《Making Pets A Worldwide Phenomenon》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Anh City, an ancient and beautiful city in the middle of the motherland. In a corner of this city, there was a strange pet store. The pets sold in this store were a bit different from those in normal pet stores. There were only a couple pets like cats and dogs in the store, but rare pets like lizards, snakes, hamsters, and parrots were the mainstream instead. The name of this store was Bizarre Pet Store. At this moment, the young store manager, Fang Ziyu, was extremely busy. Fang Ziyu had just carefully put a hamster that could spout out flames into the cage and warned it not to do so randomly again. The parrot on the side, which could create a huge gust of wind by flapping its wings, blinked and blew everything in the store everywhere with its wings. When Fang Ziyu saw that the store that had just been tidied up became messy again, he immediately flew into rage on the spot. He rushed over in three steps and pointed at the parrot, saying word by word, ¡°If you dare to move again, I¡¯ll have braised parrot tonight.¡± The parrot¡¯s neck shrunk in fright when it heard about braised parrot. It shook its little head constantly and didn¡¯t dare to look around. However, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t let this parrot go just like that. Ever since its wind controlling ability was awakened, it was simply the most troublesome existence in the store. ¡°Let me warn you. Xiao Qing has already finished all its food. If you flap your wings again, you can be its dinner.¡± Fang Ziyu pointed at a green snake in the glass tank on the floor and said. Hearing what Fang Ziyu said, the green snake, who was lying in the glass tank, raised its head and flicked its red tongue at the parrot. ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± Hearing that, the parrot instantly got scared and it screamed shrilly. Even though it had awakened its ability, it still had a natural fear of snakes, not to mention that the green snake below had also awakened its ability. Eating it would be a piece of cake. After teaching this parrot that didn¡¯t remember anything a lesson, Fang Ziyu continued cleaning up the messy store with a long face. Ever since a global downpour two months ago, almost all living things on Earth had mutated. Among the mutated animals, it wasn¡¯t rare for them to have the ability to spout out flames and water. Fang Ziyu even saw videos on the forums that challenged human imagination where pigs had wings, a hen flew into the sky and ate an eagle in one bite, and so on. However, all of these were real. Compared to those animals, the mutations of the pets in his pet store were still acceptable. The only thing that was a bit strange was the mutation of that lizard. Even a new kind of power appeared in the human body. This kind of power called Spiritual Power didn¡¯t give people the ability to move mountains or drain seas. The only ability of Spiritual Energy that people had found at the moment was to create a connection. An equal connection that allowed them to become companions with mutant animals. Humans, who contracted pets to become Summoners, could actually get a part of the pet¡¯s ability. Some human Summoners, who had pets, instantly became arrogant and thought they were invincible. Unfortunately, the sudden rise of Spiritual Energy didn¡¯t cause the collapse of world order. The country seemed to have been prepared for this. All those arrogant people were locked up in prison. The country didn¡¯t stop people from becoming Summoners either. Instead, it published all kinds of information about the rise of Spiritual Energy. As long as the Summoners who contracted pets went to a specialized organization for registration and got the license of a Summoner issued by the country, they could live normally. Of course, one must obey the law. After cleaning up the store, Fang Ziyu sat down and took a sip of water. Then, he took out his phone and started to research a strange software, ¡°A Guide for Raising Order Spirits.¡± Fang Ziyu originally thought that he accidentally downloaded a trashy game application, but he found that the application couldn¡¯t be removed. So, he wanted to study what exactly this was. After opening it, Fang Ziyu found that it was a very simple software with a total of three pages: ¡°Personal Center,¡± ¡°Order Spirit Handbook¡± and ¡°A Guide for Raising Order Spirits.¡± Fang Ziyu opened the Personal Center curiously and found that his information had already been registered: Bound Summoner: Fang Ziyu Gender: Male Race: Human Occupation: Summoner Body Condition: Weak Summoner Level: First Origin Stage/Level 1 Summoner Skills: Passive (Skill description: All active skills you have will be turned into passive skills.) Total Spiritual Power: 1.1 (Description: The starting Spiritual Power of the First Origin Stage is 1) Order Spirits: None Handbook Point: 0 ¡°Ah, this Summoner skill is quite interesting. Passive? Does it mean that I can kill the enemy just by making normal attacks? Or does it mean that I can just stand still when the enemy attacks me, so the passive skill can be triggered, causing the enemy to die?¡± Fang Ziyu saw the description of the Summoner skill and had a hint of anticipation for this game. Thinking of this skill, Fang Ziyu felt pleased. He wished he really had this skill. Unfortunately, this was just a game. When Fang Ziyu was about to continue exploring how to play this game, a 1.9-meter-tall, muscular man with extremely intimidating muscles walked into the store. From afar, he noticed a pot of withered devil¡¯s ivy on Fang Ziyu¡¯s table. ¡°Ah, Fang Ziyu, you¡¯re quite impressive to be able to make the devil¡¯s ivy withered.¡± The burly man teased him, then chuckled and continued, ¡°But it¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll give it some milk and bring it back to life.¡± The burly man said as he stretched out his hand and shot out a stream of milky-white energy at the devil¡¯s ivy. In an instant, the devil¡¯s ivy that was withered just then turned green. He really brought it back to life. Perhaps he gave the devil¡¯s ivy too much milk, it seemed to be shaking slightly. The burly man nodded in satisfaction, then looked up at Fang Ziyu and said with a smile, ¡°You look a bit weak. Do you want me to give you some milk too?¡± ¡°No, please don¡¯t. If there¡¯s nothing else, you should go back and study your flowers.¡± Hearing that, Fang Ziyu immediately jumped up and waved his hands repeatedly. This guy could indeed produce milk, but his milk wasn¡¯t pure. Fang Ziyu would never want his milk even if he was dying outside. This 1.9-meter-tall muscular man was called Xiao Bai. He opened a small florist shop opposite Fang Ziyu¡¯s store. After the two of them got to know each other, they soon became brothers who talked about everything. Even though Xiao Bai was as unlucky as Fang Ziyu and he only awakened his Spiritual Power a few days ago, Xiao Bai also got a very rare and unique skill, which was where the milk just then came from. However, Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t really envious when he thought that a big man like him had awakened the ability of producing milk. Thinking that when he went out to fight monsters with people one day, the group of people would have to protect a muscular man who was 1.9 meters tall in the middle and this muscular man would even shoot out streaks of milky-white energy at everyone from time to time. That scene was simply too wonderful¡­ ¡°Haha, don¡¯t ask me to give you milk in the future.¡± Xiao Bai retracted his hand resentfully. He also knew that there seemed to be a small problem with his ability. ¡°Right, why haven¡¯t you contracted a pet?¡± Xiao Bai looked around the store and pointed at the mutant lizard in the pet cage not far away. ¡°That mutant lizard is pretty good. Why don¡¯t you contract it? Don¡¯t you want to become a powerful Pet Summoner and conquer the Sea of Stars quickly?¡± The mutated pets in Fang Ziyu¡¯s store were considered normal. Only the lizard was a bit different, but compared to those strange mutated animals on the Internet, it wasn¡¯t weird at all. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for me to become stronger, not in this life. Why should I rush? I might even find something better. That mutant lizard can¡¯t run away even if I put it there.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and said. He was originally a commoner with no great ambitions. Even if he became a Summoner, it was impossible for him to conquer the Sea of Stars. Most of the time, he would still be living a leisurely life where he could relax. Fang Ziyu was the kind of person who didn¡¯t get involved in affairs in the world. Xiao Bai: ¡°¡­¡± Thank you for making people who don¡¯t dream sound so refreshing and otherworldly. ¡°But by the way, don¡¯t go nutes and really run into the wilderness. You also know how dangerous those places are right now. Don¡¯t go and dig your own grave without a Level 3 pet, or I won¡¯t have the ability to collect your corpse.¡± Fang Ziyu was afraid that Xiao Bai would be a bit too confident with his muscles and would run out of the wilderness, so he quickly reminded him. It had already been two months since the rise of Spiritual Energy and various kinds of dangers were everywhere in the wilderness. 99% of those who overestimated themselves and went out to take risks had all failed. Although Fang Ziyu also looked forward to having a pet with great potential, he cherished his life more. ¡°I know. I¡¯m a man who¡¯s determined to become a top Summoner. Why would I risk my life?¡± Xiao Bai waved his hand and said as he looked at Fang Ziyu, ¡°Let¡¯s not go to the wilderness. Let¡¯s go to Xin¡¯an Park and take a look. The country has just cleaned up that area. Most of the pets are at Level 1 right now. We can go there and take a look. We might be able to encounter some pretty good ones.¡± ¡°Xin¡¯an Park, alright.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and agreed after thinking for a while. The park was in the city, so it was relatively safe. Besides, Fang Ziyu reckoned that this guy would drag him there even if he rejected him. And with Xiao Bai¡¯s arms that were thicker than his thighs, he couldn¡¯t possibly resist. Xiao Bai originally thought Fang Ziyu would reject him according to his unambitious nature, but he unexpectedly agreed directly. Xiao Bai smiled as he patted Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back and prepare. I¡¯ll come and get you tomorrow morning. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll be fine with me giving you milk.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t. I won¡¯t go if you give me your milk¡­¡± Before Fang Ziyu finished talking, Xiao Bai had already slipped back into his own store.. Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Meow¡­¡± As soon as Xiao Bai left, a big orange cat came down from the second floor with heavy steps. The chubby big cat had a round face, big eyes and a body full of golden glossy hair. It walked down the stairs slowly and came to Fang Ziyu¡¯s side. It rubbed against his legs and raised its head as it made a sound. However, what was unbelievable was that it only rubbed against Fang Ziyu gently, but it caused him to stagger. It wasn¡¯t that Fang Ziyu was too weak, but that this was a mutated orange cat. ¡°No, Yellow, you can¡¯t eat anymore today. Look at yourself. Do you still look like a cat?¡± Fang Ziyu was already too lazy to care about how Yellow almost knocked him down. This guy had already eaten five kilograms of cat food today. He had only mutated for a few days and he already weighed at least fifty kilograms. At this rate, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to crush things. This was Fang Ziyu¡¯s own pet, an orange cat that was already six years old. It wasn¡¯t a noble breed. It belonged to Fang Ziyu¡¯s grandma when she was alive. After she passed away, Fang Ziyu took it from his parents in the countryside and kept it. As the manager of the pet store, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t pursue noble breeds like Ragdolls or British Shorthairs. He thought that he should get a pet that most suited him. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Yellow raised its round head and looked at Fang Ziyu with a pair of big, amber eyes in confusion, as if it was wondering why Fang Ziyu suddenly changed. Fang Ziyu squatted down and petted Yellow from head to tail. Hm, petting it felt even better than before after the mutation. After petting it enough, Fang Ziyu gave Yellow a fake fish toy. ¡°Meow, meow?¡± Yellow picked up the fake fish and bit it. After discovering that it was a fake fish, it swept it aside with a disgusted look and scratched Fang Ziyu¡¯s pants with its two furry claws, meowing furiously. It stared at Fang Ziyu fiercely, as if it was saying, ¡°Poop-picker, are you rebelling? Are you using a fake fish to deceive your cat master? Doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt?¡± Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Didn¡¯t you have fun with the fake fish in the past? Even cats became so smart after the rise of Spiritual Energy. Fang Ziyu felt that his future was totally full of darkness. Feeling helpless, Fang Ziyu could only take out the dried fish that he hid in several boxes and put it in Yellow¡¯s cat bowl. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± As if they smelled the dried fish, the two British Shorthairs in the cage at the door also meowed. However, Fang Ziyu showed the dignity of a store manager in front of these two ordinary cats. After throwing two fake fishes over, Fang Ziyu grunted in satisfaction when he saw that the two cats were having fun. He felt that he seemed to have regained his lost face again. After doing all of this, Fang Ziyu made a cup of black tea, lay comfortably on the chaise longue and turned on the phone. Even though the world had undergone huge changes, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t seem to have any awareness at all. He still stayed in the pet store leisurely and lived his boring and relaxing life. In his words, since even those arrogant Summoners and powerful Chaotic Monsters were dealt with by the country, nothing would definitely happen to him, a good young man who abided by the law, was honest, kept his promises, loved his country, and was dedicated to his work. Of course, it wasn¡¯t that Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t envy those powerful Summoners, but he understood that it was better not to go out and dig his own grave with his small body and without a powerful pet. Anyway, as long as he didn¡¯t court death, he wouldn¡¯t be in trouble. Fang Ziyu knew this deeply. After turning on the phone, the game, ¡°A Guide for Raising Order Spirits,¡± was still open. After entering the game, it was still on the page of the Personal Center before. Apart from the basic introduction of the Summoner, it seemed that there wasn¡¯t anything else in the Personal Center. Fang Ziyu then clicked into the ¡°Spirits Raising Guide¡± page. He wanted to see what the spirits raised in this game that couldn¡¯t be removed looked like. After opening it, the page was completely blank, with nothing but a camera icon. Fang Ziyu subconsciously opened the camera. Do you allow access to the device camera¡­ Device camera permission granted¡­ Start scanning¡­ Please aim the camera at the spirit that needs to be scanned. ¡°Spirit? The mutated pets?¡± Fang Ziyu mumbled and pointed the camera at Yellow, who was chewing on the dried fish. As the scanning line swept twice, an information page about Yellow popped up: Spirit Species: Orange Cat Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 3 Properties: Nature Skills: Eating Fish (Description: When the Orange Cat activates the skill of eating fish, Fish Spirits and Fish Monsters below its level will be frozen.) Suppression: Level 1 Nature-type fish and mutant existence Evolution Potential: Level 3 Evolution Pathways: Orange Cat King, Big Orange Cat ¡°Orange Cat King? Isn¡¯t it still just an orange cat¡­¡± Fang Ziyu complained and chose the evolution to the Orange Cat King. More lines of words appeared at the bottom of the screen: You chose the evolution to the Orange Cat King. Materials Required for Evolution: The core and corpse of a Level 2 Chaotic Monster, Red Jade Carp, and a Level 2 mutant catmint. Evolution Required Environment: None Evolve with Handbook Points: 30 points There was a picture attached to the evolution materials. Fang Ziyu looked at the picture and looked it up on the computer. He really found the mutated Chaotic Monster, Red Jade Carp, and the mutated catmint. What made Fang Ziyu a bit surprised was that the name that appeared in this stupid game was actually the same as the name people on the Internet gave the Chaotic Monster mutated from a carp. Looking at the page on the phone, Fang Ziyu blinked and got up to scan the other pets in the pet store. The game showed detailed information like evolution pathways of every single mutated pet. ¡°This¡­ Could this be a real pet raising game?¡± Fang Ziyu mumbled. He understood that this seemed to be a real pet raising game. ¡°Wait¡­ If this is a real game, then the Summoner mentioned in it is me?¡± Fang Ziyu swiped through the information. ¡°Ah, so the game thinks I¡¯m a weakling?¡± Fang Ziyu suddenly jumped up and even Yellow next to him was startled. ¡°I¡¯m a weakling? I¡¯m a weakling? How would I possibly be a weakling? This game must be fake. No, I must prove that this stupid game is fake¡­¡± Fang Ziyu shouted, unwilling to accept it. The word ¡°weakling¡± seemed to have deeply pierced his heart, so his focus seemed to have gone astray. At this moment, another notification popped up on the game interface. Game Reminder: The Order Spirits scanned by the player cannot be found in the database. Player is suggested to create Spirit Cards. Precious Handbook Points can be obtained by creating Spirit Cards. Handbook Points can be used directly in the evolution of Spirits and have incredible power. Seeing the game reminder, Fang Ziyu remembered that the Handbook Points shown in the game before could also be used in the evolution of Spirits. However, he thought that he could only purchase Handbook Points at that time, so he ignored it for a while. It was impossible for Fang Ziyu, who was known for never purchasing things in games, to pay. However, Fang Ziyu found that he didn¡¯t seem to need to purchase anything at this moment, so he started researching resolutely. And yet, the starting point of his research had already changed. He changed from thinking it was a bit of a fun game to having the urge to prove that this stupid game was fake. Fang Ziyu opened the page of ¡°Spirit Handbooks¡± and rows of displays appeared: Normal Spirit Handbook: None Rare Spirit Handbook: None Precious Spirit Handbook: None Epic Spirit Handbook: None Legendary Spirit Handbook: None Description: Read detailed introductions by holding the names of the handbooks. Description: The evolution potential of the spirits is not fixed. Please don¡¯t rely too much on this page. Fang Ziyu pressed ¡°Normal Spirit Handbook¡± and a detailed introduction appeared next. ¡°All spirits with a potential of Level 1 can create a Level 1 Spirit Card. Fang Ziyu pressed the names of the other handbooks one by one. He found that the handbooks were categorized into different levels according to the level of the mutated animals, namely the so-called Spirits, which were divided into groups according to the evolution potential. Those with an evolution potential of Level 2 and Level 3 were classified as Rare Spirits; Those with an evolution potential of Level 4 and Level 5 were Precious Spirits; Those with an evolution potential of Level 6 and Level 7 were Epic Spirits; And those with an evolution potential of Level 8, Level 9 and Level 10 were Legendary Spirits. Creating a handbook was also very simple. Players only needed to take a photo of the Spirit¡¯s face to scan its relevant information to get a Spirit Card. Players would receive different Handbook Points for every successful Spirit Card, and the amount of points depended on the rarity of the Spirit.. Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Game Reminder: Please take a photo of the Spirit¡¯s face. ¡°Ah, Yellow, stop turning your head, stop turning your head¡­¡± Fang Ziyu held the phone with one hand and held Yellow¡¯s head with the other, taking photos with the phone. This game required clear and beautiful full-face photos. Fang Ziyu failed both times he tried before. After much effort, Fang Ziyu finally took a clear full-face photo of Yellow. In the photo, Yellow stared ahead with its round, amber eyes, as if there was a box of dried fish. With the photo, Fang Ziyu quickly started to make a Spirit Card and a Spirit Card that belonged to Yellow was created very quickly. After he clicked on it, all of Yellow¡¯s information, including the location of discovery, was available. Game Reminder: Congratulations on getting a Rare Spirit Card. Game Reminder: You have obtained 30 Handbook Points. Fang Ziyu looked at the small number on the upper left corner of the phone and it indeed became 30. He had obtained 30 Handbook Points now, and Yellow¡¯s evolution also required 30 Handbook Points. In fact, Fang Ziyu could let Yellow evolve right now, but he didn¡¯t choose to do so. Fang Ziyu walked to the naughty parrot expressionlessly and said with a cold face, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± The parrot looked confused. It didn¡¯t do anything. However, while it was dumbfounded, Fang Ziyu had already made a Level 1 Gray Parrot Spirit Card and got ten Handbook Points. After that, Fang Ziyu made six more Spirit Cards one after another. All six Spirits had an evolution potential of Level 1, so Fang Ziyu only got 60 Handbook Points in total. Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t surprised by this. According to the classification of pets between Level 1 to Level 10, the number of Level 1 pets born during the rise of Spiritual Energy was the highest. The higher the level, the fewer there were. High-level pets with potential to advance to the next level were already extremely rare. Only Yellow and the mutated lizard in Fang Ziyu¡¯s store were one of them. Speaking of this lizard, Fang Ziyu had a bit of a headache. When this little guy mutated, it killed four of its kind, causing him to lose a few thousand yuan. The lizard Fang Ziyu was thinking about was a Green Water Dragon, a kind of small lizard. Its body was about 15cm long and its tail was 30cm long. It was light green all over and its back was light brown. Green Water Dragons were gentle and didn¡¯t bite people. Most of the lizards in Fang Ziyu¡¯s store were Green Water Dragons. They ate mealworms, tiny fishes, vegetables, and fruits. They were also very easy to raise. There were only three kinds of lizards in Fang Ziyu¡¯s store. Green Water Dragons could be raised together. In order to avoid the trouble of raising and cleaning, Fang Ziyu bought a large terrarium. There was a huge basin of water inside and he directly put the original five male Green Water Dragons together. And yet, when Fang Ziyu woke up in the morning to feed them a few days ago, he was heartbroken. He saw that four of the lizards in the huge terrarium had already frozen into statues. The entire terrarium was full of frost and ice. Even Fang Ziyu felt a bit cold standing next to it. The huge basin of water in the middle also froze into ice, like a small ice lake. On the small ice basin was a weird creature with a body length of 70cm. At first glance, it looked like a miniature version of a Western dragon. However, after observing it carefully, he could still see its original appearance of a Green Water Dragon. Its head still looked like that of a lizard. However, a pair of icy-blue wings grew on its back, and its four limbs became thicker. Its body length even exceeded the size of the original lizard. Fang Ziyu looked at this little guy who was covered in cold fog. Luckily, its personality didn¡¯t seem to have changed and it was still lying in the terrarium quietly for the time being. Although Fang Ziyu had scanned it for its information before, he did so again at this moment. Spirit Species: Mutated Young Frost Dragon (incomplete) Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 3 Properties: Nature/Element, Ice, Space Skills: Ice Breath (Description: Passive skill. When the Young Frost Dragon breathes, it will freeze the surrounding into an environment suitable for its survival). Suppression: It has a suppressive effect on ordinary Flying or Water Spirits. Evolution Potential: Level 5 Evolution Pathways: Level 5 Giant Frost Dragon, Level 5 Gem Dragon, Level 5 Sky Dragon He looked at this creature¡¯s information carefully again and decided to contract it. According to the information he read online these few days, this little guy was definitely a pet with great potential. To be able to evolve to level five, its potential was definitely not small. One must know that the Spirit of the guardian of Anh City right now was only a Level 5 existence. Fang Ziyu created a Spirit Card for this incomplete Young Frost Dragon. This was a top Precious Spirit Card and also Fang Ziyu¡¯s first one. Fang Ziyu got 50 Handbook Points after he created this Spirit Card. He had a total of 150 Handbook Points at this moment. Game Reminder: Player has not contracted any spirit. Player is suggested to contract the Precious Spirit, the mutated Young Frost Dragon. Reminder: The rarity of a complete Young Frost Dragon has the rarity of the Epic level. It is a high-level spirit that is difficult to encounter. ¡°The Epic level? Doesn¡¯t that mean it can evolve to Level 6 or 7?¡± Fang Ziyu¡¯s eyes brightened. As far as he knew, there weren¡¯t more than 100 people in the world who had Level 7 Spirits right now, but the Spirit in front of him was a powerful one with the hope of evolving to Level 7. Thinking of this, Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t wait to contract this Spirit. As for the authenticity of this game, did he still need to doubt it? As for the game calling him a weakling, Fang Ziyu decided to tolerate it for the time being. He thought in his mind that he would definitely get back its dignity. Anyway, it was impossible for him to let it go like this. He would definitely not yield to this stupid game. This was Fang Ziyu¡¯s last stubbornness. However, there was no hint in the game about how he could contract a Spirit. The only information released by the country was that he could only sign a contract after getting the approval of the Spirit. This short information stumped countless people. Some people treated their Spirits as their grandparents, but the Spirits might still not be willing to sign a contract with them. And yet, some people might have Spirits with pretty good potential running over to them and taking the initiative to sign a contract with them when they were walking on the road. After countless summaries, people came to a conclusion, which was that it was related to the potential of a person. The most direct manifestation of a person¡¯s potential was the level of Spiritual Power. Before a person became a Summoner, which was before they contracted the first pet, their Spiritual Power was fixed at around Level 1. If they wanted to continue increasing the level, they had to become a Summoner. Fang Ziyu saw that his total Spiritual Power in the game interface was 1.1. If the average Spiritual Power of ordinary people was 1, then 1.1 definitely would not make him a genius. It was definitely impossible for Spirits to take the initiative to enter a contract with him. After thinking for a while, Fang Ziyu took a small bowl of minced meat and went to the terrarium with a pleasant look, putting the food in. Perhaps because it hadn¡¯t evolved completely, the Young Frost Dragon¡¯s temperament was still as gentle as a Green Water Dragon. It lay on the ice basin and didn¡¯t fly around. It only stuck its head over to eat when Fang Ziyu put the food in. ¡°How about I call you Icy? You look so cool¡­¡± Fang Ziyu showed an innocent smile on his face like he was a weird man deceiving a little girl and said shamelessly as he looked at the Young Frost Dragon. Since these were pets that were prepared to be sold before, their names were usually given by the owner who bought them. However, since he decided to contract it at this moment, Fang Ziyu naturally had to give it a name. The mutated animals all had a certain level of intelligence. This Young Frost Dragon with a potential of Level 5 could understand what Fang Ziyu said. However, it seemed to have no intention of paying attention to Fang Ziyu and didn¡¯t react to his words at all, still eating its food leisurely. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± As expected, it also inherited the arrogant personality of Green Water Dragon.. Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Do you not like the name Han Bing? Then, how about I call you Bai Yu?¡± Fang Ziyu still looked at the Young Frost Dragon with a smile. He had already given it a dozen different names. However, the Young Frost Dragon ignored him completely and even turned its head to the other side arrogantly. Seeing that the Young Frost Dragon ignored him, Fang Ziyu wanted to reach out his hand to establish a contract, but before he touched it, he was greeted by an extremely cold breath. After trying a few more times, Fang Ziyu returned to the cashier with an expressionless face. He had a deep understanding of the arrogance of the Young Frost Dragon and he had already decided to give up this method. Fang Ziyu took out his phone and opened a forum about how to contract a pet. He started to browse the posts about contracting an arrogant pet. Soon, Fang Ziyu saw a post. Why Are You So Angry: You¡¯re hopeless. Get another pet. I tried to contract a black cat with wings for a week, but it ignored me except when I fed it dried fish. Poor dried fish. Picking Ganoderma in the Wild: My friend, the personality of a pet contributes too much to the success of the contract. Just like me, when I established a contract with a mutated Husky that was three meters tall, it was still eating dog food foolishly and didn¡¯t resist from the beginning to the end. Now, I¡¯m riding it and dominating the world¡­ Nine Star Poison Milk: Not necessarily. Like my pet, I influenced it for a month and finally succeeded in the end. My Name Is Jiang Zhou: Hey, I think you might be the reincarnation of Tang Seng. QAQ Secretly Visiting a Prostitute: Important news, everyone, please don¡¯t believe the cartoons where people beat the Spirits up to contract them. My friends next door were severely burnt after trying it. Han Run Run: Offer incense. I Bet Five Packs of Spicy Strips: cartoons are all lies. Someone in our community almost killed a mutated pet but still failed to contract it. Faithful, Friendly, and Patriotic: Thank you, seniors, for sacrificing yourselves. First bow. Gazing at the Sky: Second bow. Rest in peace, senior. ¡­ Shooter Protects Me with His Flesh: Oh my god, I heard that some Chaotic Monsters and Spirits in the ocean have already evolved to Level 9. Is this true? I¡¯m so scared¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Fang Ziyu closed the webpage. There wasn¡¯t any good solution on the forum at all. There were more complaints and useless comments instead. However, it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t get anything. Fang Ziyu was now very glad that he didn¡¯t beat the Young Frost Dragon to contract it before. Putting down the computer, Fang Ziyu picked up Yellow and played with it a few times as he muttered, ¡°Thinking about it, even if there¡¯s a way, I guess no one would be willing to tell other people about it for free. There¡¯s a high chance that I won¡¯t be able to find anything online. ¡°Then, what should I do¡­¡± Fang Ziyu continued petting Yellow in frustration. A pet with the potential of Level 7 might be the best one he could find right now. He really didn¡¯t want to give up. However, there was no information about how to contract a pet in this stupid game. After thinking for a while, Fang Ziyu turned on the computer again. This time, he wasn¡¯t going to look for a solution, but to look for successful cases of contracting a pet for research. Time flew and the sky had already darkened. Fang Ziyu¡¯s research also seemed to have some results. ¡°This should be fine¡­ Hm¡­ It should be fine.¡± Fang Ziyu mumbled and nodded firmly. After a while, Fang Ziyu brought the pets¡¯ dinner and fed two boxes of cat food to the two British Shorthairs, who kept looking at him with watery eyes and meowing, before closing the store. At this moment, all the pets in the store were having dinner quietly. Fang Ziyu took a look at them and went upstairs to watch TV, no different from usual. After watching an episode of Bonnie Bears, Fang Ziyu took out his phone to check the time, then rubbed his face and walked downstairs. ¡°Meow, meow.¡± After turning on the light, the two British Shorthairs in the cage meowed twice. Fang Ziyu ignored them and walked to the cages to check on the pets. ¡°Hey, Icy, are you asleep?¡± Fang Ziyu walked to the mutated Young Frost Dragon and said in shock. Fang Ziyu pretended to be worried and reached out to touch it. It still didn¡¯t move, as if it had fallen into slumber. Fang Ziyu blinked and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Then, he put his hand on the head of the Young Frost Dragon and kept saying in his mind, ¡°Establish a contract¡­¡± Soon, Fang Ziyu felt that the Spiritual Power that had been lying dormant in his body went through his finger and entered the body of the mutated Young Frost Dragon. This time, Fang Ziyu¡¯s Spiritual Power wasn¡¯t bounced back by the Young Frost Dragon, so it entered the core of the Young Frost Dragon very smoothly. After a few seconds, Fang Ziyu felt a kind of spiritual connection. At the same time, the Spiritual Power in his body became more active. He knew that the contract was successful. As for how he came up with this idea, Fang Ziyu had read many cases and found that the most important thing for the contract to be successful was that the pet couldn¡¯t resist. Then, Fang Ziyu thought, a pet wouldn¡¯t resist when someone contracted it if it approved of the person. So, would it also be considered not resisting if it lost its consciousness to resist? Fang Ziyu made the right bet. The sleeping pills could indeed cause a pet to fall into a deep sleep and lose its consciousness to resist. However, Fang Ziyu thought that this was only useful for pets at Level 1. This probably wouldn¡¯t work on pets that had evolved completely above Level 2. Fang Ziyu looked at the sleeping Young Frost Dragon. He could actually hide the fact that he tricked it with sleeping pills right now. After all, once the contract was successful, the Summoner and the pet would not be able to hurt each other. However, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t. He shook the Young Frost Dragon awake with all his might. Seeing that it opened its bleary eyes, he showed a despicable smile. ¡°You¡¯re awake, Little Icy. I have good news for you. I accidentally contacted you. We¡¯ll be partners from now on.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make you stronger quickly.¡± Fang Ziyu patted his chest and promised. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. I didn¡¯t even agree to establish a contract with a weakling like you. How can it possibly succeed?¡± When the Young Frost Dragon found that it was really contracted by a weakling like Fang Ziyu, and even under a situation where it didn¡¯t know about it, there was a look of disbelief on its face. At this moment, Fang Ziyu could already understand the thoughts of the Young Frost Dragon through telepathy. Hearing the word ¡°weakling,¡± Fang Ziyu¡¯s face turned sullen. He immediately showed an embarrassed look again. ¡°Ah, I seem to have added a bit of sleeping pills into your food accidentally. Then, I accidentally tried contracting with you and it suddenly succeeded. You won¡¯t blame me, will you?¡± At first, Fang Ziyu was a bit embarrassed. After all, the means he used weren¡¯t really just and honorable. But after hearing the word ¡°weakling,¡± his guilt instantly disappeared. I contracted it with my own ability. Why should I feel guilty? ¡°I¡¯ll bite you to death¡­ Roar¡­¡± The Young Frost Dragon flapped its wings and flew straight towards Fang Ziyu to bite him, as if it couldn¡¯t wait to bite him to death. ¡°Oh f*ck!¡± Seeing the Young Frost Dragon fly up, Fang Ziyu knew that he seemed to have said too much. He immediately ran upstairs without saying anything. He didn¡¯t want to bet if pets really couldn¡¯t attack their masters after establishing a contract. However, how would his speed be faster than that of the Young Frost Dragon? He had just run two steps when the Young Frost Dragon caught up and bit the back of his neck. ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± It was already too late for Fang Ziyu to beg for mercy. He could only cover his neck with his hands, hoping that the power of the contract wouldn¡¯t let it bite him to death. ¡°Hm, it doesn¡¯t seem to hurt. In fact, it¡¯s a bit comfortable¡­¡± Fang Ziyu waited for a long time, but no pain came. His arm was cold and very comfortable, like he was having a massage. Fang Ziyu turned around and saw that the Young Frost Dragon was biting his arm. However, there seemed to be a mysterious force that stopped it from hurting Fang Ziyu, so the strength of its bite was like a massage. Looking at the enraged Young Frost Dragon chewing on his arm, Fang Ziyu blinked and caressed its head gently¡­ Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Roar!¡± The Young Frost Dragon was still biting Fang Ziyu¡¯s arm and its claws were slapping his body randomly. Through telepathy, Fang Ziyu even knew that it was still saying ¡°I¡¯ll bite you to death.¡±. However, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t panic. As long as there was a basis for negotiation, he would have a way to convince this cute Young Frost Dragon. After all, what was done couldn¡¯t be undone. The contract couldn¡¯t be canceled unless one party died. Fang Ziyu let the Young Frost Dragon bite him and slap him. After the Young Frost Dragon calmed down a bit, he took out a huge pile of food again and apologized with full sincerity, expressing that he wanted to contract it too much and had no choice but to do this and was willing to accept his punishment. After that, he said a lot of flattering words again, praising it so much that its tail was high up in the sky, and then telling it that he could immediately make it a Level 2 Spirit as compensation, showing it how extraordinary he was. After all this, the Level 1 Young Frost Dragon was almost fooled by Fang Ziyu. Together with the effect of the contract, it instinctively got closer to Fang Ziyu. At this moment, as long as Fang Ziyu kept his promise, it basically wouldn¡¯t hate him anymore. It might even think that it should have contracted Fang Ziyu earlier. Fang Ziyu looked at the Young Frost Dragon that was already standing in front of him quietly. It had chubby claws and icy blue wings. Apart from its head that hadn¡¯t completely evolved, it looked really very cute. Especially with it around, Fang Ziyu could even save on the air conditioning bill. ¡°Ahem, Icy, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you evolve right away and show you my magical ability.¡± Fang Ziyu glanced at the Young Frost Dragon and promised. ¡°Hm, hurry up. If you dare to deceive me, I¡¯ll eat you.¡± The Young Frost Dragon raised its head and two plumes of cold air spouted out of its nose. Sensing the telepathic message from the Young Frost Dragon, Fang Ziyu nodded and took out his phone to open ¡°A Guide for Raising Order Spirits.¡± A few messages popped up as soon as he opened it: Game Reminder: You contracted a Level 1 Young Frost Dragon (incomplete). You have officially become a First-Origin-Stage Spirit Summoner. Game Reminder: You have become a Spirit Summoner. This game will be completely open for you. More functions will be waiting for you to discover. Game Reminder: Since you have contracted a Level 1 Young Frost Dragon (incomplete), you can choose one of its abilities to merge with your skill. Seeing the reminders, Fang Ziyu was already relieved. This meant that the game was really a real-life game. He didn¡¯t know who the creator of the game was, but that person was so impressive. At this moment, the game was completely open. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t discover any additional functions, but there was an additional LV1 on the upper right corner. After pressing on it, he knew that this was his level. It seemed that he could only obtain more related abilities by increasing the level. As choosing the ability of the Young Frost Dragon to merge with his own skill, he put it aside for now. After the rise of Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Power in the Summoners who contracted a pet would merge with the magic power of the pet, so humans could obtain a part of the pet¡¯s ability. At the moment, the abilities humans got were at most comparable to the abilities of the pets themselves, but this also greatly improved humans¡¯ ability to survive. Normally, this ability was random. It might be the strongest skill of the pet, or it might be a useless skill. And Fang Ziyu¡¯s game actually gave him the right to choose, which made him excited. However, no matter how excited he was, he still had to put this matter aside for the time being. Icy in front of Fang Ziyu was still looking at him with its big eyes wide open, waiting for him to help it advance to the next level. Fang Ziyu picked up his phone and scanned the Young Frost Dragon. Soon, its information page popped up. Spirit Species: Mutated Young Frost Dragon (incomplete) Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 3 Properties: Nature/Element, Ice, Space Skills: Ice Breath (Description: Passive skill. When the Young Frost Dragon breathes, it will freeze the surrounding into an environment suitable for its survival). Suppression: It has a suppressive effect on ordinary Flying or Water Spirits. Evolution Potential: Level 5 Evolution Pathways: Level 5 Giant Frost Dragon, Level 5 Gem Dragon, Level 5 Sky Dragon Fang Ziyu chose the evolution pathway of a Level 5 Giant Frost Dragon. Although there were two other evolution pathways, those two properties were secondary properties. Icys main property was still ice, and the best evolution pathway for it was the Giant Frost Dragon. Game Reminder: You chose the evolution pathway of a Level 5 Giant Frost Dragon. Materials Required for Level 2 Evolution: Level 2 Frost Grass, Core of a Level 3 Chaotic Monster, Ice Eel. Evolve with Handbook Points: 150 points Fang Ziyu clicked the icon to evolve with Handbook Points. Game Reminder: An incomplete Young Frost Dragon has been detected. Evolve into a Level 2 complete Young Frost Dragon? Fang Ziyu pondered and chose yes. Game Reminder: Evolution has begun. 150 Handbook Points deducted. ¡°Hey, 150 points are required to evolve to a complete Young Frost Dragon? Isn¡¯t it too much?¡± Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t help saying when he saw that all his Handbook Points were gone. However, the game ignored his complaint. The moment the Handbook Points were deducted, the Young Frost Dragon in front of him started to evolve. The Young Frost Dragon was trembling. Then, ice crystal-like blue scales appeared on its body. After that, its originally incomplete head and tail also became more like a dragon, and its body also kept getting bigger. Before long, a two-meter-tall and four-meter-long Giant Frost Dragon that looked like it walked out of an epic appeared in Fang Ziyu¡¯s living room, looking dignified and sacred. ¡°Awhooo!¡± The Young Frost Dragon cried, as if it was happy about its evolution. