Change jobs, pet beast!

I misjudged it.

I shouldn't have yelled so loudly just now. The blond guy is pretty handsome, only slightly less so than the young two-legged beast...

The spittoon was submerged in the pale red boiling water, swimming like a dog, its eyes becoming increasingly unfocused and dazed.

This process takes about twenty minutes.

Wait until the water becomes lighter in color.

Cheng Zhengqi began to weaken the control over the water flow.

The troll suddenly woke up, pushed off with his heel, and leaped out.

"Woof?"

Knowing that the other party is a translator, the trolls can ask questions on their own.

"You're asking about the next step?"

Cheng Zhengqi listened attentively and then politely replied, "I'll dry your hair first, then massage your acupoints to help you relax completely."

Upon hearing this, the troll looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle and nodded coolly.

Today, Doggy is truly a grandpa.

Because I spent money!

Now that we've gotten through the worst part...

Let's just enjoy the rest! Aww~

……

Watching Cheng Zhengqi manipulate the light blue water snake to absorb the water molecules deposited in the dog's fur.

Then, putting on an unusually large pair of heat-resistant gloves, I massaged the sprayer's head, back, and limbs...

Soaking in the hot water, He Zhifeng, with a rosy complexion and a relaxed expression, leisurely commented:

"Young master, this kid isn't as bad as he seems. He even knows how to use external things to make up for his shortcomings. He's so willing to spend so much, we've actually made a profit."

Jiang Mo nodded.

He leaned against the edge of the pool, the water rippling gently, letting the warmth seep into his bones, creating a lazy and tranquil atmosphere.

He glanced at the clock embedded in the wall; it was exactly one hour.

The soaking time is almost over; it's time to get down to business.

But Cheng Zhengqi clearly had no intention of stopping immediately; he was still helping the critics by pressing their feet.

He was already drenched in sweat from exhaustion, having not yet unlocked the Level 2 ability "Beastly Palms" for bathhouse attendants.

Meanwhile, the troll—with its small eyes squinting and its tail swishing unconsciously—was incredibly comfortable, a stark contrast to its earlier death-defying state.

"Woof!"

Finally, the troll stood up, stretched his backside, and howled like a wolf king, sweeping away his laziness and bursting with heroic spirit.

After dressing again, Jiang Mo handed over two copper spirit stones and said with a smile, "This is your reward."

"Huh? Pet bathing, Masters come along for free, one more person won't hurt..."

Cheng Zhengqi still wanted to stick to his pricing standards.

Meeting those clear, light blue eyes, he was momentarily stunned, and for some reason, he fell silent.

"Take it, your service was excellent, you're the most dedicated Level 1 bathhouse attendant I've ever seen."

Jiang Mo paused for a moment, then said frankly:

"But I'm curious, do you spare no expense in providing service to every guest who comes here?"

He Zhifeng quietly pricked up his ears.

Then came Cheng Zhengqi's hesitant but still relatively calm reply:

"No, one reason is that I really don't have the ability to entertain fire-type pets."

"Another one, the Golden Toad Hot Spring is about to close down, but we still have a batch of spiritual materials left. I thought I'd give back to our new and old customers and thank everyone for their support over the years..."

"Why not continue operating? Are you too tired and planning to take a break?"

Jiang Mo's gaze was clear and undisguised, as if he were asking a casual question between friends.

"Sigh, I didn't want to either."

Cheng Zhengqi took off his gloves and sighed:

"Jin Chan is the legacy left by my grandfather. I promised him that I would run it well and do my best to maintain the reputation of the No. 1 bathhouse in Kujing Village."

"but……"

"But I'm not capable enough. The villagers in Kujing Village who are willing to spend money to bathe are now almost entirely monopolized by Qiulong Hot Spring."

"I have no business here, I'm not making any money. Forget about the First Bathhouse, I can barely afford to eat. This stagnation can't go on forever..."

[Wish Triggered: The Most Popular Bathhouse in Dry Well Village!]

