Astral Pet Store

Chapter 775: Circle of the Star State

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Ping had taken the red-haired young man into the shop while the latter was busy feeling sorry for himself.

Su Ping glanced around and saw that the Lightning Rat had returned to its original position, falling asleep again.

Does nothing attract its attention anymore?

Su Ping heaved a sigh and shook his head. Certain people would never come back after they were gone, but the rat didn’t seem to have realized it.

Maybe it has, but refuses to believe it?

Su Ping was silent for a moment and looked at the rodent. He didn’t think further; time would heal everything. That was certain.

“Let’s go in,” Su Ping said to the red-haired young man and closed the shop.

As for the ruined street... It wasn’t his fault. The Ryans had started it. The whole thing belongs to the Ryan family. Go ask the Ryans for compensation.

Su Ping believed that not even the city mayor would come after the battle, unless the leader of the Ryan family came along.

Still, Su Ping didn’t consider it a big deal. He could always hide until he was strong enough if he couldn’t defeat them!

The people outside finally could breathe in relief after Su Ping closed the shop. All of them whispered in shock.

“I think the Star State expert’s been kidnapped!”

“Be more confident and drop the ‘I think’!”

“What about the other two Star State people? Did they flee? Did the owner defeat three enemies and capture one of them alive, all by himself?”

“What’s the background of this shop’s boss? Why would a Star State bigshot run a shop here? Is it fun?”

“My shop is completely ruined...”

“Hey, I heard this was the shop that sold ten Class A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons. Did someone say that it was fake news?”

“Fake news? Do you think a Star State bigshot cares about money? He wouldn’t have hesitated even if he sold a hundred Class A pets. It’s not like they were in the Star State.”

“You’re right. That Star State bigshot is probably doing this for fun. Does money mean anything to him?”

“Isn’t there a rule about queuing in this shop? Will they still do business tomorrow after what happened today?”

“Business? The three Star State bigshots are guests of the Ryan family, aren’t they? This boss is clearly an enemy of the Ryan family. The family master will probably come in no time!”

“Should we continue waiting, or should we run? I don’t want to get hurt by accident if they fight!”

While they discussed, many people looked at the collapsed street outside of Su Ping’s shop and hesitated.

It was then that a person dashed out of the crowd. It was the young Mia.

She decided to keep waiting after much deliberation.

She could always walk away if O’Neil did show up. Considering her identity, even he had to give her face; he would not dare to hurt her.

After all, that planet was under the control of the Laiyefa family.

Even though she was not prominent in her family, the Laiyefa name was still inviolable.

Everybody was surprised to see the silver-haired girl be the first to step out and began to whisper again. Some interstellar travelers recognized her identity from her hair color.

Gradually, more and more people stood behind her and queued up.

Since someone from the Laiyefa was standing in the front, why should they be scared?

As more and more people joined the line, those who wavered the most chose to follow the trend. However, the cautious ones among them were still observing; they had even retreated, in case the master of the Ryan family made an abrupt appearance, not giving them time to escape!

The previous line was disrupted by the battle and had to be reorganized.

Filius hesitated when he saw that a lot of people flew down.

He eventually gritted his teeth and made up his mind—

He decided to try his luck!

The Moreno family was declining; he had to rise and find a way out for his family!

Su Ping’s shop was exactly the hope he saw in front of his eyes!

If he could train all his pets in Su Ping’s shop, and if all of them were improved as much as the Green Alligator was... he would definitely distinguish himself in the Pet Contest and make his family famous!

The rise of such an unusual talent among the descendants of the Moreno family, would make others pause and hesitate about taking advantage of his family.

Everyone kicks a man who is down; but if an expert stood next to the man, fewer men would kick him, and there would still be a chance for him to rise again!

I wish I hadn’t wavered and trained my main pet instead! Filius was rather regretful and nervous, wondering if Su Ping would be angry because he had questioned the service.

On the other hand, Cleo had a troubled expression while she stood farther apart from the queue.

