Chapter 18 – More Testing

[I didn't know that Madam is good at acting] said Sery. He was surprised to see Katheryn suddenly looked sad and wanted to cry when she talked to Sarah about them not being a scammer.

Katheryn had asked all the information about Sarah from Sery. Sery had thought that she was curious but he never thought that she wanted to use Sarah's teacher's status to gain pity by mentioning Lucas and Hailey.

Katheryn smiled and said, "That is how I manage to seduce Lucas's father."

[…] Sery did not reply.

"Did something happen?" Lucas asked as he came to the healing room.

"Just some people doubting our business. This is normal, no need to worry. Once this one customer trusts us, the others will follow," said Katheryn while smiling. She did not seem to be worried about them not having any customers.

"So, all those people outside have some doubt too?" Lucas asked. He did see the crowd outside. He thought that they were curious but had no intention to use their service and thus, they just stood there to see the nursery.

[Yeah, most of them thought that we are scammers while some just stood there to see the show] said Sery without emotion. He did not mind them crowding the front of the nursery but he did feel irritated that they doubted the Pet Nursery System.

"… Well, I am sure they will change their minds once they have a taste of what our nursery can do," Lucas was positive.

"By the way, Lucas, do you know that the beautiful woman at the waiting area is Gyling South High School's teacher?" Katheryn asked.

"A teacher?" Lucas questioned back.

[I didn't tell him, Madam] said Sery.

"You are going to South High School, right?" Katheryn asked and Lucas nodded. "Try to get close to her. Getting close to a teacher in your school will be beneficial to you," said Katheryn.

"… Do I have to? If I get too close to a teacher, I will just incite jealousy from other students. Also, you said that she is beautiful, so there will be a lot of students who are attracted to her. Being close with her might not be a good idea," said Lucas.

Lucas was still weak and he was wary of being bullied too. He took to the heart of Sery's warn before. Even if he managed to reach Stage 2 before school started, getting close to a beautiful girl might cause more trouble for him.

"… You are not wrong. Boys in high school are a bit wild in regards to this thing. They are in puberty after all," said Katheryn and she glanced at Lucas, "You might end up like them too so, keep your wild nature by yourself," Katheryn was smiling but it did not look like a happy smile.

Lucas shuddered. He had no idea that his mother was this scary. Maybe because he was older now and he could finally understand many things that he finally learned more about Katheryn.

[Madam is warning you to not cause trouble in school] said Sery. Lucas was speechless with them but he took their 'advice' to heart. He also hated trouble and would do his best to stay far away from them.

After that, Katheryn got back to the front desk and the two hours of waiting continued.

Sarah sat on the chair in the waiting area and waited patiently for Saow. She hoped that what the nursery publicized was the truth. While waiting, she checked on her gold furball's status once more and she still could not believe that one hour under the nursery care resulted in the gold furball's talents increasing.

'How did this nursery do this? Is this the secret of this nursery? But even if they lied about other services, the care service is more than enough for this nursery to operate. If only I have other Newborn Stage pets, I will use the care service and increase their talent' thought Sarah.

'That's right, I should tell my findings to those people outside,' thought Sarah and she decided to tell them what she had experienced.

Outside the nursery. More and more people had gathered there and most of them got there because of the earlier crowd. They all got curious when many people gathered there.

"It has been an hour. The beautiful woman that got inside hasn't come out yet," a man among the crowd said.

"The signboard does say that each service will take a minimum of one hour," another man said.

"She will come out soon and tell us if this nursery is a scam or not," said a girl. Suddenly, someone pushed the nursery's door from inside. Sarah came out of the nursery and all gazes fell on her. None of them were talking and they waited for Sarah to talk first.

As an experienced teacher, she was used to many people looking at her. She did not get nervous and calmly observed them. She looked at all of them and smiled.

"I have tried the care service and it works," said Sarah, and everyone was shocked. Sarah added, "What they advertised about the care service is right. I sent my gold furball for the care service and after I got my furball back, I found out that her talent had increased and her mood is at peak happiness."

"As for the mental illness thing, I don't know if it is the truth. I don't have any pets with mental illness to try. Even so, I can guarantee that the care service is working as they advertise," said Sarah, and everyone clamored in shock.

It had only been an hour and the furball's talent had increased? Unbelievable!!

"I am currently trying the nursing service. It will take two hours to see the results. If the nursing service works too, I will try the training service next," said Sarah while smiling. Sarah got back inside the nursery and waited patiently in the waiting area.

"I should tell my honey too about this place," said Sarah and she messaged her boyfriend about the nursery but stopped. "His pets are too strong and this nursery only accepts Newborn Stage pets," Sarah decided not to tell her boyfriend about it. Even so, she did message him just for the sake of talking to him. They are a couple in love after all.

While Sarah was busy exchanging messages with her boyfriend, someone from the crowd decided to try the nursery's services too. He was a young man who looked to be around ten years old. Behind him was an old man who was presumed to be his butler based on the old man's attire.

Once the duo came in, they were shocked to see the spacious room. They looked around and were surprised by what they saw. It never came to their mind that the nursery was using the space room.

