God of Pets

Chen Guan was force-fed a ton of dog food and was about to leave when he heard that Qing Ya was going to the restroom.

He turned around to see Bu Changning quickly jogging over from the side.

"Captain Chen..." Bu Changning smiled and greeted him.

"Weren't you supposed to keep a distance?" Chen Guan helplessly stopped, it seemed Bu Changning had spotted him long ago.

"I said when I become a dog you should keep your distance, I'm not a dog yet," Bu Changning replied.

"Then what were you doing just now?" Chen Guan countered.

"Deep affection can only lead to heartbreak, wise men don't fall in love, so wise men can't master that kind of Secret Technique, Qing Ya is my childhood friend, I love her very much," Bu Changning explained.

"So... you involved her in your plans... Can someone really do such a thing..." Chen Guan's expression was odd.

"No, if she doesn't let me down, she'll be my antidote, and we can naturally be together forever," Bu Changning said.

"What if she betrays you?" Chen Guan asked.

"I know her, she's not that kind of person," Bu Changning said decisively.

"If she were that kind of person, and you use her to break through again, it wouldn't be a loss," Chen Guan nodded slightly, seeming to understand Bu Changning's thoughts.

"No, she wouldn't, anyone else could betray me, but she wouldn't," Bu Changning said with firm conviction, not seeming to be pretending.

"As long as you have that confidence." Chen Guan was a bit surprised, it seemed Bu Changning truly was devoted to this girl, rather than just seeking to master the Devil's Scripture.

"Don't go yet." Bu Changning hurriedly called out to the ready-to-leave Chen Guan.

"What is it?" Chen Guan looked at him puzzled.

"Could you lend me some money? I've spent all my money on buying a pet for Qing Ya, and I won't have money for a cab later, and pets aren't allowed on roads in the city, surely Qing Ya can't walk out of town with me..." Bu Changning looked at Chen Guan with pleading eyes.

"You... impressive..." Chen Guan was exasperated; he lent a bit of money to Bu Changning, just enough for the cab fare, not much more because any more would be like sending buns to the dog, never to return.

After lending the money, he quickly left, not wanting to be further involved with Bu Changning and the others.

Choosing a direction opposite to the city's exit, Chen Guan arrived at a supermarket called "East Emperor."

This supermarket was very famous throughout the Divine Land, large in scale and high in standards, currently only found in first-tier cities, not yet in small cities like Chen Guan's hometown.

Upon entering East Emperor, you could immediately see the first floor was filled with all kinds of Secret Treasure shops.

There were many stores, and even more Secret Treasures, dazzling the eyes. Any casual Secret Treasure here started at three figures, and there were basically no ordinary Secret Treasures, at least rare ones.

Chen Guan went all the way to the third floor's Secret Skill shop; in the very rare Unparalleled Secret Skills, each store here had some, and the prices weren't cheap, with the same quality, prices were several times more than outside, if not ten times more.

The best part was that all the goods here were priced clearly, you liked it, you bought it, generally no haggling, but discounts were possible.

Chen Guan strolled from shop to shop, finally in one shop, he came across a Secret Skill that caught his eye, "One-Night Step," a kind of World-Defying Secret Skill, with the cultivation requirement of Second Awakening, non-Yin Attribute Alien Energy.

Walking alone, towards the horizon, to the corners of the sea by evening, witnessing humanity's flowers in bloom, admiring the splendid colors of the four seas.

One-Night Step was an extremely fast Lightweight Skill, advantageous in many aspects, though the Primordial Energy consumption was a bit higher than other World-Defying Secret Skills, it also meant the speed was comparatively faster.

Chen Guan wanted exactly this effect; he immediately took a fancy to this Secret Skill. Seeing the price tagged at 188,888, not considered cheap, but relatively cheap for a World-Defying Secret Skill here.

Secret Skills with cultivation requirements like this were cheaper than those without any, due to the limitations, the audience was smaller; if there were no cultivation restrictions, the price could have been several times more.

