Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 104 Phantom Beast

"Blood Soul Orb and Demonic Corpse?"

The young man was taken aback.

These two items are of a higher grade than the Resentment Bead and the Spirit Remains, and are extremely rare. They are hard to find even in well-known stores in the Upper City. How could this small shop have them?

"Really?" He looked at Su Ping suspiciously, his gaze sweeping over the shelf behind Su Ping. His expression changed immediately, and he was somewhat taken aback.

"certainly."

Su Ping turned around and rummaged through the corner of the counter to find the two items.

Upon seeing the two bottles that Su Ping had found, the young man was slightly stunned. One bottle contained a blood-red bead, resembling an eyeball, while the other contained several broken white bones, with wisps of black hair-like things wrapped around the edges of the bones.

These are the Blood Soul Pearl and the Demonic Corpse.

"This..." The young man was a little stunned, not expecting that this inconspicuous little shop would actually have it.

It should be noted that the Blood Soul Pearl and the Demonic Corpse are things that can only be conceived within the bodies of high-level undead creatures, and are extremely precious. To obtain these two items means that you must kill at least two high-level undead pets.

"Do you want to buy it?" Su Ping asked when he saw him in a daze.

The young man snapped out of his daze, remembering the prices of the other items behind Su Ping's counter, and asked, "How much is this?"

"The Blood Soul Beads cost 160,000, and the Demonic Yin Corpse costs 180,000," Su Ping said.

The young man was taken aback, not because he thought it was expensive, but because he hadn't expected it to be cheaper than the market price.

He raises undead pets and is very familiar with these pet foods. Blood Soul Beads on the market usually start at least at 200,000, but the price here is more than 40,000 cheaper.

Could it be a low-quality product of very poor quality?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Could you open the bottle and let me see?"

Su Ping frowned. This bottle was specially made by the system to seal the energy and make it easy to preserve for a long time. Opening it would cause a leak, resulting in some loss.

However, he could tell that the other party was someone who was not short of money and was sincere in wanting to buy it. After thinking for a moment, he agreed, "Okay, but you have to be quick." After saying that, he opened the lid as soon as he was ready.

As soon as the bottle cap was opened, a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted out. At the same time, the temperature inside the store plummeted, and it seemed as if a mysterious entity was whispering in one's ear.

Su Ping quickly covered it up.

The young man was stunned. Although it was only for a very short time, he could tell at a glance that the Blood Soul Pearl was not only of good quality, but also of the highest grade!

This is definitely not something a seventh-tier undead could produce; it could be a ninth-tier undead creature!

Such a top-quality item could potentially sell for three or four hundred thousand.

"Boss, is this... really only 160,000?" the young man couldn't help but ask.

Su Ping could tell from the other person's expression that this was someone who knew his stuff, but he couldn't change the price. Fortunately, this item was very easy to obtain; in the Chaotic Netherworld, it was like trash that could be thrown on the ground and picked up anywhere.

If he hadn't run out of storage space, he could have picked up a few more. But he never expected that something so common would be so expensive.

"If you think it's too little, you can give me more," Su Ping said.

The young man chuckled. Judging from Su Ping's appearance, he was obviously selling at a low price on purpose. He had gotten a bargain. He hadn't expected that the things sold in this remote part of the lower city were not only better than those in the upper city, but also cheaper. Could this be the simplicity of country folk?

Although the base city is surrounded by high walls and there is no distinction between villages and towns, people inside the walls still have a sense of hierarchy.

The Upper District, located in the central part of the city, was mostly inhabited by the wealthy and powerful. Over time, the Lower District on the outskirts became a rural area where the poor gathered, and it became synonymous with poverty.

This situation applies to any base city.

"I'll take them both, thank you."

The young man was very polite to the simple and honest boy. Although he could afford it even if the price was several times higher, his money didn't come easily. It was earned through hard work and risking his life during the pioneering days, so he wanted to save as much as possible.

"Um."

Su Ping nodded, accepting the thanks.

The two items brought in a total of 340,000 in revenue, which is equivalent to 3,400 energy. Adding this to his previous 7,500, he now has over 10,000, enough to upgrade to a level two shop.

I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow to earn it, but I got it done today.

"Are you the owner or a salesperson here?" the young man asked Su Ping, worried that he might make a mistake and be punished.

"Boss."

"Oh..." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, but was somewhat surprised. Opening a shop at such a young age, doesn't he go to school?

Suddenly, he realized that these two items were hard to come by. How did Su Ping, at such a young age, manage to get them?

Seeing the other person's constantly shifting, thoughtful eyes, Su Ping roughly guessed what he was thinking, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it and asked, "Is there anything else you need, like breeding or fostering? You know our services are very cost-effective."

The young man snapped out of his daze and agreed with Su Ping's later words, asking curiously, "You offer a nurturing service here? Who nurtures them, you or someone else?"

"Mm." Su Ping nodded.

The young man hadn't expected Su Ping to be a breeder, and his casual attitude immediately softened considerably as he asked, "What level of breeder are you? Can you breed high-level pets?"

