Contrary to Cheng Shuang's expectations, Mr. Old Axe wasn't a typical office worker who clocked out and left. He was the owner of the pet shop, or rather, one of the owners of this shopping mall. That evening, Mr. Old Axe held a video conference with his partner, which lasted only five minutes, indicating that he wasn't very interested in management matters. As for why he was willing to stay in the small pet shop, the young girl could only guess that he had a special affection for pets.

This guess is obviously not very reliable. After all, when it takes care of people and pets in glass cages, it is not exactly perfunctory, but it is basically numb. If someone or a pet is scared by its approach and trips over the cloth, it ignores it, skillfully shoves the person or pet into a corner, and coldly continues to do its work.

At most, if your pet gets dirty, just spray some powdery spray. The tiny yellow specks on your pet's skin will immediately dissolve into the air, restoring the skin to its original color.

The little girl sitting on top of the big axe head sniffed, confirmed it, and sure enough, the smell disappeared immediately.

She curiously examined the spray, which seemed to be a good cleaner and disinfectant. She thought she could buy a few bottles if she had the chance, just in case she didn't have time to wash up, to avoid any lingering body odor that would be difficult to hide.

Cheng Shuang was initially quite curious about human-pets, but she discovered that they were indeed human-pets, not entirely human. At least in terms of intelligence, their progress didn't seem very good, and it was even more obvious from their appearance.

The human-pet has a deep profile, a small forehead, a large nose, a protruding upper jaw, and a slightly receding lower jaw. Its facial features are somewhat clustered, and it doesn't seem to be very intelligent. When it speaks, it basically uses repetitive words and cannot express much clear meaning.

It has to be said, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief. Not because of human pride, but because she felt that, given equal intelligence, living as a pet was simply too cruel.

Of course, from an animal's perspective and aesthetic point of view, Cheng Shuang and human pets are not much different in appearance. They are both bald, fragile pets with soft fur on their heads. The reason they are expensive is that Cheng Shuang's skin is whiter and more tender, and its facial features are more pleasing to the eye. Other than that, there is no difference.

The little girl has always been observant, and after spending an afternoon with him, she understood that Mr. Axe treated her differently. Even though there were pets younger than her in the glass cage, they didn't receive any special treatment. When she cried, the mechanical cradle in the glass cage would take her back and rock her a few times to lull her to sleep.

So she made no attempt to hide her curiosity and thirst for knowledge, tilting her head to carefully study the lettering on the cleaning spray. The Maintainer's greatest advantage was that she could understand any common language, whether in the Land of the Dead or on a living planet. As for why she couldn't speak it this time, it was probably largely due to differences in audio channels.

The cleaning spray is labeled as being for human and pet use only, and claims to quickly break down stains, disinfect, deodorize, and achieve daily cleaning.

Cheng Shuang looked at the rows of tall shelves, where the same spray was for sale, priced at 20 coins.

The exchange rate at the Gate of Reincarnation is a fixed 1 to 100, which seems similar to the prices in their world. However, for the maintainers, buying anything from Animal Planet is a sure win. This bottle of cleaning spray, labeled as 500 ml, is as tall as half a little girl.

That's equivalent to buying a bucket for 20 coins.

Seeing that the old axe was focused on the quantum computer, the little girl took the opportunity to move closer. She needed to find a further opportunity to come into contact with the social system of the animal planet before she could decide what to do next.

Anyway, since Lao Fu isn't going to be running away while he's minding the shop, he might as well try a different approach.

There is a big difference between a light brain and a computer. The keyboard is no longer possible, but the mouse is still there. Cheng Shuang believes that the mouse is more like a medium for connecting with the consciousness of the light brain. When you place your claw on it, the connection is automatic without clicking, and a 3D image suddenly unfolds in the center of the desktop.

The 3D image appears to be an advertisement, showing a plump little pig sitting in an elegantly decorated restaurant, with waiters in different animal forms holding trays and waiting in line for her to enjoy her food.

Miss Pig's eating manners are far more elegant than those of omnivorous pigs on Earth. She eats at a considerable pace and the dishes are varied. When the last dish was served, Miss Pig's reserved eyes lit up. On the plate were balls covered in a rich sauce. A line of text appeared on the screen: Compound Fish Balls, nutritious and delicious, the best choice for carnivores and omnivores!

Miss Pig abandoned her composure, grabbed a meatball with her hoof, put it in her mouth, and showed an expression of enjoyment, even slowing down her chewing speed.

Sitting on the big old axe's thick forearm, Cheng Shuang sniffed. She seemed to smell the aroma of braised fish!

The little girl suspiciously approached the screen. The fragrance became even stronger. She turned around in surprise and looked at Mr. Axe. Then she pushed away the large claw holding the mouse. The 3D image immediately dissipated, and the fragrance disappeared. She moved the claw back, and all these unusual sights reappeared.

Has technology really gotten this amazing?

Is there any weapon that could be used?

No, that won't work. The height difference is too great; even if we get the weapon, we won't be able to use it.

The little girl wasn't disappointed at all. Coming to this living planet was already a pleasant surprise. Even if she didn't gain anything, it would be great to have a vacation!

The loving old axe, who had always let his pet frolic, was even more shocked than Cheng Shuang at this moment. His majestic tiger eyes widened as he looked at the restless little guy sitting on his arm, looking around.

No pet can immediately detect the source of the aroma. They usually spin around in front of the 3D image, and some even open their mouths to try to bite the virtual food. Such cute and clumsy behavior is often one of the most interesting and popular videos in the community.

Such behavior can be praised as clever!

Ordinary pets, upon smelling a fragrance, will at most fawn over their owners, assuming that their owners are secretly enjoying delicious food. They cannot accurately identify the source of the fragrance, let alone understand how to use the light screen.

The lazy old axe sat up straight and tentatively confirmed, "Little guy, do you know where the aroma of meatballs comes from?"

Cheng's eyes darted around, and with a soft "woof," he nestled against Mr. Old Axe's forearm, rubbing against him affectionately.

The little girl's rosy cheeks were slightly red from being pricked by the old axe's rough fur, and her big, watery eyes peered at it through the fur, looking innocent and bewildered.

Tiger's eyes deepened. Big Axe managed to keep a straight face, but inside he was trembling and screaming. Only three words kept echoing in his mind: So cute, so cute, so cute...

Cheng Shuang successfully fooled him. Seeing the old axe grinning fiercely, she got up and curiously ran to the table to look at the 3D image in the center.

The image turned dark, obscuring any possibility of peeping.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to take the risk and went back to the big axe, bending down and randomly slapping the mouse with its claws.
