"Thank you very much for your cooperation, little one. Although I'm not interested in weapon rooms and such, I'm quite happy to learn about a place where we can explore."
"Come out with a bowl tonight, a big one, and I'll help you fill it up."
Upon learning that there are some hidden facilities on the top floors of the teaching and experiment buildings, Ansheng's eyes lit up. He raised his paw to shake the panda cub's paw.
Whether there's a weapon room or not, Ansheng wasn't too concerned.
He just had the vague feeling that Xinxing Agricultural Science College somehow exuded the fragrance of 'Wish Power.'
It seems.
Wang Qiqi, that guy, did conceal some things about the experiment building and teaching building while acting as a guide.
Otherwise, what ordinary laboratory can apply for the power to call in hot weapons at any time?
"I need to find some time to visit the Xinxing Agricultural Science College laboratories to see if there are any unruly kids I can persuade to be kind."
In the few days before Ah Qing came to Chang'an, Ansheng was actually working very hard, hanging onto Wang Qiqi's leg, asking her if there were any savage and completely disobedient beasts around, preferably ferocious ones.
But Ansheng was told there were none.
Within two hundred miles, aside from Qinling, there were no brutal Spirit Beasts in any city area.
There might have been noisy ones in the past, but thanks to the efforts of the Woodcutters, the entire Chang'an City is as peaceful as can be.
The shrew intelligence system ensures that, at the first moment any Spirit Beasts enter the city, the information gets passed to the Woodcutters' ears, who first treat them to a good beating.
Ansheng felt very helpless, but the reality was just as Wang Qiqi said.
The pest control in Chang'an City was so well done that it felt surreal to Ansheng.
Except for the vast forest areas of Qinling, the defenses against Spirit Beasts in other areas were impeccable.
But Ansheng always felt Wang Qiqi was pulling his leg.
...…
"Ying ying~"
Having struck gold, Tang You seemed like she was on a wind-up spring, in a state of excitement, dancing a strange dance around Master Fox that looked like a blessing ritual or maybe even a wrestling move.
However.
After Tang You decided to press her luck again, five minutes passed, and she immediately wasn't in the mood to talk anymore.
With a solemn face, she turned off the computer, pretending the five-minute lucky streak never happened.
"A blackout?"
Mo Yiqing, who had just put something in the closet, looked at Tang You with a strange expression.
"I suddenly remembered a famous dish from your area." Tang You didn't answer Mo Yiqing directly, but instead, spoke with emotion, "Live slicing a fish is sashimi, and life following the luck conservation law isn't much different."
"A blackout is a blackout, why such a poetic way of putting it? Anyone would think you're going out to flirt," Mo Yiqing rolled her eyes, "Pack up, it's mealtime!"
"Qinling campus is outrageous, being established in a panda reserve. Apart from our school, there are no human settlements within five kilometers in any direction, making it unlikely to order takeout casually in the future."
"You can order takeout, just that you'll need to pay an additional delivery fee of about fifteen yuan," Tang You, who had already arrived at the campus in the morning, had some understanding of the local consumption.
"I'll throw a dime at him!" Mo Yiqing was quick to refuse upon hearing the delivery charge of fifteen yuan.
"Xiaolan, come take a look, there are many of your friends here!"
Ah Qing, who had just finished organizing the closet, lay on the chair resting, browsing local food videos.
They decided to return to school early not just to avoid the peak of the reopening season, but more importantly, because of the special nature of Xinxing Agricultural Science College; the cities where classes are held differ for each grade, so they returned early.
Besides avoiding the peak of the academic season, they could also avoid the tourist rush, and have a good time locally.
While Ah Qing was surfing local videos, possibly due to big data algorithms, she came across a fox-related video, waving excitedly to signal the little fox to come over and watch with her.
Meanwhile, Ansheng was slumped in Lingren's arms, accompanying Lingren in watching phone videos.
All of Lingren's music app videos were related to beautiful big sisters.
Just nice, Master Fox liked watching these too.
"What's there to watch?"
Hearing Ah Qing call him, Ansheng jumped from Lingren's arms to the ground, startling the panda cub taking a nap under the air conditioning.
Ansheng wandered into Ah Qing's embrace, naturally circling her legs with his large tail, and perched on her lap to watch the video.
"....In Chang'an, apart from the famous terracotta warriors and the nightlife, there's also a deep historical culture, and our country's fondness for foxes can be traced back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, with the famous Double Fox Jade Plate antiquity unearthed too."
"Here, I would like to introduce to everyone the Fox Kingdom, which has been in operation for nearly thirty years. Here, you can see all sorts of adorable foxes....."
"For those interested, feel free to click the little yellow cart in the bottom right corner to check it out."
The host in the short video, cradling a Tibetan fox, faced the camera selling Fox Kingdom tickets.
Besides the Tibetan fox, another fox with bat-like large ears appeared on the screen. The bat-eared fox had black fur all over, with only a circle of brown hair on its chest. It peeked curiously at the camera, licking it with its tongue.
"???"
Looking at the sales video, Ansheng turned to Ah Qing and said:
"Ah Qing, should we sue them? The cute act of a fox licking the camera is clearly Ansheng's original creation!"
Ansheng's whimpers translated by Ah Qing:
'Wow wow wow! Master, master, the fox in the video is copying Ansheng. Let's roast it and eat it!'
"Ah Qing, what did the little fox say?" Mo Yiqing, who was chatting about food with Tang You nearby, instinctively asked Ah Qing hearing the little fox's sharp whine.
The little fox loved to talk, and after Ah Qing translated, Xiaolan's words always seemed particularly lively, which Mo Yiqing liked.
Every time the little fox spoke, she was curious.
"Huh? Xiaolan didn't say much, he just challenged the bat-eared fox in the video to a duel..."
Ah Qing looked at everyone and said, "It seems like the mattresses and things we mailed last semester are locked in the school's post station for now and can't be retrieved..."
"Check this out, four hundred for two days and one night Fox Kingdom tour, includes breakfast and self-service meal." Ah Qing showed the phone to everyone, her eyes gleaming as she said:
"Why don't we go there for fun? After the tour, we can still go to the nightlife area and wear Hanfu."
"Wearing Hanfu...."
Lingren's eyes sparkled, immediately raising a hand and saying, "Lingling totally agrees with Ah Qing's proposal, Hanfu is awesome!"
Tang You looked disdainfully at the words, showing little interest in leaving the air-conditioned dorm room.
Seeing Tang You's reluctance, Mo Yiqing approached her with a sly grin, whispering:
"Ah Qing's little fox is quite lucky~ Don't you want to experience the thrill of scoring gold again, that joy of golden light flashing on the screen, that satisfaction of screenshotting and showing off in the group?"
"The little fox holds grudges, if you want Xiaolan to help you draw cards...."
Tang You's expression froze at these words, lightly biting her lip, she declared resolutely:
"Let's go! Now, immediately, right away call a cab!"
Mo Yiqing shrugged, having vast experience in persuading Tang You to join dorm activities.
In the past, it was mystic arts.
Talked about how auspicious the destination's feng shui was, what orientation and time would increase luck in drawings.
Tang You always verbally resisted but physically complied.
But with changing times, Mo Yiqing no longer needed to consult the almanac or I Ching to persuade Tang You, merely waving Xiaolan would subdue her, forcing her to bashfully admit she enjoyed the fox's luck.
