"Beast kings?"
Tang Ruyan's teasing worked. The others were startled by her words. They were surprised to see Tang Ruyan's serious smile.
Is that … true?
"Beast kings? You must be kidding … "
"Really?"
They would have pulled a long face if it were any other receptionist. How dare she joke with them like that?
But this girl who seemed to be a titled battle pet warrior … They didn't know much about her and didn't want to offend her. After all, they had just moved to the Longjiang Base City and were unfamiliar with the place. They didn't know what was going on yet.
"Of course. Our service is never fake." Tang Ruyan put on a proud smile. "Of course, whether or not you can buy it will depend on your abilities."
"Abilities?"
The four looked at each other in bewilderment.
Tang Ruyan didn't say anything else. She showed them to the sales room and said, "You can choose any beast kings you like."
The sales hall wasn't small; it was quite spacious inside. Light flowed everywhere, showing the feeling of futuristic technology. Projections of behemoths were around the hall, and in the middle of the hall, there were three-dimensional projections of battle pets.
"What …?"
They had never seen such a style of decoration before. Tang Ruyan taught them how to use astral powers to check the beast kings' projections.
Tang Ruyan guided them to a beast king in the middle of the room. She used astral powers to check the beast king.
Soon, the information that appeared in front of their eyes left the four of them dumbfounded.
Beast kings? Later stage of the Void State?!
Many legendary battle pet warriors had shown their strength after the disaster. Many titled battle pet warriors had learned about the ranks of the legendary battle pet warriors. That was why they were dumbfounded when they saw the information.
"Tang Ruyan, don't tease the customers."
Su Ping grumbled as he watched Tang Ruyan's behavior.
Tang Ruyan saw that Su Ping wasn't happy. She stuck out her tongue and said to the four, "We only have beast kings at the Void State left. You must be at the legendary rank if you want to buy them. If you want to train your battle pets, please come over here …"
They withdrew their astral powers and the information on their eyeballs faded away. They looked at each other and realized that the battle pet projections were all at the Void State. Even if they could buy them, they wouldn't be able to sign contracts with them. Was the girl … playing a prank on them?
At the thought of this, their expressions turned ugly and gloomy.
They didn't know much about the girl, but that didn't mean they could tolerate being tricked.
"I was wondering why there would be beast kings on sale. It turns out that they're just making projections. They're deliberately mystifying things!"
"I don't know where you got the high-tech equipment, but you think you can fool people with that? Is this the best pet store in the Longjiang Base City?"
"Hmm, we're here to buy pet food. I didn't know that this was your store. Do you think you can bully us just because we're not locals?"
"Let's go. I didn't know that the Longjiang Base City was like this. How disappointing!"
The four were angry. They didn't try to be polite anymore. They turned around and left, no longer in the mood to shop.
Tang Ruyan was surprised. She had only done it on the spur of the moment. After all, she had just seen so many Void State battle pets. She was so excited that she wanted to use Su Ping's name to show off. She didn't know that she would cause trouble. She looked at Su Ping, afraid that Su Ping would blame her.
But it was too late. Su Ping rolled his eyes. She knew right away that she had messed up that day!
"Well, guys … I didn't mean to offend you. I was just kidding. If you want to buy pet food, the pet food in our store is of good quality. I won't let you down." Tang Ruyan tried to persuade them to stay. For the first time, she had experienced the difficulties of being an employee.
In the past, other customers would go to Su Ping's store to get their pets trained, which had made her popular. But those in front of her were all at the titled rank and they had never visited the store before. They wouldn't lick her boots just because she was pretty.
"Hmm, is this your store's way of marketing?"
"You're letting a titled battle pet warrior guard the door. You're pretending to be knowledgeable and showing us those useless things. Hmm …"
Two titled battle pet warriors were full of disdain. They had seen through the store's marketing strategy.
Who didn't know how to show off when selling luxury goods?
They were all too familiar with this kind of trick. After all, they had run many of their family's businesses and were well-versed in it.
