Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 687 Insights into Low-Level Wind Path

"King Beast inventory?"

Tang's mischievous prank quickly took effect, startling everyone. When they saw Tang Ruyan's light-smiling yet serious expression, they were all somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Is that true?

"A king beast? You must be kidding me..."

"Really?"

If it were a regular hostess, they would have given her a cold shoulder long ago; how could she dare to make such a joke with them?

But the seemingly welcoming young woman with a title in front of them... they were a little unsure of her background and dared not provoke her rashly. After all, they had just moved to Longjiang and were unfamiliar with the place and its people, and did not know what kind of tricks this place was up to.

"Of course it's true, our service is absolutely genuine." Tang Ruyan chuckled, her tone tinged with pride, and said, "However, whether you can make a purchase depends on your abilities."

"ability?"

Several people looked at each other.

Tang Ruyan didn't say anything more, but smiled mysteriously and led the group into the sales hall, saying, "You can all choose from the royal beasts here."

The sales hall is not small; the interior is extremely spacious and filled with flowing light, exuding a futuristic technological feel. Giant beast projections surround the area, and there are also 3D battle pet projections in the central exhibition hall, providing a 360° panoramic exhibition.

"this……"

The group was stunned by the unprecedented decorating style and somewhat frightened. Tang Ruyan was teaching them how to use her star power to view the information of these king beast projections.

Guided by Tang Ruyan, the group arrived in front of a royal beast in the middle of the exhibition hall and released their star power to probe inside.

Soon, the information presented to them left the four speechless.

A king-level beast? Late-stage Void Realm?!

As disaster struck, legends emerged one after another, displaying extraordinary power. Many titled individuals were already aware of the ranking system for legends, so they were somewhat bewildered when they saw the realm displayed in this information.

"Xiao Tang, don't tease the customers."

Seeing Tang Ruyan's behavior in the hall, Su Ping said irritably.

Seeing Su Ping's displeasure, Tang Ruyan gave an awkward smile, stuck out her tongue, and said to the four of them, "Currently, the only battle pets left for sale in this shop are these Void Realm King Beasts. To purchase them, the minimum requirement is that they must be Legendary. If you want to raise battle pets, please come this way..."

The group withdrew their star power, and the information on their eyes faded away. They exchanged glances, realizing that the battle pet projections they had been shown were all at the Void Realm. Even if they could buy them, they couldn't sign contracts. This little girl... was deliberately teasing them.

Thinking of this, the expressions on their faces turned rather grim.

Although they couldn't figure out the girl's background, it didn't mean they would tolerate being played.

"No wonder there were no royal beasts for sale! It turns out they were just putting on some fancy projections to create a charade!"

"I don't know where this high-tech equipment came from, but you think you can fool people with just this? Is this the number one pet store in Longjiang?"

"Hmph, we came here to buy pet food, but we didn't expect you to be this kind of store. Did you think you could bully us just because we're not locals?!"

"Let's go. What a disappointment to see in Longjiang!"

The group was somewhat angry, and they stopped being polite, turned around and left, losing all interest in spending money there.

Tang Ruyan was stunned. She had only acted on a whim. After all, she was too excited to see so many Void Realm battle pets around her, which led her to want to show off by taking advantage of Su Ping's prestige. She didn't expect to cause trouble. She was a little flustered and looked at Su Ping, afraid that he would blame her.

But it was obviously too late. When she saw Su Ping roll his eyes, she immediately knew that she had messed up her job today!

"Um, gentlemen... I didn't mean anything by it, I was just joking. If you want to buy pet food, our pet food is of very high quality and will definitely not disappoint you." Tang Ruyan quickly tried to persuade them to stay, feeling a little wronged, experiencing for the first time the difficulties of being an employee.

In the past, other customers would fawn over Su Ping to have her breed their pets, which made her quite popular. But the people in front of her were all at the Title Realm and had never spent any money on her before, so they obviously wouldn't fawn over her just because of her beauty.

"Hmph, is this your store's marketing tactic?"

"Having a mere titled cultivator guard the gate, acting all high and mighty, and showing us this useless stuff, all for show, haha..."

Two of the account holders looked disdainful, having already seen through the store's marketing tactics.

The same kind of pretentious approach as luxury goods—who doesn't know how to do that?

