Zhou Yue murmured and turned off the alarm clock, burying his entire face in the cotton and linen pillow again.
The damp wooden floor creaked as the boy turned over.
A few pairs of green eyes appeared in the cramped attic, tiptoeing closer to the head of the bed.
Meow!
The black cat jumped up first and squatted on the back of Zhou Yue's head, raising its paws with a serious expression.
The snow-white Zhumu bird occupied Zhou Yue's buttocks, spread its snowy wings, and exposed its winged hands.
Not to be outdone, the golden-winged snake flew like lightning and appeared on Zhou Yue's shoulders.
Only the brown-red beetle remained on the floor.
It spread its elytra, shook its fork-shaped head horns, and made a "loud" sound toward its three companions.
No one paid attention to the little beetle with low IQ.
The Everest bird was the first to attack, and its long straight beak suddenly poked somewhere in the boy's buttocks.
Seeing that tragedy is about to happen.
The boy on the bed grabbed Zhumu Bird's neck with his backhand and sat up with a stiff face: "Who set the alarm clock forward by an hour? Are you reincarnated by starving people? We can't let people sleep more during the holidays!"
The black cat, golden-winged snake and Zhumu bird instantly changed their expressions to well-behaved expressions, and at the same time pointed at the sluggish little beetle on the ground.
The three owners of them all signed a fostering agreement with Zhou Yue's pet shop. Although they did not dare to disobey Zhou Yue openly, they did a lot of mischief behind the scenes.
"It would take a native beetle all day to take the blame."
Zhou Yue walked into the bathroom with a speechless face.
Several small creatures also consciously lined up and followed, with the black cat taking the lead and the beetle being squeezed in at the end.
They can't speak, but their intention is very obvious, that is to urge Zhou Yue to cook!
"Don't come in."
Zhou Yue closed the door heavily and looked at the handsome young man in the mirror.
Different from the man who looked a little embarrassed due to the heavy pressure of life many years later, the young man in front of him had fair skin, dark eyes, and a sunny and heroic spirit.
"As long as her looks don't fade away, she can still be regarded as a young girl."
"It's a pity that this world values telepathy far more than appearance."
A few days ago, he woke up and found that he was seventeen years old again.
My parents are fine, and my family is still running a modest pet shop on Jiefang East Road, living a normal life.
My life trajectory has generally remained unchanged.
However, world geography, including global modern history, has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially these magical little pets, which completely subverted Zhou Yue's cognition.
Zhou Yue realized that he should have been reborn into himself in another parallel world.
It happened to coincide with the May Day Global Liberation Day and school holidays, and my parents won the grand prize of traveling to the plane battlefield ruins.
This also gave Zhou Yue time to reshape his world view and adjust his behavior habits to avoid being noticed as abnormal.
…
Go to the toilet, brush your teeth, wash your face.
Zhou Yue went down from the attic, ducked into the small storage room behind the store on the first floor, put on a filter mask and sterilizing gloves according to the procedures in his memory, took apart the disposable measurement test strips, and opened the property panel of the only device in the house.
The property panel is an essential tool for practicing and raising pets at home in this era.
The appearance is somewhat like the tablet computer of previous generations, but smaller.
The one in Zhou Yue's hands is a first-generation "antique" that has long been extinct in online shopping malls.
The picture is black and white, the data is simple, and it can be very scary to start up, but fortunately it can barely be used.
The panel not only contains the attribute data of the black cats, but also Zhou Yue's own telekinesis value.
Zhou Yue, male, seventeen years old.
Height: 173cm.
Weight: 61kg.
Physical fitness: Level 5.
Telekinesis: 2.2 (global average for the same age: 1.5, global elite line for the same age: 15.)
Pets: None.
Zhou Yue's eyes fell on the telepathy value of "2.2": "The number is quite auspicious."
This is an era dominated by mysterious thoughts and miraculous beings.
He was about to graduate from high school and faced two choices.
One is to take the federal cultural examination, strive to get into college, find a job after graduation, go on a blind date, get married, have children... just like most ordinary people.
