"Sir, do you need anything?"

A clerk came over to greet me.

She was wearing a green T-shirt with a large yellow sun pattern painted on the center of the T-shirt.

In the center of the sun is a picture of a human baby, smiling with his fingers in his mouth and looking innocent.

And this clerk is also a human being.

"I want to buy a Pet People type."

Liu Zheng said.

The clerk was a little surprised when he heard that he was here to buy a pet.

She thought Liu Zheng was here to deliver food.

But since she was a guest, her smile immediately became more sincere.

"Then you have come to the right place in our 'Sunshine Pet Store' pet store. We are a century-old store with our own independent breeding farm. We have always focused on cultivating the highest quality Pet People."

The clerk said enthusiastically.

"Where is your breeding farm?"

Liu Zheng took out the map.

"What are you doing?"

The clerk looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh, that's it. Our Bloodstained Restaurant employees plan to purchase a batch of Pet People class to help with the work, so we entrusted me to come out to inspect as a representative."

"This is the first time I have received such an important job, so I plan to go to the breeding farm to inspect your breeding environment after reading it here."

"If everything goes well, you will become a long-term supplier of our Bloodstained Restaurant employees."

Liu Zheng said very smoothly.

As a reporter, this ability to make up lies on the spot is a professional necessity.

"So that's it."

The clerk's smile became much more enthusiastic.

It goes without saying that Bloodstained Restaurant has a good reputation. Even in the remote frontiers of Metropolis, it has a bad reputation. Oh no, it is famous far and wide.

Being chosen as a client by Bloodstained Restaurant is a bad luck for eight lifetimes.

But as a customer, Bloodstained Restaurant is very fat.

Moreover, Bloodstained Restaurant can still accept goods that many other places dare not accept. You don't have to worry about the City Hall following the buyer's line to check.

He is the number one high-quality customer in Tianzi.

"Welcome to visit the breeding farm for inspection. Our breeding farm is at this location."

The clerk clicked on the map.

She still had a sense of confidentiality and did not point out the specific location.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Zheng was just asking casually.

If he has the ability to go to the breeding farm to cause trouble, then having a general direction is enough.

"If you want to go there, you can come to the store and find me, and I will take you there myself."

The clerk said enthusiastically.

The other shop assistants all cast envious and jealous looks.

Everyone knows how great the benefits will be from negotiating such a big deal. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step forward.

Although they can also share a little profit, they are definitely not as good as the first clerk who greeted me.

"What's your name?"

"You can just call me Xiaomei."

The clerk said sweetly, his voice much louder than before.

"Oh, so you are Xiaomei."

Liu Zheng was a little surprised that he found the real owner right away.

"Yes, sir, do you know me?"

"I don't know him, but I heard a colleague say that there is a very beautiful clerk named Xiaomei in the 'Sunshine Pet Store' pet store. I thought he was deceiving me, but it turned out to be true."

He said seriously.

"Sir, you are joking, I am not good-looking."

Xiaomei blushed.

"Would you like to go have a drink after get off work? Take my car."

Liu Zheng pointed to Ferrari outside and said.

"It's a little late for me to get off work."

Xiaomei's eyes are spinning.

"It's okay, good words are not afraid of being short, and beauty is not afraid of being late."

he said with a smile.

"You are really good at talking. I get off work at seven."

Xiaomei smiled even more.

"Okay."

As long as she can wait, Liu Zheng will definitely come to pick her up.

"By the way, do you have that particularly unruly Pet People type?"

he asked.

"No, the Pet People species we have here have been cultivated for more than ten generations. They are absolutely docile and loyal to their owners. At most, they have a lively personality."

When talking about work, the clerk immediately became serious.

"That's really awesome."

Liu Zheng praised, but his eyes were a little colder.

With a history of more than a hundred years and more than ten generations of breeding, one can imagine how young these Pet People breeders are.

Even incest and inbreeding are not uncommon.

"However, I just want a few unruly ones, preferably ones that dare to attack other Pet People species, and even dare to attack their owners. Do you have any here?"

he asked.

"No"

Xiaomei Before she could say anything, a wad of bills slipped into her collar.

"What are you doing? I'm not that kind of casual woman."

She said coquettishly.

"This is the price of work, and feelings are another price."

Liu Zheng whispered in her ear.

"Then what do you want that Pet People type for?"

The clerk also asked in a low voice.

"We are going to hold a human-fighting competition, and people from all departments will participate. The handicap can reach at least tens of millions. If you help me accomplish this, you will definitely benefit."

The hot breath from his mouth made the clerk's ears soften.

Of course, it may also be the effect of tens of millions of handicaps.

"Then, come with me."

