Cub Raising Association

Gaia’s rare plant auction was held as scheduled. All connoisseurs from all over the interstellar space who were going to participate in the auction arrived at Gaia’s starship early, for fear that they would be delayed by something on the way and miss the auction.

Originally, in order to add a gimmick to this auction, Soma Auction House began to spend half a month ago on the star network to promote the preheating. It didn't take long for the name of this auction to spread throughout the rare plant appreciation circles.

If you stay in this circle but don't know about this auction, then the other party may be ashamed to say that you are a rare plant connoisseur.

Originally, these connoisseurs were already tickled and wished to participate in this auction right away, but a few days before the auction started, Soma Auction House released another official message on Youxing, saying that this The second auction accidentally added a finale treasure, and the following paragraphs of praise almost didn't brag about this treasure to the sky.

But even if it is bragging, if the official dares to blow up this finale auction item like this, even if the real thing is not as good as the seven points in the description, it should have five points.

Five points is enough for them to look forward to - what "shape like a red lotus, color like a precious jade", but seeing that the auction will start in a few days, isn't this anxious to death!

It can be said that the connoisseurs who came to the auction had their appetites whetted. On the day when the auction started, everyone rushed to enter the venue, wanting to see that sooner, which made them think about it day and night. Finale baby of the day.

On the other hand, after successfully entrusting the pot of succulent to the auction house, Xie Tao stopped paying attention to this matter, and only waited to collect the money after the auction ended.

More or less money is an income, Xie Tao has already figured it out, as soon as the money is in hand, he will first go to Xingwang to buy some cub toys for the cubs in the branch.

I heard that many cub care clubs will build special playgrounds for cubs. If they don’t, at least buy some toys for the cubs.

Otherwise these cubs usually have nothing to play with, Xie Tao is willing to play with these cubs, but he can't stay with them for too long by himself, and he can't take care of so many cubs... You still have to buy toys .

On the second day after the auction ended, Soma Auction House directly sent the finance director to visit their big client in person.I found a dilapidated cub care branch between the bustling commercial streets on both sides. The treasurer stood in front of the rusted iron gate, almost thinking that he had found the wrong place.

Why would a big customer stay in a place like this? ?

According to the director of the auction house's original thinking, the person who can get that kind of rare treasure out of his hands should have a good background.

Although it was a surprise, the treasurer didn't forget what he was here for today, and quickly went in to find the target of his trip.

"Hello, Mr. Xie, I am the supervisor of Soma Auction House." The supervisor politely handed over a business card to the human youth in front of him, and at the same time handed over a dark purple crystal card, "The auction proceeds of the entrusted items will be deducted The amount after the 15% commission is all in this crystal card, a total of 306 million credit points."

Originally, he was about to reach out to take the two cards, but Xie Tao was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly doubted his hearing, "...how much?"

"306 million credit points." The supervisor said this carefully, trying to make the expression on his face more sincere when speaking.Could it be that the young man felt that the auction price was too low and did not meet the expected amount, so he was a little dissatisfied?

Thinking that the human youth in front of him was a client that the superior was trying to win over, the supervisor immediately began to say something nice: "Actually, the transaction price of this entrusted item is already the highest among all rare plant auctions so far. The last one The highest record is only 117 million, so it can be said that the transaction price of your consignment is unique."

In today's interstellar era, the most valuable thing at the auction and the thing that attracts the majority of bidders is the auction of cutting-edge weapons such as rare resources and new mechs.Auction items like rare plants, which are only used for viewing and satisfying personal hobbies, can be sold for more than 300 million yuan, which is really a sky-high price.

If it is only for money, the auction house should collect more resources to hold popular types of auctions, but Soma Auction House is a very ambitious auction house. In addition to asking for money, the top management also focuses on fame.

After all, there are many trading planets in Interstellar, and there are countless auction houses. If you want to stand out among the many auction houses, you must of course establish a reputation.Like this time, the entire rare plant appreciation circle was ignited, and even outsiders couldn't help but join in the fun of the auction, which brought considerable attention to their auction house.

After accumulating fame, won't it be easy for Soma Auction House to get money?Therefore, it is very necessary to attract customers who can sell rare items at this stage.

Confirming that he heard correctly, Xie Tao took the two cards from the opponent's hand, swiped his finger on the dark purple crystal card, and saw the number 3060000 clearly displayed on it.

Asking Xie Tao how he was feeling now, he was probably still a little confused, but he still maintained his normal expression and nodded to the person in front, expressing that he was very satisfied with the transaction price.

