Deep in the Living-Chapter 453 - 441: Pet Shop

"Plant Pot" is considered one of the best-selling categories in the Black Coffin Supermarket,

occupying the entire second floor of the supermarket.

Most Corner monsters come to the supermarket for the first time hoping to choose a cost-effective plant pot for themselves. Only by giving their pituitary the best development can they gain a foothold in the Corner.

"Dear customers, the plant pot sales floor is currently at full capacity. Please take a number and queue up. Currently, there are 332 people ahead of you, with an estimated wait time of 21 hours and 58 minutes.

You can choose to rest in the waiting area, where drinking water, light meals, massage chairs, and a television are provided for free.

Alternatively, you can shop on other floors and you will be notified when it’s your turn."

"So many people!?"

Hua Yuan did not expect that after traveling so far to shop, she would have to wait in line for an entire day. Her mood instantly soured, but she didn’t want to vent.

Wu Wen didn’t care, seemingly unconcerned with the issue of time and instead happy to have leisurely time to wander around the supermarket.

"Sister Hua, it’s alright. We’re here for the first time; we can browse each floor. Trust me, once you start wandering the supermarket, time flies.

Plus, the supermarket itself provides accommodation services. I’ll make the reservation."

Wu Wen immediately confirmed her personal information with the staff and paid for the overnight stay.

Three coffins were quickly delivered, along with a shoulder strap to drag the coffin behind you, allowing you to sleep at any time.

The bottom of the coffin was specially soundproofed, so it wouldn’t make any noise during dragging.

"Sister Hua, do you have any handy weapons, clothing, or accessories?"

Hua Yuan shook her head, "Is that kind of thing really necessary? I’ve never liked relying on external objects; my body is enough... Maybe it’s better to buy some supplements that can enhance the body or high-grade nutrients that can strengthen plants."

"Sure, let’s check them out~ we have plenty of time anyway."

Wu Wen tightly held Hua Yuan’s arm, and the latter seemed to have never had such a "shopping" experience, whether as a human or a Pseudo-Person.

Thinking of many things that could be slowly chosen, the inner self of the young girl was slowly awakening.

Entering the elevator,

after the two sisters pressed the floor button, Luo Di also reached out and pressed a button for the fourth floor.

"Huh? Luo Di, you’re not coming with us?"

"You guys go ahead; I’ll take a look at the fourth floor and catch up soon. It won’t take long."

Wu Wen glanced at the arm pendant on Luo Di’s chest, "Alright~ remember to be quick."

"Mhm."

The fourth floor arrived first,

as soon as the elevator door opened, there was a certain smell. Although the supermarket used a lot of air fresheners, the smell of meat lingered in the air.

[Fourth Floor - Biological Sales Floor]

This floor is different from the open structure of the first floor.

Most are individual stores with detailed categories posted at the entrance. If needed, you have to go inside for detailed discussions.

Primarily slave shops, corresponding to some monsters new to the Corner without an organization to rely on, and some low-level lives that lost themselves due to disasters.

In addition, there are quite a few "Construction Shops."

As the name suggests, some monsters skilled in body creation and sewing use limbs to create some sewing monsters, like the biological bus most common in the Sisterhood, which is a sewn creation.

These sewing monsters often serve as high-quality followers, without concerns about betrayal or management issues.

There are also some "Limb Stores."

High-quality monster limbs are sold here,

These limbs can be used as equipment materials, processed in the kitchen, or used as the construction material for advanced life forms, among others.

There are even some body-level monsters that can enhance themselves through limb attachment.

When Luo Di passed by a limb store, there was a pinwheel made of ten arms at the entrance, which looked interesting, yet he restrained his curiosity, focusing on the most important task at hand.

Finally, there’s the [Pet Shop].

But pets here are not quite the same as the usual concept.

Due to the special environment of the Corner, there are no native beings, unlike True Hell which has various Hell beasts.

99.99% of the creatures in the Corner ascended from the Human World,

only a few, like "Lebeite," are natural monsters that are born and grow up successfully in the Corner.

The so-called "pets" are essentially monster-modified or, like above, specially pieced-together slave creatures.

They hardly relate to being cute, yet their obedience level is maxed, and their behavior is completely removed from humans, closer to the concept of pets.

