Chapter 8

The master was stopped and looked at him. Qiao tilted his head and smiled.

The owner picked him up and placed him in front of him, shaking him slightly as if to check his weight.

He shouldn't be heavy.

Qiao glanced at his owner's expression but couldn't discern anything. Most pet owners want their pets to be healthy and strong, so he needed to eat more in order to make his owner like him more.

The host family is so wealthy, there shouldn't be any concern about them eating him out of house and home.

The owner patted him and then gestured for him to follow, and Joe immediately became happy.

Indeed, you have to take the initiative to have more opportunities.

Qiao followed him into the study. He looked at the entire row of bookshelves in the study and was somewhat tempted. He examined the books, but he didn't recognize any of the words on them.

He knew from looking at various landmark stores and brand-name shops on the street that he was truly born into this world as an illiterate person.

However, it would be quite a terrifying thing if a pet could read.

He would think about the opportunity to learn to read later. He looked at his master, who had already started sitting at the table dealing with things. So he brought himself in just to keep him company.

Since his master did not restrict his movements, he began to explore the study. The study was large and divided into three rooms. There were some high-tech instruments that he did not recognize and did not know their functions.

However, he discovered a wardrobe, and his mind immediately started working.

He opened the wardrobe and saw a row of shirts, uniforms, and other clothes, many of which were the same.

There's also a row of shoe cabinets filled with custom-made leather boots, many of which are the same style as the owner's everyday wear.

It seems the owner is someone who doesn't like too much change, as all the clothes they wear are the same style.

Joe looked at the shirts inside, chose the outermost one, and put it on. The shirt was too big, giving him the feeling of a child wearing an adult's clothes.

The buttons were large and easy to fasten. He had just fastened one button when he heard his owner's voice behind him.

Qiao was startled and stared at her master with innocent eyes.

He could guess what his master had said. He heard the word "Modo," which must have been a call to him, probably something like, "Joe, what are you doing?"

Joe also said, "I want to get dressed."

He gestured as he spoke, showing him how to button his shirt.

Ji Fang reached out to take off Ling Mu's clothes, but Ling Mu resisted. The little man clung to the clothes tightly and refused to let go. Ji Fang could actually see a stubborn and persistent expression on the little man's face.

Okay, since it wants to wear them, let's give them to it.

As soon as Ji Fang let go, he saw it start to button up quickly, then buttoned it up wrong, making the shirt crooked, so it unbuttoned it and started buttoning it up again from the beginning.

Ji Fang's originally expressionless face was amused by the little guy's clumsy movements, and a smile appeared on his face.

Qiao also happened to look up and stared at the handsome face with a murderous and dangerous aura, and was somewhat stunned.

The Cohens are indeed superior to humans, as can be seen from their appearance. Although they have vertical pupils, they are almost identical to humans in other aspects, and they possess taller and stronger physical attributes.

Moreover, when he came into this world, he saw almost no Cohen people who were particularly ugly.

Is it because their technology is so advanced that they've done genetic selection?

So, the previous humans were eliminated and became primitive humans as pets?

Joe's thoughts wandered wildly, and to the Cohen people, he was incredibly cute and adorable.

Ji Fang was no exception. He began to think that raising a primitive human wasn't so troublesome. He was originally worried that this primitive human would cause trouble in his study, but he didn't expect that it would wear his clothes.

Joe snapped out of his daze and saw his master reach out to help him button his clothes. He breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally no longer naked and could have clothes to cover himself.

With the owner's tacit approval, he wanted to push his luck and tentatively approached the shoe cabinet, pointing to a pair of shoes and indicating that he wanted to put them on.

The owner's shoes felt like boats; he definitely couldn't wear them.

Ji Fang naturally did not agree to such an unreasonable request.

The owner pushed him out and then pointed to the sofa, telling him to sit on it.

Then, for the rest of the afternoon, Joe lay on the sofa, keeping his owner company as he worked.

To outsiders, the two people living in the same place seem to live in perfect harmony, without disturbing each other.

Although he was allowed to accompany his owner to work, he still went back to his pet room to sleep at night.

The next day, Joe also discovered that his owner had bought him pet clothes and shoes that fit him well, just like the ones Ruwei had worn before.

Fortunately, my owner prefers dark colors and didn't buy any cute or adorable clothes.

The robot Ling Yu received the package and wanted to dress him, but Qiao also took it and quickly dressed himself. Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw his master, he said in a slightly exaggerated way, "Our Ling Mu can actually dress himself without any training. He is really too smart."

Ji Fang had never raised a Primal Human before, nor did he know much about what a pet Primal Human should be like. However, Wei Liangguan had said that it was smart, so it seemed that it was indeed very smart, at least smarter than Wei Liangguan's.

He looked at Ling Mu dressed in black and was quite satisfied.

Joe also accompanied his master to work, observing how he worked. The blue screen was always on, and sometimes he didn't say anything, but his eyes and expressions were constantly changing.

He guessed that the Cohens might communicate without making a sound, similar to exchanging ideas through mental energy.

The implanted devices on their wrists are likely chip receivers, which can be used to handle many things. He observed some Cohen people using them for payments and taking photos when he was homeless.

Sometimes, the owner would go to the room with high-tech equipment, where a very realistic holographic scene would be displayed as the equipment was running.

The battle scenes, the various weapons and soldiers in the army appear instantly, just like in real life.

As expected, the master was from the military, and Joe was also amazed by these high-tech gadgets.

How can I learn the written language of the Cohen people?

Joe also fell into deep thought.

Based on his current understanding of the primitive people's situation, they are not that intelligent. If we take Lu Wei as the standard, the primitive people should not have reached the level of being able to read and control the technology here.

