Chapter 8 Orange Babu Spider
Finally, Luo Feng reached an agreement with the young manager of the lighting store.
The other party claimed that the matter could be completed within three days.
Things are easier if you pay.
Paying more money can get things done faster.
This is actually a reasonable principle that applies no matter where you look at it.
Luo Feng simply left the kerosene lamp with them, agreeing to pick it up in three days.
After that, he rode his electric scooter to a landmark department store in Chiang Mai.
That place wasn't too far from here; it was a shopping center for locals. Luo Feng had his eye on it because there was a pet store there.
He had visited the store once before. It wasn't the usual pet store that sold cats and dogs; instead, it specialized in exotic pets such as American salamanders, Sulcata tortoises, sugar gliders, barred owls, and red-handed monkeys.
In Thailand, keeping exotic pets is a trend, and many young people follow the trend and like to keep unusual animals.
Luo Feng wasn't sure if he could find crows, but at least he could ask at this kind of shop. There are crows in Chiang Mai, but it would be a bit much to ask him to catch them himself.
Upon arriving at the pet store, as soon as I pushed open the door, I heard the voice of a female employee.
"Hello, welcome."
The female shop assistant was a pretty, sweet Thai girl.
"Is there anything you need, sir?"
She wore her hair in a bun, and her outfit had a slightly Japanese Mori Girl style.
Young people in Thailand love to follow trends, taking Western and Korean fashion as their fashion. Girls on the street are all wearing Korean makeup. Suddenly, a girl dressed like a Japanese girl appears, which is quite refreshing.
Luo Feng glanced at her, then looked around the shop and noticed that there were a few other customers besides himself. The pet shop was quite large, mainly selling reptiles, with a few bird pets, such as parrots.
He glanced around and saw that the store mainly sold reptile enclosures for both hot and cold environments, containing snakes, lizards, and turtles of various colors.
"I have a question."
Luo Feng asked directly.
"Do you sell crows at your shop?"
The female shop assistant tilted her head in confusion.
"A crow?"
Seeing her expression, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Crows are not particularly popular pet birds, so this store probably doesn't sell them either.
"Um...we really don't sell crows."
The female shop assistant smiled and said, "However, if you really need help, I can call our boss, and he might be able to help you."
"Can."
Luo Feng nodded.
The female shop assistant quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number.
The call connected quickly, and the girl chatted with the person on the other end for a few minutes before handing the phone to Luo Feng.
"Hello, sir."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.
"I'm the owner of this shop, you can call me Sarandon."
The middle-aged man, who called himself Salandong, spoke politely. He asked Luo Feng, "I heard from Lisa that you want a crow as a pet. What kind of crow do you need? Is it a large-billed crow, a small-billed crow, a bush crow, a house crow, a jackdaw...?"
He named several different species of crows.
"These are some of the crow species we can offer you. Some of the rarer subspecies are harder to find... Also, we are a legitimate pet store and only do legal business. We do not sell endangered species or legally protected breeds."
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng frowned slightly.
"The breed doesn't matter, I just need to get a crow as soon as possible."
"Then the common big-billed crow will do."
Sarandon added, "Captive-bred large-billed crows cost around 5000 baht, which is about the same price as common pet parrots. It's not expensive. However, some subspecies can cost over 10,000 baht..."
"it is good."
Luo Feng felt that this price was perfectly acceptable.
"Oh, right."
Sarandon quickly said, "If you're not in a hurry to leave, please wait in the shop for three hours. I'll have someone deliver it to you after three hours."
"Will it take three hours?"
Luo Feng didn't think there was any problem.
"Okay, sure."
"Then I'll make the arrangements now."
Sarandon hung up the phone.
"Three hours?"
Luo Feng muttered to himself.
"Sir, if you don't mind... you might want to rest in the rest area over here for a while."
The shop assistant's name was Lisa. Seeing that Luo Feng and Salandon had reached an agreement on the crow's matter, she became even more attentive.
Would you like some coffee?
"Ah, sure."
"I'll go and get you a cup of coffee."
Lisa asked Luo Feng what kind of coffee he wanted, then turned around and went to prepare it.
Luo Feng went to the rest area and sat down on a sofa.
The so-called rest area in this store is just a few sofas and chairs placed on the edge of the reptile area, along with a glass coffee table.
The air conditioner next to him was a bit cold, so Luo Feng sat down for a while, then stood up again. He went to the various sizes of terrariums and began to observe the different reptiles in the store.
He could recognize butterfly lizards, blue-tongued skinks, crested geckos, hognose snakes, corn snakes, horned frogs, temple turtles and several different types of turtles, as well as some reptiles, but there were others he had no idea what they were.
"So, besides reptiles, the store also carries arthropods?"
Through the glass of the box, Luo Feng also saw a giant Vietnamese centipede. This centipede with red legs was huddled in a corner. On the other side, there were several glass breeding boxes containing scorpions and spiders.
Finally, his gaze fell upon another box covered in spiderwebs, where a beautiful spider was huddled up.
The spider was entirely orange, its colors vibrant, and it sat motionless beneath its spun web.
"Mr. Luo, here's your coffee."
The shop assistant, Lisa, brought over a cup of coffee and handed it to Luo Feng. As he thanked her, Lisa continued, "This is an orange baboon spider, a type of African tarantula that originally lived in Tanzania. This spider is fierce and can prey on animals several times its own size."
"Orange Babu...how much does this spider cost?"
Luo Feng asked her.
"Guest, are you planning to keep a spider as a pet?"
Lisa said, "If you are a beginner and have never kept spiders before, I suggest choosing a more docile tarantula, such as the golden tarantula, the red rose tarantula, or the blue tarantula. These types are easy to handle and are non-venomous. Once you are familiar with their habits, they are very easy to keep."
"No, I just really like this spider."
Luo Feng inquired about the price and found that it wasn't too high.
This female orange baboon costs less than 1,000 baht, and comes with free supplies.
Luo Feng didn't hesitate much. He paid the money readily and asked the shop assistant some questions about keeping spiders. He also added her as a friend on the way.
"I've kept spiders, scorpions, and centipedes before... but recently I've been keeping snakes. If Mr. Luo has any questions, feel free to ask me anytime."
"Thank you so much."
Luo Feng smiled and thanked him.
However, it seems that the shop assistant, Lisa, has misunderstood one thing: he has absolutely no interest in spiders.
Luo Feng bought the spider purely to use it for refining "Gu".
Just now, the Reincarnation Gu gave him a brief message: this orange Babu spider can be considered a top-quality "Gu seed".
Gu seeds are essential for refining live Gu.
"Live Gu" refers to a type of Gu made from living creatures. Various animals, such as venomous snakes, centipedes, lizards, earthworms, and toads, can all serve as carriers for live Gu.
As Luo Feng approached the orange Babu spider, a reminder message inexplicably appeared in his mind.
That was a hint from the Reincarnation Gu mark, informing him that this bird-catching spider was qualified to become a Gu seed.
[Hint: This is a spider suitable to become a Gu seed. Try to obtain it and cultivate it into a suitable Gu worm (you will receive a corresponding reward after completing the live Gu)]
The information that followed was surprisingly about how to cultivate spider worms.
Luo Feng read it carefully and found that he needed to collect specific Gu materials and then feed them to the spider, or let certain spirit Gu fuse with it, in order to successfully cultivate it.
[Note: Utilizing the temporary constitution of a 'Gu Master' to cultivate Gu worms will increase the success rate...]
Luo Feng also realized that the "Gu Master" physique was indeed a superior one.
"I'll find another opportunity to study it properly later..."
