interstellar animal keeper

When Eugene came home yesterday, he was still a little timid.When he was about 14 years old, he was exceptionally admitted to the best high school on the karst planet, that is, Karst Stone Forest Middle School. The discipline of Shilin Middle School is very strict. Stone City is [-] kilometers away.

Journeys within the same planet would be much cheaper and less time consuming than space travel.But from Shichuan City to Yashi City, it still takes five or six hours to take the maglev train. Shilin Middle School has strict management and assigns very heavy homework.Eugene is an ordinary person. Many students of the original race can use physical competition to earn credits. He can’t, and he doesn’t have any artistic talent. He can only get more credits by relying on cultural courses. key.

He has already gone to Shilin Middle School. If he goes to college, he can only go to an ordinary community college... This Eugene can't accept.

So he had no choice but to study non-stop, spending almost all his time brushing up questions, so that he had no time to go home on weekends. In many cases, he could only go home once a month or two, and he usually relied on video chatting with his parents.

His parents are very ordinary people, they don't have much ability, and they don't have much money. They are both honest people. When he was in school, they both worked in a factory that processed diving fish, and their salary was just that.Eugene understood very well that if the fate of this family wanted to be changed, it could only be changed from him.

He thought, if he could make a lot of money one day, it would be nice to make his parents not so tired.

Dad doesn’t have to get up at three o’clock in the morning to go to the morning shift, and grandma doesn’t have to leave the evening shift at ten o’clock in the evening. They can go out to play together on weekends, go to the “black hole” to catch diving fish, and go to picnics... This is The most common recreation of the average karst household.

So in order to quickly fulfill his dream, he went to Mars to continue his studies without looking back after receiving the admission letter from the University of Science and Technology of China.

... This visit is several years.

On the karst planet, there will also be conflicts between classes, but because most of the primitive races here are middle-level and low-level primitive races, and generally do not come from any big family, the gap with them is not big, so everyone I don't feel anything when playing together.When he was in high school, he had several friends who were native races. One was a caiying warbler and the other was a newt. The peaceful native species, the salamanders are lazy by nature, they will never say no if they can say yes, so it is also very good.

They have been roommates for three years, and these two guys are also from Yashi City, but they don't live in his area.

When I arrived in Mars, I realized that the original race is really different from ordinary people.

Mars is so far away, it's hard to go back if he doesn't make a name for himself.

I have also been in touch with my parents in the past few years, and I also know that after I went to college, my mother was fired from the factory because of a bad relationship with the leader, and my father also resigned after a while, and then they started to run a homestay... Eugene I heard that the owner company of the Black Hole Scenic Spot in Yashi City closed down due to poor management. This scenic spot has not found a new owner for a while. After the government recovered it, it was divided into districts and leased to civilians who are willing to do business. common people.

It seems to be called a homestay or something?It probably means that the residents build houses here and entertain tourists.These homestay owners need to protect the internal environment of the black hole, abide by everyone's rules, and pay a rent of [-] imperial coins to the government every year, and nothing else.

Whether you do well or not, it all depends on your ability.

The past few years had been a fair thing, and he could make a living doing it, and pay Eugene's living expenses... although he didn't need it.The past two years have been slightly better, because there are more and more people working in homestays, and the government is more supportive.

Eugene heard from his parents during the video chat. They also said that Eugene’s roommate’s family has also started to run a homestay, and it is also in the scenic spot of Heidong, just next door to them. The three families support each other, and the effect is very good.In a few years, maybe Eugene won't have to live in Mars, and he can go home to inherit the family business.

Every time Eugene heard his parents say that and looked at their gray hair, he felt a little sad.

When he went home yesterday, he didn't know where the door was, so he drove the navigation back.As a result, as soon as I arrived at the block, I saw my parents and roommates waiting, and tears came down.

His father and mother are so young, only about 50 years old!The hair is all white like that!

Eugene and everyone hugged and cried dazedly, and forgot to mention that this time not only he came alone, but also his boss, his partner and colleagues... In fact, this matter should have been mentioned earlier Yes, but An Mu's identity is really a bit unusual, and his partner Mo Kai is even more... In fact, even now Eugene thinks it's a dream. He actually entered An'an grocery store, and the partner of the owner of An'an grocery store is Third Marshal of the Empire...