They're all too familiar with the trick of using high-end packaging to lure customers in and rip them off. After all, they've all run many family businesses and know the ropes.

Tang Ruyan was both anxious and angry, saying, "Who said these are fake? The battle pets I showed you are all real, and they are all for sale. It's just that your cultivation levels are too low to sign contracts. Who said the things in our shop are fake!"

"Still pretending? Ha, it's just a projection, anyone can do that. Why didn't you write it as the Heavenly Fate Realm?" A short, stocky middle-aged man sneered, showing no politeness towards Tang Ruyan.

"Let's go, no need to say anything more." The middle-aged man leading the group was quite composed and didn't intend to say anything. It would be fine if they didn't buy anything here. This store could hire a titled guard and create the reputation of being the number one pet store in Longjiang. It must have something going for it. They didn't know who the capital behind it was, but it was probably related to the five major families of Longjiang.

They've just moved here, so they should try their best to avoid conflict with these five major families.

Seeing his expression, the other three realized what was going on and didn't say anything more to Tang Ruyan. There was nothing to argue about, so they just left without buying anything.

Anyway, the money is in their own pockets, what are they going to do with it? They can't just rob them outright.

"you……"

Seeing that they were really leaving, Tang Ruyan's expression changed. She wanted to stop them, but she didn't know what to say. Should she go up and beg them? She couldn't bring herself to do it. After all, she was also a titled cultivator and the patriarch of the Tang family. It would be shameful to be subservient to these people.

"Please wait a moment, everyone."

Just then, Su Ping walked over.

He glanced at Tang Ruyan, who looked hesitant, and frowned slightly, but said nothing to her; he would deal with her problem later.

"I am the owner of this shop. My employee has offended you all, and I apologize on her behalf," Su Ping said sincerely and earnestly, standing in their path.

After speaking, he bowed slightly.

Seeing Su Ping's reaction, Tang Ruyan, who was standing behind him, was stunned and opened her mouth slightly, somewhat incredulous.

In her eyes, Su Ping had always been arrogant, never showing any respect even to regular customers. Now, he was actually apologizing to several titled officials.

Just two hours ago, Su Ping personally created two legendary powerhouses!

"Um?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group frowned slightly when he saw Su Ping blocking the way. But when Su Ping sincerely apologized, his expression softened a little. He said, "No need for an apology. We have other things to do, so we won't linger any longer."

He never mentions being teased; there's no need. He can't afford to offend anyone, so he just stays away.

Su Ping shook his head slightly and said, "Although my employee offended you all, she meant no harm. Also, all the items marked with our logo are available for purchase, as long as the purchase conditions are met. For example, those battle pets over there can only be purchased by legendary players, but you can also enjoy our pet food and breeding services."

Again? Is this never going to end?

The middle-aged man frowned, somewhat impatient, but his expression remained restrained. He said, "I know, but we're just browsing and don't really want to buy anything."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Ping, implying that she couldn't force him to buy or sell.

Su Ping knew what the others were thinking and felt a bit of a headache. He said, "To express my apology, each of you will have the opportunity to enjoy a free meal at our store, but the amount will be limited to ten million."

Ten million?

The group was taken aback. The services offered at a pet shop were limited; how much could it possibly cost?

Ten million... Isn't that equivalent to a super annual pass, allowing you to experience all kinds of services at this store until you're old?

"Sorry, we don't need anything." The middle-aged man quickly shook his head and declined.

He was determined not to have anything to do with this store.

Do you think free benefits are so easy to get? They might just turn around and kill you!

The safest approach is to avoid provoking them and stay away. As long as the other party isn't crazy, they won't pester them like mad dogs. That's the mindset of middle-aged people.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was unmoved, Su Ping immediately guessed what he was thinking. He sighed inwardly and said, "It seems that you gentlemen do not trust our shop. In that case, I will have no choice but to let them come out and meet our guests."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately became alert, somewhat alarmed and angry.

Is this the prelude to taking action?

There really are such audacious black shops, daring to operate in broad daylight... Okay, it's nighttime now, before dawn... but that won't do!

How dare they force a sale on a moonlit night?!

The group instantly assumed a defensive stance, staring at the gate not far away. If they rushed out and really caused a big commotion, they refused to believe that there was no law in Longjiang!

