Chapter 352 Daily Life in the Pet Shop
The next morning, at the pet shop.
Because Lin Xue was recovering from illness, the recent business hours were changed to only half a day in the afternoon.
Although the morning was a holiday, Xiaoya still came to the shop early as usual, and was shining the light of evolution on the pets in the space.
Mu You was refining magic potions in front of the alchemy table in the corner.
Under the crucible stand, the young fire spirit continued to emit stable heat, and the crucible above gradually began to emit white smoke during the slow cooking.
Mu You held a glass rod and stirred the white smoke, allowing the white smoke to remain in a spiral shape and slowly flow out in all directions. Any expert who saw his skilled movements would have to praise his experience. After all, Mu You had just practiced these few seconds of movements thousands of times and had already mastered them.
A moment later, under Mu You's control, the flames on the fire spirit's head gradually shrank, and a small ball of viscous liquid in the crucible finally took shape in the smoke.
Mu You carefully used the floating spell to control the crucible, and poured the boiling potion into the ice-blue cooling test tube beside it.
After doing all this, he exhaled and checked the potion information with the omniscient crystal.
[Aphasia Potion (Rare): After taking it, the user will lose the ability to speak for a period of time in the future. 】
This potion was prepared by Mu You specifically for the mermaid.
The mermaid had previously sung in the evil spirit sea to help him calm the octopus king, causing serious trauma to her throat. At that time, Mu You thought about whether he could use potions to help her regulate it.
This aphasia potion will make people lose their voices for a period of time. The effect seems to be completely different from her illness, but in fact, this potion has a hidden benefit, that is, after the effect of the medicine is over, the vocal cords will become stronger, and the voice of the user will become clearer and more pleasant.
Therefore, many singers will take this potion a few days before some important performances to make the performance better.
After discussing with Vivian, Mu You and Vivian both felt that this potion might be effective for her illness, because what the mermaid needed was not to be injured again after making a sound, but to restore her voice permanently, which would require fundamentally changing the strength of her vocal cords.
This potion was only a third-level potion, and it was not difficult to make, but one of the main ingredients was a "bitter shell", which was known as the hardest shell in the world. It would take a long time to boil this shell into juice, even with the help of the fire spirit.
Before, the longest time Mu You used the pocket watch and the Fool Card could not reach the minimum time limit for making this potion, but now the backtracking has been upgraded to ten seconds, and the Fool barrier lasts for an hour, so he can finally try to make it.
Putting away the materials on the table, Mu You took the aphasia potion and came to the lake, whistling at the calm lake.
A few seconds later, a mermaid popped out of the middle of the lake, and Mu You waved to her, and the mermaid swam towards the shore.
"Potion that can cure your throat."
Mu You handed the potion to her: "Remember, don't swallow it, hold it in your mouth and let it dissipate by itself."
The mermaid lay on the shore, looking at the blue bottle in Mu You's hand suspiciously, carefully reaching out to take it, and sniffing it in front of her nose. The pungent smell from it made her look disgusted, and her intuition told her that this thing would not taste good.
However, under the gaze of Mu You, she hesitated for a moment, but still tilted her head back and poured the potion into her mouth.
"Hmm..."
The result was even more unpalatable than she imagined. The unique bitterness of the bitter shell fully dissipated in her mouth. The mermaid's little face, the facial features instantly wrinkled into a ball, looked extremely painful, and subconsciously wanted to vomit.
"Don't vomit, this tube of materials is very expensive." Mu You hurriedly said.
Although the mermaid was in pain, she also knew that this was something useful to her, so she had to continue to tilt her head back and maintain a painful expression. She persisted for about a minute before the potion in her mouth finally dissipated.
"Yes, one tube of potion can take effect for about six days. Come once a week. After a course of treatment, you can basically speak normally." Mu You nodded with satisfaction.
The mermaid had no time to listen to his nagging. After drinking the potion, she quickly swam to the lake to rinse her mouth.
Mu You didn't care. He turned his head and looked at a big tree more than ten meters away.
At this time, Ye Rumeng was hiding behind the big tree, showing her head, secretly observing his interaction with the mermaid.
Looking at the bottle in Mu You's hand, some curiosity flashed in the little girl's eyes.
"Why hide so far away? Come and see if you want to see it." Mu You said to her.
The little girl hurriedly shook her head and hid behind the tree.
After more than ten seconds, she showed her head again and asked suspiciously: "Don't you Autobots usually drink gasoline?"
"Are you still entangled in this matter..."
Mu You laughed: "How do you know I didn't drink it?"
"I looked everywhere, there is no gasoline barrel at home!" Ye Rumeng said seriously.
"Gasoline is a thing of the past, now it's all powered by magic!"
"It's like this!"
Ye Rumeng was surprised, as if she had obtained some important information, and hurriedly took out a small notebook to write and draw on it.
Mu You smiled and ignored her, took out his phone and logged into the game.
[You appear in the Elf Forest...]
The cooling of the Elf Horn ended last night, and Mu You blew the horn on time.
But the elf mission that was refreshed this time was quite bad.
