Chapter 58 Fantasy Circus (8) Rewards and Remuneration
"Reward, what reward?"
As soon as Tan Yue finished speaking, the pair of rose gold bracelets were handcuffed to his wrists with a click.
Tan Yue said helplessly: "You don't have to handcuff me, I won't run away."
The Animal Town was obviously not the world he was familiar with. Even if he ran away, where could he go?
Mr. Rabbit, on the other hand, was obviously a local resident. Even if Mr. Rabbit didn't want him, he would probably find a way to ask the other party to take him in on such a dark and dangerous night.
Mr. Rabbit glanced at him and explained, "There are so many people, so don't get separated."
When he arrives at the place, he will definitely remove the handcuffs, but not now. On the first day, he needs to declare his sovereignty to all the residents of the town.
Although there don’t seem to be many houses in the Animal Town, the space inside is very large. Some families have many children, and the circus audience is only a part of them. There are still many residents who did not come to watch the show.
Although Tan Yue possesses extraordinary power, the animal residents are also very different. Guan Shan is not only worried about Tan Yue's safety, but also about his innocence.
After all, after entering this place, Tan Yue obviously peeked at other furries many times. What if he was not paying attention and humans were abducted by other furries?
Tan Yue found it a little funny. He was an adult, not a child, so how could he get lost? But since Mr. Rabbit was kind-hearted, he would not say anything sarcastic. On the contrary, to show his goodwill, he took two steps forward and took the initiative to hold Mr. Rabbit's hand: "Holding hands makes it less likely to get lost."
The fruits and remaining items on the table were put into the hat. After leaving the circus, there were still a lot of people. The circus tents had fallen down everywhere, obscuring the environment inside.
Tonight, the other acrobats must be staying in the big tent. They are a mobile circus and have no property in Animal Town. The circus has a complete backstage, where they can cook and sleep, but the conditions are a little worse.
There is another very important reason. There are still many items in the tent that cannot be taken away. They have to stay here to prevent thieves from stealing their valuables. There is no difference between the animal town and the human world. Even in the cartoons that children watch, there are thieves and robbers. The wealth of the circus is very expensive. Only the Fantasy Circus can rob others. If they are stolen or robbed, they will lose face.
Guan Shan didn't care much about the internal problems of the Fantasy Circus. He was an honorary resident of Animal Town and had more comfortable places to live. Why should he work so hard to squeeze into a small tent with others?
He pulled Tan Yue across the stage, through the dazzling backstage, and came to a dark temporary warehouse. Mr. Rabbit took off his hat, and the dark place was lit up by stars. A very luxurious red luxury sports car appeared in front of Tan Yue.
Tan Yue had seen a similar car when he was in the capital. A car with this design might be worth 100 million yuan.
"Mr. Rabbit, is this your car?"
"Yeah." In the last world, when the Snake God got married, Tan Yue showed Him his car. The god thought it felt nice to go for a ride, and he was thinking about the conditions in the area around the Fantasy Circus, so he prepared a luxury car early.
Guan Shan said: "This is a new car, no one else has sat in it."
Although He was not able to be the only one who could sit and talk and cross the car, it didn't matter. He was willing to give humans unique preference. God was overbearing and rich, and he was so willful.
Guan Shan sat in the driver's seat and Tan Yue sat in the passenger seat. Only one of his hands was handcuffed, so he could fasten his seat belt by himself.
A magical thing happened. Guan Shan's hands were not on the steering wheel at all, nor did he make any ignition or driving movements. This luxury convertible started by itself and slowly drove out of the big tent.
"Wait, is this car breaking down?"
Tan Yue was a little worried, but the car was obviously very smart. It would honk the horn to ask people to dodge when it encountered a crowded place, and would stop when it should and speed up when it should.
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He was ready to jump out of the car. Fortunately, there was no car accident. After all, today was a very beautiful and dreamy day for him. He hoped that it would end in a warm and beautiful way.
Looking left and right, he did not see the artificial intelligence screen on the car, so he asked curiously: "Is this high-tech, a driverless car, or is this also your magic, Mr. Rabbit?"
That's right, it's magic, not magic.
He was watching the whole time and the camera was filming, but no matter from which angle he looked at it, he couldn't figure out Mr. Rabbit's secret. Rather than magic created by technological mechanisms, he would rather believe that this was magic, a large-scale magic show performed for him by Mr. Rabbit.
After all, the animal town looks like a fairy tale. Although to some humans, it may be a horror fairy tale, it is normal for magic to appear in fairy tales.
