Chapter 272: Fourth-rank Pool

Chapter 272 Fourth-rank Pool

Sighing and groaning, customers left one by one.

Of course, Su Ping knew that people would resent him after having queued for so long, for nothing. There was nothing he could do. As for the proper person to deliver his apology, Su Ping thought of someone. “Tang, say goodbye to the customers. Be nice.”

Tang Ruyan persuaded herself to endure the humiliation. She had to be humble when she was trapped in an inferior situation.

She worked up a smile and bid farewell to the customers one after one.

Acting according to circumstances was something she had been practicing since she was a kid. But ever since her status rose in the family, she had never done it again. No one was worthy of her smiles, except for some senior people and the higher-ups in the family.

Again, information that Pixie had closed went viral on the internet, causing another round of heated discussion.

Before, people would usually have the view that the Pixie Pet Store had merely said the crazy words about the “championship package” because the store owner had lost all hope. However, the fact that the store closed in the middle of the day changed many people’s views.

If the store owner had lost all hope, he wouldn’t have used this hunger marketing again. He would have tried his best to dredge for money.

He closed the store in the day and said that all the spots had been taken. He was calm, not seeming to value money. As such, a group of people was at the moment thinking that the Pixie Pet Store was not in desperation like they had assumed; the store owner seemed able to take it easy.

It looked as if the store owner had never taken the competition against Primo seriously. He enjoyed himself while the storm was raging outside.

Many people had shifted their opinions about the Pixie Pet Store. They began to think that the store owner was capable. Su Ping didn’t know that closing the store would become a trending topic online again and that this could eliminate some of the negative reviews online.

He closed the door and called the Inferno Dragon back.

Tang Ruyan was told to go back to the scroll.

Tang Ruyan was unwilling. Nevertheless, Su Ping “helped” her in.

Su Ping didn’t go to train the pets right away. Instead, he went to the room with the Chaos Spirit Pool.

He pushed the door open. The first thing leaping to his eyes was the vast starry sky.

ds

The ground was barely visible. A well was suspended in the middle of the room as if floating in the universe.

“What is that??”

Joanna followed him in. When she saw the inside, she could no longer keep the calm look that was on her face all day long.

She felt that this room contained an independent space. Once she stepped through the door, she would be in the boundless universe that she was seeing.

How could someone place the universe inside this small room?!

This view astonished Joanna. Even for a Superior God, seizing a piece of the universe would not be easy. Only those with a profound and extensive understanding of the laws of space could be capable of such deeds! As far as she knew, merely those in the Archean Divinity could do this!

Su Ping stepped into the room as if walking amongst the stars. He didn’t try to hide this from Joanna who was connected to the store as an employee. She wouldn’t harm him even if she wanted to, unless he fired her as an employee.

“Upgrade,” Su Ping said to himself. The digit indicating the energy points decreased from 1.3 million to 0.3 million immediately.

To upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool to the fourth rank, he had to use one million energy points.

That was equal to one hundred million coins.

Of course, the value of this upgrade could not be assessed with money. For the system, money was just a tool to evaluate how the store was running, a mere measurement with no practical use.

Su Ping could have easily made one hundred million from any other channel but to make this money through the store was less easy considering all the restrictions. Luckily, given the space and fame of the store, collecting about half a million energy points daily was a piece of cake.

With energy pouring into the well, a dazzling ray of light suddenly burst out from the Chaos Spirit Pool. By the edge, complicated and mysterious patterns emerged and fell in Joanna’s view, who was standing behind Su Ping. This… was the divine pattern?

Joanna stood there still in amazement.

At the same time, she had picked up a familiar sense in the well.

It was something aged, and primitive. There was just a hint of this aura but its power was overwhelming.

Joanna was confused. This aura felt like divine energy but not at the same time. She had never sensed something like this before. Yet, she was sure that this aura contained everything she was longing for, including guidance for her to become a Superior God!

Soon, the golden patterns by the edge disappeared and everything went back to normal, except for the faint glow inside the well and the more delicate edge it had.

Su Ping was relieved when the system informed him that the upgrade had been completed. He began to check the Chaos Spirit Pool carefully.

The interface of the Chaos Spirit Pool appeared in his mind.

Several pieces of information were displayed.

