Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1146 The Ancient Demon Shop (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Su Ping immediately tried to summon it, but he couldn't sense the summoning space, just as the system had said.

"snort!"

The system let out a cold snort, seemingly displeased with Su Ping's experiment.

Su Ping didn't explain. After thinking for a moment, he left the pet room. He saw Joanna and the old man with the magic scripture in the living room, but the old man with the magic scripture and the woman with the magic cauldron sat to one side instead of with Joanna and the others.

On the contrary, Hunyuan Jinlian sat with Bi Xianzi, and there were many other figures around them. Su Ping also saw the little fat boy who had led the way to him, Chongzao Dan.

When Su Ping came out, everyone looked at him.

The old man with the demonic scripture moved his eyes and couldn't help but get up and walk towards Su Ping.

"How was it? The pill worked pretty well, didn't it?" the old man from the Demon Scripture said, with a hint of flattery.

Su Ping nodded: "That's good. Anything else?"

"..."

The old man with the demonic scripture was somewhat speechless. This was a King-level Dao-seeking Immortal Pill, did he think it was as common as cabbage?

"Was this pill refined by her?" Su Ping asked, looking at the woman with the demonic cauldron beside him.

Although the woman in the demonic cauldron had somewhat toned down her temper, she still glared at Su Ping: "What do you mean by 'use me'? Am I someone to be used? Your words are incredibly disrespectful!"

"You're not human."

The old man with the demonic scripture ignored their bickering and nodded, saying, "That's right, she is a top-tier treasure cauldron, capable of both alchemy and weapon crafting. If she can advance to the Emperor level, she will be able to craft even more things."

"Since you refined it, you should know the recipe, right?" Su Ping said to the woman in the Demon Cauldron.

The woman in the demonic cauldron snorted coldly, instinctively not wanting to pay attention, but now that she was under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head. In particular, the experience of being suppressed before was like a dark cloud hanging over her mind, becoming a shadow in her heart that she did not want to experience again.

"That old devil is wary of me. Although I refined it, I don't know the complete recipe. I got the recipe from him. If you want the recipe, you have to ask him."

She kicked the ball to the old man with the magic book.

The old man wasn't angry. He nodded and said, "That's right. If you want the recipe, I can write it down for you, but some of the ingredients listed are probably extinct now. Even if you know the recipe, it will be very difficult to make it."

"It's alright, just give me the recipe," Su Ping said.

The old man didn't mind and immediately used his magical power to write the recipe down for Su Ping.

Su Ping read it once and made a note of it. For others, some of the materials here had long been extinct and could not be collected, but he could search for them by cultivating the world.

"The system's cultivation grounds even have the Primordial God Realm, and the Immortal Race should also exist there, only they are outside our universe..." Su Ping thought to himself.

After noting down the prescription, Su Ping said to the two of them, "You two don't seem to get along well with Anna and the others? Why aren't you sitting together?"

The woman in the demonic cauldron slightly pursed her lips, clearly having some objections, but she didn't show it too obviously: "It's not that we're arrogant, it's that they look down on us, think we're your prisoners, and completely ignore us."

Joanna stood up and walked over, glancing at them. "You're prisoners anyway," she said. "So what if I look down on you?"

She turned to Su Ping and said, "It's not that I'm deliberately excluding them, it's just that they both have ill intentions. They keep asking around, clearly harboring malicious thoughts and always thinking about escaping."

The woman in the demonic cauldron immediately replied, "You're talking nonsense. We were just chatting casually."

"Hmph, trying to gather information indirectly? Do you think we're stupid? I've lived as long as you have. When our ancient divine realm stood tall among all the races, your immortal race was just an infant in swaddling clothes, barely born!" Joanna said disdainfully.

Although her cultivation level is lower than the other two, as a pure-blooded god, who can compare to the gods in terms of pride and arrogance?

"The Primordial God Realm has long since perished; it's all just dust in history, not worth mentioning," the old man of the Demon Scripture said indifferently.

Joanna sneered, "Ignorant fools. Who said we perished? Although we suffered a great calamity, we are still perfectly fine. Do you think our ancient ancestral gods are beyond your imagination?"

"Ancestral God?" The old man from the Demon Scripture raised an eyebrow, clearly having never heard of this title before.

However, Joanna's words still shocked him somewhat. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You're saying the Primordial God Realm still exists? Impossible!"

"See? Trying to get information again. Humph, I can't be bothered with you!" Joanna sneered, not intending to give them any information. She already knew from Su Ping that they were magical artifacts sealed in some ancient ruins. Now, countless years have passed, and they are isolated from the world. They probably want to understand the situation of the world right now.