Mr. Rabbit replied, "If you think it's magic, then it's magic."
He added, "Don't call me Mr. Rabbit, I have a name."
Although "He" is indeed a rabbit now, the gods would find it very strange and weird that Tan Yue always mentions him like this.
Tan Yue readily changed his words: "Guan Shan." David Sher was a name known to everyone else, but Guan Shan was the name Mr. Rabbit told him. Tan Yue called him several times, and his voice became more and more tender.
The god looked at him and said, "Do you want me to collect the payment in advance in the car?"
Although this is a convertible and there are many people outside, "He" can cast the so-called invisibility magic to make Tan Yue invisible to all residents.
I heard that it would be very exciting, but He estimated that humans would be so ashamed and angry that they would want to die. Considering the fragile tolerance of humans, the gods gave up this plan. After all, this was the first day they met in this small world. If it was so exciting, what would they do next?
Of course, if Tan Yue really wanted to, it was not impossible for Him to refuse reluctantly.
Tan Yue didn't have the ability to read minds, so he had no idea what kind of obscene things Mr. Rabbit, who looked cool, elegant and pure, had just imagined in his mind.
He shook his head. "I'm just curious about what kind of house a great magician would live in. The houses here are all very interesting. Where you live, it must be a big carrot, right?"
If you ignore the danger of these animal residents, the animal town is indeed like a fairy tale world. Each household's house is very distinctive, and the exterior walls of the houses are also colorful. There are mushroom-shaped houses, fruit-shaped houses, and various chicken drumstick, hamburger, and pudding-shaped houses.
When seeing the pineapple-shaped house, Tan Yue couldn't help but ask, "Is SpongeBob living in that house?"
Guan Shan took a quick look and said, "This is a land animal town. There are no marine creatures."
Marine life cannot live without seawater and cannot live on land. The only creatures that can possibly live on land are mermaids. As long as they soak in water every day, they can still live normally on two legs.
"Remember to sell you egg pancakes? The pineapple house is the rooster's house."
Tan Yue cooperated with a surprised look: "I thought that chicken leg and that egg were its home. Do roosters like to eat pineapples?"
"Maybe. It's from the N Province where they immigrated. They like to eat pineapples more."
Tan Yue recalled that in some provinces that produce a lot of pineapples, such as Province N, if they couldn't finish eating all the pineapples, they would feed the chickens with them. Perhaps it was because they ate too many pineapples when they were alive and they missed them even after they died, so they even built their houses in the shape of pineapples.
I didn't expect this to be the reason. Tan Yue inexplicably felt like Guan Shan had told a hellish joke.
He was a good man and didn't like to talk about other people's sad stories, so he kept his mouth shut and waited for the vehicle to take them to Guanshan's residence.
The car drove towards the most prosperous city center of Animal Town, and after about fifteen minutes, it stopped in a parking lot in a yard.
When he saw the house, Tan Yue couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Guan Shan's house was carrot-colored, but the carrots were cut into beautiful squares.
In addition to the exterior walls being painted carrot color, there was a carrot leaf-shaped ceiling on the top of the house. When Tan Yue took a quick look, he thought he had returned to his own courtyard in the imperial capital.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at it several times, but still felt that it looked very much like his own home.
This is not a coincidence, it is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence. Tan Yue couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked directly to the door. The door was a smart password lock. He entered a few numbers and the door opened.
"Welcome home."
When he opened the door, he found that the layout of the house was almost exactly the same as his home. There was a foyer at the door and a place to put shoes, but the shoes were all put away, making the house look very simple.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see many paintings hanging on the big white wall. The frames of the paintings are very gorgeous and exaggerated, with golden frames of pure gold and transparent gem frames. There are many paintings inside, all of which are paintings of handsome men. Each painting is a life-size painting, and the painting shows a beautiful boy who makes Tan Yue's heart beat fast.
There are paintings of people with black hair and black eyes, paintings of mermaids with blonde hair and blue eyes, and paintings of beautiful boys with white hair and red eyes, but the people in these paintings all have the same face.
Yes, there are many paintings of the Gu God Guanshan, and naturally there must be other images as well. However, there are eighteen paintings of the Gu God from small to large, and there are not so many other forms.
There are 6 paintings in total, hanging all over the corridor. The one with the Gu God is a portrait of Guan Shan at the age of 18, with the two sitting in the corridor eating watermelon. The Mermaid is a mermaid and an infinite little mermaid, and there is also a portrait of Tan Yue and Guan Shan watching a movie. The one with the white hair is a portrait of the two getting married, and there is also a portrait of them lying together in the cave under the stars.
