Andre's Pet Shop Adventure

Andre was standing at the back of the store, thinking about many things in the store, when he suddenly heard some noises coming from the front of the store. He looked up and saw two girls looking into the store, one of whom was Claire who had been there before.

"The boss is coming out." Claire saw Andre coming out from the back, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She immediately pulled her friend beside her and walked into the store quickly.

Andre came to the counter and frowned slightly, wondering in his heart why these two people came this time, but he still remained polite on his face and asked, "Ladies, do you need my help?" When Andre thought of the previous top-grade lightning mouse, which only earned 108 euros, his heart ached slightly, as if it was gently grabbed by an invisible hand. That was not a very generous income.

Claire was keenly aware of Andre's strange expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, at this moment, she was completely occupied by the matter of the Lightning Mouse, and she didn't think too much. She just couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, do you still remember the Lightning Mouse I adopted?"

As soon as the voice fell, Andre felt as if something was tearing his heart. It felt like the scar on his chest was torn open fiercely. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his face became more gloomy, but he still asked: "What's wrong with it?"

"It's not that bad, but I'm really curious in my heart. I want to ask the boss if you have done anything special to it here?" Claire couldn't help it after all, and said all the questions in her heart.

Andre was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Madam, what do you think I would do to a little mouse?" There was a hint of helplessness and doubt in his tone, as if he was quite surprised by this question.

"Uh..." Claire heard Andre's question and immediately realized that her question was indeed a bit abrupt. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered with a little shyness: "Boss, you misunderstood. I just want to ask, have you trained it here?" At this point, her tone unconsciously carried a bit of caution and awe. After all, if the Lightning Rat was really cultivated so well here, there must be a master druid here. Such a person, even those bards with honorable titles, have to be polite to him, let alone her.

"Oh?" Andre raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. In an instant, his mind combined with the information he got from Isabella, and he immediately knew the other party's intention of coming here. I think, after seeing the little thing take action, he must be curious about the reason why it became stronger, so he came to explore it.

However, this involves many secrets of the pet store and the mysterious system, and Andre would never reveal any of it.

"If taking it out for a walk is considered training, then it has indeed been trained for a few days." Andre said casually, as if what he said was the absolute truth, and even he almost believed it.

Claire was stunned and asked in surprise: "Walking?"

"Yes, the little guy eats too much, so naturally he has to take it out for a walk to exercise his body." Andre continued to make up stories, his face unchanged and his heart not beating. Anyone who saw him talking nonsense would probably think that he was serious.

Seeing Andre's perfunctory attitude, Claire couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Boss, I'm serious, have you really not trained it before?"

Andre did not respond to her question, but just looked at her calmly, and said slowly: "Whether it has been trained or not, what does it have to do with you? If you don't like the Lightning Rat, you can return it to me, and I'm willing to pay for it. If you think it's good and want to give me a little more compensation, I naturally won't mind. But if there is nothing else, please leave, ladies, and don't affect my business." Although the words were said calmly, the meaning was very clear, and he actually issued an order to expel them directly.

Claire really didn't expect Andre to be so direct, and was a little stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly explained: "Boss, I don't mean that, I just want to confirm it. If you really helped me train it, please let me know, okay?" The tone was full of sincerity and eagerness, and there was a light of expectation in his eyes.

Andre raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Really, then let's consider it as trained, are you satisfied now?"

Claire was choked and speechless for a while, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Hey, boss, we are not here to cause trouble. If you helped us train the lightning mouse, just tell us directly, it won't be a problem for us." Lan Lele, who was standing aside, was very dissatisfied with Andre's attitude and couldn't help but speak up, with a bit of complaint in his tone, and a bit more displeasure in his eyes when he looked at Andre.

Andre just glanced at her, his expression still calm, and said: "I have already said that I have trained. But if you two want to inquire about the process and methods of training, then I can only apologize."

Claire then realized that Andre had misunderstood their meaning and thought that they wanted to pry into the secrets of training. She quickly shook her head and said: "Boss, we have no intention of exploring your training methods and processes. We are just sincerely grateful to you for helping me cultivate such an excellent pet."

