Chapter 492 The Uncrowned King of the Pet Shop (Thanks to Luo Sisi for Being the Leader)
Chapter 492 The Uncrowned King in the Pet Shop (Thanks to Luo Sisi for being the leader~)
At the end of February, it was drizzling, and the spring of this planet came earlier than the Jade Skirt.
Tilan walked on the street holding an umbrella, feeling that the air was shrouded in a faint mist, which was a bit cool.
Today she received a task to go to a pet hospital to take care of animals. It sounds simple, but what if the animal to be taken care of is a large beast of Sequence 5? Therefore, this task is not something that everyone can take. It just so happens that she has the qualification certificate of a trainer and her strength is up to standard.
As for the matter of advancement, she has almost prepared recently and can enter Sequence 6 almost at any time. This is different from her advancement from Sequence 4 to Sequence 5. At that time, she would be a little rushed and there was invisible pressure. At Sequence 5, she had accumulated for a long time, and the magic power condensation had already been completed. It was mainly during this period that she improved and consolidated the previous deficiencies and broadened a lot of knowledge. Now, whether it is knowledge reserve, mentality, or magic power accumulation, it is not comparable to 4 years ago. Everything is like water.
Although she could have crossed the door at any time, she was not so anxious. It was like she had been traveling for a long time and wanted to stop and take a look at the scenery.
After entering Sequence 6, there would be a small range of surprises among the freshmen, and then there would be many new things to face. She wanted to wait for half a month, just as if it was a holiday for herself.
Life is not about rushing, there is no need to be so hurried, just like now, she was holding an umbrella, walking leisurely in the rain, watching the hover cars flying outside from time to time, and the water lines falling from the sky, with a sense of freshness that she did not see in the usual days.
She liked the rain, perhaps because she had stayed underground for a long time since she was a child, she would find this kind of natural weather more interesting? Tilan thought about the source of her love.
After walking for almost half an hour, Tilan still arrived at the agreed place five minutes ahead of schedule. This is a large animal hospital in the Academy City. Through the glass, you can see many strange and weird guys inside.
"Guests, here they come."
"Guests, here they come." In the closet, several colorful big parrots flapped their wings, walked back and forth, and opened their mouths to call.
"Okay, please come in. If you want to see a doctor for your pet, please follow the instructions at the front desk~" The door of the store opened, and the speaker on the ceiling broadcast this sentence. A girl not far away waved to her. At this moment, she was wearing a headset and holding a large lynx that kept trying to break free.
After finally putting the lynx into a special cage, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and then ran over in small steps.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" She was a little surprised to see that Tilan didn't bring a pet.
"I received a task and was told that I need help here temporarily." Tilan said.
"Oh, I remember, it's true. The store is short of staff now, and it's too late to recruit, so we can only jointly issue tasks to colleges and universities." The tasks of colleges and universities will be assigned to students with strength. The strength and character of these students are guaranteed by the school, and they are often more trustworthy than social personnel.
"Are you Sequence 5?" She blinked and slightly sensed the fluctuation of Tilan's current magic power.
"Yes, but I passed the training master qualification certification, so it's not too difficult to take care of some animals." Tilan nodded.
The girl in front of her was Sequence 6, and many of the animals in the surrounding cages were also around Sequence 5. Fortunately, most of them were very docile and obedient, and didn't cause much trouble, otherwise the girl in front of her would definitely not be able to take care of them.
"Sequence 5 is not impossible, but it's still a bit dangerous." The girl's voice was a little hesitant.
"But since you are a high-level trainer, you should be able to handle it." She thought about it and swallowed the words of refusal, because she was really too busy at the moment.
"My name is Lemon Fruit, and I am currently a high-level trainer of Nature Sequence 6. What about you?"
"My name is Purple Hibiscus (jǐn), withering sequence 5 and high-level trainer." The name Purple Hibiscus is Tilan's new alias. Danterian used it too much before.
In fact, the name 'Purple Hibiscus' was not something Tilan thought of casually, but another name for her sister Themisia, but she rarely used it, and only her mother used it before.
Themisia Zijin, it feels like a combination of the two. Later, my sister felt that the latter name was too delicate and traditional, so she didn't like it very much, so everyone gradually stopped calling her by this name.
"Miss Zijin, okay, come here, I will do an identity verification for you first, and then tell you about the current situation in the store." She walked forward with Tilan, talking as she walked.
"We currently have about ten employees in the store, but there are probably 4-5 people who stay in the store permanently. The others always have to leave the store for many things."
"The business in the store is generally to help extraordinary animals with treatment, physical examinations, psychological counseling, and solving various problems."
