Madeline sold her soul to the Devil years ago. Today he gives it back and says, "I need a favour."

After watching the corals, Galaxy heard the kittens downstairs had already woken up. It ran downstairs merrily to play hide-and-seek with them.
Zhang Zian also went downstairs and opened up the shutter door to ventilate the shop. He tested the water quality at the same time.　　
A brand new Wuling Hong Guang MPV was parked in front of the shop.　　
Now that he owned a car, not a bicycle, he might be able to ask a girl if she would rather laugh in his Wuling Hong Guang, or cry in someone else's BMW.　　
As the water testing result was fine, he started cleaning up the shop as usual.　　
Soon, Lu Yiyun, Wang Qian, and Li Kun arrived for work.　　
"Master, it's a shame that you didn't come with us to get the bottom sand. Otherwise, you would have seen my handsome driving!" Wang Qian bragged excitedly. "This Wuling Hong Guang deserves its fame! With over 100 kilos of bottom sand and eco-bio-blocks, I passed two accelerating Honda Civics, one BMW M4, one Tesla, and almost passed a Lamborghini! As I was about to drift in the alley, I arrived at the pet shop…"  　　
Zhang Zian was intoxicated. Was it a Wuling Hong Guang he was driving, or an AE86? It could drift in an alley? 　　
Li Kun clarified, "Master, don't listen to his nonsense. In fact, I was the one driving. He almost peed in his pants…"　　
"Just save it, both of you! Don't drive the car into the ditch. If you get a ticket, you will pay it. Stop the bullshit and get to work!" Zhang Zian vented. When he bought the car, the two of them despised the Wuling Hong Guang so much, saying it was a low-class car. But after they got the car, they enjoyed driving it so much.　　
"Aye." They agreed and started working with brooms and mops. They still could not shut up, arguing one after the other over who was a better driver.　　
"I'll use the car soon. If you are finished, just take a break. Our custom-made aquarium tanks are being delivered today. If I'm not here then, just sign off the courier for me," Zhang Zian instructed.　　
"Master, are you going to try drifting in the alley?" they asked.　　
"Drift in your a**! I'm going to the beach to take a walk." He laughed and cursed.　　
He was planning to play the underwater loudspeaker in the sea. It might be too late if he waited any longer.　　
"Good morning, Brother Store Manager!"　　
With a loud and clear greeting, Little Celery hopped into the shop. Then she stepped outside in doubt, looked up at the store sign next door, and mumbled, "Amazing Fate Aquarium… Brother Store Manager, are you going to sell fish?"　　
"Good morning, Little Celery. That's right! I'm going to sell fish, but not food!" Zhang Zian put up his hand. "Come here, high five! Yay!"　　
"Yay!"　　
Little Celery jumped and clapped her little palm against his, despite that she didn't know why he wanted a high-five.　　
It was his first time seeing Little Celery ever since his return from Germany. Before that, he had been busy day and night, while Little Celery had been going to school late to take care of the hamsters during the winter holidays. They always missed each other.　　
"Little Celery, did your school start?"　　
Judging from the way she was running, he saw that her backpack seemed much heavier now than it was in the winter holidays. Maybe it was full of textbooks and exercise books.　　
"Yes! It's the first day of school today!" She nodded with strength.　　
She was wearing a red flannel hoodie with a sweater inside, a backpack, a scarf, but no hat. The scarf dangled behind her as she ran. 　　
"Oh, I've never seen those shoes before. Are they new? Very nice," he asked.　　
"Aha! New shoes for the new year! It's my first time wearing them! I kept them specifically for the school day! They are bigger than the old ones. The old shoes are getting squishy!" She hopped with joy.　　
He felt that she had grown a bit taller after the winter holidays. Kids grew fast, after all. They grew up in the blink of an eye.　　
"Haha, Little Celery can certainly control herself! I'd surely put on my new shoes the same day I got them when I was younger." Zhang Zian laughed. "Oh right, Little Celery, how are the hamsters? Are they okay?"　　
"Very good! Our class report is handed in. We got the full mark! Except that… Yaning wrote all of it. We didn't really help her…" She said with embarrassment.　　
"That's fine. Everybody's good at something, and not so good at something." Zhang Zian encouraged her. "Wang Yaning is good at writing reports. Little Celery is good at making the team work together. You compliment each other's role. Isn't that great?"　　
Little Celery nodded. "The school is very happy with our report and agreed that we can keep hamsters."　　
"Oh? Does it mean that you need more hamsters? Should I look for more for you?" Zhang Zian asked.　　
"There's no need. Thank you, Brother Store Manager. We are going to breed our own hamsters. We'll use these hamsters to breed the new generation. This is also the focus of the hamster raising class this semester," she said seriously.　　
"Is that so. You need to work hard, then. But I'm sure Little Celery can do it." Zhang Zian thought that this was indeed a good idea, as hamsters were very fertile. In fact, all rodents were very fertile.　　
"Yes!" She made a little fist and looked very motivated. Yet, her eyes were soon filled with questions. "Brother Store Manager, how do hamsters reproduce? We'll put the males with the females, and that's it?"　　
Zhang Zian didn't know what to say.　　
He suddenly understood something. The purpose of hamster raising class in Zhonghua Road Primary School was not that simple. They intended to use this class as part of the sex education program. When he was young, the schools were not thinking that far in advance.　　
Education's purpose went beyond answering questions and teaching knowledge. Children nowadays were maturing earlier and faster. They indeed needed the missing link in education. The decision maker in Zhonghua Road Primary School deserved a thumbs up.　　
As he thought, he encouraged her. "Little Celery, don't worry. Just follow your school's instructions. They would certainly not let you go ahead blindly."　　
Little Celery nodded, still a bit confused.　　
"Your school teachers may only give you some general guidance. If you have any questions regarding details of hamster breeding, just come ask me. But you'd better try searching for the answer first." He smiled.　　
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Store Manager!"　　
Little Celery still had questions, but she no longer had doubt in her eyes.　　
"You are welcome. After you grow up, if you can help take care of my business, it would be great." Zhang Zian joked with her.　　
"I get it! I'll go talk to Bell and Ear!" She ran into the shop to see the hamsters and lop-eared rabbits. 　　
Zhang Zian looked at the time, instructed Wang Qian and Li Kun to examine the courier carefully, then took the underwater loudspeaker and left the shop. He drove the Wuling Hong Guang towards the beach.

Pusheen is a female cartoon cat who is the subject of codmic strips and sticker sets on Facebook. Pusheen was created in 2010 by Claire Belton and Andrew Duff for a comic strip on their website, Everyday Cute.

On the official Pusheen website Pusheen is described as being a female domestic shorthair which is grey and tabby. The original comic strip series included characters modeled after Belton, Duff, their dog named Care, and Pusheen, a chubby grey tabby cat based on Belton's cat that now lives with her parents in Oregon. Pusheen's name stems from the word puisín, which means kitten in Irish. Pusheen is sometimes seen with her sister, Stormy. Occasionally Pusheen and Stormy are drawn in different themes, such as Pusheenasarus Rex, where Pusheen is a dinosaur and Stormy is in a dinosaur egg.

Pusheen has become well known for appearing in Sticker sets on Facebook, which are images that can be attached to personal messages or comments. The feature, including a set of Pusheen stickers, was introduced to iOS in April 2013, and added to the main website in July of the same year. In an article for PC Magazine on emoji and unicode, Sascha Segan referred to Pusheen as Facebook's "proprietary emoji", being used as a form of Vendor lock-in.

In April 2017, the Pusheen Corporation acquired office space in the Park Ridge suburb of Chicago. The offices are used as a workspace for artists and photographers.

