Hopefully so, let's go."

The national master was not very interested in these time travelers who were in a down-and-out manner, but he lifted his nose and shook for a moment, stretched out his claws, and pointed to a relatively messy street in front of him, "Where is there, I smelled a trace of unusual breath."

Chu Ge took a look and felt a little embarrassed immediately.

He is a native of Lingshan, so he naturally knows where the national teacher is referring to. He can't help but mutter in his heart how the visiting route arranged by Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting was designed? Why didn't he take the national teacher to the Xiuxian Science and Technology Industrial Park or Incubation Base from the beginning and insist on wandering around the old city?

However, since the national teacher asked, Chu Ge could not help but answer. Anyway, with the intelligence and talent of the national teacher, even if he didn't say it, it could be guessed very quickly.

"That is the oldest flower and bird market and pet market in Lingshan City. You know, it is... a place where flowers, plants, kittens and puppies are sold."

Chu Ge said, "Since the revival of spiritual energy, many artificially domesticated small animals are probably closer to humans. While absorbing the sun's essence and the moon's beauty, they have also been infected with human wisdom and have undergone a certain degree of mutation.

"The small animals with obvious mutations were sent to the zoo, the Special Supervision Bureau and the Rare Animal Protection Institute through the extraordinary association, but it is obvious that we cannot arrest all the pets on the market - neither do this manpower and material resources nor create a tense atmosphere artificially.

"These kittens and puppies who look a little smarter than before, or parrots with more verbal words, are left to them.

"So, the pet market during this period is more lively than in the past. Many people spared no expense to buy a pet surrounded by spiritual energy and went back. Of course, these pets cannot be as smart as you in the national teacher, but they are also spiritual, understanding, and able to obey the owner's orders. They are much better than traditional pets.

"Why, do you want to go over and take a look?"

The national master pondered for a moment and nodded.

Chu Ge contacted President Yu and Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting through the walkie-talkie embedded in his ears. With their consent, he took the national teacher to the pet market.

Chu Ge is right, the pet market during this period is indeed much more lively than in the past.

Because pets are becoming smarter and more intelligent, the difficulty of raising them has been reduced a lot, but the fun has increased greatly. Even people who didn't like kittens and puppies couldn't help but want to raise one or two of them to play with.

As a result, a special way to get rich is to buy a seemingly ordinary pet, after training, it can be humanized, and even awaken some superpowers, then resell it, or send it to the extraordinary association to redeem the bonus.

Although not many people have successfully trained ordinary pets to be "spiritual pets", they sounded fun and feasible, which attracted a large number of citizens who were full of daydreaming to come here to try their luck.

Chu Ge and the little palace master hugged the national teacher and walked through pet stores one by one.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of spiritual energy that really improved the average IQ of pets. The pet market, which was supposed to be yelling and barking, has been particularly quiet these days. Most pets are lying in the cage obediently and gentlely, with only a pair of watery big eyes, looking at the iron cage and the window with thoughts and emotions, without making any sound.

The national teacher narrowed his eyes, tore his eyes apart, and looked at the pets.

But no matter how many ripples appear in these pets' eyes, their expressions have not changed at all. Until they pass through the entire pet market, they still don't say a word.

Chu Ge couldn't help but calm down and said, "What do you think when you see these scenes just now?"

The national teacher smiled slightly and asked back, "What, what should I think?"

"I don't know, anyway, if I were you, it would be hard not to have the idea of ​​'destroying the pet market and relieving all enslaved compatriots'."

Chu Ge thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I support the communication and cooperation between humans and non-human intelligent life, but even so, I cannot help but worry about the eight-word magic of "non-my race, their hearts will be different", especially after you see such a cruel scene.

"If you feel indignant, grit your teeth, and wish you could tear open all the iron cages and release your compatriots now, maybe I feel better.

"But you are so calm, like a bottomless sea, it's hard to understand your thoughts, which makes me creepy."

"It sounds really refreshing to tear open the iron cage, release all the 'compatriots', and declare war on all evil humans who enslaved them."

The national teacher asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Then..." Chu Ge was speechless for a moment.

"Then, there's nothing."

The national teacher smiled faintly and said, "What you said just now has a few problems. First, in my eyes, compared with the various inhuman experiments of the Tianren Organization, the treatment of pets in this pet market is far from being "cruel", and it is simply a kind of enjoyment.

"Second, I have said a long time ago that these confused beasts and those of us who have opened up their intelligence are not 'compatriots' at all, just like humans and shaved gorillas, they are by no means 'compatriots'.

"In fact, the word 'competent' is more of a concept in cultural meaning than a blood or genetic sense. Just two hundred years ago, humans of different skin colors did not regard each other as compatriots. Those humans with lighter skin colors, even sincerely believe that humans with darker skin colors are inferior animals, and they are some kind of deformity... Orangutans are existences that can kill but not bear any sins.

"The same is true for my attitude towards these pets. Do you want me to inspire the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox to them? Not only is it difficult, it is simply an insult to me.

"Third, the same thing is true. Even if some of these pets break through the limits of evolution and transform into new species, they can be called my "compatriots", and it is a very irrational behavior to fight head-on with humans.

"Humans have occupied the top of the earth's ecological niche, and have used your game rules to implement a comprehensive transformation of this planet, and even defined the "civilization" itself. It is impossible for any later player to do so, and there is no need to completely overturn all this.

"I think that for us non-human intelligent lives, integrating into the human world as a ‘pet’ is the best, or even the only choice, just like the cartoon "Pokemon" I just watched in the ward.

"Originally, this was just a little, beautiful, unrealistic wish of mine.

"However, seeing that humans are so passionate about the 'spiritual pet', my confidence has increased a little. Perhaps it won't take long to see my beloved rat civilization appear in full bloom under the blue sky and white clouds, and even penetrate into the warm embrace of human beings and become a member of the human family."

The national master said, arching comfortably in the arms of the little palace master.

The little palace master patted its head and said, "It's a pity that the mouse tribe is not the same as the kitten and the dog. Few people can accept a little mouse as a pet."

"Who said, aren't it cute, chubby hamsters, crystal-like white mice, and squirrels with fluffy golden tails?"

The national teacher smiled and said, "The original wild cats and wild dogs were also quite fierce and ferocious. Many cats in ancient times were even known as "human killers". Their sharp fangs as daggers can easily penetrate the fragile skulls of primitive humans and feast on your heads as cans. Now all kinds of clumsy, cute and beautiful qualities are nothing more than the result of evolution.

"There are also wild boars, not to mention, with their fierce character, powerful impact, thick and thick 'armor', and thick and sharp fangs, even in today's mountains and forests, they are still existences that even tigers dare not provoke. But look at what domestic pigs have become.

"The rat race can also evolve, and I believe that in the stimulation of spiritual energy, the rat race will only be faster to update and iterate. It won't take long to evolve various round, furry, cute or crystal clear skin according to human needs, and master all kinds of cute tips.
