Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 242 Suppression

After testing the price of the little skeleton, Su Ping then tested several other creatures.

Among them, the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast is the most expensive, reaching 150,000, but its bloodline value accounts for a large proportion of its price, after all, it has the bloodline of a Purgatory King Beast.

While Dark Dragon Dogs and Purple-Green Pythons, which lack a strong bloodline background, are quite powerful, they are priced at only 50,000 to 80,000, which is very cheap.

Su Ping estimated that an ordinary ninth-tier high-level demon beast would have about 70,000 to 80,000 energy, and a worse one might have at most 40,000 to 50,000 energy.

This price is very affordable.

If it weren't for the fact that animal traps were cheaper, Su Ping would never have made such a losing deal.

"Those few ninth-tier extreme demonic beasts captured from the secret realm can be sold. Selling them below market price is a bit of a loss, but it's not entirely without benefits. At least it can attract a lot of customers and make the shop famous, instead of just limiting ourselves to the academy. After all, not many students in the academy are rich..."

Su Ping pondered the development of the shop.

Joanna sat listlessly on the lounge chair, feeling rather sleepy despite her powerful mental strength.

Seeing Joanna looking idle, Su Ping raised an eyebrow and, with a sudden thought, called out to her, "Come with me to the breeding grounds."

"Cultivation grounds?"

Joanna frowned.

Su Ping didn't say much, but summoned the cultivation list and selected the cheapest cultivation site with only 1 point of energy.

"Enter."

Su Ping immediately paid the energy and simultaneously bound Joanna to enter together.

An attraction suddenly drew Su Ping and Joanna to each other, teleporting them both into the nurturing plane.

After the system notification indicated that the dimensional connection had ended, Su Ping looked at the desolate nurturing dimension before him. This was a deserted world devoid of any life that he had deliberately chosen, which could be used as a battleground.

The air here is thin, the ground is bare with no plants, the light is very weak, and the temperature is extremely low.

"This..." Joanna was slightly taken aback, looking at this completely unfamiliar world with some shock.

One moment she was inside the shop, and the next she was in this world completely outside her perception?

Could it be that Su Ping entered the Divine Realm in this way?

Su Ping glanced at Joanna. He had brought her here specifically to intimidate her, as a kind of pre-opening training for employees before the store officially opened.

He took out his animal-catching ring from his storage space.

One by one, beast-catching rings appeared in his hand. He stared at them for a moment, then suddenly injected star power into them, releasing the restrictions on the beast-catching rings.

With a bang, the animal trap rings shattered one by one.

Roar! !

From the first shattered beast-trapping ring, a ferocious and enormous shadow suddenly emerged—the very same Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon that had nearly caused Su Ping's danger in the secret realm.

These past few days, imprisoned by chains within the animal trap, the old dragon had become much more docile. However, it hadn't expected that the thing that imprisoned it would break, allowing it to escape!

"Damn humans!!"

Its pair of ferocious dragon eyes were fixed on Su Ping, and it spoke in human language, indicating that it already possessed a considerable level of intelligence.

Its spirits had been somewhat low after being imprisoned for days, but the moment it was freed, it felt as if it had returned to its peak; this was the taste of freedom.

"It's up to you. Tame them one by one. As an employee of the store, this is your job to assist me," Su Ping said, taking advantage of the situation.

In reality, Joanna's job did not include taming monsters for him in the breeding grounds. Otherwise, he would have made a fortune. He could have gone to different breeding planes to capture king-level monsters and sell them. Even if he sold them at a very low price, he could have become an instant millionaire.

Joanna was slightly taken aback. Her brows furrowed as she saw the demonic beast figures leaping out from the shattered black rings. She immediately realized what Su Ping's purpose was in bringing her here—he was clearly using her!

In the past, given her arrogant nature, she would have stood by and watched coldly, perhaps even adding a few sarcastic remarks.

But now, having been suddenly moved from the shop to this unfamiliar place, some of her preconceived notions have been completely overturned.

At this moment, she not only feared the mysterious power within the shop, but also felt a sense of apprehension towards Su Ping.

The ability to travel freely between different worlds, even if it doesn't belong to Su Ping himself, is already incredibly terrifying just because he can use it.

After a brief silence, hearing the angry roars that rang out around her, she suddenly felt a sense of irritation. A powerful aura burst forth from her body, and pure, holy golden light emanated from her entire being.

"Noisy!"

She slightly raised her eyes, scanning the ferocious beasts that rushed out of the black ring.

Many peak ninth-tier demonic beasts, including the Flame Scale Flood Dragon and the Purple Fire Qilin Beast, immediately noticed the golden figure and felt a terrifying energy emanating from her that was more terrifying than death.

The Flame-Scaled Dragon's ferocious eyes narrowed sharply, and it asked in fear, "You, who are you?"

It never expected that after finally breaking free from the shackles of that strange treasure, it would encounter such a terrifying existence so soon after emerging. At this moment, it even had the idea of ​​returning to that imprisoned space.

The purple-flame Qilin beast beside it also instantly lost its ferocity and looked at the golden-haired girl in fear.

It felt a tremor from her very soul; she was a being far superior to it, like encountering a natural enemy.

"You maggot-like ant-like beastmen, how dare you ask my name? Die!"

Golden light gathered in Joanna's palm, and the prototype of the divine spear gradually appeared. Suddenly, a hurricane swept through this desolate world, and dense energy gathered around her body.

Seeing the killing intent emanating from Joanna, Su Ping was startled and quickly said, "I'm not killing them, just taming them. Don't kill them."

