

Little Celery and Wang Yaning were mesmerized by the story about the relationship between rabbits and Easter that Zhang Zian told.

"Those poor rabbits," Little Celery murmured. She felt very sympathetic to the rabbits who had been abandoned after Easter.

Zhang Zian echoed her sentiments. "Yes, the rabbits are very unfortunate to be abandoned, so you should make the appropriate mental preparation before raising any pet. Rabbits are also creatures that have emotions, not just plush toys that don't have feelings. If you raise them well, rabbits can enjoy a long lifetime. After you graduate from primary school, they'll be kept by your junior schoolmates. Don't you think there is a great sense of accomplishment in doing that?"

Wang Yaning nodded. "So we shouldn't buy the baby rabbits until the new semester begins, right?"

"That's right," said Zhang Zian, pointing to the lop-eared rabbit in her arms. "Er Duo will grow up slowly, and it will also experience a violent period. When that time comes, promise me that you won't be mad at it, Little Celery. Whether it is ill-tempered or gentle, Er Duo is still the same pet."

Little Celery shook her head, "No, I won't. Er Duo is my good friend!"

"That's nice," Zhang Zian laughed. "I believe you, Little Celery."

"Yaning will help me take care of it, right Yaning?" Little Celery looked at her friend anxiously.

"Well..." Yaning hesitated a bit, and then nodded to agree.

"But the school has asked us to put forward a breeding proposal and wants us to try raising some animals. Then, we're supposed to turn in what we've learned from the trial before the beginning of the new semester." Yaning pointed out their dilemma. "The school will then make a comprehensive assessment and decide what animals to raise."

"Is that so?" Zhang Zian thought for a moment. "In that case, I suggest you raise hamsters first. Since they're both rodents, hamsters and rabbits share certain characteristics. If you want, I can help you get some more of them."

"No need!" Wang Yaning sternly refused. "I heard that pets sold in pet shops are purebred, and purebred animals have poor health conditions and genetic diseases. We don't want purebred animals, we just want to keep the healthy ones!"

What a tempermental girl! thought Zhang Zian.

Wang Yaning's voice was sharp and firm. Lu Yiyun, who had just finished drawing a fairly satisfactory illustration in the outer room of the shop,was stretching and briefly heard Wang Yaning speaking. Lu Yiyun held Jasmine and ran into the inner room, and quickly said, "Mr. Store Manager, some customers have also said the same thing before! They complained how pricy the purebred pets were and about all of their drawbacks."

Lu Yiyun coming in made Little Celery and Wang Yaning nervous. They shouted and asked Lu Yiyun to stay away from them, scared that Jasmine in her arms would harm the hamster or the lop-eared rabbit. Little Celery quickly put the hamster back into the cage and closed its door. There were also a bunch of kittens playing on the floor, but adult cats like Jasmine were especially lethal to rodents, including hamsters.

However, Jasmine was not interested in the hamster or the lop-eared rabbit. In Fina's presence, Jasmine did not dare act recklessly. 

Lu Yiyun realized that barging in was too rash. Jasmine usually walked around the pet shop and never caused any trouble, but the two little girls didn't know that. 

Zhang Zian also quickly comforted them and told them not to panic, because Jasmine would not hurt the hamster or the rabbit.

When the momentary chaos was over, Lu Yiyun apologized to them seriously, and then repeated what she'd said before.

Zhang Zian had also heard the same complaints many times before. Some people had said that the pets in his pet shop were expensive and that purebred pets had many disadvantages. Under normal circumstances, he would just ignore them. Regardless of the reasoning behind such complaints, these customers generally refused to buy anything from his shop, so he didn't bother wasting his energy by trying to explain to them. 

But since Wang Yaning had brought it up in front of him, he had to provide some clarification. Otherwise, these two children would look down upon him. And Lu Yiyun also wanted to know, so that she could better deal with annoying customers. 

"The pros and cons of purebred pets should always be analyzed on a case-by-case basis." Zhang Zian cleared his throat and explained, "There are indeed some purebred pets that are less healthy than hybrid pets, but in most cases, there is no conclusive data that proves that the lifespans of purebred pets are shorted than hybrid pets. On the contrary, because purebred pets are more expensive, people tend to take care of them more carefully, so that they can have a longer life expectancy. As for hamsters..."

He deliberately put them in suspense. "Do you think purebred or hybrid hamsters are better? Or are they pretty much the same?"

"Hybrid ones are better!" Wang Yaning answered confidently.

"I think they're pretty much the same?" Lu Yiyun guessed.

Little Celery simply had no idea what they were talking about.

"Hamsters are a typical counterexample," Zhang Zian smiled. "Purebred hamsters are healthier than hybrid hamsters. The purer their bloodlines are, the healthier they are."

"Really? Do you have any evidence to support what you're saying?" Wang Yaning did not completely believe him. She pushed up her glasses and her face was full of doubt, as if Zhang Zian was some sort of greedy store owner who liked to deceive children. 

Zhang Zian had dealt with countless strange customers before, so answering this little girl's question was a piece of cake. He replied confidently, "Hamsters have the recessive gene of diabetes. The purer the hamsters' bloodlines are, the lower the disease rates are. And hybrid hamsters have exceptionally high disease rates. Do you know the species Cream Colored Pudding hamsters?"

Little Celery shook her head, but Wang Yaning nodded, "I've seen one on the Internet, they're very cute!"

"Cute as they may be, you'd better not buy a Pudding hamster." Zhang Zian kindly reminded her, "Pudding hamsters look purebred, but most of them are not, and they have a high risk of suffering from diabetes. People often blame the diabetes on their laziness and large appetites, but they're innocent! In short, if you're going to raise hamsters at home or in school, it would be better for you to raise ordinary Djungarian hamsters or Winter White hamsters like Xiao Ling. Remember to raise purebred hamsters only."

Wang Yaning no longer had anything to say.

Lu Yiyun also secretly remembered the information, as it could be useful for her if she needed to refute customer remarks in the future.

Little Celery asked worriedly, "Will Xiao Ling have diabetes? Is diabetes life threatening?"

Zhang Zian comforted her, "Diabetes is not terrible, but it is a bit troublesome. Xiao Ling is a purebred Winter White hamster, so genetically speaking the probability of it contracting diabetes is relatively low. As long as it maintains a healthy and reasonable diet, and exercises diligently, its chances can be further lowered. In fact, its lifespan depends on exercise, which is also true for humans and other animals."

He glanced at Zhan Tian who was lying in the corner.

"However, even if Xiao Ling unfortunately suffers from diabetes, Little Celery won't abandon it, right?" He asked though he already knew the answer.

"I will not abandon my friends!" said Little Celery, clenching her fists.

Zhang Zian laughed. "That's good, I believe you, Little Celery. You've rarely ever caught a cold, have you? Because you like sports so much and everytime I see you, you're always running to and from school."

"I've never caught a cold because I like eating celery. My mother says that celery helps keep a cold away!" Little Celery chuckled.

