Hiss... My head hurts...
Where am I?
The darkness made Yu Sheng's chaotic brain even more blocked. He lay quietly on the ground, and it took him a while to wake up completely.
I remember... I was exploring the Arctic... and suddenly there was an inexplicable explosion above my head, and I passed out. I thought I was dead, but now it seems, am I still alive?
Yu Sheng moved his body, and his movement was accompanied by the "clattering" sound of some metal chains. Yu Sheng's whole body stiffened, and he realized that his hands and feet were bound, and it was difficult to get up!
What was going on? Wasn't he in the Arctic? Even if he had an accident, he should be lying in a hospital bed. Why was he locked up?
Even Yu Sheng, a military academy student who had taken military deduction classes, could not guess the intentions of the culprit who put him in this situation...
"Who!" Suddenly, footsteps came from behind. Yu Sheng turned around suddenly, and the darkness in front of him was revealed. The strong light made Yu Sheng close his eyes instantly, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Yu Sheng took a long time to calm down before he finally felt better.
When he opened his eyes, he found two strange people standing there, pointing at him with curious and excited smiles on their faces. Yu Sheng hated this smile and shrank his body, trying to avoid the sight of the two people.
The reason why these two people are strange is that the language system they speak is very unique. Even with Yu Sheng's level of experience in military academy, who has been exposed to languages of various countries, he couldn't tell which continent's language system it was.
Yu Sheng forced himself to calm down and surveyed the room where his cage was placed. It was enormous. Besides him, a living creature, there was a particularly beautiful, unknown bird about ten meters away. Furthermore, there were many large boxes and many other things Yu Sheng had never seen before, all of which looked incredibly unique and beautiful.
"*￥%!@*!" A loud roar startled Yu Sheng. He turned and saw another person had walked up to the two men, an angry expression on their faces, fiercely scolding them. The two men who had just pointed and glared at Yu Sheng didn't dare to say a word. They only mumbled a few words and then picked up the black cloth from the ground. Before Yu Sheng could say anything, he was shrouded in darkness again.
Yu Sheng sighed and found a comfortable position to sit against the cage, waiting for a better opportunity.
I don't know how much time passed, so long that Yu Sheng was even a little sleepy, when he suddenly felt himself being lifted up. The cage shook, and the chains on Yu Sheng's hands and feet rattled. Yu Sheng tensed his body, raising his alertness to the highest level, preparing for the unknown scene.
The person carrying the cage seemed to open a door, and a loud clamor filled his eardrums. Yu Sheng heard countless people screaming and applauding, just like at a concert. Yu Sheng wondered, could it be that he had been captured and taken to a prank show?
Before he could figure out the answer, the black cloth on the cage was lifted again. This time, Yu Sheng had experience and closed his eyes in advance, waiting until he had adjusted to the light before opening them.
What caught my eye was the endless auditorium and the densely packed crowd. In the huge hall that could accommodate at least 100,000 people, they excitedly waved their arms in their seats and cheered wildly, while I was trapped in a cage, imprisoned in the center of the stage where hundreds of thousands of people were gathered.
A woman in a sexy dress stood next to the cage and said something in a beautiful voice. The scene soon calmed down, but those pairs of hungry wolf-like eyes were still focused on Yu Sheng, making Yu Sheng's blood turn cold and chilly.
Yu Sheng couldn't help shaking.
As a military cadet, he had experienced real combat, could slit an enemy's throat without a flicker of emotion. Yet, at this moment, he couldn't stop trembling. He huddled together, his eyes fixed on the seething audience, his mind blank.
As the host's voice became increasingly louder, the number on the big screen skyrocketed to a terrifying number that even the emperor of a rich planet would have to think twice before giving it out.
——Inside the noble compartment of Zeus Mall——
"Dear Mr. Fregerick, the price of this blue beast is now over 100 million gold coins. Are you sure you want to raise the price to 200 million? Forgive my boldness, but the so-called high-end pets like the blue beast are just toys held by those nobles. They are really not worth it." Miss Michelle tilted her head, posing at a carefully calculated angle, perfectly showing her charming side profile.
The man she called Frey had a tall stature and a stern face, and his black hair stood out among the brown and blue-haired interstellar people. Fortunately, a few years ago, the black-haired blue beasts appeared, and countless interstellar people flocked to them, sparking a "black dyeing craze", so the black hair was not out of place.
But truth be told, few self-proclaimed nobles would dye their hair black. They considered it a disgrace to have the same hair color as a pet, even if the pet was priceless. Miss Michelle, one of these self-proclaimed nobles, was puzzled. She considered Mr. Frey, a man of wealth and status, a superior person, so why would he dye his hair black?
