Pet King - Chapter 788

Chapter 788
Zhang Zian didn't forget what he came for and returned with his hands full .


He found a high rock at the beach, stood on it, and turned on the underwater loudspeaker . Sihwa's song in an unknown language flew out of the speaker and mixed with some strange sound . 　　
Soon, under the rocks and in the puddles nearby, the marine creatures that he had left behind started moving towards the sea like an ebb . Some were slow and some were fast . Some swam, some ran, and some jumped . Some presumingly local creatures stayed there without moving . 　　
After the majority had left, Zhang Zian put the speaker into the sea and waited for a while . He could not see anything above the sea surface, but he expected it to work . 　　
The coast was quiet again . He also started his journey home . 　　
After driving back to the pet shop, he realized that he had already spent two to three hours outside . It was almost noon . 　　
The Amazing Fate Aquarium door was open and a lot of loose pieces of cardboard and strings were on the ground . Zhang Zian guessed that the custom-made tanks had finally arrived . 　　
"Wang Qian! Li Kun! Come out and carry this stuff inside!" he shouted . 　　
"Aye! Coming!"　　
They ran out of the aquarium one after the other with sweat on their foreheads . 　　
"Master, all the tanks are here . We examined each one . None of them are broken . Just come in and take a look," they said . 　　
"No rush . Just help me move the things in the car first . " The storage boxes filled with saltwater were quite heavy, so Zhang Zian asked them to help . 　　
As the trunk opened, Wang Qian and Li Kun were stunned . 　　
"Holy crap! Master, where did you get all these fish? And crabs… and shrimp . "　　
Zhang Zian recited the lines he prepared in advance, "I took a walk at the beach, and I happened to come across a group of fishermen returning from a fishing trip . I bought these from them . When you fish, anything can be caught in the net . Apart from edible fish, there are some ornamental fish occasionally, and even some rare fish . I told them not to throw them back into the sea next time . I'll buy them for a high price . "　　
Part of what he said was the truth . Most fishermen had no idea that the colorful fish were in fact quite expensive . They either tossed them back or gave them to children to play with . Some even cooked and ate them . It was such a waste of the heavenly gifts . 　　
Only a few fishermen knew how much the ornamental fish were worth, but they had nowhere to sell them . It was not worth it to set up a stand in the aquarium market just to sell one or two ornamental fish . 　　
He made up such a good story that Wang Qian and Li Kun fully bought it . They exclaimed, "Master, this is such a brilliant idea! Is this direct selling? There won't be any rip-off by the aquarium market middle men!"　　
Zhang Zian smiled calmly on purpose as an agreement . 　　
There was another advantage in his story . There were neither invoices nor receipts . The transactions were untraceable, no matter the number, or the prices, of his purchase . It was as much as he claimed to be… there were so many fishermen in Binhai City . Who would bother asking them one by one?　　
Zhang Zian gave instructions while they carried the storage boxes into the aquarium . Lu Yiyun came out to help as well, recording the varieties and numbers of the creatures according to their kind . 　　


After entering the aquarium, Zhang Zian saw that the custom-made tanks were all in their places . The empty first floor was totally transformed . Yet, as the tanks had just arrived, the accessories were still cluttered on the floor and the tanks were empty . After they were filled with saltwater and all sorts of marine creatures, they must look amazing with the lighting effects . 　　
Knock, knock!　　
"Hello, anyone here?"　　

Zhang Zian turned his head and recognized Jiang Feifei, the girl from the aquarium market, standing at the door . 　　
Compared to the delicate facial features and the smooth, fair skin of city girls, she had thick eyebrows and a rough skin texture . But she looked very healthy . She had a wheatish skin tone that Westerners loved a lot . She must have spent a lot of time working outdoors, and she must have done a lot of farmer's work in her hometown . It was easy to recognize her from a crowd . 　　
"Oh, what are you here for?" Zhang Zian asked Wang Qian and Li Kun to keep moving, while he went over and talked to her . 　　
"I'm here to return this . There's nobody next door . I saw the door open here and came in . " She took out a portable charger from her backpack . "Snowy lent me this the other day and never came looking for it . I don't know how to return it to her… Then I remembered that you know Snowy . So I searched for the address of your pet shop, so that you can return it for me . Do you know where Snowy lives?"　　
Zhang Zian took the portable charger from her hands . He turned it on and the indicator bar was full . 　　
He knew that Snowy would not care about a portable charger and would not mind giving it to her . She never expected it back . Yet, not only Feifei did male the trip to return it, but she had also charged it fully . 　　
"I only know a rough location . I can mail it . But Snowy is coming here in a few days, so I can give it to her then to save on mailing costs," he answered . 　　


"Thank you! Sorry for the inconvenience! Same for the other day . If you and Snowy were not there, I'd surely have lost everything," she said gratefully . 　　
Zhang Zian shook his head . "Correcting the injustice is the right thing to do . Besides, it's a small favor not worth mentioning… Don't you have classes today?"　　
"I'm in my fourth year and classes are finished . I have one more semester left . Now I'm doing my undergraduate project, so I have lots of free time," she answered . 　　
"So? You are from Binhai University?" Wang Qian and Li Kun asked curiously after hearing their conversation . 　　
"Yes . Are you studying there as well?" Jiang Feifei nodded . 　　
"We are in our third year . We should call you senior . Haha!" They laughed . 　　
"Watch your feet . Don't stumble!" Zhang Zian reminded them . 　　
After knowing that the two simple-minded guys were alumni, Jiang Feifei suddenly felt a bit closer to them . "Are you working here part time?"　　
"No, we are cultivating here," they answered seriously . 　　
Jiang Feifei was made clueless…　　
Zhang Zian interrupted . "Just ignore them . They are working here part-time . There's something wrong with their brains . "　　
"Oh…" Jiang Feifei then looked at Lu Yiyun, who appeared two or three years younger . She asked, "Are you studying at Binhai University as well?"　　
"Me…" Lu Yiyun paused after hearing this, then whispered, "Sort of . But I dropped out . "　　
As Jiang Feifei realized that she just asked a sensitive question, she appeared embarrassed . Then she smiled awkwardly and said, "If I didn't meet Store Manager Zhang and Snowy the other day, I'd have been expelled from the university…" 　　
Zhang Zian said, "Everybody is good at something and not good at something . Yiyun doesn't like school, but she's an excellent painter… a professional one . "　　
"Really? I've always admired good painters ever since I was young!" Jiang Feifei continued on this topic . 　　
"No, I'm not that good…" Lu Yiyun blushed, as she was not used to being praised . 　　
Knock, knock!　　
"Anyone inside?"　　
As they were speaking, another person knocked at the door .
