Astral Pet Store

Chapter 790: Visit

“Cousin, are you going to participate in the Pet Contest?”

Across the street—on the second floor of the assessment shop—two beautiful women were standing by the window.

Cleo looked at the pet shop across the street; her eyes flashed when she saw its long queue. She said, “Yes, I’ve signed up for the Ocean State and the Fate State categories. You’re also participating, right?”

“Yes, I’ve signed up for the Ocean State and the Void State tiers.”

“Did you sign up in Woffett City? I believe the local competition will be fierce. After all...”

“Cousin, I’m not that dumb. My two Class A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons probably won’t even win the city championship if I sign up here.”

“...”

Cleo gave her a bitter smile.

That was indeed the case.

Such high profile dragons would have easily won in a city-wide championship in the past. After all, their opponents would be on a similar level.

The natural advantages enjoyed by the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons, and their Class A aptitudes, would make it easy to crush their opponents. All save for the rarely-seen excellent pets.

Still, at that moment...

There seemed to be pets with Class A aptitude all over the street.

While they were still rare in other cities, they weren’t as uncommon as before in Woffett.

The Pixie Pet Store had contributed to raise the bar in Woffett City’s Pet Contest by several levels on its own.

“Good thing we can sign up in other cities thanks to the privileges of our family, or we would definitely be knocked out if we tried our luck here,” Lily remarked with mixed feelings.

She looked like an innocent teenager, but she was actually quite smart.

Cleo nodded with sympathy in her eyes.

While they could take advantage of their family’s privileges, the normal citizens of Woffett weren’t as lucky and could only register there.

Those who would have been sure winners in the past had to count on luck this time, or the chance to have their pets trained at Pixie.

The upcoming Pet Contest made the queue outside of the shop grow even more, and the prices for the spots continued to rise. It was said that someone had paid twelve billion for a spot among the first fifty in line!

As for the twenty spots closest to the shop, they were being sold for twenty billion, but few were willing to part with them. After all, they weren’t stupid; they could make just as much money if they managed to get a Class A pet.

“This year’s contest is probably going to be extra intense,” Lily said with glittering eyes, “I think my two pets can only win the city championship. There’s no telling how fierce the global phase of the contest will be...”

Cleo thought exactly the same. There was eagerness in her eyes.

Any pet with a Class A aptitude would have garnered everyone’s attention in the past.

But this year...

Everybody had a Class A pet!

Cleo estimated that the final stage would probably be for rare A+ rare pets only!

...

Outside the shop—

Su Ping finally opened at ten in the morning.

He walked out of the shop. As usual, the people fetching their pets went in first.

New customers were received after every pet was claimed.

Soon after, the shop was full again.

Exclamations were concurrently bursting out on the street. Those who had claimed their pets had already gotten assessment results in the shop across the street.

All of the tested pets were Class A, without any exception.

Even the lowest aptitude was still A-. There were even occasional A+ pets, which made everybody feel jealous.

The cheers were spread out to the street and to the ears of all the people waiting in line. Those who had become bored of waiting were shocked by the results, their excitement rekindled.

The rumors are true!

All the pets trained in this shop have Class A aptitudes!

Every pet is Class A!

“Hello.”

Right when the time came for Su Ping to apologize due to full capacity and get ready to close the shop, a middle-aged man suddenly showed up by the entrance. It was a scholarly fellow who looked at Su Ping in awe. He said, “Boss, hello. My teacher would like to meet with you.”

“Me?” Su Ping frowned and shook his head. “I’m not a celebrity. There’s no need to meet me.”

Many people had tried to meet him during those days, some even offering gifts, all in the hopes of cutting in line and getting their pets trained in advance.

However, he couldn’t break the rules of the system. As for the spots being sold outside the shop, Su Ping no longer bothered with them. Everything was fine, as long as they didn’t do it in front of his face.

After all, it was impossible to truly forbid any of them from cutting in line.