The second is to participate in the telepathy selection competition. The winner will enter the Legacy Academy and have the opportunity to become a telepathy cultivator and usher in a different life.
The Heritage Academy is said to be located in the Sky City, which is a flying city built with telekinesis technology.
The people there have higher lifespans and telekinesis than the citizens of the cities on the ground, and it is a place where telepaths and miraculous beings live together.
But their coordinates can never be found on the world map.
There are rumors on the Internet that only by wearing a black windbreaker and taking a black umbrella and taking the subway line 0 at midnight on a windy and rainy day can one reach the corresponding heritage academy in the respective ground city.
None of the keyboard explorers, including Zhou Yue, have ever found the subway that can fly into the sky.
Like all high school students around the world, he is full of yearning for the mysterious Relic Academy.
However, his telepathy value increased very slowly, and it has not changed for several months since it increased from 2.0 to 2.2.
He is not too bad in the class and is at the middle level. However, he is far from the minimum entry standard for telekinesis selection competition (psychiatric power value of 15) and is not qualified to participate.
A turning point came at the end of last year.
When Zhou Yue went to the pet market with his father to purchase goods, he bought two insect eggs.
One of them actually hatched a very rare miraculous creature among insects, with a race limit of up to level 30 [Swordsmanship Wind Mantis].
According to relevant regulations, if you contribute a rare miraculous creature to the Relic Academy for free, you will have a chance to get extra points, or even directly enter the academy.
Although Zhou Yue was reluctant to give up before, he finally reluctantly decided to offer his Wind Mantis before the selection competition began.
He knew very well that Sky City controlled the ration formula for spiritual pets after level 10.
Moreover, it is impossible for ordinary people to keep miraculous creatures forever.
Unless you become a meditator.
…
5:36.
Zhou Yue walked out of the storage room and saw several small creatures sitting in a row with their little heads raised.
Like the swordsman wind mantis, the black cat, golden-winged snake and Zhumu bird fostered in his shop are not native species.
As early as the end of the 19th century, their native species became extinct.
The survivors evolved into powerful miraculous creatures with the help of ancient ruins.
For example, the Everest bird looks like a pocket version of the red-crowned crane. The adult Everest bird can not only fly in the stratosphere more than 10 kilometers on its wing hands, but can also absorb lightning.
The golden-winged snake has a pair of fleshy wings on its back, giving it the ability to glide or become invisible as an adult.
As for black cats, everyone knows the slang saying that black cats in the capital know how to palm.
Different from the rare swordsmanship wind mantis, these three little creatures are common varieties among miraculous creatures, with a maximum race level of 20.
Just because they are currently below level 10 and in infancy, according to the agreement, they have the qualifications to be fostered in the above-ground city.
Zhou Yue sequentially checked their oral cavity, measured their body temperature, tested their feces, cleaned their anal glands and recorded changes in their attribute points. In fact, the attribute points of young cute pets will basically not change.
6:25.
After Zhou Yue washed his hands, he ran into the kitchen, fastened his bib with ease, turned on the video recording function on his mobile phone, and began to prepare pet food.
He uploads some videos every day to reassure his sponsors and promote his store.
6:55.
Breakfast is all ready.
Black cats, Everest birds, and golden-winged snakes huddle together to enjoy breakfast.
Only the beetle was the quietest, lying alone at Zhou Yue's feet, eating beetle jelly.
Its scientific name is the bifurcated rhinoceros beetle, commonly known as the one-horned fairy.
Compared with the black cats and the others, the unicorns who only make "loud" noises are obviously not spiritual, and there is never any emotional change in their eyes.
It is a native species that cannot evolve, but by luck it met an owner who treated it equally.
7:55.
The cell phone rang.
is a video call request.
Zhou Yue clicked on it, and a beautiful girl's face appeared on the frameless screen.
She is Zhao Yaran, a top student in the same class as Zhou Yue.
In another time and space, Zhou Yue had not seen this beautiful girl since he graduated from high school.
