Upgrading to a third-level store requires one hundred thousand energy.
Su Ping had previously made a lot of energy when the store's business was booming, but he also spent some on upgrading the Chaos Spirit Pool, purchasing foster care spaces, and purchasing body refining materials, animal trapping rings and other items in the system store.
In addition, this time to go to the Land of Demigods, the ticket fee of 1,200 energy is only a fraction.
The accumulated number of deaths in these seven days and the amount of energy consumed is truly expensive. It is more than ten times the ticket fee and amounts to tens of thousands of energy!
This is why Su Ping did not dare to choose to go to the Ancient God Realm.
He could afford the 9,000 ticket fee for the teleportation, but he couldn't afford to die inside...
Looking at the 460,000 remaining energy displayed on his store's personal panel, Su Ping sighed inwardly. After spending 100,000 to upgrade the store, he was still far away from his goal of accumulating 1 million energy and upgrading to the fourth level Chaos Spirit Pool. step…
However, it hurts, but the store still needs to be upgraded, otherwise there will be no way to continue upgrading the spirit pool.
"Fortunately, after upgrading to the third-level store, there will be professional training services. The price is 10,000 at a time. I can take a few more big orders every day. There is hope for accumulating 1 million." Su Ping thought to himself. He didn't think about it anymore and chose The store was upgraded.
"Beep!"
"If you meet the requirements for upgrading a third-level store, do you want to confirm the upgrade?"
The system prompted.
Su Ping said angrily: "Can you please stop screaming 'didi' before you speak out?"
The system asked back: "Aren't all intelligent systems in your human understanding like this?"
"That's what the mentally retarded system is like."
"Really? Then I'll change it next time and confirm it first."
"Don't you know what I'm thinking? Why are you confirming it?"
"Now, we still have to go through the required procedures, it's about human rights."
Su Ping rolled his eyes and said silently: "Confirm."
"Ding!"
"The store is about to enter an upgrade and will be closed for 24 hours. The new services added in this upgrade are as follows... "
Su Ping: "..."
Too lazy to struggle with the system anymore, his eyes fell on an illusory list in front of him, which included several new services in the store.
The first point is the professional cultivation service he has been looking forward to for a long time. It charges one million star coins at a time, which is 10,000 energy, and is permanently available!
As long as the customer has money, they can buy it, which is most suitable for rich students like Ye Hao.
The second service is the testing space.
A special space will be created in the store to test the skills of pet beasts. In this way, customers can test the pet beasts directly in the store without having to go to another battle hall to test.
The third item is to start the pet sales service.
This is an upgraded section of the pet rental service.
There was a pet rental service in the store before, but Su Ping didn't have any good pets to rent out, so they have been idle.
He often cultivates pet beasts such as small skeletons and dark dragon dogs, and cultivates them completely as his own pet beasts. He has no intention of renting them, and he is not willing to rent them.
After all, if the rented beast is used improperly and dies accidentally, it will be irreversible.
Although the pet beast dies in battle, the insurance money paid by the customer belongs to him, which is equivalent to the customer spending a lot of money to buy it. But to Su Ping, how much does it cost to pet beasts like the Little Skeleton, the Dark Dragon Dog, and the Infernal Candle Dragon Beast? , he is not willing to sell it.
"This time there is actually a service for sale. It comes just in time."
Su Ping was still very satisfied with the sales service. This time in the secret realm, he used a beast trap to capture several ninth-level extreme beasts. Although the combat power of these beasts was ninth-level extreme combat power, their combat power was still very high. The level is almost the same, the qualifications are average, they are all inferior, just enough to be sold.
Su Ping had no intention of keeping these pet beasts around for his own use. The combat power of the little skeleton in his hand had already exceeded 10, which was completely better than the ninth-level extreme pet beasts he had captured.
Moreover, he couldn't sign a contract with the ninth-level extreme pet beast, otherwise his brain would explode directly.
after all.
His own star power level has only just been upgraded to the lower sixth level.
