5 Chapter 5
Seeing how shocked they were, Lin Fan didn\'t say a thing and just waited for them to naturally come back to their senses.
After a while, Murong Quan and Luo Qing were able to gather their emotions and calm down.
Murong Quan looked at Lin Fan with a completely different gaze now, it was a gaze filled with fear that contained a trace of admiration.
Luo Qing knew that Lin Fan wasn\'t normal just based on the Fire Phoenix chick alone, so she steeled herself and summoned her pet, "Sir, can you train this pet for me?"
The pet that she summoned was an Iron 4 Song Bird. This was a pet that had a low grade bloodline, so it wouldn\'t reach a high level in its life, but this was the first pet that her parents bought for her. She couldn\'t just give up on it since it was sentimental to her.
Lin Fan just repeated the same thing he said before, but this time his voice was much colder since he knew that these kids didn\'t have much money, "It\'s one hundred crystals for Iron Grade pets."
He had thought that he had encountered some rich young masters based on how they dressed, but it seemed like they were nothing more than beggars. They couldn\'t even afford a measly hundred crystals!
Luo Qing and Murong Quan didn\'t know that Lin Fan was looking down on them, but if they knew, they would have cursed him right away. They were both from noble families, which were families that had Gold Grade Beast Masters. For them, a hundred crystals was just a drop of water in the ocean, but they were hesitant since this was an unknown shop.
In the end, Luo Qing decided to trust her gut and let Lin Fan train her pet since the power of the Fire Phoenix chick couldn\'t be faked. Although it looked like it was only an Iron 1 pet, it already had the power of the Silver Grade!
Lin Fan was immediately filled with joy since he had gained his first customer, but his good mood was quickly dampened by the system\'s voice.
"Host, your customers are looking down on your ability. Provide high class service to put your customer\'s mind at ease and repair the store\'s reputation."
"Mission content: Train this pet to have a combat strength of at least 10 or one of your pets will be removed."
"Removed? System, what do you mean by removed?" Lin Fan asked the system in his mind.
"The pet will be officially adopted by the system and will be given a new home."
"Well at least you\'re humane about it…" Lin Fan said in a depressed voice.
"Sarcasm detected, first warning."
Lin Fan had learned his lesson after his punishments, so he didn\'t have another thought.
While Lin Fan was having a conversation with his system, Luo Qing was very nervous as she was met with the silence of the owner.
She hesitantly said, "Sir, will you take my pet or not?"
Lin Fan was brought to reality by her words and he quickly said in a friendly voice, "Of course we\'ll take your pet, please come back tomorrow to pick it up.��
At first Luo Qing was put off by the owner\'s constant switching between cold and friendly, but then she realized that he had told her to come back tomorrow. Even top grade trainers would take at least a week to train a pet, but this guy was actually telling her to come back tomorrow?!
Luo Qing was beginning to feel more and more certain that this store was a scam, but since she already decided to leave her pet here, she couldn\'t back out now.
The Song Bird noticed that it was being left with someone who was weaker than it, so it decided to show its superiority by trying to peck Lin Fan\'s hand as he reached out to grab it. The moment it was going to peck Lin Fan\'s hand, there was a pressure that suddenly came over it.
This was a primal suppression that came from its bloodline, it felt like it had no choice but to submit.
The Song Bird suddenly jumped out of Luo Qing\'s hand and began running away.
Luo Qing was embarrassed when she saw her Song Bird doing this, so she quickly apologized to Lin Fan, "I\'m really sorry, I don\'t know what\'s gotten into my Xiao Ge today."
Lin Fan just nodded in agreement before petting the Fire Phoenix chick.
The Fire Pheonix chick just gave a single chirp and the Song Bird immediately stopped running. It quickly turned and had its head down as it flew in front of Lin Fan, almost like a peasant in front of an emperor.
Luo Qing was surprised to see this since her Song Bird was usually quite prideful, but now it was submitting itself to the owner of this shop. That just meant that the owner was more than what he seemed.
Lin Fan made the Song Bird sit on the side as he took care of Luo Qing\'s payment.
After receiving her receipt from Lin Fan, Luo Qing took one last look at her strangely well behaved Song Bird before walking out.
Murong Quan noticed that everything was over and he could finally leave this terrifying shop, but before he left, he didn\'t forget to show off one last time.
Murong Quan put on a fierce look when he turned back to Lin Fan, "If I find out that you lied to Xiao Qing, I will come back and destroy your store."
Lin Fan heard this and just raised the Fire Phoenix chick in his hand.
Murong Quan saw the chick and he began shivering in fear, but he pretended to be calm as he turned with a soft snort.
As Lin Fan watched him leave, he couldn\'t help giving a soft chuckle to himself because of the performance of this funny kid.
After patting the Fire Phoenix chick on the head, Lin Fan picked up the Song Bird and brought him into the back of the store.
Since the store had been upgraded, there were many new facilities for him to test.
The most important one was the shadow cultivation room, which was a room that created a perfect shadow of the pet placed inside, allowing it to fight itself and make breakthroughs.
Of course, the shadow made was much more perfect compared to the original since it had full understanding of how to use the skills the original possessed, even knowing a few skills that the original might now know.
But training in life and death situations was risky, so to make it much safer, the system also provided revival services for when the pets being trained inevitably died.
When Lin Fan had entered the cultivation room for the first time, he really couldn\'t believe how big it was. The space inside was actually bigger than the entire space of his shop.
What also shocked him was that he could simulate any environment in this cultivation room, which was technology that even surpassed the level of technology in this world.
After putting the Song Bird inside the cultivation room, he changed the environment into the natural forest environment of the Song Bird and then set in the shadow clone.
The Song Bird was shocked when it saw that the environment around it had suddenly changed into a forest, but what shocked it even more was seeing a completely black version of itself suddenly appear out of its shadow.
Before the Song Bird could even try to communicate with it, the shadow Song Bird had already started singing, gathering wind energy into a blade that flew out at the Song Bird.
The Song Bird was quite the pampered pet since Luo Qing treated it dearly as her first pet, so it normally didn\'t have any fighting experience.
While the Song Bird was shocked at the sudden attack of the shadow Song Bird, the wind blade had already arrived and had cut the Song Bird in half.
The Song Bird had an aggrieved look as it died, wishing that it could see its master one last time, but then it was suddenly revived.
The Song Bird was confused by what had happened, but seeing that it wasn\'t dead, its pride suddenly surged. The Song Bird was a very prideful cultivation beast, so how could it accept being killed so easily?
The Song Bird began singing as well and it also created a blade of wind that flew out at the shadow Song Bird, but the shadow Song Bird was more than prepared as it flapped its wings and avoided the wind blade.
While the Song Bird was still singing and gathering more energy, the shadow Song Bird flapped its wings and released a whirlwind that picked up the Song Bird, spinning it until it died once again.
Dying and reviving again and again, that was how the Song Bird spent the next day.
…
Lin Fan was outside the shadow cultivation room watching everything that was happening, but of course he wasn\'t watching it in real time.
The shadow cultivation room compressed time like the cultivation realms, but it wasn\'t at the same level as the cultivation realms, so a single hour was only a day in the cultivation room.
Lin Fan watched the Song Bird die twice before turning off the monitor and heading back to the register out front.
