CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58 "DOG PETTING GUIDE" CHAPTER 1
"Don’t be angry anymore."
Qian Qi tugged on Flame Dog’s pointy ears, starting to coax, "As long as you agree to make a contract with me, I’ll control the Fire Qilin Fruit for you... um, one per week!"
Ah Tu gave her a cool glance.
Ah Tu was a "dog", not understanding what she was babbling about anyway, it was really angry and quite sulky at the moment.
The anger was because it got hit on the balls, and the sulkiness was because it had just won first place in a race, which should have been something to brag about in the dog circles, but because Qian Qi rode on its back during the race, other Flame Dogs utterly scorned it.
Once it got back to the Magic Beast Storage Room and the word got out, it would surely be ostracized.
It was already ugly enough with its hair shedding, and now it became the disgrace of the dog circle, there’s no reason Ah Tu shouldn’t be furious!
Ah Tu turned its head away, crossed its four legs beneath it, lay on the ground, and let out a cold "huff" with closed eyes.
No way to coax it, it can’t be coaxed in this lifetime, unless she rides all the Flame Dogs around the Beast Square ten times, then maybe it’ll be fine!
Qian Qi saw it wasn’t biting on any bait, and couldn’t help scratching the back of her head.
"What to do now..." This dog is much harder to coax than she imagined.
Can’t just give it a shoulder throw, can I? Wouldn’t that be too straightforward?
[Oh~ My dearest Boss Qian~ Are you troubled by the current situation and don’t know what to do?]
The system panel was stuck close to her face, fearing she wouldn’t see the text:
[When in doubt, ask the system, the system will help you solve everything!]
Qian Qi: ???
What does it want now?
[Dearie, do you want to win Flame Dog’s heart? Do you want it to voluntarily contract with you? Do you want Flame Dog to be crazy for you, mad for you, pound the wall hard for you?]
[Scan the QR code below and pay 2.5 million to get the "Dog Petting Guide", capturing Flame Dog’s body and soul~]
On the blue panel, numerous little arrows frantically pointed towards the QR code at the bottom, urging Qian Qi to act rather than think, quickly fork out the money and make the transfer.
Qian Qi: ...
She grabbed the blue panel, took two quick steps back, and with a large swing of her arm, threw it in a bowling-ball-throwing gesture.
Damn you!
2.5 million?
Are you implying I’m a 250? Do you really think I’m foolish enough to spend 2.5 million on your stupid "Dog Petting Guide"?!
Spit! Dream on!
The system drew a bright arc across the sky: ???
Who am I? Where am I? What was I supposed to do?
It thought that Qian Qi was really interested in Guardian Beasts, willing to spend a fortune on its carefully recommended "Dog Petting Guide", yet she discarded it so easily?
And just for money?
Just for a few stinking bucks?
The system got angry, flew back in front of Qian Qi, stuck firmly to her face: [Do you have any idea how amazing I am? I, the system, know everything! I know the secrets of the entire universe!]
"Then what is the origin of the universe?" Qian Qi asked.
System: ...
[This question requires a payment of 3 trillion trillion yuan.]
Qian Qi: Psh.
The system clicked its tongue: [How about this, give me 100 yuan, and I’ll let you try to read a bit.]
Believing that after trying out the "Dog Petting Guide", she would certainly cry and admit her mistake, begging it for another chance.
Qian Qi combed her nest-like hair, also clicked her tongue, "How about, I’ll cut it down by ten thousand, buy the "Dog Petting Guide" for 250 yuan, and then I’ll admit I’m a fool."
For the money, her dignity is up for sale!
System: ???
You’ve really got your principles, huh!
[2 million!] the system gritted its teeth, [No less! I’ll throw in a little gift for you as well!]
Qian Qi pondered earnestly, 2 million was somewhat acceptable, the system generally didn’t rip people off, the "Dog Petting Guide" should be a valuable item.
Moreover, she was curious about what kind of small gift the system would include.
"Alright~" Qian Qi poked the Light Brain and transferred 2 million to the system.
[Ding—Your "Dog Petting Guide" has arrived~ Please check it out~]
A white-covered book appeared on the blue panel, with the big words "Dog Petting Guide" on it. Qian Qi curiously reached out and tapped it, suddenly a sort of spiritual power thing penetrated into her brain, transmitting the book’s contents into her brain area.
"Dog Petting Guide" Chapter 1 - "How to Make Your Dog More Flexible?"
’Dog Three is a perpetual bachelor dog, always living alone, keeping an empty house, until one day, his owner brought back a female dog, and the two dogs began to live an unrestrained life.
But soon, the dog couple suddenly became cold with each other, especially Dog Three, who moped around all day, unable even to eat.
The owner, eager to have puppies soon, tried everything, but couldn’t make the two dogs reconcile, utterly at a loss, had to seek help from a pet hospital.
After the doctor’s diagnosis, the owner finally found out the problem, it turned out that Dog Three was despised for not being flexible enough to give his wife the desired pose, hence became withdrawn.
Thus, after a session of bone-opening massage from the doctor, Dog Three gained a flexible body, reconciled with his wife, and continued their unrestrained life.
So, what was this bone-opening massage method used by the doctor? First... ’
Qian Qi: ...
This book, doesn’t look very wholesome...
She looked at the blue panel again and found a small 18X restriction mark at the bottom right corner of the "Dog Petting Guide".
Qian Qi: ...
Darn it, it makes me even more interested.
Chapter one content had already entered her brain, Qian Qi waited but didn’t find the content of the second Chapter.
What’s going on? Where’s the second Chapter?
She poked at the book on the panel and found that the "Dog Petting Guide" turned a page, it said: "To unlock the content of the second Chapter, please scan the QR code below and pay 500 thousand yuan."
Qian Qi: ???
Just as Qian Qi was about to stomp the system underfoot, it fled swiftly.
Hahahahaha, stupid Qian Qi, didn’t expect that did you!
You’ve got your Zhang Liang strategy, but I’ve got my climbing techniques!
Trying to battle me, the system~ you’re still green!
Qian Qi was almost fuming with rage, she never imagined, this system was even more cunning than she was, daring to sell her Chapter by Chapter!
This grudge, she noted down!
Qian Qi glared viciously at the nearby Ah Tu, so, next...
Ah Tu suddenly shivered, a mysterious sense of crisis prompted it to open its eyes abruptly, then it saw Qian Qi reaching out her hands, grabbing its neck of destiny.
Ah Tu: ???
Again?
"Where is it..." Qian Qi groped along Ah Tu’s neck incessantly, when she found those two points, the ’bone-opening massage’ content in her brain manipulated her hands like a ghost, precisely giving Ah Tu’s neck a twist.
"Crack—"
A very crisp sound, Ah Tu hadn’t even reacted.
It tilted its head.
Hmm? What was that thing that just "cracked"?
Qian Qi grasped Ah Tu’s front paw, another "crack" sound was heard.
Ah Tu: ???
?????????
What? What on earth is it? Why does it feel so good?
Why does it feel like my whole soul has been washed and purified?
