The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Although the county soldiers were not part of the Great Wall garrison, they were still well-equipped.

Faced with being surrounded, Taihua immediately protected Dorothy, while Alvin and Donas each held weapons and stood guard.

"what's the situation?"

Donas shouted.

Just moments before she was reveling in the thrill of robbing the rich to help the poor, but now Donas was already in battle mode, her large, bright eyes scanning the numerous enemies with piercing intensity.

Although her mind wasn't sharp, her memory was excellent; Donas was certain she didn't recognize these soldiers.

They were all unfamiliar faces!

"Could it be that you're here for the disaster relief porridge too?"

With her tail wagging, Donas lowered her voice and spoke to Alvin beside her.

Alvin had anticipated this.

She understood that the powerful family that had been robbed the previous night would surely send constables to arrest her.

I never expected it to come so quickly!
Moreover, the other side was able to mobilize armored county soldiers, roughly estimated to be over a thousand men.

A 1,000-man unit, standard configuration: swordsmen and shieldmen + crossbowmen + spearmen, with 60% armor coverage.

At least half the military strength of a county!
Her sharp gaze swept in all directions, and Alvin couldn't help but frown, clicking her tongue twice as she thought to herself, "This is not good."

With her or Taihua's strength, even if they couldn't fight the thousand-strong county army corps head-on, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

but,
The key to the current situation lies with the doro.
What to do with the two little ones?
Alvin glanced at Donas out of the corner of her eye, then at Dorothy.

She was very worried that the Doro would be injured by powerful crossbow bolts...

For safety's sake, Alvin retreated, shrinking the defensive space to protect only the area around the soup kitchen. "Dorothy, if a battle breaks out, you and Donas immediately dig a tunnel back to the real world. As long as you two little ones leave, Taihua and I won't be held back and can escape at any time."

The situation was too critical, and Alvin didn't have time to carefully choose his words; calling it "a burden" was simply stating the facts.

Dorothy nodded in agreement, acknowledging that she would be a hindrance.

but,

It's impossible to dig a wormhole tunnel back to the real world on the spot.

Because there are too many people watching nearby.

The Doro racial ability to dig wormhole tunnels to travel through dimensions has a prerequisite: they must avoid the sight of the native inhabitants of their current world.

Otherwise, the ability cannot be activated!

“We can’t use our time-traveling abilities right now; we need to go somewhere quiet and secluded. Don’t worry, I can protect myself and will try not to be a burden to you.” As Dorothy spoke, she raised the Robit Bow and focused her attention on forming a golden arrow.

Upon learning that the little ones couldn't escape for the time being, Alvin instantly unleashed a powerful martial arts force, condensing a seamless, semi-transparent, arc-shaped shield with her aura.

The aura shield is similar to the Golden Bell Cover in martial arts movies and TV dramas.

The defensive effect is considerable.

The downside is that it is extremely physically demanding.

If a hundred archers take turns firing, Alwen can only hold out for 10 minutes before she can no longer protect the Doro.

Donas is not usually very bright, but her combat intelligence is exceptionally high. She immediately came up with a solution.

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first!"

"A thousand people, the more you rely on the commander to give orders, the more you need to defeat the enemy's leader."

"Besides, there are many refugees near the soup kitchen. Do you really think these soldiers would dare to fire arrows indiscriminately?"

Based on her assessment of the current situation, Donas's analysis was quite insightful, clearly demonstrating that she had studied military strategy in her spare time.

Taihua, who had remained silent until now, chimed in with a few words, retorting, "How do you know these soldiers won't dare to fire arrows indiscriminately? Refugees are less than dogs in the eyes of nobles; those beasts don't care about the lives of ordinary people..."

Donas listened, completely bewildered.

As a doro, it was still too kind and underestimated the wickedness of human nature.

"Then let's fight to our hearts' content!"

With a childlike, childlike voice, Donas raised her head and roared. In a moment of impulsiveness, she charged out of the protective field of her aura shield and launched a surprise attack on the nearest soldier.

