Astral Pet Store

Chapter 692 - Have To!

Chapter 692 Have To!

Xue Yunzhen and Xiang Fengran shouted at Ye Wuxiu, “Damn it, Surprise Package, you are shameless!” It was indeed a blatant excuse for Ye Wuxiu to say he would be dealing with more beasts.

Jing Shen didn’t seem to be as surprised; he just shook his head disapprovingly.

“Sure.”

Su Ping knew that Xue Yunzhen and Xiang Fengran had given up when he noticed they were merely shouting at Ye Wuxiu and calling him shameless but made no further offers.

Indeed, that Water Swallowing Snake was a good match for Ye Wuxiu.

“I will sell it to you. I don’t need any treasures or anything; this battle pet sells at 328 million. Do you have money?”

“Money?”

Ye Wuxiu didn’t know that Su Ping would be asking for money. That was not something he had. He stayed underground all year round. Where would he get money? What would he use the money for?

The other legendary and titled battle pet warriors found that mind-blowing. Such a battle pet being sold at such a price. He was giving it out for free!

“Well, I don’t have any money...” Ye Wuxiu said embarrassingly.

The other legendary battle pet warriors looked at each other. They, too, didn’t have any money.

Su Ping felt sorry. Huh, a bunch of poor people. But that bunch of poor people had protected the world. No money could buy that. Suddenly, a man stuttered, “Sir, I, I have money.”

It was a strong guy, a titled battle pet warrior. The man trembled as he finished his piece.

Standing in front of a legendary battle pet warrior was stressful enough, not to mention a dozen. The man was afraid he might have been too rash, and that it could get him killed.

Ye Wuxiu’s eyes glowed. He dashed to the strong man and laughed. “Good, I’m glad you have money. Let me borrow some money, I can give you many artifacts. You can choose anything you like. I promise you that your strength will increase!”

The strong man shivered when Ye Wuxiu moved closer to him. He knew he had made the right choice after hearing Ye Wuxiu’s response!

“Sir, sir, you’re welcome. Here. This is my card; I have 1.3 billion in it.” The strong man gave an overly cautious smile, but he did take out his card with a fast speed.

Ye Wuxiu patted the man’s shoulder and dashed back to Su Ping. “Brother Su, do it!”

Su Ping took the card and handed it to Tang Ruyan. “Swipe it.”

Tang Ruyan finished the transaction and Su Ping saw the balance of energy points increasing. He nodded to Ye Wuxiu and said, “Go and sign the contract. By the way, you cannot cancel the contract within 10 years. You can come and present your case if you have a special reason to do so.” That was done to prevent reselling. Ye Wuxiu laughed, “No, I won’t do that. This is a great battle pet, one of the best I now have. I won’t cancel the contract.” He ran to the Water Swallowing Snake and went through the contract process.

There was a trace of Ye Wuxiu’s presence in the Water Swallowing Snake’s energy when the contract was finally established. The human and the pet formed a bond.

Their legendary battle pet warriors looked at the Water Swallowing Snake with envy but they did not say anything. Indeed, that battle pet was a good match for Ye Wuxiu.

“Next is a Black Mountain Ape,” Su Ping said.

An ape that was over a dozen meters tall came out. Its fur was all black; it had four arms with sharp and crooked nails. There were strange patterns on its palms, which were manifestations of nature’s rules.

Phew!

The Black Mountain Ape eyed the nearby legendary battle pet warriors with irritation. It seemed that the ape could launch a strike at any time.

The legendary battle pet warriors were dumbstruck.

A second one?

“Who wants this one? The price is similar,” Su Ping said.

His words dragged everyone back from their stupor. Xue Yunzhen shouted at once, “Me! I want it! No matter how much money you want!”

“Pss, do you even have money? I want this. This battle pet and I are destined to be together. Look, it’s gazing at me. This is called love at first sight!” Jing Shen snorted. Xiang Fengran sneered. “That is a glare. I suggest you stay away; the battle pet might smash you to death.”

Ye Wuxiu, who had just put away the Water Swallowing Snake, cleared his throat and said, “Well, this battle pet is a match for me...” But before he could finish, the others cried at once.

