Astral Pet Store - Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Chaotic Pool of Incubation

“Can you cook?” Su Ping asked Zhong Lingtong. Zhong Lingtong did not expect that question. Cooking?

“Well, I’ve never tried that. But I am a good eater…” the girl answered in a low voice. She secretly stole a glance at Su Ping, wondering if her answer could make her teacher happy.

Eater… Su Ping curled his lips. Never mind. He had thought that she could help around the house. As for teaching her training skills, that was not the task for the moment.

His intention in taking the girl to the Longjiang Base City was to get to know her conduct first.

As for teaching… If he was willing, he was able to turn Zhong Lingtong into a top trainer right that moment, and that was not an exaggeration! His training skills involved the rules of thunder, Strength Enhancement and the Enlightening Guide. He could impart all of this information to her on the spot!

Like what he did with the beasts.

To quote the system’s words, everything was a pet and everything could be trained!

Since the beasts could be trained as pets, humans could, too. In a broader sense, humans and beasts were all living creatures of the same kind.

Su Ping could train Zhong Lingtong as he trained beasts. For example, he could impart the rules of thunder to her. In that way, she would be able to use the rules of thunder to train pets. At the very least, she could pass the seventh-rank test and get her credentials as a master trainer in one go!

Therefore, teaching Zhong Lingtong was nothing hard. It was a question of when he would do that.

He took a student so that he could have an inside connection with the Trainers Association. In other words, the most important thing for a student to have was loyalty. For starters, she would have to show gratitude. That was the hurdle that Su Ping had designed for Zhong Lingtong; it would be up to her to see if she could pass this test.

“I have something to take care of. Make yourself at home.” Su Ping left Zhong Lingtong downstairs and he went up to his room. He sat down before his computer and found an envelope in his desk drawer; it only had a few words written on it.

“For the bad guy.”

Su Ping was speechless. That little proud girl would simply not call him brother, not even when she was leaving.

Su Ping opened the envelope and read carefully. He finished a few minutes later. Even though she tried to make it sound easy, Su Ping could still tell that the Elite League had left a mark on her. His first intention was to train her well, but he changed his mind after the incident with Yan Bingyue.

But not Su Lingyue.

She was still on her journey to make herself stronger.

Su Ping folded the letter and placed it back in the envelope. He would keep the letter in his drawer.

He sat there quietly for two minutes before he left his room. In the living room, Zhong Lingtong was at a loss about what to do. Since she was feeling quite uncomfortable there, Su Ping told her to go to the store with him. He could ask her to help out in the store during this time.

Half an hour after he went back to the store, the fact that he had returned was made known to all major families. All of them had set up a special team to keep an eye on the Pixie Pet Store. After all, none of the families could afford to upset the store in any way while a legendary battle pet warrior was in the store.

Even a sneeze from the legendary battle pet warrior would mean a great disaster for them.

Soon, all the major families sent over representatives to the Pixie Pet Store to bear gifts.

Su Ping was at the moment going through the sales reports and the pets in the store; he didn’t like being disturbed. Those people were not going to buy anything and the gifts couldn’t be converted into energy points, and that is why Su Ping told Tang Ruyan to close the door at once.

Naturally, he was aware of what the major families were up to. They were being too careful.

He would never make trouble proactively as long as people didn’t offend him first. After all, he was a kind person at heart…

The world quieted down after the doors were closed. Su Ping focused his mind on counting the pets in the store. He also said hello to Joanna whom he hadn’t seen for a couple of days.

Joanna would never change. She never treated anyone with excitement.

Su Ping had long grown accustomed to that. He read the account books and looked at the number of energy points. Alas, what a beautiful world.

He had 8.89 million energy points!

He could use the incubation pool eight times in a row!

Each usage would cost him one million energy points, which was equal to one hundred million astral coins!

That also equaled the money needed for a one-time training of an advanced pet!

Of course, compared to the money spent, using the incubation pool was a good deal. There was a good chance that a beast king could be bred with a fourth-level incubation pool!

Su Ping had yet to use the pool since he upgraded it!

He didn’t use it because he was worried about not having enough energy points. But things were different at the moment. He could use it eight times and he believed that he would be successful at least one time!

Su Ping went to the room which was closed all year round. He was the only one who had full access to the many rooms in the building. Not even Joanna could do that unless he gave her authorization.

He closed the door and stepped to the center of the room. Under his feet was the starry sky and floating in the sky was the incubation pool that was like a dried-up well.

He felt nervous every time he entered the room.

He took a deep breath and prayed to god and Budhha and everyone he could think of before he got started.

“Confirm?”

“Yes…”

“Minus one million…”

Su Ping felt his heart ache as the number jumped down from 8.89 million to 7.89 million. Still, he focused his sight on the incubation pool.

There was a gentle, orange glow over the pool. Some ancient looking grains were moving around. A moment later, the glow disappeared and overwhelming energy began to seep out from the pool. The next second, a figure that was over ten meters tall came out.

It was a beast that looked like an ape with a strong body, golden hair, and flame-like eyebrows. It seemed that the beast had a short temper. Su Ping could not believe it.

It was a beast… that had already reached adulthood.

He never thought that the pool would produce an adult beast.

That didn’t seem to be a beast king, but merely at the peak of the ninth rank.

Even so, Su Ping could tell that the beast was horrifying. There was something about the beast that made him feel that… it didn’t belong to this age!

Roar!

The ape-like beast growled as it stood above the pool.

The system’s voice jumped out, “Congratulations for obtaining this Fierce Fire Ape that comes from the medieval times!”

It sounded serious but Su Ping felt that the system was gloating.

“Why isn’t it an egg or an infant?” Su Ping had to ask.

He had wanted to have an adult beast bred out of the pool to keep up with the appearances, back when he had just taken over the store. And yet, he could only get things like the Little Skeleton or the Purple Python’s egg.

He was finally OK with an infant, but he received that adult beast instead.

He thought he would only get infants and eggs.

“Things are random with the Incubation Pool, including the beast’s realm. You may also get a beast with above-average aptitude.” The system made it sound quite appealing.

The system… is trying to trick me into spending all my energy points.

Su Ping filed his teeth.

Of course, he was aware that the system was quite serious in this regard. Since the system had explained this, he knew that it was indeed just a matter of probability.

“For how much can the Fierce Fire Ape be sold?” Su Ping asked. The beast was at the peak of the ninth rank. To train it was not worth it. He wanted to know if selling it would make up for the money he had spent.
