Bang bang bang!
Teacher Li opened the door and saw a security guard standing there. He was a familiar face he met every day on his way to and from get off work.
The security guard seemed a little embarrassed. He said, "Teacher Li, some residents reported that there are always strange noises coming from your house."
"oh."
"Can you please pay a little attention..." The security guard's eyes drifted towards Teacher Li's room. The living room behind Teacher Li was in a mess, with the cabinets falling to one side, the trash can overturned on the ground, and broken pieces of teacups all over the floor.
"Ah..." the security guard exclaimed in surprise.
A puppy was spinning in the living room with a napkin roll in its mouth, and then it hopped towards Teacher Li at the door, leaving a long white strip behind it. The puppy ran to Teacher Li's legs and wagged its tail happily.
The security guard sighed, "No wonder, it was the dog that destroyed the house."
puppy:"……"
Teacher Li glanced at the puppy and said nothing.
The security guard said, "It's very difficult to train this dog. Teacher Li, you have to beat it hard. Dogs don't understand unless you beat them. Beating them hard will prevent them from destroying the house."
puppy:"……"
After chatting with the security guard for a few more words, Teacher Li closed the door.
The puppy hummed in a low voice, and then began to pull the napkin roll on the ground. Teacher Li picked up the napkin roll and tapped Simba's forehead gently.
The left door began to shake again. Teacher Li opened the refrigerator, took out a bag of frozen chicken, climbed up the ladder again, and threw it into the ventilation window.
There was another rustling sound, and "it" inside scratched the door for a while.
The shaking of the door gradually stopped.
There were gnawing sounds coming from inside the door, crunch, crunch, it started eating the frozen chicken.
It seems that I have gradually become accustomed to eating frozen chicken, Teacher Li thought. Next time he plans to throw away cooked food.
Xiao Zhen pushed open the door of the stationery store. The female owner with wavy hair stood by the counter and raised her head and said, "Welcome... We are opening a new store. If you buy two items, you will get a gift..."
She has a cheerful tone, a sweet voice, and tiny freckles on her cheeks. She looks like a pleasing woman.
Xiao Zhen took a quick look and found that the store looked like an ordinary stationery store. The female owner in front of him did not have any optical disguise and was a physiologically normal Homo sapiens.
"Hello, the pens are on the third layer, and the second layer is the notebook. Over there are the sticky notes."
Mr. Cat rushed in right after him, jumped onto the counter, and before the female owner could say anything, he said bluntly, "God bless you, stranger."
The female shop owner's eyes widened in surprise: "You are... an Ai Erte?" She whispered, "What a coincidence."
"Yes, I am a traveler from Alte. This is my local assistant." Mr. Cat raised his cat paw and pointed at Xiao Zhen beside him, ignoring Captain Ban who strolled in. "I want to ask you something."
The female shop owner took a look at the chicken walking on the ground and held back the question of "Why is there a chicken here?" She said, "Excuse me, what can I do for you ?"
Through the conversation, Xiao Zhen and his friends learned that the female shop owner was a Khazar from the Wide Area Star Region, the most common Homo sapiens in the Milky Way Star Region. Like Li Qiai, she looked almost the same as the local humans.
"That bottle of perfume is indeed mine," she admitted readily.
Xiao Zhen accused: "You violated the regional civilized independence code regulations."
The female shop owner said in surprise: "What are you talking about? Of course not."
"You sold perfume to ordinary local people, and the target was an underage elementary school student."
"But," the female shop owner said, "I gave that bottle of perfume as a gift to the first student who came into the store and her good friend, and the perfume was also legal. You are wrongly blaming me."
"Wrongly accuse you? You did give her the suspicious alien perfume."
The female shop owner raised her finger with a sly gleam in her eyes. "First, this bottle of perfume is not harmful to the human body. Second, this bottle of perfume is almost colorless and odorless, and will not be detected by any locals. Third, with the local technology, it is impossible to analyze what the raw materials are, not to mention what impact it will have on local civilization. Based on these three points, I think there is no problem in giving a bottle of harmless perfume to children."
Mr. Cat said to Xiaozhen using brain waves: (Indeed, judging from the influence of this bottle of perfume, it is impossible to determine that she has violated the code of civility.)
(She was quibbling. She dragged Yan Zhu into the faction dispute.)
(That's exactly what I was going to ask her.)
The female shop owner's attitude was unexpectedly direct. She smiled and said, "I think that instead of questioning me, you should go to the 'Midnight Flight' store. They were the ones who started the war."
"Midnight flight?"
"It's the 'Midnight Flight' grocery store to the right of the printing shop next to the Experimental Primary School." She nodded, "I can tell it's not a decent store right away." She looked at Mr. Cat, "Do you know?"
"What happened to that store?"
