The entire city gave Su Ping a futuristic feeling.
On the road, many people were accompanied by cute pets. They were all Astral Pets that were quite cute and smart.
Su Ping saw a few shops on the opposite side of the street. One of them was a plain-looking noodle restaurant that was written in the language of the Federation. The other shops had interesting names. One of them was called Battle Pet Equipment Shop, and the other was called Battle Pet Evaluation Shop.
Su Ping was quite surprised; it was the first time he had seen such a shop.
Battle pets can have battle equipment too?
Su Ping wasn't in a hurry to train Mia's pets; there was plenty of time for her to pick them up the next day. He turned around and said to Tang Ruyan, "Five Eight, you two stay in the shop. I'll ask around where you can learn the language of the Federation."
"You're a five eight! You're a b * tch! "
Tang Ruyan was instantly infuriated, unwilling to accept such a humiliating title.
"You'll really be a b * tch if you don't work harder. Eight times in three minutes. Tsk …" Su Ping chuckled and walked to the battle pet equipment shop, leaving the angry Tang Ruyan behind.
There seems to be another pet shop on this street, but it's not as large as ours. It seems that the system has relocated me to a commercial street …
Su Ping looked around as he walked. He saw another pet shop on the street, but judging from the outline of the shop, it was only around five hundred square meters in size.
However, the shop had three floors, which was quite impressive in terms of overall size.
A dozen people were in the lobby of the battle pet equipment shop that Su Ping had just arrived at. The receptionist at the door was a fair, purple-haired woman with pointy ears. She was quite pretty; she wasn't as pretty as Tang Ruyan, but she was still a great beauty.
Su Ping had a basic understanding of Rhea based on the information he had obtained from the map scan, such as the population, the density of astral power, and the traditions of the natives.
The purple-haired receptionist was a native of Rhea; her hair color was natural.
Su Ping entered the store and saw that it was like a large gallery. On the walls were framed and sealed models. Each model was an exquisite and small ornament. Some were like weapons, and some were like small stones.
Su Ping was a little surprised and looked around inside.
Soon, someone noticed Su Ping. A woman approached him with a smile. "Excuse me, sir. What kind of pet outfit would you like? I can give you an introduction. "
Su Ping happened to see a small weapon embedded in a frame on the wall in front of him. It was a silver scale. He asked curiously, "Is that also a pet item?"
The woman was slightly taken aback. She smiled and said, "Yes."
"What kind of pet is this? How do I use it?" Su Ping was curious.
The woman was stunned once again. This question was too unprofessional.
Confusion flashed in her eyes. She sized Su Ping up and down, only to see that Su Ping's clothes were obviously different from the popular ones on Rhea. She realized that he must be a bumpkin from a certain barbarian planet.
She didn't show it on her face even though she thought so. She simply said with a casual smile, "This is a four-star Class A battle suit. It's a defensive suit that can resist Fate State attacks of the dark class and the fire class. If your opponent is of the fire class or the dark class, you'll probably be invincible with this suit."
Jenna sounded rather condescending; she felt that her words would be a great eye-opener for the barbarian.
Su Ping was quite surprised. It could resist Fate State attacks?
Even though it could only resist the dark class and the fire class, it was still quite impressive!
"You said that it's a four-star Class A battle suit. Does it mean that it's advanced? Can't there be more advanced suits that can resist Star State attacks?" asked Su Ping curiously.
Jenna smiled casually. "Of course, there are rarer suits that are suitable for Star Lord pets, but you can only buy them in the intergalactic stores in Silvy."
Su Ping was quite shocked. Star Lord suits could be bought? Didn't that mean that one would be invincible with money?
It was true that money was king. No wonder the system was so greedy!
"Speaking of which, can the suit be used by battle pet warriors?" asked Su Ping curiously again.