Tan Yue was very familiar with the style of these paintings, as they were all from his hand.
He looked at Mr. Rabbit, with white hair and red eyes. The rabbit also had white hair and red eyes. Was the last two paintings of the wedding Mr. Rabbit? Probably not. In the painting of the wedding, there was an image of a snake in the background, and the cave was dark, which was not suitable for rabbits who liked warm and dry nests.
"Is it you? Is this all you, Guanshan?" Tan Yue said this, but his tone was not full of doubt. "My forgotten lover, Guanshan?"
Mr. Rabbit then shed his fur and turned into an extremely handsome man, more mature than his teenager. The body in front of him was the perfect body of an adult man, less youthful and more mature, with full chest muscles.
With the same face, Guan Shan said, "You got it right. Here's a reward."
Tan Yue took two steps forward, shook his head and said, "This is not a reward."
He asked Guan Shan: "Mr. Great Magician, can you make a rabbit with ears and a tail? No furry parts, just the ears and the tail."
Then the fluffy ears and the small ball-like tail appeared.
Tan Yue stretched out his hands and touched the rabbit's long, soft ears at the same time. Then he put the two ears together and rubbed them vigorously with one hand, while his other hand reached for the tail behind it sinfully.
Pinch the small round ball and slowly pull it out. The rabbit's tail is not short at all, but long and soft, a super magical tail!
Once you release the tip of the tail, the rabbit's tail will retract like a spring and become a small cute ball.
Tan Yue said seriously: "This is the reward."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell on the soft carrot-shaped rabbit fur carpet. There was no hair from other animals in the house. All the fur products were made of rabbit fur.
A low and hoarse voice sounded in Tan Yue's ears: "Don't you know that you can't touch a rabbit's ears? If you do, you will pay the price."
Tan Yue asked: "What's the price?"
“The price of getting paid in advance.”
The magician Mr. Rabbit was very greedy. He was not as gentle and generous as he appeared, and he could not wait to collect his reward.
Guan Shan thought that there was indeed a big difference between the magic master and the real rabbit. After all, in the human world, rabbits were very fast in some aspects, but Mr. Rabbit was very persistent. He collected the reward for a long time, so long that he felt like a piece of sugarcane thrown into a juicer, with all the juice squeezed out of it, leaving only a little residue in the end.
Tan Yue didn't know how much time had passed, he just remembered that when he fell asleep, he was still holding the fluffy rabbit tail in his hand.
I thought that after exercising for a long time, I would have back pain and look weak when I woke up the next day, but the person in the mirror looked radiant and even better than before.
Tan Yue did not show any surprise. He seemed to have gotten used to this special feeling. It was a bit like practicing. All the energy would be wasted in the process, but after a good night's sleep and digestion of the energy, the next day's condition would be better than the day before, and slowly, it might even grow.
This is also why Tan Yue has never been afraid of Guan Shan. He is not the poor scholar who was sucked dry by the fox spirit in the stories of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Instead, he is like the one who has absorbed the essence of the other party.
No, Mr. Rabbit in the mirror is also in very good condition, so their practice should be mutually beneficial.
Guan Shan prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Tan Yue and reheated all the snacks that were not finished yesterday. This time, Tan Yue ate everything up without leaving any.
No, it's not completely without side effects. The side effect is hunger, and he feels that his appetite may be bigger than before. If this continues, he will become the reincarnation of a glutton.
Guan Shan obviously saw his worry: "What are you worried about?"
Tan Yue patted his belly which showed no signs of swelling after eating a lot of food: "I feel like there is a black hole in my stomach. I am afraid I can't afford to eat anymore."
Looking at the decoration of this house, Tan Yue had no doubt that Guan Shan had been paying attention to him during the time when he had not met him.
"I have to pay a fixed amount of water and electricity bills every month, and car insurance every year. The rest of the money is spent on food. I am thinking about doing some part-time work."
He lives alone in a villa of several hundred square meters, and has considered renting out a floor of the house. This would greatly ease his financial pressure and allow him to eat more delicious food.
After all, time is money after work. He eats a lot, so it takes a long time to cook a big table. However, if he eats out every day, even if it is a conscientious small restaurant, his wallet will not be able to bear it. In this case, he still has the help of the free canteen company.
If he went to a buffet restaurant every weekend or holiday, he could save some money, but he was picky, and most buffet restaurants always had the same dishes, and many of them were cheap pre-prepared dishes. In the past, his taste buds could barely tolerate it, but after his physical fitness improved, eating those high-tech and hard-working dishes became a bit painful.