Difficulty level: 3

[Evaluation: Ambitious to dominate the bathhouse industry and determined to make it bigger and stronger, but unfortunately lacking in ability.]

Is that all?

Jiang Mo was a little surprised, but upon reflection, it made sense.

Unfortunately, the several backup lines I had prepared were never used...

Jiang Mo's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile, and he suddenly said:

"If it's just about reviving the Golden Toad, perhaps we can cooperate."

"what?"

Cheng Zhengqi hadn't originally planned to have a deep conversation.

Having finally closed a deal after five days, he felt a little urge to vent and had to get it off his chest.

But isn't this the wrong topic?

Cooperation? Cooperation in what way?

"Actually, I'm also good at scrubbing myself in the bath."

With a casual gesture, Jiang Mo summoned a deep blue water snake that silently swam to his side.

The smooth snake body coiled around his forearm and waist, its head resting lightly on his shoulder, displaying both the gentle agility of a small animal and the fierce sharpness of a beast protecting its master.

"You're running around doing everything yourself, but you're not up to the task."

"I can help you; we can discuss the profit sharing."

Jiang Mo spoke methodically.

Cheng Zhengqi's breath hitched, and he stared in astonishment at the male customer who had not brought a contracted pet, as if struck by lightning.

Dark blue...

It was as agile as if a python had come to life...

This is clearly a hallmark of a bathhouse attendant's enhanced Level 1 ability, "Clean Water Flow," after advancing to Level 2... They're actually in the same profession? And even more skilled than him? Didn't he just make a fool of himself?

Cheng Zhengqi's mind was a complete mess, and he stammered:

"I've heard that an elderly person and a young person have recently moved into Kujing Village."

"I'm so glad you're willing to come to the Golden Toad Bathing Center. I've tried my best to provide service, hoping to leave a good impression... so that when the Golden Toad closes down next month, one or two more people in the world will remember that it once existed..."

Jiang Mo didn't catch the point and said bluntly, "I'm not greedy for money, a 50/50 split is fine. I mainly want to find a place to train my powers."

"And a public bathhouse is clearly the best choice."

"You might want to think about it carefully."

"Uh..." Cheng Zhengqi suddenly fell silent.

Two seconds later, he looked up at Jiang Mo, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes, which was then replaced by a sense of detachment.

A very young Level 2 bathhouse attendant.

With his help, the Golden Toad can make up for its lack of high-level bath attendants, and in terms of basic strength, it will at least not fall too far behind the Dragon.

If a few more activities are planned, logically speaking, it's entirely possible to steal some customers away from Qiulong.

but……

Cheng Zhengqi sighed, shook his head firmly, and said:

"I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness."

"However, the problems facing the Golden Toad cannot be solved simply by adding a Level 2 bath attendant. You should find another place to train your abilities."

After saying that, Cheng Zhengqi gestured for them to leave, preparing to guide the old man and the young man out.

Jiang Mo blinked, sat down on the couch, and pretended not to see anything.

He's already come all this way, and he's already made his wishes, so why is he just going to leave like this? Is he really that thin-skinned?

"Young man, you don't know this."

Cheng Zhengqi had no choice but to drop a bombshell:

"Qiu Long is in cahoots with Zhao Baogang. This man is greedy, lustful, arrogant and unruly, but because he is willing to risk his life, he has won the trust of the second chief of Kujing Village. He can be considered his right-hand man."

"What's more troublesome is that Zhao Baogang is likely to advance to the second level of the Soul Realm within the next two or three years, at which time he will become the fourth chief of Kujing Village."

"Now he's declaring that everyone should go to Qiulong Bathhouse for a soak and bath, who would dare to object openly?"

"Many uncles and elders who have watched me grow up are willing to sneak over late at night to patronize my business, and I am already very grateful... but this is not a long-term solution."

Cheng Zhengqi paused, then said sadly:

"So, I'd better shut down the golden toad so as not to implicate my uncles and elders, and even more so, not to drag you all down with me."

"Otherwise, if we really anger Zhao Baogang, we'll have to live in constant fear when we go hunting... Why bother?"