Just now, in about a few dozen seconds, more than a thousand county soldiers had formed an encirclement.

Nobody takes Doro seriously.
The county soldiers considered Alwen and Taihua to be the only formidable enemies.

As for Dorothy, Donas, and the Metal Monster...

Who would care about two cute little animals or a big lump of iron?
Despite being underestimated, Donas weaved through the refugees, running dozens of meters without being attacked by any of the county soldiers armed with bows and crossbows.

It has a round and chubby body and looks harmless at first glance.

Donas successfully ambushed a general riding a warhorse by taking advantage of her appearance.

"Take this sword!"

They could only hear shouts, but couldn't see the enemy; the officer was filled with horror.

It wasn't until Donas leaped up and the toy sword slashed at his armor that the officer realized what was happening.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle."
After slashing nine times in quick succession, Donas used the momentum to kick the horse's head, somersaulting in mid-air and landing back in front of the soup kitchen. She landed steadily, her posture elegant.

The general in charge of the troops was ambushed and hit, but fortunately, his armor protected him and he was not seriously injured.

The warhorse, however, was startled and struggled, throwing the commanding officer to the ground.

The commander was suddenly attacked.

The morale of the county soldiers immediately collapsed.

A loophole has appeared in the encirclement.

Alvin couldn't help but smile in surprise. She hadn't expected that Donas's sneak attack, which she had run over openly, would succeed. It was truly unbelievable.

With a slight smile, Alvin didn't think twice and immediately launched an attack on the weakest point in the encirclement.

"Dorothy! Hurry up and keep up!"

As soon as Alvin finished speaking, she charged into the enemy ranks, using both her light and heavy swords to carve a path through them. The swords clashed, flashing silver light. Every strike was incredibly precise, whether it was a wrist strike, a knee bend, or a shield being forced back… she forcefully tore a gap through the dense ranks of soldiers.

As the battle began, Dorothy quickly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

But then, instead of keeping up with Alwen, it withdrew the robit bow.

Quickly hide behind the stove.
Dorothy picked up the burlap sack she had previously used to store grain.
Turning her head, she shouted to Donas, "I'm off! You guys hang in there, I'm going to find Doro and Pina and bring them to rescue us..."

Before she could finish speaking, Dorothy slipped into the sack, pushed off the ground with her short legs, and vanished into thin air.

The once bulging burlap sack became deflated.
Dorothy used the sack to cover her body, thus avoiding the sight of everyone around her.
It successfully dug out a wormhole tunnel to travel to another world.

Having just witnessed Donas's sneak attack on the officer, Dorothy realized that the Doro didn't seem to be paying much attention. If she could hide well and slip into a blind spot near the stove during the chaos, she'd have a chance to escape!

And as expected, Dorothy escaped successfully, running away faster than a rabbit.

Seeing Dorothy escape, Donas breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she wouldn't have to worry about her companion's escape later.

At the same time, Donas firmly believed that Dorothy would never betray her partner.

It will definitely find Doropine to come to the rescue!

Without time to think too much, Donas gripped the hilt of her sword and caught up with Alvin and Taihua to break through the encirclement.

Upon discovering that morale was crumbling, the mastermind hidden within the county soldiers' ranks surfaced, revealing himself to be the patriarch of the Ma family, a powerful clan that had been robbed the previous night.

The man took a conch shell from his sleeve.
Blow it towards the sky,

The sound of the conch shell gradually calmed the county soldiers.

"Apprehend the thief immediately!"

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

Chief Ma roared hysterically, issuing orders to the county soldiers, intending to shoot Alwen, Taihua, and Donas.

But no soldiers would obey his orders.
Because randomly firing arrows would inevitably injure the disaster victims.

