Chapter 209: Hello, I Need Property Notarization
After the three lazybones got up at noon, the group of five went out to eat.
It should be a popular internet-famous spot; even at noon, it was still quite stylish, with luxurious decor and candles on every table.
"Bufan, do you know what burning candles smell like?" Lin Li asked Bai Bufan as they sat down, having nothing else to do.
"It smells like paraffin," Bai Bufan replied casually while looking at the menu.
"That's a first-level smell, but actually, you can smell burnt nose hairs. If you don't believe me, go ahead and give it a try." Lin Li eagerly suggested, bringing the candle over.
Bai Bufan: "..."
Damn you.
"I believe, I absolutely believe. But take your candle and get away from me." Bai Bufan quickly shirked away.
The food at the popular spot was decent, just a bit pricey.
After eating, everyone set off for the zoo.
When they arrived at the zoo entrance, it might have coincided with the end of lunch break and the start of the ticket sellers' shift, so there was a short queue at the gate.
But since they had already confirmed and reserved their prize tickets the day before, no one was in a hurry.
"Lin Li, the four brothers attack the zoo, the eldest fights the tiger, the third wrestles with the bear, the fourth strikes the snake, what is the second doing?" Bai Bufan asked Lin Li in a whisper while they were waiting, having nothing else to do.
"The second brother stabs the ape," Lin Li snorted, dismissing the question as too easy.
Such a simple puzzle, you think you can stump me with it?
"Wrong, the second brother wrestles with the penguin," Bai Bufan chuckled as he gave the correct answer.
Lin Li: "..."
Crap.
This simple puzzle actually stumped me.
"There aren't even any penguins in this zoo, right?"
"There are people who use QQ, though."
The queue wasn't long, and soon it was their turn.
After Chen Yu Ying negotiated with the ticket seller for a while, she got five paper tickets and signaled to everyone that they could go in.
But Lin Li didn't follow right away; instead, he stepped up and knocked on the ticket seller's window.
When the ticket seller looked up, Lin Li pointed at Bai Bufan, who was doing nothing behind them, and said:
"Sister, just to let you know, this monkey here is ours, not part of the zoo, so you need to help us get a certificate. Don't let the security stop us on the way out, saying we stole a monkey, that'll be such a hassle."
Chen Yu Ying: "?"
Ticket Seller: "??"
Bai Bufan: "???"
Damn you.
This attack was beyond savage.
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu couldn't hold back, they squatted on the ground laughing with their hands covering their mouths, and Chen Yu Ying leaned against the window with her arm on her forehead, trembling slightly.
"...Oh oh haha okay, you can bring it, I'll help you prove it, as long as it's been vaccinated, it's best to show a health certificate, haha——" The ticket seller couldn't hold back after she reacted.
"Bufan, show your health certificate, and I'll reward you with a banana later." Lin Li turned back with a grin.
"How come you even played along, sister! Damn it, Lin Li, I took my eyes off you for a second, and you pull this crap! You really deserve it!" Bai Bufan rushed up to Lin Li, locked him in a chokehold, and forced him towards the entrance, gritting his teeth.
You really need to be on guard with this guy at all times, he's too dangerous.
The zoo was quite accommodating in the end; they didn't ask for Bai Bufan's pet vaccine certificate and let him through.
"The zoo does have a limited variety of animals, even dogs are exhibited as animals." Lin Li commented as soon as they entered.
Upon entering the main gate, the first enclosed area had dogs. Because they were dogs, the fences weren't high, and there was no glass protection. There were several dogs, some near the fence, allowing passersby to pet them.
"But they're so cute, rural dogs of this quality might cost a few thousand bucks each." Ding Sihan lamented.
The dogs here had pure coats and well-proportioned bodies, indeed looking good and well-behaved. Although they were called mutts, our ancestors surely didn't play with fake goods.
"Wangcai, come here." Based on the display card, Ding Sihan squatted down and beckoned to a dog, making sounds, and it came over to her for some petting.
They seemed to have good temperaments.
"Woof woof, Yellow... The names of these dogs are too much like dogs." Qu Wanqiu commented after looking at the introduction card displaying other dogs' names.
Lin Li was about to speak when he saw a hand covering his mouth swiftly. Bai Bufan first gave him a cold smile, then said, "No dog named Lin Li? Now that's the doggiest name."
The girls remembered Lin Li's earlier antics and nodded in agreement, laughing out loud.
Lin Li remained silent, just looking at Bai Bufan.
As Lin Li stayed silent, the girls also turned their eyes to Bai Bufan, starting a second round of laughter.
Bai Bufan: "?"
What?
Lin Li didn't even say anything, why are you looking at me and laughing!?
Have I really established this dog persona that deeply?
When Bai Bufan hopelessly withdrew his hand, Lin Li quickly moved next to the fence, squatted down, and extended his hand toward the mixed-breed dogs: "Bufan, come here."
When he saw most of the dogs running towards Lin Li, Bai Bufan was dumbfounded.
"Lin Li, come here." To defeat magic with magic, Bai Bufan quickly squatted and started calling out to a dog.
No response.
No worries, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain; if a dog doesn't want to be at my beck and call, Bai Bufan will.
So, he ran over to the dog's side.
"Bufan, spin around." Lin Li circled his finger in front of the mixed-breed dogs. Perhaps due to some zoo training, several dogs started turning in circles following his finger.
"Bufan, shake hands." The closest dog obediently placed its paw in Lin Li's hand.
"Lin Li, spin around."
"Lin Li, shake hands."
Bai Bufan imitated but got no response.
"..."
Crap.
Dogs are angering itself to death, Bai Bufan was feeling devastated.
Seeing this, Lin Li grinned smugly.
Not everyone has a 50% affinity increase with spirit animals. Moreover, Lin Li had a "Bai Bufan's Sausage" hidden in his hand.
Although feeding is prohibited in the zoo, it's not a big issue; Lin Li could even deceive dogs when he got mischievous.
"Mama, that dog named Bufan is so smart." In the zoo, crowded with families, a child being held exclaimed at Lin Li's dog-training prowess.
Bai Bufan: "..."
The joys and sorrows of people do not connect; the four others, apart from Bai Bufan, laughed heartily.
"Bufan, kids' words carry no harm, don't take it to heart hahaha." When it comes to mocking Bai Bufan, Lin Li never holds back, he patted him heavily on the shoulder, winking and teasing.
"But mama, that dog named Lin Li is so dumb." At this moment, the child pointed at the dog Bai Bufan was calling to, who did not respond, and shook his head disdainfully.
Lin Li: "?"
Eh?
"Hahahahaha——"
The girls burst out laughing, the three just standing up squatted down again, Ding Sihan even felt a bit of a belly ache.
Bai Bufan immediately cheered up, turning around to pat Lin Li's shoulder: "Lin Li, kids' words carry no harm, don't take it to heart."
"..."
"How could there be no harm? That kid's a boy, he must have harm. Moreover, since there's harm, he ought to be spanked!" Lin Li found an excuse.
He donned a serious expression, rolling up his sleeves, ready to relive his childhood classic game from 4399 — "Crazy Beat Little Friends."
This world just gained another kid who needs the chance to fly!
"No need, no need, no need," Bai Bufan laughed heartily as he held Lin Li back.