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± The baby-like dragon roar of yours is really¡­ Fang Ziyu shook his head. He couldn¡¯t find a word to describe it. At this moment, the Young Frost Dragon¡¯s body suddenly shrank to the size of a cat and it flew to the couch, lying down. It closed its eyes, glanced at Fang Ziyu and said through telepathy, ¡°I forgive you for what happened before. I want to sleep now. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡± Even though it felt how magical Fang Ziyu was, it still wanted to keep its final coldness. Hearing that, Fang Ziyu heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that what happened before was over and he had finally become a real partner with this little fat dragon. Game Reminder: Evolution completed. Your Young Frost Dragon has evolved to become a Level 2 complete Young Frost Dragon. Fang Ziyu glanced at the phone and then looked at the Young Frost Dragon that was already sleeping. After evolving to Level 2, it seemed to be able to control its abilities and didn¡¯t turn the surroundings into an icy environment anymore. Fang Ziyu raised his phone and scanned it for its information again. Spirit Species: Young Frost Dragon Gender: ¡á Level: Level 2 Magic Power: 10 Properties: Nature/Element, Ice, Space Skills: Ice Breath (Description: Passive skill. When the Young Frost Dragon breathes, it will freeze the surrounding into an environment suitable for its survival), Frost Freeze (Description: Active skill. Beginner-level of the Descent of Winter. Normal Spirits of the same level will be killed.) Suppression: It has a suppressive effect on ordinary Flying or Water Spirits. Evolution Potential: Level 7 Evolution Pathways: Level 7 Giant Frost Dragon. Fang Ziyu looked at the information. A Level 2 Young Frost Dragon had only one more attack skill, Frost Freeze. However, according to the description of the skill, it was almost invincible among its peers with this skill. He didn¡¯t waste his efforts to contract it after all. As for the ability to shrink its body, it didn¡¯t seem to be a skill. He glanced at his phone. It was already late. Thinking that he still had to go to Xin¡¯an Park with Xiao Bai tomorrow, he didn¡¯t continue to study the Order Spirit raising game. He returned to his room early and went to bed.. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The next morning, he got out of bed at six in the morning while yawning. If it weren¡¯t that he had plans today, he would usually wake up at eight and open the store at nine. The Young Frost Dragon in the living room that was still sleeping in the living room looked chubby because it had become smaller. It let out two streams of cold air from time to time, maintaining the temperature of the entire room at a cool temperature. On the other side of the couch, Yellow curled up into a ball of fur that heaved up and down, and was still sleeping. Fang Ziyu shook his head and forcibly got rid of the sleepiness. He felt that there seemed to be a slight increase in Spiritual Power in his body as he tidied up. The amount of Spiritual Power determined how many pets a person could contract and the number of pets the person could contract determined the limit of his strength. Due to the fact that the Spiritual Power in the human body couldn¡¯t be increased before they contracted pets, Fang Ziyu could only be considered to have truly walked on the path of a Pet Summoner at this moment. Besides, according to the classification of Summoners in human society right now, the level of a Summoner was the same as that of the pet they owned. Fang Ziyu was already a Level 2 Summoner now. At this moment, he could already choose to enter the less dangerous places around the city to find a way to increase his Spiritual Power or the level of his pet. There were only two ways. One was to look for mutated plants, and the other was to hunt Chaotic Monsters for their cores and corpses. Normally, Summoners who contracted pets would take this path. Although the rise of Spiritual Energy was a bit calmer now, new mutated plants and mutated animals would appear in the wilderness every day. Getting closer to the wilderness offered them the biggest opportunity. But it was also the most dangerous path. Fang Ziyu thought carefully about how he should proceed in the future last night. In the end, he decided to continue running a pet store, a special pet store that could help him and also contribute to mankind and society at the same time. It had only been two months since the rise of Spiritual Energy. Even though humans had gained a firm foothold, they were still trying to figure out how to evolve their pets. Evolving pets also depended on luck. There wasn¡¯t a complete set of methods for pets to evolve. However, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t need to worry about this problem. He only needed to scan the pets with his phone and would get all the information about the pets. The materials and environment needed for each evolution pathway were also clear at a glance. He could even use the Handbook Points to directly make pets evolve. Fang Ziyu prepared to run a pet store to sell some mutated pets while letting people consult him about the evolution of pets and other related questions. Letting people come to consult him, Fang Ziyu could earn a small amount of money and some precious materials while using the convenience of other people coming to his door to make Spirit Cards of pets he had never seen before. If Fang Ziyu wanted to get Handbook Points, he had to make new Spirit Cards that the library didn¡¯t have. If Fang Ziyu went to the wilderness to look for new pets and new Spirits one by one, he certainly wouldn¡¯t be as fast as other people coming to him. As for how he could explain the reason he knew the materials needed for the evolution of pets, Fang Ziyu could totally relate it to the rise of Spiritual Energy. After the rise of Spiritual Energy, apart from awakening the Spiritual Power, a small number of people also awakened all kinds of other abilities. For example, Xiao Bai could heal other people by giving them milk and Fang Ziyu had a weird ability to turn all of the active skills into passive skills. There were also all kinds of strange or useless abilities. These abilities couldn¡¯t be explained by modern science. Besides, what Fang Ziyu did was beneficial to everyone. It was beneficial for the development of society. He only had to pay a small price to get the method for evolving his pet. So, why not? Fang Ziyu was only collecting some pet information and pictures from them to make Spirit Cards to earn a bit of Handbook Points. Of course, if someone really wanted to do something to him, Fang Ziyu, who had the Spirit raising game, might give that person a huge surprise. After staring blankly for a while, Fang Ziyu nodded again and felt that his plan for the future was quite perfect. ¡°Hm, to celebrate me becoming a Summoner, I¡¯ve decided to get my first skill.¡± At the same time, it was to prepare for him going out today. Fang Ziyu took out his phone and opened the game, finding the page where he could choose the skill to merge with in his Personal Center. Game Reminder: Please choose the skill you want to merge with. Fang Ziyu chose the attack skill of the Young Frost Dragon, Frost Freeze. According to the description of the skill, it was obviously an advanced skill and would definitely become stronger in the future. Game Reminder: You have obtained a weakened version of the Frost Freeze skill. Game Reminder: Due to your passive Summoner skill, the weakened version of the Frost Freeze skill has been transformed into your passive skill. (Description: Passive skill, when you are attacked, the target will be frozen or slowed down.) ¡°Not bad, excellent escape skill.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded in satisfaction. Especially when he thought that more skills would be transformed into his passive skills in the future, Fang Ziyu was so excited that his entire body shook. That scene was truly too awesome. When some enemy put in so much effort to attack Fang Ziyu, a bunch of passive attacks were triggered and the enemy would be killed. Or when Fang Ziyu made a normal attack on an enemy, he would trigger the passive skills in him and kill the enemy. ¡­ How could the scene not be amazing? ¡°Fang Ziyu, why are you smiling like a fool? Hurry up and prepare breakfast. I¡¯m hungry.¡± Just as Fang Ziyu fell into some scenes and couldn¡¯t extricate himself, the telepathy voice of the Young Frost Dragon, Icy, sounded. Fang Ziyu collected himself and saw that the Young Frost Dragon was looking at him with a pair of big ice-blue eyes. He quickly stopped laughing foolishly. ¡°Icy, what do you like to eat now?¡± Fang Ziyu asked. He wanted to touch its ice-blue dragon horn, but failed. ¡°Awhoo~ Meat, I want meat.¡± Icy flew up and stared at Fang Ziyu. ¡°Don¡¯t touch the dragon horns of a dragon casually.¡± It was a bit of a pity that Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t touch the Young Frost Dragon. This little guy¡¯s cute face really made people want to touch it. After preparing food for Icy and Yellow, Fang Ziyu also fed the other pets breakfast. Fang Ziyu, on the other hand, ate breakfast at the restaurant next door. When he returned to the store, he looked at Icy, who was already preparing to sleep, and said, ¡°Do you want to go out with me for a walk?¡± ¡°Burp~¡± Icy looked at Fang Ziyu and burped. ¡°Alright, since you invited me sincerely, I¡¯ll go out for a walk.¡± Before leaving, Fang Ziyu logged into a local forum called ¡°Rise of Spiritual Energy¡± on the Internet and published the method of contracting a Level 1 pet with sleeping pills on it. At the same time, he advertised his Bizarre Pet Store. Even though someone might have discovered the method of contracting a pet with sleeping pills before Fang Ziyu did, as long as it wasn¡¯t published online, not many people would know about it. And once Fang Ziyu published it and the netizens proved that it worked, Fang Ziyu might become famous. This way, the credibility of the advertisement he made for his pet store would be higher, so people would come to his pet store to test if it was real or fake. Then, Fang Ziyu¡¯s goal would also be achieved. After that, Fang Ziyu called Icy and the two of them left the pet store. The muscular man, Xiao Bai, was already waiting for Fang Ziyu at the florist shop opposite. ¡°Hm, you contracted that mutated lizard? Why did it suddenly change?¡± Xiao Bai asked as his eyes brightened when he saw the Young Frost Dragon next to Fang Ziyu. ¡°Roar!¡± Before Fang Ziyu said anything, the Young Frost Dragon rushed forward and opened its mouth, freezing Xiao Bai¡¯s hair into ice crystals, which reflected colorful rays of light in the sun. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Fang Ziyu quickly stopped it. Luckily, he told the Young Frost Dragon not to hurt anyone before. It only froze Xiao Bai¡¯s hair and flew back furiously. ¡°Don¡¯t call it a lizard¡­¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Xiao Bai and said with a wry smile, then he told Xiao Bai about the situation of the Young Frost Dragon. ¡°Icy, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xiao Bai apologized with a smile. In order to express his sincerity, Xiao Bai decided to give Icy some milk. ¡°Roar!¡± Then, Icy, which was originally flying in the sky, suddenly fell down with a thud. After Fang Ziyu caught it, its body was still trembling. ¡°Awhoo! Awhoo! That feels so good! Keep giving me milk. Keep giving me milk¡­!¡± The dragon was so comfortable that it couldn¡¯t even flap its wings¡­ Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xiao Bai¡¯s healing ability, which others avoided at all costs, was approved by the Young Frost Dragon. The man and the dragon soon became good friends. ¡°Awhoo!¡± ¡°Fang Ziyu, what did Icy say?¡± Xiao Bai asked. ¡°It said that you could rely on it to find a contract pet.¡± Fang Ziyu rolled his eyes. He had a feeling of being betrayed. He had never thought that Xiao Bai¡¯s weird healing ability would be appreciated by Icy. ¡°Haha, thank you, Icy. I¡¯ll treat you for free when you come to me in the future.¡± Xiao Bai waved at Icy as he drove. ¡­ Since there weren¡¯t many animals in the city, the mutated ones were even fewer. The dangerous ones were even caught, so there weren¡¯t any wild mutated animals along the way. However, when they saw other people, most of them had all kinds of pets with them. There was a four-meter-tall Husky, a cat with two heads in someone¡¯s arms, and other mutated pets that evolved from cats and dogs. Occasionally, they could see some unique pets. For example, Fang Ziyu saw a woman riding a white horse with wings. Most of the pets in the city were cats and dogs. A lot of the mutated pets still had the characteristics of the original animals, but these pets now had all kinds of abilities. Since pets couldn¡¯t release their abilities in the city at will, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t see them use their skills. In Fang Ziyu¡¯s eyes, these different pets were all dazzling Handbook Points. Unfortunately, it was too weird for him to run to take a picture of other people¡¯s pets for no reason. Xin¡¯an Park was close to the suburbs. Xiao Bai drove and the two of them soon arrived. ¡°Is this really Xin¡¯an Park?¡± Fang Ziyu got out of the car and asked as he looked in the direction of the park. Even though he had seen the changes in this world online, he was still shocked when he was actually there. ¡°Right, this is Xin¡¯an Park, but it¡¯s a bit different after the rise of Spiritual Energy.¡± Xiao Bai parked the car and walked over as he looked at the park in the distance. This was originally a park that had been built for just a few years. The trees planted inside were also trees that were more than ten centimeters wide and ten meters tall. However, what Fang Ziyu saw at this moment was a huge, towering tree that was as tall as twenty to thirty meters. The treetops of these trees crowded around each other, looking like there was a huge banyan tree from afar. ¡°That¡¯s already better. It has already been trimmed once before. I heard that there was a barbaric growth in the beginning.¡± Xiao Bai said, ¡°There are many Level 1 Spirits inside. We can go in and try our luck.¡± ¡°Awhoo!¡± At this moment, Icy shouted. Fang Ziyu was first startled when he turned around, then waved his hand to tell Icy not to attack. It was a two-meter-tall Husky, running towards Fang Ziyu passionately and excitedly. ¡°Woof! Woof!¡± Fang Ziyu just told Icy not to be impulsive when this Husky barked. It barked loudly at Icy, looking extremely intimidating, as if it was saying, ¡°How dare a little creature like you stand in my way?¡± ¡°Awhoo!¡± How would Icy be able to tolerate the provocation of a Level 1 husky? She immediately breathed out an Ice Breath that was more than one meter long. Feeling the strong Ice Breath, the Husky jumped three steps back in shock and was dumbfounded as it looked at the ice pillar on the ground. How could such a little fellow make such a powerful attack? This didn¡¯t make sense! ¡°Boohoo!¡± Seeing that Icy was about to launch a second attack, the dog lay on the ground without hesitation, showing his white belly and crying to Icy. It was immediately scared. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Xiao Bai: ¡°¡­¡± This was very much like a Husky. It never lost an argument but never won a fight either. The Husky was scared of Icy, so it wasn¡¯t interested in attacking it anymore. Fang Ziyu glanced at the Husky as he came over and caressed its big head, then said, ¡°Stay here obediently, do you hear me? Otherwise, Icy will deal with you.¡± The mutated Husky could roughly understand what Fang Ziyu meant. It glanced at Icy and nodded constantly, then sat there like a dog. ¡°Looks like we¡¯ll have to wait for a while.¡± Xiao Bai glanced at the Husky and said helplessly. Fang Ziyu spread his hands to show that they had no other choice. A Husky was a magical existence that ran off easily. Its owner must be looking everywhere at this moment. While waiting, Fang Ziyu took the opportunity when Xiao Bai and Icy were playing to make a Spirit Card for the Husky. The evolution potential of Husky was at Level 1, so he could only make a Normal Spirit Card and get only ten points. Fang Ziyu was a bit happy after getting the ten Handbook Points. He thought that he would treat it as a pet-sitting fee. ¡°Beans!¡± After about ten minutes, a young woman came over. She was relieved when she saw the Husky sitting there obediently. The dog seemed to remember its owner at this moment. It looked at the woman and wagged its tail happily. The woman glared at it fiercely and walked in front of Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai. She said with a smile, ¡°Thank you for watching Beans for me for so long. I¡¯m really grateful.¡± The scene here was clear at a glance. Apparently, she was talking about the Husky that Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai helped to watch over. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s normal for a Husky to run off. Take it back with you quickly.¡± Xiao Bai smiled and said. The woman took out a leash and tied it around the Husky, then looked at Xiao Bai and said, ¡°I¡¯m Liu Runyan. Thank you so much. If it weren¡¯t for you, Beans might have gone somewhere else. ¡°Are you going to Xin¡¯an Park? I can show you the way. I just came out of there and I¡¯m quite familiar with the situation inside.¡± Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai rejected the woman¡¯s request and said that it was just a small matter. However, Liu Runyan insisted on leading the way for them to express her gratitude. Feeling helpless, the two of them couldn¡¯t reject Liu Runyan¡¯s kindness anymore. Besides, they could indeed save a lot of effort with the help of someone familiar. The three of them, the dog and the dragon walked into Xin¡¯an Park, which was like a primeval forest. ¡°This little dragon is so cute. Can I touch it?¡± Liu Runyan looked at Icy and said. Icy¡¯s cute face seemed to melt her heart. Besides, she also knew that this little dragon scared the two-meter-tall Beans, which made her a bit curious. Icy was very cold and it ignored Liu Runyan. It flew high and looked around curiously. Entering the park was truly like entering a primeval forest. The sun couldn¡¯t be seen at all, just like deep in the mountains. The main reason why Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai came here was to find a pet that was suitable for Xiao Bai. At the same time, they wanted to see if there was any possibility of finding a mutated plant. However, judging from the situation here, there should be no hope for mutated plants. According to Liu Runyan, this place had been visited by people these few days, but there were still many pets. Many mutated cats, dogs, and birds gathered in the forest nearby. The two of them encountered a few batches of mutated pets under Liu Runyan¡¯s lead, but their quality was too average. Even though the quality was average, Fang Ziyu could still make Spirit Cards to get Handbook Points. However, because there were two people around him, Fang Ziyu could only give up with heartache. Icy caught two birds that seemed to have the potential to evolve, but both of them had attacking abilities, which didn¡¯t meet Xiao Bai¡¯s requirements. He hoped to find a pet with healing abilities and a bit more potential. Since they didn¡¯t find a suitable pet, the three of them could only continue to look around. Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai looked at the rare scenery of the primeval forest around them without paying attention, as if they didn¡¯t notice that Liu Runyan brought them to an empty corner. When Liu Runyan looked around and was about to turn around, Fang Ziyu¡¯s voice suddenly came. ¡°Miss Liu, did you bring us here with so much effort to harass us? Or are you planning to get rid of us to inherit our properties?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Liu Runyan, looking like he had victory in hand and was watching her perform. In fact, he didn¡¯t know that there was something wrong with Liu Runyan either. He only knew about it when Icy said through telepathy that there was something wrong here just then. However, he didn¡¯t panic. The Level 2 Icy was almost invincible among pets of the same level. He wouldn¡¯t be unlucky enough to encounter a Level 3 pet the moment he came out, would he? Xiao Bai, on the side, looked confused. He had no idea how things suddenly turned out like this. Liu Runyan¡¯s body suddenly froze and she looked at Fang Ziyu in slight disbelief. ¡°How did you find out¡­¡± She thought her acting skills were still very good. However, she immediately shook her head indifferently and showed a creepy smile at the corners of her mouth. ¡°But it¡¯s already too late even if you¡¯ve found out¡­¡± At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from above, as if something was climbing down from the treetop. ¡°F*ck! Xiao Bai, call the police!¡± After seeing those things that climbed down, Fang Ziyu, who was still very arrogant just then, immediately grabbed Xiao Bai, who was still in a daze, and turned around to run. Hi, everyone. My name is Fang Ziyu. Yesterday, I got a Level 2 pet that is invincible among the other pets of the same level. I became arrogant. Today, I went to the park with my friend to catch pets, but we were taken to a corner by an evil woman with a Husky. I saw through her conspiracy. I was very calm, thinking that victory was in my hands. However, when I saw those monsters, I was terrified. I was so panicked. We were surrounded.. Why wasn¡¯t the police here yet? Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°F*ck, what exactly are those, Fang Ziyu?¡± Xiao Bai looked at the things that climbed down from the treetop[ and couldn¡¯t help asking. In fact, he was a bit confused. What climbed down from the treetop were just snails that had mutated to the size of a washing machine. Why was Fang Ziyu so terrified? ¡°Protect yourself. Don¡¯t get attacked.¡± Fang Ziyu said quickly, without explaining why he was so afraid. ¡°Icy, exert yourself and attack. Make a gap and we¡¯ll run. Remember, don¡¯t be hit.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at the twenty to thirty giant snails that climbed down from the surrounding trees and reminded Icy. He didn¡¯t understand why there were such things here, and they even avoided the eyes and ears of the police. If he had known that there were things like these, he wouldn¡¯t have come here even if he was beaten to death. ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy also realized the danger instantly and its body enlarged to the form of a two-meter tall Giant Frost Dragon, activating the Frost Freeze skill without hesitation. A mouthful of icy-blue energy was shot out and instantly froze the six snails and the trees in front of it into ice crystals. And these snails didn¡¯t seem to resist from the beginning to the end. ¡°Quick, run.¡± Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t care about anything else. Seeing that there was a gap, he immediately grabbed Xiao Bai and Icy and prepared to run. He was certain that these things weren¡¯t something he could deal with. ¡°Hm, it¡¯s indeed a complete Young Frost Dragon. It¡¯s worth messing up the plan for it.¡± Liu Runyan, who was standing on the side, looked at Icy in the air and licked her lips, showing an excited smile. Clap, clap, clap! Looking at Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai, who were running outside, she clapped her hands gently and said with a smile, ¡°Run? it seems impossible.¡± In the next second, Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai froze on the spot with unprecedented seriousness on their faces. ¡°How long will it take for the police to arrive?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. According to what you said, they should be rushing here quickly.¡± Fang Ziyu took a deep breath. He had never thought that he would encounter such an unfortunate incident. At this moment, they were surrounded by all kinds of pets. The only similarity was that there were two squirming antennae on the heads of these pets. Fang Ziyu originally thought only those snails were being manipulated, but unexpectedly, all the mutated animals in this park were being manipulated. ¡°Double Sucker Worms, am I right?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Liu Runyan. ¡°Are you a human or a puppet manipulated by the Double Sucker Worms?¡± The Double Sucker Worm was a kind of strange, cruel parasite. It was a type of snail parasite. After parasitizing a snail, they could control the brain of the snail and form two constantly moving mimicry organs that looked like caterpillars at the eye sockets of the snail. Then, they controlled the snails and exposed them to the birds, attracting the birds to catch them with their wiggling mimicry organs. After the birds ate the parasitized snails, these Double Sucker Worms would then reproduce in the birds¡¯ bodies and eat the internal organs of the birds. They were finally excreted through the birds¡¯ feces, then entered the snails again, repeating the cycle. However, after the rise of Spiritual Energy, when all the creatures around the world mutated, the Double Sucker Worms also completed the mutation quietly. Fang Ziyu had once seen a set of pictures. A certain terrifying, high-level Chaotic Monster that could destroy a tall building with one blow had a body full of Double Sucker Worms. It was eventually killed by thousands of them. At that time, Fang Ziyu understood one thing. During the evolution of biological mutations, insects that occupied 50% of the animal population with all kinds of strange abilities might be the biggest enemies of humans in this mutation, enemies even more terrifying than those Chaotic Monsters. This was also the reason why Fang Ziyu refused to go to the wilderness before he was confident enough with his strength. ¡°You¡¯re quite knowledgeable. You even know about the Double Sucker Worms.¡± Liu Runyan smiled gently. ¡°But you won¡¯t have a chance. Rest in peace. I¡¯ll treasure this Young Frost Dragon.¡± Liu Runyan didn¡¯t give Fang Ziyu a chance to buy time. She waved her hand and those originally stationary snails suddenly started to tremble. Along with some poofing sounds, densely-packed bugs broke out of the snails¡¯ bodies and rushed straight at Fang Ziyu, Xiao Bai and the dragon. Not only that, in order to prevent the Young Frost Dragon from slipping away in the sky, the bodies of many birds on the trees also cracked open and a huge number of Double Sucker Worms flew down. This seemed to be a hopeless situation. This scene made Fang Ziyu¡¯s head go numb and Xiao Bai was even stunned. He had never seen such terrifying things before. This was simply too frightening. ¡°Icy, attack the bugs in the sky. Find a chance to grab us and fly into the sky.¡± Fang Ziyu shouted. This was the only possible direction to escape. ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy exerted its strength to shoot out two mouthfuls of frost. Even the Double Sucker Worms couldn¡¯t resist this invincible Level 2 skill. They were instantly frozen to death and fell. However, the situation didn¡¯t slow down. More bugs flew over and they were densely packed. Icy couldn¡¯t attack all of them at all. It grabbed Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai with its claws and flew into the sky with all its might, using the Frost Freeze skill at the same time without caring about the consumption of energy. However, this was futile. More and more bugs flew over and were about to drown them. ¡°I¡¯ll heal you with milk. I¡¯ll heal you with milk. I¡¯ll heal you with milk!!!¡± When Fang Ziyu was in despair, Xiao Bai suddenly roared and streaks of milky-white energy shot out in all directions like flowers scattered by a goddess. In an instant, the energy enveloped all the bugs and pets that were manipulated around Fang Ziyu. The next moment, these bugs and pets that got Xiao Bai¡¯s milk became even more energetic. However, they didn¡¯t fly faster. Instead, their bodies softened and they fell straight down like dumplings. Fang Ziyu watched this scene dumbfoundedly and he quickly shouted, ¡°Fly, fly, fly. Fly quickly, fly quickly! Icy, fly quickly!¡± Icy couldn¡¯t help but widen its eyes when it saw this situation. After hearing what Fang Ziyu said, it quickly flapped its wings and escaped with all its might. ¡°This is impossible!¡± Liu Runyan looked at this scene in disbelief and her eyeballs almost popped out. Her meticulously designed trap that could definitely kill someone was broken by an ordinary person without a contract pet. ¡°Go, go, go!¡± Liu Runyan shouted furiously. She couldn¡¯t bear this failure. The next second, even more bugs rushed over. ¡°I¡¯ll heal you with milk, I¡¯ll heal you with milk¡­ I¡¯ll heal you with milk¡­¡± The big man, Xiao Bai, who was held in Icy¡¯s hands, shot out the milky-white energy like crazy. The bugs being hit by his milk indeed became more energetic, and then their bodies softened at the same time. Although they didn¡¯t fall straight to the ground like before this time, their speed dropped a lot. ¡°That¡¯s indeed poisonous milk.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Xiao Bai, who was shooting out energy at the bugs crazily. With Xiao Bai¡¯s poisonous milk and Icy¡¯s mouthful of frost from time to time, the three of them and the dragon quickly rushed out of the siege and flew towards the direction where the sirens came from. When Fang Ziyu, Xiao Bai, and the dragon thought they were about to escape, a wave of extreme sleepiness suddenly came. ¡°Oh no¡­¡± Fang Ziyu cried out in shock. He knew that this was definitely done by the queen hiding in the dark. This was an ability only a Level 3 queen bug had. It could force people to fall asleep. Fang Ziyu had never thought that there would be a Level 3 queen hidden in this group of Level 1 Double Sucker Worms. In fact, it was useless to know that. This was a mental attack. Fang Ziyu and the others had no ability to resist at all. God, my life is so miserable. The only time I come out in two months, I have to die. No, I don¡¯t want to die! Before Fang Ziyu fell asleep, he shouted furiously in his mind. After about a second. And then another second. ¡°Hm? Why am I not asleep yet?¡± Fang Ziyu was a bit confused. He immediately understood that this was because his passive skill was triggered by the queen. The queen must have been hit by his passive skill. And the queen, which was good at mental attacks, must be as afraid of elemental attacks as these Double Sucker Worms were. Passive Skill, Weakened Frost Freeze: When you¡¯re under attack, the attacker will be slowed down and frozen. Forced sleep was essentially a mental attack. It might be frozen. Fang Ziyu bit Icy¡¯s dragon claw without hesitation. ¡°Run!¡± Fang Ziyu shouted. ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy, who was originally a bit dizzy and couldn¡¯t flap its wings, roared at the sky and flew out of the park quickly. Behind them was a bunch of falling bugs. These bugs couldn¡¯t fly. They only flew so high with the impact.. Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After getting rid of the Double Sucker Worms, Icy flew towards the police with Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai in its hands. ¡°I swear I¡¯ll never come out casually again.¡± Xiao Bai glanced at the park behind and said with lingering fear. ¡°Look, the guardian¡¯s pet, the Firebird, is flying over.¡± Fang Ziyu was about to say something when he saw a fiery red figure that looked like a phoenix flying over from afar. That was the pet of the guardian of Anh City, a Level 5 Firebird. ¡°Icy, let¡¯s go down.¡± Fang Ziyu said and his attention was attracted by the Firebird again. This Firebird was more than ten meters long. It had a beautiful body shape and colorful feathers. The only flaw was that its head was still the head of a hen, which seemed a bit abrupt. However, this was also a common situation. Even Level 5 pets like the Firebird hadn¡¯t completely evolved. There were really too few pets like Icy who had completely evolved, so Liu Runyan even changed her original plan after seeing it. Seeing Icy, the Firebird turned its head and glanced at it curiously, then immediately flew over and stopped above Xin¡¯an Park, watching every movement below. Seeing this Level 5 Firebird stop here, Fang Ziyu was relieved in his mind and thought that nothing would happen again this time. ¡°Please stop for inspection,¡± an officer said as he looked at the two people and the dragon in the sky. ¡°We called the police. There are Double Sucker Worms in this park.¡± Fang Ziyu said. After Icy put them down, it also shrank to the size of a cat and stayed on Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Please let us go through the security check first,¡± the officer said. Then, a male officer came over with a colorful butterfly the size of a washbasin. This colorful butterfly stopped in front of Fang Ziyu and its eyes suddenly glittered with seven-colored light as it looked at Fang Ziyu, Xiao Bai and the dragon. Then, it flew to its master a bit tiredly. ¡°Captain, they¡¯re clear.¡± The male police officer walked to his captain and replied, ¡°But the level of the Eye Butterfly is a bit low. It¡¯s already exhausted after using its skills continuously.¡± ¡°Alright, let the Eye Butterfly rest first. Stop checking for now.¡± The captain, who looked a bit older, nodded and said. ¡°Hi, my surname is Feng. You can call me Officer Feng. Please tell me the details of the situation.¡± Officer Feng looked at Fang Ziyu and said. Fang Ziyu nodded and came over to tell him what happened obediently. Officer Feng, who heard the whole story, heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Luckily, the level of these Double Sucker Worms isn¡¯t high. It¡¯ll be troublesome if they evolve to Level 5.¡± ¡°Officer Feng, what exactly is going on with these insects? Logically speaking, they shouldn¡¯t be here, right?¡± Fang Ziyu asked. Logically speaking, there shouldn¡¯t be such insects here. The habitat of the Double Sucker Worms wasn¡¯t here. ¡°They certainly came here through humans or pets. These things evolve by devouring the Spiritual Power in the human body and the cores in pets.¡± Officer Feng thought for a while and said. ¡°A forceful hypnosis ability will be awakened when the Double Sucker Worms reach Level 3 and they will have the ability to create illusions at Level 4. At Level 5, they can even manipulate people directly. However, according to your description, this Queen Double Sucker Worm should be at Level 3. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡± He then glanced at Icy on Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder and said with a pleasant look, ¡°Thanks to you and your pet dragon. You¡¯ve done a great job. I¡¯ll report it to the higher-ups truthfully later.¡± If Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t call the cops in time and let these Double Sucker Worms grow to Level 5, they would really be in huge trouble. ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy cried weakly. It raised its head and rolled its eyes, as if it wasn¡¯t happy about being called a pet dragon. However, it didn¡¯t have much strength at this moment because it had used Frost Freeze several times before. Even though the police had basically understood the situation, Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai still had to wait to go back to the police station to give their statements. The two of them could only stand on the side and wait for things to be dealt with. With the Level 5 pet, the Firebird, guarding this place, these Double Sucker Worms couldn¡¯t do anything at all. Those who wanted to rush out and escape were all roasted and eaten as snacks. The police, on the other hand, were busy evacuating the crowd and checking the physical condition of the people who came out of the park, as well as whether the Double Sucker Worms had become a parasite in them and slipped out secretly. After resting, Xiao Bai ran to help the Eye Butterfly, which was exhausted because of overuse of skills. The Eye Butterfly¡¯s wings that got his milk trembled and it almost couldn¡¯t fly, but its physical strength was still restored very well. Icy, who was extremely tired, also flew over to ask for milk. Some other injured people and animals were also treated by Xiao Bai. Seeing that his ability was finally being put to use, Xiao Bai was as happy as a 200kg child. Fang Ziyu took out his phone. Ever since Liu Runyan exposed herself just then, his phone had been vibrating constantly. At this moment, a game notification popped up the moment he turned it on. Game Reminder: A special, Chaotic Monster, the Queen Double Sucker Worm, has been found. The level of danger is high. Game Mission: Kill the Level 3 Queen Double Sucker Worm. After completing the mission, the game¡¯s detection function will be upgraded. Game Reminder: After the detection function is upgraded, players only need to touch the Spirit or the Chaotic Monster to be scanned to get its detailed information. ¡°Upgrading the detection function?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at his phone. This was the first game mission issued by the game, but the difficulty was extraordinarily high. A Level 3 Chaotic Monster wasn¡¯t something he could deal with at all, let alone a Queen Double Sucker Worm that could make mental attacks. If the Queen Double Sucker Worm only attacked the Level 2 Icy, it would not be able to withstand its forced sleep skill at all. Without Icy, even if Fang Ziyu¡¯s passive skills could restrain the Queen Double Sucker Worm, he would not be able to deal with those overwhelming Level 1 Double Sucker Worms either. Besides, with that Level 5 Firebird here, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t think he had a chance. However, the reward of the upgrade of the detection function was too attractive to Fang Ziyu. with this ability, it would be even more convenient for him to help other people¡¯s pets evolve. He wouldn¡¯t have to scan the pets with his phone. He only needed to touch the pets to see the materials needed for their evolution. This made it easier for people to think that this was really his own ability. After thinking about it, he could only improvise. He couldn¡¯t possibly risk his life for a game reward. Fang Ziyu put away the phone and walked towards Xiao Bai. At this moment, the crowd in the park had already been evacuated and the police were preparing to deal with the Double Sucker Worms inside. ¡°Fang Ziyu, do you want me to give you some milk to restore your strength?¡± Seeing Fang Ziyu, Xiao Bai walked over and said with a smile. Fang Ziyu rolled his eyes and ignored him. This guy really didn¡¯t know anything. The girls next to him, who still didn¡¯t want to leave because of his milk, were still sitting there with flushed faces. And yet, Fang Ziyu still wouldn¡¯t let him give him milk even if he had to die outside. ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy shouted as it looked far away. Fang Ziyu also looked in the direction of the park without blinking. He saw the Level 5 Firebird cry and a long flame spouted out of its mouth as it rushed towards the park. All of a sudden, a kind of flameless white fire started to burn from the outside into the park. In an instant, all the trees at the outermost area were burnt into black trees. Even though there was no flame, there was a wave of scorching heat that came straight at Fang Ziyu. He could feel the heat even though he was 100 meters away. However, another wave of cold air immediately cooled Fang Ziyu down. ¡°Awhoo! If I¡¯m a Level 5 dragon, I can turn the entire forest into ice with one move!¡± Icy screamed at the sky as it looked at the Firebird in the air with its ice-blue dragon eyes and snorted coldly. It was very displeased as Fang Ziyu looked at the Firebird with shock and envy.. Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Awhoo!¡± Seeing that Fang Ziyu was still looking at that Firebird, the Young Frost Dragon, Icy, flew over with its wings flapping furiously and sat on Fang Ziyu¡¯s head, reaching out its claw to give Fang Ziyu a slap on his head. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± The young lady next to him couldn¡¯t help covering her mouth and laughing when she saw this scene. Fang Ziyu carried Icy down expressionlessly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mess around. Keep an eye on the bugs and see if any of them fly out. Those Double Sucker Worms have a Level 3 queen bug.¡± ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy was still a bit skeptical, but it decided to believe Fang Ziyu when it saw his serious look and heard that there was a Level 3 queen bug. It flew to Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder and stood there, also staring at the constantly burning park without blinking. The flame of a Level 5 Firebird was too terrifying. In the blink of an eye, the entire park turned into a black, burnt forest. As the forest was completely burnt, Fang Ziyu and the police around the blockade stared at the park nervously, ready to deal with the Double Sucker Worms that would rush out at any time. However, nothing unusual happened after waiting for half an hour. Fang Ziyu felt a bit sad. It seemed that the Queen Double Sucker Worm was dead. But thinking about it, it was indeed true that the Double Sucker Worms wouldn¡¯t be able to survive under the Level 5 flames. After that, the police searched the park and also confirmed the death of the Double Sucker Worms. Fang Ziyu was about to follow the police to the police station with a slightly sorrowful mood to give a statement. At this moment, Fang Ziyu¡¯s passive skill, the weakened version of Frost Freeze, suddenly activated. Passive skill, Frost Freeze: Triggered when you are under attack. The attacker will be frozen or slowed down. As Frost Freeze was activated, Fang Ziyu suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if his entire head was about to explode. ¡°Oh f*ck!¡± After the pain passed, Fang Ziyu suddenly realized that the environment around him had changed. It wasn¡¯t like it was just now at all. In the distance, Liu Runyan was running towards him on a giant Husky. A ten-centimeter-long, blood-colored bug broke out of her chest and rushed straight at Fang Ziyu. However, when it was about to fly in front of Fang Ziyu, it suddenly became a piece of transparent ice crystal. This was the effect of Fang Ziyu¡¯s passive skill, the weakened version of Frost Freeze. When the park was completely burnt, this Double Sucker Worm didn¡¯t die. Instead, it swallowed all the other Double Sucker Worms and evolved to Level 4 at the critical moment, initiating the illusion skill. This directly caused everyone around the park to fall into an illusion, including the Level 5 Firebird in the sky. Chaotic Monsters didn¡¯t evolve like pets. They could evolve by devouring each other. Even though the Firebird was at Level 5, it wasn¡¯t immune to mental abilities, especially when the owner of the Firebird wasn¡¯t here yet. After making everyone fall into the illusion, the Queen Double Sucker Worm broke out of Liu Runyan¡¯s body without hesitation and rushed straight at Fang Ziyu, wanting to parasitize the Young Frost Dragon and escape. Fang Ziyu¡¯s weakened version of Frost Freeze had hit it. Even though it didn¡¯t know who initiated this skill, it thought that it would be fine as he was trapped in the Level 4 illusion created by itself. However, what it had never thought was that Fang Ziyu¡¯s skill was a passive skill. It would be triggered as long as he was under attack and he didn¡¯t have to initiate it. Besides, it used the illusion ability on too many people at once, which consumed too much of its energy. It was directly frozen by Fang Ziyu¡¯s passive attack. Besides, Fang Ziyu¡¯s passive skill happened to be an elemental attack, while the Queen Double Sucker Worm was best at parasitizing and manipulation. When it left the host body, it would be doomed just like that. ¡°Quick, Icy, give it another mouthful of frost!