The fairy still did not appear, and the forest elves were still in the Utopia mission. Now that the dream butterfly has not been obtained, this mission can only be watched.
There was a task to escort the messenger to the land of the dead on the side of the Sunlight Elves. Mu You had planned to do this this week, but it didn't come out this week. According to Salina, it seems that there was some movement on the side of the dead. The city of the dead has been quite active these days, so the task is temporarily postponed until it stabilizes.
Mu You couldn't do the tasks of the three tribes, so he could only look at the last one.
The task of the Dark Elves this week is to "repair the damaged temple" and help them find several important repair materials. The task itself is not difficult to do. You just need to run errands and deliver things between several elves. The rewards are also quite ordinary, reputation plus a fixed property in the Undercity.
This task is actually dispensable, but with the previous experience of the Sunlight Elves, Mu You estimated that each tribe will have a similar reputation-boosting task. Only when you are familiar enough, will they give you a real high-level task.
So Mu You still accepted this task and is currently running the task.
Apart from the tasks, the rest of the time is relatively easy. The current strategy in the game focuses on the dungeon, and the dungeon has only three hours of exploration time every day. The rest of the time, Mu You will take the characters to the academy to learn magic.
"Ah!"
Mu You was busy brushing tasks here, and suddenly heard Xiao Ya's exclamation from a distance.
"Boss, your egg is going to break!"
"???"
Mu You was confused, and hurriedly got up to take a look, and then he found that she was talking about pet eggs.
At this moment, Xiao Ya was sitting in the pile of animals, and the evolution scepter in her hand was still emitting a soft glow, and all kinds of animals fell around her.
And on the grass in front of her, there were two dragon eggs.
These were the two chimera eggs that Mu You brought back before. After getting the dragon taming stone, he asked Xiao Ya to take care of the two eggs every day when she shone the evolution light.
At this time, one of the eggs was motionless, while the surface of the other one had layers of cracks, and it was still trembling slightly. From time to time, there was a collision sound inside, and it was obvious that there was a little life inside trying to hatch.
Mu You's eyes lit up. The light of evolution had been shining for so many days, and the chimera was finally about to be born!
As the two watched, the dragon egg shook more and more violently, and more and more cracks appeared on the surface.
At this time, the other animals that were enjoying the light seemed to have a premonition of something, and they trembled one by one. Many small animals actually gave up the light and ran away.
After the dragon egg shook for dozens of seconds, the top of the eggshell finally broke completely, and a young dragon head popped out from the top of the shell, half-opened and half-closed its eyes and scanned the surroundings, then struggled violently, and soon squeezed out another head, followed by the dragon body, dragon wings, dragon tail...
After a while, a soft ball rolled on the grass, round and hairless, with a pair of flesh wings on the back still stuck together by the mucous membrane and not yet opened. Only one of the two heads was awake, and the other closed its eyes, lazily drooping on its belly, breathing evenly, as if it was sleeping soundly.
The awake head was now looking around vigilantly.
Finding that there were unknown creatures all around, the little dragon immediately opened its mouth and roared at the surroundings, as if threatening them not to get close. At the same time, there were faint sparks coming out of its mouth, but because it was just born and could not control it, it could not spit out fire.
Even without dragon breath, the natural suppression from the dragons had already frightened the surrounding animals that had not escaped. One by one, they ran away with their tails between their legs and quickly moved away from the vicinity.
Of course, there were also animals that were not afraid of dragon power, such as the little spider.
As a high-level monster, it would not be suppressed by the blood of dragons, not to mention that Chimera was only a sub-dragon.
At this time, the little spider saw that this newly hatched dragon dared to behave so fiercely, driving away other animals one after another, and enjoying the light of evolution alone. It was immediately angry, and its mouth moved, and it opened its mouth and sprayed a ball of spider silk at the two-headed dragon.
The spider silk automatically unfolded in the air and enveloped the young dragon. At this time, the two-headed dragon also sensed the danger and raised its head to spray. The dragon breath that had been unable to fire before finally emerged in the crisis this time.
A small flame burst out and hit the flying spider web, burning it clean in an instant.
Dragon breath is another natural enemy of spider silk, but the little spider is much more agile than the two-headed dragon. When the young dragon was breathing fire, the little spider had already gone around like lightning and bit the two-headed dragon on the butt.
However, its sharp fangs did not even break the skin of the little dragon.
The little spider bit it several times in a row, but no blood was seen.
The two-headed dragon just stretched out its claws blankly and scratched the bitten place, which felt like being bitten by a mosquito.
"It's worthy of being a dragon skin..."
Mu You was shocked. At this time, the all-knowing crystal had already fed back the information of this little guy.
[Chimera juvenile (level 7): attack power 24-30, defense power 470, health value 12000, magic value 3000, ability: dragon breath spitting, resistant skin, dragon pressure. 】
Born at level 7, the offensive power is not very outstanding, but the defense power is outrageous.
With a defense of nearly 500, ordinary physical attacks are almost ineffective against it. In addition, it has a passive ability such as resistant skin, which also has considerable resistance to many magics.
