The whole nation is awakening, but I open an elf pet shop

When Su Bai heard the little boy's answer, he was slightly startled and looked down.

The blue coat on the little boy looked familiar.

He reached out his hand and gently turned the little boy in a small arc.

The four characters "Haicheng Welfare" behind the little boy are particularly eye-catching.

Su Bai sighed slightly: "You ran away from the orphanage? You haven't awakened yet?"

An extremely complicated look appeared on the little boy's immature face at this moment.

He responded vaguely, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, you're a big kid..."

Su Bai sighed helplessly again and took the little boy's hand: "Why are you running away in such a hurry? I won't notify the orphanage. Don't worry."

The little boy obviously didn't want to believe Su Bai's words, but don't say that Su Bai was a super newbie now.

Even if he is just an ordinary adult, he still has the physique of a little boy.

Seeing that he couldn't get away, he immediately turned around and begged pitifully: "I really don't want to go back to the orphanage, just let me... let me go, okay?"

"I promise I will never come to the Fairy Center again!"

Apparently, he thought it was the way he squatted at the door that made the boss Su Bai unhappy.

Su Bai silently looked at the little boy.

The clothes were dirty, but the face remained extremely clean.

Although he looked malnourished, his eyes were very lively, especially when he accidentally saw the elf center.

It made people feel the longing in his heart.

This is a pair of eyes that can speak.

It is actually not easy for a child who has escaped from an orphanage to clean his little face.

And to have this kind of look is actually even more rare.

"You can't just ignore it when you encounter it..."

Su Bai shook his head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something first."

…

It’s still that barbecue stall.

The aunt scolded Su Bai while serving a bowl of clear soup noodles.

"You kid, you told me last time that my aunt was treating me to a treat, but you still insisted on giving me money!"

"And how can you bring such a young child to barbecue? Fortunately, I have some noodles here. Let me tell you, the smell of barbecue is too strong. It is not good for the child to eat too much!"

"This child's clothes are all dirty. Did he roll in the mud? Is he so naughty?"

"Come on, drag me down and let mom dust you off..."

The owner of the barbecue stall stopped talking. In order to take off the little boy's coat, she saw the words "Haitian Welfare".

"this……"

"Child, eat quickly, there is not enough to eat."

The landlady sighed softly, stopped moving her hands, patted Su Bai on the shoulder, and left.

Su Bai remained silent, looking at the little boy in front of him eagerly picking up chopsticks to eat noodles, feeling helpless in his heart.

It can be said that the human structure of this world has been completely destroyed by the dead beasts.

But the more this happens, the more critical the number of humans becomes.

In this world, there is no such thing as a wandering orphan.

This is also the reason why the proprietress didn't think the child was an orphan in the first place. She thought it was just the child's playfulness that made the clothes dirty.

All orphans, regardless of their reasons, will successfully grow up under the operation of social welfare and become the cornerstone of human society.

But the cruel thing is that there are also different levels of orphans.

Those who are talented and awakened early will be cultivated with emphasis and sent directly to the Awakened Academies.

Those without talent, such as little boys, will be sent to orphanages to learn various vocational skills at a very young age.

In other words, the lives of these children have been decided to death.

Unless it is adopted by a kind person, or the child suddenly wakes up and walks out of the orphanage.

Otherwise, this child's future may be to contribute his insignificant strength to the whole of mankind in a certain position.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with this, but in fact, it also obliterates the nature of these children.

Su Bai has no way to judge whether this kind of thing is right or wrong, after all, the pressure of human beings in this world is extremely huge.

If it weren't for the rigorous and cruel decision-making, it would be impossible for human beings to survive.

However, he understood the child in front of him.

Because he is also unaware and an orphan.

If it weren't for the fact that my father and mother left behind a pile of inheritance before they died, I'm afraid he would have become a small screw in human society...

"Huh~~~~"

Just when Su Bai was thinking wildly, the little boy let out a long breath.

Only then did Su Bai realize that the little boy had finished the entire bowl of noodles in one go.

"Is that enough? Do you want another bowl?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "No need to be polite to me."

The little boy ate a bowl of noodles and obviously became familiar with Su Bai, not as reserved as before.

However, he still shook his head with great restraint and said: "Thank you for the noodles, but I'm full, so I'll leave first..."

With that said, the little boy turned and left.

Su Bai helplessly stretched out his hand and grabbed this weird child: "I told you not to send you to the orphanage!"

The little boy probably knew he couldn't break free, so he turned around and said, "Really?"

Su Bai nodded and said: "It's absolutely true! So sit down now and let me ask you some questions."

…

How could the little boy be so stubborn as Su Bai, a super newbie? In desperation, he explained exactly why he was here.

The little boy’s name is Zhou Xiaofei.

Perhaps because he has been wandering outside all year round, this child's verbal expression skills are surprisingly good.

Like most orphans, the little boy's parents died in an attack by a dead beast.

But unlike them, this death beast attack was caused by the contracted beast losing control.

The owner of the contracted beast also died at the mouth of his own contracted beast. This made the little boy unable to even receive compensation and went directly to the orphanage.

But the experience of his parents dying in front of him was too tragic, which made Zhou Xiaofei hate the existence of dead beasts.

So he vowed to be an awakener.

However, like Su Bai, he has been unable to awaken.

Unlike Su Bai, who seemed lucky because he had an inheritance, the little boy could not choose his own path in the orphanage, so he found the opportunity to escape.

As a result, not long after escaping, they were attacked by dead beasts.

Then, he sneaked into the city wall, just in time to see the mighty Forest Turtles and the others, as well as Groudon, who finally destroyed the world!

After going back and forth like this, he would be in a daze at the entrance of the Elf Center...

After listening to the child's words, Su Bai looked at the child in front of him and touched his chin.

Even when he said these words, the little boy still looked at Diancie and Meloetta with envy.

It is difficult to hide your love for something.

Even if this child is much more mature than others of the same age, it's still the same!

With a sad expression on her face, Dianxi floated in mid-air and gently stroked Zhou Xiaofei's head.

"This kid... looks a bit like me when I was a kid..."

After a while, Su Bai sighed and made a decision.

In his mind, he asked the system a question.

"System, can I recruit employees other than elves?"
