It seems that since he realized his identity as a foreigner, the negative impact of his panic and stunned state on himself has become less and less.
It has not completely improved. Every time I start to get nervous, the symptoms of prolonged and explosive thinking will still appear, with no signs of abating.
However, now I have become more and more accustomed to controlling my concentration and thinking in this state, and have gradually adapted to coexisting with this weird world in this strange state.
In this way, the pressure gradually decreases.
Just kidding, in a world full of monsters, why is it necessary to tighten yourself up so much?
I got up early the next day and prepared to go to work at the dock. When I went out with the pancakes bought by my mother in my mouth, I turned around and saw three cute dogs from my neighbor's house lying on the fence wagging their tails towards me.
His heart moved slightly, and when he saw that no one was watching, he took out the sausage from the pancake and came to the fence.
When the three cute dogs saw him coming, they were immediately excited, swishing their tails, and then looking at the intestines in his hand, they started drooling again.
It was a strange feeling. As soon as Xiao Xiao saw these three dogs, he felt very close to them.
I don’t know if it’s because they already belong to him in the deep logic of this city, or if it’s because they helped him in the previous cleanup of experimental subjects. Anyway, Xiao Xiao felt special when he saw them.
Dear, it is completely different from the impression of unreasonable fear that I feel every time I see them in my memory. It is as if, in a certain sense, they are the closest existence to me now.
And this kind of closeness, under the influence of some mysterious power, even made Xiao Xiao feel that they all listened to him.
No, it’s not just obedience, it’s a level higher than obedience.
Should I say... understand the spirit?
A piece of intestine was thrown into the fence, and Xiao Xiao ordered them in a low voice: "Don't grab it, eat it among them."
The three dogs, which had already jumped half a meter high, immediately became obedient, and each of them took a bite in a polite manner. The black and white dog seemed a little reluctant, but when the black dog whined, he immediately became obedient.
"It's amazing..."
The more Xiao Xiao watched, the more fun he got, so he lay down at the end of the fence and kept giving instructions: "You, bite its tail..."
The yellow dog swooped over and bit the black and white tail, and the latter screamed as if it was strong.
"Sing a song..."
The other two dogs were at a loss for this command, but the black and white dog immediately raised its head and began to shout high notes with an expression that even seemed to be enjoying it.
Xiao Xiao felt unexpectedly happy and commanded them again: "Go, ride it!"
This time the order was not carried out. The expressions of the three dogs became unified, and they looked at the excited Xiao Xiao with their three tangled and resentful dog faces.
They are all male, brother, how do you ride?
"It seems that they are not obedient machines. Even as a dog, they have their own character and temper..."
Xiao Xiao thought silently in his heart.
That one with a big head, thick neck, black mouth and yellow face was tall and mighty, and his fighting style was brutal and brave. Once summoned, he went on the attack without saying a word.
And the long-haired big yellow dog is loyal and shrewd, and is obviously the military strategist among the three dogs.
As for the black and white one...
...Well, pure is two.
So, is it imperative to strengthen them?
By the way, when strengthening, can we remove the black and white ones?
"hello……"
While Xiao Xiao was standing on the fence, looking thoughtfully at the three dogs having fun, he suddenly heard a timid girl's voice coming from the neighbor's yard.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a girl in a white skirt walking out holding half a bag of dog food.
Girls are only sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the time when youth is invincible.
Just wearing a simple white skirt, a baseball cap, and a pair of white sneakers under her slender ankles, she naturally looks innocent and good-looking.
Bathed in the morning sunshine, her skin was as white and soft as a shelled egg. Her expression looked slightly startled when she saw the three dogs getting close to Xiao Xiao.
These three guys are usually not so close to me...
"……Hello."
Xiao Xiao reacted and greeted the girl with a smile. She was the full-time breeder of his three dogs.
The girl's name is Nono, she is a girl seven or eight years younger than herself. The two of them have known each other since childhood. In my memory, she always wears a white skirt as she does now.
She has a very soft temperament and always seems to be timid when speaking. It is hard to imagine why she would raise three such ferocious big dogs.
"They're cute..."
The current situation is a bit confusing. From the perspective of the city's will, these three dogs have been bought by itself, but in a practical sense, they are actually owned by a little girl.
Xiao Xiao felt embarrassed that his affair was discovered, so he had to explain it with a smile.
"Yes..."
Nuonuo came over with dog food, poured half a bag into the basin, and said: "When I bought it, I thought they were fierce, but they turned out to be just silly."
The three cute dogs looked back at the dog food and then at Xiao Xiao.
In the end, no one moved, they just continued to turn around and wag their tails desperately towards Xiao Xiao.
