Chapter 118 Crowded Shop

Chapter 118 Crowded Shop

The Pyro Canine saw Su Ping’s face and immediately tried diving back into the pet space. Though this was not its call anymore. When Zhang Baoxing closed the entrance, the creature nose-dived into the floor instead.

Zhang Baoxing blushed slightly upon seeing the awkward reaction of his pet. He wondered why the dog always behaved weirdly at the shop.

Su Ping saw the Pyro Canine showing him a pleading look; he responded with “give up” using eye contact. He got the money, so he had to get the job done.

“You know where to go by now, right? Go ahead,” he ordered using spiritual connection.

The Pyro Canine glanced back at its owner with watery eyes and slowly paced to the back of the shop, head lowered.

Zhang Baoxing saw how his pet was overly “grateful” and couldn’t help but admire the good service Su Ping provided.

“Next.”

“Remember me, Mister Su? You’ve also trained my pet!” the second one in the line called happily.

“No, sorry.”

Lu Pengfei frowned in embarrassment. He thought he’d at least be recognized as one of the rankers in the academy. Though he wasn’t going to complain because Su Ping was supposed to be a busy teacher after all.

“It’s my Phantom Sika again, sir!” Lu Pengfei summoned his pet deer with a big smile. That crowd control skill helped him put several more competitors under him on the ranking list. He wanted to keep going.

The deer shrieked at the top of its lungs and dove behind Lu Pengfei’s back.

Lu Pengfei could feel the emotion of his pet, though he didn’t care too much about it. He believed that Su Ping’s training had to be pretty harsh, which was a good thing.

“Easy, buddy. Come out.” Lu Pengfei tried comforting the deer. “You can’t get strong without hard work.”

The deer mumbled something to Lu Pengfei as if complaining. Too bad, no one could understand it.

In order not to waste time, Su Ping gave the creature an alarming stare, causing it to shut up all of a sudden. The last bit of hope shown in its eyes was quickly replaced by pure despair.

“Go there on your own,” Su Ping said in a cold voice.

Lu Pengfei sighed in relief when he saw his pet obeying the order. He quickly made the payment, offered an apology to the rest of the customers and stepped away.

Thanks to Su Ping’s impressive way of training, all pets who knew this place feared Su Ping so much that they’d listen to his words without much resistance. Only a few pets who had yet to receive any training from Su Ping still looked forward to the new experience. As the long queue steadily shortened, a shadowy figure approached from one side.

Su Lingyue had checked multiple times just to make sure that she was looking at the Pixie Pet Store. She couldn’t believe that there were so many customers coming.

Moreso, she found many of her classmates waiting outside the door.

That guy became famous in the academy. That’s why all these students came to check him out, huh?”

A bored student saw her secretly peeking into the shop and asked out aloud, “Oh! Is that you, Su Lingyue?” Su Lingyue was the tournament champion of all the first-graders. Of course most people in the academy knew her.

Su Lingyue jumped at the sudden call and quickly made a “shh” sign to tell that speaker to be quiet. “Ahem... Just passing by,” she said in a small voice. “What are all these people doing here?”

“You don’t know this place?? Professor Su runs this pet shop! He offers really nice training sessions. Did you know? Su Yanying’s Lightning Rat grew so strong all thanks to him!” “The Lightning Rat? HE trained it?” Su Lingyue’s eyes went wide.

She quickly remembered how she asked her mother for a Lightning Rat the other day, when Su Ping almost laughed at her.

A**hole! He wanted to make fun of me, didn’t he?!

But on second thought, she didn’t believe that her failure of a brother could actually train that exceptional Lightning Rat. Not even her mother could do such a thing. “Seriously? You sure you heard that right?” she asked in doubt.

“I am. See that? Lu Pengfei is coming. He’s been here several times already.”

“Lu Pengfei??” Su Lingyue quickly recognized the senior student who always held a spot on the academy’s ranking list.

“Yeah! I mean, why would he come back if the shop doesn’t work?”

“Someone told me that a master trainer is helping in the shop,” another waiting student said.

A master trainer?? Su Lingyue was shocked again. Why haven’t I heard about that? And wait, why would a master trainer help our shop in the first place?

Of course a master trainer could help a weak Lightning Rat grow several ranks stronger in a short amount of time. Yet Su Lingyue couldn’t find any possibility that might get such a trainer to work in their small shop.

She suddenly felt worried. She had not been paying much attention to her brother for quite some time. She was losing track of him.

A man came to her with a proud smile. “Miss Su, I’ll give you my spot if you want to buy something quicker.”

“...No, thanks.” She retreated farther from the queue so Su Ping didn’t see her.

While waiting under a tree, she saw many more customers coming and leaving. It seemed most of them didn’t mind waiting for a while because there were no lessons that day.

She felt excited all of a sudden. As far as she could see, that many customers would get them at least a 40,000 to 50,000 net income daily. They needed it.

A moment later, she saw another familiar face joining the queue from the back. It was Su Yanying, the woman who fought the exhibition match together with Su Ping.

Whereas some of the students still had doubts about the rumor they heard, Su Yanying’s arrival quickly convinced them. After that, everybody was excitedly waiting for their turns.
