Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 74 Thunder Rat Trend

After finishing his cultivation, Su Ping cleaned up the remnants of the precious medicine on the ground and threw them into the recyclable waste bin.

He put on his still slightly damp clothes, opened the shop door, and while waiting for customers to come in, he practiced his amplification skills.

In his spare time from cultivation, he multitasked with two things, browsing recent news on his computer.

Staying informed about the day's breaking news has been a habit he's developed since he came into this world.

"A female celebrity suffers from depression, yet she did this to her pet animal?!"

"Turbulence has arisen again on the coast of Sky Whale City; a herd of high-level beasts has been spotted..."

"A prestigious school in Longjiang City is suffering from a rat infestation..."

A series of enticing news headlines appeared, enticing people to click on them.

Based on Su Ping's years of experience, he has long been immune to these sensationalist headlines. For example, the first news about a certain female star, if you click on it, there must be another reason, not what the headline implies, otherwise it would not have passed the review.

To test his judgment, Su Ping didn't hesitate to waste his time to personally inspect the place.

As for the social news he was required to watch later, that was temporarily put on hold.

"really!"

Upon reading the contents, Su Ping was immediately filled with grief and indignation.

Nowadays, news outlets have even abandoned basic morality in order to attract viewers!

This is a deceptive tactic, shameless!

Su Ping angrily closed the webpage and started reading the social news that followed, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Tianjing Base City is a coastal base city, and border defense has always been a problem. There are even more monsters in the ocean, which often swim in along inland rivers, causing great damage to the port and fishermen.

After silently reading through the news, Su Ping flipped to the next news item.

Are prestigious schools in Longjiang City suffering from a rat infestation?

Su Ping found it strange. As soon as he clicked in, he saw a familiar name. This school was none other than Fengshan Academy, the one Su Lingyue attended.

The "rat plague" mentioned in the title is not an actual rat infestation, but rather a sudden surge in the use of Thunder Rats at Fengshan Academy these past few days. Thunder Rats can now be seen everywhere in the academy, making it appear as if a rat infestation has broken out.

And the reason...

It turned out that at the academy's annual competition, a monstrous Thunder Rat fought its way through the rounds, leading its master into the finals!

This Thunder Rat instantly killed many mid-to-high-level bloodline monsters, demonstrating an extremely monstrous talent, and even mastered the ten secret techniques of the Thunder element!

Below the news article are videos of Razor Mouse's matches.

Su Ping was taken aback. It was actually this little thing that started it?

Below the news article are related news links, such as "To see the potential of the Thunder Rat, watch this video," "A shocking secret! The Thunder Rat is not a low-level pet!!" and "The hidden king among low-level pets—if you have one, start training it now!!"...

Su Ping was speechless, never expecting that this little thing would cause such a big stir.

He was still very interested in pet competitions. He clicked on the competition video in the news and saw the figure of Su Yanying, who had come to his shop, appear on the stage of the competition. In front of him was a small Thunder Mouse. The video gave the Thunder Mouse a close-up!

His shifty-eyed, rat-like face remained incredibly sleazy.

The next moment, as the match began, Thunder Mouse instantly rushed out, unleashing two skills: Thunder Flash and Thunder Shadow Afterimage, instantly closing in on the enemy and defeating him!

Sold out instantly!

Then came another match...

In four or five consecutive matches, Thunder Rat swiftly defeated its opponents. Among the pets that fell under its claws were some highly popular mid-tier pets and others were high-bloodline pets that ordinary people looked up to. Their postures were incredibly beautiful, but they were all swatted to the ground by this little rat.

The barrage of comments was in an uproar, with "Lord Rat is awesome!" flooding the screen. You had to turn off the comments to see the video clearly.

Su Ping didn't expect that the Thunder Rat would become so popular in just a few days after it was exposed. If people knew that this little thing was bred in his shop, wouldn't his business be booming immediately?

Su Ping searched online for related news and found that some breeding shops had already launched advertisements claiming that the Thunder Light Mice were bred in their shops and even posted photos of themselves with Su Yanying. However, Su Ping could tell at a glance that the photos were obviously photoshopped.

Despite this, a large number of ignorant passersby still rushed over, causing the shops to be packed with customers.

Shameless!

Su Ping was furious and wanted to leave a comment criticizing him, but then he realized that his keyboard strength level was too weak and he would easily be overwhelmed.

He suddenly remembered that he had Su Yanying's phone number. He could call her and ask her to come over, and they could film a video together so that she could testify in person. Wouldn't that be much more convincing than those photoshopped images?

Thinking of this, he immediately searched through the counter for the forms and receipts that Su Yanying had filled out before, and quickly found them, including the phone number.

He dialed the number immediately.

A few beeps.

"Feed?" A clear female voice rang out, sounding somewhat puzzled.

"It's me, Little Rascal's boss," Su Ping said in a low voice, his tone as cold as ever.

"Is that the boss?" Su Yanying on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, but immediately recognized Su Ping's voice. She was pleasantly surprised that Su Ping would call her, and quickly said, "Boss, what's up?"

Su Ping said, "Do you have time? I'd like to invite you over so I can film a short video with you."

"..." The other end of the phone suddenly went silent.

"Take a short video?" Su Yanying was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.

Su Ping was puzzled when he heard no response from the other end, so he called out several more times.

Su Yanying realized what was happening, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Boss, what do you want to film?"

"Just take pictures of you and me. Oh, and by the way, bring that Thunder Rat too," Su Ping said.

"Bring a Thunder Mouse?" Su Yanying was taken aback for a moment, then a thought struck her, and she asked softly, "Is the boss going to help me breed it again?"

"If you want to breed it again, you'll have to pay more," Su Ping said. "Isn't the Thunder Rat famous now? I'd like you to come and film a video to prove that it was bred in my shop."

"Oh..." Su Yanying suddenly realized, her pretty face flushing red. She said, "That's exactly what I was going to do at your shop. Boss, thank you so much! If it weren't for you helping my Thunder Mouse, I probably wouldn't have made it to the finals. Although I lost in the end, making it to the finals was already a huge achievement. I'm so grateful for your guidance!"

"Oh, okay." Su Ping was somewhat perfunctory in his thanks, offering only a perfunctory polite reply before hanging up the phone.

But after hanging up, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard that the opponent had lost in the end? Had they only stopped in the finals?

"It's just an academy competition, yet there are pets above the seventh rank?" Su Ping was somewhat surprised. To defeat the Thunder Light Rat, it would have to be at least an adult high-level pet. Such strength would be considered captain level among the pioneers. How could an academy student possess it?

He immediately searched for Fengshan College's final competition videos on various video websites.

Although pet competitions within prestigious universities receive less attention from the outside world, unlike elite pet competitions and royal leagues, some enthusiastic individuals within the colleges have filmed the events and uploaded them online.

The footage was a bit shaky and not very clear.
