Fenix meticulously read through the consequences of a dog consuming cola.
Small doses can be ignored.
Exceeding the dose can lead to symptoms such as excessive panting, accelerated heartbeat, emotional excitement.
Severe cases can lead to shock or even death.
Fenix felt like he was suffocating.
Fenix suspected that his horoscope clashed with Ferran.
Otherwise, why would Ferran, perfectly fine, end up having his stomach pumped twice after just two meals together?
Through the gaps between his paws, Fenix glanced at the scattered snack wrappers and empty cola bottles.
Yes.
He did notice that Ferran became increasingly excited while gaming, but wasn't it normal to become excited during games?
Who would have thought that soda contained caffeine!
Isn't cola just sugary water with bubbles?!
You're dirty.
You're no longer that simple soda.
You contain stimulants!
Fenix felt his worldview shaken.
The kitten took a deep breath, stood up, and followed the medical robots carrying Ferran into the infirmary.
He glanced at the lights on top of the medical robot, indicating the severity of the emergency. They were green.
Thank goodness.
Green meant minor severity, likely just a stomach wash.
In modern society, medical techniques were highly advanced. A simple stomach wash wouldn't cause pain to the patient anymore.
Perhaps this was why Ferran dared to be so reckless.
Fenix squatted outside the emergency room and opened the search engine.
Fenix never imagined that after reading cat care guides, he'd need to read dog care guides!
But it couldn't be helped.
Who told Ferran to have such poor self-management skills!
He was completely different from those clever golden retrievers who could walk themselves with their own leashes!
Fenix sighed, clicking on the most popular dog care post.
This time, he was more cautious. He first clicked the report button and, seeing no record of reports, began reading.
Coincidentally, the author also raised a golden retriever, a puppy they adopted right after weaning.
Fenix looked at the picture of the cute puppy.
Then he looked up at Ferran.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Look at how adorable that puppy is.
You lost this round, Ferran.
Fenix scrolled down and saw the author's preface before the main content.
Raising a large dog like a golden retriever is very troublesome.
You must ensure sufficient exercise, or else the dog will destroy the house due to excess energy. Also, the smell will be unbearable.
Dogs need companionship; otherwise, they might fall into depression from loneliness.
Regarding feeding, scientific methods should be used. Otherwise, problems like hair loss, indigestion, and calcium deficiency may arise.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
Fenix choked.
Why is raising a dog so much more complicated than raising a cat?
When visiting the countryside, people just fed dogs whatever they ate. Why are city people so particular?
Fenix scrolled down to the main content.
‘Golden Retriever Class starts! Lesson 1: Puppies are usually quite silly. They'll eat whatever you give them, so be careful not to overfeed them!’
?
Fenix slowly typed a question mark and continued scrolling.
‘Golden Retriever Class starts! Lesson 2: Observe the puppy’s poop!’
??
Forget it!
Fenix quickly closed the dog care guide.
Squatting outside the emergency room, Fenix watched as Ferran, who had finished his stomach wash, was wheeled out. He jumped onto the stretcher and followed them to the ward.
He abandoned the idea of reading more dog care guides and instead pulled up a list of foods that dogs should not eat or should limit.
In modern society, science is emphasized.
Superstitious beliefs like horoscopes clashing are nonsense!
As long as he was well-prepared, he wouldn't fear Ferran poisoning himself again!
Confidently, Fenix tapped the search button.
Then he saw the list, with chocolate ranked first and sugar second.
"…?"
Damn it!
What’s wrong with Ferran this dog?!
…
Lion silently closed the monitoring window.
He had activated privacy mode, so Raven didn't see anything, but he heard the alarm.
The rabbit crunched on his tea snacks and sighed, "You're not good enough, huh? Someone broke in again?"
Lion lifted an eyelid and stood up, "You should leave."
Their cooperation only agreed on the first step.
Typically, between two pirates, only the first step was necessary.
Because they might not even reach the first step before breaking their alliance or secretly sabotaging each other.
Lion and Raven understood each other but cared only about results. As long as Asmodeus disappeared and the spoils were divided 70-30 with Lion choosing first, that was enough.
So Lion directly hinted that Raven could leave.
But Raven didn't want to leave.
He rarely saw Lion's hidden side and refused to go.
Raven showed a herbivore's timid smile, "I don't have a ship anymore."
Lion paused, looked at Raven, and the corner of his mouth curved into a familiar, chilling arc.
Then he calmly blacklisted Raven from the hotel.
In just two seconds, Raven was targeted by automatic weapons hidden throughout the hotel.
He leapt up instantly, sparking and crackling, fleeing madly.
Lion glanced at the lawns destroyed by the weapons, slowly withdrawing his gaze, and instructed the bodyguard, "Fix it soon."
"Yes, boss."
Lion nodded and headed toward the infirmary.
He needed to take Fenix away.
He worried that staying with Ferran too long would turn his cat into a foolish dog.
He was already silly enough, no need for more silliness.
Arriving at the infirmary, Fenix was crouched in a corner of the ward.
If not for his bright yellow clothes, he would have blended in with the infirmary.
Lion bent down and picked up the cat, "What are you doing?"
Fenix glanced at Lion and typed solemnly, "Contemplating the origin of humans and nature."
