Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 310 Semi-Mechanical Pet

The next day.

The final selection league has officially begun.

Su Ping has to go out today to take Su Lingyue to the finals, so he can only let Joanna act as the "acting store manager" for the time being. Of course, this is only a verbal authorization from him and has not been certified by the system.

Its only function is to open the door, greet customers who come to pick up their pets, return their pets, and also serve as a cashier for customers who come to breed pets.

After all, this is the kind of work a shop employee should do; it's just that Su Ping had been doing it all himself before.

Now that Joanna is here, it doesn't matter if Su Ping leaves the shop; the shop can still operate. However, if he wants to breed pets, he will have to personally open the breeding world. This is the core secret of the shop.

Driving the chariot, Su Ping soon delivered Su Lingyue to the main stadium in the upper city.

The main venue is located in the Tianwang District.

Just from the name, you can tell this district is not to be trifled with. Tianwang District is the economic link of Shangcheng District and the most prosperous area. It is the most economically prosperous area besides the First District, where the municipal government's high-ranking officials reside.

Land here is incredibly valuable, and the area is full of wealthy businessmen. A few quick shots could easily kill a whole bunch of rich people.

However, the area is heavily guarded and monitored, so riots are extremely rare.

Having secured the bid for the main venue, the economy of Tianwang District will see another significant boost.

Traffic jams were caused by a large number of cars on the streets of Tianwang District. It was always congested here. After all, the wealthy families all owned cars, and more than one. The ordinary people who worked and lived here were also middle-class and could easily buy a low-end car. Moreover, the lower their social status, the more they liked to drive.

Even if it's just to buy groceries 200 meters from home, I'd love to drive around for a bit.

Now that more athletes and spectators are heading here, traffic jams on the roads are even more severe, making them completely impassable.

"There are several times more people today than yesterday."

Su Ping drove his chariot along a less congested road, glancing at the line of cars stuck in traffic on the other side and shaking his head slightly.

"More than yesterday? You were here yesterday?" Su Lingyue asked in surprise from the passenger seat.

"I've been there."

Su Ping stepped on the gas, increasing the speed.

The vehicles were stuck in traffic on the side road; some people were angrily honking their horns, while others were sticking their heads out of their car windows to look around.

"Are you moving or not?!"

"Stop dawdling! Damn, which female driver stalled the car on flat ground again?!"

"Honey, why don't we take the side road? There are no cars there!"

"That's a special fast track for pioneers and big shots. If we ordinary vehicles go up there, we'll be kicked off immediately, and our driver's licenses will be permanently revoked."

"No way, why can the pioneers use it? They just kill a few monsters outside, what's the big deal?"

"Alright, let's wait a little longer."

……

Following the dedicated expressway, Su Ping soon arrived at the main stadium.

It must be said that, as expected of the main venue in the upper city, there is a huge area outside the venue, which is packed with people. In this area, there are many amusement facilities and some high-definition screens, so you can watch the live battles in the arena from outside the venue.

Su Lingyue thought she had seen a lot, but at this moment she suddenly became nervous.

Looking up, she saw a dense crowd of people. The thought that when she went on stage, all these people would see her fight and every detail and flaw would be exposed made her feel uneasy.

Seeing her like this, Su Ping didn't comfort her, but told her to adjust and adapt on her own.

"This way."

He led Su Lingyue to the contestant entrance, where there were fewer people.

The guard here is a high-level battle pet master. He is not old, but he exudes a strong and capable aura, and he looks like someone who is not to be trifled with.

After checking Su Lingyue's player ID, they let the two of them in.

"Do you know today's selection rules?" Su Ping asked as he walked through the contestants' passage.

Su Lingyue nodded, "First, we will select the top 1,000 contestants through a scoring test, and the remaining 400 contestants will be eliminated. Then, the real selection process will begin. The first match will be a contest, similar to the preliminary rounds."

Su Ping nodded; it seemed she had done some research.

"You need to pay attention to the scoring test before the competition," Su Ping said. "The only place the Liu family might try to cheat is here."

The scoring test is conducted without an audience; it is performed directly by professionals and instruments.

This makes it easy for shady dealings to occur.

Su Lingyue's eyes sharpened, realizing that in addition to the normal competition, she also had to be wary of other people's underhanded tactics.

"I understand, I'll be careful."

Su Ping glanced at her and nodded slightly. Before coming here, he had also given her the Soul Lamp Treasure he had obtained from the Dragon Scale Region, which could protect against mental attacks.

He has a better alternative and doesn't need this soul lamp anymore; he can keep it for her just in case.

……

In front of the contestants' passage is a testing room.

All contestants who enter through the contestant entrance will pass the test in this testing room.

They fought tooth and nail to get into the top 100 from the preliminary rounds, but in this testing room, if their score is outside the top 1,000, they will be eliminated and removed from the list.

Therefore, for most people, making it into the top 100 of their division is likely their last moment of glory.

