Pet King - Chapter 127

Chapter 127
Snowy wandered around the community after leaving home .


The villa was quiet . The noise of the city was blocked by the tall, guarded walls .
Not far away, she heard dogs barking .
"Ruff-ruff!"
A Husky jumped out from the trees along the pond and ran towards Snowy’s Persian cat, Snowball . From behind Snowy, Snowball jumped in front of her owner to protect her . Snowball had to be really alert . Her ears opened . Her hair stood up, which made her look even larger . She was making a threatening sound . Trying to scare the Husky away, she even held up her paw in preparation for a fight .
The Husky opened his eyes with a funny look . He made a sharp stop and fell . After rolling around, he stood up and walked around both Snowy and Snowball in a large circle .
"Go! Go! Go away!" Snowy attempted to kick him out .
The Husky didn’t seem to get it .
"Oh? Isn’t this Uncle Jin’s dog?" Snowy remembered .
"Snowy, words bleed . You just hurt my feelings!" There came Uncle Jin’s sad voice from the weeping willows .
She realized that what she just said had a double meaning . "Oops…" She made a face and was surprised at how great Uncle Jin’s ears were .
Uncle Jin whistled loudly, "Good-For-Nothing, come back!"
The Husky looked at Uncle Jin, and then looked at Snowball, as if he was making a tough decision: go to his owner or stay with Snowball .
"Ha-ha!" Snowy couldn’t help but laugh . She didn’t expect such a hilarious name for this dog: Good-For-Nothing .
"Good-For-Nothing, I am going to start counting . If you don’t come back when I count to ten, you won’t have meat for dinner tonight . One, two, three…"
The husky jumped up and flew back to the trees . It was much faster than when he ran over .
"Snowball, let’s go take a look," Snowy spoke to Snowball and headed towards the trees .
It was a nice area full of weeping willows . The spaces between the trees were similar . It was quiet, but not dark in the woods . There were hidden cameras installed on the trees along the pond . The area was monitored 24/7 in case someone fell into the water . Wearing an old jacket, some large pants, and slippers, Uncle Jin was sitting on a campstool fishing . There was a bucket next to him .
The management office put many carp in the pond for people to fish .
The Husky went back to Uncle Jin, smiling . Uncle Jin knocked on the dog’s head, "What a stupid dog . Eating is the only purpose in your life!"
The Husky shook his head, put his tongue out and didn’t really care what Uncle Jin said .
Snowy watched him fish for a while . No one was talking .
Uncle Jin didn’t fish for food . He released them as soon he got one, and then put another worm on his hook .


Snowy was disgusted seeing the live worms, so she was about to leave .
"Snowy, are you sad?" Uncle Jin asked, unexpectedly .
"What?" Snowy was in shock . He didn’t even look at her . How did he know she was sad?

"Ha-ha… A normal Snowy would not be patient enough to watch me fish," he laughed . "What’s up? Got dumped?"
"Of course not!" Snowy pursed her lips, squatted down, pulled up some grass and threw the grass into the pond one piece at a time .
"Then what is it?"
She thought for a second and asked, "Uncle Jin, you either walk your dog or fish every day . Do you have to work?"
"Work? I have made enough . I am retired by now, trying to enjoy life," Uncle Jin said . Then he murmured, "What a sneaky fish! Took a bite and left!"
"I am not like your father . Your father is a pure workaholic . I am happy with what I have," He said as he prepared his line with new bait .
Snowy was confused, "My father said you are wealthier than him . "
"What is he joking about? Look at me . Do I look like a rich man? My whole outfit cost less than 100 Yuan . "


Snowy remained silent . After a few minutes, she asked, "Uncle Jin, are you playing a RPG game?"
For some reason, Snowy felt comfortable having a few words with this Uncle Jin, who was as casual and funny as his Husky . She was comfortable enough to discuss topics with him that she couldn’t even talk about with her parents .
"What?" He turned his head, looking at her .
"RPG stands for role playing game…" She explained .
"No, no . I am not asking what a RPG is . I know what it is . You weren’t even born when I played RPG games . My question was, what did you ask that for?" Uncle Jin put the fishing pole aside and spanked the Husky who was about to run off .
"Well… Someone said that to me . I didn’t understand…I think you are playing an RPG game, too . You are a well-off guy, yet still live a normal life . "
Uncle Jin said with distain, "The person who told you that must not have money . "
Zhang Zian came up in Snowy’s mind . She said, "Yeah, I don’t think so . "
"Snowy, having money is not a bad thing . Money provides more opportunities and possibilities for us," Uncle Jin pointed at himself, "If I don’t have much money, I can only live a normal life . I can’t do anything about it . When I am better-off, I have more options . I can choose to live a wealthy or normal life . It is my life that no one can change . "
Snowy nodded, but she wasn’t sure if she understood it at all .
Uncle Jin continued, "When I was at the entrepreneurs’ meeting, many people, including your father, said that I was not doing the right thing . They said I retired too soon and already lived like an old man . I told them that was bullsh*t . My mind is more youthful than any of theirs . "
He raised his voice, "You can never make enough money . There will always be people that are wealthier than you . For me, as long as I have enough, I am happy . I’d rather spend time enjoying myself than trying to make more money . Look at people like your own father . They work extremely hard their entire life and retire old . What can they do then, other than just be old and sick, and wait for their time to go?"
"Snowy, you are at an age to play your RPG . A normal person couldn’t afford it . They have to work for a living . You are different . You are young and wealthy . Those are your most important assets . You will only find out what you really like after experiencing life . I am sure your parents would love to see you end up with a happy life eventually . "
"So, in the future, if someone asks you the same question, tell him bravely, ‘Yes, I am playing an RPG and it is none of your f*cking business!’"
"Ruff-ruff!"
Husky barked as if he also agreed .
"Son of a b*tch! Stop barking!" Uncle Jin spanked him again . "I am trying to talk here . Be quiet!"
Snowy’s eyes brightened . What bothered her for a few days was all gone . She was happy .
"Snowy, what do you do for a living?" Uncle Jin glanced at her .
"I am an online liveshow hostess," she said proudly .
Snowy had come back to life!
