Chapter 496: Tilan at the Pet Hospital
Sitting on the cabinet nearby, Tilan's legs swung gently, and she felt very relaxed. After a few words, Geen and Soga on the opposite side shut up. He didn't like this kind of meaningless quarrel, but Soga's behavior might cause the situation to get out of control, which forced him to correct the other party's thoughts.
"Okay, it's useless to say more. Let's take a rest today. Tomorrow, the eldest lady and I will give you some advice." Geen stopped Soga who wanted to continue. Seeing this, Shan on the side also sighed and nodded to show his agreement.
The exchange between the three people ended here for the time being, and the focus of the topic came to Tilan.
"This is Miss Zijin." Geen had heard of Tilan from the message Soga sent in the afternoon.
"Hello." Although he opposed Soga's rash actions, he still showed due respect for Tilan.
"Hello, Mr. Geen." Tilan came down from the cabinet and greeted politely.
Such behavior, combined with her young appearance, gave people a very cute feeling. Even Gern, who had been a black mercenary, could not help but soften his tone.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Please sit down first. I'll tell you about the current situation. I'm sure you'll be a little disappointed."
He asked Tilan to sit down, and Shan beside him took out two drinks from the refrigerator for the two of them. They looked like some kind of tea cola.
Soga went to take a shower at this time. Shan leaned against the wall beside him and listened to Gern telling Tilan about the current situation.
"... In general, because of the special power of the 'connector', Miss Alana established the current loose organization, and the number of people has gradually expanded."
"But unfortunately, a special situation happened some time ago. Our organization was targeted by another more mysterious organization. They used powerful intelligence and infiltration methods to coerce and induce many of our members. At that time, we fought a lot before leaving the scene. Later, we hid here and tried to regroup."
"What organization is the other party?" Tilan was curious.
"I don't know. Not only do we not know, but even many of the people who were turned against us don't know. According to what we have learned in the past few days, they were suddenly controlled by the other party in various scenarios, and then signed the surrender agreement for various threats and inducements."
"Is that so..." Tilan tilted her head to think.
"Is it a surrender agreement?" This was the first time she had seen such a betrayal, and she didn't quite understand the use of the surrender agreement. Could it be that illegal organizations still use it to sue?
Hearing Tilan's question, Gehn opened the beverage bottle and drank it first, then leaned back on the sofa.
"Although this is rare, it is not new."
"Yes, illegal organizations certainly can't use this to sue, but this can prove that you are a member of an illegal organization. If the organization is arrested, this contract will be a powerful weapon to determine your identity during the court trial. It will be difficult for you to argue that you were completely unaware."
"The result is that even illegal organizations rely on federal laws to deter and maintain?" Tilan was surprised.
"Hehe, this should be just one of their methods, but it can be said that it is very useful for ordinary people. After all, many people cannot imagine how to survive if they are wanted by the Federation. They have lived in the city for too long and have no idea about the world outside." He shook his head.
"Mr. Gern, can you tell me about it?" Tilan was more interested now. At least this knowledge would not be taught in school.
"I have done it before. Just think of it as having experienced some gray area business, so I have heard some situations." Gern thought about it and told Tilan what he could tell.
Although he felt that this girl was unlikely to be an official undercover, he did not want to rashly expose his handle or something like that.
"First of all, the country now is not like thousands of years ago, when everyone was trapped on a planet and could see everything with satellites."
"The Milky Way is huge. Although the Federation controls most of the habitable planets and has set up many monitoring points, there are still many places that cannot be observed and are difficult to take care of."
"For example, some ruined planets, desolate galaxies that deviate from the main routes, sparsely populated areas on habitable planets, and so on."
"Just like the area of a certain habitable planet, hundreds of thousands of kilometers in radius, you are the only one, and there is not even an electric instrument or equipment. Who cares what you do here?"
"These places that are far away from the civilized world are unimaginable to modern urban people. Maybe the people there have never been under the jurisdiction of the Federation in their lives, and they don't know that the Fifth Era outside has already ended."
