Astral Pet Store

Chapter 476 The Unconventional Man

The bird was a Blue-feathered Crested Eagle at the upper position of the ninth rank! Those that had recognized the huge bird were stunned. The person who could ride on such a bird had to be a titled battle pet warrior!

It was definitely not your average Joe!

Whoosh!

A man jumped off from the bird and following him was another man. Both were titled battle pet warriors. They dived down from the sky and as they approached the ground, then slowed down drastically. The wind stirred up dust off the ground as the two old men landed softly.

It was Qin Duhuang, the current family head of the Qin family. The other one was his old friend. He had at one time been a famous titled battle pet warrior, but began to enjoy touring scenic spots in his senior years. He recently happened to stop by the Longjiang Base City and decided to go and have a chat with his friend Qin Duhuang.

“Mr. Su!”

Qin Duhuang flashed a smile and greeted Su Ping as soon as his feet were on the ground. “I was in a hurry. Sorry about the disturbance.”

With that said, a swirl appeared above his head and the Blue-feathered Crested Eagle went back.

Qin Duhuang’s friend was surprised as he looked at Su Ping. He had heard from Qin Duhuang about this store after having stayed in the Longjiang Base City for a couple of days. Was this young man the one who had forced the Star Organization to compromise, and also made a clean sweep of the Tang Family?

Was this the store where a legendary battle pet warrior was residing?

Qin Duhuang’s friend didn’t show his confusion and questions. Following Qin Duhuang’s lead, he also waved his hand and greeted Su Ping, treating the latter as an equal.

“It’s okay.”

Su Ping nodded.

Qin Duhuang darted a look to the side after all the niceties were exchanged. He had noticed the two ferocious beasts while he was still riding on the Blue-feathered Crested Eagle. One look and he could tell that both beasts were at the peak of the ninth rank.

The overwhelming energy from the two beasts even made him feel pressured. He assumed that the two beasts were not common!

Since he had confirmed that the report he received was true, Qin Duhuang became even more excited. After taking one more look, he asked, “Mr. Su, I heard that you are selling the two beasts. Is this true?”

“Yes.”

Su Ping nodded.

Qin Duhuang felt his heart skip a beat and his friend was surprised yet again. Qin Duhuang hurried to his second question, “Anything special about the sale? Can I buy one?”

“Anyone who can control the beasts can buy them,” Su Ping stated.

Being supervised by the system at all times, he wasn’t at liberty to pick customers. He could still refuse those unable to control the two beasts. But anyone with enough ability was allowed to buy them. First come, first served.

Also, Su Ping didn’t plan on picking customers, to begin with. If he wanted, he could employ some special means to get the customer he liked to get there first before he put the two beasts on display. That way, that specific customer would have been able to place an order first.

He didn’t want to get involved in such trickery; at the very least, he would have to wait until he had beast kings on sale.

Beast kings were quite different from the other beasts. Each beast king was like a nuclear bomb.

He would prefer to sell beast kings to people he was familiar with. If a stranger bought a beast king, what if that person decided to misuse the pet to stage battles everywhere? That would be an ugly scene.

Both Qin Duhuang and his friend found it hard to believe.

Anyone who could control the beasts was allowed to buy them?

Finally, Qin Duhuang understood why his man had called him in such a rush and even sounded disrespectful. It turned out that Su Ping was putting a pile of gold up for grabs on the street. Phew. A close one. Nothing would have been left for him if he were late.

“Mr. Su, I want one!” Qin Duhuang shouted at once.

“Me, too!” His friend did not hesitate, either.

Qin Duhuang was unhappy but he didn’t show it. He regretted taking his old buddy along. If he hadn’t, he could have bought two for himself!

Of course, since his friend had said so, Qin Duhuang couldn’t stop him.

To turn hostile towards an old friend over a pet at the peak of the ninth rank was not worthwhile and would not look good.

One should cherish one’s long-time friend which was hard to find.

Qin Duhuang’s friend was relieved to see that Qin Duhuang said nothing to stop him. He knew he was somewhat crossing the line a little bit. He had only benefited from association with Qin Duhuang.

“Sure.”

Su Ping nodded. “Get your money ready.”

