“All of them?”
Venerable the Blade could not believe this.
The battle pet projections were dazzling; they had to be dozens of beast kings there.
Su Ping was going to sell dozens of beast kings?
Where did he get all those beast kings?
They gazed at Su Ping with shock and questions. “Mr. Su, Mr. Su… I can have whichever one I like?” Qin Duhuang had to ask. He could not stop his voice from trembling even though he had reached the legendary rank.
“Of course,” Su Ping nodded with a smile and said, “But not just one. You can get as many as you want as long as you can sign the contracts here, and that you have enough money for them.”
As many as we want… His dear customers narrowed their eyes; they felt their hearts were racing. Su Ping was selling dozens of beast kings in one go and they were the first ones to arrive. They could get all they wanted… So, they could fill all of their contract spots with beast kings!
The thought of filling all the spots with beast kings excited them. “Go ahead and start choosing.” Su Ping did not want to waste more time. Something could go wrong outside at any time; no one could tell when the wild beasts could get there. His customers thanked him and started to go around and check the projections of the battle pets.
“If you want to see their details, unleash your astral powers into the projections and the information will show up in front of you,” Su Ping added.
His showroom had all sorts of advanced technologies. He believed that such a type of technology would be a commodity only seen in the Interstellar Federation.
Detailed information? They quickly poured out astral powers into the projections and the words began to merge in front of them.
Name, bloodline, rank, combat strength, skills… etc.
Such details!
They were even seeing what to feed the battle pets and what kind of environments they liked!
“The later stage of the Void State?”
Venerable the Blade and Qin Duhuang were in disbelief.
Those battle pets they were seeing were more powerful than they were! Of the entire Tower, only twelve were at the Void State!
At most, each legendary battle pet warrior would only have one or two beast kings of the Void State; the rest of their pets would usually be at the Ocean State.
Su Ping’s battle pets on sale could crush Void State legendary warriors…
The two curled their lips. They were at a loss for words.
In the meantime, Tang Ruyan, who was there as an attendant, Xie Jinshui and Zhou Tianlin poured out their astral powers into the projections of the battle pets that they liked. Soon, they were able to see the description.
The three of them were surprised by what they were seeing: those beast kings were at the later stage of the Void State!
One more step and those beast kings would reach the Fate State!
The three of them read the information carefully; the more they read, the more envious they became. They eventually stopped pouring out astral powers and the information vanished.
Later stage of the Void State… Those battle pets were too powerful for them.
Xie Jinshui and Zhou Tianlin felt sorry. They began to check the other battle pets.
Again? The later stage of the Void State!
Xie Jinshui and Zhou Tianlin were dumbstruck.
That one was the same as the previous one they saw!
What…? The two wondered where Su Ping could have found those battle pets and why he was so eager to sell them. How rich would he have to be to be that generous?
The two lingered for a bit as they appreciated that battle pet before they switched to the next one.
Once again, they were frozen on the spot.
Yet again… The later stage of the Void State.
Once they had given up on that battle pet, they heard Venerable the Blade and Qin Duhuang shouting almost at the same time, “Mr. Su, I want this one!”
They seemed to be in a rush, as if afraid someone else would get ahead of them.
Qin Duhuang and Venerable the Blade had already run to Su Ping and they were ready to pay.
Su Ping cautioned them, “Are you sure you found the right one at first glance? Don’t you want to go around and check out the others? There might be some battle pets with skills that don’t work well with you… As for the price, it is included in the introduction at the bottom. Haven’t you seen them?”
Introduction? Venerable the Blade and Qin Duhuang blushed. They didn’t finish reading the information before they rushed over to say they wanted to pay.
After all, those were battle pets at the later stage of the Void State!
They couldn’t have battle pets more powerful than those!
They did not care if the battle pets’ skills were suitable. They didn’t have to fight alongside the battle pets; those pets could overwhelm the enemies on their own!
“I am gonna go ahead and have a look!” Venerable the Blade hurried to check the information of the battle pet he was intending to buy.
Venerable the Blade felt that he was a lucky guy because the first battle pet he had seen was at the later stage of the Void State. It would be a good idea to try my luck at the lottery… Of course, he wasn’t interested in getting any money. Winning a lottery was not as efficient as hunting beasts. After all, the cost of hunting and selling beasts was almost negligible.
The price… Venerable the Blade skipped the rest of the information and reached the end.
The price is… 317 million?! Venerable the Blade wondered if he was counting the zeroes wrong.
A battle pet at the later stage of the Void State was being sold at around three hundred million?!
Su Ping was practically giving out the battle pets for free!
Venerable the Blade was confused. He turned around and gazed at Su Ping who was calmly standing there. The former remembered how Su Ping was defending the Longjing Base City. He had been there to make vigorous efforts in order to turn the situation around. He then saved the day after killing countless wild beasts!
Maybe selling those battle pets is in a way like charity for Su Ping… Venerable the Blade exclaimed inwardly. He couldn’t find any words to describe how much he respected Su Ping. “Mr. Su, the price is a little over three hundred million…”
“Yes, that is correct.” Su Ping nodded. “I told you to bring ten billion. I don’t know how much you have with you, but I think spending three to four billion would be enough to fill up all your battle pet spots.” Venerable the Blade was stunned.
At first, he did wonder if Su Ping had written down the price wrong. But it seemed that… there were no mistakes. He was even thinking about letting Venerable the Blade fill up all the empty spots.
Venerable the Blade had not checked the other battle pets, but he could tell that those were all beast kings.
