The live-streamed object exploration made me release that bird.

Chapter 46: Acquired a Spirit Pet

It's about four kilometers away, not very far.

Despite it being a rural road, Yang Xun arrived at his destination, marked by a flashing red dot, in less than twenty minutes by car.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ming got out of the car and ran over before him: "Little black dog, this is my little black dog! Uncle, are you taking the dog out to sell again? Don't you know you've already sold this little black dog to me? Why didn't you contact me when you knew my little black dog had come back?"

At this moment, Yang Xuncai got off the car with a pole, but when he saw the small dogs in the cages and the simple old man's face, he advised, "Brother Xu, don't get excited. Let's hear what the old man has to say."

The old man said, feeling wronged, "Boss, you've misunderstood me. Xiao Hei did run back, but I don't know how it got back. However, I've already sold Xiao Hei to you, and I certainly won't sell it again."

However, I don't have your phone number or WeChat. How am I supposed to find you? I can only take Xiao Hei out to set up my stall again and see if I can run into you, the boss, and then give Xiao Hei back to you.

Now that you're here, boss, you can take Xiao Hei back. Boss, after you take Xiao Hei back, you need to take care of it for a while, otherwise it will run back again.

If I had known that Xiao Hei could find its way back from so far away, I probably wouldn't have sold it. Please treat Xiao Hei well, boss.

Upon hearing this and seeing the situation, Yang Xun said, "Brother Xu, it's good that Xiao Hei has been found. Let's not delay the old man from going out to do business."

"Yes, sir, I misunderstood you. We'll take Little Black back with us now."

Xu Ming didn't want to get entangled any further, so he put the cage and the little black dog in the car before going back with Yang Xun.

Soon after, he returned to Xu Ming's home.

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Xu Ming took out his phone and transferred 500 yuan, thanking the streamer again, "Thank you for helping me find Xiao Hei. I've already transferred the 500 yuan. Please don't think it's too little."

"Brother Xu, since I promised you, it's not a matter of how much money I have."

Yang Xun accepted the five hundred yuan and replied with a word. After a moment's thought, he asked again, "Brother Xu, I'd like to ask if I could transfer ownership of Xiao Hei outside?"

Xu Ming's eyes widened: "No... you've got your eye on Xiao Hei too, streamer? Transferring it is no problem, but I'll be going on a business trip for a while, and after raising a dog for a few days, I found it quite troublesome. I just don't know how much you're willing to pay, streamer?"

Yang Xun countered, "Brother Xu, Xiao Hei is yours, name your price."

"I see!"

Xu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Host, I bought Xiao Hei for 100 yuan, and I'll spend another 500 yuan to ask you to help me find it. Since you like Xiao Hei so much, you can have 1,000 yuan."

"OK."

Yang Xun transferred 1,000 yuan to Xu Ming without hesitation.

Xu Ming accepted the thousand yuan without hesitation, saying, "Hey streamer, the little black guy outside is yours!"

Ding.

[Obtain a spirit pet.]

Upon seeing the system notification on his forehead, Yang Xun stared in astonishment.

Unexpectedly, the special local dog, Xiao Hei, turned out to be the spirit pet that had been elusive and had no clue about in the object detection system.

That thousand yuan was well spent.

Xu Ming was surprised by Yang Xun's actions and subconsciously said, "Host, a thousand yuan is already very cheap. If I didn't have to go on a business trip recently, I wouldn't sell Xiao Hei for several thousand yuan to anyone else. Selling it to you for a thousand yuan only makes me four hundred yuan. But I raised it for a few days and went to great lengths to find it. Isn't it worth four hundred yuan for my labor?"

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, that's not what I meant. Thank you for transferring Xiao Hei to me. Brother Xu, let's go out to eat, it's on me."

Coming to his senses, Yang Xun quickly offered an explanation and generously treated everyone to dinner.

"Okay."

Afterwards, Yang Xun took Xu Ming to Jiang's Restaurant for dinner.

Jiang Ran joked, "Xiao Xun, it only costs five hundred yuan to find a mongrel, and you're willing to go looking for one, but you spent a thousand yuan to buy this little black dog back. Isn't that a loss?"

Yang Xun pointed to the little black dog eating leftovers in the cage and replied to Jiang Ran, "Mr. Jiang, what do you know? This mongrel is worth a fortune. Now, even if you offered me ten thousand or a hundred thousand, or even a million, I wouldn't sell it. Such a valuable mongrel, and I only spent a thousand yuan to get it. Mr. Jiang, tell me, did I make a profit or a loss?"