Another idiotic question … Jenna put on a helpless smile after hearing such a ridiculous question. She said, "This is a suit of battle pet equipment. It's different in structure from that of humans, and there are restrictions on the pets that can be equipped. For example, this suit is only suitable for the popular dragon pets, since it requires dragon aura and dragon blood to activate …
"Also, the structure of the armor is tailored to the energy circulation of pets of the dragon family. Some sub-Dragons with weak bloodlines might not be able to use it."
Jenna didn't go on; she didn't think it was necessary to explain it to the natives, since they wouldn't understand anyway.
She lost interest after thinking about that. After all, she would rather take a rest than waste her time.
"So, that's why …"
Su Ping basically understood. It seemed that the suit was different from the treasures in the relics. Some of the treasures could be used not only by humans, but also by pets. After all, Astral Pets were wild beasts and cultivators in the ancient times. In particular, humans weren't the absolute masters of the primordial world; all the other species were on par with them.
"Can I try to use it?" Su Ping asked the woman again.
Jenna frowned. Seeing Su Ping's curious expression, she said with a cold smile, "The Silver Dragon King Armor is sold for 3.2 billion. You'll have to pay a deposit of three hundred million if you want to try it out."
"3.2 billion?" Su Ping was stunned. Not even the ultimate Fate State battle pet in his shop could be sold for such a high price!
That was daylight robbery!
Su Ping thought of his personal account. He was now bound to Blue Star as its lord; part of the Blue Star's tax revenue would be remitted to his personal account according to the federal law.
Su Ping instantly took out the green Lord Badge and snuck his consciousness into it. Soon, he found his personal account under the guidance of the artificial intelligence inside.
The Lord Badge was like a fully-functional portable super communicator; it was very practical.
Su Ping found that his personal account was opened in the Universe Bank of the Federation, which was a national bank that had branches all over the universe. It was very convenient for him to transfer money. Also, his account was opened with the Lord Badge, which automatically registered his identity. His bank account was a five-star lord, which gave him more privileges than regular account holders.
Tsk, tsk. I don't have to worry about the bank going bankrupt when I withdraw my money.
Su Ping remarked to himself.
He immediately checked how much money he had in his account.
Su Ping saw a string of zeros as soon as he checked. He quickly counted them, only to find that they were 128.9 billion!
Su Ping was quite surprised; it was the first time he had seen such a huge amount of money. However, he remembered that he could share half of the Blue Star's tax revenue, which was the wealth of an entire planet. How could he only get a hundred billion?
Su Ping immediately asked for the reason.
He soon learned where the money came from; it was the tax revenue from the Blue Star's transactions. The Blue Star had just suffered a great catastrophe; the remaining members of the Subcontinent District had been busy with reconstruction. The economy was in decline; the hundred billion was only earned because of the frequent transactions of various materials.
Nearby — Jenna was stunned for a moment when she saw the green Lord Badge in Su Ping's hand. Then, she widened her eyes and sized Su Ping up again with fear in her eyes.
The young man in front of him was actually a lord?!
Even though he was a five-star lord, he was still a lord, the lord of a planet!
The minimum requirement to become a lord was the Star State!
That was unless there were special circumstances, but even then, one had to be at least in the Fate State to become a lord, which would only be temporary!
"A deposit of three hundred million, right?" Su Ping had already withdrawn from the Lord Badge at that moment and was about to pay the deposit to the salesperson nearby. He wanted to see what the armor looked like.
Jenna came back to her senses. She was a little frightened, and there was some fear in her eyes. She did not expect that she would offend a lord. Her face was slightly pale as she said, "Well, I didn't know you were the lord of a planet. With your identity, you don't need to pay a deposit …"
As a matter of fact, he didn't need to pay a deposit even if he wasn't a lord. She had deliberately set the threshold because she thought that Su Ping wouldn't be able to afford it. She didn't want him to bother her.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was going on. He didn't blame her and said, "Then let's try it."
Jenna was a bit uneasy after seeing that Su Ping wasn't infuriated. She immediately said respectfully, "This way, please. I'll ask someone to fetch the item. We have a professional fitting room."