"Compared to ordinary animals, extraordinary animals are smarter and very close to human children. In most cases, they also know the truth and will not mess around, but it is not ruled out that some of them have violent personalities or unstable emotions. At this time, you need to pay attention to comfort."
"Giving them some food appropriately, talking to them, and checking where they are uncomfortable are all common solutions."
"If it still doesn't work, you can only contact their owners and temporarily lock them up in a tightly secured house to prevent them from destroying and escaping."
"It sounds like it's tricky." Tilan's purple eyes turned and scanned the various animals in the store. Some of them were big and some were small. The smallest might be a gray crow standing in a cage, and the largest was a golden velvet tiger lying down and sleeping in the distance.
"Mumu, come here~" the girl called out to the sleeping tiger in the distance.
I felt a gust of wind blowing over, and the sleeping tiger immediately rushed to the two of them. It exuded a faint deterrent power, and even the friendly low roar was like a power engine, which frightened others.
This big tiger, which was as tall as the two of them, probably weighed nearly a ton when walking. The flesh under the fur swayed slightly when walking, and a sense of power emerged spontaneously. When 'Lemon Fruit' on the side hugged the big tiger and stroked it, Tilan felt that the tiger's palm was a little bigger than 'Lemon Fruit's' head.
"Although I am a Sequence 6, my major is a breeder, so my personal combat power is not strong. The suppression of other animals in the store depends on Mumu. He is the partner of the store manager. By the way, I forgot to say that the store manager is my brother, but he is nearly ten years older than me." Lemon Fruit touched the big tiger for a while, then stood up and introduced Tilan to it.
"This is our new colleague. Don't bully or scare her." Lemon Fruit touched the tiger's head again. The tiger obeyed a little and then moved his head away.
"Well, Mumu is very proud and doesn't like me to touch it like this in front of outsiders. It is usually very docile." Lemon Fruit introduced.
"Touch her paw. If it lets you touch it, it probably agrees with you."
After listening, Tilan looked at the mighty tiger in front of her. The tiger was almost taller than her when sitting up.
"Are you sure you want to touch it? Will it hurt people?" She was not afraid, but she was also curious. Is this tiger really so docile? If it was an ordinary person, he would have been scared away long ago.
"No, no, it is the store's signboard. There are not many beasts in Academy City that are as easy to get along with as it is."
"Okay, I'll try." Tilan blinked her eyes and analyzed the situation of the big tiger in front of her.

Touching the tiger's paw, the fur on the surface is a little hard, and the tiger's paw is a little heavy. The other party hummed slightly, although it was still like an engine starting, but it was indeed much calmer than before.
"How is it, it's quite friendly." Lemon Fruit said with a smile.
"Next, I will take you to meet the other employees in the store, and then explain what we are going to do today, and we can start roughly."
In the next hour, Tilan quickly got to know the two pet doctors in the store, a medical assistant, and a store-watching breeder whose work content was similar to Lemon Fruit.
"His name is Wu Suo. Do you see the blue dragon anaconda in the glass cabinet at the back? That's his baby. Generally, more dangerous pets, such as scorpions and venomous snakes, are left to him to take care of and deal with. He is very good at these." The other party was an elegant man wearing a white shirt and glasses. If he was not in the store, everyone might think he was a senior white-collar worker in some company.
Holding coffee, the elegant man came over and greeted the two.
"Is this a new colleague? Hello, my name is Wu Suo." He asked if they wanted some coffee to refresh themselves.
"I don't need it. Zi Jin can drink it if she wants." Lemon Fruit waved her hand and winked at Ti Lan, probably not wanting her to drink the coffee here.
"I don't need it for the time being." Ti Lan also shook her head slightly.
"That's a pity. In fact, I think the new coffee that has been debugged recently is pretty good." He sat down slowly and sipped it carefully.
"Drinking venom as coffee, I'm talking about you." Lemon Fruit complained loudly.
"It's not such a simple venom, but some kind of coffee that has been debugged and is similar to secret medicine. It is very good for practicing sequence." The other party explained.
"Forget it, I'm still scared. Zi Jin will get to know him later." Then she hurriedly pulled Ti Lan to the next location.
"This is where dangerous supernatural animals are kept. You can see that they are separated by thick metal glass and there are protective nets inside."
"There is only one silverback gorilla here now. It has been relatively well behaved these past two days." Lemon Fruit pointed to one of the isolated spaces. There should be an exorcism device inside to prevent the creatures inside from absorbing too many Aigeka particles, which can greatly reduce their destructive power.
"Okay, that's all for today. After that, just follow me and go through the process. You will be able to get started quickly."