Seeing the young man nodding his head, the supervisor also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said cheerfully with a bit of hospitality: "Now on Youxing, your pot of rare plants has become a hot topic. To be honest, the rare plants I have seen in these years There are also many rare plants, but I have never seen such a magnificent treasure, which has fascinated many people outside the appreciation circle."

Since yesterday, Youxing even set off a wave of appreciation of rare plants. Some people who didn't pay attention to this circle before are now a little interested.

Xie Luan nodded again with a grim face. Hearing the other party praise him so much for the succulent he raised on Earth, Xie Luan was in a very complicated mood at this time.

"If you have any rare items that you want to entrust for auction in the future, you might as well consider our Soma Auction House first. In terms of commission ratio, our auction house is willing to give you a discount and only charge 10% of the service fee." The main purpose of the other party's trip.

Xie Tao didn't refuse either, and replied "yes", and as soon as the people left, he turned and went to the office, and used that old optical computer to log in to his Youxing account, which he had just created a few days ago.

You Xing is almost used for the same purpose as Weibo on Earth. After logging in, Xie Tao saw the word "exotic plants" on the popular title, and when he clicked on it, he saw his pot of succulents that had been auctioned.

There are countless praises and comments under this released picture. When Xie Tao saw that "this may be a rare species bred by absorbing countless psychic powers on an undeveloped planet", he finally couldn't help it. The lower corner of his eye twitched slightly.

No...it's actually just...

A pot of succulents for a few yuan on a certain treasure.

After turning off the optical brain and calming down his complicated mood, Xie Tao pressed his finger on the center of the crystal card for three seconds to bind his identity.Holding this crystal card with more than 300 million credit points in his pocket, Xie Tao decided to meet the old president now and discuss with him the future development of their branch.

The amount obtained from the auction completely exceeded Xie Tao's expectations. With this money, Xie Tao felt that he might be able to be an investor in this cub care branch.

The old president was already very old. When he heard Xie Tao's idea, he raised his somewhat blurred eyes and took a deep look at the other party, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.

He didn't know how the other party got the money, but the behavior of the young man was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, giving hope to the old president who had been worrying about the existence of the branch.

Of course, the old president would not reject Xie Tao's investment proposal, he nodded and accepted it almost immediately, he only had to sign a contract, and the matter was considered a final decision.

After coming out of the old president's room and into the room where the cubs were taken care of, Xie Tao saw Xia Qi looking at Zhao Chuan with an uneasy expression again, but this time he didn't know why.

"Anyway, let me remind you that according to your current work attitude, you will be fired sooner or later." Xia Qi put down this sentence with a cold face. Recently, the other party has really gone too far, as long as the other party is willing to be a little more serious about work , Xia Qi will not always show face to the other party.

Who wouldn't want to be able to talk to Yan Yuese, but some people just refuse to listen to others who speak well, so they have to be scolded.

The word "dismissal" was originally a bit of a shock to Zhao Chuan, but he had heard it too much from Xia Qi, and he had long been immune to it.After working in this cub care branch for two years, Zhao Chuan knew that with the conditions of this branch, no new employees could be recruited at all. Since no new employees could be hired, and there were not enough manpower, he would definitely not dismiss him casually. .

So Zhao Chuan didn't take it seriously this time, and still had the same attitude until another human youth whom he didn't take seriously came up to him——

"You've been fired." Xie Tao said this clearly, slurring each word so that the other party wouldn't hear clearly.

There was no anger in the young man's voice, he only used a very ordinary statement tone, and his expression was very calm.

"Fire me if you say you fire me?" Zhao Chuan sneered, as if he heard something funny, "You are just a new employee, learn how to respect your seniors when you have time, why do you still regard yourself as the president Is it?"

Xie Tao wasn't annoyed, he just said, "It's true that you can be considered half the president."

Zhao Chuan only thought that the young man was telling a joke. Originally, he wanted to laugh twice for the other party to hear, but when the old president appeared, he couldn't laugh.

"Xiao Luan said to fire you, then you have been fired. What are you still doing here, pack up your things and leave. I will transfer this month's salary to your crystal card." The old president is also very vigorous. Well, the youth is now the biggest investor in their branch. Of course, it is up to them to fire an employee, especially if this employee has a bad character in the first place.

Only then did Zhao Chuan really start to panic.Before he could figure out how the human youth in front became half the president of the branch, he suddenly changed his face and put on a sympathetic expression, "President, you can't fire me, where can I find anything outside? Work. Not to mention work, I don’t even have a place to stay outside, if you fire me, wouldn’t that mean pushing me to the edge of a cliff, I..."

