Chapter 1: The World of Star Pets

It is evident that this is not his room

Left

Hmph

The door suddenly swung open

Swish

A person came to foster a 'messenger bird' in good faith, but after less than a week of care, when they took it back, the bird would call out 'stupid idiot' to everyone, using foul language. As a result, just a few days later, it was killed by someone, and the case remains unsolved to this day

Upon hearing this, the black cat exerted itself to flap its short limbs vigorously, finally managing to flip its body over. It shook itself a few times, glanced at the startled Su Ping on the ground, and began to walk slowly towards the girl with an elegant, kitten-like gait

Star Pet

At this moment, Su Ping suddenly noticed that the black cat had two sharp black horns on its head, and among the patterns of fur on its forehead, there were several strands of dark red fur, resembling the loops of flames

Along the way, Su Ping saw skyscrapers that resembled those on Earth, but the only difference was that most of the pedestrians by the roadside were accompanied by peculiar-looking star pets

This transformation occurred because they entered different schools at the age of twelve

After sitting for a while, until there was no more movement outside, Su Ping finally got up from the ground

It seemed as though one was holding back, but could not contain it any longer, when suddenly a burst of laughter came from beside.

With a sense of astonishment, Su Ping quickly opened his eyes and turned his head to look. This glance nearly scared him out of his wits!

Bang

Who is calling me handsome

Hey, why are you standing there in a daze? You can't really be stunned, can you?

Clearly, this individual "Su Ping" does not possess such talent, and this talent is determined at birth, which means he is destined to be an ordinary person from the moment he was born

Su Ping slightly held her breath and frowned

The store is a pet shop.

Wait a moment

However, during their childhood, neither of the siblings had such a concept, so Su Lingyue, who possessed the talent for star pets, was often bullied by Su Ping, who had no talent.

Su Ping felt somewhat dazed, no wonder he found himself in this unfamiliar room, encountering this strange girl, and this peculiar cat.

It turns out I have traveled through time

Recently, your brother's store has been struggling with business, lacking customers. How about putting your snowball in the store for a while to enhance its appearance?" Li Qingru tentatively inquired

But I am just staying at home and sleeping, can I wear this too

Su Ping went to the living room to bring over a chair and sat down, gazing at the abundant congee, meat pie, and soy milk on the table, feeling quite hungry

At the foot of the bed stood a delicate and charming young girl, dressed in orange cartoon pajamas, with bright eyes and a radiant smile, fitting the description of a light beauty. However, at this moment, she was laughing so heartily that she appeared completely unrefined.

Su Ping

Su Lingyue's gaze suddenly became somewhat vigilant; this fellow was acting unusually, could it be that he was secretly up to something again

This is a world similar to Earth, where technology is more advanced, having long stepped beyond Earth and entered the interstellar era, but here the focus is not on technological development, rather it is centered around unique star pets

Su Ping was taken aback

Binding completed ... ... Preparing to start ... ...

Pain

She is not actually worried about Su Ping's safety, but rather afraid of being blamed by her parents

Su Ping gradually immersed himself in these memories; the more he understood, the more he was shocked. He also came to know the truth behind the female ghost he had seen earlier

Star Pet

One is an ordinary vocational school

Su Lingyue was taken aback for a moment, somewhat surprised

Contract completed, system binding in progress

In this world dominated by star pets, not everyone can become a star pet warrior; only those with the innate talent for the original core can form a contract with star pets

Su Ping was startled at the thought of the terrifying female ghost left aside, and quickly turned his head to look.

Perhaps it is an illusion, but Su Ping feels that he is being looked down upon by a cat

Where is the female ghost

Suddenly, a shadow sprang out from the bed, it was a black cat

Su Ping was taken aback, and suddenly a brilliance shone in his eyes

One is the Star Pet Battle Master Academy

Beside his pillow, there leaned a ghostly face with seven bleeding orifices, its mouth twisted into a grotesque smile, revealing a set of white, sharp teeth

Su Lingyue was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Su Ping who was eating porridge heartily, and immediately rolled her eyes, saying irritably: "Mom, ever since you handed this shop over to this guy, the business has been declining day by day. What is the reason? Isn't it because this guy is always neglecting his duties? Do you still remember the last time when we almost got reported to the Star Pet Association?"

