Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 338 Spirit Awakening Illustrated Guide

Seeing Su Ping's impartial and incorruptible demeanor, Xu Kuang dared not suggest cutting in line and had no choice but to obediently go to the back of the queue.

After Xu Kuang left, Su Ping continued to serve the other customers.

Before long, with Joanna's prompting, Su Ping realized that the pet slots were full again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the seats are full. I apologize."

Su Ping had no choice but to apologize to the customers queuing behind her.

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, the people in line immediately let out a sigh of despair, especially the person at the very front of the line who was about to be called, who wailed in regret.

Su Ping felt a little embarrassed, since he had made people wait for nothing. He thought that he would make a sign later and write down the number of customers he could serve each day. That way, when customers came and saw that the queue exceeded the number of customers he could serve, they would leave on their own and would not waste their time here.

As Su Ping was thinking, Xu Kuang, who was standing at the back of the line, ran over. After the people around him dispersed a bit, he leaned over the counter and whispered, "Master, did you save a seat for me?"

Su Ping said, "No."

Xu Kuang was stunned, and immediately wailed, "Master, I'm your own disciple! How can you treat everyone the same?!"

Su Ping glanced at him. He couldn't do anything about it. Under the system's rules, guests were welcome, and he couldn't be picky. Otherwise, he could have set up rules to give priority to those who provided professional training services. That way, he wouldn't miss out on some big clients because the seats were full.

"I told you, you're not my apprentice. No matter how many times I call you, it won't work."

"Master...you're so heartless!"

Su Ping ignored him. Just then, some exclamations came from the crowd that was about to disperse. Su Ping looked up and saw that some customers who were about to leave had gathered in front of the large LCD TV in the store.

The television is currently broadcasting the league matches in the stadium. Today's matches are from the other five groups, and it seems that the games have already begun.

The large LCD TV was only installed yesterday. Su Ping secretly admired his mother's efficiency; she got everything done in one day!

"It's the battle of the last five groups."

Xu Kuang also turned his head and saw it. A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He immediately walked over and stood behind the crowd to watch.

Su Ping glanced at the league live stream, but wasn't interested. Since there was no one at the counter, he plopped down on the soft chair behind it, silently reciting the system's instructions and asking about the incident where Qin Shaotian had interrupted him earlier.

The system seemed to have great patience in this regard, and directly continued Su Ping's conversation.

Strengthen, awaken!

This is a skill that junior trainers must master!

The reinforcement is divided into more detailed categories, with different aspects of reinforcement that must be mastered!

As for "spiritual awakening," it means to enlighten the spiritual nature of a pet. According to the system, even an ordinary spiritual herb can evolve into a first-tier demon beast under the spiritual awakening of a cultivator, which is considered a successful spiritual awakening!

If it is a demon beast, after it has been awakened, it will have a certain probability of comprehending a talent!

This wasn't the first time Su Ping had heard the word "talent." He recalled that not long ago, when Qin Shuhai gave him the invitation to the King's League, he mentioned something called a Talent Stone, which was one of the prizes of the King's League.

"System, what is talent? I remember when we upgraded the fostering slot, you also mentioned that the spiritual energy in the fostering slot has a certain probability of allowing the pet to learn a talent?"

Su Ping wondered to himself.

"That's right. The higher the level of the fostering slot, the denser the spiritual energy. Spiritual energy can enhance the pet's intelligence. With prolonged immersion, the pet has a chance to comprehend a talent, but this probability is low. In the current medium-level fostering slot, the probability of comprehending a talent after a month of immersion is... 0.005%!"

Su Ping was speechless.

Even after being immersed in a medium-sized foster care facility for a month, is this the only chance?

"Talent is a unique ability with different magical effects. Talents also vary in strength. Strong talents can increase a certain attribute tenfold in a short period of time, while weak talents only serve auxiliary functions such as perception and disguise. If one's comprehension is high enough, one can comprehend multiple talents, and these talent abilities can be used in combination!"

The system said calmly.

Su Ping's eyes widened in surprise.

A strong talent can increase a certain attribute tenfold?!

He even suspected that the system might have made a mistake. What did "increase tenfold" mean? If it meant increasing strength, wouldn't that mean he could instantly smash an evenly matched opponent into bubbles with a single punch?!

"System, you're not kidding me, are you?"

