"Ding! Daily quest completed! You have received 200 magic gold coins and the spell, Cleaning Spell."
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Lin Ye couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, renting a house can complete the Magic Hut quest."
"As for the Cleaning Spell."
He glanced around, confirming there was no one and no surveillance, then took out the Cleaning Spell, which the system had rewarded him with, from his system inventory.
With a gentle tap, the Cleaning Spell transformed into a ball of light and drilled into his mind.
Immediately, a large amount of related memories began to surface.
Through these memories, he also understood what the Cleaning Spell was.
Just as he had guessed, the so-called Cleaning Spell was invented by mages for cleaning.
He only needed to wave his hand, and the dirt and dust in the room would automatically be cleaned away.
This spell could not only be used for cleaning rooms but also for cleaning clothes, making it both convenient and practical.
With this spell, he would no longer need robot vacuums or regular vacuums, and even washing machines would be unnecessary.
Of course, if he wasn't so particular, he could even use this magic to clean his body.
"This is truly a useful life-skill magic. When will I be able to obtain combat magic? Do I need to raise my level to a Tier 1 Mage?"
"By the way, how do I level up? System, can you give me a clear answer?"
As soon as he finished asking this question, the system's voice resounded in his mind.
"If the host wishes to increase his Mage level, he needs to master the Meditation Technique. By constantly meditating to increase his spiritual power, he can advance once his spiritual power breaks through a certain value."
"Meditation Technique? Where do I get that?"
"After signing in for seven days, the host will automatically acquire it."
Hearing this answer, Lin Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Today is the third day, so I'll get the Meditation Technique in four more days."
Putting this matter aside for now, he immediately went downstairs and found a larger supermarket near the residential area to buy some daily necessities.
This included a four-piece bedding set and toiletries.
After buying these things, he prepared to return to the room he had just rented, and then buy the two items from the Mysterious Shop.
But when he passed a pet store, he suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to buy food for those two guys."
With that, he turned and walked into the pet store, intending to buy some snacks for Black and Brian.
Although they had become magical creatures, it didn't mean they didn't need to eat or drink.
Moreover, he had promised yesterday to buy delicious food for the two little ones.
As soon as he entered the store, a female staff member wearing an apron came up to him.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?"
"Hmm, I'd like to buy some pet food."
"What kind of pet do you have? I can help you with recommendations."
"A cat and a crow."
When Lin Ye stated the pets he kept, the female clerk was visibly stunned.
"Did you say you have a crow?"
"Yes, a crow." Lin Ye nodded.
"Then your pets are really uncommon," the girl said with a smile.
"For cats, we have cat food, cat treats, canned cat food, and freeze-dried food. For crows, we don't have specialized food, but they should eat similar things to parrots, so you could try parrot food."
"Then just buy what you recommend, a little bit of everything," Lin Ye thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, it seems like this is your first time owning pets, so I'll help you with the selection."
As she spoke, the girl picked up a basket and began to select the appropriate pet food for Lin Ye.
While the girl was selecting food, Lin Ye went to the pet sales and pet boarding areas in the store.
There were a large number of pets in this area.
Common ones included cats, dogs, parrots, and rabbits.
Uncommon ones included geckos, snakes, and guinea pigs.
Seeing a silver tabby meowing in a cage ahead, Lin Ye suddenly had an idea and raised his hand to cast Proficiency in Languages.
As a light invisible to ordinary people struck the silver tabby, he immediately felt as if something had been added to his mind.
The next second, he was surprised to find that the silver tabby in front of him was speaking.
"Human, let me out quickly, human, do you hear me, human."
Hearing the silver tabby speak, Lin Ye froze on the spot.
"Damn it, the cat's talking!"
But then he thought again and realized something was off.
"It's not that the cat is talking, but that I can understand what it's saying."
Realizing this, he immediately walked to the cage of another chubby blue cat.
After tapping on the glass door, the blue cat, which had been lying down, lazily raised its head and meowed.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing, go back to sleep."
"Oh." The blue cat buried its head again and went back to sleep.
After wandering around the cat section, he finally confirmed that he could communicate with cats.
He could understand what the cats said, and the cats could understand what he said.
It was just that most cats weren't that intelligent and could only chat with him for a couple of sentences; only high-intelligence cats like Siamese could have simple conversations with him.
After learning the language of cats, he went to the dog area, targeted a corgi, and cast Proficiency in Languages again.
On the spot, he learned dog speak.
The barking sounds that had filled the room suddenly transformed into a language he could understand.
Little Corgi: "I want to play with the ball so much, I want to play with the ball so much!"
Little Husky: "Let me out, let me out!"
Little Border Collie: "Can the two idiots next to me stop barking? Why do I have to live with these two idiots!"
Little Shiba Inu: "Pet me quickly, pet me quickly."
Little French Bulldog: "So hungry, so hungry, so hungry, food, food, food!"
Little Poodle: "*********"
.......
Listening to what these dogs were saying, Lin Ye suddenly felt that it was better not to understand.
Just then, a man carrying a small cat walked into the pet store.
As soon as he entered the store, he found a staff member and then spoke anxiously:
"Is Dr. Xiao Zhou here? This little cat is quite seriously injured. I'd like her to take a look."
Hearing the man's words, the staff member quickly shouted up to the second floor of the pet store.
"Sister Rui, there's an injured cat here, please come down and take a look."
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Following that, a female doctor wearing Crocs quickly walked down from the second floor of the pet store.
The female doctor was wearing a white lab coat, had fair skin, a tall figure, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, making her appear intellectual and capable.
After coming downstairs, she immediately went to the man holding the small cat.
When she saw the man, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"It's you again. Is that last cat doing better?"
Hearing the female doctor's words, the man nodded repeatedly.
"Mao Mao is much better. He's been eating and drinking normally these past few days."
"Oh, this little cat is a stray I just picked up on my way home from work. Its leg seems to be broken. As soon as I saw it, I immediately brought it to you."
"Dr. Xiao Zhou, please quickly take a look at it."
As he spoke, the man's eyes were full of worry and concern.
And Lin Ye, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but sigh softly:
"There are still good people in the world."
However, just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"He's lying!"
"Huh?" Hearing this sudden voice, Lin Ye immediately turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Soon, he discovered that the one who had just spoken was actually a one-eyed tabby cat.
The one-eyed tabby cat was currently confined in an iron cage. Unlike other sweet-looking cats, it had a fierce appearance and a very cold demeanor, like a boss. It paced back and forth in the cage, glaring with its single eye at the young man holding the small cat not far away.
"Was that you talking just now?" Lin Ye cautiously walked to its cage and asked.
"It was me. You can call me Sang Biao."
"Hmm? Who gave you that name?"
"They all call me that. I don't know what the name means." As it spoke, the tabby cat licked its right front paw.
"Who did you say was lying just now?"
"That man, he's lying. I smell the scent of lies on him, and the little cat in his arms seems very afraid of him."
Hearing the one-eyed tabby cat say this, Lin Ye immediately looked at the small tuxedo cat that was being examined.
Indeed, just as the one-eyed tabby cat said, its body was trembling violently, and there was a hint of fear in its eyes.
Especially when the young man who brought it over reached out to touch it, its reaction became even more intense.
The next second, it suddenly spoke.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
When Lin Ye heard the kitten's words, his gaze towards the young man changed.
"It seems he really is lying."
Just as he realized something, the voice of the female staff member from earlier suddenly came from the side.
"Sir, I've prepared the items you wanted."
