In the afternoon, the five people that PET had arranged to come over arrived.
After presenting their identification and verifying their information, the five people walked into the house expectantly.
However, they were stopped by Zuo Yu and Yan Biao as soon as they entered the house.
"Excuse me, but can you open your suitcases and take a look?" Zuo Yu had a formal smile on his face as he watched the five people walk in.
Yan Biao also had a solemn expression. They could finally play the role of bodyguards. When strangers came to the boss's house, it was indeed necessary to check their suitcases. Most people with status and reputation did this.
They had originally thought that these five people would express their dissatisfaction, but unexpectedly, the person walking in front handed the suitcase to them without any hesitation. "The password is 666!"
After saying that, he quickly entered the house and did not even spare Zuo Yu and Yan Biao a glance. His gaze was like a radar as he searched. "Where is little darling ~ ~ ~"
He looked as if he was eager to see his precious darling and dragged out his words.
Zuo Yu and Yan Biao felt a chill and got goosebumps. Especially that "ah" at the end of the sentence, which made Yan Biao want to beat someone up.
If anyone in the outpost team had dared to say such things, he would have greeted them with a fist. However, this was not the army, so he had to get used to it.
The corners of Yan Biao's mouth twitched as he cursed in his heart. He checked the equipment the other party had brought along to see if they had smuggled any hidden cameras or the like. However, he also paid some attention to the five people walking into the house. They had to be cautious at all times and maintain a sense of danger. It was their duty as bodyguards to guard against people other than the boss.
Although the four people behind were a step slower, they also took the initiative to put down their suitcases and open them. They had encountered this kind of situation too many times. It was all too normal.
The few of them looked curiously at Curly Hair, who had just run out of the study.
"This is that golden competition dog? Indeed extraordinary! "
"Look at this fur! Look at those lively eyes, they're so beautiful! "Another person also clicked his tongue and praised.
Zuo Yu and Yan Biao, who were checking the other party's suitcases, were puzzled. They had been by Fang Zhao's side for so long and had seen Curly Hair for so long. Although he had the halo of "golden competition dog," it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right? These people were flattering him to his face, but they couldn't just brag!
However, Curly Hair wasn't friendly towards these strangers. He bared his teeth and growled when he was within three steps of them. This was a warning.
This wasn't the first time these people had come into contact with dogs. They could tell what a dog was thinking from its various behaviors. They stopped three steps away from Curly Hair and observed.
Seeing Fang Zhao come out, the youth in the lead immediately put on a warm and friendly smile. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fang. I am Wa Kaning, the one responsible for bringing the team over to establish the records of your two pets. You can also call me Wa Wa. This is my partner, Muto. And these few..."
Wa Kaning introduced his partner, veterinarian, and cameraman to Fang Zhao. After exchanging pleasantries, he did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point. To them, there was nothing more attractive than a pet, even if the one standing in front of them was a hot topic on the internet.
"Can we start the file now?" Wa Kaning asked.
Fang Zhao did not know that Wa Kaning's evaluation of him was "fresh meat." Hearing Wa Kaning's question, he nodded and said, "Sure."
"Can we examine it closer?" What Wa Kaning meant was that they needed to come into contact with the body of the pet and hoped that Fang Zhao, the owner, would cooperate.
Fang Zhao glanced at Curly Hair, who was squatting there, and said, "It's fine. He doesn't bite now."
Not biting now did not mean that he wouldn't bite at any time.
Wa Kaning and the others were all veterans and could tell this. Furthermore, whether a dog would bite or not, they could use their eyes and experience to judge.
However, seeing Curly Hair standing there obediently and cooperating with the examination, Wa Kaning and the others could not be bothered with anything else. Their eyes glowed as they stared at Curly Hair, picked up their toolbox, and put on a thin layer of gloves.
Muto had already turned on the electronic tablet and started recording the information.
"Name, Curly Hair?" Wa Kaning looked at Fang Zhao. "Confirmed?"
Seeing Fang Zhao nod, Muto noted it down on the form.
In their hearts, Wa Kaning and the others did not approve of this ordinary name. However, the one who decided on the pet's name was still the owner. Even if they had objections, they could only keep it to themselves.
