Change jobs, pet beast!

As the faint floral fragrance faded, the layout of the public bathhouse area at Jinchan Tangchi was restored to three men, one penguin, and one lizard.

Mudball: ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭*

We've been watching this gossip for ages!

Although I could only understand a tiny bit, it was really exciting!

Unfortunately, the person next to him wasn't Doggy, but a clueless idiot who couldn't communicate with anyone. All he knew was diving, swimming, and getting ashore, as if he had inexhaustible brute strength.

Water Lizard: (⩌⤚⩌)?

Have you got a meal yet?

What now?

Shouldn't we eat now?

Why haven't you eaten yet?

The owner still ignored it.

The water lizard dived into the water again, then jumped out with a splash, creating a huge spray of water.

"I almost forgot about you! Stop jumping around and talk to me, I can understand you!"

Cheng Zhengqi finally remembered that as they were chatting, it was time for dinner. No wonder Langzai was so noisy.

Poor translator, he could understand the languages ​​of other pets, but his own was a man of few words, only able to "gurgle" and blow bubbles or "slurp" and stick out his tongue—not being very smart was definitely a fatal flaw!

"Eat up, eat up, I'll give you an extra meal today."

A basket of relatively fresh dead fish was placed in front of the water lizard.

The lizard-shaped rice bowl, eaten in one bite, swelled up at an astonishing speed.

"Brother Jiang."

Having finished feeding the animals, Cheng Zhengqi wiped the water droplets that had condensed on his forehead from the mist, his eyes gleaming with a hint of excitement:

"Nai-zhu-nee is actually willing to help us!"

"With that list, we'll have a few more reliable allies!"

Jiang Mo smiled and said, "I'll leave the communication and liaison work to you. I'll take care of improving the reputation of Jin Chan's bathhouse."

"We need to hurry and take advantage of Zhao Baogang's week-long absence to break the dragon's monopoly before they have time to react."

"good!"

Cheng Zhengqi's back suddenly straightened, and all his energy was mobilized.

One person struggles to walk.

With support from others, how dare I slack off?

"I'll go find a few of my uncles first. Brother Jiang, I'll trouble you to watch the shop. Feel free to use the materials and tools in the shop; I trust you!"

Cheng Zhengqi shouted "Langzai!" and rushed out the door.

After the water lizard had eaten and drunk its fill, it saw its owner run away. Although its eyes were full of doubt, it still took its little feet and followed unconditionally.

……

"One public men's bathhouse, three private booths, one storage room, one shared toilet for humans and animals, four abandoned empty rooms... wait, why is there a bedroom? Is Cheng Zhengqi staying at the inn every day?"

With nothing to do, Jiang Mo wandered through the various sections of the connecting corridor.

He naturally wouldn't peek into the partially closed doors, but once the structural scan was activated, the general layout became clear, and he could immediately determine the purpose of the room.

"Next, let's take stock of the available spiritual materials... Niwan, do you want to help too? Then help me push that box over here."

"Nijiu Nijiu!"ヾ(≧∇≦*)ヾ

The little black mud penguin was overjoyed. Although there was no mud in this place, it was slippery and warm, which it loved.

Of course, it was even happier to be its owner's little helper. Its little wings kept flapping, and it would tiptoe and spin around from time to time, showing a naive and lively appearance.

"Cheng Zhengqi! My good brother! Help! Someone's dead!"

Suddenly, someone outside started shouting loudly.

Jiang Mo slowly stopped what he was doing, a look of doubt appearing on his face, and subconsciously listened.

"Cheng Zhengqi! Come out now! If you don't come out, I'm going in... Oh no, I can't afford to pay for your house, please come out, I'm begging you, it's an emergency..."

Jiang Mo frowned and walked straight outside.

"Cheng... Hey, who are you? Move aside, I'm looking for Cheng Zhengqi!"

Outside the Golden Toad Hot Spring, stood a rather disheveled man.

He looked like he had just been hit by a fireball; his black hair was messy and curly, the strands tangled and sticky, covered in charcoal residue.

Even more shockingly, there were no clothes on his body; he was covered from head to toe in murky, black filth.

