Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 211 Encountering Students

On the deserted highway, there were few people. Su Ping occasionally encountered a few pioneering vehicles heading to the secret realm. Judging from the license plates and directions, they were all from Longjiang Base City.

Several hours later.

Su Ping rode the Dark Dragon Dog and successfully arrived at the front of the pioneering base.

This is a transit point on the desolate highway. Before entering the base, Su Ping put the exhausted Dark Dragon Hound into his spatial storage.

"It seems I'll need to find a flying pet for transportation sometime. Once I become a high-level pet master, I'll be qualified to ride a flying pet within the base city. With a flying pet, it'll be convenient to go anywhere and the travel speed will be faster," Su Ping thought to himself.

He looked at the sky; it was already afternoon.

Walking into the pioneering base, Su Ping planned to find a vehicle to take back to the base city. This would be much more convenient than riding the Dark Dragon Hound back to the base, and he could ride directly into the city.

After all, mounts and pets are not allowed in the city unless you are a pet master. However, most pet masters will not use mounts and pets to show off in the city unless necessary.

"I wonder if Ye Chenshan and Luo Guxue have returned yet?"

Su Ping entered the pioneering base and walked along the chaotic streets. After all, this pioneering base was a wilderness encampment, and it often transported the corpses of monsters. The streets were smelly and stained with blood, making them look rather dirty and messy.

Along the streets, some pioneers set up stalls selling rare materials from monsters, such as poison sacs and fangs, which can be used in weapons. Poison sacs from some rare and highly venomous creatures are especially scarce.

Su Ping planned to go find Luo Guxue first. She was an academy instructor and lived in the base city, so he could ride back with her.

He had only walked a few steps when, suddenly, Su Ping heard several familiar voices at the entrance of a street alley.

……

……

"Captain Zhou, this distribution is unfair!"

"Exactly! Although we're newcomers, we've put in a lot of effort along the way. Senior Sister Su's Thunder Light Rat even killed several high-level demonic beasts. To not share any of the merit with us is just too much!"

At the street corner, eight or nine people were gathered, seemingly forming a team.

Four of them stood to one side, all in their early twenties, looking very young with fair and delicate skin. They were clearly not veteran pioneers who often spent time in the wilderness, and their features still retained the naivety nurtured in the base city.

On the other side, there were five people, both men and women, wearing different styles of armor. They had a cold and capable demeanor. The leader was a burly middle-aged man with claw marks and knife wounds on his arms, making him look slightly ferocious. These were his battle medals.

His face was cold at this moment, and his brows furrowed even more when he heard the two girls arguing in front of him.

"Hmph, what are you yelling about? You students are lucky if a team is willing to take you along for practice. You want merit points? You're dreaming!" A short-haired youth with a cold face and a fiery temper glared at the four students in the team.

Of the four students, three are girls and one is a boy.

The boy's expression changed slightly. The young man had been quite amiable towards them throughout the journey, but now that the topic of benefits and merits came up, he immediately turned hostile. He angrily said, "The academy arranged for your team to take care of us, and we've already given your team benefits. The monsters we hunted during the pioneering work should be distributed according to merit. It would be one thing if you got a larger share, but not giving us any is too greedy!"

"Distribute according to merit? What right do you have to talk about merit? You've been dragging our feet all this way, and you still dare to talk about merit?" A black-haired woman next to her sneered. There was an old scar on her face, making her delicate face look somewhat ugly and ferocious.

"Holding us back? There are some things we don't understand, which caused some minor trouble for the team, but none of them were fatal. Moreover, we have listened to your advice all the way and have not acted on our own!"

"In the battle against the Flaming Dragon Elephant Beast, if it weren't for Senior Sister Su's Thunder Light Rat holding back the other two demonic beasts, could we have wiped them all out unscathed? Besides, shouldn't we get some of the merit points from selling the high-level demonic beasts that Senior Sister Su's Thunder Light Rat killed?" The youngest girl among them said angrily.

The burly middle-aged man at the head of the group frowned even more deeply upon hearing her words. These people had been obedient children all along the way, and they thought they could be easily scared. However, the youngest one was the first to jump out, which immediately provoked a reaction from the other three, who all joined in the commotion. The most silent one was the girl who held the monstrous Thunder Rat in her hand. She was the most well-behaved and clearly the kind of person who didn't like to cause trouble.

"Have you said enough?" he asked, his voice low and deep, carrying the ruthless aura of years spent fighting in the frontier.

The previously angry girl and the boy immediately fell silent, their expressions changing slightly.

Although they were furious, they knew the situation was dire. This burly middle-aged man was the team captain, already a seventh-tier high-level battle pet master, just one step away from becoming a battle pet master! His main pet was also extremely powerful, a mid-eighth-tier demon-type pet that could easily defeat them.

Upon hearing the burly middle-aged man speak, the girl who had remained silent inside raised her head, took a small step forward to block the other three people, and stared directly at the burly middle-aged man.

Seeing her attitude, the burly middle-aged man's face darkened slightly. Although the girl's abnormal lightning rat made him somewhat wary, it was, after all, a low-blooded demon beast, and it was no match for his eighth-tier battle pet.

"You new pioneers don't know any rules. You're new to pioneering, so just follow the team leader and learn. You want to steal merit points? Are you sure you really want that? Don't you think about the future? Do you even want to stay in this pioneering circle?" The burly middle-aged man warned him coldly, as if he were an elder.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four people changed slightly.

Three of them fell silent. The reason they hadn't been the first to question him was because of this. After all, they had already graduated and were about to enter the wasteland to become official pioneers, unlike the other one who was still a first-year student.

"This harvest is quite bountiful, and the merit points you've exchanged are substantial. Are you envious? Don't forget, without us, do you think you could have come back alive?" The burly middle-aged man sneered, seeing that he had intimidated the group.

Seeing that the others still didn't speak, his expression softened slightly, and he said, "However, you did play a role in this land reclamation, at least you didn't hold us back too much. For this merit, each of you three will get a thousand, and Su Yanying, you will get two thousand. That's settled."

The four men's expressions shifted, becoming somewhat grim.

Although they were very dissatisfied with the distribution of merits, there was nothing they could do.

The girl gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, wanting to speak, but she knew that the situation was beyond her control. At that moment, she suddenly realized that even if she learned all the knowledge in the academy, it would be difficult to truly establish herself in this world.

Only the fist holds the right!

"Oh, everyone's here?" A soft laugh suddenly came from behind.

All nine of them were startled and turned to look, only to see a young man walking towards them from the street corner.

The burly men frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. They didn't recognize the man, but upon seeing his age, they immediately knew that he was most likely a student and acquainted with the others beside him.

When Su Yanying and the others standing next to them saw the boy's appearance, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

It's him?

All four of them were stunned.

The girl's reaction was the most astonished. She never expected to see him here. Wasn't this awful old man supposed to be minding the shop?

"Professor Su?"

The boy and the other long-legged girl exclaimed in surprise, never expecting to see the famous Su Ping from the academy here. What a small world!

"Boss Su?" Su Yanying was stunned. She hadn't expected to meet Su Ping in the wasteland. In her mind, although Su Ping was strong, he would only stay in his small shop.