The girl was stunned for a moment. She felt abandoned while guarding the dog food basin. Not only were these three fools not ferocious at all, but now they didn't even recognize their masters?
"Keeping a dog is inherently silly and seems fun."
Xiao Xiao winked at the three dogs and ordered them to show their dignity in front of their first wives.
The three dogs understood Xiao Xiao's instructions and reluctantly went back to chew the dog food.
The girl lowered her head and stroked the dog's head, nodding silently.
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that there was a bruise the size of a coin on the girl's mouth, and there was also a band-aid on her stretched out slender wrist.
He felt a little curious in his heart, but although he had known the girl for a long time, he had never been familiar with her, and it was difficult to ask questions.
He turned around and planned to go back to the dock to go to work, but at this moment, Nuonuo suddenly raised his head and took the initiative to call him: "Brother Xiao..."
Xiao Xiao turned around and looked at her in surprise.
I saw that the girl's face was already red to the base of her ears. It seemed that she had spent a long time to gather her courage before she whispered: "You...do you have any money on you?"
Xiao Hao was suddenly surprised: "What are you doing?"
Nuonuo was silent for a long time and said: "I...can you lend me two thousand yuan? I will definitely pay it back to you."
The family conditions of those who live in their neighborhood should not be too bad, except for their own family.
Xiao Xiao also remembered that this girl's mother was a strong woman, she had a big business, and she drove customized cars.
It is completely unreasonable for her to borrow money from herself...
Could it be another manifestation of the city's will? Did she make such a move driven by another will?
Xiao Xiao couldn't figure it out for a moment, but after seeing the girl finish speaking, she lowered her head silently, as if she didn't dare to look into his eyes.
The three cute dogs were between the two of them, looking at this, then at that, then lowering their heads to grab a bite of dog food.
Xiao Xiao finally couldn't bear to refuse and nodded lightly.
Nuonuo was unexpectedly touched. The most touching thing was that Xiao Xiao agreed to lend her money, but did not ask her what she wanted to borrow the money for.
She directly added Xiao Xiao's contact information and promised to pay it back.
Xiao Xiao agreed with a smile, then turned and walked out of the block to take the subway to work at the pier. Before leaving, he turned around and took a look, vaguely feeling that the connection between himself and the three cute dogs had deepened in some way.
"Otherwise, how about really trying to strengthen them?"
Xiao Xiao had this idea in his mind again, but it still made him feel a little distressed to think that one enhancement would be worth 100 points.
I haven't paid back the 100 points I owe Yang Jia.
But when I was thinking about this problem, I just got on the subway and received a message from the little designer of Ruanruan: "Handsome brother, have you checked your points?"
"Checked."
Xiao Xiao had seen it last night. The points had arrived, 303 points, and he hurriedly replied: "Are you sure you don't need to give you part of it? Do I want to return Yang Jia's points to her now?"
"No need..."
The little designer of Ruanruan sent a message briskly: "Sister Jiajia is not short of these 100 points. I didn't contribute much in this mission, and I don't care about you."
"Moreover, with these three hundred points, your strengthening has reached a critical point..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao was curious: "How to say? Do I need to exchange for something?"
Ruanruan replied: "The situation is a bit complicated, mainly because I didn't expect you to gain so much all at once."
"In short, with these points, you can already choose to redeem a unit of intermediate strengthening elements to improve yourself. The same is true for three units as a whole."
"Now you can choose to buy one first, or you can choose to buy three at the same time after saving 600 points."
"It stands to reason that as a newcomer, you usually buy one if you can. After all, after using the intermediate strengthening elements, you are considered a veteran."
"However, you have only completed the primary enhancement a few days ago, and three of them are used together. If you buy the intermediate gene enhancement potion immediately, the time interval is too short, and I worry that it will put too heavy a burden on your body."
"..."
"That's true..."
Xiao Xiao felt that he understood and nodded silently: "It's three parts of medicine and poison..."
"..."
Ruanruan was stunned for a moment before replying: "It has nothing to do with that. At most, the physical burden exceeds the limit, the gene collapses, and it turns into a monster or a pool of blood..."
Xiao Xiao: "...Isn't this more poisonous than medicine?"
"So, my suggestion to you is, either use these three hundred points to buy some powerful weapons."
"Either, just save it."
Ruanruan's little designer said: "After accumulating 600 points, I can directly complete the intermediate strengthening. In the process, I will understand myself and determine the strengthening route that I will focus on in the future."
Xiao Xiao had no objection to the professionals' suggestions and immediately agreed.
However, Xiao Xiao, who originally thought even one hundred points was too expensive, thought about how he now had more than three hundred useless points...
So, the strengthening of the house-wrecking dog, the old record player, the butcher bound to a chainsaw...
