Chapter 26

After the video projection ended, Arnold went back to the living room and saw Fu Yue who had just returned from the Pet Warehouse passage.

Watching the small pets and greeting them, Arnold followed them as they jumped back onto the sofa.

Even though he had already verbally agreed to attend the party, it was still a pet-themed event for showcasing pets.

So, just to be sure, he felt he might need to ask the person involved for their opinion.

Arnold looked at the invitation reflected in his pupils, blinked, and sent it.

"Um, I sent you an invitation to the party."

Invitation? Fu Yue glanced at the boss in front of her and immediately opened the work email.

Fu Yue carefully read through the invitation, realizing it was a pet-themed party.

She was actually a bit hesitant to go, as the last mermaid had made a lasting impression on her. She even specifically searched for information on alien pets.

She looked through a lot of information online and came to a conclusion. She said that if aliens’ pets were divided into ten levels based on their strength, her Fu Yue’s strength would be level 1, which was a bit of an overestimation.

In any case, just by looking at the strange and diverse types of pets, you would know how casual and terrifying they were about having pets.

"Are these pets scary?" Fu Yue was very worried.

"No problem," He had investigated this a long time ago. "These pets brought here have been trained, and they also have chips implanted in them. If they have any thoughts of harming people, they will be stopped in advance."

Maybe they didn’t want to harm people, but some of them were already frightening in their appearance.

Fu Yue, who didn’t want to go, was thinking of faking an illness. But it was just so coincidental that with a casual glance, she saw the reward on the invitation letter.

And she immediately broke free from her previous weak acting and became a spirited business fighter.

"General, I want to go!" After Fu Yue firmly expressed her attitude, the situation suddenly changed. She rubbed her hands in anticipation and looked at Arnold with flattery. "If I win in the talent show, can I have the prize money…?" She wasn’t greedy; she would be very content with just half of it.

Arnold, "It’s all yours."

Fu Yue smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, General. You are truly a good person, so generous. You are worthy of being the commander of all Star Domains!"

Fu Yue’s rainbow farts were coming out freely like they cost nothing. Even though Arnold had given her some spending money before, it was not enough at all. It was all because the Star Network live broadcast was too enticing and the interstellar delivery arrived so quickly.

She bought this and that, and soon realized she had no more money left in her pocket.

But ever since she visited Arnold’s room that day, from the next day onwards, this boss treated her as a servant signing a contract, and she didn’t want to experience any joy of developing relationships again.

So when she saw this great opportunity falling from the sky, she had to go and grab it, otherwise she would be silly!

However, she needed to think about what talents she could show to outshine others and compete for the first place… As Fu Yue was thinking about this, getting ready to check some information, Arnold beside her spoke, "We can leave now."

Fu Yue, "???" What’s going on, little buddy?

She realized she hadn’t confirmed the most important thing, quickly flipped to the end of the invitation, and finally saw the date of the banquet.

It was actually today!

Fu Yue sneaked up on Arnold with a fierce look in her eyes, thinking that he might be blocking her path to wealth, but she didn’t have any proof yet.

After taking a deep breath, Fu Yue forced a smile at Arnold who was looking at her. She hoped that she could at least get some money out of this visit.

"General, please wait a moment. Let me change my clothes and I’ll come out to meet you soon," said Fu Yue, smiling as she got up and walked back to her room.

"Hmm," Arnold nodded slightly as he sat on the sofa.

[Warning: Fu Yue’s anger towards you has exceeded the average level. Please be cautious.]

Arnold remained calm upon receiving the message, "You are mistaken, 1086. She is clearly smiling at me, not showing any signs of anger."

He had learned to read facial expressions accurately and was confident in his judgment.

With confidence, Arnold sat on the sofa, continuing to review the documents. He only stopped when Fu Yue skillfully sat on his lap.

Then he saw Fu Yue, wearing a purple dress, sitting obediently on his lap.

"Do I look okay like this?" Fu Yue uncertainly touched her newly curled hair, her eyes shifting with insecurity, as she wasn’t quite sure about the aesthetics here.

But for the upcoming pet exhibition banquet, she decided to dress up a bit.

