Chapter 2978 Leisure Time (Twenty-Two)

Chapter 2952 Leisure Time (Twenty-two)

Dick and Raven have been shopping in New York these days.

Firstly, after entering the Dou Realm, Raven's situation has become stable, or after discovering that the isotopes in other universes are big bombs, she has become more open-minded.

Secondly, although Gotham is also a prosperous metropolis and the security situation has improved, it is limited by the development of the times and is not very suitable for entertainment for young people like Dick and Raven. It is not as fun as New York.

New York can now be called a paradise for young people. It is extremely developed, with convenient transportation and a variety of entertainment industries. Any niche culture can find a home here, and any business circle can be eye-opening.

Not to mention Raven who has been staying in a special space, Dick hasn't had such a relaxing time for a long time. The two of them plunged into the center of New York and were simply reluctant to leave.

Of course, Raven did have her doubts. While shopping, she asked Dick, "Aren't you a superhero? Don't you have any mission?"

"I'm not a superhero." Dick said, "If I have to say, I'm the assistant of a superhero, and this superhero is no longer a hero, so I'll naturally retire."

"Well, then don't you want to do something?"

"Isn't the goal of traveling just to travel?" Dick said, "If there are specific mission goals, it's not called traveling but a business trip."

Raven felt that what he said made sense, so she put aside her doubts and had fun with all her heart.

Traditional activities such as watching movies, shopping, and eating could no longer satisfy them. They went camping in Long Island, attended music festivals, wore their own uniforms to visit comic conventions, bungee jumping, diving, night fishing...

While Tim was working hard in Los Angeles, the two of them had a great time for several days.

During this process, Raven discovered a characteristic of Dick, that is, he was very happy.

Originally, this cannot be a characteristic of a person. It can only be said to be a temporary state. If you have to say it, it should be optimism or something. But Dick is not like this. He is a very happy person.

If Raven wants to describe it in more detail, she can say that Dick is a person who is full of curiosity about new things and his interest will not easily diminish during the exploration process.

Raven feels that her curiosity is already very strong. When she first decides to play some new projects, she is always very excited, but after a while, she is a little worried about gains and losses. After a while, when it is close to participating, she feels a little tired and thinks that she might as well not go.

But Dick is not like this. His positive emotions are always straightforward and simple, consistent and unchanging. He always maintains a strong interest in looking forward to doing something, and he will not get bored no matter how tedious the preparation process is.

Raven once heard a metaphor from Professor Schiller. If a person is compared to a car, the size of each person's fuel tank is different.

Some people's gas tanks can hold a lot of gas, so they can run for a long time without refueling, but some people's gas tanks are relatively small, and they need to stop to refuel after driving for a short time.

But there is another situation, that is, the structure of the car is more sophisticated, it can use less gas and last longer, and Raven thinks Dick is such a person.

In fact, whether it is watching a concert or going on a yacht to fish, it can only be regarded as entertainment, not that they really like music or fishing, so the happiness that this kind of entertainment can bring them is limited.

But Dick can always use limited happiness to maintain his energy and excitement for a long time, as if this little happy time can support him for the rest of his life.

Raven doesn't understand the principle, but she feels a little envious. She wants to know how Dick does it, so during the play, she always pays attention to Dick in both open and covert ways.

After Dick hung up the phone, the two prepared to go to the pet store. Raven tilted her head and watched him search for the location of the cattery on his mobile phone, and finally located a slightly remote cattery.

The pet system in the United States is relatively sound. The so-called pet shops are actually places that specialize in breeding domestic pets. There are several levels. Some sell competition-level pets, and there are also ordinary pets for civilians.

In New York, you can basically find any kind of pet you want. In addition to cats and dogs, some unpopular reptiles are also bred by special enthusiasts.

Although the Siberian Forest Cat is not as famous as other large cats, and it is not a native cat breed in the United States, there are indeed several catteries in New York that breed this breed, and there are even kittens of the right age for sale.

The two drove a rented car to the Giant Pet House. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that the cattery owner likes large cats very much.

This is a family cattery, located in a house on the edge of Queens. As soon as Dick and Raven got out of the car, the cattery owner opened the door of the yard for them. As soon as they stepped in, they were entangled by a gentle giant.

Raven bent down and picked up the huge cat effortlessly. The cattery owner looked at her in shock, and Dick quickly poked her with his elbow.

Raven then realized that it would be difficult for her to hold such a big cat, so she quickly put the cat down.

"What a cute little... uh, big guy."

The cattery owner was a fat middle-aged woman. She laughed heartily and said, "Pari is our second biggest treasure here, a Maine Coon cat. The Siberian Forest Cat you are looking for is over here."