As she spoke, she bent down to lead the way.
After Su Ping caught up with her, she waved her hand and asked someone to fetch the Silver Dragon King Armor.
The fitting room was a spacious hall behind the shop; it was open-air and looked like a small stadium. However, Su Ping sensed that it was blocked by a powerful barrier; even a Star State warrior might not be able to break through it!
Two other people were trying out the armor and summoning their pets in the fitting room.
One of them was an Ocean State Bat Dragon. It was a subspecies of dragons; it was only seven meters long, but its wingspan was more than ten meters. It was wearing a brown armor that was a perfect fit, protecting its vital parts such as its heart and organs. The armor didn't affect its movement at all.
It was also wearing a silver helmet with sharp horns that covered its head.
Su Ping found it an eye-opener. He didn't know that pets could be like that.
Wouldn't his Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound's combat abilities be significantly improved if they were paired with some decent battle pet equipment?
"Greetings, my lord. This is the Silver Dragon King Armor that you've chosen."
At this moment, Jenna took the silver scale from her colleague. The scale wasn't sealed at the moment, and its aura was exposed, transmitting faint energy waves. There was a faint silver halo attached to the surface of the scale, which was the overflow of the energy contained inside.
"My surname is Su. You can call me Mr. Su," said Su Ping. He didn't want to expose his identity as a lord, in case he attracted unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, Mr. Su." Jenna nodded respectfully; her attitude had completely changed. Even a five-star lord was much wealthier than a worker like her could imagine.
"How do I use it?"
Su Ping asked after he took the silver scale and played with it.
There was no contempt in Jenna's eyes. At this moment, she fully displayed the professionalism of her training. She smiled and said gently, "Mr. Su, this armor is currently in an activated state. You only need to summon your dragon pet and let it release its dragon aura to activate the armor."
Su Ping instantly summoned the Inferno Dragon as he was told.
In an instant, a domineering and ferocious dragon aura spread out, making Jenna and the other staff members turn pale.
The Bat Dragon that was trying on the armor in the distance almost fell from the sky; it looked at the Inferno Dragon in fear.
Su Ping didn't expect it to be so serious; he quickly asked the Inferno Dragon to conceal its aura.
The Bat Dragon's owner also looked at them from afar, but he didn't dare to say anything when he saw the Inferno Dragon next to Su Ping.
"Sir, Sir Overlord, just stick this Silver Radiance Dragon King Armor on your pet and let it activate its Dragon Qi." Jenna's face was slightly pale. She was so intimidated by the Inferno Dragon's ferocious aura that she couldn't even speak. She had seen a lot of powerful battle pets in the store, but she had never seen one as ferocious.
After hearing that, Su Ping threw the silver scale to the Inferno Dragon's abdomen with astral power and then gave an order.
The Inferno Dragon immediately unleashed a wisp of dragon aura. The next second, the silver scales on the side of the Inferno Dragon's abdomen seemed to have come back to life, emitting a dazzling silver glow. Amid the glow, the scales softened as if they were liquid and quickly transformed, covering the Inferno Dragon.
After the light was gone, a silver armor appeared on the Inferno Dragon's body. It was more like a layer of silver scales than a suit of armor!
The silver scales covered the Inferno Dragon's own dark red, murky, and golden scales. They extended to below its neck and covered its entire body, except for its wings and limbs.
Su Ping was quite surprised; the battle pet suit was almost like a second skin!
Together with the armor and the defense of the Inferno Dragon's own scales, the Inferno Dragon should be able to resist a Fate State beast.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Su Ping immediately asked the Inferno Dragon.
The Inferno Dragon said in a muffled voice, "Su … I'm convinced …"
Su Ping immediately understood what it meant and smiled. It seemed that the suit didn't hurt him at all.
…
Su Ping didn't linger in the store after learning what the battle pet suit was all about. He asked the salesperson to take off the suit and summoned the Inferno Dragon back.
