Dream Pet Shop

In the incubator in the study room on the second floor of Dream Pet Store, the two pet eggs that had been lying quietly for a long time have undergone a slight change.From the outside of the eggshell it doesn't look much different, but the little guy inside has opened his eyes.

The small round eyes turned around, and the small hand touched the smooth inner wall of the eggshell, then suddenly clenched his fists, closed his eyes and exerted force: "Emm..."

A sharp thorn suddenly pokes out from the surface of the originally flawless pet egg in the incubator, followed by "Bo, Bo, Bo..." One, two, three... more and more thorns poke from the inside of the eggshell When it came out, there was a crack on the smooth surface of the eggshell, and then there were more and more cracks, and finally a gap was exposed.

The thorns that were poked out quickly retracted, and the cracked pet egg began to shake, as if being hit by the little guy inside, and within two hits, the egg shell was completely broken, and a small thorn ball rolled out of the egg out.

The bottom of the incubator was covered with a layer of velvet blanket. The small thorn ball rolled twice, and one thorn was caught by the velvet blanket. , suddenly opened, revealing a pair of round peas eyes, soft belly and slender hands and feet.

The little hands and feet fumbled in the air a few times, trying to turn over, but failed.It had no choice but to roll itself into a thorn ball again, roll around in the incubator and reopen it, and this time it was finally able to move freely.

The little sparkling eyes began to look around, and the little spiny ball turned around in the incubator, only to find that there was nothing but the carpet under its feet.

It stretched out its little hand to touch its belly, and there was actually a bag growing on that soft, pink belly. The little spiny ball looked down into the empty bag, and suddenly became nervous.Then it glanced at the blanket under its feet, and began to stuff the blanket into its small bag little by little. After a while, the whole blanket was stuffed into the small bag.

The little spiny ball patted its belly contentedly, and began to look around again. Suddenly, the movement in the incubator next door attracted its attention.

The little spiny ball hurriedly started looking for a way to get out. It saw a round hole on the top of the incubator. It pulled the blanket out of the pocket on its belly bit by bit, and put the blanket over the hole with its little feet. outside, and then grabbed the blanket and crawled out.The first thing after climbing out was to stuff the blanket into the small pocket again.

The little thornball looked into the incubator next door, and suddenly his eyes lit up. There is a big egg over there!

It jumped into the air excitedly, spread its limbs, then landed firmly on the incubator next to it, and then jumped into it without hesitation.

The little guy in this pet egg in the incubator is still struggling desperately, trying to break out of the shell, and has no idea that an "uninvited guest" has come to his incubator.

Seeing the egg shaking and shaking, the little prickly ball began to itch. It tried to tear open the small pocket on its stomach with one hand, and with its two feet in the other hand, desperately pushed the pet egg into its arms drag.Then in the blink of an eye, the huge pet egg was actually put into that small pocket by it.

The pink and tender belly of the little spiny ball swelled a little, it stretched out its little hand to pat it, and narrowed its eyes happily.

Xia Ji, who was prompted by the system, hastily took two pet growth supplements, preparing to welcome the newborn pet baby.He pushed open the door of the study and rushed to the incubator impatiently, but only saw a pile of eggshells in the first incubator.

"?" Xia Ji was busy for a while, where is my pet baby?

He hurriedly looked at the incubator on the other side, and found a small thorn ball squatting inside, and he immediately walked over in surprise.

"Wow! Is it a baby hedgehog this time?"

[Congratulations to the host for successfully hatching a rare pet-pocket hedgehog!In the high-level world, pocket hedgehogs are very popular pets!For details, please refer to the "Plane Pet Encyclopedia" for the host. 】

It was only then that Xia Ji remembered the encyclopedia he had bought at a high price, and it finally came in handy this time.He looked at the little guy in the incubator, and silently said "pocket hedgehog" in his heart, and an introduction about this pet immediately appeared in front of him.

[Pocket hedgehog, a rare pet.Named for the natural pocket in its belly, this pet has a unique ability - infinite space.The small pocket on the abdomen of the pocket hedgehog will expand as it grows, and will become a powerful assistant in the owner's life.Reminder: Pocket hedgehogs should be raised in a special independent space when they are young. Because of their greedy nature, most of them are born with fetishism and hoarding. Please pay special attention to the breeders. 】

"Infinite space? Is it so powerful! But... what the hell are fetishes and hoarders?" Xia Ji looked at it confusedly.