The dress she wore was a purple high-waisted style she accidentally found in an online store, with delicate random embroidery patterns that immediately caught Fu Yue’s eye.

Paired with a voluminous English princess-style braid, created with a styling tool she splurged on.

This was her complete outfit for today to go claim the prize money.

But after waiting for a long time, she still didn’t receive any response from Arnold.

Confused, she looked up directly and saw her boss still lost in thought.

Oh, she understood now, this person was probably still reviewing his documents… Fu Yue grumbled about her boss who only focused on his work and ignored his employees’ salaries, while deciding to move away and check herself out in the 3D mirror.

Little did she know, as soon as she moved, Arnold lifted her up high.

"Very pretty." It looked 2.75 times prettier than usual and appeared more lively.

"That’s good." Fu Yue felt a little relieved, then urged, "Let’s go quickly!"

So Arnold skillfully picked up Fu Yue and walked towards the spaceship.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, since it started with interactions among the hosts, Fu Yue was led by the staff to the central resting area for pets.

However, the staff in front maybe feared Arnold, so they always stood about two meters away from her while leading the way.

When they arrived at a door, they turned around and said, "We’re here," then almost ran away.

Yes, the killing reputation of War General Arnold is indeed terrifying.

But Fu Yue couldn’t dwell on this anymore. She pushed open the door and would soon face all her opponents in this competition.

First of all, she can’t afford to lose in terms of momentum!

When she stepped into the sensing area, the door inside opened automatically.

She came face to face with the pets inside. After a brief moment of eye contact, the pets on this side immediately looked at her with fear in their eyes as if they had seen a terrifying monster.

Fu Yue took a step forward, and the pets on the opposite side collectively stepped back.

Fu Yue took another step forward, and the door behind her closed automatically. The pets all showed expressions of shattered hope.

Then she took several more steps forward and said, "You guys…" As soon as she spoke, the pets quickly squeezed to the other end of the room, shivering against the wall and looking at her with fear.

The only one left here was the Fishhead Monster in the big fish tank, which had just jumped out and was struggling forward on the ground, as if determined to reach the other end of the wall.

No, she should at least gather some information about the competition here.

Fu Yue also walked to the opposite side, and as a result, the group of pets ran to the other end, sticking to the walls on both sides.

Fu Yue, "??? Is she already this famous in the pet world?"

Oh no, she hardly ever goes out, how could she have time to improve her influence! Plus, there were some pets over there that didn’t seem very smart, yet they were running away with her.

Looking closely, Fu Yue actually saw a mermaid.

Last time, she remembered this brother trying to control her, why was she so scared this time too.

Oh… right! When she left today, she also sprayed the perfume Arnold gave her!

When he gave it to her, Arnold mentioned that this perfume could protect her. But because it looked nice and smelled good, she forgot its main purpose was for protection.

But then again, seeing those pets looking at her with such fear in their eyes. Could it be that this perfume, to them, actually smelled like a stink bomb?

Wow, the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, Fu Yue paced back and forth under the attention of the pets across from her.

Finally, she decided not to scare herself, so she messaged Zhang Minli. Asking about the smell of the perfume on her.

Quickly, Zhang Minli replied with the answer.

[Perfume? Have you ever sprayed it, dear?]

Fu Yue: Yes, I used it last time at the party.

Zhang Minli: ?

Zhang Minli: I really didn’t smell anything. Did you spray too little?

Impossible, she remembered clearly that she sprayed a lot on herself to leave a good impression on her fellow Blue Star people.

Thinking back, Arnold’s expression when giving it to her also didn’t seem very natural.

And when analyzed like this, shouldn’t the Blue Star people not be able to smell this kind of scent originally?

So what is in this bottle after all… Before Fu Yue could figure it out, the waitress who had just appeared with weak legs reappeared behind the door, before she could indicate that they could leave, all the pets had already escaped outside.

Leaving only the Fishhead Monster, struggling desperately on the ground.

Fu Yue picked up the Fishhead Monster gently and put it in the fish tank. Surprisingly, as a fish, it fainted right away and sank to the bottom of the tank.

Yes, this time she eliminated one competitor.

Congratulations!
