Chapter 21: A Rabbit That Exists Only in Fantasy
Xu Wu, who relied on snacks and dry food to fill his stomach, questioned Xia Phantom Moon about the problem he was worried about just now.
Got a positive reply from Phantom Moon: "Well, with the general lifespan of your humans, if you exist on the island for about 80 days, you will basically die of old age. ”
"Then what is the value of this game!It's just a life folding game!" Xu Wu yelled at Phantom Moon, who could understand his feelings? Just now, when he felt that he had suddenly encountered an adventure and felt that he was going to become the protagonist of the world, he suddenly told him that this protagonist could only be a hero for eighty days, and then he was about to die violently.
Phantom Moon frowned, and waited until Xu Wu stopped his voice and continued, "No one asks the island owner to enter the island to play. And it's just that for humans the game time on the island is 80 days, it's different for other creatures. For example, I can live on the island forever. ”
"I can't complain about the exemplary role of your example. But really, it's only true for humans, and among the recorded creatures, turtles have lived to be more than 200 years old. There are also creatures that are particularly long-lived, such as giant lizards in their 200s, ocean clams in their 400s, and even the newly discovered lighthouse jellyfish, which is immortal. Xu Wu saw that the game setting could not be changed, so he could only try to think about the problem from another angle.
Isn't that why you increase your lifespan on the island?
So, don't be human!
Xu Wu, who came to the conclusion, eliminated the conclusion again. After thinking about it, I can only enter the island as little as possible, and when I can't help it, I just need to go in and take a look twice.
The days that followed seemed to have returned to dull game time, but after Xu Wu found that his wallet was about to be empty, he didn't dare or want to ask his parents for money, so he could only silently go out and find a part-time job in a pet store.
Every day is to fill the gaps in the vegetation of the islands, and to invest in the natural enemies of the species that are growing by leaps and bounds.
For example, put in the meat-loving lions, control the population of the three hippos and antelopes.
Increase the variety of species in the woods, put in the recently noticed tree species oaks, cherry trees, aspen. By the way, I found a companion for the monkey - a chimpanzee, and consumed fruit all over the ground.
The variety of insects and birds can be increased in an orderly manner, and individual poisonous insects that specialize in hunting insects, such as centipedes, can also be put into the forest, after all, the number of various insects has also risen. In addition, because there has been a serious insect infestation, the whole tree has withered, Xu Wu has invested woodpeckers on a large scale to control the degree of erosion of the trees by pests.
The toothpick bird, which lives in symbiosis with crocodiles, is also gradually getting involved.
By the way, because Xu Wu was able to enter the island by himself, good-looking creatures such as red-crowned cranes and peacocks were gradually put on the island by him.
There are also various types of horses used for transportation, such as the most famous sweat and blood BMW, Xu Wu deliberately invested in two large groups. Since all types are calculated by weight, they must give priority to the famous BMW. When the time comes, he will be on the island, riding a sweaty BMW, speeding around, and it is not too comfortable.
Subconsciously, he ignored how untamable the wild horse was and the fact that he couldn't ride a horse at all.
......
"Sister Xing, good morning. Xu Wu pushed open the door of the pet store and found that there were already people in the store who had started working.
Sister Xing, whose full name is Wang Xing, is an employee of this pet store, and she has been working for a year.
At this time, she was about to change the dressing of an injured pet dog. Yes, this pet store is also a veterinarian shop, and it usually accepts some injured pets for treatment.
Changing dressings on the hospital bed was a Samoyed that was delivered yesterday. When it was delivered, the flesh and blood on the hind legs were blurred, and I saw that the wound was sawed out by something, and I didn't know who was so ruthless.
At that time, it took a lot of energy to sedate, stop bleeding, bone-graft, fix, bandage, and take a lot of energy.
Xu Wu washed his hands at the sink and said to Sister Xing: "Sister Xing, do you want me to change the dressing?"
