Beast Taming: What should I do if my pet likes to transform into human form?

Old slave...

A claw machine that calls itself an old slave?

"It should only be three years old?"

Fox Yaqi pointed at the chip of the claw machine and asked the maintenance worker calmly.

"Yes, but the age of mechanical pets like them is not calculated according to human time."

The maintenance worker answered while fixing the bug frantically. Although her fingers did not dance like the TV, her eyes kept moving up and down quickly, and her face was covered with strange blue light.

"Thank you." It is unethical to interrupt people's work. Seeing that she was so busy, Fox Yaqi was embarrassed to continue asking, so he simply picked up his phone to check it himself-

Oh, it turns out that there are differences in the age of mechanical pets in this world.

Some people believe that: Mechanical pets leave the factory = birth, and the age is calculated from the date of birth; some people believe that: The age of mechanical pets is the time it can surf the Internet freely; and some people believe that only when they enter the mechanical galaxy, mechanical pets are recognized as independent life forms, and the concept of "age" is meaningful.

...Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions.

Fox Seven flipped through it briefly and gave up.

That's right, let's use the most simple and unpretentious concept - this claw machine is three years old, it is already a mature intelligence.

There was noisy music from the east, someone was setting off small fireworks, and with a "bang", it seemed that they had won the grand prize, attracting envious "wow~" shouts.

Fox Seven stood there and thought about it, and simply called Alice.

"Hello?" Alice answered quickly, but her tone was not very good, and she felt like she was asking for an accusation. "Busy Fox Seven, finally you know to call me?"

Fox Seven sighed lightly.

Miss, tsundere is not popular now...

"I'm in your children's playground now, and I've seen a claw machine and want to move it back. How can I buy it?"

Huh? Alice on the other end of the phone was silent instantly. When did her family open a children's playground? How could she not know?

"Oh, you mean the child care center?"

After a few seconds, Alice suddenly remembered... Among the places run by her father, there is such a place, which plays cartoons all year round and is specially used to accommodate children aged 0 to 6.

But why did Fox Seven come here? And he also took a fancy to a claw machine? Are claw machines so fun?

Alice had many questions in her heart.

"Just move away. If someone stops you, just say I asked you to move. By the way, is there anyone who doesn't know you now?"

"I'm not that famous..."

Fox Seven couldn't help but lower her voice. She looked around and took two steps to the corner before saying: "This is your family's business, don't you know? The staff are dressed up as anime characters, but I don't need to dress up to look like one!"

Everyone was wearing full makeup + fake hair. At first glance, who could tell who was who?

"Who asked you to go to the child care center? Go to the first floor!"

Alice rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone.

"Your father threw me here!"

As soon as Fox Seven finished speaking, he realized that he had let it slip!

As expected, Alice exploded, her decibel level suddenly increased by five octaves: "My father?!!!"

Ouch... Fox Seven burst into tears, and could only hold the phone a little further away from her ear: "Don't worry, I can't be your stepmother, we are friends, can you still doubt me?"

"Then why would he look for you?"

The sound of a chair being dragged and rubbed against the ground came from the other end of the phone, and Alice stood up.

"It wasn't him who looked for me."

Fox Seven also heard Alice stand up, probably because she was anxious, she suddenly became weak, and she came up with an excuse.

"I wanted to come to the casino to broaden my horizons, I wanted to find a safe casino, and I happened to run into your father. Didn't I have nothing to say? I asked him what to play, and finally he threw me here... Think about it, he threw me in the children's storage, what can there be between us?"

Alice was stunned, thought about it, it seemed so.

After a few seconds, she felt convinced.

"...Okay..."

Alice sighed, walked quickly to the locker room and grabbed her coat.

"I'll come to you, and show me your slime."

Kitsune Shichi: "...It's perfect. No, you just want to see perfect! You didn't come to see me at all!"

The friendship boat has been broken!

Alice was also very tough: "Yes! So what? Show me the slime, I'll give you five claw machines, right?"

"No, thank you, I only want this one! I can't afford more!"

"What?"

Alice slipped when she heard this and almost fell to the ground, but she stabilized gracefully, but her rose-red eyes widened in fear.

The hand holding the phone alsoTrembling.

"What did you say? Is the next thing you want to contract... the claw machine you like???"

...

...

It was a chaotic night.

But in the end, under the leadership of Alice who came quickly, Fox Seven entered a real casino and gained some experience.

Actually, it was nothing. He just watched others play a few games of cards, guessed the number, and turned a few patterns... and finally lost a few hundred dollars.

Anyway, accompanied by Alice, Fox Seven did not feel excited or stimulated, but only realized that "gambling is a waste of money."

Gambling is like this. Except for the few seconds of expectation before the lottery, you can't get anything. It's like spending money to buy fantasy and disappointment.

"Generally, people who come here to play will bring [Forced Calmness], but this skill is not always effective. Once the skill is out of effect, they will come back to gamble sooner or later."

Alice's eyes were filled with warnings. She had seen too many gamblers whose families were broken up.

Some people are heavily in debt, and they firmly believe that as long as their relatives and friends help them pay off the debt, they can get out of the sea of ​​suffering. However, such people have actually lost the ability to struggle. Apart from relying on gambling to "turn the tables", they can no longer think of other ideas, and they will never be able to turn the tables again.

"I've learned a lot, and I give up."

Fox Seven sighed.

After losing hundreds of dollars in a row, she has given up, because Crusou has given her a blessing. Regardless of whether this blessing is effective in the casino, it proves that she should not win.

——From full of expectations to seeing through the world, it only takes three games and 400 yuan.

That's right, there is nothing difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.

The good news is that Fox Seven carried the claw machine as she wished, with Alice escorting her. The security personnel of the casino just watched them all the way. Seeing such a big machine being carried out of the door, no one came forward to ask.

Back home, Fox Seven placed the claw machine next to the living room.

Then, while her enthusiasm was still there, she turned around and downloaded the Xiaobai programming software that netizens praised, and placed an order for the programming textbook "Hello, World" on her mobile phone.

The seller quickly sent the electronic version of the tutorial.

Kitsune Yaqi patiently read the long introduction.

Ten minutes later -

"No way, wait, I have to learn a language first? What is β language???"

Ten minutes later -

Kitsune Yaqi left the study, smiling, and inserted a USB flash drive into the port of the claw machine:

"I see that you are gifted, otherwise, why don't you learn the β language used by your mechanical life first?"