It is too far away from the ninth-level limit. At the moment, he can only enslave monsters in the eighth-level lower realm without dying suddenly on the spot. However, this is the limit. It is very easy to be backlashed, and it is also very easy to become insane and fall into madness. Be careful. In other words, the upper level of seventh level is a level that he can barely control, but it is still very risky.
"The ninth-level pet beasts in this trapping ring are just good enough to be sold in stores. Such high-end pet beasts can also attract many high-quality customers to the store, which can be regarded as several advertising spaces." Su Ping thought to himself.
"If the store is upgraded, how will the safe area of the store's territory be calculated?" Su Ping asked in his heart. This is what he is most concerned about at the moment.
The system said: "The security barrier of the store territory has been constructed. As long as the host is within the store territory, the host is safe, but the rest of the store's functions will not be activated until the upgrade is completed."
"Really?" Su Ping was delighted, saying that he could now go out and go to other stores he had just purchased.
"The host can turn on the store's safe territory visibility function, so that the host can see the store's safe territory enchantment display. This function is only available to the host," the system said.
Su Ping was surprised and immediately said: "Turn it on."
Soon, he saw a very light green screen covering the steps outside the shop. This green screen extended along the left and right sides of the shop. Su Ping looked outside the shop and saw that outside the facades of most shops, there were green screen.
Is this safe territory
Su Ping's eyes brightened slightly. With this look, he could accurately control the safe range.
Buzz!
At this time, there was a sudden buzz of cars outside the street, and a fleet of decoration cars drove into the street. These decoration fleets stopped in front of the shop that Su Ping bought.
Su Ping was stunned, and then he saw ordinary-looking figures at the top and bottom of these convoys walking into the many storefronts he had just purchased.
"This..." Su Ping glared slightly before stepping forward.
"The host doesn't have to worry, this is the energy body built by this system to cover up the store upgrade." The system said calmly.
Su Ping was stunned.
Covering store upgrades
He thought that after 24 hours, the store would look brand new and all the stores would be integrated into one.
Unexpectedly, this energy person would appear right now, pretending to be a decoration team, and doing fake decoration.
This is too hardcore!
However, this saves him a lot of trouble. It is much better than all the stores magically merging overnight. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for him to explain it to his mother, not to mention Su Lingyue, who has a headache.
"Under the guise of decoration, can 24 hours be enough?" Su Ping asked in his mind.
The system said calmly: "This is a large-scale decoration team. Even if the time is tight, people will not have too much doubt. They will only marvel at the speed of the decoration team."
Su Ping had to be convinced after hearing this.
This system is still more cunning than him.
At this time, Su Lingyue heard the noise and rushed to the door. She looked around and saw the decoration fleet crowded on the street. She was surprised and said: "Renovation? When did this shabby street have such a large-scale decoration?"
The system solved Su Ping's worries, and Su Ping naturally had to cooperate with the system. He said calmly: "This is the decoration team hired by my brother. The decorations now are all the storefronts I just bought. From now on, these will be our stores. Now we have to After integration, you and mom will choose one to live in later."
The storefront purchased this time is larger than the store area required by the system. The extra store area will not be included in the system's decoration. It will still look like the original store. Su Ping can only rely on hiring a real human decoration team to decorate it. .
Speaking of the human decoration team, Su Ping asked the system in his mind: "Did you create such a large-scale decoration team, did it appear out of thin air? If you spread it back, how can you explain it? Doesn't it expand the doubts?" "Don't worry, host, I have already taken care of you." They have hooked up with the decoration company, and no one will notice them when the upgrade is completed," the system said leisurely.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, and then thought of the unknown and unfamiliar bank card to which his store's income was transferred. Knowing that this was the power of the system, he immediately said nothing more.
"Did you invite me? Did you buy all the decorations now?"
Su Lingyue saw the decoration fleets all over the street. There were decoration teams arranging equipment and preparing for construction outside many shops. She was dumbfounded. With so many storefronts bought, even she, who had not really entered the society, could pass it. Judging from the value of his own store, this is an astonishing price.