If he said that directly to his parents, there are only two possibilities. One is that the old couple was scared to death by him, and the other is that the old couple thought that there was something wrong with his brain and sent him directly to the hospital to see his brain...

Eugene thought about it, but didn't know what to say.He is not a person who is good at lying, let alone malicious lies, letting him tell a white lie is like killing him, especially when facing the parents who have not seen for several years, looking at the white hair of father and mother , The guilt in his heart made him almost speechless.

...Until this morning, he saw that Dad was secretly dyeing his hair with Mom's hair dye, and dyed the hair that seemed to be darker to white again.

Eugene: "..."

Eugene's father was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly: "You saw it... well, then it's hard to hide it from you. Recently, gray hair is more popular in the city. It is said that it has a sense of vicissitudes. It is similar to TV star Caesar- Like Sheila, your mother and I just follow the trend..."

Eugene: "..."

Old Pusis, that is, Eugene's father, coughed: "Your mother and I are going to pick up guests. You can't do it yourself if you don't mess around. There's nothing you can do...Son, do you want to dye your hair too? I see that many of your classmates It was also dyed, and everyone said that the gray color is good, giving people a very mature and stable temperament."

Eugene didn't know what to say, but facing Abba who was holding a hair dye and wanted to dye his hair, he still rejected him rationally: "No, I feel very uncomfortable."

Where did the father who said so fiercely that if I dare to dye my hair and burn it, my dog ​​legs will be interrupted! ! !

It's terrible—and Caesar Sheila didn't dye her hair on purpose, her race is black and white cattle!What can people do? People are also very desperate!

_(:3∠)_The elderly fans who are half-chasing stars are really hopeless.

However, after Eugene walked into the bathroom, he saw that the hair dye used by his parents was the cheapest one on the market. Although it did not damage the hair, it did not have any maintenance function. A bottle of [-] imperial coins can be used for one Yue...he still felt sad.

During breakfast, I told my parents that my boss, his partner, and colleagues from the whole store are here, but they may not come here today, because they agreed to disband for a day and play by themselves.

The Pusis couple were very surprised: "You child, why didn't you talk about such a big matter earlier!"

Then Eugene discovered that his thoughts were completely different from those of the older generation. He did want to entertain An Mu and other colleagues, but he did it because he was grateful to An Mu and he was in An An's grocery store. The shop gets along very well with everyone, saying that colleagues are more like friends... although most of them are robots.Now that I’m finally home, of course I want to bring my friends over to play.

But his parents think that Eugene's boss is the leader!Those who can become leaders must be very powerful!Eugene must have a good relationship with others, and don't make people feel that he is ignorant, otherwise it will be difficult to get promoted in the future!

At the end of the breakfast, the Pusis and his wife had already started discussing, how about taking out the best batch of submerged fish salted last year to entertain Eugene's leader?Or should I send the best blanket I made myself?The problem is that their craftsmanship is very common among many homestay landlords. What if the leader feels that this is not sincere enough?

Eugene was silent again.

He wanted to know, obviously, my mother was laid off because the leaders in the factory were too narrow-minded, and my father also resigned for this reason, but why are they so superstitious about the word leader? !

But the sad thing is that although he has grown up for a long time, and he is still a proper key university student, he may be the one with the highest education in their family's ancestors, and already has a strong thinking ability... But he still has no way to refuse him Mom and Dad_(:3∠)_

So this time he went to the Black Hole B&B, he had to go with him.In order to do business, the Pusis and his wife had already placed the place where the dried fish was made at the B&B, and they did the work in the basement.

"Today you also have to learn how to make kippers! It will be more sincere to give it to your leader. Oh, you child, why are you so ignorant! Are you still in the internship period?" Talking about training him _(:3∠)_

Eugene felt that he was back when he was five years old, and was nagged by his parents every day because of little things. He had beautified the image of his parents because he couldn't go home before, and he even missed being talked about by his ears like this!

I feel really sick now.

At this time, at the entrance of the black hole, Eugene finally saw An Mu.

He felt that the boss came to save him again_(:3∠)_

Then, he saw Boss An Mu and his parents... talking very familiarly?

