Chapter 149 Anya Wine House, Brother Dou subconsciously raised his hand and touched it...
Dou Ge subconsciously raised his hand to touch Sang Zhi Tao, but only after being pecked by Sang Zhi Tao did he awkwardly withdraw his hand and say to Shu Shu, "This is a pet that my sister bought."
Shushu wasn't surprised. After all, the Dragon and Phoenix Continent main system launched the pet system half a year ago, and everyone would have three pet slots open. So since then, many people have hoped to contract pets that are strong enough.
However, because there are three options, when the main system store launched pet blind boxes, even though people knew that the pets in these stores didn't have much combat ability and were sold at exorbitant prices, many wealthy people still bought pet blind boxes to show off their rich status.
Thinking of this, Shushu subconsciously glanced at the equipment worn by the two siblings, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although the two were wearing the best equipment within their level, it was not the kind of expensive but useless equipment that could be bought from the store.
Dou Ge and his brother knew, of course, that their situation wouldn't be convincing with such a reason. Fortunately, he had already come up with a plan and said with a smile, "A friend of mine thought the little yellow chick was useless and gave it to my sister."
Shushu understood immediately, and all her doubts vanished in an instant.
After all, there is no shortage of rich people in this world, nor is there a shortage of people who keep buying blind boxes in the mall in order to get a pet they like.
As for pets that people don't like after obtaining them, some will put them up for sale on the free market, while more wealthy people will choose to give them to relatives and friends to play with.
Shushu had an idea and looked up again to carefully observe the mulberry peach on Douge's head.
Only then did I realize that this little chick looked very similar to the chicks I had gotten from blind boxes before. Both of them wore a pink triangular scarf around their necks and a small pink crown the size of a thumb on their heads. At that moment, all my doubts disappeared completely.
A commotion suddenly broke out at the front of the group. The three of them turned their heads to look and found that the Japanese who had been delayed inside for a long time were being thrown out.
"What's going on?!" Dou Ge looked at Shu Shu in surprise.
Shushu looked back at him speechlessly: "Do you think I would know?"
Dou Ge stared blankly at him, somewhat surprised: "Yeah, my sixth sense tells me you know."
Shushu looked at him speechlessly, as if she had choked on her words: "You're the first person to think I have this ability."
Dou Ge had a smug look on his face: "That's right, my sixth sense is really amazing."
Shushu rolled his eyes at him. After chatting for a while, he realized that although the brother and sister were not innocent, they were not bad people either. On the contrary, he could see that they were patriotic at heart. Since he was also from Xia Country, it was natural for him to help his fellow countrymen.
He opened the panel, found the contact, typed a few words, waited a while, and then closed the panel.
"Simply put, the Japanese are really slow and they even tried to touch the staff at Anya Inn, so..." Shushu shrugged, giving him a knowing look.
Dou Ge and Dou Zi both showed expressions of disgust.
Perhaps because the Japanese were wasting time and really spoiling Anya's mood, she had a dozen slips of paper printed out. Anyone who asked Phoenix a question was handed a slip of paper and sent away.
Shushu already knew what she wanted from her sources. After making a show of going in, she didn't linger for even a second, and immediately said goodbye to the brother and sister before leaving.
"Looking for Phoenix, right? Take this note." The person handing out the notes was a young girl. She leaned lazily against the pillar behind her, yawning, and listlessly pointed to the note on the table in front of her.
"No, we want to buy other information," Brother Dou waved his hands repeatedly.
The young girl perked up, quickly stood up straight, and introduced the two with a smile: "Welcome to Anya Wine House, please come in, guests."
She then asked someone to continue handing out notes for her, and personally led the two into a small, dark room at the back.
The small room contained only a table and two stools. On the table stood a black wooden board that reached all the way to the ceiling, with two palm-sized holes carved into the bottom of the board.
Dou Ge and his sister exchanged a glance and calmly sat down on the stool.
A blank piece of paper and a pen were handed out from inside the cave.
Dou Ge took a deep breath, picked up a pen and wrote down the question he wanted to ask, then slipped the note over.
There was a long pause before the note was handed over.
Brother Dou looked down at the amount on the screen, his brows furrowed deeply.
Seeing that he hadn't made a move for a long time, Douzi impatiently took the note and glanced at it.
The note read: "Price: Three thousand gold coins or information about your phoenix."
Dou Ge's expression changed, and he coldly swept his eyes across the other side, but unfortunately, all he could see was a wooden plank.
Douzi's face also looked rather grim. Of course, they didn't have three thousand gold coins, but they were even less willing to tell Phoenix about it.
Seeing that the brother and sister were hesitating, another note was handed over: "Anya Wine House can also buy Phoenix Information. You make your bid."
Dou Ge pressed the note in his palm and shook his head slightly.
Douzi nodded, understanding her brother's meaning. She took the note, wrote down her refusal, and handed it back.
There was a rustling sound coming from the other side, and after some time, another note was handed over.
"Anya Winery will act as your protector and escort you to the Darkmoon Forest."
This offer tempted both of them. Money was important to them, but not so important that they would have to sacrifice life-or-death information.
However, having finally obtained the divine beast and received the only world quest, they didn't want to give up. But with their current abilities, reaching the required level within seven days was simply too difficult.
