Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 421 The Future Center of Longjiang

Qin Shaotian and the others already knew about what had happened at the Little Rascal shop. As the young master of the Qin family, Qin Shaotian knew far more about the matter than Ye Hao and the others beside him.

A legend is in charge!

Slay two thousand battle pet masters of the Tang family!

Either way, it would be a shocking story if it got out.

This is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and is something that the five major families can not afford to offend.

Looking at the boy who was a few years younger than himself, Qin Shaotian had a complicated expression, but his determination to work hard and become stronger became even stronger. This league in Longjiang had greatly stimulated and dealt him a heavy blow.

Whether it was Su Lingyue who appeared first, or Yan Bingyue who appeared later, they could easily defeat him and crush his pride.

The boy in front of him was so terrifying that he almost couldn't even muster the will to chase after him.

The gap is too big!

Beside her, Mu Shuangwan's eyes were filled with fear and tension.

She had previously sat down with this young man to discuss the endorsement contract, but now, even the patriarch of the Mu family had to stand before him and wasn't even entitled to sit. In the end, she breached the contract. Although she paid compensation and it was a relatively amicable parting, the fact remains that she abandoned the store during a time of crisis.

She only hoped that Su Ping would be lenient and not bother with someone as insignificant as her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have enough lives to compensate for it.

As for the president behind her, who pressured her to terminate her contract, he had already been dismissed from his position by the family. He went from being a prominent figure in the inner circle to a nobody with no official position, and was even confined to his home and unable to go out at will.

All of this demonstrates just how terrifying this young man is.

She was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, if she had persisted, her Mu family could have used her connection to get close to Su Ping. She might even have become a meritorious member of the Mu family, and her lineage would have benefited from her, receiving the family's attention and preferential treatment.

As a result, due to a single wrong decision, she was brought here and left to Su Ping's disposal. Even her lineage was no longer welcome in the family and was marginalized.

Ye Hao and Zhou Chuan, standing nearby, dared not even breathe, terrified by the solemn and terrifying scene before them.

They had never seen so many big shots gathered together.

They were all titled experts, and all were patriarchs of various families.

Normally, even if they wanted to pay their respects to their clan leader, they would find it difficult to do so, since they were not among the most favored members of the direct line.

They were brought here because the family investigation found that they had contact with Su Ping's shop, but they never expected to see such a suffocating scene.

Liu Tianzong, accompanied by an elder, Liu Jianxin, and Liu Yuan, stood to the side, all with their hands at their sides, not daring to look directly at the young man.

When Liu Tianzong saw Jie Gange and several elders of the Tang family present, his face turned extremely ugly. He was especially terrified when he saw them standing by, looking at Su Ping with great fear. He had heard from his own family elders that there was a legendary figure guarding the shop, but who would have thought that something like this would happen?

After learning the news, Liu Tianzong finally understood why he had not received a response despite repeatedly inquiring about the shop from the municipal government.

It turns out that the mayor knew how terrifying this store was all along!

Faced with the choice between Legend and the Liu family, the other party chose Legend without hesitation.

They didn't even dare to easily leak information about this store, lest they be held accountable by the store's legend!

He was filled with regret. If he had known it was a legend, he would never have dared to compete with this shop for business, even if he had a hundred lives.

At this moment, he was on the verge of despair and collapse, and could only place his hopes on the boy's kindness.

At this moment, Su Ping finished looking through the Starry Sky Organization's treasure vault, selected a few treasures from it, and handed them to Xie Gange, asking, "Can they be delivered tomorrow?"

Xie Gange took a look, suppressed his heartache, took a deep breath, and said, "It's okay!"

"it is good."

Su Ping nodded.

He then looked at the patriarchs of the five major families present, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Previously, when they were invited, only clan elders were sent; now, without being summoned, they have all come in person.

Sure enough, without power, one will not be valued; words spoken are like farts.

"So it's the heads of the five clans. What brings you here?" Su Ping asked knowingly.

Qin Duhuang, having seen many big occasions, maintained his smile and said, "Boss Su, I was unwell last time and couldn't attend your invitation. I've come here specifically to apologize."

He was very direct, without making any excuses, and immediately apologized.

As he spoke, he took out a gift and handed it to Su Ping.

Su Ping glanced at the gift box, but didn't take it. Instead, he gave Tang Ruyan a wink.

Tang Ruyan understood and stepped forward to take it.