Lion: "?"
Fenix: "Boss, why hasn't Ferran this dog managed to kill himself yet?"
Lion glanced at Fenix's terminal screen.
Next to the memo used for typing, a page titled "Ranking of Foods Dogs Should Not Eat/Must Limit" was open.
Fenix kicked his legs, signaling Lion to put him down.
Lion placed him directly on Ferran's hospital bed.
Fenix continued typing, "It's unbelievable that Ferran can still be so lively, defying biological evolution!"
Lion paused, "Awakened beings are only influenced by their Awakened forms to a certain extent… but the dosage…"
Lion stopped mid-sentence.
Ferran, as an adult who had been Awakened for years, should know his limits.
He just wanted to eat it.
Lion stated plainly, "People tend to desire things they can't have, it's human nature."
Fenix thought about it and agreed, "But this mentality is incorrect."
"Hmm?"
Lion sensed Fenix wasn't done speaking.
Fenix: "I need to find him a new hobby, maybe he'll forget about desserts!"
For today's youth, the biggest threat doesn't come from material or economic issues.
Instead, it comes from various entertainments eroding their spirits!
Who wouldn't love video games?
If not console games, then PC games; if not PC games, then tabletop games; if not tabletop games, then VR games!
No one can resist the spirit-rotting power of games!
Lion watched the kitten open a new memo page and start typing furiously.
After Fenix finished compiling the list, he prepared to have the waking Ferran play through them.
But his terminal beeped, notifying him of updates.
In the leaderboard of the game "Star Eliminator," Fenix had been leading with a significant margin for two months. Now, he was surpassed!
Fenix was shocked!
He quickly opened his social account and saw the ID "Boss" topping the leaderboard.
Fenix turned sharply to look at Lion.
Lion noticed his gaze, glanced at Fenix's terminal, and raised an eyebrow seeing his own nickname.
"Boss? Hmm?"
…
…
Damn!
Exposed!
Fenix hurriedly closed the window and swiftly renamed "Boss" to "Guardian of the Best Boss in the World."
But it didn't feel right.
After a moment's thought, he changed Lion's name to "Boss" and made "Guardian of the Best Boss in the World" his social nickname.
Fenix reopened the leaderboard: "Boss, you must have mistaken."
Lion glanced at the top two IDs on the leaderboard and nodded slowly, "Sure, raise your salary."
???
???
What the hell!
Fenix was stunned, staring blankly at Lion.
But Lion had already returned his attention to the game.
Raven's attempt to poach Fenix had made Lion realize the importance of keeping Fenix satisfied.
Since Fenix liked money, and Lion had plenty of it, it was an easy solution.
Fenix watched Lion focused on the game and let out a mental cry.
He finally understood his roommates' fangirling mentality!
Such a treasure, who wouldn't want to brag about?
Fenix, who rarely posted on social media, couldn't hold back and posted a status update.
"Guardian of the Best Boss in the World: My boss is a celestial being! Handsome and tall! Kind and considerate! Young and successful, a true marvel!"
Lion cleared another level, opened his social account, and saw Fenix's post.
He glanced at it, liked it, and commented, "Good, raise your salary. You're now earning 9,000 a month after tax."
???
???
Holy crap!
Fenix was stunned, turning to look at Lion.
Wait, does Lion enjoy flattery?!
That's perfect!
Fenix patted his leg.
Fenix excelled at flattery!
He wrote all the fan signs for Lancelot and Alfred.
Fenix confidently typed away.
"Guardian of the Best Boss in the World: Heavenly Boss Lion! Celestial Boss Lion! Majestic Boss Lion! Extraordinary Boss Lion!"
Soon, Lion liked the posts.
Curious, he added another 200 to Fenix's salary.
Fenix was instantly motivated, posting three more statuses, shocking the flattery command center.
Room 302 (4)
Alfred: "??? @Guardian of the Best Boss in the World"
Lancelot: "??? Fenny, you don't have to be like this??"
What do you mean, 'don't have to be like this?'
It's not you guys paying Fenix 9,000 a month!
Fenix huffed and typed, "You don't understand how good my boss is."
Lancelot: "Have I heard this somewhere before?"
Alfred: "Spot-on detection.jpg"
Lancelot: "You don't understand how good Athena is.jpg"
Alfred: "Love! Love! My Athena!"
Guardian of the Best Boss in the World: "Tsk, my boss pays me, can Athena do that?"
Guardian of the Best Boss in the World: "My boss provides food and lodging and raises my salary, can Athena do that?"
Just as Fenix was about to continue, he found himself muted.
Fenix's eyes widened.
Damn.
Fenix was just telling the truth!
Do you guys have any conscience?!
Fenix opened a private chat with Lancelot, ready to vent, but was picked up by Lion.
"It's getting dark, let's have dinner and then go for night training."
Fenix quickly closed the chat with Lancelot and obediently typed, "Sure, boss, no problem, boss, you're so nice, caring about me!"
Lion looked down at Fenix.
Fenix tried to show sincerity with his cat face, "I've never had a better boss than you!"
"Good." Lion nodded, "Looks like you're suitable for the role of a psychological counselor. Raise your salary."
???
Fenix was stunned.
My god!
What kind of living Buddha is Lion?!
