Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 187 One Billion

The middle-aged man with a thick beard looked somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, they hunted quite a few monsters, and most of them were seventh or eighth rank monsters.

When the middle-aged man with a thick beard saw the several demonic beast materials radiating energy fluctuations, his expression changed slightly. These materials were all from ninth-tier demonic beasts, and some of the scales, about the size of breastplates, looked somewhat familiar to him.

"This is a mid-level ninth-tier Scale Bone Beast." A middle-aged man with a title walked over, his eyes showing surprise.

This Scale Bone Beast is not weak among ninth-tier demonic beasts, with a mid-level bloodline. Judging from the size of its scales, it is obviously an adult, and at its peak physique. This team actually has the combat power of a mid-level ninth-tier beast.

These materials and energy crystals immediately attracted the attention of several other titled powerhouses, who all gathered around to watch.

The middle-aged man with a thick beard changed his expression upon hearing the words of the titled man. A mid-level ninth-tier demon beast—even he would have a hard time defeating it alone. Clearly, the captain and the two masters who had fallen in this team were extremely powerful beings.

"Young man, may I take a look at your backpack?" A titled expert next to Su Ping asked with a smile.

He sensed a subtle energy fluctuation from Su Ping's backpack. This energy fluctuation was different from anything else, which piqued his curiosity.

Su Ping took out the backpack and emptied the contents.

Besides dry rations and other miscellaneous items, there were some scattered energy crystals, a few monster materials, Star Essence Fruits, and the Soul Lamp Treasure.

Several titled experts glanced at the energy crystals and demon beast materials, automatically ignoring them. Although these things were precious, they were already used to them. On the contrary, the Star Essence Fruit and the Soul Lamp Treasure immediately caught their attention.

"This fruit... seems familiar."

A titled expert with claw marks on his face pondered.

A voluptuous woman nearby suddenly noticed something in her eyes. She quickly looked away from the fruit and said to Su Ping, "Young man, this fruit looks quite delicious. Would you be interested in selling it to me?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow, glanced at her with interest, and asked, "What will you use to buy it?"

"What do you want? Money? Or a secret treasure?" The woman's smile deepened as she saw Su Ping's question, indicating she was willing to sell.

Su Ping smiled slightly and asked, "How much is it in money?"

"How about a million?" the woman said casually.

Su Ping smiled and said, "If you add three zeros to the end, I can consider it."

"Three zeros?" The smile in the woman's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold glint in her eyes. She said, "Young brother, it's just a spiritual fruit. I'm just having a taste. Giving you a million is already quite a lot. Don't miss this opportunity."

Hearing Su Ping's words, the others also sneered, thinking that he was obsessed with money. Not to mention that they didn't even know what kind of spiritual fruit it was, even some extremely rare spiritual fruits would be rare to sell for hundreds of millions.

Su Ping didn't know if the woman was pretending to be stupid or genuinely unaware, and he was too lazy to delve into it or consider it further. When the instrument was handed over for testing later, it would compare all the information in the database and would definitely be able to identify what it was. He said directly, "This is the Star Essence Spirit Fruit. I don't know if you've all heard of it. Anyone below the ninth rank who takes it can directly advance a small rank!"

"It's most effective on those at the ninth rank or higher, directly reaching the limit of the title. Do you think selling this for a billion is expensive?"

"Star Essence Fruit?!"

"Is it that thing?!"

When Su Ping uttered the words "Star Essence Spirit Fruit," the expressions of several titled experts instantly changed.

They were constantly thinking about improving their power, so they naturally knew about this extremely famous Star Essence Fruit. However, this thing was extremely rare, existing only in unknown regions within some star rifts, and was something that could only be encountered by chance.

Unexpectedly, the fruit in front of me is actually the mysterious and rare Star Essence Spirit Fruit!

The voluptuous woman who had previously offered a price changed her expression slightly, a hint of annoyance in her eyes. She hadn't expected Su Ping to know about this item.

"This is actually a Star Essence Fruit, tsk tsk..."