"Build, small." Wa Kaning looked at Curly Hair seriously as he reported the information that needed to be recorded.
Curly Hair's back height was just over 40 centimeters. In the Old Era, he could barely be considered a medium-sized dog. However, in the New Era, where the average height of dogs was over 80 centimeters, he could only be considered a small dog. This was also why people in Muzhou had not thought that Curly Hair was a shepherd dog when they first saw him. In Muzhou, adult shepherd dogs had not been this small!
One of the reasons many people in Muzhou felt ashamed was that Muzhou had so many shepherd dogs, but they had actually been trampled by this tiny little thing!
Wa Kaning continued to report some information that Fang Zhao had already told them. "Gender, male; date of birth, unknown; breed, unknown; age, 3 to 5 years old; working dog..."
After all, Curly Hair was a stray dog that had been picked up from the black streets, so a lot of the information was not detailed. Although the age was not detailed, they could roughly estimate it based on the physical examination data from Muzhou. It could not be more than five years old. In the New Era, not only did humans age longer, dogs were the same. Therefore, a five-year-old dog could not be considered middle-aged. It was still young.
"Hobby?" Wa Kaning asked Fang Zhao.
"Games," Fang Zhao replied.
Wa Kaning looked at a toy dog ball in the corner of the room and understood. This was indeed a dog that loved sports. Even though it could not herd sheep on the pasture, it could still interact with its owner every day, playing games like catching a Frisbee or catching a ball.
"Fur color..." Wa Kaning carefully reached out and stroked the fur on Curly Hair's back, observing Curly Hair's emotional reaction.
"Fur color? It's gray, and it's not even gray, "Yan Biao said. In his heart, he thought, The fur color is not pure, and I can't see any regular patterns. It feels a little messy. However, his choice of words just now was considered refined, right?
However, the five people from PET looked at Yan Biao as if they were looking at a country bumpkin and continued to record information.
"Gray gradation. The bottom layer of fur is gray to silver gray. Back, ears, tail, and the tips of the coat are dark gray..."
Wa Kaning reported the information that needed to be recorded. Muto recorded everything on a spreadsheet, from the top of the nose to the tip of the tail to the bottom of the paws.
Curly Hair was very cooperative. When he was told to stand up, he would stand up and lie down.
During this process, Wa Kaning evaluated in his heart: Still considered docile.
After a series of simple checks and records, Wa Kaning said, "Let's test his bite strength."
Before they had set off from the headquarters, they had sent Fang Zhao a spreadsheet with many information input and inspection options listed on it. Fang Zhao would choose those that were willing to be inspected so that they could bring their own equipment. Right now, they were just following the few options that Fang Zhao had agreed on.
"The veterinarian has already checked his teeth, but the bite strength test can reflect the condition of his chewing system. Let's see his oral health," Wa Kaning said as he took out a pressure tester from a box.
It was a small stick that looked like a dog toy. At one end of the stick was a bone-shaped tester that carried a scent that made dogs excited.
Actually, with current technology, one did not need to directly touch the teeth to roughly measure the theoretical condition of the bite strength. However, the people from PET liked to use a more primitive method of testing — baiting them into biting and then using the tester's force measuring sensor to record the data.
When Wa Kaning and the others were not paying attention, Fang Zhao raised his hand and gestured for Curly Hair to restrain himself a little.
The tester's scent indeed made Curly Hair excited, and he bit down.
"601 kilograms!" Wa Kaning exclaimed when he saw the data.
The others were also astonished.
A small pet dog with a bite strength of 601 kilograms?
A human's bite strength was only a few dozen kilograms. Pet dogs from the Old Era could at most have a bite strength of over 100 kilograms. During the Period of Destruction, because of the mutation of dog breeds and the changes in the living environment, survival had become more brutal. There were dogs with a bite strength of 500 to 600 kilograms, and there were quite a few of them. There were also dogs with even higher data.
But now, 500 years had passed since the Period of Destruction. Even if the genes had continued, the living environment had become more peaceful and comfortable. Food had also changed, and after 500 years, the average bite strength had dropped to 200 to 300 kilograms. Other than some special dogs used for work, it was really rare to encounter a dog with a bite strength of 600 kilograms.
