You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Having finally made it from the mountains to the big city, it's time to eat and shop to our hearts' content!

Of course, since the task has not been completed, the shopping spree is not feasible for the time being.

But you can never go hungry.

Lu Yuanqing lay in bed, took a nap, and felt much better. He then took Lu Yuanbo out to find something to eat.

"Brother, this place is really different!" Lu Yuanbo was holding the snacks that Lu Yuanqing had bought. Seeing that this place was completely different from his hometown, he was so shocked that he forgot about eating.

When we arrived in the afternoon, I didn't feel anything yet; I was just being led around.

Now that he had taken a nap and was no longer so tired, and because he had eaten, he was full of energy. Walking down the street and seeing countless workers leaving get off work, Lu Yuanbo was truly amazed.

Lu Yuanqing munched on a sesame cake, casually glancing around.

Compared to later generations, it was far from prosperous.

But compared to the commune and the county town, it was indeed many times more prosperous.

"It's alright, just that the buildings are a bit taller, the people are a bit richer, there are more buses, more bicycles, and more good food..."

Lu Yuanbo: "..."

Stop saying "a little more"! All he hears now is "a little more!"

Pedestrians hurried by, bicycles came and went, and everyone was wearing the same uniform, which made one envious.

"Brother, don't you think these workers have it so easy? They don't have to grow food, yet they still get their share." Lu Yuanbo's eyes were filled with envy.

They were dressed better than them and could buy many things that the rural people couldn't buy at all.

Lu Yuanqing didn't sense any jealousy in his tone, only a hint of envy. Amused, she patted his head and said, "You can do it too someday!"

They are all still young, and they are able to see a more prosperous future and enjoy a more comfortable life than city dwellers do now.

"Brother, what's that smell? It smells so good!" Lu Yuanbo twitched his nose and smelled a sweet fragrance coming from a box in the hand of a passerby.

Lu Yuanqing followed his staring gaze and saw a man carrying a cardboard box.

"It's a cake!"

Wow, this is Jiang'an City! They even sell cakes.

They had never seen it in the county town.

"Want to eat?"

"Mmm!" Lu Yuanbo nodded vigorously.

Is it called a cake? It smells so good! Even the sesame cake in his hand doesn't smell good anymore.

His fixed gaze on the cake made Lu Yuanqing miss the taste of cakes he had eaten before.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuanqing ran forward and asked where he could buy it.

After learning the location, Lu Yuanqing turned back and said, "Let's go! Let's buy one to take back for a late-night snack!"

Lu Yuanbo followed in a daze.

In Jiang'an City, these paper boxes contain vegetarian cakes or various small cakes, and of course, they could also contain dry pastries.

Upon arrival, Lu Yuanqing was immediately captivated by the cream cake.

He suddenly realized that he had been a bit pretentious before.

I used to find birthday cakes too sweet, and I'd only take a couple of bites to satisfy my craving.

I only realized now that cream cakes are a luxury item, and not many people can afford to eat them.

"Brother, it's a bit expensive!" Lu Yuanbo tugged at Lu Yuanqing's sleeve.

"It's okay, I have money!" Lu Yuanqing's eyes never left the cream cake.

The team gave him a lot of money when they bought piglets this time, and Lu Yuanqing planned to exchange the piglets he won for money.

Including the money he earned from work points as an accountant in the production team, which the system had previously given him, he wasn't rich, but he wasn't poor either.

Lu Yuanqing decisively took out the money, picked it up, and went back to the hotel.

I need to go to bed early tonight, because I have to go check on the pig farm here tomorrow.

Get the piglets sorted out as soon as possible so we can go home.

……

Just as Lu Yuanqing was taking Lu Yuanbo around, Qin Yang dragged his disbelieving mother to the nearest hotel to his home.

"Excuse me, I need to find Lu Yuanqing. He just checked in this afternoon."

"There is no such person!"

"How could that be? I personally brought them here. He also has a younger brother named Lu Yuanbo! You're saying there aren't two grown men?"

"There isn't one!"

"No, what kind of attitude is that? I'm their friend, I need to talk to them about something, and you don't have to look down on me!"

"No one checked into our hotel this afternoon. I also remember the two brothers you mentioned. The tall one said he went to the wrong place and then grabbed the other one and ran away!"

"What? They all went through the door and then left?"

"That's right!"

As Qin Yang and his mother walked out of the hotel, Qin's mother looked at her son's incredulous expression and hesitated before saying, "They think you have ill intentions!"

Qin Yang: "...Mom, you don't have to be so direct!"

That really hurt his pride!

Qin's mother was initially a little embarrassed, but now she was completely relieved. "Haha, was it because you were too enthusiastic on the train that you were mistaken for a bad person?"

For example, human traffickers!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang stared at his elderly mother with dead fish eyes.

Why does his mother enjoy seeing her son make a fool of himself?

"I wasn't that enthusiastic! Besides, I thought Lu Yuanqing was hard to deal with, so I waited until he closed his eyes and fell asleep before trying to get information out of Lu Yuanbo. Lu Yuanbo seemed a bit dim-witted and was easy to talk to." He answered whatever was asked!

Qin's mother laughed heartily, "You know that older brother is not easy to deal with, why didn't you think that he wasn't asleep? Maybe he saw you constantly trying to get information out of his younger brother, so he became suspicious of you, and then promptly changed hotels after you left!"

"..." Qin Yang was speechless. "I'm not a bad person, is it really necessary?"

Besides, this is a state-run hotel, what else could he possibly do?

Qin's mother patted her simple-minded son's head and smiled, "Think about it, we just met by chance, and you kept asking about their hometown. Isn't it normal for them to be suspicious of you?"

Moreover, after hearing her foolish son's description of Lu Yuanqing, Qin's mother realized it would be strange if the two brothers hadn't run away.

My younger brother might really be a bit slow-witted; he doesn't seem to be wary of anyone.

But the one who is the older brother might not be so sure.

Maybe they didn't even realize there was anything wrong with Qin Yang at first.

However, as Qin Yang probed and tried to get information out of them, anyone with a brain would realize that something was amiss.

It was their first time visiting Jiang'an City, and they were unfamiliar with the place. They didn't want to be scammed or cause trouble, so they quietly ran away, which was a smart decision.

"Mom, don't laugh at me. What do we do now? He looks so much like Chengjun, he must be related to us. And didn't you say that Chengjun's father was the one who was trafficked to our hometown?" Qin Yang was a little anxious.

I originally wanted to go home and tell my parents, then bring them here to see for themselves, and after confirming it, I would tell Lu Yuanqing and the others about it.

But now, nobody knows where they've gone.

In a city as large as Jiang'an, finding two people from out of town is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

After thinking for a moment, Qin's mother said, "You've been asking them questions the whole way, do you know what they're doing in Jiang'an City?"

Qin Yang: "..."

"I was so busy asking him about the production team and his family situation that I didn't ask about these things. I only knew that they came with a mission from the production team!"

Qin's mother looked at him with a forced smile.

Qin Yang subconsciously shrank his body.
