Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 298 Top Five Spots

Seeing the Aurora Fox restored to its original form, Sun Qiu was somewhat shocked. He knew better than anyone why the dark spots on the Aurora Fox's body were caused—it was due to an unresolved toxin infection with no antidote. Yet now… in less than a quarter of an hour, it was all healed?!

What kind of healing technique is this?!

He was both shocked and terrified, but he knew that if he confessed the truth, he would only suffer an even worse death.

"Boss Su, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I accidentally injured it, and I couldn't find a cure anywhere. I was desperate, so I came here..." Sun Qiu trembled, his fierce expression suddenly turning into tears as he pleaded.

Su Ping squinted and stared at him.

"Is that so?"

When Sun Qiu saw Su Ping's eyes, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. However, considering the large number of people around and the fact that he had already pleaded so tactfully, he knew Su Ping wouldn't dare to kill him in public.

After all, if we actually did that, the impact would be too terrible.

"It's all my fault, Boss Su. You're so kind. Thank you for healing my pet. From now on, I'm willing to serve you like a slave..." Sun Qiu continued to plead, his face full of sincere remorse.

Those around who witnessed this scene understood what had happened and felt some disdain for Sun Qiu, but their disgust had greatly diminished, since he had already repented and apologized.

Su Ping gave him a deep look, the coldness on his face dissipating, and said calmly, "So you want to be my slave? Then, to make up for your remorse, work for me in my shop for a whole day today, and we'll call it even. Just don't do anything like this again. A person should have morals!"

Sun Qiu was taken aback, not expecting Su Ping to let him off so easily.

So they're afraid of being punished in public, as the consequences would be too severe?

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded gratefully.

Everyone around who heard Su Ping's words praised him, saying that Su Ping was magnanimous.

Su Ping called over Tang Ruyan, who was watching the show from the side, and said, "He's in your charge now. Teach him how to greet customers."

Tang Ruyan was stunned. She hadn't expected this guy to be so easy to talk to, which made her feel a little unreal.

However, with so many people around, she didn't say anything. She nodded and glanced at Sun Qiu, who almost prevented her from escaping. She disliked him intensely and said indifferently, "Come with me. You're in charge of maintaining order, and I'll greet you at the door."

Sun Qiu saw that she was beautiful and her eyes were bright. It was a pleasure to work with such a beauty. If it weren't for the fact that they were in Su Ping's shop, he would feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Even if he were with this beauty every day, he wouldn't get tired of it.

This interlude passed quickly.

Su Ping continued registering customers and later encountered Ye Hao and Su Yanying, both of whom had successfully entered the top 100 of their respective divisions.

Ye Hao chose the no-gun zone, while Su Yanying chose the Crescent Zone. Su Ping saw her when the district head was awarding the prize, but since they were far apart, he didn't go over to say hello or exchange pleasantries.

Su Ping had been following their battle online. After all, they were the top ten students recommended by the store, so he had to keep an eye on them, fearing that the store competition might drag them down.

However, judging from the current situation, the Liu family doesn't seem to care about them.

It remains to be seen whether the subsequent finals will throw obstacles in their way.

However, even if they want to trip them up, the Liu family will have to pay a considerable price. Su Ping estimated that their combat strength is among the top ten. If the Liu family really wants to send someone to block them, they will have to send the core members of the family. And those core members also have their own honors to compete for, and they may not be willing to take the lead and act as a stepping stone.

After congratulating the two, Su Ping encountered a familiar face among the customers behind him. It was Xu Kuang, whom he had tutored before.

"Teacher Su, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

Once the people in front of him had left, Xu Kuang excitedly darted to the counter and said to Su Ping.

Su Ping had some impression of him, and upon hearing his enthusiastic words, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you Feng Gong? Just call me Boss Su."

"No, you are my teacher. Once a teacher, always a teacher!" Xu Kuang immediately shook his head, his face full of determination and resolve.

Su Ping rolled his eyes. Was this guy planning to extort him by being shameless?

"Alright, what are you here to train this time?" Su Ping was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, he didn't admit that he had such a stupid student.

Xu Kuang felt a little resentful that Su Ping immediately brought up business, but he still obediently said, "Teacher Su, I was late returning from the wasteland when your shop opened last time and missed it. I heard that your shop offers a service that guarantees admission to the top ten. Do you still have any spots left? I'd like one, preferably in the top five!"

Su Ping glanced at him. "There are still top ten spots, and as for the top five... if you really want them, that's not impossible, but the cost will be different."

Xu Kuang immediately patted his chest and said, "Teacher Su, do I look like someone who's short of money?"

Su Ping glanced at him and smiled slightly. "You're not short of money, huh? That's great. You're guaranteed admission to the top five, right? That starts at 50 million, and could potentially cost around 80 million later."

Xu Kuang was stunned, and said in astonishment, "Teacher Su, even the champion who got in through the guaranteed admission program only got 100 million, I... I was only in the top five!"

"What's the difference between the champion and the top five?" Su Ping asked rhetorically.

Xu Kuang stared wide-eyed.

The next moment, he was filled with admiration. As expected of a genius-level titled expert, look at how he put on such a show, so understated yet so impactful!

"As expected of Teacher Su!" Xu Kuang gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

Su Ping said calmly, "Aren't you flush with cash? Can you afford it?"

Xu Kuang immediately replied, "Of course I can afford it. The reason I came back late from the wasteland this time was specifically to earn money. My sister and I hunted a lot of monsters and made quite a bit of money!"

"Oh, that's good." Su Ping nodded, also pleased.

The lambs finally learned to fatten themselves up.

"Then let's pay the money. As for the pets..."

Just as Su Ping was about to give a brief explanation, Xu Kuang interrupted him, waving his hand confidently and saying, "Teacher Su, the pets you raise here are beyond my control! I trust others, but I trust you, Teacher Su, 100%. What are a few tens of millions to you? It's nothing, right?"

Su Ping clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking, "This guy's pretty savvy."

"You... have great potential," Su Ping said earnestly after thinking for a while.

Xu Kuang's eyes lit up.

Was my talent ultimately exposed?

He grinned and said, "Teacher Su, you flatter me. I'm still far from being as good as you."

Su Ping chuckled and said no more, lest this guy praise him to the skies and make him get carried away.

After receiving the money and acquiring the pet, Su Ping had Tang Ruyan escort him away.

Two hours later, the store's storage space was full again, and Su Ping could only regretfully say once more that the store would have to close for the day.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. When the customers heard Su Ping's words, they let out a wail, but after the wail, they all turned around and left the store. They were too exhausted to complain or grumble anymore, and they had all gotten used to the bizarre rules of Su Ping's store.

After seeing off all the customers, Su Ping also retrieved the Hellfire Dragon Beast from the entrance.

"Boss Su, I'll be going now."

Seeing that most of the customers had left, Sun Qiu, who was in charge of serving them, came over and said with a respectful smile.

Su Ping watched the customers leave until they were all gone, then glanced at him, smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "No rush."

After saying that, he went forward and closed the shop door.

Sun Qiu, who had been all smiles just moments before, instantly lost his smile and turned to fear the moment the shop door closed. But when Su Ping turned around and walked over, he still forced a smile and said, "Boss Su, what do you mean by this?"

Su Ping sat down on the sofa in the rest area, stretched, and said calmly, "Now that no one's around, you can honestly tell me who sent you. Don't force me to use torture."