Su Ping felt as if his nose was about to break, with a sharp, stinging pain

It seems that it has not been cleaned for a long time, and a strong odor of urine and pet feces permeates the store, which is somewhat pungent

However, ever since the shop fell into Su Ping's hands, the situation has immediately deteriorated significantly

Demon-type battle pet, Illusion Flame Beast, whose primary abilities are to create illusions and control fire elements

I have arrived

system

After a moment, Su Ping also finished breakfast. As usual, under Li Qingru's admonition, he rode his bicycle to the store

Splash!

To be precise, it is to find a way to defeat the star pet that defeated his sister

Another world

Su Ping is a mediocre star pet breeder. Although he is called a breeder, in reality, he is just the kind that provides services for star pets

What was meant to come has indeed arrived

Reflecting on this guy's eighteen years of life, Su Ping felt somewhat emotional. Not only has this guy achieved nothing, but he has also offended the only person who could support him. Since childhood, he has been mischievous, making his sister suffer terribly. Whether it was putting caterpillars in her lunchbox or sneaking up on her at night dressed as a ghost to scare her, he was on the verge of becoming her childhood nightmare.

What is the situation

He turned his head to look.

Mom, I have finished eating and will head to the academy first. The plan has failed, and Su Lingyue is not in the mood to dawdle, so she quickly finishes her meal and speaks to her mother.

Su Ping's vision was blurred, and he felt an overwhelming influx of information surging into his mind from all directions, crashing in like a torrent

Su Ping was momentarily taken aback, just feeling a sense of relief

"As long as you’re not foolish, it’s fine. However, with your pitiful intelligence, perhaps a bump on the head might actually make you smarter!" Su Lingyue scoffed coldly, turned around, and left, "Stop dawdling, hurry down for dinner, and don’t make mom call me up again to urge you!"

Bang

Su Ping smiled bitterly in his heart as he began to organize the memories in his mind

The ghostly face slightly grinned, revealing a crimson tongue

Of course, this is not because he has a great fondness for star pets; on the contrary, this fellow harbors a deep disdain for them. His research is solely aimed at finding a way for ordinary people to defeat star pets.

As of today, the siblings have completely diverged in their paths; one is a genius girl who has been admitted to a prestigious school for star pets, with a bright future ahead, while the other has not even been able to gain admission to an ordinary university and can only drop out early to help manage the family business

... ...

Su Ping figured that he needed to find an opportunity to reconcile with this influential young lady; otherwise, if he experienced a few more bizarre scares, he would not only be left with psychological shadows but would also end up with a nervous breakdown

The overwhelming influx of mixed information was immense, and Su Ping felt as if his head was about to explode. The pain was unbearable, and he gritted his teeth, barely managing to hold back his cries.

Su Ping trembled in fear, is the ghost laughing

Su Ping was startled; it turned out to be Su Lingyue returning. Her sinister face appeared behind the door as she said: "Also, you must not go to Mom to complain, otherwise..." She made a gesture of cutting her throat.

Without waiting for Su Ping's response, the poor door once again endured a violent impact

Does he think that enduring humiliation will soften my heart?

I rely on it

Su Lingyue noticed Su Ping sitting on the ground in a daze, feeling that something was amiss. She recalled that he had fallen earlier, landing on his head first, and couldn't help but frown.

Mother Li Qingru said, she appeared to be in her forties, gentle and serene

How long will it take to come down? The porridge is getting cold, hurry up and eat

At the dining table, Su Lingyue was already sitting there eating, and she had placed the phantom flame beast named 'Snowball' on the chair next to her, which belonged to Su Ping

The store is located at the end of a commercial street, which is considered a relatively secluded position. However, it used to have a good amount of foot traffic because Su Ping's mother, Li Qingru, is a certified star pet breeder in the Federation. Although she is only a junior breeder, running such a small pet shop is more than sufficient, thus attracting a large number of repeat customers

Such a rare star pet was actually used by my own sister, Su Lingyue, to scare herself on a daily basis

Su Ping felt a bit dazed, and at that moment, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding environment was somewhat different

Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Su Ping. She deliberately used a snowball to provoke Su Ping, hoping to make him angry, shout loudly, and then have their mother come to scold him. To her surprise, this guy actually held back

For someone who can't even take care of a simple messenger bird, do you still dare to let him take care of my Snowball? This is a high-level star pet with the potential to be promoted to level 8. If you are willing to part with it, I have no objections, after all, Snowball was purchased by you.

Su Ping gave a faint bitter smile. Aren't other people's younger sisters all sweet and adorable soft girls? Why does it seem that in her case, there is a tendency towards being a bit of a violent girl

Li Qingru saw her about to leave and said, "Xiaoyue, wait a moment."

