Following the boss's guidance, Duanmuhuai found this pet shop in Chinatown.

"This place doesn't look like much."

Duanmuhuai frowned as he looked at the pet shop in front of him. Unlike other pet shops, large and small, this pet shop is located underground in Chinatown, and the door is closed. It looks like an underground warehouse.

What kind of pets can there be in a place like this?

Could it be some kind of black shop?

Forget it, let’s go in and take a look.

Duanmu Huai was naturally not afraid of gangsters or black shops, so he opened the door and walked in. Shajiuye also followed Duanmuhuai curiously and walked into the pet shop.

It has to be said that Duanmuhuai regretted it the moment he walked into this shabby store.

This damn thing doesn't look like a pet shop!

The entire store was pitch black, and incense from someone's source was lit. Although there were a few bird cages, the squeaking sounds of animals could be heard coming from inside. But this place doesn’t look like a pet shop! Where are all these animals?

"This place doesn't look too good to me."

Duanmu Huai glanced around and frowned.

"Forget it, let's go."

Just when Duanmuhuai was about to leave with Shajiuye, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Welcome, two guests."

Along with this sound, the curtain next to it opened, and then Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye saw a person walking out. He was wearing a cheongsam, and he looked neither male nor female, but he looked pretty human-like. When he saw Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye, this person was not startled like the previous pet shop owners, but was smiling.

"Welcome to Count D's pet shop. What do you two need?"

"Are you a count?"

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Duanmu Huai looked at the other party up and down unhappily. Although there were many ethnic furniture such as screens and paper doors here before, Duanmu Huai still subconsciously thought that the other party should be a blond and blue-eyed foreigner. After all, it’s not surprising that Westerners like this mysterious Eastern style, but it’s different for a person with black hair and yellow skin.

How many years has passed since the Qing Dynasty fell? Where is the earl? Where did it come from? Is it a yellow flag?

"Actually, I'm just the acting store manager, and the title of earl only extends to my grandfather."

The man didn't seem to care and explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's okay. We come here just to buy a pet... This is a pet shop, right?"

"Of course, there are all kinds of pets in the world. No matter how rare and rare the species is, we can provide it for you as long as you are willing. Please tell me what pet you need."

"What pet do I need?"

I have to say that Duanmu Huai was really stunned when he heard the man's question. Along the way, at first he just thought about buying a cat or dog, but later he was so irritated by those damn pet shop owners that Duanmuhuai also got into trouble and insisted on buying some kind of pet.

But what to buy?

Buy a cat? Buy a dog?

Although it was a normal operation, Duanmu Huai felt that it was a bit too ordinary at this point.

But if you want to buy reptiles such as snakes or lizards, Shajiuye will definitely object, and Duanmuhuai himself doesn't like it very much.

What about parrots and the like? Duanmuhuai felt that he had no intention to raise such a thing.

So what else?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai found that he really couldn't think of a pet to buy for a while.

Is it a waste of time to go along with you?

Just when Duanmuhuai was in chaos in the wind, Shajiuye came to his rescue.

"Excuse me, store manager, do you have any recommended pets?"

"recommended?"

Upon hearing Shajiuye's question, the guy, who could not tell whether he was a man or a woman, thought for a moment, and then showed a strange smile.

"Ah, in that case, there is a pet that is very suitable for you two. Please come with me."

As he spoke, the store manager turned around and walked inside. Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye also followed the store manager into the corridor deep in the pet store.

This corridor is deep and long, with countless doors beside it, which makes people feel a little uneasy. Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye, on the other hand, have experienced a lot, so they are not very nervous. The store manager took them to a door and opened it.

"Please come in."

"So what pet did you recommend?"

Duanmu Huai put his head in and looked around, and the store manager also stepped forward and lit a candle.

"Please look."

Under the light of candles, Duanmuhuai and Shajiuye saw a majestic raptor like an eagle standing on the shelf, staring at them with unblinking eyes. That huge body and sharp claws - well, it's no problem to use it for filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

"This is a raptor from the plateau. It is ferocious and intelligent by nature. I think it is very suitable for this guest."

"Um……………"

It's not impossible for a bird of prey.

"That's it? Will it recognize its owner?"

"certainly."

The store manager nodded slightly, then took out a piece of paper and handed it over. Duanmuhuai took the paper and glanced at it.

"What's this?"

"This is a contract, and there are three things to note in it. First, it must be fed fresh meat every day. Second, it must not be restrained. Third, its sleeping time must not be disturbed. If the above agreement is violated, something will happen. Our store will not be responsible for anything..."