Especially during this special period, how dare they wage civil war?

But the next moment, the group suddenly felt as if their backs were frozen, cold and chilly.

Suddenly, an extremely gloomy, terrifying, fierce, and brutal aura filled the store, right behind them.

The group turned their heads with difficulty, and upon seeing what they saw, their pupils contracted, and their faces were filled with extreme terror.

It was a ferocious beast over ten meters long, its body crouching, its hideous head covered in spikes and black scales reaching out, and a foul stench like that of internal organs emanating from its slightly split mouth.

terror!

The most terrifying thing is that the appearance of this ferocious beast is exactly the projection of the battle pet they saw earlier!

But now, it's the real deal!

"This is its miniature size after being shrunk. If you don't believe me, I can take it outside the shop to show its true size," Su Ping's voice rang out from the side, tinged with a helpless sigh. "The items sold in this shop are absolutely genuine. I sincerely hope you can trust me."

Sincerity... what a load of crap!

They were all so scared they almost peed their pants; their legs were trembling.

Could it not be a real beast, so close at hand, emanating a warm, foul odor?

What kind of store is this?!

"Let's go back." Su Ping said to the battle pet when he saw that the others were pale with fright.

The next moment, the battle pet transformed into a beam of light in their eyes and entered the projection. The terrifying aura that had dominated the entire scene also disappeared, but the shadow it left behind was deeply imprinted in their hearts and could not be erased.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you all," Su Ping sighed, speaking very sincerely.

The four titled figures then realized what was happening and turned to look at Su Ping, only to find that their necks had become very stiff. When they saw Su Ping's sincere and harmless expression, they felt a little warmth again, and their hearts gradually resumed beating.

"This, this..."

"Is this really true?"

When the two titled individuals spoke, one stammered "this" for several seconds, unable to utter a word, while the other couldn't help but ask, his tone filled with awe and a hint of fear.

"It's true." Su Ping said patiently, "My employee's attitude was not right, it was her dereliction of duty, but everything in our store is genuine, I can guarantee that to everyone."

The group looked at each other in disbelief; having witnessed the ferocious beast with their own eyes, they had no choice but to believe it.

But... that beast is at the Void Realm, how can it actually be sold?

Under Su Ping's calm gaze, the group dared not question him any further, fearing that Su Ping would summon the ferocious beast again and force them to "believe, believe."

"Um, we understand." The middle-aged man in the lead also turned a little pale. Although he had a strong mental fortitude, he was still only at the Title Realm, which was a far cry from the Void Realm King Beast. Not to mention that the ferocious killing intent emanating from that beast was a hundred times more terrifying than any other King Beast they had ever seen.

"I just heard that you all want to buy pet food. I wonder what kind of pet food you want to buy? Perhaps our store has some," Su Ping asked casually, but his mind was already on the prompt in his mind.

Mission accomplished: Restored the store's reputation!

The reward is... a low-level book of Wind Dao insights!

This reward is quite substantial!

Just as these people were about to leave and questioned the shop, the system seemed to have been upset and gave him this task, which he naturally accepted gladly.

Since the shop gained a reputation, he hasn't received any random small tasks like this for a long time.

Long ago, he discovered that if someone questioned the shop's reputation or his training level, it would anger the system and cause it to issue certain tasks.

Unfortunately, its reputation grew so much that all the customers who came to it were regulars, and it couldn't even keep up with them all, so it didn't attract any criticism.

He couldn't possibly hire someone to provoke him himself, since the system was already a seasoned spy, and the people he hired wouldn't count at all.

However, even without the system issuing the mission, given what just happened, Su Ping didn't want these people to leave like this, and he also cherished the reputation he had built up.

Ultimately, it seems we need to strengthen employee training.

Su Ping glanced at Tang Ruyan. The mischievous Tang was also secretly watching Su Ping. When she saw Su Ping's gaze, she immediately turned her head away like a mouse seeing a cat, fidgeting with her hands. She was a little nervous and was obviously mentally prepared to be scolded.

"Uh..." Hearing Su Ping's words, the four titled individuals exchanged glances. Now that things had come to this, they would have to think twice before refusing, since the impression left by that ferocious beast was too deep.
