The bus went into the business district of downtown and slowed down.

On the map of Binhai City that was displayed on his phone, a light circle was blinking on some location in downtown, and a flashing point that marked Zhang Zian’s location was approaching it.

[Navigation Elf]: The rare pet is around, please leave the vehicle and search by foot.

Zhang Zian raised his eyebrows. ”Really? This area seems to be too large. Could you zoom in the map? It’s too small to read!”

[Navigation Elf]: Sorry, the game’s settings are like this. Please try your best.

”Could you at least tell me the type of pet? Cat, dog, or something else?” Zhang Zian asked

[Navigation Elf]: No comment.

[Game Hints]: Uncaptured virtual pets can only be observed via camera, you cannot see it with your own eyes, which means no one other than the player will realize the existence of virtual pets.

[Game Hints]: Please turn on your phone’s camera to observe.

Zhang Zian had no option but to get off the bus at the next stop and look around the buildings.

This business street was a north-to-south street, and the bus stop was on the east side. On Zhang Zian’s right-hand side was a KFC, China Telecom, Apple store, Jiuai Wedding Photography Store, and Kangyuan pharmacy. On the other side of the road, to Zhang Zian’s left, was a Longfeng Jewelry, Bank of China, Uniqlo, and Lenovo store.

According to the blinking light circle, the uncaptured pet should be nearby.

Since the virtual pets could only be seen via cell phone… Zhang Zian inspected the street with his eyes first. He saw two dogs, one Teddy and one Shih Tzu, and one stray cat. He turned on the camera on his phone and inspected the street again, but still saw the same three.

This indicated that the pet was not on the street. It must have been in one of the stores.

Starting from the easy part, Zhang Zian ambled into the KFC and intuitively wished the unknown pet was not a chicken, especially not a fried one...

There were a few people in the KFC, since breakfast time had just passed.

He pretended to be looking for a seat and dawdled around, but he found nothing.

”A medium coke, please.” He went to the cashier and put in an order, holding his phone above the counter to make sure no pet was hiding behind it, while the waiter was getting him the coke.

After paying for the coke, he left the KFC. If the pet was hiding in the kitchen of the KFC, he would admit his failure. However, could an epic/legend level pet be staying in a smoky and noisy kitchen? He doubted that.

Turning right after he got out of the door, it was China Telecom.

”May I help you, sir? Are you buying a cell phone or changing plans?” the salesman asked calmly when Zian entered the door with his phone in hand.

”Humph… Let me think,” he said.

The salesman seemed dissatisfied with his answer and thought, ”Why wouldn’t you decide before entering the door?”

The store was small and simple-layered. Showcases for cell phones were on both sides, and a service counter was in front. It was busy on weekends, and the waiting line was pretty long. That was the salesman who was selling cell phones calling him just now.

He went to the service counter first. Those customers in line stared at him vigilantly, thinking that he would jump the line.
