Chapter 5: Chapter 5 The unexpected visitor to the mysterious pet shop
"The novice mission is completed, the host panel is unlocked..."
"The pet store is officially open for business."
"Establish the [Currency Conversion] module, establish the [Chaos Breeding Spirit Pool]..."
"The novice mission rewards are issued, do you want to claim them now?"
The familiar system prompt sounded like a loud bell in Andre's ears, instantly pulling his thoughts immersed in memories back to reality. When he heard that there was a reward to be claimed, a light flashed in Andre's eyes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, full of expectation and excitement. He did not hesitate and said loudly: "Come!"
"The host has obtained the primary 'pet identification technique'."
Pet identification technique? Andre was slightly stunned and waited quietly for a few seconds, but no more prompts came from his mind. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, his heart full of surprise and confusion, thinking to himself: Is this the end? I worked so hard, and experienced three days of cruel torture in the purgatory-like Thunder Cloud Sea Realm, and endured the pain of countless deaths, but I only got this book of pet identification? And it was even a primary one? !
In Andre's opinion, there is a comprehensive pet illustration compiled by the Federation in this world, so this pet identification technique seems to be quite useless, it is simply a useless and extremely rubbish skill.
"The pet identification technique issued by this system can see through billions of star pets, which is not comparable to your pet illustrations." The cold voice of the system suddenly sounded, responding to Andre's indignation and complaints. The tone was obviously full of dissatisfaction with Andre's ideas, as if rebuking his shallowness and ignorance.
Andre was stunned, and a burst of astonishment appeared in his heart. Seeing through billions of star pets? In his past memories, even the most authoritative and comprehensive pet illustrations compiled by the Federation seemed to record only a few million kinds of star pets, and many of them were extinct in the long river of history. Is this what people often say, "System products must be fine products"?
Thinking of this, the original resentment in Andre's heart instantly disappeared. Although this reward is different from the treasure that he expected to immediately enhance his own strength, but thinking about it carefully, this is indeed an extremely precious skill. Moreover, if he has the opportunity to enter an ancient place full of mystery and unknown like the Thunder Cloud Sea Realm in the future, he can use this identification technique to identify those little-known ancient star pets. After all, most of those ancient star pets have long been extinct, and their relevant information is very few in the Federation's illustrations, and there is almost no record to speak of.
As soon as he got this magical skill, Andre felt his heart surge, like the surging waves, and it took a long time to calm down. He was full of impulses to try it out, and he couldn't wait to look around, as if he wanted to find a star pet to test the magic of this skill immediately. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Thunder Rat that had experienced many life and death tests with him.
"Where is this little thing now?" Andre muttered to himself, and then hurriedly walked towards the pet room at the back. As soon as he stepped into the pet room, he saw the Thunder Rat lying in one of the ancient and mysterious stone tooth formations, sleeping soundly, and it looked like it was sleeping very sweetly.
Obviously, the three days of hell-like training had already exhausted it, and its physical strength and energy were exhausted. Therefore, as soon as it returned to this familiar and safe place, it could no longer resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Andre looked at the Lightning Rat carefully and found that its appearance had not changed much compared to three days ago. It was just that the originally light purple hair now had a few faint dark purple strands, and its body looked a little thinner. However, a gloomy beast aura emanated from it, and that aura seemed to materialize, causing the Moon Chasing Dog in the Stone Fang Formation on the other side to tremble and look extremely uneasy, as if it felt some powerful deterrent.
Seeing that the Lightning Rat was safe and sound, Andre couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the contract between them had been terminated at this moment, and they could no longer communicate and convey emotions, just these three short days of getting along had already made Andre feel an inseparable emotion for this little guy, and he was full of reluctance. It was a pity that it was a star pet fostered here by someone else, and it had to be returned to its original owner.
"Do you want to use the pet identification technique?" Just as Andre sighed secretly and immersed in this complex thought, such a prompt suddenly popped up in his mind.
Identify this little guy? Andre was slightly stunned, and then a trace of curiosity arose in his heart, and he chose "yes" as if possessed by a ghost.
