Astral Pet Store (WN)

Can they succeed? That was the same question the rest of the legendary and titled battle pet warriors would want to ask. That person could have saved the Blue Planet with a wave of his hand, but he left. They had been unable to persuade him. Could they… help themselves?

“It’s okay. Do not worry.”

Gu Siping stayed calm. “I knew about the Deep Caves. Those wild beasts could have had a future if they would have stayed in the Deep Caves… But, since they’ve decided to dig their own graves, we’re going to take this chance to destroy them once and for all!”

The others were dumbstruck.

Destroy them?

Who would destroy who?

The entire world was in danger at the moment, eight Fate State beasts from the Deep Caves had been accounted for thus far. How could Gu Siping boast in this situation?

They wondered if he indeed had other means or whether he was merely trying to comfort them.

“This disaster which has plagued us for a thousand years should end,” Gu Siping crossed his arms behind his back and said, “I wouldn’t have let them leave just like this if I didn’t have another solution. The right time has not come yet. Do your jobs as planned and keep the wild beasts occupied.

“The world is big and there are some places that we cannot reach. Give them up. Do not waste our resources.”

They all stood there, dumbstruck.

His composure somehow helped them feel at ease.

Deep down, they had always trusted that, they did have a solution!

Some people remembered how Gu Siping had received those people from the Hugh Mia Academy. Gu Siping was quite humble and respectful, but he would have been humbler if they indeed had no other solution to the crisis!

After all, Gu Siping had to deal with the wild beasts from the Deep Caves as well. He was the one most exposed to danger as a matter of fact, since he would be the main target!

Also…

They thought of the many treasures that Gu Siping had. He never mentioned his intriguing artifacts while he was begging.

He would have given up those artifacts if he were at the end of his wits, just to get a chance for the man at the Star Rank to lend a hand.

How sophisticated of him. They could not understand how their master was going to solve the problem.

Using his battle pets?

A person at the Fate State could sign a contract with thirteen battle pets, but it was unlikely that he would have more than three or four of such battle pets.

There were eight wild beasts at the Fate State from the Deep Caves.

They could not see through him nor understand him, but they had to trust him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The spaceship was traveling tens of thousands of meters above the ground.

“Mr. Fang, the messenger lied to us… We wasted so much time. Why didn’t you point it out?” said the auburn haired lady.

Mr. Fang shared his view. “Those are the deep-rooted bad habits we find when we contact cave people. They are weak, but they like fighting each other. There are more qualified kids on this planet, but… they would not get a chance.

“They thought that this chance was only for the few, while we’re actually offering this chance to all of them.

“Many people dream about going to our academy. Sometimes a planet would be named after a kid, when one or two of their scions were selected by our academy.

“But not on this planet. They don’t have a sense of shared honor.”

The lady with red hair heaved a sigh. “It’s hard for people who don’t come from a strong background to move up in life, and that applies to all corners of the universe. Sometimes, there are people with chances, but others can swoop down and snatch them. What a shame.”

“That’s life. You should know that the middle-aged man carried the scent of another person. He did go to see that kid and the kid did say no. I don’t think those people in the Tower would dare to force anyone to say no. Not just yet,” the middle-aged teacher added.

“He’s so blind he actually refused us. I don’t need to interview such ignorant folk.”

With that said, the teacher closed his eyes. “I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up when we arrive in Silvy.”

“Okay.”

Longjiang Base City.

Pixie Pet Store.

Xie Jinshui called Su Ping and he sounded happy. “Mr. Su, we managed to borrow Space Swallowers from the Sheng-Long Defense Line and someone is coming meet you. He should arrive in no time.”

Su Ping was learning the Heaven Lock formation from Joanna when he received the call.

“Some time has passed since I requested them… I wonder if I can make it.”

Su Ping looked at the time after he hung up. It had been two hours since that middle-aged man had left.

He heaved a sigh and went to the door.

Soon after, a legendary battle pet warrior at the Ocean State arrived.

Whoosh!

It was a short, old man with a mole on his cheek. He stood in front of the store; out of reflex, he saw the two dragon statues waiting on the sides of the staircase. He felt that they were two genuine dragons trapped in a rock shell.

A fat, purple-haired rat was crawling by the foot of one dragon. The old man seemed to be surprised by the animal.

This Lightning Rat is at the sixth rank?!

“You must be here to hand me the Space Swallowers.”

Su Ping’s voice came from inside the store.

The old man was startled. He saw a person coming out from the store; he turned pale when he saw Su Ping’s face. He was there when Su Ping killed two legendary battle pet warriors at the Tower.

This vicious man!

The old man cupped his fists and said fearfully, “You must be Mr. Su. I have the Space Swallowers. Do you intend to contact the Tower?”

“Yes. Give them to me,” Su Ping said.

The old man reached his hand into his sleeve pocket and took out a boneless bug with delicate movements. “Mr. Su, Space Swallowers are quite rare; please treat this one with care. I’ll help you contact the Tower so you can talk to them directly.”

The old man set up a soundproof barrier to cover both Su Ping and himself. In the meantime, the Space Swallower began to wiggle. A small swirl appeared in the air.

“Yes? Who’s there?”

A hoarse voice was heard.

The old man replied, “Sir, I am Xu Xiong, currently deployed to cover the Longjiang Base City from the Xing-Jing Defense Line. I’m with Mr. Su; he said he needed to tell you something important.”

“Su Ping?”

Gu Siping, who was just going back to his cottage after saying goodbye to the others, came to a sudden stop. “Weren’t you in the Sheng-Long Defense Line? What are you doing in the Xing-Jing Defense Line? What does he have to say? Can’t he use some other means for this?”

“I…”

Xu Xiong felt he was in a pickle.