The raven was very fond of the big baby that was wrapped around her legs and meowing. She couldn't help it, picked it up and weighed it in her arms like a baby. The big furry tail was Almost dragged to the ground.

Dick also touched it. Maine was worthy of being called a gentle giant. He would not refuse any touch. His sharp voice was completely inconsistent with his huge body.

When they arrived in the backyard, they saw the real Siberian forest cat, and then they discovered that although the two cats were similar in size, there were very significant differences in their facial shapes.

The face of the Maine Coon cat is more pointed. To be precise, the snout is protruding, the nose is longer, the mane expands outward, and the eyes are longer and pointed. They look a bit like a lion and are very handsome.

The face of the Siberian forest cat is rounder and wider, and it looks sweeter in appearance, revealing a naive temperament. The eyes are also round and not so aggressive.

Raven saw that one fell in love with the other, so she put down the other one and hugged Sisen who had just reached her feet. She reached out and touched it, and found that the texture of the hair of the two was also different. Sisen's hair was softer, but thicker and thicker. It's incredible, especially the big flower-like tail. You can't even touch the cartilage inside without any effort.

Dick picked up the Maine Coon cat that was put down by the raven, and compared the two in his arms, he still liked the handsome lion in his arms better.

Then the cattery owner introduced them to another forest cat, the Norwegian Forest Cat, which looks more like the Siberian Forest Cat. There is no significant difference in appearance between the two. The Norwegian Forest Cat’s face is closer to an inverted triangle, and its hair is slightly smaller. A little longer.

This cattery is full of large cats, lying lazily on the threshold or on the cat climbing frame. They don’t seem to be noisy at all. According to the owner of the cattery, the mood of large cats will be more stable, and these three breeds are He is famous for being gentle and clingy.

Then the owner of the cattery introduced them to the special features of the Siberian forest cat. This cat is the closest to a dog among the three large cats. It is not only loyal and lively, but also has better obedience. After training, it is basically You can have all the skills of most dogs, such as obeying handshakes, turning in circles, retrieving, etc.

Finally, the owner of the cattery took them to see the kitten for sale. The mother of this cat was a competition-level cat and had won many awards. The father also had good blood lines. The kitten was only three months old and looked tiger-like in appearance.

The raven picked one of them at a glance. Dick didn't know how to describe the color. It was probably brown-gray. Because the body was too small and the hair was too long, it was just like a ball of hair.

Seeing the raven hugging him, Dick refused to let go. Dick began to negotiate the price with the cattery owner. After the negotiation was almost completed, the formalities were completed.

You need to go through some procedures to raise a pet in New York State. If you are adopting or rescuing, the procedure conditions will be relatively relaxed, but if you are purchasing, you have to go through many strict procedures.

One of the more important parts is the house certificate, which requires the buyer to prove that he has an independent residence and has enough space for pets.

Dick came from another universe and naturally had no real estate, so he had to call Schiller.

Having lived here for so long, Schiller is quite familiar with such details. He had also carefully inquired whether Pikachu should apply for a dog license or a cat license.

After a while, all the procedures were prepared, and Raven happily hugged the kitten and got into the car, but soon she became worried again and said: "You said Tim wanted to raise a kitten. Then should we return the cat to him?"

"What are you talking about? What we raise is ours. If he wants to raise it, he can adopt it himself." Dick said.

"But didn't he say he wanted to raise a Siberian forest cat?"

Dick then remembered and carefully recalled the specific content of the call between Tim and him.

But in fact, he had basically forgotten it by now, so he could only say vaguely: "Oh, that's right. Professor Schiller said that keeping a pet can help stabilize your mood. I want to give you such advice, but... I didn’t know which breed of cat was better, so I asked Tim..."

Raven became happy again. She gently touched the kitten's head and said, "No one has ever cared about me so much. Thank you."

After realizing that the confusion was over, Dick also laughed and said, "Have you thought about it? What are you going to name the kitten?"

Raven thought about it seriously and said, "My name is Rachel, so let's call her Qiuqiu."

"You have the final say." Dick said with a smile, and then he suddenly remembered that Tim seemed to ask him to go to Arkham Sanatorium. What was he going to do?

Dick didn't remember much, but he still said: "Let's buy some pet supplies first, and then go back to Arkham Sanatorium. It is too small and needs to spend a lot of time sleeping. We can't go back too late."

Raven nodded happily.

Just as the car drove into the parking lot of Arkham Sanitarium, Dick received a message from Tim.

"Did you find out?"

Dick had no idea what Tim wanted him to check, but he bought a Siberian forest cat, so he replied "Hmm."

"Send it to me." Tim typed out the text message.

Ten seconds later, he received a picture of a very cute Siberian forest cat cub.
