Astral Pet Store

Chapter 23: Mutations

Views:

Looking back at the little skeleton in front of him, Su Ping followed the ancient spirit beast contract method, bit his finger, and slowly drew blood on the forehead of the little skeleton.

The little skeleton was still sitting blankly, seemingly ignorant of everything around it, but when it smelled the blood on Su Ping's fingers, a faint scarlet color appeared in its empty eye sockets, and its body responded.

Just when it slowly raised its hand to grab Su Ping's finger, Su Ping had already quickly drawn the contract and withdrew his hand.

An intricate blood pattern was engraved on the forehead of the little skull.

As Su Ping stopped his hand, the blood lines gradually disappeared, as if they were absorbed by the little skeleton.

The next moment, Su Ping suddenly felt an extra line in his consciousness. This line was connected to the outside of his body and to another consciousness.

This is a very weak consciousness, as erratic as a candle that can be extinguished at any time.

From this faint consciousness, faint thoughts of fear and confusion came.

"Is this its consciousness?" Su Ping looked at the little skeleton. Through the power of the contract, he could clearly feel the emotional changes of the little skeleton.

The little skeleton slowly raised his head and looked at Su Ping blankly, still confused about his own changes.

Su Ping touched its little head. After all, this little skeleton was just born. It had no inherited memory and was ignorant of everything around it, which was normal.

He went to open the store door, and when the sun shone into the store, he suddenly felt a fear coming from the little skull's thoughts.

Turning around, he saw that the little skeleton had fallen off the counter. The scattered bones slowly shrank into the darkness in the corner of the counter, reorganized their bodies, and were curled up with their legs trembling.

"Are you afraid of the sun?"

Su Ping was slightly startled, knowing that he had been negligent. Most demonic beasts like dark environments, and a few of them are even more afraid of the sun and can only stay in the dark.

Su Ping immediately returned and carried the trembling little skeleton to the pet room behind the shop.

Seeing the vacant foster care space, Su Ping stepped forward and placed the little skeleton in the stone tooth array.

"System, your free foster care space costs ten yuan an hour. Does it have any effect?" Su Ping asked curiously.

At 10 yuan an hour, the price of day care is not cheap.

"The free foster care space is built from spiritual stone waste. There is weak spiritual power left in it, as well as complex and chaotic waste mine rays. It has a weak help for the growth of the pet beast, and has a high probability of causing the pet beast to mutate." System solution said.

"Mutations?"

Su Ping was stunned.

In addition to evolution, pet beasts also have a lower probability of mutating due to different growth environments.

And mutation means alienation into another species.

Maybe it's a new species that's stronger and better, maybe it's a degenerated failed breed.

In some war areas with extremely harsh environments, devastated and full of technological waste, it is most likely to breed mutant beasts.

Most of those mutated beasts carry unknown pathogenic bacteria, which can easily cause plague or large-scale virus invasion.

This is extremely fatal to ordinary people. Therefore, "mutated pet beast" is a scary word in most cases.

However, in terms of scientific research on pet beasts, the pace of promoting the mutation of pet beasts has never stopped. Many famous ninth-level pet beasts in the Federation were mutated by scientific catalysis. They have extremely strong combat power and are the result of successful cultivation. brand new species!

"Are the mutated beasts here good or bad?" Su Ping asked the system.

"It's a mixed bag of good and bad. It is recommended that the host upgrade to a primary foster care position as soon as possible to avoid affecting the reputation of this store." The system said briefly.

Su Ping's mouth twitched.

Yes, it’s a good thing to ask.

When the system mentioned radiation from waste mines, he felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the goods were cheap but not good. "Then upgrade."

Without much consideration, Su Ping directly chose to upgrade.

Not to mention that the rental price increased tenfold after the upgrade, and there were many benefits. He couldn't afford the probability of failure of this mutation alone.

If a customer's pet spoils and causes a falling out, it will have a huge impact on the store's reputation. The system is not giving him a free foster care spot. It is clearly planting an insidious bomb here!

Fortunately, he made money quickly, and the business in the store was not very good these days, so no major incident happened.

-

20 energy.

The two ancient stone tooth arrays in front of Su Ping suddenly glowed with a hazy white light. When the white light dissipated, the stone tooth array took on a new look. Although it was still the same sharp stone tooth array as before, the color of each stone tooth was completely different.

It used to be like ordinary rough stones, dull and dull, but now it is like white jade-colored ivory, full of aura.

"Sure enough, it's a bit decent."

Su Ping was quite satisfied.

However, his heart ached when he thought that this primary foster care space required 1 point of energy to maintain every day.

Spend money like water.

His previous 315 energy points were reduced to less than 100 in the blink of an eye.

"We still have to hurry up to earn energy, and the Chaos Spirit Pool has not been upgraded yet."

When he thought of the effect of the Level 3 Chaos Spirit Pool, Su Ping's heart felt hot. If he could breed a pet beast with the blood of a king beast, just by leaving it at the door for publicity, he could attract a steady stream of customers!

"anyone there

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the store.

The voice sounded familiar to Su Ping, so he quickly exited the pet room at the back and returned to the front.

I saw two beautifully dressed girls standing at the door, looking around, feeling a little cautious.

"Um?"

When Su Ping saw one of them, he immediately recognized him as the one who had led the Lei Guangshu away from here before.

"The boss is away?"

The girl at the door was Su Yanying. She looked around the store with some doubts.

"Yingying, are you really sure this is here?"

Next to her was Lan Lele, who was wearing a soft gauze skirt. She accompanied her friend here. She looked at the gray and remote shop in front of her with doubts on her face. She really couldn't believe that the evil Thunder Rat was bred here. .

"right here!"

Su Yanying was extremely sure, "My Lei Guangshu must be related to this place!"

After the preliminary round, she gradually came to her senses and realized that there was something wrong with her Lei Guangshu.

Especially after being visited and questioned by her teacher, head teacher, and others, she realized how evil and terrifying her Lightning Rat was!

If you only realize one high-level pet skill, it can be said to be a coincidence, but if you use two at the same time, absolutely no one will think that it is just a coincidence.

Facing the teacher's inquiry, she was vague. After all, she didn't know it herself, but she realized that this might have something to do with the pet shop where she was fostered.

After all, the Lei Guangshu had been mediocre before, and she had not been exposed to anything else before she was fostered. So after analysis, she felt that the only variable was this pet shop!
