Astral Pet Store - Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Buying the Streets

Qin Duhuang knew that Mu Beihai was the only one who would dare to challenge him in public. Before Su Ping could say anything, Qin Duhuang started. “Dude, you are advanced in age. Don’t you know a thing called ‘first come, first served’? Do you think Mr. Su is someone in want of money? Does he even need that pitiful billion? Or, are you implying that our Qin Family is too poor to give enough money?”

Mu Beihai wore an angry look. Of course, he knew that if they were bidding, the Qin family would be able to make a generous offer. But the Mu family was willing to go beyond that!

Forever No.2!

The Mu Family had ranked No.2 for years and years!

The Mu Family had finally begun to catch up with the Qin Family in recent times. If Qin Duhuang were to take the two pets away, then everything that the Mu Family had been striving for in the past decade would be for nothing! They would once again lag behind the Qin Family!

Therefore, he had to fight for the two battle

pets!

At the very least, he would have to get his hands on one of them.

“Mr. Su, I’m being sincere and honest with you. We are willing to buy the pets, whatever the cost. I know you have enough money… If you want something else, we can do that, too. We won’t make a less generous offer than what the Qin family has presented!” Mu Beihai didn’t argue with Qin Duhuang. He knew he should talk to Su Ping.

The battle pets were Su Ping’s. His decision mattered the most in the sale.

Qin Duhuang was surprised to see that Mu Beihai would go to such lengths.

Su Ping shook his head after hearing his plea. “Anyone who follows the store’s rules is a welcomed customer. All customers must follow the order! Qin was here first and he had paid for the pet. Therefore, the pet is his. Chance only favors the prepared minds. If you want the pets, come early next time.” Qin Duhuang heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that Su Ping was not tempted by Mu Beihai. The onlookers felt a surge of mixed feelings. That was to say, Su Ping was regarding them as equal to those big potatoes!

Zhou Tianlin and the family head of the Ye Family noticed the word “next time” which took them aback.

There would be… a next time?

Both gulped. They were very tempted. If Su Ping could sell pets like this once, he could do it another time, and another. That was nothing strange!

They thought of the legendary battle pet warrior inside Su Ping’s store. Catching beasts at the peak of the ninth rank alive was child’s play to a legendary battle pet warrior. No wonder Su Ping would put the pets on sale. For any other people, pets at the peak of the ninth rank would be hard to see. For Su Ping, all he had to do was to find those beasts and have them captured.

That was the charm of the legendary rank!

A rank higher but it meant a world of difference!

Zhou Tianlin and the family head of the Ye Family were itching to attain the legendary rank. Of course, they were aware that an itch could get them nowhere. They were not alone. All titled battle pet warriors were dreaming of reaching the legendary rank.

Mu Beihai was anxious but he didn’t say anything. It seemed that Su Ping was not going to be moved by his offers. Mu Beihai turned to Qin Duhuang and immediately noticed the latter’s expression. There was a grin that only Mu Beihai could understand!

Damn it!

Mu Beihai felt disappointed and angry.

When he first received the information, he assumed that Su Ping was up to something untoward, so he didn’t leave at once. At the moment, he wished he could slap himself in the face.

If he had been there first, he might have already pocketed both pets!

In that case, he would have been more powerful than before and could even be a true match to Qin Duhuang. That way, the Mu Family could soar and surpass the Qin Family!

A momentary slip and a world of difference!

Damn it! Damn it!

Mu Beihai pulled a long face. He hated himself, he hated the fact that the information was not delivered clearly enough and that Qin Duhuang had arrived that quickly.

He would be less mad if others would have bought the pets. Qin Duhuang was the sole person he wished to have never bought the

pets!

Since there was nothing Mu Beihai could do, Liu Tianzong knew he had also lost his chance. What was done couldn’t be undone. Liu Tianzong felt sorry that a chance for his family to get back on its feet had slipped past him right under his nose. He wished he could go back and cook his bird right away!

Why the hell couldn’t you fly faster?

Qin Duhuang’s friend had already signed a contract with the Abyss Spirit Feeder and stored it away.