They either satisfy certain monsters’ extreme pet-raising hobbies,

or serve as good hands for guarding homes, as some monsters still want a guard dog after buying a house in the Corner.

Luo Di searched around and finally found the shop he was looking for.

[Lisa Pet Shop]

Main business: Selling, appraising, recycling, and renting small pets.

Although it sells small pets, the shop itself is not small, and its decoration is quite luxurious.

The last letter "a" of the [Lisa] sign at the entrance is replaced by an expensive cat’s eye stone.

It is evident that the owner of this shop is quite wealthy.

As soon as Luo Di pushed the door, he was engulfed by a heavy perfume scent, accompanied by a syrupy voice.

"Welcome! Please wait a moment, we will serve you immediately."

At first glance, Luo Di didn’t respond but was startled by the shopkeeper sitting inside the counter. Not only was the shop large, but the shopkeeper in front of him was also huge.

She could easily compete with the previous five-hundred-pound lady from the Sisterhood.

Her hands were still engaged in a movement similar to "knitting a sweater,"

and of course, this was not yarn, but a biological tissue. A strange creature resembling a cross between a monkey and a hairless cat had essentially formed.

In addition, odd little creatures were locked in various metal cages within the shop. From some angle, they seemed somewhat cute, but mostly they were just deformed and strange.

After the shopkeeper finished her handiwork, she lifted her eyes to look at the customer and immediately locked onto the Crow Colt on his shoulder.

Her seemingly corpulent body moved over in an instant, glaring her eyes to scrutinize it and quickly came to a conclusion,

"This... is not a Corner creature, though there are traces of Fear between its feathers, they were probably acquired after living in the Corner.

It’s not a crow from Earth either.

Are you a Connector, human?"

"Yes."

The shopkeeper’s gaze turned sharp, "If you want to sell this thing, I can offer a high price personally, but not too high, since this is the first time such a thing appears on the market."

"I never said I wanted to sell it."

"... Come on, young man! We can discuss the price. Why not let me perform a comprehensive check on this crow first?"

The shopkeeper tried to reach out and touch it, but all the feathers on the Crow Colt flared up, each concealing an Eye watching her.

This form display made the shopkeeper even more intrigued. Her large head also split open from the middle, revealing various cat heads inside, staring at the Crow Colt.

"This is my partner, not for sale...but I do need money."

The shopkeeper rubbed her palms together, "Can you continue bringing similar animals from over there? I can also buy them back at a high price."

"I can’t bring them over. I need to return to the Human World first to connect my Consciousness over there. Besides, performing a complete biological transfer is quite troublesome.

However, I do have another way.

Do you have any other crows here? Or can your abilities transcend reproductive isolation, boss?"

Luo Di’s suggestion inspired the shopkeeper, "That’s simple! I’m best at creating and breeding pets... I don’t have any crows here, but just give me a feather and some flesh, and I can use biological materials to create a breeding vessel.

Let’s give it a try, maybe it really will work."

"How do we calculate the money?"

"Corner breeding will inevitably contaminate its genes, so the offspring obtained may not be pure. We’ll calculate based on the quality of the offspring then.

I can personally offer between 50 and 200 each."

"100 minimum, no cap. If possible, I’ll breed it here at your place... If not, I’ll look elsewhere."

"I can’t afford that price by myself, you’ll have to look elsewhere."

"Alright."

Luo Di didn’t hesitate a bit and turned to leave.

However, he hadn’t walked several steps before the shopkeeper squeezed her chubby body to catch up, "Come on, come on~ Just start by trying at my place! I love little pets the most; even if I lose money, I have to give it a shot.

If we can indeed produce offspring and the quality is truly good, we might consider a long-term collaboration in the future."

"Alright."

Luo Di glanced at the Crow Colt on his shoulder, initially thinking it would resist, but unexpectedly it was overly cooperative. It seemed that as long as it wasn’t sold, anything could go.

The crow’s beak opened wide,

the Crow Colt directly regurgitated an entire dead crow as biological material.

It was essentially a conglomeration formed by a large number of crows, so separating a crow from it was not an issue.

Seeing this ability, the shopkeeper was even more excited,

with her instinct as a merchant, she faintly sensed an opportunity for profit. If this truly succeeded, her shop might further expand within the supermarket.