Of course, the sensible Miss Michelle would not ask this question. She was looking forward to having a place in Frey's heart and eventually becoming Mrs. Glick!
Hearing this, Frey glanced at Michelle with his cold eyes. After Michelle swallowed nervously, he said indifferently, "It's okay, I'm not short of money." After that, he stretched out his finger and pressed the offer price of 200 million gold star coins on the display screen in front of him.
The atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly reached its peak!
Yu Sheng felt as if the initially elegant and charming host beside him had suddenly become hoarse, the fervor in his eyes threatening to burst into flames. His ears began to ring, his vision blurring. Yu Sheng shrugged as far as he could into the corner of the cage, the rattling of his chains drowning out the screams and clamor of the auction hall.
The number on the big screen froze at 200 million gold star coins.
Yu Sheng's cage was labeled Fregerick and then covered again with the black cloth that prevented any light from penetrating. The darkness that had once made Yu Sheng uneasy now brought him relief.
Was I bought by someone? Yu Sheng thought confusedly, maybe there will be a chance to escape in the future?
Fatigue and hunger swept through Yu Sheng's mind, and Yu Sheng curled up in the cage and fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Sheng had a dream. He dreamed that he was still exploring the Arctic. The ice surface shattered and he suddenly fell into an ice hole. The freezing sea water instantly surrounded him. Yu Sheng struggled desperately...
"Ugh!" Waking up from a large pool is definitely not a pleasant experience. Even though the water is not as cold as the Arctic, it is definitely not more than 20 degrees Celsius!
"Anna!" Seeing the beautiful yet fragile humanoid shivering in the water, the head maid Qiao Lu became anxious. "You idiot! Blue beasts are different from us. Their body surface temperature can reach 6.2 degrees Celsius (nearly 37 degrees Celsius). We need water at least 6.6 degrees Celsius (nearly 40 degrees Celsius)!"
Anna, who was as strong as a Fanniu (a giant interstellar herbivore), hurried to the temperature control panel and adjusted the temperature to 6.6*. The water temperature gradually rose, and Yusheng, who was shivering with cold, finally relaxed a little.
He couldn't understand what the two women were talking about, and could only guess that they wanted to bathe him. Seeing one of the women walking towards him, he quickly swam to the other side of the pool and started bathing himself. The woman saw that he was bathing by himself and didn't seem to want to come over, which made Yu Sheng feel relieved.
Yu Sheng didn't know that Anna, who came from a remote small planet, was thinking in her heart at this moment, it is worthy of being a highly intelligent pet worth 200 million gold coins. Not only does it look like a human, it can also take a bath by itself!
After washing, Yu Sheng put on the clothes Anna brought him and refused Anna's help. Seeing Anna staring at him in surprise, he turned around awkwardly and quickly got dressed.
However, this dress was really hard for Yu Sheng to accept. It was a bright red jumpsuit with a golden pompom embroidered on the chest. What made Yu Sheng even more upset was that there was something inside the pompom, and it jingled like a bell with every step he took!
But at the moment, there was nothing else to wear except this piece of clothing. Yu Sheng calmed down for a while, and when he saw that Anna had no intention of putting handcuffs or shackles on him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Anna was overwhelmed by the cuteness of the blue beast, which had dressed itself in its adorable pet outfit. "Ah! How wonderful it would be if this blue beast were hers! I would sleep in it every day! How soft and adorable!"
"What are you daydreaming about, Anna?" The head maid, Qiao Lu, glared at you with her narrow, mean eyes, and sneered, "This is a pet worth 200 million gold coins, and it's the last blue beast. Stop daydreaming. Hurry and send this blue beast to Mr. Frey! Mr. Frey is waiting!"
Anna lowered her head and responded in a nod, her eyes hiding her inner disgust. You are just one level higher than me as a housekeeper, what's there to be arrogant about?
Under Qiao Lu's watchful eye, Anna reached out and lifted the obedient blue beast in front of her. Then, in the blue beast's shocked and panicked gaze, she carefully placed the blue beast back into its cage. Then, she lifted the entire cage and walked towards the portal. The whole process looked effortless and effortless.
Yu Sheng, in the cage, was stunned. How strong was this woman?! What kind of place had he come to? Was this still Earth? Could he be on another planet?
Yu Sheng, who was making a casual complaint, didn't know that he had accidentally revealed the truth.
…
Frey sat in a silver office chair, his handsome face expressionless, his eyes surveying everything around him calmly. Even though Luther had served as steward of the Glick family for over fifty years, having served through two generations of family heads, and even though Frey had grown up under his watch, he still couldn't understand him.