"These vegetables aren't the best," murmured the woman at the produce shelf.  She sighed and picked up several anyway.
"I'm sorry about their condition," Robert said, knowing that they were throw-aways from his dad's other shops.
"No, child, it's all right.  If I could afford the better things, I'd probably be grabbing something other than some carrots and potatoes." She smiled at him, as if making a joke, then gently laid the bruised items on his new counter.
Robert counted them carefully, feeling awful at the condition of some of them, "That will be four copper, please."
She turned her worn leather pouch over and four battered copper pieces fell out.  "I should be able to make a good soup out of these.  Maybe my husband will be able to bring home a piece of meat tonight."
"How are your children doing?" he asked as she placed them into her bag.
She gave him a soft smile and said, "They are getting better.  Little Jared was able to get up out of bed for a short while. Anna was still too weak, but I think they should all recover quicker now that there's food available again.  Boiled leather tastes awful."
"I know that sickness was really hard on everyone," Robert said, thinking about his mom.
"I'm just grateful that I didn't lose any of them.  In fact, I should probably hurry home and check up on them.  Have a good day, young man!"
He watched her leave, and turned to get the broom.  It had rained overnight, and everyone was tracking in mud and dirt when they came in.  He heard that it was supposed to rain again tonight.
The door opened and a short stocky man, with a thick beard entered and looked around.  Robert blinked and realized it wasn't a man, but a dwarf!
"Welcome to my shop.  How may I help you?" he asked.
"I heard ye had some basic things for sale, ah! Here they are!" he rumbled, turning to the shelf that held the adventuring gear Robert's father supplied him with.
"Hmm, do ye have any tools?  Maybe some shovels, or axes?  They don't have to be very sturdy, just basic ones that if I leave behind, I won't miss."
"No, I'm sorry but I don't.  All of my supplies that you see there, are sent by my father.  Would you like for me to request some of those?"
Robert watched the dwarf scratch his head as he looked through the things on the shelf, then turned to him.
"Ye might want to consider that.  Ye look young to be runnin' a shop.  Are ye considered a man yet?"
"I am old enough to marry, if I wanted to," said Robert, feeling uncomfortable under the dwarf's hard gaze.  He fought to keep from squirming like a little boy.
The dwarf chuckled and shook his head.  "Ye humans marry as babes.  That doesn't mean much.  If ye are old enough to be called a grown man, why do ye let your father pick your goods?  Do you get any say in the matter?  If someone were to come to you with goods for sale, would you have the coin to buy them, assuming you wanted to?"
Robert cocked his head to the side, suddenly realizing what the dwarf was doing, and started laughing.  "Do you have something to sell to me, good dwarf?"
The dwarf gave out a loud guffaw and pointed at him.  "That's what I'm talking about!  I guess I can deal with ye as dwarf to man if ye can see through me talk that easy."
"Let's see what you have available, and how much you're looking to get for it," said Robert, excited about his first possible trade.  He had watched his father deal with people over and over, imagining himself in his place, and now he was getting that chance with a dwarf!
"Well, based on the stuff you have for sale, I'll skip to my cheapest items," said the dwarf, taking off his bag with a thud.  Pulling the straps open, he shoved his hand into it and dug around for a moment.  Pulling out several whetstones.
"I already have some whetstones," said Robert, looking over at the shelf that they were on.  He had two left.
"I've got too many, and these are dwarven whetstones.  See?  I've carved a dwarven mark on the end here.  If ye buy them all, I'll part with them for 2 copper each."
Robert shook his head.  "Even if they are dwarven, they're still only whetstones.  Besides, I sell mine for 2 copper.  I would be losing money with that trade."
The dwarf pondered that for a minute, then nodded.  "All right, ye strike a hard bargain.  I'm fixing to head home, and really don't want to haul these extra weights with me.  I'll sell them to ye for a copper a piece if ye'll buy em."
Robert thought about that.  He would make the money back, when he sold them, and it would keep him from having to get some more from his dad.  With a sigh he nodded.
"Alright, I'll buy them.  Do you have anything else?" he asked pulling out the two copper.
The dwarf set the two stones on the counter and reached into his bag again.  Robert ended up buying a map case, a crowbar, a couple of torches and a couple of daggers by the end.  Never paying more than half of what he charged for his own, the dwarf quickly learned what his top price was and they were both happy with the final results.  Paying him, Robert watched him leave before placing the items on the shelves for sale.
No sooner had he reached for the broom again, than the door opened again.
"Good afternoon, sir," said the adventurer who entered.  It was the same man who had promised to find out about the other two adventurers who were arrested.
"Good afternoon," responded Robert, setting the broom back in its corner and turning to give the man his whole attention.  "Did you find anything out?"
"I was going to come right back, but then I discovered something worth far more than just 2 silver," said the adventurer with a smile.
Robert narrowed his eyes.  He had assumed, when the guy didn't come back the very next day, that there wasn't much to find out, but now he was thinking the guy was just wanting to milk him of money.
"Look, whatever you discovered, I agreed to pay you only 2 silver.  If you think," Robert started to say, but the guy held up his hand, cutting him off.
"I know what we agreed, and for 2 silver, I'll tell you what you want to know.  The person behind those two is Lord Richmond.  But if you are wanting more information, then I want a full gold instead."
Robert shook his head.  If this was involving Lord Clark Richmond, he needed to inform his dad and not have this adventurer poking his nose around.  If it got back to the powers that be, that he was sending people around investigating such prominent people, he would be in serious trouble.
Handing him the 2 silver, Robert said, "Thank you for letting me know.  Here's your 2 silver.  While I would be very interested in the rest of your information, I'm afraid I don't have the gold to spare."
The guy took the 2 silver, then stood there, looking down at it.  He hefted it in his hand, and Robert wondered what was wrong.
"Kid, you've been honest and fair with me, which I'll say is nice after some of the other crooks in this city.  I'll tell you the other for free.  Word is that the king will be coming soon, and there's going to be a lot of people coming to the city.  Especially adventurers looking for some coin.  Since you are the only store near this gate, you're about to get a lot of business.  The Lord Richmond is wanting your land to build an inn and develop the area.  What I heard, is that he's planning to get rid of the poor people in this area, and then drive you out."
Robert shook his head.  If that was what Clark wanted to do, he was going about it all wrong.  Hector, Robert's father, would fight with tooth and nail to keep this store open, because of the reason's this man had just stated.  Plus, the poor people would never go away.  Even if the lord found some way to make these poor people poof into the air, others would quickly follow.  Robert had seen enough to know that where you have one person with money, you would always have another without.
"Thank you for the information," said Robert as the adventurer left.
Picking up his broom, he finally managed to sweep the floor clean.  Putting it up, he heard the door open and turned to see a group of kids peeking into the store.
"Welcome, how can I help you?" he said with a forced smile.
These were poor kids, and he had heard plenty of stories about how they were thieves and up to no good, but they were also customers that might have coin to buy something.
"Sir, we don't have much money, but we were wondering if you had any three-day old bread?" asked the oldest boy.
"Sorry," said Robert, shaking his head.  "I sold out of bread at lunch time.  I should have some more tomorrow, after my morning delivery."
They looked at each other, several clutching the rags they wore, over their stomachs, all of them wearing panicked and sad faces.
"Wish there was a soup kitchen still," whispered one, and the others nodded.
"Alright, we'll be here in the morning," said the older boy, putting the coins back into his pocket.  They left looking rather dejected.
"Wait, what do you mean there's no soup kitchen anymore?" asked Robert, before the door could close.
"One of the lords ordered for it to be taken down.  Said it was a disgrace.  Us orphans have nowhere to go now," explain the eldest boy.
"Though, there's talk of an orphan's house, where we might be able to go," said one of the younger kids.
"Don't be a fool, Timmy, those places are horrible."
"How would you know?"
"My mom told me they was!"
Robert watched all of the fight go out of them at the mention of the mother, and they all just turned and walked away.  If he thought they were acting, maybe it would have made his heart break a little less, but the gaunt faces, and skeletal hands that stuck out of their ragged clothes, only confirmed his suspicions.  The lord behind this had to be Lord Clark Richmond, and Robert was starting to hate the guy.

Bob wasn't always Bob.  And he definitely wasn't all knowing, as he is now.  This is his story, about how he came to be the God of Shared Knowledge, and an innkeeper/barkeeper.

