Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Buying Out the Pet Market
Lin Xiaoxiao was naturally delighted after making such a large deal, finding Fang Yuan increasingly agreeable. "Fang Yuan," Fang Yuan smiled slightly, pleased with his earnings, "I'll be going then." "Goodbye, Mr. Fang Yuan," Lin Xiaoxiao personally saw Fang Yuan out of the jewelry store, giving him her business card.
Leaving Nile Jewelry, Fang Yuan began his purchases, his first stop being the bird market. "Boss, how much are the birds here?" Fang Yuan asked, looking at the colorful birds. "Sir, your discerning eye… these phoenix birds are…" "They look pretty good, I'll take them all," Fang Yuan waved his hand, saying, "Pack them all up." "Ah?" "I'll take these turtles too, all of them." "These are soft-shelled turtles…" "And these goldfish look okay, I'll take them all too."
Fang Yuan went along, taking everything he liked. He planned to make his steel ball world diverse and beautiful; anything ugly wouldn't do. "Sir, are you serious? You want everything?" The boss was incredulous. While his goods weren't top-tier, they still amounted to several million.
Fang Yuan paid with his card without a word, packing up all the small animals. The boss finally believed him. As Fang Yuan loaded the numerous cages into his car, he was still stunned. He used to complain about slow business; now he couldn't sell fast enough. After Fang Yuan drove away, the boss came to his senses: "Hey, he bought everything! What am I going to do with my shop… restock, immediately, or I'll lose customers…"
That day, Fang Yuan swept through the entire bird market, becoming known to almost everyone there for his massive purchase of small animals. This caused a sudden surge in the prices of small animals in the market.
However, after his sweep, Fang Yuan moved on; having too many of the same species wasn't ideal; he would let them breed within the steel ball world. The next day, Fang Yuan went to the vegetable market. "Auntie, I'll take all your live fish." "Sister, I'll take all your fish." "Pack these all up, don't kill them… I don't want any dead ones."
Soon, Fang Yuan bought all the fish and aquatic creatures in the market, becoming famous again. The fish were mainly released into the ocean and large rivers, as ornamental fish wouldn't survive in the sea. "I have fish, but there are too few species." "Should I… steal a river?"
Even with improved fish stocks, there was a large shortage of land animals. "Or, should I empty a zoo?" Fang Yuan worried, sighing about the difficulties of being a world creator.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan heard a shout nearby, "Hey girl, you hit me, so you're buying me drinks!" Turning, he recognized someone. Wang Yuanyuan was holding her electric motorcycle, angrily looking at three young men. A crowd had gathered, and Fang Yuan quickly understood. The three men had deliberately blocked Wang Yuanyuan, nearly knocking her over, and then tried to bully her. "Little sister, just go with us, we won't make things difficult for you, just sing K and have some drinks…" "Exactly, women these days are too much. They hit someone and don't apologize, then even curse."
The three men surrounded Wang Yuanyuan, who was scared and looked to the onlookers for help, but no one intervened. "Little sister, come on…" A young man reached for her. "Don't touch me!" Wang Yuanyuan angrily dodged, seeing Fang Yuan in the crowd, and subconsciously shouted, "Fang Yuan, save me…"
The three men glanced at Fang Yuan but ignored him, continuing their advances. Fang Yuan frowned, immediately walking over and kicking the man harassing Wang Yuanyuan to the ground. "You, you dare…" Another man roared, punching Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan slapped him, sending him flying three or four meters.
The third young man was stunned, dumbfounded. The onlookers were also shocked, forgetting to gossip. Fang Yuan didn't stop, slapping the third young man, possibly causing a concussion. Intentionally or not, Fang Yuan's foot snapped the leg of the first man he kicked, causing the man to howl in pain. Wang Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's getting dark, go home."
After teaching the three a lesson, Fang Yuan smiled at Wang Yuanyuan and walked away. The whole thing lasted only seven or eight seconds: Fang Yuan kicked one, then slapped two, like swatting mosquitoes, leaving without a word. Wang Yuanyuan was stunned: "So cool…"
But when she recovered, Fang Yuan was gone. She quickly chased after him on her motorcycle.
Returning home and parking, Fang Yuan was about to enter when Wang Yuanyuan caught up. Fang Yuan was puzzled: "Why are you here? It's dark, go home, it's not safe here at night." "I came to thank you," Wang Yuanyuan said, "Thank you for saving me, those thugs were terrible." "It's nothing, anyone would have done the same." Fang Yuan smiled. "But so many people were there, only you helped me." Wang Yuanyuan said gratefully, then resentfully, "Those onlookers weren't human, they just watched."
"Uh, cough, do you want to come in and sit?" Fang Yuan opened the door. "No, my sister asked me to buy fish, but the market is gone, I'll go to the supermarket." Wang Yuanyuan smiled, "I'll go then." "You're buying fish? Wait."
Fang Yuan opened the door, reached inside, and brought out two fish: "I bought a lot, these two are for you, don't go to the supermarket, you might meet bad guys again." "Thank you, but it's not enough, my sister wants more." Wang Yuanyuan refused.
Fang Yuan reached in again, this time pulling out a net with seven or eight live fish, over ten kilograms: "Enough?" Wang Yuanyuan was puzzled, tilting her head to look inside, but saw no fish: "Where did you get these fish?" "I bought them, a lot of them."
Fang Yuan opened the door, revealing a large basin with dozens of lively fish splashing. Wang Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes widened: "Why didn't I see this basin before? Also, you just got home, when did this basin appear?" I'm saying you should focus on the fish, okay?
