Chapter 335 Exchanging Experience? I’m Too Busy for That
“Are you the boss here?”
Qin Shaotian stepped closer to the counter and kept his voice low.
“Yes.”
Qin Shaotian kept on acting all mysterious, which Su Ping found foolish.
Qin Shaotian gazed at Su Ping. I dared to ask, but I didn’t think you’d dare to answer, Qin Shaotian thought, If you’re the boss, then how do you explain the girl from the Tang family?
Of course, Qin Shaotian didn’t plan on “nailing the lie.” He could not figure out why the Tang family heiress would be at the store. If the Tang family wanted to establish some business in the Longjiang Base City, there would be no need for their future family head to personally go there, not to mention staying there as a store attendant. What was the meaning of her presence in the store? Whatever the Tang family might be up to, Qin Shaotian was not in the mood to probe further. He might not be able to leave the store if he stumbled upon some secrets.
A family member had cautioned him against getting involved with the store. The Qin Family and the store were not in conflict. Still, both the Qin family and other major families had yet to find out why the store appeared in the Longjiang Base City. Therefore, to keep a safe distance was the best strategy. Qin Shaotian didn’t tell anyone that he would go there, except for an elder loyal to him who was waiting outside the store. Qin Shaotian was eager to find out what was odd about the store.

As for his safety, he had already considered it. He believed the store would not do him any harm. After all, the store had made enemies in the Liu and Zhou families. It was unlikely that the store would also aim to offend the Qin Family at the same time. Besides, the elder was just outside. Qin Shaotian believed that he could escape safely on the off chance that a dangerous situation would occur.
“Sir, I heard that your surname is Su, is it? Some seniors in my family have told me about you.” Qin Shaotian squinted. He knew that the young man was Su Ping, the big brother of the girl who had defeated him the day prior.
Qin Shaotian researched the girl once he got back home the day before. It was not a hard job. Her name, registered residence, and educational background were clearly listed.
However, information about her family members was vague.
In particular, when it came to her brother Su Ping, the information was not complete. The municipal government wasn’t even willing to reveal anything about him. “Really?”
Su Ping thought of Qin Shuhai. That was the only senior member of the Qin family he knew.
Su Ping remained calm. Qin Shaotian didn’t mind that he would expose his identity there. He believed that Su Ping had most likely recognized him already. After all, he could not fake his energy. Besides, Uncle Qin Shuhai had told him that the young man was possibly a titled battle pet warrior.
As for whether the young man was indeed at the titled rank, that remained to be confirmed. Still, he did seem to have strength equal to the titled rank.
To others, this piece of news might seem unbelievable. But when Qin Shaotian first heard this, his shock lasted for merely a second. After all, he also had a strong ability, enough to kill ninth-rank beasts.
Even if Qin Shuhai didn’t exaggerate anything about the store owner, he would just be another talent like Qin Shaotian.
Qin Shaotian was not used to the fact that someone else in the Longjiang Base City could be as powerful as he was but he could accept it.
He had broader visions. He was fully aware that there were plenty of other geniuses in other places. For example, the academy he was soon going to attend was a place where the talented gathered. At the store, a store assistant who was the future family head of the Tang family was also an example.
But, sooner or later, he would best them.
His target was to become stronger and stronger! “I heard that you are a titled battle pet warrior. Is that true?” Qin Shaotian kept his voice low.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. “Just rumors. I haven’t reached that rank yet.”
Su Ping remained calm. Qin Shaotian grinned slightly; that was what he thought. All titled battle pet warriors had actual titles; for example, Qin Shuhai was the King of Swords.
But not even Qin Shuhai knew Su Ping’s title. Qin Shuhai had asked about Su Ping’s title. However, every time, Su Ping would reply that he had yet to reach that rank and that he had no title yet.
As such, Qin Shuhai could only tell that Su Ping had titled-rank abilities but he was not sure what the truth was.
Qin Shaotian was convinced that if Su Ping was not faking his age, then he could not be a titled battle pet warrior. It was unlikely that a titled battle pet warrior could be that young. It wasn’t necessary for anyone to reach that rank so early!
To rise too high in the ranks would not be beneficial. Rather, that would mean weak foundations and no hope at reaching the legendary rank.
The more talented one was, the more they would try to better their foundation. The talents would not just pursue fast cultivation speed alone. “After the Elite League, when you are free, I hope we could find a chance for a match to exchange experience.” Meeting a matched rival, Qin Shaotian’s heart was becoming itchy.
He wanted to wait until the Elite League ended for a reason.
Half a year back, he could have reached the seventh-rank. However, for the interest of the family and the Elite League, he had been deliberately trying not to break through. During the past six months, he had shifted his focus to study skills and battle pets.
After the Elite League ended, he would be able to make the climb to the seventh-rank directly.
By then, with the increase in rank and the accumulated experience from the past six months, he would become much more powerful!
Since Su Ping had never participated in the Elite League, Qin Shuhai thought that it was most likely Su Ping’s rank was higher than the upper limit required in the Elite League. At the moment, fighting against Su Ping who was possibly at the seventh-rank or eighth-rank would put him, who was at the sixth-rank, at a disadvantage.
Su Ping was Su Lingyue’s brother and Qin Shuhai would talk favorably of him. Qin Shaotian had to regard Su Ping as a young man just as talented as he was, and would have to stay humble when meeting him.
“Exchange experience?”
Su Ping shook his head. “Not interested. I’m very busy.” TI?
Qin Shaotian didn’t see that coming. He had thought of many possible answers from him and the only thing he didn’t expect was that Su Ping would directly turn him down.
Was Su Ping too much of a coward if he was avoiding to fight one of his peers?
“I don’t offer training partner service here. Are you here to train your battle pet or to challenge me? If it is the latter, you can go. I don’t have time.”
Su Ping didn’t sugarcoat any words. He wished he had more time to cultivate. His time was too precious to be wasted on such a kid.
Qin Shaotian was astounded.
He could tell that Su Ping was not lying, which filled him with more questions. But he couldn’t pressure Su Ping into accepting the challenge. This was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, not his true intention of going there.
“I’m here to train my battle pet,” Qin Shaotian answered immediately and then asked, “Was that dragon trained here? Seriously?”
“Yeah.”
Su Ping had answered the question countless times this day. Almost every customer would pose this question. He was getting bored but he could understand why the customers would be curious. The Moonfrost Dragon created a huge sensation the day before. Qin Shaotian asked another question, “Do you still have the training service for the guaranteed championship?”
What was the meaning of that?
Qin Shuhai had just lost the other day. Did he sense that he couldn’t win the championship and was out of options?
“There will only be one champion. But guaranteed second place is still available,” Su Ping answered and took another look at Qin Shaotian. Given his strength, even without his help, it shouldn’t be hard for Qin Shaotian to win second place. Qin Shaotian knew that he had chosen the wrong words. He shook his head and replied, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just saying that I want to buy the best training service, the one used on the dragon.”
Su Ping was unable to follow the train of thought of the rich.
Qin Shaotian seemed to have only gone there to test the training services.
Of course, Su Ping would welcome all customers. His service was of high quality and he should never be fearful of any testing. Besides, he might win over another loyal “generous” customer.
Considering Qin Shaotian’s background and resources, he could become one of the professional training’s long term buyers.
He believed that Qin Shaotian would not care for general training. “The best training at the moment is the professional training, the one the dragon went through. The dragon took more training sessions, though.” Then, Su Ping added to himself, And the dragon received some divine energy. Su Ping didn’t use divine energy on the pets of other customers who bought professional training. The training in the Demigod Burial alone would be more than enough to meet the requirements of professional training and make the pets grow stronger.
