Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 422 Ninth-Order Cultivation (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

After talking with the mayor, Su Ping was in a very good mood.

If, in the future, the area around Xiaotaoqi really becomes the economic center of Heilongjiang, then the surrounding industries will flourish, which would be a great thing for his shop.

The more lush the surrounding area, the better his business will be; at that time, it may become the norm for his shop to be packed with customers every day.

In this way, he can also turn his attention to his cultivation.

Through the suppression of the Tang family, the forced retreat of Xingkong, and the trembling of the five major families, Su Ping increasingly felt the importance of power.

If you have power, everything will come to you unbidden.

A request without power is merely a plea, utterly meaningless.

After seeing the mayor off, Su Ping also saw off the heads of the five families one by one.

As Mu Shuangwan was about to leave, she noticed that Su Ping didn't even glance at her. She felt both relieved and inexplicably disappointed. It seemed that he had long forgotten about someone as insignificant as her.

Meanwhile, back in his car after leaving the shop, Qin Shaotian said in a very low voice, almost through gritted teeth, "Grandpa, I want to go to the True Martial Academy. I want to become stronger!"

What happened today was a huge shock to him.

Even his most revered grandfather had to tremble with fear in front of Su Ping.

This all stems from the power held by the other side!

He desperately wanted to possess such power immediately, and he also desperately wanted to cultivate to the limit of the title level and then challenge the distant legendary realm!

Once you become a legend, it's a completely different story!

Upon hearing his grandson's words, Qin Duhuang fell silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He brought Qin Shaotian here today because he anticipated what would happen here, and he wanted to give him a shock.

Other families dared not bring their young masters, fearing that Su Ping would cause trouble and wipe out their entire families. But he knew that Su Ping would not do such a thing.

On the contrary, having Qin Shaotian come over would be a good way to provoke him.

Young people need excitement.

Only through constant stimulation can one maintain the motivation to challenge limits and strive relentlessly!

Qin Shaotian's reaction proved that Qin Duhuang did the right thing. He knew that the competition at Zhenwu Academy was far more intense than that at the prestigious schools in Longjiang Base City!

That's the place with the most geniuses in the entire Asian continent!

Various families, factions, including the Starry Sky Organization, and the children of some titled ultimate monsters all send their descendants there to cultivate.

There, you can not only learn extraordinary combat skills, but also access a different network of people.

However, the competition there is extremely fierce, and without a firm will, it is difficult to persevere.

……

In the store.

After the five major families left, Xie Gange and several elders of the Tang family also bid farewell to Su Ping.

After leaving the shop, Jie Gange flew away immediately.

Several elders of the Tang family bid farewell to Su Ping and then left.

Watching their figures disappear outside the shop, Su Ping glanced at Tang Ruyan, who was standing blankly beside him, waved his hand in front of her eyes, and said, "Stop looking, they're all gone."

Tang Ruyan snapped out of her daze, paused for a moment, and forced a smile, saying, "I know."

Seeing the forced, awkward smile on her face, and recalling how the elders of the Tang family hadn't even glanced at her before leaving, Su Ping couldn't help but shake his head.

"You still want to go back to the Tang family? If you do, you can leave," Su Ping said.

He could sense that the other person still cared about the Tang family.

Perhaps, that is my own home, my only root in the world. If I don't care about that place, I can't find a place to stand in my heart.

Tang Ruyan was stunned.

She looked at Su Ping, seemingly surprised that he would say such a thing.

Let her go?

Previously, this was something she had always dreamed of.

But now, she suddenly finds herself unable to speak.

Go back to the Tang family...

But she was just wearing a mask.

Moreover, it's a broken mask, which has lost its purpose of concealment.

What's the point of going back?

None of the clan elders asked her if she wanted to go home; they just left without asking.

Are there really people there who want her to go back?

If that's home, and if no one in that home expects to see you, is there any point in going back?

Tang Ruyan didn't know; she didn't have the answer in her heart, or rather, she vaguely had an answer, but she was afraid and dared not think about it deeply.

