Chapter 5, Photographic Memory

Once the elder brother returns, I will borrow his words to clarify this matter with my parents, and then his decision to keep a dog will be settled.

Watching Feng Qing'an pet each puppy one by one, Er Pao inquired with great anticipation

A wolf that cannot be raised is a commonly used insult, but in reality, if one were able to raise a wolf, after a period of feeding, it could essentially be tamed.

By the way, Ango, this puppy has just been born and cannot be weaned yet. It needs to stay at my house for a while to be raised by its mother before you can take it away. Otherwise, if you just carry it back like this, I fear...

The response is still the same as last night. Feng Qing'an, who has already experienced last night, does not feel any disappointment; he is mentally prepared.

Ango, this puppy seems to be very close to you

Insufficient permissions, please become a Beast Master as soon as possible

Even the indulgent Yin family sometimes punishes their child with a broom for coming home late—despite his innate wisdom, it is of little use. He can avoid most of the beatings that ordinary children would receive, but there are some that he truly cannot escape.

Ango, how do you feel? Have you found something that you like?

He is not fixated on selecting the strongest pup from this litter of puppies, for no matter how strong it may be, it is merely a pup born from the union of a wild wolf from the mountains and a hunting dog from the village

The chubby man, having had enough of petting the dog, stood up and led Feng Qing'an to a doghouse in the backyard. When Feng Qing'an bent down, he saw a female dog lying on a pile of hay with a swollen belly, and one fluffy pup after another nestled under her belly, squinting their eyes contentedly while nursing.

Looking at the puppy that was still licking his palm, Feng Qing'an grabbed it by the neck and pulled it out of the doghouse

If there are no other influencing factors, no matter how well one is fed, it will only be useful for guarding the home or for gaining a bit more during hunting in the mountains, with little significant value.

Er Pang felt a bit embarrassed and scratched the back of his head

I ... ...

To be frank, it is difficult to distinguish between these puppies when they are calm and composed, let alone to identify the good from the bad. However, there are inevitably differences among individuals; it is just that he cannot perceive them.

Wait for me and the book father to come back, let my father take a look for you

Although Feng Qing'an finds it somewhat troublesome, it is all necessary; such matters cannot be rushed in a short period of time

What he says himself may very well be directly rejected by his parents, and he indeed has little room for resistance; whatever his parents say goes, regardless of how intelligent he may be or whether he is like an adult.

This is naturally of no concern; Feng Qing'an is focused on the system tasks. He yearns to obtain the method of cultivation, even if it seems somewhat off. However, even if he has this little pup in his hands and the owner has acknowledged his adoption, there has been no indication of any successful task completion.

That's all!

System, identification

How long do we have to wait

Seeing the pup being taken away by someone unfamiliar, the mother dog, who was nursing the remaining pups, let out a low growl. However, when Er Pang walked in and slapped its head, the mother dog fell silent.

Line ! ''

It has been well nurtured

Ango, look!

Since his elder brother, Feng Qingping, began to recognize characters and words, he possessed the ability to remember everything at a glance. While ordinary students from impoverished backgrounds borrowed books to copy them, his elder brother borrowed books to read and then transcribed them from memory

Looking at the old wolf, which, even when being played with by a child, showed no signs of aggression but instead exposed its belly and emitted a comfortable purring sound, Feng Qing'an couldn't help but click his tongue

Moreover, having a buffer of one or two months will allow him to make some preparations at home. His parents may not immediately come to terms with the idea and may not necessarily agree to him keeping a dog

However, his elder brother always strives to meet all of his requests within his capabilities, even when some of those requests border on the absurd

When Feng Qing'an first witnessed the extraordinary talents of his elder brother, he was astonished and regarded him as a celestial being. It seemed utterly unreasonable that one could participate in the imperial examination and fail to achieve a degree. However, even Feng Qing'an, who spent every day with his elder brother, underestimated him.

Because this is an old wolf, as the saying goes, an old dog knows the way. An aging wolf understands what choices to make in order to enjoy a peaceful old age, especially when its physical condition is beginning to decline in various aspects.

It is far easier to tame a wolf than to tame a human. The old wolf before me, having merely lived a comfortable life for half a year, has lost all its wildness and is no different from a domestic dog.

The remaining words were left unspoken, but Feng Qing'an naturally understood that it is difficult to sustain a person without weaning the kittens and puppies

Feng Qing'an looked at the fluffy ball in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face

However, when his elder brother went to borrow books from others, if he came across any strange tales, he would also take a look, memorize them when he returned home, and then show them to him

Line ! ''

At least one or two months!

Roar

He seems to have some difficulty persuading his parents, and his only hope lies with his elder brother. The news of his elder brother's success in the imperial examination has already reached back home. Even though there may be some delays in the capital due to various matters, he should return home within two months.

As for whether his elder brother would agree to him keeping a dog, Feng Qing'an was not worried at all; from childhood to adulthood, the one who spoiled him the most was not his parents, but his elder brother.

The true key lies within the system, which may contain methods capable of transforming ordinary beasts into extraordinary beings, for instance, enabling these common animals to become the mythical creatures found in storybooks.

Moreover, during this period, Ango, it would be best if you could come to my house every day. These puppies have not yet opened their eyes. When they do open their eyes, it would be ideal for you to be present, so that the first thing they see is you

Indeed quite charming

Feng Qing'an arrived here early in the morning, not only to complete the task of system release as soon as possible and obtain the cultivation method, but more importantly, to conduct another test. He bent down and approached those pups, simultaneously reciting in his heart.

... ...

Feng Qing'an was about to say no, but at that moment, his hand also touched the last puppy. This puppy, perhaps due to having had its fill of milk, released the nipple with its small mouth, and its pink tongue extended out to lick the palm of the hand that was touching its head, the moist sensation immediately transmitted from the palm.

If such means are available, then there is no need to be fixated on the strongest in the doghouse; it is better to choose one that catches his eye and is naturally close to him.

Since childhood, he has not loved the classics of sages and worthies, but rather enjoyed reading tales of immortals and the supernatural. However, in a poor family, such books are hard to come by, and even possessing a single book would be an extravagant affair

Feng Qing'an believed that even if the iron chain around the neck of this old wolf were to be released, it would probably not escape, nor would it harm anyone; in fact, it might even behave more docilely than a house dog