Probability of breeding a beast kings… 60%. Probability of breeding a ninth-rank pet… 29.999%. Probability of breeding an eighth-rank pet… 0.001%.

Probability of failure… 10%.

Su Ping’s eyes glowed. He felt even his blood was coursing faster.

When the pool was at the third level, the probability of breeding beast kings was merely 10%.

But it was increased to 60%!

With any luck, he could have a beast king after one try. Even if he was less fortunate, it was still a one in two chance!

Of course, if he was down on his luck, he could never see a beast king. Anyways, in general, Su Ping was happy about the 60% chance.

Beast Kings!

Even one out of ten attempts would be a great deal!

Su Ping looked at the energy points needed. Since he was no longer a beginner, he had to pay with energy points for everything.

One attempt was one million.

The cost was the same as upgrading the Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation.

The Chaos Spirit Pool for Incubation was merely a platform. The chaos aura needed for breeding was a valuable item.

Su Ping knew this. He could make one million energy points in two days.

I have three hundred thousand energy points left. I need to save them. I will make enough energy points for breeding in the next two days, Su Ping thought.

Su Ping rested his mind since the pool’s upgrade was done. Turning around, he saw Joanna was still gazing at the Chaos Spirit Pool in a daze. “Come on. Time for the training,” Su Ping said to her.

Joanna came back to her senses. She darted one final look at the well. She had some suspicion about the one supporting Su Ping. At the moment, she had seen the tip of the iceberg, which had enabled her to develop a general idea of that person.

She didn’t say anything as she left the room with Su Ping

Su Ping closed the door; no one could get in without his permission, not even Joanna, the formal employee.

Su Ping went to the pet room to pick the pets for training

Having chosen the pets, he and Joanna went to the city in the Demigod Burial again.

This time, Su Ping took the Moonfrost Dragon with them.

He had transferred money to Su Lingyue and asked her to pay for the professional training. Their transaction had been counted as a deal completed in the store.

But Su Ping took a different approach with the Moonfrost Dragon, compared with the menu followed by the other pets. He even considered letting the Moonfrost Dragon consume some Divine Crystals and enjoy some divinely enhanced skills!

Time zipped by.

A night passed.

Su Ping had stayed in the Demigod Burial for several days. The Moonfrost Dragon was with him this whole time. After merely one night, the Moonfrost Dragon had risen to the seventh rank from the third rank!

Its combat strength was 7.8 at the moment.

Besides, Su Ping had managed to grab more Divine Crystals from Joanna. He fed them to the Moonfrost Dragon; it had accumulated enough Divine Charge for all its skills.

Su Ping had a feeling that, after training for more days, he was sure that the Moonfrost Dragon’s combat strength could reach 9.5 before the Elite League.

Since the Moonfrost Dragon was still in its infancy, Su Ping had it bathe in Joanna’s spring. Amid the silver scales, the Moonfrost Dragon had grown some golden ones. The color was quite dreamy.

“Fourth rank, combat strength 7.8 and above average in aptitude is not bad.” Su Ping was training the Moonfrost Dragon as his own pet. He was happy about the progress.

When Su Ping finished training all the pets and went back to the store, the first light of morning had been cast into his store.

Since the store had been filled up early the previous day, Su Ping began training earlier and he could open the store early this day as a result.

He opened the door and asked Tang Ruyan to be the greeter as before.

While he was free, he went online to search for some updated news.

The night prior, Primo didn’t come up with anything else new. Su Ping saw some videos that people had shot. Primo’s stores had been busy all the time.

Apart from their flagship store, the other branch stores also had a high attendance.

From the making money standpoint, Primo must have made much more than the Pixie Pet Store, pocketing at least hundreds of millions.

Primo was a chain store and they had branches everywhere. People that would rather not travel long distances could still find a Primo store nearby.

Besides, Primo never closed and they had no upper limit when it came to the number of customers they could receive. Their flagship store was running 24 hours a day and there were always people queuing. I think they are too busy to compete against me. Or, are they happy as it is?

Su Ping looked away from all the Primo news. Since Primo was not cooking up new plans and his store was busy every day, he was content.

But he knew that the “truce” was temporary. The day the Elite League kicked off was the day for the real fight between them.

The start of the Elite League was getting closer…
