73 -73: The Zoo in the Palm_1
Just as Mu You had guessed, when he and Cola exited the mouth of Qubai Mountain, around the entire perimeter, the police had set up a strict blockade made up of people.
Mu You could even see thermal imagers and other anti-cloak tools through the eyes of his Battle Eagle.
Using just the Invisibility Cloak was certainly not going to work.
In the end, Mu You climbed into his backpack, which was disguised as a small cloth bag, and let Cola hold the bag in its mouth, disguised as a wild cat through the Illusion Technique.
Only then, without arousing military attention, did they break through the blockade.
Of course, after escaping the big mountain, things were much simpler.
Mu You and Cola immediately switched places, with Cola resting inside the backpack and Mu You carrying the backpack home.
However, Mu You dared not take a taxi directly, but instead ran all the way to the freeway under the cover of the Invisibility Cloak.
He watched for a passing cargo truck and teleported to its roof, hitching a ride back to the city before jogging home.
By the time he had gone through all this trouble to get back to the pet shop, it was already 11pm.
To Mu You’s surprise, the shop door was not locked!
“Could Little Ya still be here?”
Feeling a bit strange, Mu You took off his watchman skin and entered the shop. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The shop was pitch black, with no lights on and no sound.
It looked rather eerie.
Opening his backpack, Cola immediately jumped out and ran towards his food bowl, starting to gulp down water.
After spending the entire day with Mu You, it ate enough cat food, but hardly had time to drink water and was hence very thirsty.
Mu You didn’t bother about it and walked into the shop with his bag.
Upon reaching the kitchen, he saw someone sitting upright at the dining table.
The moonlight from the window outlined a slender figure.
“Little Ya, you haven’t left?
Why are there no lights on?”
Without thinking much, Mu You switched on the wall light as he spoke.
“Click”
The lights illuminated the room instantly.
Only then did Mu You see that the person sitting at the table was not Little Ya, but Lin Xue.
“Little Snow?”
“Mm.”
Lin Xue nodded, looked Mu You up and down, noticing his tired appearance and the dirt on his shoes, she hesitated slightly, “Are you…
okay?”
On the other side of the table, Little Ya, who had been fast asleep, was now awakened by the bright light.
Looking at Mu You, she finally woke up a bit, “Oh, boss!
You’re finally back!
If you didn’t come back, Sister Xue and I were going to call the police!”
“Cough, rest assured, I’m fine, just went out for a bit, had some things to do, and couldn’t get a taxi, so I ran back.”
Mu You was a bit embarrassed, but quite moved at heart.
He didn’t expect the two girls would wait for him until so late.
“Have you eaten, boss?
I have ordered takeout for you in the fridge; you can heat it up in the microwave…” Little Ya got up and spoke, but she was so sleepy that she was barely able to keep her eyes open.
She was about to fall forward while speaking.
Mu You immediately wanted to help, but Lin Xue beat him to it.
“We’ll leave first now that you’re okay.” Lin Xue glanced at Mu You, then helped Little Ya towards the exit.
“I’ll walk you out.”
Mu You quickly came forward to help.
The already half-asleep Little Ya was helped out of the door by the two of them.
Mu You was thinking about hailing a taxi for them when a Maserati stopped perfectly in front of the three of them.
“Miss.”
Lin Xue’s driver got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Should I bring Little Ya to stay at my place for the night?” Lin Xue asked, looking at Mu You.
“Sure, that works, thanks.”
“No problem.”
The two of them helped the sleeping Little Ya onto the back seat of the car.
This girl’s biological clock was impressive; being moved around didn’t wake her up.
Lin Xue also got into the car, but before leaving, she rolled down the window and leaned over, “By the way, the stuff you bought has arrived.
We put it in the warehouse on the second floor, remember to pick it up.”
“Okay, thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
Lin Xue and Little Ya’s characters are really quite different.
Little Ya is more carefree, she doesn’t hold grudges and says whatever comes to mind, you feel no pressure being around her.
Lin Xue, on the other hand, is always reserved, polite, and has propriety.
She’s not overly enthusiastic with people, but she doesn’t come off as cold either.
Her company doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable in any way, but at the same time, it always has a subtle sense of distance, quite delicate.
He watched as the car took off and drove away.
Mu You stood in front of the shop, smoking a cigarette and reflecting on the day’s thrilling adventures.
Of course, the rewards were equally thrilling…
Suddenly, a cigarette burned out, Mu You crushed the cigarette butt, and accurately flicked it into the trash can.
When he got home, he closed the rolling door, hastily finished his dinner, and ran to the bathroom to fill a bucket of clean water.
Then he went to Lin Xue’s pet treatment room, took bandages and a first aid kit, and went upstairs.
The unicorn had been in a dangerous state of near-death all day, and Mu You didn’t have time to check on it during the journey.