Jiang Ran scoffed: "Xiao Xun, you're just bragging. It's just an ordinary mongrel dog. What's it worth? I wouldn't take it even if it were given to me for free."

"Mr. Jiang, you don't know what's good for you. Mr. Jiang, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I need to go back and settle Xiao Hei down."

Yang Xun pursed his lips, and seeing that Xiao Hei had eaten and drunk his fill, he said goodbye, picked up Xiao Hei from the cage, got into the car, and went back.

Soon, Yang Xun returned to the rental building by car, but as he carried the cage up to his room, Chen Rongqian came down from upstairs.

"Xiao Xun, where did you get this puppy?"

Yang Xun glanced at Chen Rongqian with surprise and replied, "Sister Chen, this is Xiao Hei, which I bought for a thousand yuan. Oh, by the way, Sister Chen, is it okay to keep a dog in a rented apartment?"

"You've got too much money, Xiao Xun. You can find plenty of these common mongrel dogs in the countryside for just a hundred or so."

Chen Rongqian widened her eyes slightly and sized up the little black dog. The little black dog was nothing special, extremely ordinary. After considering for a moment, she said, "I definitely wouldn't allow other people to keep dogs in a rented room, but it's for you, Xiao Xun. It's fine for you to keep one. It's okay when it's small, but it's very inconvenient to keep a big dog in a rented room."

"Sister Chen, you and President Jiang don't know what's good for you."

As Xiao Hei's owner, Yang Xun wouldn't allow Xiao Hei to be belittled. He frowned slightly and said, "It seems I need to find a spacious house."

Chen Rongqian paused for a moment and said, "Xiao Xun, I only waived your rent for three months. Don't you want to live here for free? As for keeping a dog, I really don't recommend it. Keeping a dog is not only troublesome, but it can also disturb others. If you want to keep a pet, it's much better to keep a cat. They are well-behaved and don't cause any trouble."

Besides, Xiao Xun, your little black dog is quite ordinary; there's no need to keep it.

"Sister Chen, I'm determined to keep Xiao Hei. As for the rent, it's only a few dollars. Sister Chen, I can't talk to you now. I need to settle Xiao Hei in. I'll be looking for a place to live later. I'm planning to move to a bigger place so I can take better care of Xiao Hei."

After thinking it over again, Yang Xun realized that finding a new place to live was urgent.

He doesn't lack the money for rent right now. If he had enough to buy a house outright, he would love to buy one right away so he can live comfortably and support Xiao Hei.

"Little Xun, you..."

Chen Rongqian was stunned, not expecting that she couldn't persuade Yang Xun.

Yang Xun ignored Chen Rongqian, carried the cage inside, closed the door, and then carefully examined the little black spirit pet he had just acquired.

As for Xiao Hei, apart from its intelligent eyes, it had nothing else particularly special about it.

It's a spirit pet recognized by the system, so it must have some amazing abilities, but they just haven't been discovered yet.

Afterwards, Yang Xun searched for rental information online and quickly found a two-story house with a courtyard for rent.

"This house is probably more suitable for keeping a dog."

After thinking it over for a while, Yang Xun made a decision and immediately took Xiao Hei downstairs to the car and headed to the address of the house he had chosen.

After about an hour of haggling with the landlord, Yang Xun rented the two-story house with a courtyard in a slightly remote area for two thousand yuan a month.

After renting the house, Yang Xun didn't delay and immediately went back to his original rented house to start moving. It took him an entire afternoon to settle into his new home and let Xiao Hei run around in the yard.

"Little Black, look how good I am to you. I even moved to a new home for you. Do you like it?"

In the courtyard, Yang Xun spoke to the little black dog that was running around excitedly.

Wang Wang!

Yang Xun loved the clever and understanding little black dog even more after hearing Xiao Hei's few responses.

However, I only completed one item search today and earned 500 yuan, while buying Xiao Hei and moving to a new house cost several thousand yuan.

This made Yang Xun unable to resist checking his private messages on the live streaming platform account again, and he was suddenly stunned by the 99+ private messages.

He remembered that he had just cleared his private messages around noon, and he hadn't been live-streaming in the afternoon, so why did his private messages suddenly explode?

Driven by curiosity, Yang Xun opened these private messages.