After confirming there was no discount, Chen Guan bought the "One-Night Step," paid, took the ticket, and used it on the spot.

Secret Skill: One-Night Step (World-Defying).

Cultivation Requirements: Second Awakening, non-Yin Attribute Alien Energy.

Primordial Energy Consumption: 36 points.

Skill Level: 1.

Generally, Second Awakening Cultivators only have enough energy to use for a quick burst, there would be few who would use their energy for such a thing.

As he was about to leave, the shopkeeper suddenly called out to Chen Guan, saying, "Sir, you mentioned wanting a detection-type Secret Skill earlier, we do indeed have one, but it's quite expensive, would you like to have a look?"

"The more expensive, the better," Chen Guan said with a smile.

The clerk said they didn't earlier, but now they do, surely because they saw him pay so generously, spending nearly two hundred thousand at once, hence they wanted him to look at products only offered to high-end clients.

"Sir, please step into the VIP room." The shopkeeper led Chen Guan to the VIP room on the second floor, where no goods were displayed, designed quite elegantly.

The shopkeeper personally brought over some tea and snacks, providing thoroughly attentive service.

Unintentionally, the shopkeeper displayed his elegant posture and beautiful profile, showcasing his best side to Chen Guan.

Good-looking, young, and rich, who wouldn't like a man like that?

Chen Guan sat on the sofa, not touching the snacks, after a while the shopkeeper brought out an exquisite box.

"Sir, please have a look at the introduction of this Secret Skill first." The shopkeeper handed Chen Guan an exquisite booklet.

Chen Guan opened the booklet, seeing the characters "Pupil Light" on the first page.

The second page detailed the Pupil Light skill introduction, a unique Secret Skill, with not much Primordial Energy consumption, requiring only 1.1 points, not requiring any cultivation prerequisites, Level 1.

But the price for this unique Pupil Light Secret Skill was shockingly two million, costing more than many World-Defying Secret Skills.

The shopkeeper stood by quietly, neither explaining much nor rushing; seeing Chen Guan frown, he didn't say anything, standing by with a smile, waiting.

Chen Guan continued flipping through, discovering the Pupil Light skill's role, and couldn't help but brighten up.

It was a skill that could sense other people's gazes, and when the Pupil Light skill was activated, any gaze falling on him could be sensed, and he could discern the direction the gaze came from.

Even if he turned his back to others, he could still sense their gaze.

Chen Guan felt this was exactly the Secret Skill he had been searching for; previous skills he'd seen were all active reconnaissance types, with Eye Skills and Hearing Skills, but they all had limitations.

Eye Skills required actively discovering the target, Hearing Skills had a certain range limit.

This Pupil Light perfectly met Chen Guan's needs; as long as someone was watching him, no matter how far, he could sense it.

The back of the booklet also had a detailed analysis and usage method for the Pupil Light Secret Skill, surprising Chen Guan was that even if someone used binoculars, monitors, or cameras to look at him, he could still sense it.

Of course, that referred to real-time monitoring; watching recordings afterward would not be sensed.

"Isn't this a unique Secret Skill? Nobody's practiced it yet, how's the skill's function analysis so thorough?" Chen Guan closed the booklet and asked.

"Sir, this skill was acquired by our boss after leading a group to kill a World-Defying Secret Spirit; during the battle, this skill gave them a lot of trouble. But they didn't realize it was this skill causing the issue until they got it," explained the shopkeeper.

"An auxiliary Secret Skill, unique at that, isn't this price too high?" Chen Guan tried to get the shopkeeper to offer a discount.

"Our boss personally set the price for this Secret Skill, saying that for one who can make use of it, the price isn't high, even cheap; for those who can't, no matter how low he sells it, they'll find it expensive, so our set price is the selling price, no discounts. He said anyone who knows its worth will definitely buy," the clerk replied.
