Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 99 Second-Level Shops

Su Ping returned to the shop, sat behind the counter to cultivate, and continued to wait for customers to come in and earn energy.

It has to be said that yesterday's promotion at the academy was very effective. Although business was not at full capacity today, one or two students from Fengshan Academy would come every now and then. Su Ping had received nearly twenty breeding orders, filling all the foster care slots.

If it weren't for the fact that business was so good today, Su Ping wouldn't have known that there was a limit to the number of foster care spaces.

According to the system, it is currently a level one shop, with a maximum of twenty-five foster care slots.

To increase the upper limit, you need to upgrade to a level 2 shop, which will increase the limit to fifty. The system store built into the shop will also be upgraded to a level 2 shop, and there will be a certain probability of refreshing intermediate items.

In addition, after upgrading to a level 2 store, a new nurturing space and a shadow clone nurturing function will be added.

Both of these functions are extremely useful. If there is a nurturing space, Su Ping can leave the nurturing pets he receives in the nurturing space without taking up a fostering slot. Moreover, the owners of the nurtured pets may not come to pick them up in time. The system does not allow Su Ping to mistreat the pets and leave them in the store at will. In that case, they would have to stay in his fostering slot and be fostered for others for free.

The second shadow clone cultivation function is even more useful.

Su Ping can select a suitable breeding plane and create shadow clones within it, allowing the shadow clones to complete the breeding of ordinary pets for him.

This shadow clone will be connected to his consciousness, just like his pet. The shadow clone will inherit part of his personality and intelligence, and has simple autonomous action ability. He can also use his mind to control it personally. What the shadow clone experiences will also be transmitted to him in sync. In this way, even if he stays in the shop or does other things, he can let the shadow clone carry out ordinary training for him.

This was the first time Su Ping's business had been so good. He knew that as his reputation grew, his business would only get better. At that time, he would not be able to complete the breeding of all the pets by himself. This shadow clone function had solved a major problem for him.

only……

No matter how you look at it, there are many advantages to being a level 2 store, but it takes a full 10,000 energy points to upgrade from level 1 to level 2!

To upgrade to level three, you'll need 100,000 energy points!

With the additional thousand or so energy he earned later, Su Ping only had a little over five thousand left.

Su Ping had already bought up all the basic fostering slots. Fortunately, the basic fostering slots were not expensive, costing 10 energy each. The intermediate slots were different, costing 1000 energy each, but the effects were also extremely amazing, equivalent to a hundred times that of the basic ones. They greatly improved the aptitude of any pet. Any pet could have its aptitude significantly improved after staying in one of the slots for a day, and it could also increase its combat power level.

Whether it's foster care or breeding, the effect is actually quite similar; both are ways to cultivate pets.

One is a free-range version, and the other requires hands-on cultivation. The hands-on approach naturally yields better results, especially considering the requirements of professional cultivation, which is difficult to achieve through foster care alone.

Now that all twenty-five boarding spots are full, Su Ping can't take on any new business until a spot becomes available. He's reached his daily limit, so he can only earn energy by selling pet food, which has no limit.

With nearly twenty pets to raise and eager to be fed, Su Ping, despite making a fortune, also felt considerable pressure. Around noon, he bought a boxed lunch at a nearby shop, ate it, and then returned to close the shop, striving to raise and send off this batch of pets as soon as possible. Once the next batch of pets was ordered, he would have enough energy to upgrade the shop to level two, at which point he would be able to relax and focus on professional breeding.

Buy and buy!

Su Ping bought ten temporary contracts from the system shop in one go, spending 100 energy points. He then selected four fire-type pets from the foster care slots and signed contracts with them all at once.

After the four fire-type pets completed their temporary contracts, Su Ping felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his mind, and his mental burden was quite heavy. He was only a third-tier upper-level battle pet master, and he already had three pets: Little Skeleton, Moon Chaser Hound, and Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast. Now, four more had arrived. Three of these four were mid-level pets, and only one was a low-level pet, making a total of seven.

This places extremely high demands on the mental strength of the pet trainer. If Su Ping hadn't died countless times in the training plane and hadn't honed his mental strength to a level far superior to that of an ordinary third-tier pet trainer, comparable to a fourth-tier pet trainer, he would probably be too tired to doze off by now.

"It seems that four at a time is the limit." Su Ping felt exhausted. Fortunately, there were only four fire-type pets. If it were five or six, he estimated that he would have to open another fire-type pet breeding plane separately.

After signing the contract, Su Ping sat on the floor of the pet room, brought up the breeding window, and quickly searched for the fire-type pet breeding plane. He then found a place called "Fragment of Star No. 9527" in the primary breeding plane. This was a fire-type breeding plane classification, and the energy required to enter was 5 points, which was considered mid-level in the primary breeding plane.

Su Ping immediately chose to enter.

A spatial vortex appeared in the pet room, like a miniature black hole, sucking Su Ping's body into it.

"The host has connected to Star Fragment No. 9527."

"Connectivity lasts 24 hours..."

"During the newbie protection period, the host will receive thirty free death attempts."

"Please explore on your own..."

A series of system notifications sounded, and before Su Ping even opened his eyes, he felt an intense heat all around him, as if his body were in a sea of ​​fire.

He opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by flames and lava. He seemed to be standing inside a volcano, surrounded by charred rocks flowing in waves of lava. As he suddenly landed, the rocks beneath his feet sank, causing the slowly flowing lava to surge and bubble with large amounts of carbon dioxide, making him dizzy.

"The environment is so harsh..." Su Ping was speechless. He looked around and saw that there seemed to be high mountains in the distance, with relatively little lava on them.

Su Ping summoned four pet beasts. None of these four pet beasts were flying pets; they were all land-based attackers. Fire-type pet beasts were quite popular in the academy, after all, they were the most explosive attack pet beasts among the elemental types. Whether the damage was high or not was another matter; at least the battle scenes were dazzling and amazing, which was most likely to attract some show-offs who were always by their side.

In the wilderness, fire-type pets are rare. These pets, which can easily cause a great commotion in battle, are like beacons in the dark. If used improperly, they can be digging your own grave.

Without a flying pet, Su Ping would have to rely on jumping to get across, but if the rocks he jumped over were brittle and shattered as soon as he landed, he would die instantly.

"With such a high temperature, if it weren't for my Golden Crow Divine Demon Body, I would probably have died as soon as I arrived. Are there any pets here?" Su Ping looked around. The system had mentioned before that some cultivation planes were abandoned and would result in death as soon as one entered. There were no living beings inside, so choosing a cultivation plane had to be done carefully.

"You guys, go swim around inside and take a look," Su Ping commanded the four fire-type pets.

The four pets looked at each other, swimming in lava? Although they were fire-type pets, they were not flames. They were also made of flesh and blood, just with a high concentration of fire element in their bodies. They would still be injured if attacked by flames that were too hot.

However, despite their reluctance, the four pets, under their master's command, slowly and tentatively reached out their paws to touch the lava on the edge of the rock.

Hiss!

The fur on its paws caught fire the moment it touched the flame.

The pets quickly withdrew their hands and looked at Su Ping pitifully.

Su Ping showed no mercy. After all, the number of times a pet could die was unlimited, as long as he didn't die, it was fine. He immediately kicked a Crimson Flame Hound in the rear, sending it flying into the lava.

"Woof woof woof..."
