Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 546 The Legend of Our Time Upgrade

"..."

Tang Ruyan stared blankly at Su Ping, a bitter smile spreading across her face. This was how Su Ping had forcibly taken her there, but after spending time together, she could tell that Su Ping was a kind person who was sharp-tongued on the surface.

"Don't do this," Tang Ruyan said, bowing her head. "I'm not worth it. This time, I have to go!"

"Going is fine, but don't go to your death," Su Ping said indifferently. "After you've settled things, come back and take good care of the shop."

Tang Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "If I survive... I will come back."

"As long as you don't court death, you won't die." Su Ping waved his hand and said, "I'll have my pet beast accompany you back. We'll talk about this later. First, stand guard for the last time today."

Tang Ruyan was slightly taken aback, then her eyes brightened immediately.

Su Ping wants to lend me his pet beast?

She knew that Su Ping's pet beast was exceptionally powerful, at least at the level of a king beast. If she could bring a king beast back with her, it would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather to the Tang family!

"Thank you..."

She gave Su Ping a deep look and said in a low voice.

Su Ping waved her hand, telling her to go back.

Tang Ruyan didn't say anything more and turned back to her post.

Those around them also heard the conversation between the two and looked at Tang Ruyan in surprise.

If they weren't mistaken, the Tang family that the girl was talking about might be the Tang family of the four great families.

Some well-informed people had already guessed the reason for the incident and could not hide their shock. They never expected that this young girl from the Tang family would work under this legendary figure who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Now that she had gained the favor of this legend and was using his pet beast, the forces that opposed the Tang family were going to be in big trouble!

Not long after, Su Ping heard a system notification that the pet warehouse was full.

The foster care spaces were also nearly full.

Su Ping immediately stopped registering people and said to the crowd in front of him, "All seats are full. The rest of you can come back another time."

Hearing Su Ping's words, the people behind him were astonished, not expecting that there was such a thing as a full house here.

In other stores, they would love for a constant stream of customers.

Although surprised, considering that Su Ping was a legend, opening this shop was clearly not his main business, but just a hobby. As for making money? Would a legend be short of money?

The remaining people could only express their regret and leave the store reluctantly.

After seeing the customers off, Su Ping gestured for Tang Ruyan and the old man and young man to come over. Once they were in front of him, he said, "You two told me about the incident at the Tang family, right? Could you tell me in detail what happened and how long ago it happened?"

Both Xia Yumeng and the titled elder were nervous and apprehensive, trembling before Su Ping. Xia Yumeng mustered her courage and said, "Reporting to Senior, I have only heard that the Situ family and the Wang family, two of the four great families, have conspired to economically suppress the Tang family in various industries a few days ago. Some professionals say that the Situ family and the Wang family are serious this time, and they will probably attack the Tang family in the next few days."

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. "The Situ family and the Wang family? So this is a bloodbath among the four major families. What's the reason and opportunity behind their conspiracy?"

Xia Yumeng said cautiously, "It seems to be because the Tang family patriarch was injured during cultivation."

Su Ping was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Tang Ruyan beside him and saw the complicated look in her eyes. He shook his head and said, "As one of the four great families, the fact that the Tang family's patriarch is injured is not enough to warrant a joint attack from the other two families. They had been getting along peacefully before. The sudden attack on the Tang family must have another reason. In a battle between such large families, even if the Tang family patriarch falls, someone else will take over command. In terms of combat strength, the Tang family patriarch is at most at the limit of the title level. He is not the cause of the battle."

Xia Yumeng froze, her face turning slightly pale, and said, "Wan, this junior wouldn't dare to deceive you, senior. The news I heard is like this..."

The elderly man with the title beside him was also somewhat apprehensive, saying, "Senior, my young lady and Miss Ruyan are close friends. She would never deceive her. I am willing to guarantee this with my own title!"

Su Ping waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't say you deceived her. I just said there's another reason behind it, and it's normal that you don't know it. In any case, if they really want to attack the Tang family, it's definitely not just a casual fight. They must be confident of victory."

Tang Ruyan, who was standing next to her, was a little stunned. After hearing Su Ping's analysis, she suddenly came to her senses and couldn't help but feel a little frightened and scared.

Their Tang family possesses a legendary treasure that can even defeat king-level beasts!

The Situ and Wang families must be aware of this, given that they have been dealing with each other for many years.

This only proves that they have something capable of resisting the Tang family's legendary treasure, and they have a reason to devour the Tang family!

Thinking of this, Tang Ruyan's heart sank slightly.

She looked at Su Ping, hesitant to speak.

If we could get Su Ping to take action, given his current influence, even if the Situ and Wang families schemed for a long time, they would have no choice but to give up when they saw a legendary figure!

but……

The Su Ping before us is a legend!

What merit or ability does she possess to ask a legendary figure to stand up for her and for the Tang family?

Previously, the Tang family had launched a major attack on Su Ping's shop, and they had some grudges against each other. Although the matter ended with the Tang family offering a secret treasure as an apology, who knows if Su Ping had truly let go of his resentment?

"What's the current situation with the Tang family?" Su Ping asked again.

Xia Yumeng said respectfully, "The Night Fighting Base City where the Tang family is located has entered a state of war preparedness. Foreign trade and transportation are being strictly inspected. However, there has been no action from the Situ family or the Wang family yet. We don't know when the war will start, but the Tang family has already summoned all Tang family members from all over the world back home."

Upon hearing her words, Tang Ruyan's face paled slightly, but she kept her head down and did not show it.

Su Ping glanced at her as well. Deep down, he didn't want to see Tang Ruyan go back. The Tang family didn't even consider her part of the family. He had tried to persuade her, but to no avail. So, he decided to let her go back to settle things once and for all.

