nChapter 547 Third-level Store

nWhile the upgrade was taking place, Su Ping thought he could spend this time in pet training

nMost of the cultivation sites he had picked this time were related to divinities.

nHe had promised Dusk—who had recently taught him the Sin Cutter—to find that goddess for him.

nThe divinities usually enjoyed complex environments that were rich in many elements. Apart from creatures like the Little Skeleton, all the other creatures could be trained in such divinities.

nOne day passed in reality.

nBut Su Ping had spent 10 days in a divinity realm.

nThe four battle pets he had taken with him had grown to have above-average aptitude; a few more days and the four battle pets’ training would be completed.

nThe Divine Energy is fusing better and better with the Sin Cutter.

nSu Ping had been absorbing Divine Energy during the past ten days, and was also attempting to use the Divine Energy when he performed the Sin Cutter attack to increase the strength of the latter.

nIt was a good idea, but he didn’t get off to a good start.

nThe Ashura energy repelled the Divine Energy. The two opposing types of energy had torn him apart before he even drew his sword.

nAfter dozens of deaths and many attempts during the ten days, finally, he was able to add some Divine Energy when he used the Sin Cutter.

nJust like he had hoped, the skill became more powerful than before. But he would have to make more attempts to improve upon the integration.

nThe upgrade had been completed by the time he returned to his store.

nSu Ping pulled up a visual of the entire store area.

nThe 3-D model of the store appeared in his mind; the extra properties he had purchased before had officially become part of the store.

nAlmost all the places on that side of the street were his.

nHis store covered up a much larger area than before.

nThe storefront was as large as a ballroom. The spacious lobby could house hundreds of people inside. The ceiling was over a hundred meters high. Even the giant battle pets could stand there easily.

nIt was a magnificent building.

nSu Ping also saw a display room for pets on sale or available for rent. The display room occupied almost half of the entire space.

nAll the pets for sale and for rent would be placed on some display stands with introductions about them on the side; this would aid the customers to easily determine which one they liked.

nThe total number of nursing pens has increased to 40 from the previous 20, and the spots in the storage space were increased to 80. I can take 120 pets in total.

nThe nursing pens can be upgraded to advanced nursing pens. Su Ping walked around the store, which had become more sumptuous.

nHe pulled up the system’s shop in his mind.

nThe system’s shop was currently at the third level as well, and he was able to see six items displayed on one page. “Black Tortoise Shield (elementary divine skill): one million energy points.”

n“Blood of Feather Dragon (material): 0.62 million energy points.”

n“Advanced beast-catching ring (enhanced version): half a million energy points.”

nSu Ping’s eyes glowed. The first item was an elementary divine skill!

nEven though it was an elementary one, that was a divine skill nonetheless!

nMost of the items in the shop would cost hundreds of thousands of energy points and the cheapest one would cost two hundred thousand energy points. “The odds of catching a beast king with this enhanced advanced beast-catching ring is 30%!”

nSu Ping eagerly bought the ring.

nThe original advanced beast-catching ring merely had a 10% chance of capturing a beast king!

nWhen he was down on his luck, he could even use ten rings and would not even get one beast

nking.

nThe enhanced version of the ring would cost a lot more, but the odds were much greater. According to Su Ping’s experience, if he could hurt a beast king first and then use the enhanced version of the ring, he believed that the odds of capturing it could be increased to 50 or 60%!

nThat would be amazing!

nAfter all, the beast king could be at the Ocean State or even the Fate State! He could even capture one at the peak of the Fate State with the enhanced version!

nThis is awesome. Maybe, I can tell Joanna to send someone to beat up a beast king at the peak of the Fate State next time I go to the Demigod Burial. I can sell it for several hundred million if I can capture one and sell it here! What a great deal!

nSu Ping was excited.

nHe couldn’t sign a contract with a pet at the peak of the Fate State. He would have to put it on the side for the moment, or sell it and only those at the Void State would have such a pet.

nI’m going to take the Black Tortoise Shield as well.

nHe didn’t even hesitate. Since he had more than 80 million energy points left, spending one million was nothing.

nSoon, a golden glow appeared in his mind. The system was asking if he wanted to take the skill right away.

