Chapter 353: Chapter 244: Preparing for Opening_2

"National reward?"

Mu You was a bit puzzled at first, so he made a phone call to Zhang Yang to ask. Finally, he understood: it was due to that day when he called Blood Emperor during the tower pushing game.

Although Mu You didn’t join in the action, that phone call provided vital information to their main forces and avoided significant damage. After discussion, he was given a reward of an A-class task as a return.

"So that’s how it is..."

Mu You let out a sigh of relief, finally understanding its origin.

Then Mu You scrolled through the support options in the software and found a ’New Industry Boost’ event.

With the current era of rapid development, the government strongly encourages the emergence of various new magical industries, and has consequently released many entrepreneurial subsidy policies. For Mu You, who has a certain official background, is clean and is also interested in developing new industries, the door of convenience is wide open.

However, he does not need ordinary financial subsidies. What he is really interested in is the ’network subsidy’: it can help entrepreneurs of emerging industries to develop customized apps for free. The government will have a professional team to handle daily maintenance and data security, relieving entrepreneurs’ worries.

Having this subsidy saved Mu You a lot of trouble, and he promptly applied for it.

As he has previously been granted a license to breed and sell magical pets, the application was swiftly approved here as well.

In a short while, a dedicated customer service representative contacted him to inquire in detail about his requirements for the app’s functional design and other needs.

Mu You didn’t have any specific requirements, so long as it was complete in basic functionalities.

According to the customer service representative, he could follow the existing pet store software template. The first version would be ready within a week, and they would gradually improve it based on user experience.

Mu You readily agreed. A week was quite timely, and he might even be able to use it before opening his shop.

Now that the software template was picked, the rest was not of Mu You’s concern.

After hanging up the customer service call, he went back to the Lock Core Space to check.

By this time, Little Ya’s light exposure time for the day had ended.

After two consecutive days of light exposure, one-third of the over two hundred Silver Owl Eggs successfully hatched. For a while, the entire space was filled with the constant chirping of the birds. The Little Silver Owlets were all waiting to be fed with their mouths open.

Mu You took out the feed prepared early this morning. It was made of a mix of ordinary meat and Magic Fish meat, along with some crushed leaves from the tree of life. It could be used universally by most carnivorous magical creatures.

However, with more and more animals in the space, the daily consumption of feed began to increase sharply. This aspect is also one of the main cost sources of pet shops.

As Little Ya and Lin Xue were busy feeding the newly hatched birds, Mu You went to check the fish tank of tadpoles.

Under the catalysis of Evolution Light, over half of these Bulbasaur Seeds have grown legs and some even developed four legs. In a day or two, their tails would disappear, and they would enter the stage of a complete frog.

Both Silver Owls and frogs grow faster than he expected. Mu You calculated that today is Sunday and decided to take the animals to the capital for an inspection on Tuesday. If everything goes well, they could open their shop at any time.

"The only problem left is labor and venue..."

Mu You jotted down notes in his pocket-sized notebook. The venue problem was easy to solve with the backpack space. He could conjure a venue of any size.

Labor was more of an issue. In the future, more and more animals will pour in as the pet shop gets bigger, and the three of them alone would surely not able to cope. While the daily cleaning of feces is already a huge workload, hiring someone might risk exposing their secrets.

The three of them knew each other well and didn’t have secrets among them. But for employees recruited from outside, they carry many unknowns. The unicorn, mermaid, Evolution Scepter, Lin Xue’s Sickle Robe, and the ’door’ in the shop, among other things, were all secrets that need to be kept.

Having strangers come in for a day or two is fine, but there’s always the risk of exposure in the long run.

After contemplating for a moment, Mu You left the space, took out the backpack that held the captive Goblin, opened the entrance, and walked in.

Upon entering the backpack, Mu You didn’t immediately see the Goblin. Instead, he heard a buzzing sound, like that of a machine, coming from the direction of the mountain in the space.

Mu You went over and found that a square entrance had been dug at the base of the mountain. It connected to a cave, and the buzzing sound came from deep inside.

Mu You frowned, walked into the cave, turned a corner, and quickly saw the Goblin busying itself deeper inside the cave.

At the moment, the Goblin was sitting on an iron frame. The front of the frame extended two robotic arms, drilling into the mountain rock under the Goblin’s control.

The Goblin vaguely heard the steps behind him and subconsciously paused his work. He looked back.

When he saw Mu You standing outside the cave, he gave a start, quickly jumped off the iron frame, ran up to Mu You, laughed awkwardly, and started to explain: "Well... I just wanted to build a room and mine some ores. I definitely didn’t plan to escape!"

Mu You neither agreed nor disagreed with the Goblin’s explanation. There was only one exit in the backpack space, so even if the Goblin wanted to tunnel its way through the mountain and escape, it was impossible. As soon as it dug to the bottom of the space, it would be blocked by the Barrier.
