ping gave them a brief introduction.
