Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 458
Chapter 458 Enlightening Guide
The virtual roulette appeared.
“Start,” Su Ping said.
The roulette spun, faster and faster.
Su Ping counted to seven and stopped the roulette.
The roulette slowly came to a stop. A dark purple scroll jumped out.
“Congratulations! The host has won a scroll of the Elementary Enlightening Guide! “Collect or not?”
Enlightening Guide?
What a pleasant surprise!
That was the only skill he had not mastered as an elementary trainer, based on the system’s standards!
He could inspire a pet’s talent with the Enlightening Guide!
A pet’s talent was something that sounded miraculous according to the system. Su Ping could not wait to find out.
“Collect.
“The host has obtained the Agility Guide, a part of the Elementary Enlightening Guide,” the system explained.
Su Ping saw that purple scroll enter his storage space. His consciousness touched the scroll and immediately sucked the scroll in.
Absorb!
Su Ping absorbed it without hesitation.
The dark purple scroll disappeared. In the next second, Su Ping felt a surge of complicated information flowing into his mind.
He could see many strange and mysterious images.
There were images of monsters and strange earthworms, and there were vast, complicated messages that were simple and mysterious at the same time. It was a feeling that could only be understood but not explained.
Su Ping lost himself in the ocean of information.
A long while later.
Su Ping opened his eyes. The former confusion in his eyes was substituted by utter astonishment.
An extraordinary talent!
The one who created the Enlightening Guide was an extraordinary talent unequaled by his contemporaries!
“This is the first time that I learn about a life’s potential!
“No wonder it’s called the Enlightening Guide. Every living creature can be enlightened! “This is the Agility Guide. Will it help a pet get some skills in that regard?”
Su Ping was itchy to try on the Dark Dragon Hound. But this was the right time. Since he was in the bathroom, the dog might like the place. However, with so many people outside, he could not stay there for long.
Su Ping calmed himself down and went out.
“What’s taking him so long?”
“Did he fall into the toilet?”
“Hush. Be careful. If he could hear you, you’d have to pray he wouldn’t mind. If he does, you would find yourself in serious trouble.”
People were waiting in the room for the seventh-rank test. Su Ping had gone to the bathroom much longer than he should have.
Much longer than taking No.1.
The Vice Chairman was getting bored. He had sent out many messages while he waited. He notified the Chairman about the top trainer; this was not a minor event. In the past, every time they discovered a top trainer, they would notify all the media and publish the news all across the Holy Light Base City. “Sorry about that,” said Su Ping to those waiting for him.
They stopped their chattering as Su Ping finally came out. The Vice Chairman went over with a smile. “Mr. Su, I’ve requested for your medal to be readied and to register your information as a top trainer. But the medal is custom-made, so you will have to wait for a couple of days. You can talk to the designer about what you want on the medal.”
Su Ping didn’t care about the style. He merely wanted the privileges that came with the medal.
“Whatever the style is, it’ll be fine. Just get it done quickly,” Su Ping said. The Vice Chairman once again didn’t know what to say. The medal would have to stay with him for the rest of his life. “How about I tell the designer to make the Moonfrost Dragon the major element of your medal?” the Vice Chairman asked.
“The Moonfrost Dragon?”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He had Joanna train the Moonfrost Dragon while he rarely trained it himself. Besides, compared to the Little Skeleton, the Moonfrost Dragon was still too weak.
“I’d like to use the image of my store on the medal,” Su Ping answered after some thought. If he had to choose something, the store would be the top choice. The store was his support and the thing that changed his life.
“The store?”
The Vice Chairman could not believe that anyone would use such a tacky element on the medal.
That would not look good.
Trainers would usually choose the likeness of the best pet they had trained as part of the medal’s design.
“Well…”
“Is there a problem?”
“Not at all. Are you sure?”
“I am sure.”
“Okay,” the Vice Chairman agreed.
Su Ping turned to the crowd and soon he found his target. “Get over here,” he said to that person.
Ding Fengchun trembled while hidden in the crowd. He knew he couldn’t get away.