And since the founding of PET, this was the first small domestic dog to reach this value!
"Could it be... a mistake in the test?" Muto asked.
"Wait a moment. Let me calibrate it and we will test it again." Wa Kaning had a doubtful expression. He remembered that he had calibrated the tester before he had come. There had been no problems with the tester. How could it have measured such a value?
After calibrating, Wa Kaning smiled at Curly Hair and said, "Come, darling, let's test it again."
Yan Biao, who was standing at the side, thought to himself, Didn't you call him "little darling" when we first entered the room? Where's "little"?
The tester had just reached Curly Hair's mouth when Curly Hair bit down. And at the moment he bit down, there seemed to be an ominous glint in his eyes.
Crack!
The tester let out a crisp sound. It did not break, but it showed that it could not record any data. In other words, this tester had been bitten and broken.
Gasps could be heard in the room.
Wa Kaning and the other four were clear about the quality of their company's tester. Even if they had only brought a low-grade tester for bite strength, it did not mean that the quality was poor. How much strength did it take to break the tester?
Or perhaps the tester was already broken?
But was that possible?
Saying that there was a problem with their PET tester was simply like doubting the quality of Fiery Bird's game consoles!
Muto froze there, not knowing how to record it. Disregarding whether the teeth and muscles could withstand this sort of bite strength to break the tester, this kind of bite strength was enough to make one tremble in fear!
Wa Kaning wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had been very close. When Curly Hair had bitten the tester, he had felt a chill all over his body and could not help but swallow his saliva. He had suddenly felt as if he had been too close to the dog.
Meanwhile, the vet who had just checked Curly Hair's teeth felt goosebumps all over his arms. His back felt cold, and his fingers twitched uncomfortably. When he had been checking Curly Hair's teeth, his fingers had even touched Curly Hair's teeth.
Although the tester had broken the second time, in that brief moment, he had seen the data shoot past 1,000. However, before the data had stabilized, the tester had broken. With this kind of bite strength, if Curly Hair had bitten down viciously, it would have been child's play for those harmless shepherd dogs in Muzhou to kill seven or eight large dogs.
When he thought about how Curly Hair had participated in two sheep-herding competitions in Muzhou, he broke out in cold sweat for those Muzhou sheep and dogs. He had never heard of any bloody incidents over there, but had this dog really not bitten anything before? Not to mention sheep and dogs, even on a larger scale, biting a human to death would be a piece of cake. A human's bones would break with a single bite. Luckily, Curly Hair was small. If he had been a little bigger, it would have been even more dangerous!
"Then do we still want to test him? I still have a spare tester in my box, but it's an old model and not meant for dogs. It might not be accurate, "a vet said. A tester not meant for dogs wouldn't be able to measure the data. Without the scent to guide it, they would not know if the dog had bitten down hard.
"He seems a little impatient," Wa Kaning said. He realized that Curly Hair really didn't like the tester and was a little moody. Could it be that he didn't like the smell on it? The person who had made the tester had even said that all dogs liked it. Indeed, it was all a scam!
Yan Biao and Zuo Yu exchanged glances and were secretly delighted. Great, now he doesn't even say "obedient" anymore. Was he scared?
Not just Wa Kaning and the others, even Yan Biao and Zuo Yu had been shocked today. They had never known that Curly Hair could bite so well.
As for whether to continue testing, the decision was up to the owner, Fang Zhao. Wa Kaning and the others also looked at Fang Zhao.
The room fell silent.
Fang Zhao broke the silence. "Record the results of the first test. The data will not be displayed to the public."
"All right," Wa Kaning said.
Their goal was not to obtain accurate data. As long as the first test data was real and the equipment had no quality problems, that was all. They would not delve too deeply into the reasons behind it. Ever since PET had been founded, they had come across all sorts of strange and astonishing pets. Thus, even though they were shocked by Curly Hair's biting strength, after some thought, they felt that it was nothing much.
If he wasn't a little special, how could he stir up trouble in Muzhou and force the other side to change their rules? How could he be worthy of the title "Golden Competition Dog"?
Exceeding the average was a given.
Wa Kaning took a deep breath and gestured to Muto.
