Chapter 161 Going to the Uncultivated Land
At the store.
At night, Su Ping came out from the dragon king’s heritage ground. He placed the two trained pets in the training space and sat down to have some rest.
With much effort, he had explored more than 70 dragon scale lands in the dragon king’s heritage ground, leaving 30 or so pieces of land to be explored.
Su Ping believed he could cover all the lands in one day and night.
The Inferno Dragon, the Dark Dragon Hound, and the Purple Python had all reached adulthood and had thus increased in power. As such, Su Ping’s exploration had progressed much faster. If it weren’t for the slight influence of OCD, he would have gone to another heritage ground.
The dragon scale lands in the dragon king’s heritage ground could no longer do wonders for the three pets.
“This is the elementary heritage ground after all, and the most dangerous beings inside are beast kings,” Su Ping said to himself. While the beast kings were beings that he couldn’t defeat at the moment, there weren’t that many beast kings in the dragon scale lands.
Besides, the beast king’s stimulus alone couldn’t stimulate a fast development in the three pets.
Su Ping rested for a moment, then he heard someone coming all of a sudden.
Someone was knocking on the door.
Su Ping extended his consciousness outside and saw that it was Su Lingyue.
He went to open the door and saw Su Lingyue standing by the door with the lunch box in her hand.
Su Ping remembered what she said the day before. He asked, “Why didn’t I see you this morning?” “I had morning classes today.” Su Lingyue gave him the box and threw a look into the pitch dark store. Still, she didn’t see what she was trying to find, and felt sorry about it. She asked Su Ping, “Why don’t you turn on the light?”
“To save electricity.”
Su Lingyue curled her lips. She went into the store and said, “I will leave Snowball with you now. Do you have any vacancies left?”
“Some.” Su Ping brought his meal to the counter, sat down, and dug in. When he had the pets trained, he would contact their masters to come and pick the pets up. Some people had gone there in the afternoon, so some spaces were opening up. Su Lingyue was relieved. Su Ping was gobbling down his food. She snorted at him and said reluctantly, “One hundred thousand, right?”
“Yes.”
“Any discounts?”
“No.”
“How about Ninety-nine thousand?”
Su Lingyue turned on her phone and transferred the money to Su Ping, still unwilling.
Su Ping checked. She did transfer one hundred thousand. Then, he nodded and said, “Put the charcoal here.”
Su Lingyue opened up the pet space and summoned her main pet, the Phantom Flame Beast.
The Phantom Flame Beast showed its fangs to Su Ping and raised its head proudly, giving Su Ping a look full of contempt.
It had fooled this stupid person many times.
Su Ping’s eyes flickered as he saw the Phantom Flame Beast. He remembered that when he woke up in this world on the first day, he had been scared off the bed. He almost broke his nose!
Finally, you are mine!
The Phantom Flame Beast noticed the strangeness in Su Ping’s eyes. Somehow, it felt chilly and it became all fuzzy. But soon, the Phantom Flame Beast calmed down and wondered if it was having a delusion.
“You must take good care of Snowball. And, don’t call it charcoal!”
“Sure.”
Su Ping nodded with a grin.
“I will head to the uncultivated land the day after tomorrow. Will the training be done by then?” Su Lingyue asked. She knew that training in Su Ping’s store progressed quickly. But since this was of critical importance to her, she thought she just might as well make sure.
Su Ping was surprised. “You are going there as well?” “Yes. What? As well?” Su Lingyue picked up a clue after she answered the question. She was confused. “You are going?”
Su Ping had inadvertently blurted out the secret. He shook his head in denial at once.
He wasn’t lying, per se. He was going to the Mysterious Realm, not the uncultivated land exactly.

“Then why did you say ‘as well’?” Su Lingyue was still suspicious.
Su Ping answered, “A friend of mine is going.” “Who?”
“Someone you don’t know.”
Su Ping didn’t waste time with her about this. “Since you’re going there, take the water barrier with you. You can give it back to me when you come back.”
Su Lingyue thought about it. “Sure.”
She loved that water barrier. She had sensed how useful this water barrier was in the previous exchange match. Her opponent’s fifth-rank pet attacked her many times but failed to hurt her one bit. The water barrier was incredibly strong. She didn’t know where Su Ping had found this item.
But since Su Ping had brought her many surprises and showed her many changes, gradually, she had become used to those mysteries.