"We are the Cub Care Association here, not the Poverty Alleviation Association." Xie Tao interrupted the other party's words.

"You—" Wanting to scold someone but remembering the young man's current identity, Zhao Chuan held back the words, "Anyway, I won't leave, so don't let me go!"

Seeing that he couldn't say it, Zhao Chuan started to play tricks at first, which made Xia Qi and the old president beside him frown.If the other party is so stubborn and refuses to leave, how can they drive the other party out for such an adult?

However, Xie Tao was more straightforward than the other party, "You really don't want to leave?"

After asking this sentence, Xie Tao waved to the Muka cub who came out of the room because he heard his voice.

Seeing the dangerous Muka cub getting closer, Zhao Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Then Zhao Chuan didn't pay attention, and the young man pulled up his left hand. In front of the Muka cub, his raised left hand hit the young man's arm.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Tao performed a live performance of the birth of a playwright, yelling out pain even though it didn't hurt at all.

"Bah——" Seeing the young man being attacked, the Muka cub let out a low growl that represented a threat from its throat. It squeezed its vertical eyes to hide the young man behind itself, and then it used its scarlet vertical eyes to squeeze He stared at the person who attacked the young man just now.

The more he stared at Zhao Chuan, the Muka cub showed more and more aggressiveness. This obvious dangerous posture reminded Zhao Chuan of the shadow of being chased by the Muka cub before. After holding on for a few seconds, he was so frightened that he ran away.

"It's resolved." Xie Tao said.

Xia Qi, the old president: "..."

"The baby is awesome." Xie Tao stretched out his hand and patted the sharp forearm of the Muka cub, then slowed down his voice to praise him.

The cub Muka, who was praised by the young man, lowered his head slightly and let out a low hiss. Finally, it lowered its head and arched into the young man's arms.

Youth has no fighting ability, so it has to protect the opponent.Among the Muka tribe, losing the ability to fight basically means death, so in the cognition of this Muka cub, if it does not want the young man in front of it to die, then it has to "protect".While protecting, provide survival resources for young people, so that young people can survive.

Now that there is a considerable amount of money, Xie Tao first made a rough plan in his mind on how to allocate and use this money as the start-up fund of this branch.

The day passed quickly, and at night, after going into the incubator to apply the nutrient solution on the three cub eggs inside, Xie Tao returned to his room, lay down on the cushion and prepared to have a good sleep, and started his plan tomorrow.

Although Xia Qi said that the nutrient solution can be applied every few days, in the past few days, Xie Tao has not missed a day, and has been running into the heat preservation room every day.

When I closed my eyes, I was still thinking about the development of the club, but the sleepiness also came very quickly. It didn't take long for Xie Tao to fall asleep, and his breathing gradually became shallower.

The club at night is in a peaceful and quiet darkness, and in the only place with light in this quiet night, an unknown thing is happening at this time——

[This egg hasn't hatched for so many years, it should be a dead egg. 】

[It's good if it's a dead egg, but I heard that there is still a little life reaction in the test, it's really hard. 】

[When there is no life reaction, just throw this egg into the scrap yard. 】

[Since the other clansmen are all dead, what is there to do with a cub, this race should be extinct. 】

[Sorry, our branch cannot accept this cub egg, you still send it to another cub care branch. 】

[Due to complaints from parents, it is not convenient for our branch to take care of this cub again, you...]

……

……

[Hurry up and be born. 】

"Crack." A crisp sound suddenly appeared in the quiet insulation room. With the sound, a clear crack appeared on the black cub egg that had been wiped with nutrient solution and placed on the soft cushion. .

This crisp sound appeared several times in a row, and when the eggshell finally created a gap with enough space, a white fluffy cub that looked a bit round when it lowered its body fell out of the eggshell. Kicked his legs and climbed out.

There was still a bit of someone's breath left in the insulation room, and the cub had felt this kind of warm breath when it was still in the eggshell.

But the breath left in the incubator was too weak, and it was almost unbearable, which made the cub instinctively let out a low whine.

This is a strange world, even though it is in the incubator, the cub still feels a cold feeling that seems to be transmitted directly to the depths of its heart, like some kind of dark pulse, dormant in the depths of its soul place.And the only thing that can make this feeling recede and dissipate is the smell it smells on the eggshell and cushion.

Outside the bright incubator was a piece of silence and blackness. Even though it was facing a completely strange world, this cub still walked into this silence and darkness from a place with light.

[Hurry up and be born. 】

"Huh." As if responding to the gentle voice in memory, the cub slightly moved the tip of its tail and began its search.