She bit her lip slightly, then shook her head gently.

"No..."

Her voice was inexplicably low, like a balloon that had suddenly deflated.

Su Ping looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly patted her shoulder and said, "Since that's your home, and since your surname is Tang, then you should go back. However... you should have them come to your door personally, at all costs, to take you back, to return with dignity!"

Tang Ruyan trembled, looked up at Su Ping in a daze, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"You are not a mask, but a person with a name and a surname."

"You don't need to cover for anyone, nor do you need to be anyone's substitute. You are you, true to your name!"

Su Ping stared at her and said, word by word.

Tang Ruyan felt as if her heart was suddenly being torn apart.

She could no longer hold back her tears, and they suddenly burst forth.

She suddenly threw herself onto Su Ping's shoulder and burst into tears.

Su Ping was unusually silent, not pushing her away, letting the scalding tears soak his clothes.

He looked up, listening to the cathartic sobs around him, and gazed at the clear sky outside the shop, lost in thought for a long time.

Much later.

Tang Ruyan gradually cried herself out. She came to her senses, let go of Su Ping's shoulder, her cheeks flushed red, and wiped her swollen eyes, saying, "Thank you."

Su Ping's thoughts drifted back to her as he looked at her.

"Thank you for your comfort." Tang Ruyan looked at him, meeting his gaze without flinching, and said very sincerely.

This was the first time Su Ping had seen her so sincere.

At this moment, there seemed to be no pretense, no willfulness or capriciousness, but rather pure and unadulterated sincerity.

Su Ping paused for a moment, then said, "I'm not just trying to comfort you; I'm serious."

Tang Ruyan smiled and said, "I know, I will try my best."

Su Ping glanced at her twice, then said nothing more. Everything was conveyed in their exchange of glances, without the need for words.

……

With the departure of the five major families, the Tang family, and the Starry Sky Organization, peace returned to the area outside Peach Blossom Creek Street.

Not long after, the blockade outside the street was lifted.

The previously blocked news was gradually reported online. For example, footage taken by nearby residents when Tang Jia's army arrived appeared on various video websites.

Without the city government's blockade, many previously censored messages have resurfaced.

These video clips and news once again made Xiaotaoqi's store famous.

As for the authenticity of the video, there is much controversy online, with opinions polarized. Some people firmly believe it, while others do not. After all, what happened in the video was too shocking, and many people think that the video is fake and could not have happened in reality.

Regardless, Little Rascal's shop reappeared in the public eye overnight and became extremely popular.

Meanwhile, Extraordinary Pet Shop announced its closure.

All branches in Longjiang have been closed!

Furthermore, when the store was shut down, an announcement appeared on the store's official website. It was more like an apology letter than an announcement, and the object of the apology was the Xiaotaoqi store.

This news once again caused an uproar.

Thinking back to the previous bet, no one expected that Extraordinary Pet Shop would gamble so big, losing the entire shop.

That evening, Taohuaxi Street became lively again.

The streets were packed with people.

Numerous reporters lined the street, and many people came from afar, eager to see this mysterious little shop.

Su Ping contacted previous customers and asked them to come and pick up their pets so that there would be room to accommodate new customers' pets.

As the number of customers increased, Su Ping also wrote the shop's price list directly on a notice board and posted it on the wall near the shop entrance.

Su Ping also plans to build a photo wall in the store, taking pictures of some old customers and their battle pets, and hanging them on the photo wall as a memento.

His idea was immediately approved by the system.

Before Su Ping could even find someone to install it, a photo wall suddenly appeared in the entrance hall of the shop.

Of course, there were no other customers around when this happened; only Tang Ruyan and Joanna were in the store.

Tang Ruyan was surprised by this strange scene, but knowing that some Rock-type battle pets could also do it, she didn't think too much about it.

"Boss, is the video online real?"

"I heard that your shop has a legendary expert overseeing it, is that true?"

Many customers came and couldn't help but ask Su Ping for information.

