Chapter 250 Whopping Price



Chapter 250 Whopping Price

“You mentioned that it’ll be fine as long as the pet is not at the first rank. Here is one at the third rank. Have at it!”

The young man opened up his contract space and from it hopped out a Flame-tail Hound which was a commonly seen third-rank pet with a fourth-rank bloodline, a weaker species among all the middle-rank pets.

The advantage of Flame-tail Hounds was that they were aggressive, and compared to other pets of the same rank, they were more skilled in combat. They were loyal, easy to be tamed, and could easily build a relationship with their masters.

Pet loyalty was important. At critical moments, the most loyal pets would sacrifice their lives for their masters.

On the other hand, the less loyal and more violent pets could abandon their masters in risky situations.

Su Ping darted a look at the Flame-tail Hound and said, “No problem. One million for professional training. Pay the bill.”

The young man sneered as he transferred one million to Su Ping.

Su Ping heard the ringtone, knowing that he had pocketed ten thousand energy points. He didn’t bother to argue with that young man anymore. Since he had yet to build up his brand, he was prepared for doubts and questions.

“Tang Ruyan, come here and take the pet inside,” Su Ping shouted to Tang Ruyan.

“What kind of isolated place is this? How come no one can recognize me!?”

In the distance, Tang Ruyan was glaring at the people in the store.

None of the ones who had stepped inside had recognized her. Most people ignored her completely because their sole attention was on Joanna.

Tang Ruyan felt she had lost completely to Joanna in the battle of appearances.

In the old days, Tang Ruyan was the one who overwhelmed other girls with her looks and her temperament. Things had turned around for her this time.

She was furious!

She was sulking. When Su Ping shouted to her, Tang Ruyan stomped her feet and went over.

“Joanna, go to the pet room,” Su Ping told Joanna to be in charge of the pet room while Tang Ruyan took over her job outside in the store.

Tang Ruyan was not connected with the store, So, she could not go into the pet room, nor use the functions in the pet room.

Besides, Su Ping had never intended to recruit Tang Ruyan as a formal employee. The reason was simple. She wasn’t capable enough.

Joanna represented the standard for future employees. If Su Ping were to hire someone else, that person couldn’t be too weak in front of Joanna. Therefore, Tang Ruyan could only take on some temporary and basic responsibilities.

“Sure.”

Joanna left for the pet room, glad that she could finally get rid of the guys that were rambling around her to chat her up.

If it weren’t for the employee rules, she would have smashed all those annoying, petty human beings into dust. Tang Ruyan rolled her eyes. She could not believe that she had to walk around with this third-rank Flame-tail Hound. In the old days, she wouldn’t bother to look at such a low-rank pet twice. At the moment, she had to take care of one. Alas, due to Su Ping’s despotic power, she had no other choice but to take the Flame-tail Hound to the pet room.

Though the young man had communicated with the Flame-tail Hound, it was still unwilling to part when the time came. It grabbed the floor with its paws and would not move an inch no matter what.

Tang Ruyan was still vexed from before, and her mood worsened with this dog bugging her. Instantly, she unleashed her astral powers, and the strength that belonged to seventh-rank battle pet warriors swarmed out from her.

Her eyes glistened brightly, showing intense killing intent.

Woof...

The Flame-tail Hound quivered in dread and whined.

The young man was about to comfort his pet again when Tang Ruyan exhibited her power, taking him by surprise. Only then did the young man begin to notice this girl dressed up like a waitress. For a moment, he couldn’t look away from her.

He didn’t know that...

Even waitresses could be so mighty and beautiful.

Besides, Tang Ruyan appeared to be about 18 or 19 years old. She couldn’t be older than he was.

She is so powerful. Is she an advanced battle pet warrior?!

The young man was dumbfounded. Even a waitress at the store turned out to be horrifying. Given the age of this waitress, she was more than talented if she had been able to reach her rank!

In his view, those talents should be in a circle of admirers surrounding them. They would never go to a store like that one, let alone working as a waitress there.

Illusions.

He had to be hallucinating.

The young man shook his head and frowned.

Having received the money, Su Ping was no longer in the mood to argue with that young man. “Do you want anything else? If not, come and pick up your pet tomorrow.”

In other words, you may leave now.

The young man raised his eyebrows. “Fine. I shall be waiting,” he said as if he were issuing a challenge and left.