Therefore, he needs to be extra careful about his behavior. Even his intelligence has its limits, so that the Cohen people don't think he's some kind of monster.

Joe also felt that they should take it one step at a time. First, they needed to gain their master's trust, and then their relationship could deepen over time.

That way, even if we discover some of his irrational behavior someday in the future, we won't think much of it because he's our own pet.

Joe would also tentatively take a pen, a flag, or some small items from his master's desk while he was working, and then put them back in their original place without damaging them.

At first, the owner would stop him, but later, when he realized that he wasn't causing any damage, he stopped bothering with him.

Then, when Joe stood on the stool and tried to pick up a book, he was sternly stopped by his owner.

Joe had no idea how precious paper books were in this world.

Ji Fang grabbed the little guy off the stool and said sternly, "Ling Mu, you're not allowed to touch these books, do you hear me!"

Joe already knew that when he called himself "Modo," it was a warning to him.

He obediently stopped touching those books.

Joe had assumed that the bond and trust between him and his owner would gradually develop over time, but the owner's sudden departure left Joe somewhat bewildered.

Joe also discovered that the two people were indeed robots, just as he had thought. He saw with his own eyes the master shut down the two robots, press the switch on the robots' chests, replace the energy, and restart them.

Then the owner began packing his things, dressed neatly, and prepared to leave on the airship.

After getting ready, Joe saw his owner bring over a cage. Was he going to send him away?

He knew very well that his master was a soldier and that there seemed to be an urgent mission. He didn't think he would be taken along by his master.

It's highly likely that he wanted to send himself away.

Qiao guessed correctly; Ji Fang was instructing the guard captain, Li Cheng, on some matters: "I don't have time to care for Yuan. You should find him a good home."

A rare anomaly occurred at the border. He was going to the border to clear out the alien beasts and wouldn't be back for a while. Even though he had never raised a primitive human before, he knew that primitive humans needed companionship.

He didn't want to return to find the original person dead.

Given the actual conditions, keeping a human as a pet is not suitable for him. In order to avoid abusing the human, it would be better to give him away.

Li Cheng thought of General Wei Liangguan and asked, "General Wei seems to like the Yuan people quite a bit, why don't we give them to him?"

Ji Fang recalled that Wei Liangguan had previously shown interest in this dog. He even took his own dog with him when going on missions. Ji Fang always thought that this was a waste of time and a lack of the dignity of a commander-in-chief!

The ability to soothe emotions by using the original person's scent indicates a lack of self-control and regulation. A qualified soldier should be able to adapt to any situation!

This was also his true reason for not wanting to give the original to him.

Wei Liangguan is also going on an expedition this time, and the situation is serious. It would be really inappropriate for Wei Liangguan to bring two soldiers with him.

Ji Fang frowned and said, "He already has one, so why look for someone else?"

Li Cheng replied, "Yes!"

Seeing his master's subordinates trying to catch him with a cage, Joe panicked. He had already read from his master's emotions that he wanted to abandon him.

At that moment, Joe had a strong premonition that he was going to abandon him, and he had to take action.

Qiao's mind went blank for a moment, and he instinctively threw himself into his owner's arms, hugging him tightly. He refused to be locked in the cage.

He kept saying, "No, I don't want to go!"

Li Cheng was also in a bit of a predicament. He wanted to get the beast off General Ji Fang, but he found that the beast was quite strong. The two struggled, which made Ji Fang's face turn cold.

He bent down, grabbed Qiao Ye under his armpits, and lifted him up. Then he saw the poor Yuanren he had been raising for about a week looking at him pitifully.

Ji Fang's momentary hesitation gave Qiao Ye the opportunity to hug him tightly around the neck.

Ji Fang was a little irritated. He took a deep breath and tried to pull Yuan Ren off, but the faint fragrance on Yuan Ren's body instantly entered his nostrils. The smell stimulated his brain nerves, and his irritation was soothed in an instant.

Ji Fang stopped grabbing Yuan Ren's hand, his eyes looking somewhat strange.

Is this why Wei Liangguan wanted to raise Yuanren? I didn't expect it to actually have the function of calming emotions.

Seeing that the Yuanren seemed to know that the general was going to abandon him, which was why it reacted so strongly, Li Cheng thought that the Yuanren must be very smart, and it would be a pity to give it away to someone else.

He said to the general, "It is said that the original person cannot be changed hands frequently, otherwise they will suffer from stress depression, and in serious cases, they may get sick and die. Why don't you continue to keep them?"

Li Cheng didn't know why the general didn't object; perhaps the general was also hesitant? He continued, "We can send it to a pet boarding center first, and then deal with it when we get back. In a short time, we can't find a suitable owner for it."

"Or, we can just leave it in Ling Yu and Ling Fei's care; there shouldn't be any problem."

Ji Fang gently pulled the primitive man off his neck, held him to his chest, and said, "Ling Yu and Ling Fei can't control him; he can untie the ropes himself."

Li Cheng was somewhat incredulous: "He could untie the ropes and run away on his own?"

Ji Fang hummed in agreement, and finally made a decision. Regardless of whether the creature could understand him or not, he said to Ling Mu, "Ling Mu, since you don't want to leave, then you'll stay home obediently, understand?"

Joe understood that he was being warned. He didn't know what he would face, and he had already tried so hard. If he still couldn't change the outcome, there was nothing he could do.

He nodded haphazardly in response to his master's warning.

"You are only allowed to move around in the manor, and you are not allowed to run outside!"

nod.

"Stay home and wait for me to come back."

nod.

Then, Qiao discovered that his master and his men had all left, leaving him behind in the manor. Ling Yu came over and led him back to his room.

So, he won't see me off?

Joe was immediately overjoyed!