"No unauthorized personnel allowed."

The guards in front of the testing room stopped Su Ping, their attitude firm.

Su Ping glanced at the testing room and pondered for a moment.

Su Lingyue seemed to see through Su Ping's plan and, not wanting him to get into trouble because of her, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll handle it myself!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and made a cute gesture.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow, it was rare to see this guy acting cute.

While feeling relieved, he also sensed a glimmer of hope...

"Okay, be careful, just use the dragon beasts," Su Ping said.

These words made the guard who stopped him raise an eyebrow.

Su Lingyue nodded.

"I'll wait for you here, we'll go into the arena together later." Su Ping said, then turned and left.

After watching Su Ping walk a distance away, Su Lingyue took a deep breath, turned around, and stepped into the testing room.

There was a passage leading underground, and the light was rather dim, which made Su Lingyue feel a little nervous.

Following the spiral passage to the bottom, she saw dozens of figures gathered in a brightly lit area. They were all very young, but four or five years older than her, generally in their early twenties.

"Are these all contestants?" Su Lingyue glanced around, already knowing who they were, and went to the back of the crowd.

These people were all queuing up. At one of the passageways, a powerful high-level pet master was guarding it. Every few moments, he seemed to receive a notification through his earpiece, allowing one person in front of him to enter.

Everyone was waiting, going in one by one to take the test.

Su Lingyue also joined the back row of the crowd.

boom!

Not long after, a tremor suddenly came from underground, which seemed to be an earthquake.

Many contestants were startled, and more than a dozen of them, with their sharp auras, immediately had star shields and energy armor appear on their bodies.

The guards at the entrance also changed their expressions slightly, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

"Is this... a test?"

"Such a loud commotion, my god, even the shock absorption of the testing barrier couldn't reduce it?"

"Who's being tested inside?"

"A monster, isn't it..."

"They seem to be... from the Qin family?"

Many contestants were whispering among themselves, all somewhat surprised.

Su Lingyue's expression changed slightly as she stood in the crowd, feeling the pressure. After all, she had been recommended by Su Ping with the goal of winning the championship, and strictly speaking, everyone here was her opponent.

But for some reason, she felt like a lamb among wolves, with everyone around her on a higher level than her.

"I'm fierce, very fierce..." Su Lingyue encouraged herself.

"Little sister, what did you say?" A burly young man next to him looked over.

Su Lingyue was startled and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, I didn't say anything."

Before long, the people in front of her finished their tests one by one, and it was Su Lingyue's turn. At this moment, there were dozens of other contestants queuing up behind her.

"Go in." After looking at Su Lingyue's player ID, a guard said calmly.

Su Lingyue mustered her courage and entered the passage, arriving at the end, where she found herself in an underground battle arena.

Outside the battle arena is a barrier, surrounded by thick cables. There are a dozen staff members and complex instruments outside the barrier, and in the arena, there is a semi-mechanical battle pet.

Mechanized battle pets are a concept proposed by the Federation long ago. Compared with the original method of raising battle pets, mechanized battle pets can greatly increase the strength of battle pets in a short period of time, and can ignore bloodlines.

However, for some reason, the mechanization of battle pets did not become widespread and was later only used for military purposes and some special experiments.

At this moment, this semi-mechanical battle pet has sophisticated mechanical instruments inside its body that can calculate its own attack speed, the attack force it can withstand, and the energy concentration of its opponent, etc.

With the help of the instruments beside it, this semi-mechanical battle pet can collect a lot of data about the opponent quite accurately.

In some interstellar explorations, fully mechanical battle pets are also used. These are essentially mechanical soldiers, specifically designed for scouting in dangerous areas.

Su Lingyue was quite surprised to see a semi-mechanized battle pet for the first time. She had read about it in textbooks, but it was far removed from her daily life, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Go in, summon your pet, and hold out for one minute. You can concede early if you want, but that will disqualify you from the competition," said a middle-aged man in a black suit and top hat.

A blue, shimmering light channel slightly opened within the barrier on the battlefield.

Su Lingyue took a deep breath and stepped into the battlefield.

Without hesitation, she immediately summoned the Silverfrost Star Moon Dragon and the Illusion Flame Beast.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Silver Frost Star Moon Dragon, the surrounding staff were all taken aback, but then they knew that the young girl had basically secured her victory.

"start!"

As the person next to him announced, all the energy infusion tubes on the semi-mechanical battle pet were released. It was a seventh-tier Flame Lightning Tiger, a rare dual-attribute pet, and one of the more powerful types among seventh-tier pets.

Seeing its actions, Su Lingyue showed no mercy and directly ordered the Silver Frost Star Moon Dragon to attack.

The battle ended ten seconds later.

It wasn't that Su Lingyue surrendered, but rather that people outside the arena called a stop in time.

Just kidding, if we don't stop this expensively modified semi-mechanical battle pet soon, it'll be scrapped.
