Mu You feels that this is still very possible. Maybe he can try to look for it when he gets into the game at noon.
Just then, there was a knock on the door upstairs.
Mu You went to open the door and saw that it was Xiaoya standing at the door.
Xiaoya was dressed casually, with a bag on her shoulder and a half-eaten bun in her hand.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Mu You with dark circles on her face again. She instinctively wanted to say something, but she immediately smelled something. She sniffed and said strangely: "Boss, are you tired?" Did you take Chinese medicine?"
"I've had something to eat..."
Mu You was embarrassed. Is the smell really that obvious?
"By the way, didn't I tell you that you don't have to go to work today? Why are you still here?" Mu You looked at her strangely.
"Oh, Sister Xue sent a car to take me back this morning. I saw that I had nothing to do when I got home, so I stopped by to take a look."
As Xiaoya said, she remembered something, quickly finished off the buns in her hand, and suddenly said: "By the way, boss, let me show you something fun!"
"What?" Mu You was stunned.
"You'll know when you see it!"
Xiaoya rushed into the store with her bag, walked to the table in the guest rest area, and took out a glass bottle from her bag.
Mu You saw clearly that there was a dark green mantis sealed in the bottle.
"When I returned to the community in the morning, I encountered this in the green belt. It was resting on the grass. I touched it without seeing it and was bitten by it. But the strange thing is that it later It just kept following me wherever I went, and finally it followed me to my house. I was a little scared, so I put it in a bottle."
After Xiaoya explained, she hurriedly handed the bottle to Muyou: "Boss, look at it, what is this and why is it following me?"
"This is……"
When Mu You saw the mantis clearly, his pupils shrank for a while, because he actually felt a very clear wave of magic power on the mantis!
Obviously, this is no ordinary praying mantis, but a magical creature!
"Huh? This is Thunder Mantis!"
At this moment, Coke jumped on the table. After seeing the creature in the bottle, a surprised voice sounded in Muyou's mind.
"What is Thunder Mantis?" Mu You asked it in a low voice.
"Thunder Mantis is a natural insect hunter. Its sword is extremely sharp and extremely fast. It also has the ability to fire small thunder arcs. It is the natural enemy of all kinds of insect monsters. The insect monsters it targets can basically not escape. You have to lose it." Coke said.
"so smart?"
Mu You looked at the mantis in the bottle and found a faint dark red mark on its forehead.
Mu You is very familiar with this mark, because the little spider in his backpack also has an exact mark on his head - this is the contract seal.
Mu You immediately looked at Xiaoya: "Did Xiaoya get bitten by it and bleed?"
"Huh? That's right."
Xiaoya stretched out her right hand and showed the band-aid on her index finger: "It was just a small bite, nothing serious."
"I see."
Mu You already understood everything. It was obvious that this mantis was one of the creatures that fell to the earth in yesterday's biological outbreak. However, it appeared in a slightly off-center position and was not caught by the player. Instead, it was accidentally hit by Xiaoya. Under the contract, he became a familiar...
Thinking of this, Mu You looked at Xiaoya with envy: "Congratulations, Xiaoya, this is called Thunder Mantis, a very rare magical creature."
"Magical creatures? Boss, what are you talking about?" Xiaoya looked confused.
Mu You shook his head without explaining, but handed the bottle to her: "You should let it out first. If you keep it closed for a long time, it may become damaged."
"Let it out? But... what if it bites me again?" Xiaoya was still a little frightened when she thought of what she had just experienced. She had never seen a bug that followed her home as if it were intelligent.
"Don't worry, it follows you because it has recognized you as its master. It will not bite you again, and will even protect you when it encounters danger." Mu You said with a smile.
"Recognize your master? Protect me?"
Xiaoya looked at Mu You with an even weirder expression, wanting to ask her boss if he had read too many novels.
But she still opened the bottle cap obediently.
As a result, the next second, the mantis emerged from the gap with extraordinary agility and quickly climbed onto the back of her hand.
"ah……"
Xiaoya's hand shook and she almost dropped the bottle. She was about to scream, but she was quickly stunned.
Sure enough, as Mu You said, the praying mantis did not attack her after crawling out. Instead, it curled up on the back of her hand and rubbed its head against her clothes, looking cute.
"Huh? You really won't bite me!"
Xiaoya seemed to have discovered a new world. She stretched out her other hand to tease the mantis. The mantis also played around her fingers very cooperatively, but no matter how she moved, she paid great attention to tightening the fingers on her two front paws. Mantis knife to avoid cutting the owner.
"Boss, look, it's amazing! How can there be such a smart creature!"
Xiaoya was so excited that her evaluation of Mantis suddenly changed from 'dangerous and scary' to 'smart and cute'.
"Boss, what does it eat and drink? How should I feed it?" After coming back to her senses, Xiaoya hurriedly asked for advice.
She had decided to keep the little creature as a pet.
Mu You said with a smile: "Go to the store and find a breathable resin box with a mouth, make a nest for it, put it in your bag, and let it follow you around. Don't worry about food, it will go out and find it on its own when it is hungry. Food.”
"oh oh."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoya quickly put the mantis back on the table and ran to the pet supplies section to find materials for it to build a nest.
Mu You only had time to sit down and observe Thunder Mantis carefully.
Mantis is very close to Xiaoya, but is not so good-tempered towards others.
Looking at Mu You and Ke Ke who were approaching in front of them, it slightly raised the sharp blade on its claws, stood upright, and spread its wings in an attacking posture.
"hiss!"
As a cat, Cola couldn't stand such a provocation. He immediately breathed at the mantis and raised his paw to shoot a lightning triple shot.
As a result, the mantis reacted very quickly and jumped a few times to dodge all its slaps. At the same time, the two mantis blades collided and created an electric spark, which directly hit the fleshy ball on Coke's claws.
Cola was suddenly electrified, and his body twitched. He instinctively took two steps back. He glared at the mantis fiercely, huffing and puffing, but he did not dare to step forward any more.
Immediately afterwards, it felt the disdainful gaze from the side, and hurriedly defended Muyou: "Just a little mantis like this, if it were me before, I wouldn't be able to kill ten of them!"
"You are quite self-aware and know how to add 'the old you.'"
Mu You glanced at it funny.
Ever since this guy came to the pet store, he has been provided with unlimited amounts of cat food every day. He eats and sleeps, eats while sleeping, and just lies in bed and watches anime all day long. It's a perfect abandoned house mode.
Under this indulgent life, its body shape also changes rapidly. It had only been less than a month, and the slim and muscular short-haired cat had disappeared, replaced by a fat cat that had obviously gained weight. Those who didn't know it thought it was an orange cat from a certain company that had been dyed.
If things continue like this, Mu You doubts whether his original owner will be able to recognize him when he meets him in the future.