Pusheen is an example of the popularity of Cat's on the internet. An exhibition at the New York City Museum of the moving image examined the phenomenon, highlighting Pusheen alongside other celebrity cats such as Grumpy cat and Oil Bub. The Facebook page for Pusheen has over 9.4 million fans as of July 2017. The brand has expanded with merchandise including an app. Pusheen has expanded and moved beyond just Facebook and now takes part in multiple social media platforms such as: Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter. This cartoon cat also has many fan pages within the platforms and blogs dedicated to celebrating the comic. Its popularity has even allowed the Pusheen Corp to create an app that is an expansion of their sticker collection that started on Facebook. Within each social media account that is officially owned by the creators of Pusheen the cat has gained over a million followers and counting. Due to this rise in popularity the company has started releasing GIFs on their website several times a month.

The Pusheen corporation started selling Pusheen merchandise after the popularity of the cat took off in July 2010. The first Pusheen merchandising was sold on the Everyday Cute website as a charm keychain, and necklace. From there the Merchandising expanded and now Pusheen Corp have teamed up with many brands to create and sell merchandise in stores such as Barnes & Noble, Hot Topic, and Petco. They have even expanded their merchandising to the website Hey Chickadee with merchandise collections dedicated to the cartoon cat, which range from plush toys by manufacturer Gund, clothing, accessories, knick-knacks, and much more. They even have a quarterly subscription box (which is a popular trend within online shopping) that is filled with Pusheen Products.

Victoria's construction pace was fast and exceeded Lancelot's expectations.
He thought that the few thousand Humans, Fairies, and Elves were nut cases. They started logging trees at a rapid pace, clearing empty land, transporting wood, and constructing the foundations of buildings.
Someone drew a few blueprints of buildings as a guide on a wooden board. Besides the buildings, they started planning for different areas. The first area to be built was the Living Quarters.
Besides the Living Quarters, the wood logs were used to make a surrounding wall.
It had only been two days!
Lancelot was shocked. When he thought about the limits of organic life, he saw unlimited possibilities!
He observed the back view of an exhausted Human who was sitting on the ground and eating. 
Lancelot walked over, wanting to chat with them on a basic level and ask them what motivated them to work so hard. Were their families that poor?
Lancelot thought that the exploited laborer would be full of tears as he bit on the bread that was as hard as a bat. He thought that he would use a tree branch to draw out the picture of his little girl.
Lancelot had encountered such scenes many times. After all, life was hard, and poor laborers lived especially hard lives.
When Lancelot walked over, he saw the Human putting clay from the ground into his mouth with a blissful smile.
"Wait! What are you doing? Don't give up hope!"
Lancelot stopped the Human who he thought was swallowing clay to kill himself. What kind of hard labor and immense pressure would cause such a Human to give up his life? Lancelot was excommunicated, but he didn't forsake his belief. Humans who killed themselves were unable to ascend the Heavens!
"I'm eating my meal…" The Human was taken aback. When he realized it was Lancelot, he was unbelievably happy. Lancelot had never seen such a happy being.
"Strange Encounter Mission! I have encountered the legendary Strange Encounter Mission!" the Human shouted loudly, and gamers started to gather around him.
The figures in the forest with shimmering eyes moved towards him. Numerous Humans, Fairies, and Elves looked as though they had found their dream goal. In the darkness, he overheard their conversation.
"His luck is so good. He encountered the Strange Encounter Mission just after the start of service."
"Why haven't I encountered a Strange Encounter Mission? I'd like to have one."
"Selling clay, selling clay. The quality is soft and tasty and of fresh stock!"
"The clay seller is a cheat. He just grabbed the clay from the ground to sell!"
"Who's selling bronze coins? I'm accumulating at high prices. Victoria's first Guild, Hoodlum Yoga Association, is already registered. Come and register fast!"
"It's only been three days, and we have a Guild? The rich gamers are scary!"
"We have more rich gamers than you can imagine."
Lancelot looked to the sides. He felt chills running down his spine from the glimmering stares of those creatures.
Their clothing was tattered, and their hands were badly hurt after two days of continuous work. They were filthy because they hadn't bathed for two days. Even though a river and a lake were nearby, they didn't have the habit of bathing. 
Or perhaps, they were too busy to bathe.
It was understandable that their lives were hard, but the creatures just slept on the ground while ants crawled over their bodies. Could they not find a higher tree?
It wasn't the time to ponder. Those creatures came closer, and Lancelot became nervous, grasping the hilt of his sword instinctively.
"What are you doing?"
A helium voice was heard, and Lancelot looked over. It was the three Hamsters who followed Duchess Lilo.
One of the obese Hamsters charged at Lancelot and shouted, "Don't idly chat with them. The Duchess is looking for you, follow me."
Lancelot heaved a sigh of relief, releasing his sword hilt and following the Hamsters.
The surrounding creatures gave way, but they continued chatting.
"Ah, I thought it was a Strange Encounter Mission, but it's only a Plot."
"A Plot is pretty good too. We have been carrying bricks, constructing houses, and clearing land. Won't we get bored if we don't have some entertainment?"
"Why aren't there any maps for us to fight monsters on the Surface World? I want to fight and sacrifice for Victoria City."
"I only want to save the world."
Lancelot was getting used to their strange conversations. However, he was also worried. Could the insanity be infectious?
The Hamsters led Lancelot to the Castle that was conjured by Lilo, a place that the gamers were unable to get close to.
"Were you going to hack at them?" the Second Boss Hamster asked Lancelot.
"No…"
"But I noticed your hand grasping your sword hilt. Don't do that again. After all, you have signed the contract. Don't ever attack them. Otherwise, there will be severe consequences," the Second Boss said gravely with his helium voice, frowning.
"That's right, you'll have health bars," Big Big Boss said. 
"Do you have things to eat?" The Fat Otaku Hamster looked at Lancelot with anticipation.
Big Boss slapped Fat Otaku's head and said, "What did I say? You'll die if you eat things on the ground! You'll die! There's the Sacred Light, so don't eat indiscriminately!"
"Things on the ground?"
Lancelot was dumbfounded. He felt that he heard something important.
"No, it's nothing. Please go in quickly, don't keep the Duchess waiting," Big Boss said as he pushed Lancelot from behind, pointing to the door in front.