¡± Fang Ziyu patted Icy¡¯s head as he shouted when he saw the blood-colored Dual Suckers Worm shaking in the ice. After the queen bug was frozen, its skill was already broken. Icy came back to its senses and shot out frost without hesitation. Instantly, the queen bug stopped moving. It was dead. Without a host to live on and with its illusion ability broken, it was too weak and its evil life ended just like that. Game Reminder: You killed the Queen Double Sucker Worm. You completed the game mission. Delivering the reward. Fang Ziyu, who was worried, was completely relieved when he took out his phone and saw this game notification. At this moment, a clear and furious cry of a bird sounded. It turned out that the Level 5 Firebird in the sky was enraged because it found that it was deceived by a Level 4 insect.. ¡°Awhoo!¡± Icy flew up and transformed into a complete form of a Giant Frost Dragon immediately, standing in front of the Firebird and raising its head arrogantly, not allowing the Firebird to come close. It was very happy. It killed this Double Sucker Worm and it was its trophy. ¡°Awhoo, awhoo! This is my prey. You stupid bird, don¡¯t go near it.¡± Icy shouted at the Firebird in the sky. ¡°Chirp, chirp, chirp¡­ Without me, you dumb lizard would still be chased!¡± The Firebird looked at Icy and yelled indignantly. ¡°Awhoo! I killed it. If it weren¡¯t for me, it would have run away a long time ago.¡± Icy clung to this point and wouldn¡¯t let go. If it weren¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t beat this bird, she would have already rushed up and fought it. ¡°Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp¡­¡± The Firebird spouted out a small flame in anger. Of course, it could beat Icy, but it was a moral bird. Bullying a Level 2 small dragon would really lose its morality. Humans couldn¡¯t understand the conversation between the bird and the dragon, but people who had contracted pets could indirectly understand it through telepathy. ¡°Boohoo!¡± While the dragon and the bird were quarreling, Liu Runyan¡¯s Husky, who was far away, ran to Liu Runyan and cried in front of her despite the police stopping it. The reason why the Husky and Liu Runyan were able to escape was because of the power of a Level 4 queen bug. However, Liu Runyan couldn¡¯t possibly survive after the queen bug broke out of her heart. Even Hua Tuo wouldn¡¯t be able to save her if he was alive. Beans didn¡¯t understand this, so it kept touching her with its head, hoping that she could get up and play with it. However, the poop-picker had been sleeping on the ground and ignoring it. The Husky whined softly and started threatening its owner that it would tear down the house. Poop-picker, get up and play with me. I won¡¯t tear down the house in the future. I really won¡¯t. Boohoo¡­ Get up and play with me. I won¡¯t flip the dog bowl when I eat in the future and I won¡¯t bite your slippers and blanket, alright? Boohoo¡­ If you still don¡¯t get up and play with me, I¡¯ll go fight with other dogs. The Husky shook Liu Runyan with its paw and pretended to run outside to find another dog to fight. However, its owner didn¡¯t respond to any of this. Didn¡¯t it know she was dead? No, it just didn¡¯t want to believe that she was really dead! She had done a lot of bad and evil things, but these didn¡¯t matter to her dog. What was important was that her master could play with it and stay by its side. ¡°Boohoo¡­¡± Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations No matter what Liu Runyan did, it was like a lamp went out after people died. No one cared about it anymore, except for the loyal Husky. However, the mission of the police was completed and they left some police officers there to deal with the rest. Officer Feng returned to the police station with Fang Ziyu, Xiao Bai and Liu Runyan¡¯s corpse. As for the dead body of the Level 4 Queen Double Sucker Worm, the police would keep it for the time being. After the matter was dealt with, Fang Ziyu and the Firebird would divide it themselves. When they arrived at the police station, Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai gave their statements separately. After finishing, Officer Feng took out a form and walked to Fang Ziyu, saying, ¡°Have you not registered as a Summoner yet?¡± ¡°I only contracte a pet yesterday, so I haven¡¯t had time to register yet.¡± Fang Ziyu immediately explained, afraid that he would be caught and had the corpse of the Level 4 Queen Double Sucker Worm taken away. ¡°I¡¯ll ask and you¡¯ll write. Since you¡¯ve helped me so much, I¡¯ll help you register.¡± Officer Feng glanced at Fang Ziyu and said. Fang Ziyu¡¯s thoughts couldn¡¯t escape his eyes at all. Fang Ziyu told him all his information obediently. When he was writing the Summoner skill, Fhe didn¡¯t say that he could turn any active skill into a passive skill. After all, this ability was considered an invisible skill. If he didn¡¯t say anything, other people wouldn¡¯t be able to detect it either. Fang Ziyu said that he had the ability to scan the body of a pet and determine the materials needed for the evolution of the pet. Fang Ziyu decided to take the initiative to expose this ability. After all, he was going to continue running a pet store. This ability would be exposed sooner or later. As for the ability to deal with the queen bug, he said he got it from Icy. This was actually the truth, but it became a passive skill in him. After hearing Fang Ziyu talk about this ability, Officer Feng thought he heard it wrong and asked again, ¡°You¡¯re saying that you can find out what materials a pet needs to evolve by sensing it?¡± ¡°Hm.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. Even though this was the ability of a stupid game, wouldn¡¯t it be his if the game gave it to him? ¡°But it¡¯s not always accurate. It might also be wrong.¡± Officer Feng didn¡¯t say anything and asked someone to bring over the Eye Butterfly used for security checks before. He looked at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°Feel what materials it needs to evolve.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and walked over. He was a patriotic and dedicated young man. Fang Ziyu reached out and touched the colorful wings of the Eye Butterfly. Then, lines of small fluorescent words appeared in the air in front of his eyes. Spirit Species: Eye Butterfly Gender: ¡â Level: Level 2 Magic Power: 87 Properties: Nature/Flying Skills: The Eye of Life Detection (Description: The number of lives inside the target can be detected when the target is hit) Suppression: None Evolution Potential: Level 3 Evolutionary Pathway: Level 3 Giant Eye Butterfly Evolution Materials: Eyes of the Earth Cicada (Picture), Flesh of the Giant Green Dragonfly (Picture), Honey of a mutated Rape Flower (Picture) The information that appeared was information about the Eye Butterfly. This was the second time Fang Ziyu used this upgraded detection ability. The first time, he used it on Icy on the way back. Even though it only took one second to detect the information, Fang Ziyu waited for thirty seconds before he said slowly, ¡°It should need the honey of the mutated Raper Flower, the flesh of the Chaotic Monster, the Giant Green Dragonfly, and the flesh of the Earth Cicada.¡± After hearing what Fang Ziyu said, Officer Feng looked at him and fell into silence. After a while, he said, ¡°The country has established a new Spirits Research Institute. Are you interested? The research institute is preparing to hire people right now. With your ability, you¡¯ll definitely have a bright future if you go there.¡± Officer Feng didn¡¯t seem to have any change in expression, but in fact, saying something that shouldn¡¯t be revealed in advance already showed how shocked he was. He knew the materials required for the evolution of the Eye Butterfly. Countless scientists worked hard to research it back then, but Fang Ziyu got the answer so easily with just an awakened ability. Even though the dead body of the Earth Cicada in the materials he mentioned wasn¡¯t exactly the same as the Eyes of the Earth Cicada researched by scientists, this proved how terrifying the ability was. ¡°No, I want to continue running my pet store. I can sell pets while letting people consult me for knowledge about pets.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and rejected. Officer Feng wasn¡¯t surprised by Fang Ziyu¡¯s reply. He took a deep breath, looked at Fang Ziyu and asked again, ¡°Is there a restriction to your ability?¡± Of course not. Fang Ziyu wanted to say this in his mind, but he certainly wouldn¡¯t really say so. He nodded and said, ¡°Of course. This ability seems to have something to do with my level as a Summoner. When I was at Level 1, I could only sense pets of up to Level 2 at most. Now at Level 2, I can only sense pets of up to Level 3 at most. And the number of times isn¡¯t unlimited either.¡± Hearing that, Officer Feng was relieved, thinking that this was still acceptable. But even so, compared to the skills of the other mysterious-type Summoners he had seen, it was still considered powerful. Even though it couldn¡¯t increase the attacking abilities of pets, it was only a matter of time before Fang Ziyu became a Level 9 Summoner with this ability. Besides, his ability could also benefit the entire society. That was the most impressive thing. Officer Feng persuaded Fang Ziyu a few more times, but he couldn¡¯t say anything else since Fang Ziyu insisted on running his pet store. He could only continue to jot down Fang Ziyu¡¯s information. When Fang Ziyu filled in the information about contract pets, Officer Feng took out a small scanning device. After scanning it, he found that the potential of Fang Ziyu¡¯s dragon was actually higher than that of the Level 5 Firebird. However, this was nothing compared to his Summoner skill. ¡°What device is this?¡± Fang Ziyu asked curiously. This thing seemed to be able to detect the potential of pets. ¡°This is a specialized detector. Scientists have just developed it recently and it¡¯s going to be on the market soon. It can detect the potential of pets and allow people to understand the pets when they contract them,¡± Officer Feng said. Fang Ziyu nodded to express his curiosity. The information was recorded very quickly. Officer Feng said that he would ask someone to send Fang Ziyu the Summoner identification documents in a few days and would also deliver the corpse of the Queen Double Sucker Worm to him. Looking at the information in his hands, Officer Feng stood up and said, ¡°Alright, you can go.¡± He glanced at the information in his hands. This was the information revealed by Fang Ziyu. As for how much he hid, no one knew. ¡°Goodbye, Officer Feng!¡± Fang Ziyu waved his hand and said, then called the little fat dragon, who had been waiting impatiently on the side, and left. Seeing that they could finally leave, the little fat dragon quickly flapped its wings and followed. When he came to the hall, Xiao Bai was already waiting there. He smiled and said when he saw Fang Ziyu, ¡°The police think highly of my ability. They even recommended that I go to the Summoner School that is about to open. ¡°But I rejected it. It¡¯s impossible for me to go to school. It¡¯s impossible for me to go to school in this life. I can only sell flowers and raise pets to maintain a life like this.¡± Xiao Bai showed off with a smile. Fang Ziyu certainly knew that he was showing off. He pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°Wow, he actually recommended you to go to the Summoner School. I¡¯m so envious. What a shame. That officer wanted to refer me to some Spirits Research Center just now. Unfortunately, I rejected it too.¡± ¡°Hey, Xiao Bai, which one do you think is more superior, the research institute or the school?¡± Fang Ziyu asked seriously. Xiao Bai: ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Fang Ziyu left the pet store in the morning. About ten minutes after Fang Ziyu left with Icy, a curled-up golden fur ball on the couch on the second floor moved. The fur ball then got up and stretched, turning into a huge orange cat. It glanced around and saw the imported cat food Fang Ziyu put in the cat bowl by the wall. It didn¡¯t eat it, but turned away after glancing at it. ¡°The poop-picker feeds me this kind of cat food all day long. He never changes it. He¡¯s really an unsatisfactory owner.¡± Yellow thought in its mind. However, it couldn¡¯t be bothered to move to another home for the time being and didn¡¯t bother to fuss about it. Yellow jumped on the window sill elegantly. After seeing Fang Ziyu get in the car and drive far away, it turned around and came to the door. The door was already closed, but it wasn¡¯t a big deal to it. Yellow jumped up and turned the door knob with her weight, walking out of the second floor easily. It came to the first floor slowly and glanced at the other pets on the first floor. It reached out its claw and opened a drawer under Fang Ziyu¡¯s computer desk skillfully. Fang Ziyu put the dried fish right here. Even though it was wrapped in several boxes, it could always find a way to open the boxes every time. It thought about how stupid Fang Ziyu was that he didn¡¯t even change a place while opening the drawer. Yellow couldn¡¯t help sticking out its tongue and licking its lips. The taste of dried fish made it unable to stop eating no matter how many times it ate them. Then, when it reached its head into the drawer to look for the box of dried fish, it was startled to find that there was no dried fish here. This was impossible! How would there not be any dried fish? Then, it saw a piece of paper. Fang Ziyu¡¯s annoying face with an evil smile was printed on it. His vivid smile seemed to be asking if it was surprised? Yellow was startled for a second and then tore the paper into pieces with its claws. Stupid human, do you think I won¡¯t be able to find them if you put them somewhere else? You know nothing about the sense of smell of cats. Yellow strode around the house, looking for the dried fish. It was very dissatisfied with Fang Ziyu¡¯s stupid behavior. After about ten minutes, Yellow squatted in front of its cat bowl. It seemed to be a bit angry and its soft fur even stood up. After its investigation, it got a very irritating answer. The dried fish might really have been finished and Fang Ziyu hadn¡¯t bought any new ones yet. It didn¡¯t want to eat cat food and there was no dried fish either, but it was a bit hungry. What should it do? It even complained about the cat food just then. If it ate it now, Yellow felt that it was going against the nobility of a cat. After a while, Yellow opened the window and jumped down from the second floor. It shook its body and walked outside. These movements would be a bit difficult for Yellow in the past, but it was just a piece of cake for it after it mutated. Yellow was going to catch a fish itself, and it was very confident. Filled with dreams and confidence, it took a firm and powerful small step. Facing the rising sun, it started its cat adventure. ¡­ ¡­ Time went back to when Fang Ziyu left the police station. Fang Ziyu and the slightly frustrated Xiao Bai walked out of the police station. After knowing Fang Ziyu¡¯s Summoner skill, Xiao Bai patted Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Our abilities together are simply invincible. In the future, we¡¯ll form a team. Help me evolve my pet and I¡¯ll give you milk. What do you think?¡± ¡°No.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head firmly. ¡°I¡¯ll agree to anything as long as you don¡¯t give me milk.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll definitely regret it.¡± Xiao Bai still hadn¡¯t given up. Giving Fang Ziyu milk seemed to have become his sore point. While talking, the two of them walked out of the police station. It was already two in the afternoon. Although the rise of Spiritual Energy lowered the global temperature, it was still very hot in August. ¡°Icy, give us some cold air. I¡¯ll buy you an ice cream later.¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m hungry!¡± Icy initiated Ice Breath and a cool air enveloped the two of them. ¡°It¡¯s really awesome to have a pet like Icy.¡± Xiao Bai said a bit enviously. He originally came out to look for a pet today. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t find one, and even went through such an incident. Fang Ziyu glanced at him and said, ¡°Take your time. There should be all kinds of mutated pet stores in a while. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you.¡± As the rise of Spiritual Energy integrated into people¡¯s lives, many people wanted to find a pet they liked without going through danger. People had been looking forward to seeing mutated pet stores for a long time. Since the country started accepting the application of the license a week ago, many people had already been working on the business license to sell mutated pets. Fang Ziyu also went to apply for it at that time. However, since he wasn¡¯t a Summoner at that time, he could only sell Level 1 mutated pets with the license. He had to become a Summoner and his own pet also had to reach a certain level before he could apply to sell pets above Level 2. Xiao Bai nodded. With Fang Ziyu¡¯s ability, it would definitely be fine. While he was speaking, he saw the Husky lying on the ground on the side, looking inside and not moving at all. ¡°Hey, Liu Runyan doesn¡¯t seem to have a family. No one will come for it even if it waits here.¡± Xiao Bai sighed and reached out his hand to treat the burn on its body. Icy glanced at the Husky and spat out its Ice Breath to keep it from getting too hot. Fang Ziyu looked at it and said slowly after thinking, ¡°If you have nowhere to go, you can come to find me.¡± The Husky, who was normally crazy when Fang Ziyu, Xiao Bai and the dragon came to it, didn¡¯t do anything, as if it had become a stone statue. The two of them glanced at the Husky and shook their heads. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xiao Bai drove home after the two of them and the dragon got ice cream. Unexpectedly, Icy had a special love for vanilla ice cream. It held the ice cream with its little claws and licked it quickly with its red tongue. Fang Ziyu ate the ice cream as he played with his phone. He opened ¡°A Guide for Raising Order Spirits¡± in the Spirit raising game and there was an additional detector icon on the interface. It was this icon that gave Fang Ziyu a new ability to detect information when he touched a pet. Game Reminder: Obtained the Core of a Level 4 Queen Double Sucker Worm. The game level-up mission is unlocked. There were certainly many benefits to increasing the level of the game, but it was up to fate whether he could get the Core of the Level 4 Queen Double Suckers Worm. After all, this matter wouldn¡¯t have been solved without the Level 5 Firebird. Besides, getting the core only unlocked the level-up mission. Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t interested in it for the time being. What he wanted to see the most right now was the situation of the post he posted on the forum about using sleeping pills to contract pets. If the post was ignored, it would be awkward. After opening the forum and browsing for a bit, Fang Ziyu was a bit startled at first, then he burst into laughter and shook his head. His post wasn¡¯t ignored. Not only was it pinned at the top, but there were also thousands of replies. Unexpectedly, five more posts about using sleeping pills to contract a Level 1 pet were also pinned at the top. Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Fang Ziyu looked at the other four posts. Needless to say, these posts were all posted by someone who ran a pet store. Three of the posts were all using the method to take advantage. They said that although they also knew this method, they weren¡¯t as generous as Fang Ziyu to share it with the public. Then, in order to express their apologies, they told people who needed mutated pets that they would get a 20% discount if they bought pets in their stores. Fang Ziyu could only express his speechlessness towards these posts. There were people who took advantage of other people¡¯s popularity everywhere, so it was impossible for him to stop them. Besides, after the rise of Spiritual Energy, the number of pets couldn¡¯t meet the demand at all. It didn¡¯t matter if those stores took a bit of the advantage. After all, they were so far away from each other, so it wouldn¡¯t affect him much. However, there was another post that directly cut off the paths for these pet stores including Fang Ziyu¡¯s. This post directly provided a bunch of data, saying that using sleeping pills to contract pets would reduce the potential of the pets and it would be difficult for them to evolve. Then, this post introduced a drug developed by the chain pet store, Love Pets. This drug had no side effects and wouldn¡¯t reduce the evolution potential of pets. Love Pets even said that this drug will be completely free. As long as customers bought a pet or got a membership card in their store, they would get it for free. The drug would be on the market soon and there weren¡¯t many of them in the first batch. Those who needed them had to go to their pet store to get a membership card as soon as possible. By then, each person would be able to get one for free with their membership. Seeing this post, Fang Ziyu felt a bit speechless. This was the difference between a big company and a small store like his. They couldn¡¯t compete at all. However, sleeping pills indeed had side effects. Icy falling asleep on the couch right after evolving last night was a side effect of the sleeping pills, but this didn¡¯t affect the pets much. The post wasn¡¯t as popular as expected. It was unexpected but also made sense. However, Fang Ziyu¡¯s main goal wasn¡¯t to sell pets. Selling pets was just a side business. His main purpose was to make Spirit Cards to Handbook Points. Then, he would use the Handbook Points for the evolution of his Spirit. When his pet was almost invincible, he would take it to wander around. His ability was unmatched, not even those research institutes. After all, he only needed to touch a pet to know its evolution conditions, and those scientists had to slowly analyze and study the pet. They couldn¡¯t possibly be faster than him. Besides, pets were still mutating constantly. The number of types of mutated pets kept increasing. It was impossible to study all of them. Overall, pets could be divided into three types right now. The first type was similar to the Eye Butterflies used by the police. They were stably mutated and almost all of them had the same ability. Pets like this could be evolved with the same evolution method after the materials and conditions were discovered. However, this kind of pet wouldn¡¯t get new skills after evolving, but their original skills would continue to be strengthened. The second type was like Icy and the Husky. The general direction of their evolution was almost fixed, but there was still uncertainty about the smaller pathways. They could obtain different abilities after evolving, but these abilities were generally related or similar to the general evolution direction. Since the general evolution direction of the second type of pet was fixed, it could generally be certain that one of its main evolution materials would match its main property. For example, Icy¡¯s main property was ice, while its general evolution direction was the Young Frost Dragon. Every time it evolved, it could still gain some new abilities. It was almost certain that it would need a core or mutated plant with the ice property every time it evolved. However, there were more than tens of thousands of cores and mutated plants with the ice property, not to mention other supplementary ingredients. There was a success rate for pet evolution and a slight deviation of the ingredients might cause the success rate to drop drastically. It was possible for people to find out the evolution materials for this type of pet through scientific research, but it would already take a few years for scientists to experiment with the evolution materials for Level 2. So, what scientists are researching right now was mainly the first type of pet. The second type of pet might take countless years for generations of scientists to succeed in their research. The third type was the kind of mutated pets that had no pattern at all. Even if they were mutated from the same species, there would still be different mutation outcomes and the properties of the evolution materials might be different each time. There wasn¡¯t a uniform pattern at all. The third type of pet was extremely rare. The official website of the country didn¡¯t give any detailed introduction. It only said that there was only one person in the world who had such a pet right now. This person was called Master Bei. It was said that Master Bei¡¯s pet had the fire property when it was at Level 1, while the water property when it was at Level 2, and another property when it was at Level 3. Now that it was at Level 5, this pet could release attacks of five properties and was immune to attacks of these five properties. It was only Level 5 but already ranked tenth among the human pet champions, while the ninth and eleventh pets were pets at the peak of Level 6 which were about to advance to Level 7. Right now, most pets couldn¡¯t have two properties that counteracted each other in their bodies at the same time. For example, the Young Frost Dragon of the ice property, Icy, might have space and earth properties in its body, but it couldn¡¯t possibly have fire property. However, the third type of pet could break this restriction and allow water and fire to merge in one body. Fang Ziyu got this information from the government website. He had never encountered a pet of the third type and he didn¡¯t know if his stupid game could detect information about such pets. For Fang Ziyu, it didn¡¯t matter even if the game couldn¡¯t detect it. The most common pets in nature were those of the second type, which were enough for him to make Spirit Cards to earn Handbook Points to increase his pet¡¯s level. This world was too mysterious. Not to mention that pets were full of endless mysteries, Fang Ziyu even couldn¡¯t understand the country. As if the country knew about the rise of Spiritual Energy ahead of time, it easily suppressed the chaos and restored order. The information released on the government website didn¡¯t seem like the results of research in just two months either. Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t interested in understanding these things. He was just a commoner. He was already busy enough with his own things. Generally speaking, the second type of pet had the highest number and was the most popular. Since every time they evolved, they got new skills apart from their main ones. So, they did not only surprise their masters, but other people would never know what kind of skills those pets had either. The first type of mutated pet were normally trained by the country or some organizations as their symbol. What Fang Ziyu wanted was a pet that he had never seen before, so he could make a Spirit Card. He wouldn¡¯t be able to continue getting new Spirit Cards with pets with exactly the same direction of mutation. If there was already a Spirit Card in the library, he would definitely not be able to make a new one. The few hamsters in his store which had all awakened their ability to breathe out fire could only be made into one Spirit Card. There were nearly ten thousand replies to Fang Ziyu¡¯s post, which was already enough for him. He didn¡¯t need to argue with these pet stores. His first post had already won the favor of many people, and there were too many people who needed pets right now. The supply couldn¡¯t meet the demand at all. ¡°Icy, come closer.¡± Fang Ziyu yelled. ¡°Awhoo?¡± After finishing the ice cream, Icy, who was confused, jumped on Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder and looked at him. Snap. Fang Ziyu took a clear photo and sent it to his post. ¡°Contracting pets with sleeping pills is just the last resort. A contract approved by the pet is the most solid companion relationship. I hope everyone stays on the right side of it. This is me and my pet dragon. It¡¯s already at Level 2 under my nurture. I¡¯ve awakened the ability of detecting the skills of pets. Feel free to come to our store to ask questions about your pets.¡± After adding this paragraph, Fang Ziyu left the forum. He didn¡¯t talk about the other posts, as if he didn¡¯t see them. Slap! Fang Ziyu¡¯s head was suddenly slapped by a claw. He turned around and met a pair of big, ice-blue eyes. ¡°Why did you hit me?¡± ¡°Fang Ziyu, you must remember that you¡¯re my servant. Pay attention to your language and actions.¡± Icy glared at Fang Ziyu and was very dissatisfied with Fang Ziyu taking photos of it without permission. ¡°If you want to take a picture, the main focus should be my handsome face and you will be the background.¡± Icy raised its tail and said. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Fine, why should he bother to argue with a dragon? After a while, they arrived at the door of Fang Ziyu¡¯s store. ¡°I¡¯m starving. I¡¯m going to eat first.¡± Fang Ziyu got out of the car with Icy. Xiao Bai nodded and drove away. ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare to buy a new batch of pets,¡± Fang Ziyu said. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the pet detector had not been released on the market yet and that people had no good way of detecting the potential of pets to earn some benefits with his own ability. Fang Ziyu had even decided which pet cultivation base he would go to. He would go to the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base. Not only was this cultivation base unprofessional, but it also tricked him harshly when he first entered the pet industry. Even though it had been two years, time had not made Fang Ziyu forget about this incident. If he didn¡¯t take revenge now when he had the chance, he wouldn¡¯t be Fang Ziyu anymore. Two months since the rise of Spiritual Energy, only two pets had been sold in his pet store. Most people chose to go on the streets to look for mutated stray cats and dogs. After all, these pets were free and they were much stronger than those in the pet stores after mutating, so they were sought after by many people. However, the monsters in the wilderness had all grown up now. People wouldn¡¯t dare to go out without the protection of high-level pets. Besides, most of the stray cats and dogs in the city had been contracted. So, many people without pets could only put their attention on the pet store again. As the mutated pets integrated into people¡¯s life, the focus of society would shift to the pets. The country was already setting up summoner schools, and the registration of the license of various pet research institutes and companies were all open. When pets were destined to become the center, people without one would always come to the pet store after some hesitation, no matter how painful it was. This was such a huge opportunity to make money. Fang Ziyu would definitely not let the dazzling money slip away from him.. Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Fang Ziyu looked up when he heard the sound of a cat. He saw a golden yellow cat sitting at the door of the store, looking at him with its big round eyes, as if it was complaining about why Fang Ziyu only came back now. ¡°How did you come out?¡± Fang Ziyu quickly walked over and squatted down to pet Yellow. ¡°There are people catching stray cats and dogs everywhere outside right now. Why did you come out by yourself?¡± Seeing that Yellow was fine, Fang Ziyu heaved a sigh of relief. He would be heartbroken if this silly cat was really caught. At the same time, he blamed himself a bit. It probably ran out because there was no dried fish. He thought he should have bought more in advance. ¡°Meow¡­¡± Yellow turned around and looked at Fang Ziyu with slight disdain, as if it was saying, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m as dumb as you?¡± ¡°Do you hear me? You¡¯ll not be allowed to eat dried fish for a month next time you run away secretly.¡± Fang Ziyu patted its head when he saw that Yellow didn¡¯t care. It felt especially great patting Yellow¡¯s head, which was round and had thick hair, so Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t help but pat it a few more times. ¡°Meow, meow? Meow¡­¡± At first, Yellow felt a bit anxious in its mind when it ran out secretly and did something bad behind Fang Ziyu¡¯s back, so it could tolerate Fang Ziyu¡¯s offense and let him pat its head twice. However, Fang Ziyu pushed his luck, so Yellow couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. It turned its head and bit Fang Ziyu¡¯s hand. It exposed its nails on its strong cat claws slightly, warning Fang Ziyu not to pat its noble head again, or it couldn¡¯t be blamed for being merciless. ¡°Hm? Did your paws get wet? Did you run to the water?¡± Fang Ziyu saw that the fur on Yellow¡¯s paws was obviously dry and a bit stiff after they got wet. ¡°Did you steal fish somewhere?¡± Fang Ziyu grabbed Yellow and questioned it. ¡°Meow¡­ Meow, meow¡­¡± Yellow was first startled and then it shook its head constantly. No, no, it didn¡¯t do anything. ¡°Ahwooh! It said it didn¡¯t catch any fish. Its paws got wet accidentally after walking through a small puddle. It also said it wanted to fire you, this unsatisfactory poop-picker. It found it ridiculous that you didn¡¯t buy dried fish and even doubted it.¡± Icy cried and told Fang Ziyu what Yellow meant through telepathy. Fang Ziyu picked up Yellow and sniffed it. There really didn¡¯t seem to be any fishy smell. Did he wrongly blame it? Fang Ziyu was a bit skeptical. What Fang Ziyu was most afraid of was that it went to the aquarium to steal fish to eat. The cheapest fish inside also cost a few hundred yuan. ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t run out again next time.¡± Fang Ziyu caressed Yellow. He could hear the calls of all kinds of pets inside through the door. It was time for the pets to have lunch. As for Yellow, it was already meaningless for them to talk about whether it ate fish or not. He hoped it didn¡¯t. Fang Ziyu made a call to the owner of a nearby restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles as he fed his pets. After blocking the door with a fence, Fang Ziyu let out the two four-month-old British Shorthairs in the cage for some air while he picked up the cat litter and cleaned the cage. ¡°Meow¡­ Meow¡­¡± The two British Shorthairs were both pure blue. They had the chubby body of the British Shorthair, a round head and ears, and short, thick legs. After Fang Ziyu let them out, they chased after each other with their short legs. One moment, they jumped here, another moment, they ran somewhere else. After a while, they ran back to Fang Ziyu¡¯s feet and meowed. They even ran to Yellow, who was eating cat food with a disgusted look, from time to time. They seemed to want to try if Yellow¡¯s cat food tasted good. Yellow glanced at the two little guys and stretched out its claws to push them, making them roll on the ground. The two cute kittens got up and bounced around again¡­ Fang Ziyu was supposed to clean the pet cages every morning, but he had to go out today, so he could only do so now. However, he didn¡¯t have many pets in his store. Besides, he hadn¡¯t had any new pets for a long time, so there were only 15 left in the store. It didn¡¯t take long for him to clean. These animals had awakened their abilities, so Fang Ziyu originally had to be careful not to be hurt by them when he was cleaning the cages. But now, he had the Level 2 Icy. Just a glare Icy and these guys would stop moving obediently. This was also why the identity of a Summoner and a certain pet level were required for the application of the mutated pet store license. Normal people couldn¡¯t work in this industry at all. Icy was always sleeping on the couch now, so the terrarium that used to keep it was also free. After that, Fang Ziyu rearranged the pet cages, so there was a big empty space in the store, which was enough for him to put in new pets. It took him almost half an hour to clean up. After washing his hands, Fang Ziyu turned on the computer and watched Bonnie Bears while eating the noodles sent by the owner of the restaurant next door. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± The two British Shorthairs surrounded Fang Ziyu¡¯s feet and meowed as they rolled around. They wanted to eat Fang Ziyu¡¯s noodles. Fang Ziyu ignored them. Most of the food humans ate couldn¡¯t be eaten by cats. Their stomachs couldn¡¯t digest greasy food. Chili, cumin and other things would stimulate the cat¡¯s stomach. Onion and garlic would also destroy the red blood cells of cats, causing hemolytic anemia. So, no matter how cute they were, Fang Ziyu wouldn¡¯t let them eat his food. Fang Ziyu opened the drawer skillfully and took out a fake fish, throwing it aside to distract them. ¡°Ahwooh! Fang Ziyu, play another show. These two bears are too dumb. I don¡¯t want to see them.¡± Icy pointed at the computer and shouted. It had already finished eating and was originally taking a nap on the counter when Fang Ziyu woke it up with the TV. ¡°Then, let¡¯s watch Pok¨¦mon.¡± Fang Ziyu put up a cartoon. Icy found it alright after watching it for a while. It leaned on the table and started watching the cartoon. However, every time Icy saw that the characters beat the Pok¨¦mons up to bring them under control, it would complain that human was so stupid and so whimsical. After the meal, it was another boring afternoon. Fang Ziyu poured a cup of tea and sat on the chaise longue, thinking about how he should trick the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base tomorrow. In the relaxing afternoon, Icy watched cartoons to digest the food while Yellow basked in the sun on the window sill on the second floor. After chasing after each other in the store, the two British Shorthairs laid on their cat tree quietly and meowed occasionally. The naughty parrot in the cage spat out words that it just learned from time to time. After the mutation, it seemed to have become smarter. Fang Ziyu slept on the chaise longue for two hours and didn¡¯t even turn over. Fang Ziyu, who was deep in his sleep, was suddenly woken up by Icy. When he opened his eyes, he saw three people standing at the door. They seemed to be here to look at the pets. ¡°Are you open for business today? We¡¯re here to see if there are any mutated pets.¡± The middle-aged man among the three people asked. There was also a middle-aged woman and a teenage girl with two ponytails standing next to the man. The little girl¡¯s attention was already attracted by the two British Shorthairs in the store completely at this moment. Judging by her expression, her heart seemed to have been melted by the cuteness of the British Shorthair. Seeing that there were customers, Fang Ziyu immediately became energetic. He stood up and said, ¡°We¡¯re open. Please come in. What pets do you need?¡± Fang Ziyu noticed that a cat and a white three-legged pigeon, which was 50cm tall, were following behind the two adults. Fang Ziyu guessed that they were picking pets for their daughter.. Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Hm, we¡¯re here to pick a pet for our daughter. It¡¯s best if it has a better evolution potential and a cute face.¡± The middle-aged man said as he sized up the pets in the store while walking in. ¡°Hey, Qiqi, don¡¯t play with the cats. These are all mutated pets. Be careful of hurting yourself.¡± The woman saw that her daughter wanted to play with the British Shorthairs, so she quickly stopped her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. These two British Shorthairs didn¡¯t mutate. They¡¯re just ordinary cats. They¡¯re both very gentle,¡± Fang Ziyu said. The middle-aged man was a bit disappointed when he heard that the two British Shorthairs were ordinary cats. ¡°Although I really don¡¯t want to give up this deal, I can only say that you didn¡¯t come at the right time.¡± Fang Ziyu said helplessly, ¡°There are a few mutated pets in the store, but they don¡¯t have a high evolution potential. If you want pets with a higher potential, you can come tomorrow afternoon. By then, our store will have a new batch of high-quality pets.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡± Hearing that, the middle-aged man nodded and prepared to leave with his daughter. As for whether they would come tomorrow, God knew. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t leave in a hurry.¡± Fang Ziyu stopped the three of them and said with a slightly apologetic tone, ¡°Can I take a picture of the pets behind you to keep a record? I¡¯m collecting information on mutated pets. ¡°Let me get some information about your pets and I¡¯ll give you a 30% discount when you come to pick your pet tomorrow.¡± ¡°30% off?¡± The woman stopped and asked. ¡°Right, 30% off.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. The middle-aged woman looked at her husband and said, ¡°I think it¡¯s quite a good deal. He just wants to take a picture of the pets. Mutated pets are getting more and more expensive nowadays. A 30% discount can save a lot of money.¡± The man thought for a while and nodded to agree. Seeing that they agreed, Fang Ziyu was delighted in his mind and he quickly said, ¡°Let¡¯s take a beautiful full-face photo. Please ask your pets to stand properly.¡± The two of them didn¡¯t hesitate. They communicated with their pets and asked them to stand properly. As if they knew that Fang Ziyu was going to take photos of them, the cat and the 50cm three-legged pigeon waited fiercely and proudly for Fang Ziyu to take the photos. Did pets have the same bad habit of flattering themselves like humans? Fang Ziyu thought in his mind as he took their photos. Then, Fang Ziyu touched the two pets with the permission of them and their owners. Fang Ziyu caressed the cat¡¯s head and initiated the detection function of the game. Then, the information page about the cat appeared in front of him. Spirit Species: Clean Cat Gender: ¡â Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 3 Properties: Nature, Water Skill: Cleaning (Description: When this skill is initiated, it will clean up everything within a three-meter radius.) Suppression: Normal fish, birds¡­ Evolution Potential: Level 1 Evolution Pathway: None ¡°Is it because they hate cleaning up the house that they specially chose this cat?¡± Fang Ziyu thought. However, no matter what, even if it had a Level 1 evolution potential, he could make a Spirit Card as long as he had never seen it and get ten Handbook Points. After that, Fang Ziyu fed the pigeon a bit more food and touched its wings. Fang Ziyu reckoned that with its extraordinary three legs, it shouldn¡¯t be a pet with only a Level 1 evolution potential. Spirit Species: Three-legged Fire Pigeon Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 9 Properties: Nature, Fire Skill: Spurting Flames (Description: The incomplete version of Spurting Flames, can be used to light a cigarette and boil water). Suppression: Wood and Gold Spirits¡­ Evolution Potential: Level 3 Evolution Pathway: Three-legged Fire Duck As expected, this was a pet with a Level 3 evolution potential. A Rare Spirit Card could be made and he could get 30 Handbook Points. The pet information page generally only showed these eight lines. For more detailed information like the evolution materials and evolution environment, Fang Ziyu had to reveal them by himself. The magic power of this three-legged pigeon had already reached the peak of Level 1. They only needed to find the corresponding evolution materials for it to evolve. Fang Ziyu looked at the middle-aged man in shock and said, ¡°This pigeon of yours can evolve to Level 2 immediately.¡± ¡°How did you know that?¡± The middle-aged man asked in disbelief. ¡°This is the Summoner ability I awakened myself.¡± Fang Ziyu said, ¡°I can detect the materials needed for its evolution for you. Do you want me to do it?¡± ¡°Can you guarantee that it¡¯ll definitely evolve successfully?¡± the middle-aged man asked. ¡°No.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head. ¡°I can only guarantee an 80% chance of evolution.