Pet King

Chapter 1416: Bug

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After eating two or three times the usual amount of breakfast, Zhang Zian grimaced at his staff and touched his belly. He was finally full. He estimated that his mobile phone was almost fully charged and walked back to the second floor, his stomach as big as a pregnant woman.

Shihua heard the sound of his footsteps and began asking him to change the water in the bathtub immediately. In the summer, if the water hasn’t been changed for a few days, green algae would have grown in it.

π was busy typing away, so he didn’t have to take care of it.

The bedroom window was open, and Vladimir wasn’t in the room. He most likely ran outside to inspect the surroundings.

Only then did Zhang Zian remember that Richard was still in the trash. He put on his gloves, opened the lid, and carried the bird by its claws into the bathroom. He put it under the showerhead, started rinsing off the bird droppings, and hung it on the windowsill to bask in the sun.

After doing this, he had time to sit down and check his cell phone. He figured that many people would’ve sent him a message asking him what he was doing. The question was how did the elves answer them for him. He had a bad feeling about this.

However, after booting up, the first thing to pop up on his screen was the “Pet Hunter” game.

“Congratulations! You have increased your lucky cat’s favorability factor towards you to trust level. You have gained the ability to move freely!”

“Congratulations! You have increased your Apprehensive Bird’s favorability factor towards you to trust level. You have gained the ability to move freely!”

“Congratulations! You have increased your Mermaid’s favorability factor towards you to trust level. You have gained the ability to move freely!”

Several notifications appeared across the screen, then disappeared.

Zhang Zian’s heart rate increased upon seeing these. He didn’t expect that going into the dream world would’ve been so worth it! Although he almost starved to death upon leaving the dream, it turned out that the favorability of the three elves towards him had greatly improved. This must’ve been the so-called “no risk no reward”...

At this point, the favorability of all the elves except for Snowy Lionet had been raised to the highest trust level. He felt that he has completed an extraordinary job ...

As for Snowy Lionet, there was no chance for him to reach that level unless he cut his testicles off and gives them to her.

He even had a higher favorability factor for the idiotic Richard. Was it because rejecting Zhuang Xiaodie led him to develop some big misunderstanding?

Shihua’s favorability improvement was rather unexpected... wasn’t she the dummy girl in the dream? Being willing to venture into the dream together with everyone was already rather unexpected. It was even more so that she played such a pitiful role in the dream. Apparently, all those Korean dramas she watched did not go to waste.

The most unsettling thing was that even Xinghai ‘s favorability improved. Hot tears almost welled up in his eyes. Before the end of the dream, it seemed that the black and white kitten swept the back of his hand with its tail. That wasn’t an illusion, right?

However, this dream journey taught him to not underestimate the unknown elves. If the game said that the catch danger was extremely high, it was best to listen and obey if he wanted to protect his life.

Zhuang Xiaodie was like a beautiful but poisonous butterfly. Fortunately, there was no need to have anything more to do with her... right?

Thinking of this, he turned back so abruptly that he almost twisted his neck with too much force. However, there was nothing behind his head. The so-called butterfly that disappeared upon closer inspection was not there.

Phew... Surely he must’ve been overthinking it, believing it was a butterfly in a quantum state or something...

He laughed to himself at his ability to conjure up absurd stories. He turned his head back and saw Famous at the entrance of the stairs, looking at him with a weird expression

He noticed his expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you eat too much? Would you like some digestive chips?”

Famous blinked, “I think I saw a butterfly fly past when I got up here. But looking again, it’s no longer around...”

“What? When?” Zhang Zian was startled.

“When you looked back,” Famous said.

A chill traveled down Zhang Zian’s spine. “...Forget it, don’t talk about this. Weren’t you sleeping just now?”

Famous looked down in despair and told him what he had just experienced in its Imagined World.

After listening, Zhang Zian jumped directly off his chair and said, “... Are you serious? Zhuang Xiaodie appeared in your Imagined World? She also learned the ability of the other elves?”

“It seems that way. She said that in the future, you would ask for her help. Then, she will take advantage of that opportunity to wash away her humiliation.” Famous stared at him relentlessly. “How about you find a way to enter my Imagined world and apologize to her? ”

“No way!” Zhang Zian dismissed this thought without hesitation. “If she wants to play around in the Imagined world, then leave her be.”

Famous complained, “You can take it lightly, but wouldn’t I have nightmares every night? Maybe one day she’ll get tired of my Imagined World and run into your dreams instead ...”

That was a problem. However, Zhuang Xiaodie would’ve been invincible to anyone in the dream world after gathering the abilities of so many elves. Zhang Zian knew that it would’ve been impossible to use force to subdue her. Even if he went in, he would only be played by her.

While she didn’t have much ability in the real world, she was rather erratic and unpredictable.

“What’s all this talk about me asking for her help in the future ... How could I ask her? No matter how powerful she is in her dream, I can’t ask her to introduce me to a girlfriend, right?” he said in disapproval.

When he turned, he saw Xinghai running upstairs and casually asked, “Xinghai, what do you think?”

“Meow...”

Xinghai stared at him with a tilted head, neither approving or disapproving.

Huh?

Xinghai’s ambiguity... Would I need to ask her something? What would I beg her to do? To create a dream world without the game and elves? Am I going to have to stoop that low?

...

Night had fallen.

Before going to bed, the elves tossed and turned around for a long time. It was like a fun carnival as if they were trying to make up for the lost fun over the last few days.

Zhang Zian thought he would lose sleep or have nightmares if he slept too much.

The same was true for Famous. When the other elves were asleep, they were still lying down with their eyes wide open.

By the middle of the night, they could not take it any longer and they both fell asleep without even having a dream.

Everything was quiet during the night.

The screen on Zhang Zian’s phone under the pillow suddenly turned on with various notifications popping up:

“Error!”

“The favorability of the elf has been found to have increased abnormally in a short time. The reason is unknown, but it was likely caused by a bug.”

“The favorability levels for some of the elves exceeds the game’s design threshold and will soon reach or exceed the original owner’s favorability. This may cause the risk of memory leaks.”

“Online repair program is starting...”

“The first online repair... failed!”

“The second online repair... failed!”

“The third online repair ... failed!”

“Cannot be repaired online, waiting for further processing...”

The phone screen went out.

Everything fell silent.