Perhaps it was because the Old Woman was amused by her grandson, when she turned head and looked at Xian Guiying, she didn't have any ugly expression. She just glanced at her before snorting, "You're finally awake."
"Grandmother, it's morning. How about your sleep last night?" Xian Guiying walked confidently. Without looking at Qin Gengxin, she went and took the empty cup from the Old Woman's hand.
"It's not bad. When we were in G City,  Xiaowen deliberately gave me a hard bed according to my preferences. Because I lived a rough life when I was a child, I used to sleep on a hard bed. Yet, even if the bed in your guest room is soft, it's still quite comfortable." As the Old Woman spoke, her gaze swept Xian Guiying, who was still smiling before shifting to Qin Gengxin. "Gengxin, why don't you bring the child down? Is Wenqian not up yet?"
Asked about his child, Qin Gengxin turned to look at Xian Guiying. Xian Guiying didn't want the Old Woman to suspect anything, so she sat down next to her and raised her head with a smile as she said, "Wenqian has been up for a long time, but she's playing with the servant in her room. Grandma, please don't be offended by what happened yesterday."
The Old Woman looked at her, accepted her explanation, and didn't say anything else.
The reason why Xian Guiying didn't bring Qin Wenqian down was that there were too many strangers, and she couldn't get used to it. Another reason was that Qin Wenqian was allergic to pets, and because of the small white Labrador Retriever at the Old Woman's feet, Xian Guiying should prevent Qin Wenqian from having too much contact with her.
Also, Qin Gengxin hadn't been home for two years, so when Qin Wenqian suddenly saw her father, the unconcealable joy she felt would definitely let the people from the Qin Family see through her. This was something that Xian Guiying did not wish for.  In order to prevent any mishap from happening, she could only have the servant accompany Qin Wenqian in her room as time passed.
When Qin Xiaowen and Mrs. Qin had gone downstairs, Dalisay and Darna were busy preparing breakfast.
Xian Guiying didn't eat her breakfast first. She used clean chopsticks to pick up some dishes for the seniors. Since the Old Woman was accustomed to eating Chinese food, today's breakfast was Chinese food. There was some steamed bread and porridge.
When she sat down again, she was about to start eating when the Dumpling Soup was brought over from the plate in front of her.
She paused, turning her head to look at Qin Gengxin, who had a natural expression. Thinking that he was pretending to act as if they were a normal couple in front of the people of the Qin Family, Xian Guiying faintly smiled, lowered her head, and ate the dumpling.
After that, Mrs. Qin insisted on seeing Qin Wenqian, and Qin Gengxin happened to have received a phone call at the time. There was an urgent problem in the company, so he left in a hurry after breakfast.
In the evening, Xian Guiying asked Darna and Dalisay to clean up the dog's fur that was left behind in the living room when she heard the sound of a car from outside. When Qin Gengxin walked through the door, he saw two servants cleaning the dog's fur on the carpet. "What are you doing? I remember you used to love those little cats and dogs."
Xian Guiying didn't answer his question, she just replied, "Grandmother and dad saw that you were too busy, so they just called the driver to take them to a hotel near Qin's, and they said they wanted to stay there for two days, so they could see you."
Qin Gengxin looked at his cell phone. He had a meeting at the company, so he set up mute mode and then forgot to return the ringtone mode. Only then did he see the missed calls.
Then when he returned, he saw the carpet had been cleaned. Xian Guiying also checked to see if there was any dog fur on the carpet. He frowned and asked, "Xian Guiying, since when did you become like this?
Xian Guiying immediately raised her head and said, "Qin Gengxin, before I get angry, you better pay attention to your attitude!"
Having known him for almost eleven years, Xian Guiying had never been so cold or so impatient with him. Qin Gengxin immediately stared into her mist-like eyes, his brows gradually furrowed.
Xian Guiying stood up immediately and turned around to look around the couch. The seriousness in her eyes was obvious.
Qin Gengxin frowned. "The Old Woman indeed has a bad temper, but she's still an eighty years old woman. She's been bratty and stubborn all her life. As long as that's not a matter of principle, can't you as her junior try your best to tolerate her? It's just a dog, but look at you, what's with this attitude?!"
Xian Guiying picked up the pillow on the couch, her fingers caressing the pillow silently, but she didn't explain or even look at him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qin Family was here yesterday, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to talk to Qin Gengxin at all. They even stayed together under the same roof.
Now that people from the Qin Family were not here, he will also be gone, so why should she answer his question and discuss this now?
For Qin Gengxin, the arrival of Qin Wenqian was the end of his life as he was forced to marry Xian Guiying. He never cared for his daughter and never even looked at her. He bought toys for the children of others but never bought plastic dolls for his daughter. So, why did Xian Guiying have to explain so much to him?
Seeing that Xian Guiying just ignored him in silence, Qin Gengxin's gaze immediately became colder.
He still remembered that he had brought her to a night market many years ago, where there were many small vendors selling pets. Although Xian Guiying usually looks cold, she was very fond of the little animal. Even though she was twenty-two years old at the time, she was still squatting next to some cages, touching kittens, puppies, and hamsters with beautiful smiles on her face. She even said that these little pets were too pitiful, and she really wanted to carry them all back.
At that time, Qin Gengxin laughed at her. In this world, there were too many small pets that were being sold every day.
Xian Guiying also said that he had no sympathy at all and that these little pets were too cute, she really meant to buy two to accompany her at her house.
It was back then, but now, just because the Old Woman likes dogs, she bought a puppy to live with them for a day or two. How could she, Xian Guiying, be so annoyed with it?
Did she hate the dog, or was she rejecting everything that had to do with his grandmother?
Just being together with the Old Woman and her pet for one day was already enough to make Xian Guiying being so unreasonable and unfeeling. After the Old Woman left, she started cleaning up the place like a germaphobe.
This caused the space between Qin Gengxin's eyebrows to tighten further as he looked at her with a slightly cold look.


She was used by her boyfriend to trap someone. Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. 

He is the CEO of one of the largest companies and the heir of the Xian Family. His heart died once. But what will happen when the two of them meet? Will something ignite between them with their past hang over their shoulders? Will they learn to love again?

Sweet Beauty [On-Going]

