46: Spend points

Hearing Luo Chen's voice, Luo Yang shoved his terminal in front of Luo Chen, saying with an angry tone, "Someone on the internet is slandering the pet store."

Luo Chen moved the terminal, which was almost shoved into his mouth, a little further away, and then he could clearly see the content on it.

'Chenyang Pet Store has terrible service and kicks customers out of the store.'

Below that were thousands of words, adding fuel to the fire, describing what happened inside the Chenyang Pet Store.

Things like the staff having bad service, the store being small, and there being only a few Beasts, making people come for nothing.

Moreover, the Beasts kept in the store were all ordinary, useless Beasts, with a large close-up photo of a Fragrant Rabbit.

Below this post, many people agreed, stating that they would not shop there again in the future.

At first glance, Luo Chen was a bit angry, but after a while, he gradually calmed down.

Because aside from the post's heavily emotional wording, Luo Chen felt that the rest of what they said was quite reasonable.

Bad service? Luo Chen recalled that there were too many people just now. His face seemed a bit cold, but he could explain that it wasn't a cold face; with so many people, he couldn't go out.

The store space was small; with over four hundred people coming in at once, his store, which was only over five hundred square meters, naturally seemed small.

There were only a few Beasts in the store; Luo Chen couldn't argue with that, but his store was going for a boutique route in the future, so isn't it normal to have fewer Beasts?

As for the close-up of the Fragrant Rabbit, can his Fragrant Rabbit be the same as those in other stores? Have you ever seen a five-star Fierce Beast Fragrant Rabbit?

Luo Chen stroked his chin in thought, wondering if they should also open an official account like other popular online shops.

But as soon as he thought about the current busy State of the store, Luo Chen could only temporarily give up this idea; besides running the store, he also needed to cultivate, so where would he find so much time to maintain an account?

However, he could directly open a verified official account, and when Beasts were for sale in the future, he could post about them there, which would also be convenient for customers.

Luo Chen took out his terminal and followed the verification process, creating an official account for Chenyang Pet Store.

However, it was currently bare, with no content, and after setting it up, Luo Chen put it aside and didn't bother with it anymore.

Luo Yang watched Luo Chen verify an official account and then make no other moves, so he couldn't help but ask,

"Brother, aren't you going to do something to counter those posts that are slandering you?"

"Counter what? Don't you think what they said is very true? Besides, being famous for controversy is still fame; this is a good thing. When our Beasts are updated in the future, we'll just hit back with quality."

Although Luo Chen made sense, Luo Yang still felt a bit aggrieved, so he simply closed his terminal and didn't look at the content.

Luo Chen patted his shoulder, his calm eyes settling Luo Yang's emotions.

"You are now a Spirit-Rank Beast Master, you should consider what your second Beast will be, and you're starting school the day after tomorrow. Have you done your homework?"

Hearing Luo Chen mention this, a hint of panic flashed in Luo Yang's eyes, and he smiled apologetically at Luo Chen,

"Brother, uh, I'm going home to rest first."

Saying that, he picked up his jacket that had fallen to the ground and casually patted Chi Yan's head, "Chi Yan, let's go."

Watching Luo Yang and Chi Yan's figures flee in disarray, Luo Chen smiled silently.

Opening the system panel and looking at the account balance of 250 points, Luo Chen felt inexplicably dazzled; it would be better to spend some of this number.

He looked at the five items in the supply section, wanting every single one of them.

Finally, after some deliberation, he spent one hundred points to purchase a Level 1 Spirit Spring, which could produce 10 cubic meters of spirit-infused spring water daily, and this could be placed in the Secret Realm.

Then he spent fifty points to purchase five mystic spirit grasses, which he planned to place in the store: two on the first floor, two on the second floor, and one on the third floor.

Moreover, mystic spirit grass not only continuously increases the concentration of spiritual energy daily, but it is also a crucial material for the Fragrant Rabbit to evolve into a Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, making it arguably the most useful material for Luo Chen right now.

For the last one hundred points, Luo Chen bought a Level 1 Secret Realm Space Expansion Stone and a Level 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill, both items costing fifty points, perfectly spending all his points.

The Level 1 Secret Realm Space Expansion Stone, of course, was used on the only Level 1 Secret Realm, which Luo Yuheng had renamed Qingyou Secret Realm.

The name's origin was naturally related to the only Beast, Azure Nether Grass, within the Secret Realm.

The Level 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill was naturally prepared for Little Furball; if he didn't dote on his own Beast, who would?

In System Task Two, the task of evolving three Beasts had already seen one (Frost Wolf King) evolved, and Luo Chen planned to use Little Furball and the Fragrant Rabbit to complete the remaining two.