Xia Ji happily looked at the cute little guy in the incubator, and the little guy also found it, and his round eyes immediately turned into crescents, and he stretched out his little hand towards Xia Ji in the incubator to hug him.

Xia Ji's heart was about to sprout, and he immediately reached into the incubator, intending to hug the little thorn ball out.

"Oh!" Xia Ji forgot that it was a hedgehog, and immediately screamed after being stabbed.

Xia Ji was worried, how could he hug her so much?

The little spiny ball was still in the incubator with its hands outstretched and its head up, waiting for Xia Ji to hug it. When Xia Ji retracted his hands, his little face was suddenly disappointed.

Xia Ji hurriedly comforted it: "Don't worry, Dad will come to hug you right away." He looked around to find something that could prevent it from being pricked, but he couldn't find anything suitable after looking around the room.

Xia Ji caught a glimpse of the blanket on the bottom of the incubator, and immediately reached into the incubator again, carefully wrapped the thorn ball in the blanket, and then gently hugged it out.

Little Thornball found himself wrapped in a blanket and couldn't touch his father's hand, and felt a little aggrieved immediately.

Xia Ji held the little thorn ball in front of his eyes, and the little thorn ball was lying on his back in the blanket, very well-behaved.Xia Ji sighed, although it hurts a little, it doesn't affect its cuteness at all.

Xia Ji saw the small pouch on the little prickly ball's belly, stretched out a finger and pressed it lightly, and said in surprise, "Is this the pouch? It looks so small."

"Hahahahahaha..." The little prickly ball seemed to be ticklish, and suddenly laughed.

When Xia Ji heard that the laughter was no different from that of a child, he immediately asked the system: "Can pocket hedgehogs also talk?"

[According to the information in "Plane Pet Encyclopedia", pocket hedgehogs can talk, and when they grow to a certain extent, they can also transform into adults. 】

Xia Ji immediately smiled at the little prickly ball: "Okay, let's look forward to the day when you grow up and transform into a human being, and then you should not be prickly."

Xia Ji took out a pet growth agent and planned to feed it to the little thornball. The little thornball's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the test tube. The little thornball looked very funny.Xia Ji held back a smile and handed the test tube to its mouth. The little spiny ball immediately hugged the test tube with hands and feet, sticking out its tongue and licking the growth agent with relish.

Looking at the other pet growth agent in his hand, Xia Ji remembered that another pet had also hatched!But where did that pet go?

After drinking the pet growth agent in his hand, the little thorn ball saw that there was another one in Xia Ji's hand. He immediately widened his eyes, stretched out his little hand, and shouted: "Mine! Mine!"

Xia Ji took the pet growth agent away, and comforted it: "Little thorn ball, I will drink the growth agent every day from now on, but this one is for another baby."

The little prickly ball didn't listen, its little hands and feet flailed in the air, repeating: "Mine! Mine!"

"Okay, good boy, I'll get it for you in a while." Xia Ji comforted the little thorn ball, while holding it up and looking around the room: "It's strange, where did the other one go?"

Logically, this should not happen, because the incubator is placed in the study, and Xia Ji usually takes care to close the door of the study to prevent the newborn pets from running around.After Xia Ji searched around the room to no avail, he planned to go downstairs to ask Long Wei for help.

When Xia Ji came downstairs with the little prickly ball, Long Wei was training the new Teddy in the store. This Tai Ritian was really arrogant when he first arrived, and dared to hug Long Wei's legs. Being abused by Long Wei's aura, Xia Ji glanced at the loveless Teddy lying in the cage, and mourned for it for half a second.

"Brother Long, this is a newly hatched pet, a pocket hedgehog, isn't it cute." Xia Ji showed Long Wei the little thorn ball.

Long Wei glanced at the little guy, and said expressionlessly, "It's cute if it doesn't cause trouble."

"Speaking of troubles, there really is one." Xia Ji said hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Long Wei asked him.

"The one born just now should have two pets, but I couldn't find the other one in the room." Xia Ji was a little worried: "It couldn't be that my room door wasn't closed properly, and it ran out, right?

Long Wei comforted: "Don't worry, look for it first."