Meow meow meow? !Boss, why are you so proficient! ! !

……

An Mu originally thought that Eugene's parents were elders to him. After all, he was about the same age as Eugene and friends of the same generation, so he wanted to call him uncle and aunt when he came up, but Eugene's father directly held his hands, Then he said in a very sincere tone: "Boss An Mu, my boy works in your store, and I am really taken care of by you. The other scenic spots are full of people today. It's okay. I happen to have no guests at my house. Come and sit down." sit down?"

An Mu suddenly felt that he was not here for a tour, but the superiors came to inspect... However, he also knew that the mentality of the older generation might be different from that of the young, and their thinking would be a little older and stubborn, so he had to adjust If you change your attitude, if you call your uncle and aunt when you come up, maybe Eugene's father will think that he is messing around and not a stable leader.

He also held Eugene's father's hand: "Hello, Eugene works very well in the store, he is hardworking and down-to-earth, and he is very united with his colleagues. The internship period will be over soon, and we have given him a very good evaluation." Well, I will definitely keep it in the future.”

"Hey! Hey! Good!" Eugene's father just laughed. Although An Mu didn't say anything fancy, in the eyes of the parents, his son could get a hard-working, down-to-earth, solidarity evaluation from his colleagues, and the next internship It will definitely be retained, this is the best guarantee.

Eugene's mother was still pushing her son: "Come over, hurry up and carry the bag for the leader! Why are you so ungrateful, kid! Oops!"

An Mu hurriedly said no, no, no, they didn't like this in the store. Eugene's mother nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "As expected of a boss from a big city, alas, this big city is very particular. We, Eugene, You can learn more in the shop."

As for Mo Kai and Yaxi and others, after Eugene's parents heard that this was not a colleague, they didn't pay much attention to them. From their point of view, Mo Kai was probably An Mu's bodyguard. Eugene said An Mu He's an ordinary person. It's normal for ordinary people to hire bodyguards. Moreover, only successful ordinary people can afford bodyguards from natives!

The boss, Eugene, is really amazing!

There are also Yaxi and others. These young people look very frivolous (Axi:???), they look like rich second generations, and they are probably here to play.

Youjin was convinced by An Mu. He was about the same age as him. How could he be so old-fashioned?On the other side, Wendi, who was still relatively introverted and embarrassed to speak because she was outside, had her eyes glued to An Mu's body: "Eugene! That's great!"

Eugene: "???"

Wen Di said, "An Mu said that you will definitely be able to keep me. That's great! If only I could go as smoothly as my internship..."

Eugene thought to himself, where is this going? My child, do you want to think so far? He was obviously a precocious and good student when he was in school, but he only thought about whether he could enter Empire V Baiqiang, it’s still a daydream of being able to start your own business...

Wendi didn't notice Eugene's mood, he was still talking to himself: "I will definitely work hard to get into the God University of Science and Technology! Then I will work as an apprentice at An'an Grocery Store!"

——The dream of a graduate of the Imperial College of Science and Technology is to become an apprentice. The president of the university is afraid that he will faint from tears.

An Mu also felt that it was embarrassing to talk about this kind of topic all the time, so he slowly shifted the topic to the management of the homestay.It has now entered a black hole.This place called the black hole looks a bit invisible from the outside, but the inside is not really dark. The fine light shines in through the small holes, and occasionally the sound of water droplets can be heard.

There was the sound of flapping wings in the darkness. An Mu thought it was a bat and thought it was scary, but it turned out to be a swiftlet. This kind of swallow lived in the cave, and it might be the only bird that lived in the dark cave.They use saliva to make their nests. This kind of bird is a kind of intermediate beast. They are very smart, not afraid of people, and know how to cooperate with people—because many tourists who come to the black hole actually come to see swiftlets build their nests , So people will also dig out pits and hollows on the rock wall, which is more convenient for swallows to build nests. Swallows are grateful, so they learn from pavilion birds. They not only use saliva to make nests, but also pick flowers to decorate their nests on a regular basis.

There are gemstone lamps on the wall every ten meters, using a fluorescent gemstone called sapphire. The light is cold and not dazzling. It can make people barely watch the swallows on the wall.