"Aha?"

After hearing what the store manager said, Duanmuhuai threw aside the pen and paper in his hand.

"It's so troublesome? Then I don't want it."

Although this raptor does look quite cool, Duanmuhuai doesn't have the patience to keep pets. Moreover, there are so many bad conditions, and it must be fed fresh meat every day. It must not be restrained, or even disturbed from its rest--do you think you have a pet? Or did you raise an uncle?

For Duanmu Huai, the so-called pets are just like the cats and dogs raised in the village. If I have a stutter, I will leave you a share, and if I finish eating the meat, I will leave you a bone. Just like that, the dogs were eating well, and there was nothing wrong with the care of the home. How can a bird like this one be so demanding and have to eat fresh meat every day? What's the matter, you still won't eat the frozen meat, right?

I already eat frozen chicken legs, can I buy fresh meat for you? Do you think you eat better than I do?

So am I raising a pet or an uncle?

no! Can't get used to it!

So Duanmuhuai threw it away decisively.

"Well……………"

Seeing Duanmuhuai rejecting the transaction so rudely, Shajiuye was also a little embarrassed. Of course she knew her brother's impetuous temperament, and she also guessed why he was unwilling to raise this big, majestic-looking bird. But to refuse it directly in front of the other store manager... it was a bit too much.

However, the store manager was able to keep his composure and did not get angry because of this. Instead, he still stared at Duanmuhuai with a smile on his face.

"So, what do you want, my guest?"

"Um……………"

Duanmuhuai thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he looked at the store manager again.

"You just said that you can get any kind of animal in your store?"

"certainly."

"Then... I want a red panda, can you get it?"

That's right, Duanmu Huai has also made a decision now. He plans to buy a red panda!

Oh, not the giant panda cub, but the little panda with a fluffy tail who is always confused by humans and raccoons!

Although Duanmu Huai is tall and thick, he has a pink girl's heart inside. Duanmu Huai naturally couldn't be more fond of such a cute animal like the red panda!

Of course, giant pandas are actually quite cute, but they will grow up after all, and giant pandas eat bamboo. Where can Duanmu Huai find bamboo for him? On the other hand, red pandas are much easier to feed. Duanmuhuai remembers that he used to see them in the zoo. They only eat fruits, and their mood is very gentle. Anyone can touch them. Their furry bodies and furry tails are so cute!

But in our own world, we are protecting animals after all. We can just touch them in the zoo, but it is impossible to take them home.

But in this world... Since you said you have all kinds of animals here, then it's okay to give me a red panda.

"Red panda?"

"That's right, not a black and white fat kid, but a fluffy little guy with a big tail."

Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and he believed that the other party should understand what he meant.

As for whether you can tame the red panda after it arrives - hey, what is this [Animal Taming] used for? Just showing off?

"Do you have any idea? I want to complete the procedures and don't cause any trouble."

"sure."

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the store manager was silent for a moment, then smiled again and nodded to Duanmuhuai.

"Please give me a few days, and I will definitely satisfy the guest. Of course, you need to pay a deposit before that..."

"No problem, but you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise I will destroy your shabby store."

Duanmu Huai now has a lot of money in his hands, so naturally he doesn't care about spending, but he doesn't like to be taken advantage of. Not to mention this guy who can't distinguish between male and female. He doesn't know how troublesome it is to get a red panda in this world, but Duanmu Huai doesn't like to get himself into trouble. If he has a pet, he will definitely not hide it like some rich people. At home, I will take it out.

To be honest, if big cats like tigers and lions weren't too troublesome, Duanmuhuai wouldn't be interested at all. He could just follow the example of the princes in the Middle East and lead a lion on the street.

But the red panda...hehehe, small and soft...hehehehe...

Duanmuhuai almost laughed like a fool.

Now that the conditions had been reached, Duanmuhuai was too lazy to stay any longer. He paid the deposit and then left the pet store with Shajiuye. After leaving, Shajiuye looked at Duanmuhuai curiously and asked.

"Brother, is that red panda really that good?"

Shajiuye initially thought it was a panda, but later she was surprised when Duanmuhuai said it had a fluffy tail. After all, everyone knows about the panda’s tail.

So what exactly is this red panda?

Moreover, Shajiuye even saw Duanmuhuai drooling. This expression was rare.

"Hey hey hey."

Hearing Shajiuye's inquiry, Duanmuhuai just smiled.

"You'll know then."
