Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 230 Return, Divine and Demonic Battle Techniques! (Two-in-One)

As the countdown ended, a familiar sense of time and space shifted, and when Su Ping opened his eyes again, the surrounding scenery had returned to the pet room of the shop.

At that moment, a surge of energy came from the side. Su Ping turned his head and saw that Joanna's figure had also appeared out of thin air.

"This is... the Primordial God Realm?" Joanna looked around, somewhat surprised.

Back on his own turf, Su Ping stopped being polite and adopted the airs of a boss, saying, "This is a shop. If you want to go to the Primordial God Realm, you'll have to perform well first. Only when you become an outstanding employee will you have a chance."

Hearing Su Ping's tone, Joanna raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "When will I be selected as an outstanding employee?"

As soon as she asked the question, she felt a slight sense of shame. It was unimaginable that someone of her noble status, who was close to the highest god, would have to strive to be an excellent employee!

"The selection is done every quarter, and if you perform well, you'll be selected in advance."

Su Ping already knew the relevant rules for selecting outstanding employees from the system, and said calmly, "What you need to do now is to serve customers well and listen to me. This is the basic principle for an employee."

Joanna's face darkened with anger. "Don't think you can boss me around just because you're the boss!"

"Is that so?" Su Ping chuckled coldly, "If you speak to me like that again, I'll deduct one point from your score!"

Joanna glared at him.

At that moment, a virtual framework suddenly appeared in her mind, containing her personal employee information.

This information was extremely detailed, recording her true divine spirit's combat power, cultivation realm, the various techniques she cultivated, as well as the realm and combat power of her reincarnated body—all clearly stated.

Below the numerous personal profiles are employee points.

Her initial employee points are currently 100.

Next to the employee points was a question mark. When she focused her attention on it, a message appeared that explained the points system.

Employees who accumulate 200 points can be selected as outstanding employees.

If an employee's score falls below 80 points, basic employee benefits will be cancelled.

If the score drops below 60, the employee's status will be revoked, all original privileges will be stripped away, and they will be converted into a shop pet...

"?!"

Joanna was immediately taken aback.

Employees with less than 60 points are converted into pets?!

This point wasn't mentioned at all in the previous contract!

As a pure-blooded goddess who is usually noble and elegant, she felt an urge to curse at this moment.

This is a blatant rip-off!

She was filled with regret. What angered and terrified her the most was that the information about her on the employee information form was extremely detailed, including her background, bloodline, combat strength, realm, and the secret techniques she had mastered. Everything was clearly recorded, and there were even some secret techniques that she herself had almost forgotten. This was more detailed than checking the divine register!

She felt a mix of emotions.

Just by looking at this employee form, she knew that she couldn't fight against the shop.

However, what made her feel slightly better was that, judging from Su Ping's attitude towards her, she guessed that Su Ping did not have absolute control over the scoring, otherwise this guy would have already deducted all her employee points and turned her into a pet beast.

"See this foster care space over there? Now, you go inside and stay put. Don't come out without my permission," Su Ping said to Joanna, who was deep in thought.

Joanna glanced at Su Ping, gritting her teeth inwardly. Although she guessed that Su Ping couldn't completely control her rating, as an employee, she didn't dare to risk the consequences of disobeying her boss.

She snorted angrily in her heart, and her eyes followed Su Ping's finger, seeing several small spirit arrays on the ground.

A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. There was actually a spirit array inside this shop?

Before Su Ping could say anything more, she went to the spirit array and found that most of the spirit arrays had small demon beasts living inside.

These demonic beasts, shrunk to the size of pets, lay fast asleep within the spirit array.

Joanna carefully examined the spirit array, the surprise in her eyes gradually disappearing. Although the spirit array was somewhat mysterious, it was still within her comprehension and not too profound. If given the materials, she could set it up herself.

"However, such a pure spirit array is rare these days." Joanna stepped into a spirit array and immediately felt her body enveloped by a force that compressed her body. Meanwhile, Su Ping in her sight rapidly grew to an infinitely tall size, until he became a giant.

At this moment, a large amount of spiritual energy surged out from the spirit array and flowed into her body.

"Such pure spiritual energy." Joanna was somewhat surprised.

Such pure and unadulterated spiritual energy is extremely rare; even in the land of fallen demigods, it is difficult to encounter.

The Demigod's Fallen Land was once a battlefield, and its energy was destroyed, leaving only chaotic and violent energy raging. After countless years, this chaotic energy gradually subsided, but the remaining divine energy was not much, and the other elemental energies were even less. Spiritual energy was no exception; there was very little spiritual energy in the God Realm, and when it occasionally appeared, it was gradually assimilated by the divine energy.

It was precisely because the energy of the demigods' fallen lands was scarce and depleted that, over countless years, a few supreme gods were born.

The supreme god is almost immortal and has an endless lifespan, unless he seeks his own death.