"Oh..." Seeing this, Andre's cold expression on his face was slightly put away, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He said: "Since you want to thank me, it would be more practical to give more euros."

"Ah?" Claire was stunned when she heard this, her eyes full of surprise. Want money? In her opinion, the person who can cultivate a lightning mouse to such a powerful level must be a lofty and extraordinary person. How could he care about these worldly money?

"No money?" Seeing Claire in a daze, Andre raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face turned cold again. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, as if he was very dissatisfied with their reaction.

Claire saw Andre's expression change instantly, and felt a little dazed. She couldn't help but think to herself, why did she feel that she seemed to have made a mistake from the beginning to the end? Was her lightning mouse really cultivated here?

"Is this what it means to be blinded by money? I have finally seen it today!" Seeing Andre's reaction, Lan Lele couldn't help but complain in a low voice, full of disdain. Then, she reached out and grabbed Claire's arm, saying, "Claire, I think you are mistaken. It is impossible to breed your Lightning Mouse in a place like this. Either the little thing suddenly got it's way, or there is some other reason. Let's go back and think about it carefully."

Claire came back to her senses, shook her head slightly, and said firmly, "Since the boss said it has been trained, I believe it has changed here. In any case, I still have to thank the boss for taking care of it."

After saying that, she saw that Andre still had a calm face and seemed indifferent to her words. Suddenly, her heart moved and she immediately realized something. She quickly took out her purse, took out the corresponding coins, transferred 1,000 euros, and said, "Boss, this is a little thanks to you, I hope you will accept it."

Andre really didn't expect that the other party would actually give extra money, and this was quite generous. Surprised, he couldn't help but nod slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, if you give more, it would be even better."

Claire was speechless when she saw this, thinking in her heart that it was impossible to continue to give Andre money. This request was too much.

"What kind of person is this!" Lan Lele was so angry that she almost jumped up when she heard Andre's words, her face flushed, and her heart was full of indignation. At this moment, her eyes accidentally swept over the many pet foods on the counter behind Andre, and she suddenly widened her eyes and shouted in astonishment: "300 euros per plant? This, this, this is too unscrupulous, isn't it?!" As she spoke, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Claire's arm tightly, and said anxiously: "Let's go, this store is definitely a black shop, it's too deceptive!" Claire was stunned by her words, and subconsciously looked up at the pet foods behind Andre, and was immediately stunned. However, her body only shook twice, but she was not dragged away by Lan Lele, but stood there, as if she was lost in thought. After a while, Claire slowly came back to her senses and couldn't help looking up at Andre, but saw that Andre still had a calm face, without any shame on his face, as if the high price was justified. Claire was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said to Andre: "Boss, I want to foster a few more pets, is it possible?" She thought to herself, since the Lightning Rat could become so powerful here, perhaps fostering other pets here would also help them grow.

Andre was naturally very happy when he heard that there was business coming to the door, and nodded quickly and said: "Of course, ma'am, how long do you plan to foster them?"

"Three days." Claire thought for a while and said softly.

Andre nodded slightly, turned around and took out an old-fashioned calculator, tapping his fingers on it quickly, muttering to himself: "Three days, three times twenty-four, well, each pet needs 7,200 euros for fostering. How many do you plan to foster?"

"Foster three..." Claire just said halfway, her eyes widened instantly, looking at Andre in astonishment, her voice unconsciously raised a few decibels, "Foster, how much is the fostering fee?"

"Did I hear it right?" Lan Lele was also confused, with disbelief in his eyes, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights.

"7,200 euros." Andre saw the two people's reaction, frowned slightly, and said in a flat tone.

"7200 euros?" Claire couldn't help but repeat it, her eyes full of doubt, even wondering if there was something wrong with her ears, "7200 euros for each one? Boss, I'm only fostering for three days!" Andre nodded again and said, "Yes, that's the price for three days. The fostering fee here is 100 euros per hour. After three days, it's exactly 7200 euros." "100 euros per hour?" Lan Lele widened his eyes and looked at Andre as if he was looking at a monster. His eyes were full of disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why the fostering fee was so high.