 Kipo and Sarah were heading to the snake village and finish their mission to help the hamsters village.
Kipo : so I have asked you this question before.....but I want to see if the answer have changed....what's the plan ?
Sarah : I didn't change the plan yet.....first...we need to do some scouting....but this time I will do it alone....
Kipo : yeah yeah....I know.
After a while of walking they found the snake village, every snake was asleep, because it was daytime, but that does not mean that they can't wake up.
Sarah has already climbed the same tree Kipo fell off of. 
Kipo : I don't like this tree.
Sarah : I don't think the tree was the problem fatty...
Kipo : I'm not fat.....right ?
Kipo then checked her belly but it was flat.
Kipo in her mind : meh....I'm not fat.
Sarah started looking for any snake that might be awake, but she saw no one, she climbed down the tree and started to look with Kipo in the houses of the village through the windows, they saw many snakes, different sizes and heights, when Sarah saw them she realized that they can't win a fight against these creatures.
Sarah whispered : we have to leave....before we wake one of them up.....if one is up...all are up....let's go.
After they left the village and got far away from it, Kipo was confused of what's the matter.
Kipo : so what's next.....how will we take them out ?
Sarah : we won't.
Kipo : what ?....why ?
Sarah : you don't know much about biology.....do you ?
Kipo : I'm an astronomy scientist....of course I don't know anything about biology.
Sarah : snakes contain venom....this venom can do many different things to it's victim....some hurt...some immobilize....some make you bleed.....and some kills....one drop of a giant snake's venom is enough to kill you at least in like 2 minutes.....there is no way any of us will survive a fight with them.
Kipo : but how do we help the hamsters ?.....we have to.
Sarah : we need to find another way that doesn't involve violence.....unfortunately.
Kipo : we could get Zet.....if violence is still an option.
Sarah : if we do this fight even with Zet.....he might be the only survivor in it.....and that's a maybe.
Kipo : do we head to back to the hamster village now ?
Sarah : I think I have a plan....but we need Zet for it to work.....let's go to his tree house.
After a long walk, the night is almost sitting and it started raining, they have finally reached Zet's house, when they arrived Sarah climbed up to the door and broke it open, she knows that he's not in it.
Kipo : that was very unnecessary of you.
Sarah : sure....we can wait outside if you want.
Kipo : fine....
Sarah : we'll wait for him....he should be back soon.
The girls waited in the tree house for almost 10 minutes, then they heard Zet coming back.
When Zet came in he was surprised to see his door open, he summoned lightning in his hands before going to see who broke his door, he then climbed up and aimed immediately at the first thing he spotted.
Kipo : don't shoot !!
Sarah : oh hey Zet.....thought you'd never come back.
when Zet saw who broke in his house he turned off his lightning hands.
Zet : oh....it's you two....you couldn't more rude than this you know....oh...and hey Kipo.
Sarah : glad to see you too.....you know I broke into my house too.
Kipo : hi Zet.
Zet : what do you want ?
Sarah : long story....we need your help...and no...we're not going to kill or hurt anyone....this time.
Zet : fill me in.
Sarah : so recently we visited a village.....it was the hamsters village....they're dying slowly almost every night.....they're getting hunted by the snakes....they will eventually all die unless they get help.
Zet : and YOU want to help them?....I'm truly shocked...
Sarah : not me precisely....but yes...I do.
Zet : so what's the plan ?
Kipo : well....we tried to fight the snakes at first.....but luckily we realized we can't kill one of them without dying first.
Zet : you just found out?.....the snake that was chasing me was a blind snake.....but also a dumb one....it couldn't speak like the rest....but because it can't see it could hear and smell better than the rest of it's kind.....that one was average height and size to them....no one can miss with these guys and survive....I was lucky to find water on my way.
Kipo : wow....the mutation event did a real number on them.
Sarah : we need to go back to the hamsters village and see how they're holding up.
Zet : let's go then.
A while has passed when they were walking, and suddenly Zet asked Kipo in private.
Zet : hey does she know about what I told you ?
Kipo : no....I did not tell her anything.....yet.
By the time Zet and Kipo finished their private conversation, they have already arrived to their destination, the hamsters village.
Sarah : we're here.
Kipo was glad to see the population of this village didn't decrease as much as she thought.
Kipo : hi everyone !
The hamsters looked at her for a short while without saying any word.
Kipo : right...depression.
Zet : anybody cares to explain what's up with them ?
Kipo : they're usually depressed because of the snake attacks.
Sarah : and we're about to change this.
Sarah then headed to a high place, high enough to be able to gather all the hamsters in one place.
Sarah : alright everyone.....who's of you sick of the snakes attacks almost every night ? 
Many hamsters lift their hands up, while many others just left, they did not want to change anything and accept their fate by ending up eaten by a snake.
Sarah : we can change all of this.
The village chief : we won't fight them.
Sarah : why the hell does everyone find violence the first solution to everything....
Zet : what do you mean ?.....you did that too !
Sarah : shut up.....anyway....we have a plan to make you all safe from the snakes once and for all.
Some of the hamsters that left came back, they wanted to hear this plan before judging.
Sarah : but we need your help with this....if this plan works...none of you will ever be eaten by a snake again.
The villager chief : we're listening.
Sarah : we can change this whole village's location to somewhere else where they won't find you....and we will make decoys in these houses....so they won't suspect anything.....when they find out that you all left it will be too late for them...you would already be gone.
The village chief : but what about when they come at night ?
Sarah : this is why we have this guy.....everyone....meet Zet....he can control lightning and stuff...
Zet : hi everyone.....
Sarah then whispered to Zet.
Sarah : show them....
Zet : oh yeah.....this will hurt.
He then showed off his powers to the hamsters, they were impressed, more of those who left started to come back, this plan was destined to succeed.
Kipo : NOW they're interested.
Sarah : he will be able to keep them away at night.....we will work hard for it....but it will be worth it....unless you all want to be randomly picked as snakes dinner.
The village chief : do you have more details? 
Sarah : yes....but for now...that's all you need to know to judge.....so...do you agree to save yourselves ?
The hamsters finally let out a small smile on their faces, the village chief nodded in agreement, Sarah nodded back, she was excited for her plan to work.
Sarah : alright then.....let's get to work !
Zet : wait...who came up with this idea ?
Kipo : I didn't even know about it.....all Sarah.
Zet : not bad.....not bad...so what we should do first ?
Sarah : ok....Kipo....go get wood from the forest....get a group with you...gather as much sticks as you can find.
Kipo : got it !
Sarah : and Zet....I need you to keep an eye on the snakes at all time....keep them away from here as much you can....if you're part fails....the whole plan fails.
Zet : no pressure huh ? 
Sarah : relax....we both know you got this....
Zet : speak for yourself.....but sure.
The village chief : and what's our part ? 
Sarah : work on transferring all your stuff outside of the village....and I will go and find a new place for you to live in.
The chief nodded in agreement.
The village chief : thank you....for all of this.
Sarah nodded with a faint smile on her face.
Sarah then left the village to look for the villager's new home. 
Hours have passed, the night has started to set, Sarah found 3 different places, she can't make the choice herself, it's all up to the chief to decide, it's time for her to get back.
when Sarah came back she saw progress being made, they are desperate to live a happy normal life.
Kipo and Zet had already came back after hard long day of work.
Sarah : Zet....report.
Zet : they don't show any action all day....only night....
Sarah : good news.....you'll have time to rest in the day.
Zet : heading to do my job. 
Sarah : and what about you Kipo ? 
Kipo leaded Sarah into one of the houses where she put all the sticks she gathered, it was a massive pile of sticks .
Kipo : is this enough ? 
When Sarah saw the pile she was surprised.
Sarah : more than enough....good job.....you can go get some rest now.
Kipo : you're not coming ?
Sarah : I'll be late....I need to speak with the chief.
Kipo : ok....see you later.
Sarah then went to speak with chief, he was in a private meeting with a group of villagers, she heard them talking about her and her group, she decided to hide in a place where they won't see her and started to listen. 
Villager : we have to do this....it will be way better than her plan.
Villager : but they're trying to help us.
Village chief : they're humans....we can't trust them....we have to do it....
Villager : it's simple....we capture them when they are defenseless....we deliver them to him and we will be rewarded with a wish....as he usually does....and he will get rid of all the snakes....he doesn't like them anyway.
Village chief : we will capture them tomorrow at dawn....be ready for them....we know where they live.
Sarah was surprised by this, it was all a trap, they were betraying them all this time, she had to do something fast, she ran away from the village without anyone seeing her and headed straight to their tent, when she arrived their she found Kipo sleeping. 
Sarah : Kipo wake up!
Kipo : woah....what's going on ? 
Sarah : pack the tent....we need to leave now.
Kipo : what ?....why ?....what happened ?
Sarah : I will explain later....but now we need to find Zet.....pack everything and wait here....I'll go call Zet....be right back.
Sarah then ran and searched for a 2 rocks and a stick, she then climbed a big tree as fast as she could and started to set the stick on fire, she then howled as loudly. 
Zet heard it, he looked up at the sky.
Sarah then set the stick on fire and threw it up in the sky.
Zet saw it and ran back to her as fast he could.
Zet has arrived.
Zet : what's the emergency ?
Sarah : no time to explain now....we need to get to Kipo.
Zet and Sarah then ran back to Kipo, she already finished packing the tent.
Sarah : Kipo....when you went to get the sticks....did you pass by Zet's house ? 
Kipo : yes....multiple times....there were many broken trees in that area.....is there anything wrong ?
Zet : I live next to the lumber cats....
Sarah : oh no....the tree house is compromised....we need to get all the stuff you need in that house and leave...now.
Zet : are you going to say what's happening ? 
Sarah : they're frauds....they were trying to capture us all this time....apparently they know that were humans and they're going to deliver us to him.
Zet : him ?
Sarah : I don't know either....they kept saying him....they are going to attack us at dawn....we need to hurry and get your important stuff and ditch that place....now !
Zet : let's go.
They ran to Zet's tree house, there was no one there, they had to hurry, when they arrived they were about to get in, but Zet stopped them outside.
Zet : stop here....I won't take long.
Sarah nodded.
Kipo : ok.
after 15 minutes Zet came out of the tree house with a backpack.
Zet : alright....I'm ready...let's get away from this place.
After Zet finished packing they all headed in the opposite direction of the hamsters village.
They have been walking all night, they were all tired, they needed to sleep, when they walked far enough from the hamsters village, they found a spot to set the camp in, it was in the forest, where the trees will give them cover to protect them from their enemies.
Everyone was tired, but Zet was angry, he waited for the girls to sleep then he flew back to hamsters village, when he arrived he sneaked into the house where Kipo stashed all the sticks, he grabbed a big amount and sat them all on fire and threw them at the villager's houses burning many houses they were sleeping in, he then flew back to the camp, he found Sarah waiting for him.
She was worried about him.
Sarah : where were you ? 
Zet : they took my home away.....so I took theirs.
Sarah : so much for laying low....
Zet did not respond, he was very mad, he can kill the whole village in a matter of minutes, but his conscious will always prevent him from killing.