So Xia Ji handed the little thorn ball to the dormouse to take care of. He and Long Wei searched all the rooms on the second floor carefully, but they still didn't find any trace of the pet.

The two searched the first floor again, and after confirming that there were no newborn pets anywhere in the store, Xia Ji began to panic: "Isn't it really running out? What should I do?"

Long Wei closed her eyes and tried to feel if there was any strange pet smell around her, but she didn't feel anything.If even he can't perceive it, then there is only one possibility left.

"It's possible that the hatching failed." Long Wei said.

"Failed?" Xia Ji's eyes widened.

Long Wei nodded: "Well, the success rate of hatching pet eggs is not [-]%, and sometimes hatching failures will occur."

A pile of broken eggshells in the incubator flashed in Xia Ji's mind, and he suddenly became sad: "Could it be that the hatching really failed? How could this be..."

"We can't control this kind of thing, don't be sad, there will be new pets hatching." Long Wei patted him on the shoulder.

"Hmm..." Xia Ji responded, but still couldn't help being disappointed.

……

In the kitchen on the first floor, Ah Feng and the Dormouse are watching the newborn pet baby.

The Dormouse prepared milk and biscuits for the little Thornball, and the little Thornball lay on its back in the blanket, happily opening its mouth and waiting to be fed.

"The new one looks delicious." Ah Feng looked at the little prickly ball, touched a piece of biscuit and put it in his mouth.

As a result, the little Thornball who was eating the biscuit with relish immediately widened his eyes, pointed at the biscuit in Ah Feng's mouth, and shouted angrily: "Mine! My! My!"

Ah Feng was taken aback, but had no choice but to take out the biscuit that had been stuffed into her mouth, and gave it back to the little prickly ball.The little thorn ball took it and quickly stuffed it into the small pocket on his belly, and then began to happily nibble on the little biscuit in his hand.

Ah Feng said depressedly: "You are so stingy."

The Dormouse taught it: "There are still many biscuits, and you can't eat the ones that others have bitten."

The little thorn ball creaked and gnawed on the biscuit, but couldn't hear anything.

Ah Feng stared at the thorns on the back of the little thorn ball, feeling so miraculous, she couldn't help touching it, "Oh!", but her finger was pricked.

Ah Feng looked at her bleeding fingers and said angrily, "It's not cute at all with such a prickly hand."

The Dormouse hurriedly said: "Who told you to touch it, you go to the baby mermaid, it will give you a scale and it will be fine."

Ah Feng frowned and went out to find the baby mermaid, thinking, Dad would definitely not like such a tricky little thing!

The Dormouse looked at the little prickly ball tirelessly gnawing and gnawing, his little face was puffed up, and he couldn't help sighing, "You really can eat."

While the Dormouse turned away to go to work, Thornball stuffed all the biscuits that were left on the plate into his pocket.

The Dormouse came over to see that the plate was empty, and asked it with a freshly baked cake, "Have you eaten all of them?...do you want some cake?"

"Mine! Mine!" cried the little Thornball, and began to see again.

……

Because the pet eggs failed to hatch, Xia Ji was not in a good mood all day long. Seeing that the little thorn ball seemed to get along well with the Dormouse and Ah Feng, he gave the little thorn ball to them to take care of them.

At night, the Dormouse carried the little thorn ball to his and Ah Feng's room to sleep.Because the Dormouse and Dormouse can transform into adults, they need a room to store their clothes and daily necessities, etc., so Xia Ji specially arranged a room for them, but when they go to sleep at night, Afeng and Dormouse still get used to changing back to their original appearance , so that the bed will appear very spacious.

Ah Feng wrapped the little thorn ball tightly with a towel, and kept it far away from herself, fearing that it would prick it when she was sleeping.

The Dormouse fell asleep as soon as it touched the bed. At this time, it had already got under the quilt, and there was a warm light shining inside.

"Warning you, don't move around while sleeping." Ah Feng seriously warned the little prickly ball before turning off the light in the room and falling asleep.

In the dark room, only the even breathing of the Dormouse and Ah Feng could be heard quietly.

The ball of thorns suddenly opened its bright eyes, turned over quietly, shook the thorns on its back, loosened the towel, and slowly stuffed it into the small pocket.

"Hey hey." The little thorn ball covered his mouth and laughed excitedly, and then started its adventure in the room.

