Chapter 38: Please Leave

In the afternoon, Fang Ziyu went to the Mutated Plant and Core Market after lunch.

He wasn’t there to buy Level 1 cores for Icy and the others, but for something else.

It was difficult to buy plants that could increase Spiritual Power in the market, but there were many types of mutated plants for pets below Level 3.

Fang Ziyu walked into the Mutated Plant Supermarket and spent 12,000 yuan to buy a Level 2 mutated catmint. After that, he went to the Chaotic Monster Fish Market to buy a Red Jade Carp.

Due to the rise of Spiritual Energy, many fishes had mutated into Chaotic Monsters, and their strength and body size had greatly increased. However, people still treated them like food on dining tables. Besides, according to the differences between each kind of fish monster, people had even developed special ways of eating them.

The live fishes in the market were all at Level 1, and they didn’t have any harmful abilities. All Level 2 fish monsters or the stronger ones among Level 1 were killed when they were caught.

Fang Ziyu walked around and searched all the shops but still couldn’t find the Red Jade Carp. He felt a little strange. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be hard to find a Level 2 fish.

Compared to the other mutated monsters, the fish monsters were relatively easy to deal with. Many of them were directly electrocuted and people didn’t need to fight them at all, so fish had the most amount in the market.

Of course, it only worked on low-level ones. Electricity wouldn’t be useful on those above Level 3.

Seeing Fang Ziyu looking around, the owner of a fish stall in his forties asked, “Young man, what fish are you looking for? Tell me and I’ll help you take a look.”

“Red Jade Carp, both the core and the meat.” Fang Ziyu said.

“Can it be a White Jade Carp? The texture of the meat is similar to that of the Red Jade Carp,” said the owner.

“No, it’s not for eating. I need the Red Jade Carp.” Fang Ziyu said.

“I can’t help you then. There should be very few Red Jade Carps in the market. The Red Jade Carp is originally a mutation of the White Jade Carp. There aren’t many of them, but the price is the same as that of the White Jade Carp. Whether we can catch it depends on luck.” The owner of the fish stall explained.

“If you want one, you can go fishing by the Han River yourself. It should be very easy to catch.” The fish stall owner said.

“Thank you, I got it.” Fang Ziyu nodded and turned around to leave.

Fang Ziyu walked home with the catmint. He bought these for Yellow to evolve. Yellow’s magic power had already reached the peak of Level 1 and had fulfilled the requirements to evolve.

Since he could only use his Handbook Points to evolve pets that he had contracted, he could only prepare the materials himself if he wanted to help Yellow evolve. Unexpectedly, there was no Level 2 Red Jade Carp in the market.

“The Han River is not far and is still in the city. Let’s go catch one after two days.” Fang Ziyu thought to himself. The fishing tools he bought previously had been stored in the shop for a long time.

After returning to the shop, Fang Ziyu laid on the recliner that he was familiar with with the most comfortable posture. However, a middle-aged man came to the store.

This person was wearing a suit. Fang Ziyu didn’t know him. He only heard from Li Huiting that this was the manager of the Love Pets Store opposite them.

He sized up the situation in the shop and walked straight to the cashier in front of Fang Ziyu.

Fang Ziyu looked at him and asked with a normal attitude, “Can I help you? Are you here for pet consultation or buying pets?”

“None of them. I’m here to offer you a sincere invitation on behalf of Love Pets Corporation. We hope you can come to our company. If you come to our company, you can discuss the other conditions with us. We will definitely give you a satisfactory reply.”

The man politely extended an invitation to Fang Ziyu.

Fang Ziyu glanced at him. “You’ve already opened a pet store opposite my shop, and you’re still talking to me about your sincere invitation? You must be joking.”

“I didn’t know that Mr. Fang was so capable. If I had known, I wouldn’t have tried to teach a fish how to swim. If you come to our company, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to demolish this pet shop immediately,” the middle-aged man said.

The sincere invitation from Love Pets was obvious.

“What if I want a salary of 10 million a year?” Fang Ziyu asked again.

“That’s not a problem.” The man nodded.

“What about hundreds of millions?” Fang Ziyu asked again.

“This is still not a problem, as long as you come to our company,” the man said after a second of silence.

“Forget it then. You can’t buy freedom with money. I’m an unrestrained person who loves freedom. I don’t want to work for other people. Please leave. Forgive me for not sending you off.” Fang Ziyu shook his head and said.

No matter what, it was impossible for Fang Ziyu to go to such a place. Wasn’t the Spirit Research Institute better?

It was just that he hadn’t decided if he should go to that kind of place yet. After all, the free life in the shop where he could sleep in the shop until he woke up naturally every day and could get off work at any time was very satisfying.

He didn’t want to work for others to restrict himself. He didn’t have any reason to join these organizations anyway.

“Mr. Fang, you can even have shares in our company. No one will restrict your freedom.” The man didn’t expect this outcome and he quickly said.

Fang Ziyu shook his head. “Please leave. I have no intention of becoming enemies with anyone, as long as no one else sees me as one.”

This sentence was to tell Love Pets that he didn’t have the intention to become enemies with them. Love Pets was the one who wasn’t being kind first. They opened a cat store right across the road from his shop and made an enemy out of him first.

Seeing that Fang Ziyu had already returned to his seat, the man knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He sighed in confusion and left.

Seeing him leave, Li Huiting asked curiously, “Why don’t you go? You look like you need money.”

“Even the National Spirit Research Institute invited me, but I didn’t go.” Fang Ziyu shrugged and said.

“Brother Fang, you were so cool when you said ‘please leave.’ You rejected hundreds of millions of profits so casually. You’re totally awesome!” Fang Xiaojie said admiringly.

Fang Ziyu kept reading the book as though it was a matter of course.

Li Huiting: “…”

I finally know why you can stay in the store. It turns out you’re a bootlicker.

Another day passed by quickly. Fang Ziyu obtained 50 Handbook Points and sold a pet.

After going upstairs, Fang Ziyu revealed a smile that he had never had, even when serving important customers.

Icy had a look of disdain on its face after eating one core. He was really embarrassing it, but for the sake of the core, it could just pretend it hadn’t seen it.

“Daiyu, good evening.” Fang Ziyu greeted it warmly once he went upstairs.

“Meow…”

Daiyu got up from the box and raised its paw to greet Fang Ziyu. It wiped its round face with its paws, looking sleepy.

“Are you hungry? Do you want some cat food? Or core fragments? Do you want dried fish?” Fang Ziyu asked enthusiastically.

“Meow, meow…”

This time, Yellow was the one that meowed. It didn’t bother to care when Fang Ziyu, this idiot, tried to flatter other cats. However, it couldn’t bear to see him give other cats dried fish.

Yellow got up from its seat and looked at Fang Ziyu with its amber cat eyes. It seemed like if Fang Ziyu dared to touch the dried fish today, it would never forgive him.

Fortunately, Daiyu wasn’t as passionate about dried fish as Yellow. It meowed and walked to the cat bowl with cat steps, signaling that it could just have cat food.

Hearing this, Yellow laid down and dozed off again.

Life as a cat was this boring.

Fang Ziyu squatted down and looked at Daiyu, who was eating cat food with its sister. He suddenly felt more nervous than confessing his love to a girl.

He smiled at Daiyu and asked tentatively, “Daiyu, do you want to become stronger?”