"A high-class pet?" Upon hearing this, Su Ping shook his head and said, "No way."

Although he felt he could breed high-level pets, he had not yet bred any medium-level pets with above-average aptitude, and the system had not yet unlocked the breeding service for high-level pets.

In the system's eyes, raising a pet with above-average aptitude is probably the bare minimum requirement...

However, this above-average aptitude is extremely difficult to achieve compared to countless others of the same race throughout history.

The young man revealed a knowing look. Su Ping was still so young; it would be strange if he could cultivate a high-level pet.

"What about medium-level pets?" the young man asked.

"Okay." Su Ping nodded.

"Oh?" The young man asked in surprise. "You can raise a mid-level pet?"

Doesn't this mean that Su Ping is at least a Level 4 Instructor?

It's important to know that breeders are generally one or two levels higher than pet trainers. A level four breeder can be comparable to a level six pet trainer.

In other words, this young boy in front of him is not much less capable than him.

"Do you want to cultivate it?" Su Ping asked.

The young man looked him over carefully. Considering that Su Ping had sold him the Blood Soul Pearl and Demonic Corpse at a low price, and given Su Ping's honest and simple nature, he figured Su Ping wouldn't deceive him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sure, I happen to have a newly matured Phantom Beast, a demonic type. Can you raise it?"

Su Ping nodded.

The Illusionary Beast is a sixth-tier bloodline pet. When it first comes of age, it is only at the fourth tier in strength. It is a pure support-type demon pet with extremely weak combat ability, but it is proficient in illusion magic. It is extremely troublesome for some pets with poor mental resistance. Even high-level pets can fall into its trap if they are not careful.

"Alright." The young man summoned his magical beast.

Next, he needs to adjust his condition and prepare for the Elite League. This Phantom Beast won't be of much help to him. In the Elite League, it's unlikely that there will be any pets with obvious weaknesses. Most of the pets that go into battle are well-rounded. Unless his Phantom Beast evolves into a high-level Nightmare Beast, it won't be possible for him to show his skills in the league.

The Phantom Beast is extremely small, its body floating in mid-air like a soft, light purple-red cloud. It has only two large, swirling eyes, making it look both cute and dizzying.

Seeing its surroundings, the Phantom Beast looked around curiously.

"When will you finish training him?" the young man asked. He wanted to collect the fruits of his labor after the league ended and asked Su Ping to take care of them.

"Tomorrow," Su Ping replied.

"Tomorrow?" The young man was taken aback. How could a pet be bred in just one day?

Is cultivating something for just one day considered cultivation?

Su Ping glanced at the adorable phantom beast, feeling it would be quite soft to knead. He said to the young man, "This is a mid-level pet beast. The training fee is 100,000 per session. Pay up."

"...?" The young man was stunned again.

One hundred thousand at a time?

Even a senior trainer's fee isn't this much, is it?

Moreover, even if it's 100,000, it's only for one day of cultivation. Doesn't that mean you can earn 100,000 in just one day?

The young man, who had previously thought Su Ping was honest and simple, suddenly realized he had misunderstood him. Or perhaps, was Su Ping deliberately trying to trick him into buying pet food at a low price? He had heard that the poorer a person is, the more cunning they are.

He fell into thought.

After weighing the options, considering that the pet food was indeed cheap, he decided against it.

Consider the 100,000 yuan as a gift to Su Ping. He won't lose anything, since he's already made a huge profit from that pet food.

"Alright, I'll come to pick it up tomorrow if I have time. If I don't come, you can take care of it for me for a few days, and I'll pay for its care," the young man said.

Su Ping nodded slightly and reminded, "It's best to pick it up as soon as possible. The boarding fee at our shop is 2,400 yuan per day and 100 yuan per hour."

The young man stared wide-eyed.

Two thousand four hundred a day?

Two thousand four hundred for just one day of care?!

Even though he earns millions every time he reclaims land, he still feels that it's a bit too expensive!

This boarding price is already comparable to the prices of some of the top boarding facilities in the city.

But it's a prime location, and the rent for a doghouse there is almost that price. Plus, there's a dedicated person who stays with him and takes care of him all the time, never leaving his side. So he can accept it.

But here... what kind of property value can be found in this run-down place? It's just Su Ping alone. Even if he were to accompany and take care of her, this run-down shop has no equipment at all. How could he possibly take care of her?

Suppressing the urge to turn and leave, the young man took a deep breath and said, "I will come to collect it as soon as possible."

Two thousand four hundred it is, he'll consider it a small compensation for Su Ping.

"Okay." Seeing that the matter was settled, Su Ping asked him to leave his contact information.

The young man hesitated for a moment, but still wrote down his contact information. Given his status, he wouldn't easily reveal his contact information to outsiders, especially since small shops like this generally don't have much credibility.

"Gu Beichen?" Su Ping glanced at his name, nodded, and said, "Remember to come pick it up tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Gu Beichen didn't say much, and turned to leave with the Blood Soul Pearl and the Demon Yin Corpse. These two items were enough for his pet to eat for a month. After absorbing them, the pet's level might even increase a little, which could be considered a major gain this time.
