"Are you buying pet food for your Frost Blood Star Dragon? You can't be careless when buying pet food. "
The man immediately said, "You don't know this, but some pet stores have the same pet food, but the quality can be vastly different. Some of them are either artificially bred or mixed with certain chemicals. They're not very effective, and they might even go bad! There are a lot of unscrupulous merchants nowadays. It's more reliable for us to go to a legitimate store. I know someone who can check for us. "
The girl was silent for a moment, as if she were hesitating, but she soon replied, "That won't be necessary. All the stores here have legitimate business licenses. I don't think there's such a problem."
Then, Su Ping saw a slender woman with long silver hair walk into the store.
The woman had a delicate face and bright silver eyes, as if she were an elf.
Following the woman was a young man in a black suit. He was wearing an emerald-like watch and a crimson brooch. He looked quite noble.
Su Ping was slightly stunned. He was both shocked by the appearance of the alien humans in the place of migration and confused because he couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.
He secretly cursed. The Federation covered too many planets, and every planet had its own local language. How could he understand such things?
Ding Dong!
"It has been detected that the host does not know the local language. To maintain the normal operation of the store, the host must purchase the mainstream lingua franca of the living world, as well as the local language of the economic zone."
"Universal lingua franca fee: fifty thousand energy points."
"Local language of the economic zone: ten thousand energy points."
"The balance has been detected to meet the payment requirements. Forcibly deducting …"
Very soon, Su Ping saw that sixty thousand energy points had been deducted from his account. At the same time, countless strange words popped up in his head.
Those words were from a different system of language, but Su Ping found them more and more familiar, as if he had learned them since he was a child.
Very soon, Su Ping came back to his senses.
Su Ping was at a loss for words after seeing that sixty thousand energy points had been deducted from his account. Sixty thousand energy points equaled six million astral coins. The price for those two languages was too high.
However, it was a good thing that he was able to solve his urgent problem.
"Strange. When did this pet store open? I've never seen it before. But the decorations are okay …" The young man who had followed Su Ping into the store looked around and said in surprise.
He looked around the store. When he saw Tang Ruyan, he was surprised. He didn't expect to see such an outstanding girl in a random pet store.
As for Zhong Lingtong, she had a round face. Although she was pretty, she was more adorable.
Smelling the faint fragrance beside him, the young man quickly withdrew his gaze, and his expression returned to normal.
"Who's the boss?"
Beside him, the silver-haired woman was looking around the store, looking at the shelves behind the counter.
Su Ping came back to his senses. Just as he was about to instruct Tang Bingyao to entertain the customers, he suddenly remembered that she didn't have a system, and she had just arrived. She probably hadn't recovered from the sudden change of the store from Blue Star to this unfamiliar area.
"Welcome, I'm the owner of this shop. What can I do for you?"
He spoke in the Common Tongue of the Federation as soon as he opened his mouth, because the two people in front of him were also speaking the Common Tongue.
Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong were pulled back from their reverie by Su Ping's words. They widened their eyes in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
Were their eyes deceiving them?
They were still on Blue Star a second ago, and now they were in another place?
They had thought that Su Ping would take them to a spaceship or some other way to leave the Blue Star. They didn't know that they would be staying in the store and moving with the store!
What kind of magical power was that?
They didn't even feel the slightest movement!
The street outside the store was completely different from before. Tang Ruyan was shocked and excited when she saw the two aliens who had just entered the store. She couldn't help but rush to the entrance of the store.
When she looked around, her mouth opened in an "O" shape. The streets nearby had completely changed!
The buildings in the distance and the sky were also different. In the sky, they could see a planet that was dozens of times larger than the moon. The planet did not have craters caused by the impact of space meteorites. Instead, it looked like a planet with green vegetation, blue oceans, and brown rocky mountains.
Tang Ruyan was stunned for a long time. She couldn't help but run back into the store and yell.
"Are — Are we leaving Blue Star already?"
"Just in an instant?"
"Oh my god. What kind of power is that?"
Tang Ruyan yelled and waved her hands in shock. It was too hard to believe.
The young man was stunned by Tang Ruyan's unladylike behavior. He didn't expect that such a beautiful woman would be an idiot!
She was speaking in a language that he couldn't understand. She was too silly!
Su Ping was speechless after seeing Tang Ruyan yelling. He knew that it was hard to believe, but could she please restrain herself?
You're my employee anyway. You're embarrassing yourself like this.
