Chapter 754: Class A Aptitude

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

It was not until that moment that everybody finally noticed Joanna.

Everybody was amazed by her. They found it hard to believe that such a gorgeous woman would be working in that little shop.

Joanna was one of the prettiest even among the gods; ninety percent of human beings would find her likable.

“She’s even more beautiful than Alica, isn’t she?”

“Oh my god, I adore her. It’s true that the real beautiful girls are never on TV!”

“I’ll be a hardcore fan of this shop just because of her!”

The men were all excited, staring with glowing eyes.

The women felt uncomfortable when they heard the whispers, but they found Joanna so extraordinary that they almost couldn’t envy her.

“You’re really going to kick me away?”

The brawny man changed his expression when he saw Joanna; it would be humiliating for any male to be kicked out in front of such a beautiful woman.

He was slightly regretful; he would have acted like a gentleman and not forced his way to cut in line if he had known of her existence. He would have then shown off his wealth by buying three Fate State dragons in one go; he was sure he would have caught that girl’s attention.

“I gave you a chance,” said Su Ping indifferently.

The brawny man said angrily, “Do you know who I am? You’re just a minor manager. If keep on pissing me off, I’ll just spend some money and ask your boss to fire you!”

He wasn’t threatening to close the shop, but to fire Su Ping. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to pay some money to the owner and ask him to replace the manager.

Anyone would be willing to replace a manager for several hundred million. After all, managers could be hired anywhere.

“Do it.”

Su Ping no longer bothered to waste time on him.

“Miss, this shop will be closed sooner or later with such a manager. I…”

The brawny man spoke to Joanna with a different tone and attitude as a way to impress her.

However, Joanna simply extended her fingers and grabbed him by the nape after confining him. She held him at a distance as she pulled him out of the shop.

“Well…”

Everybody’s jaws reached the ground when they saw that happen.

The brawny man was a Void State warrior who was openly showing his cultivation. And yet, the girl was able to carry him away that easily?

The brawny man was rather stunned as well.

He tried to break free, but he found that his astral power had been blocked, as if a layer of cement were stuck to his skin. There was also a horrifying power that was restraining all his movements.

The brawny man looked at Joanna in shock, having a hard time believing that she could be that strong.

Bang!

The next moment, the brawny man was thrown out of the shop; he fell on the ground and tumbled rather embarrassingly.

The passersby on the street were greatly surprised.

“What happened? Is someone causing trouble in this shop?”

“This man was thrown out? He’s a Void State warrior, isn’t he?”

“Look, oh my god!”

“Are my eyes deceiving me? Is she the boss of this shop? I believe in love again!”

Many of the people outside were enthralled by Joanna.

Just like the goddess she was, Joanna acted cold and indifferent when she threw the man out and then returned to the shop. She didn’t say a single word, because those people didn’t deserve her time.

That’s right. She was that proud.

The customers inside the shop were dazed.

It never occurred to them that the troublemaker would really be thrown out of the shop as Su Ping promised!

The shop had just opened, and it had competitors on the street. Contrary to custom, the first thing Su Ping did was not to sell the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons as quickly as possible; instead, he kicked out a major client who was hoping to buy three of them!

Is he crazy?

Should anyone do business like that? Is he not afraid of pissing off other customers?

Although the person thrown out was a line cutter, he was also a customer; some of the people present were blindly taking his side.

Some people were actually looking at Su Ping in an unfriendly way at the moment, since they were only considering a customer standpoint.

The line cutter was a customer and, supposedly, a king. Many of the modest customers thought that they would be further despised, given how a major client had been kicked out.

A few guys who felt disrespected as customers urged Su Ping unhappily.

“Boss, sell the dragons already; I want to see their quality. I’ll go to the Stars Pet Store right now if they aren’t B+ quality. Maybe I can get one there.”

“Yes, boss. Time for business!”

The other people didn’t say anything, but they were obviously hopeful to see the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons, too.

Su Ping didn’t waste any more of the time, seeing how eager they were. He asked Joanna to take three Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons out after she returned.

Three dragons walked out of the pet room soon after and stood in the lobby. They had been miniaturized and were only five meters long.

The lobby—which had already been filled with customers—quickly became even more crammed.

“One of them is a Fate State dragon! Oh my goodness!”

“It takes top hunters to catch Fate State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons, doesn’t it?”

“Boss, how much are they? What’s the minimum price?”

Everybody looked at the dragons excitedly; some were already asking Su Ping for a quote.

Su Ping looked at them and said, “The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon No.1 is in the advanced phase of the Void State. Its price is 420 million. Does anyone want it?”

The shop was caught in a brief silence spell after he spoke.

The young man whose position in the line had been stolen earlier quickly said, “I do!”

Everybody else snapped out of their stupor and looked at Su Ping in shock.

“420 million? One Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon for 420 million?”

“Did my ears deceive me? Or did the boss misspeak?”

“I remember that the lowest price for a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons is a billion! Even the younglings are six to seven hundred million!”

Su Ping’s offer shocked all the customers.

That was too cheap; much lower than the market price!

Su Ping seemed impassive on the outside, but their exclamations were stabbing his heart like knives. Although the hunting had been a walk in the park and selling one dragon for millions of energy points was a fair deal, he surely would have earned much more if he could have sold the dragons for the market price!

However…

The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon was just a normal, unremarkable species in the eyes of the system.

“You want it, right? Pay up then,” said Su Ping to the young man who bid first.

The young man was stunned, clearly not expecting Su Ping to accept without waiting for other bidders. Is this not an auction?

Enthused, he quickly approached Su Ping and said, “Thank you, boss!”

Su Ping wasn’t in a hurry. He said, “Let me tell you the rules first. You cannot resell the pet or terminate the contract within ten years unless the circumstances are special.”