System: (#￣～￣#)

The image of a disgruntled face popped into Su Ping's mind. It was clearly displayed by the system. He was somewhat taken aback. When did this thing start using emoticons to communicate?

After mentally grumbling for a moment, Su Ping calmed himself down and stopped doubting the system. He knew that the system was quite rigorous when it came to matters concerning pets.

"This talent is so amazing. No wonder the little skeletons have fought for so long and died countless times, but none of them have been able to comprehend it. It seems that this thing is hard to be forced out by death alone."

Su Ping thought to himself.

The more difficult it is to accomplish, the more powerful it is.

"System, how can I learn to awaken my spirit?" Su Ping asked immediately.

There are three methods.

The system said, "First, purchase the Spirit Awakening Compendium from the shop."

"Second, find someone to apprentice under and learn from."

Third, learn it on your own.

"..."

Su Ping was speechless. Find someone to apprentice under? How many people could understand such a skill? And even if someone did, it would be a miracle if they could teach him.

Speaking of which, isn't this a skill that only a novice cultivator possesses? Why does he suddenly feel like he's never seen it before on the entire Blue Star?

"..."

Thinking about the system's perspective settings, Su Ping suddenly felt heartbroken again.

Could the junior trainers this guy is talking about be ranked according to some peak period?

This is ridiculous... why did they have to set the starting point so high for me?!

Tears welled up in his eyes.

It feels like skipping all the introductory and basic levels without a textbook and going straight to the master level. This is a hundred times harder than cultivating step by step!

However, of the three methods mentioned by the system, Su Ping felt that the only one he could rely on at the moment was the first one.

However, he always had a feeling that he was being targeted by unscrupulous businessmen.

With a thought, Su Ping brought up the system shop.

After the shop is upgraded to LV3, the store will automatically reach LV3 level as well.

It's rare to see basic beast-catching rings anymore; most of them are intermediate-level, and occasionally you can even see advanced-level ones!

Su Ping buys these high-grade beast-catching rings every time he sees them. Although they cost 100,000 energy points, which is 100 times the price of a mid-grade beast-catching ring, their effects are amazing.

The probability of capturing a Tier 9 battle pet is 100%!

The probability of capturing a King Beast is 10%!

As long as you throw it out, you're guaranteed to catch a monster below the King level!

If we encounter a moment of destiny, we can even catch a king beast!

Imagine, with 100,000 energy, or 10 million star coins, there's a 10% chance of capturing a king beast. That's incredibly profitable!

Normally, with a one in ten success rate, it would take one hundred million Star Coins to exchange for a King Beast.

However, under normal circumstances, you might not win even once out of ten attempts. With a 90% failure rate, you might not win even once out of ninety attempts!

But no matter what, it's always good to hoard them. Even if you don't catch king beasts, catching peak ninth-tier demon beasts is still profitable!

After the shop was upgraded, Su Ping would check it at least once a day, since it refreshed automatically every 24 hours. However, during this time, he never saw anything like the Spirit Opening Manual appear in the shop.

"System, what does this Spirit Awakening Encyclopedia look like?"

"You'll recognize it when you see it," the system said coldly.

Su Ping remained silent.

He glanced at the refresh notification below and sighed inwardly. Now he had no choice but to start the journey of spending money to refresh again.

Otherwise, relying solely on the automatic refresh every 24 hours, who knows how long it would take to encounter this "Enlightenment Compendium"?

Now that the shop has a good income, Su Ping doesn't feel so bad about refreshing the shop anymore. He refreshed it five times in a row, and once he encountered a high-level beast-catching ring, he bought it directly.

Su Ping also bought the two medium-grade animal traps. Regardless of the grade of the animal trap, they are all consumables, and you can't lose money no matter how you use them.

In addition, there are some rare materials, but Su Ping has no use for them. Of course, it's just that he doesn't need them right now, but he couldn't bear to buy them because they were too expensive. Energy should be used where it's most needed. Although his shop is doing well right now, he still needs to save it for upgrading the shop and the Chaos Spirit Pool. Moreover, nurturing pets in the Chaos Spirit Pool costs one million energy each time, which is a huge expense.

After five refreshes, the energy consumed by refreshing increased to several thousand, which was beyond Su Ping's tolerance, so he had to give up today.

"System, is there anything that can increase my luck?" Su Ping asked gloomily after closing the shop.

The system said indifferently, "Fate touches upon the Heavenly Dao, and nothing can influence it. The only way is..."

"What is it?"

