Andre's Pet Shop Adventure

In a Gothic building in Vienna's new town, Andre woke up from his sleep.

"Brother, it's time to get up." Isabella's crisp voice rang in the room.

Andre opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was a ghost face with blood flowing from all seven orifices. The corners of his mouth were grinning, revealing a twisted smile, and his teeth were white, as if he was a demon from hell.

"OMG!!" Andre screamed in horror, trembling and slapping with his backhand, but his palm went straight through the ghost face and slapped on the soft pillow, and it was empty. The ghost face grinned slightly, revealing a scarlet tongue, as if laughing at his futility.

Andre was terrified and turned around to escape, but in a panic, his palm was empty and he fell directly under the bed, face to the ground. A sharp pain came over him, and he felt that his nose was almost broken, and it was burning. However, when he thought of the scary female ghost on the bed, he felt cold all over.

"Um, puff..." It seemed that someone was trying to hold back a laugh, but couldn't help it after all, and a burst of laughter suddenly came from the side.

Andre was frightened and trembled, thinking in his heart: "The ghost is laughing?!"

"Hahaha... Andre, do you want to make me laugh to death? You are so scared, you are too cowardly!" The laughter came from one side of the room.

Andre turned his head in astonishment and saw a pretty girl standing at the end of the bed. Isabella was wearing orange cartoon pajamas, with bright eyes and white teeth. She was a little beauty, but at this moment she was laughing so hard that she had no image at all.

"What's going on?" Andre was a little confused. At this time, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding environment was very different from what he remembered. The most obvious thing was that there was a huge monster poster on the wall behind Isabella, which should be a promotional poster for a movie. Obviously, this was not his room. Andre never had the habit of putting pictures in the room.

"Where's the ghost?" Andre was startled when he thought of the scary ghost. He turned his head and looked at the bed, but found that the bed was empty. The ghost was gone!

"Left?" Andre was stunned. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the quilt. It was a black cat. It was not so much "jumping" out as rolling out. Its body was so fat that it was almost a ball.

"Snowball, come here." Isabella called to the black cat. Upon hearing this, the black cat flapped its short limbs vigorously and finally turned its body upside down. It shook its body a few times, glanced at Andre who was frightened on the ground, and walked slowly towards Isabella with an elegant cat step. Andre actually felt that he was despised by a cat.

At this time, Andre suddenly noticed that the black cat had two sharp black horns on its head, and there were a few strands of dark red hair in the lines of the hair on its forehead, like a flame circuit. A… "?" slowly appeared above his head.

Buzz! Suddenly, it was as if the space and time were shaking. Andre's eyes were blurred, and he felt that countless information was pouring into his mind, rushing in from all directions like a torrent. Andre? Isabella? Star Pet? Another world? The information that came in was mixed and huge, and Andre felt that his head was about to burst. The pain was unbearable. He gritted his teeth and barely held back without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, the chaotic storm in his mind slowly subsided, and a piece of memory gradually emerged in an orderly manner along the timeline.

"I actually traveled through time..." Andre was a little surprised. No wonder he appeared in this strange room and met this strange girl and this strange cat. "But I just stayed at home and slept. How can I wear this?! Is it caused by the hand exercise before going to bed?" Andre smiled bitterly in his heart and began to sort out the memories in his mind.

"This is a world similar to Earth, with more advanced technology. It has already stepped out of Earth and entered the interstellar era. However, the development of technology is not the main focus here, but the special star pets! There are many kinds of star pets, which are closely connected with human society. There are tool pets responsible for infrastructure, transportation, daily life, and even scientific research! Interstellar development and war are the responsibility of war pets. Even the wars and status of major countries are determined by the strength of war pets!" Andre gradually immersed himself in these memories. The more he understood, the more shocked he was. He also knew what the female ghost he had seen before was. "Demon-type war pet, Illusion Flame Beast, its main ability is to create illusions and control fire elements..." This Illusion Flame Beast is the strange cat, a fierce demon-type war pet, and a star pet in the dual fields of spirit and elements. It is a 'rare' species and extremely expensive! And such a rare star pet was actually used by "his" sister Isabella to scare him every day...