In the event of a Star State expert arriving, the people waiting in line would be awed and would surely make place for him, so the Star State expert would naturally be at the front of the line.

There was nothing Su Ping could do to stop that.

“Boss!”

Right after Su Ping declined him, the middle-aged man became anxious and said quickly, “My teacher is Master Pablo.”

Su Ping: “?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, noticing the confusion on Su Ping’s face. He then said in a low voice, “My teacher is a four-starred master trainer. He heard that there’s a grandmaster trainer in your shop, and he’s here to visit him. I wonder if you could give us a chance to meet him.”

As he talked, an old man wearing a hood moved closer to Su Ping.

Silver hair could be seen on his cheeks below the hood.

Su Ping noticed him and found that the stranger was a Fate State expert.

“A master trainer?” Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He had learned more about the four-starred master trainers from the information learned via the Lord Badge. To put it simply, they were more respected than Holy Spirit Trainers on the Blue Planet, and they could inspire the power of understanding pets!

However, they could only train pets below the Star State.

While they could train Star State pets, they couldn’t inspire or give the pets new talents; they could only make slight improvements to the pets’ combat abilities.

Grandmaster trainers were necessary to invoke qualitative changes in Star State pets.

It was also the reason why even a Star Lord who ruled a galaxy would retreat a grandmaster trainer courteously.

Grandmaster trainers could not only strengthen Star State beasts, but also train those at the Star Lord State. Most Star Lords can only ask grandmaster trainers to take care of their pets. That is, until they find better trainers.

“Are you the master trainer?” Su Ping looked at the man who was wearing a hood in a low-profile manner.

He was talking telepathically. Since the guy preferred to keep a low profile, there was no need for him to spread out.

“Hello, boss, I’m Pablo.” The old man raised his head and revealed his calm eyes. His eyes glittered, and he was somewhat confused.

He sensed that Su Ping was truly at the Void State!

It wasn’t a disguise, that was his real level!

Oftentimes a master trainer would have a special perception technique. As years passed no creatures were able to hide their level in front of him, unless they were the Star Lords’ pets.

However...

This young man is a Star State warrior who fought against Garland and the other capable warriors.

He defeated two of the three opponents and caught Garland!

How could such a man be in the Void State?

“Is it a rare disguise technique?” Pablo’s eyes flashed, and he was quite shocked.

The disguise technique was quite horrifying, given that he couldn’t see through it.

Perception abilities were amongst the most important skills to him; but still, it didn’t work on the guy.

“Yes,” Su Ping nodded and said, “There’s no need to meet. I’m training in this shop. Business is flourishing, as you’ve seen. I don’t have time to talk to anyone.”

“...”

The old man was stunned.

The next moment... His eyes widened; he looked at Su Ping in shock.

What the heck?

You’re the trainer in this place?

He swallowed and said, “Boss, I intend to meet with the grandmaster trainer in your store...”

“I’m the only trainer in this shop,” said Su Ping helplessly, “I don’t know if I’m the grandmaster trainer you mention, as I’m still learning as a trainer. I don’t know many abilities, and my tricks are quite rudimentary as they are. I only consider myself as a beginner trainer at best.”

“...”

Pablo was shocked by that revelation.

He didn’t think that Su Ping would impersonate a grandmaster trainer, unless he wanted to get himself killed.

After all, it was a serious offense!

The system didn’t seem to be trying to hide the grandmaster trainer in the shop; it was unnecessary to ask anyone to pretend to be a grandmaster trainer...

But...

Is Su Ping really the grandmaster trainer?

But the man was a Star State expert who defeated Garland, who was also in the Star State, and caught him alive!

Is fighting just his part-time job?

Pablo was quite perplexed. What Su Ping said had rendered him speechless.

The grandmaster trainer was claiming that he only had rudimentary training tricks and called himself a novice trainer... Then, what is he?

An apprentice trainer?

Or maybe a completely-clueless intern trainer who didn’t know what he was doing?