In an instant, detailed information about the Thunder Rat appeared in Andre's mind:
Thunder Rat
Attribute: Thunder Pet
Level: First-level upper
Combat Power: 36
Qualification: Middle and lower
Ability Control: Lightning Speed Rush, Thunder Flash, Thunder Shadow Afterimage, Thunder Break, Lightning Coat
Andre was stunned, his eyes full of shock. Thunder Flash? He actually saw the magical "Thunder Flash" in this ability control list! It really learned this top thunder secret technique? ! Andre's heart was like a storm, and it took a long time to calm down. In the subsequent battles, he never saw the Lightning Rat use the skill of "Lightning Flash" again. He even thought that he was dazzled and saw it wrong. Unexpectedly, this little guy actually understood this magical skill! You know, this Lightning Rat is just the lowest-level star pet that can be seen everywhere in the Federation. However, now it has mastered the skill of "Lightning Flash" that even the seventh and eighth-level high-level Lightning Star Pets can hardly master. How shocking is this! I'm afraid that if this matter is told to others, others will think that Andre is crazy and will say such absurd words. "This little guy... his value has doubled!" Andre came back to his senses, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he had seen a rare treasure. A Lightning Rat that has mastered the secret skill of "Lightning Flash" is more than a hundred times more valuable than its peers? Not to mention that it has mastered several other powerful skills. In addition to the lightning speed that all lightning rats can master, skills such as "Thunder Break" and "Thunder Shadow Afterimage", which one is not a powerful ability that high-level star pets must have? The lightning rat that controls so many powerful skills, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a low-level divine beast.
However, what surprised Andre was that in the qualification column of its attributes, it was displayed as "middle and lower" qualification.
"Qualification evaluation is based on the comparison of all lightning rat data from the beginning of endless chaos to the present, the host does not need to doubt it." Sensing the doubt in Andre's heart, the system's indifferent voice sounded again, as if explaining to Andre the reason behind this seemingly unreasonable assessment result.
"All lightning rats..." Andre was stunned when he heard this, and was speechless for a while. He thought to himself that the number of lightning rats born in the Federation every year was a huge number that was difficult to count, not to mention that this evaluation was calculated from the long-ago chaotic period that seemed endless. So... This lightning rat was able to rank in the middle and lower ranks in such a huge data comparison, which was already so powerful that it was terrifying!
…
…
On a street in Vienna's new city, Su Yanying raised her head slightly and looked forward along the street. She could already see the sign of the small pet store at the end of the street - Little Naughty Pet Store.
Today's sunshine was bright and warm, and it gently fell on the streets like a golden veil, but Su Yanying's mood seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, terrible, as if she was in an endless dark abyss, without a trace of light.
She never thought that she would be so unlucky and was forced into such a desperate situation in the preliminary stage of the highly anticipated pet competition. You know, this pet competition is an annual event of the academy. It is an excellent stage for many students to show their strength and compete with each other. In this competition, the strengths and weaknesses of the students will be shown without reservation. If you can stand out in the competition, enter the vision of those star pet masters, and then get their more careful and professional teaching, it will undoubtedly add an extremely brilliant resume for yourself to enter the star pet team in the future, which is of great significance.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. In these three consecutive rounds of competition, the opponents she met were all those popular and powerful figures, each of whom was strong and should not be underestimated. In the fierce confrontation with them, the several war pets she carefully cared for were all seriously injured. At this moment, they were already scarred and had little strength to fight again.
Stopping in the preliminary selection? This is absolutely unacceptable for Su Yanying, who is arrogant and has high hopes for herself! She is not willing to return in defeat and become a laughing stock of others.
In order to continue to fight in the competition, she had spent a lot of money on her family to invite a senior pet therapist, who spent a lot of energy and time to help her heal the injury of one of her pets. But it was far from enough to have only this pet to restore its combat power. It could only be used as a killer at a critical moment and play a key role at the end.
She knew that she needed a pet to play a forward role to test the strength and tactics of the opponents' ace pets, so that she could better formulate a response strategy and increase her chances of winning.
If the academy did not have the rule that prohibits pets that have completed the contract within one month from participating in the competition, she would even want to buy a few more pets at the last minute, even though she knew that doing so would probably put a great burden on her spirit and might even cause some unpredictable mental problems. But at this moment, in order to continue to move forward in the competition, she could no longer care about so much.
However, the reality was cruel. Now she had no other pets to choose from, and only a Lei Guangshu was left outside. In her previous understanding, this was just a very ordinary low-level lightning mouse, mediocre and without any highlights. She had originally planned to abandon it directly. After all, with the current strength of this lightning mouse, facing the strong opponents she encountered now, it would probably just die in vain and would not play any role at all.
But fortunately, the softness in her heart at that time prevented her from ruthlessly canceling the contract with this lightning mouse. Because of this, this lightning mouse became the only second battle pet around her that could go into battle. Although its strength is indeed a little weak, it should not be a big problem to use it as a test stone to initially test the opponent's situation, Su Yanying comforted herself in this way.
"Is the boss here?" Su Yanying gently pushed open the slightly old shop door and slowly walked into the pet store. As she walked lightly, she casually looked around the store, only to find that the store was empty everywhere, giving people a rather deserted feeling, as if it was about to move.
"Is it going to close down?" Su Yanying thought to herself, but then she thought again, fortunately she came in time, if it was later, the store might not be there.
"Is anyone there?" Andre, who was in the pet room, heard the noise coming from outside and immediately walked out quickly. He saw a pretty girl standing in the store, looking around curiously.
