Reborn back to the 1980s, the sweet pet daily life of a small citizen, with a golden finger that can be upgraded.
...Since that day, Shen Yun hadn't seen Wen Maidong for a long time. She didn't have that much time to think about such complicated things, and she was wholeheartedly devoted to the business of hatching eggs.
"Niuniu, are you still obsessed with hatching eggs?"
Shen Yu looked at his brother in confusion and pointed at his head. He thought it was not good that there was something wrong with his sister's brain!
"Yeah! I'm just curious about what can be hatched."
It was clearly a hairy egg, impossible to hatch. However, his sister was so concerned about this egg that he didn't dare to speak easily.
"Who gave this to you?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I can't possibly give you something like that."
“Who’s got a hole in their head?”
I rolled my eyes. How special could this thing be? Who has a hole in their brain? Giving an egg as a gift doesn't look like an egg that can hatch anything.
"Niuniu, you seem to be very focused on hatching eggs lately, and you've almost put yourself in the role of a mother hen."
It was a little hard to say, but both Shen Feng and Shen Yu couldn't help but worry about their sister. They didn't know how long this crazy state would last, but they hoped it wouldn't be too long.
"System, how long will it take?"
Chen Yun felt that she didn't have that much patience. The little patience she had during this period was all used on this pet egg. She was really worried about it like a mother.
"Not long. Listen, there's already some movement."
The system doesn't dare to provoke the host whose temper is becoming increasingly bad. It is always paying attention to the pet egg, one for the host and the other to know what can be hatched from it.
“Click, click…”
The sound coming from the pet egg made Shen Yun freeze. There really was a sound and movement.
Holding her breath, Shen Yun nervously looked at the nest she had made for the egg. The movements within the nest made her uneasy, a sense of uncertainty, yet also a desire to get closer. It was strange, yet also wonderful.
“It’s moving…it’s moving…”
There was a sound of surprise, but it soon stopped, because the slightest noise made the voice inside pause and dared not to move further.
Shen Yun excitedly pulled the system to share her joy, and felt the excitement of being a "mother".
“Chichi…Chichi…Chichi…”
Chen Yun froze and looked at the system. She was sure there was nothing wrong with her ears. Then, why was it the sound of a chicken? Chirp, this was clearly the sound of a chicken.
"What the hell is this?"
He glanced at the system in exasperation. It had boasted so much, making him incredibly excited. But now, looking at the fiery red chick with its head already showing, he felt completely mad. Why was it a chicken?
"Hey...it's really hatched! Bro...bro...come here quickly, come and see!"
Shen Yu heard her sister's voice when she passed by the door, and walked in. Fortunately, she walked in, so she witnessed the turkey hatching.
"What's the matter?" Shen Feng also walked in following Shen Yu's shout.
"Brother, look, that egg actually hatched a chick. Turns out it wasn't an ostrich, it was a turkey."
Chen Yun was quite puzzled. What kind of turkey eggs could be as big as ostrich eggs? It felt really strange, especially since this turkey looked so stupid and low-class.
"Hehe... a drowned rat."
Chen Feng looked at the chick in front of him with a sneer. It looked like a drowned chicken. Covered in slime, with broken eggshells and a fiery red skin, and no feathers at all, it was truly ugly!
Shen Yun also had a look of disdain on her face. She had thought of many things, but she had never thought of hatching a chicken from a pet egg. No matter what abilities it possessed, it couldn't change its nature, right? A chicken was ultimately just a chicken. Could it possibly transform into something else?
"Host, you are lucky..." The system said with surprise, and it knew that the host's luck was extremely good.
"Lucky? What luck? I look left and right and there's no difference." Chen Yun rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore.
What kind of luck is this? It’s just a turkey, what’s so surprising about it?
"Hmph... You really don't recognize Mount Tai. Let me tell you, this isn't a chicken, it's a phoenix. It's the deity your ancestors believed in, a mythical beast from legend, and a symbol of good fortune."
The system couldn't help but jump, feeling aggrieved for the little creature. It was clearly a phoenix, yet these people, blinded by their incomparable talent, mistook it for a turkey.
"Is this a phoenix?"
Chen Yun poked the little thing that had just crawled out, dumbfounded. Could this turkey be a phoenix? She felt like her entire worldview had been turned upside down. So weak, so ugly, could it be a phoenix?
Isn't it the prophecy in the Analects that says: "The phoenix has six forms and nine buds." The six forms are: the head resembles the sky, the eyes the sun, the back the moon, the wings the wind, the feet the earth, and the tail the weft. The nine buds are: the mouth encompassing life, the heart in harmony, the ears sharp and far-sighted, the tongue clumsy and protruding, the complexion radiant, the crown red, the spurs sharp and hooked, the voice stirring, and the belly embroidered. When walking, the call is called "guixi", when standing, "tifu", the night call is "shanzai", the morning call is "heshi", and the flying call is "langdu". It feeds only on the fruits of the sycamore and bamboo trees. Therefore, if you wish to live in the Nine Yi, follow the phoenix. Things fly and give birth to children.
"Then you should also know that that was the phoenix's prime, and now it's still in its infancy."
The system rolled its eyes. Who says you're born like this? People start as babies and grow up, eventually becoming adults. This takes time and experience many trials and tribulations.
"Um... then, is this really a phoenix?"
Chen Yun was slowly convinced by the system, but a hint of disappointment remained. If this was the phoenix's infancy, it would be truly miserable. It's become a chicken. No wonder people say a phoenix in distress is worse than a chicken. Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
"Sister, have you chosen a name yet? What are you going to name this little thing?"
"Or maybe just call it a turkey. It's simple and clear. You see, the name tells you what it is."
Chen Yu also imitated Chen Yun and poked the little thing in front of him, watching it eat the eggshell clean, and finally combing its sparse three or two hairs. It is really a clean little thing.
"No..." Shen Yun didn't want to give it such a name. Since he already knew it had the potential to grow into a phoenix, such a lame name would be completely unsuitable for its status.
"Then...what's her name?" Shen Feng also looked at his sister curiously.
"Call me Feng Wu. The Wu of charming."
"Uh...it's just a turkey, and it has such a nice name."
Shen Feng and Shen Yu looked at their sister in amazement, not understanding why such a nice name was given to a chicken. Could this turkey also have the surname Feng? It was unbelievable.
