After getting up in the morning, Zhang Zian routinely cleaned up the store.
While sweeping the floor, he heard the newscaster ’s standard Mandarin from the TV where Old Time Tea was sitting in front of.

”Recently, after receiving a tip from an enthusiastic citizen, the Public Security Bureau of Binhai City has brought a gang of dog-trappers who were committing crimes near Dongcheng District to justice.
Let ’s look at the detailed report brought by our journalist at the scene. ”

Zhang Zian carried his broomstick and stood beside Old Time Tea and watched the TV newscast with it.

On the television screen, the three dog-trapper suspects were lined up in handcuffs and squatted desperately in the corner.
In the room on the floor, there were the corpses of several dead dogs, along with the tools that were used to trap dogs.

A police officer was being interviewed by the journalist and gave a briefing on the usage of these tools and the process of the criminals ’ dog-trapping methods.

The picture on the TV screen changed and the journalist had arrived at the dog market.
The voice over illustrated that these stolen dogs were mainly resold to the dog meat restaurants or the dog market.
People were advised to be more cautious when selecting dogs to buy and not to choose stolen dogs.
They warned the public to purchase pet dogs from the regular pet shops or kennels.
Otherwise, if they bought a stolen dog, it would have to be impounded.

The camera switched back to the newsroom.
The female announcer reminded the audience.
”The Spring Festival is around the corner and many thieves have recently been and will continue to commit crimes.
We hope everyone can take care of their own belongings, including their cats and dogs.
When going out, please be sure to tie a leash to your pet and never let your pet leave your sight and be careful not to allow your pet to eat things off the ground.
Let ’s look at the next piece of news… ”

After a while, Ning Lan sent a selfie with her dog Tuan Tuan to Zhang Zian.

Lying in a bed in the pet clinic with a bottle of medical drip hanging above its right forelimb, Tuan Tuan seemed much better than yesterday.
Ning Lan was sitting beside the bed and placed her hand on Tuan Tuan ’s right forelimb to prevent it from moving around.
She also looked much better than yesterday.
Her dark circles had disappeared.
She was smiling with relief and made the ”V ” pose with her hand towards the camera.

She was very grateful to Zhang Zian for helping her find Tuan Tuan, and just as she had promised in her notice, she intended to transfer 10,000 Yuan to Zhang Zian as her appreciation for his help.

Zhang Zian wanted to receive the 10,000 Yuan, but he also knew that the credit should go to the police dog, Zhan Tian.
So, he suggested that Ning Lan keep the money to herself, but when she had time, she could invite her classmates to work as volunteers in Fu Tao ’s police dog nursing home to help Fu Tao take care of the retired police dogs there.

He felt that if Zhan Tian could speak, it would certainly agree with his solution.
Though Zhan Tian was mistakenly considered to be a gutless dog in the police dog nursing home, its affection for other police dogs was sincere.
That was why it could track down the smell of that retired German Shepherd stolen by the gang of dog-trappers.

The 10,000 Yuan could be used to cover the meals and travelling expenses for Ning Lan and her classmates.
After all, volunteering at a police dog nursing home in the countryside was tiresome and challenging.
If her classmates had to spend their own money to volunteer, probably no one would be willing to go.
Lying in bed playing on their cellphones was much more comfortable.

If an arranged trip to the police dog nursing home cost 1,000 Yuan, then the 10,000 Yuan was enough for Ning Lan and her classmates to volunteer ten times.

Ning Lan asked him the address of the police dog nursing home and without hesitation, agreed to volunteer.

Zhang Zian believed she would do it, but still kindly reminded her to be more careful.
That place was too remote, and she shouldn ’t go there without companions.

As for that German Shepherd they found in the criminals ’ vehicle yesterday, it was a pity that it died at a pet hospital last night.
But its owner was by its side before it died and probably died in peace.

”Good morning, Mr.
Store Manager. ” Lu Yiyun came to work as usual.
Though she rested at home yesterday, she seemed more listless than usual.
Perhaps she had stayed up all night to watch TV.

”Master, I heard that yesterday you showed your great power again by pushing a truck into a wall.
Is that true? ” A moment later, Wang Qian and Li Kun excitedly rushed into the shop and talked about the rumor they had heard.

”Nonsense! ” Zhang Zian impatiently threw the broomstick to them.
”Start working! And when will you take your make-up final exams? ”

They took over the brooms and said cheekily, ”Hey, about ten days later …
but you rest assured, Master.
Our teacher has underlined the key knowledge for us, and we ’ve heard that the inspection in the make-up exams will be less strict.
You know we can do it! ”

”Come, taste these, they are brought by our relatives from our hometown. ” They took out the local delicacy of their hometown from bags and gave them to Zhang Zian and Lu Yiyun.

Zhang Zian took the delicacies and asked them, ”Will you return to your hometown during the Spring Festival? ”

Lu Yiyun curiously opened the package, pinched a piece of the local delicacy and put it into her mouth.
She thought that Zhang Zian was asking her, so she waved her hand and replied, ”I won ’t. ”

Wang Qian and Li Kun actually did not want to go back to their hometown, but they had to because their parents wanted them to.

Zhang Zian counted the number of pets in his shop.
Considering that Wang Qian and Li Kun would be out of town during the Spring Festival, he decided not to purchase more pets from the pet breeding base for the time being, otherwise, he would not be able to take care of so many pets by himself.
He also wanted to enjoy the Spring Festival in a more relaxed state.

While joking and talking, Wang Qian and Li Kun were deftly cleaning up the cat litter and dog feces.

Zhang Zian found the bottle of disinfectant had run out, so he went back to the storage room on the second floor to get a new bottle.
Just then, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his phone to have a look.
It turned out to be the elfin detection information from the game of Pet Hunter.

[Game Tips]: A rare pet has been detected in your city.
Whether to go to capture the pet is the player ’s own decision.

[Game Tips]: The following is the information of the pet.

[Pet Type]: Elfin.

[Rarity]: Elite level.

[Capture difficulty]: Extremely difficult.

[Risk Level]: low.

Zhang Zian stared blankly at the ”difficult ” on his cellphone screen.

Extremely difficult to capture?

[Navigation Elfin]: Attention, players.
This elfin is an ethereal elfin that is extremely difficult to capture.
Besides, its Strength of Faith is constantly fading away.
It is estimated that this elfin only exists for a very short time.
Whether to capture this elfin is up to the discretion of the players.

Zhang Zian was even more surprised.
When he went to capture other elves before, the Navigation Elfin had never given such a solemn tip.
If he remembered correctly, this was the second time the Navigation Elfin used ”ethereal ” to describe the existence of an elfin.
The first time was for Galaxy.

He inexplicably felt that this elfin might share some similarities with Galaxy.
The ”capture difficulty ” of Galaxy was ”uncapturable ”, while this elfin was ”extremely difficult to capture ”.
Why would an elfin of a merely elite level be so difficult to capture?
