Nang Nang Wore Glasses? You Came to the Right Person
He learned from his conversation with Chen Xuanbai yesterday that Lin Yuan was currently working on a project about [Courier Bird].
He was quite surprised, and the first thing that came to his mind was, even with [Spirit Dew], Lin Yuan shouldn't be so poor that he has to research such low-level pet beasts, right?
However, he quickly refuted himself, saying that Lin Yuan's behavior and motives could not be judged by such a worldly perspective.
Although Liu Xing was not familiar with [Courier Bird], after all, he had always had a butler to take care of his daily life since he was a child.
But this was the first time he had ever heard of [Courier Bird] delivering goods to other pets.
"Sure, what are your plans?" Liu Xing asked.
"I have a young Courier Bird named Nang Nang. It's only been working for a week and hasn't been through the harsh realities of life yet."
"I want to take advantage of its relatively innocent nature and change the people it serves."
"The emotional bonds between pets are relatively pure. Having another pet specifically bring them things will bring happiness to most of them."
"What a talent!" Liu Xing gave a thumbs up. "Jinjin is a little shy, but she'll get used to it after a few more times."
"Zizi mainly loves to sleep, but it's okay, I can manage it with a little effort."
"My two contracted pets, Huohuo and Jingjing, are easy to deal with."
Liu Xing thought for a moment and continued, "However, I'll be starting school in about twenty days. If you still have any requests in this regard then, I can have the housekeeper handle it."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Liu Xing is still easy to talk to.
Actually, he had been thinking for the past two days about how to plan the delivery route for Yu Ning and Nang Nang.
The [Evolution Path] on their panels is marked "None," indicating that the methods prepared for other [Courier Bird] may not be the most suitable for them at present.
Lin Yuan guessed that the reason Nang Nang had achieved the "nothing for now" change so quickly was because the Customers it encountered during its first week of work were quite nice to it.
Before starting their official work, Courier Bird undergo at least two years of training, during which they learn that they should not have too much emotional connection with human Customers.
But what about Customers who keep pets?
Perhaps, in this way, the Evolution Path of the Nang Nang will be revealed sooner.
"Yes, I brought Nang Nang with me today. Let her get acquainted with your pet first."
I've also arranged the tasks that need to be done next.
After saying that, Lin Yuan summoned Nang Nang from a [Spirit-Dwelling Pouch]—he had specifically taken Nang Nang from the Breeding Pavilion when he sent Baishi to school.
As soon as the Nang Nang appeared, it caught Liu Xing's eye.
Why does this Courier Bird look a little different from what he remembers?
With such a big mouth, she's definitely got the body of a born deliveryman!
And she's wearing such big glasses, she looks kind of cute.
These glasses were carefully selected by Lin Yuan.
The main goal is to see if we can trigger Zizi's "mechanism" to allow Customers to "sign for the Nang Nang in person."
The following events proceeded smoothly.
Although Jinjin is shy, she's fine with other pets.
Liu Xing's two contracted pets, who were about the same age as Nang Nang, quickly became friends.
Even Zizi woke up.
Still half-asleep, it lingered a little longer on Lin Yuan and Nang Nang, realizing that it would be meeting this rather cute [Courier Bird] every day from now on.
Then it saw Liu Xing, whose eyes were sparkling, and felt that its owner seemed much more pleasing to the eye. But after looking at him for a few moments, it decided to go back to sleep.
The sweetest taste is in dreams!
"Your [Courier Bird] is quite charming; Zizi chatted with it for a good ten seconds!" Liu Xing's tone was a bit strange. "I don't get to chat with it for that long every day."
Lin Yuan:...
Are you jealous of a Courier Bird?
"Then I'll have to trouble you. It might be flying frequently between your house and mine for the next while, so I hope it won't disturb your family," Lin Yuan said.
"No problem, no problem, my housekeeper will talk to everyone about it." Liu Xing waved his hand dismissively. "Don't you still have two questions?"
Liu Xing straightened his chest slightly; as the senior, he could finally answer the questions of this knowledgeable junior.
"You mentioned to me before that you were involved in building this breeding base, and you just mentioned that you recently planned to expand it."
"I got the contact information for several Construction Crew recommended by Huo Yu a few days ago. I'm planning to expand my Pet Food Shop soon."
"The acquisition of nearby vacant shops and the application for land use approval from the alliance are already in progress."
"However, I don't know much about architectural design or pet enclosure design, so I wanted to ask you about it."
"Hehe, then you've come to the right person!" Liu Xing chuckled. "I, Liu, am not very talented, but I have seen many different kinds of pet breeding bases since I was a child."
"I've also taken design courses on my own and know quite a few experts in the field."
"Tell me your needs, I'll give you some suggestions, and then I'll send the design to our in-house architect. Once you have the drawings, you can simply hand them over to the Construction Crew."
"That's great!" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. "Just let me know how much the design fee is."
"Design fee?" Liu Xing asked, puzzled. "He's our Lineage's architect, so he'll just do whatever I suggest. I'm not the one paying his salary, so you don't need to worry about these small amounts."
"Come on, come on, let's discuss it! What do you want to change it to?" Liu Xing rubbed his hands together.
The two began to discuss.
Lin Yuan simply stated his thoughts, Liu Xing immediately offered different suggestions based on his experience.
Finally, a preliminary plan was finalized.
Centered around the original Yuanming Pet Food Shop, two nearby vacant shops were acquired, and additional floors were added.
On the vacant land, a new breeding base prototype has been built. Currently, two bases have been initially established: a breeding base for [Courier Bird] and a plant area breeding base. In the future, more [Purple Ghost Orchid] or other plant pets will be introduced.
Furthermore, based on Lin Yuan's description, Liu Xing also constructed preliminary new homes and spaces for Zilan, Linghuan, and Baishi.
They even set aside a space, saying they could prepare in advance for Lin Yuan's second contracted pet.
Looking at the densely packed concept drawings and plans, Lin Yuan had to admit that what Liu Xing had just said was no exaggeration.
"Isn't this a bit too luxurious?" Lin Yuan scratched his head.
"No, trust me, your shop will definitely be expanded in the future," Liu Xing said. "Luckily, your shop is in a relatively remote area in the suburbs, so the traffic around it isn't too heavy, which makes it easier to operate."
"I actually suggest you buy more land while it's still relatively inexpensive."
"If your Yuanming Pet Food Shop becomes successful and famous, it will raise the prices."
Lin Yuan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
"Alright, if you don't have any other ideas, I'll have the housekeeper give this drawing to the designer later, and they'll refine it even further."
"Come on, ask your next question. As a senior, it's an honor to help a junior!"
Liu Xing felt secretly pleased. He had tried to show off his extensive knowledge to Lin Yuan, but each time he ended up feeling like he was the one being taught.
Today, he finally felt like he was still acting like a senior student.
"My main pet will evolve in less than a month, so I need to prepare some materials of Commander Quality in advance. However, I currently lack sufficient permissions on the official Pet Beast Alliance, and I don't have the authority to purchase many materials."
"It's just a minor problem now, but it'll probably get more complicated later."
"I'd like to ask if you have any ideas," Lin Yuan asked sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing's expression became even more smug.
"Hehe, then you've come to the right person!"
