Trainer? I’m just an ordinary hot spring owner.

The long-haired dog is already several dozen years old. His ability to understand Jiang Cheng’s words is far superior to that of the flamingo. They are both thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to hide things from him.
“Your current condition is not optimistic, but the doctor also told me that your current health can still hold on for a while. I know you are worried about this child, but it is not a good idea for you to wander around with this little guy. I also know what your concerns are…”
Jiang Cheng said this without further explanation, but turned his gaze towards the flaming cat that was still pricking its fur.
You must not speak too bluntly in front of children. Just get the gist of the situation.
When the old and shrewd long-haired dog saw Jiang Cheng’s eyes, he naturally understood what you meant. It would be better to say that what he has been concerned about all along is this child.
In the original book, the long-haired dog held on until the flamingo and the silly thing established a bond, but finally couldn’t hold on anymore and passed away.
It can be said that the long-haired dog does not worry about what will happen after he dies. After all, his owner has passed away, and he does not have much time left. There is no point in living. But it is different with the little flamingo. After living with it for these days, he has already regarded this little guy as his own child. How can he just leave it alone?
The same is true when bringing the flamingo to a human gathering area, and the same is true when setting up this temporary habitat in the sewer. As long as the little guy is noticed and tamed by someone and never comes back, he will quietly wait for his own end in the dark.
And now, finally there is a human willing to form a bond with this little guy, how can I miss this opportunity?
“Woof…” Seeing the look in the long-haired dog’s eyes, Jiang Cheng knew that the dog understood him and what he meant. They all reached a very basic consensus – everything is for the children!
Jiang Cheng gave a look, indicating that he would cooperate well, and the long-haired dog nodded secretly, indicating that he just had to wait and see.
Jiang Cheng looked at the little flamingo again: “I just asked the doctor, the long-haired dog’s current condition is not optimistic. It has been lacking food for a long time, and its body is weak. It must get professional treatment. It can’t live in that sewer. It’s too humid, which is not conducive to wound recovery. How about this, you follow me.”
Litten stared at Jiang Cheng closely, with a pair of big yellow eyes filled with alertness and confusion, and his little brain was working frantically: “What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean…”
The little Litten is actually quite smart, but the long string of words Jiang Cheng just said was like asking the little Litten to do listening and reading before it had learned all the ABCs. The long and difficult sentence at the beginning almost burned out the little guy’s CPU.
Looking at Litten’s expression, Jiang Cheng knew that this little guy probably didn’t understand. After all, he had seen this kind of clear expression almost every day when he was educating Erguiyan and Zhenyifa. The little thoughts of these little guys were too obvious and everything was written on their faces.
Jiang Cheng decided to lower the difficulty: “He is sick” Jiang Cheng made a weak gesture “Lack of food” Jiang Cheng made a gesture of eating “And treatment” “The sewer is not good” Jiang Cheng crossed his hands in front of his chest “You, follow me”
After talking and gesturing, finally, the face of the flamingo showed the same expression as Lu Bu after listening to Wang Situ’s speech. It was like the clouds were cleared and the sun was shining, and everything in its mind was suddenly enlightened. However, it still looked at the long-haired dog.
The shaggy dog hummed softly.
The long-haired dog’s words have a very good effect on the flamingo. You can choose not to listen to Jiang Cheng’s words, but you have to listen to the long-haired dog’s words 100, right?
“Okay, the long-haired dog’s body can’t stand any more delays. Let’s set off quickly and hurry to my house first.”
Jiang Cheng was a little anxious, not because he was anxious about fooling the tabby cat, but because of the long-haired dog’s attitude.
Jiang Cheng also knew about the long-haired dog’s condition. It was purely due to the end of its lifespan, and it was difficult to change it with human power. However, given the long-haired dog’s current physical condition, how long could it last?
Living in a damp and dark sewer all day, lacking food and clothing, and suffering from long-term malnutrition, this is undoubtedly a journey to the end of an already limited lifespan. Jiang Cheng can understand the long-haired dog’s longing for its original owner, but to tell him to ignore such a life and let it disappear, it is really hard for him to accept.
Jiang Cheng’s attitude is very simple. You can say he is selfish, but if he wants to die, he cannot die in front of me. Since I have seen him, I will do my best to save him. As for the life span being over and the human affairs not yet completed, what is the destiny?
It just so happens that I have some snack experiment results these days, and I can try them on the long-haired dog.
Even if it cannot be cured, if you feed and drink the long-haired dog well and take care of it, you can greatly prolong its survival time.
Let this gentle and kind big guy stay with the flamingo for a while longer, even for one more day.
With this idea in mind, Jiang Cheng asked Miller to bring the shaggy dog with him, and everyone followed the original procedure and rushed back to the hot spring hotel.
When they arrived at the gate of the hot spring center, Jiang Cheng carried the long-haired dog off Millerton’s back and took it all the way to the healing pool.