It wasn't until much later that I heard that she had left the country after divorcing her second-generation official husband.
"I have something to do, so we can't meet until this afternoon. The responsibility for Xiaojian's incident is mine...I will try my best to make up for it."
…
The little sword is the swordsmanship wind mantis that "Zhou Yue" has worked hard to incubate and prepare to pay tribute to.
The secret that originally belonged to Zhou Yue was accidentally discovered by Zhao Yaran.
From then on, the relationship between the two began to become closer.
Zhao Yaran's parents are both prominent figures in Nanhe City, and he is also one of the top ten students in Nanhe City's No. 2 Middle School.
Her telekinesis value is close to 40, far above the elite level, and she has a high chance of being selected into the Legacy Academy.
"Zhou Yue" trusted her very much.
Until three days ago, the accident happened.
The two met to go to the Biological Museum. "Zhou Yue" went to the bathroom on the way and entrusted the little sword to Zhao Yaran's care. When he came back, he saw an anxious Zhao Yaran and told him that the little sword was missing.
That afternoon, the two of them searched the library but couldn't find the little sword.
…
In the three days since he came back from rebirth, Zhou Yue complained a lot about his big-hearted ex.
If it were him, he would definitely keep the secret secret and not let anyone know about the existence of the little sword from the beginning, let alone hand the little sword into other people's hands.
When he was a teenager, his love for pets was very simple, unlike his later days when he became more utilitarian due to the pressure of life.
People who really love pets are often very simple themselves.
After the incident happened, Zhao Yaran took the initiative to take responsibility and offered to compensate "Zhou Yue".
The little sword was lost so strangely. His predecessor "Zhou Yue" was simple but not stupid, so he naturally thought of some possibility.
After suffering a heavy blow, he fell into despair after returning home. He was confused and his consciousness drifted away. He was occupied by Zhou Yue, who had stayed up late and worked overtime in another time and space and died suddenly.
Zhou Yue raised his head: "What kind of compensation are you going to give me?"
Zhao Yaran was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly for a long time: "A large sum of money. See you at the Spiritual Pet Impression Cafe at 1:30 in the afternoon."
Zhao Yaran didn't notice the flash of sarcasm in Zhou Yue's eyes. She was looking at the unicorn fairy crawling around on the ground: "It's rare that you still keep it. Unfortunately, the crawlers on the ground can never leave the ground and fly into the sky."
After hanging up the video, Zhou Yue casually picked up the beetle jelly that was pushed out of the dinner plate by the unicorn fairy: "Did you hear that? I'm lying down."
The one-horned fairy "Two Forks" hatched from the eggs bought together with the Swordsman Wind Mantis.
One is a low-level native species, and the other is an extraordinary species among miraculous creatures.
According to the caste sequence of miraculous creatures, the talents of extraordinary species are still above those of extraordinary species such as black cats, Zhumu birds, and golden-winged snakes.
Although Ercha and Xiaojian often stick together and play together, from the moment they emerge from their eggs, the two insects are destined to have completely different fates.
Zhou Yue couldn't tell that Zhao Yaran's words just now did not purely refer to Ercha.
It's referring to him.
To be precise, it was the "him" from before.
But what's the difference now?
"The sky is not our limit, right Ercha?"
After Zhou Yue finished speaking, he laughed. He actually wanted to find a sense of identity from a beetle, and he was also drunk.
What can a unicorn know?
At this time, Zhou Yue felt that the One-horned Immortal suddenly raised his head and glanced at him.
He was startled and felt dizzy.
On the first day after Zhou Yue was reborn, he often felt this way.
He guessed that it might be because the fusion of his newly reborn consciousness and body was still unstable.
But why does it appear again now?
At some point, the one-horned fairy crawled to Zhou Yue's feet, spread its elytra, and made a "loud" sound toward the sky.
It was as if a window had opened in the void, and purple skylight enveloped Zhou Yue.
The next second, one person and one insect disappeared into the pet shop at the same time.