Seeing that the young dragon was still unruly and wanted to bite anyone, Mu You took out the dragon taming stone, cut a hole in the palm of his hand, and dripped blood on it.
As soon as the dragon training stone was taken out, the young dragon immediately looked over with fiery eyes and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen something delicious.
Mu You tried throwing the dragon training stone at it.
The two-headed dragon jumped up in a hurry, took the dragon training stone on his own initiative, held it in his arms and chewed it happily, and soon swallowed the stone completely.
"Quack!"
The two-headed dragon that had eaten the dragon training stone looked at Muyou with a completely different look. It swung its butt and ran up to him, pressed Muyou's legs with its thick and short dragon claws, and then turned over. She shrank her four paws and exposed her belly, looking like she was trying to please her.
Mu You picked up the chubby little guy with one hand. The two-headed dragon immediately stuck out its tongue, rubbed its head against his fingers, and made cute moves.
"It's so cute!" Xiaoya was captured instantly. The cute creature in front of her was completely different from the evil dragon with its toothy grin and vicious grin.
Before Mu You could say anything, the little spider suddenly crawled up his right hand and onto his palm. With a jumping dash, he knocked the two-headed dragon down. He occupied the palm of his hand and looked down provocatively before falling to the ground. The still confused baby dragon seemed to be declaring that this was its exclusive place.
Mu You looked amused and helpless, the little spider's instinct for favor seemed to be particularly strong.
Before, they were fighting with Little Phoenix. The two little guys were always deceiving each other. They each had eight hundred tricks and neither one would accept the other.
So when Mu You came back from behind the door last time, he had left the little Phoenix in the star spirit world.
The little phoenix has no concept of lifespan and will not be affected by the door. In the star spirit world, it usually follows the game characters to spawn monsters and can grow faster.
As a result, the little spider finally survived until the little phoenix left, and the two-headed dragon came again, and this time it was more ruthless, with rough skin and thick flesh, and two heads, which was equivalent to buy one get one free.
Mu You can already imagine what a lively scene the house will be like in the future.
…
Two days later, in a residential building in K City.
There are three monitors placed in the dim room, playing different surveillance images at double speed.
The young man in blue was sitting in front of the sofa, scanning the screen from time to time, but his main focus was still on the pile of information in his hand.
"Young Master, take a rest..." The middle-aged man next to him looked at the time and couldn't help but persuade him.
Before, he had thought that the young man's words about checking the information were just talk, and a simple spot check would turn the story around.
However, he soon discovered that he was wrong.
In the past two days, the young master of Fenglei Sect has really been like a robot. He has not rested for a minute. He has been reviewing information efficiently throughout the whole process, even when eating and drinking.
Sometimes the workaholic attitude of the other person makes him feel a little scared: Is this person really a human being?
"Where's the news on the 14th?" The young man asked without raising his head.
"It hasn't been found yet. There hasn't been any abnormality from the Dragon Group so far. Number 14 should not have fallen into their hands yet." The middle-aged man said.
"Even if you get No. 14, the Chinese officials won't let you see anything unusual." The young man said.
The middle-aged man was stunned: "But, if No. 14 has been found by the Dragon Group, those people will definitely move her to a safe place. It is even less likely that she will be in K City. Why are we still here... …”
The young man did not continue to argue with him, but suddenly looked at one of the screens.
"What does this store do?"
The middle-aged man looked over after hearing this and found that the two people targeted by the surveillance suddenly turned into a shop on the street while they were in a hurry.
"Oh, this is the pet shop that is very popular recently." The middle-aged man said.
"The pet shop... is famous?" the young man asked with a frown.
"It's very famous. It's basically the most popular pet store in China. It started the recent trend of magical pets." The middle-aged man said, searching for some news on his mobile phone and showing it to the young man.
The young man took the phone and looked at it carefully.
"According to the news, this store has a limited-time ticket system, and each tour lasts two hours, but these two people only entered for ten minutes and left..."
"Well, this... maybe it's because they had a mission at the time and didn't have much time to hang out. They just passed by and went in for a walk."
The middle-aged man was a little helpless. He felt that it was a bit picky to tell the truth about such a trivial matter. He had always paid attention to this store. If there was a chance, he would definitely go in and take a look. However, it was just because of his identity that he never stopped. go. Therefore, it was completely understandable for him that the two people in the surveillance were on a mission and passed by this store and went in curiously.
"We have also studied the follow-up of this part of monitoring, and there is no problem." The middle-aged man added.
"A lot of things can't be seen from the video... Let's go and see for ourselves."
The young man said and actually stood up and picked up his coat.
"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
"What?" The young man immediately saw the middle-aged man's hesitation.
"Young Master, I heard that the owner of this store has an official background in the Chinese Empire. It's best not to have any contact with him..." the middle-aged man said awkwardly. It was too late for them to keep a low profile, and they took the initiative to meet with the Chinese officials... This was like a thief who was about to steal something but deliberately wanted to hang out in front of the police.
"Haha, we are tourists and he is the boss. How can a shop not accept tourists?" The young man quickly packed his clothes and went out.