After putting it into the pool, Jiang Cheng looked at the system prompt [Wild long-haired dogs have arrived]
[Long-haired dog’s condition: hungry, weak, lacking vitality, and about to die]
【Healing process in progress】
Jiang Cheng watched the healing pool start to work, nodded, and turned to go to the kitchen. He had something good to try on the long-haired dog.
Chapter 234: The Power of New Cuisine
After a while, Jiang Cheng came back from the kitchen with a plate of salad in his hand.
“Come, try it, this thing is very nutritious!”
This is not an ordinary salad, it is Jiang Cheng’s experimental work two days ago!
【Orange Coral Salad】
[After consumption, you can restore 15% of your maximum health and gain a temporary talent: regeneration, which lasts for 10 minutes]
This was when Jiang Cheng was feeding Good and Bad Star yesterday, when he suddenly had an idea. He mixed orange fruits and branches of sun coral together, added some seasonings and sauces, and handed it to Good and Bad Star. His original intention was to improve the taste of Good and Bad Star. After all, although it is okay to chew the branches raw, it sounds more high-end when made into a dish.
Who would have thought that it was actually useful? This thing was directly judged by the system as a qualified snack and even had special effects.
Regeneration talent! Think about what Pokémon have regeneration?
(At this point you can think of Ferrari’s ditty)
Slowpoke, can be reborn after losing its tail as easily as taking something out of a bag; Good and Bad Star, can replace the tentacles on its body at any time; Sun Coral, keeps growing throughout its life; Exposed Ball Mushroom, has an extremely filthy front; Artificial Cell Egg, can be reborn on the spot with just a drop of essence and blood.
It’s just that Good and Bad Star itself has the gift of regeneration, so there’s no way to observe the effect after eating it. Jiang Cheng chose to make a plate for himself. It must be said that the branches of the sun coral tasted really good.
After eating it, Jiang Cheng cut his arm with a knife and saw that the wound on his arm healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, not even a trace could be seen.
Jiang Cheng was extremely surprised at the time. With this dish, couldn’t he prepare a small portion at any time, and after eating it, he could transform into a monkey version of Wolverine for 10 minutes?
Things like regeneration of severed fingers and regeneration by dripping blood are all no problem!
Jiang Cheng took it out at this time because he wanted to see if this regenerative talent could also work on the long-haired dog.
The current condition of the long-haired dog is too bad. If the long-haired dog’s hair can be shaved, it will definitely become a skinny big dog with high ribs. Jiang Cheng hopes that through this short-term transplantation property of the dish, the long-haired dog can recover faster.
Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day!
Especially the talent of regeneration, Pokémon that possess it are very strong in terms of lifespan. It can be said that one pet can be passed down for three generations, and there is no problem at all that the pet is still there after the person dies. If possible, Jiang Cheng wants to try whether this thing can extend the life of the long-haired dog.
“Eat this first. Then I prepared some meat and some tree fruit feast for you. I didn’t buy the energy cubes. I’ll see if I can get some later.”
Jiang Cheng took three plates and placed them in front of the long-haired dog. Each portion was not very large. The long-haired dog had been lacking food for a long time. Now that it had food to eat, it could not eat too much or too fast, otherwise it would not be saving life, but was killing it.
Provide sufficient nutrition in all aspects, let the long-haired dog eat a meal first, and then observe the situation later to decide the amount and proportion of feeding.
The long-haired dog lowered its head and looked at the blue and red plate of indescribable food.
The orange fruit sounds like an orange fruit, but it is actually blue, while the branches of the sun coral are as bright red as rubies. When these two things are mixed together, there is a kind of Hakka cuisine beauty.
The long-haired dog didn’t suspect anything and just lowered its head to start eating. It trusts humans very much. Moreover, in this hot spring pool, the long-haired dog feels very comfortable and even feels like its strength is recovering.
After taking two bites, Jiang Cheng clicked on the long-haired dog’s information. Sure enough, the intimidating characteristic had changed into regenerative power.
At this moment, the long-haired dog seemed to be stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered its head and began to eat the remaining dishes of food.
The piece of meat disappeared in just two bites, and the fruits were eaten one by one. The food prepared by Jiang Cheng was eaten up by the long-haired dog in just two bites.
“Woof…” The long-haired dog barked at Jiang Cheng, indicating that he still wanted to eat.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Still want to eat?
Although the long-haired dog made a request, Jiang Cheng did not dare to agree easily. The long-haired dog was too old and no mistakes could be made. The recovery work had to be done with extreme caution.
However, he couldn’t be sure whether the reason why the long-haired dog looked listless just now and suddenly had a good appetite was related to the medicine he had just given it… or the food he had just given it, so Jiang Cheng opened the system panel again and began to check it carefully.
【Long-haired dog (cooking in effect)】
[Status: Hungry, weak, lifespan is almost up, vitality is recovering due to the characteristics, food energy is needed]
“Wow, it really works!” Jiang Cheng looked surprised.
This is our regenerative characteristic! It is really regenerative! Do you have such a characteristic? !
Jiang Cheng also instantly understood why the long-haired dog was so hungry. Although it has its own characteristics, Pokémon still has to talk about JBF. It can’t be purely idealistic. If you don’t respect Newton, at least respect Thomas Young, right?