Xia Fan dragged Lu Zhiyu to the side to sit, and the two were immediately surrounded by Xia Fan's friends. At once, her friends began bombarding him with questions that were quite private, most of which Lu Zhiyu did not know how to answer. This caused him to feel very awkward.
"You do look super handsome!" one of the girls said. "You're not a celebrity, are you?"
"This is the first time I've met someone so handsome. What's your skincare routine? It just looks too good!" another asked.
"Are you mixed-race? Your facial structure looks like mixed-race."
"How did you know Xia Fan? Have you two..."
"Xia Fan is really a winner in life. She looks so pretty and hot herself. Moreover, her new boyfriend is even more attractive than her ex! Man, I'm so jealous!"
On the other hand, Xia Fan started making up the love story between the two of them, and it sounded as though it really happened. Her friends were mesmerized by her story, looking at her and Lu Zhiyu with wide eyes. In particular, when Lu Zhiyu gave Xia Fan her gift, she immediately put it on and asked him for a kiss as if they were in love. Lu Zhiyu actually did know how to respond.
During the dinner, Xia Fan's male friends also hounded him with alcohol. He was asked to drink throughout the dinner—the glass in his hand was never empty the entire night.
After the dinner, the group continued the party at a karaoke bar. After that, they went out to have barbecue, followed by a late night supper. The party started before it was dark, and did not end until two in the morning, when everyone left.
Lu Zhiyu again had to carry Xia Fan on his back to take her home. However, as soon as they rounded a street corner and were out of the sight of Xia Fan's friends, she jumped up as if nothing had happened.
"You were faking it?" Lu Zhiyu asked with his eyes widened.
Xia Fan rolled her eyes. "What do you think? I didn't even drink that much. You did most of the drinking for me."
Xia Fan strolled down the road, feeling the breeze on her face. The breeze was rejuvenating and enough to clear her head. "I am so happy today! Did you see how they looked at me? Their eyeballs almost fell out in envy!" she said as she walked. "God, it was such a good idea to take you. They've been talking behind my back. Now those little b*tches are clear who is the most attractive girl in the school!"
Xia Fan strolled proudly on the street. Then, she turned around and walked with her head facing Lu Zhiyu, chatting with him as she walked. She was indeed very happy today since Lu Zhiyu had made her look better than the rest of her friends. Nevertheless, Lu Zhiyu himself did not quite understand this kind of competition among young girls.
Suddenly, she seemed to have recalled something and raised up her hand. "By the way, I like your gift a lot. Thanks!"
"No problem," Lu Zhiyu said at once. After he stopped by his car, he asked, "Want a lift home?"
"Sure," Xia Fan nodded, "to your place." Seeing Lu Zhiyu freeze at her words, she laughed and said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean it. My mom said that I have to go back tonight. Otherwise, she will kill me tomorrow!"
Lu Zhiyu twitched his lips. "Alright, get in. I did have some alcohol, though. Do you trust me?" He had originally intended to call someone to drive for him, but he did not feel very drunk. Furthermore, it was in the middle of the night and there would not be any police around. Xia Fan lived nearby, so he would rather drive himself.
He dropped Xia Fan off at her apartment. Xia Fan jumped out of his car and asked, "You felt something when I said I wanted to go to your place, didn't you?"
Lu Zhiyu frowned in disdain and immediately wanted to explain, but he was stopped by Xia Fan. "Don't try to find an excuse. I saw that you were going to agree. You pervert!"
"..."
The two stared at each other in silence, after which they burst into a fit of laughter together. "You should go back now," he told her. "Call me if you need anything."
He did not notice the missed calls from Li Wei until he got home. His phone was dead, so he did not receive the calls at all. Sh*t! She is so prone to jealousy and will definitely get mad at me tomorrow...
More importantly, he did not have a good reason for not picking up her calls. Could he tell her that he was at a birthday party of another female and was playing until early morning? In that case, Lu Zhiyu might as well kill himself.
As expected, Li Wei interrogated him the next day. After that, the two spent a few days together. For Lu Zhiyu, the break was very relaxing and his mood turned much better.
His pet shop was booming as well. He would only purchase an animal for his pet shop after careful inspection, making sure that its bloodline was good and there was nothing wrong with it. Even if there was, he could always make them healthy again himself. Therefore, the animals in his shop looked better than those in other shops. He also tried some slight modifications to the animals' hair colors and pupil colors, and his customers all had very pleasant experiences buying pets from him.
In particular, training the pets was also a very easy task because of his mind power. All the animals that were trained by him were more intelligent and could perform many ordinary actions. Because of this, it was only normal that his shop was becoming more and more popular.
Lu Zhiyu managed to sell two dozen pets in just a few days, which included cats, dogs, hamsters, and parrots. The money he made in these few days was as much as what he would make in a few months in the past. Lu Zhiyu did not expect this job to earn him so much. His original intention was only to study and understand these animals, and practise modifying genes, but the business in his shop was actually booming.
"Xiao Le, are you ready to clock out? Is Lu Zhiyu here?" Today, Li Wei was wearing a Bohemia-style long dress and a pair of burgundy heels. Paired with her slender body, she looked really charming and elegant. She had a bit of makeup, and her temperament was just amazing.
"Wow," Xiao Le exclaimed, looking at her. "You look great today."
Li Wei grinned. "Really?"
Xiao Le nodded. "The boss is inside," she said. "He's training the two Golden Retrievers."
After Li Wei walked in, she saw Lu Zhiyu sitting on a bench. He was commanding two Golden Retrievers like a commander.
"Raise your hands!"
"Spin. That's right!"
"Lie down!"
"Shoot, shoot. Bang!"
If the puppies followed the command correctly, he would immediately toss them a piece of beef jerky.
Li Wei sat down next to him. "They're so smart. Why don't you keep one at home?"
"Having them here is pretty much the same thing," Lu Zhiyu immediately said. "Plus, I don't have time to take care of a personal pet." He put the two puppies back into their crate and quickly inspected the shop. Then, he closed the shop so that he could accompany Li Wei home.
Li Wei stood gracefully in front of Lu Zhiyu. "What do you think of me today?"
Lu Zhiyu looked at her face and eyes sternly. "You look beautiful today!"
"I'm talking about the dress. Why are you looking at my face?" She slapped Lu Zhiyu's shoulder in dissatisfaction.
"The dress is not important." Lu Zhiyu shrugged his shoulders. "Your face is the key!"
Li Wei giggled. Carrying her bag, she grabbed Lu Zhiyu's hand and leaned against his shoulder. Then, the two began walking home together. Lu Zhiyu had to admit that he was enjoying this moment.


By accident, Lu Zhiyu found the entrance to a low-dimensional world, and thus began a totally different journey!

Free to control everything in the low-dimensional game, Lu Zhiyu felt like a gamemaster, and even God.


"Remember, you shouldn't expect others to do the things that you are not able to do yourself. If you want your woman to be forever faithful to you, then you must control the lower half of your body!" Yun Luofeng sneered, "If you want others to stay faithful, then you had better do your part!"
Stay faithful?
Everyone who was about to leave was stunned and turned back to look at Yun Luofeng. For numerous years, they have always been preaching about a woman staying faithful, but it was their first time hearing about men staying faithful...
"I recognize this middle-aged man. That year, his 32nd concubine was not content with her lot, there was a rumor saying that she schemed and caused the first wife to have a miscarriage. As a result, the first wife wanted to punish the concubine but was ruthlessly beaten by her husband! Feeling despondent with his actions, she fled together with her childhood sweetheart...
"This… is this matter true? It's no wonder he was furious when he was mistaken about this lady and Lin Jun having an affair, and even brought out the Confucian moral injunctions for women.
"Women should stay faithful, but favoring the concubine and doing away with the wife is also something intolerable. It's no wonder his wife ran off with someone else…"
"Unfortunately, not long after his wife ran away, she was caught by him. In addition, he tied both of them to a pole and burned them to death!"
The voices of these people's discussion were heard by the middle-aged man, causing his expression to become increasingly awkward. However, he still did not feel that he was in the wrong! As long as he recalled the scene of that adulterous couple making love on the bed, his stomach was just like it had been set on fire, and he wished he could pull them out of the grave and whip their corpses.
Yun Luofeng turned and coldly threw out a sentence.
"If you don't get lost now, then you don't have to think of leaving here."
Whoosh! After her words were spoken, those people hastily ran and left, and their traces instantly disappeared.
Lin Yuan weakly spoke, "Can I leave too?"
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrow. "You don't want your daughter anymore?"
"No, I don't want her anymore!" Lin Yuan smiled in a flattering manner, "Can I leave now?"
"Yun Xiao, let him go!"
Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes. This Lin Yuan was still temporarily useful, so she had left him alive but he didn't have much longer left. 
Feeling as if he was granted amnesty, Lin Yuan left without turning back. He had even staggered and nearly fell to the ground...
Seeing that he was about to disappear, Lin Ruoxin anxiously called out, "Father, don't leave me here!"
Unfortunately, for someone like Lin Yuan, regardless of how much he hated to part with Lin Ruoxin, he would absolutely never throw away his life because of her! Therefore, his footsteps did not stop as he hastily left the tent...
Lin Ruoxin expression was deathly pale, while her despairing gaze looked towards Yun Luofeng. "What are you going to do to me?"
"My pets lack a playmate," Yun Luofeng quirked her lips, "and you happened to appear at the right time!"
All of a sudden, countless gold-seeking hamsters appeared out of thin air within the tent shortly after. Those hamsters sharpened their teeth while they sinisterly stared at Lin Ruoxin.
At present, Lin Ruoxin no longer had time to investigate how these gold-seeking hamsters appeared out of thin air. Her eyes contained confusion as she got up, thinking of running out of the tent. She had only run a few steps before the densely packed gold-seeking hamsters pushed her down from behind and bit on her flesh without the slightest hesitation...
"Bite, bite her!" Xiao Mo sat on the bed and brandished his small fist as he spoke, "Milk Tea, Meng Meng, bite her thighs. Queen hamster, you and the left chancellor shall bite her chest! The other chancellors shall bite the other body parts!"


