My beast taming system has absolutely no problems!

Although the previous owner had 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in savings, it was clearly not enough.

Do we really have to mortgage the pet shop to get a bank loan?

As we all know, opening a store is very risky.

High costs and slow payment cycles.

If a business fails, the most likely outcome is that the person will shoot a short video with the caption, "Let's say goodbye properly."

Incidentally, there's a very small chance that Xia Yu is unwilling to give up and wants to continue struggling.

Then, I connected with a live streamer who said, "Come on, let's do a 360-degree spin around and take a look at the business district."

In short, running this pet shop well is as difficult as being able to fly but not being able to.

Just as Xia Yu was considering whether to rent out this well-located shop,

A cold, emotionless voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

[System loading complete...]

Xia Yu was overjoyed.

Brother Tongzi came to my rescue!

I knew it! The last step that was missing—the protagonist's treatment—would definitely be made up for!

Ignore the voice in my head and continue broadcasting.

[Your current identity has been detected. The Pokémon Training Center system is at your service...]

Hey~ Brother Tong is so thoughtful, he even knows how to tailor his teaching to individual students and local conditions...

Cloth!

Xia Yu was stunned after hearing the whole sentence.

Pokémon breeding center... what the heck is that?

Am I wearing the Beast Taming World costume?

Xia Yu subconsciously looked up ahead, wanting to confirm whether the beast in front of him was Lady Snow Spirit or Gardevoir.

Ignoring the host's complaints, Brother Tongzi continued reading.

[Please confirm whether you wish to bind "MewMew Pokémon Breeding House" as the business entity?]

No, even though you're Brother Tongzi, please show some respect for my businesses.

It's called "Miaomiao Pet House"!

Pets, understand?

[Please bind as soon as possible, 10...9...8...]

Xia Yu: "......"

To be honest, he had read a lot of online novels, but he had never seen such an abstract system before.

It's one thing to call the Beast Taming World the Pokémon World, but to have such a big temper is another.

Xia Yu dared not gamble on whether the system would revert to the proper "Pet House System" after the countdown ended, or simply uninstall it.

He felt that given Tongzi's stubbornness, it was most likely the latter.

Forget it, the system's idiotic, I can't just become idiotic along with it...

Looking at it from another perspective, the world itself contains thousands upon thousands of secret realms of varying sizes.

What if one of the undiscovered secret realms leads to the Pokémon world, and Pokémon happens to travel from there?

After forcing himself to find a reasonable explanation, Xia Yu replied in his mind: "Bound!"

【5...4...Binding successful!】

As soon as the voice fell, a light blue virtual panel appeared in front of Xia Yu.

[Host: Xia Yu]

[Farming House: Mew Mew Pokémon Farming House]

【...】

A series of messages came into view.

The data, which was either 1 or 0, almost made Xia Yu think he had accidentally wandered into Chengdu.

However, this classic "superstar start" couldn't defeat him.

Everything is difficult at the beginning!

As for the difficulties in the middle and the ending... well, you have to get through that stage yourself, right?

"So, Brother Tong, where's my newbie gift pack?"

In our current impoverished and heavily indebted state, if the system's only purpose is to provide a panel that currently serves no real function...

Xia Yu really didn't want to play anymore.

At worst, we can just restart in the Pokémon world and reunite with Unicorn there.

Fortunately, despite his stubbornness, Tongzi is still somewhat capable of communication.

The virtual panel in front of Xia Yu changed, instantly jumping to another interface.

[New Player Task: Preparing for Opening!]

Xia Yu: "......"

So they're skipping the newbie gift pack and just giving out quests?

How can you expect a horse to run without giving it grass? Brother Tong, you should at least give me some grass!

Tongzi remained silent.

Xia Yu sighed inwardly once again.

Okay, we can communicate, but not entirely.

Left with no other option, Xia Yu could only start reading the mission description.

[Mission Description: By chance, you inherited a Pokémon breeding center left by your great-aunt in the Kanto region, but the situation is dire. The breeding center has been abandoned for a long time and is in dire need of rebuilding. Only Gardevoir, left by your great-aunt, can assist you, but it seems to disapprove of you now...]

[Mission Objective: Defeat Gardevoir!]

[Mission Rewards: New Player Gift Pack *1, Pocoby Lucky Wheel Spin Attempt *1!]

Chapter 2 Humans cannot, at least not, treat their pets...

Xia Yu was stunned.

What does it mean to "strategize against Gardevoir"?

Brother Tong, are you thinking clearly?

There's no Gardevoir in this room!

After issuing the task, Tongzi remained silent and fell into complete silence.

Xia Yu: "......"

Okay, let's just pretend that the Snow Spirit Lady in front of us has been mistaken for Gardevoir by Brother Tongzi.

But even in the Pokémon world, trying to defeat Gardevoir... doesn't seem quite right, does it?

Humans shouldn't, and at least shouldn't, treat their pets improperly!

Xia Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

From another perspective, perhaps the so-called "strategy" was simply to gain Lady Snow Spirit's trust.

In short, now that the task has been issued, Xia Yu will definitely have to find a way to complete it.

Try this approach first. If that doesn't work...

Then we can only assume that this stupid system doesn't exist.

Pulling his thoughts back to reality, Xia Yu's consciousness returned.

Before her eyes, Madam Xueling was still in low spirits, and the indifferent and aloof aura she exuded seemed to isolate her from the outside world.

Xia Yu's heart softened.

Even without this task issued by the system, he felt he would still want to pull Lady Xue Ling out of her emotional quagmire.

Xia Yu said softly, "Aunt Xue, although my great-aunt is no longer here, I will take good care of you and the pet house."

This was how the original owner of the body addressed Lady Xue Ling in his memory, and Xia Yu naturally inherited it.

This is perfect for the current situation.

But as soon as he said it, he had second thoughts.

This sounds so much like a line from a storyline I skipped over back in the day.

Lady Xueling didn't think that much about it.

But this name vaguely reminded it of that hot summer when it was coaxing Xia Yu to take a nap.

That little guy has grown up and is now the adult who has to shoulder the responsibility of this pet house...