Now that he was home, he had to treat its wounds no matter what.
Switching the backpack to suitcase mode, Mu You took the bucket and the box and climbed into the space of the backpack.
Outside the hut, in the corner of a grassland the size of a football field, the poor unicorn was crouching with its limbs and lying on the ground, constantly licking its wounds, big and small.
Several hours had passed, and it continued to bleed faintly from its body.
The silver droplets of blood stained the nearby lawn, making the grass around it noticeably thicker.
The mandrake curiously leaned next to the unicorn, occasionally sneaking a touch on it with its finger, then licks it, like a child who tastes sugar, running around the unicorn, seemingly wanting to call it to play.
Unfortunately, the weak unicorn had no energy to pay attention to it.
The mandrake was not discouraged, it kept running around it, frolicking on its own accord; every now and then, it would roll on the ground, self-entertaining, its attribute for amusement is simply high.
Until a sound of footsteps echoed from afar.
The mandrake paused, turned its head mechanically, and upon seeing the biped approaching in the distance, it hastily waved its little legs and ran to a corner.
Using all four limbs, it quickly dug a hole and buried itself pretending to be an ordinary little grass.
Mu You paid no attention to the mandrake and walked directly to the unicorn.
Now, looking at him, the unicorn was also shivering, desperately trying to shrink into the corner, its face screaming ‘don’t come near me’.
If it hadn’t been injured so severe and couldn’t move, it might have run faster than the mandrake.
“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous; I’m not here to hurt you!”
Mu You quickly stopped, put down the stuff in his hands, raised both hands to indicate harmless intention, and spoke softly.
After all, this creature was precious, needed to be cherished, and selling oneself would not be worth as much as it.
Seeing it calmed down a bit, he took out his magic wand and cast ‘Animal Dialogue’ on it.
“Don’t worry, no one here will hurt you… Oh, although I might draw a little bit of your blood in the future… But I promise, you’re absolutely safe here!”
“Look, these are wound treatments.
I’ll bandage you up, and you will be back to normal.
Otherwise, you will die.”
Mu You tried to explain with the first aid kit, not knowing if the unicorn understood as ‘Animal Dialogue’ was quite weak when used on advanced creatures.
Fortunately, the unicorn seemed to understand his meaning, or perhaps sensed his sincerity.
Either way, it lay down without struggling and quietly let Mu You treat its wounds.
As the owner of a pet shop, Mu You had learned some pet external injury treatment techniques, albeit his skills were rough.
After cleansing the unicorn’s wounds and bandaging it up, Mu You had wrapped the unicorn like a mummy, with thick bandages all over its body.
“That’s it for now.
I will look for healing potions or something in the game later.”
Mu You clapped his hands and stood up, quite satisfied with his accomplishment.
Despite the unattractive bandaging, it had indeed stopped bleeding.
Now he did not have to worry that the unicorn may die at any time.
After treating the unicorn, Mu You went to the small shed to check on the spider egg.
To his surprise, the little spider had inexplicably leveled up to level 2!
He quickly opened the game and read the instructions.
Now, under the section on familiars, an additional warning had appeared in the explanations of the Gluttonous Demon Spider.
[Current digestion process: 55%]
Mu You realized that the little spider, having swallowed so many things before, did not immediately digest them but stored them in its stomach and slowly absorbed their energy.
After confirming this, Mu You was relieved.
He was wondering how it was possible that after consuming energy from nearly an entire forest, it had only leveled up once.
According to this rate of food consumption, this kind of creature could hardly grow on its own in the natural world.
As expected, there were follow-up actions!
Then, Mu You decisively took the spider egg to the bear corpse that he had stored earlier, and commanded the little spider to absorb the bear corpse as well.
Once the absorption was over, he checked the progress again.
The digestion rate had become 42%.
When the current storage was depleted, it should be able to level up one or two more times!
“When it is born, it would be at least a level four magical beast.
Not bad, not bad!”
Mu You was quite satisfied with this result.
He hung the spider egg back in the corner, and then went to check the condition of the Fwooper.
The Fwooper was very alert.
Seeing Mu You approaching, it hurriedly used its wings to protect the eggs underneath it, watching him vigilantly.
“Rest assured, I don’t want your eggs…
By the way, what do you eat?”
Mu You suddenly thought of this question.
Currently, his backpack was cramped with magical creatures, the little spider, the Fwooper and its eggs, the mandrake, and the unicorn, each occupying a corner, gradually showing a tendency to transform into a zoo.
However, the problem wasn’t catching those magical creatures but how to take care of them in the future was more important.
The little spider was fine, it wasn’t picky and could be stuffed with anything that had energy.
But for the unicorn, Fwooper, and the Chocobo that would hatch in the future, Mu You was clueless about what to feed them.