And so, Alvin seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and, together with Taihua, protected Donas as they sped off into the distance.

at the same time
In a fruit shop in a small town southwest of the capital city in the real world,

Shu Chu showed Huang Musong the sales reports for the past two weeks. Upon seeing the detailed data, Huang Musong frowned slightly, then his brows tightened into a knot. "Why has sales dropped so much? Aside from the various 'Orunji' products that are selling increasingly well, the sales of all other fruits are abysmal. Are our customers really that demanding? Don't they want us to make even a tiny bit of profit?"

Huang Musong shook his head self-deprecatingly.

He said this in a joking tone.

"God" naturally refers to customers, as fewer and fewer people are buying high-profit fruits these days.

High-profit fruits include durian, mangosteen, lychee, cherry...

"Actually, the customers are very nice. I think everyone is quite supportive of your Doro shop, boss. As for the decline in sales, the reason lies in the transportation, which is a problem with Caiyu Fresh Fruit Company." Shu Chu stammered when she was nervous, and didn't even dare to look up at Huang Musong. She hung her head like a primary school student admitting to a mistake.

Huang Musong had absolutely no intention of blaming Shu Chu.
He knew that the fruit store's declining performance had nothing to do with Shu Chu.

In fact, under Shu Chu's careful management, the sales of the main product, Ohrunji, in "Doro's Ohrunji Paradise" have been steadily increasing.

Huang Musong had even prepared a year-end bonus for Shu Chu in advance.

Just then, Su Qingyao returned from outside the store. As soon as she entered, she put down her shopping bag and complained, "What are truck drivers doing? They're selling a pound of Fuji apples for two yuan, which is several times cheaper than in our university supermarket, and the quality is even better."

"Ah~"

"Luckily, the oranges and tangerines are more expensive than in our store."

"Otherwise, who would buy fruit from our store?"

Su Qingyao took three apples out of the bag, wiped them with food-grade disinfectant wipes, and handed one to her boyfriend and one to Shu Chu.

She ate one herself.
The juice that seeped out when I took the first bite of the fruit almost stained my clothes.

The flesh is crisp, sweet, and juicy.

The quality is almost on par with those of special-supply items!
No matter how much a fruit shop tries to reduce costs and increase efficiency, it can never compete with the price that truck drivers pay when they buy directly from the source. After the green channel waives highway tolls, the only cost they have is fuel.

In the past, fruit shops typically had a profit margin of 45%-65%, while truck drivers who were only responsible for freight earned very little.

Nowadays, truck drivers source and sell their own goods, and their ultra-low prices are enough to drive fruit shops out of business.

Having identified the reason for this month's performance decline, Huang Musong smiled meaningfully.

Losing money is certainly upsetting.
But you should know that when the sky falls, the tallest person is bound to hold it up first.

Small shops, on the other hand, only need to keep up with the trends and make changes to have a chance to snatch market share from large enterprises.

"The recent decline in performance is a minor issue."

"Once I secure the land in your university advisor's village, ensuring a stable supply for Orunji, we'll expand into other fruit sectors next year. Now, you two come with me to take care of some business and visit that young lady's family to build some connections." Huang Musong said, gesturing for Shu Chu to quickly change her clothes, reminding her not to wear her work uniform when visiting.

Not long after,

Led by Shu Chu, Huang Musong and Su Qingyao arrived at the little girl's house before dark, a three-story detached house built by the villagers in a rural residential area on the edge of the town.

Little girl,
The owner of the water turtle,
She once helped the doro earn 10,000 yuan in pocket money.

In just over half a year, the water turtles have grown into water arrow-shaped turtles, and the male and female are about to reach the age of reproduction.

Before even entering the courtyard of the small villa, Huang Musong heard the sound of rushing water, like a small waterfall.

Only saw:

Two figures floated in the swimming pool in the yard.
The two water arrowheads were wary of Huang Musong and his two companions.

"Roar!"

The male turtle was robust, with a bluish-green carapace, and its eyes warily locked onto the visitors.

"Roar?"

The mother turtle was somewhat docile, her gaze falling on Shu Chu, and she let out a tentative low cry.

Clearly, the female tortoise still remembered Shuchu, and her calls were not hostile; the male tortoise, with its poor memory, only recognized her, and its territorial instincts drove it to guard its home.