"No problem." This mission will take about 7-12 days, and the store will be able to finish it after recruiting suitable employees.
Taking this task does not mean how many credits it can earn. In fact, Tilan currently has the most credits among the four singers because she has participated in the most rating tasks.
But Tilan really wants to know how breeders work in the Central Star Territory, and what is the current status of the industry related to extraordinary animals.
It is not of much use now, but it is expected that the Jade Skirt will return to its beautiful environment and abundant products in the next few decades. The rebuilding of the 'Feng Yuan Courtyard' in the north is also inevitable. She wants to know about it in advance. The specific situation of the industry is in the Central Star Region, the most prosperous area of the Federation, and the place where it is easiest to get in touch with the core of the industry.
Of course, it's still a long way from saying this. At the moment, she just wants to experience it.
Time passed quickly. In the next two days, Tilan was busy with Lemon Guo in the store, assisting customers in taking care of the temporarily separated extraordinary animals, feeding them medicine, combing their hair, comforting them, etc.
Because of the intangible influence of the singer's talent, she can quickly get started in this area of work. Most of the animals are obedient and easy to understand her when they come to her. This also leads to the fact that she has only been here for three days. Tilan gradually began to replace the lemon fruit in the store, and gradually became the "King of Beasts" in the store. Well, it may be a bit rude to say this, but many animals like and admire her, and love to surround her. Turns out, the only designated uncrowned king in the store is the 'Pet Shop Lady', so you can probably understand.
"You go to the side and help the customer take out the package. You go to the back and find Dr. As and tell him that a big dog is sick. You need to check the situation first. You go get the watermelon from the refrigerator and let Mumu cut it and leave it. Take half of it, and give the remaining half to the crow flying on the ceiling, so that it can stop croaking, and you can eat the rest yourself."
Tilan, wearing a purple dress, was sitting at the front desk, surrounded by various small animals. Under her command, a poodle went to the next compartment to take out the packages stored by the guests, and two yellow parrots flew to the back for medical treatment. The doctor was informed by the doctor that a white monkey jumped to the refrigerator not far away and rummaged through the large watermelon Tilan bought in the morning.
Seeing such a scene, several guests waiting at the front desk were extremely surprised. Although they knew the breeder's ability to communicate with animals, it was rare to see him be as masterful as Tilan. She seemed to be new here. I don’t know where the store manager hired this powerful trainer.
Although the store looked busy, Tilan still sat firmly at the front desk and did not leave her seat all morning. But even so, the efficiency of business processing in the store was several times higher than when Lemon Guo visited the store.
Soon, one of the famous guests finished all kinds of things, and the front desk became empty again. At this moment, Tilan was still sitting inside, looking through the business notes collected in the store, as well as some of the store manager's previous books.
A sound of flapping wings came down from the ceiling, and then a gray crow landed on Tilan's shoulder. This scene, paired with Tilan's gothic-style dark dress, has a unique charm, like some kind of dark style in an oil painting. Missy.
"Have you finished eating? It's finally quiet." Tilan didn't look back, still flipping through the book in front of her. She raised her finger slightly and touched the gray crow on her shoulder.
It was approaching noon, and just when Tilan thought it would be quiet for a long time, the doorbell rang again, and then a woman carrying a pet box walked in.
Her hair was dyed blue and purple, and her lip color was more metallic. She looked like a motorcycle racer. Her jacket also had a lot of metal rings, which made them jingle and jingle when she walked.
With a bang, she placed the box at the front desk, then looked at the store environment and asked.
"Are you accepting pets? I have an invisible chameleon here."
"The store doesn't accept pets. Maybe you can go to the pet market and ask." Tilan answered skillfully, then raised her head.
Although the man in front of her looked a little arrogant and careless on the outside, he seemed nervous and a little scared inside. Tilan was a little surprised, and then she looked at the box beside her.
There is a Sequence 5 chameleon inside. The scales on its surface gradually change like the sunset. It looks a bit beautiful. In the eyes of some special enthusiasts, it is probably a rare treasure.
However, with Tilan's penetrating observation power as a wither sequence, coupled with the talent of the singer, she easily discovered that the lizard was not in good condition, and as a sequence 5, it was too weak, as if it was forcibly raising its level. As a result, the extraordinary core in the body is unstable and cannot use all its strength. Over time, there is a danger of core collapse.
"I know I have to go to the pet market, but now I'm in a hurry. You should be able to get in touch with a lot of customers with special hobbies. Can you help me ask if anyone wants to buy this lizard." The woman patted the box.