¡± There was usually a success rate for the evolution of pets even if the right materials were found. It didn¡¯t necessarily mean that evolution was guaranteed. However, if the magic power of the pet had reached the peak, there would be a 90% chance of success if they prepared the completely accurate evolution materials that Fang Ziyu told them about. The lower the accuracy of the evolution materials, the lower the success rate. The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Ziyu and was a bit skeptical, but he subconsciously asked, ¡°How much?¡± ¡°20,000, or a core of a Level 2 Chaotic Monster. I guarantee an 80% success rate.¡± Fang Ziyu said. The core of a Level 2 Chaotic Monster was about the same price. The middle-aged man seemed to be in a dilemma and was struggling in his mind. After discussing it with his wife, he still shook his head and said, ¡°Thank you, but not for now. We¡¯ll come over to take a look tomorrow. If there¡¯s a pet suitable for Qiqi, I¡¯ll buy it.¡± The couple left with their daughter after leaving their names and contact numbers. Fang Ziyu felt a bit sad when he saw them leave, but he believed that this man would come back. Fang Ziyu stopped thinking about this and opened the ¡°Order Spirit Cultivation Game¡± to start making Spirit Cards. After the game¡¯s detection function was upgraded, there was also a change in the making of Spirit Cards. After Fang Ziyu uploaded the photo of the Clean Cat¡¯s face on his phone, he pulled the information of the Clean Cat he had detected over and made a Spirit Card. Fang Ziyu got 10 Handbook Points. Then, he made a Spirit Card of the three-legged pigeon and got 30 Handbook Points. Together with the 10 Handbook Points he got from making the Spirit Card of the Husky, Fang Ziyu now had a total of 50 points. And the Level 2 Young Frost Dragon, Icy, needed 140 Handbook Points to evolve to become a Level 3 Young Frost Dragon. Looking at the phone, Fang Ziyu sensed the Spiritual Power in his body and said with a sigh, ¡°The extra Spiritual Power isn¡¯t enough to contract a Level 1 pet. If only there were mutated plants that can increase Spiritual Power.¡± Fang Ziyu really needed to contract a pet and hide it right now. Icy was already exposed to the public eye right now. Even if he could detect Icy¡¯s evolution materials, he couldn¡¯t let her evolve too quickly. In fact, even if he used the Handbook Points for Icy¡¯s evolution in the future, he would have to go to the market to buy some evolution materials it needed as well. Otherwise, if someone noticed that he could evolve pets with the Handbook Points, it would be a huge problem. Not to mention that this matter couldn¡¯t be explained, even if it could be said to be a Summoner ability, Fang Ziyu would also get himself into countless troubles and make people covetous, even losing his life. So, Fang Ziyu urgently needed to contract a new pet secretly, then hide this pet and increase its level with the Handbook Points, making it his trump card. However, contracting a pet required Spiritual Power. The extra Spiritual Power Fang Ziyu had couldn¡¯t even contract the most ordinary Level 1 pet. This made Fang Ziyu yearn for mutant plants that could increase his Spiritual Power.. Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°1,000 yuan for a Level 1 Spirit Bok Choy, 5,000 yuan for one kilogram of Level 2 Spirit Cherries, 10,000 for a Level 2 Spirit Apple¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably thinking about money like crazy!¡± Fang Ziyu said with extreme frustration. These were the prices he saw on Tongcheng Trading Website. They were truly ridiculously expensive. Especially when those weren¡¯t the kind of individual mutated plant. For example, a Level 1 Spirit Ginseng cost more than 30,000 yuan and it was priceless. As soon as it was on the market, it was easy for its price to be directly increased to 100,000 yuan. There were too many rich people and too few mutated plants that could increase Spiritual Power. Normal people couldn¡¯t get them at all. Besides, normally, no one would sell these things. They would directly use them to increase their strength. Poor people like Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t afford them at all. Also, mutated plants that only bore one fruit would directly die after maturing, so there was no way to plant them artificially at the moment. And the fruits of a mutated plant like the apple tree were too weak, so they wouldn¡¯t be able to increase much Spiritual Power. So, there were barely any mutated plants that could increase people¡¯s Spiritual Power on the market right now. The best way to get them was to go on an adventure in the wilderness. However, going on an adventure required great strength. Without strength, not only would people not be able to get any mutated plants, but they would also die directly. At the same time, they also needed mutated plants to increase their strength. This was a vicious cycle for most people. ¡°No, I must think of a way to get some mutated plants to increase my Spiritual Power as soon as possible.¡± Fang Ziyu scratched his head and said in frustration. Even though he was in the city right now, he still felt a sense of insecurity after experiencing the incident of the Double Sucker Worms. He had about 200,000 yuan in his bank account after opening the store for two years, but he was going to set up the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base tomorrow. This was something that had to be done. It was now or never. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have a chance when the pet detector went on the market. Since he wanted to make a huge amount of money, Fang Ziyu had no money to buy mutated plants for now. No matter how Fang Ziyu thought about it, he still couldn¡¯t think of a way to get mutated plants that could increase his Spiritual Power, so he laid on the recliner comfortably. Hm. This was a person who had no dream that wasn¡¯t even willing to turn over. There were no customers for the rest of the time. Mother Earth turned and the day passed just like that. The sun rose again at dawn after the night. At around 7, Fang Ziyu rushed out of the bedroom while yawning in his cartoon bear pajamas. He was about to burst. After getting out of bed, Fang Ziyu first fed his pets and then cleaned up the entire store again, throwing away the cat litter and some other pet feces. After that, he went to the restaurant next door for breakfast. What was worth mentioning was that the owner of the restaurant had contracted a hybrid Alaskan Malamute that could spit fire. What was even more unbelievable was that he trained a sled dog, one of the three most foolish dogs, to spit fire for him to cook. That even saved him gas. Seeing the new pet, Fang Ziyu made a Normal Spirit Card, thinking that it was better than nothing, and he got 10 Handbook Points. That made his Handbook Points increase to 60. After tidying up, Fang Ziyu took Icy and hummed as they took a taxi to the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base. The Ocean Pet Cultivation Base was in the south of the city near the suburbs. Fang Ziyu only spent 20 yuan to get there. Even though he hadn¡¯t been here for two years, Fang Ziyu still remembered the road deeply because of the impact of being tricked back then. Speaking of the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base, there was even news about them during the rise of Spiritual Energy. Because there was no law of protection for small animals in our country, many pet cultivation bases completely treated female cats or dogs as breeding machines in order to reduce costs. They made these pets reproduce and then immediately carry on with the next reproduction, not giving them any nutrition at all. Anyway, they could just find a new one if they died, which was even less than the cost of nutrition for pets. Then, during the rise of Spiritual Energy, all these animals started to mutate. Many pet cultivation bases were in serious disasters at that time. The Chaotic Monsters mutated from cats and dogs completely destroyed the bases. The Ocean Pet Cultivation Base was quite lucky. The mutated Chaotic Monsters here weren¡¯t particularly strong, and the police arrived quickly, so they were safe. After walking for a few hundred meters, Fang Ziyu saw the signboard of the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base, the smiling face of a husky. Huskies were too famous. Many pet bases used them as their mascot. Fang Ziyu walked into the base and saw a saleswoman in her thirties. This saleswoman, who had thick makeup on, asked with a smile, ¡°Hello, sir. Are you looking for a personal pet or business cooperation?¡± The saleswoman was slightly surprised when she saw Icy on Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder. What a cute pet, it even looked like a dragon. ¡°I¡¯m a pet store owner. I came to buy a batch of mutated pets. If the quality is good, I will buy around 20 to 30 of them.¡± Fang Ziyu directly expressed his purpose of coming. This saleswoman was called Liu Hui. She was the one who served and tricked Fang Ziyu two years ago. However, she seemed to have forgotten about him now, so Fang Ziyu naturally had no intention of saying it out loud. Two years ago, when Ziyu opened the pet store, he didn¡¯t sell strange pets like snakes and lizards, but normal cats and dogs. He was too young at that time. He heard this saleswoman say that even the large chain pet store, Love Pets, got pets from them. She successfully tricked Fang Ziyu, this rookie, to buy cats and dogs here. After that, they sold Fang Ziyu a bunch of problematic pets. They were either hubrids or had health problems. As a result, Fang Ziyu not only lost money to the people who bought the pets from his store, but also had to sell all the other pets in the store at a low price. This incident directly made Fang Ziyu, who had just graduated, despair. The pet store directly closed and he even owed tens of thousands of yuan. If it weren¡¯t for the financial help from his parents who ran an apple garden, Fang Ziyu would be bathing cats and dogs at some pet store right now. How could Fang Ziyu possibly forget such a huge grudge? The saleswoman, Liu Hui, immediately became more energetic when she heard that it was a huge deal. She quickly said, ¡°Sir, how should I call you? Please sit and have a cup of tea first. We¡¯ll talk in detail.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Mr. Fang.¡± Fang Ziyu waved his hand. ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry. I want to choose my pet quickly.¡± Liu Hui was startled, then nodded and said, ¡°Alright, but be careful, sir. These mutated pets are all very dangerous.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Fang Ziyu seemed a bit impatient. Seeing that Fang Ziyu said so, Liu Hui could only lead the way and reminded him to be careful. In the past, customers weren¡¯t allowed to enter such a pet base that sold normal cats and dogs, but it didn¡¯t matter now because they were all mutated pets. ¡°Ah, Mr. Fang, may I know the name of your pet store?¡± Liu Hui asked as she led the way. Fang Ziyu told her the name, Bizarre Pet Store. This was the name he changed after he started selling special pets like lizards and snakes. Liu Hui directly brought Fang Ziyu to the area that stored the high-quality pets they chose. They could only choose pets based on their experience. They usually looked for those with powerful skills or those with severe mutations such as having two heads and wings. Such selection criteria only had a certain degree of accuracy, but in fact, the potential of a pet didn¡¯t have much to do with its appearance. It couldn¡¯t even be judged by the strength of its skills. For example, some pets only had a Level 1 potential. When they were at Level 1, it was like they were fully grown. The power of their skills was certainly a bit stronger than those pets that hadn¡¯t fully grown yet. But this didn¡¯t mean that their potential was high. As for its appearance, it was even worse. These weren¡¯t difficult to conclude, but people could only choose pets according to these characteristics because they didn¡¯t have instruments that truly tested the potential of pets. ¡°Mr. Fang, do you want me to give you a recommendation? There are a lot of powerful pets here. They can definitely be sold for a good price.¡± Liu Hui pointed at the pets inside the fence and said. ¡°No, I want to choose it myself..¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In fact, Fang Ziyu was still a little worried that Ocean Pet Cultivation Base would be able to get pet detectors earlier through special channels. However, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary now. Liu Hui and a few staff members looked at Fang Ziyu speechlessly. They didn¡¯t know what kind of selection method he was using that he had to touch the pets one by one. Although they did not have any expression on their faces, they felt a little disdainful in their hearts. If he could identify if the pets were good or bad by touching them, they would be seeing ghosts. They felt that Fang Ziyu was simply wasting time. They still had to watch on tenterhooks as they were afraid that Fang Ziyu would be hurt by the pets. However, no matter what they were thinking in their minds, they still had to smile on the outside. After all, customers were gods. However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that Fang Ziyu really knew the potential of a pet by touching it. Fang Ziyu was very happy at the moment. On one hand, there were so many mutated pets that he could use to create Spirit Cards and obtain Handbook Points. On the other hand, he felt the pleasure of tricking other people. Fang Ziyu was very happy when he thought about how these people would show a dumbfounded look in disbelief when they used the pet detectors to scan their pets in the future. How was that possible? None of the hundreds of pets had potential. How was that possible? God, how did this happen? The owner would kick the chair away with a straight face and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s over. The Ocean Pet Cultivation Base is over¡­¡± Without pets with potential, they would lose their core competitiveness. They would definitely be inferior to the other pet bases. One wrong move would result in another. If they failed at this crucial moment in the development of the mutated pet market, the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base would definitely be doomed. The only way was to take the money and run away. And from the beginning to the end, they would have no idea who was the mastermind behind their bankruptcy, so they could only resent their bad luck. Even if they were skeptical when they thought of Fang Ziyu¡¯s strange behavior today, there was nothing they could do. Fang Ziyu thought about the ending of the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base in his mind. He didn¡¯t think that what he did was wrong. If he requited resentment with kindness, how would his kindness be requited? Fang Ziyu thought about many things in his mind, but his expression did not change. He would not make any sarcastic remarks to mock the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base that they would definitely close down in the future right now. Watching the enemy fall into a hopeless situation quietly without knowing who the mastermind was felt much better than talking nonsense. ¡°Woof!¡± The Husky with three tails that Fang Ziyu touched licked his hand enthusiastically. Fang Ziyu looked at the Husky, but in fact, he was looking at the information page that others could not see. Spirit Species: Three-tailed Husky Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 2 Properties: Nature Skill: Wagging Tail (Description: When the Three-tailed Husky wags its tail at someone, it will definitely get the person¡¯s attention) Suppression: None Evolution Potential: Level 1 Evolution Pathway: None Seeing this skill, Fang Ziyu could not help but laugh. Was this an ability specially evolved to gain the attention of its owner? That was why a pet¡¯s appearance had little to do with its potential. If not for the fact that its evolution potential was only at Level 1, Fang Ziyu would still be a little interested in it. After all, its wagging tail would definitely attract attention. If used in battle, it would definitely catch the opponent off guard. Fang Ziyu took out his phone and was about to take a beautiful full-face photo of it, but Liu Hui stopped him. ¡°Mr. Fang, photos are not allowed here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m buying so many pets. When am I not allowed to take a few photos?¡± Fang Ziyu said. How could he not be allowed to take photos? Even though he knew that people normally weren¡¯t allowed to take photos here, he wouldn¡¯t get Handbook Points if he didn¡¯t take photos. ¡°You really can¡¯t. No matter how many pets you buy, you aren¡¯t allowed to do so. These pets are confidential assets of our base. No pictures are allowed.¡± Liu Hui smiled and shook her head to reject him again. She was a bit annoyed in her mind. If Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t a big customer, she would have already been impatient. In fact, she was a bit frustrated as well. In the past, she could still fool some rookies when she sold cats and dogs in the past. But now, even pets had mutated. It was clear at a glance if a pet was good or not. If she said this pet was impressive, she would be asked to show its skill. Her empty talks weren¡¯t useful at all. After being rejected again, Fang Ziyu gave up in the end. The act of insisting on taking photos was too weird. He could only give up these Handbook Points in pain. However, Fang Ziyu could buy more pets. He could make Spirit Cards when he got home and could also get a lot of Handbook Points. Fang Ziyu put down the phone and continued to touch the pets. Fang Ziyu pretended to touch the pets as if he wanted to find a special one and he touched them one by one. The area had a total of more than 50 high-quality pets that Liu Hui and the others chose. Fang Ziyu detected a total of five Level 2 pets and one Level 3 pet. This Level 3 pet was an Alaskan Malamute that could use electric shocks. Compared to the mutated pets that spat fire and used electricity, it was indeed rare. This was the first one that Fang Ziyu had seen. Fang Ziyu chose this Alaskan Malamute and two other Level 2 pets. The main reason was that the pets in the high-quality area were too expensive. That Alaskan Malamute already cost 20,000 yuan. Then, Fang Ziyu touched them one by one. After thinking for a while, he decided to make it big if he was really doing so, directly beating the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base to death. Fang Ziyu was planning to buy all the pets above Level 2 that he detected. Time passed quickly. Fang Ziyu acted like he was looking for a special pet. He raised the heads of every pet and left after looking at them. Soon, he touched half of the pets here. Out of more than 200 pets, he found 25 Level 2 pets and three Level 3 pets. At this moment, Fang Ziyu came to a litter of American Shorthair. There were a female cat and a total of five kittens that were three months old. Fang Ziyu glanced at these American Shorthairs. They were all purebred American Shorthairs. Ever since he was scammed two years ago, he had stopped selling cats and dogs, but had also been working hard on learning to identify them. It wasn¡¯t difficult to find ways to identify them. There were a lot of them on Qiandu. Only those that had practical uses were good ones. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t look at them for too long and he reached out to touch them. American Shorthairs had a gentle personality and they weren¡¯t dangerous to touch at all, especially these gray, tabby kittens. They were so tiny and their cute looks when their emerald-like eyes looked at people like they could touch them as they pleased made them want to bring them home and smell their scent every day. The appearance of these six cats didn¡¯t change at all. They still looked like American Shorthairs. Fang Ziyu touched them one by one. The third kitten was a Level 2 pet. ¡°Meow¡­¡± When Fang Ziyu touched it, the little fellow put one of its claws on the back of Fang Ziyu¡¯s hand, as if it was telling him not to leave and to play with it for a while longer. ¡°Hm, I want this one.¡± Fang Ziyu picked up the cat and gave it to the breeder next to him. The breeder took the cat and put it into the cage he prepared, then took it outside. Fang Ziyu had learned his lesson. Even though he knew that they wouldn¡¯t be able to swap it secretly halfway, he still asked Icy to watch over it. Fang Zi continued to touch the few remaining ones. In fact, he didn¡¯t have much hope for the rest. Most pets had a Level 1 potential. The probability of having a Level 2 pet was about one-tenth. It was already good enough if there was a Level 2 cat in this litter. However, even if they had no potential, it was still very, very satisfying to touch them. As soon as Fang Ziyu touched the fourth little cutie, Fang Ziyu looked at its information as he petted it. Spirit Species: Hidden Cat Gender: ¡â Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 1 Properties: Mysterious, Hidden Skill: Stealth (Description: When it initiates Stealth, you won¡¯t be able to see it) Suppression: None Evolution Potential: Level 4 Evolution Pathway: Ghost Cat ¡°Hm?¡± Fang Ziyu made a sound when he saw the information and almost exposed himself.. Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Liu Hui hurriedly asked when she noticed Fang Ziyu¡¯s strange behavior. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. This little fellow¡¯s nails are a little sharp.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and said, ¡°It looks alright. I¡¯ll take it too.¡± Fang Ziyu held it up and said. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Seeing that the breeder had sent it over, Fang Ziyu¡¯s face was expressionless, but he actually wished he could follow along, afraid that something would go wrong. This cat with a Level 4 potential was probably the best one he got here. There might not even be one pet with a Level 4 potential like this one in a thousand of them. Fang Ziyu could only say that he was really lucky. After reading its information, Fang Ziyu guessed why a cat that could turn invisible was not discovered by Liu Hui and the others. There was only one answer. It had never used the skill of Stealth. In fact, it wasn¡¯t that it didn¡¯t use it, but it didn¡¯t have enough magic power. Pets needed magic power to use skills, and this American Shorthair only had one unit of magic power. It was not enough to initiate such a powerful ability. That was why the American Shorthair was not discovered. From this, it could be seen that the food given to the cats by the pet base was not good either. It was probably inferior-quality cat food. Trying hard to calm himself down, Fang Ziyu continued to choose other pets with potential. ¡°Meow¡­¡± ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Seeing two kittens being taken away in a row, the kittens¡¯ mother circled around as she shouted at Fang Ziyu and the others. The few little kittens also started crying. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help them find a good home,¡± Fang Ziyu said apologetically. He continued to touch the pets and soon looked through the remaining few hundred pets. He found another 30 pets with a Level 2 potential and two with a Level 3 potential, in addition to the previous 25 pets with a Level 2 potential, three with a Level 3 potential, and the American Shorthair with a Level 4 potential. There were also a Level 3 Alaskan Malamute and two Level 2 pets that were selected from the first high-quality pet area. There were a total of 57 pets with a Level 2 potential, six with a Level 3 potential, and one with a Level 4 potential, 64 pets altogether. Ocean Pet Cultivation Base bred cats and dogs. Among the 64 pets, there were 42 cats and 22 dogs, including purebreds and hybrids. After selecting the pets, it was time to negotiate the price. If it was the original price of normal pets, there was nothing to talk about. It was more or less fixed. However, now that these were all mutated pets, they couldn¡¯t just sell them at the original price. From the market prices that were already available online, the price of ordinary Level 1 pets ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. Some that had a huge mutation in appearance or had powerful skills were all above 10,000 yuan. Of course, these were all market prices. It was definitely different when Fang Ziyu bought them here. After some discussion, he spent a total of 150,000 for 64 pets in the end. Liu Hui was so happy that she couldn¡¯t stop smiling after making such a huge deal. She looked at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°Mr. Fang, it¡¯s nice to meet you. We¡­¡± ¡°How happy are you?¡± Fang Ziyu asked. He knew what Liu Hui wanted to say and he interrupted her. Liu Hui: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Fang, you¡¯ve seen the situation at our pet cultivation base. It¡¯s very beneficial for both of us to sign a long-term cooperation agreement¡­¡± ¡°No, I won¡¯t consider this matter for now,¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and said. What a joke. Let alone he came here specifically to trick the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base, even if he really wanted to sign a long-term cooperation agreement, he would not choose this base. There were no pets in the base that were severely depleted due to being used as breeding machines and there was no cheap cat food or dog food. However, the fact that there were a few cats kept in one cage showed that this pet base was the kind of place that didn¡¯t care about pets and would do anything to earn money. If it was really a base with morals, not only would the cats and dogs that could be sold be caged individually, but the base would also sterilize the cages from time to time. However, Fang Ziyu hadn¡¯t smelled any sanitizer since the beginning. Seeing that Fang Ziyu had no intention of working with them for a long time, Liu Hui promoted their cages, display cabinets, cat litter, cat beds, cat food, pet shower gel, sanitizers, dog houses, teething sticks, mouth masks, toys, and so on. In the end, not only did she not sell those things, Fang Ziyu even insisted on getting 64 pet cages. Fang Ziyu certainly would not buy those things here. Who knew what kind of bad-quality products he would get? Fang Ziyu looked happily at the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base behind him as he watched his pets being moved onto the transport truck. The Husky¡¯s smile remained. Hm, so long! Fang Ziyu got onto the truck with Icy. At noon, the transport truck stopped in front of Bizarre Pet Store. The huge pet transport truck attracted the attention of passersby. The shop owners nearby also ran out to join in the fun. Fang Ziyu actually quite liked these people who were watching the show. This was also a kind of advertisement. Fang Ziyu¡¯s pet store was a small shop. The main hall could only accommodate up to 30 cats. If more people entered, there would be no space for them to stand. Fang Ziyu cleared up half of the storage room for pet necessities and food and settled the remaining twelve cats. After that, there were still 22 dogs that had nowhere to go. Only the bathroom for bathing the pets on the first floor was empty, but this place couldn¡¯t be occupied. There was immediately no place to put the pets. It wasn¡¯t that Fang Ziyu had not made sufficient preparations, but he had miscalculated the number of potential pets that the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base had. Feeling helpless, Fang Ziyu could only go to the opposite store and find Xiao Bai, who was planting fresh flowers in the backyard. ¡°Rent one floor of your house to me. Just offer me the normal price. My store doesn¡¯t have enough space for all the pets.¡± Fang Ziyu said as he looked at Xiao Bai who had mud in his hands. Xiao Bai had been planting flowers in the backyard and did not know that Fang Ziyu had gotten himself a large batch of pets. ¡°You actually bought more than 60 pets in one go, and they are even cats and dogs. Aren¡¯t you not selling cats and dogs?¡± After Xiao Bai found out, he sized up Fang Ziyu in disbelief. ¡°Special treatment during special times. I can¡¯t be bothered to talk to you. Quickly wash your hands and find me some rooms.¡± Fang Ziyu rolled his eyes and urged. Fang Ziyu¡¯s shop only had two floors and it was rented. Xiao Bai¡¯s shop was different. His shop was his own and it was six floors high. Despite the fact that the guy was running a florist store, he actually had two other houses. Notice that he had two. And all of them belonged to him alone. His parents were in an accident years ago, and he had inherited all these. If not for the fact that the guy had a fondness for flowers, Fang Ziyu probably would not have known him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll find you a few empty rooms.¡± Xiao Bai nodded. With a place to store the pets, Fang Ziyu rearranged the pets in the shop. There were 20 cats and 10 dogs in the shop. The rest were placed in the house that he rented from Xiao Bai. Of course, the six pets with a Level 3 potential and the one with a Level 4 potential were all kept in his shop. These were all Fang Ziyu¡¯s moneymakers. He definitely had to treat them like his masters.. Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the transport truck left, Fang Ziyu started to clean up the shop and take care of his pets. After the pets were transported and went to a new environment, it was inevitable that they would have some stress reactions. The less serious ones would be mentally unsound, while the more serious ones would vomit and have diarrhea. Although these pets had all undergone mutation and their physical fitness was much better than ordinary pets, they were still mostly kittens and puppies after all. Although they did not vomit, there were still quite a number of them who had diarrhea. Fang Ziyu had to take care of them one by one. Not only did he have to clean the cages and clean up the poop, but he also had to feed them food and water. Suddenly, with so many pets to take care of, he was really too busy. He even had thoughts of hiring an employee. However, after thinking for a while, he decided to forget about it. He bought so many pets this time because the Summoner School was about to start recruiting people and many people urgently needed pets with potential. Besides, he only did this to trick the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base. After this, he would definitely not buy so many pets. This was not his main job. Selling pets had always been his side business. ¡°Meow¡­¡± The skinny and young Level 4 Hidden Cat huddled in a corner of the cage. It looked at Fang Ziyu with its pitiful green eyes and let out a weak cry. ¡°It¡¯s alright, kitty. I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± Fang Ziyu said softly. He wanted to reach out and touch this little fellow. He must admit that a magical creature like a cat was just as adorable no matter what state it was in, as if every cell in its body was evolving in an adorable manner. ¡°Meow¡­¡± The American Shorthair was even more afraid. Its body crouched into a small ball and its white whiskers became straight, as if Fang Ziyu was a weird man who ate cats. ¡°I¡¯m not ugly. What are you afraid of? I¡¯m not even this gentle when talking to the ladies.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at the little American Shorthair speechlessly. It shrunk even smaller, as if it was using its actions to tell Fang Ziyu he was ugly. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Can you shrink even smaller? Feeling helpless, Fang Ziyu could only invite Icy, who was watching cartoons, to be the interpreter. The interpretation fee was three ice-creams. Why had his status as the store manager and owner become lower and lower since there were more pets in the store? Fang Ziyu thought gloomily. Even when he was bathing Yellow yesterday, it only let him do so obediently after he promised it three boxes of dried fish. ¡°Ahwooh! Hurry up and tell me what you want to say. I still have to go watch Ash Ketchum¡¯s Charizard evolve.¡± Icy flapped its wings impatiently. ¡°What did it say just now?¡± Fang Ziyu asked. ¡°It said it wanted its mother and asked you not to touch it. It also said¡­ you¡¯re ugly.¡± Icy translated straightforwardly. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Ahwooh ~ Don¡¯t look so surprised. Actually, from my aesthetic point of view, you¡¯re also very ugly.¡± Icy rolled its eyes. ¡°It doesn¡¯t have a name. Ask it what name it wants and I¡¯ll give it one,¡± Fang Ziyu said. He didn¡¯t hear what Icy said. Right, he just didn¡¯t hear it. ¡°Ahwooh! Why didn¡¯t you ask me what name I wanted?¡± Icy was jealous. Did I not ask? I gave you so many names, but you ignored me arrogantly, okay? Fang Ziyu was very tired in his mind, but he couldn¡¯t argue with Icy. ¡°What name do you want? I¡¯ll change it for you.¡± ¡°No need. Just buy ten ice creams to compensate for me.¡± Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s your purpose, isn¡¯t it?¡¯ Through communication, Fang Ziyu found out that this American Shorthair wanted a beautiful and unique name, but he couldn¡¯t think of one. However, Fang Ziyu wanted to keep this Level 4 American Shorthair, which could become invisible, as his contract pet. Now that he was halfway through building a good relationship with it, how could he give up? So, after racking his brains again and again, Fang Ziyu finally thought of a name. ¡°How about Daiyu? Special and beautiful.¡± This American Shorthair was a female. Fang Ziyu felt that the name Daiyu was quite good. The kitten lifted its head and walked elegantly on the spot, looking deep in thought. At last, it nodded, approving of the name. ¡°Daiyu, I¡¯ll put you together with your sister. Don¡¯t cause any trouble.¡± Fang Ziyu said gently. It seemed that through Icy¡¯s interpretation, Daiyu had become a little closer to Fang Ziyu. Seeing Fang Ziyu place his hand there, it raised its paw and lowered it again. After hesitating for a while, it timidly walked over with graceful little steps. Fang Ziyu picked it up and wanted to touch it, but he was afraid of scaring it, so he could only restrain himself. He placed Daiyu and its sister together, and put their cage on the second floor. He had gotten Yellow¡¯s promise of not bullying them with the dried fish. After that, Fang Ziyu went to Xiao Bai¡¯s store to take care of the pets there. He cleaned up the cat litter and set a timer on the feeding device and water dispenser. And now, he finally settled the pets. Fang Ziyu¡¯s back was aching as he returned to the pet shop. However, he realized that there was a person in the shop. It was a woman with long legs, thin waist, big breasts and fair skin. Behind her was a black and white cat with a pair of feathered wings. This cat was very special. Its back, head, and ears were all pure black, while its belly, neck, mouth, and paws were all pure white. Its wings were pure black and white respectively as well. ¡°Ahwoo!¡± At the moment, the woman was playing with Icy. However, Icy didn¡¯t please her and just sat on the counter, ignoring her. The woman¡¯s pet cat was very unhappy with Icy. That despicable bastard had stolen its master¡¯s attention. The woman noticed Fang Ziyu and turned around to reveal a beautiful face. She first stared at Fang Ziyu before saying in pleasant surprise, ¡°That¡¯s right. Looks like you¡¯re the store manager. Hello, I¡¯m Li Huiting. I¡¯m here to consult you about mutated pets.¡± This woman was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with cartoon bear patterns on it, and a pair of blue jeans that showed her voluptuous curves and slender legs. ¡°How do you know me?¡± Fang Ziyu asked expressionlessly. Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu strangely and said, ¡°The Rise of Spiritual Energy Forum, haven¡¯t you paid attention to the post you posted? You and your Level 2 dragon are super popular now.¡± Fang Ziyu hadn¡¯t been looking at the discussion forum after replying yesterday. He was focused on preparing to trick the Ocean Pet Cultivation Base. He also made a call to order a batch of cat food and corresponding tools and tidied up the house, so he didn¡¯t have time to bother about the discussion on the forum. Upon hearing Li Huiting¡¯s words, Fang Ziyu lowered his head and took out his phone to go on the forum, seeing his post. ¡°Oh my god, he¡¯s here. Someone at the scene.¡± ¡°The post starter is awesome. He¡¯s actually someone who was involved in the incident at Xin¡¯an Park. I heard that there were some Level 4 Chaotic Monsters.¡± ¡°Oh my god, this dragon is so cute. I want to kiss it, hug it, and lift it up.¡± ¡°Agreed.¡± ¡°Awww¡­ A Level 2 pet.¡± ¡°One punch, one Crying Monster. I¡¯m a little interested in the post starter¡¯s pet store now. Does anyone want to give it a try together?¡± ¡­ ¡°My Kun, where are you? Stop scolding the Kun. I really don¡¯t have time to like it.¡± ¡°Bury the allies!¡± ¡°I¡¯m giving him a thumbs up.¡± ¡­ ¡°Support.¡± ¡°Ooh!¡± ¡°Brothers and sisters who are nearby, go and take a look first. Go to see how the post starter¡¯s pet store is. Can we really consult him about mutated pets?¡± Then, a photo appeared. It was a selfie of Li Huiting carrying Icy in the pet shop. ¡°I¡¯ve already come to the pet store. The store owner isn¡¯t around for the time being, but there are a lot of mutated pets. The store looks very clean. Overall, it¡¯s not bad.¡± Seeing the picture of the pretty girl, the comments surged like crazy. ¡°Wow, pretty lady, you¡¯re so beautiful. Can I have you?¡± ¡°Get lost! She¡¯s my wife.¡± ¡°I also want her¡­¡± ¡°Hm, she¡¯s on my phone, so she¡¯s mind¡­¡± ¡°Hm? Why did my girlfriend go to a pet shop?¡± ¡°Bro, eat something¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°Hey, is no one paying attention to the pet shop? Just asking¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°I really want to become this dragon¡­¡± ¡°I wish so! My life is even inferior to that of a dragon. I¡¯m crying¡­¡± The moment they saw the pretty girl, they were immediately distracted. The pet store in front of the pretty girl had long been forgotten by these idiotic netizens. Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± Am I not pretty? Why is the store owner¡¯s first reaction to look at his phone instead of talking to me? Chapter 20 - Yin Yang Cat Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Hum, a bunch of bootlickers. Fang Ziyu cursed and turned off his phone. ¡°I¡¯m the store owner, Fang Ziyu. What do you need? Do you want to buy a pet or consult about pets?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting and said. He was expressionless and he thought to himself that he would not be like those bootlickers. ¡°What can I consult you about? Are there any pets with a high potential in this store?¡± Li Huiting asked. ¡°The pet with the highest potential is at Level 3. Do you want to buy it?¡± Fang Ziyu glanced at Li Huiting and continued, ¡°If you want to consult me, I can answer all the questions regarding the evolution of pets. However, there is a fee.¡± Li Huiting certainly didn¡¯t believe Fang Ziyu when he said that he had a pet with a Level 3 potential. There was no way for him to prove it now anyway. She took it as Fang Ziyu bluffing. After all, it wasn¡¯t strange for a business to boast. ¡°I want to consult you about my pet. You said on the forum that you can help a pet evolve. Is that true?¡± Li Huiting asked. She certainly didn¡¯t really believe it. However, she felt that Fang Ziyu was a little reliable after reading the post, so she wanted to come over and take a look. Even if she didn¡¯t find anything, it would be good to come to see this adorable pet, Icy. ¡°Yes, this is my Summoner ability. Let me touch your pet and I will be able to sense what it needs to evolve.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. His intuition told him that this kitten with black and white wings wasn¡¯t simple. After Li Huiting heard this, she gave up teasing Icy. The black and white cat that had been jealous for a long time then ran into her arms. Then, it bounced back. Li Huiting hugged the cat and caressed it gently before passing it to Fang Ziyu. The black and white cat looked at Fang Ziyu with some disdain, unwilling to let Fang Ziyu touch it. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± I swear that even though I¡¯m not very handsome, I¡¯m not ugly. ¡°Mo Bao, be good. I¡¯ll buy you some dried fish later,¡± Li Huiting chuckled and said. With a look of reluctance, the black and white cat reached out its paw and placed it on Fang Ziyu¡¯s hand. Then, it looked at Fang Ziyu with its pair of round green eyes. ¡°Meow¡­¡± Didn¡¯t you say you just need to touch me? Now that you¡¯ve touched my paw, you can start your performance. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± As expected, regardless of whether people were poor or rich, the cats always looked down on them. They judged people by their appearance. This was the evil era of judging a book by its cover. He initiated his detection ability and the information panel appeared. Spirit Species: Yin Yang Cat Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 9 Properties: Mysterious, Light, Darkness Skill: Inverting black and white (Description: When it¡¯s under any elemental attack from Spirits of the same or a lower level, it can bounce it back 100%.) Suppression: Any Elemental Attack Pet Evolution Potential: Level 5 Evolution Pathway: Dark Cat Although Fang Ziyu was already prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the information. Its skill was too terrifying. It could truly be considered as invincible among its elemental-type peers. Even if Icy used its elemental attacks, it was no match for this cat. ¡°How is it? Do you see anything?¡± Li Huiting asked with a smile. The moment she said that, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate. She quickly said, ¡°My cat is a little special. It¡¯s not surprising if you can¡¯t see anything. Many people can¡¯t.¡± She was only here to play and look at this cute little dragon. Even if Fang Ziyu was lying, there was no need to expose him in front of everyone. Everyone had their own means of survival. Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting and nodded. ¡°Your pet is indeed very special. Not only is it immune to elemental attacks, but it can also bounce back the attacks 100%, right?¡± This time, it was Li Huiting who was shocked. She took a deep breath and looked at Fang Ziyu in disbelief. ¡°Huh? How did you know that? Did you really detect it?¡± Li Huiting was certain that she had never seen Fang Ziyu before, and she hadn¡¯t shown Mo Bao¡¯s skill in front of others many times. ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? If I didn¡¯t detect it, how would I know? I even know that this arrogant cat is only nine months old.¡± Fang Ziyu rolled his eyes. If he had to tell her more detailed information, he even knew what it ate in the afternoon. ¡°Do you want to know the evolution materials it needs? The materials I tell you guarantee an 80% success rate in evolution.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting and said. ¡°Yes, of course. If it can evolve to Level 2, the Summoner School will definitely recruit me into the advanced class. How much is the consultation fee?¡± Li Huiting jumped happily. She only came here for fun. She had never thought she would be so lucky. Fang Ziyu¡¯s eyelids twitched. The scene was a little beautiful, but he, Fang Ziyu, could not be a bootlicker. ¡°The consultation fee is 20,000 or a Level 2 Chaotic Monster¡¯s core.¡± ¡°So expensive?¡± Li Yating was surprised and showed a cute look. ¡°Can¡¯t it be cheaper?¡± It was much easier for a pretty girl to use her coquettishness and cuteness to bargain than using her words. ¡°No way, not one cent less.