Therefore, when they tried to inquire earlier, she noticed and immediately shooed them aside, refusing to communicate with them.

"You..." The old man of the Demon Scripture was angered by Joanna's alert reaction, and even with his composure, a hint of annoyance flashed across his face.

"I advise you to find a way to take them in quickly, or lock them in the storage room, otherwise they'll definitely run away as soon as you open the shop and do business," Joanna said to Su Ping.

Su Ping thought for a moment and considered signing contracts with the two of them to make them employees of the shop. But then he thought that since the two of them had tried to harm him before, making them employees would be a waste of their time.

"This store offers temporary worker contracts. The host can sign a contract with a suitable employee," the system told Su Ping in his mind.

Su Ping's heart skipped a beat. Temporary worker?

This job is good; it can be used as a substitute when needed.

"Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"This is one of the new rules that came into effect after the store was upgraded to level 5."

"Okay, what are the benefits for temporary workers?"

"Temporary worker contract: The host can only sign contracts with life forms in the host's own world. Temporary workers cannot enter the nurturing world, and once they become permanent workers, they will also be unable to leave the shop."

"During the temporary worker phase, temporary workers have one opportunity per week to leave the store for 24 hours."

"If you fail to return to the shop within the stipulated time, you will be punished for absenteeism, and your cultivation level will be lowered by one realm!"

"If you are absent from work for more than 48 hours, your contract will be terminated immediately. Once the contract is terminated, the contractor will be destroyed." the system replied.

"..."

Su Ping was sweating profusely.

The price for this "absence" is far too high.

As expected of the system, you're ruthless.

However, it's a bit too impressive that this temporary worker was able to leave the store!

"So, if they become temporary workers, they can also be my temporary henchmen. Although they can only leave the store for 24 hours a week, it will be enough in a crisis." Su Ping thought to himself, feeling a little pleased. This new temporary worker contract was quite nice.

"Perhaps we can use the store's system to lure some powerful individuals over and then make them temporary workers..." Su Ping had already started planning.

"The number of temporary workers cannot exceed the number of permanent employees," the system notification stated.

"That's alright, we can just find a few full-time employees in the world of cultivation later."

"The number of full-time employees that the host can sign is limited and is linked to the store's level. Currently, the host can only sign a maximum of five full-time employees," the system said.

"..."

Why wasn't this instruction included before?

Was it added on the spot?

They won't let me exploit the bug?

"It's good that you know," the system said.

He actually admitted it so readily!

Su Ping: "..."

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I can't beat you!

"I know all of your thoughts, host. You didn't have these thoughts before, so I don't need to explain them to you. When you have these thoughts, I will naturally explain them to you. Please focus on raising your pet and don't try to take shortcuts," the system said seriously, its tone unusually earnest.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. "Fine, I'll assume that's how you see it."

Stop arguing with the system. Su Ping looked at the old man with the demonic scripture and the woman with the demonic cauldron and said, "Our shop has a special offer for you two. I wonder if you'd like it?"

"What?"

The woman in the demon cauldron became alert.

This tone seems to be the common language of scammers.

"Join our shop and become a temporary worker," Su Ping said. "That way, I'll protect you, and you won't have to worry about that old devil causing you trouble anymore."

"staff?"

The old man with the demonic scripture was stunned. He hadn't expected Su Ping to make such a request. Indeed, in his view, although Su Ping's tone was questioning, they actually had no choice.

He glanced at Joanna and Fairy Bi, then at the shops around him that his senses couldn't penetrate. Suddenly, a deeply hidden piece of information surfaced in his mind, and his expression changed drastically.

"Ancient Monster Shop?!" the old man with the magic scripture couldn't help but exclaim.

"What?"

The woman with the demonic cauldron was just pondering Su Ping's purpose when she heard the usually composed old man suddenly exclaim in alarm, and she was taken aback: "What Demon Palace?"

The old man with the demonic scripture looked around, unable to hide his shock, and said, "I should have guessed it sooner. It's too similar. Yes, it must be like this. Could it really be that demonic shop?"

Su Ping was stunned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The old man with the demonic scripture looked at Su Ping with a complicated expression and said, "Is your shop specifically for breeding demonic beasts and then selling them to make money off customers?"

"?"

Su Ping thought he was going to say something, but said calmly, "Talking about making money is too formal. We're just helping our customers solve their problems."

"A swindler!" The woman with the demonic cauldron thought to herself.
