“Come on, sign this contract and I will become your eternal servant!”
The giant panda had a flattering look on its face.
Xin`er pushed the contract aside in panic. In fact, she didn’t even have time to wipe her tears. She hurriedly ran behind Xu Nan and clutched the corner of Xu Nan’s shirt.
She pointed at the giant panda; her eyes filled with terror.
The giant panda had a dumbstruck look on its face. “Am I really so malevolent-looking?”
Xu Nan waved his hands. “Still okay I guess. Xin`er, it’s fine. Although this fellow has become a demon spirit, he most probably wouldn’t harm anyone.”
Xin`er stomped her foot. She suddenly grabbed her phone and sent a text on WeChat to him.
“What is that?”
Her little face was still completely pale.
Xu Nan also felt somewhat nervous. He had never seen Xin`er running out from her room before, let alone her current fragile appearance that was hiding behind him.
As an elder brother, a natural desire to protect his younger brother rose up.
He also took his phone up and replied.
“It is a giant panda. Have you never seen one on TV?”
Xin`er stomped her foot again. She gritted her teeth and replied.
“I naturally know it is a giant panda… but why would there be a giant panda capable of human speech in our house?”
Xu Nan started slightly as he muttered irresolutely to himself, “It’s a long story…”
The giant panda stared at the two of them chatting using WeChat in a daze. It suddenly felt like it was in an illusion.
Xin`er drew in a deep breath and touched Xu Nan’s arm. After ascertaining Xu Nan was fine, she jogged back up the stairs.
Bang! The door on the second level slammed shut.
[Xin`er: It’s good that you are fine.]
A current of warmth flowed through Xu Nan’s heart. So, this brat had been worried that he wouldn’t be able to return after heading out. But then again, if he was not around, Xin`er’s ability to take care of himself was so weak. How would Xin`er be able to survive?
In any case, this national treasure had to be handled properly.
Hence, he pushed the giant panda in an extremely unkind manner. “Oi, I don’t care where you come from and what you are trying to do. This is my house.”
“Get lost from here!”
The giant panda rolled on the ground and acted like a damn beggar. “Nooooo. I just found my goddess, she is the master of my heart. How can I leave her?”
“I want to protect her!”
Xu Nan rolled his eyes. This fellow didn’t exude the bearing of a national treasure at all. It was simply a scoundrel.
“Could it be that this fellow fell in love with Xin`er?”
Xu Nan involuntarily felt a chill in his heart. He felt even warier now. He warned the panda a final time, “Don’t force me to cast spells, I’m a very powerful spellcaster.”
“Just kill me. If I die, my corpse can accompany my goddess.”
The giant panda simply lay on Xu Nan’s sofa, like a salted fish that had lost all its dreams. It was also mumbling, “With my appearance being so adorable, how could there be people rejecting me to be their magical pet?”
Xu Nan’s lips twitched. He silently took out his iron gloves and the Staff of Innocence, preparing to chase the panda away.
Even if he had to bear the sin of beating up a national treasure, he had to chase this fellow, which was even more shameless than him, out!
However, who knew that at this very moment, the panda rolled over and looked at him seriously. “What is your relationship with my goddess? Why do both of you stay together?”
Xu Nan stuck his chest out. “I’m his brother!”
“You don’t resemble her.” Smiley had a puzzled look on its face. Its black eyes surveyed Xu Nan from the top to the bottom. “Your entire being is exuding a wretched aura. This aura is completely different from the pure and elegant aura the goddess exudes.”
Xu Nan laughed. “You don’t have to care about this. Anyway, the ‘goddess’ you are referring to is actually a male.”
The giant panda laughed coldly. “Stop thinking about lying to me. Whether she is a male or female, do you think I can’t differentiate it?”
“In any case, I don’t care. I’m going to stay at your house until I gain the goddess’s approval.”
“Forget it, since the goddess is unwilling, I’ll follow you reluctantly for now. This is the secondary magical pet contract. You ought to feel very satisfied!”
After speaking, it threw a brand new magical contract over.
Xu Nan felt somewhat shocked in his heart. To make such a magical contract, even a second-stage mage had to write it seriously for a long time.
However, this giant panda simply waved its hands and was able to take a contract out? Could it be that this panda was a powerful mage?
He carefully read through it. The Staff of Innocence in his hand involuntarily wanted to smash itself down on her(the panda) head.
What secondary magical pet contract? This was basically a contract with no restriction to the pet. Other than this panda named Smiley being his pet in-name, he would get no other benefits!
“Are you a spellcaster?”
Xu Nan asked.
“No.”
“Is it possible for you to transform into a pandarian warrior?”
“Absolutely not.”
“Will you be a qualified magical pet?”
“Look at my bearing, do you think I’m suitable to be a magical pet for a mortal? Don’t have too high of an expectation for me.”
Smiley replied in disdain while chewing on a bamboo stick.
No matter how good Xu Nan’s temper was, he was now completely enraged.
As he tore the contract, he said, “I apologize, please leave. I still want a cat or a crow.”
Smiley was instantly infuriated. “You look down on giant pandas? I’m very powerful. Have you seen Kungfu Panda before?”
Xu Nan was shocked. “You know Kungfu?”
Smiley: “I can learn.”
Xu Nan: “…Go away!”
He waved the Staff of Innocence as he hit the panda.
At the start, Smiley depended on its thick and tough skin, wanting to simply lie down on the sofa. But after a few hits, she started to call out in pain, “Ah, what staff is this? Why is it so painful?”
“Don’t you know that abusing a national treasure is a crime?”
