Chapter 134: Dark’s New Pet
The young female clerk at the Kitty Plant Shop was in her early twenties. She wore her hair tied up with a ribbon, leaving two curly strands by her ears. She wore an apron and gloves, appearing quite simple and unassuming.
The students all liked to call her Miss Cat.
Miss Cat still remembered this golden-haired youth.
In fact, she had a very good memory. Anyone who had bought a Grass Cat Plant from the shop, she would remember them.
Watching the youth being completely absorbed in the surrounding cats, she did not disturb him but simply looked at him with gentle, narrow eyes.
Cats were a gift from the heavens; she didn’t dislike anyone who loved cats.
…
After nearly half an hour of indulging, Dusk reluctantly put down the cat on his lap.
Among the displayed Grass Cat Plants in the shop, besides cats, there were only a few others.
These Grass Cat Plants had received positive feedback, but Dusk needed more varieties for reference.
With Pride Fruit running low, the next experimental point should be “Bliss Fruit.”
And animals that match both “Bliss” and the moon would naturally come to mind—foxes, wolves, rabbits… or perhaps vampires, succubi?
Considering he wanted to breed them in the dorm, they should be small and quiet.
For example, Bunny Grass?
Indeed, Bunny Grass was a good choice.
Quiet and timid.
Easy to raise.
Whether in mythological legends or in this world where many Digimon and Pokémon existed, there were numerous species based on rabbits.
Dusk had his own ideas.
He was very interested in the Digimon Olympian Twelve Deities’ Moon Beast—Deoxys.
The growth stage of Deoxys—the Moon Beast (Lunamon)—was based on a rabbit.
On the contrary.
Although this time the “Pride Fruit” produced “Deoxys,” Dusk still harbored fantasies about the Digimon Olympian Twelve Deities’ Sun God—Apollo.
Deoxys and Apollo symbolize “Moon” and “Sun,” respectively. Not only are they Ultimate forms, but they can also fuse and evolve into “Elegant Nova.”
If one could use “Bliss Fruit” and “Pride Fruit” to separately produce “Moon God” and “Sun God,” the significance for the interpretation of Capital Sin would be extraordinary!
…
Furthermore…
The Pokémon world also has “Moon Beast” and “Sun Beast.”
They are “Moon Messenger” Lunala, based on bats, and “Sun Messenger” Solgaleo, based on lions.
…
Of course, these are still just fantasies.
Considering Dusk didn’t find any Bunny Grass in the clerk’s secret room last time, everything was still uncertain.
After putting down the Grass Cat Plant, he approached the clerk: “Miss Cat, I want to keep another type of Grass Cat Plant. Can you show me some new test items?”
The clerk naturally wouldn’t refuse: “Sure, sure. How is your Grass Cat Plant doing?”
Dusk smiled: “Of course, it’s very healthy.”
The clerk turned and led him back into the secret room he had visited before.
Even though he had been there once, Dusk still couldn’t fully adapt to the environment inside the secret room.
There were even more Grass Cat Plants than before, densely arranged in the room.
The most eye-catching was still that huge Goldfish Grass!
It was clear that the clerk had taken good care of the Goldfish Grass—it had grown even fatter!
Around the Goldfish Grass, other varieties of Grass Cat Plants were also in good health.
Dusk endured his psychological discomfort and searched through the pile of Grass Cat Plants.
The clerk happily said: “How do you like it? Recently, customer feedback has been great, so we’ve added more improved products. For example, that Dairy Cow Grass can not only be kept as a pet but also produce juice, meeting customers’ daily needs.”
“Juice?”
Dusk couldn’t help but blink. The Grass Cat Plant the clerk pointed to was a small calf knee-high. So the juice she referred to…
Dusk murmured softly: “Perhaps it can be used to make a Big Milk Jar.”
The clerk: “What?”
Dusk: “No, nothing. I was just wondering why there isn’t a variety like Bunny Grass that seems very popular.”
The clerk hesitated: “We are developing it… Alright, actually, we haven’t solved the problem of Bunny Grass being easily scared to death by high decibel sounds.”
Dusk: “Is that possible?”
The clerk shrugged: “There’s no helping it, Bunny Grass is just that timid.”
Dusk thought for a moment and then said: “When this problem is solved, can I reserve one?”
The clerk happily replied: “Of course.”
Dusk carefully examined the secret room again and asked in puzzlement: “Are there any Liongrass varieties?”
The clerk: “We haven’t solved the problem of Liongrass biting people yet.”
Dusk: “Women’s mouth. I’ll reserve one too.”
…
Things didn’t go as smoothly as Dusk imagined.
So-called test items were almost equivalent to defective items.
Even without considering the unfinished Bunny Grass and Liongrass, most of the Grass Cat Plants in the secret room had biological defects.
-Unlike the original Grass Cat Plants, they didn’t have mature processes.
And those with complete biological traits were somewhat incomplete varieties.
For example, the most noticeable Goldfish Grass and the previously mentioned Dairy Cow Grass.
In short…
There were no foxes, no rabbits, no bats.
But there were dogs and mice.
The dogs were like young English bulldogs.
The mice were brown-furred flowering mice.
Given that Dusk already had a Grass Cat Plant at home, it was hard for him to imagine adding a puppy and a flowering mouse, which might cause a disaster.
But that Goldfish Grass was really eerie.
And he didn’t want to keep a cow in the dorm!
Let alone spider grass and scorpion grass, just thinking about it made him shudder!
In the future, when he had his own studio, he might consider these, but keeping them in the dorm was really too much.
“Maybe, that little Dairy Cow?”
“Perhaps it can be used to cultivate a Big Milk Jar?”
“And the juice from Dairy Cow Grass can be fermented in Huhu, maybe producing special-effect juice?”
“On second thought, it does seem feasible!”
“And Grass Cat Plants don’t grow, this little Dairy Cow is only a bit taller than the knee, raising it as a pet cow is not bad.”
Dusk tried to convince himself and finally, considering sustainable development strategies, he made a decision.
…
“If Bunny Grass is improved after completion, please save one for me!”
After making another reservation with the clerk, Dusk returned to the dorm with a pot of Dairy Cow Grass.