¡± Fang Ziyu turned around and hugged Icy as he laid on the recliner. He looked at Li Huiting and said, ¡°Do you think you can find another person like me and another small shop like mine?¡± Compared to the price of a Level 2 pet, the price Fang Ziyu requested wasn¡¯t expensive at all. Seeing that her attempt at acting cute for a discount failed, Li Huiting complained about Fang Ziyu for being a stubborn man in her mind and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first. Tell me the evolution materials, and I¡¯ll go buy them right now. Then, I¡¯ll evolve Mo Bao here. If it succeeds, I¡¯ll pay you the rest. What do you think? After all, I don¡¯t know if what you said is true or not.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Fang Ziyu put Icy, who still had the smell of perfume on it, aside and said. ¡°Awhoo ~ This woman is really annoying. She kept trying to touch me. Am I something she can touch?¡± Icy looked at Li Huiting, who had left, and shouted. ¡°Its evolution materials are the core of the Level 3 Chaotic Monster, Cuttlefish, the core of the Level 3 Chaotic Monster, Sun Carp, a Level 2 mutated epiphyllum, and a Level 2 mutated sunflower. Add me on WeChat and I¡¯ll send you the pictures.¡± Fang Ziyu said. When Li Huiting added Fang Ziyu¡¯s WeChat, Fang Ziyu took a photo of Mo Bao and was planning to make a Spirit Card later. After receiving the pictures Fang Ziyu sent her, Li Huiting rushed to the Mutated Plants and Cores Market with Mo Bao. Although the mutated plants that could increase people¡¯s Spiritual Power were priceless, there were still quite a lot of cores of the Chaotic Monsters and mutated plants for pets in the market. The Yin Yang Cat with a Level 5 potential could make a top Precious Spirit Card. After the Spirit Card was successfully made, Fang Ziyu obtained 50 Handbook Points. In addition to the ones he got before, he now had a total of 100 Handbook Points. He hadn¡¯t made Spirit Cards with any of the pets with potential in the pet shop yet, so he hadn¡¯t received any Handbook Points. After a while, Li Huiting returned with a small backpack, drenched in sweat.. Chapter 21 - Isnt It Good to be Single? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Fang Ziyu, I went to several markets and bought all the materials,¡± Li Huiting said as she shook the small backpack in her hand. Fang Ziyu took the small backpack and said, ¡°There¡¯s a water dispenser over there. Drink some water and adjust your and Mo Bao¡¯s condition.¡± There was no special environment requirement for the Yin Yang Cat¡¯s evolution. As long as the materials and magic powers were sufficient, it would be able to evolve. When the Yin Yang Cat¡¯s magic power reached Level 9, the evolution requirements would naturally be fulfilled. In fact, it had been so long since the rise of Spiritual Energy. The magic power of many pets with a Level 1 potential had reached the peak. It was just that they couldn¡¯t evolve without evolution materials. Of course, it wasn¡¯t impossible. Pets could evolve after growing for a few years by themselves. As long as they had enough potential, they would be able to evolve naturally. However, this took too long. Advancing from Level 1 to Level 2 might take a few years, and advancing from Level 2 to Level 3 might take ten years. People couldn¡¯t wait that long at all with their lifespans. To prevent other pets from affecting the evolution of Mo Bao, the pet bathroom was chosen as the evolution venue. He put the Yin Yang Cat on the ground and placed the cores and the mutated plants into four new cat bowls. ¡°Meow, meow?¡± Mo Bao meowed and looked at Fang Ziyu with an innocent gaze. How could it eat a Chaotic Monster¡¯s core that was bigger than its mouth? Wasn¡¯t he deliberately making things difficult for it? ¡°Control the energy in your body and break the core before eating it. If it really can¡¯t do it, Li Huiting, you can find a hammer to smash the core, so the cat can eat it.¡± Fang Ziyu said after thinking for a while. The Yin Yang Cat: ¡°¡­¡± Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± The wonderful feeling of evolution was gone. In the end, the Yin Yang Cat spat out some energy and ground the cores into pieces. Then, it ate the two mutated plants lifelessly. The plants were mutated from epiphyllum and sunflower, so they were certainly bitter. Seeing that the Yin Yang Cat finished the mutated plants, Li Huiting looked at it nervously. Ten minutes later, nothing happened. ¡°Did it fail? Is Mo Bao alright?¡± Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu and asked nervously. Fang Ziyu caressed the head of the Yin Yang Cat. Spirit Species: Yin Yang Cat Gender: ¡á Level: Level 2 Magic Power: 10 Properties: Mysterious, Light, Darkness Skills: Inverting Black and White (Description: When it¡¯s under any elemental attack from Spirits of the same or a lower level, it can bounce it back 100%.) Black and White Cat Eye (Description: When initiated, the white cat eye can rapidly replenish its magic power during the day while the black cat eye can replenish its magic power at night.) Suppression: Any Elemental Attack Pet Evolution Potential: Level 5 Evolution Pathway: Dark Cat ¡°No, it has already evolved successfully. It is now a Level 2 pet,¡± said Fang Ziyu. He was somewhat envious of this Yin Yang Cat. ¡°It worked?¡± Li Huiting asked. ¡°Are you trying to ask why nothing happened?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting. Li Huiting nodded. ¡°Who said that something must happen when a pet evolves? If you don¡¯t believe me, you can communicate with it yourself.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head. ¡°You are someone deeply influenced by cartoons. ¡°Quickly settle the rest of the payment,¡± Fang Ziyu said and walked out of the bathroom. If word got out that they were in the bathroom together, it would not be good for him. Fang Ziyu had just laid down on the recliner and was thinking that he might not be able to get the core of the Level 4 queen bug when Li Huiting rushed out with the Yin Yang Cat in her arms. Li Huiting excitedly grabbed Fang Ziyu¡¯s arm and shook it as she exclaimed happily, ¡°You¡¯re awesome, you¡¯re truly awesome. My pet has really evolved, really evolved¡­¡± Fang Ziyu silently flung her hands off. ¡°Stop it. It¡¯s improper for a man and a woman to touch each other. Quickly settle the payment before talking about something else.¡± Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± Hearing about the payment, Li Huiting suddenly quieted down and revealed a bashful smile. ¡°Well, Fang Ziyu¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Fang Ziyu stood up and looked at her. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t have enough money.¡± Li Huiting nodded shyly. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. It¡¯s impossible to go back on your word in front of me.¡± Fang Ziyu looked like he was going to look for her parents if she didn¡¯t pay. ¡°Those Level 3 cores cost 150,000 and 130,000 respectively. In addition to the two mutated plants that cost 100,000, I spent a total of 370,000. I¡¯ve spent all my money. I really don¡¯t have money now. What about I bring it to you tomorrow?¡± Li Huiting stuck out her tongue and said. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Listen to you. Should these words be spoken by a human? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t go back on my word. If you¡¯re really worried, I can work for you to pay off my debts. Look how many pets you have in your shop. You won¡¯t be able to handle them all by yourself, right? I¡¯ll work to pay off my debts. I¡¯m very obedient and capable.¡± Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu and said weakly. She indeed did not have any money with her right now, but it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to get 10,000 yuan after she made a call. However, she actually wanted to stay here longer. ¡°No, I don¡¯t need any employees in my shop. Hurry up and think of a way to return the money. Otherwise, I¡¯ll call the police.¡± When it came to money, Fang Ziyu refused to compromise. Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t tell you want to ride my coattails? That¡¯s impossible. Give up. Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu, who could not be bothered to look at her. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± After a long silence, Fang Ziyu asked, ¡°Do you want to stay in the shop and work to pay off your debts?¡± Li Huiting nodded. ¡°Monthly salary is 1,000 yuan. Do you accept it?¡± Li Huiting shook her head. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too low? Even a Level 1 core is more expensive than this.¡± ¡°Hello, 110 call center¡­¡± Fang Ziyu picked up the phone. ¡°No, no, no.¡± Li Huiting stood up and snatched the phone. She saw that Fang Ziyu was really going to call the police. ¡°One thousand it is. I¡¯ll accept that.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t even said that it¡¯s my loss.¡± Fang Ziyu took the phone over and said, ¡°Let me be straight. You can work here, but don¡¯t think of reneging on the deal. You must pay me back the money that you should have.¡± ¡°Okay, I agree with that.¡± Li Huiting nodded happily. ¡°I¡¯m not done yet. I¡¯m only signing a one-month contract with you right now. I¡¯ll decide if I want to hire you in the future. ¡°Meals and accommodation aren¡¯t included. I¡¯ll not do any consultations regarding the evolution of your pet before you pay me back the money. ¡°Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting and said. Fang Ziyu originally didn¡¯t intend to hire anyone, although he was a little busy. However, since there was a free coolie here, it would be a waste not to use her. Li Huiting wanted to ride his coattails, and he wanted free labor. Everyone would benefit from each other, and it would depend on who was more skillful. ¡°Wow, I bet you definitely don¡¯t have a girlfriend,¡± Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu and said firmly. She had never seen such a shameless person. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to be single?¡± Fang Ziyu sneered and did not mind at all. Although I¡¯m single, I have a whole lot of women to myself.. Chapter 22 - Samoyed Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Well, since you¡¯re already an employee of this store, I¡¯ll arrange for you to work every day. Firstly, you¡¯ll have to clean up the store every morning and evening. Then, clean the litter for the cats and dogs, and feed them food and water.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting and said, ¡°Hm, that¡¯s all you have to do.¡± Li Huiting nodded. She could do all these jobs. They weren¡¯t difficult to do. She looked at Fang Ziyu. ¡°Then, what will you do?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll watch you work.¡± Fang Ziyu glanced at her, as if he didn¡¯t understand why she would ask such a question. Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± How blunt. ¡°As the store manager, I certainly have a lot of work every day. I have more important things to handle.¡± Fang Ziyu coughed and said. I don¡¯t believe you. Li Huiting glanced at Fang Ziyu and picked up her tools to clean up. Looking at Li Huiting who was cleaning the cat litter with a small shovel, Fang Ziyu took out his phone and took a photo of her working, then copied it to the post. ¡°Well, I have to tell you something. She¡¯s the employee of my pet store now. And she volunteered to work here.¡± Fang Ziyu left the forum after posting this remark and photo. Poor bootlickers, shout with rage. At that moment, someone came to the shop again. There were four people in total. The people in front were the couple, who came yesterday to buy a pet, and their daughter, Qiqi. Behind them was Officer Feng, whom Fang Ziyu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Officer Feng holding a box in his hand, he was delighted. He thought that the thing he had been waiting for the entire day had finally arrived. Fang Ziyu stood up and greeted him with a smile, ¡°Hello, Officer Feng.¡± ¡°Alright. Go and serve your customers first. I have nothing to do later.¡± Officer Feng waved his hand and said with a smile. Then, he sat on the side by himself. ¡°Thank you for your understanding, Officer. Please take a seat.¡± Fang Ziyu smiled and said, ¡°Li Huiting, help me pour a cup of water for Officer Feng. Thank you.¡± Walking towards Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, Fang Ziyu revealed a smile and said, ¡°These new pets I bought are very cute. Besides, they have very good potential. Do you want to choose one yourselves or should I recommend one to you?¡± The middle-aged Mr. Zhang looked at Fang Ziyu and asked, ¡°Which pet has the best potential in your shop?¡± ¡°There are six pets with the best potential in my store, three dogs and three cats. They all have a Level 3 potential. If you want the one with the best potential, I recommend this Alaskan Malamute. Not only is it at Level 3, but it also has a rare ability of the electric property.¡± Fang Ziyu walked to a cage and pointed at the Alaskan Malamute, which was entertaining itself inside. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a husky?¡± Qiqi said, looking at the Alaskan Malamute. ¡°No, this is an Alaskan Malamute. Although it¡¯s one of the three most foolish sled dogs, Alaskan Malamute is obviously bigger than a Husky, and it has long fur, while a Husky has short fur. Also, an Alaskan Malamute¡¯s eyes are usually brown or almond-colored while a Husky¡¯s are blue. Since it¡¯s just a puppy, people who don¡¯t know about them won¡¯t be able to identify it.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and explained. In terms of appearance, Fang Ziyu preferred Alaskan Malamute more. Qiqi walked to the front and looked at the Alaskan Malamute. The Alaskan Malamute immediately acted cute and stuck out its tongue to lick Qiqi¡¯s little hands, making her laugh non-stop. Dogs weren¡¯t like cats. Most of them were enthusiastic and obedient and they especially enjoyed playing with others. Since Mr. Zhang and his wife saw that their daughter was having fun and the dog was indeed very cute, they had the urge to buy it. They asked, ¡°How much is this dog?¡± ¡°100,000.¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°What? 100,000 yuan?¡± Hearing this price, the couple thought they had heard it wrongly and they asked at the same time. 100,000 yuan for a dog. Was he crazy about money? Even Officer Feng and Li Huiting ran over when they heard that. The price was indeed too expensive. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s 100,000 yuan.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and said, ¡°This is a purebred Alaskan Malamute. Furthermore, I can guarantee that it definitely has a Level 3 potential. Nowadays, the cheapest Level 3 core in the market already costs more than 100,000 yuan. My rare electric-type Alaska is definitely not expensive at 100,000 yuan. ¡°If you buy a few other Level 3 pets with potential, I can reduce the price by ten to twenty thousand.¡± Fang Ziyu said. He was a businessman. He got the dog at a low price because of his own ability. So, he certainly wouldn¡¯t sell it at such a cheap price. Furthermore, his price could definitely be considered a good deal in the market. Officer Feng took out the detector that he always carried with him. After checking the Alaskan Malamute¡¯s potential, he nodded and said, ¡°It does have a Level 3 potential. This is a detector that is about to be released on the market. The fault tolerance rate is one in ten thousand. If it¡¯s even an electric-type pet, then this is a reasonable price.¡± Li Huiting nodded as well. Looking at the Alaskan Malamute, she had never expected it to be worth so much money. Fang Ziyu made hay while the sun shone. He said, ¡°It just so happens that Officer Feng has a detector with him. Even if you don¡¯t buy this Alaskan Malamute, you can still buy other pets. These are all pets that I have carefully selected. I guarantee that they are all of the best quality. You should be planning to send your daughter to the Summoner School, right? A good pet can definitely give her a head start.¡± The couple was convinced by Fang Ziyu. Indeed, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being deceived as the police officer had the detector with him. Although it was a little expensive, it was indeed a pet with potential. ¡°How much does a pet with a Level 2 potential cost?¡± The couple asked again. ¡°Ten to thirty thousand.¡± Fang Ziyu said. The couple nodded. They could still afford this price while gritting their teeth. ¡°Qiqi, what kind of pet do you want? A cat or a dog?¡± Qiqi¡¯s father looked at her and said as he caressed her face. ¡°I want a dog, one that¡¯s similar to this one.¡± Qiqi heard her parents¡¯ conversation with Fang Ziyu just now and knew that the Alaskan Malamute was too expensive. So, although she liked it very much, she was so obedient that she didn¡¯t ask for this dog anymore. Qiqi¡¯s parents felt warmth in their hearts when they heard this. They even wanted to grit their teeth and buy this dog, but the Alaskan Malamute was really too expensive. They couldn¡¯t afford it even with the 70% discount that Fang Ziyu promised them. ¡°If you want a similar one, I recommend this Samoyed. It¡¯s also one of the most foolish sled dogs. This dog is obedient, cute, and very suitable for children. Its mutation ability has the ice property. It¡¯s a very good pet,¡± Fang Ziyu recommended. ¡°That¡¯s right. Samoyed has the title of Smiling Angel. It has a gentle nature, is loyal to its owner, and is adaptable. It¡¯s full of vigor, is friendly to others, and doesn¡¯t have a strong offensive nature. It¡¯s very suitable to be a pet for children.¡± Li Huiting nodded in agreement. Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting curiously. She actually knew about this. She was quite something. Qiqi looked at the smiling Samoyed that was jumping around in the cage and acting cute. Her disappointment of not being able to buy the Alaskan Malamute instantly disappeared. She looked at her parents and said, ¡°Daddy, Mommy, I want this dog.¡± ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll buy this Samoyed.¡± The couple looked at Fang Ziyu and said. ¡°After I give you guys a 30% discount, it will be 14,000 yuan. This is the 30% discount I promised you yesterday.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and said. ¡°By the way, do you have a leash, a bed, dog food, teething sticks, dog bowls and automatic feeding devices? If you don¡¯t, I have them in my shop. These are all pretty good stuff that I picked.¡± Fang Ziyu immediately started promoting these dog products as soon as he sold the dog. The couple had already bought the dog, so they couldn¡¯t be bothered to find other places to buy these supplies. They directly bought everything here. Fang Ziyu earned 16,000 yuan for the store all at once and he could get more than 12,000 yuan. Of course, if he hadn¡¯t bought the dogs at a low price, he would not have earned so much. ¡°This dog has mutated and is very healthy. Normally, it shouldn¡¯t have any stress response after you take it home, but if there is, don¡¯t panic. It will be fine in two days. ¡°Also, although this is a mutated pet dog, it can¡¯t eat food like scallions, garlic, chili, chocolate. For more detail, you can just go to Qiandu to search for it. ¡°Samoyed is a long-haired dog. You have to brush its fur every morning and night. The exact method is also available in Qiandu. ¡° After telling the middle-aged woman what to take note of, Fang Ziyu looked at Qiqi who was holding the Samoyed¡¯s leash and said, ¡°Qiqi, all dogs are very obedient. As long as you treat it well and make it feel that you are a qualified owner, it¡¯ll be very easy for you to contract it. If you can successfully contract it without any help, I will give you dog food and dog toys the next time you come to my shop.¡± Pets weren¡¯t tools. They were the best friends of humans. Fang Ziyu hoped that all the pets sold from his shop could have a good home. When Qiqi heard this, she nodded and said, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely get the dog¡¯s approval. By them, don¡¯t go back on your words.¡± ¡°No. I will only give you dog food if you call me Brother.¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°Brother, we¡¯re leaving now.¡± Qiqi held the Samoyed and waved as she left with her parents. After sending the three of them off, Fang Ziyu revealed a smile. He was very happy to have sold a dog. Officer Feng patted Fang Ziyu¡¯s shoulder and praised him with a smile. ¡°Not bad.¡± Fang Ziyu smiled. He was only doing his job. There was nothing to be proud of.. Chapter 23 - Hm, Ill Start Paying From Now On Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Officer Feng glanced at Fang Ziyu and thought that this kid was indeed hiding something when he gave a statement. He didn¡¯t say that he could detect the potential of pets at all. Officer Feng walked over to the table and sat down. He opened the box on the table and pushed it in front of Fang Ziyu as he said, ¡°Inside is the core of the Level 4 Double Sucker Worm.¡± He smiled wryly and said, ¡°Originally, the guardian wanted to give you everything, but the Firebird refused. So, I can only give you the core. The corpse has already been roasted and eaten by the Firebird.¡± There was a blood-red core the size of a thumb lying in the box. It wasn¡¯t smooth, and there seemed to be a layer of scales on the surface, which was very uneven. All the cores were more or less the same. They weren¡¯t balls and they only differed in size. It was said that when looking at the cross-section, these uneven scales all had some blood vessels and meridians in them. ¡°Haha, I didn¡¯t really help, but I¡¯m taking the core, the most important part. I really feel sorry.¡± Fang Ziyu put away the core as he spoke. Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± Officer Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Officer Feng burst into laughter as he took out a folder and placed a card as big as his identification card and a business permit on the table. ¡°This is your identification card. Since I was coming over, I brought it here for you. ¡°The government website has announced that the Summoner School will start recruiting students in September. The Spirit Research Institute is also hiring. Are you interested?¡± Officer Feng gave another invitation. ¡°As you know, mankind is facing the threat of Chaotic Monsters. With you joining the research institute, humans will definitely be able to stand firm.¡± ¡°No, I still want to run my pet shop. Officer Feng, if you have any questions regarding the evolution of pets, you can come to my shop. I will state the prices clearly.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head seriously. Besides, as far as he knew, humans were rarely threatened by a large group of Chaotic Monsters. In areas that were heavily modified by humans like the cities, there was no Spiritual Energy at all and there were also very few mutated plants. The Chaotic Monsters were all busy fighting over mutated plants in the wilderness and eating their own kind. They weren¡¯t interested in human cities at all. Only a small number of Chaotic Monsters that were goofing around or those around the cities would occasionally run inside. Humans could easily deal with them. Although the Spiritual Power in a human¡¯s body could also allow the Chaotic Monsters to evolve, humans were still too weak at the moment and had too little Spiritual Power in their bodies. The powerful Chaotic Monsters didn¡¯t even bother to come to them, while the weak ones were no match for humans. The main threat that mankind faced would only come after the finest Chaotic Monsters eliminated the weak ones in the wilderness. However, when the time came, humans would also have grown. It was still uncertain who would win. In other words, only small towns along the coast and in the wilderness would be facing a huge threat. In addition, traveling between cities would become difficult. Nothing else would happen. Humans, on the other hand, had been rushing into the wilderness for mutated plants and pets with great potential. To Fang Ziyu, it was good to develop according to his own plan. It was good to be free and unrestrained. He would not fall for it. Moreover, he didn¡¯t hide his ability. He was willing to use his ability to contribute to the country, but he preferred freedom. Upon hearing Fang Ziyu¡¯s words, Officer Feng smiled bitterly and stood up. ¡°Alright, if you want to go, tell me and I¡¯ll refer you.¡± ¡°Alright. Goodbye, Officer.¡± Fang Ziyu stood up to send Officer Feng off. After Officer Feng left, only Li Huiting and Fang Ziyu were left in the shop. Looking at the Level 4 core on the table, Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu curiously and asked, ¡°What exactly happened in Xin¡¯an Park? Were you the one who killed the Level 4 Queen Double Sucker Worm?¡± The outside world only knew that the problem at Xin¡¯an Park had been solved, but they didn¡¯t know the details. Li Huiting became curious about what had happened when she saw the Level 4 core. Fang Ziyu ignored her and went upstairs with the core. ¡°Your job is to take good care of the shop right now.¡± Li Huiting: ¡°I¡­¡± Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath and restrained herself. She took out her phone and looked at how she looked. ¡­ ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Fang Ziyu went upstairs and closed the door. Daiyu let out a cry to Fang Ziyu when it saw him. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t close the door of its cage. At this moment, Daiyu and its sister were resting in a small box. Fang Ziyu woke it. ¡°Continue sleeping. I¡¯m just getting something.¡± Fang Ziyu said and entered the bedroom. A notification popped up immediately when he opened the game. Game Reminder: Do you want to submit the core of the Level 4 Double Sucker Worm and unlock the game level-up mission? Fang Ziyu chose yes. He currently had no use for this Level 4 core anyway. Other than selling it for money, there was nothing else he could do with it. The core in his hand turned into energy and entered his phone. Game Level-Up Mission: Obtain cores of five Chaotic Monsters. ¡°Five¡­ Five Level 3 cores? Why don¡¯t you go and snatch them?¡± Fang Ziyu was stunned and had the urge to throw his phone away. The cheapest Level 3 core cost 100,000 yuan, and five of them would cost 500,000 yuan. ¡°I have to sell half of my pets to earn 500,000 yuan. How can I pay so much money in one go? That¡¯s impossible. It¡¯s impossible in my entire life. Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t advance to Level 2. It¡¯s only that my Level 4 core will be wasted¡­¡± Fang Ziyu muttered with dissatisfaction. He was planning to save money to buy mutated plants that could increase his Spiritual Power. At this moment, new notifications popped up in the game. Game Reminder: There are many benefits for players to level up in the game. A new module, ¡°Road to Power¡± will be unlocked at Level 2. Every Spirit has their own unique characteristics. ¡°Road to Power¡± will provide the most suitable path for every Spirit to become stronger. Game Reminder: As the player advances to a higher level, more and more modules will be unlocked. Other modules that can increase the Summoner¡¯s Spiritual Power, combat power, and so on, will be revealed one by one. Fang Ziyu looked at the notifications that popped up on his phone and did not say anything. He had long suspected that this game had intelligence, but the game had never responded to his questions. Game Reminder: If the player doesn¡¯t advance to the next level after a long time, the game will automatically be deleted (29 days, 23 hours, 59 seconds, 58 seconds, 57 seconds, 56 seconds¡­) Fang Ziyu widened his eyes. Is it threatening me? I certainly¡­ would rather die than submit. Looking at the 30-day countdown in the brackets, Fang Ziyu smiled and nodded. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just spending 500,000 yuan? It¡¯s no big deal! From today onwards, I¡¯m going to become a glorious RMB player¡­¡± For some reason, when Fang Ziyu said this, he felt a faint pain in his heart. Fang Ziyu put his phone in his pocket and went downstairs with a heavy but joyful heart. Someone seemed to have forgotten his last bit of stubbornness. He had forgotten that he once said he would never yield to a certain game and had abandoned his honor of being someone who would never invest money in a game. Hm? How wonderful.. Chapter 24 - No, Well Not be Friends Anymore If You Say That Again Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the first floor, Li Huiting opened her phone and logged into the Rise of Spiritual Energy Forum. She wanted to tell the idiotic netizens that Fang Ziyu¡¯s advertisement was real. He could really help a pet evolve. Then, she clicked into Fang Ziyu¡¯s post and saw a photo of herself working in the shop, as well as Fang Ziyu¡¯s remark. ¡°Jesus, I don¡¯t believe it. This is fake.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait to see how it goes.¡± ¡°No, this is my girlfriend¡­¡± ¡°idiot¡­¡± ¡°Is this what it means when the rich get married, and the poor get to see it with their own eyes? ¡Ñ?¡Ñ!¡± ¡°Evil capitalism¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°The cornbread in my hand is no longer fragrant!¡± ¡­ ¡°No, my Little lady must have been threatened¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°Yes, the little lady must have been threatened by the store owner.¡± ¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s team up. Let¡¯s team up to save the little lady from her misery. Send me a private message to join the team¡­¡± ¡°Big bosses, please join the team and fight the evil pet store owner together¡­¡± ¡­ Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± You might not believe it, but I really did it willingly. At first, she wanted to advertise for Fang Ziyu. But now, she suddenly had the urge to leave. ¡°No, if I leave now, wouldn¡¯t I have wasted a few hours working for him?¡± Li Huiting thought. ¡°Right, I should pretend that I don¡¯t know anything. When he sees it, he will beg me to clarify on the forum that I really volunteered to work here. ¡°Or maybe he won¡¯t see the forum and when he¡¯s surrounded by a group of burly men, he will beg me for help. Then, I can take the opportunity to make him promise to help Mo Bao evolve for free? Yes, that¡¯s it. No matter what, I won¡¯t suffer any loss.¡± Li Huiting held her chin and thought happily. When Li Huiting saw Fang Ziyu coming down, she quickly put away her phone and pretended to be in a daze expressionlessly. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t look at her. He laid on the recliner with a bitter look like someone who was unambitious, thinking about how to get five Level 3 cores. Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± I was ignored again. She glanced at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°Do you know how to increase your Spiritual Power? Other than using mutated plants or increasing the level of your pet, is there any other way to increase your Spiritual Power?¡± This wasn¡¯t only a problem for Li Huiting, it was also a problem for countless people. Mutated plants increased people¡¯s Spiritual Power better, but there were too few of them, so people had to enter the wilderness to look for them. If they increased their Spiritual Power by advancing their pet¡¯s level, the levels raised would be less. Most importantly, the pet¡¯s level couldn¡¯t be increased at the same time. ¡°You want to know? The consultation fee is one hundred.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting and said. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn¡¯t think of any other ways. Even if he ran to the wilderness to dig his own grave, he wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat a Level 3 Chaotic Monster. Li Huiting¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°You really know?¡± She quickly took out a hundred yuan. Fang Ziyu put the money in his pocket and said, ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Then, why did you accept my money? Give me back the money.¡± Li Huiting was a little angry. She stood up and looked at Fang Ziyu as she reached out her hand to ask for the money back. ¡°You consulted me, and I gave you my answer. The deal has been completed, and the money can¡¯t be refunded,¡± Fang Ziyu said. He had to work hard to earn money. Otherwise, if he couldn¡¯t buy the cores, the stupid game would automatically be deleted. ¡°You¡­¡± Li Huiting was speechless. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. After you finish your work, go home quickly. It¡¯s not good for me if you stay too late.¡± Fang Ziyu took out some dried fish to feed Yellow as he spoke. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Yellow let out a cry, feeling satisfied with Fang Ziyu¡¯s awareness. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for you to find a girlfriend in your entire life,¡± Li Huiting looked at Fang Ziyu and said seriously. ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard of the saying, ¡®Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a songbird will come?¡¯ For such an outstanding person like me, there¡¯s only the matter of whether I want one or not. There¡¯s no such thing as not being able to find one.¡± Fang Ziyu explained seriously. Li Huiting then went to pick up the cat litter. She was no longer willing to talk to such a shameless person. ¡°Ahwooh! Fang Ziyu, I¡¯m hungry too,¡± said Icy as it flapped its wings. ¡°Alright, alright. Just wait. I¡¯ll prepare food for you.¡± Fang Ziyu went to prepare a plate of meat with a bitter expression. When having a low status became something usual, one could not be bothered to resist. Just let it be. He also fed Daiyu, who was sleeping in the box upstairs. When Daiyu was eating, Fang Ziyu wanted to touch it but he received a glare. Then, he obediently retracted his hand. It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s just arrived, so it¡¯s not familiar with me yet. Fang Ziyu comforted himself like this. Li Huiting cleaned up the pet shop while Fang Ziyu took his tools to Xiao Bai¡¯s flower shop. He wanted to clean and feed the pets here. ¡°Fang Ziyu, I was just about to look for you. I think I saw the Chinese trumpet vine in my backyard move today. Use your detection ability to help me take a look,¡± Xiao Bai hurriedly said when he saw Fang Ziyu coming over. ¡°Sure. I¡¯ve never sensed a plant before, so I don¡¯t know if it works or not.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. Although Xiao Bai was muscular, he was actually quite a homebody. Usually, he would stay at home and develop some new varieties of flowers. He wouldn¡¯t sell them even after they were developed. When someone asked if they were for sale, he would take them to the exhibition for display. Fang Ziyu knew he wanted to enjoy the envious and admiring gazes of others. See, the flowers that I¡¯ve developed are amazing, right? However, when other people came to buy them, he would say, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, these flowers are limited edition. They¡¯re only for exhibiting, not for sale.¡± Originally, Xiao Bai would come to his place twice every day to brag and chat with him. Perhaps it was because he felt sorry about the incident at Xin¡¯an Park as he asked Fang Ziyu to go with him. Fang Ziyu actually understood that kind of feeling. It was the kind of feeling that when he saw that everyone else had supernatural powers, he wanted it too. He had indeed put in a lot of effort in finding a pet for Xiao Bai, but there were very few pets with healing abilities. He had never encountered one. The Chinese trumpet vine was a kind of climbing plant with red flowers. Fang Ziyu touched this flower and started detecting it. Then, the information page really appeared. Spirit Species: Vine of Demonic Words Gender: ¡á, ¡â Level: None Magic Power: 0.1 Properties: Mysterious, Wood Skill: Words of Blessing (Description: Initiating this skill will have the opposite effect as the Words of Blessing. It can only be used within the healing range) Suppression: None Evolution Potential: None Evolution Pathway: None Attention: This is a powerful healing-type pet, but it has just begun to evolve. Its nutrients are severely insufficient. It is estimated that it will need 200 Level 2 cores to evolve. If you help it evolve successfully, you will be able to gain its favor. There is a high chance of contracting it. Recommended Summoner to contract it. Impossible, it was impossible for him to contract it in this lifetime. Not to mention that this was Xiao Bai¡¯s flower, even if it was gifted to him, he wouldn¡¯t want it. 200 Level 2 cores? Just kill him. ¡°Hm, Xiao Bai. First of all, I want to congratulate you. This is a rare plant-type pet, and it has healing abilities,¡± Fang Ziyu said, even though this pet¡¯s ability might lead to the birth of a super toxic healer. ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Xiao Bai shouted. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too soon. It¡¯s not fully evolved, so it needs about 200 Level 2 cores to be completely awakened.¡± ¡°Two hundred cores? 20,000 each and two hundred of them will be four million. Hm, I just need to collect rent for a year.¡± Xiao Bai nodded. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Thump, thump¡­ Do you hear that? He felt that he might need a quick-acting heart reliever. Xiao Bai seemed to have noticed something strange about Fang Ziyu and he quickly changed his words. ¡°Ah, over four million. I need to work¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t. We¡¯ll not be friends anymore if you say that again.¡± Fang Ziyu covered his chest and ran upstairs. Oh my god, what sin did I commit in my previous life? Why does he have to hurt me like that? Chapter 25 - I Want to Grow Taller Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was too difficult for Fang Ziyu. Not only did he have to take care of his pets, but he also had to suffer the exploitation of the game. In the end, he even had to endure the invisible posturing of the rich. He had 500,000 yuan of pocket money every six months, and could make four million yuan by collecting rent for a year. Listen to this. Was this even human language? Some people didn¡¯t just have a head start, but were born at the finish line. Fang Ziyu almost spurted out blood. This was the weight of life that he couldn¡¯t bear. With jealousy and frustration, Fang Ziyu first made Spirit Cards of pets that he had put in Xiao Bai¡¯s building. Then, he returned to the shop and made Spirit Cards of pets that he had just bought. Fang Ziyu took a picture of the Samoyed that he sold today before it left. It could also be used to make a Spirit Card. Fang Ziyu bought a total of 64 pets. Among them, one had a Level 4 potential and six had a Level 3 potential. The remaining 57 pets all had a Level 2 potential. As for Li Huiting, Fang Ziyu had already asked her to go back. The reason was that it wasn¡¯t good for a man and a woman to be alone at night. Fang Ziyu obtained a total of 1020 Handbook Points after making Spirit Cards for all the pets. He could have obtained 1360 points. However, ten of the pets were repeated. Their abilities and evolution pathways were the same as the others. Fang Ziyu certainly couldn¡¯t get Handbook Points with the same pets, so he only obtained 1020 points. In addition to the 70 Handbook Points he previously got, there were a total of 1090 points. Game Reminder: The number of Handbook Points has reached the Level 1 limit of 500 points. The extra points will be locked. They will be unlocked when the player reaches Level 2. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± The game developers were really unscrupulous in order to make players level up in the stupid game. At this moment, the number of Handbook Points in the upper left corner of the game had changed to 350/740. The 740 that followed was gray and had been locked. The Handbook Points he used for Icy¡¯s evolution was also counted. Fang Ziyu raised his phone high up. Believe it or not, I will smash my phone in anger? He realized that this game was very bad. It didn¡¯t mention at the beginning that there were so many restrictions. After he got addicted, this stupid game finally revealed its true colors. However, what could he do? He couldn¡¯t bear to smash his phone and he couldn¡¯t threaten the game either. He could only accept the oppression of this unscrupulous game. Fine, he just had to get used to it. Just like a cat¡¯s slave, being oppressed by the cat would become a habit. When the cat was thirsty, the owner would run over to pour water, and when it was hungry, the owner would eagerly go over to feed it. Anyway, it was the same. Even if the cat ignored the owner, the owner would still smile at it. Thinking of this, Fang Ziyu suddenly felt better. It was already evening. Fang Ziyu closed the shop and carried Yellow to the second floor. At this time, probably no one would come to buy pets. ¡°Meow¡­¡± ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Seeing Fang Ziyu coming up, Daiyu, who was lying in the box and playing with a fake fish with its sister, called out to Fang Ziyu, as if it was saying hello. After that, its sister also greeted Fang Ziyu. ¡°Hello, feel free to look for me if you need anything.¡± Fang Ziyu smiled and greeted them. American Shorthair was a very intelligent species among cats. Plus, the intelligence of pets would increase after mutation. So, it wasn¡¯t surprising that Daiyu, who had a Level 4 potential, could understand Fang Ziyu¡¯s words and greet him. Currently, people were still stuck at the stage where they thought pets had no intelligence. For arrogant creatures like cats, if people didn¡¯t take the initiative to please them, they would ignore them. ¡°Oh yes, do you want to change to another cat house or shall I customize one for you?¡± ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Daiyu shook its head. It put its paw on the cardboard box it had been sleeping in, meaning the box was comfortable and she didn¡¯t want to change it yet. After greeting Fang Ziyu, Daiyu and its sister continued playing with the fake fish. Fang Ziyu looked at Yellow, who was so heavy that he could barely carry it in his arms. He stroked it and said, ¡°Look at you. Why is the difference between cats so huge?¡± ¡°Meow, meow, meow?¡± Yellow glanced at Fang Ziyu and slapped his hand away with its paw before returning to its luxurious cat house. Icy flapped its wings and flew in the air, using a few Ice Breaths to reduce the temperature in the room to a cool level. ¡°Ahwooh ~ Yellow just said that you can¡¯t touch it anymore. You¡¯re fired, you ungrateful poop-picker.¡± Icy translated Yellow¡¯s words. Fang Ziyu took a deep breath and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, you guys play. I¡¯ll go take a shower and then get ready to sleep.¡± Today, he wanted to sleep early. ¡­ This was an ordinary little tree. Like the other little trees, it yearned for the sky, wishing to see what was outside. The only thing it could do was desperately absorb nutrients to grow taller and taller. Perhaps this was the only way it could get closer to its dream. It spent all its time growing taller. During the day, when its companions talked, it tried to work hard to grow taller. At night, when its companions slept, it tried to absorb nutrients to prepare for growth. Gradually, it grew taller than its companions. It saw the sunset that the other trees couldn¡¯t see, and enjoyed the sunshine and rain that the other trees couldn¡¯t enjoy. It looked at its muddled companions and shook its head. It looked at the sky and understood the meaning of its life. It was very happy. It felt that its hard work was worth it. Although it was still far away from the sky, it believed that as long as it continued to work hard, it would touch the sky one day. However, the good times didn¡¯t last long. A few days later, a pair of merciless scissors cut off the branches that it worked hard to grow. There were no words, no indication. All the tall trees were mercilessly cut off. Seeing the parts that it put in so much effort to grow being cut off, its companions jeered at it loudly. ¡°Idiot, fool, do you really think you¡¯re different? ¡°Do you think we don¡¯t want to grow taller? It¡¯s useless. No matter how tall we grow, no matter how hard we work, we will be cut off. