The Carer of Cubs Chapter 8

The rare plant auction on Gaia was held as scheduled. All the connoisseurs from all over the interstellar region who were preparing to participate in the auction arrived on Gaia early by starship, for fear that they would be delayed by something on the way and miss the auction.

Originally, in order to add gimmicks to this auction, Soma Auction House began to spend half a month on the Star Network to promote and warm up. It didn't take long for the name of this auction to spread throughout the entire exotic plant appreciation community. circle.

If you stay in this circle and don't know about this auction, then the other party may be embarrassed to say that you are a connoisseur of rare plants.

Originally, these connoisseurs were already itching to participate in this auction, but a few days before the auction started, Soma Auction House released an official message on Youxing, saying that this This auction unexpectedly added a new treasure as the finale, and the many words of praise that followed almost boasted this treasure to the heavens.

But even if it is just a boast, the official dares to boast this final auction item like this, even if the actual object is not as good as the 70% described, it should still be 50% better.

Five points is enough to make them look forward to it - "shaped like a red lotus and colored like a jade", but seeing that the auction will only start in a few days, aren't they anxious!

The connoisseurs who came to participate in the auction can be said to have been whetted. On the day when the auction started, everyone rushed to enter the venue, hoping to see the piece that made them think about it day and night. Heaven's finale baby.

On the other hand, after successfully entrusting the pot of meat to the auction house, Finn Xie stopped paying attention to this matter and just waited to collect the money after the auction.

No matter how much money you have, it is an income. Finn Xie has already thought about it. When he gets the money, he will first go to StarNet to buy some cub toys for the cubs in the branch.

I heard that many cub care chapters will build special playgrounds for cubs. If their chapter doesn't have one, then they should at least buy some toys for the cubs.

Otherwise, these cubs usually have nothing to play with. Finn Xie is willing to play with these cubs, but he can't stay with them for too long alone, and he can't take care of so many cubs... He still has to Just buy toys.

On the second day after the auction, Soma Auction House directly sent its financial director to visit their major customers in person. He found a dilapidated cub care branch between the bustling commercial streets on both sides. The financial director stood in front of the mostly rusted iron door and almost thought he had found the wrong place.

Why would a big client stay in a place like this? ?

According to the original idea of   the auction house manager, someone who could get rid of such rare treasures should have a good background.

Although he was surprised, the financial director did not forget what he was here for today, and quickly went in to find the target of his trip.

"Hello, Mr. Xie, I am the supervisor of Soma Auction House." The supervisor politely handed a business card to the human young man in front of him. At the same time, he also handed over a dark purple crystal card. "The proceeds from the auction of the consigned items will be deducted." The amount after the 15 commission is all in this crystal card, totaling 3.06 million credit points. "

Finn Xie was about to reach out and take the two cards. Hearing this, Finn Xie was stunned and suddenly doubted his hearing, "...How much?"

"3.06 million credits." The supervisor said this carefully, trying to make the expression on his face more sincere when speaking. Could it be that the young man felt that the auction price was low and did not reach the expected amount, so he was dissatisfied?

Thinking that the human young man in front of him was the customer that the superiors were trying to win over, the manager immediately started to say nice things: "In fact, the transaction price of this consignment is already the highest among all the rare plants auctioned so far. The previous one The highest record is only 1.17 million, so it can be said that the transaction price of your consignment is unique. "

In today's interstellar era, the most valuable things at auctions and the most attractive to the majority of bidders are the auctions of rare resources and cutting-edge weapons such as new mechas. An auction item like rare plants that is only used for viewing and satisfying personal hobbies can be sold for more than three million Noah Lu, which is really a sky-high price.

If they only care about money, the auction house should collect more resources to hold popular types of auctions, but Soma Auction House is a very ambitious auction house. In addition to asking for money, the top management also focuses on fame.

After all, there are many trading planets in the interstellar world, and there are countless auction houses. If you want to stand out among the many auction houses, of course you have to establish a reputation. An auction like this one that ignited the entire exotic plant appreciation circle, and even outsiders couldn't help but join in the fun, brought considerable attention to their auction house.

After accumulating fame, wouldn't it be easy for Soma Auction House to get money again? Therefore, it is very necessary to attract customers who can sell rare items at this stage.

After confirming that he had heard correctly, Finn Xie took the two cards from the opponent's hand, scratched the dark purple crystal card with his finger, and saw the number 3060000 clearly displayed on it.

When asked how Finn Xie was feeling now, he was probably still a little confused, but he still maintained a normal expression and nodded to the person in front, saying that he was very satisfied with the transaction price.