The story revolves around

Each one of them has stories to be told, and adventures to be talked about....hope you enjoy this.

"I asked you to find a single person, but you still haven't found her after so many days. What use do I have for you!"
Elder Rong angrily slammed his fist on the table, and that table instantly broke into smithereens within moments, making everyone who was present shudder.
They could imagine the formidable power that fist would produce if it hit their body.
"Elder Rong, I have a plan." Within the crowd, a gray-robed man stood forward, cupping his hands in a salute, and respectfully said, "Last time, that Godly Doctor left an answer below the man luo poison[1] question, proving that she is very interested in peculiar and rare diseases, so how about we post an extremely difficult problem on the wall? If she appears and works out the solution, then we will be able to find her!"
Elder Rong's anger had dissipated by half, but his complexion still did not look too great.
"Then we will do it as he said. In a moment, I will provide a difficult problem, and you will then post it and use it to lure her out!"
--
Four days later.
Inside the single-storied house at Yun Estate's rear mountain, Yun Luofeng opened her eyes and felt the power surging out of her body, her lips curled into a bewitching smile.
"Early-level intermediate-rank spirit cultivator."
In four days' time, she went from an early-level low rank to intermediate rank. If such talent was revealed, it would definitely stun the entire Long Yuan Kingdom!
"With this last remaining dose of Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid, it looks like I will need to reallocate. Never mind, I will go to the Medical Pavilion to try to see how much this last dose can sell for. A doctor is a profession that burns a lot of money, and merely relying on the 45 million taels that Mu Shen owes me isn't enough," Yun Luofeng muttered to herself.
She was about to rise from the bathtub when she suddenly discovered a small figure sticking out its tiny butt and licking the bathwater that got splashed on the floor—even the water in the corner was not spared.
"Xiao Mo, why didn't you tell me that something came in?" Yun Luofeng stared at the gluttonous little guy and asked with a raised brow.
Before long, Xiao Mo's guilty and defensive voice could be heard from inside her mind.
"Master, this is only a gluttonous gold-seeking hamster, attracted by this Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid. It isn't harmful to you, so I didn't inform you."
He would never tell his own master that this hamster's presence was too weak, so he overlooked its presence.
"Gold-seeking hamsters like to eat Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid?"
Yun Luofeng stared at this snow-white gold-seeking hamster, the glint in her eyes slightly turned a few rounds.
"What gold-seeking hamster eats isn't Spirit-Gathering Medicinal Liquid; what it likes to eat are medicinal herbs! Moreover, it relies on medicinal herbs to increase its strength! However, this gold-seeking hamster hasn't eaten medicinal herbs before, so up until now, its strength is still very low! Master, this time, you found a treasure."
Xiao Mo's voice was very excited, "The lineage of this gold-seeking hamster is very pure! If you bring it with you, it can help you discover extremely valuable medicinal herbs! Of course, you need to be cautious, the gold-seeking hamster is voracious, so if you let it search for medicinal herbs, it will eat it all!"
"The only ability of gold-seeking hamster is to discover precious medicinal herbs?"
"Of course not! Gold-seeking hamster's own strength is also very strong; its teeth can bite and break the toughest and most durable sword in the world! Its claw can dig through the General Estate within two hours! Because it has a small body and sharp teeth, even if it fights with spirit beasts like jackals and wolves, it still wouldn't be in a disadvantageous position! The premise is that the gold-seeking hamster is allowed to grow."
Xiao Mo became more excited the more he talked, "However, if you want to strengthen a gold-seeking hamster, the amount of medicinal herbs that you have to invest will be as high as a mountain! This is also precisely why there aren't many people on this continent who can successfully nurture powerful gold-seeking hamsters. Because of this, the world generally believes that gold-seeking hamsters level up slowly and possess weak strength."
Yun Luofeng grew silent, however, the pair of bewitching eyes staring at the gold-seeking hamster brightly shone.

Yun Luofeng, the genius of Huaxia Medicial School, died from an accident, and her soul attached onto the useless Eldest Miss of the General Estate in Longxia Continent.
Not only was this trash ungifted in the literary arts and martial arts, but she was also big chested without a brain, arrogant, and self-willed. It was not enough for her to have a perfect fiancé like the Crown Prince. She actually forcibly snatched a pretty boy in public, leading to the Crown Prince to annul their engagement.
However, the waste could not withstand this shock, so she actually hung herself to end her life.
Opening her eyes again, she was no longer the previous useless eldest miss.
With a contract with the Medical God's Code, the possession of a spiritual plant space, and miraculous hands that can bring the dead back to life, her medical skills will stun the world! Extending from the royals and nobles on top to the merchants and old and influential families below, they will all compete to curry her favor. Even His Highness the Crown Prince, who previously broke the engagement, came knocking on the door with a desire to reconcile?
In regard to this, a certain mysterious man finally could not endure it anymore and proclaimed, “Whoever dares to come and harass my woman, let them come but never return!”

