Chapter 107: Meeting a stray dog.
Mei Mei’s flying car entering The Hollow when the press conference came to an end. Like many around the empire, she was stunned, shaken by the events like a tree in wind storm. Whose idea had it been to award Wu Tangning?
"Your family likes to do splashy things." C4 commented.
"Go big or go home. That is my mother’s daily slogan." She answered.
Every party her mother planned, every business she started, every outfit she wore. They had to be the best in various ways.
"Speaking of big things....." C4 said slowly, prolonging his last words.
[The best camp in the world cannot have a small forest.
Mission: Plant five thousand trees in seven days.]
"A mission that is not related to Mo Jingzhe!! When did this start?" she asked. She was even quick to notice that there was no reward or failure. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, the system sent what was missing.
[Reward: Blind box
Failure: The sleeping pods will be taken back from you.]
"Tch! you really play hard ball. What is a blind box?"
"It is a sealed package containing a mystery item. You don’t know what reward you will be receiving. It could be super technology or a child’s toy." The little fox spread its arms out and deepened its voice, making it whisper like with a dramatic hiss, "Who knows? Its a mystery of the universe."
The plan to plant trees had already been on her to do list. Although, she was initially going to plant two hundred trees, maximum. The system had increased the number and brought up the schedule.
Buying trees took money, as did hiring the humans that would be planting them. She could not risk using robot butlers outside.
"Can I buy the trees in the system mall?" she asked.
C4 did not waste her time, he presented the section of the mall with available trees, flowers, seeds and herbs for sale. Trees and their characteristics were listed clearly.
Lumora trees which could glow, Nebulark trees that had swirling branches, Voidwood pines that absorbed starlight energy to grow. Ironbark trees which had metallic barks. Solar Baobabs whose vines grew so tall that they stretched towards the sun.
Fifty tree species were available for sale and she wanted almost none. How would she explain to people about where she had found a Solar Baobab tree or an Ironbark tree?
"Do you want baby trees or adult trees?"
"I want trees that won’t have me sent to a lab to be dissected for information." she replied.
"I will choose those that come as close to ordinary as possible." C4 said.
"Thank you. Buy some bamboo and stick to no more than three thousand points."
C4 rolled his eyes.
"I saw that." she said.
"You were meant to." It replied.
Mei Mei diverted the flying car to the government office, she needed to find some workers that would plant the trees.
The office was much different now from the last time she had been there. For starters, there were more people inside that were waiting to be helped. Secondly, all the employee booths were full.
"Miss Jun Meilin!" The same young woman she had met the last time she had been there saw her and eagerly waved for her to come over. "Miss Jun, what brings you to the office? Do you need to expand the camp so soon?"
"I need some workers, twenty of them to help me plant some trees. I will pay five hundred yuan per day and provide food and transportation." She answered.
"Leave it to me." The woman answered, pushing her head forward with an eager smile on her face, she introduce her favorite subject quickly. "Miss Jun, congratulations on making up with Imperial commander Jun Mengzhi. I watched the re-union, it was so beautiful. The Imperial commander is actually a dotting brother. It seems he likes the cute type."
Another female employee walked into the booth and smiled at Mei Mei from behind the glass. "Hi, Jun Meilin. Are you two talking about the imperial commander? He is so cute...and hot. I envy you so much for being able to see him whenever you please. Is he single? What do you think of me?"
"Oh, Mingxia there is order in everything. First come, first serve." The young woman complained. She stood up, pushing her colleague out of her booth.
Mei Mei wanted to groan, loudly and tiredly. This reminded her so much of high school, girls fighting to give her love letters and gifts. Shoving and stepping on each other’s feet. It had always been hard for her to decided which girls genuinely wanted to be her friends and which ones wanted to get close to Mingzhe through her.
A middle aged man that was displeased walked up to the booth and tapped on the glass impatiently. "What is going on here? I was here before her, why is she cutting in line?"
Mei Mei backed away and smiled apologetically. "I am sorry, I was just saying hello." She looked at the young woman and said, "You have my phone number, call me with an update before lunch, please."
As she left the office, the young woman waved with a wide grin on her face. She did not hear the words update before lunch, she heard meet me for lunch.
Outside the office, Mei Mei found a security guard scaring away a dog. It was a skinny, malnourished with the ribs pressed against its skin. It’s golden brown fur was all knotted and very dirty. Houseflies were buzzing around it’s eyes.
No matter how much the security guard tried to chase it away, it just whined and refused to leave.
"System, give me a sausage."
"Tsk, tsk, you have started copying your mother." C4 said. Nevertheless, it sent a sausage to her bag.
She unwrapped it, walked towards the dog and held it out for it. The dog took took the sausage tentatively, but rather than gulping it down as expected, it run off with it.
The guard was not very pleased with what she had done. "Girl, you should not feed stray animals randomly. It will be back soon to beg for more and ruin my day. Don’t you know that stray animals are not allowed on the premises of this office?" freewёbnoνel.com
Hardly had he finished when the dog returned. It stood at a distance and whined, looking at Mei Mei. She had been around enough animals to know when one needed help. Following instinct, she walked in the direction of the dog.
When she was reaching it, it turned around and walked forward but kept looking back as if to make sure that it was being followed.
She followed it for a minute and came to the corner of an alley next to a big city garbage can. Down, next to the wheels of the garbage can was a sickly looking cat and two kittens. The sickly looking mother cat was eating the sausage she had given to the the dog.
The dog looked at the cat and whined. If she could understand animal language, Mei Mei would have heard the dog begging for help for itself and the cat.
A dog starving itself for a cat!!! "Well, this is a surprise." she commented.