Seeing the young man nodding, the supervisor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said cheerfully with a bit of attentiveness: "Now on Youxing, your pot of rare plants has become a hot topic. To be honest, the rare plants I have seen over the years have become a hot topic." There are many rare plants, but I have never seen such a stunningly beautiful treasure. It has fascinated many people outside the appreciation circle. "

There has even been a wave of craze about the appreciation of rare plants on Youxing since yesterday. Some people who originally did not pay attention to this circle are now a little interested.

Finn Xie nodded again with a dull face. Listening to the other party praising the succulents he raised on earth, Finn Xie's mood was very complicated at this time.

"If you have any rare items that you want to entrust for auction in the future, you may wish to consider our Soma Auction House first. In terms of commission ratio, our auction house is willing to give you a discount and only charge a service fee of 10." This is the other party The main purpose of this trip.

Finn Xie didn't refuse and replied "Yes". As soon as the others left, he turned around and went to the office, using the old optical computer to log in to his Youxing account that he had just created a few days ago.

Youxing is almost the same as Weibo on Earth. After logging in, Finn Xie saw the four words "Rare Plants" on the popular headlines. When he clicked on it, he saw his pot of succulents that had been auctioned.

There were countless complimentary comments under this posted picture. When Finn Xie saw that "this may be a rare breed that was bred on an undeveloped planet after absorbing countless psychic powers", he finally couldn't help but The corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

No...it's actually just...

A pot of succulents costs a few dollars on a certain treasure.

After turning off his brain and calming down his complicated emotions, Finn Xie pressed his finger on the center of the crystal card for three seconds to bind his identity. With this crystal card holding more than three million credit points, Finn Xie decided to meet with the old president now to discuss the future development of their branch.

The amount raised from the auction completely exceeded Finn Xie's expectations. With this money, Finn Xie felt that he might be an investor in this cub nursing branch.

The old president was already very old. When he heard Finn Xie's idea, he raised his slightly blurred eyes and took a deep look at him, with unconcealable excitement on his face.

He didn't know how the other party got the money, but the young man's behavior was like providing help in times of need, which gave hope to the old president who had been worried about the branch's survival.

Of course, the old president would not refuse Finn Xie's investment proposal. He almost immediately nodded and accepted it. All he had to do was sign a contract, and the matter was settled.

After coming out of the old president's room and going to the room where the cubs were taken care of, Finn Xie saw Avery Xia looking at Elliot Zhao with an uneasy expression. This time, she didn't know what the reason was.

"Anyway, let me remind you that with your current work attitude, you will be fired sooner or later." Avery Xia put down this sentence with a cold face. Recently, the other party has really gone too far. As long as the other party is willing to be a little more serious at work. , Avery Xia will not always show off to the other party.

Who wouldn't want to be able to talk to Yan Yuese, but some people just refuse to listen when others talk nicely, and they have to be scolded.

The word "dismissal" was originally a bit shocking to Elliot Zhao, but he had heard it from Avery Xia so many times that he had long been immune to it. After working in this cub care branch for two years, Elliot Zhao knew that with the conditions of this branch, it was impossible to hire any new employees. Since he could not hire new employees and there was already insufficient manpower, he would definitely not be fired casually. .

So Elliot Zhao didn't take it seriously this time, and still had the same attitude, until another human young man who also didn't take him seriously came up to him ---"You're fired." Finn Xie Say this very clearly, word for word, so that the other person can't hear you clearly.

There was no anger in the young man's voice, he just used a very ordinary statement tone, and his expression was very calm.

"You said you should fire me?" Elliot Zhao sneered, as if he heard something funny, "You are just a new employee. You have time to learn how to respect your seniors. Why do you still think of yourself as the president?" "?"

Finn Xie was not upset and just said: "You can indeed be considered half of the president."

Elliot Zhao just thought the young man was telling a joke. Originally, he wanted to laugh twice, but when the old president appeared, he couldn't laugh.

"Xiao Luan said you should be fired, then you are fired. Why are you still dawdling here? Just pack your things and leave. I will transfer this month's salary to your crystal card." The old president is also very resolute. , the young man is now the largest investor in their branch, so of course he has the final say in dismissing an employee, especially if the employee has bad conduct.

Only then did Elliot Zhao really start to panic. Before he could figure out how the human young man in front of him had become half the president of the branch, he suddenly changed his face and put on an expression to gain sympathy, "President, you can't fire me. Where can I find anything outside?" Work. Let alone work, I don’t even have a place to stay outside. If you fire me, doesn’t that mean you push me to the edge of the cliff? I..."

