Andre's Pet Shop Adventure

In a corner of the bustling street of Vienna's new city, the "Little Naughty" pet shop run by Andre is quietly located here. The Gothic building's exterior and the black stone exterior walls are covered with mysterious runes, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story. The heavy oak door is inlaid with exquisite metal decorations, showing a unique charm. Inside the store, there are ancient maps and portraits hanging on the walls, gorgeous carpets on the floor, and solid wood furniture carved with exquisite patterns. The unique atmosphere of the European Middle Ages is everywhere.

Claire looked at the sign of the "Little Naughty" pet shop, and an indescribable sense of intimacy surged in her heart. After three days away, she came to this mysterious shop again. Her eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation, and at the same time, there was a hint of nostalgia. She couldn't wait to hug the little ones she had fostered here. In her heart, these pets were as precious as her own children.

Some of the pets were bought by her since they were young and raised carefully. As time went by, some pets grew up very quickly. In just three to five years, they grew from cute little ones that she could easily hold to big and strong ones. Now, she can even ride on them.

"I really don't know if the boss takes good care of your pets." Lan Lele followed Claire and said softly. This time she still accompanied Claire here, first to protect her, and second to supervise her. After all, she spent a lot of euros here last time, and she couldn't let the boss fool around, she thought so in her heart, with a trace of caution and worry in her eyes.

At this moment, Andre, who was practicing in the store, noticed someone coming in, so he stopped what he was doing and said expressionlessly, "Wait here." After that, he stood up and walked towards the pet room behind the store, ready to wake up the three foster pets and the Lightning Mouse one by one.

"Come out." Andre sent out a strong thought, signaling them to leave the foster barrier. The pets felt Andre's thoughts, but seemed reluctant to leave, and moved slowly, and slowly moved out of the foster barrier.

As soon as they left the foster barrier, the star power contract between them and Claire was instantly connected, and each other's existence was clearly felt.

"It's them!" Claire's eyes lit up, full of joy, she clearly felt that her pets were behind the store, just separated by a wall. She couldn't help but tiptoe, stretching her neck to look, her face full of anticipation, as if she could see her beloved pets running towards her in the next moment.

However, several minutes passed before she saw several pets slowly walking out of the pet room at the back. Their steps were extremely slow, and they would stop from time to time and look back frequently, as if there was something in the fostering barrier that attracted them so much that they were reluctant to leave.

Claire was slightly stunned when she saw this, and her heart was full of astonishment. Through the star power contract, she clearly felt the strong reluctance of several pets. After a short absence of a few days, they were not excited at all to see their master, but only had the inseparable attachment, which really puzzled her.

"Let's go." Andre waved his hand impatiently, urging them. Those pets were all very spiritual. They looked at Andre with their big watery eyes, and their eyes were full of pleading, as if they were begging to stay a little longer.

But Andre was too lazy to pay attention to their appearance and continued to urge them to walk faster. Helplessly, several pets could only droop their heads and return to Claire dejectedly. They just rubbed Claire's body symbolically, and then lay on the ground in a depressed mood. Anyone who saw their depressed appearance would feel pity.

Claire could naturally feel the depressed mood of several pets deeply. She couldn't help but be stunned. This was completely different from the meeting scene she had imagined. She originally thought that they would run towards her happily, jump and jump around her, and show the joy of reunion. But now, why are they so depressed?

Claire looked at the Lei Guangshu at her feet again. The last time they met, it was very excited to see her, but now, it also looked dejected and listless.

"This..." Claire didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt aggrieved and her eyes were slightly red, as if she was about to cry.

Andre also noticed the frustration and reluctance of several pets. Although he was a little surprised, he thought it was within his expectations. After all, this primary foster position is made of precious spiritual stones. It is always warmed by spiritual energy. The feeling of pets staying in it is as comfortable as soaking in a warm and pleasant hot spring in the cold winter. They were suddenly pulled out at this moment, and they didn't get angry. They were already well-behaved and docile.

"Boss, why are they so listless?" Lan Lele also noticed the abnormality of several pets, and immediately questioned Andre, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words, his brows slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were full of questioning.

Andre's face turned cold, and he replied indifferently: "How can I know?"

