Astral Pet Store (WN)

“Class A aptitude?”

“A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon?”

All the customers gathered outside of Su Ping’s shop were stunned by the whispers.

None of them were weak, being warriors able to afford and have a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon. They could overhear the conversations hundreds of meters away, unless they were being blocked by astral power.

They were all excited to hear that there was a beast with Class A aptitude.

Class A aptitude meant that it was an ultimate battle pet, which was extremely rare. Tier-4 or tier-5 planets would only have a handful of them!

Those beasts were as rare as the battle pet warriors enrolled in the top five academies in Silvy!

“Let’s go there and find out!”

“A Class A pet, which is also a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon? I wonder if he’s willing to sell it…”

“Tsk, tsk. I’ve never seen a Class A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon before. I wonder what it looks like.”

All the customers in Su Ping’s shop instantly swarmed out and headed to the pet assessment shop.

That shop was flooded by Su Ping’s previous customers and the battle pet warriors on the street. A Class A pet was beyond astounding!

The fact that it was a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon made it all the more exhilarating.

“Oh my god, it really is a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon!”

“Look at the readings! They’re really purple, Class A!”

Many people looked at the test pillar in the hall which was glowing with all kinds of data glamorously.

There was also a projection that showed a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon being scanned in the test room.

Someone experienced remarked with envy and jealousy, “The readings are starting to stabilize. It’s definitely a Class A pet!”

Having a Class A pet was shocking enough, but it was actually the popular pick, a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon!

“Is the pet owner someone from the Ryan family?”

“Not necessarily; maybe he’s from another planet. He could have tested it in his family’s facilities.”

Someone was so envious that he wailed, “When can I get a Class A pet? I’m fine with any from the combat class!”

That was how the world functioned: beautiful girls for rich guys; ultimate pets for major families or powerful organizations. People like him who had no background could only watch.

It was also why so many people hunted pets in the wilderness. All of them hoped they could catch a wild ultimate pet and then grow rich overnight!

One common Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon would cost one billion at least, while one graded with A Class was worth tens of billions!

Some of the major families would even go as far as to spend a hundred billion on such a pet to nurture and empower a descendant!

A brown-haired young man was rooted on the spot, right in the midst of the crowd while feeling completely blown away.

He had simply tested the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon he had just fought to detect its flaws. However, the testing pillar emanated purple light!

The readings didn’t drop either, after becoming purple. It was obvious that no flaws had been detected to drag them down.

A Class A pet?

I only paid about four hundred million for a Class A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon?

His ears were ringing considering all the jealous remarks directed at him. He felt as if he were dreaming. Everything was so unreal.

Wow!

Everybody exclaimed.

“The result is out!”

“The test has been completed! It really is a Class A!”

“It’s actually A-, but that is still extremely rare! It can be sold for tens of billions!”

Everybody in the assessment shop exclaimed excitedly.

All of them coveted beasts—such as the great Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon—and wanted to claim it, but they knew that whoever owned such a pet would most likely have some backing, and they couldn’t do anything.

A young purple-haired woman quickly walked to the brown-haired young man in the crowd.

“Hello, your pet has been tested. This way, please; let’s have a talk,” said the woman passionately. Those who knew her were quite surprised, as they had done everything to catch her attention and failed in the past. They never thought she would look at a male so invitingly.

“Huh?” The brown-haired young man finally moved his eyes away from the A- result on the testing pillar and looked at the purple-haired woman.

His eyes glittered the moment he looked at her.

She was very beautiful and elegant!

Still, he came to his senses and said warily, “A talk? About what? Who are you?”

“Sorry for my presumptuousness, I’m the manager of this shop. This is my place,” said the woman quickly and sincerely, “I wanted to talk to you about the selling of your pet…”

“Selling?”

The brown-haired young man changed his face. They want to get my dragon because of its A- rating?

Is she being serious?

There was no way that he would give away such a great pet!

…

The conversation between the young man and manager soon attracted everybody’s attention. Many of them looked at the unremarkable youngster.

This A- battle pet belongs to him?

“This guy looks downright mediocre.”

“Weird. He looks awfully familiar. I think I’ve seen him from somewhere.”

“Ah, I remember it now. Isn’t he the guy who bought a flawed Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon in the pet shop?”

“Damn, that’s right. Seriously? Is this dragon the one he bought just now?”

“How is it possible? He bought that one for a measly four hundred million. They can’t be the same.”

The customers who had been to Su Ping’s shop were discussing it heatedly. The others who weren’t present during the sale were surprised that any Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon could be sold for such a low price.

“Dude, is this Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon the one you bought in that shop?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

The brown-haired young man thought of Su Ping’s shop and was shocked.

He looked at everybody else. The customers who had been to Su Ping’s shop were obviously suspicious and found it hard to believe.

A treasure trove!

That shop was a treasure trove and nobody knew about it!

The brown-haired young man’s eyes were bloodshot. A random pet he got was already rated as A-. What about the other Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons in the shop?

Nobody had realized it yet except him!

Swoosh!

The young man’s heart was beating so fast he felt it was about to jump out of his chest. His mouth was dry, and he had no time to talk to the pretty girl. He simply sent his dragon back into his storage space.

He then excused himself and quickly left the crowd.

He walked so fast he almost seemed to be running.

Many people were awed by the A- pet so no one dared to stand in his way. Those whom he bumped into only dared to secretly curse at him, yet no one said anything out loud.

The young man soon rushed to the shop’s entrance. Then, he took a turn and went straight to Su Ping’s shop.

Once he was by the door, those who noticed where the young man was going exclaimed, “He’s going to that shop? Did he really buy the dragon there?”

All the people in the lobby were deeply shocked by this.

He paid four hundred million for that dragon?

How is that possible?

Were the pets in that shop never tested? If so, the boss of the shop is being been too careless!

An employee next to the assessment shop’s door said suspiciously, “I just saw that he came from that shop right across the street…”

Many people rushed out of the shop with glowing eyes once they heard that.

Boom!

Some people who had previously waited in line to enter Su Ping’s shop were so shocked that they crazily ran back to the Pixie Pet Store without considering whether that claim had been true.

The crowded assessment shop only had a few clerks left; even the door had been broken by the swarming people.

The purple-haired woman walked to her employee and asked very solemnly at this moment, “Nana, are you sure of that?”

The clerk panicked; she casually replied, “I—I’m sure…”

Whoosh!

The manager quickly disappeared and joined the crowd heading to Su Ping’s shop.

…

“Is the Class A rating very high?”

Su Ping also heard the exclamations earlier; he was surprised to see that all the customers had rushed out to check the assessment store in the blink of an eye.

If it’s that attractive, is it because it’s a rarely-seen super pet?

Even he became slightly curious.

However, there was one customer left in his shop, which was the young purple-haired girl who was willing to buy another Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon.

“Make the transfer if you want to get this dragon,” Su Ping said to the girl.

The purple-haired girl also looked at the crowd leaving but refrained from joining. She was more intent on finishing her own deal first.

She nodded. “Yes. I’d like to buy two dragons if it’s possible. Do you have any Void State ones?”

“Yes.”

Su Ping nodded and said, “All the pets in my shop must be under contract when they leave the shop, meaning that you must at least have two pet positions.”

“I do.” The purple-haired girl was rather timid.

Once he saw that, Su Ping said to Joanna, “Take a Void State dragon out.”

Joanna went to the back without saying a word, soon returning with the requested Void State dragon.

“This one costs 480 million. Make the payment first,” said Su Ping.

The girl looked at it and found that it was slightly stronger; the difference was obvious even though its size had been reduced.

She nodded and transferred the money to Su Ping.
