I’m Really Scared
Chapter 77: Getting the License

After a long journey, Guan Shan finally brought Shen Dinghua back home.

Standing at the door, Guan Shan stopped in his tracks.

Shen Dinghua took a step forward, then turned around and tilted her head when she noticed him standing still. "What's wrong, Xiao Shan?"

Guan Shan replied seriously, "I think we can't keep going like this..."

Shen Dinghua blinked, then said, "So... should we get our licenses tomorrow?"

Guan Shan was speechless.

He looked at Shen Dinghua and pretended to be calm. "What license?"

Shen Dinghua, with a mischievous expression, replied, "A pet license, of course."

She pointed to the caged tabby cat and said matter-of-factly, "We need to go to the police station to fill out the application form and get a 'Pet Ownership License.' We need to be law-abiding citizens, Xiao Shan. We can't do without it."

Guan Shan was at a loss for words. He grumbled, "Of course we need to get it!"

He took two steps forward and then realized he had been sidetracked. "No, what I meant to say is that since Zhao Hong's case is completely over, you don't need to stay at my place anymore. Besides, if your parents find out..."

"Eh? Are we separating?"

"Don't make it sound like a divorce cooling-off period!"

"Isn't it?"

"We're not even married, so how could we be divorcing?"

"Then let's get our licenses!"

"Pet license?"

"Marriage license, of course~"

Guan Shan replied coldly, "No marriage, next."

He had no doubt that if he hesitated, Xiao Shen would suggest getting a marriage certificate for the tabby cat and its seven husbands.

Shen Dinghua feigned disappointment and confusion, lowering her head and looking pitiful. "Oh, really not getting married..."

Even though he knew her acting was fake, how could anyone resist responding?

Guan Shan couldn't help but say, "I..."

Shen Dinghua touched her chin, turned her head seriously, and said, "On second thought, it doesn't really matter if the cat doesn't have a marriage certificate."

Guan Shan was speechless.

He felt defeated.

Shen Dinghua happily pulled the dazed Guan Shan inside, her tone cheerful, "Alright, I've been bothering you for a few days. I'll pack my clothes and go back home."

Guan Shan was taken aback, thinking she might be upset. He said softly, "I didn't mean to drive you away..."

Shen Dinghua nodded, "I know."

She looked back at Guan Shan, blinked, and slid her finger up his arm to poke his chest, smiling playfully, "I don't have to live in Guan Shan's house, but I must live in his heart."

Guan Shan wondered if Xiao Shen's hand was electrified, because it felt... ticklish and tingly in his heart.

He turned his head, pretending to be disgusted, "So corny."

Shen Dinghua didn't care what he said, only what she saw. She happily hummed a tune and went to pack her things.

Guan Shan placed the tabby cat's carrier on the first floor, changed its food, and tidied up himself.

After a nap, he said goodbye to Shen Dinghua and took the cat to the hospital for a check-up and vaccinations.

The vet was chatty and asked, "What's the cat's name? Have you named it?"

Guan Shan thought for a moment. They hadn't named the cat yet. He thought and said, "Let's call it 'Ali,' simple and easy to remember."

Thus, the tabby cat was officially named "Ali."

After the shots, Guan Shan went to get a pet ownership license. It was a bit of a hassle, but he called the Special Security Group, and it was quickly resolved.

Yes, very convenient.

In the afternoon, Guan Shan found a reliable pet store, explained his requirements, and left Ali there for now. He also arranged for it to socialize with some soon-to-be-in-heat male cats...

Ali's eyes flickered, observing the pet store's environment.

If it was just a foster home... wouldn't it have a chance to escape? Just as it was thinking that, it felt a shadow cast over its head.

It was Guan Shan squatting down, looking at the cat in the carrier, smiling gently, "Don't be afraid. I'll come to see you every day until you have your kittens. Then we'll take you to get spayed. If anything happens, the pet store will contact me and Xiao Shen."

Ali: "..."

Demon! This demon! Ali screamed in its mind, but of course, Guan Shan couldn't hear it.

After leaving the pet store, Guan Shan went home, picked up his Night Demon summoning gear, and headed to a small town called "Boxiang Town" five kilometers away.

Guan Shan had already found the warehouse he wanted to rent online, which was in this town.

The warehouse used to be a supermarket's cold storage, but after the supermarket closed, it was left idle.

The place wasn't very big compared to a regular storage warehouse, only about 200 square meters.

The landlord, surnamed Zhang, was a man in his thirties. When he saw how young Guan Shan looked, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Although the place wasn't big, it was 3,000 yuan a month, with a twelve-month lease minimum, making it 36,000 yuan. Normally, someone his age couldn't come up with that kind of money.

But he could be using his parents' money to start a business.

After showing Guan Shan around, the landlord asked as usual, "What are you planning to use this place for?"

Guan Shan thought for a moment and said, "An art storage."

And why not? If he took out the items from his backpack for others to see, each one would be considered a high-end artwork.

The landlord was stunned, art storage? Oh... now he understood. Probably a rich kid looking for fun.

Guan Shan laughed and added, "Not real art, just home decorations. Otherwise, why would I rent here? I'd store them in a bank for safety."

The landlord laughed, "True, are you planning to do business?"

Guan Shan casually nodded, chatted a bit, signed the contract, and paid the money. The warehouse was officially his.

If it were a proper large warehouse, he might have needed a business license. But for a small personal warehouse like this, there weren't as many formalities.

"Phew... I can finally clear my backpack. After the last simulation, my backpack was almost full. It's quite a headache."

Guan Shan saw the landlord off and looked at the empty warehouse, thinking he might need to get some other things to fill it up.

Otherwise, it would look too strange.

It wasn't that he thought he couldn't store things at home, but these items had volume. Keeping them at home would make it very cramped.

He pulled down the roller door.

He took out the [Furnace Core] and placed it on the floor in front of him.

The core was a glowing ball the size of a basketball, resembling molten lava, constantly emitting light and heat, even rolling.

Like a small sun.

It floated in mid-air, with shadows forming around it, depicting a scene of "a group of craftsmen working around a forge."

Though... the dozens of craftsmen holding tongs and hammers were skeletons with ghostly flames in their eyes.

They were as tall as normal people, not only working but also discussing and checking the quality of the metal, looking very lifelike.

But Guan Shan couldn't touch them anyway.

Guan Shan placed the [Yellow Springs Hundred Forged Steel] into the core, and it immediately fell into the hands of these craftsmen spirits.

They cheered, waving their hands as if they had found a rare treasure. The flames in their eyes surged, and they began working on forging.

The simulator also displayed a new prompt.
