Pet King

Chapter 976: A Shocking Blow

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

An outstanding agent might not have been able to become a famous general, but a famous general could not replace an outstanding agent. The famous general might have even been assassinated by the outstanding agent... Everyone had their own suitable job position, and it was the same for an elfin.

Old Time Tea was like an agent. It was good in one-on-one fights, its own skill was unbeatable, and Vladimir seemed to have a leader’s charisma. It had the ability to be a leader.

It was also strange to think about it. Even though its words seemed very wild, its confidence had affected Zhang Zian and the elfins, making them lose their fear of the Holy Cat Statue.

“What you said is right. We should have loathed it from the strategy, and value it from its tactics. It was originally just a piece of old copper and metal, nothing to fear,” Zhang Zian said, encouraging himself at the same time.

“So I don’t need to sit here and waste time! We can hurriedly end this whole situation. Let the cats that have suffered so much be freed!” Vladimir hurried them.

Zhang Zian nodded and said, “We also want to quickly end this whole situation, and we do need your help; however, there’s a problem... You might not be able to leave at the moment, so this situation cannot be hurried.”

“I can’t leave this place? Why? Could it be that I’m under house arrest?” Vladimir looked outside the window.

“No, it’s not house arrest... It’s a problem with the setting of the game,” Zhang Zian tried his best to explain. “Because of some reasons, the elfins cannot leave immediately after they arrive at the pet shop. You have to wait a while.”

“Who said that?” Vladimir asked.

“The Navigation Elfin said it––the game said it.” Zhang Zian spread out his hands. “And the other elfins were all like that... except for Famous.”

Famous in the Imagined World was like Galaxy. It had gone through a lot of reincarnation cycles and had learned how to do short distance teleportation. Only because of that could it leave the pet shop right after it had arrived. However, it had only succeeded in that after quite a bit of trying. It had hit its head quite a few times, and its nose had been hit until it almost got a nosebleed.

According to Zhang Zian’s observations, Vladimir’s body was just more nimble. It obviously did not have a short distance teleportation ability. How could it randomly leave?

Actually, the more accurate way of saying it was that it was not such a low-level phrase like short distance teleportation. Instead it was an observation of the state and contraction. It was just that it was easier to understand the phrase short distance teleportation.

Galaxy was able to leave if it wanted to, but it had never wanted to leave the pet shop and hence had never tried. Fina had always called the shop its sacred palace and did not have any intentions of leaving. Old Time Tea deeply understood the word “tolerate,” and obeyed the rules of the game. It did not try to test this rule. Snowy Lionet was fondly attached to Fina; Pi was one who really liked staying at home and did not actively want to leave the pet shop; Sihwa did want to go into the outside world... She had the heart, but did not have the legs for it...

Now that he was thinking about it, there were only two elfins that wanted to walk out of the pet shop as soon as they came: One was Famous, as it had wanted to follow Zhang Zian to the dog mart, and the second was Richard. It had wanted to go and see its previous owner... The former succeeded, but the latter failed.

When he thought about Richard, Richard appeared.

It wriggled out from below the small blanket next to the pillow, stretching out its wings. It used its bird beak to stretch its underarm, totally like a lazy, burly man who picked at his legs.

“Ga ga! You all seem to be talking about me?” it asked, shaking its head.

“Vladimir, if you don’t believe me, you can ask this parrot. Ask him how he knocked the air wall till his whole face bruised up,” Zhang Zian said.

Richard did not feel embarrassed at all, as if it what it was talking about was something that happened to someone else,

Vladimir did not let that bother it. It laughed loudly. “Haha! Don’t let your thinking be restricted by these kinds of previous experiences, dogmas, and books. The rest of the elfins could not do it, but that does not mean that I can’t do it!”

Zhang Zian was both angry and amused. He was advising him out of good will, in order to prevent it from harming its pride after hitting the air wall.

“Ga ga, since it refuses to turn back unless it hits the wall, then let it try! I want to watch the drama!” Richard urged Vladimir on, scared that there would be no drama to see.

Vladimir ignored Richard’s provocation. Instead, it seriously nodded. “I want to try! I believe that I can do it. The only word the world is scared of is ‘seriousness!\'”

Zhang Zian was helpless. Since it strongly requested to try, he decided to let it try.

He brought Vladimir downstairs, and the elfins, besides Pi and Sihwa, also went downstairs. Not all the elfins were the same as Richard, who just wanted to watch the drama unfold; it was just that after they woke up, they wanted to go downstairs.

Zhang Zian pulled open the roll-up door, then opened the floor-length door. He pointed and said, “Then you can just try, but be careful. Don’t use too much force.”

Vladimir walked out a few steps, just to test it. As expected, near the door, it knocked into an invisible door. It raised its front paw and touched around, finding it strange. It found that the invisible door totally blocked the road.

“Ga ga! Haven’t I said it already?” Richard flapped its wings, as if boasting. It flew in and out of the door, “Do you see? I can freely enter and leave. Aren’t you jealous?”

Vladimir did not say anything, but it also did not give up because of that. Instead, it jumped one step forward to try again. No matter how high it jumped, the invisible wall was blocking in front of it like a tiger blocking the road.

“Do you want to see if you can jump out from the window?” Zhang Zian knew that it was unsatisfied with failing, so he opened the window for it.

Richard flew to the windowsill again, calling out, “I’ve already tried to convince you not to try. This is just embarrassing yourself!”

Vladimir didn’t say anything. It tried to jump out of the window, but its head hit the invisible wall with a loud knocking sound, causing it to fly backward.

That time it had hit it quite hard. It staggered a few steps backward, almost losing its balance, then raised its paw to rub its forehead.

“Just let it be. Stop trying. Even if it’s a war, there’s no rush. We still have a long time.” Zhang Zian admired its courage, but some things would not be solved just using courage.

Fina also tried to convince it and said, “Everyone has something that they are good at and not good at. There’s no need to forcefully do things. Mine was actually coincidental...”

Vladimir knew that they were trying to encourage it, but it still persevered and shook his head. “God d*mn, I don’t believe in this kind of occult!”

It returned to the door again, staring at the position of the invisible wall. Its green eyes with gold lining suddenly shot out burning flames of anger!

Hu—

This time, it did not choose to jump up into it. Instead, it took a deep breath, raised a front paw, and clenched it tightly. It suddenly, loudly, called out, “Take my move. Meow Meow Doctrine Iron Fist!”

After that, it used its full strength to punch the air wall!
