Leveling Up With My Pet-Chapter 4 Strength Skill Level 15

Liu Yong woke up early on a morning with the intention of job searching, but he soon found himself chuckling that it was Saturday.

Many companies are closed on weekends, meaning his job search might have to wait until the following week.

After realizing he could continue his job search by sending his resume to potential employers online, Liu Yong sat down and did just that.

He then planned to step out and grab a quick breakfast, but suddenly the phone rang before he could even start to eat the breakfast.

"Brother Yong, I'm here outside. Haven't you left yet?"

Liu Yong received a message through a phone call.

The person calling Liu Yong was his best friend, Hu Shijun. They had known each other since their university days when they were classmates and even shared a dorm room. Despite their proximity, the relationship between them was weak.

Hu Shijun had reached out to Liu Yong via WeChat the day before, informing him that he planned to visit. Liu Yong didn't expect him to arrive so early, as it was only a little past eight.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at Fatty Li's food stall."

"Okay, I just haven't had breakfast yet."

As Liu Yong continued his conversation with Hu Shijun, he went down to Fatty Li's food stall, where he often went for breakfast. At this time, it was the busiest time for breakfast, with many people bustling around and a lively atmosphere.

The benefits of being a regular customer were evident, as the owner of the food stall warmly welcomed Liu Yong, calling him by his nickname, "Xiao Liu." The owner offered him a seat and promised to provide him with a clean table.

The food stall was doing very well, making it challenging for the average person to find a seat due to the high demand.

Liu Yong could secure a recently vacated table for two, which the owner promptly cleaned. He ordered himself and his guest,

"Uncle Li, I would like two bowls of porridge, two deep-fried dough sticks, a basket of steamed dumplings, and a basket of Xiaolongbao, please."

The owner smiled and asked,

"This is for two people. Are you eating with a friend?"

"Yes, he should be here shortly,"

Liu Yong replied.

A few minutes later, Hu Shijun arrived. He was a tall and robust young man with an estimated height of over 1.8 meters.

"Brother Yong, you've already placed our order, so I'll be brief. How have you been?"

Hu Shijun said, getting straight to the point.

Sitting down carelessly, he picked up the chopsticks, stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth, and began eating with big mouthfuls, asking with concern.

As Hu Shijun sat down, he wasted no time and immediately started eating. He picked up the chopsticks, stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth, and took big bites as he spoke.

With concern, he asked Liu Yong,

"How have you been doing?"

"Brother, how is your work going?"

Liu Yong let a soft sigh as he responded to his friend's question.

"I have yet to receive any leads, but I've been sending out my resume online. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some good news shortly,"

He said.

Hu Shijun was visibly concerned for his friend. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke up.

"It's tough for us graduates from third-tier universities to find a decent job, Brother Yong. If you continue to have trouble finding employment, it could become a real problem," he said.

Hu Shijun then pulled out an envelope from his pocket, which he had prepared beforehand. The envelope contained a total of 2000 yuan. He felt hesitant about giving it, as it was a significant amount.

"Brother Yong, I was originally going to send you a red envelope through a mobile payment app, but I know you wouldn't accept it. So instead, I've brought you this 2,000 yuan. You have to take it,"

Hu Shijun said as he pushed the envelope toward Liu Yong.

Suddenly, Liu Yong was a little moved.

Touched by the gesture, Liu Yong tried to decline the offer.

"I know your income isn't high, I still have more than 1,000 yuan, so I don't need your money for now," he said.

"Brother Yong, take it. My job is fairly stable. I have no problems. Don't worry about me."

In the end, Liu Yong didn't charge his friend for 2000 yuan.

Hu Shijun was not wealthy, so what he gave to Liu Yong was almost certainly his entire fortune.

Once he has paid his wages, he will be left with very little money and have to live frugally to make ends meet. It was a generous gesture to demonstrate his willingness to put the needs of others before his own.

Hu Shijun understood Liu Yong too well and hesitated to take the money. He was familiar enough with his friend to know that taking away the money now would only put him in a difficult position.