He also complained about this but Su Ping was a man of violence.

Su Ping had killed a Fate State beast not long before, and the video went viral across the three defense lines. Xu Xiong had also seen that video as well. When only considering combat strength alone, Su Ping was as good as the master of the Tower! “You’re the master? I heard that some people from the Interstellar Federation came here to recruit students. Where are they?” Su Ping asked coldly.

“What? I thought you turned them down. Now you feel regret?” Gu Siping raised his eyebrows and sneered. “Unfortunately for you, they have already left; it is too late to regret. Alas, young man, sometimes you can’t be too proud of yourself; you have to get rid of your arrogance, okay?”

He was implying something else.

Su Ping had gone to the Tower and refused to join them.

Since he was otherwise occupied, Gu Siping didn’t come out to stop him and he didn’t even care about that young man.

Su Ping’s talent was scary but that was it. He could always be eliminated.

“They left?”

Su Ping pulled a long face and clenched his fingers. “The legendary battle pet warrior, did he play you the message that he helped me record?”

“What? What message? What recording?” Gu Siping frowned. Since when was there a recording?

Su Ping took a deep breath in.

That person didn’t submit the recording.

That man might have just said that I refused to go to the interview.

Damn it!

Su Ping was furious. If only that man would have played that recording, he believed that those people wouldn’t leave just like that, unless they were really in a hurry to go somewhere.

“Stupid! Stupid!” Su Ping could even anticipate what the middle-aged man was thinking and that thought couldn’t be forgiven…

Because the price would be the sacrifice of billions of lives!

Countless families would be broken!

“That teacher is at the Star Rank; he could have saved the Blue Planet from the wild beasts! You, the leader of the Tower, simply allowed them to leave!”

Su Ping was transferring all his anger to the master of the Tower. He believed that the man had dropped the ball!

He was the leader of the world!

He was the one who was constantly showered with respect and admiration.

Being such a critical time, he could have resorted to kneeling and begging to make that person stay at all costs!

He could have offered some benefits. The Tower had gathered many treasures over the years; there had to be something that those people from the Federation would find intriguing enough so that they would stay! If nothing worked, the only explanation would be that those people were as hard as the nether millstone.

“Huh?”

Gu Siping raised his eyebrows. He knew that the young man was arrogant, but he never expected that Su Ping would be bold enough to scold him.

That was the first time since he began his work as a master of the Tower; to have someone speaking to him with that tone.

Of course, except for those from the Interstellar Federation.

“Are you teaching me a lesson?” Gu Siping asked.

“Yes, damn right I’m teaching you a lesson!” Su Ping snarled and said, “I would have taught the hell out of you… If only I had known that you were this incapable.”

“You!” Gu Siping widened his eyes.

The old man standing in front of Su Ping was dumbstruck.

Su Ping just swore in front of the master of the Tower!

Is that man… nuts?!

There was no way that he could undo what he just did. He and the master of the Tower would share a deep seated hatred!

The old man knew that Su Ping could be arrogant, but he didn’t know he was a lunatic!

“Young man, listen to me, I suggest you behave according to the circumstances.”

Gu Siping bit his teeth to keep down his anger. He managed to swallow back a not so pleasant talk.

After all, he was a man of high status; hurling abuse just like Su Ping would definitely not be presentable; he could end up becoming the butt of a joke.

“You piece of trash!” Su Ping kept on.

He never stopped; he would not stop since he had started the thing.

A piece of trash!

That master of the Tower was good for nothing!

Finally, someone who could save the Blue Planet had paid them a visit; he was there but he let them go. What was he thinking!?

Money, girls, treasures…

He should have asked those people to help even at the cost of gifting all the resources and treasures from the Blue Planet.

After all, the recent beast strike was no trivial matter.

Roughly estimating, there were over a dozen beast kings at the Fate State around the world, but Su Ping could only protect Longjiang and help the other defense lines of the Subcontinent District. As for the other continents… There were people there, too, even though their skin colors could be different!

This master of the Tower can only stay on one continent. But what about the other continents?

That was a massive disaster that history would never forget! “You-hmph!”

Gu Siping was livid with rage. Su Ping simply kept going! This young man has a dirty mouth!

“Xu Xiong, leave that place and don’t get involved with this person again,” Gu Siping said to Xu Xiong

Shouting abuses at Su Ping would be pointless. Gu Siping just wanted to end that irritating conversation.

“Er… Yes, sir.” Xu Xiong didn’t know what to say for a second. He then glanced at Su Ping. This young man is scary!

“I’m not done yet. Either you shit or you get off the pot…” Su Ping was trying to say more things, but the swirl in space began to shrink down.

The contact broke. Su Ping snorted and heaved a sigh. He had cursed the master of the Tower but he was not feeling any better. “You may go back,” Su Ping said to the old man.

No one else was there to help, since those from the Interstellar Federation had already left. He had to try his best to protect as many people around him as possible in the strike.

He didn’t know how many he could save. He wasn’t even sure he could protect Longjiang as it was.

“Okay.”

Xu Xiong exhaled in relief after Su Ping went back into the store. He was glad since the young man didn’t vent his anger on him.

Xu Xiong stored the Space Swallower carefully and flew away without making much noise.

“Let’s continue with the lesson,” Su Ping said to Joanna.

Joanna nodded. “Don’t worry so much. Either way, you’ll be perfectly safe on the streets, at least. I’ll eliminate those beasts for you if they get here!”

Su Ping forced a bitter smile. How many people would die if only the streets would remain safe? How many people would die? How many would survive?

After a “conversation” between the Subcontinent District and Gu Siping, half a day later, in the dead of night, a shocking piece of news reached the master intelligence station of the Subcontinent District.

Many frontline workers who were there had been struck speechless after reading the news.
