Chapter 37 – Pet Nursery System Level 4
"If you don't want to go, fine. Even so, you need to know that school will start soon. If you do not gain your courage now, it will be hard for you to go to school," Lucas reminded Hailey. Hailey kept her head low and she played around with the rice with her spoon.
"Sigh~" Katheryn sighed. She wanted Hailey to go out too but Hailey refused to go out. 'I think it is best for Blue to get close to Hailey soon. If this keeps going, Hailey will be in trouble,' Katheryn was worried. As her mother, she was worried.
Her husband had died. Her eldest son had disappeared too. There was no news about Roland. She even called the high school he graduated on but they did not know about Roland. Now, it was Hailey.
Only Lucas seemed to not have any problems. Rather than a problem, he had progressed considerably in a good path. He was the one changing the most and in a good way too. Even so, it was all thanks to Sery. Without Sery, Lucas might end up in the same situation as Hailey.
'I should ask Blue to appear more in front of Hailey. Lucas was right. Hailey needs to gain her courage fast. If she does not go to school, her education will take a downfall,' Katheryn started making a plan to help Hailey.
Since Hailey did not want to talk much about going out with Lucas, Katheryn decided to talk about something else. "How about we make our events too?" Katheryn suggested. Since they own a Pet Nursery, they could organize an event too.
"Hmm?" Lucas looked at Katheryn. "That sounds like a good idea. Should we make a pet battling tournament? That is the easiest event we can do. We have the arena and our customer can participate in this tournament," Lucas loved the idea.
"So, you want to do it? Let's start planning," said Katheryn. A laptop suddenly flew towards Katheryn. That was Sery's doing.
[Nice idea, Madam Katheryn. Also, here is a gift for you, Master] Sery said and Lucas got a notification. He checked the notification and it was a mission issued by Sery.
[Mission: Pasken Pet Nursery Tournament
Description: It is the last month of Winter as well as the last month of the year. All the shops and businesses in District 24 organized an event. As a popular Pet Nursery, Pasken Pet Nursery needs to join in the festivities.
Details: Organize a tournament for the Winter Festival
Rewards: Pasken's Exclusive Pet Playground, 10 Stat Breaker Pill (Health, Energy, Attack, Defense, Speed), 200 System's Experience]
"What is with the first reward? I don't think we have that in the system's shop???" Lucas was confused when he saw the rewards.
Lucas and his pets were not the only ones getting stronger. Sery had become stronger too. For the past 20 days, Sery had been issuing a lot of missions related to the nursery. Thanks to completing the missions, the Pet Nursery System had leveled up twice from level 2 to level 4.
Every time the system leveled up, the nursery would expand and the limit of the services would increase too. At the moment, Lucas could stuff the nursery with forty nursing pens and forty pet playgrounds.
Every time the limit increased, Lucas would not hesitate to fill the limit. The reason? The nursery was so popular that he needed all of the equipment for the nursery. Now that the Phoenix Clan had started using the services back, the service was fully booked, especially the care service.
As for the Normal Dungeon, the training limit had reached the maximum. The dungeon could only hold 30 pets at one time for training. Since there was a limit to the training service a customer could do, it was not fully booked. So, it was not a problem with the 30 pets at a time training limit. It was fine.
The service limit was not the only one that increased when the system leveled up. The items sold at the system's shop increased its selection too. At level 3, Sery added four new items to the system's shop.
The first two items were the Stat Breaker Pill. These two pills were not random; it was the pill to increase the Health Stat and Energy Stat. The price for each of these pills is 200 000 Peto. Due to its specific increase, the price was twice the random pill.
The other two items were the most shocking to Lucas. It was because the two other items were the Pet Playground Patch. With this item, Lucas could patch the current playground into a different element. Lucas thought that there would be a new type of playground available but Sery made a patch for the current playground instead.
The first patch was Soil Ground. With this patch, Lucas could use it on a pet playground and a soil ground would be added to the playground. Once the patch was used on the pet playground, the ground element compatibility would be added to the playground.
