Chapter 6 – Pasken Pet Nursery
[Why are you naming a cute pet like this Fury???] Sery was confused. The white furball was too cute and adorable to have ferociousness within him. The name did not make sense.
"You keep saying that all pet training in this nursery will become strong especially my pet because I can use them all for free. So, Fury will become strong in the future and it will not be the cute and adorable furball once I train it," said Lucas.
"Also, if what you said all this time works, I plan to catch and train all cute, adorable, and weak pets. I will train them all to become strong. I want that to be a theme of my team of pets," said Lucas while smiling.
[…] Sery was speechless. He never thought that Lucas had that plan. [Whatever. Just do what you want. All those cuties will indeed become strong when training in this nursery] said Sery.
"Can I start training Fury now?" Lucas asked. Since he was now a tamer, he could use the nursery.
[Send Fury for automatic training first. You need to raise your stats a bit and learn one or two skills. If you enter the dungeon in your current power, Master will have a hard time] said Sery.
"That makes sense. Lucas, train your body first," said Katheryn. She was worried.
"Oh, okay. Can we train Red and Blue? They need some training too," asked Lucas.
[They need to pay. Since Madam gets a 90% discount, she will need to pay 10% of the normal prices] said Sery and he continued, [I will tell everyone now what the price for all the services in this nursery is. The price is fixed by the system and you cannot change it]
Lucas and Katheryn nodded. Hailey was still focused on the cartoons. She did glance a few times towards them because of Red, Blue, and Fury's presence.
[At the moment, we can only accept pets at the Newborn stage. Higher stage pets cannot use our nursery] said Sery and he added [Here are the prices of the three services in our nursery] A system notification appeared in front of Katheryn and Lucas.
Nursing Service – Nursing Pen Stage 1 – 100 Peto per hour
Care Service – (Normal) Pet Playground Stage 1 – 50 Peto per hour
Training Service – Normal Dungeon Stage 1 – 10 000 Peto per session/per week
"The nursing and care service is quite cheap for all the benefit the pet will get but the training is super expensive," said Lucas and he asked, "How long is one session?"
[One session is one hour in real life. That means the pet will train in the dungeon for one day. Also, one pet can only be trained once a week for one session] said Sery.
"…Isn't the training time too little? Will the pet become stronger?" Lucas had his doubt.
[I told you before that even the most untalented pet will at least have a 0.1 increase in their stats if they train in our nursery. Do you know how much train needs to be done to increase 0.1 points of stat? For pets with C potential, that will take them a week at least. Only if they are constantly in battle can they raise that much point in a few days and we can raise much more in an hour. The price is reasonable] said Sery.
"…Okay. What about the 'per week'? What is that?" Lucas asked.
[I cannot let them use the nursery too many times or they will become stronger than you, my Master. As your butler, how can I let others be above you? No way! My Master needs to be the best! I am here for my Master. My job is to take care of My Master. My Master is my EVERYTHING!] Sery was excited.
"Pfft~" Katheryn was holding her laughter. "Sery loves you a lot, Lucas."
"Thank you, Sery," Lucas sincerely thanked Sery.
[Don't worry Master. I did this all for you because that is my job. Don't worry, I will also help you find a good girl for you to marry in the future too] said Sery.
"… Thank you for that too," Lucas felt awkward. He did not want to get set up by someone else in a relationship. He preferred to find one by himself. Maybe when he was desperate, he would ask for Sery's help.
"Anyway, the one-week limit, will it apply to mom too?" Lucas always remembered his family.
[No, Madam can use it anytime she wants as long as she pays. Also, since Madam will be the one mainly taking care of the nursery, I decided that the service she paid will be for one day instead of one hour or one session. Madam needs to be strong too to protect herself] said Sery and Katheryn gave Sery a thumb up.
"Thank you, Sery. That will be helpful," said Katheryn.
[My Master's family is my Master too] said Sery proudly.
"So, do I send Fury to the dungeon now?" Lucas asked.
[Let's go to room no 3 first] said Sery. Lucas and Katheryn went to the training room. Katheryn went there to learn how to use the training service. As for Lucas, after he sent Fury for training, he would focus on learning some skills.
As they get inside Room No 3, they meet the huge screen again. [Turn Fury into a card again and insert it into the tube] Sery instructed Lucas. Lucas called Fury back and took out Fury's card. He put the card in the tube and the screen was switched on.
On the screen was the picture of Fury with its detailed information. Lucas chose Fury and there were lists on what kind of training he wanted for Fury. There was a health course, energy course, attack course, defense course, speed course, and skill course.
[When training here, everyone can choose what training they want for their pet. If they wanted training to increase the health stat, the pet will train in the health course meaning only the health stat will increase once the training ends. If the tamer wanted to focus on something else, we will choose other courses] Sery explained.
[Master should understand what the energy course, attack course, defense course, and speed course do, right?] Sery asked and Lucas nodded. [As for the skill course, the pet will train to increase the level and rank of the skill they have. It is possible to choose to train in only one skill or let the pet decided it themselves]
[If the tamer let the pet choose whichever skill training they want to do, there is a chance that the pet might learn a new skill based on which dungeon they trained in] said Sery and he added [Even the skill that the pet cannot learn can be learned by them] Lucas and Katheryn was shocked.