As for buying it …
Su Ping had such an idea, but he didn't intend to buy the Silver Dragon King Armor.
After all, that store was just a random one he had visited; it wasn't one of the top stores on Rhea. He would try to buy the best battle equipment he could. It would be great if he could get his hands on a Star State suit.
However, Su Ping didn't think that such a suit would be put on sale easily. He would probably only see it in famous auctions or in more advanced economic zones.
Su Ping was quite excited when he thought about that. He used to think that the unconvertible astral coins were useless to him, because he couldn't buy anything good on the Blue Star even if he had the money. Legendary State items weren't for sale; they were only circulated among the legendary warriors, and it was hard for regular organizations to get their hands on them.
Even if they did, they would only offer them to the legendary warriors to get closer to them.
In the Federation … one could become stronger with money!
Su Ping suddenly felt that it was a good thing that he had become the lord of the Blue Star. It would be too tiring for him to make money on his own.
I wonder how the Blue Star is doing right now. I'll ask around when I'm free, Su Ping thought.
He then went to the pet assessment store nearby.
There were a few customers in the lobby. Su Ping went inside and asked the staff to find out more about the pet assessment store. It turned out that the pet assessment store would conduct a comprehensive test for pets and calculate their overall combat strength through the comprehensive test.
The comprehensive combat ability could often be used to determine the strength of a battle pet. It wasn't absolute, but it was an important reference.
Su Ping was quite curious. He tested it with the Dark Dragon Hound, only to find that the comprehensive combat ability was quite similar to the information he had obtained with the system's identification skill. The error was only 1.8!
It's used to measure combat ability … Su Ping was surprised. He didn't know that the Federation was so developed. No wonder it could explore the universe and colonize all the star zones.
Mia's device didn't seem to be able to detect combat strength; it could only detect some other data. It's a bit too big; the system's identification skill is much more convenient … Su Ping thought to himself. He had a new understanding of the system's power, and he was quite amazed.
"Humph!" The system snorted in Su Ping's head.
"…"
Ignoring the peeping Tom, Su Ping wandered around the street and went to the pet store on the street. After all, it was a pet store in the Federation; it was worth considering if it was different from his store.
That pet store was doing quite well. Su Ping walked around and found that the service was similar to his store, but the facilities in that store were obviously not as good as his pet store.
First of all, there weren't many existing battle pets in the store. Anyone who wanted to buy one would have to make an order, pay a deposit, and make an appointment; the store would have to ship the battle pets from their base.
As for the training, the trainers would store the battle pets in secret storage devices and transfer them to the training base. The customers would then be contacted to pick up the battle pets after the training was done.
There's quite a lot of pet food. It seems that they're the most popular pet food on this planet, or even in Silvy and the Federation. It's just that they're too young and not of high quality. I'll have to stock up on them in the future …
Su Ping looked at the dazzling pet food in the store. He had read a lot of planes at the moment; he could easily tell that the pet food was mediocre and could only be used to satisfy the hunger of regular pets.
It would be difficult to increase the pet's combat ability with the pet food.
Su Ping left the store and returned to his own after his investigation.
After walking around, he had gathered a lot of information. Not only did he learn about the shops, but he also learned that he had moved to this place.
Those stores all had the same idea about his store, which was that it had been there for years, but it wasn't doing well, so they didn't have much of an impression of it.
It was obvious that the magnificent power of the system was responsible for that.
Jumping from the Blue Planet to a commercial street on Rhea in the blink of an eye, without anyone noticing, and allowing the people around to adapt … Su Ping was terrified of such a horrifying ability. If the system wanted to kill someone, it could probably do so quietly and erase the memories of all the people who knew them, or even change them!
That power was beyond Su Ping's understanding!
"It's good that you're scared now." The system chuckled and sounded rather smug.
Su Ping: "…"
After returning to the store, Su Ping told Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong about the Common Tongue that he had heard about. There was a class in the Common Tongue of the Federation nearby; it could be learned quickly, but the tuition was quite high.