Qin Duhuang glanced at the girl and knew that she was the fake young master who had attracted the Tang family army to come in a panic. It was this girl who caused the Tang family to lose a full two thousand battle pet masters in Suping's shop. Not to mention the Tang family, even he felt a pang of heartache when he heard such a number.

The entire Longjiang base city may not be able to gather two thousand battle pet masters.

As a result, he was shot dead in Su Ping's shop.

The Tang family must be so angry they'd vomit blood!

"There's no need for apologies. I understand you're not feeling well. As I mentioned before, I need some things, and I hope you can help me find them. I, Su Ping, won't let you all work for nothing. Whoever can find them, I will give you all the treasures I've acquired," Su Ping said calmly.

While these treasures might be somewhat useful to him, Su Ping valued his own strength more than they did.

If he could reach the second level of the Golden Crow Divine Demon Body earlier, his physical strength would be comparable to that of a legend. Only then would he be truly powerful and even be able to roam the world!

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, the expressions of the Tang family elders and Xie Gange changed slightly, showing both embarrassment and apprehension.

Judging from Su Ping's words, he didn't seem to value the secret treasure he obtained from them particularly much, which could only mean that Su Ping had something better.

Moreover, they did not expect Su Ping to value those materials so much that he was willing to exchange so many top-tier treasures for them.

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, Qin Duhuang and the other clan leaders were slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

They were all shrewd people, and they immediately realized that Su Ping was a pragmatic person.

It didn't matter if I offended Su Ping in the past, or if we had a minor disagreement, but Su Ping urgently needs those materials now. If I can find them for him, it will definitely bring us closer.

This is a rare opportunity!

"Don't worry, Mr. Su, my Mu family will do everything in our power to find what you need," said Mu Beihai, the head of the Mu family, respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped.

It was no easy feat to get the dignified head of a clan to use the honorific "you" (您).

Seeing how willing he was to lower himself, Qin Duhuang couldn't help but look at him with new respect.

The two members of the Zhou and Ye families also changed their expressions slightly and immediately followed suit.

After the five major families had each expressed their opinions, Su Ping looked at the Liu family and asked directly, "Does the Liu family have anything to say?"

Everyone looked at the Liu family.

Several elders of the Tang family, as well as Xie Gange, also looked over. After suffering a defeat at Su Ping's shop last time, they mobilized their forces to infiltrate Longjiang and inquire about Su Ping's shop through other channels, gathering information.

From this, we also learned about the feud between the Liu family and Su Ping's shop.

They all found the Liu family somewhat amusing.

For a local family from Heilongjiang to provoke a legend in their own base city is like steaming shrimp in a steamer—it's utterly absurd!

Feeling the gaze of Su Ping and the many eyes around him, cold sweat poured down Liu Tianzong's forehead. He felt immense pressure, and his body involuntarily tensed up. Under the tension, his throat tightened, and his voice became slightly tense and trembling.

"Mr. Su, I was blind to your greatness before. My Liu family is willing to compensate you with half of our assets to appease your anger. I have also investigated this matter thoroughly. This is the manager of our Liu family's Extraordinary Pet Shop. I brought him here specifically for Mr. Su to deal with as he sees fit."

As Liu Tianzong spoke, he pulled Liu Yuan, who was standing next to him, in front of Su Ping.

Liu Yuan's body trembled, and his face was ashen.

Since Liu Jianxin failed to make it into the top ten of the league, Extraordinary Pet Shop has suffered a significant blow.

His status also declined.

Then his career plummeted, until five days ago when all his positions were suddenly revoked and he was taken to his family home and imprisoned.

His lineage, in particular, was kept under strict surveillance by the family.

Such a display of force, resembling a purge, made everyone in his faction feel insecure.

It wasn't until he learned the truth that Liu Yuan realized the store he was competing against was actually backed by a legendary figure, which left him completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Liu Yuan was pushed out by Liu Tianzong, and he was filled with despair.

He knew he was doomed.

However, he also knew that his death could ensure the safety of his lineage, as the clan leader had promised him.

"Boss Su, it's all my fault. Do whatever you want with me, I'll obey your orders." Liu Yuan knelt down in front of Su Ping with a thud, pressing his head firmly to the floor, extremely humble.

Su Ping glanced at it but didn't feel much, nor did he have any killing intent.

This is clearly a scapegoat.

The competition may have been started by this person, but it was backed by the entire Liu family.

Otherwise, where did the two top-tier titled battle pets that were competing with the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast outside the Extraordinary Pet Shop come from?