The tourists next to them were talking about swallows in twos and threes. A female tourist said: "They are so cute! They are so small and fluffy! Can I raise one!"

Her male companion, or maybe her boyfriend, said, "If you want to keep one, let's see if we can buy one..."

Eugene's father heard this, and quickly dispelled the other party's idea: "No! Canaries are mid-level beasts, they are very powerful, they are cute in appearance, and their fighting power is not bad. We dare not take them as pets!"

Eugene's mother said: "And they are the third-level protected animals of the Empire..."

The last sentence is more powerful. If animals are protected at the third level of the empire, if they are caught privately, they will be fined [-] imperial coins.

For many people, this punishment is heavier than a year in jail.

An Mu said, "You can't buy pets, but you can actually buy dolls. It's not that the technology is very advanced now. You can make a kind of robotic canary, which can call and move like a real canary."

The couple became excited: "That's okay too! Is there any!"

Eugene's father scratched his head in shame: "I'm sorry, guest, we don't have this..."

The couple sank again.

An Mu felt that this was a pity, so he couldn't help but talk to Eugene's parents about business: "Traveling is not something that only customers spend money on when they come to play. The distance between the planets is too far away. , Many people who travel to the karst planet come from another planet far away like us, and may only come once in a few years, so souvenirs become particularly important.”

He said: "If the canary robot doll is to be produced in large quantities, the cost price of one piece is about [-] imperial coins. If it is sold, it can be sold for [-] to [-] imperial coins. Let me ask, [-] to [-] imperial coins. I can buy a little canary doll that can sing, dance, build nests, and tilt its head to show off its cuteness, would everyone be willing to pay for this?"

The tourists are all excited!The female tourist who spoke first shouted, "Yes! Give me ten!"

Five hundred imperial coins is not expensive for buying souvenirs. In many scenic spots, even a low-level nutritional supplement can be sold for fifty imperial coins, and the price has more than tripled.Few people will really choose to travel poorly when they are away from home.

Eugene's parents admired An Mu even more!This is indeed a young man from a big city!Just have brains!

Eugene, learn from others!

Eugene avoided the eyes of his parents, and was coaxed to the end.

On the other hand, An Mu felt that the people of the empire really didn't like to play very much, or that their play was different from what An Mu understood. Otherwise, the surrounding area should be overwhelming, so how could we wait for him to say it?

As for this kind of canary peripherals, if it is really done well, it will definitely not lose money.An'an Grocery Store is also selling dolls, they still can't cry and can't move, and the price is also very high, not to mention that many customers bought them, and some even ordered ten at a time, saying that they were for giving away.

There are still many rich people in the empire.

Going further inside, after more than 100 meters, you can see that there is enough light. The skylight leaks from the cracks in the stones, and the underground river on the ground is illuminated with colorful feelings. You can also see stalactites here, but it is different from An Mu. The stalactites I know are different... The stalactites here are in the shape of lightning hanging upside down. It is said that because the rocks here are thunder-like, the stalactites have become like this.

An Mu felt very emotional after hearing this: So even rocks have different attributes.

And, fortunately, Mokai's hair, which also has the attribute of thunder, is not in the shape of lightning... Otherwise, he might be urging Mokai to say Pikachu every day.

It's cute to think about it this way.

Thinking of this, he looked back with a smirk on his face. Mo Kai didn't understand why, and he didn't know what a shameful thing he had avoided.

There are many gray fish in the dark river. This kind of fish looks very different from the white snake fish. Their body is like a cylinder, and their heads are round and clumsy. There are two slits in their eyes, which are almost invisible. It should grow in deep dark rivers, so it degenerates without eyesight.The fins are also round and small, the tail is short and powerful, and the whole fish looks like a rubber tube.

"That's the snorkel," Mokai said.

An Mu stared at this stupid and ugly fish: "Although I can understand it, because it grows in such a dark place, everyone can't see each other's face, so they just give up and grow wildly? "

Eugene's father said proudly: "This fish looks good! Many people are afraid of fish, but they are actually afraid of fish eyes. This fish doesn't have eyes, so everyone can accept it!"

An Mu: "..." This is crazy!In this way, the thing with only two slits on the face looks weird, okay!

You can't think that this fish looks good just because he doesn't have eyeballs to emit weird light!
