In fact, the vast majority of people present felt that Wei Qiang was making a fuss unreasonably.
Not to mention rare pets like pythons, stag beetles, or salamanders, even cats rarely know how to fetch balls, so can you say cats are not pets? Wei Qiang was just causing trouble because he had no customers.
So, everyone thought that Su Jing didn't need to pay attention to Wei Qiang and didn't understand why Su Jing was going along with Wei Qiang's demands.
Then, Su Jing first opened the glass tank containing the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly, tore a small piece of tissue, rolled it into a small ball the size of a finger, and flicked it out, saying, "Go and pick up the paper ball."
This made everyone present widen their eyes in shock. It must be a joke, right? Asking a butterfly to pick up a paper ball, butterflies are not dogs, how could they be so obedient? Even Zhu Jianhua, who was used to seeing Su Jing command animals, found it hard to believe, thinking that Su Jing was really going too far this time. After all, cats could still be勉强 accepted, but a butterfly? Impossible.
But as soon as Su Jing finished speaking, the butterfly in the glass tank flew out. The burly man, the thin old man, the short-haired middle-aged woman, and others all cried out in alarm. Zhu Jianhua's heart leaped to his throat. This butterfly, worth over 150,000 yuan, had just flown out. It was as if 150,000 yuan had suddenly been blown away by the wind. How could they not be anxious?
"Don't let it escape," the burly man rushed forward, trying to catch the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly.
"Stop, don't hurt it," the thin old man quickly held back the burly man.
"Quick, get a net," the short-haired middle-aged woman was in a panic, and the petite and charming woman ran out to find a net.
Just as everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, they saw the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly fly towards the paper ball that Su Jing had thrown to the ground, land on it, grab it, and fly up, then bring the paper ball to Su Jing. Su Jing extended his hand, and the butterfly placed the paper ball in Su Jing's hand, then landed on Su Jing's shoulder.
"Damn, it really can listen."
"Am I seeing things?"
Everyone was stunned. The professionals like the burly man, the thin old man, and the short-haired middle-aged woman were speechless. They had lived their whole lives and seen countless insect pets, but they had never seen one that could listen. This was simply mind-blowing.
Wei Qiang stood there, looking at the even more frenzied expressions of everyone around him, feeling extremely regretful. This was a perfect performance he had orchestrated, not only making him the villain and a clown, but also elevating the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly to a new level.
"What's going on, are you still going to catch the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly?" The petite and charming woman finally got the net and ran back, only to see everyone with blank expressions.
"Didn't you see the butterfly land on that young man's shoulder? This butterfly really can listen and actually picked up the paper ball," the short-haired middle-aged woman said in shock.
"What?" The petite and charming woman was stunned, then stomped her foot, "Oh, I missed such a wonderful moment." She was almost regretting it, wishing she hadn't gone to get the net.
"How about it, Mr. Wei, do you still think this butterfly is not a pet?" Su Jing smiled at Wei Qiang.
"Humph." Wei Qiang was speechless, coldly snorted, and turned to leave. Although he wanted to argue, what could he argue with? The other person's butterfly could fetch things like a dog, so if this isn't a pet, what is? He was extremely frustrated, thinking that it seemed butterflies could be trained these days, and maybe he was just too out of touch.
The reason this butterfly could be so obedient was, of course, because Su Jing had done something, but it wasn't the function of the All-Beast Card. Butterflies, like crickets, have very low intelligence. Although they can understand what others say through the All-Beast Card, it's hard to communicate effectively. It's like talking to a mentally challenged person; they can understand some extremely simple things, but you can't have a normal conversation with them. Just like when Su Jing communicated with the cricket, it was like talking to a mentally ill person, and he almost became mentally ill himself.
This time, Su Jing used his mental animal training ability. For low-intelligence animals like butterflies and crickets, mental training is very easy. If taming a pigeon requires 1 point of mental energy, taming a butterfly or cricket would only require 0.1 points. Directly commanding them to pick up the paper ball was relatively simple.
"Mr. Shen, where are you?" The short-haired middle-aged woman walked to a corner and called Shen Hong.
"I'm not feeling well, resting at home. Have you arrived at the Zhongyun World Expo Exhibition Hall?" Shen Hong said.
"Yes, one of your Perfect Pet Paradise employees has a Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly. Do you know about this?"
"I don't know, but it's just a Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly, probably a captive-bred one. Why are you so excited?"
"This one is definitely not captive-bred. Its appearance is perfect to the extreme. I've seen countless specimens and photos of Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterflies, but compared to this one, they are all just supporting roles. And this butterfly can actually understand human speech and fetch a paper ball like a dog."
"Is that so?" Shen Hong was intrigued.
"So, could you please talk to that employee and ask him to give me the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing butterfly? He should give you face."
"What's his name? I'll have Jiayao ask."
"His name is Su Jing."
"What did you say his name is?" Shen Hong was stunned. Wasn't the young man who bought the cats, dogs, and rosewood from the Su family village also named Su Jing?
"His name is Su Jing, with the left side being the king radical and the right side being the landscape character." The short-haired middle-aged woman repeated.
"I'll ask." Shen Hong immediately called Shen Jiayao and, after clarifying the situation, was amazed. It really was that country boy. He thought that the young man seemed to have more cards up his sleeve than he imagined. However, after understanding the situation, he had to politely decline the short-haired middle-aged woman because Su Jing was not an employee of Perfect Pet Paradise and had no face to give. If she wanted to buy the butterfly, she would have to rely on her own abilities.