After a moment of silence, Venerable the Blade put forward his question, “Mr. Su, are you thinking about letting me get those beast kings so that I can fight better in the upcoming strike?”
Su Ping answered honestly. “That is true. The wild beasts from the Deep Caves are coming and they’re going to reach every corner of the world. I cannot save the world by myself. I hope you can help me.” But we would be using the battle pets you gave us and it would still be you who will save everyone… Venerable the Blade thought to himself. He gazed at the young man who deserved all of his respect and admiration.
Venerable the Blade took a deep breath and promised solemnly, “I understand. Together, we will defend the territory of all humankind till the last moment of our lives!”
“Don’t get all sentimental on me. I know you will.” Su Ping smiled. “Go and look at the battle pets. Take your time. Tang, come and help me.”
Tang Ruyan, who was still absorbed in reading the information of the third battle pet she had seen, had to give up checking the beasts’ stats. She ran to Su Ping and asked, “Help you with what?”
“Write down the names of the battle pets that they want to buy,,” Su Ping said. Tang Ruyan looked at Venerable the Blade, Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang-who were trying to move closer to stay something but were hesitant—then pouted at Su Ping. “I just saw some of the battle pets and they’re all at the later stage of the Void State. I want more battle pets. Do you have any at the later stage of the Ocean State? Can I choose one…?”
“Do your job,” Su Ping refused mercilessly.
He didn’t recall whether he had any battle pets of that rank; he might have one or two. Of course he would have saved Ocean State battle pets for her.
Tang Ruyan curled her lips but said nothing else.
But Venerable the Blade was surprised by what she said.
She saw three and all were at the later stage of the Void State…?
He couldn’t help but ask Su Ping, “Mr. Su, how many Void State beast kings do you have in total?”
Qin Duhuang, Zhou Tianlin, and Xie Jinshui had the same questions because all the other beasts they had seen… were at the later stage of the Void State!
Xie Jinshui didn’t know if they should feel sad or happy about this. They wondered if all the battle pets were at the Void State… If so, no matter how astonishing the pets were, they would have wasted this trip. After all, neither of the two would have been able to choose battle pets like those.
“Basically all of them,” Su Ping said, “That is why I told you to take a good look and find the ones that best suit you. Take your time.” Silence fell.
They were all dumbstruck.
Tang Ruyan was the first to come back to senses.
No wonder this guy wouldn’t let me choose. None of the battle pets would suit me. I knew that this guy would keep the goodies within the family…
“So? Qin, have you decided which ones you want to buy?” Su Ping asked Qin Duhuang.
Qin Duhuang laughed a hollow laugh. “No, not yet. I’m just, checking at the moment…” He didn’t have to rush into anything since all the battle pets were at the Void State. He could pick the ones that best suited him, or the one with the highest combat strength.
Venerable the Blade was still baffled.
“So many beast kings of the Void State… Mr. Su, you…”
“That’s my secret.” Su Ping smiled.
Venerable the Blade knew he had crossed the line. “Mr. Su, I’m sorry. That is not what I meant.”
“It’s okay. Go ahead and find the battle pets you want.” Su Ping did not mind that.
Venerable the Blade and Qin Duhuang strode away. Zhou Tianlin and Xie Jinshui looked at each other and both were smiling bitterly. Zhou Tianlin said, “Mr. Su… I don’t think there’s much for me to do here… since all the battle pets available are at the Void State.”
Xie Jinshui felt a little bit better than Zhou Tianlin. Even though he couldn’t buy those battle pets himself, he knew that having that many beast kings of the Void State on their side would form a force even more powerful than the Tower. Su Ping had made greater contributions on his own than the Tower itself!
“I called you here for a reason.”
Su Ping looked at Wu Guansheng who had not spoken; he had clearly been unable to hide his disappointment. “I have two fruits that can help the two of you reach the legendary rank. Afterwards, you’ll be able to buy those battle pets.”
“Fruits? Legendary rank?”
Zhou Tianlin and Wu Guansheng, were taken aback. They stared at Su Ping in disbelief.
They would have questioned that statement if they hadn’t seen all of those battle pets at the Void State first; they were sure that Su Ping was most likely serious! Su Ping was a man of mystery that they couldn’t fathom!
The fact that they could reach the legendary rank seemed too good to be true; they felt they were dreaming
Xie Jinshui was frustrated since Su Ping didn’t include him.
Venerable the Blade and Qin Duhuang stopped what they were doing and turned around in shock.
Tang Ruyan knew that Su Ping would not joke about those matters, but… He didn’t think of her!
She felt sorry for herself.
“Hold your horses and listen.” Su Ping smiled. “First of all, the fruit is expensive. Second of all, taking the fruits has some side effects. For example, you’ll be weaker than the other legendary battle pet warriors at the Ocean State and you’ll be limited to the legendary tier, or even just the Ocean State. You may not be able to make further breakthroughs…”
Wu Guansheng and Zhou Tianlin were sobered up by that explanation. Su Ping was serious. They were thrilled. As for the side effects, it was something they could live with.
They would never be able to reach the legendary rank on their own. At least that’s what they thought.
The overall situation would continue getting worse; they believed that reaching the legendary rank could greatly benefit them. At the very least, their chances of survival would increase!
“I’ll take it!”
As a family head, Zhou Tianlin was quick and resolute when it came to making decisions. “No matter how expensive it is, I am willing to pay for it, even if it means I have to break the bank. Mr. Su, thank you for this great opportunity…” He bowed to his waist.
