Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Hoshino, Kiyo had no choice but to first figure out what to buy after the ten million arrived in his account.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure darting out from around the corner of the corridor.

He instinctively turned his head and saw a fluffy little white dog running towards him.

Its four short legs moved swiftly, with something dangling from its mouth.

He fixed his eyes.

Good heavens, that's a necklace, with an intricate chain.

The pendant is a deep blue gemstone with an extremely exquisite cutting technique.

Even a slight reflection of the light can make your eyes water.

This thing looks very valuable, worth at least several zeros.

Qi Ye jumped up and rushed to the little white dog in two quick steps.

He straddled the road with both legs, put his hands on his hips, and struck an extremely solemn pose.

He looked down at the white woolen dumpling that wasn't even as tall as his calf and cleared his throat.

He spoke in a condescending, old-fashioned tone.

"Young man! This kind of opportunity is not something you can grasp!"

"Hurry up and hand the necklace over to the Ancestor, and the Ancestor will guarantee you can walk with impunity on the space station from now on!"

Pepe stopped, tilted her head to look at him, and wagged her tail.

"You little dog, how can you be so ungrateful!"

Qi Ye squatted down, lowered his voice, and adopted a serious expression.

"What do you think you're holding in your mouth? That's a treasure left behind by a great being!"

With your current cultivation level, you probably wouldn't even be able to digest dog food if you tried to force it!

This thing is destined for me. Ancestor, I see that you have extraordinary talent and will surely achieve great things in the future. But fate is something that cannot be forced.

Put down the necklace first, and the ancestor will bestow upon you a great fortune one day! Plenty of dog food, how about that?

Pepe's tail paused for a moment, as if it were listening intently.

Qi Ye was overjoyed and reached out to take the necklace.

Pepe took a step back.

"Hey you little rascal—I've already said all I need to say!"

Qi Ye grew anxious and moved closer, then changed his approach, putting his hands together in prayer with a devout expression.

"How about this? The ancestor will teach you a set of mental techniques."

You'll be incredibly popular with dogs on the space station, and Astara will give you extra food every day.

Give me the necklace first, and I'll teach you the inner cultivation method right now. Listen carefully:

Dog, dog, stride forward, strutting sideways in the space station.

Clap your hands, spin around three times, and the stationmaster will open your can!

He clapped and spun around as he recited, and on his second lap...

A light screen suddenly popped up in front of me.

[System notification: The system has detected that the host is using strange language to bargain with a dog.]

The system cannot recognize the host's current mental state.

To alleviate the host's awkward situation, the thoughtful little system automatically matched a suitable light cone.

[Light Cone Name: "Knowledge of All Things"]

Rarity: ★★★★

[Ability: After wearing it, the wearer can understand the languages ​​of all non-human beings.]

And to communicate with them without barriers. The scope of coverage includes, but is not limited to:

Mammals, birds, fish, insects, and some plants.

[Unlimited duration]

[Side effect: During the wearing period, when the wearer communicates with non-human beings, their language will be switched to the other party's language.]

Specifically, every time a human word is spoken, it automatically turns into a dog bark.

The intonation and rhythm are incredibly lifelike. [Uncontrollable and unpredictable]

【Friendly reminder: It is recommended to use this product at zoos or pet stores.】

It is not recommended to wear it in social situations.

Unless you want to show your friends what a real dog whisperer is like.

Qi Ye stared at the screen in silence for a long while.

He couldn't help but think to himself:

"System, why are you firing these light cones more and more frequently?"

[System prompt: Based on the host's behavior patterns and light cone sales data.]

As long as the host remains active, the system will continue to supply light cones of the corresponding style.

"..."

Qi Ye stared at the screen, speechless.

He casually glanced down at the little white dog in front of him, which was carrying a necklace and looking at him with its head tilted.

After a moment of silence, his standard business smile reappeared on his face.

"Little guy, you're lucky."

"My ancestor happens to have a wonderful item here, specially prepared for you."

He flipped his palm over, and the light cone card that said "Knowledge of All Things" appeared.

"Wear this, and you'll become the number one trendy dog ​​in the universe, capable of seamlessly socializing with any species."

At that point, not only will you be able to ask the stationmaster for canned food, but you'll also be able to date the gorillas in the neighboring lab.

So, are you tempted?

Pepe stared at the card for a few seconds, then wagged its tail.

Qi Ye: "Stop wagging your tail, are you going to buy it or not?"

Pepe wagged her tail again.

Qiye: "..."

He suddenly realized a very real problem.

He couldn't understand what the dog was saying, and the dog couldn't understand what he was saying either.

To discuss business, you at least need to be able to have a conversation first.

He took a deep breath and slapped the light cone against himself.

The light streamed into my chest, but I didn't feel anything special.

Peipei: "Woof woof, why is this person acting like a silly dog? Woof!"

Qi Ye's smile froze.

He looked down at the innocent-looking little white dog and said incredulously:

Did you just call me a stupid dog?

Pepe's tail paused for a moment, and its ears perked up, clearly surprised that this human could understand it.

Qi Ye: "I'm asking you a question. Are you calling me a stupid dog?"

Peipei: "Woof woof, woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

(If you can understand what I'm saying, you still say you're not a stupid dog?)

"You dog, do you even have any manners?"

Qi Ye was furious.

"Our ancestor kindly gave you this opportunity, and you turn around and call him a dog?!"

Not to be outdone, Pepe took a step forward, tilted her head back, and barked a series of calls at him:

"Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof—woof woof woof!"

(You blocked my way, stole my things, and now you expect me to call you ancestor? Are you a dog or am I the dog?!)

Enraged, Qi Ye forgot all about the light cone effect, put his hands on his hips, and retorted with a string of words to Pei Pei.

But he forgot the side effect: in other people's eyes, what he said when he talked to animals would automatically turn into dog barks.

So, from the side, the scene looks like this:

A man stood with his hands on his hips, facing a small white dog.

It let out a series of clear and distinct barks.

Pepe was stunned.

In all its long life, this was the first time it had ever seen a human imitate a dog's bark so perfectly.

"...Woof woof?" (Are you a human or a dog?)

Qi Ye: "Woof woof woof woof!" (What do you care if I'm a human or a dog!)

Peipei: "Woof woof woof woof!" (She imitated it quite well!)

Qi Ye: "Woof! Woof woof woof!" (Nonsense! The Ancestor is exceptionally gifted!)

The barking of a person and a dog echoed through the corridor, growing more intense and faster with each bark.

It eventually turned into a real argument.

Peipei jumped forward and called out three times, while Qiye bent down and called out four times in response.

Peipei circled around him and barked, and Qiye also circled around it and barked.

March 7th was flipping through his camera when he heard a noise and looked up.

Seeing that Qiye was passionately arguing with Estella's pet dog, the two were exchanging barks, creating a cacophony of barking.

She silently raised her camera, took a short video, and then turned to Xing and said:

"Your family member is arguing with the dog. And they're really into it."

Xing walked over, stood beside him, observed carefully for a while, and nodded:

"Hmm. He looks like he's about to lose."

"How did you figure that out?"

Pepe barked faster and wagged her tail.

The good guy didn't wag his tail.

"That guy, Suya, doesn't have a tail."

"So he's going to lose."

Xing pointed at Qiye with his baseball bat.

"Look, he's started using repetitive dog barks; his vocabulary isn't keeping up."

Pepe is still coming up with new sentence structures.

March 7th looked completely bewildered and couldn't help but speak up.

"Aren't they all just dogs barking? How did you tell?"