Sister Xing shook her head, kept moving her hands, and said with a smile on her face: "It's good for you to watch it first, Xiao Wu, I know you know a lot, but after all, you didn't study veterinary medicine before, and there are some places that still need to be learned." ”
Xu Wu nodded, put on a medical glove, gave the gloves with alcohol, followed by a mask, a hat, and a medical coat, and then walked into the pet medical room.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" It's just that there is no need to answer, Xu Wu's eyes have already told him the answer, and Samoyed opened his big mouth and bit towards Sister Xing like crazy.
Without thinking at all, Xu Wu stepped forward, pulled Sister Xing next to the dog, aimed his big hand directly at Samoyed's head, pulled down hard, and pressed its head on the medical bed. The other hand controlled Samoyed's body and kept him from moving.
Although Sister Xing was taken aback, she was experienced after all, and quickly controlled her emotions, and when Xu Wu tried her best to control the Samoyed, she took out a muzzle and immediately put it on the dog's mouth.
"Whew, whew. Samoyed kept moving, trying to break away from Xu Wu's hand.
It wasn't until the dog was immobilized that Xu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Samoyed's head, which was constantly struggling.
"Xiao Wu, I can't see that you are quite strong. Thanks, please eat at noon. Sister Xing pinched Xu Wu's arm and said with some excitement.
Xu Wu looked at his arm thoughtfully, and only now did he really know that he seemed to have really changed something. Ever since he came back from the island last time, he had a vague feeling as if he was much better.
When I walked to buy lunch before, I already felt that the speed and durability of running were much better than before.
I just didn't think much of it at the time, and now it seems that my previous experience must have strengthened my body. I just don't know if it's caused by teleportation or if it's caused by actions on the island.
Xu Wu waved his hand, came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, you should do it, you don't need to invite me to dinner." ”
"Okay, don't be polite to me, or do you think my medical expenses are not worth the cost of a meal?" Sister Xing injected anesthetic into Samoyed's body, little by little to soothe the dog who was struggling because of the pain.
"The owner of this Satsuma doesn't know who it is, but he let his dog hurt so badly. Sister Xing unwrapped the bandage on Samoyed's hind leg and took out the medicine she wanted to change and applied it.
Xu Wu didn't shirk it anymore, helping Sister Xing change the dressing for Samoyed's wound, and then consciously carried out the daily work of changing food and cleaning up excrement.
The work of a pet store is actually not as happy as ordinary people think, and taking care of small animals every day is not a simple matter. Cleaning up the excrement is basic, followed by feeding, grooming, taking the puppy for a walk and playing with them. Encountering something particularly naughty can torment you for an afternoon.
The animals in the store are basically dogs, such as fluffy Chow Chows, cute Shiba Inu, and small and cute Curly Bichon dogs. But it's not that there are no other animals, just near the door, there is a pair of small and cute rabbits, when he first saw it, Xu Wu remembered the agreement between him and his sister.
and his friendly conversation with his mother last night.
"Mom, I want to raise a rabbit. In the chat after the meal, Xu Wu threw this sentence out in a flat tone, as if he was saying that he was going out to buy a bottle of soy sauce.
Mother Xu put down the chopsticks in her hand, glanced at Xu Wu, and asked, "What is the reason?"
Xu Wu, who had thought about it for a long time, naturally blurted out: "Study the living habits of rabbits, and raise a rabbit to facilitate close observation." ”
"Is this your high school vacation homework or junior high school practice?" Xu Ma replied to him without eating his set, questioning the authenticity of his words.
Xu Wu, who had a plan in his heart, was naturally not afraid, and said with a natural expression: "It is a topic arranged by our teacher, and I am a participant." ”
"As far as I know, your school has a farm. Isn't the study of rabbits' living habits better observed under natural conditions?What's the difference between keeping a pet at home?And what topics are you involved in after you graduate?" Xu Ma directly launched a strong attack on the loopholes in Xu Wu's words, and did not intend to back down at all.