“Get out of here!”

Seriously. You just got that Water Swallowing Snake. Another one?

Su Ping thought about it and said, “Don’t fight, I still have five more. The allocation goes by the basic ‘first come, first served.’ Since Miss Xue spoke first, this ape will be hers.”

Five more?

Both the legendary and the titled warriors were frozen on the spot.

What’s with this pet store? He’s not only selling one of those pets but seven!

Xue Yunzhen didn’t expect that Su Ping would pick her. Gladly, she nodded and said, “Yes, yes, first come, first served!”

Xiang Fengran came back to his senses. He darted a glare at Ye Wuxiu. Why didn’t Su Ping mention this rule just now? Otherwise, the Water Swallowing Snake would have been his. But he still had a chance since Su Ping had five more.

Five more... Were this store owner’s battle pets even more powerful than the two he sold?

The others had realized that Su Ping had not said anything about ‘first come, first served’ just then.

“Who has money and wants to lend me some?” Xue Yunzhen smiled at the group of titled battle pet warriors.

The titled battle pet warriors vied with one another to give her money.

To be able to lend money to a legendary battle pet warrior was more difficult than borrowing money from a legendary battle pet warrior!

That was a great chance to foster some relationships!

The legendary battle pet warriors were speechless after seeing the ecstatic mood of those titled warriors. The titled warriors were fighting for a chance to give out money and they were fighting for Su Ping’s battle pets.

Xue Yunzhen soon got a hold of the money. Visibly gloating, she returned to where Su Ping was and gave the card to Tang Ruyan. The second one was gone. Su Ping sold the third one... the fourth one...

Soon, all seven battle pets were gone. He made over two billion in total, which was equivalent to twenty million energy points!

Finally, he was able to upgrade the store after selling the remaining pets.

He had 160 million energy points in total. He would still have 60 million after the upgrade!

Each of the four captains, including Ye Wuxiu, were able to get one battle pet; as to the other three, he sold them to Li Yuanfeng, Mo, and the man from the Han family. The other legendary battle pet warriors were jealous. Why didn’t Su Ping enter through their appointed fields when he went to the Deep Caves?

The captains were lighting up with pleasure. Su Ping decided he didn’t have to visit a cultivation site for the moment; he had to think about the wild beasts.

Two continents were gone overnight; the wild beasts were coming and with full force. Maybe the Subcontinent District would be the next victim after a day or two passed.

“system, upgrade the store,” Su Ping said inwardly. “Are you sure?” “Yes.”

-100 million energy points!

The 1 in the balance was gone, leaving only the

6.

He had 60 million energy points left.

Without further hesitation, he said to the legendary battle pet warrior, “Please come with me.”

The store was under upgrade. He would borrow the buildings of the five families across the street.

The titled battle pet warriors of the Qin family who were peeping through the windows were startled. More than a dozen legendary battle pet warriors were going to their place so that they could discuss?

“Okay.”

The legendary battle pet warriors nodded in agreement.

First, Su Ping had fended off Xiang Fengran’s strike. Second, he sold outstanding battle pets. The legendary battle pet warriors, even the captains, had started to respect Su Ping. They believed that his battle pets would be even more outstanding “Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhou, come along,” Su Ping said to Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin.

Qin Duhuang nodded with a smile. Watching a bunch of legendary battle pet warriors contending over the battle pets was amusing. Qin Duhuang enjoyed the privilege to pick before those legendary battle pet warriors showed up. Alas, being Su Ping’s neighbor is a real hassle.

The other legendary battle pet warriors looked at Qin and Zhou but remained silent.

They went to the Qin family’s building and the crowd filled up the lobby. The three titled battle pet warriors of the Qin family moved gingerly, helped move chairs, serve water and tea. They were acting as if they were the servants.

“Brother Su, how are things on the surface?” Li Yuanfeng was the first to ask. He wasn’t a man of patience.

Ye Wuxiu and the others did not feel anything strange that Li Yuanfeng spoke before them. After all, Li Yuanfeng wasn’t weaker than them.