"pray."

"..."

Su Ping felt like he was about to split open.

Since cultivating to the Spirit Awakening stage could only be done through the system shop, Su Ping turned his attention to enhancement, wondering, "Are there only these three methods for learning enhancement?"

"That's right."

Su Ping sighed inwardly. He had refreshed the page five times but hadn't gotten any skill books or similar items, which showed that the probability of such items appearing was extremely low.

Does this mean that I really have to figure it out myself?

He gritted his teeth and secretly resolved to fight back.

So what if I figured it out myself? With my looks, I can't possibly fail to learn an enhancement skill?!

With that in mind, he decided to try cultivating the world today.

At that moment, a chorus of exclamations came from outside.

Su Ping's thoughts returned from communicating with the system to the store. He looked up and saw that the message came from the customers watching the live broadcast on TV. He moved his gaze upward and saw two ninth-tier battle pets on the TV screen, but they had just entered adulthood and were only at the seventh tier.

Shaking his head, Su Ping withdrew his gaze.

He tapped his pen on the counter as he pondered how to train his battle pets in a targeted manner.

Lost in thought, I lost track of time and didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly a figure ran up and called out, "Master!"

Su Ping frowned, pulling himself out of his reverie. He glanced at him, then out of the corner of his eye looked behind him and noticed that half the number of customers watching the live TV broadcast had disappeared. There were still people competing on TV, but the battle pets they were using weren't very strong.

"Master, Ye Hao and Su Yanying were also among the top ten students recommended by your shop, right?" Xu Kuang asked.

Seeing his serious expression, Su Ping nodded and said, "That's right."

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Kuang's face immediately showed a troubled expression. He said, "I still want to teach that brat Ye Hao a lesson... Master, do you have any other way to improve my battle pet's strength?"

"The slots are full today. Come early tomorrow and I'll train you," Su Ping said.

Xu Kuang smiled wryly, "Master, tomorrow is the challenge to reach the top ten. If we continue training tomorrow, it will be too late. Besides, I just discovered that the guys in the top ten are all quite strong. I also need to avoid that kid Ye Hao and that girl named Su Yanying. Now I can only find someone else."

"Among the top ten, besides my master, there's that monster Qin Shaotian, the person I lost to yesterday, and that guy from the Mu family is not to be trifled with either..."

He had just finished watching several battles and found that those who could make it into the top ten were all quite formidable.

If he can only make it into the top ten, he still has a chance.

But to get into the top five...

This means that his performance in the top ten must also be strong enough!

Su Ping was stunned when he heard Xu Kuang's words. He then realized that he had overlooked Xu Kuang. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized that Xu Kuang's situation was indeed a bit dangerous.

Making it into the top ten shouldn't be a problem, but the guarantee he gave Xu Kuang was a top-five finish. Considering the performance of other players in the current competition, this seems a bit risky.

Xu Kuang arrived late, had fewer experience in training his pets, and lacked divine power, so he couldn't unleash his divine transformation techniques. If he had bad luck in the top ten battles and encountered Su Lingyue or Qin Shaotian in the battle group, or other tough opponents in the loser's group, he would be kicked out of the top five.

"It seems... to be quite difficult." Su Ping frowned slightly.

He had just estimated that with Xu Kuang's combat strength, making it into the top ten wouldn't be a problem, and making it into the top five would also be somewhat possible. Of course, the premise was that he would take over command of the battle, but that was obviously impossible. Moreover, with Xu Kuang's combat command and reaction, he was clearly not good enough in such a top ten competition, which was the easiest place to mess things up.

Moreover, if you encounter strong opponents one after another, it's basically impossible to enter the top five. Luck is also crucial, just like Liu Jianxin, who clearly has the combat power of a top ten player but is still not in the top ten.

Seeing Su Ping frown, Xu Kuang realized that things were getting a bit tricky, and quickly said, "Forget it, Master, don't make things difficult for me. I was just saying it casually. Anyway, I've already made a name for myself by getting into the top ten, and I'm content."

Su Ping snapped out of his daze, glanced at him, shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You're right. It's good that you reminded me, otherwise my shop's reputation might really have been damaged."

"Huh?"

"It's too late to breed them, how about renting them out?" Su Ping asked.

"Rent?"

Xu Kuang was stunned and asked in confusion, "Master, do you rent pets in your shop? I've never heard of that before."

"Now you've heard."
