"No, Mom, we still have eight squirrels, from Mao Mao to Mao Ba."
“Nao Nao, just think about it, Mao Rongrong has lived for almost twenty years, which is quite remarkable.”
"Mom, how long do squirrels usually live?"
"In just a few years, at most ten years, our furry little one will break records."
"Then we're not sad anymore, being furry is amazing."
"Yes, you guys should go to sleep. What time is it?"
I put the fluffy thing into the ice box I had prepared beforehand.
When Dad and I get back, we'll take care of Furry's funeral arrangements together.
"Okay, Mom, we understand."
Zhuang Zhimeng hung up the phone and sighed.
"Sigh, the dogs will be gone in a few years too."
An Qingbai comforted his wife.
"Then let's make sure the dogs are well-fed and watered, so they don't suffer when they die."
"Well, that's the only way."
Number 001 suddenly appeared.
"Master, I have a way."
"What method? Can you prevent them from dying?"
"No, it's possible to turn a dog into a primitive canine before it dies, so it can stay forever."
They are just like primitive humans, with screens that they can operate.
But without a soul, it will not respond to humans as it used to.
"To put it bluntly, it's become your puppet pet, right?"
"Yes."
Zhuang Zhimeng leaned against her lover's chest.
"Honey, what do you think?"
"Honey, I think we should talk to the kids about this."
I want to see the dog every day, but the dog is like a machine.
Let the dogs rest in peace, so we'll never see them again.
Let's see what they choose.
"Okay, there are still several years to go, let the children decide then."
Number 001 spoke again.
"Master, there is a type of dog in the store that can live for decades."
Zhuang Zhimeng shook her head.
“It would be even more painful for them to die like that, I’d rather not raise one.”
Number 001 has also learned to sigh.
"Alas, I cannot control my life; I can only prolong it, not prevent its end."
How can it be extended?
We extended the furry friend's lifespan by five years using medication and supplements. Are there any other options?
"We can only rely on ginseng now."
Its fruit contains a special ingredient that slows down aging; eating one gram can add one day to your life.
However, the quantity is extremely small.
A small ginseng needs to grow to 50 centimeters before it can produce such fruit.
A single fruit can contain a maximum of ten grams.
Zhuang Zhimeng looked in her mind and remembered the little ginseng that waved its leaves above her head to greet her.
"Oh, 50 centimeters?"
It's only 20 centimeters long now, when will it grow to 50 centimeters?
"By the time it grows up, all the dogs have already died."
"The master can water the little ginseng with the spring of life."
What is the Fountain of Life?
"It's the spring water next to the ginseng plus this."
An Qingbai was stunned.
"Isn't this the jade bowl from our jade box?"
"Yes, it's from that box. This jade bowl is very special."
When it mixes with the spring water, it produces a very strong active substance.
It promotes the growth of all things.
Zhuang Zhimeng took the jade bowl and looked at it.
"Number 001, what would happen if humans and animals drank it?"
"It will accelerate the aging process, so we must use the fruit of small ginseng to slow down aging."
Will this jade bowl gradually shrink?
"No, Master can simply place the jade bowl directly below the spring."
"Will black truffles grow faster in the future?"
"Yes, watering with the Fountain of Life will shorten the harvest time to once every two months."
The owner can choose to dilute it; the more concentrated it is, the shorter the cooking time.
"Understood. Keep an eye on it, and alert me immediately if there are any unusual reactions."
"Yes, Master."
Number 001 was just about to enter the warehouse.
"Wait."
Number 001 turned around and looked at the deputy master.
"Number 001, could this Fountain of Life be used in industry?"
"Yes, the results will be surprisingly good."
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."
Number 001 nodded and went back to the warehouse.
Zhuang Zhimeng held her lover's hand.
"Honey, I suddenly remembered that Master Bai collected fruit peels that eventually condensed into a few seeds."
There was no reaction when I used water from the spring before.
Let's soak it in the spring of life and see what grows.
"Okay, based on our previous analysis, number 001 could be a tea tree or a fruit tree. Let's see what it is."
The couple went into the warehouse together.
Zhuang Zhimeng took a bowl and poured the water from the jade bowl into it.
The seeds begin to change visibly to the naked eye.
"It's sprouted! Number 001, come and take a look, what kind of seed is this?"
Number 001 immediately appeared before the couple.
“Master, this is an ancient tea tree, dating back more than a thousand years.”
Does this tea have any special medicinal properties?
"Yes, the juice extracted from the tea leaves of this tea tree can remove any scars."
Regular consumption can also help prevent cardiovascular disease.
"How long does it take to grow?"
"It cannot grow outside, so it can only be grown inside the warehouse."
It takes about three years for tea leaves to grow.
"Where is the place to grow crops in the warehouse?"
With a gesture from number 001, another piece of land appeared next to the little ginseng.
The seeds fell directly into the soil.