Yun Luofeng, the genius of Huaxia Medicial School, died from an accident, and her soul attached onto the useless Eldest Miss of the General Estate in Longxia Continent.
Not only was this trash ungifted in the literary arts and martial arts, but she was also big chested without a brain, arrogant, and self-willed. It was not enough for her to have a perfect fiancé like the Crown Prince. She actually forcibly snatched a pretty boy in public, leading to the Crown Prince to annul their engagement.
However, the waste could not withstand this shock, so she actually hung herself to end her life.
Opening her eyes again, she was no longer the previous useless eldest miss.
With a contract with the Medical God's Code, the possession of a spiritual plant space, and miraculous hands that can bring the dead back to life, her medical skills will stun the world! Extending from the royals and nobles on top to the merchants and old and influential families below, they will all compete to curry her favor. Even His Highness the Crown Prince, who previously broke the engagement, came knocking on the door with a desire to reconcile?
In regard to this, a certain mysterious man finally could not endure it anymore and proclaimed, “Whoever dares to come and harass my woman, let them come but never return!”

On the busy streets, neatly dressed Orcs, Gnomes, Werewolves, other creatures, and Winterfell citizens were waiting at the public Beetlemon stop for the late public Beetlemon. 
Behind the Beetlemon stop was a Magic Stone bank, NeverReturnMoney.
At the bank entrance, a fully armored Orc guard was chatting happily with a female Orc bank employee. The female Orc looked disinterested.
"….the Sludge Monster said to me, 'It's not intentional that I ate your table.' Hahaha. He ate my table. Hahaha, ha…" The Orc guard laughed, but the female Orc was emotionless. The Orc guard stopped laughing and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes," the female Orc replied quickly.
"Good… wait for a moment, those three…"
The Orc guard frowned as his hand reached for the sword at his waist. The female Orc took a glance and ran off immediately.
Three Hamsters with a mix of black and white fur wore shades as their claws grasped a large black bag. They stood at the side of the public Beetlemon stop, facing the bank. Their location had the most creatures passing through.
A fat Hamster gestured to his two companions to get ready.
Behind him was a rounded Hamster who raised up his claws abruptly.
"Big Boss, can we eat after this heist?"
"Fat Otaku, you have other options besides eating. You should stand out and do something that you'll not do for an entire life."
The Big Boss Hamster turned his head and placed his claw on Fat Otaku's shoulder.
The Hamster on the right surveyed the surroundings and said, "Big Boss, there are more creatures now. Shall we…"
"Okay."
Big Boss nodded and placed the black bag on the ground. He squatted down and used his meaty paw to take out an item from the bag—a black magical loudspeaker.
The two Hamsters behind him took out a guitar and piano from the bags.
Big Boss bent down and placed a big bowl in front.
"Deng, deng, deng~deng, deng, deng~"
Fat Otaku plucked the strings of the guitar, which produced notes belonging to the musical style of Western Cowboys.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong."
Second Boss played the piano, which emitted deep moody music.
The two instruments repeated and complemented each other.
Big Boss inhaled, and his chest was puffed up. Then, he sang in a helium-voice, "Don't ask me where I came from~My homeland is…"
"Sh*t! It sounds terrible!"
"D*mn! I'm going to vomit my dinner from last night!"
"Shall I give you money not to sing? Stop singing!"
Before long, the bowl in front of Big Boss was filled with rocks, soil, and worm skins.
Fat Otaku threw his guitar to the side and started eating the edible food on the ground.
A compassionate Succubus with canvas shoes and a slanted backpack walked over and placed a Magic Stone into the bowl. 
"Though life's difficult, you have to buck up!"
The three Hamsters gathered together. They opened their eyes widely as tears welled up.
"That's the group! Catch them!"
"Don't run!"
While the three Hamsters were moved by the Succubus' gesture, a team of Winterfell Garrison Guards charged over.
"Run!"
The three Hamsters grabbed the Succubus, who gave a shrill scream. Then they fled together.
"Eh? Wait! Why am I running? I'm going to work!" the Succubus shouted in panic. She wanted to be rid of the Hamsters, but they had an unknown strength that she couldn't throw off. She was being pulled along.
The three Hamsters and the Succubus ran into a blind alley as the Winterfell Garrison Guards charged over.
…
"Wait! We're innocent! We just sang a song on the streets! Is that wrong?"
"Shut up! You're a wanted arsonist! You have another jailbreak crime!"
"Big Boss! When did you become an arsonist? And a jailbreak too?"
"I've finished playing the guitar. Can we eat?"
"Shut up! Both of you! Both of you are guilty of arson and jailbreak too!"
"Wait, I'm just a Succubus passerby. I'm not related to them. I have to work!"
"Shut up! Do you think we'll believe you without bail?"
"Board the Beetlemon! Bring them back!"
…
At the Winterfell Garrison Guard Station…
A lamp was pulled over, and the blinding magic light made Succubus Evelynn squint her eyes. 
A Gnome Garrison guard sat opposite Evelynn. He slapped down a form on the table and said, "Female Bathroom Attendant of Winterfell Special Talent Center, Door Guard of Beyond Expensive Estate Sale Department, and Merchant Alliance Office Intern. The people whom you claimed know you didn't vouch for your innocence! What do you say?" 
"I… I don't know the three Hamsters…"
Evelynn's eyes were filled with tears as she looked on with grievances.
"Evelynn! How dare you say you don't know them!" The Gnome slammed on the table and said, "You've called them three Hamsters!"
"But I was really rushing to work. I saw them busker on the streets and felt that they were cute and pitiful, so I gave them a Magic Stone to encourage them. I really didn't know they were wanted criminals."
As Evelynn was about to continue to speak, she was interrupted by another slam on the table. The Gnome shouted, "Do you think that the Winterfell Garrison Guard will believe your nonsense?" 
The Gnome continued yelling, "Is there anyone who can prove your innocence? Or bail you out? If there isn't, I'll pronounce you guilty! We've prepared the verdict."
"Wait, I haven't gone through a trial."
Evelynn was trying to defend herself when the Gnome slammed on the table and shouted, "What a joke! Contempt of the Garrison Guard, you'll get a heavier sentence!" 
"Wait, wait a moment! Let me think!" Evelynn was about to cry as she pondered. Then she quickly said, "Lord Sherlock! Yes, Lord Sherlock still owes me five Magic Stones. He can prove my innocence. No, he can bail me out!"
…
Sherlock sat in front of the computer as he controlled the Undead on the screen to execute an ultimate roll to evade the fatal blow of a Devil BOSS.
Because he was focusing on the computer, he didn't notice a letter on the table.
Until he made a wrong maneuver and was crushed to death by the BOSS. 
"Shucks—"
Sherlock lifted his head, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and inhaled through the openings between his teeth.
"Lord Sherlock, take a rest before continuing your research. You have a letter that just arrived," Bru said.
Sherlock pushed the computer aside and looked at the letter that contained the words "Mr. Sherlock—Winterfell Garrison Guards".
"Since when did I have dealings with the Winterfell Garrison Guards?" Sherlock frowned. He was sure he didn't know them.
"I don't know. Did you empty the Ancient Ruins? I mean, were the gamers discovered when they emptied the Ancient Ruins?" Bru asked speculatively.
Sherlock shook his head and remained silent. He picked up the letter and started reading.
"Mr. Sherlock, Miss Evelynn indicated you as her bail guarantor. After receiving this letter, please proceed to the Winterfell Garrison Guard Station to apply for her bail. Remember to bring enough money for the bail—Winterfell Garrison Guard Station."


