"Singing practice while eating spicy food?"

"Oh, it's just that I haven't had it in a long while, craving it."

Lin Feifei gave a playful smile, looking very cute.

The last of the vegetable platter was finished, and both of them patted their bellies, "So full today."

"When are you going back to Jinghai?"

"The things here are temporarily done, I'll go back to Jinghai tomorrow."

"Are you police officers all this busy?"

Seeing that Li Xiang always seemed busy, Lin Feifei was curious, wondering if police officers were all this busy, as he always seemed quite occupied every time they met.

"Oh, just busy with random things, not worth mentioning. Are you full? If not, I can pay the bill now, or we can order more."

"I'm full, do you really see me as a pig? Eating so much and still not full, look at the bones on my plate, I didn't eat less than you."

Li Xiang saw her pouting and couldn't help but grin before heading to pay the bill.

"I had so much fun eating today, haven't eaten so splendidly in ages."

After eating at the restaurant, Lin Feifei patted her slightly round belly with satisfaction.

"Let's have another meal together next time, don't forget you have me as a meal buddy."

"I won't forget. Where are you staying tonight? Shall I drop you off?"

"What about Coal Ball? Let's pick up Coal Ball first."

"I brought Coal Ball with me; it was inconvenient at the restaurant, so I left it at the pet shop. We can get it now."

With Coal Ball already asleep, Li Xiang returned to the hotel with Lin Feifei.

Indeed, as she said, Coal Ball had put on more than a little weight, looking quite round.

With Coal Ball back at his side, Li Xiang couldn't wait to take out his phone, eager to see what the pet training system rewarded after completing the new police dog mission in the game was all about.

Entering the game, the real-world objects around Li Xiang quickly disappeared as he returned to the Virtual Space.

[Ding, a pet under the player's name is detected. Would you like to use 1000 diamonds to bind this pet?]

[Note: After binding the pet, the pet training system officially activates. Players can use diamonds to open the pet training space, where they can train in any police dog program.]

"Bind."

The appearance of this system made Li Xiang wonder if he could also train a police dog in reality. Now, seeing this description, he was overjoyed.

The champion in the game left a deep impression on him, and he'd long wanted to train an obedient dog like the champion in real life.

He had been worried about not having the right facility to train Coal Ball, and this system appeared just in time.

Following his command, a black ball materialized from virtual to real beside Li Xiang's feet, exactly Coal Ball curled up sleeping.

[Binding successful, please name your pet.]

"Coal Ball."

[Name successful, please choose a program to start?]

[Police dog obedience training, two hours/100 diamonds]

[Drug search training, two hours/100 diamonds]

[Blood trail search training, two hours/100 diamonds]

[Obstacle course training, two hours/100 diamonds]

...

[Note: Pet training should not exceed 2 hours a day, or it may lead to resistance.]

The subjects of pet training were extensive, even more than what he trained the champion dog for police dog operations, covering areas like bomb detection dogs, tracker dogs, narcotics dogs, blood tracker dogs, guard dogs, and even guide dogs.

"If I quit being a cop, opening a kennel and just training guide dogs could make me rich."

"But it's a bit pricey; two hours of training in the space costs 100 diamonds. Standing in the cold wind for four hours just to earn that? I'm really like a low-level laborer, not even as valuable as a dog."

Having already spent a thousand diamonds, Li Xiang didn't care about the hundred diamonds anymore.

"Start police dog obedience training."

[Ding, police dog obedience training activated for you, training duration two hours, countdown begins.]

Soon after, the scenery around Li Xiang filled up quickly, a training plaza similar to the one in the game appeared before him, and in the lower right of his vision, a countdown for the remaining time began.

"Still sleeping? Time to train."

Li Xiang nudged the sleeping Coal Ball with his foot, who woke up to find that the surrounding environment had changed. It was just dark, but now suddenly it's daylight?

"Coal Ball, let's make the most of our time. These two hours cost me four hours, so don't waste it."

"Coal Ball, watch my gesture, sit, this means sit."

"Do well and there's a reward."

Li Xiang repeatedly corrected Coal Ball's sitting posture, training again and again, using his experience from training the champion dog at the police dog base.

"Coal Ball, sit."

"Sit."

"You silly dog, I've taught you so many times, just sit down already, look, it's so bright, why are you sleeping?"

Maybe Coal Ball hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet, the first training session was incredibly poor; of course, it could also be because it had eaten enough in the evening that food wasn't much of an incentive from Li Xiang.

Time flew by, and after two hours, the training space vanished, leaving Li Xiang back in the hotel room with Coal Ball, who hadn't even learned to sit.

"Training you to become like the champion is going to be a long journey."

"Let's go sleep."

The next day, Li Xiang took Coal Ball back to Jinghai City.

After arranging Coal Ball at home, he reported to the Hongqiao Police Station with Sun Zhidong.

Though their current position was as regular auxiliary police at the station, what they did was far from ordinary. Everyone at the station was curious about their trip to Jinling.

A seemingly ordinary runaway case unexpectedly unveiled a shocking major case, suggesting they might have better luck buying a lottery ticket.

Maybe the next lucky draw winner could be you.

The station receives dozens, even hundreds of missing person reports each month, mostly stemming from family disputes.

Kids leaving home in anger after being scolded, for minors of this nature, after receiving a report, the police respond promptly to arrange a search.

There are also couple quarrels, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disputes, and other bizarre reasons for leaving home, 99.99% of them are found within a few days.

After seeing many cases, the police usually just do a routine registration, assisting families in the investigation without filing a case, unless the missing person is a typical adult and left purposely.

With limited police resources, they avoid wasting time on such thankless tasks.

But just a couple of bored guys went to Jinling, and if it weren't for the trouble Li Xiang got into, ending up in detention, their trip to Jinling would have been perfect.

Some envied their luck; others sympathized with Li Xiang's predicament.

If not for that incident, Li Xiang's transition to regular status would be a sure thing.
