Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The wonderful situation and contract problems of the second-level spiritual pool
In Andre's store, Skull and Dukes woke up slowly and saw that their "territory" was occupied by other pets. They were confused and looked funny.
Andre looked up at Dukes. Dukes was a pet that someone else had fostered here before. Tomorrow is the expiration date, and its owner will come to take it away.
The fee paid by the other party before was just the ordinary foster fee. Now in this situation, they can only give up their position helplessly.
"All pets of customers served in this store must stay in the foster position and cannot be idle. Please buy another foster position immediately to accommodate Dukes." The serious voice of the system suddenly sounded in Andre's mind, with an unquestionable tone.
Andre couldn't help but look stunned, and hurriedly said: "But the other party came to foster before, it's just ordinary foster."
"As the owner of a pet store, how can you not have the slightest love for pets?" The system responded, with a reproachful tone in the words.
"... Since you are so loving, why don't you give me a few foster places for free?" Andre couldn't help but mutter and refute.
"... Pay attention, a warning for inappropriate words!" The system issued a warning without mercy.
"When did I say inappropriate words, I¥..." Andre was anxious and angry, and was about to argue.
"Pay attention, a second warning for inappropriate words!" The system warned again seriously, interrupting Andre's words.
"...!" Andre woke up instantly, realizing that there was no benefit in arguing like this, and forced himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, thinking to himself, it's nothing, it's nothing more than a matter of consuming 10 energy points. With the energy he has stored now, it is not unaffordable. Besides, Dukes will be taken away by his owner tomorrow, and it will not take up much time. When he takes on new business in the future, he will have to buy another foster care place sooner or later.
"Today's 1 point of energy maintenance fee, just treat it as my own pocket." Andre thought to himself helplessly, and was speechless for a while. Dukes's foster care business only made about 100 euros. Now it seems like he is taking care of other people's pets for free, which is really not cost-effective.
Fortunately, Andre comforted himself in his heart that this situation should not happen again in the future.
After Andre chose to buy a foster care place, soon, a foster care place appeared out of thin air in the open space again, which was really amazing.
"Go." Andre greeted Dukes who was sticking out his tongue softly. Dukes seemed to know what was going on and got into the foster care place obediently.
Skull looked on, full of doubts, and his empty eye sockets seemed to be puzzled, as if silently asking something.
Seeing this, Andre slowly squatted down and gently touched Skull's head, who was standing aside. Unexpectedly, he accidentally used a little force and broke Skull's head off. Andre was immediately ashamed, and said in his heart that it was bad. He hurriedly and carefully helped its little head back, feeling full of guilt.
Seeing that the bones were reconnected, Andre was slightly relieved. Skull was his own pet, but he didn't have to stay in the foster position. The system had never made such a requirement.
"If there is extra energy later, I will buy you another foster position. I will never let you suffer any grievances." Andre said to Skull in a gentle voice, and the tone was like comforting a child, full of pampering.
Skull seemed to understand Andre's words, and nodded blankly, looking very cute.
Seeing this, Andre couldn't help but smile slightly, and then turned and walked towards the lounge. After entering the lounge, he checked his remaining energy. Today, the store earned more than 300 euros. With the previous accumulation, he now has a total of more than 400 energy, which is quite rich.
"Upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool." Andre silently said in his heart.
In an instant, the energy above was deducted by 100.
At the same time, the Chaos Spirit Pool in front of Andre, which was originally like a dry well, suddenly burst into a brilliant light at the edge of the dim and lightless edge. The light was dazzling. After the light gradually dissipated, some strange lines appeared on the edge of the spirit pool. Those lines were winding and tortuous, as if they were some kind of ancient and mysterious runes, revealing a mysterious atmosphere.
"It's upgraded to level 2." Andre's eyes were full of joy. He knew that this level 2 spirit pool had extraordinary abilities. It could guide one ten-millionth of the chaotic energy, and it could breed a high-level pet! You know, every high-level pet is very expensive on the market. The lowest price can be sold for hundreds of thousands of euros. Among them, the more outstanding ones can even be worth tens of millions of euros, or even over 100 million euros. They are simply priceless treasures! Although the pet store cannot sell pets at the moment, Andre has already made plans in his mind. He can breed a high-level pet himself and then rent it out. This will undoubtedly be a considerable source of income. When he thought of this, Andre was full of expectations. "Do you want to breed?" The system prompt sounded at the right time. "Yes." Andre responded without hesitation. He was looking forward to breeding an excellent high-level pet. "Creation cost, 100 energy, please confirm." The system then prompted.
"..." Andre really didn't expect that after the upgrade of the spirit pool, the cost of breeding would suddenly increase tenfold. In this way, the remaining energy he had was only enough for breeding three times.
Andre hesitated for a while. After all, this was a lot of energy consumption, but when he thought of the huge value brought by the high-level blood pet, he finally gritted his teeth and chose to confirm.
"Chaos Spirit Pool Start..."
I saw a faint light in the Chaos Spirit Pool that was like a dry well. The light gathered like stars and flickered slowly at the bottom of the spirit pool, as if it was breeding a mysterious life. The scene was quite magical and spectacular.
However, after a while, the spirit pool returned to its original state, and there was silence around it, as if nothing had happened.
