33 -33 A Bold Idea…_1

“Applying for the job?”

Mu You looked at Lin Xue with a puzzled expression: “Which one were you…looking at?”

Lin Xue turned to look at the flyer again before answering: “The one for the pet doctor.”

“Oh?

Are you fit for it?”

The pet doctor’s pay was 2000 more than the general staff’s, but the job didn’t differ much.

Besides the daily health checks on the animals, they would also need to care for the pets’ daily necessities, much like common clerks.

Mu You did not question her veterinary qualifications, rather he was suspicious of whether she could withstand the demanding work.

Not just anyone can work in a pet shop.

It requires dealing with animal waste, fur shedding, bitten or scratched skin, amongst other problems every day.

It’s a dirty, hard, and tiring job, nowhere near as glamorous as it appears.

After owning the shop for many years, he had hired hundreds of employees, the majority of them young, initially attracted by the high salary.

Yet, they usually left after a few days, unable to handle the grimy and tiring work.

This is the case for most people, let alone this girl standing before him, who seemingly comes from a privileged, wealthy family background.

Seeing a rich girl like her want to work a blue-collar job made Mu You doubtful.

To answer Mu You’s doubt, Lin Xue pulled out her phone and scrolled through it before presenting a photo to him.

“I graduated from medical school, I dissect and handle animal corpses all the time, which is far more gruesome than the work here.

So, there’s no need to worry whether I can handle it,” Lin Xue calmly remarked.

Mu You looked at the photo on her phone.

It was a certificate indicating advanced veterinary qualifications, with the name: Lin Xue, a graduate of the class of ’18 from Nan Sheng Medical School.

Mu You gawked upon seeing this certificate.

A top-tier graduate from Nan Sheng Medical School… Could it be that she was the alumni that Zhao Qian recommended?

Mu You was pleasantly surprised.

He initially thought that Zhao Qian’s offer to find someone for him was out of courtesy and didn’t get his hopes up.

It was unexpectedly reliable of her actually to introduce a classmate…

“Alright, you’re hired!”

Considering their connection, Mu You didn’t hesitate and immediately hired her.

“We’ll follow the pay scale listed on the ad.

Is that alright?” Mu You asked.

Lin Xue took another glance at the job ad and nodded, “Sure.”

“Alright, follow me.”

Mu You got straight to the point.

Having unexpectedly found such a high-grade talent, there was no need to hold back.

He started ordering her around immediately.

He first asked Lin Xue to do a thorough check-up on all the animals in the shop, especially Cola!

All the other animals were hand-picked by Mu You from animal conservation bases, all with quarantine certifications.

Only Cola, a similarly beautiful short-hair cat from a different world, hadn’t had any vaccinations nor did they know if it carried any otherworldly germs. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Mu You had been thinking of getting it checked out for a while, and now that he has hired a pet doctor, he immediately got it sorted.

And just as if Lin Xue understood Mu You’s worries, she quickly checked all the other animals, yet paid extra attention to Cola.

Using the tools left by the previous pet doctor, she took its blood, conducted an anal exam, fecal test, nasal inspection, mucous membrane check… completing dozens of detailed inspections in total!

The final conclusion was: Everything was normal.

That Cola was as healthy as a cat could get.

The only problem was that it hadn’t received any vaccinations and needed to get the full feline trivalent and rabies vaccines as soon as possible.

Mu You was relieved upon hearing this.

It seemed Cola’s previous owner took good care of it.

Cola was trembling behind Mu You at the moment, clutching his trousers without letting go.

It stared at Lin Xue fearfully, “Mu You, who is this woman?

Is she going to take over our territory?”

“What are you talking about, she’s another employee of this place, just like Little Ya.

They’ll both be coming to work every day,” Mu You whispered to it.

Since cat language is only understood by Mu You, others could only hear Cola’s meows.

“No!” Cola lamented sorrowfully, rubbing Mu You’s leg incessantly, “This woman is terrifying, Mu You!

Hurry up and chase her away!”

“In your dreams, she’s a doctor I hired at a high price.

From now on, you will be getting a thorough check-up every month!” Mu You scoffed.

“???”

Cola felt as if it had been struck by lightning, thinking of how it had to go through being poked and prodded and having blood drawn every month, it felt like it was falling apart.

At six in the afternoon, the pet shop closed for the day.

As he watched the two employees leave, Mu You went back into the shop to wrap up some unfinished business.

After dilly-dallying for a while, it was completely dark outside.

He finally took out his phone and started fanstasy game ‘Fool’.

Although he hadn’t been able to discover the witch’s location over the weekend, he felt that he should be close because he had explored more than half of the map.

If he was lucky, he should find the witch today.

Things fell into place as, soon after logging on and taking a few steps, a long anticipated prompt window appeared.

[After following the winding path along the edge of the village, just as you feel you’re about to be swallowed by the darkness, you finally spot a spire-roofed house in a flower bed at the west end of the village.

Surrounded by black and blood-red devil’s breath flowers, the roof of the house is adorned with a broom statue, bearing four large words – ‘Witch’s House’!]

[The witch, proficient in magic potion study and witchcraft, knows thousands of spells.

The potions that she brews have cured many villagers, while the poisons she makes make werewolves tremble in fear.

She is both the guardian and the nemesis of the village!]

“Finally!”

Mu You let out a sigh.

The witch’s house was actually located at the western end of the village, completely opposite his own place.

No wonder he had spent two whole days trying to find it.

However, considering that the witch was undoubtedly the most respected and powerful being in the entire village, wouldn’t you say it is odd for her to reside somewhere so remote?

Shaking his head, Mu You hurriedly instructed his character to go knock on the door, ready to pay a good visit to this legendary witch.

Even better, if he could apprentice under her right away.

After learning magic from the Witch, plus how to concoct poisons…

As long as he could learn the witch’s skills, he wouldn’t have to fear the werewolf, even in reality!

[You knocked on the witch’s door, but receiving no response, perhaps you should try another time.]

“Huh?”

Seeing the prompt in the game, Mu You frowned.

What did they mean by the witch is not home?

He insisted on knocking a few more times, but the result was always the same.

The same prompt telling him to try again at a different time.

“Can’t be serious…”

Mu You was speechless.

He finally found the witch’s house after exerting so much effort, and now she wasn’t at home?

Furthermore, it didn’t specify when she would be back.

Was he expected to visit repeatedly like a persistent suitor?

“I’ll have to check again tomorrow…”

Mu You couldn’t help but shake his head, preparing to guide his character away.

However, at that moment, he remembered something.

“Wait, if she isn’t home…”

After remembering the new spell he got a few days ago, Mu You suddenly came up with a bold idea.