The water arrows were hostile to them.

Huang Musong stopped outside the courtyard.

He released Kirullian while his girlfriend was on the phone contacting the little girl.

He threw the Poké Ball, and a flash of white light followed, leaving Huang Musong stunned for a long time. Only after his girlfriend hung up the phone and the little girl ran enthusiastically out of the mansion to greet him did Huang Musong finally come to his senses.

"Evolved?"

Looking at the graceful figure standing tall, Huang Musong was both surprised and delighted. He never expected that Kirlia would evolve into Shanedo inside the Poké Ball.

Shanaida is a beautiful and powerful pet.

Sanedor, being of the same level, is no less capable in combat than Arrowhead!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to borrow the Water Arrow Tortoise."

Huang Musong was talking to himself, and his voice was a bit loud, so the little girl could hear him clearly.

Su Qingyao quickly elbowed her boyfriend and pinched his waist in annoyance, "How rude! Miss Guo invited you to her house, and all you can think about is borrowing her water arrow?"

"Guo Xuan, please don't mind."

"Xiao Song is a workaholic; he only thinks about work. Sorry."

After saying that, Su Qingyao pinched her boyfriend again, urging him to say a few polite words quickly.

Huang Musong nodded and mumbled "uh-huh" in response.
Let's chat for a bit.

His attention remained fixed on Shanedo beside him.

Shanaida kept her eyes straight ahead, deliberately showing that she was ignoring Huang Musong, and was as aloof as an ice queen.

Outwardly aloof!

This is a common characteristic of the Shanedo race.

As for their inner personality, different sanedal peas have different characteristics. Huang Musong remembers that the one he cultivated was {afraid of loneliness}.

An inner fear of loneliness coupled with an outward aloofness—isn't that a stark contrast?
interesting!

Since it was inconvenient to communicate with Shanedo at the moment, Huang Musong followed Guo Xuan into her home and participated in the family dinner as a guest.

After dinner, after a round of mutual flattery, Guo Xuan's parents and grandparents each made excuses to leave.

Only Huang Musong, Guo Xuan, and two others remained in the living room.
Huang Musong seized the opportunity to reveal his true purpose for visiting today.

"You're in the first year of junior high, and school ends early tomorrow. Could you bring two water slugs with you to the north of the city? There's a beetle-like pet in the orchard there, and I'm planning to tame it. I need the water slugs to help with the battle."

"Insect-type pets are super effective against Psychic-type pets, while Shanedo or Metal Monster are super effective against Heracross."

"There is no type advantage/disadvantage relationship between the Water-type Blastoise and the Bug/Fighting-type Heracross."

"So..."

Huang Musong's request is not unreasonable.

Guo Xuan believes there is no reason to refuse.

So she readily agreed and agreed to take the two water lizards to the north of the city the next day.

The morning of the second day
In the world of Tivat, Doro and Pina, led by Xiangling, arrive at Liyue Harbor.

Liyue, a city built by the sea, is full of ancient charm.

Standing on a high hill outside Liyue Harbor, Doro's eyes widened, and he let out a series of "Wow wow wow" exclamations.

Just like in the painting!

Pina's pupils reflected the scenery of Liyue Harbor like mirrors.

It also greatly admires the magnificent scenery of Liyue Harbor.

Born and raised in Liyue, this is Xiangling's hometown.

Seeing that both Doro and Pina liked Liyue, Xiangling proudly put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest, giggling, "How about it? Was it worth the two days of travel? Come on! Follow me to Wanmin Hall, let my old man help out, and I, the master chef, will personally show you my skills."

Xiangling tiptoed, turning back every few steps, her steps light and bouncy.

Doro looked at Pina, and Pina glanced at Doro.

The two little ones hit it off immediately!
"Here we come~"

"Wait for us~"

Doro and Pina, hand in hand, caught up with Xiangling, their laughter blending into the bustling prosperity of Liyue Harbor… (End of Chapter)