"Frequency failed." These words suddenly appeared on the spirit pool. Andre was stunned when he saw this, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Failure? Andre thought to himself, could this breeding fail?
"The chaotic energy constructs life, and there is a low probability of structural errors, so it cannot form a life form." The system's emotionless voice sounded, as if explaining the reason for the failure.
Andre was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his heart ached. In this way, his 100 energy was lost in vain, which is equivalent to 10,000 euros. How can it not make people feel sad.
"Do you want to breed?" Such a prompt word appeared again on the spirit pool.
Andre slowly came to his senses, and his eyes were slightly red. After all, this is 100 energy, which is really not a small amount. It is accumulated with great effort.
"Try again!" Andre gritted his teeth and said fiercely in his heart. He was really unwilling to give up like this. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he could successfully breed a pet this time.
After Andre put in energy again, the Chaos Spirit Pool glowed again, and the light was more dazzling than before, shining brightly, as if it contained endless mysterious power.
When the light was about to disappear, Andre hurriedly opened his eyes and looked into the Spirit Pool intently.
I saw a huge milky white egg, quietly suspended above the Spirit Pool, the eggshell exuded a soft luster, revealing a mysterious and holy breath.
"!!" Seeing this, Andre was stunned and full of surprise. How could this egg be bred? His identification skills seemed to have lost their effect in front of this egg. He couldn't tell what kind of egg it was. This really made Andre a little at a loss.
"Please receive it." The system prompted.
Andre took the egg out carefully with a confused look on his face. He felt it was extremely warm in his hands, and the touch was quite strange. Somehow, Andre suddenly had a picture of fried eggs in his mind, and he felt a little hungry at the moment. He couldn't help but laugh secretly. His idea was really a bit absurd.
"What kind of egg is this, and how to hatch it?" Andre couldn't help asking the system, full of doubts, hoping that the system could give an answer.
"Please solve it yourself." The system seemed to have nothing to do with it, and directly passed the buck. This response really made Andre a little helpless.
Andre's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart that it was okay for him to identify pets, but he really had no experience in identifying eggs. Did he really have to pay for it himself and go to the pet identification institute to ask those experts to identify it?
Andre thought about it in his heart, and finally gave up the idea. After all, the cost of asking experts to identify it once is not cheap. He doesn't have so many euros in his hand now. It's better to go online to find information about various pet eggs. Maybe with good luck, he can discover the mystery of this egg himself?
Thinking of this, Andre gently carried the egg to the single bed next to him. This bed was originally used for resting when he was watching the store at noon. He placed the egg next to the pillow, and then carefully covered the egg with a quilt to keep it warm, hoping that it would help with hatching.
After doing this, Andre turned around and looked at the Chaos Spirit Pool. He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and gave up the idea of continuing to try to breed. After all, he only has more than 100 energy points left.
Next, he still has many places where he needs to consume energy, such as completing the main line cultivation task, opening the cultivation plane, and purchasing the number of deaths, etc. These are inseparable from energy, and he has to save some savings for himself.
Thinking of the cultivation task, Andre suddenly remembered that when he completed the task of restoring the store's reputation, the system had given him a chance to cultivate any plane and unlimited number of deaths.
"Great, I can just take this opportunity to do the main line task and cultivation task." Andre secretly rejoiced, feeling fortunate.
Then, Andre left the lounge. As soon as he came out, he saw the Lightning Rat hiding behind the counter. When the Lightning Rat saw Andre, it was so frightened that its hair stood up. Its hair stood up like steel needles, and it was also flashing with lightning. It looked at Andre with its teeth bared, and its eyes were full of hostility, as if Andre was a terrible enemy.
As if it felt the hostility of the Lightning Rat, suddenly, Skull, who was originally following Andre, stumbled and ran in front of Andre.
It clenched its fists tightly, and it looked like a brave and fearless fighter, posing a defensive posture. The dull eyes in its eye sockets became sharp at this moment, and the scarlet color in the black hole became more and more intense, revealing a sense of determination, as if it was demonstrating to the Lightning Rat that it would do its best to protect Andre.
Seeing this, Andre was stunned for a moment, and his heart was full of emotion. He didn't expect that Skull, who looked stupid and silly on weekdays, would stand up to protect himself at this moment. This really surprised him.
Andre clearly felt the tension, anxiety and fierce emotions coming from Skull's consciousness. For a moment, he was slightly stunned, and his mind was full of thoughts.
After a short silence, Andre slowly bent down, gently picked up Skull, and then walked towards the door and slowly pulled down the roller shutter.
In an instant, the light in the store became dim, and the whole store was shrouded in a quiet atmosphere.
Andre held Skull and returned to the counter, and then called out the cultivation interface, ready to start the cultivation-related matters.
"System, can I take both of them into the same cultivation interface at the same time?" Andre asked, hoping to take Skull and the Lightning Mouse into the cultivation interface together, which would be more convenient.
"The host can only bring the pets that have signed the contract into the cultivation plane. If the host wants to bring the customer's pets to cultivate, please buy a temporary contract first." The system answered slowly.
"Temporary contract?" Andre whispered softly.
At this moment, the store interface popped up in front of Andre's eyes. He saw that the original "Awakening Liquid" product had disappeared, and it was replaced by a roll of golden paper with the words "Temporary Contract" written on it. The price was as high as 10 energy points.
