Pet King
chapter-180

Zhang Zian looked at the Elfin detective tips and was astonished.

This time, the Elfin was extremely close to him. In fact, he'd rather it was farther away.

The circle showing the location of the elfin covered the entirety of Binhai University…

Oh no! To find an elfin at the university?

That's disappointing!

The difficulty of finding Old Time Tea, who appeared in Mt. Hidden Fog, was nothing compared to this one.

It was definitely easier to find an elfin in the rural area than a highly populated place.

Binhai University was a four-year school. It wasn't the best university in the country and its students mostly came from the local area. However, from undergraduate to graduate schools, there are tens of thousands of people on that piece of property, not counting faculty members and workers...

There were too many students, classrooms and dorms. Where should he start?

The dorms?

He was quite interested in going to the girls' dorms; however, the dorm manager was usually difficult to deal with.

As for the guys' dorms… He'd rather not go there or he would die from the smell of dirty socks.

What should he do?

He decided to try his luck.

He wasn't even sure if he was the only one searching for this elfin.

The detective areas covered 600 miles. As long as other players didn't live in Binhai, it would take them quite a while to get here.

This was only an elite grade elfin, which was nothing too outstanding. Maybe some high-level players would give up once they looked at the rating of the pet.

Above all were his self-comforting techniques.

"Galaxy! Fina! You guys want to go somewhere?" he raised his voice.

"Meow! Where? Are we playing hide and seek in the green land like last time?" Galaxy jumped out from a group of kittens.

"Nope, we are going to the university."

"University? Is it crowded?" Galaxy asked cautiously.

"Well…" Zhang Zian said, "Yeah. There are a lot of people."

"Meow… I don't like crowded places," Galaxy quailed.

"Then you'll have to stay in my cellphone and I will let you out once I come back," Zhang Zian respected its thoughts.

"Can we play hide and seek?"

"Of course," he promised.

"Okay, then I will take a nap. We will play hide and seek later!" Galaxy was happy.

Zhang Zian saved it in his cellphone.

Fina slowly shook its beautiful golden hair, and walked down from upstairs.

"Where are we going?" It asked without interest.

What a lazy cat!

"We're going to Binhai University nearby," He said.

"What is so fun there? Are there shiny things?" it asked.

"Shiny things…" He thought for a second, "I don't think so." Universities wouldn't have jewelry.

Fina's eyes were half-closed. It yawned.

It seemed that Fina was never interested in anything other than shiny jewelry.

"Well, why don't you sleep in my cellphone then. You look tired."

"I do want to take a nap. These days, there are too many people who come to learn martial arts. They don't even care about how I feel," Fina stared at him coldly.

"Okay. Don't be mad. It is all my fault, okay?" Zhang Zian had learned a long time ago that explanations didn't really help when he talked to Fina. He put it in his cellphone.

Old Time Tea was watching TV on its electric blanket with both its paws hiding under its chest. The TV show was the old-fashioned Kung Fu stories. The pictures, stories and special effects were very old… they still wore the wire from the back…

Zhang Zian thought it was hilarious. If he hadn't known about Old Time Tea's history, he might think that it was only a cat that was addicted to TV shows, which wasn't too surprising. However, Old Time Tea was the benevolent and righteous cat. Watching those poor quality Kung Fu show seemed a waste of time.

He could understand that maybe Old Time Tea was recalling the old good days through watching the old shows… It was a totally different world these days.

"Grandpa Tea, I got a game tip that there is another elfin nearby and would like to check it out… Do you want to stay home and watch TV or go with me?"

Zhang Zian could not leave Galaxy and Fina at home yet he was quite comfortable with Old Time Tea being home alone. It was a cat that was tolerant, yet strong, with superior wisdom and experience. No matter what happened, it could handle it with ease. This was very unlike Galaxy and Fina: one was afraid of people, and the other was a hot-tempered cat. It was not a good idea to leave them home by themselves.

If Old Time Tea wanted to stay home, he would make some tea and put it in the new thermos water pitcher. He just needed to teach Old Time Tea how to use it.

Old Time Tea raised its head and asked, interestedly, "Where are you going?"

"Binhai University. It is quite close to here, about a 20-minute walk," Zhang Zian pointed in the direction of Binhai University.

"A University…" Old Time Tea said, "I have heard about those but I have never been to one."

"Would you like to go check it out?"

Old Time Tea nodded. It pressed a button to turn off the TV.

"I was thinking the same thing. It is good to check out the world. It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books…" It glanced at the TV and added, "Watching ten-thousand hours of TV can't get the same benefit of traveling ten-thousand miles…"

Zhang Zian was amused. "That's right. Not everything shown on TV is true. TV shows and movies are not real most of the time. Even some news shows and documentaries are quite objective. You have to see the real life with your own eyes."

Jumping up from the electric blanket, Old Time Tea looked at the vest it was wearing.

"Well, it looks like this is a dated fashion. People might be pointing at me if I go out with this…"

That was true!

Zhang Zian thought for a while. Old Time Tea would not take off its vest and walk outside naked. He didn't have any cat clothing at the store either…

He remembered that the Navigation Elf mentioned that Elfins could appear invisible when they went out. Only the player could see them. He hadn't asked for details, but now it seemed like a great opportunity to figure it out.

"Navigation Elf, can I make Elfins invisible?" he asked.

[Navigation Elf]:Yes, but only under the following conditions: First, the Elfin cannot appear invisible when it goes out alone. It can only appear invisible when its owner goes with it. Second, Elfins cannot be seen by normal people, but can be seen by other players. Third, when Elfins are invisible and they attempt to attack, they will automatically resume their visibility.
