Astral Pet Store

Chapter 670 Indifference

“Not bad, not bad indeed...”

Mr. Fang browsed through the files and nodded.

Some of those students were as good as the already selected candidates but he wasn’t sure if they all had special constitutions. If they did, they accomplish greater things in the future. That was why the academy would favor candidates with an innate special constitution.

They weren’t just trying to aid their students to reach the Fate State. They strove to have students who could go beyond the legendary rank, reach the Star Rank and explore the universe!

In the scope of the Interstellar Federation, anyone unable to explore the universeremaining trapped within a planet-would be deemed as one without a future.

“Find those people for me. I have to check myself,” the middle-aged teacher said.

Several places flew out from the files.

Gu Sipeng, Yuan Tianchen, and the other legendary battle pet warriors saw the names. Some of them got their attention but they didn’t say anything against it. Gu Siping immediately sent someone to contact the selected students.

Soon, the middle-aged teacher had finished reading through the files collected by different academies and had then started to look at the information recorded in Mysterious Realms. Some visitors of those Mysterious Realms were odd in their own right, but their information wasn’t as detailed.

The scholar browsed through the files quietly, picking out several pages every now and then. “This is interesting. The ones at the ninth rank can usually reach the 10th level of the dragon bone tower at most, but this person went all the way to the 12th level. The strength of his spirit is good...

“He broke the record...”

The middle-aged teacher looked at Yuan Linglu and asked with interest, “Do you know the person who broke the record just as you did?”

Yuan Linglu looked a bit paler; she gripped her sword tighter. She was about to say yes when she felt her grandpa send her a subtle signal with the change in his breath. She realized something If Su Ping joined them, given his qualities, he would surely be picked as a student!

That is, unless his bone age was over 22, or else he wouldn’t be chosen.

Su Ping would be treated as one of the star students, even by that academy’s standards. She would never have a chance to catch up if this were to happen!

After two seconds of silence, Yuan Linglu lowered her head and said, “Sir, I’m sorry but I don’t know him.”

The middle-aged teacher stared at her for a while. He eventually turned over to Gu Siping and said, “Go and find out more about him. I will test him personally if his age is below the limit.”

Gu Siping darted a look at the file and answered with a straight face, “Of course.”

“This one is good. He has explored a Mysterious Realm in the deep ocean. Those who venture into those places are usually at the Ocean State. He hasn’t reached the legendary rank yet but he still went there. Interesting...

“Find him as well.”

The mature scholar teacher picked out more files.

He soon finished reading all the records and picked out thirteen files in total. Eight were described from academic records around the world.

“Go and get them as soon as possible,” the middle-aged teacher ordered. Gu Siping nodded. He gave the files to the legendary battle pet warriors who had been waiting by his side and told them what to do.

Then, Gu Siping gingerly offered a suggestion, “Sir, those people are spread all over the world; it won’t be easy for us to find them soon. After all, they had not applied previously, so we didn’t protect them specifically. Some of them might not even be in the world of the living anymore...”

“Don’t worry about that. Just do what you

can.”

The middle-aged teacher sounded casual.

Gu Siping nodded. He thought of an idea. “Sir, you must be exhausted after such a long trip. Why don’t you stay here for a couple of days to rest for a bit? We have some local delicacies that we can offer; I also have a jar of vintage wine that I’ve been keeping in reserve for a hundred years. The wine is made with precious herbs; one drink is enough to refine both bones and flesh of an average person, extending their lifespan up to a hundred years without getting sick. If we drink this wine, we can accumulate astral powers and have a better power of understanding...” The ones at the Fate State were intrigued.

Accumulating astral powers and improving the power of understanding?

Anything that could improve their powers of understanding had to be cherished!

Besides, when something worked on humans, it would usually work on battle pets as well.

The middle-aged wearing a curly beard licked his lips and said with eagerness, “Mr. Fang, how about we...?”

The middle-aged teacher shook his head. “You drunkard, wine will get you in trouble sooner or later. Alas, now that Mr. Gu is kind enough to extend us the invitation, we will stay here for a couple of days. We can walk around and look at this planet related to humanity’s origin...”

The Blue Planet was the Interstellar Federation’s starting point. Humans had the Blue Planet as a springboard, then later went to explore the universe.

However, as the exploration covered more grounds later on, humans reached many different planets. Many of those planets were habitable.

Technology also made it possible for humans to settle down on formerly inhabitable planets.

Humans began to live and thrive on those newly discovered planets and regarded those planets as their home.

After a long time, the Blue Planet—where it all began-became less important. It was just like sometimes people didn’t mind the origin of their families.

Time could erase everything. A few people would miss their origin but that would not mean anything practical in real life.

“Mr. Fang, thank you.”

Gu Siping expressed his appreciation.

He had kept that wine in storage for a hundred years. Other legendary battle pet warriors would at times ask him about that wine but he was always reluctant to share. Since he was currently sharing, he had to say thank you this time.

He was grateful that those from the Interstellar Federation even wanted to stay!

That was how important they were!

The middle-aged man with the curly beard scratched his head and smiled fatuously. He looked quite innocent but his friends knew that he was anything but.

“The Blue Planet is suffering a disaster rarely seen in hundreds of years. Mr. Fang, it might be difficult when you move around. What if the wild beasts hurt you...?” Gu Siping said while lowering his voice.

“It’s okay. I will simply kill them.”

He didn’t forget to make a joke. “As long as you’re okay with that.”

Gu Siping smiled fawningly. Of course, he would be okay with that.

Since the teacher dropped the conversation at that point, Gu Siping decided to continue. “Mr. Fang, I have a presumptuous request. We have detected at least eight beast kings at the Fate State. I was wondering...”