Tang Ruyan was both anxious and infuriated. She retorted, "Who says they're fake? The battle pets I showed you are real and they're for sale. It's just that you're too weak to sign contracts with them. Who says that the things in our store are fake?"
"Stop pretending. Hmm, those are just projections. Who doesn't know how to make them? Why don't you just write 'Fate State'?" A short, middle-aged man sneered. He didn't show any mercy to Tang Ruyan.
"Let's go. No need to say anything else." The middle-aged man in the lead was more composed. He didn't want to say anything else. Since the store could hire a titled battle pet warrior to guard the door and was known as the best pet store in the Longjiang Base City, there must be something special about the store. They didn't know who was behind the store but they were sure that it had something to do with the five major families.
They had just moved to the Longjiang Base City. It would be better for them to avoid conflicts with the five major families.
The other three saw the look on his face. They didn't say anything more to Tang Ruyan. There was nothing to argue about. They would just leave.
After all, the money was in their pockets. They couldn't just rob them.
"You …"
Tang Ruyan turned pale. She wanted to persuade them to stay but didn't know what to say. Should she beg them? She couldn't bring herself to do that. After all, she was a titled battle pet warrior herself and she was the head of the Tang family. It would be humiliating for her to bow down to those people.
"Please wait for a moment."
Right then, Su Ping came over.
He looked at Tang Ruyan who was still hesitating. He frowned but didn't say anything. He would deal with her later.
"I'm the owner of this store. My employee has offended you. I'd like to apologize on her behalf," Su Ping said sincerely as he stood in the way of the group.
After he finished speaking, he bent over slightly and bowed.
Tang Ruyan was stunned by Su Ping's reaction. She found it hard to believe.
As far as she could tell, Su Ping had always been an arrogant person. He would never show any respect to his regulars. Why would he apologize to some titled battle pet warriors?
It had to be noted that Su Ping had created two legendary battle pet warriors in person just two hours earlier!
"What?"
The middle-aged man frowned as he saw Su Ping standing in their way. His expression softened a bit after seeing Su Ping's sincere apology. "You don't have to apologize. We have other matters to attend to. Let's not waste any more time."
He didn't mention the fact that he had been teased. It was unnecessary. He couldn't afford to offend them. He would just stay away.
Su Ping shook his head. "My employee may have offended you, but she didn't mean any harm. Also, all the branded products in the store can be sold as long as you meet the requirements. Those battle pets over there can only be purchased by legendary battle pet warriors, but you can also enjoy the pet food and training services in the store."
Again? Is there no end to this?
The middle-aged man frowned. He was impatient but he managed to control his emotions. "I understand. But we're just looking around. We don't have anything we want to buy."
With that said, he darted a look at Su Ping, implying that Su Ping couldn't force them to buy.
Su Ping knew what they were thinking. He felt a headache coming on. "To express my apologies, you can all enjoy one free purchase in the store, but the purchase amount is limited to ten million."
Ten million?
They were surprised. The services in a pet store were nothing more than that. How much could it cost?
Ten million … Wouldn't that be like a super annual membership? They could enjoy all kinds of services in the store until they grew old?
Soon, the middle-aged man shook his head. "Sorry, we don't need anything."
He had made up his mind. He didn't want to have anything to do with this store.
How could free things be so easily obtained? The store owner could kill you in an instant!
Staying away from the store was the safest option. As long as the store owner didn't lose his mind, he wouldn't pester them like a mad dog. That was what the middle-aged man was thinking.
Seeing that the middle-aged man wasn't swayed, Su Ping knew what he was thinking. He heaved a sigh. "I see that you don't trust the store. Then, I will have to ask them to come out and meet our customers."
The middle-aged men were alarmed and angry.
Was he going to start a fight?
How could there be such a bold and unscrupulous store in broad daylight … Well, it was night time and the sun was still up … That wouldn't do either!
How dare he force people to buy and sell under the bright moon?!
The middle-aged men put up a defensive posture. They stared at the door that was not far away. As long as they could get out and make a scene, they wouldn't believe that the Longjiang Base City was lawless!
