Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 7 Three Services

"The shop is in the host's mind; simply think of it and it will appear," the system said.

Su Ping's heart stirred.

Suddenly, a dark gray shop panel popped into his mind, like a warehouse grid, but it only contained three items.

"Awakening Fluid - 100 Energy Points"

"Basic Animal Trapping Ring - 100 Energy Points"

"Low-level pet food - 10 energy points".

Information about the three items appears simultaneously.

Without hesitation, Su Ping chose to buy the "Awakening Liquid".

"Unable to purchase, insufficient energy," the system said.

"energy?"

Su Ping was stunned, and only then did he notice the purchase requirements at the end.

"Energy is mainly converted through the currency earned by the host at a ratio of 100:1. Currently, you have 1 point of energy remaining."

Su Ping was taken aback. Suddenly, he remembered something and opened his account records.

-

100!

Sure enough, 100 was missing from my account and transferred to an unknown, unfamiliar account.

"So, it only costs 10,000 yuan to buy it?" Su Ping was not disappointed at all, but rather very surprised.

That's too cheap! This is something that can turn an ordinary person into a Star Pet Warrior!

If you buy it from the federal government, not to mention the complicated channels, the price alone is astronomical, and the effect may not be as good!

"Convert all the remaining balance in my account into energy," Su Ping said immediately.

He still had a balance of over 20,000 yuan in his account, which was transferred to him by his family so that he could buy a few Star Pet cubs.

"Apart from the currency obtained within this store, currencies obtained through other channels cannot be converted," the system stated.

What?

Su Ping was stunned. "Is there a difference between the money earned in this shop and the money earned elsewhere?"

"no."

"Please note, this is a warning for swearing!"

"..." Su Ping took a deep breath, clenched his fingers, and said, "If there's no difference, then why can't money from other places be converted?"

"The currency conversion module primarily tests the host's own growth ability, and this ability will also be included in the system's final evaluation of the host," the system said.

"What final evaluation?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

"Host permissions are not sufficient, I will not tell you."

"..."

Su Ping suppressed a certain impulse and slowly loosened his clenched fist.

When you're under a system, you have no choice but to submit.

"Fortunately, earning 10,000 from the pet shop isn't too difficult, it just takes some time. If I can breed another pet like the Thunder Rat and sell it, I could easily earn more than 10,000, or even 1 million!" Su Ping thought to himself.

"With the host's current permissions, you cannot sell pets at the moment; you can only rent them," the system promptly poured cold water on the idea.

Su Ping: "??"

How can a pet store not sell pets?

"Please note, this is the second time you've been warned for swearing!" The system's voice was icy.

Some painful memories suddenly surfaced, but Su Ping quickly stopped the surging thoughts in his mind.

Take a deep breath in, then exhale.

He became a Buddha.

"Even if it's a rental, with the quality of a Thunder Rat, renting it for 10,000 yuan a time isn't difficult," Su Ping thought to himself.

"All services offered in this store have reasonable prices, and the host has no right to change the prices on their own," the system said again.

Su Ping was stunned.

He had a bad feeling. "What are the prices?"

"Currently, our store only offers three services: foster care, rental, and food sales."

"Since the host has not purchased a foster care space, the two foster care spaces currently available in our store are free junk provided by the system. Therefore, foster care will cost ten yuan per hour."

"As for the pet rental service, it is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the pet's rank, combat power, and aptitude. Since the host has not yet bred a pet, it is impossible to estimate the value."

"As for selling the grain, the host needs to personally go to the cultivation site to collect the grain and set the price according to the quality of the grain."

Su Ping was dumbfounded.

Are only these three services offered?

Does that mean that the push notifications for pet store merchandise will no longer be available?

Pet clothing, toys, and grooming services are what pet shops really make their money from!

Don't think that pets only fight. Most of the time, pets accompany their owners shopping, eating, drinking, and watching TV shows. Most pet owners are happy to take care of their pets in every way, because they are the only ones who will accompany them in life and death!

"Currently, if you're only making money through foster care, it's 10 yuan per hour. One foster care space costs 240 yuan per day, and two spaces cost 480 yuan. You can earn that in about a month..."

Su Ping did the math and figured it was acceptable; a month would pass by in no time.

However, the cost of this foster care space seems to be much higher than that of its competitors, and it is charged by the hour.

Who would leave their pet for just one hour?

"System, you just said that this foster care space is a piece of junk that you gave away for free. Are there any foster care spaces that cost more?" Su Ping asked in his mind.

"Of course," the system replied immediately. "Each primary foster care spot costs 10 energy points, and each spot requires 1 energy point to maintain, which is paid for by the host."

"It consumes energy to maintain?" Su Ping felt like he'd stumbled upon a shady dealer. "Isn't this thing permanent?"

"Of course not," the system said. "The primary foster care slots are constructed from spirit stones, which nurture the pets inside with pure spiritual energy. This has the effect of improving their comprehension and physical condition, making it easier for them to learn powerful secret techniques."

Su Ping was taken aback. Was it really that exaggerated?

It's important to know that, aside from some mysterious treasures, only highly skilled breeders can inspire a pet's comprehension.

And yet, a mere foster space has such an effect; it's practically equivalent to being cared for by a top-tier breeder at all times...

"How much does it cost for a primary foster care space?" Su Ping asked quickly.

"One hundred per hour," the system replied.

"..." Su Ping fell silent.

In the market, the price for pet boarding is generally around 100 yuan for ten days. Unless the owner has special requirements and adds other services, the price will not differ much.

One hundred per hour, that's 2400 per day.

That's 24,000 in ten days!

That's 24 times more than other pet stores!

"system."

Su Ping suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"Could the price... be raised a little more?"

"..."

The system ultimately rejected Su Ping's request, leaving him with some regret.

The price is indeed very expensive, even unbelievable, but in Su Ping's opinion, the benefits brought by this primary foster care position are too great. Even if the price increases tenfold, he would still think it is justified!

"However, we can't afford a basic foster care space right now. Are we just going to have to rely on the current scrap foster care space and slowly wear ourselves down?" Su Ping was a little annoyed.

As for the sale of grain...

We need to go back to the breeding grounds to collect them.

The thought of the countless deaths he had experienced in the breeding grounds over the past three days made Su Ping's lips twitch.

Life is so hard...

"Wait, I've suddenly disappeared for three days. My family must be worried." Su Ping suddenly realized this and was startled.

"Host, there's no need to worry. The time in the breeding grounds is not synchronized with this place. Only three hours have passed outside," the system said calmly.
