The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 8: Rank Nine Beast King is Quite Good at Hiding!

"It's just a marker, and you want 1000 points from me? Why don't you go rob someone? This is worth a hundred thousand yuan."

Chen Mo was speechless, but although it was a bit expensive, this function was indeed very convenient. It allowed him to quickly find the most valuable targets in a crowd, so it was worth activating.

Chen Mo complained for a moment and directly spent 1000 survival points to activate the rank marker function.

[System prompt: Survival points deducted, rank marker function activated, current remaining survival points: 14819]

As soon as this rank marker function was activated, a box marker that only Chen Mo could see appeared on the heads of everyone, whether they were human or beast, in the pet shop.

Most of the characters' ranks were not very high, and there were even some people and animals with corpse markers on their heads.

It could be seen that they had all died half a year after the apocalypse arrived.

Chen Mo didn't pay attention to the fate of strangers, but instead turned his gaze to the various pets in the pet area.

Liu Qinlan had originally come with Chen Mo to pick a pet, but she was immediately captivated by these cute little furry creatures.

"Ah, this little dog is so cute." She played with a Schnauzer in her arms.

Chen Mo glanced at the marker on the Schnauzer's head: Rank One Mutant Beast.

Too weak, not interested at all.

He glanced at the other pets around him.

He found that the markers on the heads of the large pets were even worse than those on the heads of the small animals.

It seemed that after the apocalypse broke out, the larger the size, the more likely they were to encounter trouble.

Several large pets had corpse markers on their heads, indicating that they had all died.

Chen Mo glanced at the other cats and dogs around him, and the highest rank among them was only Rank Six.

"The Rank Nine Beast King isn't even among the cats and dogs? Could it be in the reptile area?"

Seeing that Chen Mo seemed to have not found one he liked after going around, Liu Qinlan curiously asked, "You didn't find one you liked?"

Chen Mo nodded, "I don't feel like any of them really fit my preferences. I'll go check out the reptile area over there."

"Then I'll wait for you here," Liu Qinlan said somewhat disappointedly.

Chen Mo immediately smiled and saw that she was afraid of reptiles.

He smiled and said, "Alright."

As Chen Mo entered the reptile area and scanned all the reptiles, he couldn't help but think that the reptiles in the reptile area seemed easy to die, but unexpectedly, their overall strength was actually one level higher than the pets in the neighboring furry area.

The highest-ranked reptile was actually Rank Seven.

However, even so, it was still not enough.

Chen Mo became curious. When he first entered, the system prompt clearly warned him that there was a Rank Nine Beast King inside.

How come he didn't encounter a single Rank Nine Beast King after going around?

He immediately called a waiter curiously and asked, "Are all the pets here on display?"

"Yes, all the pets we sell to the public are here," the waiter nodded and replied.

"All the pets for sale to the public are here? Does that mean there are some that are not for sale?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up and asked.

Seeing that Chen Mo was a friend of the boss's friend, the waiter replied enthusiastically, "Yes, the pets we normally sell are all properly bred and raised from a young age.

In addition, we also provide pet rescue and adoption services. We often rescue stray cats and dogs and find willing owners to adopt them. These pets are free, so they are not in the current sales area.

"Oh, I see. Can you take me to see them?" Chen Mo didn't expect that the Rank Nine Beast King would be hidden among the stray cats and dogs. It's quite good at hiding.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't want the pets that were being sold seriously and actually wanted to adopt a pet, the waiter was also quite surprised. But considering that he was a friend of his boss's friend, he didn't dare to offend him and immediately said, "Of course, please follow me."

"What's wrong, dear? Do you want to adopt a stray cat or dog?" Liu Qinlan was also quite surprised by Chen Mo's decision.

"Just want to take a look first." Chen Mo smiled and said.

"Stray cats and dogs are much harder to raise than pets outside." Liu Qinlan reminded.

"It's okay, I may not have anything else, but I have plenty of patience."

Soon, the waiter brought them to the backyard area where the stray cats and dogs were kept. There were many stray cats and dogs being treated here, many of them with physical disabilities, looking quite pitiful.

When they arrived here, Chen Mo found that these stray cats and dogs were much stronger than the cats and dogs in the pet area in front. There were two Rank Six and one Rank Seven among them. It seems that having experience as a stray also makes them more adaptable to the apocalypse.

After scanning these stray cats and dogs, Chen Mo suddenly saw a small yellowish puppy with the Rank Nine Beast King symbol on its head.

Chen Mo was stunned.

"How old is this puppy?" he quickly asked the waiter next to him.

"For this puppy, according to the time, the stray dog mother should have given birth to it three months ago. Originally, it could have been classified as a non-stray dog and put up for sale in the front, but the store manager said it should still be offered for free adoption as a stray dog."

"I see, can I adopt it?" Chen Mo said immediately.

At this moment, Liu Qinlan also couldn't help but love this little thing and reached out to touch the puppy, saying, "Although this puppy looks like a local breed, it's no worse than those recognized breeds outside. It's so cute."

"Since both of you like it, because this young lady is a gold card customer of our store, you only need to register your identity, and you can take the puppy directly. This way, we can also report to the store manager." The waiter smiled and said.

Normally, strangers who come here to adopt pets need to sign an adoption agreement. But seeing that Liu Qinlan is the boss's friend, the waiter simplified the process.

"What do you think, dear? Do you want to adopt this puppy?"

"I'll take it. I'll do whatever it takes to raise it." Chen Mo smiled and said, "By the way, help me prepare a set of pet supplies and puppy food."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."

Soon, the waiter picked out a pet bed, food bowl, dog food, and pet snacks for Chen Mo. Liu Qinlan generously paid with her card, causing the waiter to take a few more glances at Chen Mo. It seemed like they were treating him as a gigolo.

"By the way, what time do you close?"

"Our pet store usually closes at nine o'clock in the evening."

"We still need to buy some other things next. It's not suitable to leave the puppy in the car for a long time, so I'll leave it here with you for now, and I'll come to pick it up tonight."

"Okay, please rest assured, we will take good care of it. If you ever have any trouble and don't have time to take care of the pet, you can always bring it here for boarding. We guarantee that we will take care of them as well as at home."