"Oh my god boss, this car is just too awesome. One step on the gas pedal and ….. I freaking love it! But boss, didn't you say you were short on funds?" Driving this brand new Ford F750 around, Robins can only be said to be excited. Yes, excited. In fact, no matter who is driving this beast, they will all be excited. Jiang Hai doesn't have his driver's license yet, otherwise there is no way that Robins would be the one currently driving.
"There is no problem. This amount of spending can only be said to be spare change." Jiang Hai said happily.
Yup, what Jiang Hai bought is the Ford F750. Normally the biggest pickup available on market in China is the F650 with a base price tag of 3,000,000 yuan. It is already big enough to be awe-inspiring. However in America, the bigger 750 already existed. The starting price of the 650 here is $35,000 while the 750 is at $48,000.
After inquiring about the prices, Jiang Hai paid the asking price without any haggling or hesitation. Swipe the card and pick up the cars. Furthermore with just this time alone, he paid for 3 trucks. 2 F750 and 1 F650. The 2 750 is for the farm while the 650 is for him to fool around with when he gets his license upgraded.
These car's prices can be considered to be pretty cheap. Compared to those supercars that easily cost a few million and on, these $500,000 pickups can only be said to be a bargain. After paying for these trucks, Jiang Hai drove off with one on the spot. The other 2 alone with Robins' old pickup will of course be delivered back to the estate by Durufle.
Along the way, Jiang Hai experienced first hand the feeling of being superior than everyone else. If he says he wasn't excited then he really is a retard. Of course the one most excited here is Robins; who is driving this beast. Their original plan was to buy the trucks first then go adopt some dogs. Generally there are a very few places which straight up sell dogs in America; especially for likes of cattle dogs. Usually people try to request them from others. If they are rejected, then will adopt some stray dogs under the condition that they are smart enough.
However now with their new car, their plans changed. After a special round trip around the town to satisfy their cravings, they reluctantly drove to the town's animal shelter. When this black beast arrived in front of the animal shelter, all the dogs inside started to bark non stop. This is also the first time a beast of this size appeared in the town. When the workers inside heard the dog's bark, they all walked out to see what the cause is and what appeared infront of them is this monstrous beast.
*Peng* *Peng* Out came Jiang Hai and Robins as they jumped down. This car is seriously big and tall. The footstep to the ground has a distance of almost a meter. But this does not trouble Jiang Hai and Robins at all as they landed on the ground.
"Hi there, how may I help you?" A nervous girl came over and said, baffled.
Although she doesn't understand cars, but seeing the car in front of her, her instincts tell her this car is very expensive. That also means these two are definitely rich. But as to why these rich people are here, she has no clue.
"Um, it's like this. I'm the new owner of the Green Forest, and I'm thinking of raising some cows. So I am currently in need of some cattle dogs, which is why I am here to see if there are any here." Jiang Hai happily explained.
The girl in front of him is around 5'3. Caucasian, a bit chubby with some freckles.
"Oh, so it's like this, follow me." Hearing Jiang Hai is here to adopt pets, although having already guessed their intentions, the girl still smiled.
In these shelters, there are no workers, but only volunteers. It can be said most of the people who work here are all compassionate. What they really want to see is the animals here be adopted by families. Especially rich families like Jiang Hai's.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Jiang Hai muttered before following the girl in.
As soon as they entered the shelter, Jiang Hai is astonished by it's size. This shelter is really … big. There are many different species here. Not only do they house pet cats and dogs, but also other types as well. In America there really isn't any nature conservation act. As long as you have the money then you can buy (adopt) what you want. The most famous of which is Mike Tyson's tigers. As long as what you raise doesn't hurt people then go ahead, this is also why there are all kinds of pets in America.
Not only is there is normal cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters. The unconventional spiders, lizards, snakes, turtles, martens, rabbits and so on. There are also some real predators. Such as the golden eagle that is staring directly at him as soon as he entered the shelter. Behind it is even more hawks, eagles, falcons and other small sized predators.
Apart from these predators, there is also a bunch of snakes in the opposite room. Species such as the golden python and the likes are pretty common. There is also some rare poisonous snakes, like the black mamba, king cobra and so on, here as well. Due to them entering, these beasts all raised their heads and hissed at him from their cages.
"You guys really have quite a selection here." Jiang Hai exclaimed excitingly. He doesn't have many hobbies, but the raising pets is definitely one of them. Especially when it comes to raising predators, no men will say no to them. Sadly the chinese government restricts you from raising them, but now that he is in America, he really wants to try it. Seeing all these animals, he is already making plans for them.
"Yup, you just came to America didn't you? We have pets of all kinds here. The ones here are just the small ones. All the big ones are in the back." The girl said nonchalantly.
Because the American government allows unrestrained raising of pets, there are all kinds of pets in America. But there are always some morons out there who will do everything half heartedly. When they start to raise their pets, they will say they will raise them properly and so and so. But not long after, they will get annoyed with all the this.
Under normal conditions there are two ways to solve this. One is to kill it. This tends to bring in some compensation in China since you can just sell them to stores that specialize in these things, but is very rare in America. The second option would be to just throw them away, which is the option most Americans take. But there is also some policies in place such that these thrown away pets don't end up as stray animals who will cause some pandemic or something.
After passing the migrant birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, cat, small and medium sized dogs, they finally arrived at the back of the shelter. Here is where all the big animals are sheltered, but the first thing that appeared in front of Jiang Hai is a freaking bear.
*roar* Sensing the arrival of outsiders, this beast who was originally lying down inside of it's cage suddenly stood up and roared. Seeing this more than 2 meter tall intimidating beast, even Robins began to back away. Yet due to the tattoo on him, Jiang Hai treated these animal's intimidation as nothing. Instead, it led Jiang Hai to examine this bear even more closely. Only to find it missing an eye and bear multiple scars.
"Paul, down! He is a tragic grizzly from Colorado. He was raised up by people since he was a cub. Sadly his previous owner is really a good-for-nothing. The missing eye and all those scars are all caused by them. When we found him, he was on the verge of death, but he at least is alive now. However apart from us, he has a grudge against all other humans." noticing Jiang Hai's interest, the girl explained as she hit the cage. Sure enough, the bear listened to her and lied down again, resuming its previous calmness.
Hearing her explanation, Jiang Hai nodded, but didn't say anything and continued forward. He discovered that this area for large beasts is more like a small zoo than anything else. Apart from the grizzly at the front door, there are also leopards, jaguars, black bears, river boas, and even crocodiles. According to the girl, most of the animals here are not from the Boston area. Rather they mostly came from New York ().
He can't help but acknowledge the fact that rich people are sometimes really abnormal. But honestly, Jiang Hai can also be considered a rich person. Thus, when he saw these animals, he also had thoughts of wanting to raise some. Thinking up to here, Jiang Hai shook his head and put this matter behind him, since this is not the main reason why he is here.
After following the girl to the very back of the shelter, they arrived at the section where all the big hounds are kept. The reason why these dogs are placed behind those predators is because of their sheer volume. As soon as Jiang Hai entered, all those hounds stood up in their cages and stared unwaveringly at the group. From the looks of things, these dogs aren't as friendly as you might think.
When the girl entered a particular room, she said "All the dogs here were all cattle dogs or sheep dogs previously. They were all sent here because either their owner died or because they couldn't be supported anymore. Therefore they don't have grudges against humans. They are pretty easy to handle and all had some training before. You guys can take a look and once you have finished selecting, we can begin the adoption process."

Blue sky, white clouds, lazily lying on the beach, while feeling the gentle breeze coming from the sea. Hounds at the side with marine animals chasing each other around. Cups of unrivaled wine from his personal winery with cuts of prime A grade steaks readily around. For others, life is all about pursuing money, power, and fame, but for Jiang Hai, this type of lifestyle is what he constantly dreamed of.

It was a bright and sunny day.


Rich's mother takes him for a walk in the city to buy groceries (which is boring).


While strolling around the city, Rich came across a pet store nearby, and started pulling his mother's sleeves, "Mom! Let's go there! I want to see the animals."


"Ok, ok. Let's go,"


The first thing they saw they went inside were hamsters running inside their wheels. 

And mice chewing on their food.


Rabbits shaking their nose. Cats staring at them with a confused look. Dogs sitting still with their tongues sticking out. Fishes waggle in the water, and birds create a soothing sound.


And countless crickets chilling inside a piece of wood...


But what caught his attention was a pair of big hamsters like creatures resting in their cages.


"Mom! Look! A guinea pig!" He said while running to it.


"Oh, you like this one kid?" The shopkeeper asked.


He's in his forties. Wearing a vintage outfit that had blue square lines, pattern shirt, and black trouser, "They're mainly rodents, but also biologically related to pigs."


"Wow! Can we keep it, Mom? Please... Pretty please..."


She hesitated for a moment before giving her answer, "No,"


 "What? Why?"


"I prefer the hamsters,"


Rich stomps the ground, and says, "But I want it!"


"Are you sure? I think hamsters is better since it's smaller, and easier to take care of,"


"No! I want a guinea pig!"


She sighed, and decided to give up, "Fine..."


His heart was pumped with excitement giving a cheerful smile.


"We'll take this one," She pointed at the one with white and brown fur.


The shopkeeper nods, and gently carries the little big creature in a cardboard box while Rich and his mother were picking a cage for it to stay.


.....

.....

.....


