Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 2 Ancient Nurturing Grounds (Second Update)

As a homebody, Su Ping spent all his time "studying" online, so he was quite familiar with systems. Overjoyed, he immediately inquired about the system's purpose.

"I am the Super Pet System, dedicated to cultivating the strongest pet beasts in the world. The system's motto is: Everything can be nurtured, everything can be a pet!"

Pet breeding system?

Su Ping was surprised and clicked his tongue in astonishment.

This system is pretty arrogant. Everything is a pet, so does that mean the flowers and plants by the roadside are pets too?

"Flowers and plants can awaken spirituality and become pets. Plant-type pets also evolve from ordinary flowers and plants!" the system replied calmly.

Su Ping froze, his eyes widening. "You can hear my thoughts?"

"My soul is bound to yours, so I naturally know your thoughts... Please note, this is a warning for swearing!"

"..."

Su Ping fell silent.

"System activated. Please bind a pet shop to your account within 24 hours. If binding fails, the system will be deactivated and your memories of that day will be erased..." the system said again.

"Disable the system?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Although the system was a bit strange, having it was better than not having it at all.

"There's a pet shop right in front of me, can I link to it?" Su Ping wondered to himself.

"You can bind it now, please confirm."

Su Ping immediately confirmed.

Anyway, it's his shop, so let him do whatever he wants with it.

"Binding successful, pet store in progress..."

"[Pet Slot] established, [Boarding Space] established, [Nursing Dimension Window] established..."

"Setup complete, new player tutorial initiation..."

"Two pets have been detected in the store. Please select one of them and increase its strength to three times its original level within one week to meet the 'qualified' standard set by this system."

After the system finished speaking, Su Ping immediately felt that the Star Pet Shop he was in was different. The pungent smell of urine and feces was gone, and at the same time, the shop seemed to be much cleaner. Although the items were still the same, it had a brand-new feel to it.

"To triple the strength of a Star Pet? And within a week?"

Su Ping wondered if he had misheard, or if the system was just malfunctioning.

How difficult is it to improve the strength of a star pet?

Without daily hunting training and precious star pet food, it would be impossible to do so!

Let alone increasing one's strength threefold in one go, even increasing it by ten percent is incredibly difficult, let alone with only a week allotted...

"What will happen if the mission fails?" Su Ping asked.

"The host will be subject to a failure penalty. The penalty method will be randomly selected, including lightning punishment, purgatory punishment, and extreme pain experience punishment..." the system said.

Su Ping rolled his eyes; these punishments sounded intimidating just from their names.

"Can't we change the mission?" Su Ping tried one last time to make a plea.

"No." A curt reply: "Please note, this is the second time you've sworn in!"

"..."

"Third warning for swearing; random lightning punishment will be administered!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Su Ping felt a huge electric current surge through his body, causing him to convulse on the spot like a zombie dancing disco.

The electric current came and went quickly. Su Ping felt a burning pain all over his body and wanted to curse, but he forced himself to endure it. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.

"Forget it, let's try the mission first. If it fails, it's because this system is too rubbish!" Su Ping gritted his teeth in resentment.

He dragged his aching body to the pet room inside the store.

Upon entering the pet room, Su Ping noticed that the space was much more spacious. The area was still the same size as before, but the more than twenty empty iron cages that had been piled up inside were gone, replaced by two stone cages.

Although it is called a gabion, it is actually more like a strange stone formation.

Several stalagmites rose from the ground, surrounding the two star pets. The gaps between the stalagmites were very large, and there was no top. The star pets could easily jump out or squeeze through the gaps.

However, both of these star pets stayed obediently inside, showing no intention of 'escaping' whatsoever.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow, guessing that this was probably the system's doing, and the "pet slot" mentioned earlier was probably referring to this.

He glanced at the two pets in the stone formation; they were both fairly common battle pets.

One is a Thunder Rat, a relatively low-level agile battle pet. Even in adulthood, it only has the strength of a mid-tier first-level pet. Its evolution probability is extremely low. Even if it evolves into a Thunder Rat, it will only have the strength of a third-level pet, which is basically the maximum limit.

The other is the Moon Chaser, also a low-level agile battle pet. When it reaches adulthood, it has the strength of a Tier 1 superior, roughly equivalent to a Siberian tiger on Earth.

Su Ping vaguely remembered that these two pets were boarded up at their pet shop by others, and they would be picking them up in the next couple of days.

"Let's choose this Thunder Mouse."

After thinking for a moment, Su Ping chose the weaker Thunder Rat, which would have more room for improvement during its training.

"Pet selected. Please draw a breeding plane." The system voice announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom white light suddenly appeared in front of Su Ping, tearing space apart and forming a vertical pupil-like spatial rift filled with a twisted and destructive aura.

Su Ping was startled. After confirming that this thing posed no danger to him, he asked the system, "What is a cultivation plane?"

"The nurturing plane is the main place for nurturing pets. The host can choose the corresponding plane for nurturing the pet."

"Cultivation site?"

Su Ping retrieved some basic knowledge about breeding from his memory. Star pet breeding places great importance on the venue, so many star pet breeding shops rent a large area to build breeding venues, which are professional hunting grounds.

Some large pet stores also offer this service, providing more comprehensive options.

Only some small pet shops like Su Ping's only need to feed and clean the customers' pets.

"Pet detection: Thunder Rat, a Thunder-type pet, has been automatically matched to the optimal breeding plane, the Ancient Thunder Cloud Sea Realm. Enter?"

Su Ping paused, somewhat bewildered, and said, "Let's go in..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the name of this nurturing plane was somewhat familiar.

The origins of star pets vary, but most come from rifts in the starry sky, or from monster planets in the starry sky, while some come from ancient planets.

The Thunder Cloud Sea Realm seems to be the ancient birthplace of thunder-type star pets, which has been shattered and long since disappeared.

Many famous top-tier lightning-type star pets, such as the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon, the Nine-Headed Thunder Emperor, and the Zeus Fal Beast, are said to have originated from the Thunder Cloud Sea. However, with the shattering and disappearance of the Thunder Cloud Sea, these top-tier star pets have become legends and are rarely seen.

Could it be that the place he is going to is the lost ancient land?

Before Su Ping could react, he suddenly felt a powerful suction force pulling his body towards the illusory white light crack in front of him.

My vision blurred and the world seemed to spin.

Then suddenly everything went completely dark.

When visibility returned, all that could be seen was a hazy white mist and the sound of rumbling thunder.

Su Ping was stunned for a moment before he was shocked by the scene before him!

Is this the ancient, lost land?

All around was a vast expanse of white, surrounded by giant trees. Dozens of meters above the treetops, clouds and mist swirled, lightning flashed and purple light flickered, as if dragons were soaring through the clouds.

Where the clouds thin out, a vast starry sky can be seen, with huge planets, some near and some far, visible to the naked eye. They are extremely close to this place, and even the planetary meteorite rings on the surface of the planets are clearly visible.