However, Su Ping had no intention of investigating further. With half of the family fortune lost, the Liu family was already half-ruined.

As for this scapegoat, Su Ping had no intention of killing him. Such a talent was naturally left to the Liu family. They could deal with him however they wanted, even if he were to succeed as the clan leader, it would have nothing to do with him.

"Alright, I don't want to see any bloodshed today. You can all go back. Just give me the money for your Liu family's assets. I have no interest in managing those businesses," Su Ping said.

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, Liu Tianzong was slightly taken aback, then quickly said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Boss Su!"

If it were just a matter of converting it into cash, the Liu family's losses would be much less. After all, the business is still there, and as long as they can weather the crisis of the funding shortage, they can rise again.

The others glanced at Liu Tianzong and thought it was a pity. If the Liu family had been wiped out, they could have devoured the corpses of the Liu family members to make up for their losses in this incident.

Just as everyone was preparing to say goodbye and leave, another chariot arrived from outside.

Soon, a middle-aged man led three titled experts to the door.

"It's the mayor."

"Mayor Xie."

"This guy..."

The five clan heads' expressions changed slightly when they saw the middle-aged figure entering, and they were secretly annoyed.

If the mayor had revealed how terrible the store was to them earlier, they wouldn't have offended it, and they could have even curried favor with it sooner.

Xie Jinshui was somewhat surprised to see the crowd gathered in the store, but when he thought of the matter between the five major families and Su Ping, he immediately felt relieved. He glanced at the heads of the five families and saw the anger in their eyes, but he remained unfazed, as if he hadn't seen it, and still maintained a smile on his face.

By concealing the legendary story of Su Ping's shop, he offended all five major families in one fell swoop.

But compared to legends, what are the five great families?

Besides, what good would it do to offend these five families? Could they possibly unite and rebel as a whole?

After all, they are all capital, and the only thing that can unite them is interests, not hatred or friendship.

"Boss Su, my name is Xie Jinshui, the mayor of Longjiang Base City. I am a local official. I have heard that you are a tutor at Fengshan College. So, we are somewhat related."

As soon as Xie Jinshui entered, he greeted Su Ping warmly.

"Oh?"

Su Ping looked at the man in front of him and thought, "This is the top leader of Longjiang?"

"My daughter's cousin is studying at Fengshan College. She may have even attended Professor Su's classes. However, I heard that Professor Su rarely gives lectures, which is a real pity for the students," Xie Jinshui said with a smile.

The others around him all looked at him strangely.

My daughter's cousin's friend?

Could this relationship be taken any further?

Su Ping was also somewhat speechless. However, although the words were a bit far-fetched, he could see that the other party was trying to make friends. He said, "Mayor, please sit down."

Xie Jinshui was somewhat surprised. He looked around at the people standing in the room and didn't expect Su Ping to invite him to sit down. It seemed that Su Ping had a good impression of him.

"Thank you, Mr. Su."

With just a glance and a few words, Xie Jinshui could tell that Su Ping disliked false politeness and didn't bother with formalities, sitting down directly and frankly.

"Mayor, I heard this street has been blocked off."

Su Ping said, "You know I'm in business. If you block off the streets, I won't have any business."

Xie Jinse's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but want to stand up.

However, seeing that Su Ping did not seem to blame him, he did not get up rashly, as it would be too abrupt.

"Boss Su is right. I overlooked that. I thought Boss Su was just doing business for fun," Xie Jinshui said quickly, with a sincere expression of apology.

Su Ping was helpless. Why did everyone think that he was just playing around in business?

Does someone as handsome as him not seem like someone who would do business?

"Actually, I'm serious about doing business."

With all five major families present, Su Ping earnestly stated, "Anyone who interferes with my business is opposing me; conversely, anyone who patronizes my shop is my friend, Su Ping."

The five family heads looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even the elders of the Tang family and Xie Gangge were somewhat bewildered.

With a legendary figure at the helm and such monstrous talent of his own, he actually told them he wanted to get serious about doing business?!

Why aren't you focusing on your training? What are you doing here doing business?

Experiencing life?

We haven't reached that point yet; it's not like we're trying to glean some profound truth from everyday life!

Everyone was speechless, but seeing how seriously and solemnly Su Ping spoke, they secretly remembered his words.

Perhaps doing business is just one of this eccentric guy's quirks?

Many people have hobbies, such as some people like to kill, some people like to steal, so why can't some people like to do business?