Joanna frowned, glanced down at him, paused for a moment, then looked up at the five ferocious beasts before her and said, "Submit, or die!"

Ugh!

Although the Purple Fire Qilin Beast could not speak human language, it was still intelligent. Upon hearing this, it immediately lay down on its limbs as if granted a pardon, indicating its submission.

The other ferocious beasts also lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to look Joanna in the eye.

The Flame-Scaled Dragon's eyes were filled with shock, fear, and deep resentment, but in the end, it lowered its head and scratched deep furrows into the ground with its claws. "I submit..."

Su Ping looked at the five ferocious beasts trembling and was somewhat amazed. As expected of a king-level god, it didn't even have to make a move. It was enough to intimidate these peak ninth-tier ferocious beasts with its aura alone. It was too strong.

Seeing that the demonic beasts had all submitted, Su Ping stepped forward and said to the Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon, "If I remember correctly, wasn't there only one Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon guarding the Star Essence Fruit? How did you manage to hide?"

The Flame Scale Dragon was taken aback, not expecting that Su Ping would know about this. It glanced at the human, then at Joanna, who was floating in mid-air with overwhelming divine power. After hesitating for a moment, it said, "Although we are demon beasts, we do not wish to become domestic fowl. The old dragon king imprisoned our ancestors in his body, making them guard the inheritance and miscellaneous items for him generation after generation. No matter how many generations we reproduce and cultivate, we can never escape the rules he left behind."

Hundreds of years ago, its soul power suddenly weakened, and I only managed to escape the calamity by chance. I secretly cultivated in seclusion, hoping to transcend the tribulation and become a king beast, thus escaping that sinful land…”

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. It seemed that his guess was pretty much correct. This old dragon was the previous Flame Scale Flood Dragon that guarded the Star Essence Fruit, and it had survived.

"Does becoming a king beast require undergoing tribulation?" Su Ping asked curiously.

The Flame-Scaled Flood Dragon paused slightly, looking at him with a strange expression. "Of course, a King Beast is no longer an ordinary beast. When it evolves into a King Beast, it will inevitably disturb the forces of nature and bring down punishment..."

Joanna glanced at Su Ping and said, "This is not a punishment from the forces of nature, but a test from the heavens! Only those who pass the test can transform from mortal beasts into spirit beasts, while those who fail the test will only be reduced to ashes."

In this vast and complex world, changing one's bloodline and destiny is no easy feat, especially a leap in the very essence of life—it's even more difficult!

Looking into her eyes, Su Ping saw a hint of pity for the first time. It wasn't mocking pity, but a very touching kind of pity.

"I see……"

Su Ping finally gained some understanding of the King Beast.

He glanced at the five ferocious beasts in front of him and saw that Joanna had subdued them all, so his mission here was complete.

……

...

Back in the shop, Su Ping selected another breeding ground, also with 1 energy point. It contained some low-level demonic beasts and the environment was decent. He transferred the Flame Scale Flood Dragon and other demonic beasts to this plane, essentially 'grazing' them there.

Ignoring the monsters, Su Ping sat in the shop, waiting for customers to come in.

However, several hours passed and not a single person was seen.

Su Ping was a little puzzled. Even though the shop hadn't been upgraded before and was in a dilapidated state, business had never been this bad.

"Could it be because all the students have gone to the wasteland to train?" Su Ping frowned slightly. This was a bit of a headache. His shop's reputation was currently limited to the academy. All the students had gone outside to train, and those who hadn't gone to the wasteland were all unskilled and didn't have much money at home, so it was no wonder they had no business.

He had just upgraded his shop and wanted to promote his professional training services, but no customers came in at all.

Su Ping ran his fingers through his hair, then noticed Joanna sitting bored in a chair. Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Why don't you go to the door and try to attract some customers?"

Joanna asked in confusion, "Recruit? How do you recruit them?"

"This..." Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, suddenly unsure of how to teach.

Just then, footsteps came from outside. Su Ping's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked over, only to see Su Lingyue entering the room.

The surprise on his face vanished instantly.

Su Lingyue cautiously entered through the door. Seeing Su Ping sitting inside, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise, "This is what was renovated yesterday? It's practically a reconstruction! I almost didn't recognize it."

Su Ping asked weakly, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing his voice, Su Lingyue raised an eyebrow and said irritably, "They invited you to dinner, huh? And who is this?"

Her gaze was instantly drawn to Joanna on the chair next to her. She was so beautiful that even though she was a girl, she was still somewhat amazed and couldn't bear to look away from her face.

I have never seen such a stunningly beautiful girl.

Su Ping, who was lying on the table, sat up upon hearing this. Considering that they would inevitably run into each other in the future, she thought it best to introduce them.

"This is a new employee at the store, just call her Joanna. And this is my mischievous younger sister, Su Lingyue."

Su Lingyue was taken aback. A newly hired employee?

A girl with that kind of looks actually works for her toxic, straight-male brother?!

So, what do you mean by "naughty little sister"? What did I do to upset you again?!

Looking at Su Lingyue's sullen face, Joanna was surprised, not expecting that Su Ping had a younger sister.

With outsiders around, Su Lingyue didn't dare ask Joanna about her salary. She just glared at Su Ping and gave him a look that said, "Wake up!"

With a face like that, what wouldn't she earn more money doing than working here? If all else fails, she could even stay home and do live streaming, which would be better than this. She didn't believe that this girl was purely after the salary Su Ping offered.
