Chapter 32: Tame the Crow
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
This crow was different from other crows.
Its feathers were not pure black, but even a little gray.
It was not difficult to see that there was something wrong with the crow’s genes.
As for its appearance, it was basically worthless.
For owners who liked to raise crows as pets, they preferred the pure-colored crows.
That was because the pure-colored crows meant that their bloodlines were good.
And this kind of crow with mixed fur colors belonged to a very ordinary existence.
“Boss, what’s the situation with that crow?”
Adams saw that the cage holding the crow was actually open. This crow could actually enter and exit at will, so he couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Dear Sir, this crow has been staying in my shop since last year.”
“I didn’t want to take it in at first, but it couldn’t be chased away. It has been staying in my shop all this time.”
“I saw that it was so small and its daily food didn’t cost much, so I decided to keep it,” the boss explained with a smile.
“Later, I made a cage for it. I didn’t close the cage and let it go in and out.”
“It always leaves whenever it wants. I didn’t expect it to stay until now.”
The owner looked at the mottled crow and reached out his right hand.
The mottled crow saw the owner reach out his right hand and flew down from the cage. It stood on the owner’s arm and looked very spiritual.
“Then, owner, how much is this crow?”
Seeing that the crow was so intelligent, Adams could not help but have the idea of buying it.
“Sorry, it’s not for sale.”
The owner shook his head. He looked at Adams’ disappointed expression and added with a smile, “This crow is fated to be with me, so I won’t sell it.”
“However, if you can make it willingly go with you, I’ll give it to you.”
“Not for sale? Give it to me?”
Adams smiled. The boss was going to be at a disadvantage today.
“Then it’s a deal. Don’t go back on your word.”
The boss shook his head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Sir. I’ve been running a pet shop here for more than ten years. It’s all about honesty.”
“Okay.”
Adams immediately reached out his hand to the mottled crow hanging on the boss’ arm, hoping that it could run to his hand.
Unfortunately, the crow did not move. It just stood there and tidied its feathers with its mouth.
“Sir, it seems that it doesn’t like you.”
The boss touched the crow’s head, and there was a hint of pride in his smile.
“Is that so?”
Adams’ lips curled into a smile.
Perhaps the boss was right. This crow did not like him.
But he had the system!
Adams reached out his hand and grabbed the mixed-hair crow’s legs at an extremely fast speed.
“Sir, please don’t do this!”
The boss frowned and his tone was filled with anger.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt it.”
Adams said as he stroked the mixed-hair crow,
[Ding — Detected that the host has captured a mongrel crow. Do you wish to keep it as a pet?]
Adams smiled. As expected!
[Pet confirmed!]
[Ding — Congratulations to the host for obtaining a pet — [Mongrel Crow].]
As the system’s notification sounded, the mongrel crow that was struggling violently suddenly stopped screaming and became quiet.
Adams let go of its legs. The mottled crow stood up, flapped its wings, and flew to Adams’ head.
It began to comb Adams’ hair with its mouth, looking very obedient.
“This, this… How is this possible?!”
The pet shop owner’s eyes were full of shock. The mottled crow that was struggling fiercely suddenly fell into Adams’ arms, and it looked so friendly!
Moreover, it didn’t look at him from the beginning to the end, as if it didn’t know him at all!
‘I’ve raised you for a year in vain!’
At this moment, the pet shop owner only thought, ‘F**ker!’
“Heh.”
Adams’ lips curled into a smile.
According to what the pet shop owner had said just now, this crow only ate in his shop and lived in a cage.
The owner of the pet shop did not keep it as a pet from the beginning to the end!
Therefore, this crow had always been an animal without an owner!
The system’s capture condition was that as long as the animal without an owner was controlled, it would be subdued by the system and take Adams as its master!
From then on, it would become Adams’ pet and be 100% loyal to Adams!
That was why Adams had suddenly made a move to capture the mongrel crow.
Now, the mongrel crow was completely Adams’ pet!
Adams teased the mongrel crow’s head and said to the boss with a smile, “Boss, it seems like it likes me very much.”
“Hmph…”
The pet shop owner snorted and turned his head away from Adams.
He was in a bad mood because the crow that he had kept for more than a year had been taken away by someone for nothing.
“Shall I go first?”
Adams didn’t get angry when he saw that the owner didn’t want to talk to him.
After all, he had just taken away his crow and hadn’t paid him a cent. No one would be happy about that.

He walked out of the pet shop with the crow, cobra, and mantis, called a taxi on the street, and went back home.
Adams opened the door and let the cobra and mantis out of the box.
At the same time, the crow took off from Adams’ shoulder and flew around the house.
The cobra was crawling on the ground, and the crow and mantis were flying in the sky. Adams looked at the scene in front of him and could only say that it was very lively.
Fortunately, the cobra had been subdued by Adams and became his pet, so Adams did not have to worry about it suddenly biting him.
Adams had also given them orders through the system that the three animals were not allowed to hurt each other.
“Host, please name your new pets.”