"If an attack is to occur, it will likely be very soon."

Su Ping pondered for a moment, then said to the old man and the young man in front of him, "Thank you for informing me. You may go ahead if you have other matters to attend to."

Upon hearing Su Ping's order to leave, the titled elder was very sensible. He said a few words of humility and quickly took his leave, pulling his young mistress away. He dared not stay in front of Su Ping any longer, as the pressure was too great.

Once only Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong remained in the shop, Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan, "I'll let Xiaobai stay with you. With it there, at least you'll be able to keep yourself alive."

"noob?"

Tang Ruyan was somewhat bewildered.

Su Ping summoned the little skeleton; Xiao Bai was the name he had just given it.

He originally planned to have the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast accompany her, as its combat power would be a great threat to the four major families. However, since two of the families were conspiring together, Su Ping was worried that they had other plans. Although the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast was strong, Xiao Bai was more reliable, especially since he wouldn't be by her side this time.

As for the little skeleton, even if it encounters the other shore, it will not be easy to kill. Its bloodline ability of eternal life and death has already been tested in the Purple Blood Dragon Abyss Realm. Even those Purple Blood Heavenly Dragons in the Heavenly Fate Realm would find it difficult to kill!

Upon seeing the little skeleton, Tang Ruyan was taken aback, then immediately delighted.

She knew that among Su Ping's pet beasts, this little skeleton, though the least impressive in appearance, was the strongest!

"Thank you!" she couldn't help but say.

Su Ping's kindness to her was so great that she didn't know what to say.

The words "thank you" seemed inadequate; she could only silently remember them in her heart.

"Little one, you stay with this auntie and take good care of her. Don't let her die," Su Ping said, stroking the little skull's smooth head.

Tang Ruyan: "??"

The little skeleton looked up at him, seemingly processing his words. After a few seconds, it nodded, its reaction time appearing somewhat slow and sluggish.

Su Ping had gotten used to it. Although the little skeleton was rather slow in communication, it was the most perceptive in combat and had the strongest killing intent among his pets!

"Anyone who tries to harm her, eliminate them," Su Ping instructed.

The little skeleton nodded.

Su Ping smiled slightly and looked at Tang Ruyan again. He suddenly remembered that the Zhong family had given him some medicinal herbs to improve his cultivation, which he had forgotten to use. Now that he had used the blood of the Asura King and some strange spiritual herbs from the Dragon Realm to raise his cultivation to the ninth level, the effect of these medicinal herbs on him was already very low. They were only suitable for people at the seventh or eighth level.

"Your cultivation level is too low. Even ordinary titled cultivators can kill you from a distance. Even a novice might not be able to protect you all the time. I have some spiritual herbs here. Take them and try to reach the eighth rank," Su Ping said, taking out the medicinal herbs given to him by the Zhong family from his storage space.

Tang Ruyan was somewhat speechless, but she had gotten used to Su Ping's sharp tongue. Thinking of her seventh-level cultivation, she felt complicated. She used to be proud of her cultivation, after all, she was only that old, and among her peers, she was by no means weak, and it would not be an exaggeration to call her a genius.

But after witnessing a monster like Su Ping, and seeing those titles and even legends in Su Ping's shop, she felt that the seventh rank was really... a bit embarrassing.

"If I cultivate, won't that cause a delay? What if by the time I return to the Tang family, it's already too late..." Tang Ruyan said worriedly.

Su Ping said irritably, "Don't overthink it. Didn't your friend say that the Tang family hasn't started fighting yet? It's a battle between major families, after all. Even if it has started, it won't end so quickly. If you're really in a hurry, then hurry up and start cultivating."

After saying that, he tossed the medicinal herbs to her.

Tang Ruyan caught it, her expression shifting for a moment, but she still felt that Su Ping's words made sense.

After Tang Ruyan took the medicinal herbs to the testing room, Su Ping asked Zhong Lingtong to bring the register and look through the pets received that day, classifying them.

After sorting everything out, Su Ping couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the store's energy balance.

Today's income is 6800 million energy.

The pets that come for breeding are all high-level pets, and most of them are professionally bred!

Adding the energy from before, we now have 9000 million energy!

Another ten million, and it will break one hundred million!

One hundred million units of energy equals ten billion units of revenue!

Su Ping was somewhat hesitant to think about it, but the pets registered today alone were enough for him to raise for a long time. This was also why he didn't personally accompany Tang Ruyan to the Tang family.

Firstly, he disliked the Tang family, and secondly, he was too busy to handle everything at the moment.

Having little skeletons to follow is enough.

At least it can ensure Tang Ruyan's safety.

As for whether the Tang family is destroyed or survived, Su Ping doesn't care.

"Upgrade your store!"

Su Ping immediately recited it silently in his mind.

Upgrading to a level 3 store requires 10 million energy.

A level 4 store requires one billion energy!

A hundredfold improvement!

"Upgrade detection in progress... Condition 1 met, Condition 2 met, Condition 3 met..."

"The store upgrade will proceed next."

"The system will be undergoing maintenance. Upgrade time: 24 hours."

"During the upgrade process, only the beginner to advanced levels of the cultivation world will be available temporarily; the top-level cultivation world will be temporarily closed."

"Upgrade energy deducted..."

"System store is upgrading..."

A series of notifications appeared, and Su Ping raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself, "System, you still need maintenance? Aren't you supposed to be a top-tier idiot...or an AI?"

"Maintenance is rest. Constantly monitoring you, this useless host, is exhausting for this system," the system retorted coldly.

Su Ping was surprised. This system has even learned to swear?

Who the hell did they learn this from?