“Then, I will take it with me,” Su Lingyue said. She wouldn’t want to keep the water barrier for her own sake, but she decided to keep it for the moment, since Su Ping just stayed at the store every day without going out. He was safe there.
It was her first time going to the barren area. She looked forward to visiting this place where so many graduates were gathered. At the same time, she was scared. She wondered if she was going to encounter any dangers. With the water barrier, she would feel more comfortable.
“The school year is not over yet. What are you going there for?” Su Ping wondered. The end of the semester was more than ten days away.
Su Lingyue answered, “The exchange match is over and there are very few school events later on. So, some of us top students were recommended to go to the barren area to train.”
“Some?” Su Ping wondered, “There are others?”
“Of course.” Su Lingyue was speechless. Su Ping was an advanced teacher in the academy. Why didn’t he know about such an important event in the academy?
“There are 16 of us in total. We have the top five of grade two, the top ten of grade three are going and two of grade one, me and the guy who won second place,” Su Lingyue explained. She smiled a smug smile.
This was an honor for her. When the announcement was made in her class, she was surrounded by praises.
Su Ping did the calculation. “Shouldn’t it be 17 in total?”
Su Lingyue rolled her eyes. “There were 17 but that Ye Hao of grade three said he was going for a secret training in another place. He’s not going with us.”
Su Ping understood. He asked again, “Are you going to a Class C or a Class B area?”
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows. She learned from that senior Mr. Qin who was favoring her recently about the classification. She didn’t know that Su Ping had such knowledge as well. “How do you know about Class B and Class C? Have you been there?” she questioned.
Su Ping didn’t satisfy her curiosity. “Answer my question first.” Su Lingyue pouted and said unhappily. “Of course it’s a Class C. We are all undergraduates and Class B areas are dangerous. Do you think we can go there at will?”
Su Ping was relieved. If they were going to Class B areas, even with the water barrier, Su Ping would be worried that his little sister could not make it back. After all, even a senior explorer like Ye Chenshan had almost lost his life in a Class B area. It was Su Ping who saved him.
“Good.”
Su Ping had another question, “Are you going to train in the barren area or will you enter the space fractures?”
The barren area and the space fractures represented two levels of danger. The space fractures were categorized as high, middle, and low level. In most of the Class C barren areas, there were low-level space fractures. After all, the main reason that the barren areas came into being was that those areas had been occupied by beasts that had escaped from the space fractures.
There were exceptions, of course.
The space fracture Su Ping went to last time was in a Class B barren area. However, that space fracture was almost as dangerous as a Class A barren area.
“How do you know about space fractures?” Su Lingyue was surprised. Su Ping seemed to be more informed than she was.
“Have you visited a barren area before?” Su Lingyue stared at him. However, if Su Ping had visited barren areas, she never saw him leave the house for long. He would not go home every now and then but she supposed he had most likely gone to an internet bar, which was nothing strange.
Su Ping noticed that she had been asking him questions incessantly. “Just tell me which area you’re going to,” he urged her to answer. Su Lingyue found him strange but she did answer. “The Beipo Mountain near our base city.”
Su Ping knew that it was a common Class C barren area.
“When you get there, stay with your team and don’t wander off by yourself. When you see beasts, run away from, not toward them,” Su Ping cautioned her, “To put it simply, don’t go into the woods and stay away from the water. Don’t doubt your own eyes when you find strange places. Keep your guard up at all times.”
Su Lingyue didn’t expect that Su Ping would give her instructions. This made her feel unhappy. She had always been the one commanding Su Ping. Things were different at the moment. She pouted and wanted to talk back but stopped on second thought, since Su Ping was more powerful than she was.
Su Ping didn’t mind if Su Lingyue had taken his suggestions to heart or not. He had done what he could to help her.
“Go back home if you have no more questions. I’m done here.” Su Ping was ready to go back to his training.
All the food was gone. Su Lingyue packed up the lunch box, calmed Snowball down, and left. Before she did, she reminded Su Ping again, “Look after Snowball for me.”
Su Ping closed the door after she was gone. Then, he turned around and cast a look at the Phantom Flame Beast that was on the counter.
The Phantom Flame Beast was like a fat, lazy cat. It was rolling on the counter slightly. The Phantom Flame Beast knew that Su Ping was not a stranger so it wasn’t nervous at all; it glanced at Su Ping indifferently. It failed to scare this stupid human later on but it still despised this person because of his past embarrassment.
