Chapter 12

After returning home, Su Zhe placed the fighting fish from the plastic bag into the glass aquarium where he used to keep a small grass turtle. This fighting fish had absorbed a bit of divine power and was now full of energy, no longer looking sickly. It swam around in the water, very agile. After Su Zhe poured the fish into the water, he transferred 2 points of divine power to the fish, mainly to strengthen it rather than to accelerate its growth. He also fed some turtle food to the small turtle.

Turning around, he saw that the baby had already opened the cake packaging and was eating with a fork, so he didn't bother her. He put away the things he bought at the supermarket, placing the ingredients in the refrigerator. Then he washed a few carrots, cut them into pieces, and added some strawberries. He found an unused plate to put them on and fed them to the sulcata tortoise.

He went back to his room, intending to use the computer to look up some information. He pressed the power button, but the computer didn't respond after a long wait. He realized that both he and the computer had been struck by lightning that night. He opened the case and checked the monitor, but unfortunately, most of the components inside had been burned out.

If he were to take it for repair, the cost might be enough to buy a new computer, so Su Zhe decided to sell it as scrap when he had the chance.

He went to the room where the baby had slept the previous night, which also had a computer. This was the one his sister usually used at home. He had to use this computer for now.

He sat in front of the computer, pressed the start button, and the computer quickly entered the desktop. The desktop displayed a photo of him and his sister. Su Zhe remembered that this photo was taken when his parents were still alive. It seemed that since his parents passed away, he hadn't taken any photos with his sister.

While he was thinking, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was his sister calling.

"Brother, why did you send so much money? I told you I have enough," his sister's urgent voice came through.

Su Zhe shook his head and said into the phone, "Yuxin, listen to me. Don't take part-time jobs anymore. After you graduate, there will be plenty of time to work. Don't worry about money. I've earned some recently. Buy what you need, and if it's not enough, let me know."

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself," Su Yuxin's nightingale-like voice came from the phone.

"You're not a child, but do you want to fall in love? When you grow up, you don't need your brother anymore," Su Zhe teased.

"Ugh, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to class," Su Yuxin said and hung up.

Su Zhe imagined his sister, Su Yuxin, blushing. He muttered to the phone, "No matter how much you grow, you're still my sister." He put away his thoughts and opened the browser to search for some information.

The fighting fish is known for its vibrant colors and aggressive nature, with a body length generally not exceeding 13 cm. Fighting fish are divided into two types: one for ornamental purposes and one for fighting. In China, there are two main types of fighting fish: the round-tailed fighting fish and the fork-tailed fighting fish from the south. The round-tailed fighting fish has a weaker fighting ability compared to the fork-tailed fighting fish, which is slightly inferior to the Thai fighting fish. The Thai fighting fish, also known as the Siamese fighting fish, is the most beautiful and aggressive of all fighting fish. The owner of the pet shop gave Su Zhe a Thai fighting fish.

Because of the characteristics of fighting fish, Thailand has long had gambling rings that use them for fights. In recent years, this activity has also become popular in China, with considerable stakes. Potential fighting fish have been hyped to sky-high prices, and they are in high demand. This is what he learned from the internet.

Su Zhe picked up the business card and looked at the address. He suddenly became very interested in the fighting fish competition. He put away the business card, closed the information about the fighting fish, and searched online for the requirements to open a pet hospital.

He thought that with the pet exchange mall, opening a pet store or a pet hospital would be quite suitable. He believed that with his divine power and the mall, he wouldn't lose money. Opening a pet hospital was the most suitable option because it could earn both money and points.

Looking at the procedures required to open a pet hospital, he felt a headache. He didn't expect it to be so complicated. Ignoring the funding, just getting the paperwork done would take a long time. He thought about it and decided to check if there were any pet hospitals for sale or transfer.

There were quite a few on the internet, but the pet hospitals for sale were either not in Yan Yun City or did not meet his conditions. After a long search, he still couldn't find a suitable one. He turned off the computer and decided to find a real estate agent to help him find a pet hospital for sale.

The baby had already finished eating the cake and was now playing with the sulcata tortoise. Seeing that her face was covered in cake frosting, Su Zhe went to the bathroom to get a towel and helped the baby clean her face. Then he joined in the baby's game, and the two of them played with the tortoise all day long.

At 9 PM, after helping the baby take a bath and changing her into a new nightgown, he coaxed her to bed. After playing all day, the baby was tired and soon fell asleep. The sulcata tortoise also slept on the carpet Su Zhe had prepared for it.

He tidied up the house and then practiced the first form of body training in the living room.

He first practiced the boxing routine several times to adjust his body's state before starting to guide the divine power to practice the boxing routine. Just the first move made his whole body turn red and feel as if it were on fire. It was as if the divine power had turned into a flame, burning his body to achieve the effect of body training.

The first form had many movements, and a regular practice session would take about half an hour. If using divine power, the movements were more difficult to complete, and it would take an hour to finish. Now, Su Zhe could not complete a full round of the boxing routine before his divine power was exhausted. At most, he could complete a quarter of it before running out of divine power.

With the experience from the last time, he wouldn't foolishly use up all his divine power and then pass out.

He stopped when his divine power was down to half and practiced ordinary boxing to recover his strength and divine power. Although using half his divine power made him feel as if he had lost a lot of blood, at least he wouldn't lose consciousness. Once his divine power was fully restored, he guided it again to assist in the training. After two sessions, his constitution increased by 2 points, making his current 12 points of constitution much stronger than an average person's.

By this time, it was almost midnight. He ended the training, feeling uncomfortable from the sweat all over his body. He took a cold shower and went back to his room to rest. Lying in bed, he soon fell into a deep sleep. Although the boxing routine without divine power could restore his strength and divine power, it couldn't restore his mental state, which could only be recovered through adequate rest.