After reading the memory of the original owner, Andre was a little amused. The brother and sister were really a pair of enemies. They disliked each other since childhood. When Andre was a child, he always liked to play pranks, bully and scare his sister. Unexpectedly, when he grew up, it was the other way around, and it was his turn to be worried all day long.

This change happened because they went to different schools when they were twelve years old. One is an ordinary professional school, and the other is a star pet war master academy! In this world dominated by star pets, not everyone can become a star pet war master. Only those with prokaryotic talents can sign a contract with star pets! Obviously, this "Andre" does not have such a talent, and this talent is determined by everyone at birth, that is, he is destined to be an ordinary person from birth. However, when the brother and sister were children, they did not have this concept, so Isabella, who had the star pet talent, was always bullied by Andre, who had no talent. When they realized their differences, Andre's disaster began. This sister was not an easy character to mess with. She remembered every bit of bullying she had when she was a child, and she had doubled it back from Andre over the years.

Today, the brother and sister have completely opened up the gap. One is a genius girl who was admitted to a prestigious school with a bright future, while the other could not even get into an ordinary university and had to drop out of school early to help her family run the business.

"Hey, why are you standing there like an idiot? Did you really fall and become stupid?" Isabella saw Andre sitting on the ground in a daze and felt a little abnormal. Thinking of his previous fall, he landed on his head first, and she couldn't help but frowned. She was not worried about Andre's safety, but she was afraid that her parents would blame her.

"Hmm?" Andre had come back to his senses. He looked at the proud girl with her arms crossed and her head held high. He said helplessly, "Don't make such jokes in the future." Now that his body has been taken over by him, he doesn't want to continue living in the pranks and revenges of this sister.

Isabella was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. In the past, wouldn't the other party jump up and accuse him like a shrew and curse him? Why is it so quiet today? Could it be... Does he think that he can soften his heart by swallowing his anger? Humph!

"It's okay if you're not stupid, but your pitiful IQ may become smarter after a brain injury!" Isabella snorted and sneered, turned around and left, "Don't dawdle, come down to eat quickly, don't let mom call me up to urge you again!" Bang! He closed the door with his backhand.

Andre smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, "Aren't other people's sisters all well-behaved, cute and soft girls? Why do I have a tendency to be a violent girl here?"

Swish! The door suddenly opened again. Andre was startled. It turned out that Isabella had returned. Her gloomy face said behind the door: "Also, you are not allowed to complain to mom, otherwise..." She made a gesture of wiping her neck. Bang! Without waiting for Andre's response, the poor door suffered another critical hit.

"..." After sitting for a while, Andre got up from the ground until there was no more movement outside. He looked around the room and saw many Star Pet figures and posters. Although his predecessor was an ordinary person, his research on Star Pets was no less than that of ordinary Star Pet warriors. Of course, this was not because he loved Star Pets so much. On the contrary, this guy hated Star Pets very much. The reason why he studied was just to find a way to defeat Star Pets with ordinary people's means! To be precise, it was to find a way to defeat his sister's Star Pet! However, after many years, he was still abused and despised every day, unable to fight back, which showed that this research was difficult.

Looking back at the 18 years of his life, Andre felt a little emotional. This guy had accomplished nothing, and he had offended the only person around him. He had been naughty since he was a child, and had made his sister suffer terribly, either throwing caterpillars in the lunch box or pretending to be a ghost and scare her in the middle of the night. It was almost a childhood shadow for her. Now, the big brother has become an enemy, and this sister is not a good person, and has become his adult shadow. Andre estimated that he had to find an opportunity to reconcile with this big sister, otherwise, if he was frightened a few more times, even if he didn't have a psychological shadow, he would have neurasthenia.

After a simple tidying up, Andre put on his slippers and went downstairs.