The young man was quite stunned, knowing that Su Ping was afraid that he would sell it to someone else.

He was instantly hesitant. He had been quick to bid exactly because he was intending to resell the pet.

The low price indicated that the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon was of an inferior quality. Even though it was an advanced Void State creature, there was a chance that its real combat ability couldn’t even be compared to the mid phase of the Void State.

The dragon looked ferocious, but the price belied its lesser quality.

Some of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were abnormal due to the poor environment they grew up in. They couldn’t even defeat some of the other beasts in their level, not to mention the stronger dragons of their species.

They were like sick, lethargic tigers that even dogs might be able to defeat.

“Well…” The young man hesitated.

Exactly at the same time, another brown-haired young man shouted, “Boss, I’m willing to buy it!”

“Me too!”

“I also want to buy it.”

A few other customers joined in the bidding, but not as enthusiastically as before.

All of them were thinking along the same lines. Such a low price suggested that the pet was definitely flawed. Why else would it be so cheap?

“Boss, I’m buying it for my own use. I won’t resell it.” The brown-haired young man was quite earnest. He didn’t have much money; even if that dragon had flaws, he could still train it and make do with it. It was a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon anyway, better than most pets as it was.

“Deal.” Su Ping nodded.

First come, first served. He guessed what was on the young man’s mind, after seeing the latter’s hesitation and unwillingness to accept the terms.

The brown-haired young man quickly transferred the money.

“Go and sign the contract,” said Su Ping.

The young man moved forward and signed the contract under everyone’s eyes.

Roar!

Hardly had the contract been completed when a brutal and ferocious roar echoed in his consciousness. It was the roar of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon.

The brown-haired young man raised his head, only to find that the dragon had cold eyes and a brutal aura.

His heart couldn’t help but tremble when he saw those eyes; he felt like he was looking at a lethal beast.

What is going on? A flawed Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon is this brutal? I feel like it will even attack me if I force it to follow an order! The brown-haired young man was quite shocked.

Character was the key to the pets’ weaknesses.

The stronger a pet was, the more brutal and aggressive it would be.

Even the pets that played cute in front of their masters could be exceptionally brutal against enemies even if their master had tamed them.

“Someone really bought it?”

“This Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon is well decorated. It looks intimidating, but it can’t be as strong as it seems.”

“A Void State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon for 420 million. That’s the new minimum price!”

The other people were disapproving of the young man’s decision. A deeply-flawed Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon would never beat a good quality pet.

The brown-haired young man simply kept the dragon in the storage space after the contract was completed and left Su Ping’s shop to have his pet assessed across the street.

He intended to find out how exactly the pet was flawed; that way he could give a proper report to his trainer for pertinent training later.

Su Ping began to sell the second Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon after the brown-haired young man left.

Su Ping made another offer, “Advanced Void State, 415 million.”

Everybody was shocked again as they heard the second offer, not expecting the beast to be just as flawed as the first one.

The price was actually lower than the first one. Doesn’t it mean that it’s even worse!

While everybody looked at each other in bewilderment, a girl spoke up in the crowd. “Boss, I want it.”

It was a purple-haired Ocean State warrior. She felt rather nervous to talk in front of a bunch of Ocean State and Void State warriors.

“Okay,” Su Ping nodded and said, “You know the rules. Don’t resell the pet, or you will permanently be blacklisted in this shop.”

“I’m buying it for myself…” said the purple-haired girl in a low voice.

Su Ping nodded.

A hunched old man shook his head and said, “Young lady, it’s best not to buy such a greatly-flawed pet. You might as well buy a Class B Void State pet with the money; it may have a better fighting ability than this one.”

“That’s right. Even if you want to train this dragon, it would still cost a lot, and it wouldn’t be as effective as you think.”

“I didn’t think that all the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons in this shop would be flawed.”

Someone was curious about the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon’s aptitude. “Boss, what’s the aptitude of this Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon? It can’t be D-, can it?”

A D- Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon was almost “rare.”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He was still lost when it came to aptitude classification according to the Federation, but the system considered the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon to have a mid-level aptitude already.

“All the pets in my shop have average aptitude,” said Su Ping.

“Average?”

“What do you mean by average? That’s so ambiguous!”

“Is it possible that the pet isn’t even D-? Oh my god!”

Everybody found it hard to understand what Su Ping said.

“Average?”

You have an average look and average body figure… Was “average” a good remark? Also, a pet whose aptitude was likely Class D was said to be average according to Su Ping… Then, wouldn’t Class B be ultimate?

Another person couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, you just said that all the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons you sell have average aptitude… Are they all like this?”

The other customers also became anxious. They had heard that there were ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons in Su Ping’s shop; they were intending to see something else.

If all the dragons were as flawed as the first one, wouldn’t their hopes be dashed with such a deal?

They were starting to regret, thinking that they had made a long trip over for nothing.

“Average aptitude is the minimum requirement for the pets sold in this shop. There will be higher aptitudes later,” said Su Ping.

A lot of people felt concerned once they heard that. Even though Su Ping claimed that the average aptitude was the lowest requirement of his store, they didn’t know how high the aptitudes could be for the best pets.

Someone was even suspecting that the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons that Su Ping’s shop had were inferior beasts acquired through illegal sources.

If they were inferior beasts, getting ten of them wouldn’t be a problem at all!

While everybody guessed, exclamations and roars were heard outside.

“Oh my god, I heard that the pet assessment shop over there just found a Class A pet!”

“Are you serious? Class A? What’s the pet?”

“It seems to be a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon! Let’s go there and find out!”

Some of the most disinterested customers heard the exclamations and quickly left Su Ping’s store to check things out.