Hahaha ... ... Su Ping, are you trying to make me die of laughter? This is so frightening, you are really too cowardly!

Li Qingru opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words, and could only let out a sigh

Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice echoed in Su Ping's mind

The variety of star pets is extensive, closely intertwined with human society. There are utility pets responsible for infrastructure, transportation, daily living, and even scientific research! Meanwhile, interstellar exploration and warfare are managed by combat pets, and the strength of these combat pets determines the wars and status of various great powers.

Su Ping has come to his senses and glanced at the proud girl, who stood with her arms crossed and an air of arrogance. With a hint of helplessness, he said: "Please don't make jokes like this in the future"

Now it is good, the thigh has become an enemy, and this younger sister is not an easy character either, instead, she has turned into his adult shadow

Hmm?

In the past, in such situations, didn't the other party immediately jump up and accuse oneself like a shrew, hurling insults?

Is it possible that ... ...

After reviewing the memories of the original owner, Su Ping found it somewhat amusing and exasperating. The pair of siblings truly were adversaries; they had never seen eye to eye since childhood. When they were young, Su Ping always enjoyed playing pranks, bullying, and scaring his younger sister. Unexpectedly, as they grew up, the roles reversed, and now it was Su Ping who lived in constant fear.

He glanced around the room and saw many figurines and posters of Star Pets. Although he was originally an ordinary person, his research on Star Pets was no less than that of an average Star Pet Warrior.

Within the target range, suitable souls have been detected, proceeding with contract verification

"Snowball, come here," the girl called to the black cat

Hmm

A ... ... `` ? '' slowly emerged from his head

However, just thinking about the terrifying female ghost on the bed behind him made Su Ping feel a chill run through his entire body

The palm went straight through the ghostly face and landed on the soft pillow, unexpectedly hitting nothing but air

If it were not for her poor health, which requires her to rest, Su Ping would not have taken over the business so early

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the bed was empty, and the female ghost was nowhere to be found

Suddenly, as if the fabric of time and space trembled

Could it be the hand exercises before sleep that caused this

The moment they became aware of their differences, it marked the beginning of Su Ping's disaster

Am I not sleeping alone? Who is speaking?

Um, pfft ... ...

Su Ping shivered and swung his hand back to deliver a slap.

This younger sister is not an easy character to provoke; she has kept a meticulous record of the grievances from her childhood when she was bullied, and over the years, she has more than repaid those debts from Su Ping.

Buzz

He closed the door behind him.

Strange

The most striking feature is the wall behind the girl, where a large monster poster is affixed, likely from a movie.

Now that his body has been taken over by him, he does not wish to continue living under the revenge of this sister's pranks

Why is it so quiet today

Su Ping raised the rolling shutter door, and sunlight streamed into the store, revealing the dust dancing in the air

Su Ping was terrified and hurriedly turned to run, but in her panic, she failed to notice and her palm met empty air, causing her to fall directly to the floor, landing face down.

Su Ping's lips curled slightly, even having breakfast felt filled with malice

Su Ping felt a sense of nostalgia, as everything seemed like a dream, yet it was real

After all, a true nurturing master can change the potential and rank of a star pet, and their status is not much inferior to that of a star pet warrior, and may even be higher

Laughter came from one side of the room

Ah? Su Lingyue turned her head

This Illusion Flame Beast is that monstrous cat, a fierce demon-type battle pet, and it belongs to the dual domains of spirit and element as a star pet, classified as a 'rare' variety, and is extremely expensive

Rather than saying it "sprang" out, it is more accurate to say it rolled out; its body is indeed too fat, almost like a sphere

Humph! Su Lingyue saw that he was perceptive, let out a cold snort, picked up the still gnawing Snowball, changed her clothes in her room, and went out.

Can you still expect someone who despises star pets to take good care of them

Su Ping has never had the habit of putting up pictures in the room

Indeed, it is another world...

Brother, it is time to get up

Su Ping noticed the unfriendly glance from Su Lingyue, feeling somewhat speechless, and continued to lower his head to eat his porridge, choosing to ignore it

After tidying up briefly, Su Ping put on his slippers and went downstairs

Soon, he arrived at his own pet store.

However, years have passed, and he still suffers daily from abuse and contempt, unable to retaliate, indicating that this research is progressing with great difficulty

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the chaotic storm in his mind gradually subsides, and fragments of memory begin to emerge in an orderly fashion along the timeline.
