Chapter 4 Give Me the Dog Leash
On a vacant lot at an abandoned construction site, three men in their thirties or forties were holding knives and poking at a tied-up dog, clearly intent on slaughtering the yellow dog, which weighed about forty or fifty pounds.
Yang Xun immediately recognized the dog as the Labrador Retriever from the lost dog poster.
The system did not provide any notification after the dog was found.
In other words, you need to rescue the dog to complete the dog-finding mission and receive the reward of search points.
Whether it's for the exploration value or the 5,000 yuan reward, Yang Xun must save this dog.
The three men, confused by Yang Xun's shouting as he ran towards them, glanced at him for a moment. One of the burly men looked at the panting Yang Xun and sneered, "What, you want us to let this old dog go?"
Another tall, thin man chuckled, "This dog is ours. If you want to try some dog meat, help us gather firewood later. If you're with any of those 'philanthropists,' you can get out of here now. Don't push your luck."
The last man couldn't help but shout, "Get lost! I'll kill a dog! Who gave you the guts to come here and cause trouble? Look where you are! Who are we?"
The scene, and the appearance of these three men, caused a flurry of comments to flood the live stream.
"Host, it's good that you have a kind heart, but these three are not to be trifled with. Get out of here quickly."
"Little Kitty: Don't be afraid, streamer. I'll record a live stream video for you. If they dare to do anything to you, I'll give you evidence so you can send those three trash to jail and see if they still dare to be arrogant."
"You guys seem to have forgotten something. How did the streamer know that the Labrador was here? Don't you have any suspicions? Maybe the streamer is on good terms with these three people in private. We don't want to be sold out and end up helping them count the money."
"Upstairs, are you even speaking human language? Look at this starving, sickly dog, and these three threatening the streamer with knives. If this is fake, I'll gouge out my own eyes live on stream."
"Host, you absolutely must save the dog. If you do, I'll give you a big gift, and I mean it."
……
Yang Xun couldn't pay attention to what was happening in the live stream at this moment.
Despite being a little intimidated by the appearance of the three men, he still looked at them with a firm gaze and explained.
"Brothers, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
This Labrador Retriever is neither a stray nor a dog intended for slaughter; it has an owner. The owner asked me to come and find the dog, and now that I've found it, I'm naturally not going to just stand by and watch it get killed by those guys.
Brothers, please don't be impatient. I know your preferences, and I won't force you. I'll treat you to a hearty meal at Xiangrou Restaurant. That's much better than you going through all that hard work slaughtering and cooking meat, not knowing when you'll be able to enjoy a good meal.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of my proposal? If you agree, I'll transfer three hundred yuan to you right now so you can go out to eat. I'll take this dog home."
This was the best way Yang Xun could think of to save the dog.
If we rescue this dog and return it to its owner, even after deducting the few hundred yuan, we'll still have over four thousand yuan in income.
Why escalate the conflict and put yourself at risk?
The tall, thin man immediately retorted angrily, "You think you can just say it has an owner? This dog weighs at least forty or fifty pounds. You think you can get rid of us with a mere three hundred yuan? Get lost! We're not stupid."
The burly man waved his hand impatiently: "You'd better get lost. You don't have this kind of interest, you don't know the taste, you don't understand anything at all. Can those meat dogs in restaurants compare to this old dog? Meat prepared by hand is the only one that tastes good and is satisfying. Your three hundred yuan is too much. If it were two thousand yuan, I might consider it."
The last man said definitively, "Give me two thousand yuan, and you can take this dog back. Otherwise, don't bother arguing here."
The three people's conditions caused the live stream to boil over once again.
"Host, they're asking for an exorbitant amount. Don't agree to it. If necessary, just call the police and see if they're scared."
"Two thousand yuan, it seems like the streamer wouldn't lose out by agreeing to it. The dog owner gets five thousand yuan in payment, so they still make three thousand yuan. If it were me, I would have agreed."
"Little Kitten: Host, if you promise them to rescue this dog quickly, I'll personally give you a reward of 500 yuan."
"Me too, I'll tip you 300 yuan, streamer."
"You've really been fooled by the streamer. They're all in cahoots, deliberately putting on an act to make us viewers feel sorry for them so they can swindle our money."
……
Yang Xun was still completely unaware of what was happening in the live stream. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he looked at the three men and said, "Brothers, two thousand yuan is too much. How about one thousand yuan? I'm live streaming right now. If any fans call the police, we'll all be in trouble. I don't care if I'm in trouble, but I'm afraid that you brothers will be in trouble so much that you won't enjoy your food. It would be better if you didn't have to slaughter the meat yourselves and just went to Xiangrou Restaurant to drink and eat big chunks of meat. One thousand yuan it is."
"You still dare to livestream right in front of us?"
The three men's eyes widened, a flash of panic crossed their faces, and then their expressions turned to anger.
Yang Xun quickly explained, "Brothers, I didn't mean it, but I'm a streamer, this is my daily job, please understand. Brothers, could one of you please give me a QR code so I can scan the code and transfer the money to you?"
The three men stared at each other for a few seconds. The tall, thin man took out his phone, tapped the QR code, and said coldly, "Your methods are clever. We admit defeat. Scan the thousand yuan quickly, then drag that old dog away."
"it is good."
Without saying much, Yang Xun swept over a thousand yuan, then quickly untied the rope and led the sickly Labrador away.
At that moment, two light screen messages flashed before my eyes.
[Retrieved the Labrador Retriever, gained 200 Detection Points.]
[Live-stream item discovery settlement: 10 item discovery points earned.]
Yang Xun was taken aback and quickly opened the panel, where the object detection value had reached 310 points.
However, there's still a long way to go before reaching 1,000 exploration points, so there's no need to worry.
After going outside, Yang Xun saw the dog looking weak and listless, and quickly went into a store to buy it food and water so that it could fill its stomach.
Wang Wang Wang!
The yellow Labrador devoured over a dozen sausages and drank a whole bottle of water, still looking very hungry as it wagged its tail and barked at Yang Xun.
"You eat too much. I'm not your master. Come on, let's go find your master and let him feed you."
Yang Xun smiled speechlessly, naturally unwilling to spend any more money to feed the dog. Instead, he held the dog's leash while making a phone call.
The call was answered after a few seconds of ringing.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Yang Xun recognized the woman's voice as the one he had met before, and politely replied, "Hello, did you lose a Labrador? I happened to find a Labrador that looks a lot like yours. Is what you posted in your ad true?"
Wang Wang Wang!
This Labrador may have heard its owner's voice and was barking excitedly.
A woman's urgent voice blared from the phone's speaker: "It's my Xiao Huang, there's no mistake that sound. As for the reward of five thousand yuan on the notice, I'll transfer it to you as long as you bring Xiao Huang back to me."
"Okay, let's add each other on WeChat. Send me your location and I'll send the dog over to you right away."
After receiving the promise and hanging up the phone, Yang Xun added the other party on WeChat and obtained their specific location. He then started a live stream again and headed towards the location.
Soon, Yang Xun saw the woman, who was around forty years old and rather plump, at the entrance of the residential area next to the "Lost Dog Notice" bulletin board.
"Is it you?"
Liu Lili's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that she had been tricked by the young man in front of her. Her expression changed, and she said coldly, "Give me the dog leash, and you can go back."