"Okay. There you go," Rich mother placed the guinea pig in his purple colored cage near the house exit. Letting it roam around, and get used to its new home.


"So, what are you going to name him?" She asked Rich.


"Hmm... I'm gonna name him Hurly!"


"Hurly? From the movie?"


"Yeah!"


"Alright, it's your choice,"


Rich noticed something was missing, and gasped, "Mom! where is Hurly's food! He's going to starve soon!"


"Ok, ok. I'll feed him now,"


.....

.....

.....


Ever since that day, Rich has been spending time with Hurly day and night. Literally everyday. 


Taking him for a walk around the room.


Feed him. Changes his water.


And watches movies together, "Look, Hurly. That's you on TV."


And finally. Reading storybooks for Hurly, "The big bad wolf blows the house made of straws flew away-"


"Wait a minute... Can you understand what what I'm saying?" He asked while staring at Hurly.


Hurly only walks around pretending he doesn't hear anything.


"Hmm... Nevermind. I'll read lots of stories for you until you understand what I'm saying,"


.....

.....

.....


Few months later...


The sun hasn't fully raised yet. Only dark blue lights were visible indoors.


Rich was first to wakes up in this dark morning, and rushed his way to Hurly's cage, "Good morning, Hurly. Are you still asleep?"


Hurly only stays still in the corner not responding to Rich's greeting, "Hurly?"


He pokes Hurly a few times, and feels that his body was hard as stone while still not moving at all, "Mom!"


"Mom! Come quick! Hurly is not moving!"


"Wha- what!" She jolts awake, and gets up from her mattress. Running right next to him to observe Hurly's condition.


"Hurly? Are you ok boy?" She opens the cage. Putting in her right hand inside to give Hurly a little push.


Hurly then drops like a fallen statue.


She gasped in shock while Rich was terrified.


"He's dead..." She said.


"Ah! Hurly, no!"


"It can't be helped. He's gone now,"


"How did he die... And why!" He asked while sobbing.


"I think he was sick. His left eye was harder than the rest of his body," She answered after examining him for a few moments.


"I... I noticed that... And thought he was injured. I should've known he was sick!" He said making his heart more heavier, and painful than before.


"It's not your fault. Even if we know he's sick, the vet is too far away from our place to cure him,"


"Well, it's time to throw him away,"


Rich was surprised to hear this, "shouldn't we bury him?"


"We don't have a shovel. It's much easier anyway,"


Then she had an idea, "Or... why don't we place something next to him?"


She wraps Hurly's body with paper, and places him in a box, and puts a ladder next him, "Like this ladder. He loves to climb it right?"


"Oh, I know!" Rich runs to the living room, and rips apart a piece of paper from his book on the shelves then writes something on it.


Goodbye, Hurly. We'll always remember you. Rest in peace, My friend.


He placed it right next to him, and his mother closes the box, and carried it, "Let's take him away,"


"Wait!" He stopped her.


"Hmm? Why?"


"Let me carry him,"


"Alright," She hands over the box. Rich carefully grabs it into his arms like he was about to hug it.


"Let's go,"


.....

.....


Rich and his mother were walking halfway to the large green box that was filled with garbage. Giving him a second thought, "Hurly..."


Why does he have to go there...


Tears started to force their way out, but his mother saw it, and said, "Don't cry. People are watching."


He musters all his strength to hold it back.


Rich tosses Hurly into the pile of garbage with a frown on his face, and walks away.


He wanted to turn around, and look at it once last time, but he chose not to, and hold his mother's hand, "Mom."


"Yes?"


"Is Hurly happy there in heaven?"


She was surprised to hear this question, but calmly answers it, "As long as you don't cry for him then he will."


"Alright! Then I won't!"


She smiles, and keeps on walking until they reach home.


.....

.....

.....


Few weeks later.


They've come across the pet store again, and his mother asked, "Want a new friend?"


Rich hesitated for a moment, and answered, "Yes?"


"Well, this time I'm choosing the hamsters," She said in a demanding tone.


"Ok..."


They stepped into the store, and the shopkeeper greeted them, "Oh, welcome back. How's the guinea pig doing?"


Rich breathes in as much air he could. Fighting off his sadness.


He saw Rich's reaction, and nods in understanding, "I see... Sorry for that."


Rich's mother cuts in, and says "It's fine. Do you still have any hamsters?"


"Yes, they never stop breeding. Pick as much as you want," He pointed at the hamsters.


"Oh, look at them, B. Aren't they cute?"


"Um... Yeah..."


Rich went closer, and saw the hamsters were looking at them while standing with two legs for a moment, and sniffing the air with it's little pink nose, "So cute!"


His mother was glad to see him cheerful, and had decided, "We'll take two pairs,"


"Four? Alright. Which one do you want?" The shopkeeper asked with a hint of glee in his tone.


"Got any discount?" She asked with a grind.


"No," He answers blankly.


.....

.....

.....


"Welcome to your new home everyone!"


"The home where Hurly used to live..."


His mother gave a slight cough, and asked, "Aren't you going to name them?"


"Oh, yeah!"


Rich looked at each of the hamsters, and thought for a whole minute, "Alright! The white and orange spot will be Bucky!"


"From the movie again?" She asked.


"Yes! And this white and gray will be called, Grey,"


"Are you sure? You know that's a female right?"


"I will still call her Grey," Rich crosses his arms.


"Ok, ok."


"I will call the white one, Snowy,"


"Better,"


Rich suddenly pauses for a moment, "What is this color?" He said while pointing at the last and biggest hamster.


She took a closer look.


It had white, black, brown, and a rare unique color to its fur, "I think it's brown-coffee."


He opens his mouth wide to say, "Oh..."


"Then I will call him, Diego!"


She raises her eyebrows, "The one from that cartoon show you watched? Why?"


"Because he's going to be strong and adventurous like Diego," He said with pride.


"Haha. Alright, from now on his name is, Diego,"


.....

.....

.....


Just like before, Rich treats them like how he treats Hurly.


Out of curiosity, he places them on a rope that his mother tied next to the bathroom to hang the laundry, and places a pillow under it to avoid injury.


They really walked over it.


"Wow, you guys are amazing!"


.....

.....

…..


Today, Diego was moved to another cage because…


He's too big and hostile. Fighting anyone on his way.


"There you go. Now you can't bite anyone anymore," Rich's mother said. Dropping him into the new cage.


"Bad Diego," Rich said while tapping Diego's nose.


A few days after Diego was moved, the metal cage was bent wide by being opened too much, causing the two hamsters to escape at night. Walking at every corner of the house. Exploring, sniffing, biting, and carrying… Red onions to the cage? From the kitchen? How does that fit in that small gap?


…..

…..

…..


The next morning.


"B!"


Rich forces his eyes open slowly getting up, and walks toward his mother like a moving toy using batteries that almost drain out, "What's the matter mom…" He said while rubbing his eyes.


"Why are there onions inside their cage?"


"Onions? I don't know. Where?"


"Here…" She lifts the cage from the bedding.


Rich took a closer look, and saw a half dozen red onions, interrupted Snowy's sleep, and Diego from the other side looking around confused at how the cage was lifted, "Hmm?"


"Mom, where is Bucky and Grey?"


"I don't know. Maybe they are responsible for these onions. We should look for them,"


Rich searched around the living room like playing hide and seek while his mother went to the bathroom because she's afraid that they would get wet there.


…..

…..


"Did you find them, B?"


"No,"


"Thank god they're not in the bathroom. Let's look for them in the kitchen,"


Both steps into the kitchen, and Rich heard something was rattling from the left side. He went there, and saw Bucky peeking through the boxes and random stuff then went back to hide, "Mom! I saw Bucky!"


"Where?"


"He's hiding behind here," Rich said. Pointing at where he saw Bucky.


She moves some of the objects, and saw Bucky and Grey with more onions, and bite a hole through a box.