She led Liu Zheng to a locked room.

After Human Face was recognized, the safety lock automatically opened, and the clerk pulled Liu Zheng into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a foul smell.

In the dim light, several pairs of cold and bloodthirsty eyes stared at the two of them, like a pack of vicious wolves that chose to devour each other.

Liu Zheng was aroused with goosebumps, but felt very happy.

Very good, this is the look he wants.

The clerk turned on the light, and everything in the room immediately appeared.

The sudden strong light stung these Pet People species that had not seen the sun all year round, and most of them closed their eyes subconsciously.

There was only one girl, about twelve or thirteen years old. Although her eyes were filled with tears and her eyelids were constantly trembling, she still stared at them with her teeth clenching loudly.

"What happened to her?"

Liu Zheng pointed at the girl and said.

"Oh, she was originally the star pet in this batch. She is the best in terms of physical fitness and intelligence."

"But something went wrong along the way, causing her to become seriously ill. After she recovered, her intelligence level dropped severely, and she looked more like a beast than a human being."

the clerk said.

"Beast."

He chewed on these two words and nodded.

Liu Zheng I read a sentence in a book and I always thought it was cool but I didn't really understand it.

It wasn't until he saw these Pet People classes that he truly realized the true meaning of this sentence.

If you lose your humanity, you will lose a lot; if you lose your animality, you will lose everything.

"What's her name?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The Pet People type sold does not have a name. It will be named after it is bought by the owner. This is the customer's pleasure and the customer's right."

"They only have numbers. This little mother's number is AWM1997."

the clerk said.

AWM, isn't that a Sniper Rifle model?

"Then your name will be Sniper Rifle."

Liu Zheng said.

"Are you going to buy her?"

"That's right, not only her, but also these Pet People ones, I want to buy them."

His fingers swept across all the cages, eliciting a roar of teeth.

"That's not cheap."

The clerk hesitated.

"How much?"

"This AWM1997 alone costs 100,000, and the others together cost about 300,000."

the clerk said.

"Why are they so expensive? Shouldn't these be defective products?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

"Handsome guy, you Bloodstained Restaurant are not the only ones who can organize fighting competitions."

The clerk winked at him.

"If you buy enough, we can also introduce you to Human Fighting League of Metropolis."

"That's it."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

No wonder the clerk believed his words so easily. It turned out to be because there was a precedent.

"But with them huddled in a cage like this, I can't tell if there's anything wrong with them."

He made an excuse.

"This is easy to handle. As long as you pay a small deposit first, I will let you inspect the goods."

the clerk said.

"Then please pay 10,000 first."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Ten thousand"

The clerk was a little hesitant.

Another wad of bills slipped into her collar.

"It's not impossible."

She changed her words.

"Lobby, let's arrange the venue for inspection."

After putting away the ten thousand yuan that Liu Zheng handed her, the clerk picked up the walkie-talkie on his waist and said.

"Received in the lobby."

The answer came over the intercom.

"Let's go, let's just go to the lobby and wait. These goods will be there soon."

the clerk said.

"OK."

Liu Zheng followed her back to the lobby and found that she had completely changed.

Not only was the door sealed with a large iron plate, but all the furnishings and pet cages were also removed.

It can be said to be quite efficient.

The clerk pressed the intercom with his intercom, and a pile of iron fences immediately went up around him, forming an octagonal cage.

She pressed it again, and the floor immediately collapsed, and eight cages rose from the ground. In the cages were the Pet People species she had just seen in the small room.

The clerk pressed it again, and the cage doors of the eight cages opened automatically, and those Pet People types walked out.

Surprisingly, instead of attacking each other, they gathered together around the girl and looked at Liu Zheng and the clerk coldly.

"Why don't they fight?"

he asked with a frown.

"These beasts are very united and will only attack us. But it doesn't matter, as long as we take some measures, they will become real beasts."

The clerk sneered and was about to press the button.

"There's no rush yet."

He stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What's wrong?"

The clerk looked at him doubtfully.

"I remember your name is Xiaomei, right?"

Liu Zheng said.

"That's right, you bad guy, did you forget someone's name so quickly?"

The clerk rolled his eyes at him.

"How could I forget such a nice name?"

One of his tentacles quietly wrapped around her waist.

"Still at work."

The clerk resisted verbally, but let him go physically.

"I was just thinking about a question."

"What's the problem?"

the clerk asked in a low voice.

"Look at this, does it look like the takeout you ordered?"

Liu Zheng's other tentacle carried the lunch box and lowered it in front of her.

"Ah!!!"

The clerk let out an earth-shattering scream, and even the Pet People species in the octagonal cage were startled by her.