nSu Ping couldn’t transfer the skills he bought from the system’s shop to anyone else, unless he were to teach someone verbally after having mastered the skill.

n“Yes.”

nSoon after, a gush of information swarmed into Su Ping’s mind.

nIn a daze, Su Ping saw a huge Black Tortoise standing on the ground and there were strange patterns on its shell, seemingly describing mysterious rules.

nThe patterns grew and grew until they submerged Su Ping.

nHe came back to his senses the next second.

nHe could still see some of the lines and patterns. He thought he had learned something, but he didn’t understand a thing, all at the same time.

nHe subconsciously began to mobilize his astral powers, which moved along a strange line in the vortexes.

nBzzing!

nAll of a sudden, a golden glow burst out from him. The strange patterns he had seen on the Black Tortoise had been inscribed on him. The golden glow formed a shield.

nAs he stared at the shield, he tried to land a punch on himself.

nHis fist was bounced off and the shield remained undamaged.

nSu Ping was able to tell that there was a cycle of astral powers between the shield and himself. He had used quite a lot of strength in that punch and yet it didn’t damage the shield at all. He had ascertained that the shield would at least be able to fend off a strike from a beast

nking.

nAmazing!

nWhile he was merely at the titled rank, he was already able to raise a shield with his astral powers, one that was strong enough to withstand the strike of a beast king. I’ll find out the shield’s limit in the test room.” Su Ping said to himself. He was able to tell that the shield was much stronger than his current perception. But before that, he would have to ransack the system’s shop.

nApart from the skill and the beast-catching ring, Su Ping could use other items but wasn’t in dire need of them. For example, the dragon blood could covert an impure dragon bloodline into a pure one of the Feather Dragon species.

nIt was said that Feather Dragons had Fate State bloodline and that there was a chance that a Feather Dragon could develop further and reach the Star Rank.

nBut that was just a legend. The odds of succeeding in reality was small. “I wonder how many energy points I can get if I sell it.”

nSu Ping was curious.

n“The selling price is the same as the price you pay here,” the system answered.

n“Have you finished your maintenance?”

n“I’m fully rested, to be precise.”

n“Did you just say that I will make as many energy points as I spend?” “Indeed.” “…You’re really making it hard for a middleman!”

nSu Ping was speechless. He couldn’t make any money on that.

nBut I can still buy the dragon blood and sell it to some repeated customers. I won’t make money but that’s a favor for those repeated customers, Su Ping pondered.

nAfter taking another look at the balance of his energy points, Su Ping bought the dragon blood as well.

nFor the moment, he didn’t need the other items so he chose to refresh the page.

nHe would have one free chance to refresh everyday.

nSix new items popped out; no divine skills this time. There were mainly strange materials and food.

n“Trapping Rope: 0.8 million energy points. “It can trap a beast king’s soul, take it away from the creature’s body, thus immobilizing the beast king.”

nThe effect of the item amazed Su Ping. It was a rope with the power to disable all beast kings.

nOf course, the stronger the beast king was, the faster the recovery would be.

nThe rope could freeze an Ocean State beast king for eight hours. But that rope would only last for a minute with Fate State beast kings!

nThat rope is not effective for Star Ranked creatures. I can fight average Fate State beast kings easily, given my current strength. But if the rope can help me detain a beast king at the peak of the Fate State for a minute, I can win!

nSu Ping’s eyes glowed. The item was an outstanding piece.

nBuy it!

nMinus 0.8 million energy points.

nHe paid and got the rope. Su Ping checked his storage space. A golden rope was lying within.

nSu Ping decided to refresh the shop again.

nBut this time, it would cost him one million. He could afford it since he had enough energy points.

n“Dream Inducer: 0.32 million energy points.

n“The target’s memory can be corrected, making the target regard subsequent experiences as a dream. The target can also forget events and related memories during that period of time.”

nSu Ping didn’t know what to say about that.

nDream Inducer. It was just a fancy name for knockout drops. I cannot believe you, system.

nHow dare you sell this!

nPooh!

nMinus 0.32 million energy points.

nSu Ping saw the word “sold” in the slot. “System, you’re charging way too high for this. You’re asking for 32 million astral coins for this potion. Such a potion would only be sold for a few hundred bucks on the black market.”

n