Especially at this critical time. How could there be a civil war?
However, the next second, the middle-aged men felt that their backs were frozen. They felt chills running down their spines.
All of a sudden, a gloomy, terrifying, and violent atmosphere filled the store. It was … right behind them.
The middle-aged men struggled to turn around. As soon as they did, their pupils contracted and their faces were filled with fear.
That was a ferocious beast that was over a dozen meters long. It was crawling on all fours. The ferocious head that was covered in spikes and black scales reached over. A foul smell was coming out from its slightly cracked mouth.
Horrifying!
The most horrifying thing was that this ferocious beast was the projection of the battle pet they had seen before!
But this time, it was the real deal!
"This is the miniature version of the battle pet. If you don't believe me, I can ask it to go outside the store and show you its real size." They heard Su Ping's voice. He heaved a sigh and continued, "Nothing sold in this store is fake. I sincerely hope that you can trust me."
Sincere … What the f * ck!
The middle-aged men almost wet their pants. Their legs were trembling.
How could the warm and stinky aura of this evil beast that was so close to him not be real?
What, what kind of store was this?!
"Let's go back," Su Ping said to the battle pet, seeing how pale the middle-aged men were.
In the next second, the battle pet turned into a ray of light in front of everyone's eyes and went into the projection. The horrifying aura that had overwhelmed the entire place was gone, leaving only a shadow that had been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts and could not be erased.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Su Ping heaved a sigh. He sounded sincere.
The four titled battle pet warriors finally came back to their senses. They turned around to look at Su Ping, only to find that their necks had become stiff. Only when they saw the sincere and harmless look on Su Ping's face did they feel some warmth. Their hearts started to beat again.
"What, what …"
"Is this real?"
The two titled battle pet warriors asked. One of them stuttered for a while but couldn't finish his sentence. The other one couldn't help but ask in awe and a bit of fear.
"It's real." Su Ping said patiently, "My employee's attitude was improper. She failed in her duty. But everything in this store is genuine. I can assure you of that."
The middle-aged men looked at each other. They had seen that ferocious beast with their own eyes. They had to believe it.
But … that ferocious beast was at the Void State. How could it be sold?
The middle-aged men no longer dared to question Su Ping's calm gaze. They were afraid that Su Ping would call out that ferocious beast again and tell them to "believe it."
"Well, we understand." The middle-aged man's face was pale. He had a strong mind, but he was at the titled rank after all. He was no match for a Void State beast king, not to mention that the ferocious beast he had just seen was a hundred times more intimidating than any other beast king they had ever seen.
"I heard that you're looking for pet food. I wonder what kind of pet food you're looking for. Maybe we have it," Su Ping said casually. But he was thinking about the notification in his head.
Save the store's reputation. Mission accomplished!
The reward was … a book on elementary rules of wind!
That was a handsome reward!
Just as those people were about to leave and question the store, the system seemed to have been wronged and gave him the mission. Of course, he gladly accepted it.
Ever since the store became famous, he hadn't received a random mission like that for a long time.
A long time ago, he had noticed that when people questioned the store's reputation or his training skills, the system would be infuriated and the system would issue some missions.
Unfortunately, the store had become so famous that those who came to the store were only old customers. The store couldn't even entertain the old customers. Of course, no one would question the store.
Of course, he couldn't go and provoke the system himself. After all, the system had been peeping at him for a long time. The people he found didn't count.
That being said, even without the system's mission, Su Ping didn't want those people to leave just like that. He cherished the reputation he had built.
At the end of the day, it seemed that he had to strengthen employee training.
Su Ping darted a look at Tang Ruyan. The naughty Tang was also sneaking glances at Su Ping. The moment Su Ping cast a glance at Tang Ruyan, Tang Ruyan turned away like a mouse that had seen a cat. He fidgeted with his hands nervously. Clearly, he was prepared to be scolded.
"Well …" The four titled battle pet warriors looked at each other after hearing Su Ping's words. They would have to think twice before saying no. After all, that ferocious beast had left quite an impression on them.
