The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Chapter 345 The Doro Band is Being Formed

at the same time
Second floor, study.

Dorothy sat at the computer desk with her big eyes wide open, intently operating the mouse and typing on the keyboard.

The phone stand is positioned to the side, and a tutorial video is playing on TikTok.

Gunshots from the game emanated from the speakers on either side of the computer screen…

Early in the morning, after sending a voice message to Huang Musong, the Dorothys had nothing to do, so they each found something to amuse themselves. Dorothy went to find Pina; Donas went to the gym to practice boxing; and Dorothy went to the study to read.

There are relatively few new books; most of them are textbooks Su Qingyao used in high school, and the academic content is beyond Dorothy's current understanding.

The Four Great Classical Novels that people buy are in classical Chinese.

Reading classic works requires a full day of quiet study.

Short, fragmented moments are not suitable for reading classic literature.

So Dorothy turned her attention to the computer; she had never used a human desktop computer before!

Climbing onto the chair, Dorothy eagerly pressed the power button, then looked down at the keyboard.

"The 26 keys of the English alphabet are exactly the same as the keys for typing on a mobile phone. Most games use WASD to control the character's movement, and there are also types that use a mouse to control movement. The learning curve isn't too steep." Dorothy muttered to herself, her little paws gently stroking the neatly arranged letter keys, her ears perked up to enjoy the crisp clicking of the keycaps.

The new computer runs fast, booting up in just 10 seconds.

Dorothy was randomly typing on the keyboard.
It just so happens that it touches the [Enter] key.
The login authentication page immediately displays a 'Password Incorrect' message pop-up.

Seeing the pop-up window, Dorothy stopped typing and carefully read every word on the current page, tilting her head in thought. "Oh? Someone actually set a password on the computer! Who could it be? Hmm... that makes sense, the performance of a few small shops is a trade secret, so setting a password on the computer is normal."

"I don't want to cause trouble for people's work, so I'll apply for a new account specifically for researching or playing games."

"What? I need a password to register an account? That's no problem for me."

Faced with another password input screen, Dorothy tried typing in Doro's birthday, but it showed an error. She then entered Huang Musong's own birthday.

Donas's birthday...

My birthday...

Sister Su's birthday...

If none of them are correct, then take three months and three days of each birthday, and then arrange and combine them!
Dorothy used her intelligence and successfully cracked the login password in less than two minutes.

The screen displays a message indicating that the new account application was successful and the initial page has loaded.

Dorothy blushed slightly and pursed her lips shyly.

It was both touched and embarrassed by the correct password.

Turning her head, Dorothy glanced at the family photo frame on the table and murmured, "The password is actually a combination of the month and date of {Dolo + me + Donas}'s birthday? How thoughtful of them, hehe~."

Eyes fixed on the family photo,
He stared at the photo for a long time.

Dorothy then refocused on trying to play on the desktop computer.

As the most intelligent Dorothy, learning to use a computer was only slightly more difficult for her than learning to use a mobile phone; she mastered it in just a few minutes.

Furthermore, using the computer with a new account will not affect Huang Musong's work files or Su Qingyao's course files.

Dorothy downloaded games arbitrarily based on the trending topics on TikTok...

With a fast internet connection, the game installation was completed in ten minutes, and Dorothy opened "Island Run" to try it out.

Parachute, loot gear, run from the gas and engage in gunfights.

Dorothy swept through the entire N Port container area like a war goddess!

Level 3 helmets, bulletproof vests, airdropped supplies, and ghillie suits were all acquired.

"I really am gifted!"

Just before the poison circle closed in, Dorothy controlled her game character to drive an off-road vehicle toward the safe zone.

As the poison circle shrank, but the probability of encountering enemies did not increase, Dorothy gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Is the first game a newbie perk?!"

"Are the enemies all bots?"

Dorothy scratched her head in confusion, moved the mouse, raised her gun, aimed at the enemy on the screen, and instantly killed them with a headshot from her AWM sniper rifle.

right now
Huang Musong pushed open the door and entered the study.
Dorothy, like a kitten caught red-handed, instinctively shuddered, somewhat startled.

Dorothy hurriedly released the mouse and keyboard, stood up from her chair, and prepared to apologize.

Although she applied for a new computer account to avoid affecting her work files, Dorothy still believed that it was wrong to use Huang Musong's computer without authorization, and that she should sincerely admit her mistake.

The little one's reaction was overly tense.

Huang Musong gently ruffled Dorothy's fluffy head.

He paused for a moment before speaking, then whistled and reminded, "We're about to enter the final round, why don't you find cover and lie down? You play first, and after you finish a game, go downstairs and eat some roasted sweet potatoes. Don't get too addicted to games."

"Oh yes!"

"Don't touch the D drive. It contains your sister Su's study materials and my work files, including the photos I usually take for you, which are stored on the E drive."

"You can use drive F to download games."

After saying that, Huang Musong patted Dorothy's head again, then left the study and went downstairs.

Watching the person leave the room
Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.

Its lips slowly curved from a happy smile to an undisguised joyful grin.