Sherlock is a new generation Dungeon Lord whose ambition is to become the greatest Devil King and building up the greatest Dungeon in the Underworld.
He summons a group of other-worldly goblins who give themselves strange names, form cliques, engage in commerce, and even fight among themselves.
They call themselves—Gamers!

It has been a week since my birth, in this time I have confirmed that I am in a world with Pokemon. A noticeable difference between the world of Pokemon from Earth and this world is that, this world has non-Pokemon animals. Another notable difference comes from the fact that Pokemon are the favorite pets to have. So most of the more Earthian animals have retained their wild instincts and have stayed in their primal bloodlines. This means that the animals that can be livestock are the same as Earth (Cows, pigs, etc...), but there are no pets such as cats, dogs, or hamsters.

My family lives in a fairly good looking house. The outside walls are painted light grey with white accents along the edges. The entrance is a set of wooden doors with a beautiful circular crest engraved into the wood. The house is about three stories high, but it is only split into 2 floors and an attic. The floor area on the first floor is split between the living room, dining room, kitchen, garage, and a bathroom. The second floor is smaller than the first only having three bedrooms, one full bath and a bathroom. All this makes our house is pretty big and it is full of the latest useful innovations in home technology. My parents apparently moved here for my birth as there are still some unopened boxes laying throughout the house.

I have my own room which is absolutely amazing. I can see my happy future of enjoying this room without having to share with a brother. The room itself is massive (about 6 meters by 10 meters) and has some unique architecture playfully added around the room. The room is a rectangle with a large window on the right side of the far wall. Along the walls to the right is a set of three windows with a sky light in the middle of the ceiling. The room has a 4 meter by 4 meter square loft space covering the close left corner and four wooden closets are fitted into the far wall. My crib is in front of the middle window on the right side, but other than that my room is sparsely decorated with having plain white walls. It seems that my parents are taking the approach that I will change things in my room as I grew up, so why add anything now. I am quite in favor of this, already making plans for what I am going to do to my room.

Moving on to myself. My ears have cleared up, so I have discovered that the people here speak a different language that I have never heard before. But the language does seem to have Greek and Latin sounds in it, so I am thankfully not completely starting from scratch. Weirdly though, Pokemon and people seem to have English names that could be found on Earth.

My mom's name is Ceto and my father's is Lucifer. My name on the other hand is completely terrible. *sigh* Who names their child Beyond? Like really, who names their kid Beyond. *sigh* I just hope that it fits my last name. So to sum up; my parents love me, I am now living in an amazing house, I get a wonderful room, I am living with Pokemon, and the only negative is a dumb name. Sounds like a good deal to me. *sigh*

[3 weeks later]

I am now about one month old, in this time I have learned to pick up on what my parents are talking about. I don't acutely know what they are saying though, just good guesses. With my slight growth I have gained basic movement capabilities, such as being able to move my arms and legs. Sadly though, I am still a few months away from walking or standing.

In this time I have been outside the vicinity of the house twice and saw some wild Pokemon and other creatures about. The town I live in is surprisingly well established and is surrounded by a forest. 

Today my parents have been packing for a camping trip and are almost done. I am super excited to see where we will go and what Pokemon we will see.

[A few hours later]

I hate being a baby, you fall asleep at random and can't fall asleep when you what to. So, when I woke up we were at the campsite. The camping site is at a clearing in some forest. Right now I am laying in a hammock in between two trees. From my position I can see Mom and Dad getting the campsite ready with the help of Umbreon and Typhlosion. After watching for a bit, sleep over takes me and I fall asleep.

Having died and been reborn into the world of Pokemon. Beyond starts to explore the mysteries of Pokemon and the world they live in. All the while rising to the top.