Seeing Su Ping's normal and calm expression, she was startled. She instinctively wanted to brag, but thinking of Su Ping's performance at the pioneer base and the terrifying more than 40 million merit points...
She was silent in her heart.
At some point, she discovered that when she saw Su Ping's true face, the other party suddenly exceeded her expectations and she couldn't see through it.
Su Ping saw that his mother had woken up and was awakened by the construction work of the decoration team. He immediately called his mother and walked with Su Lingyue along the safe area outside the store to the street and found a restaurant that had not been acquired. I ordered a few dishes and started eating.
While eating, Li Qingru also asked about the decoration team, and Su Ping repeated the matter to her.
When she learned that the decoration team and the dozens of shops being renovated along the way were all paid for by Su Ping, Li Qingru's first reaction was that Su Ping was joking. She didn't believe it at all. After all, it cost a lot of money. The money, she calculated casually, it would be one to two hundred million.
Such a huge amount of money was an astronomical figure for her, and she would never be able to earn it in ten lifetimes, let alone one lifetime.
Now that things have happened, Su Ping naturally can no longer hide it. He told him that he is a pioneer. This is the only reasonable explanation.
Hearing Su Ping's words, Li Qingru still didn't believe it, but this time Su Lingyue spoke. Her expression was a little complicated, proving his words for Su Ping, and also revealed that Su Ping's star power was extremely high and he was a pioneer. The highest level of existence.
After hearing this, Li Qingru touched Su Lingyue's forehead and asked her if she had a fever, and then asked her if there was anything that had fallen into Su Ping's hands recently.
Both Su Ping and Su Lingyue were a little dumbfounded by their mother's reaction. Su Lingyue glared at Su Ping. She didn't expect that one day she would rarely speak a good word for Su Ping in front of her mother, but she would still be suspected. It was so annoying.
Su Ping was also helpless and wanted to take out his bank card to prove it, but thinking about the 700-800 million balance left in the card, he decided to forget it, so as not to make it more difficult to explain later.
He sighed secretly in his heart.
At the moment, he can't directly summon a big guy like the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast to prove that he has the ability to make money. As for using his status as a pioneer? He hasn't received the Jin Xun Pioneer Medal yet, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't recognize it from his mother.
After thinking about it, Su Ping finally thought that there was only one person who could help him explain, and that was Dong Mingsong.
Su Lingyue studied at Fengshan College. Li Qingru naturally knew about the vice president of Fengshan College and had seen his photos and information on the Internet.
Su Ping immediately used the communicator to contact the other party and turned on the video communication.
The communication was quickly connected, and the smiling face of the tool man Dong Mingsong appeared on the screen. He said: "Teacher Su, why did you take the initiative to find my old man when you have time?"
Su Ping sighed and said, "Well, please explain to my mother that I am the instructor of the college."
Dong Mingsong was surprised.
At this time, Li Qingru also saw Dong Mingsong on the screen and immediately exclaimed.
Dong Mingsong reacted quickly and immediately greeted Li Qingru with a kind face. Su Ping took off the communicator and handed it to his mother, asking her to chat with Dong Mingsong.
Ten minutes later, the communication ended. Li Qingru looked at Su Ping with shock and surprise. This time she really believed it. After Dong Mingsong repeatedly proved it, she realized that her son had secretly Awakened, and has become a senior tutor of Fengshan College!
Fengshan College is a prestigious school. Su Lingyue's admission into it has already made her proud and proud in front of her neighbors. Unexpectedly, Su Ping is even more powerful now. Not only has she entered the prestigious school, she has also entered as the highest-level tutor. , what kind of talent does it take to do this!
In addition to the surprise, Li Qingru couldn't help but burst into tears, tears of excitement.
Su Ping didn't expect his mother to be so happy and excited, so he quickly comforted her.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? When did you wake up? Why didn't you tell me when you woke up so that I could buy you a pet? Although the family is a bit poor, even if it's a waste of money, it can be a waste of money. , I will also buy you something you can live with." Li Qingru had tears in her eyes, but her face was full of happy smiles, which was both gratifying and distressed for Su Ping.
