NOVEL WEB Chapter 10 Cat Catching Plan
After confirming that he would take the task of catching stray cats, Li Qingzhou, holding his ID card, prepared to register.
However, just as he was queuing, he happened to meet his younger brother Zhang Huai.
"Why are you here?"
Li Qingzhou was a little surprised.
"Boss?"
Zhang Huai was also shocked.
"Are you here to do the task too?"
Li Qingzhou asked. In his impression, Zhang Huai often hung out with Wang Li before, and he didn't look like someone who would come to the Beast Tamer Association to do the task.
"Yeah."
Zhang Huai nodded, his face flushed a little. His family conditions were not good, so he often came out to do part-time jobs and hung out with Wang Li, one because they were like-minded, and the other because Wang Li was generous and helped him many times.
After the contract pet was successful, Zhang Huai thought about coming to the Beast Tamer Association to do the task and earn some living expenses, but he didn't expect to meet Li Qingzhou.
"Boss, are you here to do the task too?"
Li Qingzhou nodded.
Zhang Huai was puzzled. He knew that Li Qingzhou had won 100,000 yuan from Wang Li. He should not be short of money. He didn't know why he came to do the task.
"What task are you going to do?" Li Qingzhou asked.
"Pulling weeds."
Zhang Huai replied that his pet's strength was still relatively low, and he could not do slightly more difficult tasks at all. He could only do this simple but time-consuming task.
"The reward for this task is too low. You and I can do the task of catching stray cats together. Two people can complete the task faster. After completing it, the reward will be divided into half."
Li Qingzhou said that his younger brother still needs to be taken care of.
Zhang Huai thought about it and immediately nodded in agreement.
The reward for pulling weeds is only 500 yuan, which takes a whole day. The task of catching stray cats can be completed, but it can get 1,500 yuan, which is three times more.
After the two registered their information, they went to the Walnut Street District marked by the task.
This is an old neighborhood, mostly with five- or six-story dilapidated buildings. The streets are paved with bluestone slabs, with a sense of vicissitudes of a long time.
The person who issued the task was the administrator of the neighborhood, an old man in his sixties.
"Hello, old man. We are members of the Beast Tamer Association and we are here to catch stray cats."
Li Qingzhou greeted politely.
The old man took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket and put them on. He looked at the two of them, then shook his head and murmured in a low voice: "What's the point of sending two kids here?"
The old man casually pointed to the iron cages in the corner.
"Stray cats often appear at night. After you catch stray cats, you can lock them in these iron cages."
"Okay." Li Qingzhou nodded to show that he understood.
"These damn stray cats not only call and disturb people at night, but also break windows and steal from houses. It's so hateful."
The wrinkles on the old man's face squeezed into a ball, and his tone was indignant.
His windows were broken by stray cats twice, and the meat and food in the house were taken away, and even urinated and defecated on his bed.
This is also the experience of most people in this neighborhood. The windows are repaired and broken, broken and repaired, and they are very annoying.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to the Beast Tamer Association to entrust a few stray cats with a task.
"Alas, it seems that I have to pay a little more money to find a more powerful beast tamer."
The old man sighed.
Li Qingzhou and Zhang Huai were too young and childish, and the old man assumed that they could not complete the task.
Walnut Street, on the roof of a house.
Two men in black uniforms stood side by side, staring at the street.
"Captain, the recent reports of sleepwalking casualties are all in this street." The man with glasses said, holding a statistical report in his hand.
"Yesterday, the breath of the abyss was detected here. Although the fluctuations of the abyss breath have stopped now, it can be confirmed that the abyss is in this street."
"This street?" The man called the captain looked at the building under his feet with a sharp gaze. His face was unshaven and he looked fierce. "Keep looking, and be sure to determine the specific location of the abyss."
"Yes." The man with glasses turned on the computer and his fingers quickly tapped on the computer keyboard.
One by one, black mechanical birds flew down from the roof and flew to every corner of the street.
"The river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are in the Big Dipper..."
The man's phone rang, and the note was his daughter.
"Hey, my little baby, do you miss your dad?" The fierce look on the man's face was swept away, replaced by a kind and doting expression.
"Dad, why don't you come back for dinner?" A tender girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You eat first, Dad will go back after work."
"Okay, come back early."
The phone hung up, the man put away his phone, and his deep eyes revealed a melancholy expression.
"If you don't find Yuanxi, many people may not be able to eat in the future." He murmured.
When Li Qingzhou and Zhang Huai came out of the old man's house, it was already evening, the sky was getting dark, and the street lights in the block were also lit.
The two had a simple bowl of noodles at a small stall on the roadside and started to carry out their mission.
Stray cats are elusive, but the old man still gave their approximate range of activities.
The alley adjacent to the old man's house is the hardest hit area for stray cats.
At this moment, Li Qingzhou and Zhang Huai were hiding in this dark alley, squatting and looking around.
"Boss, aren't you going to look for stray cats?"
Zhang Huai was a little confused. What's the point of hiding here? Shouldn't he search the place thoroughly?
"Where's the thing I asked you to buy?"
Li Qingzhou asked.
"Here, two bags."
Zhang Huai put the two bags of cat food in his hand on the ground.
"Okay, you scatter the cat food there, and we'll wait for it." Li Qingzhou said.
"Oh, I understand, Boss is smart!" Zhang Huai suddenly realized.
The main purpose of stray cats coming out at night is to find food, and the cat food scattered on the roadside is a gift from nature for them.
The night gradually darkened, and the street lights in the block were dim, which could only illuminate the nearby area, and the farther away was blurry.
Suddenly two ghost lights lit up, and then four o'clock, six o'clock...
The nocturnal animals began to come out to find food.
The information of stray cats appeared in front of Li Qingzhou's eyes.

After his observation, there are a total of 5 stray ghost cats in this block, the highest level among them is Black Iron Level 5, and the lowest is Black Iron Level 2.
Obviously, the leader of this group of stray cats is the sturdy, Black Iron Level 5 ghost cat.
"Meow." The Black Iron Level 5 ghost cat called out, and the other four cats scattered to find food.
The Black Iron Level 5 ghost cat walked on the street with a cat step, and its slender tail swayed as it walked, which was very majestic.
