After Su Ping accepted the request, Mia thought of something and looked at Su Ping hopefully.

“Boss, can you train the pets of the demon family?”

“Sure.” Su Ping nodded.

Normal trainers could only train specific kinds of pets, but he had enough cultivation sites for the pets of any family; he could even find a lot of pets that had already gone extinct according to the Federation's records.

“For real?”

Mia was rather delighted; her suspicion had already faded away. A s.p.a.ce vortex was instantly opened, and a humanoid pet walked out; a profound undead aura was disseminated.

The pet was soon restrained. It had the head of a hideous goat; apart from that, its torso and lower half resembled those of a human, except that it had a brown tail which seemed draconic in nature.

“Nightmarish Demon of Greed?”

Su Ping slightly raised his eyebrows as he saw the pet; he knew it was quite a rare demon pet. It might be nigh impossible to find one of their kind on the entire Blue Planet.

That pet also had a Star State bloodline, similar to the Ocean Emperor's. However, it was only in the middle phase of the Void State at the moment; it depended on training to find the chance to unleash the potential in its blood.

Noticing how Su Ping had correctly identified the creature, Mia dropped the last bit of her doubt and asked hopefully, “Boss, can it also be trained?”

There was a marked change in Layne's expression; he could not but interject, “Mia, our academy's monthly exam will be held soon. This Nightmarish Demon of Greed is your strongest pet. This store owner would never have the means to compensate you if it's ruined during the training! It will affect your performance in the monthly exam!”

Mia didn't look at him. There was worry in her eyes, but the worry was soon replaced by determination. Since she had already made a decision, she would have certainly taken all the possibilities into consideration.

However—based on her impression of Su Ping and her observations—she was willing to take her chances!

She would definitely distinguish herself in the monthly exam if the pets that Su Ping was to train would be as tough as Little White. Not only would she surely pa.s.s the exam, she might even be able to make it to the top five or even the top three!

Mia stared at Su Ping and asked nervously, yet hopefully, “Boss, will Little Goaty's training be as short as that of Little White?”

1

Little Goaty? Su Ping was at a loss for words. It was true that girls would usually choose to give weird names to their pets, like how his sister named her pet, which was as black as coal, as “s...o...b..ll” …He focused his attention and nodded. “More or less. It'll take half to one day.”

Mia felt relieved. “I have some other pets. How long will it take for you to finish training all of them?”

Su Ping instantly remembered the system's quest and put on a smile. He said, “You can fetch them tomorrow if there are no more than twenty of them.”

While stunned for a moment, Mia couldn't help but ask, “About the effect of the training…”

“It'll be the same,” replied Su Ping casually.

Mia gazed at him for a moment and nodded, before she said, “No problem. I'll come fetch them tomorrow.”

He opened a few more vortices as he spoke; one battle pet walked out after the other.

Almost all of them were Void State pets. Including the Frost Blood Star Dragon and the Nightmarish Demon of Greed, five of them had Star State bloodlines!

She truly had a rather intimidating battle pet roster.

Not even Nie Huofeng had that many powerful pets!

Su Ping counted the pets and announced the price, “The cost will be 1.2 billion in total.”

Mia took a deep breath and transferred the money to him. She used a limitless card issued to the Laiyefa family.

Su Ping instantly heard the system notifications after seeing that the 1.2 billion was transferred and transformed into energy.

“The target customer has consumed ten million energy points in the shop. The quest, No Orders Shall be Missed, has been completed!

“Please choose your reward in the next five minutes!”

Su Ping was thrilled, since he remembered that the reward was a middle-rank Guide to Enlightening. He asked Mia, “Is there anything else I can help you with?”

He was implying that she should consider leaving for the day if the answer was no.

“Boss, please take care of them…” Mia looked at her battle pets affectionately.

Layne had quite the grim expression as he gave Su Ping a cold look. He blinked as he considered other things.

“All right.” Su Ping nodded and asked Joanna to lead the pets to the pet room first.

Mia withdrew her gaze after all the battle pets were taken away, then glimpsed at Joanna's back. She asked Su Ping, “Boss, is she really your employee?”

“Of course. We have a contract,” replied Su Ping without thinking.

Mia was rendered speechless for a moment. She glanced at the pet room again, but Joanna didn't bother to look back at her and simply closed the door, blocking her senses.

Mia was quite surprised at how well-defended the shop was, especially right after realizing she couldn't detect what was inside the pet room. Even such a door had been installed with a protective barrier.

She glanced at Su Ping, then said after a moment's hesitation, “Boss, my babies… are all yours.”

2

Your babies? Su Ping replied with a friendly smile, “No problem. I'll take good care of them.”

1

Mia found Su Ping's smile quite odd, but she couldn't quite figure out what was weird about it. She could only say, “I'll be on my way.”

“Okay.”

Mia looked back frequently as she made her way out of the shop, but she eventually left.

Layne glared at Su Ping but didn't say anything; he simply chased after her.

After they left, Su Ping came to a corner of the shop, summoned the system, and started drawing the lottery.

“Stop!”