The items purchased from the system were still delivered very quickly, but this time they weren't thrown on the ground like trash as before; instead, they were gently placed on the only table in the breeding room.

A purple hexagonal stone with the character 'null' (empty) written on it should be the Secret Realm Space Expansion Stone.

A fist-sized, white jade-glowing bead, its appearance didn't reveal what it was.

And five mystic spirit grasses that Luo Chen was familiar with.

Finally, there was a square purple jade box. Luo Chen stepped forward and opened it, only to find a thumb-sized pill inside.

As the jade box opened, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted to Luo Chen's nose, making him feel a desire to swallow it.

He picked up the pill from the jade box, walked over to the soundly sleeping Little Furball, and dangled the pill under its nose.

As if dreaming of something delicious, it closed its eyes and extended its pink tongue to lick the pill, then with a flick of its tongue, the thumb-sized pill disappeared into its mouth.

It even smacked its lips as if still wanting more. Luo Chen smiled faintly and rubbed its head, letting it continue its peaceful sleep in its nest.

He found flowerpots in the store, transplanted the five mystic spirit grasses into them, then placed two pots on the first floor, one each in the breeding room and boarding room on the second floor, and one in the empty room on the third floor.

As Luo Chen arranged these mystic spirit grasses, with his sensitive Breeder's perception, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy in the store becoming more abundant.

Holding the remaining two items, Luo Chen had already deduced that the white-glowing bead should be the Spirit Spring, although he didn't know why it was a white bead.

But the system said that as long as he dug a pit and placed it inside, a fixed amount of Spirit Spring would be produced daily, which was very convenient.

Luo Chen took these two items to the third floor and entered the Qingyou Secret Realm.

The ground was still densely covered with green grass, walking on it felt like walking on a soft carpet.

However, the drawback was that on this verdant carpet, there were large patches of black stains, which were the empty spaces left after the Azure Nether Grass was dug up.

Now, the green grass had not yet occupied the land they left behind, so such an incongruous scene appeared.

But what caught Luo Chen's attention the most was a small house standing on the flat ground, and a magnified version of Little Furball was lying in front of its door.

Luo Chen walked for nearly three hundred meters before reaching the wooden house and greeted the Light Spirit Cat King at the entrance.

"Is my father still cultivating inside?"

The Light Spirit Cat King lazily nodded, then turned its head and nudged the door, indicating that Luo Chen could go in and find him directly.

Luo Chen shook his head, instead walking up to the Light Spirit Cat King, a friendly smile on his face,

"Big Furball, do me a favor."

The Light Spirit Cat King, called Big Furball, tilted its head curiously at Luo Chen, clearly asking, What favor?

Luo Chen reached out and stroked the Light Spirit Cat King's broad back, running his hand down its fur, thinking to himself how smooth it was, and at the same time saying, "Just dig a pit for me in front of this house."

The Light Spirit Cat King nodded at its feet as if it understood, yet didn't.

Luo Chen quickly said, "No, not under your feet."

He walked about thirty meters in front of the wooden house, then looked at the distance, feeling it was appropriate from the wooden house.

Only then did he point to his feet and say, "Here, dig a pond about fifteen meters long and five meters deep."

The Light Spirit Cat King stared at Luo Chen's feet, deep in thought. It waved a paw at Luo Chen, signaling him to move aside.

Luo Chen obediently moved away from his spot, and then saw the Light Spirit Cat King's eyes brighten, and a transparent giant hand appeared where Luo Chen had just stood.

The transparent giant hand extended its five fingers and dug fiercely into the soil, easily pulling out dark brown dirt, which was then placed on the empty ground nearby by the palm.

A large pit, over a meter deep, was left in its place. Seeing the Light Spirit Cat King's quick movements, Luo Chen understood that it had grasped his meaning.

Luo Chen then took out another hexagonal purple stone and pressed it onto the ground within the Secret Realm.

An invisible ripple spread from the Secret Realm, and then the Secret Realm's boundary suddenly receded outwards, with more dark brown soil appearing at the boundary.

Looking from above, one could see that the Secret Realm had become a whole circle larger; after all, one hundred square meters, equivalent to one-tenth of the original Secret Realm's size, was a very noticeable increase for the Secret Realm.

The Light Spirit Cat King on the other side just glanced up at the Secret Realm's expansion this time, and seeing no danger, it no longer paid attention.

It continued to diligently dig the pit for Luo Chen with its giant hand.

However, Luo Yuheng, who had been immersed in cultivation, was startled by this vibration. His original cultivation had already come to an end, and he had stopped cultivating when he noticed the Light Spirit Cat King using its Skill.

Now, the changes in the entire Secret Realm made him even more surprised, and he immediately walked out of the wooden house, seeing the scene outside, and asked with some confusion,

"What are you two doing?"
