I've become Superman, and now you're talking about the resurgence of spiritual energy?

"A cage and a leash, I'll pick out another bag of dog food, that's all for now." Jiang Jingyun picked out a portable cage and a set of dog leashes, including a collar.

And a big bag of dog food.

"I think you should buy a few more bags of dog food; one bag might not be enough," the female shop owner suggested.

"One bag is enough for now, we can buy more if it's not enough." Jiang Jingyun felt that there was no need to buy so many of these tiny puppies at once.

"Okay, this dog probably has a big appetite, so feed it more," the female boss added.

"He's just a little puppy; even if he eats a lot, that's about it," Jiang Jingyun said with a smile.

"I'll give you a receipt." The female shopkeeper didn't say anything more and turned to go to the counter to issue the invoice.

Jiang Jingyun scanned the QR code to pay.

The app just notified me that the QR code payment was successful, and two notifications popped up on the "Howling Celestial Dog" tag above the head of the five black dog puppies.

【+1】

[Successfully obtained a pet]

I got a point, so I don't need to do any tasks this time.

"Wangwang".

The little black puppy barked excitedly twice in its cage, its front paws gripping the metal bars, its eyes fixed on Jiang Jingyun, its little black tail wagging incessantly, as if it couldn't wait to come over.

This dog seems quite intelligent; it knows it has received a long-term food ration coupon.

It's also possible that the system recognizes it as a pet, and there's a kind of telepathic element involved, so it knows who its owner is.

Jiang Jingyun felt that this was more likely.

These few hundred yuan were well spent. Jiang Jingyun was in a great mood. He pressed the rune on his wrist, and the game panel popped up.

[Player: Jiang Jingyun]

【属性：力量1.8、速度1.9、敏捷1.9、耐力1、精神1.4】

[Pet: Howling Celestial Dog]

[Points: 1]

Not only did it add one more point, but it also added a pet item.

"Sure enough, the system is treating this little puppy as a pet." Seeing the notification, Jiang Jingyun understood and closed the panel.

The female boss had already finished packing up all the goods, then took out the little black puppy, put it in a cage, and handed it to Jiang Jingyun.

"Give it a name, do some training, and it will respond when you call its name, knowing that it is being called, thus distinguishing it from other pets."

The female shop owner suddenly remembered something, "We also have pet dog training books here, you can buy one and take a look."

"Forget about the books."

Jiang Jingyun plans to search online and watch some short videos to learn. After all, there are countless internet celebrities in the pet industry, and dog training is relatively simple.

"Goodbye, boss." Jiang Jingyun said goodbye to his boss.

"Take care," the female shop owner said. "You can come back here next time you need dog food or have any other questions."

"Okay." Jiang Jingyun left the store.

"Let's call him Little Black."

Choosing a name was the easiest part; after only a few steps, Jiang Jingyun decided on the most common one.

[Named "Xiao Hei"]

Another notification message appeared on the Howling Celestial Dog label.

"Woof woof." The puppy barked excitedly twice more and circled around the cage a couple more times.

Could it be that it sensed my name was Xiao Hei?

"Little Black, look over here," Jiang Jingyun said, holding the cage up in front of him.

Sure enough, the puppy turned around, squatted down, looked at Jiang Jingyun, stuck out its tongue, and continued to wag its tail vigorously.

Amazing! It understands without any training. This is probably one of the benefits of being recognized as a pet by the system; it can receive the owner's commands 100% of the time.

Jiang Jingyun felt that this must be the reason.

Since he had bought a dog, he decided it wouldn't be good for it to roam outside anymore. Jiang Jingyun went back to school first, and as he entered the campus, he suddenly remembered something.

"It seems like pets aren't allowed in the dorms. This is a real headache. I'll have to rent a place outside."

Actually, he could only stay for another two months or so before moving out a little earlier. However, the rent was very expensive. Jiang Jingyun only had eight thousand yuan in his account, which was the money his family had given him to help with finding a job and basic living expenses.

Living outside won't last more than a few months.

"Let's take it one step at a time and go back to the dorm first." Luckily, Jiang Jingyun looked out the window at the lobby outside the dorm building. The dorm supervisor wasn't there, and the dorm supervisor was just getting water.

Once the dormitory supervisor had turned the corner and disappeared from sight, he quickly slipped inside.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Jiang Jingyun looked around and then tidied up the area under the table where the opposite bed had been moved, placing a few discarded old clothes to make a makeshift doghouse.

"You'll be living here from now on. Remember not to leave the dorm room," Jiang Jingyun said to Xiao Hei.

"Woof woof." The little puppy seemed to understand, barking twice before running to its kennel after Jiang Jingyun released it.

Jiang Jingyun then used a PP plastic bowl that came with a pack of instant noodles as a dog bowl, instructing the puppy to eat there from now on.

Although he felt that as a pet recognized by the system, it should not disobey its owner's orders, he still tied the collar and leash to the bed leg for safety reasons.

After doing all this, he sent Liu Jie a WeChat message to tell him that he had bought a pet dog, and then took a picture of Xiao Hei and sent it to him.

Even though they'll be moving out in two months, I still need to tell my roommates about keeping a dog in the dorm.

[No way, it's a little puppy! Did the rich lady insist on buying it? It's so cute!]

Liu Jie replied to the message very quickly.

Jiang Jingyun wiped his sweat and immediately replied: [What are you thinking? You're obsessed with rich women, aren't you? This dog is very smart, so I bought it.]

Liu Jie: [I'll be right back]

He arrived quickly; about ten minutes later, Liu Jie appeared in the dormitory.

"They look much cuter in person than in the photos."

After untying the leash, Liu Jie lifted Xiao Hei up by its front legs, his eyes shining. "Puppies are definitely the most fun, all fluffy."

"I also had a golden retriever when I was a child, but it died of old age two years before my college entrance exam."

Liu Jie examined the puppy closely. "This is a Wuhei dog, a type of country dog, not many people keep them."

Liu Jie understands dogs better than Jiang Jingyun.

"I'll give it a try and see if it's really smart." Liu Jie put Xiao Hei on the ground and commanded, "Sit down."

Xiao Hei completely ignored him and turned to go to the doghouse.

"He's a bit slow, but he'll get smarter when he grows up," Liu Jie said with experience. "You'll also need to train him. You should buy him a bone toy for training. Reward him with dog food for the correct response and not for the wrong one."

"If it disobeys orders, you should give it a slap and cut its food intake in half. You need to let the dog know who its master is. Soon it will become obedient. Country dogs are supposed to be quite intelligent, but I've heard they can be quite noisy."

Liu Jie has a wealth of experience.

"No need." Jiang Jingyun clapped his hands. "Xiao Hei, come here."

"Woof woof!" The little puppy barked twice and came running over, rubbing against Jiang Jingyun's shoes.

"Wow, didn't you buy it today? It's already so well-behaved." Liu Jie was shocked. Even if he hadn't bought it today, it was impossible for a puppy to be trained to be so well-behaved so quickly.

Liu Jie thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "It's just a coincidence, nothing more."