It closed its eyes, sniffed in the dark, and soon smelled a sweet smell.The little spiny ball opened its eyes, and crawled to the table looking for the smell. The drawer of the table was not closed properly, and it got in through the gap.

There were a bunch of messy gadgets in the drawer, and the little spiny ball was the first to find something that exuded a sweet smell, and there was a thin stick on the round one.The little spiny ball couldn't wait to bite open the plastic bag on the surface, licked it, and found it was so sweet and delicious!And there was more than one in the drawer, and the little spiny ball immediately stuffed the rest into the small bag with bright eyes.

In addition to sweet and delicious food, there are also some gadgets that I don’t know what to do.The little Dormouse picked up a bow, held it up and looked at it by the moonlight, and thought it was cute, so he put it in his pocket too.There are also coins, glass beads, dolls...all of them are put into the small pocket on the stomach!

"My! My! Hee hee hee hee hee hee!" The little spiny ball laughed in the dark, it went around the room, put all the things it liked into its pockets, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the door of the room was closed Close, so slipped out again.

Little Thornball squatted on the floor, looking at the long corridor and many rooms in the darkness, trembling with excitement.

……

The next morning, Ah Feng was woken up by being stabbed...

It rubbed its sore buttocks and looked back, the towel on the little prickly ball had long since disappeared. The prickly little guy was sleeping on his back, and he didn't know what dream he had, he was still shaking his legs excitedly .

Ah Feng protested: "I will never sleep with it again tonight."

"Hey? Where did my toothbrush go?" Since the Dormouse took the class of "Pet School", he knew that human beings need to brush their teeth every morning, so they asked Xia Ji for a toothbrush and toothpaste, and they would brush their teeth every morning.

"We're pets brushing our teeth." Ah Feng didn't care. She changed into an adult and changed into a waiter's overalls. She opened the drawer to find a bow tie, but couldn't find it after a long time. "Strange, where is my bow tie?"

Ah Feng opened the drawer, was shocked, and broke down: "Oh my God!!! All the lollipops I saved are gone!!"

It was only after everyone woke up that they realized that there were still many things missing.

Ah Feng: "Why is there a spoon missing from the custom tableware?"

Dormouse: "Huh? Where's the eggbeater in the kitchen?"

Xia Ji: "Strange, where did I put the ipad?"

"..." Long Wei realized that he only had one pair of shoes left, so he had to come downstairs barefoot.

Xia Ji found Long Wei's flip flops, and asked strangely, "Why did so many things get lost in the store in one night? Could it be that there were thieves? But the stolen things are too strange."

Long Wei also felt that something was wrong and told Xia Ji to be more vigilant.

The lollipop that Ah Feng had saved for a long time was stolen, and she sulked all day long.

The little prickly ball woke up and started to eat and eat again. Ah Feng saw that it was so greedy and slept in her room last night, so she couldn't help but start to doubt it, and asked it: "New here, did you steal it last night?" Eat my lollipop?"

"Bajibaji..." Little Thornball concentrated on eating and couldn't hear anything.

Ah Feng was restless. Seeing how delicious it was, she wanted to take a bite too, but just as she picked up a piece, the little spiny ball immediately opened her eyes and shouted: "Mine! Mine!..."

"Can't even take a bite?!" Ah Feng got angry!

The little thorn ball didn't care, and quickly stuffed the leftovers into his pockets.

Ah Feng had an idea, just like this selfish little guy, so he secretly took a red pepper from the counter in the kitchen and put it in the food.

The little thornball didn't look at it at all, and stuffed it all into his pocket, suddenly feeling uncomfortable in his stomach.

It twisted on the spot, "emm..." and suddenly started spitting things out, some from its mouth, some from the small pocket on its stomach.

Ah Feng immediately panicked, thinking that she had caused a catastrophe.But the little thorn ball spit out more and more things, and there were all sorts of strange things. Ah Feng actually saw the lollipops he had saved in a pile of things!

Ah Feng shouted in surprise: "Sure enough, you stole it!"

But before it was surprised, it saw a pet egg spit out from the pocket of the little thornball.

The author has something to say: Little Thorn Ball: "Mine! Mine! It's all mine!"

Xia Ji: Damn, this child is difficult to educate!