"No, this information is the customer's privacy, and the store does not do this kind of brokerage work." Tilan answered according to Lemon Guo's instructions.
After listening, the other party frowned and his tone was a little irritable.
"Listen, if this thing is done, you can also get a commission. Don't be stupid in school. Follow the rules and regulations. I'm in a hurry to use money now, otherwise I won't be able to change its owner."
Closing the book in her hand, Tilan became a little more serious.
"First of all, I don't know whether the origin of the lizard in your box is legal. Also, if something goes wrong with the lizard later and a customer comes to find me, the reputation of the store and my job will be damaged."
"Finally, you are so hasty to switch hands without going to the pet market that best suits the situation. It is hard not to make people suspicious."
"If you continue to mess around, I will notify the surrounding security personnel, and then it won't be so simple."
Hearing Tilan's clear analysis and warning, the other party's emotions quickly cooled down.
"Okay, I was a little anxious just now, but can you help me find a solution? A friend of mine is in trouble recently, and I need money."
"I don't know how true or false your words are, but it's really arrogant for you to ask a stranger for help." The girl shook her head.
"Then, can you tell me your name and what you do on weekdays?"
"My name, uh, my name is Soga. I like racing and modifying hover motorcycles on weekdays. If you want to buy a cheap and powerful hover motorcycle, I can get it for you."
"Okay, Ms. Soga, what trouble did your friend encounter?"
"This is a long story..." She was stuck, as if she was thinking about how to embellish the course of events, or make up a passable reason.
"If it's a lie, then please don't say it." Then Tilan lowered her head again and looked through the collection of books in front of her.
"This... this..." Soga found that the girl in front of him, who looked about 17 years old, was quite difficult to deal with, and was even harder to talk to than those gangsters.
"Maybe we were betrayed, and we want to regroup, and then... then..."
"Then make a big one and send ourselves to jail?" Tilan didn't look up and helped her continue. It sounded like an underground gang internal strife, and she didn't want to trouble herself.
"How can I say this? The purpose is definitely not to go to jail, but to change something, yes, change. Don't you think the current federation is not good?"
"What's bad?" Tilan continued to flip through the book.
"For example, everyone is not living a happy life, and those companies make money too easily."
"Is it everyone who is not happy, or you who are not happy? In addition, it seems that you hate big companies. How are you going to solve it? Blow them all up?"
"Blow it up, what a good idea, I didn't expect you to have this idea." The other party praised Tilan, as if he wanted to find common ground and get closer.
Seeing that Tilan in the store didn't speak back, the other party scratched his head again.
"Blowing it up may only solve the problem temporarily, but it is better than doing nothing. I am not saying that I want to cause trouble and make everyone feel uneasy, but for some problems, if you don't resist, the other party will not see it and will not respect you."
"Yes, respect, this is very important. We want equality and respect, and we can't be played by them."
Listening to this street-style answer, Tilan lost some of the desire to reason with the other party. If it was just as simple as blowing it up, then Aimulalin would have done it long ago, and she wouldn't have hesitated for so long.
Seeing Tilan yawning and suspected of wanting to take a nap, the other party was a little anxious. It was rare to meet a clerk who was willing to talk to her properly and there was still some possibility. How could he give up so easily?
"Do you understand me? Do you understand the anger in my heart!"
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Tilan's arm, but Tilan easily avoided it in the middle and fanned it away with the back of her hand. At the moment when the back of her hand touched the other party's body, a strange feeling was transmitted to Tilan like an electric current.
Among them was Soga's anger, the roar in his heart, and other vague, various, different voices. They should be in a very far place, but they were as close as if they were in front of them.
It was just a shocking contact of less than a second, but it allowed Tilan to glimpse into another completely different world.
"What is this?"
Her eyes opened slightly, and the light in her purple eyes flowed, changing from blue to purple. In an instant, she was extremely strange, and her temperament changed from an ordinary clerk to an extremely strange and distant one.
The scene in front of her startled Soga. In a panic, she was ready to leave with the box, but a transparent crystal wall suddenly appeared at the door of the store, blocking her way. Then, she only felt that everything in front of her was slowly blackening, and finally fainted.
The box fell to the ground, rolling and clanging, and the lizard inside made bursts of hissing, and then a pair of figures wearing black leather shoes came in front of her, slowly bent down, held the box, and comforted the panicked chameleon inside.
"Be good, it's okay."
"Although I don't think what you said is a good thing, this special method is indeed very surprising. Now, I suddenly want to take care of it." The girl's voice spread around her, but the other party might not hear it at this time.
Thank you, Luo Sisi, the leader~Thanks(ω)
Thank you very much for your support~