He felt even more embarrassed the moment everyone turned their gazes his way. If he had not meddled, he would still be a person that even the other master trainers revered, one that even top trainers would respect.
At this moment, though, he could tell the others had changed their views about him.
He regretted what he had done so much that he wanted to smash his head into a wall. If only his tongue were less long… He still failed to realize that if it were a person other than Su Ping, his willful talk could have ended that person’s life!
In that case, the one who died unavenged would be another person. It was just that this day, he was the one suffering.
“You don’t need me to tell you what to do, right?” Su Ping asked.
He no longer held a grudge against that person. To Su Ping, Ding Fengchun was just a complete stranger with no value. He had told Ding Fengchun to come out because he wanted people to know that when there was a bet, no party could get out without facing the consequences. Ding Fengchun’s face became clouded. He turned to the Vice Chairman, trying to beg for help.
With an embarrassed expression, the Vice Chairman turned away from Ding Fengchun.
There was nothing he could do. Ding Fengchun was the one who made the bet.
Ding Fengchun then turned to Master Bai.
But Master Bai kept a straight face. He did not like Ding Fengchun at this moment. He wouldn’t have offended Su Ping if it weren’t for Ding Fengchun. He was very close to making a fool of himself!
Considering Su Ping’s strength, he didn’t have to think twice to figure out that Su Ping’s background was powerful.
Ding Fengchun had almost set Master Bai against Su Ping! Ding Fengchun was sad, seeing that neither the Vice Chairman nor Master Bai wanted to defend him. In the end, he made up his mind and dropped to his knees but he said nothing.
Su Ping darted a glare at him. “If not for the Vice Chairman, I would have already killed you. Do you know that?”
Ding Fengchun trembled.
Yes, I do know.
This young man here is a ruthless one!
He did not hesitate to kill!
The most important thing was that the young man had such powers! That was why he was willing to kneel and afraid to continue to upset Su Ping.
He felt sorry and resentful but he had not lost his mind. Where there is life, there is hope.
“I am sparing you just because of the Vice Chairman and other trainers. After all, to let people know that a master trainer died because of being free with his tongue would be ridiculous,” Su Ping went on coldly.
Frustrated as he was, Ding Fengchun stayed there without talking back.
Indeed, he couldn’t control his mouth. He was blue with regret.
The Vice Chairman was smiling bitterly. Ding Fengchun had been forced into a humiliating position. On the other hand, this should be a warning to the other trainers. After all, there were quite a few trainers who abused their powers like Ding Fengchun.
That was not a problem that could be solved any time soon.
“Carry on with your work. Master Bai, go and set up a new venue for the conference. I have other things to talk about with Mr. Su,” the Vice Chairman ordered.
Master Bai nodded. He gave one final, troubled look at Su Ping.
The others stared at Ding Fengchun who was on his knees in front of Su Ping. Ding Fengchun had always been looking down on others and yet, this day, he had lost all of his dignity. Everyone could feel the authority of the young man who couldn’t be offended. He was not only a top trainer but also a titled battle pet warrior. He was a person who was even more horrifying than Lone Star and Fire Lord!
Master Bai told people to leave. The Vice Chairman also told Ding Fengchun to leave. To have him stay on his knees would not look good for the Vice Chairman, either.
Su Ping didn’t complain. He had vented his anger.
The Vice Chairman took Su Ping to his office.
“Mr. Su, are you really not joining us?” the Vice Chairman extended his invitation again. He valued Su Ping, and the powers he stood for even more.
He had never heard of anyone who could be proficient in being both a trainer and a battle pet warrior. He was dying to find out about Su Ping’s background.
“Not for now.” Su Ping shook his head but he did leave some room for future discussion.
The Vice Chairman heaved a sigh.
He didn’t push Su Ping and instead started on another topic. “It will take several days for your medal to be ready. We have a convention in the base city where we are going to pick out some of the more outstanding young trainers. Are you interested in having a look? You can find someone to be your student, you know. After all, a good student is not that easy to find.”