Dorothy sat down again, humming a cheerful tune as she controlled her game character to storm into the heart of the final circle and seize key positions.

"Anyway, the first game is against bots..."

"Hurry up and finish it!"

"Let's go downstairs for roasted sweet potatoes!"

Not long after, Dorothy eliminated the last AI opponent and easily won the beginner's bonus game.

Shut down your computer, return the keyboard and mouse to their original positions, and unplug the power strip.

Dorothy skipped and hopped out of the study and headed to the large living room on the first floor of the villa.

Slide down the stairs along the handrail.

Spin and pose upon landing

Dorothy is just like a cheerful little fox.

After several minutes, Pina, Doraemon, and Donas had eaten and drunk their fill and were lying sprawled out on the sofa, letting their bellies bulge.

Donas ate quickly and the most, and kept burping.

Obviously,

Today's lunch was really enjoyable.

The amount of food consumed by a person is more than that of many adult men, consisting of 3 small sweet potatoes, 1 large sweet potato, 1 baked potato, and 1 baked corn.

This is without counting half a bottle of milk.

Pure milk, one bottle is 2L, half a bottle is a full 1L!

Donas's capacity for tolerance is like a bottomless pit.
Huang Musong was afraid that it would eat too much and cause bloating and discomfort.

“If you keep eating, you’ll be lying on the ground screaming for help soon. Give me a sip of vinegar to aid digestion.” Huang Musong found some digestive tablets, put them in Donas’s mouth, and then poured her a small dish of rice vinegar to help with digestion.

Seeing her friend's belly bulging from eating, Dorothy giggled and patted his belly as she ate her roasted carrot.

Although she was full and temporarily unable to move, Donas's arms remained flexible.

With a wave of his hand,
Donas brushed Dorothy's paw away.

It refused to have its belly patted by the other party.

After taking care of the three little ones, Huang Musong started to eat something. The brunch he bought for himself was ready-to-eat chicken breast with large loaves of rye bread.

Chicken breast is edible, but not very tasty.

The doro don't covet the special treatment they receive.

Chicken breast doesn't smell as good as roasted sweet potato.
If you could grill the boiled eggs over charcoal before brushing them with sauce, they would definitely taste better than roasted sweet potatoes. It's a pity I don't know when I'll be able to eat roasted sweet potatoes again...

Donas sighed sadly and turned to lie on her side.

Hearing the little guy sigh, Huang Musong thought it was uncomfortable from being too full, so he quickly helped rub its belly.

Cover most of your belly with your palms, first clockwise, then counterclockwise.

The force was just right.

Huang Musong manually helped Donas digest, while flicking its forehead with his other hand, scolding it: "You get greedy as soon as you see something delicious. Now you know how uncomfortable it is to be full, right? Eating so much in one go, it's no wonder you feel uncomfortable. From now on, you are only allowed to eat until you are 80% full at each meal."

Considering that the Doro didn't eat breakfast today,
I didn't eat dinner last night.

At 10:30 a.m., it shouldn't be considered breakfast or lunch; describing it as brunch seems more appropriate.

It's equivalent to eating three meals in one meal.

Huang Musong then allowed them to eat more.

But who would have thought that Donas had no idea how much she ate, and that she wouldn't be satisfied until her stomach was so full that she couldn't walk?

As her bulging belly was massaged, Donas let out a couple of contented hums, then rolled over, thoroughly enjoying herself. "Who knows when we'll get to eat baked potatoes again? Dorothy told you to buy an oven, but you only bought an air fryer, you cheapskate... *burp*"

Upon hearing this, Huang Musong

He shook his head helplessly.
He wanted to explain but also admitted that Donas was quite right.

The reason I didn't buy an oven wasn't because I was stingy, but because my budget was simply too limited.

Currently, the boxing gym is not profitable, but fortunately there are no additional losses. The milk tea shop generates approximately 5 yuan per month in revenue, with 4 yuan after tax. The two self-operated fruit shops generate a net profit of around 7 yuan, but after deducting Shu Chu's salary and the pocket money and stock dividends for the Doro members, only a little over 3 yuan remains after tax.

He received nearly 4 yuan, which meant that Su Qingyao would also receive 4 yuan, minus the installment loan amount of 8 yuan.

The remaining 3 is enough for one month's living expenses!

High-end ovens often cost several thousand yuan, which is really unaffordable for me, at least not in the near future.

but,

Huang Musong didn't want the Doro fans to worry about this.
He feigned nonchalance and argued with Donas, "Ovens aren't safe. What if you get burned if I'm not home one day and you use the oven without permission? An air fryer is just fine; it's enough to bake potatoes. You can make do with it for now."

Donas is playful and mischievous, but she's not unreasonable; upon reflection, her words make sense.

"OK then."

"Let's use the air fryer first."

"Actually, the oven is so big that even if we bought it, we probably wouldn't be able to use it properly."

After saying that, Donas yawned, feeling sleepy even though she had just finished eating.

Doro and Pina, who had remained silent, were even more drowsy.

I just woke up, and I already feel sleepy again. Sigh...

Doraemon pondered and closed his eyes heavily.