"Young Master Qin Yun, are you sure you want to try this nursery? Let's just wait for the beautiful tamer to finish testing the nursery herself," the old butler looked worried. The duo had been in the crowd for a while. They were enticed by what was advertised at the front of the nursery. Even so, just like everyone else, they were suspicious too.

"As part of the Phoenix Clan, we need to make sure that this nursery is not a scam. Waiting for her testing this alone will take too much time. With more of us, we will be able to find out about it faster," said Qin Yun.

"Since she had confirmed that the care service worked and is currently testing the nursing service, let us try the training service. Also, let's buy some of their pet foods too. They guarantee that the pet foods are fresh. Let see if they are telling the truth," Qin Yun added.

His butler wanted him to wait but he was merely a butler. If his master insisted on doing something, he could not stop him. Lowering his head, he followed behind his young master.

"Welcome~ How may I help you?" Katheryn greeted them with her brightest and sincerest smile. Why did she do that? Sery had informed her that the background of the young boy was not normal. Proceed with caution.

Also, Sery said that the young boy was a big customer with deep pockets…

"I want to buy pet foods," said Qin Yun. Katheryn nodded and handed him the tablet. Qin Yun took the tablet and there was a list of pet foods available in the nursery. The pricing was following the market price and most of them were common pet foods but most of them were listed with good quality.

"Can I see the pet foods first?" Qin Yun asked.

"Which pet foods you want to see. We will bring them here," Katheryn replied brightly. Qin Yun chose five random pet foods. Two of them were of medium quality while another three were of good quality.

"Please wait for a few minutes while I transfer the pet foods here," said Katheryn while smiling.

'Transfer???' Qin Yun was confused. The old butler too.

Katheryn took typing something on another tablet and then, she smiled at Qin Yun. "The pet foods will be here in a few seconds," said Katheryn while smiling. Sarah was watching what was happening too. She had been observing what had happened since Qin Yun came in.

A few seconds later, the floor beside Qin Yun turned red with a warning sign written on it. Shocked, Qin Yun and the old butler moved further from the red floor. After that, the floor was opened and a big glass-encased box came out of the opened floor.

Sarah, Qin Yun, and the old butler were shocked. '???' All of them were thinking the same thing. They never thought that the technology used by the pet nursery they thought was a scam used many high technology machines.

"You can open the glass box and check the pet foods," said Katheryn while smiling.

Qin Yun recovered from his shock and glanced at his old butler. He gave him a sign to check the pet foods. The old butler nodded and opened the glass box.

Even before they opened the glass box, they could see the appearance of the pet foods. Just from appearance alone, they looked the best compared to other pet food shops and nurseries.

The old butler checked them one by one and was shocked to see that not only were the quality was right but they were fresh too. 'What they write on the signboard is true?!' the old butler was shocked.

[He is shocked. Kekeke] said Sery while laughing. Katheryn still maintained her smile.

The old butler closed his eyes for a second to calm himself. 'There is no doubt that this is the best pet food I have ever seen sold in a shop,' thought the old butler. He opened his eyes and glanced at Qin Yun. He gave a slight nod.

"We use a time-proof container to retain the food's freshness," said Katheryn. Sery said that it was okay to tell them about the container.

When they heard that, Sarah, Qin Yun, and the old butler was petrified. Time-proof containers existed but they were super-super-super expensive. They were used mostly for more important things like treasures but never pet foods. Never for pet food of medium and good quality.

'What in the world is this nursery?' Sarah thought. 'Is this woman's father, the pet trainer someone powerful?' Sarah was shocked.

"Then, is the one in the tablet the only pet foods you sold?" Qin Yun asked. With that kind of quality, he did not want to miss the chance to get more fresh pet foods in the future.

"At the moment, yes. In the future, more and more will be available. The same with the stages limit when we give our care, nursing, and training services," explained Katheryn while smiling. "What we wrote at the signboard might sound like a scam but it is the truth."

"Then, I will take all these five pet foods. Put them in this storage ring," said Qin Yun and the old butler handed the space ring to Katheryn. Katheryn took the space ring and went to Room No 4 and put the pet foods into the storage ring.

"Can you make a storage ring too?" Katheryn asked Sery.

[Madam can buy them when the system level up. It looks like Master forgot to check on the mission and the system has yet to level up] said Sery. Katheryn nodded and went back to the counter and handed the space ring filled with pet food to Qin Yun.

The old butler checked on the space ring and nodded to Qin Yun. He made his payment for the pet foods and he stared at Katheryn.

"Is there anything else?" Katheryn asked while smiling.

"I want to try the training service too but I still cannot believe that this nursery is capable of doing what they advertise at the front. Can you show me any proof of training? Since you can train pets, you must have had a pet that you could show us," said Qin Yun.

Katheryn stared at Qin Yun while smiling and she said, "Sure. My son has just recently become a pet tamer. My father helps train his first pet and you can have a battle with him to see if we are telling the truth. I know that there is a possibility that the pet was trained a long time ago but I bet that you will believe it immediately when you battle him."

"Okay then. Let me battle him," Qin Yun agreed.
