Super Divine Pet Shop

"The shop is in the host's mind. Simply think about it, and it will appear," the system explained.

Su Ping's mind stirred.

Suddenly, a dark gray shop interface popped up in his mind, resembling a warehouse grid, but it contained only three items.

•Awakening Liquid — 100 energy points

•Basic Beast Taming Ring — 100 energy points

•Low-Level Star Pet Food — 10 energy points

The details of the three items appeared simultaneously.

Without a second thought, Su Ping chose to purchase the Awakening Liquid.

"Cannot purchase, insufficient energy," the system responded.

"Energy?"

Su Ping froze, then noticed the requirement behind the purchase.

"Energy is primarily converted from the currency earned by the host. The ratio is 100:1. Currently, the host has 1 point of energy remaining," the system explained.

Su Ping was taken aback. He suddenly thought of something and checked his account records.

Deduction 100!

Sure enough, 100 had been deducted from his account and transferred to an unknown account.

"So, you're saying I only need 10,000 to buy it?" Su Ping was not disappointed at all; in fact, he was quite surprised.

That's ridiculously cheap! This is something that can turn an ordinary person into a star pet warrior!

If bought in the Federation, setting aside the complex channels, the price alone would be astronomical, and the effectiveness may not even compare!

"Convert the remaining balance in my account into energy," Su Ping immediately ordered.

He still had over 20,000 left in his account, money his family had transferred to him to purchase some star pet offspring.

"Aside from the currency earned in this store, money from other sources cannot be converted," the system responded.

"What?"

Su Ping was stunned. "The money from outside the store can't be converted?"

"No," the system replied.

"Please note, insulting remarks will result in a warning!"

"…" Su Ping took a deep breath, clenching his fists. "If there's no difference, then why can't I convert the money from other places?"

"The currency conversion module mainly tests the host's ability to grow. This ability will also factor into the system's final evaluation of the host," the system explained.

"Final evaluation?" Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

"The host's current privileges do not allow access to this information," the system responded.

"…"

Su Ping suppressed his frustration and slowly relaxed his clenched fists.

In the face of the system, there was no choice but to bow down.

"Well, earning 10,000 here isn't too hard; it just requires some time. If I could raise another Thunder Rat-like pet and sell it, it wouldn't even take 10,000. I could easily make a million!" Su Ping thought to himself.

"With your current privileges, you cannot sell pets. You can only rent them out," the system suddenly poured cold water on him.

Su Ping: "??"

As a pet shop, you can't even sell pets??

"Please note, insulting remarks will result in a second warning!" the system's voice turned cold.

Certain painful memories immediately resurfaced, and Su Ping quickly suppressed those thoughts.

He took a deep breath and exhaled.

He had attained Zen.

"Even if it's just renting, with the quality of a Thunder Rat, renting it for 10,000 a time wouldn't be difficult," Su Ping thought to himself.

"All services in this shop are reasonably priced. The host has no right to change the price," the system replied once again.

Su Ping froze.

He had a bad feeling. "What are the prices?"

"Currently, this shop only offers three services: Boarding, Rental, and Food Sales."

"Since the host hasn't purchased a boarding slot, the two available boarding slots are free, but they are considered defective items. Therefore, the boarding fee is 10 per hour."

"Pet rental services are based on the pet's rank, battle power, and potential. Since the host hasn't bred a pet yet, it's impossible to estimate."

"As for food sales, the host must personally go to the breeding ground to gather the food. The price is based on the quality of the food."

Su Ping was stunned.

Only three services?

Does that mean I can't offer any other products or services like pet clothes, toys, or grooming services?

Those are the real money-makers in a pet shop!

Don't think that pets only fight—most of the time, pets accompany their owners on shopping trips, eating, drinking, and watching TV. Most Battle Pet Masters love pampering their pets, as they are the only companions in life-and-death situations!

"Currently, if I only rely on boarding to make money, 10 per hour for a boarding slot is 240 a day, and for two slots, it's 480. In about a month, I can make…"

Su Ping calculated in his mind, which wasn't terrible. It was enough to scrape by for a month.

But, this boarding fee seems significantly higher than most shops, and it's charged by the hour.

Who would only board a pet for one hour?

"System, you just said these boarding slots are defective and given for free. Are there more expensive boarding slots?" Su Ping asked.

"Of course," the system responded immediately. "A basic boarding slot costs 10 energy points each. It requires 1 energy point per day to maintain, which the host must pay."

"Maintain with energy?" Su Ping felt like he had encountered a scam. "Isn't this supposed to be permanent?"

"Of course not," the system replied. "The basic boarding slot is constructed using spirit stones, which nourish the pet with pure spiritual energy. This enhances their comprehension and improves their constitution, making them more likely to learn powerful secret techniques."

Su Ping was stunned. That's amazing!

To enhance a pet's comprehension, only high-level breeders can do that, except for some mysterious treasures.

And here, a simple boarding slot can achieve similar effects—this is basically like having a high-level breeder taking care of your pet 24/7!

"How much does this basic boarding slot cost?" Su Ping hurriedly asked.

"100 per hour," the system replied.

"…" Su Ping fell silent.

On the market, pet boarding usually costs around 100 for ten days unless the owner has special requirements, but otherwise, the price is relatively standard.

100 per hour means 2,400 a day.

That's 24,000 for ten days!

That's 24 times more than other pet shops!

"System."

Su Ping suddenly spoke up.

"Yes?"

"Can the price… be raised a little more?"

"…"

The system finally coldly refused Su Ping's request, leaving him with a sense of regret.

The price was certainly exorbitant, even outrageous. But in Su Ping's view, the benefits of the basic boarding slot were so strong that even if the price were raised tenfold, he'd still think it was worth it!

"However, I still can't afford this basic boarding slot. Does that mean I can only rely on these defective ones for now?" Su Ping felt a pang of frustration.

As for food sales…

He still had to go to the breeding grounds to gather it.

The thought of the countless deaths he had witnessed over the past three days at the breeding grounds made Su Ping's lips twitch.

Life was so difficult…

"Wait a minute, I suddenly disappeared for three days—my family must be worried," Su Ping suddenly remembered, his heart skipping a beat.

"The host doesn't need to worry. The breeding ground and this place are not synchronized. Only three hours have passed outside," the system replied indifferently.