Mu Beihai noticed this. So, Qin Duhuang didn’t get both pets. He also knew the old man, Qin Duhuang’s friend. A friend was a friend, not an actual member of the Qin Family. As such, Mu Beihai felt the outcome was not as hard to stomach.

“Thank you, Mr. Su,” Qin Duhuang expressed his gratitude again.

“If you want to thank me, remember to find the materials I need,” Su Ping answered calmly.

Qin Duhuang remembered the list of materials that Su Ping had told all the major families to find for him. Qin Duhuang nodded at once. “I’m searching for the materials via every means we have in the Qin family. I’m sure we will receive an update soon enough.”

That conversation inspired Mu Beihai and Zhou Tianlin. Su Ping didn’t want money but he needed special materials. They could find a way to be closer to Su Ping by getting him those materials. That way, they might later gain special advantages, when a good chance popped up again in the future. They all promised that they would do their best to find those things.

Su Ping nodded and thanked each of them. Selling the two pets had covered some of his losses, and at the same time he could urge the family heads to work harder to find materials he needed for the Solar Bulwark. All in all, it had been a good deal.

Xu Yingxue was still standing by the door; she witnessed the entire process, much to her dismay and disappointment. She didn’t know that those family heads would show up so quickly. Her captain would arrive too late to the party.

Standing next to her was Tang Ruyan who was also stunned. She didn’t expect that Su Ping would really sell the pets; even the Tang Family would cherish them. The elders in high positions would even fight to get those pets. However, Su Ping sold them at an outrageously low price.

When did the guy start to do charity?

“Sir…”

Zhong Lingtong was still dazed and confused.

My teacher just sold the two pets like that? For real?

She had never heard about such actions, not even in the Holy Light Base City. That was beyond logic!

But why would my teacher sell the pets at such a low price? Zhong Lingtong wondered. All of a sudden, Qin Duhuang thought of something. He said goodbye to Su Ping and turned around to leave.

Right then, a car drove by the street.

The onlookers were startled by the license plate. They stepped to the sides because that was the mayor’s car!

The car pulled over to the side and Xie Jinshui got out of the vehicle. The heavy crowds and the presence of Qin Duhuang, Mu Beihai, and the others surprised Xie Jinshui. Once again, the most powerful battle pet warriors of the Longjiang Base City were gathered in that small place.

Those people together could turn the world upside down in the base city!

“Mr. Su!”

The first thing that Xie Jinshui did was to greet Su Ping. He didn’t even talk to Qin Duhuang and the other family heads first. Xie Jinshui was smart enough to know that Su Ping was the most important guy in all of the Longjiang Base City. “Sir.” Su Ping didn’t expect that even the mayor would have heard about it.

“Is this the pet you put on sale?” Xie Jinshui noticed the Fierce Fire Ape. He was immediately able to tell how powerful the pet was.

Su Ping nodded. “Both have already been sold. Sir, you’ll have to wait till next time if you want to get one.”

“Both?”

Xie Jinshui could not believe that Su Ping was selling two at a time.

From the report he received, he knew that Su Ping was selling pets but the report didn’t specify how many. The old man who had bought the Abyss Spirit Feeder smiled a smug smile. “Brother Xie, I got the other one.”

Xie Jinshui, naturally, knew that old man.

Xie Jinshui had also noticed the sour-faced Mu Beihai, Liu Tianzong and the rest. The former could understand what had happened. “Man, you got a good deal. Not even our local people had a chance.” Xie Jinshui produced a forced smile.

“I got lucky.”

The old man smiled happily. Making that trip to the Longjiang Base City was the best decision he had made. He was even wondering if he should bring his family over and live in the Longjiang Base City permanently from then on.

“It seems that I am late.” Xie Jinshui didn’t hide his intention of purchasing the pet.

No one would believe anyone who claimed to have no interest in such a pet.

“Sir, you have come at a perfect time!”

The sour-faced Mu Beihai suddenly shouted. “I’m buying this street and the area extending five thousand meters from this point!”
