At the Yucheng Flower and Bird Market, a rather handsome young man stood at the door of the pet shop, looking straight at the shivering bamboo rat huddled in the corner, his heart full of grass.
I'm Lin Xi, and I'm in a panic right now.
Just a minute ago, when Lin Xi passed by the flower and bird market, a prompt box that often appears in RPG games suddenly popped up in his mind.
The prompt box appeared so suddenly without any warning that Lin Xi was so frightened that she almost hit her head on the glass door of the pet shop.
Could it be that I have been using too many pesticides recently and have a brain problem?
Should I go to the hospital for a brain CT examination?
Lin Xi blinked, looked away from the shivering bamboo rat, and immediately returned to normal.
Just when he was puzzled, a soft voice came from behind.
"Do you also like small animals? Come in and take a look."
At the door of the pet shop, a slender, pretty-faced long-haired lady wearing the work clothes of the pet shop warmly invited him in.
Lin Xi was amazed by the healing smile of the long-haired girl, and declared loudly in her heart, "I'll take over this smile!"
This pet shop is not big, but it is very clean and tidy. There was no smell when he walked in. It gave him a very good first impression.
He remembered that when he passed by the flower and bird market, there was no such pet shop. It seemed that it had just opened.
"Dad, there are guests coming."
The clerk shouted in the direction of the counter, and a bald head poked out from behind the computer screen.
"I know, you go clean up the cat poop, and I'll greet the guests." The bald man sent his daughter away, stood up and looked at Lin Xi, "Brother, do you want to keep a pet, or are you here to buy dog food?"
You're not, I'm not, so don't talk nonsense.
Lin Xi was shocked, how did this uncle know that he was single?
"I'll just take a look."
As a demo, you still pretend to be like me.
Yuan Jianguo sneered in his heart. Since opening this pet shop, many men have approached Yuan Xiaolin in the name of raising cats and dogs.
Therefore, many times there are more people watching and fewer people actually paying.
There are also some stingy men who bought a small pack of dog food worth more than ten yuan in the store and asked Yuan Xiaolin for her WeChat account. But they didn’t know that Yuan Jianguo’s work WeChat account was actually used by Yuan Jianguo, and Yuan Xiaolin also had a private WeChat account.
.
A few days ago, there was a customer who added a WeChat ID and wanted to trick Yuan Xiaolin into going to the hotel. Yuan Jianguo directly asked him to book the most luxurious hotel suite in Yucheng, and ordered him a comprehensive health care service, and then made a phone call.
Report to the Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Affairs Office.
After a set of punches, the man was immediately rushed to the detention center to pick up soap.
This pet store has just opened, and there are not many types of pets in the store, only a few common cats and dogs.
However, these cats and dogs all look very healthy, lively, and very loving.
Lin Xi's eyes swept over these pet cats and dogs, but the prompt box just now did not appear.
After looking at the pet shop for a while, he walked towards the cage where the pet rats were kept.
There are three kinds of pet rats kept in the store. In addition to the common guinea pigs and hamsters, there is also a bamboo rat huddled in the corner shivering.
Wild bamboo rats have ferocious personalities and are not suitable for keeping as pets.
However, this kind of bamboo rat that has been artificially cultivated for several generations has a relatively mild temper and can be used as a pet.
Generally, Chinese bamboo rats are dark gray and black. This bamboo rat in the cage is relatively rare. Its fur is all white and it is very beautiful.
It's just that this bamboo rat seems to be extremely timid, huddled in a corner, and screams "嘤嘤嘤" as soon as Lin Xi approaches.
That’s it!
Lin Xi stared at the monster in the cage, and an attribute bar suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.
【Gold-Eating Rat】(not awakened)
[Level: Level 1 God and Demon Species]
[Age: 55 days]
[Talent: None]
[Supernatural power: none]
[Character: Timid]
[Blood Awakening Point: 0/100]
Gold-eating rat?
Lin Xi remembered reading in a novel that the gold-eating rat was an extremely ferocious beast that swallowed everything.
He couldn't connect the famous gold-eating rat in the three realms with this timid whimpering monster in front of him.
"Boss, can I see this bamboo rat?"