Luther lowered his head, hiding the inquiry in his eyes, and said respectfully, "Mr. Frey, the blue beast you photographed has been cleaned. Would you like to send it here for us to see?"
Frey frowned slightly and said, "Send it to the pet room."
"Okay." The butler responded and left.
Frey was originally reading some reports sent by his subordinates, but for some reason he couldn't concentrate at this moment. After thinking about it, he turned off the electronic screen, stood up and walked towards the pet room.
For this blue beast, worth two hundred million gold coins, the pet room was naturally built to be comfortable and comprehensive, with everything from food and drink to entertainment. It even contained some of the literacy books that interstellar people used to read as children. The richer and more prestigious the nobles, the more they wanted their pets to resemble humans.
When Frey entered the pet room, Yu Sheng was lying on the large, soft bed, struggling to pull at the pompom bell on his chest. He had no idea what the rope was made of, but even a cadet used to handling rifles couldn't even get it loose. Yu Sheng turned around, about to scan the room for any sharp tools, when he spotted Frey quietly watching him from the doorway.
Yu Sheng took a deep breath and all the hairs on his body stood up. With all his years of military training, he didn't even notice the approach of this person.
"Who are you?" Yu Sheng took a step away from Frey warily, then realized that they did not speak the same language, so he stood where he was, his eyes fixed on Frey, observing his motives.
Frey was so frightened by the blue beast in front of him that he stretched out his hand. In his hand lay a small egg-shaped robot. Every time Frey said a word, the small robot would translate it into Chinese.
"My name is Frey, little one."
"I'll give you a name," Frey paused, waiting for the little robot to finish translating loudly before saying, "Let's call you Bell."
"..." Yu's face turned red with anger, "My name is Yu Sheng!"
However, the little robot was quiet and showed no intention of translating. Yu Sheng gritted his teeth. What kind of crappy machine is this? It can only translate in one direction?
Just as Yu Sheng was calculating the probability of kidnapping this so-called master and escaping this place, Frey suddenly spoke in standard Chinese, "Yu Sheng."
Yu Sheng was stunned. He noticed Frey's black hair. Could it be that Frey was also a Chinese?
Frey's next words made Yu Sheng no longer pay attention to his origin, "From today on, I am your master."
There were footsteps outside the door. Yu Sheng turned his gaze to the door. A middle-aged man in a black uniform walked in. "Mr. Frey, the blue beast food has been bought."
"Send it in." Frey said lightly.
The little robot accurately translated the words "blue beast food," and Yu Sheng felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. He saw Anna walk in with a plate full of... black compressed objects that looked a bit like cookies.
Although Yu Sheng understood that he needed to eat to replenish his energy, he could not accept eating pet food directly in front of the so-called "master" for a while.
"Not hungry?" Seeing that Yu Sheng had no intention of eating, Frey frowned, and suddenly stepped forward, picked up Yu Sheng who had not yet reacted, sat on the bed, and restrained the struggling Yu Sheng on his legs, "Lingling, be good."
Luther was a little surprised to see that the usually indifferent head of the family was so concerned about this blue beast. How could Frey be interested in such a weak pet?
Yu Sheng, who was forced to eat blue animal food in Frey's arms, did not feel honored. His face was flushed red, and the pompom on his chest jingled as he struggled. However, the person in front of him was obviously stronger than Anna, and Yu Sheng could not make the other party give in even with all his strength.
Frey pinched the flat square-shaped "blue beast food" between his fingertips and forced it against Yu Sheng's lips.
Yu Sheng pursed his lips tightly, and glared at Frey with his stubborn eyes, almost spitting fire.
"You'll make the pet feel uneasy, Mr. Frey," said the butler, Luther, who calmed the atmosphere. "You can try to coax it. Anna, go and bring over some blue animal food of varying flavors. See which one Lingling likes."
Yu Sheng, sweating profusely but powerless, gave up struggling, closed his eyes, and let the hand press the blue beast food between his lips. A slightly sweet taste spread, and his hunger made Yu Sheng instinctively chew the blue beast food. It tasted a bit like a chocolate compressed biscuit, and after swallowing it, the dizziness and bloating in his head quickly eased.
Yu Sheng opened his eyes and stared at the plate of blue animal food in Luther's hand, his intention was obvious.
Dignity cannot be eaten now. No matter what, you must ensure your physical strength so that you can be fully prepared for your future escape.
Seeing that the pet in his arms accepted the food, Frey showed a faint smile that he didn't even notice. He raised his hand to signal the butler to hand over the plate, and fed Yu Sheng one by one with interest.
Yu Sheng tried to refuse Frey's feeding and wanted to grab the plate to eat by himself, but under the absolute force, he had no choice but to give up and pretend to surrender and accept Frey's feeding.
