"We're not in an earthquake zone, so houses are usually only required to withstand a magnitude 6 earthquake." Luo Dahai was still very concerned about his old friend's call. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If you really want to build a house like that, just follow the example of the reinforced concrete buildings in the eastern island countries. However, the highest we're talking about right now is only up to a magnitude 8. We don't really have the concept of a magnitude 9."
Luo Dahai spoke for a while, thought for a moment, and continued, "But I can help you build a deeper and stronger foundation. I can also use the best steel bars inside the house to increase the density in the middle. Is that okay?"
"Okay, let's do as you say." Qin Suyun didn't think about it for long and nodded in agreement.
Luo Dahai was right. This was not an earthquake zone, so it was difficult for such a big earthquake to occur.
The most devastating places she'd dreamt of were likely located in earthquake-prone areas. Influenced by those dreams, she'd so strongly desired a sturdy and reliable house. But now she thought, if a magnitude 9 earthquake truly struck, Yunhai City and Li'an City would be completely destroyed. There wouldn't be many survivors, and Yunhai City wouldn't even be able to establish a trading zone.
Combining the scene of their meeting in Yunhai City in the last dream, Qin Suyun thought seriously.
"Lao Luo, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. I'll come to you for help once I've decided on a place."
"Okay! Leave it to me!" Luo Dahai said with a hearty laugh, "When you're ready to start construction, just give me a call. I'll have Xiao Chen from the company help you design something beautiful!"
With Luo Dahai's words, she had nothing to worry about. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up the phone.

Time flew by. By the time Qin Suyun and Boss Zhou agreed to go to the kennel to buy the puppies, the scars on the cat and dog had long since healed, leaving not even a trace of scar. The hair that had been shaved off by the doctor had mostly grown back, and it looked like it would be fully restored soon. Compared to these visible sights, Big Black Bean's body looked noticeably stronger and more agile than an average cat or dog, each muscle brimming with explosive power.
Many households in Yihai Community have cats and dogs.
These days, Qin Suyun takes Dahei and Heidou for walks. Dahei has a good temper, and most people wouldn't notice anything unusual about him. Most people would just think he's a good dog with a sleek, sturdy build, though it's a shame he's blind in his right eye. But as their owner, Qin Suyun can clearly sense that they've become more human-like! Their IQ is probably no less than that of an average eight or nine-year-old child, and as they consume more and more jade dew, this change becomes increasingly apparent.
Qin Suyun always felt regretful about Dahei's right eye.
Sometimes when she looked at Dahei's right eye, she would wonder, if she had discovered the effect of the jade pendant earlier, would Dahei's right eye not be blinded? Every time such a thought flashed through her mind, Qin Suyun would feel even more guilty, and as compensation, she would give Dahei more jade dew.
In contrast, Hei Dou was completely different. In Qin Suyun's mind, cats were known for their strong independence and somewhat solitary personalities. They didn't submit to anyone, and even their owners were often seen as little more than poop scoopers. If they got upset, they'd scratch you in the face. They'd beat up any cats who invaded their territory, with arched backs and bristling fur a common occurrence.
However, when this situation came to Hei Dou, a dramatic change occurred.
Even Qin Suyun herself didn't expect that her cat had become the bully of the community without her knowing when!
No matter whether it is a domestic cat or a wild cat, as long as they see Hei Dou, they will be obedient. Many kittens even come forward to Hei Dou and act coquettishly and cling to him as soon as they see him, which makes Qin Suyun very embarrassed.
Especially the past two days, she was clearly taking a nice walk with a cat and a dog, when a silver-gray American shorthair cat suddenly rushed out from somewhere, lay at Hei Dou's feet, rolled around and hugged his thighs, and refused to leave. Wherever Hei Dou went, the cat followed him closely.
The short-haired cat was obviously more than two times thicker than Hei Dou, so this action was very funny.
Even now, when Qin Suyun thinks of the strange look the American Shorthair cat's owner gave her, she feels a little embarrassed.
Seeing Qin Suyun's eyes on him, Hei Dou yawned, the beard on his cheeks curled up, and he lazily lay on the passenger seat and tilted his head to look at her. Seeing that Qin Suyun didn't say anything for a long time, Hei Dou shrank his neck and curled himself into a furry black ball again and fell asleep.
The car quickly drove to the kennel, and the person who greeted Qin Suyun was still the dark and thin middle-aged man from last time. It seemed that the other party had been waiting in front of the kennel door for a long time.
"Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road just now, so I'm a little late." Qin Suyun put the big black bean into the car.
As soon as Dahei was let out of the car, he immediately wagged his tail cheerfully, much louder than he usually does at home. His tongue lolling in excitement was hilarious, completely lacking the ferocious, imposing demeanor of a German Shepherd. Compared to Dahei, Heidou was much calmer. He jumped out of the car and then lay on Dahei's back, imitating a farmer's pose, letting him carry him forward. His calm demeanor left the thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man stunned and amazed.
"Ms. Qin, although your cat is a local cat, it is really smart! Would you like to sell it? I'll give you 1,000 yuan!" The dark and thin middle-aged man exclaimed in admiration.
"I picked up this cat. It seems like we are destined to be together, so I won't sell it." Qin Suyun smiled and shook her head to refuse.
In Yunhai City, such local cats are worthless. Many people give them away or discard them casually. 1,000 yuan is indeed not a low price.
As if sensing the dark, thin, middle-aged man's intention to buy it, Hei Dou arched his back dangerously, his fur falling back, his round, cat-like eyes baring his teeth and growling threateningly at the dark, thin, middle-aged man. He then wagged his tail at Qin Suyun and meowed coquettishly, his expression changing to an adorable expression so quickly that ordinary people could hardly match him.
The thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man was even more delighted when he saw the black cat's actions. He didn't take Qin Suyun seriously at all. Instead, he continued to persuade her with a smile: "Tsk tsk! Miss Qin, it's fate that you can come to my kennel. As long as you are willing to give up your love, I will give you 5,000 for this cat. How about it? I will also give you a German Shepherd puppy later!"
Qin Suyun could only shake her head and refuse with a smile, saying, "I'm really sorry, but I really don't plan to buy this cat. Let's go look at puppies first."
Seeing that Qin Suyun was so determined, the dark and thin middle-aged man could only shake his head and sigh, "Well, all right then, Miss Qin, come with me."
As he said this, he led the way forward, and Qin Suyun followed him into the kennel.