"Although this spiritual energy is not as domineering as divine energy, it has its own unique uses. It can awaken intelligence and increase potential. Look at the little demons in the other spirit arrays. They all have extremely low-level bloodlines, yet they can enjoy such treatment. This shop is really strange..." Joanna thought to herself.

She sat upright in the spirit array, closed her eyes, and used her cultivation technique to accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy to nourish her body.

This spiritual energy is insignificant to her original body, but since her reincarnated body is only at the King Beast level, this spiritual energy is still somewhat helpful to her.

……

……

Seeing that Joanna had calmed down in the spirit array, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He let her stay in the foster care space mainly because he was afraid that if he took her out, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his mother and Su Lingyue outside.

After all, he spent half a day alone here, and when he came out, he brought out a girl... He's not Piccolo Daimaou, you know.

Thinking of them, Su Ping suddenly realized that it was rather quiet outside.

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly opened the door to look.

At the counter, Mom was sitting on the only chair in the store, asleep with her head resting on the counter. Su Lingyue, on the other hand, was sitting on the wooden floor, leaning against the counter, playing with a communicator, her fingers constantly tapping on the screen. Su Ping knew it was the match-3 game she often played.

Seeing that they were alright, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost been scared to death.

Seeing Su Lingyue engrossed in the game, Su Ping was speechless. What time is it? She still has the mood to play games. This girl is really carefree.

However, he has been in the demigod's land for seven days, and seven hours have passed in the outside world, yet the beings he imagined he would provoke have not come knocking on his door yet, which is a bit strange.

Logically speaking, someone who controls the secret realm should have an extremely wide network of connections, so finding his address should be a piece of cake. Seven hours have passed, and he still hasn't come. Could it be that he's tied up with something, or that they've simply overlooked him?

Su Ping shook his head. No matter which way it was, the peace he was in was only temporary. He still needed to improve his combat power as soon as possible, upgrade his shop, expand his territory, and increase the safety zone.

"Um?"

Hearing the door open, Su Lingyue looked up from the screen and saw Su Ping standing in the doorway. She said irritably, "You've finally come out. You've been in there long enough. I called you so many times but you didn't answer."

Su Ping raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you call me?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to order takeout and was wondering if that was okay."

"These are extraordinary times. Don't eat takeout; it's easy to get sick," Su Ping said earnestly.

"Hmph." Su Lingyue snorted lightly and said, "Anyway, I've already been hungry, so I don't care. I'm just worried that Mom won't get to eat and will go hungry."

Su Ping frowned; this was indeed a problem.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Beep!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the temporary task 'Professional Training'."

"Mission Rewards: One Intermediate Origin Force Pill and one random Divine Demon Battle Technique."

The system's voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a virtual roulette wheel appeared in front of Su Ping.

"Um?"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback.

Only then did he remember the Heavenly Fragrant Pig. The main reason for going to the Demigod's Fall was to complete this temporary mission and, incidentally, unlock the conditions for upgrading the shop to level three. Under his "careful attention," the Heavenly Fragrant Pig had successfully reached the upper-middle grade and its combat power had increased dramatically.

"Intermediate-grade Origin Force Pill, tsk tsk, I just broke through from the fourth rank to the fifth rank in the Demigod Fallen Land. With this Origin Force Pill, I can directly advance to the sixth rank. If I combine it with the Prism Star Core amplification, I can unleash eighth-rank master-level star power energy in a short time!"

Su Ping's eyes lit up.

Besides the Origin Force Pill, the Divine Demon Battle Techniques that followed also greatly appealed to Su Ping.

I already knew about this reward when I accepted the mission, and now it's finally time to reap the rewards.

He turned around and closed the door again, returning to the pet room to avoid being seen by Su Lingyue. After all, to outsiders, the way he stared at the virtual roulette wheel looked like he was just spacing out.

Seeing Su Ping retreat back into the room, Su Lingyue glared at him and said irritably, "How much longer are you going to stay in there?"

"soon."

Su Ping replied.

Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows a few times, then remained silent. Looking down, she was immediately furious. She had been so focused on talking that she had forgotten to pause. The challenge had failed.

(╬▔盘▔)

……

……

"Extract!"

Su Ping silently recited to the illusory roulette wheel.

The roulette wheel immediately began to spin, faster and faster, before quickly slowing down and gradually coming to a stop at its peak…

When completely still, a cheat code pops up on top—

Demon-Suppressing Fist

"Martial arts?"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback when he saw the manual. He hadn't expected to draw a book on fist techniques; he had thought it would be something like sword or knife techniques.

"receive."

He was silent.

The golden manual on the roulette wheel instantly transformed into a stream of light, surging into his sea of ​​consciousness. A wealth of information then surfaced, and Su Ping saw a vast, desolate world, with shattered battlefields scattered across the ground.

Countless demons crawled on the ground, and demons danced wildly.