"Oh my god boss, this car is just too awesome. One step on the gas pedal and ….. I freaking love it! But boss, didn't you say you were short on funds?" Driving this brand new Ford F750 around, Robins can only be said to be excited. Yes, excited. In fact, no matter who is driving this beast, they will all be excited. Jiang Hai doesn't have his driver's license yet, otherwise there is no way that Robins would be the one currently driving.
"There is no problem. This amount of spending can only be said to be spare change." Jiang Hai said happily.
Yup, what Jiang Hai bought is the Ford F750. Normally the biggest pickup available on market in China is the F650 with a base price tag of 3,000,000 yuan. It is already big enough to be awe-inspiring. However in America, the bigger 750 already existed. The starting price of the 650 here is $35,000 while the 750 is at $48,000.
After inquiring about the prices, Jiang Hai paid the asking price without any haggling or hesitation. Swipe the card and pick up the cars. Furthermore with just this time alone, he paid for 3 trucks. 2 F750 and 1 F650. The 2 750 is for the farm while the 650 is for him to fool around with when he gets his license upgraded.
These car's prices can be considered to be pretty cheap. Compared to those supercars that easily cost a few million and on, these $500,000 pickups can only be said to be a bargain. After paying for these trucks, Jiang Hai drove off with one on the spot. The other 2 alone with Robins' old pickup will of course be delivered back to the estate by Durufle.
Along the way, Jiang Hai experienced first hand the feeling of being superior than everyone else. If he says he wasn't excited then he really is a retard. Of course the one most excited here is Robins; who is driving this beast. Their original plan was to buy the trucks first then go adopt some dogs. Generally there are a very few places which straight up sell dogs in America; especially for likes of cattle dogs. Usually people try to request them from others. If they are rejected, then will adopt some stray dogs under the condition that they are smart enough.
However now with their new car, their plans changed. After a special round trip around the town to satisfy their cravings, they reluctantly drove to the town's animal shelter. When this black beast arrived in front of the animal shelter, all the dogs inside started to bark non stop. This is also the first time a beast of this size appeared in the town. When the workers inside heard the dog's bark, they all walked out to see what the cause is and what appeared infront of them is this monstrous beast.
*Peng* *Peng* Out came Jiang Hai and Robins as they jumped down. This car is seriously big and tall. The footstep to the ground has a distance of almost a meter. But this does not trouble Jiang Hai and Robins at all as they landed on the ground.
"Hi there, how may I help you?" A nervous girl came over and said, baffled.
Although she doesn't understand cars, but seeing the car in front of her, her instincts tell her this car is very expensive. That also means these two are definitely rich. But as to why these rich people are here, she has no clue.
"Um, it's like this. I'm the new owner of the Green Forest, and I'm thinking of raising some cows. So I am currently in need of some cattle dogs, which is why I am here to see if there are any here." Jiang Hai happily explained.
The girl in front of him is around 5'3. Caucasian, a bit chubby with some freckles.
"Oh, so it's like this, follow me." Hearing Jiang Hai is here to adopt pets, although having already guessed their intentions, the girl still smiled.
In these shelters, there are no workers, but only volunteers. It can be said most of the people who work here are all compassionate. What they really want to see is the animals here be adopted by families. Especially rich families like Jiang Hai's.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Jiang Hai muttered before following the girl in.
As soon as they entered the shelter, Jiang Hai is astonished by it's size. This shelter is really … big. There are many different species here. Not only do they house pet cats and dogs, but also other types as well. In America there really isn't any nature conservation act. As long as you have the money then you can buy (adopt) what you want. The most famous of which is Mike Tyson's tigers. As long as what you raise doesn't hurt people then go ahead, this is also why there are all kinds of pets in America.
Not only is there is normal cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters. The unconventional spiders, lizards, snakes, turtles, martens, rabbits and so on. There are also some real predators. Such as the golden eagle that is staring directly at him as soon as he entered the shelter. Behind it is even more hawks, eagles, falcons and other small sized predators.
Apart from these predators, there is also a bunch of snakes in the opposite room. Species such as the golden python and the likes are pretty common. There is also some rare poisonous snakes, like the black mamba, king cobra and so on, here as well. Due to them entering, these beasts all raised their heads and hissed at him from their cages.
"You guys really have quite a selection here." Jiang Hai exclaimed excitingly. He doesn't have many hobbies, but the raising pets is definitely one of them. Especially when it comes to raising predators, no men will say no to them. Sadly the chinese government restricts you from raising them, but now that he is in America, he really wants to try it. Seeing all these animals, he is already making plans for them.
"Yup, you just came to America didn't you? We have pets of all kinds here. The ones here are just the small ones. All the big ones are in the back." The girl said nonchalantly.
Because the American government allows unrestrained raising of pets, there are all kinds of pets in America. But there are always some morons out there who will do everything half heartedly. When they start to raise their pets, they will say they will raise them properly and so and so. But not long after, they will get annoyed with all the this.
Under normal conditions there are two ways to solve this. One is to kill it. This tends to bring in some compensation in China since you can just sell them to stores that specialize in these things, but is very rare in America. The second option would be to just throw them away, which is the option most Americans take. But there is also some policies in place such that these thrown away pets don't end up as stray animals who will cause some pandemic or something.
After passing the migrant birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, cat, small and medium sized dogs, they finally arrived at the back of the shelter. Here is where all the big animals are sheltered, but the first thing that appeared in front of Jiang Hai is a freaking bear.
*roar* Sensing the arrival of outsiders, this beast who was originally lying down inside of it's cage suddenly stood up and roared. Seeing this more than 2 meter tall intimidating beast, even Robins began to back away. Yet due to the tattoo on him, Jiang Hai treated these animal's intimidation as nothing. Instead, it led Jiang Hai to examine this bear even more closely. Only to find it missing an eye and bear multiple scars.
"Paul, down! He is a tragic grizzly from Colorado. He was raised up by people since he was a cub. Sadly his previous owner is really a good-for-nothing. The missing eye and all those scars are all caused by them. When we found him, he was on the verge of death, but he at least is alive now. However apart from us, he has a grudge against all other humans." noticing Jiang Hai's interest, the girl explained as she hit the cage. Sure enough, the bear listened to her and lied down again, resuming its previous calmness.
Hearing her explanation, Jiang Hai nodded, but didn't say anything and continued forward. He discovered that this area for large beasts is more like a small zoo than anything else. Apart from the grizzly at the front door, there are also leopards, jaguars, black bears, river boas, and even crocodiles. According to the girl, most of the animals here are not from the Boston area. Rather they mostly came from New York ().
He can't help but acknowledge the fact that rich people are sometimes really abnormal. But honestly, Jiang Hai can also be considered a rich person. Thus, when he saw these animals, he also had thoughts of wanting to raise some. Thinking up to here, Jiang Hai shook his head and put this matter behind him, since this is not the main reason why he is here.
After following the girl to the very back of the shelter, they arrived at the section where all the big hounds are kept. The reason why these dogs are placed behind those predators is because of their sheer volume. As soon as Jiang Hai entered, all those hounds stood up in their cages and stared unwaveringly at the group. From the looks of things, these dogs aren't as friendly as you might think.
When the girl entered a particular room, she said "All the dogs here were all cattle dogs or sheep dogs previously. They were all sent here because either their owner died or because they couldn't be supported anymore. Therefore they don't have grudges against humans. They are pretty easy to handle and all had some training before. You guys can take a look and once you have finished selecting, we can begin the adoption process."

Blue sky, white clouds, lazily lying on the beach, while feeling the gentle breeze coming from the sea. Hounds at the side with marine animals chasing each other around. Cups of unrivaled wine from his personal winery with cuts of prime A grade steaks readily around. For others, life is all about pursuing money, power, and fame, but for Jiang Hai, this type of lifestyle is what he constantly dreamed of.

Marius finally made it to the Village Leaders Hall. Luckily there was no one around to collect or complete any quests allowing Marius walked straight up to the Village Leader.
"Young Adventurer, welcome back. I see you have gained quite a few achievements since I last saw you." The Village Leader welcomed Marius as a notification popped up.

(Player Midnight Solitude has completed the hidden quest "For the People".)
(Reward. Player Midnight Solitude as attained the Title "Friend of the People" NPC will provide you with better quests and rewards)
(Player Midnight Solitude has achieved the requirements to enter City of their choosing.)

Marius smiled. So those quests were for something.
"Thank you, Village Leader," Marius said politely.
The Village Leader smiled. "You have gained the recognition of the whole village. I simply wish that I could reward you for all your efforts. Please, choose whichever City you wish to enter and I will provide you a letter of recommendation."
Marius watched as the three options popped up.

Iron Mountain City.
Blackwood City.
Fire Mountain City.
Frost Gate City.
Great Falls City.

Marius had done his research on these Cities. 
Great Falls City was home to the Valkyrie Overlords. They were the most powerful of the 5 City Lords and their maps were expected to have the most difficult though rewarding grinding areas. In addition, their quests were expected to have excellent benefits to players... if they could complete them.
Frost Gate City was home to the Ice Giants. They were second to the Valkyries in terms of power but exceeded them in rare materials. Their Maps were as bountiful as Great Falls City but perhaps more dangerous. In some ways, it was a paradise for crafters that needed rare materials.
Fire Mountain City was home to the Dragon Lords. Their maps were in the middle tier in terms of dangers and rewards. However, where they shone was supposedly in their advanced magic and powerful class advancements.
Blackwood Forest was home to the Light Elves. This was the more chaotic of the Cities as the Light Elves were constantly at war with their underworld brothers, the Dark Elves. This made their quests the most bountiful, but also the most dangerous to complete.
Iron Mountain City was home to the Dwarves. In terms of power they were eclipsed by the other 4 City Lords, but their weapon and equipment forging was leagues ahead of the other. Their maps were average in terms of difficulty but were rich in forging materials making it one of the more theoretically preferred starting points.
The Cities worked in such a way that players were able to cross their boundaries and earn reputation in each of them. The player would start with 0 Reputation but had free reign to go where they pleased. But if their reputation hit the negatives then they would be hunted by the residents of the city.
According to the forums, it was possible to regain Reputation but alternatively, you could yield more gains from the maps if you had negative Reputation.
Of course, Marius knew which he was going to choose. 
Though the other maps offered better methods for getting stronger faster, Marius chooses the Iron Mountain Village.

(Player Midnight Solitude had obtained 'Letter of Recommendation for the Iron Mountain City.')

"Young Adventurer. We bid you safe travels and hope to hear tales of your exploits."

Before Marius could say another word he was saturated in a bright light.

(Welcome to Iron Mountain City.)

When the light faded Marius found himself looking out over a wide Mountain range. The breath caught in his lungs as he stared, the wild and untamed mountains seemed to bellow at him as they stood, sheer black ravines, white-capped and unmoveable beneath the deep blue sky.
A tremor of awe washed over him as he was immersed in the fantastic grandeur.

