Cultivation Pet Shop

269 Chapter 269



269 Chapter 269

"Congratulations host, you have unlocked a secret mission."

Lin Fan couldn't believe what he heard as he looked at the screen that had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"How can a pet shop refuse to sell pets? It is your duty to provide the people with pets that they can grow stronger with and love."

"Please provide pets to all the poor citizens of Rock Mountain City that just want a pet of their own to love."

"Pets of adequate level provided: 0/1000"

Lin Fan's face couldn't help turning dark when he finished reading what was written on the screen.

Was the system kidding?

It wanted him to provide pets for people to love?

What kind of a world was this where people loved their pets?

In this world, all pets meant strength and the stronger one's pets were, the stronger they would be.

Loving and caring for your pet was only secondary, it was all for the purpose of gaining more strength.

Yet the system was telling him to sell pets for people to love and care for?

Still, that wasn't the part that had moved him, it was actually the second part which contained the rewards and punishments that had moved him.

"Reward for completing the mission: Small Gift Bag."

"Punishment for failing the mission: Shocked to death."

Lin Fan's face had turned even darker when he had saw what his punishment would be.

Lin Fan couldn't help saying in his mind, "System, you can't just keep threatening me with death for every mission! That isn't the right way to motivate me!"

"Host, please do not question the system. First warning."

But Lin Fan wouldn't back down just yet, "System, I'm tired of this. You really think that I'll be motivated to do the mission just because of this?"

"Host, please do not question the system. Second warning."

Of course, Lin Fan no longer pushed after that. He just wanted to complain a bit to the system since he knew that if he kept pushing he would receive another punishment.

It had been quite a while since Lin Fan had received a punishment. After being with the system for a while, he had been testing how far he could push the system and how long it would take for each warning to wear off.

He had found that it would take an hour for the system to take off each warning.

But Lin Fan still fell into thought after receiving the mission from the system since after all, he didn't have enough resources.

He had opened up the fourth cultivation realm farm, but that meant that he only had enough resources for three stores and barely enough to keep the fourth store running while eating into his storage. Or at least that would be the case if he were able to sell his pet food.

But he wasn't worried about that since he was sure that he would be able to sell his pet food in the future.

Still, there was another big issue with this since he still needed a stable supply of pet eggs to be able to breed suitable pets to sell.

Suitable pets for the system were those with Silver Realm bloodlines or up, which meant that anything that was under that wouldn't be considered eligible for his mission progress.

Moreover, when he incubated pets, the bloodlines that they received were all completely random, so there was no telling how many eggs he would need. He could need the minimum of a thousand eggs if he was lucky, but if he wasn't, he might need over ten thousand eggs just to breed all the pets that he needed.

Right now, it would be hard for him to find a stable supply of pet eggs.

The only store that was currently selling pets was the main store in Snow Wind City. He had been able to get a stable supply of pet eggs from the Monster Trainer Union in Water Pearl City for helping with the planar crack, but that supply was only enough to maintain the pet sales in the main shop.

But that supply was also just enough to supply the main shop.

Right now he was already at the max amount of eggs he could get from the Monster Trainer Union and there was no other way for him to get a stable supply.

The only way he would be able to solve this was to throw as much money as he could at it and have his company buy as many eggs as possible without care of price at first before slowly locating a stable supply. However, if he were to do this, it would be a major drain on his finances.

While one would think that he would be able to recoup that by selling the pets in the store, that wouldn't be the case since the system still took 99% of the earnings from the store.

This meant that Lin Fan would lack the finances he would need to build his own force and intelligence network that he had been doing for a while now.

Still, the Small Gift Bag from the system was very tempting.

Up to this point, the rewards from the store had

never let him down, especially his first one. He had been relying a lot on the body that had been tempered from the Nine True Sun Body Art to use most of his abilities. If he were able to get something similar to this from this Small Gift Bag, it would more than make up for this.

So after weighing all the pros and cons in his mind, Lin Fan didn't immediately accept as he asked, "Who do you need me to supply these pets for?"

Qiang You had thought that Lin Fan wasn't interested at first since there was that dark look on his face and that long moment of silence he had taken, but when he heard these words, his eyes lit up. It meant that there was still a chance.

Qiang You quickly said, "Naturally I'm looking for pets for the Seeker Union. I can guarantee that we will pay top prices for the pets that you offer as long as they are of decent quality."

Lin Fan shook his head after he heard this, "That's not possible, my store doesn't supply any certain power with anything. We are just a simple pet shop and we do business fairly."

Qiang You slightly knit his brows when he heard this, "Owner Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Fan calmly said, "I can sell you pets, but that doesn't mean I'll be your exclusive dealer. I run a fair business, so the prices will be fixed and the products will be offered to everyone, do you understand?"

Qiang You still knit his brows for a bit before suddenly revealing a smile like he had understood something, "Of course, of course, that's not a problem."

Qiang You had thought that this was Lin Fan's way of protecting himself since if he were to ally himself with the Seeker Union, the Jiang Family would naturally become suspicious. There was nothing that was completely hidden in this world and if they had something to start from, the Jiang Family would naturally find Lin Fan's involvement in the past raids.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Fan had been completely shut down by the system.

"Host, you are not allowed to privately make a deal to sell pets to private sellers. Please sell all pets according to the prices of the shop."

Lin Fan really wanted to curse the system and complain, but he also remembered that he currently had two warnings…

Qiang You immediately reached his hand out as he said with a smile, "Owner Lin, it's a deal."

Lin Fan looked at his hand, but he didn't take it as he looked back at Qiang You with just a single raised brow, "Do you really think that was it? Do you think that I would just agree to your demands because you threatened me?"

Qiang You's smile became awkward and he slowly took back his hand to scratch his head as he tried explaining, "Of course not, of course not. Owner Lin, you have to know that those threats were just to get your attention, nothing more. You know that our Seeker Union isn't…"

But Lin Fan suddenly raised a hand to stop him as he said, "Enough, I don't need your life story."

Qiang You awkwardly stood there not knowing what to say.

Lin Fan put down his hand and said, "I have a few conditions of my own and as long as you agree to them, there's no problem selling pets."

Qiang You just gave an enthusiastic nod as he said, "No problem. Owner Lin, please tell me what conditions you have and I'll do my best to fulfil them."

Lin Fan said, "First, I want to make sure that you'll never reveal what happened to the Jiang Family businesses to the Jiang Family."

Qiang You nodded quickly, "Of course, of course."

Lin Fan continued, "Second, I want information on Rock Mountain City. I'll give you a list of what I want."

Qiang You was taken aback, but then he nodded again, "Sure, sure, no problem."

Lin Fan then said, "Third, I want…"

This time Qiang You didn't agree that quickly as he suddenly revealed a shocked look before saying with a difficult expression, "Owner Lin, can we discuss this? This is a very important thing that you're asking."

Lin Fan just shook his head, "It's now or never."

After hesitating a bit, Qiang You gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I promise you this."

Lin Fan nodded before reaching out his hand with his usual smile, "Good, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Qiang You had a bitter smile as he reached out his hand and shook Lin Fan's hand before saying, "Why does it feel like I'm making a deal with the devil?"
