The fringe area of Hongye City, a market town in the southwest.
Life began to bustle as soon as the sun rose.
Mercenaries who went out to hunt, staff working at nearby farms and plantations, residents of the fringe areas… People came to the town early in the morning to buy daily necessities.
The mercenaries who go out to hunt have the loosest pockets, and the most expensive shops in the town are basically selling to them.
Farm and plantation workers have average income, but their jobs are stable, so they are generous when shopping.
To save trouble, they usually buy several days’ worth of food at once.
The people who are most stubborn are those who are struggling to survive in the fringe area.
Many only buy food a day at a time, and choose whatever is cheapest.
“Cheap turkey meat!”
“Mashed potatoes, 2 yuan per pound!”
“Multigrain rice, 4 yuan per serving!”
…
In the bedroom on the second floor of a small two-story building on the street, Xie Yunnan was woken up by the sounds outside his window.
Opening the window, he saw the street in front of his house filled with stalls as always.
The rich aroma of the food rushed to his face, Xie Yunnan shouted to an old grandmother who set up a stall on the left side of his house: “Grandma Wang, make me a pancake and add two eggs!”
The elderly Grandma Wang responded with a smile: “Okay!”
After shouting, he turned to an old grandfather who set up a stall on the right side of his house: “Grandpa Zhou, fry me a chicken chop.”
Grandpa Zhou also replied with a smile, “Okay!”
After ordering, Xie Yunnan closed the window, and began to get dressed.
“Woof woof woof.” The dog’s bark came from the bed.
A snow-white puppy that looked a bit like a fox got out of the quilt and wagged its tail happily at Xie Yunnan.
“Morning, silly!” Xie Yunnan grabbed the puppy, kissed it first, and then hugged it into his arms.
The puppy disappeared into his arms, or was taken back by him.
This adorable puppy is his companion animal.
Everyone has a companion beast, and some people’s companion beasts have very good combat strength.
Unfortunately his companion beast has zero combat power, so he usually doesn’t release it, lest the little guy is injured accidentally.
Even if it doesn’t get hurt… it’s troublesome when the little guy’s white hair gets dirty.
He doesn’t want to wash a dog at all!
After packing, Xie Yunnan went downstairs.
The building of his house has two floors, The second floor is where he lives, and the first floor is where he does business – he inherited the car repair shop left to him by his grandfather.
Xie Yunnan was an orphan, but he was lucky.
He was thrown into the water when he was young, but did not drown.
He floated along the current to the nearby riverbank, where he was picked up and adopted by his grandfather.
He grew up in this town, learned how to repair cars from his grandfather, and taught himself how to modify cars.
Although the cars he can modify are limited, with these skills in hand, he can earn a lot of money.
In this town in the fringe area, he is considered a wealthy person.
Xie Yunnan’s house is not big, covering an area of 90 square meters.
The second floor is the kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and two bedrooms.
As for the downstairs, there are two large rooms facing south.
A large car can be parked inside, allowing him to repair and refit vehicles.
The upstairs is okay, but the downstairs is actually a bit small.
There is often no place to put various auto parts.
Both sides of the stairs are filled with car parts, and there’s only a narrow aisle in the middle for people to pass.
Xie Yunnan went downstairs, shuffling around several piles of parts.
He finally arrived at the food and pulled up the door.1
He let out a long breath in the shining sunlight.
The garage smelled of oil, and he could fresh air after opening the door.
Xie Yunnan first went to Grandma Wang to get his pancakes, and went to get the fried chicken chop from Grandpa Zhou.
Grandpa Zhou’s companion animal is a dog just like him.
This dog is very thin, and a large part of its back is bald.
One can easily count the bones on its back.
At this moment, it lay at Grandpa Zhou’s feet, panting for breath with its tongue sticking out.
As soon as Xie Yunnan neared, it approached Xie Yunnan’s feet, wagged its tail, and kept rubbing its head against Xie Yunnan’s leg.
Grandpa Zhou cut open the fried chicken chop and said, “Ah Huang likes you very much.” This dog is khaki-colored, so he is called Ah Huang.2
“That’s right, I’m very popular.” Xie Yunnan laughed and paid for the fried chicken.
People naturally have companion beasts after they are born.
The beasts have the mind as their owners, or rather their emotions represent the emotions of their owners.
So it’s not Ah Huang that likes him, it’s clearly Grandpa Zhou who likes him.
Who made him the most popular young man in town!
Xie Yunnan returned to his shop, and ate his own breakfast of pancakes and fried chicken in front of the shop.
Not long after sitting down to eat, he saw a few skinny kids run up to him with their companion animals, salivating at the fried chicken in his hand.
Xie Yunnan took a piece of fried chicken chop in his mouth, and then gave them the rest of the fried chicken chop together with the paper bag.
“You can share it yourself.”
“Thank you brother.” The children held the paper bag and went to the side to split it up.
After Xie Yunnan finished breakfast, he was about to change into his overalls and start his day’s work when several motorcycles suddenly drove towards the market town.
These vehicles sped by kicking up lots of dust, and the violent roar seemed comparable to the wind and waves in nature.
The last bike in the convoy braked suddenly and stopped at the door of Xie Yunnan’s shop.
The roads in the town are not asphalt.
They are made of mud, and quite wide.
Even two small trucks can easily drive side by side, let alone a small car.
But these motorcycles were way too fast!
Some people were frightened and hid on both sides, and some people’s companion animals were too frightened to move, shivering on the side of the road.
Even the fried chicken chop in the hands of the children were covered with a layer of dust from the motorcycles.
Xie Yunnan was a little unhappy, but quickly suppressed his unhappiness.
He likes cars very much, and could tell at a glance that each motorcycle cost millions.
He can’t afford to offend anyone who can afford such a motorcycle.
At this time, the man on the red motorcycle got off.