Despite this, he still responded reassuringly, saying,

"Brother Yong, if you need it, put the money with me for the time being. Whenever you need it, just let me know."

Hu Shijun was not only a loyal friend but also a reliable confidante. He put Liu Yong's needs first, making his friend feel supported.

Liu Yong was overwhelmed with gratitude. He thanked his friend profusely, expressing his appreciation in words and gestures.

He could not express his gratitude enough for his friend's kindness.

"Thank you so much," he said, his voice full of emotion. "You have been so kind to me. I cannot thank you enough."

He bowed his head in respect, showing his appreciation.

The two were no longer discussing their work but were instead having relaxed conversations about other topics. They talked about their graduating classmates and their success in landing a prestigious jobs.

They even discussed who had already been able to buy a car. Their conversations were conducted casually and with ease, never straining the atmosphere.

Hu Shijun was talking about these situations, and Liu Yong listened more and talked less.

After breakfast, Hu Shijun got up and said,

"Then I'll go first, and I have to go to the company to work overtime later. There is a report that must be produced today."

Liu Yong sent him to the bus station, watched him get on the bus, then turned and walked towards Ink Lake, thinking in his heart on the way.

"Yesterday I ordered the little snapping turtle to look for it in the ink lake. I don't know what it found."

It took only 20 minutes to reach the lake, and soon, the little snapping turtle came over, and it grew a lot. This growth rate is gratifying.

"Master, I found something, go get it now."

The turtle swam away again and came back within a minute with what seemed to be a mobile phone in its mouth.

Liu Yong took it over and looked at it, feeling disappointed in his heart. Not only is this an old-fashioned mobile phone from many years ago, but also been soaked in the lake for so long. So it is useless.

"Are there any other things, bring them all here and let me have a look."

The little snapping turtle is like a hard-working porter. He went back and forth several times and brought a lot of things, including lighters, keys, pens, and even a mobile phone and a BP machine.

In Liu Yong's eyes, these things are all tattered and worthless.

"Little snapping turtle, these things are useless. I want something valuable. Gold is the best. You can look for it for me. Is there any gold jewelry in this lake?"

"What is gold jewelry?"

Liu Yong patiently explained and described to the little snapping turtle, unsure if it understood.

After explaining to the snapping turtle, Liu Yong left, slightly disappointed.

I wondered in my heart, could there be no valuable thing in such a big ink lake? It shouldn't be.

In the next few days, Liu Yong was busy looking for a job.

I even went to a large-scale job fair but needed more. Either he doesn't like others, or they look down on him.

"I don't have much money, and I'm flat broke."

"The rent needs to be paid in a few days. How is the snapping turtle?" 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

Back from the job fair, Liu Yong thought so and looked at the pet panel of the little snapping turtle. He was slightly pleasantly surprised, and the burden of his work suddenly became much less.

Its various attributes have exceeded 10, its strength has reached 15, and its weight has also reached 3.4 kg, which means it will soon grow to 7 cattie.

"I'm going to have a look at it."

Not long after, Liu Yong arrived at Mohu Lake, and the little snapping turtle soon swam over.

The three raised longitudinal ridges on the carapace are more prominent and look more majestic, and the teeth in the mouth are more substantial and sharper, especially the four claws that look very keen.

Liu Yong was immediately satisfied.

3 or 4 kilograms will look like this.

"What will it look like if it grows to more than ten kilograms or tens of kilograms?:

Liu Yong thought a lot.

Looking at the little snapping turtle with excitement and was about to ask if it had gained anything in the past few days. The little snapping turtle took the initiative to communicate with Liu Yong.

"Master, I found something, it may be the gold necklace you mentioned."

"Oh!" Liu Yong was pleasantly surprised, "Come here and let me have a look."

Soon, the little snapping turtle brought something in its mouth, and from a long distance, Liu Yong saw that thing was shining.

He thought that thing was for sure gold.
