Su Ping looked up. It was an old man in a Tang suit. Following him was a bird that was half the height of a human.
The bird was covered in red feathers, like an ostrich. Its little head was hanging down and it seemed to be in low spirits.
Su Ping's heart skipped a beat when he saw the bird.
"Sir, do you have any special pet food for birds, the kind that smells good?" Fan Shangde asked after seeing the young Su Ping behind the counter.
"Pet food that smells good?" Su Ping was surprised. Seeing how depressed the bird was, he asked, "It doesn't like to eat recently?"
Fan Shangde nodded. "Since a few days ago, it suddenly stopped eating. I don't know why. I sent it to the doctors but they couldn't find anything."
Su Ping nodded. He turned around and took out a bottle of "Scarlet Stone Fruits" from the counter behind him. "I think it will like this."
"Oh?" Fan Shangde took a look at the Scarlet Stone Fruit, seeing how confident Su Ping was. "What kind of pet food is this? I don't think I've ever heard of it."
Su Ping didn't know how to explain. After all, he didn't know if the cultivation plane that the system had sent him to was one that existed in the past or still existed today. Maybe the fruit was from the ancient times.
Either way, he trusted the system's judgment.
"You can give it a taste," Su Ping said.
Fan Shangde had done a lot of research on pet food but he didn't recognize what it was. But then again, since Su Ping was a regular pet store, he didn't think he would sell food that would spoil birds. Fan Shangde unscrewed the cap and poured out two fruits.
The moment he unscrewed the bottle cap, the originally dejected Firebird's head suddenly twitched. It immediately raised its head, and its originally dejected and lazy eyes suddenly glowed as it stared intently at the two Scarlet Rock Fruits in Fan Shangde's hands.
"What?" Fan Shangde was surprised by the pet's reaction. Instantly, he felt more confident. He lowered his hand and delivered the two fruits to the bird's mouth.
The firebird's head quickly pecked at the two fruits. As soon as it ate, it let out a cheerful cry, its short wings flapping in joy. Its gaze then turned to the whole bottle of fruits on the counter, glowing with a blazing light.
Fan Shangde was stunned and a little surprised. This little guy had already lost his appetite for a few days, but now he was eating so excitedly. Was it not enough?
Since it was working, Fan Shangde didn't think too much about it. He asked Su Ping at once, "Sir, what kind of pet food is this? Give me some bottles."
Su Ping looked at the Firebird's drooling appearance, as if it was about to pounce on him. He calmly grabbed the bottle and moved it back to him. He said, "This is Scarlet Rock Fruit, the favorite food of the Vermilion Bird. This is the only bottle in the store. One fruit costs 130 yuan. There are 34 fruits in here. Do you want all of them?"
"Oh, 130 for one bottle …" Fan Shangde thought about it and felt that the price was reasonable. The next moment, he was stunned. "One pill?"
Su Ping nodded. "One!"
Fan Shangde looked into Su Ping's eyes. When he saw the seriousness and calmness in Su Ping's eyes, Fan Shangde was sure that he had not misheard.
At the same time, Fan Shangde noticed the other products behind Su Ping's counter from the corner of his eye. He was surprised when he saw the price tag. He didn't know that his food was not the only expensive one. There were more expensive ones!
So, it seemed that Su Ping hadn't raised the price at the last minute to rip him off.
Fan Shangde soon calmed down and asked with curiosity, "Is there anything special about your pet food?"
Su Ping was surprised to see how calm Fan Shangde was. He answered honestly, "The effects of the pet food are different. But most of them can help the pet's strength to a certain extent. Some of them have other benefits. They are not ordinary pet food. They are definitely worth the price."
"Help the pet's strength?" Fan Shangde was intrigued. He pointed to the most expensive item, the "Colorful Buddha Leaf," and asked, "This is priced at 20,000 yuan. What can it do?"
"This can improve the pet's power of understanding," Su Ping answered.
"Power of understanding?" Fan Shangde was surprised. His eyes flickered. Soon, he looked away and said to Su Ping, "Give me ten of these Scarlet Stone Fruits first. I'll come back when I'm done eating."
Su Ping was surprised. Fan Shangde had placed an order?
So … Fan Shangde had made money?
Su Ping seemed to have seen the energy points waving at him. But on the surface, he remained calm. He did some quick calculations and said, "The price of ten Scarlet Stone Fruits is 1300 yuan. Your Vermilion Bird has just eaten two so the price is 260 yuan. That's 1560 yuan in total."
Fan Shangde nodded. He transferred the money to Su Ping and asked, "How long can the Vermilion Bird eat these ten Scarlet Stone Fruits?"
Su Ping thought about it and answered, "If you want it to eat until it's full … it might not even be enough for one meal. But if you want to be frugal, you can mix the Scarlet Stone Fruits with other pet food. That way, you can feed the Vermilion Bird for ten meals."
"Well …" Fan Shangde didn't think the Scarlet Stone Fruits were expensive. But after hearing what Su Ping said, he suddenly felt the pinch.
He wasn't short of money, but 1500 yuan for one meal …
"Thank you, sir." After some small talk, Fan Shangde turned around and left the pet store. Before he left, he looked back at the store's sign — Pixie Pet Store.
"…"
After the customer left, Su Ping checked his account at once. Indeed, 1560 yuan had been transferred to his account!
After conversion, this was 15.6 points of energy!
The pet breeding mission he accepted only required 10 energy points to hatch a pet. That was to say, he was able to complete the mission!
It's a good thing that the cultivation plane I chose this time isn't too desolate. If I had chosen a desolate world without any pets or plants, that would have been the beginning of a bloodbath … Su Ping thought to himself.
…
…
Azure Bay Garden.
It was an ordinary-looking residential area. The buildings inside were rather old and seemed to have been there for a long time.
Fan Shangde crossed his hands behind his back. He was in a good mood. He led the Vermilion Bird back to the residential area. Along the way, he ran into some old acquaintances who were strolling in the park with their pets or wives.
"Hey, De, are you walking that silly bird again?"
"You're walking your wife, too …"
"Bah, you're the one walking your wife!"
"De, you're still so frivolous. Let's go …"
The old couple left quickly.
After bantering with his old acquaintances, Fan Shangde smiled and led the Vermilion Bird back to his building. He took out his key and opened the door.
He went to the elevator and took it to the sixth floor.
He lived in room 601.
As soon as he opened the door, Fan Shangde saw that someone had been in his room. The most obvious evidence was that the stinky socks he had left by the door were gone!
A thief?
Fan Shangde didn't panic. Instead, he was calm. He changed his shoes at the entrance and went to the living room. He saw two people sitting in the living room and he smelled the aroma of cooking from the kitchen.
"Grandpa, you're back." The two young people on the couch stood up at once.
One of them was a lively girl. Her eyes glowed as soon as she saw Fan Shangde. She ran over happily. "Grandpa, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
Fan Shangde smiled and patted the girl's head. "How come you're so free today?"
"I miss you, grandpa," the girl said in a spoiled manner.
"Hey, you're such a sweet talker." Fan Shangde tapped her nose.