Soon, the rest of the people swarmed over and orbited around Su Ping as they began to gabble about the store. Someone was even asking about some gossip related to Mu Shuangwan.

What chaos. “Get in line,” Su Ping hollered.

Tang Ruyan had returned from her duty of handing the Flame-tail Hound to Joanna. Looking at the messy crowd, Su Ping said to Tang Ruyan, “Go and tell them to line up. Keep the order here.”

– III

Tang Ruyan was foaming at the mouth. She was the future family head of the Tang Family and Su Ping was treating her like a waitress for real.

She took a deep breath.

She had to endure this humiliation to carry out an important task!

Come on!

She had survived the children’s army of the Tang Family; she had suffered countless difficulties. Being a waitress was nothing! Come on!

Also, Su Ping had assigned Joanna to the pet room. She was in charge of the front of the shop. That... was more than helpful to her! She kept a straight face-just like the one she usually wore when she left her family estate

-and stepped forward. “Listen up. Stand in line and behave.”

she deliberately showed her strength while she spoke. Inside the Mysterious Realm, being a seventh-rank battle pet warrior was nothing to brag about. But that wasn’t the Mysterious Realm; it was the Longjiang Base City. She could tell that the customers were basically fourth or fifth-rank battle pet warriors. Some were second or third-ranks and had only gone there for fun.

She could crush any one of them.

Just as she expected, many people were stunned and began to notice her after she displayed her energy.

One look and many people were amazed. Aside from that glamorous golden-hair girl, this store housed another pretty girl. Though this waitress was less attractive than the golden-hair girl, she was a piece of eye candy nonetheless. “Look at her. Looks like she’s quite powerful.” “Is she a sixth-rank battle pet warrior?”

“She has to be more than that.”

“How is that possible? This girl must be less than 20 years old. The sixth-rank is already a horrific achievement for a girl her age.”

The customers crowded around the counter were stunned by Tang Ruyan. Following Tang Ruyan’s instructions, those people stood in line. Later on, the newcomers would queue up consciously after seeing the line. When the rules were in place, people would naturally comply.

“One hundred thousand?!!”

A short and chubby man stood in front of the counter and stared at Su Ping. He was so mad that he almost jumped up and bumped his head against the counter.

Su Ping kept a straight face. “One hundred thousand for regular training and one million for professional training.” “One million?!” the short and chubby man screamed even louder as if someone were robbing his wallet.

“Are you serving us or robbing us? You charge even more than the large stores. Are you serious? Are you saying you have top-level master trainers here?” In shock and wrath, the short man continued.

“You will find our services are worth it. If you think the price is too high, you are welcome to go to other stores. Thank you.” Su Ping stayed calm.

The short man glared at Su Ping and turned around to other customers. “Guys, take a look. This is an unethical store. He asks for one hundred thousand just for the training of one pet. He even mentioned something called professional training, and that is one million. He is f*cking tricking us. He is robbing us of our money!”

“One hundred thousand?”

“No way? That expensive?” “Sh*t, who gave him the courage to set prices like that? Is he trying to even out what he spent on hiring Mu Shuangwan for his ad?”

Shaken by the price, the people in line began to raise a clamor.

If that store were one of those famous and large-scale ones in the upper town area, a price like this would be reasonable. After all, those stores had master trainers who enjoy a high social status. Not only was the price high there, but people would also have to make reservations.

But look at this place. It was in the shantytown!

This wasn’t even the Xinyue District, which was a presentable part of the shantytown. This was in an out-of-the-way that could not be any more worn-out. Why would a store running at such a cheap place ask for that whopping price?

Some of them were no longer in the mood to stay in line. They stepped to the side and shouted to Su Ping, “Are you the boss? What is this price? Explain!” “Right. Who gave you the right to set a price like this?”

“Do you honestly think you can make money no matter what, just because you invited a celebrity to represent your store? Do you think we are fools?”

“You must explain yourself! You’re running an unethical store, and you are trying to tarnish Mu Shuangwan’s good reputation. We, as her fans, will be the first you have to deal with!”

“Right!” Many people were shouting and bellowing. Others remained quiet, but they did stand on their tiptoes as they enjoyed this drama. A fraction of the customers showed up because they were Mu Shuangwan’s fans, and they were the most furious about the price. The owner of the store was making dirty money by taking advantage of Mu Shuangwan’s reputation. This could reflect poorly on their idol!