In this chaotic and dark world, an extremely intense golden light suddenly erupted, dispelling the darkness of the entire sky. Then, a golden divine fist, tens of thousands of miles in size, suddenly smashed down from the horizon, from the distant other side.

This golden divine fist was unmatched, sweeping all the way through. Countless demons on the ground rose up to attack, but in front of the golden divine fist, they were like moths to a flame, turning into ashes and unable to resist!

Su Ping was completely shocked by this scene.

The domineering aura and invincible power of that punch were deeply imprinted in his heart.

Let the demons run rampant; with a single punch, they're all just bubbles!

When the scene ended, what followed was the narration of the creator of this set of boxing techniques. What Su Ping saw was a hazy and huge black shadow. From the message, he knew that this being was a beast king, a beast king with unparalleled talent who cultivated in the wild land in the very early ancient times!

"A boundless righteous spirit, an overbearing aura, invincible power..."

Su Ping was completely immersed in this set of boxing techniques.

For a long, long time.

Once the contents of the boxing technique were fully etched into his mind, he gradually came back to his senses. When he reviewed the technique again, he was deeply shocked.

This is an extremely terrifying fist technique with five levels. If you cultivate to the fifth level, you can unleash the terrifying power shown in the previous scene!

Even if you only cultivate to the first level, you can still kill a ninth-level demon beast with a single punch!

"Such an astonishing fist technique is too powerful! This must be the work of a hero from ancient times. Even after countless years and their own demise, the traces of their existence cannot be completely erased, leaving behind this god-like fist technique!"

Su Ping was shocked, envious, and filled with longing.

He hopes that one day he can also have such strength and such extraordinary achievements.

I took a deep breath.

Su Ping gradually focused his mind back on the boxing technique. He tried to practice it, but found that even though the technique was imprinted in his mind and he knew all the methods of practice, it was extremely difficult to actually do it.

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit, concentrated into one, the energy circulation pathway..."

Su Ping closed his eyes and tried it.

A moment later, he tried to throw a punch.

Whoosh!

A faint whistling sound could be heard in the air.

Su Ping opened his eyes and looked at his fist. Although he was still far from mastering the first level, the power of that punch was significantly stronger than his usual attacks.

If you can generate a low-pitched boom with a single punch, you've mastered the first level of the skill.

"Forget it, I can't master it overnight. I should deal with the shop matter first." Su Ping put his mind at ease. He would focus on practicing the fist technique after he got through this hurdle. After all, it was impossible to master it overnight, as it was a top-tier combat technique.

Su Ping flipped his hand and took out the medium-grade Origin Force Pill from his storage space.

The perfectly round Yuanli Dan looked extremely tempting and delicious.

Without saying a word, Su Ping immediately took it.

A warm current surged from his dantian, and a large amount of energy instantly filled his body, permeating his limbs and bones. In a short while, Su Ping felt his realm rapidly soar, rising from the lower fifth rank to the lower sixth rank.

It has reached a whole new level.

If he had another one, he could have reached the peak of the sixth rank, just one step away from the seventh rank, but unfortunately he didn't.

However, Su Ping was satisfied. After all, he had only been a pet master for a month or two, and it was already quite amazing that he had such combat power.

Composing himself, Su Ping opened the door and stepped out of the pet room. Looking at Su Lingyue, who was still playing Candy Crush on the floor outside, he asked, "While I was taking care of the pets in there, did the real estate agent come by?"

Su Lingyue looked up at him and said irritably, "I've been here before, and I even asked you. Since you didn't answer me, I didn't open the door and told them to come back later."

Su Ping nodded; the companies listed on the Pioneer website were indeed highly efficient.

He logged onto the Pioneers website using a communicator and contacted the companies again, urging them to come over as soon as possible.

After making contact, Su Ping closed the door and continued practicing his boxing inside while waiting.

Su Lingyue rolled her eyes when she saw Su Ping go inside again, then turned pale with shock and hurriedly looked at her communicator... Holy crap!!

┻━┻︵╰(‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

……

……

Half an hour later, the agents Su Ping had contacted arrived outside the store.

Su Ping pulled open the roller shutter door, took the surrounding land deeds from their hands, and then paid the remaining balance via bank transfer in person.

The forty or fifty land deeds cost a total of about two hundred million.

Each land deed was sold for around four or five hundred. After all, this is a poor area. Although it is a storefront, it usually only sells for a little over a million. Su Ping paid three times the price, so it was only four or five million.

Su Ping flipped through the land deeds and found that the shops he had purchased varied in size, but the total area was four to five thousand square meters.

The required space for upgrading the store is 3,000 square meters, which is more than enough.

With time pressing, Su Ping plans to take over the entire street when he has more free time, so that the whole street will be his property, belonging to his absolutely secure territory.

Now that both conditions have been met, all you need to do is pay for energy to upgrade to a level three store.

Su Ping didn't think much of it. After exchanging a few polite words with the agents and letting them leave, he returned to the store and immediately upgraded his account.