Qin Duhuang was about to ask about the price when he heard a whooshing sound coming from afar. Another huge bird was coming. That one was also at the upper position of the ninth rank, just as powerful as the Blue-feathered Crested Eagle.

Whoosh!

A person jumped off from the bird. It was Zhou Tianlin.

Before he had reached the door, Zhou Tianlin’s voice had arrived first. “Hold on!”

Once he landed, Zhou Tianlin looked at the two violent beasts by the door. The energy from the beasts seemed to be from the ancient past. He was even more anxious. “Mr. Su, can I buy the two pets? I can give you one billion!”

The onlookers gathered on the street were stunned dumb by the offered amount.

One billion?!

That was a sum of money that many of them would never be able to make in their entire lives.

Qin Duhuang pulled a long face. He turned around and glared at Zhou Tianlin. Qin Duhuang was about to show his teeth when he thought of Su Ping; he calmed down once he thought of the store owner.

Zhou Tianling was making a higher offer to compete with him. Qin Duhuang was worried that Su Ping would be mad with him if he were to force Zhou Tiantin to back down.

Qin Duhuang turned back to Su Ping and said, “Mr. Su, my friend and I together will offer you 1.5 billion!”

That offer threw the onlookers into another sensation.

That was 0.5 billion more!

Not five coins, but five hundred million, which was more than enough to buy 10 streets from the vicinity!

Whoosh!

Right then, another noise came from the sky.

This time, it was the family head of the Ye family.

“Fancy seeing all of you here.” He raised his eyebrows. He thought he had been fast enough and yet he was still slower than Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin.

Zhou Tianlin was far from glad. Ever since Su Ping broke into his family, he knew more than anyone how terrifying Su Ping was; therefore, he left for Su Ping’s store the moment he received the information. Zhou Tianlin was sure that the information couldn’t be wrong. Unbelievable as it might sound, Zhou Tianlin was certain that Su Ping was able to do such a thing.

This young man is a weirdo, a freak!

“Are those two the pets?” The family head of the Ye family had a change of expression when he saw the Fierce Fire Ape and the Abyss Spirit Feeder. The two beasts were dangerous.

He said to Su Ping at once, “Mr. Su, the Ye family wants the two pets. You can name the price as you like!”

Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin were not happy. Was Su Ping going to let them bid for the two pets right there?

They saw that Su Ping had turned deathly pale.

What’s with that face? Su Ping took a deep breath. Instead of answering the questions, he was scolding the system, “Listen! Will you listen to this? Isn’t your heart aching?”

“Nope.” The system’s answer was brief.

“You have no heart, let alone heartache to speak of!” Su Ping was filing his teeth.

The system’s answer was, “No. It’s because the pets are not mine, but yours. So, I don’t get troubled.”

Su Ping: “!!”

What the...

Su Ping felt his heart had been crushed into pieces. Those offers didn’t make him happy. If anything, they made him feel even more frustrated

Su Ping took another deep breath in. “I have announced the price. Each pet will be sold at around sixty million, not one penny less, not one penny more!” His face was still clouded. In the past, he would have wanted to make more money if he could, even when said money couldn’t be converted into energy points. However, he was no longer in need of money after having gained half of the Liu family’s assets and a large pile of treasures. He had so much money that he didn’t bother to check and was too lazy to care.

Anyway, as long as he stayed away from gambling, he would never exhaust the money he had.

After all, there were few places that he had to spend money on.

He had become disinterested in money. Of course, the kind of money he couldn’t convert into energy points.

“Sixty million?”

No one could believe this.

How mind-blowing.

The onlookers thought that the previous offers were astounding enough. But the store boss was even more so. He didn’t even care about money!

He insisted on setting the price at sixty million and was unwilling to take the rest. Why? He’s giving the pets away!

For a moment, the onlookers thought they had seen some sort of truth about Su Ping.

It turned out that he wasn’t running a store for money, but as a hobby.

Right. He was a person at the peak of the titled rank who could also smash the protective seal with one punch at the Elite League. Why would he open a store just for money?

The onlookers felt Su Ping was different from the rest.

Unconventional and free from vulgarity!
