Zhang Zian still lived a life without customers as usual, unaware that a storm was brewing on the Internet, and he was about to be drawn into the center of the storm.
"Start now, the ninth set of radio gymnastics..."
Today is Saturday, and the little girl who likes hamsters did not come, maybe because she slept in on the weekend, or maybe her parents sent her to various training classes to make up lessons, in short, everything is possible.
Zhang Zian was doing radio gymnastics alone to the beat of the music, while Xing Hai squatted in front of the store, looking around.
He feels that his physical strength has improved a little recently. When he first started doing radio gymnastics, he was a little short of breath after a set. Now he is only a little out of breath even after doing it twice.
Packed up the speakers and walked back to the store. Just as he sat down on the recliner, he saw a figure at the door and Sun Xiaomeng walked in.
As a newly opened store, Sun Xiaomeng's pet clinic is much better than his side, and there are already some repeat customers, so they don't come here every day to hang out. Zhang Zian doesn't expect to have any repeat customers, who buys pets every day
"Huh? Where's the English short? Where did you hide it? Or... did you raise it to death?" Sun Xiaomeng turned around, and immediately realized that there was one pet missing in the store, and immediately opened her eyes wide asked.
Zhang Zian asked lazily: "Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the first reaction of a normal person be 'the English short is sold'? Is your brain circuit different from that of a normal person? Do you want to go to the hospital for anorectal surgery?" Co take a look?"
Sun Xiaomeng's eyes were full of doubt and contempt, "Just you? Let's forget it. Look at your attitude and your laziness. Is it possible for you to entertain guests like this? It's hell if someone buys from you! "
He immediately retorted tit for tat: "The problem is, you are not a guest! You can't buy pets from here! Why should I waste my energy and energy entertaining you?"
She didn't bother to argue with him, she looked left and right and asked, "Where is Xinghai? Where is Xinghai?"
"It hid itself as soon as it saw you come in." He revealed the cruel truth.
At this time, his mobile phone rang a notification tone.
He thought it was a WeChat message or a push advertisement, but when he unlocked it, it was a reminder from "Pet Hunter":
[Game Tips]: If a rare pet is detected in your city, it is up to the player to decide whether to capture it.
[Game Tips]: The following is pet information.
[Pet Type]: Elf.
[Rarity]: Epic/Legendary.
[Catch Difficulty]: Unable to determine.
[Risk Level]: Low.
This was the first time he received a pet detection prompt from the game, and he stared at the screen for several seconds.
Sun Xiaomeng noticed that his expression was different, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? The girlfriend's breakup text message?"
He stood up from the reclining chair, walked behind Sun Xiaomeng, pushed her shoulders with both hands, and pushed her out of the door: "Idlers leave quickly, don't affect my business."
Sun Xiaomeng struggled and resisted, but she was a girl after all, so he pushed her out of the door abruptly.
"Zhang Zian! Remember it!" Sun Xiaomeng threw down this common line of villains, and left angrily.
He waited for her to go away, thought for a few seconds, and thought that there were no customers in the store anyway, so he just went for a walk. Besides, he has already sold an English short, so at least he will be able to live comfortably this month. He didn't have a girlfriend, and he had nothing else to spend his money on—what a sad story!
"Navigation Elf, what will Xinghai do if I leave home?" he asked.
[Navigation Elf]: Since Lucky Cat's favorability towards you has been increased, you can take Lucky Cat with you. Unless it shows up actively, people other than players cannot see it, or you can also bring Lucky Cat with you. The lucky cat is temporarily retracted to the pet bar.
"Great! Let's go, Xinghai, let's go for a walk!" He beckoned Xinghai to come over, locked the floor-to-ceiling glass door, and left the pet shop.
Speaking of which, apart from solving the dining problem at the small restaurant across the street, he is even more nerdy now than the most nerdy otaku, almost never leaving the pet shop, and sometimes even ordering takeaway when he gets tired of eating at the small restaurant.
Xinghai timidly followed him about three or four meters, raised his claws slightly, lowered his claws slightly, carefully observed his surroundings, avoiding pedestrians from a distance.
A fruit shop 50 meters away from the pet shop was closed and transferred, and now it has become a fried chicken shop; an Internet cafe is probably doing a good job and is being renovated, and the old computers are placed outside to reduce prices; the sidewalk broke ground again for some reason, it seems It is the maintenance of underground pipelines. Municipal engineering is digging and filling. After filling and digging, GD also increases accordingly.
During the period when he opened the shop, the street has changed somewhat.
The game gives the approximate location of the pet, which seems to be located in a downtown area, and it is more convenient to take a bus.
When he came to the bus station, Xinghai hesitated to come over when he saw the crowded passengers waiting for the bus.
"Meow... There are so many people... Xinghai is scared..."
Zhang Zian had no choice but to put it back in the pet box.
"Navigation Elf, if I don't catch this new pet, or if I don't choose to catch it at all, will that pet stay there forever?" He whispered into the phone, people probably thought he was chatting on WeChat .
[Navigation Elf]: No, this pet is a wandering type and will only appear here for a short time.
Zhang Zian originally had the mentality that it would be better if he could catch it, and it would be useless if he couldn't catch it, so he didn't feel nervous.
The road was not blocked in the morning, and the bus was running smoothly.
Zhang Zian has rarely returned to Binhai City since he went to other places for university and employment. Even when he came back from vacation occasionally, he would leave soon after visiting his parents. This time his parents had an accident, he went straight to the hospital as soon as he came back, and then he had to deal with the funeral, restart the pet store, and he didn't have time to hang out in the city center. Binhai City is already a little strange to him, and he can only occasionally vaguely see some of the splendor of the past in a few old buildings or historic sites.
The morning sun was hidden among the clouds, the bus meandered among the mottled tree shadows, seabirds soared in the eastern sky, and the brackish sea breeze passed through the open window of the bus, mischievously disturbing Zhang Zian's stay in the sea, and Leaving from the sunroof on the roof, circled around the flagpole at the entrance of the municipal facilities, blowing the national flag to the sound of hunting.
The quiet and leisurely Binhai City may not be considered a big international city, but it is definitely a good place for leisure and retirement. Even the frequency of pets appearing on the street is higher than that of ordinary cities.
The streets are dominated by the number of dogs, dogs of all sizes and shapes. This is not to say that there are more dogs than cats in total, but that dogs need to be walked, while cats can be kept in a deep boudoir and do not need to be walked.
It is said that dogs are domesticated from wolves, and cats are domesticated from wild cats, but in terms of size and appearance, dogs have more distinct characteristics, and the differences are far greater than cats. From various mastiffs and sheepdogs to Papillons, Teacup Teddys and Chihuahuas, the differences are so large that they are hardly the same species, so the types of dogs are relatively easy to identify.
Not so with cats. The recognition of cat species is very low, so shoddy and fake behaviors are more common in the cat trade than in the dog trade.
Of course, when it is said that cats are domesticated by humans, cats must first be dissatisfied: Nani? They are obviously our domesticated humans!
Cats are such proud and independent animals.
Dogs regard humans as masters, cats regard humans as friends.
Masters are like siblings, friends are like clothes... Well, it's okay!
Today, Zhang Zian is about to encounter the proudest cat in history, bar none.