Tan Yue sighed: "I feel like I can't support myself anymore. I eat too much and feel like I'm a little useless."
In fact, if he ate less normally, he could still survive, but if he ate less, his strength would be much less. The security has not been very good recently, and after hearing the newcomers talking about the revival of spiritual energy, and hearing some strange news from his parents and grandparents, Tan Yue didn't want to stay in a state of no strength for a long time.
Now that the program team has changed their boss, they have given me a lot of subsidies. But if my appetite continues to increase like this, it won't be enough.
Besides, Tan Yue not only wants to eat, he also wants to learn more. Gym, learning archery, shooting and other hobbies are all very expensive.
In addition to supporting myself, I also want to raise a kitten and a Samoyed. I want to have both a cat and a dog, but I’m not in a hurry.
Tan Yue subconsciously glanced at Mr. Rabbit's ears. He had raised snakes, mermaids, and rabbits before, so he was considered a winner in life. No, let me correct you. It should be that he was raised by Guan Shan.
Guan Shan said, "Then I will support you, do you want to?"
He said, "I can offer you a job as an assistant."
The Fantasy Circus will only stay in Animal Town for seven days, but it will patrol everywhere. Since Tan Yue likes himself in rabbit form so much, he can let Tan Yue be his assistant and take him to every corner.
Guan Shan said: "I won't stay in Animal Town forever. You quit that job and become my assistant. This way we can be together forever. I will give you a generous salary and will not let you go hungry."
Although human food is expensive, no matter how much Tan Yue eats, He can afford it.
Tan Yue shook his head without hesitation: "No."
"Why not? Don't you think it's interesting?" Guan Shan asked, "Do you not want to work beside me, or do you not want me?"
Tan Yue said, "I want to stay by your side forever, but lovers need to have a sense of novelty. You are a master of magic, what if you are no longer novel to me? And if I become your assistant, I can't help you much, and I will be completely dependent on you. You are getting a high salary but giving too little value, which will make me a waste."
When people joke, they say they rely on their lovers for support, but if they really rely entirely on one person, it is easy to lose yourself.
Guan Shan said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you are trash, I don't mind you."
In fact, no matter what kind of work Tan Yue does, it has no value or meaning to Him.
"But I feel differently." Tan Yue hugged Guan Shan immediately, "Just like you like magic, I still like my current job very much. I originally thought that I would stay in this position for a long time, but now I have changed my mind. When I work hard to become financially independent, I will quit my job and do something different."
His house is still very valuable. If things don't work out, he can sell it and keep a small house, and then do whatever he wants.
Guan Shan said: "I don't like magic."
Tan Yue froze, his mouth turning into an O shape.
"But you're an amazing magician."
"That's just magic." Magicians need a lot of practice, ingenious ideas, and interesting mechanisms.
But God obviously doesn't need this kind of thing. All of His magic is creation and destruction. It's all fake magic and real divine arts from beginning to end.
Mr. Rabbit said in a steady tone the love words that made Tan Yue feel excited: "I don't know magic, it's just because you like Fluffy, so you are the great magician David Schell, that's all."
A brief picture popped up in Tan Yue's mind. He touched the smooth scales of the little white snake and said that he didn't like snakes very much.
At that time, the boy with white hair and red eyes seemed to be comforted by him, but he still kept in mind the fact that he liked furry ones more.
"Why are you crying?"
Guan Shan sighed: "Forget it, if you want to do your job, just do it. I'm not forcing you to stay and be an assistant. In fact, you can also be a spectator."
In the human world, it seems that some programs ask viewers to act as agents and they are paid for doing so.
"It's better for me to be an assistant. I don't like being a spectator, and I don't like watching other circus shows. I just want to watch your show." Instead of waiting in the audience, he would rather accompany Guan Shan closely backstage, and then wait for him to go on stage and watch him shine. It would be nice to perform on the same stage with his lover, isn't it?
Although he is of no use and may be just a beautiful decoration, it is good to be together. Besides, Guanshan can't do magic, but only magic, so the two of them can be regarded as a joint fraud.
Tan Yue asked: "Then how do I go about the resignation process? Should I write a resignation letter to my colleagues?"
Guan Shan wiped away the tears that flowed uncontrollably from his eyes: "No need."
In the end, He still couldn't bear to let go. If He didn't like it, then it would be good to maintain the status quo. Every separation is for a better reunion, isn't it? Moreover, the speed of fusion is accelerating. When the day comes when they completely overlap, they will no longer need to separate.