"Why did you come down just now? The porridge is getting cold. Come and eat." His mother, Ms. Elizabeth, said. She looked to be in her forties, gentle and quiet.

At the dining table, Isabella was already sitting there eating, and she also placed the phantom flame beast named "Snowball" on the chair next to her, which was Andre's. The corners of Andre's mouth twitched slightly. He could feel full of malice even when eating breakfast...

"I'm here." Andre went to the living room and moved another chair to sit down. Looking at the rich white porridge, meat pie and soy milk on the table, he felt really hungry.

Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Andre. She deliberately used snowballs to take a place to irritate Andre, let Andre take the initiative to get angry, then yell, and let her mother criticize him. Unexpectedly, this guy actually endured it? Strange. Isabella's eyes suddenly became a little alert. This guy was out of character. Could he be secretly doing something?

"Mom, I'm done. I'm going to the college first." The plan failed, and Isabella was not in the mood to dawdle slowly. After eating a few bites, she said to her mother.

Ms. Elizabeth saw that she was about to leave and said, "Xiaoyue, wait."

"Ah?" Isabella turned her head.

"Your brother's store has been doing poorly lately, and not many people are visiting. How about you put your snowball in the store to make it look more attractive?" Ms. Elizabeth asked tentatively. Isabella was stunned for a moment, glanced at Andre who was eating porridge, and rolled her eyes immediately, and said unhappily: "Mom, since you handed this shop over to this guy, the business has been getting worse day by day. What's the reason? Isn't it because this guy is not doing his job all day long? Do you remember that he was almost complained to the Star Pet Association last time? People came to foster a "message bird" properly, but he raised it for less than a week. When he took it back, the bird kept calling "stupid" to everyone he met, and was full of swear words. As a result, it was beaten to death within a few days. The unsolved case has not been solved yet! For someone who can't even raise a message bird, you dare to give him my snowball to raise? This is a high-level star pet that is expected to be promoted to the eighth level. If you are willing to give it up, I have no objection, anyway, the snowball is bought by you."

Ms. Elizabeth opened her mouth, but was speechless, and could only sigh. If she was not in poor health and needed to rest, she would not let Andre take over the business of the store so early.

Andre saw Isabella's unfriendly glance and was speechless. He continued to eat porridge with his head down and ignored her.

"Humph!" Isabella saw that he was tactful, snorted coldly, picked up Snowball who was still gnawing on the bones, went back to the room to change clothes and went out.

A moment later, Andre also finished his breakfast. As usual, under the instructions of Ms. Elizabeth, he rode his bicycle to the store.

The store is a star pet store. Andre is a half-baked star pet breeder. He is called a breeder, but in fact, he is the kind who serves star pets. After all, a real breeding master can change the potential and class of star pets, and his status is not much inferior to that of a star pet warrior, or even higher!

Along the way, Andre saw high-rise buildings like those on Earth, but the only difference was that most of the pedestrians on the roadside were followed by some strange-looking star pets. "It's really another world..." Andre sighed a little, everything was like a dream, but it was real.

Soon, he came to his own star pet store. The store is located at the end of a commercial street, which is a relatively remote location, but it used to be quite popular here, because Andre's mother, Ms. Elizabeth, is a regular star pet breeder in the Federation. Although she is only a junior breeder, it is more than enough to open such a small pet store, so there are many repeat customers. But since the store fell into Andre's hands, the situation immediately plummeted. Can you still expect someone who hates star pets to take good care of star pets?

Crash~! Andre pulled up the shutter door, and the sun shone into the store, and dust could be seen flying in the air. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time. There was a smell of urine and pet feces in the store, which was a bit pungent. Andre held his breath slightly and frowned.

"Within the target range, suitable souls were detected, and contract detection was carried out..." "Contract completed, system binding in progress..." "Complete binding... Ready to start..." Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice sounded in Andre's mind.

Andre was stunned, and his eyes suddenly glowed. "Is it coming or not..."