Yuan Jianguo pointed to the disinfectant on the side and said, "Okay, but you have to wash your hands with disinfectant first. Also, this bamboo rat is timid, so be careful not to scare it."
Lin Xi responded and carefully took out the shivering bamboo rat.
The bamboo rat shivered.
"You are so beautiful." Lin Xi's fingertips gently stroked the bamboo rat's soft belly, and her smile gradually twisted.
The bamboo rat trembled even more violently.
Just when Lin Xi was catching the bamboo rat, a prompt box popped up.
"You captured the juvenile gold-eating rat (not yet awakened) and gained 100 experience points. Do you want to sign a contract?"
"Tip, the weaker the monster, the higher the success rate."
Is this the time for me to become a Pokémon trainer?
Lin Xi thought for a moment and did not immediately choose to sign a contract with this moaning monster.
Who knows what will happen after signing the contract? What if this monster suddenly wakes up and swallows everyone in the store?
"Boss, how do you sell bamboo rats?"
Yuan Jianguo glanced at Lin Xi in surprise, "Do you really want to buy this bamboo rat? Let me tell you first. Bamboo rats have very high requirements on the environment and food, and are not easy to feed."
He often encounters customers who don't know how to keep their pets. They raise their pets to death within a week after buying them, and then come to their pet store to claim compensation.
Among the pet shops in the flower and bird market, only Yuan Jianguo's family sells pet bamboo rats. Very few people keep bamboo rats as pets.
"I've seen videos of eating...no, it's breeding bamboo rats. It's no problem."
Seeing Lin Xi's vow, Yuan Jianguo didn't say much. After all, he still wanted to do business.
"The price of this white bamboo rat is 2,000 yuan. There is a promotion in the new store opening in the past two days. I will give you a 20% discount and a month's worth of pet food."
"2,000 yuan, so expensive?"
Lin Xi thought this monster would only cost a few hundred yuan at most, but he didn't expect it to cost several thousand yuan, or almost 1,600 yuan after discounts.
"White pet bamboo rats are relatively rare, and the price is already very reasonable. Moreover, our store also provides a month's supply of pet food. If you have any questions about raising pets, you can come to me at any time."
OK.
After paying the money, Lin Xi bought some pet toys and a small cage for bamboo rats at the pet store. Before leaving, she added Yuan Xiaolin's WeChat account.
In the bachelor's apartment, the bamboo rat had not yet adapted to the new environment. It hid in the cage and huddled in a ball, pointing its butt towards Lin Xi and making a "squeaking" sound.
Lin Xi thought for a moment, tore open the seal of the pet's ration, put a piece of ration rich in bamboo fiber into the cage, and then went to the toilet.
When he came back from the toilet, the half-palm-sized piece of pet food placed in the cage was gone.
Yingyingguai rubbed his belly and looked at Lin Xi with bright black eyes.
"Eating so fast?"
Lin Xi remembered that Yuan Xiaolin told him that one piece of pet food a day was enough.
But looking at it like this, one piece doesn’t seem to be enough to eat.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi took another piece of pet food and placed it in front of the bamboo rat.
This time he didn't leave, but watched it eat.
I saw the strange figure of Yingying flashing, quickly picking up the pet rations and then huddled in the corner, clicking and gnawing.
So delicious!
Lin Xi looked a little hungry.
After eating two pieces of pet food in one go, the bamboo rat seemed to be a little bolder. He moved his paws carefully towards Lin Xi, rubbed his palm, pointed at the scraps in the cage and screamed.
"More?"
Lin Xi was shocked, how could it be so edible?
Thinking that this moaning monster had the blood of a gold-eating rat, it might not be so easy to die, so Lin Xi put two pieces of pet food in it this time.
Seeing something to eat, the bamboo rat immediately ignored Lin Xi and ran over to eat it.
Is it so real?
Lin Xi was speechless. It seemed that he had not eaten much when he was in the pet shop.
Weak and helpless, but able to eat.
"The gold-eating rat's favorability towards you +1"
Lin Xi thought for a while, turned on her phone and sent a WeChat message to Yuan Xiaolin, wanting to ask her what to do if the bamboo rats ate too many.
Not long after, a voice message came over.
"She went to take a shower." A deep male voice rang in the WeChat voice.