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy. Just eat, drink, play and sleep. Don¡¯t struggle needlessly. This is fate, our destined fate.¡± The little tree looked at its companion, unwilling to accept it and unconvinced. It continued to use all its time and energy to grow taller, to approach the sky. Day after day, year after year, the little tree was cut off every time it grew, but it never gave up. It changed from a little tree to a big tree, and then from a big tree to an old tree. However, its height had never changed from beginning to end, even though it was constantly trying to grow taller. Its companions gradually stayed away from it, thinking that it was mad. Its roots eventually rotted, unable to absorb enough nutrients, but it still didn¡¯t give up. It still tried to grow in the direction of the sky. A little mouse that passed by here every day saw that the old tree was working so hard. It walked over with a corn in its arms and asked curiously, ¡°Since I was born, I¡¯ve seen you grow dozens of times, but you were cut off by scissors every time. Why haven¡¯t you given up?¡± The old tree smiled. ¡°This is my dream, the meaning of my life. I have already persisted for countless years and I think I will carry on until the moment I die.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you regret working hard all your life but for nothing?¡± The little mouse asked. ¡°No regrets.¡± The old Tree looked at the sky and said with a smile, ¡°The only regret is that I have never been close to the sky in my life, nor have I been to the distant world.¡± The little mouse fell silent. It put down the corn in its hand and left. ¡°Work hard to grow. All the best.¡± The little mouse said before it ran off. For a long time, the growth of the old tree was no longer affected. It was very happy. Until one day, the old tree heard about the little mouse¡¯s death¡­ Chapter 26 - Shooting Themselves in the Foot Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Ah¡­¡± Fang Ziyu stretched and yawned as he walked downstairs, preparing to clean up the shop and start a new day. He took out his phone and looked at the news. There were two big pieces of news. The first piece of news was that the government website had announced that the Summoner School would officially start recruiting students for all the communities on 1st September. The school would be divided into beginner classes, intermediate classes, and advanced classes, and would implement military management. The admission criteria were based on individual talent and pet talent. The second piece of news was that the pet detector had officially been launched. This detector could detect pets¡¯ levels and potential, and could detect the levels of Chaotic Monsters. Currently, it had only these three functions. More functions were to be developed. The price wasn¡¯t expensive either. It could be bought for a few hundred yuan each. Seeing this news, Fang Ziyu thought to himself that there would probably be a long queue of tens of meters in all the places that sold detectors right now. All the major shopping websites would probably be flooded with people as well. ¡°This is really good news.¡± Fang Ziyu¡¯s originally good mood became even better. With the detector, many people who were still hesitant before would definitely run out to the pet store to buy pets to prepare for the Summoner School¡¯s admission. Fang Ziyu felt that there was hope for him to sell 30 pets a month, and his enthusiasm instantly increased. All of a sudden, he was no longer sleepy and he focused on cleaning up the shop. At eight o¡¯clock, Li Huiting arrived. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. When she entered, she saw Fang Ziyu picking up litter and cleaning the display cabinets and cages. She was shocked. ¡°You still have the mood to clean up these things here? Didn¡¯t you see what the situation is like outside?¡± Li Huiting was somewhat impressed by Fang Ziyu. ¡°I thought you would just slip away. Since you¡¯re here, hurry up and tidy up the shop. No matter what happens outside, it won¡¯t affect my business.¡± Fang Ziyu glanced at her and said. ¡°This matter outside can indeed affect your business.¡± Li Huiting realized that Fang Ziyu seemed to have misunderstood and she said as she pointed outside the door. Fang Ziyu was stunned. He stopped what he was doing and walked out of the door. He had been cleaning up the shop and hadn¡¯t gone out ever since he saw the two big news. After coming out, Fang Ziyu was stunned for a moment before he turned around and walked back into the shop. He frowned and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t they disrespecting me?¡± On the opposite side of the shop, two new shops were opened. One of them had the signboard of Love Pets Chain Pet Store, and the other signboard said Love Pets Training Center. These two shops had been renovating in the past, but they had never had a signboard. Fang Ziyu only found out that those were also pet stores after they put up the signboard today. Fang Ziyu certainly knew about Love Pets. They were the ones who caused trouble on the forums before. However, Fang Ziyu did not want to provoke such a big company. And yet, Love Pets directly opened a store in front of his store. This was a declaration of war. Putting everything else aside, Fang Ziyu still had some confidence in making this shop¡¯s business stagnant. The restaurant owner who was selling breakfast outside the restaurant took a look at the furious Fang Ziyu and said rather sympathetically, ¡°Fang Ziyu, you¡¯d better open a new store somewhere else. That¡¯s a big company. You can¡¯t compete with them.¡± Fang Ziyu glanced at the restaurant owner and shrugged his shoulders. ¡°They¡¯re shooting themselves in the foot by opening a shop here. It¡¯s impossible for them to take my store down.¡± Li Huiting was a little disappointed that she didn¡¯t see Fang Ziyu fly into rage. However, this made sense. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be working here. With Fang Ziyu¡¯s awakened ability, there was no way other pet stores could compete with him. The restaurant owner certainly didn¡¯t believe him. He glanced at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°If your business is really better than theirs, you can come to eat at my restaurant for free in the future.¡± At this moment, Xiao Bai, who had gone out to buy Level 2 cores, stopped the car. Hearing what the restaurant owner said, he shook his head and smiled. ¡°Old Zhang, if you¡¯re making a bet, count me in. I bet that the business of that shop will definitely not surpass Fang Ziyu¡¯s. If I lose, you can buy flowers from me for half the price. If you lose, you¡¯ll have to let me eat at your place for free. How about that?¡± He couldn¡¯t miss the opportunity to get long-term free meals. When Old Zhang¡¯s wife saw how confident Xiao Bai was, she wanted to persuade Old Zhang not to bet. Old Zhang stood upright and banged on the table. ¡°I¡¯ll make a bet. I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Li Huiting was a little envious. It was a long-term free meal ticket. It was a pity that she wasn¡¯t close to the restaurant owner. Otherwise, she would have taken a gamble no matter what. Fang Ziyu¡¯s eyelids twitched when he saw the plastic bag in Xiao Bai¡¯s hand. That was definitely a bag of Level 2 cores. He looked at Old Zhang and showed a confident look. ¡°I want your long-term free meal ticket.¡± Then, he rushed back to the store in a hurry. When he saw the bag of cores, his head hurt. When he returned to the shop, Fang Ziyu put his hand on his forehead in frustration. He realized that he still had to go over to Xiao Bai¡¯s place to take care of his pets. Those pets were his sweethearts. He could only go over to look after them. On the way, he heard people talking about how a gardener who was trimming the flowers on Yarn Hat Road had died a miserable death. After the rise of Spiritual Energy, it was generally calm, but all kinds of incidents happened from time to time. It wasn¡¯t rare that people died, so Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t pay attention to it. After cleaning the litter and feeding the cats and dogs, Fang Ziyu felt a bit bored when he returned to the store. He was happy too early. Everyone was buying detectors today, so he reckoned that no one would come to the shop. Feeling bored, he laid on the chair, took out his phone, and read the novel, ¡°Making Pets a World Phenomenon,¡± for a while. He thought that the author had written quite well, but the new chapter was too short. He finished reading it very soon and he put down his phone after recommending it. When he was bored, he found an Encyclopedia of Insects and started reading it. After the incident with the Double Sucker Worms, he felt that it was necessary to understand more about insects. Li Huiting had nothing to do after finishing her work. She played with Mo Bao for a while, and ran out to ask around for news about the store of Love Pets after that. She found that all cats at Love Pets had a CFA certification. She was even more anxious than Fang Ziyu. Fang Ziyu said that if she had nothing to do, she could walk the dogs in the shop. These dogs couldn¡¯t be locked up for too long. As for Love Pets, Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t afraid of them at all. ¡­ Just as Fang Ziyu was lazing around in the shop, a group of people gathered at another place in the city. A 1.7-meter tall man looked at everyone and said, ¡°I¡¯m Scapegoat, the organizer of the group. Everyone, please introduce yourselves.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Daydreamer,¡± said a skinny man with a yellow dog. ¡°Daydreamer? I¡¯m Princess Taiping.¡± A cute girl blinked and said. She didn¡¯t seem to have a pet. Daydreamer: ¡°¡­¡± Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m Third Wheel,¡± a skinny girl said. She was accompanied by a one-meter tall white rabbit. Its red eyes were very eye-catching. ¡°My name is Sad Grass,¡± a tall girl said. She had a green snake wrapped around her fair arm. Scapegoat and Daydreamer looked at the three girls. ¡°Are all girls so bold nowadays? Speaking of which, our goal this time is to save the lady from the evil hands of the obscene store owner. Is it really suitable for you three girls to come?¡± Princess Taiping shrugged. ¡°Why isn¡¯t it suitable? I¡¯m just here because I¡¯m bored.¡± Princess Taiping said as she ran over to Third Wheel and continued with a smile, ¡°Your white rabbit is so big. Can I touch it?¡± ¡°Sure, it¡¯s called Big White. It¡¯s very obedient.¡± Third Wheel said with a smile. The tall girl, Sad Grass, caressed the green snake on her arm sadly. She looked at Scapegoat and said, ¡°Since those rookies in the group haven¡¯t come yet, let¡¯s hurry up and set off. Isn¡¯t our goal to find out if the store owner can really help pets evolve?¡± ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll take a cab there. Let¡¯s set off now.¡± Scapegoat said as he laughed and nodded.. Chapter 27 - Giant White Rabbit Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Two taxis stopped near the entrance of Bizarre Pet Store. Three women, two men, and three pets alighted. Pets were originally not allowed to be brought into cars, but after the rise of Spiritual Energy, this rule was demolished. The five of them saw a small shop with a wooden sign that had the name of Bizarre Pet Store written on it from afar. When they arrived at the entrance of the shop, the five of them were a little guilty. It was the same as when more than 100 people signed up when they were forming a group on the forum but only five of them were here in the end. After hesitating for a while, Princess Taiping looked at Scapegoat and daydreamer. ¡°You two men are not even as good as me. What are you afraid of? I don¡¯t believe that the store owner will eat me up.¡± As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the pet store with her head held high. The girl with a green snake wrapped around her arm, Sad Grass, strode forward with her long legs and kept up. The skinny girl, Third Wheel, followed behind her and the one-meter-tall white rabbit also jumped behind them as it wagged its ears. ¡°Ah, we¡¯ll lose if we hesitate.¡± ¡°Forget it. Keep up quickly.¡± The two of them said and quickly followed. The cute girl, Princess Taiping, was a little dumbfounded as she walked to the door. After waiting for the other five people, they all walked into the shop together. Fang Ziyu was reading the Encyclopedia of Insects in the store while Li Huiting was playing with her phone at the side. She would stop and play with Mo Bao from time to time. Suddenly, three women and two men walked in. Fang Ziyu put down his book and looked at the five of them. ¡°Hello, do you want to buy pets?¡± For some reason, Fang Ziyu felt that these five people were a little nervous. ¡°I¡¯m here to look for a pet.¡± Princess Taiping said. ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± The five of them looked at each other. Didn¡¯t they say that they were here to save the lady? Seeing the five of them answer at the same time, Fang Ziyu felt even more skeptical. However, this wasn¡¯t what Fang Ziyu was concerned about. He stood up and asked, ¡°What kind of pets do you need? This store has many pets. You can choose according to your preferences.¡± His focus now was on money. Fang Ziyu¡¯s attitude was very good. He didn¡¯t look like the evil store owner that netizens had twisted into. Scapegoat took out a pet detector and turned on the Pet Potential Detection function. He really came to choose a pet seriously. The cute girl didn¡¯t have a pet either. When she saw that Scapegoat had a detector, she thought that it was worth it if she could get a good pet. Actually, they were using the excuse of saving Li Huiting, but that was just an excuse made up on the Internet. Those who came here had their own motives. A tall girl with a green snake wrapped around her arm, Sad Grass, caressed the snake¡¯s head as she looked at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°I heard that I can consult you about the evolution of pets here?¡± ¡°Yeah, sure.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. Sad Grass was about to speak when Scapegoat and Princess Taiping exclaimed, ¡°That isn¡¯t true, right? All the cats and dogs in this shop have a Level 2 potential? There are even a few of them with a Level 3 potential?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s selling pets with a Level 3 potential. My God, why didn¡¯t I discover this store sooner?¡± Princess Taiping put both hands on her chin and looked stunned. She was actually not ordinary. Her look was rather attractive. Fang Ziyu looked at the two of them and said calmly and indifferently, ¡°These pets are all for sale.¡± His casual words became words of posturing to the five of them. Do you hear that? They are all for sale. Good pets that we can¡¯t find no matter what are despised by him and he just sells them directly. Comparison could anger people to death. Fang Ziyu looked at Sad Grass. ¡°Do you want to ask about the evolution of this snake on your arm? Let me touch it and detect its condition.¡± Sad Grass was still immersed in the unbelievable fact that all the pets in the shop had a potential of Level 2 or above. She only came back to her senses when she heard Fang Ziyu¡¯s question. ¡°Oh, sure. Green bamboo vipers have poison fangs after mutation. Be careful.¡± Fang Ziyu reached out his hand and touched its body. He felt a comfortable, cool and smooth sensation. It was actually very pleasant to touch and it felt very comfortable. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, your pet¡¯s evolution potential is only at Level 1. I can¡¯t detect its evolution materials.¡± Fang Ziyu said embarrassedly. Not every pet he encountered had potential. The mediocre species were the mainstream in the world. Hearing this, the tall woman was a bit disappointed. In fact, she had long known about her pet¡¯s potential, but she hadn¡¯t given up yet. That was why she came after seeing the vague advertisement. ¡°Pet potential isn¡¯t fixed. The upper limit of potential can be broken through, but I don¡¯t know the way.¡± Fang Ziyu added. Fang Ziyu knew that pets weren¡¯t simply just pets to some people, just like how Yellow had a special meaning to him. It carried his longing for his grandma. Therefore, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t continue to recommend other pets in the shop to Sad Grass. ¡°How much is this Alaskan Malamute?¡± Princess Taiping asked. ¡°100,000.¡± Fang Ziyu said. The few of them were shocked for a moment. They thought that it was very expensive. Then, they felt relieved. An ordinary pet shop wouldn¡¯t have a pet with a Level 3 potential. Even if there was one, he would probably keep it to himself. This pet was good, but they couldn¡¯t afford it, so they could only settle for other pets. Fang Ziyu took a photo of the green snake on the grounds of collecting information about pets. Then, the skinny girl, Third Wheel, with the huge white rabbit also came to ask about the information about its evolution. Spirit Species: Speed Rabbit Gender: ¡â Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 9 Properties: Nature Skill: None Suppression: None Evolution Potential: Level 2 Evolution Pathway: Giant White Rabbit. After Fang Ziyu¡¯s detection, he found out that this large white rabbit¡¯s potential was at Level 2. However, it belonged to a mediocre species. Other than growing bigger, it didn¡¯t have any other skills. It seemed to be just for acting cute. As for the rabbit¡¯s evolution materials, there were only two of them and were both Level 2 materials. Third Wheel bought the ingredients. After the Level 1 rabbit evolved into a Level 2 Giant White Rabbit, it turned from a one-meter rabbit to a super-sized rabbit that was one and a half meter tall and three meter long. The pet store was almost filled up because of such a large rabbit. Unfortunately, this rabbit didn¡¯t know how to shrink. However, the girls didn¡¯t think it mattered. The cute girl was the first to run over into the Giant White Rabbit¡¯s arms and exclaimed. ¡°So soft, so smooth, so comfortable. It¡¯s so blissful to have such a big rabbit. You can even ride it to the ends of the world. I can¡¯t help but want one.¡± Li Huiting, Sad Grass, and rabbit¡¯s owner, Third Wheel, also ran into the giant rabbit¡¯s arms. The Giant White Rabbit moved its ears, and its ruby-like eyes revealed a look of enjoyment. Scapegoat and Daydreamer were drooling. They really wanted to be that rabbit. ¡°No, I must have a cute pet. In this world, only the most adorable thing can conquer a girl¡¯s heart.¡± Scapegoat said firmly. Daydream said, ¡°I admit defeat. This obscene store owner can really help pets evolve. His advertisement on the forum is actually real. This is unbelievable.¡± Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Hey, is it really appropriate for you to say that to my face? He finally knew where these people came from. They were really those idiotic netizens. ¡°Hey, can we ride your pet? It¡¯ll definitely be super cool if we ride it out.¡± The cute girl, Princess Taiping, asked. The skinny girl, Third Wheel, went silent for a moment, as if she was communicating with her pet through telepathy. After ten seconds, she smiled and nodded. ¡°It said yes. It can also take four of us at once.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! I¡¯ve never ridden a Giant White Rabbit in my entire life!¡± The cute girl, Princess Taiping, jumped up happily. The four of them said as they walked out of the shop with the Giant White Rabbit. It was already 11. Many people who got the detector came to buy pets, but they all went to Love Pets. After all, this shop was a chain store all over the country and they were organizing a grand opening today. In addition, if customers bought a pet, they would get free drugs that could be used to contract a Level 1 pet without harming it. So, many people went there to look for pets. Right, Love Pets had already developed specialized drugs according to the principle of using sleeping pills to contract Level 1 pets. However, when a Giant White Rabbit came out of a pet store with a few beautiful girls next to it at this moment, everyone¡¯s attention was immediately attracted.. Chapter 28 - The Dog Has a Bad Stomach, Ill Give It Softer Food Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The cute girl, Princess Taiping, didn¡¯t care about this. She urged the skinny girl, Third Wheel, to get on. Third Wheel stroked the Giant White Rabbit¡¯s head, then sat on its back and hugged its snow-white neck. After that, Princess Taiping immediately got on. The four of them quickly climbed onto the back of the Giant White Rabbit. ¡°Big White is going to start running. It asked us to hold on tight.¡± Third Wheel reminded. The next moment, the Giant White Rabbit moved. ¡°Argh¡­¡± The running Giant White Rabbit instantly increased its speed to more than 40km/h, and it was still speeding up. The girls sitting on its back cried out in fright. Feeling the speed of 40km/hr in a car was completely different from what they were feeling now. Besides, there were pedestrians everywhere. Just as the Giant White Rabbit was about to hit them, it suddenly made a sharp turn and perfectly bypassed the pedestrians and continued to rush into the distance. After realizing that there was no danger, the four girls patted the Giant White Rabbit and shouted, ¡°Quick, quick, go faster.¡± The Giant White Rabbit¡¯s speed increased from 40km/hr to 60-70km¡¯hr in an instant. Looking from afar, there was only a white shadow flashing through the pedestrians, accompanied by the happy screams of the four girls. Three minutes later, the Giant White Rabbit safely stopped in front of Bizarre Pet Store. Li Huiting got down with her long hair in a mess. However, she happily ran to Fang Ziyu to show off. ¡°That¡¯s so cool. I can guarantee not even the best racer in the world is as good as this Giant White Rabbit. And when it runs, it has a force that binds us to its back. It¡¯s practically the best mount.¡± The other people and passersby also gathered around and looked curiously at the Giant White Rabbit. This was too unbelievable. The Giant White Rabbit seemed to have sacrificed its skills in exchange for all this. It was a cute mount with superb endurance, super high speed and wonderful techniques. ¡°Think about who helped it evolve.¡± Fang Ziyu looked as if it was a matter of course. In fact, he didn¡¯t even know that this rabbit was so impressive. At this moment, he was very happy that the people who used to gather at the door of Love Pets had all come over. One of the people who had a pet detector exclaimed in disbelief after scanning the rabbit, ¡°This is actually a Level 2 Giant White Rabbit. No wonder it¡¯s so powerful.¡± ¡°Girl, is this rabbit your pet? How did you make it evolve? That¡¯s too impressive.¡± Someone asked. ¡°I want to know your evolution method too.¡± ¡°I want to know where you bought this rabbit. I want to get one too. Riding a rabbit is cooler than driving my Porsche.¡± A cute girl driving a Porsche asked. Hearing this, someone immediately looked at the girl. ¡°The doctor said that I¡¯m not in good health and I can live off of a woman.¡± Everyone looked at him with disdain. The skinny girl, Third Wheel, was suddenly surrounded by so many people, she seemed a little nervous. She pointed at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°My rabbit was originally at Level 1. It was the store owner who helped it evolve. He awakened a Summoner detection ability. Also, the pets in Bizarre Pet Store all have a Level 2 potential. There are also a few with a Level 3 potential.¡± ¡°What? There¡¯s such a skill?¡± ¡°All pets have a potential of Level 2 or above? I don¡¯t believe it. I¡¯m going to take a look.¡± Most people in the crowd were immediately attracted by Fang Ziyu. A young man walked up to Fang Ziyu and asked, ¡°Are you the store owner of the pet shop? Can you really help a pet evolve?¡± ¡°Yes, I can.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. This was a chance to earn money, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t let it go. ¡°Then, come and help me take a look at my dog. If you can help it evolve, money is not a problem,¡± the young man said. Fang Ziyu took a glance at the dog, which was a black Chinese rural dog. After detecting it, Fang Ziyu shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, although your dog has a Level 2 potential, it has yet to reach the peak of Level 1 and is temporarily unable to evolve.¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t reached the peak yet?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The detector you guys bought should also have this function. Pets that haven¡¯t reached the peak can¡¯t evolve. Didn¡¯t you see the information on the official website?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at him. Then, he walked into the shop. Many people had run into the pet store. Li Huiting couldn¡¯t take care of them alone. ¡°Oh my god, this Alaskan Malamute really has a Level 3 potential. This is the first Level 3 pet I¡¯ve seen.¡± A group of people gathered in front of the Alaskan Malamute¡¯s display cage and looked at the dog inside. ¡°This is nothing. All these cats and dogs have a Level 2 potential. That¡¯s terrifying. Where did the store owner get such good pets?¡± ¡°How much are the pets here?¡± Seeing Fang Ziyu enter, someone asked. ¡°The price of a pet with a Level 3 potential is from 100,000, while that of a pet with a Level 2 potential is from 10,000.¡± Fang Ziyu said directly. ¡°This is too expensive. Love Pets even sells pets at a few thousand yuan, and the lowest price here is 10,000. Can it be cheaper?¡± Although Spiritual Energy had been restored, most people¡¯s income was still the same. Ten thousand yuan was too much for them. ¡°That¡¯s the price. It¡¯s impossible to lower it.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and said. The starting price of the new pets of the new store was naturally lower, but the ones with the lowest price were Level 1 pets. The lowest price of a pet with a level 2 potential was around 10,000. As for pets with a Level 3 potential, they didn¡¯t have any. Pets were luxury goods to begin with. Mutated pets were even more so. If they felt that they were too expensive, they could go and look for free ones. No one would stop them. ¡°Besides, you¡¯ll get benefits when you buy pets in this store.¡± Fang Ziyu added. ¡°What benefits?¡± ¡°Only people who buy one will know,¡± he said. The pets were good, but they were too expensive. Many people backed out and left Bizarre Pet Store. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t ask them to stay. Most of the people who left didn¡¯t have the ability to spend money. There was no meaning in staying here other than taking up space. Only seven people were soon left in the shop. Fang Ziyu said, ¡°You can choose the ones you like or ask me to recommend one to you. Although these pets are mutated, they have inherited many of their original personalities.¡± ¡°I¡¯m buying this Alaskan Malamute. Do you take Alipay?¡± A girl said, glancing at the Alaskan Malamute in the display cage. ¡°Sure. Do you want to buy the leash, teething sticks, dog food, dog bowls, dog toilet, brush, and other supplies?¡± Fang Ziyu asked. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Alaskan Malamute is very obedient, quiet and is very suitable for living with other dogs. It¡¯s originally a sled dog, so it needs to go for a walk frequently. Moreover, the place where it lives has to be cooler. Also, its stomach isn¡¯t good, so you must pay attention.¡± Fang Ziyu told the girl who had a Porsche what to take note of as the girl paid. This was the job of a pet store manager. The girl had already taken the dog out of the display cage and put a leash on it. She lovingly caressed the Alaskan Malamute¡¯s head and said, ¡°If the dog has a bad stomach, I¡¯ll give it softer food. By the way, can it eat cores? What do I need to pay attention to if I feed it cores?¡± Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­ Sure. It¡¯s best for it to eat the cores of electric-type Chaotic Monsters. Just Level 1 will do.¡± He suddenly wanted to be this Alaskan Malamute. This was indeed an era where looks mattered. The others looked at the Alaskan Malamute silently. Their lives were even inferior to the dog¡¯s. This was really a sad thing. The Alaskan Malamute¡¯s ears were triangular in shape and were kept upright. The inside of the ears were also furry and looked very cute. Its eyes were almond-shaped and it had brown fur. Above its eyes, there were two circles of white fur, which looked like another pair of eyes. Its mouth was neither long nor short. It was just right. It wasn¡¯t the kind of long, thin mouth that a Husky would have, nor was it the kind of thick, short mouth that a German Shepherd would have. It seemed to have a golden ratio. It sat on the ground obediently and stuck out its red tongue. Its ears moved slightly as if it was trying to make a living with its face. It was really adorable. The girl looked at the Alaskan Malamute¡¯s face and felt that she bought it at a good price. She decided to only feed it cores in the future. Everyone only wanted this guy to leave as soon as possible. When it sat there, their hearts were hurting every second. Just as she was about to leave with the dog, she turned around and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there are benefits for people who buy pets here?¡± ¡°Yes, the next time it reaches the peak of Level 1, bring it over and I will help it evolve.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. Of course, the fee for evolution was separate. ¡°Can you really help pets evolve?¡± The girl was in disbelief. ¡°That Giant White Rabbit is the proof.¡± Fang Ziyu pointed at the Giant White Rabbit at the door and said.. Chapter 29 - Level 3 Giant Frost Dragon Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing the rich girl leave with Alaskan Malamute, the others in the store felt better. Fang Ziyu was also quite happy. With 100,000 yuan, he would have the money for the first Level 3 core. If he sold a few more Level 2 pets, he would also have the money for the Level 3 core. After these people chose a pet, they asked about its abilities, but Fang Ziyu patiently answered all of them. In the end, only two people made up their minds to buy the pets. One of them bought a Labrador with a Level 2 potential and the ability to spit fire and the other a British Shorthair with a Level 2 potential and had sharp claws. The Labrador was sold at 15,000 yuan. After all, its fire spitting ability was too common. The British Shorthair was sold at 20,000 yuan. Together with the cat and dog supplies, he earned a total of 37,000 yuan. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t manage to earn any Handbook Points. Those who came to buy pets were all people without pets. Two of them brought along pets that were both two-meter Huskies. Fang Ziyu had already collected the Spirit Card. However, Fang Ziyu felt that he had already gained something by successfully attracting the customers from the grand opening in the opposite store. Besides, Daydreamer¡¯s yellow dog and Sad Grass¡¯ snake had given Fang Ziyu 20 Handbook Points. However, these 20 points were also locked. Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t interested in the Handbook Points right now. Neither the cute girl nor Scapegoat bought pets. They were both people who lived from paycheck to paycheck and couldn¡¯t afford them at all. Daydreamer¡¯ yellow dog couldn¡¯t evolve because it hadn¡¯t reached the peak of Level 1. ¡°Manager, I¡¯ve already posted the pictures of the evolution of the Giant White Rabbit on the forum, but I guess they will most likely treat us as the fake reviewers you hired.¡± Scapegoat said while holding his phone. ¡°It¡¯s not my loss if they don¡¯t come. Let¡¯s leave it to fate,¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°Thank you, Fang Ziyu. We¡¯re leaving now,¡± the skinny girl, Third Wheel, said. ¡°Bye.¡± After sending the few of them away, Fang Ziyu looked at Li Huiting. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not that charming. That¡¯s why you only attracted a few people.¡± Li Huiting said furiously, ¡°It¡¯s none of my business whether they come or not.¡± In fact, she had long guessed how it ended, but she just wanted to look forward to it. Li Huiting hadn¡¯t expected five people to come. After they left, Fang Ziyu asked Li Huiting to look after the shop while he went out. After a while, Fang Ziyu returned. He brought back an unusually eye-catching advertisement sign. Written on it was, ¡°Our store has five pets with a Level 3 potential.¡± Then, he printed a notice that indicated the things he was selling. After that, he printed a lot of notes and stuck each pet¡¯s information on their cages and display cabinets. Li Huiting looked at this straightforward advertisement and didn¡¯t know what to say. She only felt that Fang Ziyu was really despicable. His straightforward words attracted the attention of the passersby directly. Love Pets didn¡¯t have any Level 3 pets. Even if they transferred Level 3 pets from the headquarters, they couldn¡¯t possibly transfer five at once, right? Customers would come in to take a look when they saw this advertisement sign. After all, it wouldn¡¯t be a loss for them to take a look. And as long as customers came into the store, Love Pets would completely be no match for Fang Ziyu. Do you have the ability to help pets evolve? Do you have so many Level 2 pets? Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t sell any more pets. However, many people saw the advertisement and came in to take a look. Then, they were extremely happy when they realized that there were really Level 3 pets. And yet, they left in the end because the pets were too expensive. However, as time passed, Fang Ziyu would definitely have a huge advantage. Even if Love Pets transferred pets with a Level 3 potential to their store, it would be useless, unless they imported pets with a Level 4 potential, which was impossible. If there were pets with a Level 4 potential, they would have contracted them internally. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark and Li Huiting left. Fang Ziyu closed the shop and secretly brought Icy to a barren land 1,000 meters away. This barren land was left behind from a real estate development. It was said that the boss ran away with his wife due to insufficient funds. Fang Ziyu brought Icy over. He looked at Icy and transmitted his voice to it, ¡°Don¡¯t make a noise later, okay? I¡¯ll help you evolve secretly.¡± When Icy heard the word ¡°evolve,¡± its eyes brightened, and its tail even curled up. It quickly nodded and said, ¡°Ahwooh, Fang Ziyu, don¡¯t worry. I definitely won¡¯t make a noise. I promise. In the future, if anyone bullies you, I will smash that person¡¯s head.¡± At this moment, it finally behaved like a real pet. It treated Fang Ziyu as a servant before. ¡°Change back to your original size first. Stop flying. Stand on the ground and don¡¯t move.¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°Okay, okay, I got it,¡± Icy said. Fang Ziyu and Icy communicated through telepathy. Icy didn¡¯t know human language, and ordinary people would only hear it roar. Meanwhile, it didn¡¯t even roar anymore. It was very excited and thought to itself that following Fang Ziyu would indeed lead to a great future. Fang Ziyu took out his phone and opened Icy¡¯s information page. Then, he directly chose to evolve with Handbook Points. Game Reminder: Do you want to use 150 Handbook Points for the evolution of the Young Frost Dragon? Fang Ziyu chose ¡°yes¡± without hesitation. As the number of Handbook Points at the top left corner of the game changed from 350/760 to 200/760, Icy¡¯s evolution began. The first to change were Icy¡¯s wings. White bone knives grew on the tips of its wings. The dragon¡¯s body continued to grow. From its original size of two meters tall and four meters long, it began to grow larger. In the blink of an eye, it had become a gigantic Giant Frost Dragon that was more than ten meters long. Its originally round dragon horns had become sharp, and its ice-blue scales shone with a cold light in the dark. Its huge dragon claws were incomparably sharp, and just by looking at them, there seemed to be a chilling cold light. Its long tail seemed to be able to break a building in an instant. This was a Level 3 Giant Frost Dragon. It had just evolved and was already an invincible existence at Level 3. Moreover, as it continued to evolve, the terrifying side of the giant dragon would be revealed. As the Giant Frost Dragon evolved to Level 3, Fang Ziyu felt a new surge of magic power going into his body. Part of the magic power merged with his Spiritual Power, and his passive skill, the weakened version of Freeze Frost, was strengthened. The other part of the power seemed to have been assimilated by his Spiritual Power, causing his Spiritual Power to increase. Although it was still insufficient to contract a Level 1 pet, Fang Ziyu guessed he was almost there. Icy really wanted to roar at the sky, but it had promised Fang Ziyu not to do so, so it could only restrain itself. At this moment, Icy suddenly blew down the grass on the side with a chilly breeze, revealing a young man with his fair buttocks exposed. ¡°Fang Ziyu, there¡¯s someone here.¡± Icy, whose senses had improved greatly, discovered this person. ¡°Oh f*ck!¡± Fang Ziyu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He even checked around just now but didn¡¯t see anyone. Where did this person come from? ¡°No, no, no. I surrender, I surrender. I didn¡¯t mean to peek.¡± The person was dumbfounded when he came back to his senses. What a huge dragon. ¡°Put on your pants and come over. If you dare to run, you¡¯re doomed.¡± Fang Ziyu warned. ¡°Alright, alright¡­¡± The man replied quickly. How would he dare to run away when such a huge dragon was here? ¡°Icy, get smaller.¡± Although this place was empty, it was better for it to get smaller as soon as possible since such an incident happened. He originally wanted to ask Icy to fly with him, so he could experience the feeling of riding a dragon. Fang Ziyu looked at the man walking over with a frustrated expression and said, ¡°Tell me, what happened to you?¡± Chapter 30 - Then I Might Have To Eat Two Pigs Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The man walked up to Fang Ziyu and Fang Ziyu saw his face. He was a young man about twenty years old and was quite handsome. With a face full of fear, he walked to Fang Ziyu and begged for mercy with a crying face, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t kill me to silence me. I really didn¡¯t see anything. I really didn¡¯t see anything!¡± Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Speak properly. What did you see? Tell me the truth or I¡¯ll feed you to Icy.¡± ¡°Awhoo! I would never eat such a stinky guy.¡± He didn¡¯t know what kind of poo this guy was sh*tting, but he smelled very, very stinky right now. ¡°I really didn¡¯t see anything. I was pooping in the bushes there, and as I was halfway through, I saw a dragon suddenly grow to over ten meters long. Then, you guys discovered me.¡± The young man said with an embarrassed look. He felt that it was too difficult for him. He almost lost his life when he went to take a dump. The feeling that the dragon gave him was too shocking. ¡°I went to the bushes to check. Why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Fang Ziyu questioned. He believed this guy¡¯s words. The guy shouldn¡¯t have seen anything in the bushes. Even if he saw it, he only saw that Fang Ziyu touched his phone and Icy suddenly became bigger. He wouldn¡¯t know the secret of the game. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t say anything and only communicated with Icy through telepathy. ¡°Well, at that time, I was trying my best to poop. I was afraid that I would lose my strength if I spoke¡­¡± The young man explained. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± The truth is that you only pooped because you were scared by Icy, right? ¡°Why are you pooping here so late at night?¡± Fang Ziyu asked again. ¡°It¡¯s too smelly at home. My mother kicked me out and asked me to go to the public toilet to poop. I was too lazy to go there, so I came here to settle it.¡± The young man said miserably. It was really too difficult for him. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Alright, this was all a misunderstanding. However, this kid still knew the secret of the evolution of the Giant Frost Dragon. Fang Ziyu felt a headache coming on. How should he deal with this guy? Why did he come out to poop at night? Seeing that Fang Ziyu was looking at him without saying anything, the young man was so frightened that he hugged Fang Ziyu¡¯s thigh. ¡°Brother, brother, I really didn¡¯t mean to peek. I really didn¡¯t mean to peek. I guarantee that I will not say a single word about what happened tonight. No, I will not say 0.1 words.¡± ¡°Get up. When did I say I was going to kill you to silence you? Hurry up and get away from me, or I¡¯ll kill you.¡± This guy stinks. The young man quickly moved two meters away from Fang Ziyu. Fang Ziyu asked a few more questions and found out that this guy was called Fang Xiaojie and had the same surname as he did. It turned out that he was a university student and lived nearby. He was pooping out here tonight and happened to see Fang Ziyu help Icy evolve. He took out this guy¡¯s ID card, memorized his address, and took another photo. Then, he looked at the young man and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone about what happened tonight. Come to my shop tomorrow and work until I feel that you can leave. Your salary will be 3,000 yuan a month. Do you accept it? If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll ride a dragon to your house tonight.¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Fang Xiaojie didn¡¯t dare to disagree. Icy¡¯s look when it transformed into a giant dragon had long been imprinted in his mind. After adding his WeChat, he sent the young man the address of his shop before letting him leave. ¡°Awhoo, you let him go just like that. I thought you were going to kill him,¡± said Icy as it watched Fang Xiaojie run away. Fang Ziyu rolled his eyes. ¡°What are you thinking? I am a citizen who abides by the law. Come, let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°Awhoo! I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll cut you some meat when we get home.¡± ¡°Ahwooh¡­ Then I might need to eat two pigs to be full,¡± said Icy as it flew. Fang Ziyu said, ¡°¡­ Where can I get two pigs for you?¡± ¡°Ahwooh! Then I might have to eat cores. I don¡¯t need to eat Level 2 cores. A Level 1 core can fill my stomach for four to five days.¡± Icy said slowly. Fang Ziyu said, ¡°I¡­¡± I suddenly regret evolving you to Level 3. ¡°This is your purpose, right? Fine, I¡¯ll buy it.¡± Fang Ziyu said. One Level 1 core cost more than a thousand yuan, and it would cost him 10,000 yuan a month to feed this little fellow. This place was a thousand meters away from Fang Ziyu¡¯s shop. After walking for ten minutes, the two of them were back. Fang Ziyu had already fed the pets, so he and Icy went upstairs directly. After going upstairs, Fang Ziyu touched Icy and opened its information panel again. Spirit Species: Young Frost Dragon Gender: ¡á Level: Level 3 Magic Power: 100 Properties: Nature/Element, Ice, Space Skills: Ice Breath (Description: Passive skill. When the Young Frost Dragon breathes, it will freeze the surrounding into an environment suitable for its survival), Frost Freeze (Description: Active skill. Beginner-level of the Descent of Winter. Normal Spirits of the same level will be killed.) Frozen Slash (Description: Physical active skill. It will have the power of slashing by waving its claws.) Suppression: It has a suppressive effect on ordinary Flying or Water Spirits. Evolution Potential: Level 7 Evolution Pathways: Level 7 Giant Frost Dragon. ¡°Ahwooh! I have a new skill. I can use my claws, tail and wings to attack now.