"Without laws and constraints, such places can easily become hiding places for many wanted criminals."
"That's all I can say. I don't know any more details, after all, I haven't really been there." He smiled, and Tilan felt that the other party had hidden part of the truth, but there was not much malice.
"Thank you for telling me this."
"Huh, I can't stand a polite girl like you, like someone who came out of an ivory tower." Gern waved his hand and threw the empty beverage can accurately into the trash can opposite.
"I'm going to rest first. It's getting late now. If you feel bored, you can go back and have a nap. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything." He picked up his clothes and left.
After Gern left, only Tilan and Shan were left in the garage. He reacted now and felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that he was not the kind of person who was good at socializing.
"Uh, it's getting late. Do you want to go back?" He tried to ask.
Tilan didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the boy for a while.
"When Soga comes out of the shower, I'll talk to her and leave." She paused.
"You should be a student in school, right? Don't you have classes?" She recognized who this person was because of the cat-eared sisters. When Elklu showed her the information later, she glanced at him, but she only thought about it now.
"I asked for a few days off." He rubbed his head.
"Well, it's been a while, and the teacher is urging me, so..."
"So let's go back to school and deal with the situation first." Tilan suggested.
The girl said a few words to dispel the rebuttal. Her presence immediately made Shan's anxiety surge up.
"Uh... I know, I'll talk to Alana tomorrow, and I'll probably go back to school too."
After finishing this brief chat, Shan began to think about some things, such as how to tell Alana, how to explain to the teacher tomorrow, how to continue to come out after that, and not delay learning, etc.
This boy, Tilan felt a little strange at this moment.
Compared with ordinary people, his thoughts are too easy to be captured, or the emotional changes in his mind are too obvious. With the talent of a singer, it is too easy to influence such a person. If she is a little mean, she can even hypnotize the other party on the spot.
Slightly closing her eyes, she observed the other party again with her perception.
Although it is easy to be influenced by outsiders, this characteristic of the other party can also perceive many mental emotions that ordinary people cannot perceive. If used properly, it can be very useful in certain professions.
If the connectors are all people with this talent, it is indeed very likely that they will build an extraordinary connection.
After the observation, Tilan opened her eyes. At this time, Soga had also finished taking a shower. She came out wearing a dark red vest with a wrung towel on her shoulder.
"Did Gun go to bed?" She looked at the situation in the garage.
"Yes, he left first." Shan replied.
"Let's talk about him tomorrow." Then she looked at Tilan and Shan.
"Are you going to sleep here, Zijin? I feel that you may not be used to living here."
"I'll go back later." Tilan shook her head.
"Where's Shan?"
"I'll sleep here tonight, but I'll go back to school tomorrow."
"It's okay, you take care of the school stuff first, I'll take care of it here." Soga waved his hand.
"It's rare to get into college, it's a place that changes your life, I have no choice." After saying that, she also took out a drink from the refrigerator and sat down next to Tilan.
"It's so cool tonight~ Zijin, you are the most powerful trainer I have ever seen." She praised again, as if she was still savoring the big victory.
"With you, our organization has hope for revival. If nothing else, at least when Zijin stands there, it gives people a feeling of, well, how to say it, very powerful, that kind of elegant but powerful, mysterious and moving image." She used poor words to describe the vague feeling in her heart.
"Just like the senior cadres of those organizations in movies and TV dramas, yes, that's it, very much like that, haha, I really didn't make a mistake about him." This person was very optimistic, and didn't have as many troubles and headaches as Shan and Geen.
After that, the three of them chatted briefly. It was almost 11:30, and Tilan stood up and said she was going back.
"Have a nice trip tonight. If you are afraid of walking at night, I can also give you a ride." Suojia waved his hand.
Although she looked young and a little weak, Suojia witnessed Tilan's killing through the entire game. She felt that as a top student in a university, Tilan must be better than herself, so she was not worried about her safety.
