Pet King - Chapter 763

Everyone present and everyone absent all said what they felt. No one else, besides Zhang Zian himself, really believed his words––even Snowy. After all, the rewards that he provided were really too much; it was way over the worth of the Holy Cat statue—or at least that was what they feel.

“Mr. Store Manager, are you serious?” Snowy expressed that she couldn’t believe him.

“Of course I am.” Zhang Zian grabbed a Berlin Bear doll from behind the cashier counter and placed it right in front of her camera for the audience to see. “See this? This is the doll; it’s authentic and limited edition!”

Zhang Zian returned from Germany with many official souvenirs from the Berlin Film Festival, and of course, the most popular one out of them all was the Berlin Bear doll. But the dolls would not be given out so easily as they were quite big in size, so he could only bring back a limited number of them.

“Wow! What a cute doll!” Snowy focused the camera on the doll to let everyone take a better look.

The doll had a red triangular cloth on its neck and looked both silly and cute. It was sealed tightly in a transparent plastic back in the form of a gift and was enough to win the hearts of most young ladies.

“This one will be for you, Snowy, as a return gift for the carps you sent here during the Spring Festival,” Zhang Zian said generously, and repeated again, “Anyone who is able to provide a clue about the Holy Cat statue will be rewarded with the same doll and you can choose any one pet that is on sale in my shop.”

“Ah? Thank you Mister Store Manager! I’ll accept your gift then!” Snowy was pleasantly surprised. She gave a light bow and said her thanks.

The audience in the broadcast channel was immediately unbalanced.

“All the tuhao in this channel can’t even exchange Snowy’s thanks with a ten thousand dollar gift. This store manager is too crafty!”

“Looks like Stingy Store Manager is serious this time!”

“Yiiiiing. I also want a Berlin Bear Doll!”

“I still find it suspicious… is Stingy Store Manager not afraid that someone might prepare an identical statue to cheat the reward?”

Zhang Zian expressed his thoughts: how could anyone easily find an identical statue of the Holy Cat statue. Did he think that he was cheating a kid? Unless that person was able to bring over the original statue that was in the British Museum… if he was capable of doing that then Zhang Zian would admit his defeat.

“Hear that, everyone? Great rewards await!” Snowy smiled and said to her fans, “If any of you see the Holy Cat statue in Binhai City or its vicinity, remember to let us know immediately.”

The Berlin Bear doll was about 80 centimeters tall, 60 centimeters wide, and 50 centimeters thick. Snowy had to empty one hand to hug it in her arms. It was very inconvenient and affected her streaming, so she asked Lu Yiyun to help mail the doll back to the guard room in the villa area since the Amazing Fate Pet Shop had her address.

After they were done with the matter, Snowy said, “Another piece of good news for everyone––it’s also something like a preview for the next or next-next live stream: Amazing Fate Pet Shop is going to open up a branch next door! It will specialize in the sales of marine life with saltwater fish as its focus. When the time comes, Snowy will take everyone along to visit the Amazing Fate Aquarium to take a look at the mysterious, but also amazing, marine life!”

The audience in the broadcast channel blew up again!

“Ha? Sexual Harassment Store Manager has already screwed cats, screwed dogs, and now wants to screw fish too?” one exclaimed.

“Teddy Store Manager!” someone else said.

“The grass on the grave of the last idiot who dared to start an aquarium in Binhai City is already three feet tall!”

“Aye, is it finally fish now? My family keeps fish. I’ve always shuddered as I watch all of you stroke your cat and dogs!”

“I keep a bastard at home. Does a bastard count as a marine creature?”

“Not if it’s a bastoad!”

“Snowy, since it’s just next door, why wait until next time?”

Snowy waited for the messages on her screen to settle down a little before she answered. “It’s because the aquarium is not done with its renovation yet. Once it’s done, I will notify everyone. Today I plan to visit our Binhai City fish market with Mr. Store Manager. Have any of you been there?”

“Fish market… my house is right next to the fish market. But I’m at work now, or else I would have gone down to meet Snowy,” someone mentioned.

“You’re watching a live stream while you’re at work and you can even send a message? Does your company still need people?” another viewer responded.

“Haha, earning just barely enough to eat and wait until I die. What can I do other than laze around?”

“I’ve been to the fish market a few times. The water there feels very deep… the fish there are all so expensive, I don’t even know if they’re worth the price,” someone else chimed in.

“I got scammed by a fish market in the past. I wanted to save some trouble so I spent two to three thousand on an ecological tank, which they said could be left alone for years, but the fishes were all dead just after half a year…”

“Holy sh*t! Two to three thousand on a fish tank? Richly inhumane!”

Snowy stared at her screen and asked Zhang Zian, “Mr. Store Manager, what’s an ecological fish tank? What’s the difference between that and an ordinary fish tank?”

Zhang Zian answered, “An ecological fish tank is just a ruse––buying that is akin to paying for stupidity tax. Especially for saltwater fish, as the water’s PH value will decrease with time, making it acidic. Most fish require an alkaline environment which can only be solved by changing water.”

“I was actually despised by Store Manager. I shall cry until I faint in the toilet!”

“Who said the only solution was changing the water? I can just add some baking soda to balance it off right!”

“Don’t add baking soda! It’s better sour––just nice for eating fish with preserved vegetables!”

“But the water in the ecological tank does look clearer than those from an ordinary tank…”

Zhang Zian glanced over at the message, then answered, “That’s because the merchants would add algaecide into the ecological fish tank, suppressing the growth of algae. It will have the same effect if you buy an algaecide and add it in, too.”

“Fine then, I’ll just treat it as a lesson learned…” the viewer responded.

Snowy replied with, “Seems like there’s a lot to learn about keeping fish… the audience members that have fish at home or are interested in keeping them, remember not to leave! Let Snowy and Mr. Store Manager take you guys for a walk around the fish market and have your questions answered!”

Zhang Zian then said a few words to Lu Yiyun, Wang Qian, and Li Kun. He handed them all the things that needed to be done before he waved at Snowy and they left the pet stop one after another.

The fish market and the Amazing Fate Pet Shop were both in the Dongcheng district, so the distance between them was not far yet also not close.

Zhang Zian and Snowy stood by the entrance of the shop and had a discussion. Finally, they decided to stroll their way there and on the way, Zian could answer the questions of those interested in keeping fish.

After they left, on the Amazing Fate Pet Shop’s second floor, a small window that had the curtains down for a very long time suddenly had the curtains pulled open.

A beautiful and attractive face got close to the window. Its forehead was pressed tightly on the window glass with a few strands of dark green hair at its side. The water beads from its hair dripped down the glass and a blue eye as blue as the ocean stared closely at Snowy’s back—to be precise, it was curiously watching Snowy laughing and talking to her phone.

Until Zhang Zian and Snowy turned around the corner, where their figure was completely blocked by the walls, only then did the curtains come down again. Those walking on the street would not lift their heads up for no reason, so no one noticed that face that was clearly different from an Asian’s.