Thinking about it this way, everyone gradually felt relieved and began to think about how to use Su Ping's quirky hobby to get closer to him in the future.

After Su Ping finished speaking, he saw that everyone looked thoughtful, and he didn't know if they had understood.

However, that's all I have to say.

How much they can understand depends on them.

If you truly understand, then hurry up and provide more professional training for his shop!

"Boss Su, this matter has caused quite a stir. To protect your privacy, I took the liberty of blocking the news. It just so happens that you've been missing for the past few days, and I haven't been able to find you. If you want the news to get out, I'll lift the blockade. If you want to continue living in seclusion here, I'll continue to block it for you. What do you say?"

Xie Jinshui looked at Su Ping hopefully.

He preferred that Su Ping choose the second option, to continue living in seclusion there.

This shop has been in Base City for so long, but only recently has a legendary story been revealed. There are only two legends in Asia, but the girl in this shop is not one of them.

Clearly, the legend behind this shop is a recluse.

It was precisely because he understood this meaning that he took the initiative to protect the information for Su Ping.

Even when various families came to probe his intentions, he didn't reveal his identity, for fear of offending the legend of Su Ping's shop.

After all, what a recluse cannot tolerate most is others making their affairs public knowledge.

Moreover, it's rare to have a legendary figure stationed in the base city, so Xie Jinshui couldn't bear to provoke Su Ping and made Su Ping move elsewhere.

Hearing the mayor's words, Su Ping was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let nature take its course. There's no need for deliberate lockdown."

The shop had legendary news, so it was fine if it got out; Su Ping didn't care.

Exposing it can also help boost the store's reputation.

Xie Jinshui was taken aback, suddenly realizing he might have misjudged the situation. The legendary figure in Su Ping's shop didn't seem to be a recluse? He was puzzled but didn't dare ask further, naturally nodding and saying, "That's fine then. If Boss Su needs anything in the future, feel free to contact me anytime. Here's my contact number, would you like to write it down?"

"it is good."

Su Ping immediately agreed.

Living in Longjiang, there will inevitably be times when I need to trouble the other party with things, so being able to contact them at any time is the most convenient thing.

Seeing Su Ping enter into his communicator, Xie Jinshui smiled. Being able to establish a relationship with someone close to a legend is equivalent to establishing a relationship with a legend. Moreover, Su Ping's talent has even greater potential than that of a titled Sword Master. If Su Ping breaks through to become a legend in the future, the relationship he is building now will be even more valuable!

This is what investment by friends is all about!

"Is there anything else you need to tell me, Boss Su?" Xie Jinshui asked, his attitude extremely polite and without any airs.

Su Ping shook his head. "Just unblock the street for me. Also, if it's convenient, repair the road surface around the street so it'll be easier for people to drive here. Oh, and I'll transfer the money for the road repairs to you."

Xie Jinshui nodded repeatedly, and upon hearing the last sentence, he quickly waved his hand and said, "How could I let Boss Su pay for the road repairs? I'm in charge of Longjiang, and the poor road conditions are my responsibility. Don't worry, Boss Su, I will definitely repair the surrounding roads as soon as possible. Moreover, I plan to transform our Red Moon District into a large-scale pet center in the future, with Boss Su's shop as the core, and the other facilities radiating outwards."

"In that case, Mr. Su's business will be even better than it is now."

Su Ping nodded; he shared the same idea—to develop the surrounding area into a bustling district.

"If the mayor needs my money, just tell me. I don't need it," Su Ping nodded.

"Mr. Su, you're too kind," Xie Jinshui quickly replied.

Qin Duhuang, Mu Beihai, and the others felt uneasy seeing the conversation between the two.

The one who benefited the most from this incident was Lao Xie.

All five families lost money, but Old Xie knew about Su Ping's shop from the beginning and came prepared, successfully establishing a relationship with Su Ping.

With Su Ping's shops here, Hongyue District will inevitably become prosperous and may even become the economic center of Longjiang!

However, if news of a legendary event in Longjiang spreads, it will attract many migrant workers to relocate their household registration there.

After all, with monsters lurking outside the base city, it's not that safe. But if a base city has a legendary figure in charge, that's a different story. It will attract a large population, and the entire Longjiang region will move forward further in the future, joining the ranks of top-tier A-level base cities. This is also the main reason why Xie Jinshui flattered Su Ping and was reluctant to leave this powerful figure.