Shan didn't know this, and asked worriedly before leaving, but he didn't insist too much, after all, he was not that kind of strong person.
Leaving this abandoned warehouse, Tilan came to a street not far away. It was a little deserted here, and only some street lights were still on.
Walking in the night, Tilan recalled the few people he met tonight and made a simple analysis.
There is no need to say more about Soga. Her way of thinking is almost instinctive. Just understand who she is and don't pay too much attention to the logic. Geen is much more cautious, but he himself is not a problem. His seniority in the organization is far less than Soga, and he can't control him. Shan is very simple. Although his strength is okay, his behavior seems to be more immature than himself.
Such people make it difficult for Tilan to imagine that Alana will be the kind of mature person in power or a shrewd person. Such an organization can exist for a long time. It can only be said that it is too "harmless" and does not attract the attention of the outside world.
It's good that if it is really that kind of evil organization, she dare not join it randomly. If it is exposed at that time, it will not be good for the reputation of the singer.
Since she is here, this organization will sooner or later be targeted by the Tribunal. However, as long as she is here, the Tribunal will not take action at this time according to a certain convention to avoid "disturbing" the original life trajectory of the singer.
After all, their main responsibility is to "protect" rather than "monitor".
After finishing a day's schedule, Tilan returned to school and took a good bath to rest. He went out at 9 am the next day.
"Ding ding dang dang--"
Pushing the door and entering the pet hospital, Tilan heard a familiar voice, which usually means that a guest has arrived.
"It turned out to be Zijin." Hearing the voice, Lemon Fruit trotted out from the room next to her, holding a calico cat in her arms.
"I'm giving it an injection. According to its owner, the child has a fever recently."
"Do you need help?" Tilan looked at the kitten.
"No need for that. I can do it by myself. It's another matter to trouble Zijin. You can come to the front desk now. I'll help in the back. I also have to count and check the inventory. The drug dealer representative will come in the afternoon. It depends on the situation to replenish the missing medicines and consumables."
"Okay." Tilan has gotten used to this arrangement in the past two days.
Unlike her, Lemon Fruit is not used to sitting at the front desk. In her words, she is a flexible little animal in the mountains and doesn't like to be tied to a certain place.
As for Tilan, she prefers to sit there and read quietly in her spare time without walking around. It can only be said that the two have different personalities.
Time slowly came to 10 o'clock in the morning. At this time, more and more customers came, and many of them were acquaintances. They walked into the store with their pets.
"Do you have any conditioning plan to recommend, Miss Zijin?" A man wearing sunglasses leaned against the front desk. A large python with patterns was entwined beside him, spitting out long blood-red letters from time to time. It looked quite intimidating, so other customers dared not approach.
"My 'Flower Net' is now at Sequence 5, and has been accumulating magic power for several years. It should have met the requirements for advancement, but it has no intention to do so, which makes me a little anxious."
He usually doesn't tell people this, but he came to the store these two days and unexpectedly found that the girl was a top student. Maybe asking her would be helpful.
Putting the book down, Tilan looked at the giant python not far in front of her.
"Wait a moment." After saying that, she stood up and stretched her hand towards the giant python. The other party also stretched its head over and let Tilan touch its forehead.
A faint glimmer overflowed from Tilan's fingertips. With the help of contact, she carefully examined the condition of the giant python, then retracted her hand and tilted her head to think.
"Well, it is indeed well cultivated and has no problem with its physical condition, but if it comes to advancement, the magic condensation may not be enough."
"Because its body size is much larger than that of snakes of the same level, and its foundation is better, so the goal of advancing upwards will be higher, so more condensed magic power is needed." Tilan explained.
"If it relies on itself to accumulate slowly, it may take another five years."
"So long? I have raised it since it was young, and it advanced to Sequence 5 six or seven years ago. I didn't expect that it would take another five years to advance to Sequence 6."