Repairing the body requires a lot of energy. Where does the energy come from? Naturally, it comes from food.
After figuring this out, Jiang Chengli immediately brought Liliae and a lot of food to the long-haired dog again, feeding it one dish at a time.
The long-haired dog also accepted everything you gave it. It would eat whatever you gave it. The long-haired dog’s body looked like it was being blown up with a balloon, and it became visibly plumper.
The flamingo standing beside them was stunned, huh?
This…is this still the long-haired dog daddy I know?
In the little guy’s impression, the long-haired dog daddy has always been calm but very weak. He does everything slowly, walks slowly, releases his moves slowly, and eats even slowly.
The long-haired dog and the flamingo cat have been wandering outside for a long time. The long-haired dog would only take a few bites of food and then stop, leaving the rest to the flamingo cat. Therefore, in the flamingo cat’s impression, the long-haired dog has a small appetite and doesn’t eat much.
But this time, at this moment, Litten’s previous worldview seemed to be suddenly broken.
The long-haired dog dad is still eating. Now he has eaten the amount from the previous week, and he is still eating!
Finally, as time passed quickly, ten minutes passed quickly and the long-haired dog stopped eating, allowing the flamingo to breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now it started to get a little scared. How can I feed my long-haired dog if it eats like this?
At this moment, the long-haired dog standing in the hot spring therapy pool is completely different from before!
Chapter 235: Living off others
After a hearty meal, it was visibly apparent that the long-haired dog’s condition had improved significantly!
From the extremely exhausted state when I first came to the hot spring center, my physique has changed from being skinny to a relatively thin one now.
I have more energy to move. In my previous state, I had difficulty taking two steps, but now I can stand in the healing pool very steadily!
Let’s take a look at the actual status of the long-haired dog. At a glance: [Long-haired dog (healing)]
[Status: Weak (weak), life span is almost over, vitality is recovering due to the characteristics, maximum health is slowly healing]
The weak state has been significantly weakened, and the hunger state has disappeared. It seems that he is full. The indexes in other aspects have obviously recovered.
Originally, Jiang Cheng was still feeling regretful, wondering why he could only recover so little. It was obviously not in line with his own recovery status. His own condition was healed in a flash, without any stuttering at all.
But after thinking about it carefully, the long-haired dog’s life energy is so depleted. How much can the long-haired dog eat in ten minutes of recovery time? It also takes a certain amount of time for foreign substances to be converted into energy. Under this chain reaction, it is normal for the long-haired dog to recover more slowly.
It seems that next time I have to try using energy cubes. This thing has high energy content and is small in size. Eating one cube can basically meet Pokémon’s daily dietary needs. It tastes good too, and is more like jelly to Pokémon.
It is easier for long-haired dogs to eat and they can replenish their energy faster, so the effect should be better.
While Jiang Cheng was thinking, Litten had already happily rushed to the front of the long-haired dog, but as a fire-type kitten, it was a little hesitant when it reached the healing pool.
But after looking at the long-haired dog, its eyes became determined again.
It stuck out its little butt, shook its body, lowered its body, and pounced suddenly. Ka! It was hanging on the long-haired dog. After rubbing twice, the little fiery cat came to the back of the long-haired dog. The hot steam made it feel comfortable and its head was a little dizzy.
“Your current condition is better than before, but you still need to continue with follow-up treatment. I will do my best to adjust your condition back to normal. You still need to pay more attention to your children’s education, and try to take good care of yourself.”
The flaming cat looked at the recovered long-haired dog, then looked at Jiang Cheng, and began to feel a little more favorable towards the human in front of him.
[Fiery Cat’s current favorability towards you has increased: Current favorability: 15]
[You can now communicate with the Litten normally]
The long-haired dog nudged Jiang Cheng’s big hand with its head and barked softly.
“You don’t want to eat and drink for free? Well…how about this, you stay here and do some housekeeping work? Guide guests into my hot springs, and watch the children so they don’t jump into the pool in front. We have a lot of little ones at home, so you might be a little busy then. Of course, everything will be decided after you get better.”
“And you, little one”
Jiang Cheng looked at the Litten.
The flamingo stared at Jiang Cheng with eyes as big as bells, as if surprised at how he could suddenly understand the words of the human in front of him.
“You have a big problem. You stole things from someone’s house. The whole city knows about it. I will come to you only if the owner finds me. Otherwise, why do you think I ended up in the sewer?”
The fire-spotted cat stared at Jiang Cheng, his little brain still spinning rapidly: What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean?…
What does it mean to steal something, what does it mean to be known to the whole city, and what is the sewer?
His mind was confused, but his face was serious as he stared at Jiang Cheng.
Seeing the other person looking at Ding Zhen, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but sigh slightly and reached out his hand to touch his head.
When the fire-spotted cat saw Jiang Cheng’s hand reaching out, its whole body began to lean back and its little head kept shrinking back, refusing to let him touch it.
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to retract his hand. The flamingo returned to its original posture, stretched out its front paws and began to lick, then rubbed it against his head.
