762 High Reward

Name:Pet King Author:Jie Po
Ever since the Holy Cat statue had vanished into thin air, Zhang Zian had not planned to look for it. Binhai City was huge. Where would he even start? It was not stolen by a thief, anyway.

Snowy's thought was simple. Since it was stolen, the thief would surely dispose of it. Usually, a thief was unlikely to have a good taste and would not place the Holy Cat statue in his own house. Not to mention that the statue looked kind of creepy.   

As long as it was disposed of, then someone might have witnessed it.  

She had around 10,000 to 20,000 hardcore fans in her live broadcast, most of which were living at Binhai City, while some were living in nearby areas or other cities. Counting the non-hardcore fans and the occasional visitors, the total number was around 50,000 people.  

It was not feasible to ask her fans to look for it, as most people had their own life going on. But if she asked them to notify her when they saw a similar statue, she figured many people would be willing to help.  

She told Zhang Zian about her thoughts and he agreed.  

Regardless of whether they found it or not, it was an option.  

Therefore, she initiated the live broadcast app and said with a big smile, "Hello, everyone! This is Snowy. Welcome to my live broadcast! Our slogan is––to eat, drink, and be merry at Binhai!" 

The fans had been waiting for a long time. They poured into the broadcast instantly. Gifts and bullet screens were flying everywhere.  

"Snowy, I love you!"  

"Snowy, I miss you so much! Cry!"  

"Is this the first live broadcast of the new year? Or am I missing something? I feel as though Snowy is getting prettier!"  

"Without Snowy during the Spring Festival, the entire holiday was tasteless!"  

"Bulging eyes! I saw the stupid face of Manager Weak Bird as soon as I entered the broadcast. Allow me to spit on it!"  

"You should learn from me. I knew earlier that Manager Weak Bird was coming today. I taped the sides of the screen so that I'll only see Snowy in the middle!"  

"That is an insanely awesome idea!"  

"We want to see the Best Actor dog! We want to see Famous! We don't want to see Manager Weak Bird!"  

There were so many bullet screens that Snowy could not read them all. She only replied to a few important bullet screens. "I'd love to do a live broadcast during the Spring Festival, but most stores were closed for the holidays. However, as the stores are re-opening, Snowy's live broadcast is back online.  

Something unexpected happened today. I made an announcement earlier on Weibo that we will interview the Best Actor dog. But as you can see, Famous is busy right now and is surrounded by too many people. Many people want to take pictures with it. Therefore, I'm changing up the content of this live broadcast."  

She pointed the phone camera at Famous, but there were so many people that they could not even see the dog's hair.  

"Snowy, we'll watch whatever you broadcast! We are not picky––for real!"  

"As long as you block out the bacterium standing next to you!"  

"You are insulting bacteria!"  

Snowy waited for the mocking bullet screen to calm down a bit. Then she spoke in a serious tone in front of the screen. "I have a favor to ask you all, First, let me test your eyes. Look over there. Is there something missing?"  

She pointed where the Holy Cat statue used to be.  

Many fans figured out the answer immediately.  

"Oh crap! Manager Weak Bird finally sold Snowy's Holy Cat statue gift for scrap metal?"  

"This is unacceptable. We should kill this poser!"  

"Snowy, do you want us to bust his butt? If yes, just nod, and the next person posting the bullet screen will bust his butt!"  

"I don't have a tool to do that… (Shy)"  

"Oh you are a girl. Let someone with a big d*ck do it!"  

Zhang Zian was speechless. Why was the first thought of the b**tards that he sold the Holy Cat statue for scrap metal? In fact, he did think about that. But he never put that into action…   

Snowy waited for a while and continued. "Many fans have found out that the Holy Cat statue I gave him as a gift is gone––Mr. Store Manager told me that it was stolen. I'd like to ask for your help in keeping an eye out for it. If anyone sees a similar statue in Binhai City or the nearby areas, please leave a comment on my Weibo account or send me a message. Thank you all in advance!"  

Zhang Zian added next to her, "Or you can leave a message on the Wechat public account of our shop."  

Snowy nodded. "I'll post a picture of the Holy Cat statue on my Weibo today after the broadcast so that you can take a better look."  

The online fans doubted it out of reflex.  

"Snowy, could it be that Manager Weak Bird is lying that it's stolen when he actually sold it for scrap metal?"  

"To be honest, I've thought about stealing it. It's a gift from Snowy, after all. It's such a waste to keep it here with Manager Weak Bird."  

"Snowy, Snowy, is there any reward if anyone sees it?"  

"A reward…" Snowy could not think of a proper reward. She scratched her cheek in embarrassment.  

She thought about giving away a new smartphone model as award, but she considered the fact that she had already given Zhang Zian the Holy Cat statue as a gift and it was now Zhang Zian's possession… so would she be going beyond her duty if she was the one offering the reward?   

Zhang Zian figured out her concern just in time and interrupted her. "I just came back from Germany and I brought back some official souvenirs of Berlin Film Festival. Now they are no longer available and you can't buy them anymore. If anyone can provide any useful clues, our shop will reward you with a limited edition Berlin Bear fuzzy toy. Plus… any pet sold at our shop."  

As soon as he spoke, the fans were not only shocked, but Snowy, too, was too astonished to speak.  

One must know that she spent a few thousand yuan on this Holy Cat statue from a thrift shop. Offering a new smartphone as reward was already very generous, but Zhang Zian was willing to let anyone who could provide a clue to pick any pet in the shop? The most expensive Ragdolls and Abyssinians were sold for at least 30,000 yuan! It was such a high reward.   

Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun all looked shocked.  

Everyone was wondering if Zhang Zian lost his mind. Why was the Holy Cat statue so important to him?  

"Oh my goodness, this is not the cheap store manager I know!"  

"Am I dreaming? Somebody hit me and wake me up!"  

"I get it. The cheap store manager wants to show just how much he values Snowy's gift. He's such a b*tch!"  

"Fine! I'm 100% sure that the cheap store manager has surely sold the Holy Cat statue in secret for scrap metal. That's why he's willing to offer such a high reward."  

Zhang Zian thought, It is so hard to survive in this world. I have been attacked for being cheap, and now I am still under attack for being generous!  

If the Holy Cat statue was an ordinary statue, he would have let it go and would have never offered such a high reward. The problem was that statue was becoming an elfin. He would prefer to find it sooner and melt it into the furnace like T-800 than think about it all day.  

For such a high reward someone would surely say something. Maybe somebody saw something.
