"Wei...Venilla." The girl answered cautiously.
"Why did you run away suddenly?"
"Because... they said... there is always no way in or out of Shangcheng..."
"Then don't you know that you will die if you run away?"
"I, I didn't think so much..."
Xia Ye looked at Venila's neck. There was a long cut on the fair neck. It was cut when Xiuji forcibly pulled off the collar. Although no major blood vessels were cut, the blood still continued to flow. .
However, Xia Ye had no interest in treating her injuries. She waved to the guard in the distance, who immediately ran over respectfully.
"Take her to stop the bleeding, and then send her to the ship. Don't let her escape this time... or die." Xia Ye said in an unquestionable tone.
"yes!"
The two guards responded energetically and grabbed both of Venilla's arms respectively.
"I, I...I don't want..."
Venila was about to cry again.
"Listen-" Xia Ye came closer, reached out and patted her cheek, "You're not going to die."
The girl was stared at by her and immediately did not dare to cry anymore.
"Because you were supposed to die just now, little pet, but you were saved by me who was kind and kind, so your life belongs to me, so you won't die next." Xia Ye said.
Even though it was logic that made no sense, Venela believed her words.
The girl nodded obediently, and then was pulled away.
"Um..." After taking a few steps, Venila suddenly said, "Can I know your name?"
"Of course not."
After Xia Ye finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards Luka without looking behind her.
…
"You actually saved her," Luka said.
"I didn't save her, it was you."
Although standing next to Luka, Xia Ye still looked away, obviously still concerned about what just happened.
"I originally planned to blow her away, but who knew you actually wanted to destroy the collar, so I took advantage of the situation and helped you."
"..."
"Speaking of which, why is that collar so powerful? It's like a bomb. Aren't you afraid of accidentally injuring others? If I were to design it, it would be powerful enough to break a neck." Xia Ye asked again.
"Because it's cheaper."
"Um?"
"The collar around the pet's neck uses a level 1 'explosion' contract, which is engraved on the collar through the ability provided by the 'engraving' contract. Each time a level 1 'explosion' is signed, it only costs 20 moles, and this is already It is the least powerful among the "explosion" contracts.
"If you still want to be less powerful, for example, just like you said, just break the neck, you must use another contract "directional blasting", but the level 1 "directional blasting" requires 22 moles, and in order to ensure that it will be worn If someone is killed by explosion, at least two Level 1 "Directed Explosions" must be engraved on each collar, which means that the cost is 44 moles, which is more than twice the cost of using the "Explosion" contract."
"...Listening to what you said, it seems quite reasonable." Xia Ye thought for a while and then asked: "But aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting other people? For example, other pets?"
"Because in the eyes of pet buyers, pets are inherently consumables, and the price of some discounted pets is even less expensive than a collar."
"But... it's also possible to injure their owners?"
"Those people in the upper city have signed at least one protective contract. This small explosion cannot hurt them. In the same way, people in the middle city who can afford pets are not too poor, and they usually carry protective contracts with them. "
"But there are always pet buyers who don't bring protective contracts, right?" Xia Ye continued to ask unwillingly.
"Yes." Luka nodded lightly, "In that case, they will set the collar on the pet to be detonated manually, so that even if the pet resists, they can wait until they will not accidentally hurt themselves before detonating the collar."
Xia Ye: "......Ah, it took off."
In the square, the aerospace boat filled with pets slowly left the ground and flew towards the uptown area driven by the propeller. Xia Ye's eyes chased it. After a while, he turned to Luka and said: "It's time for me to go back. Thank you for taking me to see the pets today."
"Okay." Luka said, took out a piece of note paper from his pocket and handed it to Xia Ye.
"This is the meeting place tomorrow."
"Okay, then, see you tomorrow morning."
"meet tomorrow."
…
Xia Ye rode a rented broom and flew all the way back to Lilian's house. Although the traffic was not peak at noon, the return trip still took almost an hour, and the little butt was inevitably tortured again.
In the afternoon, I must buy a broom that is super comfortable to sit on! ! Xia Ye once again swore in her heart.
…
"I'm back."
"Welcome back, sister Xia Ye, lunch is ready."
"I can already smell the aroma. What's for lunch today?"
“Whale steak pan-fried with insect scale powder and served with potato puree.”
Probably similar to black pepper fried steak with mashed potatoes... Xia Ye thought silently. After eating a few meals cooked by Lilian, she already had a general understanding of the various ingredients used in cooking in this world.
…
"After I finished chatting with Luka in the morning, I asked her to take me to see the pets."
Xia Ye said casually during the chat during the meal.
"That's it..."
Lilian responded, and after a few seconds, she suddenly reacted:
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhh?!!"
"S-So, does Sister Xia Ye already know what a pet is?"
"Of course." Xia Ye said while cutting a medium-rare whale steak with a table knife: "The street we went to was full of all kinds of pet shops. I visited several, and then I happened to encounter a transport ship. The pet was being transported uptown, so I went over to take a look.”
She didn't mention that she saved a pet, and certainly didn't mention "healing" Luka.
After hearing this, Lillian said a long "Oh..." and asked again: "What do you think of Sister Xia Ye?"
"The overall quality is pretty good, especially the batch shipped to Shangcheng District, which is quite beautiful. But..."
"but?"
"But compared to Lilian, it's still a little worse."
"Hmph, I'm not a pet." Lilian puffed her cheeks in protest.
But Xia Ye didn't answer, just looked at her and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
…
"Compulsory flight insurance, broom insurance, discount gift package, plus the price of the broom itself, the total is 3424 moles." In the broom shop, the handsome and well-dressed sales manager took out the crystal ball and calculated for a while, then asked Xia Ye A final quote was given.
This is the BRM broom specialty store in the middle area. Since Xia Ye asked to buy a broom that was "super comfortable to sit on and fly fast at the same time... but the most important thing is to be comfortable," Lillian took her here.
The BRM430 broom is the latest product launched by BRM this year. BRM's full name is "Bavalia Magic Drive Core Manufacturing Co., Ltd.". It is one of the most famous broom manufacturers in Debsotta. The brooms it produces are of high quality and of course are quite expensive.