¡± Icy said. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s a very strong skill. You have to practice more.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and said. Summoners could only obtain one skill from each Spirit. He had obtained one before and could no longer get others. ¡°Awww ~ I want to watch ¡®Seer Pioneer Team.''¡± Icy said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll put it on for you.¡± Fang Ziyu turned on the TV while Icy sat on the sofa and watched TV like an obedient child. ¡°Meow¡­¡± (Hi, Fang Ziyu) Daiyu raised its paw. It was eating. Ever since it came to Fang Ziyu¡¯s place, the food and living environment had become much better. Daiyu was initially afraid of strangers, but now, she took the initiative to greet Fang Ziyu. ¡°Hello, Daiyu. Is the cat food delicious? If it¡¯s not, I¡¯ll change it for you next time, okay?¡± Fang Ziyu greeted her with a smile, fully changing his identity to a poop-picker. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Daiyu nodded to indicate that it was quite delicious and he didn¡¯t have to change it. After taking care of Daiyu, Fang Ziyu went to Yellow¡¯s luxurious cat bed. Its luxurious cat bed was remodeled from a crib. It was soft and comfortable, and it could even roll around inside. It was very luxurious. ¡°Yellow, are you hungry? Do you want me to get you a bag of dried fish?¡± Fang Ziyu asked with a smile. He was apologizing for his mistake last night. He took a bag of dried fish and placed it in Yellow¡¯s cat bowl. Yellow glanced at Fang Ziyu and jumped off the bed to eat the dried fish in the bowl. After that, it went to bed and continued sleeping. It turned his head to the side and ignored Fang Ziyu. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± He knew what Yellow meant. A box of dried fish couldn¡¯t please it. Fang Ziyu really wanted to know who said that cats could control their appetite. That person should come and look at Yellow. It could eat however much food he gave it. Yellow¡¯s figure hadn¡¯t gone out of shape at the moment. However, who knew if it would become a pig-like orange cat he saw on the Internet if it continued eating like this? Fang Ziyu looked at Yellow. ¡°Tell me, how many boxes of dried fish do you want?¡± Yellow raised both its paws. ¡°Not ten boxes. At most five boxes. And you can only eat them tomorrow.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Yellow and said. After hesitating for a while, Yellow agreed. Fang Ziyu tried to hold Yellow. It didn¡¯t resist. He reached out to touch Yellow and it didn¡¯t resist either. He could finally touch the cat at ease. It had become a habit and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn¡¯t stroke the cat for a day. After caressing the cat for a while, Fang Ziyu took a shower and went to bed early. It was only ten o¡¯clock. In the blink of an eye, another day passed. The next morning, Fang Ziyu woke up at 7am and saw a young man standing downstairs. Who else could it be other than Fang Xiaojie that he met last night? Fang Ziyu, who was still wearing his pajamas, quickly changed and went downstairs to open the door. The moment he opened the door, Fang Xiaojie smiled and said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m here to report. I¡¯m not late, right?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so afraid. I don¡¯t eat people. You can stay on the first floor first. I¡¯m going to wash up.¡± Fang Ziyu said as he glanced at him. It seemed that the Icy¡¯s appearance after it transformed into a complete Giant Frost Dragon last night had scared him quite badly. After washing up, Fang Ziyu went downstairs and was about to teach Fang Xiaojie how to pick up the litter and feed the cats and dogs, when the owner of the restaurant next door ran over. He looked at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°Fang Ziyu, I heard from someone who got breakfast in my restaurant that a lady is surrounded by gangsters against a wall. From the description of her appearance, she seems to be the girl who works for you. Shouldn¡¯t you go there quickly and have a look?¡± ¡°Li Huiting is being surrounded against a wall?¡± Fang Ziyu was stunned for a moment before he said, ¡°Those gangsters might be in trouble. I¡¯d better go and take a look to stop them from being beaten to death.¡± He glanced at Fang Xiaojie and said, ¡°Take care of the shop. If anyone comes, tell them that the store owner isn¡¯t here.¡± He said as he rushed to find Li Huiting with Icy. Fang Xiaojie and the restaurant owner looked at each other. What did Fang Ziyu mean? They didn¡¯t understand.. Chapter 31 - Have Nothing to Do with Him Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the way, Fang Ziyu sent a message to Xiao Bai and asked him to help look after the shop. Then, he slowly walked towards the spot where Li Huiting was being surrounded. In fact, his main purpose was to buy Level 1 cores. At the same time, he wanted to see how miserable the people who dared to surround Li Huiting would end up. Fang Ziyu first went to the Mutated Plants and Cores Market and spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy 10 Level 1 cores before going over to see how Li Huiting was doing. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t believe that any gangster would have a Level 2 pet. If they didn¡¯t have a Level 2 pet, wouldn¡¯t they be asking for a beating if they went to surround Li Huiting against a wall? ¡°Argh¡­ Oh¡­ Sister¡­ We are sorry¡­¡± Fang Ziyu, who was far away, heard a few men begging for mercy. He thought that it was as expected. Even he was envious of Li Huiting¡¯s Yin Yang Cat. How much courage did these people have to surround her against a wall? Walking forward, Fang Ziyu saw what was happening in the alley. The three idle members of society knelt on the ground. The two mutated three-tailed dogs and the two-headed rooster next to them were shooting out water arrows and flames with all their might. Their target was the Yin Yang Cat, Mo Bao, floating in the air in front of Li Huiting. Seeing three attacks coming at him, Mo Bao was neither anxious nor panicked. Then, the color of the black and white fur and the black and white wings on its body was completely reversed. It initiated the skill of Black and White Inversion, bouncing back 100% of the elemental attacks lower than its level. Instantly, all the attacks that were aimed at it were knocked backwards and landed on the ground not far away. Then, Mo Bao¡¯s eyes turned white again. It activated the White Eye among the Black and White Cat Eye again. It could rapidly replenish its lost magic power during the day. It immediately restored most of the magic power that it had just used by initiating the Black and White Inversion. ¡°Ahwooh¡­ I want to fight too. I want to have fun.¡± Icy was eager to fight. ¡°Don¡¯t. If you attack them with your claws, those pets will die.¡± Fang Ziyu quickly stopped it. He didn¡¯t think that there was anything wrong with what Li Huiting did. She was just walking on the street and they dared to surround her against a wall, so they certainly had to pay the price. He was even envious of Li Huiting¡¯s method of using gangsters to train her pets. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t a pretty girl. Besides, the Level 3 Icy was too strong. Ordinary pets would be killed with a slash. ¡°Can¡¯t you control your pets to launch some elemental attacks?¡± Li Huiting asked unhappily. ¡°Sister, our pets have already launched three elemental attacks. Their magic powers have been used up. How can they continue attacking?¡± The three gangsters pleaded with a bitter face. They had never thought that the cat in the arms of a weak lady was actually a Level 2 pet, and its skills were so terrifying. ¡°Get out of here.¡± Li Huiting clapped her hands and glanced at the three gangsters. As if they had been granted amnesty, the gangsters immediately stood up and fled with their pets. Li Huiting turned around to look at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°I thought that you would rush over to save me after hearing the news!¡± ¡°I came out mainly to buy cores.¡± Fang Ziyu raised the bag in his hand to show her. ¡°I really want to ask Mo Bao to kill you.¡± Li Huiting took a deep breath and said. ¡°You might not be able to defeat me.¡± Fang Ziyu scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had never been worried about Li Huiting since the beginning. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t believe that she would be as ¡°lucky¡± as him to be able to encounter a Level 4 existence the moment she went out. The two of them, one carrying a bag with a dragon and the other holding a cat, headed towards the pet store. The early morning in August was slightly chilly. There were no birds chirping or insects buzzing. People on the streets were in a hurry. In the era after the rise of Spiritual Energy, not everyone was idle. Most of them were still doing their original jobs. There weren¡¯t many people who dared to challenge life. Fang Ziyu¡¯s pace of life wasn¡¯t fast to begin with. After he slowly returned to the store, it was already eight o¡¯clock. Li Huiting was a little curious when she saw a new young man in the shop. At first, she thought that he was here to buy a pet, but after understanding the situation, she realized that he was Fang Ziyu¡¯s new employee. That was also a good thing. Li Huiting patted his shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s good to have more people. Come over, I¡¯ll teach you how to work.¡± Fang Xiaojie was a little nervous when he saw a beautiful girl like Li Huiting. He thought that she was Fang Ziyu¡¯s girlfriend, but after hearing what she said, he realized that she was also an employee here. He nodded and smiled. ¡°Sister, just teach me. I¡¯ll do the work.¡± ¡°Hmm, young man, you¡¯re very smart.¡± Li Huiting clapped her hands and brought Fang Xiaojie to the hall to tidy up the cat cages with the tools. Fang Ziyu pondered for a while and didn¡¯t say anything in the end. He was planning to take Fang Xiaojie to Xiao Bai¡¯s place to clean up. He first took out a core for Icy to eat. Then, he crushed another one and gave half to Daiyu and half to Yellow. After he was done, he took the tools and went to Xiao Bai¡¯s building. He was about to go upstairs when Xiao Bai dragged him to the backyard. There was nothing he could do. Xiao Bai¡¯s arms were thicker than his thighs. Xiao Bai pointed at the Chinese trumpet vine, which was also a Vine of Demonic Words that hadn¡¯t fully grown, and asked Fang Ziyu to take a look to see how well he was taking care of it. ¡°It can¡¯t be any better.¡± Fang Ziyu said perfunctorily and went upstairs to work. Just by looking at the swaying dark green leaves, he could tell how good this vine was. The flower pot was even filled with core powder. He felt that Xiao Bai was definitely showing off on purpose. His daily life was more or less the same, as if he was repeating the events of the previous day. Fang Ziyu returned to the shop and laid on the familiar recliner. He picked up the Encyclopedia of Insects that he hadn¡¯t finished reading yesterday. Because of the Giant White Rabbit incident yesterday and the testimonies of the five netizens on the forum, as well as the huge advertisement sign at the entrance, his shop wasn¡¯t as quiet as before. From time to time, a few people would come, but not many would make up their minds to buy pets. With Fang Xiaojie and Li Huiting to serve the customers, he didn¡¯t need to get up all the time. Only when he saw a pet he had never seen before would he go over to take a photo to earn some Handbook Points. He could really earn some Handbook Points in a morning. He was mainly in charge of pet consultation. There were people consulting him from time to time, but not many actually did something. The pet store of Love Pets on the opposite side seemed to be a little helpless about Fang Ziyu¡¯s advertisement. They lowered the price of the pets again but didn¡¯t transport pets with a Level 3 potential to the store. Perhaps for them, markets elsewhere were more important. On the other hand, the Love Pets Training Center got more than 10 Level 2 pets and even made a big scene. They said that if someone defeated their pets, they would be rewarded with 10,000 yuan. If all 10 pets were defeated, they would be rewarded with a very rare Level 1 mutated plant called Yellow Essence, which could be used to increase Spiritual Power. At the same time, they posted an advertisement saying that they were specialized in training pets, with the most professional team to build the strongest path for people¡¯s pets, and that they were an indispensable helper for people to become a peak-Level 9 Summoner. Fang Ziyu scoffed at this. There hadn¡¯t even been a Level 9 Summoner yet and they dared to bluff like this. They were truly talking big! Time flew by quickly. It was as if he had just eaten breakfast and it was already lunchtime. This was very frustrating. The frail bodies of humans had decided that most of their time should be spent on these things. Even the rise of Spiritual Energy couldn¡¯t change this for the time being. But such trivial matters could always bring people happiness and sorrow, forming a magnificent life. While he was eating, he heard another news. After the gardener who was burnt to death yesterday, another person died today. The head of the deceased seemed to have been cut off by a sharp knife. And the guards in the neighborhood were complaining that a few fish kept in the pond in their neighborhood were missing. Hearing this, Fang Ziyu silently lowered his head and slurped a mouthful of noodles, thinking that this matter should have nothing to do with him.. Chapter 32 - Tree Bark Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the afternoon, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t play cartoons on the computer for Icy. He sat in front of the computer and started writing Spirit information according to the ¡°Order Spirit Handbooks¡± in the game. Every time he took a picture, he would say that he was collecting information on pets. He might as well really make a handbook to kill time. However, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t include the evolution materials. Time passed. Every day seemed the same. As the posts of Scapegoat and the others spread on the forum, many people gradually learned that there was such a pet shop in the south of the city. Regardless of whether the store owner really had the ability to help pets evolve, there was no doubt that there were five pets with a Level 3 potential in the shop. People who went to the south of the city to buy pets had to go take a look even if they couldn¡¯t afford them. They would always bring some pets that Fang Ziyu had never seen before when they came to the store, so he could collect some Handbook Points. Apart from the Love Pets Training Center that still had some people, there were not many customers in their pet store anymore. It seemed that even their headquarters had given up on this pet store. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Fang Ziyu woke up as usual. When he was eating at the restaurant next door after washing up, Li Huiting called and said that she might be late. ¡°Hey, you aren¡¯t being surrounded by someone again, are you?¡± Fang Ziyu asked in frustration. ¡°Hm? How did you know?¡± ¡°Lady, you¡¯ve been surrounded for three consecutive days. Can you go to some normal streets?¡± Fang Ziyu was extremely speechless. Li Huiting seemed to be addicted to being surrounded against a wall. Li Huiting had purposely chosen to go to remote places. Then, some insensitive gangsters saw this weak girl and went over to surround her. After that, that was it. These guys had all become targets for Li Huiting and Mo Bao to practice with. Where else could they find such free practice targets whom they didn¡¯t have to be responsible for after they injured them? ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll hang up first. There are a lot of them this time. I have to treat them seriously.¡± Li Huiting said and hung up. Fang Ziyu ate the deep-fried bread sticks speechlessly. After these few days of training, Li Huiting¡¯s Mo Bao was obviously much stronger. It was definitely a top one among Level 2 pets. ¡°Oh, another gardener died and his head was also cut off. Who do you think the gardeners offended?¡± ¡°How would I know? There are all kinds of monsters in this world. Even pigs can climb trees, and cows can fly. It¡¯s not strange for some pervert to kill people, right?¡± Three gardeners had died in a row in three days. The police were already investigating. Fang Ziyu finished the fried bread stick in his hand and finished the soy milk in the bowl before returning to the shop. The restaurant owner, Old Zhang, looked at him and said, ¡°Why did you eat so little today? Is it not good?¡± Fang Ziyu usually ate three fried bread sticks. Fang Ziyu pondered for two seconds and said, ¡°It¡¯s not that. I¡¯m eating less and waiting for free food in a few days.¡± The restaurant owner: ¡°¡­¡± Can we not talk about this?¡¯ Anyone could tell that the business of Love Pets wasn¡¯t as good as Fang Ziyu¡¯s store. After coming back to the shop, Fang Xiaojie had already arrived. He greeted Fang Ziyu with a smile and ran to clean up the store very consciously. After getting to know Fang Ziyu in the past two days, Fang Xiaojie realized that Fang Ziyu was not someone evil hiding in the dark, preparing to make trouble at any time, that he had imagined him to be. His fear of Fang Ziyu had turned into admiration. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t have to say anything and he would rush to take up work to do. In the beginning, Fang Ziyu was still not used to it, but in the end, he let him be. He thought that this young man wasn¡¯t bad and decided to give him some good fortune when he had the chance. Including the 100,000 yuan that he got by selling the Alaskan Malamute and money he earned from the four Level 2 pets that he had sold in the past two days, Fang Ziyu could already buy two Level 3 cores. He only needed three more to level up to Level 2. Fang Ziyu had also obtained 100 Handbook Points. Together with the 200 points he could use and those being locked, Fang Ziyu had a total of 960 Handbook Points. At first, he thought that it would be another boring day. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the shop, Officer Feng came looking for him. He looked anxious. When he entered, he told Fang Xiaojie that he was here for official business and asked him to go out first.. Then, he took out a palm-sized piece of weathered bark and placed it on the table. He looked at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°Xiao Fang, please sense it and see if you can detect what this is?¡± Fang Ziyu touched this piece of bark. This piece of bark gave people the feeling that it was alive, as if it could grow again if someone watered it. After using his detection ability, he shook his head and said, ¡°This should be a part of a Chaotic Monster, right? I can¡¯t sense anything else.¡± This was indeed what was displayed in the game. Apart from the words ¡°Chaotic Monster,¡± there was nothing else. It was unknown whether it was because the game couldn¡¯t detect it or because the game level wasn¡¯t high enough. ¡°Alright. I¡¯m just too desperate. Be careful. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Officer Feng shook his head in disappointment and prepared to leave. ¡°Hey, Officer Feng, can you give me half of this bark? I might be able to detect something if I study it.¡± Fang Ziyu said again. ¡°Alright, take this. There are many of them in the police station. If you detect anything, tell me as soon as possible.¡± Officer Feng thought for a while and handed the bark to Fang Ziyu. After Officer Feng left, Fang Ziyu took out his phone. As soon as he touched the thing, his phone started vibrating non-stop. When he turnd it on, there was indeed a notification from the stupid game. Game Reminder: Discovered extreme items. This is a very, very important material. It concerns the entire advancement path of the Summoner. Please obtain more extreme items. Game Reminder: Detected the Extreme Power of Tenacity. Do you want to use 10 Game Reminders to extract it? Fang Ziyu chose ¡°yes.¡± Game Reminder: Extracted 0.01 units of the Extreme Power of Tenacity. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t understand what the Extreme Power of Tenacity was. He pressed on it, and there was an explanation, ¡°If a tree keeps growing from birth to death with all its might, and it has never thought of giving up, its body will produce the Extreme Power of Tenacity.¡± Looking at the notification, Fang Ziyu felt even more confused. Didn¡¯t all trees in the world keep growing from birth to death? Fine, since the game said that the Extreme Power of Tenacity on the bark was useful, he would think of a way to get some more from Officer Feng next time. After all, the game used two ¡°very¡¯s¡± to describe it. After Fang Xiaojie came in, he looked at Fang Ziyu and exclaimed, ¡°Brother Fang, you¡¯re too impressive. Even a police officer asks you for help.¡± ¡°Alright, hurry up and get to work.¡± Fang Ziyu was somewhat embarrassed from being praised. At eight o¡¯clock, Li Huiting came to work with Mo Bao and she was on time. While feeding Mo Bao fragments of Level 2 cores, she prepared to start working. However, Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Lady, you are feeding your pet fragments of Level 2 cores. Do you still want to pay me back the money? If you give me the rest of the money, you won¡¯t have to suffer in the shop anymore.¡± Li Huiting blinked as she looked at the core fragment in her hand, and said innocently, ¡°This was given to me by those gangsters!¡± Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± As if I would believe you! Chapter 33 - Not Following the Script? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations However, other than not returning the money, Fang Ziyu couldn¡¯t find an excuse to kick her out. She had done all the work that she needed to do. Every time she called to say that she would be late, she was never really late. She was up against Fang Ziyu. At around 10, a customer came to the shop. It was a young man with a sallow complexion. He wore a yellow checkered shirt, black pants, and a pair of canvas shoes. His outfit looked very awkward. After he entered the store, he didn¡¯t look around to observe the pets. He directly walked to the cashier counter and asked Fang Ziyu, ¡°Are you the store owner, Fang Ziyu? I heard that you can help pets evolve?¡± ¡°Yes, I can.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. The young man raised his hand, and a black scorpion crawled out from his clothes. Its purple-black scorpion tail flickered with a cold light. He looked at Fang Ziyu and said, ¡°I want it to evolve. Can you do that?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at the scorpion. He had no doubt that it could kill him easily. ¡°Yes, I have to touch it to be able to detect it. Can you make sure that it doesn¡¯t sting me?¡± ¡°Without my order, it won¡¯t move.¡± The man spoke unusually concisely. Fang Ziyu nodded as he reached his hand out to touch it. Icy had already flown to his side without him knowing. It stared at the man with its dragon eyes. The man sized up Icy before looking back at Fang Ziyu. Fang Ziyu¡¯s index finger touched the scorpion¡¯s pincer, and a kind of coldness that was unique to cold-blooded animals came, making him slightly frightened. Spirit Species: Amethyst Sand Scorpion Gender: ¡á Level: Level 1 Magic Power: 9 Properties: Nature, Poison Skill: Scorpion Sting (Description: Venomous, pets below Level 3 will die of poison.) Suppression: None Evolution Potential: Level 3 Evolution Pathway: Amethyst Scorpion King Fang Ziyu moved his hand away. It was better to stay away from such a venomous creature. Among all pets, it was the easiest for poison-type pets to fight with those of a higher level. ¡°20,000 yuan. Also, let me take a picture of it. I¡¯ll tell you about its evolution materials.¡± Fang Ziyu said. The man looked at Fang Ziyu. ¡°Must you take a picture?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded. ¡°Okay, then. Go on.¡± He said. Fang Ziyu took out his phone and took a picture. Then, he told the man about the evolution materials of the Amethyst Sand Scorpion. The man nodded as he threw out a bank card, then left without suspecting the authenticity of the evolution materials. ¡°This person is so weird.¡± Li Huiting said as she watched him leave. ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like a good person at first glance. Speaking of which, that scorpion looks so venomous. Will it become even more terrifying after evolving?¡± Fang Xiaojie muttered as he looked at the door. ¡°I¡¯m just a pet store owner. Everything else has nothing to do with me.¡± Fang Ziyu shrugged. A few more customers came at noon. They left after taking a look at the pets and didn¡¯t buy anything. However, the opposite pet training center was very busy. Many people with Level 2 pets went to challenge the pets there. There were really people who successfully left with 10,000 yuan. In an instant, many people surrounded the center. People were always happy to do anything to get benefits. Even though they knew that this might be a trap, they still thought that they might succeed and might be the destined hero. Another day passed. At night, Fang Ziyu added some core fragments to Daiyu and Yellow¡¯s cat food. Then, he went to bed to rest. After playing with his phone for a while, he fell asleep. It began to rain all of a sudden, making the streets even colder. At one in the morning, the entire street was suddenly shrouded in fog. Not long after, three teenagers brought their three pets to Fang Ziyu¡¯s shop sneakily. A yellow-haired teenager with a black cat placed his finger in the middle of his mouth and made a ¡°shush¡± gesture to the other two. Then, the eyes of the black cat in his arms brightened and it initiated a skill. Fang Ziyu, who was sleeping upstairs, suddenly had a dream. A fairy suddenly came to his side and called him ¡®Daddy¡¯ with a smile while taking off her dress. Fang Ziyu was so excited that his whole body shook and he started chasing after her¡­ ¡°Hey, is your cat¡¯s skill good? If it fails, we will be caught.¡± The purple-haired teenager asked fearfully. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my cat¡¯s skill is definitely not a problem. It¡¯s not harmful. It will only bring people into a very deep sleep to recover their strength. Right now, the store owner and the pets in the store, including the people in the nearby stores, should be in deep sleep. We steal those Level 3 pets and we¡¯ll run. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Even if we are discovered, how would he dare to kill us?¡± The yellow-haired teenager said. ¡°Just give it a go. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? I¡¯ll unlock the door.¡± The black-haired teenager took out a small toolbox and stood at the door. The purple-haired teenager no longer hesitated. He communicated with his pet dog and asked it to continue using the fog to cover their tracks. Ever since they got these pets, the three of them had done a lot of bad things. However, they were a bit fearful and they only did small things here and there. This time, they discovered that Fang Ziyu¡¯s store had five pets with a Level 3 potential and he even lived alone. The three of them prepared to do something big. After observing for a few days, they finally seized the opportunity to make one score on this rainy night. The black-haired teenager was an expert. In two minutes, he unlocked the roller shutter of Fang Ziyu¡¯s shop. After pulling it open, the three of them directly entered. After entering the store, the three of them each held a detector and began to search for the pets with a Level 3 potential from different directions. The three of them had a clear division of labor and their movements were incomparably skilled. The yellow-haired teenager who was looking for a pet suddenly said happily in a low voice, ¡°I found it. I found a pet with Level 3 potential.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± A voice sounded from behind him. The yellow-haired teenager turned his head and saw a pale and cold face. A chilly wind blew past his face. He froze for about a second. ¡°Ghost!!!!!!¡± The yellow-haired teenager jumped up in fright, then picked up the tool in his hand, and threw it at the ghost¡­ Bang! The store suddenly lit up. The lamps were shining bright. ¡°Awhoo!!!!¡± A dragon¡¯s roar sounded and a chilly wind blew over, directly making the three people who had yet to react shiver. Fang Ziyu sat on a chair in the shop with his legs crossed. He looked at the three of them and sneered. ¡°Are you shocked? Are you surprised?¡± D*mn it, they first made him chase after the fairy for dozens of miles in his dream. Then, he was almost knocked down by the detector. Today¡¯s matter wasn¡¯t over yet. And d*mn it, who could explain why the yellow-haired teenager would throw something at a ghost? ¡°Holy f*ck, why aren¡¯t you asleep? This isn¡¯t normal.¡± The three of them shouted in disbelief and their faces filled with shock. Fang Ziyu: ¡°¡­¡± Where¡¯s your fear? Where¡¯s your begging? Why aren¡¯t you peeing and sh*tting your pants? You aren¡¯t following the script, are you? ¡°Icy, freeze the legs of these three guys. Don¡¯t let them escape.¡± Fang Ziyu clenched his fists and said. ¡°Today, I¡¯m going to show you what I¡¯m capable of!¡± Then, a green snake, a salamander, a Chinese blue-tailed skink, five hamsters, and two bamboo rats crawled towards the three of them.. Chapter 34 - Crazy Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The three of them panicked when they saw a group of animals, including the green snake that was sticking out its scarlet tongue, the slimy salamander and the Chinese blue-tailed skink, crawling over slowly. ¡°B-Brother¡­ M-Master, we are sorry. Please take back these cute little guys¡­¡± The three of them watched as the green snake and the salamander got closer and closer. Their bodies trembled like they were sieving bran. ¡°Have you heard of Daji¡¯s torturing method? I think with your endurance, you can totally try it.¡± Fang Ziyu said with a smile. You made me chase after the fairy for hours in my dreams. My legs hurt. These cute little animals were the pets originally in his store, but because their potentials were all at Level 1, he kept them in the storeroom and didn¡¯t sell them. ¡°M-Master, we are sorry, we are really sorry¡­ We shouldn¡¯t have come to your store. Please give us a chance. We will definitely think of a way to compensate you¡­¡± The three of them were really scared. The green snake had already climbed onto their legs and was sticking out its tongues as if it was thinking where it should start biting. ¡°Compensation is so boring. I like to hear your screams more. Anyway, if you don¡¯t survive later, I¡¯ll chop you up and feed you to the pets.¡± Fang Ziyu smiled and waved his hand. The green snake then crawled into the yellow-haired teenager¡¯s pants. The three pets at the door were frozen by Icy. It was currently punishing them with its claws. ¡°I¡­ I have a mutated plant that can increase your Spiritual Power. Stop!¡± The cold touch of the green snake made the yellow-haired teenager unable to hang on any longer. He blurted out his most important secret. ¡°What level is it? Is it an individual plant?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at the yellow-haired teenager and asked. It was this guy who threw the detector at him. He didn¡¯t want to let him go. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, an independent mutated plant, a Level 2 mutated American ginseng. Stop quickly, master. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m really sorry!!!¡± The yellow-haired teenager felt that the green snake had already crawled to his thigh. ¡°Come back first.¡± Fang Ziyu said to his little pets. At first, he only wanted to scare these guys until they peed their pants before calling the police. He didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a good thing by accident. ¡°Tell me, where is it? Don¡¯t lie to me. If not, I can¡¯t guarantee that the hamsters won¡¯t burn you there.¡± Fang Ziyu smiled and said. ¡°Squeak, squeak!¡± The five hamsters spat out flames at the same time. The orderly row of flames had a sense of ritual. The yellow-haired teenager and the other two even wanted to die right now. Why did they come to this pervert¡¯s store to steal things? He wanted to torture them and burn their d*cks. Was this something a normal person could do? ¡°The mutated American ginseng isn¡¯t mine. I know where it is. I can take you there,¡± said the yellow-haired teenager as he swallowed. ¡°Not yours? Then whose is it? Why didn¡¯t you take it away?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at him skeptically. He wanted to send out the hamsters again when he saw that the teenager didn¡¯t tell him everything. ¡°That American ginseng is mutated from a ginseng that an old man grew in a parterre. ¡°The boss and I discovered it together. He beat the old man to death and took the ginseng. However, because the ginseng was still mutating, the boss didn¡¯t use it immediately. Instead, he sent people to guard the place and waited for the mutation to complete before using it. ¡°I was hiding on the side and my pet had a special ability, so the boss didn¡¯t discover me.¡± The yellow-haired teenager told him everything. ¡°Then, what level is the boss¡¯s pet?¡± Fang Ziyu asked again. ¡°It¡¯s a Level 2 black dog,¡± said the yellow-haired teenager quickly. Fang Ziyu pondered for two seconds and said firmly, ¡°As an ambitious, moral, civilized and disciplined young man, it¡¯s my duty to eliminate evil. Lead the way and let me destroy their den.¡± ¡°Brother, let me tell you the location. You can go alone¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean I can go alone? Quickly lead the way, or do you want to try being tortured?¡± Fang Ziyu glared at the yellow-haired teenager. He believed what the teenager said. Fang Ziyu had long coveted a mutated plant that could increase his Spiritual Power. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he would never miss it no matter what. The reward at Love Pets Training Center was a Yellow Essence that could increase Spiritual Power. However, he had evolved Icy to Level 3, so he wouldn¡¯t be able to get it. He found a cage and locked all the pets of the three teenagers, then set off with them. ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t I find another way to make it up to you? There are dozens of people over there, and we¡¯re too weak.¡± The yellow-haired teenager said with a crying face. He originally thought that Fang Ziyu would give up. Unexpectedly, he was so unafraid of death and even wanted to bring the teenager over, so he could pay with his life. ¡°Cut the crap. Do you think that the three of you will have a chance to resist? You can try. I won¡¯t do anything to you if you fail anymore. I¡¯ll just ask the snake to bite you.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at the three people in the front with Icy next to him and said. The three of them rode their motorcycles here. Fang Ziyu sat at the back of the yellow-haired teenager¡¯s motorcycle and let him lead the way. As for the other two, Fang Ziyu wasn¡¯t worried that they would run away. If they really ran away, their consequences might be a bit inhumane. The four of them set off. The yellow-haired teenager even felt like dying. He was thinking why said something like that. He was really going to die now. Fang Ziyu was in his car and he couldn¡¯t run away. As for the purple-haired teenager and the black-haired teenager, they also had the intention to escape, but didn¡¯t really do so. A little ice dragon flew to purple-haired teenager and roared, and after a while, it flew to the black-haired teenager and roared The two of them instantly lost their urge to escape. The motorcycle made many turns and passed through several streets before coming to a remote alley. Fang Ziyu was also dizzy. No wonder the police didn¡¯t discover what happened here. In a city with more than ten million people, there were all kinds of cases every day even before the rise of Spiritual Energy, let alone after that. There was no one else in the old man¡¯s house, and it was a remote place, so it was normal that no one discovered this. When they reached the alley, the yellow-haired teenager pointed at an ordinary small courtyard, indicating that the American ginseng was inside. Other than the guards, the boss was probably inside as well. ¡°Come and line up against the wall.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at the three of them and said. The three of them stood against the wall, feeling confused. Then, their ankles, waists, hands, and arms were all tied to the wall by ice shackles. ¡°Hm, I¡¯ll untie you when I return triumphantly.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and left with Icy. The yellow-haired teenager and the other two were about to cry. Fang Ziyu was deliberately digging his own grave and he wanted them to be his scapegoats. How did they encounter such a crazy person? However, they didn¡¯t dare to shout, or they would die faster if they attracted someone here. In just a short moment, the black-haired teenager and the purple-haired teenager had already started to hate the yellow-haired teenager. If it wasn¡¯t because they couldn¡¯t move, they would have beaten him to death. As for the yellow-haired teenager, he was the one who found himself miserable. How did he meet such a rash and crazy person? Fang Ziyu brought Icy to the small courtyard and Icy flew in to take a look before shaking it head at Fang Ziyu when it returned. Fang Ziyu nodded and was certain that he wouldn¡¯t make any more trouble this time. Then, he walked forward and knocked on the door. ¡°Is anyone here? Is anyone here? If not, I¡¯ll come again later!¡± Chapter 35 - If Theres No One Here, Ill Come Again Later Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After a while. Creak! The door opened. A burly man with a dragon tattoo on his left arm and a tiger tattoo on his right came out. He looked at Fang Ziyu fiercely and said, ¡°We don¡¯t welcome outsiders here. go as far away from here as you can.¡± Fang Ziyu looked at this person¡¯s body figure and then looked at his own. He pondered for two seconds and asked, ¡°Am I handsome?¡± ¡°Hm? If you want to die, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish.¡± The burly man laughed sinisterly and dashed over. Dong! At this moment, a clear sound came and the burly man fell on the ground, rolling twice. This was the result of Icy¡¯s slap. It was different from slapping Fang Ziyu. It used its true strength. Following that, the burly man was also bound on the ground by a few ice shackles. Fang Ziyu went silent for a second before he continued to knock on the door. ¡°Is anyone there? Is anyone there? If there¡¯s no one here, I¡¯ll come back later!¡± As if the others had sensed that something had happened to the burly man with the dragon and tiger tattoos, three men holding batons and knives with three Tibetan Mastiffs behind them came this time. They looked terrifying. ¡°Kid, are you causing trouble?¡± The person in the middle asked. He saw the burly man, who had a dragon tattoo on the left arm and a tiger tattoo on the right, lying on the ground. ¡°No, no. I just wanted to ask who is more handsome, me or Xu Kun in the north of the city?¡± Fang Ziyu said and waved his hand repeatedly with an innocent expression. ¡°Hehe, kid, you¡¯re very naughty. I¡¯ll peel off your skin later to see if you¡¯re still this naughty! Go, let the dogs out to bite this guy to death.¡± That person sneered. ¡°Holy f*ck! These Tibetan Mastiffs are huge!¡± Fang Ziyu took a step back and exclaimed. In the next second, Icy, who was on his shoulder, didn¡¯t even look at them and it initiated its Frost Freeze. The three Tibetan Mastiffs that were running became beautiful ice sculptures. They had died. There was no need to keep these creatures that helped to do evil alive. ¡°A Level 2 pet. Run, tell Boss!¡± Seeing that Fang Ziyu killed three Tibetan Mastiffs in one move, the three of them immediately knew that he wasn¡¯t here to dig his own grave. Instead, he was really powerful. However, the backlash from the death of their pets caused them to spurt out blood. Although they didn¡¯t die, they couldn¡¯t run anymore. Fang Ziyu picked up the baton from the ground and swung it three times to allow them to rest temporarily. Icy then restrained the three of them. Her movements were already very smooth. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Icy.¡± Fang Ziyu said. Only their boss and a few others were left inside. There weren¡¯t as many people as the yellow-haired teenager had said. Fang Ziyu had just run into the courtyard when two people rushed out, followed by two dogs. Without waiting for Fang Ziyu to say anything, the two dogs immediately turned into ice crystals. After that, the two people were also knocked out by Icy. Fang Ziyu was like going to the Beginner¡¯s Village at Level 30 to bully the people there. It was certainly a piece of cake for him. But this was Fang Ziyu¡¯s pleasure. The reaction speed of a Level 3 Giant Frost Dragon wasn¡¯t something that Level 1 pets or humans could compare. When the boss came out of the house, he looked dumbfounded. In just a few minutes, all my subordinates were killed? ¡°Scumbag, go to hell. Let¡¯s go, Icy. Let¡¯s use Ice Breath first.¡± Fang Ziyu shouted. He couldn¡¯t stand this terrible line anymore. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re invincible just because you have a Level 2 pet? Fire Dog, shoot out flames. Kill this man and the dragon!¡± The boss shouted. The flames and the icy fog collided, creating a huge cloud of fog. ¡°Icy, hold back a little more. Let yourself get injured a bit before dealing with it. Don¡¯t be so strong.¡± Fang Ziyu said through telepathy. ¡°You¡¯re quite powerful.¡± The boss hugged the woman even tighter and ordered his Fire Dog to attack again. Then, it was as if Icy had fought too much and its magic power was insufficient, the ice fog that it released wasn¡¯t strong enough and it was sent flying by the flames. Some parts of its body seemed to have been burnt. ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s use another small and powerful Frost Freeze to freeze the dog¡¯s feet and then fly over to knock it out. Then, the act will be almost done.¡± Fang Ziyu communicated with Icy secretly. In the next second, the dog was indeed frozen. Then, Icy dodged its attack as it flew above the dog¡¯s head and smacked it. With a bang, the so-called Fire Dog fell. The boss was quite dumb. Just as he was about to scold Fang Ziyu for not following the rules, he and the woman were knocked unconscious by Icy¡¯s claw. Fang Ziyu collected himself and ran to the parterre, finding the American ginseng. He pulled it out and washed it before putting it into his mouth directly. ¡°Hm, old man, even though I ate your ginseng, I have avenged you as well. I will treat it as an equal exchange.¡± Chomp! It was crunchy like a radish. Fang Ziyu said as he ate, ¡°Icy, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll buy you some cores when we get back.¡± As he spoke, he looked at the woman that Icy was sitting on. Bang! ¡°What are you thinking? The strong should be single.