(Player Midnight Solitude had unlocked Iron Mountain City.)
(Reward: +5 Luck) 
(Player Midnight Solitude had unlocked the Leaderboard.)
(Reward: +5 Luck) 
(Player Midnight Solitude had achieved First Place on the Leaderboard.)
(Reward: +5 Luck) 

The notifications dragged Marius back.
1:05:04
Marius still had an hour to play. Without wasting any more time he ran into the City.
It was a monstrously large place, carved directly into the Mountain. The buildings were made out of pure stone, the walkways chiseled beautifully, in perfect harmony with the Mountains steady rise.
As he ran, Marius noted the two kinds of NPC. The tall and elegant human NPC and the shorter and stouter dwarf NPC.
Smiling, he took note of where the Shops, Refinery and Smithy were. Those places he would be sure to check out when he had a moment. But first things First. Talk to the City Lord.
After an exhaustive run, Marius finally made it to the City Lords Hall. Without ceremony, he entered and saw the City Lord, an ancient Dwarf sitting upon a throne of black iron.
"City Lord." Marius greeted the Dwarf. "I am Midnight Solitude, from Green Horn Village. I have come to greet you and offer you this Letter of Recommendation"
Marius offered the Letter to the City Lord as he looked around the Hall. Around the Walls were NPC Guards, Dwarves in black and grey armor that seemed to suck in the light instead of reflecting it.
Marius turned his attention back to the City Lord. Like his subjects, he wore black and grey armor that almost seemed to be sculptured to his muscular body. His large face was elegant with long black hair tied in a warriors tail at the back. 
His name was Oudurin and according to the forums, he was a Level 100 Demon King Rank NPC and he was one of the twelve most powerful NPC's in the game.
"I see that the Leader of Green Horn Village has a high opinion of you," Oudurin said. "Do you truly wish to make Iron Mountain City your home? If you change your mind later you will lose all your Reputation and be unable to rejoin for a week."
"I have no reservations about my decision Lord Oudurin," Marius replied.

(Player Midnight Solitude has become a citizen of Iron Mountain City)
(Player Midnight Solitude has obtained Teleportation Ring. You will be able to teleport to any City which you have visited.)
(Player Midnight Solitude has been blessed with 'Dwarven Dedication'. Any occupation you choose will generate 5% more experience.)

Marius was surprised by these rewards. He hadn't thought that the City would bestow a passive buff that would make his occupation more efficient to train. Even the Teleportation Ring would make his life much easier. The iron band on his arm even looked quite cool
"Young Adventurer. I welcome you to Iron Mountain City. This is your home now. Respect it and protect it with your life."
Marius bowed to the City Lord.
"Lord Oudurin, is there anything that I can help you with?"
After 20 minutes of asking, Marius finally attained the final quest. Any more and he would need to be Level 20 which suited him fine. Most of them were introductory quests to get used to the City

(Speak with Katarin)
(Help Master Durorin (Smith))
(Find an Occupation Tutor and complete their quest)
(Hunt down the Spider Monkey King)
(Hunt down 100 Gollums in the Mines)
(Kill The Gollum King)

A good dozen of the quests Marius saw were side quests. He decided to complete them after he'd finished the more important storyline quests.
Bidding the Dwarf Lord goodbye, Marius went looking for Katarin, the Night Stalker Tutor.
It took him a while, though after asking a few NPC's Maius found Katarin outside a mine entrance.
'Master Katarin," Marius greeted her. "They City Lord bid I speak with you."
Katarin was a human NPC with a tall willowy frame. Her hair was black and tied in a warriors tail at the back and her eyes were an ice-cold blue. She was clad in black and grey leathers, a single short sword hung at her hip.
"Hello Young Adventurer," Katarin replied. "You must be here to learn the true secrets of being a Night Stalker. I commend you for choosing this path."
Marius nodded. "I will not disappoint you."
"We shall see," Katarin replied. "Very well, I shall test you with these skills. If you can become adept with them I shall reward you accordingly."

Skills: Moon Dance Level 1 (0/2000 proficiency) (Increases Dexterity for 20 seconds, leaving behind shadow stream.Costs 5 Mana. Cooldown 1 minute)

Burning Haze Level 1 (0/2000 proficiency) (Binds a target in a haze that deals fire damage. Reduces targets defense by 5% for 10 seconds. Costs 20 Mana. Cooldown 10 seconds)

Aura Blade Level 1 (0/3000 proficiency) (Creates an aura around your weapon, increasing the range of attack by 10%. Cost 40 Mana. Cooldown 5 seconds)

Marius was impressed by these skills, especially by Aura Blade. 
It may have a high cost but its short cooldown was amazing. Not to mention the range increase. 
His sword currently had a range of 1.5. A 10% increase would make 1.65. It may not seem a lot but the slightest increase in reach would be a sort after attribute. 
It was an excellent benefit when combined with his Basic Slash which had leveled up to Level 3, he now enjoyed increased damage and range. 
Two things that every close combat class would desire.
Add Moon Dance that increased survivability and Burning Haze which was an adaptable ranged combat skill, Marius had nothing to complain about. 
"Master Katarin, I thank you for these skills." Marius thanked the NPC.
"You are welcome. Just make sure you do not shame me, or our class."
Nodding, Marius left.
The next stop was to get an occupation.
Rajan had said that Beast Tamer was the hardest, yet most rewarding of the occupations. Marius had to agree with the theory.
The appeal to a Beast Tamer was that it could upgrade to a Beast Master. A Tamer could, of course, tame Monsters and make them Pets. 
However, it was revealed that at level 30 the Pet Function would be unleashed so everyone would essentially a Beast Tamer to a lesser degree. Though, a Beast Tamer could store 10 monsters while an ordinary player could only store 1.
 Which is where the Beast Master promotion came into play.
Because Beast Tamer's could store more monsters as Pets, their ability to farm and sell them far exceeded what other players could do. In addition, Beast Masters would be able to utilize the increased storage function to refine monsters in their possession.
Just like NPC's and wild Monsters, Pets would follow the Ranking system. By absorbing the monster essence of other monsters, a Beast Master was meant to be able to make pets a higher rank. This coincides with the grade of Monsters found in various maps. Each grade reflected their level, with the two lower level Monsters being Grey Rank while the higher level would be Black Rank.
For example, if the monsters in the Beginner Village reflected this set-up, then Grey Wolves and Elemental Squirrels would be Grey rank while the Large Boar would be Black Rank.
However, that system wouldn't come into play until the player's made it to a City.

0:35:56

Marius saw the Timer and decided to get moving. Finding the Beast Master could take a while so he decided to start talking with every NPC he could find. He kept his inquiries short and simple, asking for locations of his minor quests and where he could find certain NPC's.
By the time his Timer had run out, Marius had collected a substantial amount of information pertaining to his quests and knew exactly where he would begin his next session. Including the Beast Masters name and where to find him.

Logging out, Marius reached over, picking up his phone.
"Marius?" Rajan's voice on the other end asked.
"I've reached level 10," Marius said simply.
"I know.  One of my Moderators told me that someone had made it to the Iron Mountain City. Congratulations."
"Rajan. Who designed that landscape?" Marius asked.
Rajan was silent for a moment. "I did."
"Thank you," Marius said softly, hanging up the phone.
Lying in bed, Marius felt a tear slip down the side of his face. 
Sixty years ago, a  young couple, recently married and adventurous had traveled to the French Alps. There, they had spent a month. Spending their days climbing and exploring those mountains, discovering secrets and launching furious snowball fights. At night, they made love to each other under their canvas shelters as the wild winds bellowed around them.
That month had been the second happiest time of his life.
The first was when his firstborn child came into the world nine months later.
That night Marius revisited the Mountains, his beautiful wife by his side. Blonde hair, dark eyes and a laugh that could charm a snow storm. A baby girl in her arms.

An old man with nothing left to achieve.
A new world ready to be explored.