Both Rich and his mother feel relief when they find them again, and put them back into the cage, "I'm going to close the gap with rope or wires so that they won't sneak out again."


"Oh, ok,"


"But I'm still confused how they could carry the onions and why?"


"Maybe they like onions," He said while making an idiotic smile.


"I don't think they could..." She said while still wondering.


"Well, keep an eye on them, B. I'm going to cook breakfast,"


"Alright!"


…..

…..

…..


Few weeks had passed. Everything went well, and cheerful. 


Until…


Rich was done playing with his toys in the living room, and decided to check on the hamsters.


Snowy was sleeping peacefully in the small house, and Diego was walking… Uncomfortably…


Bucky was eating.


Eating something Rich never expected Bucky would feast on…


Grey…


"Bucky! What are you doing!"


Half of Grey's head was completely devoured by his own friend.


Rich eyes were widened.


Looking at Bucky with disbelief, "Mom!"


He ran toward his mother. Trying to focus on sewing some clothes with holes, and told her, "Mom! Bucky is eating Grey!"


She frowned, and said, "Don't be ridiculous. They won't eat each other."


"No! He's really eating her right now!"


"It's not good to talk to them like that, you know. I'm really busy right now."


"I'm not lying! See it for yourself!" Rich pulls her hand, and drags her away from the couch.


"Look!"


She examined the cage, and saw what he said was true.


"Ah!" She lifts the cage from its bedding, and pushes Bucky away.


"Oh no…  Grey…" She brings a piece of cloth, and grabs Grey with it.


"Looks like we had to throw her away..."


Rich made a disgusted face, and said, "Along with the thrash again?"


"I have no choice. I'm not willing to bury her,"


Rich's jaws were crushing together, and looking away from her, "You throw her away. I'm not going."


"Alright, I'm taking her away," She drops Grey into a garbage bag.


He witnesses it with disdain. Watching her stepping out of the door to dispose of his lost companion.


Sitting down, and yelled, "Why! Why did you eat Grey!"


Bucky was surprised, but ignored him after a moment.


"Wasn't she your partner? Why did you do it?"


No response…


"Argh!" He storms off, and locks himself in the room feeling despair. Staring at the ceiling unable to move on for losing Grey.


Rich started to visit them less often ever since.


Bucky was feeling weak after a few days.


It was then a silent night. Rich couldn't sleep. So, he decided to visit the hamsters, and saw… Bucky was lying motionless in the middle of the cage, "Bucky?"


He gave a few strong shakes, and realised, "You… Died…?"


Rich sniffs a little, and feels a pressure coming from his throat and eyes, but he gains back his composure, and says, "Hmph, suits you well. That's what you get for killing Grey."


He runs back into his room, laying flat on the bed trying to forget about Bucky until he falls asleep.


…..

…..

…..


"I'm home,"


After hearing that voice, Rich quickly raises up, and gleefully hops out of his bed to greet her, "Mom! Guess what, Bucky…" 


He suddenly felt reluctant to say it, "Bucky died."


"Oh," She bows down, and sees Bucky was still lying in the middle.


"Well, I feel bad for him, but he deserves it," She brings a few pieces of tissue, and grabs Bucky with it, dumping him in the trash bag, and dispatching him the next morning.


Leaving Snowy by herself.


Just to die on her own laying in the pure white house.


"No! Not Snowy! Wake up! Don't die!" Rich couldn't hold his tears anymore, letting it all out like a flood caused by a devastating storm crashed through a solid wall.


"Out of all of the other places, she chose to die here… That's what I love about Snowy, but it's time for her to go…" She was about to get up until Rich grabbed her arms with both hands.


"Can we bury her… Please…" He pleaded.


She gave a heavy sigh, and smiled, "Alright, but only this once."


Rich then smiles like the sun appearing during a rain.


They went to the backyard, and it was only next to a huge hill. His mother bought a cleaver to replace a shovel and a cloth with Snowy inside it, "This seems to be a good place. Should we do it here?"


He nods, and she started stabbing the dirt off the ground as deep as she could, "Alright, this seems deep enough. Now, let's put Snowy inside."


She gently places Snowy in the hole, and covers it up with dirt, "Rest in peace, Snowy."


"Goodbye, Snowy…" Rich sniffs, and let go of his tears. His mother pats his head a bit before giving a hug.


"It's all fine now. I'm sure she's happy after resting her body in a safe place,"


"Yeah…! As long as she's happy,"


…..

…..

…..


Diego has been moved to the old cage since it's bigger than the one he lives in now.


Rich stares at him, and says "Ok, You better behave yourself since you're the only one left."


"Well, even though you're bad I will still be your friend. Welcome back, Diego."


He cherishes Diego a lot.


Trying his best not to harm, and lost another friend.


…..

…..

…..


It was almost the end of the weekend, Rich hadn't looked at Diego for two days, and decided to walk pass by to check on him.


"Diego!"


He fell on his knees, and stared at his last friend lying flat on the ground with his head facing sideways with his eyes closed.


His mother rushed in, and asked, "What happened! What's wrong with Diego?"


"He… Died…" He was lost in words. He felt like a boy without a soul.


"Oh… Not again…"


"Are you ok, B?" Giving him a concerned look. 


"No!"


"I'm not ok!"


"Just take him away already!" Rage and despair could be heard from his voice.


His mother could only obey, and leave the house with Diego in her hands.


Rich was staring at the empty cage. Blaming himself deep inside his heart.


He's all alone again…


No friends…


Probably never will…


Dec/1/Thu/2022 8:16am


A great day for a walk in town.


The worst part is…


Everytime they walked past the pet store. Rich will suddenly turn upset remembering the heartbreaking past.


"Want to go, and ask?" She said.


"Ask what?" He replies, giving a puzzled look.


"Like why all of them died,"


He gave a serious nod, and both stepped in the store for the last time.


"Oh, it's you two. Haven't seen you for some time," The shopkeeper said.


Rich's mother steps in and said, "Yeah, today we just wanted to ask you something,"


"Hmm? Sure. Go on?"


She then explains what happened to the hamsters for the past two months. The shopkeeper nods, and gave his answers, "I see the problem here,"


"I wanted to say the onions caused it, but I don't think that's the reason,"


"There's three things that's happening to them: One is depression. Two are illnesses. Three is the cage is cage was too small,"


"Having three or four hamsters in that cage is not big enough, and will cause depression then starting to kill each other,"


"Or, the other hamster was attacked by parasite, and caused one of them to die, and the other must take responsibility to eat or dispose it before the dead body pollutes their home,"


Rich realised what he was talking about "Bucky…"


"My guesses are the rest probably died because the parasite manage to attack all of them or their life span was shortened by over stressed,"


"I see… What do you think, B?" She turned around just to see him crying again.


"Oh! Sorry! Did I make him cry?" The asked.


"Mom… Bucky was a good guy all along?"


"They weren't happy this whole time!"


His mother ran in front of him and rested her hands on his shoulders, "No, it's not true. They were happy."


"No they're not!"


"We couldn't afford to take care of them!"


Rich calms down, and closes his eyes, pushing out his tears, trying to avoid her eyes, and says, "It's fine, Mom…"


"I rather be alone without friends if that could make them happy…"


"I don't want a pet anymore…"


"Let's go home…"

"I want to reach my hand to the skies and feel free,"

"I wish to climb the mountains to experience the challenge and danger,"

" To share my glory along with my friends,"

"Sometimes I wanted to be alone, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings without problems,"

"Why is it so complicated to achieve?"

This is the story of boy who wanted to be free and participate in extreme activities, but life have other plans for him and decided to change his fate and gave him isolation instead of freedom. Will he get the life he always wanted?