"Are you saying that Fury can learn a skill that a normal furball could not learn?" Lucas asked.
[Yes, also, it is possible for a pet to create a whole new kind of skill. I am not joking. That is how powerful our training service is and that is why it is expensive] Lucas and Katheryn were shocked.
Both of them did not know every skill a pet could learn but they knew that most pets learn the same skill. All because they got the influence from other pets or monsters. Even so, to create a new skill… they never heard of it or maybe it was super rare.
"You are really-" Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Sery cut him, [Yes. I know I am a cheat power. You said that many times today, Master]
"Hahaha, I cannot help it. You keep giving me a surprise today. I thought I could expect everything but it looks like I cannot," said Lucas while scratching his head.
[Well then, Master should choose what training you want for Fury] said Sery.
"Hmm… I don't have any experience with this. What should I start with?" Lucas asked. He had no idea what training was the best for Fury. He knew many things about pets but that did not mean he knew everything.
"It is better to max out all of Fury stats. There are researches done saying that the closer the stat point of the point to maximum, the easier for them to learn and advance their skills," said Katheryn. Lucas glanced at Katheryn.
"…" Lucas did not say anything.
[Madam is right. The research is correct. I can confirm them but it will still depend on the potential of the pet. The potential is still the crucial point in the advancement of the pets because they are the force power needed by pets and monsters] Sery added.
"Then, let's train in Health course first," said Lucas and he chose the health course on the screen. After that, there were lists of dungeons he could use to train Fury.
At the moment, there was only one dungeon present and it was a Stage 1 Normal Dungeon. There was no dungeon with that name in the world. Lucas knew that this was a default dungeon by the system.
When Lucas chose the Stage 1 Normal Dungeon, the screen showed the compatibility with Fury. "Is this compatibility determining the suitability for the pet to train here?" Lucas asked.
[Yes. The higher the compatibility, the faster the pet will grow in power when training. So, choose the most compatible dungeon with the pet when training] said Sery.
"Oh~ Luckily Fury is a normal element pet. This dungeon had more than 90% compatibility with Fury. So, his progress will be fast inside this, right?" Lucas asked again.
[Yes. But even if they train in a dungeon with low compatibility, the pet will still get something though the chance is low] said Sery.
Lucas chose the dungeon and Fury's pet card shone lightly and the screen changed to a view of the Stage 1 Normal Dungeon and they could see Fury rolling around in the vast world leisurely.
"So, I just let Fury by himself like this?" asked Lucas and Sery said yes.
[When a day in the real world ends, the training will end. At that time, Master and Madam as the owner and employee of the nursery will get the notification on your system and can choose to continue training in other courses or end the training] said Sery.
"We can give orders using our system?" Lucas asked.
[Yes, you can. Sometimes, you guys will get busy with something else and the pet will waste time waiting for your next order. So, controlling from the system will make it easier to manage the nursery] Sery answered.
[Also, this only applied to Master and Madam. When you train your pet for a full day in real-time, you need to let them rest for a few hours in the real world for them to destress. Training is stressful and they need some rest. The pets are living things too. You can use the pet playground to rest for the best effect] said Sery and Lucas and Katheryn nodded.
They agreed with what Sery said. One whole day training was equal to 30 days inside the dungeon. 30 days of non-stop training was too stressful for pets.
In Petrian, a day had 30 hours. So, since the dungeon was 1 day equal to 1 hour in real-time, 1 day in real-time equal to 30 days in the dungeon. On Earth, that was equal to 1 month but in Petrian, 30 days were not 1 month.
In Petrian, a month had 50 days. There were four seasons in a year, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. In each season, there were 3 months. It meant that a season in Petrian equaled 150 days. A year was equal to 600 days.
"Is it possible to change the service from training to care using the system?" Lucas asked.
[Yes, you can. No need to worry] Sery confirmed.
"It will be easy to transfer Fury from training to care. I don't know how long I will spend my time training my body and skills, so this will help take care of Fury," said Lucas.
[Ah I forgot to say that this machine can also be used to assign the nursing and care service] said Sery. Lucas and Katheryn nodded. [However, the panel in the nursing and care room cannot be used for other services] Sery added.
As Fury was busy training, Lucas decided to leave the room and went upstairs to his room. "Mom, you should learn some skills too. We got a lot of skills when we went to buy Fury, Blue, and Red," said Lucas.
"Did you buy skills? Aren't they expensive? I don't think I give you that much money," Katheryn said.
"Well, Sery has his way," said Lucas.
[Madam, I have created a lot of skills that I think are suitable for you. You can find them in the bookshelf inside your room] said Sery and he added, [If you dislike them, you can learn skills from the bookshelf in Master's room]
"I will learn them later. Right now, I want to finish making the brochure. We need to promote our nursery," said Katheryn and she continued, "Have you decided what name will our nursery be?" Katheryn looked at Lucas.
"How about we used our family name? This can be considered a family business, so our family name will be suitable as our nursery name," said Lucas.
[Then, will it be Pasken Pet Nursery?] Sery asked.