Several titled experts showed their envy. This was a treasure that could instantly boost their strength by a small amount. To reach their level and further improve their strength, they would not only need to spend several years of hard work, but also need to use some spiritual treasures containing energy.

"It seems that Feng Niang recognized this item beforehand. No wonder she was willing to spend a million to buy it." A titled man with a crew cut and short hair mocked. He thought that if she hadn't recognized the item and sold it, she would have lost a fortune.

The voluptuous woman named Fengniang snorted coldly and said, "If I recognized her, I would have offered a hundred million right away."

Everyone else chuckled inwardly upon hearing this. Offering 100 million outright seemed like a blatant attempt to cover up their mistake. They could only take it with a grain of salt; even the speaker himself didn't believe it.

"Young man, I'll take this."

A refined-looking man with a title who had been silent until now smiled and said, "It's settled, as you said, for ten billion."

Everyone else glanced at him, but they weren't surprised.

"Brother Shuhai is so generous, giving away 1 billion so readily. If it were me, I would really be reluctant to part with it."

"I have no objection to giving this to Brother Shuhai. If Brother Shuhai takes this treasure, he will immediately become a titled master. After cultivating for a few more years, he might even be able to catch up with the Sword Master."

"No, no, you can't say that," the refined man said.

He then looked at Su Ping and smiled, "My name is Qin Shuhai. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be from Longjiang Base City. What a coincidence, I also come from Longjiang. We are fellow townsmen."

"Qin Shuhai..."

Upon hearing this name, Luo Guxue, Ye Chenshan, and the others standing nearby couldn't help but change their expressions.

Ye Chenshan whispered, "Are you the senior from the Qin family, the one known as the 'Poetry Madman'?"

"Please excuse my poor attempt at humor." Qin Shuhai smiled slightly.

Upon hearing his admission, Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan exchanged glances. A hint of warmth appeared in Luo Guxue's eyes as she said, "Senior Qin, Qin Yuanfeng and I are instructors at the same school. I often hear Instructor Yuanfeng mention you, saying that you are the person he respects the most."

Qin Shuhai glanced at her with some surprise, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect we had some connection. Yuan Feng is also my peer, only his aptitude is a little lacking. But he works very hard, and he'll be close to achieving a title soon, right?"

Luo Guxue felt a little embarrassed. Qin Yuanfeng was a highly respected figure in the academy, admired by countless students. She never expected that Qin Shuhai would describe him as someone with slightly inferior aptitude. If the other students in the academy heard this, they would probably be dumbfounded.

"Master Yuanfeng should be here soon. He's also come to the secret realm this time. Haven't you seen him before, senior?" Luo Guxue asked.

Qin Shuhai shook his head. "I have to stay here to guard the security checkpoint. But now that he's here, I'll be able to see him once he comes out of the secret realm."

"Mmm." Luo Guxue nodded obediently.

In front of Qin Shuhai, she could only be considered a junior, both in terms of age and strength.

Seeing Qin Shuhai catching up with Su Ping and the others, the others felt helpless, knowing that even if they wanted to compete for it, it was probably hopeless.

Qin Shuhai asked Luo Guxue, "Who's in charge here? Now that this thing has been revealed, I suggest you sell it. After all, it's an extremely rare treasure. Even if I got it, I'd have to use it immediately, otherwise it would likely attract the covetous eyes of some people."

Luo Guxue naturally understood this principle: it's not the theft itself that's frightening, but the fact that the thief has his eye on it.

"It is mainly thanks to Instructor Su that we were able to obtain this item; all of these things were decided by Instructor Su."

Luo Guxue turned to look at Su Ping, her eyes filled with a hint of reverence. Compared to her awe of Qin Shuhai, she felt a mixture of awe and admiration for Su Ping. After all, Su Ping was already a titled expert at such a young age, and his future potential was no less than Qin Shuhai's.

Hearing Luo Guxue's words and seeing her gaze, Qin Shuhai was somewhat surprised. Following her gaze, he discovered that the Instructor Su she mentioned was actually Su Ping, the youngest member of the team.

The one in charge here is actually the person with the weakest aura and the youngest age?