"Ever played other VRMMMOs games before?"
Chikinsupu asked Bob.
"I don't recall ever playing vee are eminem o's before. What are those?"
Bob replied while still staring at the horned rabbit that was in his sight. He was alert and he clenched his behind. It seems Bob has experienced a trauma.
Hearing Bob's reply, Chikinsupu laughed.
"Haha. Dude. For real? Stop pulling my leg." Chikinsupu now accepted Bob's silliness.
"Hahaha, why are we laughing?"
"Hahaha. Give me a moment."
Chikinsupu found Bob's roleplaying ridiculous but he learned to just enjoy the act. He soon finished collecting himself and looked at Bob's idiotic face.
"Pfft. Hahahaha"
"What's so funny?"
"Haha. Forgive me."
Chikinsupu stopped for a moment and once again collected himself. He will now continue what he was supposed to ask Bob.
"So, Bob. You've never played VRMMOs before?"
"I don't even know what those are."
"Hmm. At this point, I can no longer tell whether you're joking or not."
Chikinsupu looked at Bob with an inquisitive gaze. All he could find within Bob's visage was confusion without a hint of guilt for lying.
'He's telling the truth.'
Chikinsupu realized that Bob was not just any noob in Immersion online.
'He's a boomer, isn't he?'
"Then I'll explain to you how combat works in VRMMOs. First, virtual reality is just like real life."
Chikinsupu began explaining about the game mechanics. He was having a hard time dumbing down techinical terms so that idiots like Bob could understand.
In Immersion Online, you could move your avatar(character) according to your will but the speed and power of your actions are based on your stats. For example, a child playing with 10 STR could bring as much power as a trained martial artist with 10 STR.
However, there will always be a difference due to technique. The power distribution towards a target will always matter when it comes to hitboxes in an online game.
Hitting a leg does less damage than hitting the stomach or the head. The importance of technique made the game popular within Asia because of the skill cap.
But it does not mean to say that regular players do not stand a chance against trained players. That is where stat superiority comes in, where even technique could not overcome.
"So what I need you to do is observe. What do you think about the nature of your opponent?"
"You mean the horned rabbit?"
"Yes. I meant the horny rabbit."
Chikinsupu pointed towards another player that was brawling with a horned rabbit.
"What I need you to remember, is that you never show your back against an aggressive enemy."
'Because this one in particular with **** you.'
Bob took Chikinsupu's words to heart. He was learning for the first time in his life. What Chikinsupu didn't know was that his words today were what will drive Bob forward.
"Okay. I'm ready to fight!" Bob said with confidence.
"Good luck."
Bob walked towards a horned rabbit garnered its attention. He took a fighting stance with his sword and focused his gaze towards the rabbit.
'I won't lose again.'
He thought as his butt clenched. There was a phantom feeling that he just couldn't shake off.
"Hup!"
Bob moved forward with his sword. He was not trained with the sword but he somehow managed to do a proper lunge. A miracle.
'Ah. I forgot to tell him that he can't fight a Lvl 2 rabbit while being Lvl 1.' Chikinsupu slapped his forehead at this thought.
In other words. Bob got hit by a kick that was faster than he could move. The rabbit's kick was not fast but the limit of a level 1 body was trash. So despite seeing the attack, Bob could not evade and got kicked back.
Bob was thrown back and fell to the ground. This time, he was face up so the rabbit could not do its signature thrusts so it just continued assaulting Bob with its kicks.
'He's going to die. I should intervene.'
Chikinsupu jumped into battle and drove the rabbit away. The rabbit was dissatisfied because it felt it got blocked but it still moved away.
"Sorry, Bob. I forgot to tell you about the importance of levels. Especially when just starting the game."
Every level up gives a player 10 default points to distribute to their stats. For example, a level 50 player would have a default 500 stat point distribution, and a level 51 would have 510 stat points.
The rational difference between the two was negligible and the difference between skill and items would change the outcome if they were to fight.
The case is different for low-level players though. A level 1 player only has 5 as default stat points for each stat. That meant that their STR and AGI were at 5 by default.
Now imagine a level 2 player that put all of his points to STR, that would mean that the player now has 15 STR which is 300% more than the level 1's.
"It's alright. So how do you think I should level up for now?" Bob asked. He was not bothered by another loss.
"You should get some tutorial quests first, they give a good amount of experience and you could level up to 3 by the quests alone."
Chikinsupu explained about tutorial quests to Bob. And he got to thinking, about which NPCs within Bagel Village.
'Now that I think about it. This guy is way too similar to Bob the Barn Owner. Is this guy an NPC?'
Chikinsupu grew suspicious of Bob. He was certain that Bob was a player because he was autonomous and roamed around.
'His stupidity is questionnable too.'
Now, Chikinsupu could not tell whether or not Bob was a player or not. So he decided to confirm it and that is by-
"Hey, Bob! How about we party up?"
Inviting Bob to a party. It should not be possible to invite NPCs to your party. In cases that they join your party is when you are doing a quest that nobody wants. Escort quests.
"Party? Okay!" Bob replied with glee. He thought that they will attend a celebration. Common mistake.
*Chikinsupu invites you to a party.
*You have accepted the party invitation.
*Party has been created with Chikinsupu as the party leader.
'Oh? He's a player then?'
Chikinsupu cleared his suspicions. Bob was a player, not an NPC. But what he didn't know was that the two were not exclusive of each other.
"Is this it?" Bob disappointingly asked.
"Hmm? Yea, now we can share experience point when we kill monsters. But for now, you should do the beginner quests."
Chikinsupu busied himself with his menu.
*Chikinsupu sent you a friend request.
"Hmm? Friend request?" Bob said.
"Just accept it. I'm here to help you understand games, old man."
*You are now friends with Chikinsupu.
"Oh. We're friends now?"
"Yes. To tell you the truth, I have to go so I'll have to teach you next time." Chikinsupu explained.
"Oh? Where are you going?"
"I have afternoon classes so I'll see you later when I'm done with them. Just do the tutorials for now, and whatever you do, don't die while exploring by yourself."
Bob thought about Chikinsupu's statement. He remembered a prompt that he saw a while back.
"Oh. I won't die." He confidently said.
"Of course you won't. Just be careful, exploding hamsters are just beyond the outskirts so stay here until I log in, You got that?"
Bob nodded his head but he didn't take Chikinsupu's words seriously. Likewise, Chikinsupu also didn't take Bob's confidence about not dying seriously.
*Your friend Chikinsupu has logged off. (Connection Terminated.)
"Woah. He just disappeared!"
Bob was surprised that his friend suddenly vanished. He saw this phenomenon frequently but he never understood what that meant.
"Let's see. He said to go beyond the outskirts, right?"
And so, Bob the airhead did not follow his friend's advice. He avoided all of the Horned Rabbits that he saw and made his way towards beyond the outskirts.
Bang!
Bob could now hear explosions. The explosions were not of an exorbitant magnitude but they were loud enough to ring for dozens of meters.
"Wow. Are those the Exploding Hamsters Chikinsupu was talking about?"
Bang!
An explosion went off under Bob's feet. Bob was blown away and took a lot of damage from the explosion.
*Your HP value has reached 0.
*You are an Essential. You can't die.
*Your HP is set back to Minimum.
*You have gained a huge amount of experience from exterminating a monster 4 levels above your own.
*You have leveled up.
"Wowowowowowow" Bob was still rolling due to the force of the explosion.
Exploding hamsters are monsters that kill themselves upon contact with a player. They were intentionally put within a low-level area to force coordination between players.
Immersion Online, in essence, is a game for socializing. The developers thought that giving an early challenge would force players to properly party with each other and get through the perilous plains to reach the nearest city.
The hamsters were a good source of experience for new players but the huge amount of damage they cause exhausts a party's resources. Therefore, the hamsters were not a monster to continuously grind.
One reason is that there was a risk of dying, and dying causes the death penalty. Another reason is that when players are strong enough to withstand the explosions, they became high leveled enough that the exp was worth nothing.
Therefore, the hamsters were never farmed by anyone.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
*You have leveled up!
*You have leveled up!
*You have leveled up!
Until now.