An indescribable stench emanated from him. Jiang Mo smelled the burnt smell, the sour smell of food, and the fishy smell of seafood... His throat tightened, and he instantly felt nauseous.

"Riding the orthodox and the unorthodox!"

"The Dragon Bath won't let me bathe, so don't you, Golden Toad Bath, turn your back on me! We're not that far apart in age, I'll become sworn brothers and call you my brother... ugh! Brother! My dear brother! Father! Help!"

Ying Mu was crying his eyes out, and he was almost kneeling down.

Jiang Mo suppressed the urge to punch him, stared at the exclamation mark above his head for a while, then looked at the small trailer behind him and said:

"Since Cheng Zhengqi is not here, I am the bathhouse attendant newly hired by Jin Chan."

Ying Mu was stunned, looked Jiang Mo over again, and muttered:

"When did Golden Toad get a technician? How come I didn't know...?"

He quickly came to his senses and hastily changed his words:

That's not the point!

"My precious Rongrong is seriously injured because of my tiny bit of carelessness, little brother... Dad! Could you please give her a bath? If you don't clean off the surface poison residue, my Rongrong will die!"

[Wish Triggered: Clean up the rotten remnants and save Rongrong's life!]

Difficulty level: 1

[Comment: Days without causing trouble are too boring.]

Jiang Mo glanced at the panel, then focused his gaze on the contracted pet beast on the small trailer.

It was scorpion-shaped, 1.5 meters tall, foaming at the mouth, with its side eyes rolled back red, three legs bent unnaturally, and two legs broken—it looked about 30-40% dead.

Of course, its scorpion tail is very special. Even when it is tied with a rope, it still shakes violently and may break free at any time, which adds a touch of liveliness to its appearance.

Now let's look at the main body.

At the very top were three deep, festering wounds, all bound with blood-red bandages.

In addition, it was covered in layers of murky black mucus, like solidified poison, every inch of it was soaked in filth and evil.

Emergency bandaging?

Jiang Mo's indifference is undoubtedly one of the inherent abilities of soldiers. It may not necessarily save lives, but it is remarkably effective in dealing with minor injuries.

but……

The three ulcers clearly exceed the scope of minor trauma.

The blood-red bandages continued to corrode, with filth and toxins seeping into the flesh, making it impossible to stop the injury.

[Race]: Fat-Dissolving Scorpion (Contract)

[Bloodline Rank]: Mountain and River Beasts (Medium)

[Life Cycle]: Maturity Stage

[Attribute]: Poison

[Pet Class]: Soldier (One Star)

[Work Experience]: 72%

Jiang Mo frowned: "A fat-dissolving scorpion? How could such a poison-specialized pet be injured like this by corrosive toxins?"

"Alas, this is a long story."

Ying Mu took a step closer, and the stench from his breath immediately intensified, as he pleaded:

"Brother, can you help me with this? I'll offer 10 copper coins, a full 10 copper coins!"

Jiang Mo didn't rush to agree, but instead asked, "You just said that the dragon refused to take you in?"

Ying Mu's breath hitched, and he sighed:

"That couple was afraid I would dirty the pool, and they complained that I smelled bad and was dirty. They didn't have the courage to face any challenges; they just wanted to live a peaceful life..."

"Ying Mu?"

On the other side of the street, Cheng Zhengqi, having just finished visiting several uncles, happened to be turning back.

He noticed a commotion at the entrance of the Golden Toad Hot Spring and hurried over.

Then, upon seeing the disheveled figure confronting Jiang Mo, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but shout:

"Brother Jiang, don't be fooled by him, this person is not to be accepted!"

In an instant, Ying Mu's smile froze on his face.

After a two-second pause, she said, on the verge of tears:

"Xiao Cheng, this is an emergency! You can't just stand by and watch me die. I'm counting on you..."

"Pooh!"

Cheng Zhengqi, who was usually so good-natured, actually spat and said angrily:

"The dragon doesn't welcome you, but the golden toad does?"

"I kindly helped you last time, and what happened? I got stung by your fat-dissolving scorpion! I lost twenty pounds overnight and spent a week in bed recovering. How dare you come back?"