"Because its original species is not a supernatural creature, but an ordinary animal that advanced after condensing a supernatural core. This causes it to accumulate magic power at a speed that is not as fast as those innate supernatural creatures." Many improved supernatural creatures have a set of advancement paths engraved in their genetic instincts, which ordinary animals cannot compare to.
"To reach this point now, it has actually been cultivated very well." It seems that this owner usually feeds it a lot of good things, otherwise how could it reach Sequence 5 so easily.
"So, you still need to find spiritual medicine to assist?" The man in sunglasses touched his chin. This kind of spiritual medicine is not cheap.
"If you are in a hurry, you can use spiritual medicine to assist. In fact, snakes have a long lifespan. If you are not in a hurry, it won't make much difference if you delay for another 5 years." Tilan can see that the other party is not using this big python as a tool, and his desire for strength should not be that high.
"Thank you, it seems that it is not that it does not work hard, but that it is too talented, haha." After saying that, he took the python back to the rest area.
After that, many guests came forward. Seeing that Tilan could accurately identify the problem, they also asked her to help diagnose their pets.
"Let me make it clear first. I am not a doctor, but a trainer. I can only talk about the training problems. If it is sick, it is better to see the doctor in the backstage." Tilan explained first.
"Ahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, we know." Everyone laughed, knowing that this girl was afraid of those who were unreasonable. Although there were few such people, they were indeed unpleasant.
In the following time, Tilan helped everyone analyze and propose solutions one by one. Many guests who originally came to see a doctor with their pets followed suit and asked Tilan to help analyze.
After such a chain of situations, Tilan wanted to stop, but it was too late. She had to come one by one and solve it as soon as possible, otherwise the guests behind would be anxious.
Thus, from morning to afternoon, from work to off-get off work, she basically did not stop for the whole day, and she no longer had time to sit at the front desk and read books.
6pm.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zijin." There were fewer customers at this time, and Lemon Fruit came to Tilan with a double refreshing drink, and asked the customers behind to go to the other side to deal with the situation, where there were colleagues working the night shift.
"I didn't expect you to see them one by one, just like an old doctor sitting in the clinic." She bit the straw and said with a little surprise.
"I didn't expect it to be out of control at the time." Tilan took a sip of the drink, and then rested her head on the side, so that she could relax and feel more comfortable.
"But, it's really amazing. I've learned a lot of things you said before, but I forgot a lot of them later and never really put them into practice."
"Not only can Zi Jin learn so well, but she can also respond on the spot and handle things in an orderly manner. This is much better than me."
"At first I didn't understand it very well, but as I helped analyze it, it became clearer and clearer. Many things I learned before were gradually reflected in reality. I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment." Tilan explained.
"Hahaha, Zi Jin is really amazing." Lemon Fruit covered her mouth and chuckled.
"If it goes on like this for a few more days, Zi Jin's reputation will be spread immediately."
"No." Tilan said no.
"It's very tiring."
"How about changing it to half a day, for example, providing such services during a certain time period." Lemon Fruit thought about it.
"Then you will charge extra fees, right?" Tilan saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"How can you say that, my good Zijin, we are sisters, we can make money together~ Don't you think so?" Lemon Fruit blinked fiercely.
Although the store belongs to her brother, it is not her own after all, so her income is also limited. If she makes some extra money, it will be much higher than the salary given by her brother.
"I think about it, I can agree, but I may have to shorten my working hours." Tilan thought that she had something to do in the next few days and could not stay in the store for a long time.
"No problem, I will be half the store manager, and I have the final say when my brother is not here~" Lemon Fruit patted his chest to indicate that it was okay.
"After that, Tilan will just work half a day every day."
"I can think of a reason for you, just say that you are helping customers walk their pets and take them out for a walk. Humph, this kind of easy work is usually done by me."
It turns out that Lemon Fruit often uses this method to be lazy, Tilan realized.
"That's settled then." In the next few days, she might have to get to know Alana and the newly formed organization.
I had a writer's block last night 0 0 I'm sorry~
I will try to update during the day in the future