The second patch was the River. With this patch, a river would be added to the pet playground and the water element compatibility would be added to it.
With the ground element and water element compatibility added to the pet playground, the pet with either of these two elements would gain a better increase in their talent for that particular element.
Even so, there were rules in patching the pet playground. All the pet playgrounds could only have 100% compatibility. Each of these patches would increase the compatibility of the element they represented by 5%. So, when a new element was added to the pet playground, the other element would gain a decrease.
For example, the default pet playground bought in the system's shop had the normal element compatibility of 100%. When Lucas used the River Patch, the water element compatibility would increase by 5% but the normal element compatibility would decrease to 95%.
Since the normal element was the default element, it could be decreased until 0% but for other elements, it would be balanced by the pet playground.
For example, it was possible to make a pet playground with 100% water element compatibility. After that, if Lucas was to add the Soil Ground Patch to the pet playground, the highest compatibility the ground element could have would be 50%. At that time the pet playground would have 50% water element compatibility and 50% ground element compatibility.
If by chance Lucas was to add another element to the maximum, it would be 33%-33%-34% compatibility for each of the elements present. If he added more, it would be 25% each.
Even so, Lucas already knew the right way to use the patch. Rather than having two or more elements in one playground, it was better to have only one. So, using these two patches, he had made a few pet playgrounds with either 100% water element compatibility or 100% ground element compatibility.
These were the items added at Pet Nursery System Level 3. A few days ago, Sery had once again leveled up to Level 4. Thus, a few more items were added to the system's shop.
The first three were the stat breaker pills for the attack, defense, and speed stats. Each of the pills would cost 300 000 Peto. It was three times more expensive than the random stat breaker pill.
Three new patches for the pet playground were added. They were the Sandy Ground Patch which would add the sand element and ground element to the pet playground, Hot Day patch which would add fire element, and Cloudy Day which would add shadow element to the pet playground.
For the Hot Day and Cloudy Day patch, each of them would cost about 100 000 Peto. The River and Soil Ground patch had the same price too. However, the Sandy Ground Patch was 300 000 Peto per patch. It was three times more expensive than the other four patches.
Sery told Lucas that it was because the patch had two elements on it. Also, the Sandy Soil patch was special because even if it had two elements, it counted as one. In simple terms, if Lucas made a 100% compatibility pet playground with the Sandy Soil patches, he would have it at 100% sand element and 100% ground element.
Other than these five items, there was one more item added to the system's shop. It was the Tier 2 Breaker pill. It had the same function as the Tier 1 Breaker pill but this pill would advance pets of Tier 2 to Tier 3. Lucas had yet to buy them for Foody and Glaide because he used most of the recent money for upgrading the pet playground.
The Tier 2 Breaker pill was useless for Fury because he was already at Tier 3. Lucas would need to level up the system more if he wanted to get the Tier 3 Breaker pill.
These were all the items added to the system's shop after the system leveled up. There were no Exclusive Pet Playgrounds sold in the shop.
[The Pasken's Exclusive Pet Playground is my gift and creation for this family's pet. As you can see, our care service is too popular and because we prioritize our customers, our pets lose the chance to upgrade their talents] Sery explained.
[The pet playground I create is special. The rules of the normal playground do not apply to this. With this pet playground, if you add the River Patch, the normal element compatibility will not decrease even when the water element compatibility increase]
[Not only that, but the pet playground will also increase in size every time the patch is added. More to that, as long as the pet playground space increases, you can put as many of your pet as you want inside. No limit] Sery proudly explained his powerful pet playground.
"…" Lucas was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Will this be fine? Won't the Guardian get angry again?" Lucas was worried. He knew about the warning and thus, he was concerned with what Sery did.
[This is fine. I do not give you this for free. This is a reward from the mission I issued to you. So, it is fine. If you fail the mission, you will not get this and I will not give it to you either. So, complete the mission and you will get the rewards] said Sery.