Su Ping immediately took them out. He went to a nearby branch of the Universe Bank and registered a bank account for them.
Speaking of the cards, Su Ping found another function of the Lord Badge. It could register the two of them on the Blue Star's household register and scan their identities with the Lord Badge. The bank didn't have to go through the cumbersome procedures of showing their identities; they could simply register the two of them.
They were natives of the Blue Star in the first place, but since the Blue Star was underdeveloped, they weren't registered in the Federation's database.
Su Ping transferred five hundred million yuan to each of their accounts as pocket money after the two of them were set up with their bank accounts.
After transferring the money, Su Ping took them to a class in the Common Tongue of the Federation and paid their tuition. While the tuition was expensive, it was only a hundred thousand astral coins. It would take a year's salary for ordinary people, but it was no different from free for Su Ping.
After paying the tuition, Su Ping asked them to stay here; they could return to the store to help when they mastered the language.
After taking care of their business, Su Ping returned to the store and prepared to train Mia's pets.
…
On the other side —
In a towering spiral building, the building was like a glass with spiral patterns. It was thousands of meters tall, and the scenery at the top could overlook more than half of the nearby city.
It was also the symbol of Woffett City, one of the seven most prosperous cities on the Kamp Continent on Rhea.
Below the building was a luxurious mall, and on the top floor was a famous hotel. Those who wanted to live there had to be both rich and influential to make an appointment.
At this moment, in one of the luxurious suites, the slender Miya, who had changed into a casual outfit, threw herself onto the soft velvet sofa cushion. Her delicate figure almost sank into the sofa, as though she was lying in the clouds.
She was holding a communicator and talking to the person on the other side while absorbing the fruit salad on the coffee table with astral power.
She was smiling coquettishly at the moment; she wasn't as cold as she was in front of Layne at all.
"How was it? Did everything go well on Rhea? Did you get the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon you wanted to buy?" asked a lazy and casual female voice on the other side of the communicator. She sounded quite young.
Mia said with a smile, "Sister, I just got here. I haven't had a chance to look for it yet."
"You'd better hurry up. The monthly exam for the second year is in half a month. Many people in the family will be watching the exam. You must work hard," said the lazy voice with a chuckle. Then, she thought of something and said, "You went to Rhea on Rhea.
"Did the Ryan family entertain you when you went to Rhea? If you can't find one on your own, talk to the master of the Ryan family in my name and ask him to arrange one for you. "
Mia stuck out her tongue and said, "I came here in secret; I didn't tell the Ryan family. I didn't even bring the guards my mother arranged for me. I'd rather rely on myself if I could. You know that I shouldn't get too involved with other families. Otherwise, when it comes to my marriage …"
As she spoke, her eyes dimmed, but she soon smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, I went out to buy pet food today and ran into a very amazing pet store. Let me tell you, the store looked ordinary. It was decorated in a special way, but it was just so-so. I didn't expect that the owner of the store would give me two seven-thousand-year-old Heaven Frost Crystal Fruits. They're seven-thousand-year-old …"
She seemed quite excited when she talked about Su Ping's shop.
The lazy voice on the other side of the communicator was silent for a moment. She waited for her to finish before she said, "Don't think too much about the future. You have a chance to change your fate now that you've entered the Amir Royal Academy. I'll recommend you to the Disciplinary Committee when you're in your third year. You'll have the right to make choices with your connections!"
Mia was stunned for a moment. She became more serious and said with glittering eyes, "I'll try my best. I'll graduate no matter what!"
She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She pouted and heaved a sigh. "As for the Disciplinary Committee, it might be difficult for me. They're full of monsters just like you, sister …"
"It's alright. I'll recommend and help you. Don't underestimate yourself," said the lazy voice calmly.
Then, she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about that. Did you say that the pet shop sells seven-thousand-year-old Heaven Frost Crystal Fruits?"
