Chapter 432: Chapter 271: Dream Traveler_3

Hearing the voices, the two turned around to see Mu You coming from behind.

"Boss? Then this is...?"

Mu You looked at the front door and saw the little girl who had been scared by Little Ya and was hiding under the bed. When she saw Mu You, she hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, ran to Mu You and hid behind him, clutching the corner of his clothes.

The two women stared at the girl behind Mu You in surprise.

"Boss... when did you have a little Japanese niece?" Little Ya asked Mu You curiously.

Seeing the kimono the girl was wearing, Lin Xue quickly responded, "Is this the little girl you mentioned yesterday?"

"Yeah." Mu You nodded.

"Eh? What little girl?" Little Ya stared blankly at the two of them. What did I miss?

Mu You briefly explained what had happened yesterday.

"In any case, the child will be staying in the shop for the time being. We need to help keep her identity secret and not let it be discovered by outsiders."

"People are too much, how can they treat a little child like this..." After hearing the story, Little Ya immediately sympathized with the girl, feeling just as she did when she saw abandoned stray kittens on the roadside.

"Can she stay in the store?" Lin Xue looked at Mu You. The shop had to be open for business during the day, with people coming and going. It seemed more likely to be exposed.

"It’s alright, I’ve prepared a house for her in the space. She can stay in the core space during the day, and it’s just a matter of getting through this period..."

Mu You opened the entrance to the core space.

Next to the little wooden house at the entrance to the space, another wooden house had been erected.

Mu You went in and took a look. The room was small, but it had everything it needed: a bed, table, chair, stool, and window. It was perfectly suitable to live in.

"Not bad!"

Mu You was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the robot and turned back to look at the three of them.

He intended to ask for their thoughts, but was met with unanimous objection.

"This isn’t acceptable..."

"Yeah, Boss, this is too crude..."

"There’s a strong smell..."

...

"Err, is it not okay?" Mu You asked.

"It’s crude, there are too many splinters, and the smell of construction is very pungent." That was Lin Xue’s assessment.

"Yeah, look at this beautiful kimono, if she goes in wearing it, it will be ruined, can you bear that..."

"The space is too small, there’s no privacy, she’s a girl..."

"And there’s no wardrobe, where will she keep her change of clothes?"

"Where will she go to the bathroom?"

"The soundproofing is too bad, are you sure a child would dare to sleep here at night alone?"

"The wooden house will get damp in rainy days..."

...

"Err..."

The two women went back and forth, quickly dazing Mu You with their objections.

He was used to living alone, and made the place according to his own standards. It would have been enough for him, and he hadn’t really considered these details.

"Let us handle it!"

After discussing for a while, the two women agreed to take care of arranging accommodations for the little girl.

"It’s up to you."

If they were willing to shoulder the work, Mu You was more than happy to sit back. He decisively handed over control of the robot to them, and offered to cover all expenses for the girl’s accommodation and shopping.

...

At six in the afternoon, the pet shop closed for the day.

After seeing off the last customers, Mu You turned around to hear Little Ya and Lin Xue enthusiastically discussing the little girl’s height and what clothes to buy for her after work.

Mu You felt a mix of embarrassment and relief. Fortunately, there were two women at home. It would have been too difficult for him to manage a little girl’s daily life.

After watching the two women, overflowing with maternal instincts, leave by car, Mu You went back inside the shop, took out his phone, and launched Fool.

When he logged in to the game, his character was still wandering around Phoenix City.

But today he was lucky, and he finally found a semi-fixed job in Phoenix City!

[You arrive at the south of Phoenix City and see Captain Eric of the Security Team pacing anxiously at the city gate.]

[Eric notices you and hurriedly walks over.]

[Eric, who has been avoiding you for two days, seems to have realized that he cannot escape forever. He deliberately seeks you out today to propose that he hopes to cancel the previous agreement to exchange Ratmen for reputation.]

[Of course, as compensation, Eric will offer you another job.]

[Wild Mana Floating Dragon: The Sunlight Forest is the birthplace of the Mana Floating Dragon. The Mana Floating Dragon is a companion species of the Sunlight Elf tribe. It can be contracted as a pet by the Sunlight Elves and help them better release arcane magic. Strictly speaking, the Mana Floating Dragon is not a true creature, but an arcane creature formed by pure arcane energy receiving enough sunlight. It generally only moves in the daylight, feeding on the arcane energy of the earth or the Sunlight Elves.]

But a few Mana Floating Dragons cannot control the energy within themselves. After absorbing too much energy, they will fall into a state of uncontrollable frenzy, won’t disappear even at night, and will become more violent by attacking and devouring other Mana Floating Dragons. If left unchecked, they can cause serious damage to the ecology of the Sunlight Forest. Therefore, these wild Mana Floating Dragons need to be regularly eradicated.]

[The ranger who originally guarded the Sunlight Forest has temporarily left Phoenix City, so they need you to help them for a while. For each wild Mana Floating Dragon killed, you can gain 10 reputation points, with a daily maximum of 100 points. The arcane crystals obtained from killing Mana Floating Dragons can be exchanged in the Arcane Shop for one year of life.]

[Do you accept the task?]

"Accept!"

There’s nothing to hesitate about this. Finally, there’s a reliable, steady mission. Mu You confirms readily.

As for the task of the Ratmen... the Ratmen in the plains have already been mostly cleared. If they continue to hunt them, the physical exhaustion and reputation will not be proportional, so naturally, they would prefer to switch to a new mission.

What surprised Mu You was that after completing the mission, there was still another block of text.

[Seeing you accept the task, Eric heaves a sigh of relief and then shares an additional piece of information with you.]

[Mrs. Elma from the knitting shop in the southern part of the city has submitted a request to the guards just now. Her cat ran into the Sunlight Forest in the afternoon and hasn’t come back.]

[Eric hopes that when you enter the Sunlight Forest, you can help find Mrs. Elma’s cat. If you can find it, he will give you 50 reputation points, and Mrs. Elma will also give you an additional reward.]