Su Ping looked at Qin Duhuang, signaling him to answer the question. After all, Qin Duhuang and Xie Jinshui would stay in contact at all times and his information was the most accurate.

Qin Duhuang stood up and said, “Here’s the thing. News arrived at around 1 am; we heard that the Nordic Continent was destroyed. We heard that the West Ocean Continent was destroyed at around 4 am. The people of the Dragon Swamp Continent are relocating...”

Qin Duhuang was not nervous at all, even while standing in front of more than a dozen legendary battle pet warriors, even though the ones at the Void State did seem to be frightening. However, he would not be any weaker than those people who were unable to get any of the eight battle pets he bought from Su Ping. That was why Qin Duhuang was able to stay confident.

Soon after, the legendary battle pet warriors had gained a complete understanding of the global situation.

A grave silence fell.

They didn’t know that the two continents were gone.

Overnight...

Nearly half of the Blue Planet’s population was gone!

“Damn it. What is Gu Siping doing!”

“We have reported the deal in the Deep Caves a long time ago. He should be prepared. How could he have allowed this to happen?!”

Xue Yunzhen and Xiang Fengran pulled long faces. They called the Tower Master by his name to show their dissatisfaction.

Two continents had been lost, one after the other. The wild beasts might be intimidating but the other reason was that the Tower was unprepared. Otherwise, the Tower should be able summon reinforcements in time.

“The Dragon Swamp Continent is also falling to pieces. Can we make it in time?”

“If we go now, we can. I have my Wind Feather Eagle with me. We can get there in 15 minutes!”

“It’ll be too late. It will be when we get there.” Ye Wuxiu frowned. No one else said a thing.

Su Ping thought about it and said, “Listen.”

He became the center of attention. Even though they had just met him, they could not ignore him.

“I suggest that we split up. Some of us will go and help the Dragon Swamp Continent. The others will find hideouts of wild beasts at the Subcontinent District. We will kill and eliminate those wild beats before they can gather. That way we’ll have less pressure when the rest of the beasts arrive. Otherwise, I’m afraid...” Su Ping didn’t finish his sentence, but the others could indeed understand it.

While Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng talked on the phone, they overheard that Su Ping had seen eight beasts at the Fate State in the Deep Caves. They had no idea how many had already gone to the surface.

But there was something they were sure of: the demise of the two continents was partly due to the wild beasts from the ocean. The largest group of wild beasts above ground were from the ocean, and there surely were Fate State beast kings among them.

They knew one beast king known as the Ocean Emperor, one that was able to command all wild beasts in the ocean!

Not only was the Ocean Emperor at the Fate State, it was an outstanding one. Not even the other Fate beast kings could beat it!

There were also the four Heavenly Kings...

Even the legendary battle pet warriors from the Deep Caves felt troubled. What a disaster!

But... could they retreat?

They had that hopeful wish, but there was no way back for them.

They had to fight!

Even though their chances were meager, they had gone through enough hopeless situations after spending their lives in the Deep Caves; they were people of courage and righteousness.

However the situation was like, just keep fighting!

Desperation? That was useless to them!

“That is the only way.”

Jing Shen heaved a sigh.

Xiang Fengran nodded and said to Su Ping, “I want to go to the Dragon Swamp Continent. You stay here and find beasts hiding in the Subcontinent District.”

“Can you do it?” Xue Yunzhen frowned. She was worried.

Xiang Fengran burst into laughter. “Bitch, don’t ask a man if he can do it. The answer is yes! It has to be yes! No other answer!”

“You... Black Lunatic, don’t call me bitch!” Xue Yunzhen shouted. She added, “Run if you encounter Fate State beasts and you cannot win. Don’t push yourself too hard.” She gazed at him with concern.

“Of course, anyone compelled to fight a Fate State beast king is stupid.” Xiang Fengran smiled. “Do you want to go with me?” He asked the three standing with him.

“Of course. We will always go with our captain!”

“We have been fighting together for over three hundred years. We certainly have to fight this last battle together!”

“Bah, don’t say such unlucky words. Boss, let’s go!”