Before they could decide, another note was handed to them: "We just want to confirm Phoenix's information. The contract has been made and we cannot take it away. This is proof."
Upon seeing the seal printed on the back of the note, both the brother and sister's expressions changed.
They had always heard that the people behind Anya Winery might be officials from the Xia Kingdom, but no one had ever confirmed it, and the Xia Kingdom had never admitted it. They never expected that the people from Anya Winery would be so frank with them for the sake of Phoenix.
The siblings felt a little embarrassed to refuse because of the other party's straightforward actions.
Sang Zhitao, who had been perched on Dou Ge's head, stared intently at the person behind the wooden board. She couldn't help but sniffle, and her tiny wings unconsciously touched her chest.
She sensed that the person opposite her possessed information about fragments of the world.
Sang Zhitao frowned. Although she had encountered situations where world fragments split in two since her transmigration, she had never encountered a situation where the fragments were broken into stardust and each person had an aura.
Of course, it's not that everyone in this world carries the scent of world fragments, but rather that the five people on the opposite side of this space all carry them. Sang Zhitao can also vaguely see the tiny, star-like sparkles on their bodies.
Trusting the fragments of the world, Sang Zhitao said directly to Douzi, "Agree to their terms."
Douzi was still a little hesitant, but after hearing Sang Zhitao's words, she went straight to her brother's side and whispered in his ear.
Legends from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent say that divine beasts can judge good and evil and see through people's hearts.
Although they weren't sure if the legend was true, the two siblings felt that the mythical beast wouldn't choose someone who was hostile to them.
In just a few words, the two made their decision and handed each other a note of agreement.
Two deliberately suppressed cheers came from the other side, which were then drowned out by a few light coughs.
A note about negotiations was handed over, and after the two siblings finished reading it, the door to the room was opened.
The young girl who had initially led the way stood behind the door, smiling and pointing to one side: "Let's go, the boss wants to see you."
Unsurprisingly, the two followed the girl deeper into the area...
The negotiations were simpler than expected. After exchanging basic information with some reservations, the two sides agreed to depart early the next morning.
The two siblings began purchasing the medicines and food they needed from the system store and the free market.
Sang Zhitao, however, drooled over a pair of gem-encrusted pieces: "Buy me a few level-eight gems as snacks!"
Douzi looked at the gemstone that he couldn't afford with all his wealth and twitched his lips: "Ancestor, I really can't afford it."
Sang Zhitao sighed, regretting countless times that she had designed the two of them to be poor for dramatic effect.
At this moment, Dou Ge thought of Sang Zhi Tao's bird's nest: "How about... we sell your bird's nest? It looks like it's worth a lot of money."
Sang Zhitao was so angry that her feathers bristled, and her body, which was already like a small yellow ball, became even rounder.
She flapped her wings and jumped vigorously on Bean Brother's hops. After a few times, she felt it wasn't enough, so she flapped her wings and flew to Bean Brother, pecking at him with her beak while chirping.
Dou Ge obviously couldn't understand what she was saying, but judging from his sister's expression, he knew that Sang Zhi Tao's insults were quite harsh.
After Sang Zhitao finished throwing a tantrum, she returned to Dou Ge's head, and a glint of light flashed in Dou Dou's little eyes.
She looked at her satiety level on the panel, which was 50%. DouDou narrowed her eyes and immediately raised her paw to pull the satiety level down to the warning line of 30%.
A red alert popped up on the two siblings' task panels, and the system voice announced: "Please feed your divine beast as soon as possible, please feed it as soon as possible..."
"I remember seeing that the satiety level was 70% just now?" Douzi opened the pet panel in surprise, looking at the 30% satiety level with a blank expression.
Sang Zhitao hummed softly, and immediately started singing in her mind: "So hungry, so hungry, I'm really so hungry..."
Douzi was speechless from her nagging, so she took out the money sponsored by Anya Winery and bought two level-two gems and handed them to her.
Sang Zhitao kicked the gemstone back into her arms with disgust: "My nest! Give it back to me!"
Douzi took the gemstone and casually set it into her belt, then took out the bird's nest.
The bird's nest was more than half a meter in diameter, and Douzi couldn't hold it all, so she had to hand it to her older brother.
Sang Zhitao didn't care whose nest she was in. She jumped into the nest, pecked off the gemstones embedded in it, ate them in a few bites, and then rushed to the next one.
As they watched her satiety level gradually increase, the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief.
Dou Ge couldn't help but say, "Since you can eat this, we won't buy the gems, okay?"
Sang Zhitao rolled her eyes at him and chirped twice to Douzi, "I'll take care of my own food. What do I need you for as a feeder? You can keep track of what I eat and pay me back when you make money."
Douzi was terrified of this little darling throwing a tantrum, so she naturally agreed to everything.
In the distant Youyue Forest, a girl who looked just like Sang Zhitao was leaning against a tree, clutching her chest. Her chest was almost flat, and at first glance, one might mistake her for a corpse.
Her slender tentacles carefully extended from beneath her skirt, eventually entwining around several wild beasts. Before long, the tentacles detached from the beasts, leaving behind only a pile of white bones.