"That shop owner is a despicable council..." The female shop owner stopped talking and coughed, "It was that shop owner who first provided the suspicious and dirty perfume to a student. The target was an underage girl. It's despicable, has no moral conscience, and is shameful!"
"You seem to have done the exact same thing."
"This statement is a humiliation to us! The quality of the Golden Key's 'New Life' perfume is not comparable to that kind of garbage. When we found out that the shameful Giant Spirit Chamber of Commerce actually attacked elementary school students, we thought it necessary to take action."
"You mean, giving another bottle of questionable perfume to that student's rival?"
"No, please call it a just act," said the female shop owner. "The other party provoked us first, and we just responded calmly."
"You are just trying to use elementary school students to fight a faction war!!!"
After a conversation, the female owner was very determined. She said, "Gentlemen, unless the owner of Midnight Flight is willing to admit defeat now, we will never back down."
…
…
After leaving the stationery store, Xiao Zhen followed what the female owner had just said and went to the "Midnight Flight" grocery store next to the Experimental Primary School.
Pushing open the door, you will find a small grocery store that will make students linger. The shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods, various small ornaments, exquisitely decorated succulent potted plants, and various popular model toys, which attract students' attention.
A lazily black cat was lying on the cash register. Behind the counter stood a middle-aged, slightly fat man in a neat suit, smiling amiably at Xiaozhen.
Only this isn't a real person.
(Bionic Butler Mike V2.6, the face is customized.) Xiao Zhen said in her mind.
Captain Madara said: (Well, I remember that the original face of this type of bionic butler was particularly in line with the preferences of Homo sapiens women. It was the kind of exaggerated handsomeness that would make Homo sapiens women scream. This self-definition is really a bit strange. It directly changed him into a slightly fat middle-aged uncle.)
(It's because everyone has different sexual preferences.)
Xiao Zhen said, "Hello, I know you are the bionic butler. Can I meet your master? Or rather, the owner of this store."
The black cat that was lying on the cash register stood up and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Xiao Zhen looked at the black cat and asked, "Alt?"
The black cat replied: "Yes, I am the owner of this shop. What can I do for you? And why is there a chicken here?"
This black cat is a beautiful female cat, with black and shiny fur, slender figure, and cute little clothes. Unlike the fake Mr. Cat, she is an authentic Alte, or Alte cat.
Mr. Cat squatted down and said, "...Hello, Star Spirit, I never expected to meet a fellow tribesman."
After some greetings between the fake Artesians and the authentic Artesians, their topic immediately shifted to perfume.
"I smell that stench." The black cat sneered, and she looked at Mr. Cat with some contempt, "You just came out of that rubbish stationery store. Have you ever spent money in that store? If you are an alien guest, I will not receive you as long as you have spent money in that store."
"You are so picky about your customers when you do business."
"Except for the local humans who are unaware of the situation, my shop only serves loyal members of the Council."
"In such a remote corner, please don't engage in factional fighting!!!"
"This is very important to me." Black Cat said, "Because the local fox merchant Mr. Han is a neutral party, I always encounter stinky Legion members when I go to his place. I just want to live a comfortable and peaceful life and don't want to make things difficult for myself. People from other chambers of commerce think so too. So we firmly opened a pure store that only receives parliament members. This is my original intention and my belief."
All right. "We're just here to get some information," Xiao Zhen said, "about the perfume."
At this time, two students came in. Black Cat jumped down from the counter and motioned for Xiaozhen and others to follow her into the inner room. The bionic butler chatted enthusiastically with the two students.
The black cat whispered, "There are a lot of students coming to my store. To avoid trouble, let's talk inside."
"Okay, what should I call you? Miss Black Cat?" Xiao Zhen asked.
The black cat gracefully jumped onto a soft seat. She licked her paws and said, "I consulted the local Tonghan boss, and he gave me a name that is said to be well-known in the local area. I like it too."
"Excuse me?"
She said: "My local name is Bao Qingtian."
"??What?"
"Judge Bao." The black cat nodded gracefully. "Boss Han said that when the locals hear this name, they will associate it with my fur color. Black symbolizes the night. Qingtian is the blue sky. I like the night, and I also like the clear sky of this planet. This name is good, right?"
"..."No, I sincerely suggest that you beat Boss Han a hundred times.
"Regarding the perfume incident, my butler's system made a mistake and mistook the perfume I was using as a gift and gave it to a female student who was shopping in the store."
Xiao Zhen said, "Dear Lord Bao, since it is just a misunderstanding, can you please take back your perfume, then everything can be settled peacefully."
"That won't do." Bao Qingtian said decisively, "The stinking Legion members are provoking, they have already issued a declaration of war."
"You might consider a peaceful solution."
"No," Bao Qingtian replied, "because the war has already begun."
