What’s the first thing you should do when you get a new skill?
Of course, try it first.
Shiraishi dragged the skill into the shortcut bar and selected to activate it.
Use the early CD early. Although this will run the risk of "not being able to summon the hound when needed" in the next 24 hours, it is better than summoning it when your life is hanging by a thread in the future, only to find out that it is a scam.
many.
After activation, the icon with the Q version of the canine creature immediately turns gray, with a 24-hour countdown on it.
But... Shiraishi looked at the empty coffee table in front of him, and then looked down at the ground. Not to mention the dog, there was no dog hair.
The summoning failed? Does this skill still have a failure rate?
Or did he summon an invisible ghost dog?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt an itch on the back of my waist, as if something had brushed against me.
Shiraishi was startled, turned his back and grabbed it. The next second, he grabbed a puppy half an arm long from the gap between himself and the back of the sofa.
"..." The appearance was quite low-key. He thought it would be like a ninjutsu, with a puff of white smoke exploding first, and then a group of dogs wearing unconventional headbands and doing chuuni poses would pop out...
Having said that, this "hound" looks so weak. No wonder it "loves peace". If it wasn't for peace, it would have been killed long ago... Shiraishi carried the newly acquired pet and looked around.
Based on today's experience, he originally thought that this would be a young Doberman Pinscher.
Unexpectedly, this little guy is covered in soft white fur, has a black nose, golden eyes, a pointed lower jaw, narrow eyes, and a tail that is much fluffier and longer than that of dogs.
Staring at its prominent vertical pupils for a moment, Bai Shi made a sound in his heart.
What kind of hound? This is basically a fox.
It feels quite good, the fur is soft and smooth, and it is very clean, with no peculiar smell at all. It is indeed produced by the system, and it is different from wild canines.
Could it be that the strange use is not to refer to hot pot, but to put it around the neck as a scarf?
Thinking this way, Shiraishi couldn't help but give it a try. Unfortunately, the fox wasn't long enough. As soon as he let go, it slid straight down, and finally narrowly caught Shiraishi's clothes on his left shoulder with his front paws, preventing it from falling to the ground.
But hanging in the air wasn't very comfortable either. The fox patted its tail on his back and protested mightily: "Ugh."
"It's so cute, it looks like a little bitch at first glance..." Bai Shi lifted it up to his eyes with his backhand, glanced down, and paused, "..."
He raised his eyes again, and they looked at each other awkwardly for a moment. After a few seconds, Shiraishi put the fox on the table and slapped it on the shoulder: "Show your manliness, tracking hound!"
The little fox's front paws slipped and he pushed him down. It really loved peace as the system said, so it didn't scratch or bite anyone. It resigned itself to lying on the table and stretched out its paws to pull at the animal next to it.
Potato chip bag.
"..." Why do these system creatures seem more unreliable than the last?
But now he doesn't have many skills and props, so he has to make the best use of them even if they are not reliable.
Shiraishi thought for a moment and quickly began to practice.
Including but not limited to "hide things and let them find them", "throw a ball to see if it can catch it", "since the IQ is not lower than that of a child, can I hold a pen and write", "can I learn if I can't"?
, "Let's just tap the keyboard" and waited for several small experiments, 30 minutes later, it was finally almost over.
"There are still a few things I haven't tried yet... I don't have time. Let's do it next time."
Looking at the gasping fox on the wooden floor, Shiraishi turned around and sat on the sofa, preparing to make the last observation of the day - how will it disappear after the time limit is reached?
On the left side of the light screen, there is a countdown bar that lasts 30 minutes, and now there are only 5 seconds left.
5,4,3,2……
When it was about to reach 1, the fox, which had collapsed into a piece of cake, suddenly bounced up and slithered into the small space under the coffee table.
1
The countdown is over.
The living room was silent, and it didn't come out from under the coffee table for a long time.
Bai Shi lay down and looked into the gap under the table. As expected, it was empty and there was nothing inside.
Thinking about the way the fox appears, Shiraishi probably came to the conclusion that in order to cater to the "scientific" world view of the world, it will try its best to choose "scientific" ways of entering and exiting.
Except that it can't be used for fighting, everything else is fine. Especially when winter comes, you can hold it out to warm your hands, and you don't need to feed dog food, it won't get sick, it won't howl, and it doesn't need to be walked. It's a good pet.
After all this trouble, it was already very late.
Shiraishi simply washed up, changed into pajamas, and fell into bed.
When he first came to a strange world, he originally wanted to plan for the future. But the quilt was too soft, and he hadn't even planned for tomorrow yet. He had already closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into a dream.
…
The next day, Shiraishi was woken up by a ringing sound that sounded like a reminder.
He reached for his pillow in a daze, wanting to turn off the alarm clock and wake up naturally, but after groping for a long time, he couldn't reach anything.
Dazed for a moment, Shiraishi opened his eyes.
He looked at the old-fashioned light tube above his head and looked around the still-familiar bedroom. He slowly remembered that he was no longer the happy contemporary young man with a smartphone.
With a disappointed sigh, Baishi lifted up the quilt and walked out of bed.
If it's not a mobile phone alarm clock, it must be a landline phone.
He didn't have a landline phone at home, but there was one in the coffee shop outside.
The store door has been locked long ago, the rolling shutter door and blinds have been lowered, and the room is very dark.
Although he could see at night, the dark environment still made people uncomfortable. Shiraishi turned on the light beside the counter and walked over to answer the ringing phone, "Hello?"
A strange female voice came from the receiver, the tone was gentle and royal: "Shiraishi? It's me, Miyano~"
This was the kind of voice that made people feel better once they heard it, but Shiraishi frowned after hearing it.
One is because this "strangeness" seems to be one-sided - it sounds like the other person knows him, but he doesn't know anything.
Second, after "Miyano" said hello, he immediately asked a question that made Shiraishi uncomfortable: "Why didn't you come to class?"
...Go to class? Isn’t he just a white-washed gangster + unemployed vagrant? Why does he still have to go to class?
Could it be that when the system randomly made up his name, it also gave him an identity to facilitate access to more cases?
Shiraishi sighed again. Normally, a "original owner's memory package" should be sent at this time.
But this is impossible, because Shiraishi is very sure that what he is using now is his own body, or at least a copy of his own body, so there is no such thing as "the soul and memory of the original owner"...
A bunch of thoughts flashed through my mind, but I still had to deal with the current situation.
Bai Shi pinched his nose and said, "Sorry, I caught a cold. I accidentally overslept and I just woke up."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the senior sister opposite suddenly raised her voice and "repeated" in surprise and worry:
"Appendicitis?! That's a bit serious... Oh, I've just had the surgery. Well, then today's seminar..."
She paused, temporarily left the receiver, and whispered a few words to the person next to her.
I could vaguely tell that the other person was a middle-aged and elderly man, and he spoke in a literate manner, like an old scholar.
Shiraishi's forehead jumped, shocked by her sexy moves. This classmate on the other side of the phone, why are you so skilled?!