"We are a cub care association, not a poverty alleviation association." Finn Xie interrupted the other party.

"You---" Elliot Zhao wanted to curse but remembered the young man's current identity, so he held back his words, "I won't leave anyway, so don't let me go!"

Seeing that he couldn't talk, Elliot Zhao started to cheat, which made Avery Xia and the old president beside him both frown. If the other party refuses to leave like this, how are they going to drive the other party out for such a big man?

However, Finn Xie was more straightforward than the other party, "You really don't want to leave?"

After asking this question, Finn Xie waved to the Milo cub who came out of the room because he heard his voice.

Seeing the dangerous-looking Milo cub getting closer and closer, Elliot Zhao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then Elliot Zhao accidentally pulled up his left hand, and in front of the Milo cub, he hit the young man on the arm with his left hand.

Immediately afterwards, Finn Xie performed a live performance of the birth of a drama queen, shouting that it hurt even though it didn't hurt at all.

"Bah---" Seeing the young man being attacked, the Milo cub suddenly let out a threatening hiss from its throat, tightened its vertical pupils and hid the young man behind it, and then used that Scarlet vertical pupils stared closely at the person who had just attacked the young man.

The more he stared at Elliot Zhao, the Milo cub showed more and more aggressiveness. This obviously dangerous posture reminded Elliot Zhao of the shadow of him being chased by the Milo cub before. After holding on for a few seconds, he was so frightened that he ran away.

"Solved." Finn Xie said.

Avery Xia, the old president: ...

"The baby is awesome." Finn Xie reached out and patted the Milo cub's sharp forearm, praising him in a soft voice.

The Milo cub, who was praised by the young man, tilted its head slightly and made a low hissing sound. Finally, it lowered its head and arched into the young man's arms.

The youth has no fighting ability, so it has to protect the other party. Among the Milo tribe, losing the ability to fight basically means death. Therefore, in this Milo cub's understanding, if it does not want the young man in front of it to die, then it must "protect" it. While protecting, provide young people with survival resources so that they can survive.

Now that he had a considerable amount of money, Finn Xie first made a rough plan in his mind on how to allocate and use this money as the start-up capital of this branch.

The day passed quickly. In the evening, after entering the insulation room and applying nutrient solution to the three cub eggs inside, Finn Xie returned to his room, lay down on the soft cushion and prepared to have a good sleep, and start working on his plan tomorrow.

Although Avery Xia said that the nutrient solution can be applied every few days, Finn Xie has not dropped it all day in the past few days and ran to the insulation room every day.

When he closed his eyes, he was still thinking about the development of the branch, but the sleepiness came quickly. It didn't take long for Finn Xie to fall asleep, and his breathing gradually became shallow.

The branch at night is in a peaceful and quiet darkness, and in the only place with light in this quiet night, an unknown thing is happening at this time ---[This egg has been hidden for so many years. It didn't hatch, so it was probably a dead egg. 】

[It’s better if it’s a dead egg, but I heard that the test still has some life reaction, which is really hard. 】

[When there is no life response, just throw this egg into the scrapyard. 】

[Since all the other tribesmen are dead, what's the point of leaving a cub? It would be better if this race is extinct. 】

[Sorry, our branch cannot accept this cub egg. You should send it to another cub care branch. 】

[In view of the complaints from parents, it is inconvenient for our branch to take care of this young egg. You...]

...

...

【Hurry up and be born. 】

"Click." A crisp sound suddenly appeared in the quiet insulation room. As the sound appeared, a clear crack appeared on the black baby egg that had been smeared with nutrient solution and placed properly on the soft cushion. .

This crisp sound occurred several times in succession. When a gap with enough space was finally created in the eggshell, a white plush cub that looked a little round when it lowered its body emerged from the eggshell. He kicked his legs and crawled out.

There is still a bit of someone's scent left in the insulation room. This cub had felt this warm scent when it was still in the eggshell.

But the little breath left in the insulation room was so weak that it was almost impossible to feel it, which made the cub instinctively let out a low purr.

This is a strange world. Even though it is in the insulation room, this cub still feels a cold feeling that seems to be transmitted directly to the depths of its heart, like some kind of dark pulse, dormant deep in its soul. at. The only thing that can make this feeling recede and dissipate is the scent it smells on the eggshell and soft cushions.

There was silence and blackness outside the bright insulation room. Even though it was facing a completely unfamiliar world, the cub walked from a lighted place into this silence and darkness.

【Hurry up and be born. 】

"Huwu." As if responding to this gentle voice in his memory, the cub moved the tip of its tail slightly and began its search.
