The live-streamed object exploration made me release that bird.

Chapter 45 The Special Stray Dog Reappears

"Old Master Chu, so you knew Xiao Xun all along?"

At the entrance of Jiang's Restaurant, Jiang Ran was quite surprised to see Yang Xun and Chu Tai greeting each other as they came out, chatting and laughing.

Chu Tai laughed and said, "Xiao Ran, what's so strange about that? Xiao Yang helped me find the golden turtle before, so we naturally know each other."

Furthermore, I heard that Xiao Ran, you lost my turtle, and it was Xiao Yang who helped you find it.

"Mr. Chu, yes, if Xiao Xun hadn't come to my restaurant that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the turtle that was a birthday gift for you. Fortunately, Xiao Xun appeared in time to help me find the turtle, otherwise I really wouldn't know where to get a turtle of that quality to give to you as a birthday gift."

Jiang Ran admitted the truth.

Now she understood why Chu Hanxue had told her not to reveal her family members to Yang Xun. Chu Tai probably didn't know that Chu Hanxue and Yang Xun knew each other, and Chu Hanxue didn't want her grandfather to know that she knew Yang Xun, nor did she want Yang Xun to know that Chu Tai was Chu Hanxue's grandfather. There must be some hidden story behind this.

"Little Yang is really resourceful; he helped you find your pigeon again today, Awang."

Chu Tai praised it highly, then added, "It's a pity that my granddaughter, for some reason, refuses to come and eat with me."

A smile flashed across Jiang Ran's face. Naturally, the reason why Chu Hanxue didn't come over was that she didn't want her grandfather to know that she knew Yang Xun.

"Brother Tai, Xiao Yang, thank you so much. Without you, my pigeons wouldn't have come back. Come on, let's go inside."

As the host, Dong Wang expressed his gratitude once again before leading the way inside.

About half an hour later, the dinner ended, and Yang Xun got into his car and went back to his rented room.

Back in the lobby of the rented apartment, Yang Xun finally had time to calculate his gains.

For helping Dong Wang find his pigeon, he received a thank-you fee of 50,000 yuan. Combined with the previous 40,000 yuan and several thousand yuan from the live streaming platform, his savings were once again close to 100,000 yuan.

As for the exploration points, finding the pigeon will earn you a total of 300 exploration points, which, combined with the previous 1780 points, will bring your total to 2080 points.

Because he had been troubled by the small detection range, Yang Xun suppressed the urge to activate active detection and directly consumed two thousand detection points to upgrade the detection radar.

Ding.

[The object detection radar has been successfully upgraded. It can now detect objects within a 4-kilometer range. The next upgrade requires 4,000 object detection points.]

Yang Xun looked at the system's prompts with a little excitement, and understood that the detection value required for each upgrade of the object detection radar was to double the original value.

The detection distance also doubled.

In other words, the next upgrade of the object detection radar will increase the detection range to within eight kilometers.

However, with only 80 exploration points remaining, accumulating 4,000 exploration points will not be an easy task.

Therefore, Yang Xun opened the private messages on the live streaming platform again to see what kind of requests were likely to trigger delegation.

Xu Ming: "Host, your ability to find pets is truly unique. My dog ​​is missing. Could you help me find it? However, I can't afford to pay too much. I only bought the dog for 100 yuan. I'm willing to pay 500 yuan to ask you to help me find it."

Yang Xun was initially uninterested in this message from a netizen, but after going through all his private messages, he found that this message was the easiest to trigger the object search and the easiest to complete.

So he replied, "Hello, Brother Xu, are you in the same city as me? If it's too far, your 500 yuan won't be enough for travel expenses. If we're in the same city, let's meet somewhere tomorrow and talk."

Xu Ming, perhaps online at the time, immediately replied: "Host, we're in the same city, so it's settled then. Host, let's add each other on WeChat and meet tomorrow."

"OK."

After adding Xu Ming's verified account on WeChat, Yang Xun chatted with him for a while. Then, while taking a shower and preparing to rest, "Little Kitty" sent him a message.

Kitten: "Host, do you have any confirmed live item hunting shows tomorrow?"

Yang Xun replied without hiding anything: "Little kitty, not at the moment, but a netizen from the same city has lost a dog. I'll know whether to look for the dog after I meet him tomorrow."

Little Kitten: "Oh, I see. Then you can rest, I won't bother you anymore."

"Um."

Yang Xun found "Little Kitty's" behavior very strange. He rushed over to ask about it with great interest, and then quickly went offline. Was it because it was bored, or was there some other reason?

After a moment, Yang Xun didn't think much of it and lay down to rest.

The next day.

Having arranged to meet Xu Ming at his home, Yang Xun got up, ate breakfast, and drove to the location Xu Ming had sent him.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Xun arrived at an ordinary residential house and met Xu Ming, who was in his forties.

After Xu Ming served Yang Xun a cup of tea, he said, "Host, here's what happened. A few days ago, I bought a small mongrel from an old man. After keeping it for a few days, I thought it wouldn't run around anymore, so I untied the leash. But yesterday, the mongrel disappeared. I searched all around the neighborhood, but I still couldn't find it."

Originally, if this little mongrel I bought for 100 yuan were simply gone, it would be fine. But this little mongrel is very smart, so I'm willing to spend 500 yuan to ask you, the streamer, to help me find it.

Ding.

[Case Found: Xu Ming has been asked to find a small black dog. Accept? Refuse?]

As expected, the object-finding mission was triggered, and Yang Xun was overjoyed. But then he suddenly paused, wondering why the name Xu Ming, the little dog, and the old man seemed so familiar.

A few seconds later, Yang Xun slapped his forehead and remembered.

When I first initiated an active object search, the first piece of information I received was from the name Xu Ming.

Xu Ming looked at Yang Xun with a puzzled expression: "Host, what's wrong with you? It's not that I don't want to give you more money, it's just that that little mongrel isn't worth me spending more money to find. If you don't want to, it's fine."

"Brother Xu, it's nothing. I promise to help you look for it, but whether we can find it or not is another matter."

Coming to his senses, Yang Xun, who had secretly accepted the commission, replied.

Xu Ming exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, okay, thank you, host! As long as you help me find my little dog, I guarantee I'll find him!"

"Brother Xu, I can't guarantee that."

Yang Xun replied again, and then clicked on the specific location of the little black dog.

Unfortunately, no red dots were flashing on the system map, which had been upgraded to a range of four kilometers.

Afterwards, Yang Xun pretended to inspect the place where the little black dog had lived, and then made an excuse to ask Xu Ming to take him to the place where he bought the little black dog.

Because the little black dog had gone missing, Yang Xun's most likely thought was not that it had been stolen, but that it had run back to its original owner's place, which was the old man who sold the little black dog to Xu Ming.

To find the old man's home, the most likely way is to look around the area where he sells his black dog at his stall; that will make it easier to find his home.

Xu Ming, though confused, quickly led Yang Xun to an ordinary street lined with stalls: "Host, it was on this street that I ran into that old man again, and that little mongrel hadn't sold, so I bought it. I didn't expect it to disappear after only a few days. Host, you don't suspect that the missing mongrel has come back to these places, do you?"

"Brother Xu, just come with me."

Yang Xun opened the system map again and found a red dot flashing at the edge of the map. He was secretly delighted, but without showing any emotion, he said something to Xu Ming and then got into the car and headed to the place where the red dot was flashing.
