Chapter 199

: Are your thoughts so complicated? (Part 1)
What if… I wish to obtain certain information from a certain location, will you, and them, be able to help?
Lu Shu asked little fury gleefully.
After hearing that, little fury started gesturing, flailing his arms around, pointing outside and making all sorts of weird actions which confused Lu Shu.
Lu Shu replied,
… Are your thoughts so complicated?

The whole room was suddenly quietened down and little fury saw that Lu Shu didn’t understand its intentions. Once again, it started its gestures and actions.
But Lu Shu was still confused and couldn’t comprehend little fury at all.
Lu Xiaoyu suddenly butted in,
It’s saying that they’re too stupid to be of any use.

Little fury nodded.
Lu Shu looked at little fury with a shocked expression, then turned to Lu Xiaoyu,
Are you serious? You can understand that?!

He suddenly realized that if he wanted little fury and its little rat brothers to become his assistants, there were two things he had to settle.
The first one would be for the rats to become smarter!
And the second would be the communication barrier between him and little fury!
As long as these two problems weren’t solved, Lu Shu would never be able to employ this simple and convenient ‘underground intelligence network’…
Looking at little fury and the rats behind it, Lu Shu suddenly felt that his choice of ‘underground intelligence network’ these three words were an overstatement for them…
In actuality, Lu Shu found the first problem easier to solve as he handed the refresher fruit to little fury,
eat it and let’s see if there are any effects.

Little fury took the refresher fruit and its mouth was already watering. The red fruit right in front of its eyes was the ladder to its evolution and just the look of it gave little fury a sense of unlimited possibilities.
Evolution, the word itself refers to the sacred origin of all species.
Humans have been multiplying for so many years, animals have been multiplying for so many years and all creatures are constantly adapting to this world. During this process, all living things have evolved.
However, these evolutions seem insignificant in the face of the magical era.
Little fury ate the whole refresher fruit in one mouth. In the next moment, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu could see the grey fur on little fury’s body falling off at a fast pace. But in place of the fallen fur, pure silvery fur was quickly growing out!
Not only that, Lu Shu noticed a fire burning within little fury’s eyes.
Lu Xiaoyu saw the new version of white little fury and was surprised,
Wow, so cute!

Finishing her sentence, she grabbed little fury and little fury also realized that… after eating the fruit, wanting a freedom of its own was still impossible…
It also had a better understanding of the human world- It turned out that human beings weren’t that strong and in fact, most of them weren’t as strong as itself.
But it couldn’t understand why Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were this strong?!
At this point, as Lu Xiaoyu caressed little fury and placed it on the ground, Lu Shu saw an unprecedented seriousness coming from little fury as it cupped its hands in front of him and took a little bow.
A pure white little fury was taking a proper bow and Lu Shu understood the meaning behind it.
Is this displaying gratitude? Lu Shu was delighted to think that little fury was a grateful squirrel.
Lu Shu smiled,
Since you’re here, we will treat you like family and there’s no need for voicing out your gratitude… Yup, you can’t talk anyway.

At this moment, Lu Shu stood up and went into the kitchen to fetch a bucket of water. Once again, he took out another refresher fruit and crushed it inside the bucket, releasing all its fruit juice. The water inside the bucket had turned slightly red from the fruit juice.
He placed the bucket in front of little fury,
Since you find them too stupid, choose those that you have faith in to drink this. I’m not sure if it would raise their intellect but it’s worth a try.

Little fury bitterly gestured again and Lu Shu looked to Lu Xiaoyu for translation.
Lu Xiaoyu explained,
What it’s trying to say is that it is such a waste, why not let it eat it instead?

Lu Shu turned to little fury and smiled,
Don’t worry, there’s more so let them drink this. But let me emphasize that you should be aware of the extent of your control over them. I don’t want any rat troubles. After all, stray rats that gained intellect will be rather annoying…

Little fury patted its chest and gestured once again, as Lu Xiaoyu explained,
Don’t worry, I used to be the leader of thousands of intelligent squirrels…

Upon hearing that, Lu Shu was stunned. Lu Xiaoyu, what kind of special ability have you unlocked?
But after what little fury said, he felt more at ease. This fella was the king of squirrels inside the remains and although it was a mere squirrel… survival of the fittest was a rule governing these animals and a few intellectual rats wouldn’t be able to beat little fury.
Speaking of which, little fury didn’t have any training and was already much stronger than other squirrels. Lu Shu wasn’t sure how the evolution of animals worked and he should probably ask the old man.
Watching little fury carry the bucket out, Lu Shu was worried that this scum might drink it all itself…
But little fury did no such thing and instead, took a small bottle cap and used it to distribute the fruit juice to the rats. The effect of the fruit on the rats was different from little fury’s as a bush of black hair grew out from the top of their heads. The hair only covered their heads and not their entire bodies.
And the gaze in their eyes was suddenly livelier after the drink.
Seeing the effect of such a small amount, the whole bucket was probably enough for a hundred over rats? Given that there was going to be a hundred over intellectual rats, Lu Shu could only hope that little fury could control them properly. As for being his intelligence network, that would have to take some time.
After all, there was still a communication barrier between him and little fury and he couldn’t always rely on Lu Xiaoyu’s translation. Who knows how accurate Lu Xiaoyu’s translations are anyways…
As to how to bridge the gap between their communication, Lu Shu pondered for half a day and finally came up with an idea.
He once again glanced at little fury in the yard and suddenly felt a bad premonition…
