Zhang Zian felt heartbroken! He had just sold one British Shorthair for seven thousand yuan, but now he had spent half of it. It wouldn’t bother him at all if it had been for Galaxy. He would pay any amount, no matter if it was three thousand or seven thousand. Poor Galaxy! But this Maneki-Neko was very aggressive and didn’t seem to have been mistreated. Its hair color was beautiful and couldn’t be any brighter.

”Navigation Elf, how come I got two cats in a row? Do you not have any other types of animals in your database?” he asked.

[Navigation Elf]: Humans are the spirit of all living things. Pets can become mythical creatures due to the belief of humans. Because cats and dogs are in contact with humans more often, they are more likely to become mythical creatures. However, there are many other types of pets in the database, waiting for the player to explore.

[Navigation Elf]: Another thing I want to mention is that, between your two current pets, the Maneki-Neko is the only cat that existed in real life. The Lucky Cat looks like a cat but is not a real one. Strictly speaking, it is just using a cat’s appearance and posture.

”A cat that existed in real life…” Zhang Zian thought for a moment, but he couldn’t find the clue, so he decided to improve his favorability level in order to unlock the origin.

Zhang Zian hadn’t gone out that often before, so today he decided to go home after having his lunch at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Afterwards, he took the public bus back to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. In front of the shop, he found two middle-aged women having a conversation. One of the women was with a four- or five-year-old girl.

Was the woman from the neighborhood association, coming to ask for his association fee?

He was about to go someplace else to avoid her, but after careful observation, these two middle-aged women were not wearing any neighborhood association badges…

Since they were not from the neighborhood committee, were they… customers?

Zhang Zian walked over and asked, ”Can I help you?”

The middle-aged women with a child was Zhao Qi’s neighbor. Her name was Liu Wenying. Her daughter’s nickname was Yueyue. Since the last time they had met Zhao Qi and her British Shorthair, Yueyue had kept asking for a cat.

Usually, Liu Wenying would not buy anything right away that Yueyue was asking for. After a few days or a few months, Yueyue would forget what she had asked for earlier. However, this time was different. Yueyue liked that cat very much and had been crying day and night asking for one. Even her husband had surrendered and asked her to take Yueyue to get one over the weekend. She got the Amazing Fate Pet Shop’s address from Zhao Qi through WeChat. Then, after having lunch, she took Yueyue down to the store. Unfortunately, the pet store was closed. She peeked through the glass door but found no one inside.

”Yueyue, there is nobody inside, should we come back another day?” she comforted her daughter.

”No, no, I want a kitty!” Yueyue squatted down, mad, and did not want to leave.

While Liu Wenying was having difficulty with her daughter, she heard someone speak.

”Excuse me, is this the Amazing Fate Pet Shop?”

She turned around and saw a woman whose age was similar to hers, in a fairly plain outfit.

”Yes,” she replied.

”Are you the owner?” the other woman asked.

”No.” To avoid a misunderstanding, she quickly explained, ”I am here to check out the pets too, but the store is closed…”