After coughing, Su Ping said to the two people in front of him, "Well, let's continue. What do you need?"
"Wow, what language are you speaking? I've never heard of it before. Is it an alien language?" Tang Ruyan's attention was attracted by Su Ping's words.
Su Ping squinted at her. Can't you see that I'm doing business?
Why are you interrupting me when you're not helping me? What kind of employee are you?
Tang Ruyan was too familiar with Su Ping. She immediately understood what he meant and stuck out her tongue.
Mia looked at Tang Ruyan in surprise. Tang Ruyan was as pretty as she was, but … why was she so crazy?
She withdrew her gaze after hearing Su Ping's words. She regained her calmness and said, "I need a fresh Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit. The older, the better."
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the counter and soon confirmed it. He shook his head and said, "We don't have that in this shop. What kind of pet are you feeding it to? Maybe I have something else that can replace it."
Mia was stunned. She didn't expect that Su Ping wouldn't have such a popular pet food.
The young man heard Su Ping's words and sneered. He shook his head and said to Mia, "Let's go, Mia. This shop doesn't even know what kind of pet the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit is for. Let's go to a more reliable shop."
Mia was also disappointed. She was about to turn around and leave.
Su Ping slightly raised his eyebrows. Right then, the system's voice popped up in his head.
"Ding dong!"
"It has been detected that the shop's reputation has been damaged and customers have been lost. Temporary quest triggered!"
"Temporary quest name: Don't Miss Customers!"
"Quest requirement: Don't miss any customer who meets the shop's needs. Please keep the customer in front of you and make them spend ten million energy points in the shop!"
"Quest reward: A middle-rank Guide to Enlightening."
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes glittered with excitement.
It wasn't easy!
He hadn't triggered a temporary quest for a long time!
He could trigger one when he first opened the shop. Every time the shop's reputation was damaged or questioned, the system would be infuriated and give him a temporary quest.
However, as his shop became more and more famous, fewer and fewer people questioned him, which made him lose the chance to reap benefits from the temporary quests.
He didn't expect that he would get a temporary quest right after he moved to another place!
Awesome!!
Su Ping was so excited that he couldn't help but put on a smile. Seeing that the two of them were about to leave the shop, he quickly dashed forward and blocked their way.
"Please wait a moment."
"Huh?"
Seeing that Su Ping had suddenly stopped them, Mia and the young man next to her were both stunned. They then frowned slightly. The young man snorted. "What? Are you trying to force a deal?"
Su Ping stopped smiling, but he still looked happy. He shook his head and said, "No, no. I just wanted to ask what kind of pet you want to buy the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit for. Maybe the shop does have a substitute. If you're not satisfied, can you take a rest in the shop? I'll find the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit you mentioned right away."
"…"
Both of them looked at Su Ping, lost for words.
Not only did they refuse Su Ping, but Su Ping also looked relaxed and happy, which made them feel weird.
Su Ping's words … sounded like an unscrupulous merchant.
If you really have the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit, why don't you know what it's for?
Find it right away … Where are you going to find it?
Are you going to find something else to fool them?
"If you really have the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit, why don't you know what it's for?" Layne stared at Su Ping coldly, but he was secretly delighted. Su Ping kept pestering him, which gave him a chance to show off. His suggestion had been rejected by Mia earlier, but it turned out that he was right.
He shouldn't have entered such a dishonest shop!
Later, if he made another suggestion, it would be difficult for the young man to refuse. He would simply follow him to the shop he recommended, and he would pick out the pet food for the young man. That would be a favor.
With such a favor, their relationship would certainly be better in the future.
Thinking of all that, Layne suddenly found Su Ping more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, Su Ping had no idea what was going on in the young man's mind. He only felt that the young man's eyes had suddenly become kind. Was the handsomeness that he was able to exude after reaching the legendary rank? Su Ping wondered.
Sorry, sorry … Su Ping decisively ignored the young man and rolled his eyes. Su Ping wouldn't be nice to people who were easily turned gay.
Besides, the target of this quest was the lady next to him. It had nothing to do with him.
"I hope you can give me a chance. I'll certainly satisfy you! If the pet food I give you has no effect on your pet, I won't charge you and I'll compensate you ten times the price! "said Su Ping.
Naturally, he didn't have the right to not charge customers on behalf of the system.
However, he could take the young man's money and pay for it with his own money.
After all, his astral coins couldn't be converted into energy, but they were still astral coins in other people's eyes. There was no difference.
