Chapter 5 - The Last Day

"Novice mission completed. Host interface unlocked…"

  "The pet shop is officially open for business."

  " Create [Currency Conversion] module, create [Chaos Incubation Spirit Pool]…"

  " Novice mission rewards are issued. Do you want to receive them now?"

  The familiar system notification woke Su Ping up. His eyes lit up when he heard the reward." Take it!"

  "The host has obtained the beginner pet appraisal skill."

  Pet Identification Technique?

  Su Ping waited for a few seconds, but he didn't hear any more notifications. He couldn't help but stare.

  That's it?

  After three days of purgatory torture, he actually got a pet appraisal skill? Or elementary?

  There was a comprehensive pet catalog from the Federation. In Su Ping's opinion, this pet identification skill was useless. It could not be any more useless.

  "The pet appraisal skill awarded by this system can identify hundreds of millions of star pets. It is incomparable to your pet catalogue."

  The system replied coldly. It was obviously dissatisfied with Su Ping's anger and complaints.

  Su Ping was stunned.

  Insights into billions of star pets?

  In his memory, even the most authoritative and comprehensive pet catalog in the Federation seemed to only have information on millions of star pets, including many extinct star pets.

  Is this the legendary system product? Must it be a high-quality product?

  Su Ping's resentment disappeared immediately. Although this was different from the reward he had hoped for, it was still an extremely precious skill.

  Moreover, if he were to enter an ancient place like Thunder Cloud Sea Jie again in the future, he would be able to identify those ancient star pets with this appraisal technique. After all, most of those star pets had already died out, and their information was not recorded much in the Federation Atlas.

  Su Ping's heart was racing as soon as he got the skill. He looked around and suddenly thought of the Lightning Rat.

  "Where's this little thing?"

  Su Ping ran to the pet room behind him and saw that the Lightning Rat was sleeping soundly in one of the ancient Stonetooth Arrays.

  Obviously, the three days of hell had exhausted it, so it fell asleep the moment it returned to this familiar place.

  Compared to three days ago, the Lightning Rat's appearance didn't change much. It just had a few more dark purple strands in its light purple fur and a slightly thinner body.

  However, the faint aura of a dark beast emanating from its body caused the Moonchaser Hound in the Stonefang Formation on the other side to tremble and feel extremely uneasy.

  Su Ping heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was fine. Although the contract had been broken and they could no longer communicate with each other, he could no longer bear to part with the little fellow after three days together.

  Unfortunately, it was someone else's star pet, so it had to be returned.

  "Do you want to use pet appraisal?"

  Su Ping sighed to himself when a notification popped up in his mind.

  Identify this little guy?

  Su Ping was stunned for a moment before choosing yes.

  lightning rat

  [Attribute: Thunder-type pet]

  [Level: Upper Tier 1]

  Combat Power: 3.6

  Qualifications: Medium to Low

  [Ability Control: Lightning Rush, Lightning Flash, Lightning Shadow Afterimage, Lightning Break, Lightning Coat]

  Su Ping was stunned.

  Lightning flash?

  He actually saw Lightning Flash in his ability control!

  It had really learned this top-notch lightning element secret technique?

  Su Ping was shocked. He didn't see the Lightning Rat use Lightning Flash again in the later battles. He thought he was mistaken, but he didn't expect it to understand it!

  A mere Lightning Rat could be seen everywhere in the Federation. The lowest-level Lightning Rat had actually mastered Lightning Flash, which was difficult for even a seventh-rank or eighth-rank high-level lightning star pet to master. How shocking was this? If word got out, others would think that he was crazy!

  " This little fellow…his status has doubled!"

  Su Ping regained his senses and his eyes lit up.

  A Lightning Rat that mastered the secret technique Lightning Flash was worth a hundred times more than its peers.

  Not to mention the other skills.

  Apart from Lightning Rush, which was commonly mastered by Lightning Rats, which one of them wasn't necessary for advanced star pets?

  The Lightning Rat, which controlled so many powerful skills, was not an exaggeration to say that it was a low-level divine beast.

  However, the strange thing was that in its attribute aptitude, it actually gave a "middle and low" aptitude?

  " The aptitude assessment is based on the comparison of all the Lightning Rats 'data from the beginning of the Endless Chaos to the present. There is no need for the host to doubt it."

  Sensing Su Ping's suspicion, the system said calmly.

  "All Lightning Rats…"

  Su Ping was stunned and speechless.

  Just the number of Lightning Rats born in the Federation every year was an uncountable number, let alone counting from the ancient chaos era.

  In that case…

  This Lightning Rat was ranked as a medium to low grade talent. It was already considered terrifyingly strong!

  ...

  ...

  Su Yanying raised her head slightly. She could already see the signboard of the small pet shop at the end of the street-Naughty Pet Shop.

  It was sunny today, but Su Yanying's mood was gloomy and terrible.

  She did not expect herself to be so unlucky. She was forced into a desperate situation in the preliminary selection stage of the Pet Competition.

  This was the academy's annual event. The strength of the students would be displayed in the competition. Through the competition, they would enter the eyes of some star pet masters and obtain better teacher guidance. It would also be a brilliant resume when they entered the star pet team in the future!

  Unfortunately, after three consecutive rounds, she had encountered powerful opponents who were very popular. As a result, the few battle pets she had carefully cared for were all injured, and it was difficult for them to fight again.

  Stop at the primary?

  This was unacceptable to her!

  She had already asked her family to spend a lot of money to hire an advanced pet healer to help her heal one of her battle pets.

  But one is not enough, it can only be used as a killer.

  She also needed to play forward and test out the enemy's trump card battle pet.

  If it weren't for the fact that the academy prohibited pets that completed their contracts within a month from participating in the competition, she would even want to buy a few more pets at the last minute, even though that would cause a great burden on her mental state and even cause problems.

  But now, she didn't have any other battle pets around her. All that was left was a Lightning Rat that was being fostered outside.

  A very ordinary low-level Lightning Rat.

  Nothing unusual.

  She had originally planned to give it up. After all, this Lightning Rat could no longer keep up with her footsteps. Facing the opponent she was facing now, it was just a suicide mission.

  Fortunately, she was a little soft-hearted at that time and didn't cancel the contract directly. As a result, this Lightning Rat became the only second battle pet beside her that could only fight.

  Although it was weak, it shouldn't be a problem to be a road-testing stone.

  "Is the boss here?"

  Su Yanying pushed open the door and entered the pet shop. She took a casual look at the environment of the shop and found that it was empty everywhere, as if it was about to move.

  Is this going to close down?

  Su Yanying thought to herself, Thank goodness I came in time.

  "Someone?"

  Su Ping heard the voice and immediately left the pet room. He saw a pretty girl standing in the shop and looking around.