He was quite excited as he looked at the roulette wheel that was still spinning; Su Ping was quite excited. All the items on the wheel were middle-rank Guides to Enlightening. If only I could get all of them!

The wheel stopped soon after and Su Ping raised his head, only to find that the pointer stopped at the Middle-rank Acceleration Guide.

The system's voice echoed, “Congratulations, the host has successfully drawn the Middle-rank Acceleration Guide.”

Su Ping then saw the guide be ejected; it then fell to his storage s.p.a.ce.

Su Ping was quite curious. Acceleration Guide? What's the effect?

He used it without hesitation.

The guide soon faded from his storage s.p.a.ce and was completely gone; a tremendous amount of information then flooded into his head. The knowledge transfer contained countless pictures and felt like an aurora cl.u.s.ter; each of them contained a lot of knowledge.

Su Ping was completely devoted to them.

It wasn't until a long time later that he had finally opened his eyes. AWhen he did, strange brilliance radiated from his eyes.

“This Guide to Enlightening is really good!”

Su Ping was shocked and delighted; he didn't expect he would be that lucky to be awarded with the powerful Guide to Enlightening!”

“Accelerate!”

Whoos.h.!.+

Su Ping dashed forward, then the world slowed down in front of his eyes. He appeared ten meters away in the next moment; he noticed that the dust in the air had merely moved a bit more than 0.00001 millimeters. The place was almost still!

The approaching Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong froze once they noticed him; their raised feet didn't reach the ground until Su Ping stopped moving. Both were rather stunned, not expecting him to suddenly appear elsewhere.

“Awesome!”

Su Ping was quite excited. He hadn't fully grasped the guide yet, but he had no doubt that it was an extremely powerful skill!

Such a skill would enable him to super accelerate his body!

Time would flow differently for him in an accelerated state.

1

What is time?

Some claimed that it was the speed and the motion of objects. Time would technically not exist when an object was in absolute stillness.

Su Ping had just been in an accelerated time and s.p.a.ce due to his high speed. Even though he could have simply used his usual flash movements to appear ten meters away, it was a completely different situation!

If he used both the flash skill and super acceleration in a battle, it would virtually allow him to flash to three, four or even more locations in the same span of time that he flashed once in the past!

This skill is perfect for ambus.h.i.+ng and a.s.sa.s.sinating!

I feel like I can feel the law of time in it. Maybe I can comprehend the mysteries of time if I perform it more often… Su Ping thought, excited by the prospect. Time was one of the greatest enigmas. He might even be able to bring back the dead and live an eternal life If he mastered the law of time!

Maybe not even the Star Lords have such ability yet; it wasn't hard to imagine the law of time's superiority!

Tang Ruyan approached Su Ping while looking at him curiously; she had the impression that he had just performed a flash movement.” Why are you running inside the shop?”

Su Ping could only feel delighted. While looking at Zhong Lingtong who was right behind her, he chuckled and said, “We've just moved to a new planet named Rhea. I'll give you some spending money later; you should sign up for language cla.s.ses as soon as possible to learn the Common Tongue; that way you'll soon be able to communicate with others.”

“Okay.” Zhong Lingtong nodded obediently.

Tang Ruyan rolled her eyes and said, “Did that woman laugh at me just now? I didn't know what she said, but I could see it in her eyes. Humph. I'll definitely get back at her when I learn the Common Tongue!”

“How are you going to do that?” Su Ping glimpsed at her. “With your mouth, rather than your skills?”

Tang Ruyan was choked for a moment. Then she said gloomily, “To make a winner's speech after I do beat her! I'm a lady; why would I lash at her like a vixen?”

Su Ping didn't know what to say. “It won't be possible for you to defeat her in your entire life if you don't work harder; this is the Federation, a place teeming with geniuses. You may be something on the Blue Planet, while basically anyone you meet here can teach you a lesson. You should keep a low profile and study harder. Don't be defeated eight times in five minutes again. You're embarra.s.sing me!”

Stunned by his answer, Tang Ruyan could only glare at him. “How do you know that I was defeated eight times in five minutes? Ahhh, I got it. That woman must have told you that. d.a.m.n it… I knew she would speak ill of me!”

“She was stating a fact. Or, are you trying to deny it?”

“You…”

“From this moment onwards I'll call you Eight Five. I will only stop until you beat her and prove that you're worthy,” said Su Ping casually.

1

Tang Ruyan: “…”

Zhong Lingtong looked at her sympathetically as she heard their conversation. Not only had she been brutalized, she had even lost her name. How pitiful… But on the other hand, Eight Five was not a bad name.

She repeated the name over and over in her mind after coming to that conclusion. The more she said it, the more agreeable she found it to be.

Su Ping didn't talk to them anymore, deciding to head outside and examine his new neighborhood.

He had a lot of mixed feelings; this Federation planet was truly different. He saw that the streets were extremely packed, with magnetic levitation cars and motorbikes everywhere. He looked up and there were many bright blue, translucent roads interwoven in the sky, while many cars flew to different destinations.

All the nearby buildings had pointed caps; their architectural styling had an European feel.