"Ten times the price?"
Mia was slightly stunned by Su Ping's resolute confidence. Su Ping did strike her as an unscrupulous businessman, but she was rather confused by his confidence at this moment.
Layne sneered after hearing Su Ping's determination. "Ten times the price? You'll definitely come up with all kinds of excuses if you eat the food. Miss Mia's pet isn't your test subject. Can you bear the responsibility if it's damaged? Do you know who we are?"
"I don't." Su Ping gave an honest reply. "However, in this shop, everyone is a customer. I won't disappoint you as long as I can satisfy your needs. Is this Miss Mia? Please give me a chance. You won't regret it!"
As he spoke, Su Ping looked at Mia solemnly. He was no longer in the mood for jokes. The quest would fail if they really left.
The reward was a mid-level Guide to Enlightening!
He had only grasped the rudimentary version before.
The Guide to Enlightening could only be grasped by Holy Spirit Trainers; the mid-level ones were obviously stronger!
Mia remained calm as she looked at Su Ping's resolute and serious eyes, but she was quite surprised. She felt that Su Ping's eyes were clear and sincere. She didn't know where Su Ping's confidence came from.
Layne said coldly, "Humph. Kid, do you know what you're talking about? I'm warning you, it's not too late for you to apologize, and I'll pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I'll shut down your shop on this street, or even the entire planet. Do you believe me?"
Su Ping turned around and looked at him. "No problem. I can close the shop if you're not satisfied!"
What a gamble!
Layne's face turned gloomy after hearing that.
Mia stared at Su Ping. She didn't expect that Su Ping, the owner of the shop, would be so adamant about such a simple business deal.
This stubbornness was simply too much!
Layne narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm not capable of that? Do you know that my surname is Layne? "
Su Ping had never heard of that surname, but judging from the guy's tone, it was obvious that the surname was very influential. He nodded and said, "As I said, I'll close the shop myself if you're not satisfied!"
Layne was infuriated to see that Su Ping remained calm after hearing his surname.
Su Ping's attitude made him feel that his family and surname had been insulted!
"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Mia spoke at that moment, interrupting the argument between Layne and Su Ping. She could even guess what Layne would say next. She would owe him a favor if he stood up for her like that. She knew that favors were the hardest to repay.
"Mia!"
Layne changed his expression after hearing her reply. He immediately tried to persuade her otherwise.
Mia shook her head and said, "I'd like to know why you're blocking my shop so easily."
The price of the materials she was going to buy was obviously disproportionate to Su Ping's gamble. Was it worth it to earn her money?
Or was he afraid that they would spread rumors about his shop after they left? However, even if two people gave him bad reviews, so what? Every businessman would be maliciously slandered. Did he have to work so hard?
All those thoughts, plus Su Ping's determination, piqued her curiosity.
"Okay!"
Su Ping was greatly relieved to see that the guy had finally relented. He believed that the materials he had brought back from the cultivation sites would definitely satisfy the guy.
"Do you want other materials, or …?" asked Su Ping.
Mia shook her head. "I only want the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit."
She was worried that something would happen if she used other materials. She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble when she was about to use her battle pet.
Su Ping also wanted to recommend a lot of pet food in his shop that had similar effects to the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit. If he knew what kind of pet she was feeding them to, he would be able to recommend it to her.
However, his credibility was being questioned at the moment. Su Ping held back his words. If she insisted on the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit, he would just give it to her.
When Su Ping stopped them, he had already asked the system in his mind. He even asked what kind of pet could eat the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit.
However, he didn't know the answer that the system gave him.
There were more than a hundred thousand pets that could eat the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit!
Among them, there were also four thousand that were most suitable for the pet food!
That number covered countless planes from ancient times to the present …
How could Su Ping name all of them?
As for which cultivation sites had the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit, the system had also recommended dozens of them, from the low-level to the top-level.
Su Ping finally filtered out seven cultivation sites for him to choose from based on the efficiency of his search.
Based on his intuition, he decided to look for the Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit in one of them.
According to the system, that place was rich in cold spiritual plants. The Heaven Frost Crystal Fruit was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. A lot of them were produced there.
After making the decision, Su Ping said to the silver-haired woman, "Okay, you can rest in my shop for a moment. I'll find it in about fifteen minutes, or even sooner."
He looked at his shop and thought for a moment before he said, "If you feel bored waiting, I can ask our employees to play with you in the virtual pet arena."