She had never helped Su Ping in the training of a battle pet master, but she did not expect that Su Ping would achieve such success. She knew that this was inseparable from the hard work behind it.
Thinking of this, she felt even more sad and pitiful in her heart.
"Mom, this is a long story, let's talk about it later." Su Ping said softly. Seeing the real emotion in her eyes, he felt a little touched in his heart. Maybe that's why he was willing to call her mom.
Su Lingyue was silent for a while.
"If your dad knew you were so promising, he would be happy for you. I will have to contact your dad later. Now that you and Yue'er have grown up, your dad doesn't have to work so hard. I can also let him come back. Find an easy and safe job." Li Qingru wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile.
Su Ping's heart moved. He didn't have much memory of this father who had never been masked before.
"It's time to ask dad to come back." Su Lingyue, who had been silent, spoke up, her eyes became serious and said: "When I graduate, I will also become a powerful pioneer, and dad will no longer have to go to sea to make money. , I can’t come back more than a few times a year, and it’s too dangerous to go to sea.”
"Yeah." Li Qingru nodded.
She has been worried about this in her heart, and is on tenterhooks every day. After all, it is her husband. If it were not for her two children, she would not allow him to engage in such dangerous things.
After hearing what they said, Su Ping felt a little apologetic and immediately said, "Let dad come back. I will take care of you from now on."
When Li Qingru heard what he said, her eyes showed a bit of relief, "Now that you have grown up and become so good at making money, your father and I will be able to relax in the future, but we still have to continue working. When I feel better, we will follow Find another job together with your dad. If you are short of money in the future and need a little more, we can help you."
Su Ping felt a little sad, took a deep breath, and said: "Mom, we'll talk about work later. Let dad come back first. In addition, you will live on this street from now on, and I will arrange a house for you. If there is any danger, I can take care of you immediately as we are close."
Li Qingru nodded slightly, but did not ask why there was danger. She had lived longer and had more experience. She knew that the base city was not really safe, especially the slums near the outskirts of the base city.
There were quite a few base cities on Blue Star that were captured by king beasts or attacked and collapsed by beast tides. In her opinion, these were probably the dangers Su Ping was referring to.
Although the probability of it happening to you is very low, there are hidden dangers like this, so it’s good to be on guard.
After the few people had a good meal, Su Ping took his mother and Su Lingyue to find a shop selling sofa beds and let them stay there for the next few days. Later, they would arrange a real decoration team to decorate the suite.
As for the reason for letting them live here, Su Ping was vague, but Su Lingyue knew it. She and Su Ping had a tacit understanding and helped Su Ping persuade Li Qingru.
Li Qingru couldn't resist them, so she had no choice but to agree.
After settling them, Su Ping returned to the store by himself.
Hearing the construction sound of the decoration team along the way, Su Ping felt his ears numb, and said to the system in his mind: "Can you reduce the noise? There are other shops around. This has a huge impact."
The system said: "Understood."
Soon, the construction sound of all the decoration teams dropped significantly and was changed to internal decoration. In this way, to outsiders, it looked like they were decorating, but the specific decoration situation was not clear, which was completely deceptive.
Su Ping could only sigh with emotion at this hard-core upgrade process.
He returned to the store and called out Joanna who was in the foster care space. He frowned slightly when he saw the powerful aura naturally exuding from her body. This aura was like a super king beast, which was so eye-catching.
He asked her to calm down her breath and go to other shops that were under construction outside to inspect the territory.
Joanna followed Su Ping's instructions and calmed down. When she heard that she was asked to go out for inspection, she was immediately dissatisfied. She felt that Su Ping was completely abusing his private power!
However, thinking about the benefits of employee points, she secretly gritted her teeth, just hummed, and was about to go out.
At this moment, several figures suddenly walked outside the store.
The leader was an old man with white hair, wearing a green shirt, with an elegant temperament and a very elegant look. Although he did not show any strong aura, he was very inconsistent with the world around him, and he felt like he was floating away from the world.