"There are control groups and test groups. I raised rabbits at home is actually one of the experimental groups, and the behavior and habits of rabbits are different from those of naturally raised rabbits. Xu Wu glanced at Xu Yao, who was watching the play on the side, and secretly complained in his heart, dead girl, I have made up your rabbit to such a point, you won't say a word.
Mother Xu hesitated, her son said it so seriously, it felt like it was true. I just suddenly saw Xu Wu glaring at Xu Yao, and suddenly understood. said with a smile on his face: "Mom, it's not an unreasonable person, you give me your instructor's phone number, and I will approve your adoption after I confirm it." ”
The weakness was hit by a blow, Xu Wu took a deep breath, raised his head, looked into his mother's eyes and said, "Mom, let's spread it out." If you don't raise rabbits for me, you dislike rabbit feces and hair, and bite indiscriminately, right? ”
Mother Xu smiled brighter and said, "That's right, why bother talking to my mother and going around in circles." Raising rabbits, do you think that's the only thing you say? The cost of rations, the cost of vaccines, you have enough time to spend with it? Can you take responsibility for a life?"
Speaking of this, he paused suddenly, glanced at Xu Yao meaningfully, and continued to add: "Even if you are ready to take charge of a life, is your sister also ready?"
Xu Yao rubbed her fingers a little embarrassed, and said to her mother: "Mom, I want to raise it, I will be responsible for it." ”
"Yes? That's what you said when you raised koi, but what happened to you? Because you didn't feed it for several days, and finally it was dying and released, didn't you? Who shoveled feces and fed the rabbits we raised every day? Are you and your brother and me? It's not me and your dad who can do it. You can be in charge of it now, and you can't keep it at home unless your rabbit doesn't bite furniture and defecate everywhere. "Mother Xu is very resolute, but she doesn't give it.
The more Xu Yao listened, her face became more and more bad, she made a grimace at her mother, and ran back to the room: "Mom, the rabbit you said only exists in fairy tales." I don't raise it at home, I raised it myself when I was in college. ”
Wu Ying said to Xu Yao's back: "You like to raise whatever you like to raise in college, but you earn back the money for raising rabbits." Also, you have to ask your roommate if you agree, do you know?"
"Got it!" A shout came from Xu Yao's room, and Wu Ying shook his head with a smile.
"This girl is getting wilder and wilder. ”
Dad Xu walked out of the kitchen, wiped his hands on his apron, and said, "It's not what you're used to." ”
Wu Ying took off her apron for Xu's father and replied: "Don't forget, you said that your daughter wanted to be rich." ”
......
Rabbits that don't shed hair, grind their teeth on furniture, and defecate in the open really only exist in fairy tales?
Xu Wu combed the hair of the Shiba Inu all the time, thinking about this question.
If it's a rabbit with the intelligence of a seven- or eight-year-old child, it shouldn't be difficult to teach it to go to the bathroom.
The problem of shedding is unavoidable, but if the rabbit's hair grows to a certain length, it seems that it can reduce the trouble of shearing.
Teeth grinding problems can reduce the growth rate of the rabbit's teeth, so that it is not easy to grind the teeth. And if it's really smart, you can just let it fix it and find something to grind your teeth.
This kind of rabbit that only exists in fantasy, can he let it be projected into reality?
Can his island do it?
Gene regulation, transmission reversal. Can the two be combined?
Xu Wu walked out of the room with the Shiba Inu in his arms, ready to let it go back to the store's exhibition room.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice: "Meng Meng, you say, is it good for me to buy one of these rabbits in college? It's so cute, it's soft." ”
Xu Wu looked at the door of the store and found that Xu Yao and her friends were watching the outermost pair of rabbits, talking excitedly.
Looking at Xu Yao's focused eyes, the longing that appeared all over his body, Xu Wu secretly sighed: Yaoyao really likes it. Give it a try. The rabbit of fantasy is unique.
Xu Wu's fist subconsciously tightened, decided, do!
