Astral Pet Store (WN)

The system replied after a moment of silence. “Put away those filthy thoughts of yours. Dream Inducer doesn’t work that way. Some masters would use this potion on their students to pass on legacies, or people would use it to study some secret skills. Although memories would be lost the muscles would not forget the battles.” “What filthy thought? I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re the one snooping on me all day long and you’re calling me filthy,” Su Ping retorted. “Not snooping. Observing.”

“…To hell with that!”

The system was becoming more shameless with each passing day.

The muscles won’t forget. I believe this indeed is a good buy. Such a shame…” Su Ping heaved a sigh.

“What is a shame?”

“That I have to use this good stuff for the right purposes.”

Su Ping put away the Dream Inducer and started another round of refresh and purchase.

He refreshed the shop several times and only stopped when the cost had increased to a record high. He got another skill during the attempts, named Rock Dash!

It was just as rare as the Black Tortoise Shield, both elementary divine skills.

The Rock Dash was more aggressive.

Su Ping absorbed the skill book right after he purchased it. Rules of space were integrated into the skill. As such, his understanding of the working mechanism of space had been deepened.

If a legendary battle pet warrior at the Ocean State were to learn the skill, there would be a chance for said person to master teleportation; that should be unique to the Void State!

Su Ping also bought two more advanced beast-catching rings. He had also bought food for pets of the undead family: Blood of Impurity.

The Blood of Impurity was delicious for most pets of the undead family. The food could increase energy for undead creatures and even inspire mutation.

However, for more advanced creatures of the undead family, the Blood of Impurity would not inspire a mutation.

Su Ping bought it for the Little Skeleton so that its energy could increase.

Since the Little Skeleton had the Skeleton King’s bloodline, the food wouldn’t make the Little Skeleton evolve.

He closed the shop and walked around his store.

He went into the test room and noticed that the room was much more spacious than before. The room was set to recreate an ocean; large waves reached high before splashing down. Tang Ruyan sat on the beach, with a light green glow around her.

She was cultivating the Glass Bulwark.

Su Ping sensed that she was still at the seventh-rank.

That wasn’t strange. After all, one day had just passed in reality. Although the herbs could help her, she couldn’t have absorbed all the herbs at once.

This isn’t fast enough.

Su Ping shook his head.

All of a sudden, he remembered the Dream Inducer.

Su Ping thought of an idea. He sought confirmation with the system, “If I use the Dream Inducer on her, can I take her to a cultivation site?”

The system had mentioned that the muscle memory would be kept. If that was true, then he could help her tap into her full potential, not worrying about her having any memory of the cultivation sites.

“Affirmative.”

The system answered, “But you’ll have to sign a contract and make her your pet.”

“For real?”

Su Ping was surprised. Really?

No wonder he would find this potion in the system’s shop. Had the system prepared it for him?

That was to say, he could train other people in the future.

After all, as far as the system was concerned, all living things were pets. He could train others’ pets and train others at once. But he would have to have Dream Inducer first.

“Let me have a try. If this works, I can use it on her when I get another Dream Inducer.” Su Ping said to himself. He was thinking of the girl studying in the academy.

He could train his sister himself if the effect of the training could be kept but the memory of the cultivation site would be lost.

“Tang.”

Su Ping called Tang Ruyan. Tang Ruyan opened her eyes. The faint green glow around her helped her fend off the waves. “Yes?” She turned to Su Ping, asking curiously. “Come over here. I have something good for you.”

While he said those words, he realized they sounded a little bit weird on his ears.

“Huh?”

Tang Ruyan wore a pleased expression. Good thing? Is Su Ping going to give me a beast king?

She had witnessed Su Ping selling beast kings many times. It wasn’t strange if Su Ping suddenly decided to give away a beast king. After all, Su Ping was practically giving away beast kings with those cheap selling prices. She soon remembered her cultivation. She was at the seventh-rank. She could not sign a contract with a beast king.

The glow in her eyes died down. Even so, she stopped training, got up and hurried over to approach Su Ping.

“What is it?” Tang Ruyan asked.

She couldn’t sign a contract with a beast king and Su Ping surely knew that. He had to be talking about something else.

“Well, close your eyes first.”

That sounded even weirder. Tang Ruyan found it strange as well, but she did as she had been told.

Su Ping was about to take out the Dream Inducer when he fell into a daze. For the first time, he noticed that the girl… was quite beautiful.

“Done?” Tang Ruyan asked. She was blushing. “Right away.” Su Ping came back to his senses and took out the Dream Inducer at once.

It was a strange golden pellet with some special lines inscribed on it. Su Ping had been told the application method when he bought it. He crushed the pellet under Tang Ruyan’s nose, and a dark red mist gushed out, which seeped into Tang Ruyan’s nose.

“What was that?” Tang Ruyan wanted to open her eyes.

“It’s okay. You can open your eyes now.” Su Ping was relieved she had absorbed the pellet completely.

Tang Ruyan asked curiously, “What is that beautiful smell?”

“Nothing. I’m going to take you somewhere. Come with me,” Su Ping said.

He was still unsure so he asked the system again, “Are you sure this will work?”

“Yes.” The system was sure.

Su Ping had to trust the system. He took Tang Ruyan to the pet room.

He canceled the contract with one of the pets he was going to train and took out a temporary contract, which he placed on Tang Ruyan’s forehead.

“What… is that?” Tang Ruyan was confused. Suddenly, she felt something was entering her mind. Her instincts told her to be nice to Su Ping, and she wanted to trust him.

That sudden appearance of closeness fastened her heartbeat.

“Think of it as a dream,” Su Ping said.

He took a deep breath. He chose to go to a divinity realm.

He had failed to find the goddess for Dusk in the divinity world he had previously visited; he was going to another so that he could train the pets while continuing the search.

The swirl appeared and took Su Ping and Tang Ruyan in.

It was also a middle-rank cultivation site. Su Ping was able to feel profound Divine Energy around him as soon as they landed.

The vortexes in his cells began to operate, pulling the Divine Energy in.

“Where… are we?” Tang Ruyan was baffled after finding that she was in a completely unfamiliar world.

How could she appear in a completely different world when she opened her eyes?

What happened?