“…It’s my mistake…don’t hit me anymore, I have internal injuries…”
“Boohoohoo, just pity me and accept me as your magical pet…I only want to stay by my goddess’s side.”
The giant panda wiped away her tears and hugged Xu Nan’s thigh. She stared at the Staff of Innocence in Xu Nan’s hands with terror in her eyes.
“Hehe.”
Xu Nan was expressionless. “Later on, I will rent a big truck and toss you into a nature conservation district. You can do whatever you like there, just stop coming to disturb me.
“Our fate ends here. I know that you have lived with no worries for the first-half of your life. Now, I will teach you a lesson. You must know that even national treasures cannot wilfully do whatever they want to.”
Smiley felt wronged to the extreme. She slumped onto the ground extremely dejectedly.
“…Can I really not see my goddess anymore?…boohoo.”
Xu Nan felt a little bad when he saw this. Although this giant panda was a little repulsive, it was also quite mystical. If one wanted to blame something, it would be that the panda’s earlier actions were too loathsome.
In any case, although the Alter World was coming and a great transformation would happen, wouldn’t it be extremely weird if he suddenly reared a panda at home?
“Please take a look again, what about this magical pet contract?”
Smiley weakly passed over an official-looking magical pet contract. Xu Nan put on an act as he accepted it. In truth, he already had a decision in his heart.
However, when he took the contract, he suddenly saw a row of words–
[The 17th condition: Magical pets can bear the burden of any energy forms needed by their master and the energy loss will be about 50%…]
“Any forms of energy?”
“Bear the burden? Or share the amount of energy? Wait a minute…”
A flash of understanding appeared in Xu Nan’s mind. He opened up the Ron Warlock bloodline system and checked the information. Soon after that, he received a satisfactory answer!
At the next second, his expression immediately changed.
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t like to see people crying the most. Let’s sign the agreement then.”
Xu Nan signed the normal-version of the magical pet contract with lightning speed.
The giant panda was clueless. “Eh? I thought you said our fate has ended?”
Xu Nan smiled amiably. “No no, that was only words of anger. I suddenly feel that it might be a good thing with you around.”
The giant panda was completely clueless, but since she could continue to remain in this house and wouldn’t be chased out by Xu Nan, she was already very satisfied. After signing, she hurriedly rolled on the ground, moving back into the garage.
Not long later, the happy sounds of someone chewing on a bamboo stick rang out.
Xu Nan smiled.
According to the reminder by the system, a magical pet could help their master complete missions and could even provide an additional portion of energy income. The ‘energy income’ portion includes the shameless points that were exclusive to Ron Warlocks!
In other words, the giant panda Smiley could help Xu Nan obtain extra shameless points. Although everything obtained by the magical pet would be deducted by about 50%, to Xu Nan, where could he find a more shameless magical pet than her?!
He believed that even if the system didn’t give him new missions, this giant panda named Smiley would definitely be able to gain many shameless points for him.
“I’ve earned it big!” Xu Nan excitedly rubbed his hands and joyfully tidied up the place. After that, he went to prepare lunch.
Through WeChat, he informed Xin`er that the giant panda would be staying in their garage. After that, Xin`er also seemed to have gradually accepted this fact.
After all, she was a live-streamer and would be online every day. With regard to the changes in this world, her understanding was very deep.
Her own brother suddenly decided to rear a panda. At the start, she felt it was quite terrifying. But after that, she felt that there was nothing much to it; it was just like this.
After eating the meal, Xu Nan quietly checked Smiley’s stats. He couldn’t help being shocked.
“You are actually a female?”
Xu Nan involuntarily exclaimed in shock.
In the garage, Smiley warily clutched her green bamboo stick tightly. “What do you want to do? Although you are my master now, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to me.”
Xu Nan felt his skull aching. “What are you thinking about? I’m only shocked by it…In any case, do I look like someone so demented?”
Smiley didn’t disagree, she continued, “Are warlocks not known to be demented beings?”
Xu Nan contemplated for a while, but it seemed like he couldn’t find any reason to refute her.
“Remember to get someone to install the air-conditioning. Also, I want to watch TV and I want to eat meat…”
Xu Nan kindly patted Smiley’s head. “Go and sleep. Child, there’s everything in a dream.”
Smiley coldly snorted, “If you don’t help me, if worst comes to worst, I will take action myself!”
Xu Nan also didn’t mind.
He went for a short afternoon nap. After dinner, the time to meet his senior school sister arrived. He then went to a famous couple cafe’s entrance at Xinkou Street for the meeting.
When he and Zhang Yingluo rushed to the surroundings near Lu Junyi’s hospital. They discovered that the entire place was locked down to their astonishment.
Large amounts of smoke rose from there. Many people were standing around in a circle as they watched.
Armed soldiers with solemn expressions were standing guard there. Xu Nan could even see the silhouette of a tank amidst the smoke!
“What the hell? This is a new area of H City, why is it in this state?”
Xu Nan felt some worry.
“I just received news that Lu Junyao has fled. It’s said that he offended an extremely powerful woman. Right now, he most probably has fled to South America or Australia.”
Zhang Yingluo received two phone calls, and she had a strange expression on her face.
“The person he offended is named Wenxin, someone with a really influential background, and Lu Junyi’s hospital is already razed to flat ground by the tank… I feel that things aren’t that simple. If it’s a private grudge, why is there a need to create so much commotion?
“Well, Junior brother Xu Nan, let’s head back before we reconsider our options. Anyway, I have a registration list of the Thousand Awn Agency. I hope that you can fill it up. You have to fill up this form sooner or later, because at most, in a week, the first nationwide job-holders registration procedure will commence…”