When I opened my eyes, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

Doro sat up groggily on the sofa, his mind blank as he looked around the large living room.

The fairy beast floated by. Seeing its little master wake up, it softly reminded him, "Someone said he might not be coming home tonight; he's going to sign a contract for a fruit franchise store. There's a 100-yuan red envelope on WeChat, and every little master gets one. He'll be back before noon tomorrow, so you'll have to buy your own breakfast or make it yourself."

These are Huang Musong's original words.
Minor changes

The Flower Fairy Beast simply changed the first-person narration to a third-person paraphrase.

Realizing that someone had gone off to do something else, Doro nodded and obediently turned on the TV to watch cartoons to pass the time.

On the sofa, Donas was still fast asleep. Pina only opened her eyes when she heard rustling voices beside her.

"It hurts~"

Having slept for too long, Pina felt sore, numb, and weak all over. Her murmurs of pain sounded more like expressions of comfort.

Pina jumped off the sofa and strolled around the living room a few times, stretching her limbs.

I went to the kitchen and brought back a kettle.
Pina poured Doraemon a glass of warm water.

A glass of water after waking up, warm and comforting to the stomach.

After drinking the water, Doraemon jumped off the sofa and went to the balcony to admire the snow.

Ah!
The snow is still there, it hasn't melted, so it should be able to stay for a long time.

Nodding contentedly, Dorothy suddenly realized that Dorothy wasn't in the living room. Had she gone to the study to play games or read books again?
Going upstairs, Dorothy pushed open the study door, but there was no sign of her inside.

"Dorothy? Where are you?"

Dorothy went out of the study to the bedroom, but still couldn't find her. So Dorothy turned around and went into the equipment room.

Similarly, Dorothy wasn't in the equipment room, nor in the restroom.

Dorothy is not in the villa!

"Could it have been taken out to work by someone?"

Doraemon was quite disappointed that he couldn't go out with the others. Luckily, Donas and Pina were at home, so he wasn't too lonely. Doraemon happily ran down the stairs back to the living room.

Just then, Doro came down the stairs and heard the door open.

I assumed it was because someone had finished work early and was going home.

Doraemon excitedly ran over to greet him.

As a result, Dorothy came back from outside with a stack of A4 papers.

"what?"

"Not human..."

With its ears drooping, Doraemon pouted in frustration, its once excited gaze dimming considerably.

Putting down the sheet music and taking off her down jacket, Dorothy leaned closer to Doraemon with a meaningful look, and teased him with a heartbroken expression: "It wasn't a person coming home, it was actually me coming back from outside. Are you disappointed by the situation? So sad, boohoo~."

Dorothy deliberately teases Doraemon.

Realizing his companion was joking, Dorothy smiled again, scratching his head a little awkwardly: "No~. I'd be really happy if Dorothy came back! Eh? Dorothy, what's that piece of white paper you brought back? Did you go out shopping?"

Filled with curiosity, Doraemon unfolded the sheet music to observe it and try to understand its contents.

"These are sheet music."

Dorothy, without keeping everyone in suspense, explained directly: "Remember when we were planning to form the band Doro? When I just woke up, they had already left the house, while you guys were still asleep."

"I asked Iron Dumbbell to search for nearby music stores and buy a complete children's drum set. The owner will deliver it in half an hour."

"I bought the sheet music from a music store; a set of sheet music cost eighty yuan."

"I bought three sets of sheet music. The 240 yuan was yesterday's stock gains, so the sheet music was essentially free."

"However, the whole drum set is a bit pricey."

"A thousand yuan is more than half of my saved pocket money."

"I hope Donas can learn it."

As she spoke, Dorothy waved to Iron Dumbbell, signaling it to open the harmonica storage bag.

An accordion costs 300 yuan, which is much cheaper than a drum set.

Having just moved into their new home, Su Qingyao hadn't yet bought the piano she had promised Dorothy; the keys of the harmonica were almost identical to those of a piano.

Dorothy plans to try using the harmonica as her personal instrument.

Doro remembered about forming a band.
But it was curious why Dorothy had suddenly decided to form a band today.

According to normal logic,

Dorothy is probably more interested in computer games today.
What made you decide to start a band?

With a pair of big, curious eyes, Dorothy took the sheet music and went back into the living room.

Walking beside Dorothy, Dorothy took out her phone to show the WeChat red envelope and analyzed, "I think people seem to be experiencing an economic crisis lately! Have you noticed that people are giving each of us a hundred dollars in red envelopes, but only enough for two meals? Hmm... I'm not complaining that it's too little, the pocket money people give us is more than enough, I'm just comparing this time with their previous actions."

“In the past, people would wait until the next morning to send each of us a 100-yuan red envelope, instead of 100 yuan to cover two meals.”

"Since people are facing an economic crisis, besides trying to save money, shouldn't we also try to earn more money within our means?"

"For example—forming a band! Live-streaming performances! Selling products through shop windows!"

While explaining,
As he walked toward the sofa,
Dorothy shouted loudly at the still-sleeping Lazy Ro.

Startled awake by the piercing noise, Donas sprang up like a spring, standing defensively on the sofa and looking down at Dorothy.