She certainly couldn’t join the line anymore.

Su Ping had pissed off the Ryan family. If the family master came and saw her waiting in the line... His wrath would be beyond what she could bear.

She even regretted paying ten billion for the professional training service in Su Ping’s shop.

She would inevitably be punished if it was found out.

Although she was talented, she wasn’t from the main branch. Talent didn’t really mean much in that world, as many capable people were suppressed by incompetent superiors and could only manage to get by.

Their talents were just glimmers, until they were strong enough to overthrow those on top of them.

No wonder he doesn’t care about money... Cleo’s expression showed a myriad of emotions.

“Cousin, should we go back and report the matter to the family right now?” Lily said in a low voice next to her.

She seemed harmless and innocent, but she turned out to be quite flexible in the midst of trouble.

After a moment of stupor, Cleo instantly realized that it was better for her to report the matter to her family first before it blew out of proportion!

It was better to take the initiative than to wait!

...

Inside the shop—

Su Ping didn’t care about what was happening outside; there was too much on his plate. He hadn’t trained all his pets... Those guys had arrived at an awfully bad timing, interrupting his enjoyable training sessions.

Su Ping sat down on the couch and said angrily, “Tell me, what can you offer?”

Once he stood inside the shop, the red-haired young man looked around, wanting to find out if there were other experts present. He soon found that it was impossible for him to scan the other rooms in the shop; even the ordinary areas that were open to the customers seemed impenetrable, only because they were separated by one door!

One door was enough to block his senses!

His senses were definitely not weak, but he was completely unable to tell what was behind those closed doors.

Were there also defenses inside the shop?

The young man found this hard to believe and was quite shocked, but he didn’t show it.

He snapped out of his thoughts once he heard Su Ping’s question. He took a deep breath while staring at Su Ping who was sitting on the couch. “I have fixed assets. I’ve also invested in certain corporations. My shares are much more valuable than the money I have. There are also some astral crystal mines that provide me with plenty of astral crystals every year...”

Su Ping listened on quietly.

Ten minutes later, he nodded and asked, “Is that all?”

In fact, he was quite satisfied, because what the red-haired young man had offered was far beyond his anticipation. He could earn a trillionaire income.

What did trillions mean?

Woffett’s GDP was only ten billion per year, and the richest guy of the Kamp Continent only had several hundred billion.

That red-haired young man had one tenth of Rhea’s wealth, not including the secret treasures, astral crystals and other resources he carried on himself.

Those items had been collected with great effort. They were much more valuable than several trillion astral coins!

Su Ping only felt sorry that the money couldn’t be converted into energy.

His shop’s revenue would have soared if it could!

However, the money could be useful in other aspects. Su Ping only exploited him because he wanted to do something for the Blue Planet. His current expenses were based on the taxes from the Blue Planet. The planet’s infrastructures would vastly improve if he invested several trillion.

He had accepted his role as Lord of the Blue Planet, and he intended to do whatever he could to fulfill his responsibility.

The red-haired young man gritted his teeth and said, “There’s also an exclusive circle; I can offer you my spot. The circle includes the Star State experts from all the solar systems and planets across Silvy. They come from powerful backgrounds and special forces. You can make friends with other Star State experts there.

“The leader of the circle is a Star Lord!

“It’s said that the deputy leader is also a Star Lord, but they rarely show up. It’s best not to disturb them.

“Things will be much easier for you in the future if you make more friends there.”

His heart was dripping blood. That spot meant more than all of his possessions!

He had gone through a lot of trouble to suck up to a local peak Star State expert in order to receive an invitation to join the circle.

He was just a lackey inside the circle, but he was eloquent and good at playing cute. He had made friends with some of the strong Star State experts, including O’Neil, who was another lackey of sorts, and was also part of the group. They sympathized with each other and became friends.

He was originally a rogue expert; he eventually accepted O’Neil’s invitation, so he traveled to Rhea and became a guest of the family.

A proportion of the astral crystals and revenue exploited on the planet would be regularly submitted to him.
