The fungal parasitic beasts, realizing they couldn't start a rebellion, felt very disappointed with the current situation.
"Beep beep beep——"
As the parasitic beasts were feeling down, a truck entered through the entrance, honking at the SUV blocking the way, signaling it to move forward.
Su Qiyuan stepped on the gas pedal, cleared the path, and parked on the side. The truck behind wobbled its way into the parking lot.
As the two vehicles crossed, Su Qiyuan and Bai Tao gawked in surprise.
Seated in the driver's seat of the unlicensed, old-style truck was not a human, but a wolf.
The gigantic white wolf, one paw on the steering wheel and the other resting by the window, drove into the parking lot with a leisurely expression on its face, wearing sunglasses.
The truck parked in the lot.
Abai got out from the driver's seat, stood upright, walked to the back of the box truck, opened the locked doors, revealing a brightly lit compartment and a golden lion lounging inside.
"Awoo?"
The lion, with its feet on the left armrest of the sofa and its head on the right, seemed to notice someone opening the door, turned its head slightly, and greeted the outsider.
"Woof——"
Abai motioned to the golden lion and the other guys inside to come over.
The golden lion jumped to the ground, stretched lazily, with two leopards following beside it like knights guarding a king's emergence. Monkeys, with camera bags miraculously obtained from somewhere, followed the king's entourage.
The crowd inside the SUV: "......."
A large group of spirit beasts, accompanied by regular animals, headed to the top club in Jiule City for a party.
In a sense, the richness of spirit beast nightlife in Jiule City shocked them for an entire year.
...
"Is the sound system adjusted? Don't let the young master's voice crack, understood?"
"Are the camera and lights set up? Remember to record the young master's heroic bearing the whole time, got it?"
Ansheng, on stage, squatted in front of a laptop downloading desktop icons, then logged into his account to select speech materials.
Lin Bingyun organized the on-site staff, quickly checking all the relevant equipment, and arranged people to continuously serve food and clear plates for the guests.
Lin Bingyun thought for a bit, hesitantly looked at General Manager Lin Yun of Haijing:
"Do your technicians... offer pet baths?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun was taken aback, glanced around at all the stray animals present, looked at Lin Bingyun with a difficult expression, and instinctively shook his head.
Bathing... isn't too much of a problem.
It's just a bit of a waste of technicians, but we can have the security guards on image duty help out.
After all... the image security guards are essentially well-paid underlings and muscle, if Boss Lin Hao requests, bathing these pets shouldn't be a problem.
It's just a bit wasteful on resources.
...
"Coo!"
Ansheng, squatting on the stage, controlling the computer and finding all the materials, faced the microphone and said: "Abai, Golden Lion, come over here."
"Oh! And those monkeys, remember to record my speech and take it back to Orca."
"Awoo!"
On Master Fox's command, Abai and the Golden Lion ran to the stage, roared to the audience below.
With Boss Bai managing the dogs and Uncle Jin Long managing the cats, the parking lot quickly quieted down, all the stray animals looked towards the stage.
"Alright! Now I want those among you who think you're particularly clever to come forward to the front row. If you're not bright, don't come, or else don't blame Master Fox for being ruthless and sending you to the pet store to get neutered."
Ansheng stood up, hands on the low table, faced the microphone and made a cooing sound.
Under Master Fox's orders, the relatively clever stray pets sat in the front row.
"If there are no issues, please don't interrupt my speech next. If there's anything you don't understand, you can wait until the end of the gathering to ask questions or consult your leaders."
"Alright, let's cut to the chase."
"The First 'Spirit Beast Gang Economic Growth and Sustainable Development Conference' is officially beginning."
Master Fox raised a paw, knocked on the lectern with a resonant sound, then manipulated the mouse on the laptop, projecting it onto the screen.
And on the screen, videos related to Weima Ye and Big Fly suddenly began to play.
"As our Spirit Beast Gang... ahem. As our Jiule City's stray little beings mutual aid society grew from less than thirty at the start, it's developed to currently having....."
Ansheng looked at Abai and the Golden Lion, Abai thought for a bit and said: "The number of dogs is over three thousand, even the number of cats is almost two thousand, other species are not yet counted, but estimated to be no less than a thousand."
"Great! We'll use the minimum value of five thousand!" Ansheng faced all the stray animals: "As our mutual aid association developed, the numbers have reached five thousand, and they are also spread across all districts and counties in the city."
"I believe you all know, in the old days, those who could eat enough every day were only the comrades following Boss Bai out for raids, while the other brothers could only eat some leftovers or scavenge in trash bins."
"It's still summer now, the weather's hot, and as winter's harsh chill arrives, to be blunt, at least half of the brothers here, especially the cat group, won't last till next spring."
"Today, I, Master Fox, gathered members of the dog group and cat group for the purpose."
"It's to ensure you all can eat enough, no longer needing to scavenge, no more curling up under garbage cans during the typhoon season to avoid wind and rain, but to have a home instead!"
"We need a change, to overthrow the life of relying on robbing for sustenance, we need a fairer distribution and a more efficient method."
Master Fox's voice was full of passion, and his cooing echoed through the venue, while on the projection screen, images of spoiled food were shown.
Those videos were just internet images, but indeed, part of the food secured from raiding Big Fly spoiled and rotted due to untimely distribution, and Abai had to throw them into the sea to feed the fish, lest the brothers be poisoned.
"Something's wrong... very wrong." Granny Hedgehog was also listening to Master Fox's speech, but the more she listened, the more she felt the content was off, showing a vigilant expression.
"What's wrong, Granny...?" Lin Hao, who couldn't understand the coo speech, was taken aback and looked at Granny Hedgehog.
"Summarizing Master Fox's speech, it's essentially saying 'The noble and the king, why can't the common people be them too...'" Granny Hedgehog said cautiously: "We should step back, to avoid that fox extorting us for billions....."
And Uncle Jin Long, in the SUV, swallowed and said:
"Wanlin... things feel wrong! That fox seems to want an uprising!"
"Hmm?" The ears of the parasitic beasts perked up again.
Granny Hedgehog and what's happening in the SUV, Master Fox, who was giving a speech, was completely unaware of.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
"And for a change, the most necessary thing to change for us is the primitive 'barter trade'!"
Master Fox operated the computer and played a video of a golden retriever selling flowers on the street.
It was wearing a sign saying:
[Dear big brothers and sisters, please buy some flowers from doggo me! Three yuan each, and you can pet the adorable me as much as you want~]
Below the sign, there was a QR code payment picture.
Of course, the spirit beasts and dogs present could all hear that the video was a staged clip, nothing more.
The dog in the video kept asking when it could get off work and whether it could have a big chicken leg?
Although the video was fake, Ansheng felt that the scenario in the video was worth referencing.
"For little ones like us..."
"To live happily in the city, with freedom and joy!"
"Based on Master Fox's travels, I have summarized the following three principles."
"Selling charm! Selling cuteness! Selling pity!"
"Once you master these three, normal people cannot resist!"
"But we don't want holdout food; we want them to scan the QR code to pay. With money, we can purchase food and real estate anytime, establish a spirit beast capital within Jiule City, and reinvest with the money we earn, feeding back to ourselves!"
Master Fox raised his left paw in a fist, facing all the dogs and cats, shouting:
"Now!"
"Let us take the first step! Learn to sell charm!"