Before he could finish, the middle-aged teacher’s smile disappeared and waved Gu Siping to stop. “We’re here for our academy. I’ve seen information regarding that strike and I understand your suffering. However, we have our rules and we cannot interfere with the business of other planets.

“I’m sorry but I cannot help you.”

His direct refusal stunned Gu Siping and the others.

Yuan Linglu was worried, thinking that her grandfather would possibly meet misfortune. After all, there were many Fate State beast kings and the master of the Tower had just said they had found at least eight... She was freaked out.

A person’s image suddenly flashed past her mind.

She wondered if he could survive.

“Mr. Fang, this strike is unprecedented. The entire human race might be wiped out from the Blue Planet, turning the place into a beastland planet going if you don’t help. The Blue Planet is our origin. Do you really want to see the Blue Planet fall? We have over seven billion people...” Gu Siping said at once.

The other legendary battle pet warriors were getting anxious. The candidates would leave for the academy but they would still have to stay!

No one wanted to stay for that.

But this teacher was at the Star Rank!

He could pinch those at the Fate State to death with two fingers!

If he was able to help, the beast strike would be solved soon. The casualties would be fewer. The Blue Planet could keep on developing technology and after hundreds of years, they might be able to make spaceships to connect with the Interstellar Federation. The trip to the Interstellar Federation could be dangerous, but at the very least the Blue Planet would no longer be an abandoned planet!

Once they connected with the Interstellar Federation, the people from the Blue Planet would have the chance to visit other planets. They would grow and that would benefit the Blue Planet. In the future, the Blue Planet would officially be accepted into the Interstellar Federation; that was the ideal future.

The middle-aged teacher and the other people with him wore long faces and frowned.

“Mr. Gu, I’m being perfectly clear. Are you threatening me?” The middle-aged teacher glared at Gu Siping.

Gu Siping felt his blood freeze in fear. “No no, that’s not my intent. I was only feeling sorry about those innocent people...

“Everyone has a fate and every planet has its due course to run..

“If you cannot survive here, it would mean that the planet is not suitable for humans.”

The middle-aged teacher went on, “If it weren’t for the fact that we did not want to miss out on any talent, we would have been gone by now. We would not have stayed.”

Gu Siping nodded. “Yes, right, yes...” “Don’t mention this again. We can use this time as a reminder; gather all your items as soon as possible. We’re willing to stay for one more day; you should consider this a great chance for you. You should all feel honored since we’re willing to make the trip to the Blue Planet to find candidates. This kind of problem would never be an issue worth mentioning, especially if they can make something of themselves in the future.” The middle-aged teacher turned to Yuan Linglu and the other candidates. “Your hometown is under attack; and if you want to save it, study hard when you get to the academy. The competition there is much more intense than you can imagine, and you’ll have a lot more to learn.

“Yes, the ways which frightened you are primitive. You’re like cave people when it comes to training your battle pets,” said the lady with the red hair.

They held contempt against the people living on the Blue Planet.

They didn’t think much of Gu Siping, even though he was also at the Fate State; any one of them could have easily finished him.

They had heard about that primitive planet’s ways; battle pet warriors would stay at the back while their battle pets fought for them.

What a stupid way of fighting.

Battle pet warriors?

They had to be capable enough without their battle pets; they would even have to be stronger than their battle pets!

Otherwise, relying on issuing orders to their battle pets would never be done in a sustainable fashion.

After all, when reaching a certain rank—and when the battle pets were mature enoughthe contract alone would not be enough to contain their battle pets.

If a battle pet warrior didn’t have enough strength, the battle pet could outright exit the contract space and devour their master at any time!

Yuan Linglu and the other candidates decided to keep quiet out of fear.

“All right. Go and do your thing.” The middle-aged teacher flew back to the spaceship.

The others went with him. The mature teacher with a curly beard reminded Gu Siping with a chuckle, “Well, don’t forget about your vintage wine, huh.”

Gu Siping forced a smile. “Of course not.”

After boarding the spaceship, the aircraft flew up and hovered above the hill that Gu Siping had claimed as a home. Anyone at any place in the Mysterious Realm would have the chance to see that hovering spaceship. Some legendary battle pet warriors were unhappy about that demonstration of power, but decided not to say anything. They didn’t let anything show. Gu Siping said to Yuan Tianchen and the others, “You can go back now. Your kids can stay here; we need more people on deck across the world. Go.”

Yuan Tianchen and the others said their goodbyes and left right away.

Yuan Linglu clenched her fingers.

She wondered if that would be the last time she ever saw her grandpa!

She couldn’t understand why that teacher simply wouldn’t help when he could.

Their talk about not interfering in other planets... She was no fool; that was an excuse.

If that wasn’t an excuse, Gu Siping wouldn’t have been so wary of that teacher.

She was sure that said teacher could easily slap a person to death if provoked! He could kill any human but he wouldn’t kill the beasts. Why?

She hid all the hatred inwardly. She promised herself she would cultivate well and try to return as soon as possible!

Gu Siping looked at the young people; he could clearly see the anger and hatred they were hiding. He heaved a sigh inwardly. An idea popped up in his mind; the teacher was probably trying to inspire them.

As for whether that inspiration would get them to hate him, he did not mind.

However... for the teacher to even use a planet’s survival as stimulation, just so that a few talents would grow...

Life was cheap!

Maybe the people from the Blue Planet were like cavemen to those visitors. They might even see those local people as part of their kind.

They were looking at the local people as humans looked at apes.

They would never feel sorry for the Blue Planet!
