Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 27 Second-Level Pregnancy [Thanks to 'Qtso-Xiaoxiong' for the Alliance Leader award]

The little skeleton and the moon-chasing dog woke up and were completely bewildered to find their home occupied.

Su Ping glanced at the Moon Chaser Dog. It was a pet that someone had previously boarded up here. The boarding period was ending tomorrow, and the owner would come to pick it up.

The fees previously paid by the other party were for ordinary foster care, and now they have to step down and give way to a more capable person.

"All pets served by customers in this store must stay in boarding spaces and cannot be left idle. Please purchase another boarding space immediately to accommodate the Moon Chaser," the system suddenly said, its voice slightly serious.

Su Ping was taken aback. "But the other party came before, just for ordinary foster care."

"How can someone who owns a pet shop not have any love or care for their pets?"

"...Since you're so kind, why don't you give me a few for free?"

"...Attention, this is a warning for swearing!"

"When did I swear? I...!"

"Warning: This is the second time you've been warned for swearing!"

"...!"

Su Ping calmed down instantly.

Inhale, exhale...

Su Ping had come to terms with it. It was just a matter of 10 energy points. With his current reserves, he could afford it. Besides, the Moon Chaser would be taken away tomorrow, so it wouldn't take up much time. When he got new business, he would have to add another fostering spot sooner or later.

"Consider today's 1 point energy maintenance fee paid out of my own pocket."

Su Ping sighed, saying that the fostering business of the Moon Chaser Dog would only earn him about 100 yuan, which was equivalent to taking care of someone else for free.

Fortunately, this kind of thing won't happen again.

If you choose to purchase, another foster space will soon appear out of thin air.

"Go ahead." Su Ping let the panting Moon Chaser crawl inside.

Little Skeleton: "??"

Su Ping squatted down and touched the little skull that was standing blankly to the side. He accidentally used a little force and broke off its head.

Su Ping felt a little embarrassed and quickly helped the little head back into place.

Seeing the skeleton in place, Su Ping breathed a slight sigh of relief. The little skeleton was his own pet, so it didn't need to stay in the foster care area, and the system didn't require that either.

"I'll buy you a foster home later if we have any extra energy," Su Ping said to the little skeleton.

Since it's our own, we can't let it suffer; we have to enjoy it too.

The little skeleton seemed to understand and nodded blankly.

Su Ping smiled slightly, turned around and went to the rest room. He glanced at his remaining energy. He had earned more than 300 today, and with the previous amount, he had a total of more than 400 energy, which was quite a lot.

"Upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool," Su Ping said.

The energy above was immediately reduced by one hundred.

At the same time, the dark, well-like chaotic spirit pool in front of Su Ping suddenly emitted a burst of brilliant light from its dim edge. When the light disappeared, some strange lines appeared on the edge of the spirit pool, like some kind of ancient runes.

"It's been upgraded to level two."

Su Ping was somewhat delighted. A level-two spirit pool can guide one ten-millionth of the chaotic energy, which can at most nurture a pet beast with a high bloodline!

It's important to know that each high-bloodline pet can fetch at least hundreds of thousands of dollars on the market, with the best ones worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!

Although pet shops cannot sell pets at the moment, Su Ping can breed them himself and then rent them out, which is also a considerable source of income!

"Is she pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Pregnancy fee: 100 energy points. Please confirm."

"..."

Su Ping didn't expect that after the Spirit Pool was upgraded, the cost of gestation would also increase tenfold. As a result, he only had enough energy left to gestate three times!

After hesitating for a moment, Su Ping gritted his teeth and chose to confirm.

"The Chaos Spirit Pool is activated..."

A faint light rippled in the dry well-like spirit pool, and starlight seemed to gather at its bottom.

A moment later, the spirit pool returned to its original state, completely silent.

"Pregnancy failed." The words appeared on the spirit pool.

Su Ping looked completely bewildered.

failure?

Can conception fail?

"When chaotic energy is used to construct life, there is a low probability that a fabrication error will occur, preventing the formation of a life form," the system explained.

Su Ping was dumbfounded. So, his 100 energy points were gone just like that?

"Is it conceived?" The words appeared again on the spirit pool.

Su Ping came to his senses, his eyes slightly red. That was 100 energy points, equivalent to 10,000 yuan, and it was gone just like that!

"Try again!" Su Ping gritted his teeth, determined.

After the energy was injected, the Chaos Spirit Pool once again shone brightly. Just as the light was about to disappear, Su Ping opened his eyes wide and looked over.

A milky white egg floated quietly above the spirit pool.

"!!"

Su Ping was stunned. This thing could actually produce an egg?

His identification skills were ineffective against this egg; he couldn't discern anything from it.

"Please collect."

Su Ping, looking completely bewildered, took out the enormous egg. It was warm to the touch, and he suddenly thought of frying an egg, feeling a bit hungry.

"What kind of egg is this, and how do I hatch it?" Su Ping couldn't help but ask the system.

"Please resolve this yourself, host." The system shifted the blame.

Su Ping's lips twitched. He could identify pets, but identifying eggs... Did he expect him to pay out of his own pocket to have an expert from a pet identification center identify them?

After thinking it over, Su Ping gave up the idea. He didn't have that much money. It wouldn't be cheap to have an expert appraise it. He decided to search for information about various pet eggs online first. Maybe he would find one himself?

He carried the egg to the single bed next to him, which was used for a temporary rest at noon while he was minding the shop. He placed the egg next to his pillow and then covered it with a blanket to keep it warm.

After doing all this, Su Ping turned around and glanced at the Chaotic Spirit Pool. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up trying to continue.

He only had a little over 100 energy points left.

Next, he needs to complete the main storyline training tasks, unlock training dimensions, and purchase death attempts, all of which consume energy, so he needs to save some.

Thinking of the cultivation task, Su Ping recalled the system's gift of one cultivation dimension and unlimited death attempts when he completed the task of restoring the store's reputation!

"This is a good opportunity to do the main quest and training quests."

Su Ping was secretly delighted. He left the lounge and saw the Thunder Rat hiding behind the counter. He smiled and waved, "Come on, come here."

The Thunder Rat was so frightened that its fur stood on end. It even used its "Thunder Coat" skill, its fur becoming like steel needles and crackling with electricity. It snarled at Su Ping with a face full of hostility.

Seemingly sensing the hostility emanating from the Thunder Rat, the little skeleton behind Su Ping suddenly stumbled and ran to Su Ping's front.

It clenched its fists, adopting a defensive stance like a fighter, staring blankly at the Thunder Rat, the crimson color in the black hole intensifying.

Su Ping was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this little thing would protect itself on its own.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback when he sensed the tension, anxiety, and a hint of ferocity emanating from its consciousness.

After a moment of silence, Su Ping slowly picked up the little skeleton, walked to the door, and pulled down the roller shutter.

The lights in the store dimmed instantly.

Su Ping returned to the counter and brought up the nurturing interface.

"System, can I bring both of them into one breeding interface at the same time?" Su Ping asked.

"The host can only bring pets with signed contracts into the breeding plane. If the host wants to bring customers' pets to the breeding plane, please purchase a temporary contract first," the system replied.

"A temporary contract?"

The shop interface immediately popped up in front of Su Ping's eyes. The "Awakening Liquid" item was gone, replaced by a roll of golden paper that read "Temporary Contract" and cost 10 energy points.