¡± After Fang Ziyu finished eating the American ginseng, he felt that his body was the pot for the ginseng. At this moment, not only was his stomach burning, his internal organs, especially his two kidneys, were also burning. A warm current was running rampant in his body. ¡°Hello, Officer Feng. Is there a reward for eliminating evil?¡± ¡°Yes? Alright, come over¡­ There¡¯s a murder here.¡± Half an hour later, the police sirens sounded and Officer Feng rushed over with a group of people. Fang Ziyu ran over with a miserable face when he saw Officer Feng carrying the burnt Icy. ¡°Officer Feng, you¡¯re finally here. This is too dangerous. I almost died here¡­¡± Fang Ziyu shamelessly added more details, making the entire incident as tough and dangerous as possible. Besides, he was also disheveled and looked like he had been fighting for a long time at this moment. In fact, it was because he fell into the parterre. ¡°However, no matter how dangerous it is, as an ambitious, moral, civilized and disciplined young man, I¡¯m determined to eliminate evil and fight against crimes. For this, I will not hesitate even if I have to go through fire and water. Even if there is no reward, I will not sit aside and do nothing¡­¡± Seeing that Fang Ziyu was getting more and more enthusiastic as he talked, the police officers who were checking the scene couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Alright, I got it. I will report your contributions to the higher-ups. You will be rewarded accordingly. Oh right, that guy killed the person for a Level 2 mutated American ginseng. Where is it?¡± Officer Feng said. ¡°You have no idea, Officer Feng. I was beaten up too badly just now¡­ Me and Icy accidentally split the American ginseng. The stem is still here. It can be used as evidence, right?¡± Fang Ziyu said innocently. Anyway, I¡¯ve already eaten it and I can¡¯t possibly spit it out. Officer Feng: ¡°¡­¡± As if I would believe you. ¡°No, officer, my pet is injured. I¡¯ll give my statement tomorrow. I¡¯m going to look for Xiao Bai to treat my pet first. Also, I¡¯m afraid my shop will be robbed again¡­¡± Fang Ziyu quickly slipped away after finding an excuse. If he didn¡¯t escape now, it wouldn¡¯t be fun if they found out that Icy was at Level 3 with the detector. Although he could explain that it evolved after eating the core of the Level 4 Double Sucker Worm, he was afraid that he would be called to do dangerous work if they knew he had a Level 3 pet. In any case, he had already achieved his goal. He should run away when he could. Officer Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Do I not need my dignity? However, Fang Ziyu had a legitimate reason. Besides, he wasn¡¯t a criminal. He couldn¡¯t possibly not let Fang Ziyu leave, right? But Officer Feng felt that something was wrong.. Chapter 36 - Lay Low Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations While going home with the yellow-haired teenager¡¯s motorcycle, Fang Ziyu felt the changes in his body and felt very comfortable and happy. If it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to expose the fact that Icy was at Level 3, Fang Ziyu really wanted to turn Icy into a full-sized Giant Frost Dragon that was more than ten meters tall in an instant to directly tell everyone about it, letting it defeat the enemies. This was the most pleasant way. ¡°Lay low, lay low. People who flaunt their achievements are usually the fastest to fail. I must restrain myself and not let myself run wild.¡± Fang Ziyu kept reminding himself in his mind. He felt that he had done a good job tonight. From the beginning to the end, he had never revealed Icy¡¯s Level 3 strength and even got the mutated American ginseng. After returning to the Liberation Road where the shop was located, Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t go home and knocked on Xiao Bai¡¯s door. He had to put on a full show. In the middle of the night, Xiao Bai opened the door wearing a pair of shorts, exposing his eight packs. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you knocking at my door this late instead of sleeping?¡± Xiao Bai asked in confusion. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s talk inside. Give Icy a few mouthfuls of milk first.¡± Fang Ziyu said while carrying Icy. After entering the house, Xiao Bai released two streams of energy to Icy, which was sitting on the table. Icy let out a cry and trembled because of the energy. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t ask. Let me tell you¡­ I took down ten burly men by myself¡­¡± Fang Ziyu raised his chin and said. It was enough for him to brag for a long time that he took down a criminal organization by himself. ¡°F*ck, are you that fierce? You took down a criminal organization alone and even ate a Level 2 mutated plant, an American ginseng?¡± Xiao Bai was shocked after hearing Fang Ziyu¡¯s words. It was really unbelievable that Fang Ziyu could do such a big thing with his small body. ¡°Of course, Icy helped me a little¡­¡± Fang Ziyu said with certainty. Anyway, Icy¡¯s strength was also his strength, so there was actually no difference. ¡°Next time, you have to bring me along for this type of thing. It¡¯s too exciting. A boring life needs this kind of meaningful thing.¡± Xiao Bai squeezed his strong arm and said. He needed this kind of difficult life. ¡°Oh right, I feel like my Vine of Demonic Words is about to awaken. Come and take a look.¡± Xiao Bai pulled Fang Ziyu to his Chinese trumpet vine. This Chinese trumpet vine, which was still green before, actually withered at this moment. The vines were all yellow. The only proof that it was still alive seemed to be the black roots that were rooted in the cores. Fang Ziyu checked and confirmed that it was indeed about to awaken. He nodded and said, ¡°Just wait. When it grows new vines, it will be a whole new existence. You must contract it when it is about to awaken. Otherwise, it might get very difficult. You must know that its name has the word ¡®Demonic¡¯ in it.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s about to awaken.¡± Xiao Bai said. After acting in front of Xiao Bai, Fang Ziyu left. Firstly, he was in a hurry to go home to see how much his Spiritual Power had increased. Secondly, he was also sleepy. ¡°Awhoo! Fang Ziyu, how did I perform?¡± After returning to the store, Icy flew up and circled around Fang Ziyu. ¡°Hm, I promise to give you two cores. I¡¯ll buy something more expensive for you when I have money.¡± Fang Ziyu said happily. Although he had done such a thrilling thing, he still had to sleep. After taking a shower, Fang Ziyu went to bed. He laid comfortably on the two-meter wide bed and took out his phone again. After opening the game, Fang Ziyu clicked on the ¡°Personal Center¡± page that he hadn¡¯t clicked on since he looked at it last time. Bound Summoner: Fang Ziyu Gender: Male Race: Human Occupation: Summoner Body Condition: Weakling Summoner Level: Yin Yang Stage/Level 2 Summoner Skills: Passive (Skill description: All active skills you have will be turned into passive skills.) Merged Pet Skill: Weakened Frost Freeze Total Spiritual Power: 15 (Description: 10 units of Spiritual Power are required to break through the Yin Yang Stage.)

I don¡¯t know. Yes, I don¡¯t know. However, Fang Ziyu thought that 15 units of Spiritual Power should be enough to contract another pet. In order not to continue hurting his heart, he decided to turn off his phone and sleep. He wasn¡¯t an immortal. Sleep was good for his health. The next day, Fang Ziyu woke up late. He only woke up at 7:50am when Fang Xiaojie called him. After he washed up and went downstairs, Fang Xiaojie was already cleaning up the pet store. Li Huiting had also come, but her face was still red and she was panting. Fang Ziyu glanced at Li Huiting. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you were surrounded against a wall again?¡± ¡°No, I was just teaching the gangsters a lesson.¡± Li Huiting explained. ¡°However, I¡¯m planning to challenge the Love Pets Training Center today. I want the mutated Yellow Essence that increases my Spiritual Power.¡± Li Huiting said. ¡°Wow, Sister Hui, good luck. I¡¯ll cheer for you,¡± Fang Xiaojie said enviously. ¡°Oh, right. What pet did you contract? Why didn¡¯t you bring it over?¡± Li Huiting asked curiously. ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s your pet? If you bring it over, I can let you consult me for its evolution materials with half the price.¡± Fang Ziyu was also a little curious. ¡°No, no. My pet doesn¡¯t have much potential. I¡¯ll come to you after I contract my second pet.¡± Fang Xiaojie waved his hand in embarrassment. The more he acted like this, the more the two of them were curious about what kind of pet he had contracted. However, since Fang Xiaojie was unwilling to tell them, they couldn¡¯t force him either. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯m going to the police station to give my statement. Help me take care of the store. If anyone wants to consult me about pet evolution, ask the person to come in the afternoon.¡± Fang Ziyu said. Officer Feng would call him if he still hadn¡¯t shown up. ¡°What happened? Is it related to the three pets locked up in the store?¡± Li Huiting was curious. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. I just took down a criminal organization by myself last night. I¡¯m going to collect my rewards now.¡± Fang Ziyu flicked his sleeves and walked out of the pet store in an imposing manner. Li Huiting and Fang Xiaojie were left there, not knowing what was going on. He took down a criminal organization alone? He wasn¡¯t dreaming, was he? After going to the police station to give his statement, Fang Ziyu walked out with dissatisfaction. Because he had eaten the American ginseng, he only got a few thousand dollars and a pennant as his reward. Furthermore, they even had to report it to the higher-ups before they could send them to him. ¡°So stingy.¡± Fang Ziyu muttered unhappily. Returning to the Liberation Road, Fang Ziyu found that the Love Pets Training Center was already packed with people. He asked around and realized that Li Huiting was already challenging and had already defeated five Level 2 pets, winning 50,000 yuan. Fang Ziyu blinked and went inside through the gaps. When he entered, Li Huiting was fighting a black cat. However, this cat¡¯s ability wasn¡¯t elemental. Mo Bao¡¯s Black and White Inversion was useless. It could only fly into the air to find an opportunity.. Chapter 37 - Pets Arent Just Pets Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This black cat was very strange. It looked at the Mo Bao in the sky and acted very calm. Its jade-green cat eyes lit up. In an instant, Mo Bao that was flying in the air just a moment ago suddenly fell down as it let out a cry. Just as the Mo Bao was about to land, the black cat rushed forward to knock it down at the right timing. Li Huiting didn¡¯t panic. She quickly sent a message to Mo Bao through telepathy. In the next moment, the color of the black and white fur on Mo Bao¡¯s body reversed. It activated Black and White Inversion. This skill could bounce back elemental skills of the same level 100%. Apart from physical attacks, it also had a certain ability to bounce back the black cat¡¯s curse. This was because the black cat¡¯s curse also contained a portion of elemental attacks. ¡°Meow¡­¡± The black cat was slightly repelled by its own attack, causing its speed to decrease drastically. However, it didn¡¯t give up. All the fur on its body stood on end, and it screamed as it aimed its sharp claws at Mo Bao. Mo Bao cried as it dodged and shot out a white ball of energy at the black cat. Bang! The energy ball exploded and the black cat was sent flying. There were three red scratches on Mo Bao¡¯s left front leg. ¡°Meow¡­¡± The black cat seemed to have suffered internal injuries from the impact of the energy ball. It struggled to stand up and wanted to attack Mo Bao. ¡°Stop, we admit defeat.¡± The owner of the black cat in the training center quickly admitted defeat. ¡°Mo Bao!¡± Li Huiting ran over and hugged Mo Bao to check on its injuries. Xiao Bai, who was watching on the side, walked over and used his Summoner¡¯s healing skill. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Mo Bao¡¯s entire body trembled as it cried out softly. The red scratch marks on its left leg gradually disappeared. After a while, other than the hair that had yet to grow back, it had completely recovered. Even the adverse effects from the curse-type attacks had been somewhat eliminated. This was how terrifying an extraordinary ability was. Although it wasn¡¯t an earth-shattering power, even the best doctors couldn¡¯t compare to this healing skill. Fang Ziyu walked over and asked Li Huiting, ¡°Do you still want to continue challenging them?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Pets aren¡¯t just pets. The more you experience now, the more mature their combat skills will be. Only then can you face more danger together in the future.¡± Li Huiting said firmly. Hearing this, Fang Ziyu silently nodded his head and didn¡¯t speak anymore. Ever since she started using those gangsters as practice targets every day, Fang Ziyu had been able to tell that this lively lady had a great ambition and yearned for adventure and the Sea of Stars. In fact, people, including him, were still unable to change their way of thinking and still treated pets as pets. Little did they know that these pets actually possessed super powerful and extraordinary abilities, and were the best companions for humans to continue occupying the top of the food chain in this world. They needed to experience battles, conquer, and grow. Only those who stood up amidst countless battles and countless injuries were the true powerhouses. Unsurprisingly, the black cat must have been a wild cat before it was contracted. One could tell from its fierce gaze. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Mo Bao had trained for a long time and had the advantage in skills, the result of the battle would have been uncertain. After reaching Level 2, the pets¡¯ vitality, resilience, physical strength, and endurance would all improve. They would be able to withstand attacks of extraordinary power and also support themselves to fight with the extraordinary power. They weren¡¯t as weak as ordinary animals. Take Fang Ziyu¡¯s Giant Frost Dragon as an example. It was a Level 3 pet, so nothing would happen to it and it would still be energetic after enduring the full-strength fire attack of a Level 2 pet. Regarding this, Fang Ziyu was impressed by Li Huiting. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As long as it¡¯s not a serious injury, I can heal it.¡± Xiao Bai said with a smile. He was very happy to be able to use his abilities. Li Huiting nodded. She looked at Mo Bao and said, ¡°We¡¯ll continue.¡± ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Mo Bao nodded and walked out gracefully once again. However, its legs seemed to be a little weak. This was the side effect of Xiao Bai¡¯s poisonous milk. The seventh pet sent by the other party was a little pig. It had red fur and looked quite cute. As the battle began, the pig huffed and puffed as it charged towards Mo Bao. It looked stupid and cute, but this wasn¡¯t a normal attack. There was a layer of thin red shield on its head. This was a unique physical ramming attack. ¡°Meow¡­¡± Mo Bao cried and flew up, causing this pig¡¯s attack to miss. In the next instant, the pig screamed and raised its head, shooting out flames. Mo Bao wasn¡¯t afraid of elemental attacks at all. It bounced the attack back 100% by initiating the Black and White Inversion. However, this pig actually had fire resistance and didn¡¯t suffer much damage from its own attack. And yet, Mo Bao still had its Black and White Cat Eye, which could restore its magic power at any time. After a few rounds, the pig still lost. The remaining three pets were all elemental-type pets. They were no match for Mo Bao and naturally lost. The black cat that only knew how to cast curses was originally the training center¡¯s trump card. In order to prevent Li Huiting from winning too much money, they sent it out earlier. So naturally, nothing could stop Li Huiting and Mo Bao now. As a person who defeated ten Level 2 pets in a row and was a beautiful girl, it was expected that she would receive continuous cheers. There were people who looked up to her with eyes full of love and adoration, as well as big brothers and sisters whose faces were filled with disbelief. A lot of people had taken pictures of her. There were certainly a lot of people showing off to their friends and on forums. There were even many thick-skinned people who came to chat with her. Even though this was a cement venue, it had been destroyed by the pets¡¯ extraordinary powers. The person-in-charge of the training center invited Li Huiting to the other side with a smile on his face. In front of everyone, he handed over a Level 2 mutated plant, Yellow Essence, to Li Huiting, but he didn¡¯t transfer the 100,000 yuan immediately. He looked at Li Huiting with a smile. ¡°Madam, your powerful strength has been acknowledged by our training center. Are you interested in becoming a trainer at our training center? We can offer you a great remuneration package that you will be satisfied with.¡± Li Huiting shook her head while holding Mo Bao and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m mainly here for the mutated plant, Yellow Essence. I¡¯m not interested in anything else.¡± ¡°In that case, can I ask how you became so powerful? Are you a powerhouse who goes on adventures in the wilderness?¡± The person-in-charge asked again. ¡°No, I¡¯m working at the Bizarre Pet Store opposite the center. It¡¯s all thanks to the owner of the Bizarre Pet Store that Mo Bao became so strong.¡± Li Huiting didn¡¯t forget to advertise the Bizarre Pet Store. Hearing this, the face of the person-in-charge became sullen. He was thinking why he opened the center here in the first place. After asking around these few days, he found out about Fang Ziyu¡¯s ability. He was extremely regretful about the decision he made back then. ¡°No matter what, congratulations on getting these rewards. According to the requirements, you have to film some advertisements as our promotion. I hope you can cooperate. When this is done, we will also give you your rewards.¡± The person-in-charge said with a smile. At the same time, the staff at the training center took the opportunity to promote their membership package. Although they didn¡¯t defeat Li Huiting, their pets¡¯ performance wasn¡¯t bad. They could still gain some publicity. Li Huiting followed them to shoot an advertisement, but Fang Ziyu and Xiao Bai wouldn¡¯t apply for a membership package, so they naturally left. When Fang Ziyu returned to the shop, there were many people because of Li Huiting¡¯s promotion. Actually, his pet store was already quite famous now and business was good. He could earn more than 50 Handbook Points a day. Fang Ziyu initially wanted to see if he could contract Daiyu. However, there were many people in the shop and he got busy again. He could only do so at night. Li Huiting¡¯s promotion had a pretty good effect. Fang Ziyu successfully sold a pet with a Level 2 potential and earned a small sum of money. When there was no customer, he drank tea and read books. Fang Ziyu enjoyed such a life very much. When Fang Ziyu was having his lunch at noon, Li Huiting came back. She returned while holding Mo Bao and humming a song. She walked in front of Fang Ziyu, seemingly waiting for him to be envious. Then, Fang Ziyu brought Icy to eat next door. Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 38 - Please Leave Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the afternoon, Fang Ziyu went to the Mutated Plant and Core Market after lunch. He wasn¡¯t there to buy Level 1 cores for Icy and the others, but for something else. It was difficult to buy plants that could increase Spiritual Power in the market, but there were many types of mutated plants for pets below Level 3. Fang Ziyu walked into the Mutated Plant Supermarket and spent 12,000 yuan to buy a Level 2 mutated catmint. After that, he went to the Chaotic Monster Fish Market to buy a Red Jade Carp. Due to the rise of Spiritual Energy, many fishes had mutated into Chaotic Monsters, and their strength and body size had greatly increased. However, people still treated them like food on dining tables. Besides, according to the differences between each kind of fish monster, people had even developed special ways of eating them. The live fishes in the market were all at Level 1, and they didn¡¯t have any harmful abilities. All Level 2 fish monsters or the stronger ones among Level 1 were killed when they were caught. Fang Ziyu walked around and searched all the shops but still couldn¡¯t find the Red Jade Carp. He felt a little strange. Logically speaking, it shouldn¡¯t be hard to find a Level 2 fish. Compared to the other mutated monsters, the fish monsters were relatively easy to deal with. Many of them were directly electrocuted and people didn¡¯t need to fight them at all, so fish had the most amount in the market. Of course, it only worked on low-level ones. Electricity wouldn¡¯t be useful on those above Level 3. Seeing Fang Ziyu looking around, the owner of a fish stall in his forties asked, ¡°Young man, what fish are you looking for? Tell me and I¡¯ll help you take a look.¡± ¡°Red Jade Carp, both the core and the meat.¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°Can it be a White Jade Carp? The texture of the meat is similar to that of the Red Jade Carp,¡± said the owner. ¡°No, it¡¯s not for eating. I need the Red Jade Carp.¡± Fang Ziyu said. ¡°I can¡¯t help you then. There should be very few Red Jade Carps in the market. The Red Jade Carp is originally a mutation of the White Jade Carp. There aren¡¯t many of them, but the price is the same as that of the White Jade Carp. Whether we can catch it depends on luck.¡± The owner of the fish stall explained. ¡°If you want one, you can go fishing by the Han River yourself. It should be very easy to catch.¡± The fish stall owner said. ¡°Thank you, I got it.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded and turned around to leave. Fang Ziyu walked home with the catmint. He bought these for Yellow to evolve. Yellow¡¯s magic power had already reached the peak of Level 1 and had fulfilled the requirements to evolve. Since he could only use his Handbook Points to evolve pets that he had contracted, he could only prepare the materials himself if he wanted to help Yellow evolve. Unexpectedly, there was no Level 2 Red Jade Carp in the market. ¡°The Han River is not far and is still in the city. Let¡¯s go catch one after two days.¡± Fang Ziyu thought to himself. The fishing tools he bought previously had been stored in the shop for a long time. After returning to the shop, Fang Ziyu laid on the recliner that he was familiar with with the most comfortable posture. However, a middle-aged man came to the store. This person was wearing a suit. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t know him. He only heard from Li Huiting that this was the manager of the Love Pets Store opposite them. He sized up the situation in the shop and walked straight to the cashier in front of Fang Ziyu. Fang Ziyu looked at him and asked with a normal attitude, ¡°Can I help you? Are you here for pet consultation or buying pets?¡± ¡°None of them. I¡¯m here to offer you a sincere invitation on behalf of Love Pets Corporation. We hope you can come to our company. If you come to our company, you can discuss the other conditions with us. We will definitely give you a satisfactory reply.¡± The man politely extended an invitation to Fang Ziyu. Fang Ziyu glanced at him. ¡°You¡¯ve already opened a pet store opposite my shop, and you¡¯re still talking to me about your sincere invitation? You must be joking.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Mr. Fang was so capable. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have tried to teach a fish how to swim. If you come to our company, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for us to demolish this pet shop immediately,¡± the middle-aged man said. The sincere invitation from Love Pets was obvious. ¡°What if I want a salary of 10 million a year?¡± Fang Ziyu asked again. ¡°That¡¯s not a problem.¡± The man nodded. ¡°What about hundreds of millions?¡± Fang Ziyu asked again. ¡°This is still not a problem, as long as you come to our company,¡± the man said after a second of silence. ¡°Forget it then. You can¡¯t buy freedom with money. I¡¯m an unrestrained person who loves freedom. I don¡¯t want to work for other people. Please leave. Forgive me for not sending you off.¡± Fang Ziyu shook his head and said. No matter what, it was impossible for Fang Ziyu to go to such a place. Wasn¡¯t the Spirit Research Institute better? It was just that he hadn¡¯t decided if he should go to that kind of place yet. After all, the free life in the shop where he could sleep in the shop until he woke up naturally every day and could get off work at any time was very satisfying. He didn¡¯t want to work for others to restrict himself. He didn¡¯t have any reason to join these organizations anyway. ¡°Mr. Fang, you can even have shares in our company. No one will restrict your freedom.¡± The man didn¡¯t expect this outcome and he quickly said. Fang Ziyu shook his head. ¡°Please leave. I have no intention of becoming enemies with anyone, as long as no one else sees me as one.¡± This sentence was to tell Love Pets that he didn¡¯t have the intention to become enemies with them. Love Pets was the one who wasn¡¯t being kind first. They opened a cat store right across the road from his shop and made an enemy out of him first. Seeing that Fang Ziyu had already returned to his seat, the man knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He sighed in confusion and left. Seeing him leave, Li Huiting asked curiously, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go? You look like you need money.¡± ¡°Even the National Spirit Research Institute invited me, but I didn¡¯t go.¡± Fang Ziyu shrugged and said. ¡°Brother Fang, you were so cool when you said ¡®please leave.¡¯ You rejected hundreds of millions of profits so casually. You¡¯re totally awesome!¡± Fang Xiaojie said admiringly. Fang Ziyu kept reading the book as though it was a matter of course. Li Huiting: ¡°¡­¡± I finally know why you can stay in the store. It turns out you¡¯re a bootlicker. Another day passed by quickly. Fang Ziyu obtained 50 Handbook Points and sold a pet. After going upstairs, Fang Ziyu revealed a smile that he had never had, even when serving important customers. Icy had a look of disdain on its face after eating one core. He was really embarrassing it, but for the sake of the core, it could just pretend it hadn¡¯t seen it. ¡°Daiyu, good evening.¡± Fang Ziyu greeted it warmly once he went upstairs. ¡°Meow¡­¡± Daiyu got up from the box and raised its paw to greet Fang Ziyu. It wiped its round face with its paws, looking sleepy. ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want some cat food? Or core fragments? Do you want dried fish?¡± Fang Ziyu asked enthusiastically. ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± This time, Yellow was the one that meowed. It didn¡¯t bother to care when Fang Ziyu, this idiot, tried to flatter other cats. However, it couldn¡¯t bear to see him give other cats dried fish. Yellow got up from its seat and looked at Fang Ziyu with its amber cat eyes. It seemed like if Fang Ziyu dared to touch the dried fish today, it would never forgive him. Fortunately, Daiyu wasn¡¯t as passionate about dried fish as Yellow. It meowed and walked to the cat bowl with cat steps, signaling that it could just have cat food. Hearing this, Yellow laid down and dozed off again. Life as a cat was this boring. Fang Ziyu squatted down and looked at Daiyu, who was eating cat food with its sister. He suddenly felt more nervous than confessing his love to a girl. He smiled at Daiyu and asked tentatively, ¡°Daiyu, do you want to become stronger?¡± Chapter 39 - Using the Way of Confession of Love Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Meow, meow?¡± Daiyu, who was eating cat food, raised its head and looked at Fang Ziyu in confusion. It didn¡¯t understand what he meant. Alright, Fang Ziyu decided to get straight to the point. ¡°I was in a sea of people, drifting along in the fog of confusion and hesitation. ¡°Until I met you, my Daiyu. I cleared the fog, found poetry and the distance, and the Sea of Stars. ¡°I think that¡¯s the future we¡¯re going to have together. ¡°I¡¯m no longer lost or panicked. As long as you are by my side, I think that¡¯s the shore of my dreams. ¡°Daiyu, please enter a contract with me. I think I need your strength and your company. I need you to walk with me on the path of no return.¡± Fang Ziyu blushed and he reached his hand out to Daiyu. ¡°Meow, meow? Meow?¡± Daiyu looked at Fang Ziyu¡¯s slightly shaking hands. It tilted its head and looked at Fang Ziyu as if it was trying to understand what he had just said. After about three seconds, Daiyu seemed to understand his words. It blinked her round cat eyes, took a step forward, squatted down, placing its snow-white soft cat paw on Fang Ziyu¡¯s palm. Fang Ziyu was delighted and thrilled. He was ten thousand times more excited than when he confessed his love to a girl. He quickly began to form a contract. As he silently mumbled in his heart, part of the Spiritual Power in his body flowed from his hand to Daiyu¡¯s paw and into its body. Without any resistance, Daiyu and Fang Ziyu entered a contract and became real companions. Although Fang Ziyu was a little silly to Daiyu, he had brought it back, took care of it, and even gave it a good name. He could barely be considered a qualified poop-picker. ¡°Meow! Fang Ziyu, hello!¡± Daiyu lifted its paw. Fang Ziyu was very happy when he heard Daiyu¡¯s voice through telepathy. He smiled and said, ¡°Hello, Daiyu. Let me give you a present. Please stand still.¡± ¡°Meow! What present?¡± Daiyu sat on the carpet and tilted its head a bit curiously. Fang Ziyu took out his phone and opened the stupid game to retrieve Daiyu¡¯s information. He clicked on the column of ¡°Evolving with Handbook Points.¡± Game Reminder: Do you want to use 40 Handbook Points to evolve your Hidden Cat to Level 2? Fang Ziyu chose ¡°yes.¡± Game Reminder: Handbook Points have been deducted. The evolution of the Hidden Cat has begun. Fang Ziyu looked at Daiyu on the ground. There was no change to it. Then, it suddenly became transparent and disappeared. ¡°Daiyu? Are you still there?¡± ¡°Meow¡­ I¡¯m still here. Thank you, Ziyu. I feel that I¡¯ve become even stronger and I got a new ability that I can cast on you. Do you want to give it a try?¡± Daiyu revealed its body and asked Fang Ziyu. ¡°Going invisible? I want to try it.¡± Fang Ziyu nodded his head in anticipation. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already cast it on you. Ziyu, you¡¯re already invisible.¡± Daiyu waved its paw. ¡°Really?¡± Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t feel Daiyu casting a skill on him. He walked to the mirror and realized that he had really disappeared. He couldn¡¯t be seen in the mirror. Fang Ziyu was delighted and thought that this ability was great. It was simply too wonderful. He tiptoed to the sofa and looked at Yellow¡¯s wagging tail, reaching his hand out to try to touch it. Slap! Yellow lashed its tail at his hand, but he had yet to touch it. ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense. I¡¯ve clearly become invisible. Yellow, how did you see me? Isn¡¯t this too fake?¡± Fang Ziyu looked at Yellow in disbelief. Could it be that it had awakened some new ability? ¡°Meow¡­¡± Yellow turned its body and revealed a disdainful expression as if it was looking at an idiot. ¡°Ahwooh ~ Fang Ziyu, you fool. Do you think our sense of smell and hearing are just for decoration?¡± Icy rolled its eyes and said. Alright, going invisible didn¡¯t mean disappearing. He could still be discovered in other ways. Fang Ziyu forgot about the bold idea in his mind. ¡°Meow! This ability consumes too much energy. I¡¯ll stop using it.¡± Daiyu stopped using the skill and sat down on the carpet tiredly. Fang Ziyu took out a small piece of the core he shattered before and placed it in an empty cat bowl next to Daiyu. ¡°Daiyu, eat some crystal cores and rest. You will stay upstairs to help me look after the house like usual.¡± ¡°Meow¡­ I got it, but I might need to change my bed. This box isn¡¯t big enough for me and my sister anymore.¡± Daiyu said while eating. ¡°Ahwooh! Fang Ziyu, I¡¯m very angry now!¡± Icy shouted. Fang Ziyu looked at it. Brother, why are you making a fuss? ¡°Hm, the contract between you and Daiyu was so formal, but you drugged me to contract with me. I¡¯m not happy about it.¡± Icy flew up and sounded very angry. Fang Ziyu looked at it speechlessly. He would be a fool if he didn¡¯t understand its purpose. Sure enough, the next second, Icy sat on the sofa again and reached out its paw. ¡°You¡¯ll need a honey core to comfort me.¡± ¡°The core you ate just now cost a thousand yuan. Where can I get so much money to buy it?¡± Fang Ziyu had a bitter expression on his face. ¡°Meow¡­ Hello, Icy. Do you want to eat the core? You can have some of mine in my bowl with you.¡± Daiyu looked at Fang Ziyu¡¯s long face and pointed at the core fragments in its bowl as it said to Icy. Icy glanced at the half of the core in the cat bowl but was too embarrassed to eat Daiyu¡¯s. It shook its head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t like to eat this type.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll give some to it. You can eat yours.¡± Fang Ziyu stood up and took out the cores that he had hidden. He bought ten cores in one go before, and in just a few days, there were only five left. He took out a core, dipped it in honey, and fed it to Icy. ¡°Be careful of having cavities.¡± ¡°Hm, which insensitive worm would dare to eat my teeth?¡± Icy raised its chin arrogantly. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t bother to care about this arrogant dragon. He took half of a core and a box of dried fish and placed them in Yellow¡¯s bowl. ¡°Hm, Yellow, these are your late-night snacks. Eat up.¡± ¡°Meow, meow¡­¡± Yellow stretched its body and strode to the cat bowl to eat. It chose to forgive Fang Ziyu¡¯s shameless act of flattering Daiyu for the sake of the dried fish. In fact, Fang Ziyu went to buy materials for Yellow¡¯s evolution in the morning because he wanted Yellow to advance to the next level in the evening as well. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t manage to buy the main material, the Red Jade Carp. Yellow¡¯s potential was also at Level 3, only one level lower than Daiyu. It wasn¡¯t that Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t like it. However, Yellow¡¯s ability wasn¡¯t suitable for fighting. Besides, he wanted to raise Yellow and try to use materials to evolve it. While the pets were eating, Fang Ziyu took out his phone and detected Daiyu¡¯s information again. Spirit Species: Hidden Cat Gender: ¡â Level: Level 2 Magic Power: 18 Properties: Mysterious, Hidden Skills: Invisibility (Description: When it initiates Invisibility, you will not be able to see it. When it reaches Level 2, it will be able to conceal other creatures apart from itself.) Ghostly Concealment (Description: When it initiates the skill, any creature less than two levels above it will not be able to sense its existence.) Suppression: None Evolution Potential: Level 4 Evolution Pathway: Ghost Cat Looking at Daiyu¡¯s new ability, Fang Ziyu felt that his choice to contract it was right. With Daiyu¡¯s current ability, it could be said that as long as it didn¡¯t want to be found, no one would be able to find it. Of course, Fang Ziyu was an exception. Game Reminder: Congratulations on getting your second pet. You have officially become a Summoner of the Yin Yang Stage. Game Reminder: You have a new pet, Hidden Cat. You can choose an ability from it and merge with it to become yours. Fang Ziyu was delighted when he saw this familiar notification. Although the abilities humans obtained from pets were all weakened versions, having an extraordinary ability always made people happy.. Chapter 40 - The Second Passive Skill Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Game Reminder: You have chosen to integrate Ghostly Concealment as your skill. You have obtained a weakened version of Ghostly Concealment. Game Reminder: Due to your passivization Summoner skill, Ghostly Concealment has been transformed into your passive skill. (Description: When you chant ¡®you can¡¯t see me¡¯ in your heart, you will trigger the passive skill, Ghostly Concealment. When the skill is initiated, anyone that is one level above you will not be able to discover your existence.) After obtaining another passive skill, Fang Ziyu was satisfied. He felt that he was one step closer to mastering his passive skills. Today was really a happy day. Fang Ziyu took a shower and then ordered two luxurious remodeled baby cribs online, one for Daiyu and the other for Icy. Yellow already had one. Although Icy didn¡¯t say that it wanted a bed, Fang Ziyu, who had already suffered twice, wouldn¡¯t allow her to use similar ways to deceive him for cores. Although he had cash, Fang Ziyu liked to use a credit card. The only downside of it was that the money wouldn¡¯t be paid off by itself. Hm, the sun rose and set. A beautiful day in Fang Ziyu¡¯s life passed again. The next day, Fang Ziyu woke up quite early, although his bed had turned into a bed spirit, which kept stopping him from getting up. After preparing breakfast for Icy, Daiyu, and Yellow, Fang Ziyu went downstairs to have breakfast. When Fang Ziyu arrived at Old Zhang¡¯s restaurant, he realized that Xiao Bai was also there. The two of them looked at each other and chuckled before entering the restaurant together. ¡°Hey, Old Zhang, did we win the bet?¡± Xiao Bai shouted with a smile. ¡°You two idiots won.¡± Old Zhang shouted with a long face. ¡°Hehe, give me ten fried bread sticks and two bowls of soy milk first.¡± Fang Ziyu decided to slaughter Old Zhang fiercely and teach him a lesson. ¡°I¡¯ll have the same.¡± Xiao Bai chuckled and yelled. They said that they could eat here free in the future if they won, but they couldn¡¯t possibly do that every day. It was a small business, and they couldn¡¯t go too far. They would already feel awesome after having a meal that made Old Zhang¡¯s heart ache. ¡°If you can¡¯t finish it, I¡¯ll dump it into your mouths.¡± Old Zhang threatened them with a straight face. The two of them weren¡¯t afraid of him. The two men could easily finish the food. While eating the fried bread sticks, Fang Ziyu asked, ¡°How¡¯s your Chinese trumpet vine? Has it awakened?¡± ¡°No. There are only about ten cores left. I think I should go buy some more.¡± Xiao Bai took a bite of the fried bread stick and shook his head. ¡°Fine, I shouldn¡¯t talk about this sad topic with you. In a few days, I¡¯ll go fishing by the Han River. Are you interested?¡± ¡°Huh? You¡¯re actually going out? Alright, I¡¯ll go with you. I don¡¯t have much to do anyway.¡± Xiao Bai was surprised for a moment before he nodded and said. After the meal, he returned to the store. Fang Xiaojie had just arrived. Fang Ziyu liked this young man very much. He was very disciplined, which made Fang Ziyu feel a little embarrassed to exploit him. After a while when it was almost 8, Li Huiting also arrived. She didn¡¯t come at the last minute today, so Fang Ziyu was very surprised. ¡°Hm, you weren¡¯t surrounded today?¡± This girl was either being surrounded or was on the way to be surrounded. Had she turned over a new leaf and walked the main road today? ¡°You¡¯re the one who would be surrounded. Those people are too weak and a bit boring, so I came earlier.¡± Li Huiting glared at Fang Ziyu, while Mo Bao stared at the fat dragon beside Fang Ziyu. Fang Xiaojie, who was cleaning the litter box, suddenly covered his stomach and shouted, ¡°Brother Fang, I can¡¯t hold it anymore. I need to go to the toilet.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t. Go to the public toilet next door. I¡¯ll give you an hour off.¡± Fang Ziyu pointed at the door and said. If he let this guy poop in the shop, the pets might die from the smell of his stinky sh*t. Fang Xiaojie: ¡°¡­¡± For real? However, he had no time to complain. He clutched his stomach, grabbed a roll of paper from the cashier counter, and ran out. Fang Xiaojie went to the toilet while Fang Ziyu and Li Huiting continued working. There was nothing much to do after everything was done. There was hardly anyone around so early in the morning. Li Huiting sat on the bench and said, ¡°I feel that my Spiritual Power should be enough for me to contract a new pet. I¡¯m preparing to contract a pet with powerful attack power. I¡¯m thinking of looking for a Level 1 pet with good potential. Or should I wait until I become stronger and go straight to the wilderness to contract a Level 2 pet with potential?¡± Other than the fact that Summoners could only contract a Level 1 pet when they were at Level 1 and hadn¡¯t had a contract pet, there were no other restrictions afterwards. As long as one had enough Spiritual Power, they would be able to contract a powerful pet. However, the Spiritual Power was something that countless people were frustrated about. It was enough to contract ten Level 1 pets with the Spiritual Power required to contract one Level 2 pet. However, for people other than Fang Ziyu, contracting a Level 2 pet was far better than contracting a Level 1 pet. This was because Level 2 pets already had the strength to fight. Most Level 1 pets didn¡¯t have much combat strength. ¡°Just try your luck. If you¡¯re able to meet a pet with good potential, you should contract it.¡± Fang Ziyu was in a good mood today. He gave her a piece of advice and didn¡¯t charge her any consultation fees. Li Huiting nodded in disbelief. What she said had the intention of showing off, but Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t react at all. Did he take the wrong medicine today? Although she saw on the news that Fang Ziyu was involved in the arrest of a criminal organization, she didn¡¯t know that Fang Ziyu had eaten a piece of American ginseng. Fang Ziyu didn¡¯t know what she was thinking. Otherwise, he would definitely look disdainful. He had already contracted a second pet. Little girl, you are still far from it. ¡°Oh right, something seems to have happened in the city today. Baiyang Road has been sealed off by the police. I don¡¯t know what happened inside. Do you know anything?¡± Li Huiting didn¡¯t see Fang Ziyu¡¯s deflated expression, so she asked another question. ¡°How would I know? I¡¯m not a cop.¡± ¡°Woof, woof!¡± While the two of them were chatting, the barks of a dog came from outside the shop. The two of them looked over. A snow-white Samoyed puppy opened its mouth slightly and revealed a smiling expression. Its two soft ears swayed and folded like those of a Scottish Fold, then sticking up again. The Samoyed bounced around a little teenage girl. The little girl had a big smile on her face, and she let out a clear laugh from time to time. They jumped as they entered the Bizarre Pet Store. ¡°Brother, I¡¯ve already contracted Snowball. I didn¡¯t get help from other people. I did it by myself.¡± The little girl with the dog stood in front of Fang Ziyu, waiting for his compliment with a smile on her face. ¡°Qiqi, you¡¯re so awesome. You can pick some dog food for Snowball and take it away later. Also, when Snowball can advance to the next level in the future, come and find me. I¡¯ll offer you a consultation for free.¡± Fang Ziyu caressed the little girl¡¯s cheek and said with a smile. Even though there were many things in the world that didn¡¯t turn out the way people wanted, Fang Ziyu was still willing to treat the entire world kindly whenever he saw such an innocent smile. If there could be more of this innocent smile, the small sum of money for helping a pet evolve was nothing. There were some things that he did to move himself. Fang Ziyu felt that what he did could make him happy and move him, so he was willing to do so..