Some of the regular customers were also very curious and excited.

Su Ping chuckled but didn't answer.

At this moment, some customers were stunned when they saw the price list that Su Ping had posted on the notice.

Although it had been rumored online that the training fees at Su Ping's shop were extremely high, no one expected them to be this outrageously high.

Breeding high-level pets, a professional breeding session costs 100 million?!

One hundred million is a lot of money; it's enough to buy even a single adult level nine battle pet!

Here, it's just the cost of nurturing it!

Even the regular customers at Su Ping's shop were shocked by the cost of this advanced professional training. It was outrageous. Many people here were worth tens of millions, which was considered good. Very few had more than a hundred million, and even if they did, they wouldn't be willing to go bankrupt to train a battle pet. It was too extravagant.

Soon, some people connected this to the closure of the Extraordinary Pet Shop, and their opinion of Little Rascal suddenly turned very negative.

Taking advantage of the closure of Feifan Pet Shop and its monopoly, they started raising prices—that's outrageous!

Many new customers left in anger, but although they were angry, they didn't dare to show it too obviously in Su Ping's store, preparing to go back online and hurl insults at her.

Some long-time customers, though initially shocked, gradually accepted the price. Having experienced the breeding services at Su Ping's shop, they found the breeding results to be absolutely unmatched by other pet shops, making it well worth the money!

Many long-time customers are curious about the effects of this 100 million yuan cultivation program.

It's a pity they don't have that much money, otherwise some of their regular customers would really like to give it a try.

Due to the exorbitant price, many customers who came with high expectations were disappointed, while only some long-time customers persisted and continued to receive the original training services.

Su Ping didn't explain anything and continued to entertain the guests.

Before long, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of them.

Su Ping looked and was surprised to see that it was Qin Shuhai.

Qin Shuhai looked at Su Ping with a smile and said, "Boss Su, I'm here to patronize your business."

He originally called him "Brother Su", but now that Su Ping has an extraordinary status, he dares not address him that way anymore. Calling him "Boss Su" now has a bit of a probing meaning.

Su Ping shook his head and smiled, saying, "You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for a tycoon like you for a long time."

Qin Shuhai was taken aback. Remembering Su Ping's words about taking business seriously during the day, he couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "The Royal League will start soon. Aren't you going to participate?"

Su Ping suddenly remembered what he had said before: if you win the league championship, you will get a talent stone. He became interested and said, "When it starts, call me again, and I might come."

"it is good."

Qin Shuhai readily agreed.

It would definitely be interesting if Su Ping participated in the competition.

"I've heard that your shop has amazing skills in breeding pets. I'd like to give it a try. Do you breed high-level battle pets?" Qin Shuhai asked.

Su Ping nodded, "Of course, you've come to the right place. It wasn't allowed to train them before; the training of advanced battle pets was only opened today."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuhai's heart skipped a beat. Was the reason he hadn't cultivated it before because he wasn't confident?

So, is the reason for opening today to make money because the Liu family's Extraordinary Pet Shop went bankrupt and the market is booming?

His expression was strange. He might not have thought that way about anyone else, but with someone like Su Ping who treated doing business as a hobby, he couldn't help but suspect that the other person was a money-grubber.

I may have thought about it, but since I'm already here, going back now would be a bit of an offense.

"Then I'll experience Boss Su's service," Qin Shuhai said with a smile, but inwardly he was bitter. He didn't dare to hand over his main battle pet to Su Ping, but instead summoned a relatively small, four or five-meter-tall, low-level ninth-tier battle pet.

This is his secondary pet, a Rock-type sub-dragon, the Earth-type Dragon Turtle.

The most distinctive feature of the Earthly Turtle is its high defense and thick skin, making it Qin Shuhai's "shield" in battle.

"The King's League starts in a week. Can we train it before the league starts?" Qin Shuhai asked cautiously. He would definitely need this Earthly Turtle to participate in the King's League, and he would be in an awkward situation if the training was not finished by then.
