Zhang Xiaoman's first thought was to open a pet hospital, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that this idea could not withstand scrutiny.
Although his current ability is very suitable for pet medical care, it is still unrealistic for Zhang Xiaoman, a pure layman, to get involved in this industry.
For one thing, he has no veterinary skills, and even though he can understand the sounds of cats and dogs, he cannot treat them. Secondly, opening a pet hospital requires a large upfront investment, and the revenue cycle is also slow.
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of rent for the store, just the long renovation and cost recovery. By the time he can make money from this, I am afraid that he will have already gone to heaven and earth through the system.
At that time, there would be no need for the income from the pet hospital. It was impossible for him to stay in the store all day long to treat pets. After all, he felt that he should not be the protagonist of a daily novel.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoman found that his ability seemed to be that he could only understand what the animals wanted to express, but he could not understand what they were saying.
This sentence may seem a bit contradictory, but it is actually easy to understand.
Animals actually have no language. Their calls can only express their emotions and cannot express specific meanings like humans.
In addition, animals have limited intelligence, and most of their expressions are from their own point of view, so the ideas that can be expressed will be very single and vague, and sometimes it will even make people confused about what they mean.
For example, his own dog called the little flower "hairball", or when Zhang Xiaoman was setting up a stall, he heard a local dog on the roadside calling a car "monster". These are all interpretations born from their perspective and understanding.
Therefore, although Zhang Xiaoman's ability seems outrageous at first glance, for now, its practicality in animals is not as great as imagined, let alone relying on it to quickly accumulate funds.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but look up at the yellow native dog lying on the ground and taking a nap across the road. Just now, this guy suddenly shouted "There is a monster! There is a monster!", which frightened Zhang Xiaoman who was still busy making sushi. I almost went straight back to the city by grinding the hearth stone.
"I really hope I can draw a piece of gold next time."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had owned the system for many days, and had obtained several extraordinary props and abilities, but he still could not find a way to effectively improve the quality of life.
"Should I find a rich man, tell him that there are actually monsters in this world, and then sell him a bottle of holy water for 108,000?" Zhang Xiaoman secretly considered the feasibility of doing this.
"Well, I'm afraid it will end badly..."
…
In the afternoon, a few dark clouds came and covered the sky above the old city, allowing the busy people below to experience the coolness of summer for a rare occasion.
Zhang Xiaoman is also in a very happy mood. It may be because of the weekend. His sales volume today is much higher than before.
Looking at the newly received several hundred dollars in his wallet, Zhang Xiaoman felt happy.
Although the money has not yet deducted costs, the feeling of working for himself and making money makes him very motivated.
Looking at the time, it was almost evening, and some office workers who were on shift or on duty were about to get off work. Zhang Xiaoman felt that his performance today would be greatly improved.
"Spirit-absorbing magic!"
Zhang Xiaoman silently activated the skill in his heart, this time the target was a small tree not far behind him.
"Still no response..." Not feeling any feedback, he shook his head in disappointment.
Over the past few days, every time he had free time, Zhang Xiaoman would use this only active skill he had on the surrounding environment.
Although he has not successfully released it once, Zhang Xiaoman has been trying happily with the mentality that it is not consumed or used in vain.
During this period, he even thought of going to the jade and antique market to use the skills from the novel to see if they would work.
But what made him extremely depressed was that in a third-tier city like Qionghua City, there were no such two legendary places.
But so far, Zhang Xiaoman has not used it on anyone else. The most he has ever used is on a passing mouse. But unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoman still couldn't feel any response to these living creatures.
The skill entered the cooling time, and Zhang Xiaoman sighed depressingly. He thought he had picked up a powerful active skill, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a useless skill that he couldn't find a use for.
"There's a monster! There's a monster!"
Across the road, the yellow native dog barked again.
Zhang Xiaoman calmly continued playing with his phone, too lazy to look up again.
Needless to say, another car must have passed by. He had heard the silly dog opposite shouting "monster" a dozen times this afternoon.
"Master!? Master!?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Xiaoman raised his head when he heard the sound, but was startled.
He saw three people in black suits standing next to his stall. There was also a luxury car parked next to them. Zhang Xiaoman couldn't see its specific model, but he only recognized that it should be a Bentley.
"What the hell is this, filming Black Empire?"
"Master, we finally found you! Our boss asked you to go to Suzhuang by name and ask you to help with the rituals. Please come with us!" said the leader in a black suit.
Zhang Xiaoman is confused, why do you call me master? Why have you all called me master in the past few days?
Also, what's going on with the French formula? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it?
Seeing his confused look, the man in the black suit said anxiously: "Master, don't be stunned, hurry up and get in the car with us. Aren't you going to do any business delivered to our door?"
"No, no, wait a minute, what are you here for? To buy sushi? I know my sushi is delicious, but there's no need to make it fresh at home, right? And it also has to be French style. I only listen to sushi. I said Japanese style, but I can’t make French style!”
Zhang Xiaoman felt that these people were confused.
The black suit looked at him with an expression like "What are you talking about?" Then he pointed to the side of the car and asked, "Aren't you Master Pei Banxian?"
Zhang Xiaoman walked over and took a look in confusion, then slapped his forehead and finally figured out why the customers had been calling him the master in the past two days.
It turned out that on the side of his stall, because he had no money to make a new sign, the old sign Liu Ye used was still posted, and there were five big characters written on it:
"Pei Banxian tells fortunes!"
Below is a line of small print:
"Bagua test, predict Feng Shui, catch demons and drive them away, membership is 20% off."
There is also a line of smaller words at the bottom:
"Write homework for fifth grade and below, recharge mobile phone bills, change names, apply for fake certificates, repair faucets, clear sewers, repair tires, unlock doors, treat onychomycosis, wash cats, wash dogs, paint walls, poison rats, and water regularly Flowers, weeding, babysitting..."
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes twitched when he saw this.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Liu is quite wild this way..."