"You take care of them, how can you not know?" Lan Lele heard this, and her face suddenly showed anger, as if Andre had committed some unforgivable mistakes.

Andre couldn't help but sneer, and retorted: "Then if I take care of you for two days, should I know your joys and sorrows?"

"You!" Lan Lele stamped her feet in anger, and her fair face was slightly red because of anger.

Claire quickly came to her senses, and hurriedly reached out to stop the two people who were about to argue, and said to Andre with apology: "Boss, I'm really sorry, my friend is a little impatient, I hope you don't blame me."

"Claire, this matter is obviously weird." Lan Lele said quickly, her doubts in her heart have not diminished at all, and she still thinks this matter is very strange.

Claire shook her head slightly and said softly, "I only feel their attachment. They are like this, which just shows that the boss not only did not treat them badly, but took very good care of them. I really should thank the boss."

"Ah?" Lan Lele was stunned when she heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Attachment? They are attached to this place?" She really felt incredible. It was only a few days after fostering, and the pets actually developed such attachment. This was beyond her expectation.

You know, usually, even if there is a star power contract between the owner and the pet, which can convey emotions, at the beginning they only maintain a basic relationship of obeying orders. Once the contract is terminated, they will have nothing to do with each other like strangers. What's more, Andre has never signed a contract with these pets, so it is really puzzling that they can be so attached.

"It's true." Claire said with a wry smile. She herself found it hard to understand. Unless Andre treated these pets very well, they would be reluctant to leave. In this way, this is really a very conscientious pet store.

Lan Lele was stunned. She knew that Claire would not deceive her. It was unreasonable for her to leave her own people alone and speak for the boss. It seemed that she really misunderstood him. She looked up at Andre and saw that he still had a cold face. The words that were about to apologize were swallowed back immediately. She simply pretended that nothing happened and turned around to look at the pets carefully.

"Their injuries seem to have healed." Lan Lele was surprised to find that after carefully looking at them for a few times. That's right. Apart from being in a bad mood, the injuries of these pets have all recovered. Moreover, they seem to be healthier than before. The color of their fur is brighter and brighter, and the flames on the feathers of the fallen phoenix are burning more fiercely. They are obviously well taken care of.

Claire nodded slightly. In fact, she had noticed this before. Although the therapist said that they would recover in three days, she knew that the injuries of these three pets were obviously not healed today. It can be seen that here, they are not just fostered and fed, but also received careful treatment.

As for Andre's previous words about improving understanding and physical fitness, Claire couldn't test and verify it for a while, but she was very satisfied with the fact that it could heal injuries.

"I really don't know how it's being cultivated?" Claire's eyes slowly moved to the Lei Guang Rat at her feet. She squatted down and gently touched the Lei Guang Rat's little head, as if she wanted to comfort its depressed mood.

Just as she was stroking it, she unexpectedly found that the color of the Lei Guang Rat's fur had become darker. It was no longer the previous dark purple, but faintly black. Moreover, Claire felt a little strange. She found that her other pets seemed reluctant to get close to the Lei Guang Rat, so that the Lei Guang Rat was the closest to her at the moment, and the other three were all two meters away, unwilling to come close, as if they were no longer so close to her, but it was not like this in the past. In the past, they always surrounded themselves intimately.

"Boss, has it changed a lot compared to before?" Claire raised her head and looked at Andre, her eyes full of curiosity and doubt, and asked softly.

Andre still looked indifferent, and replied calmly: "It's at least several times stronger than before."

Although the combat power figure only doubled on the surface, it was only a reflection of the data level, not the actual combat power. You know, the span from the third level to the seventh level means that the strength is at least ten times higher than before, or even more. Even hundreds of third-level pets are just vulnerable in front of the seventh-level pets. The gap is really huge. Of course, this is also the place where the system task is quite tricky. How can others know the doorway?

"Several times stronger?" Claire was stunned when she heard this, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

Lan Lele on the side was also stunned, and also suspected that Andre had said something wrong. In just three days of cultivation, the pet's strength can be improved several times. This is simply a fantasy. Even the holy druids, those people who stand at the top ranks of trainers, don't dare to make such a boast, unless they use some extremely rare and mysterious secret techniques. But who would make such a fuss for a lightning mouse? Besides, the euros they paid before were far from worth it.
