Chapter 239: I, the Lucky Fox, All My Actions Are Righteous Deeds

"Did I do something good again?"

While nonsense-chatting with the golden-edged hedgehog, An Sheng suddenly noticed the Wish List in his mind flickering with light.

That golden glow, like flowing light, vanished in an instant.

The fleeting golden flash on the Wish List meant the little fox had just done something good—the reward had been credited.

Two flashes meant two good deeds.

"I didn't do anything good, did I? Just tricked the dogs into the factory to screw bolts."

An Sheng muttered under his breath, then opened the Wish List to check the details.

【Long ago, the Lucky Fox was always a symbol of auspiciousness. In Xia Country, there was a place called Fox Island, symbolizing love; abroad, there was also a famous Fox Village attraction. Today, the Lucky Fox Lord believes he tricked cats and dogs into screwing bolts to earn their meals.】

But he doesn't know that due to his strict demands on small animals, he has sparked the creation of a Zootopia in Jiule City. The little creatures, having tasted sweet gains, rely on deception and ambushes to bring vibrancy to this ancient provincial capital that had no real identity. Dogs on the streets are breakdancing, barking wildly, howling "Ow!" at the end of their shift, then boarding the bus.

【Perhaps... the Lucky Fox itself is a special attraction?】

【Wish Power +4】

"???"

After reading the Wish List details, An Sheng's cheeks twisted in shock—the Lucky Fox was stunned.

"Because the gang's financial burden rose, I started a side hustle for the Spirit Beast Gang to earn meals... and accidentally created a tourism boom?"

Jiule City's economy exceeds one trillion, rich in marine resources and possessing a unique tea culture.

But if you ask what stands out?

There really isn't anything—like the Tianhou Palace or marine attractions, other places have those too.

The tea culture's history is indeed long, but it only draws tourists interested in tea—not ordinary people who'd travel thousands of kilometers just to drink a cup.

Tea drinkers and merchants? A WeChat message, and delivery arrives the next day.

Jiule City isn't short on culture or tourism resources—it just lacks a headline-grabbing gimmick. It's missing that one final push.

An Sheng's accidental collaboration with Chen Zhiyu on the fishing attraction had gone viral online, boosting Yu Xueqing's fanbase to over three hundred thousand.

As visiting anglers spread and documented it,

the transformed cats and dogs of Jiule City—and the animals they influenced—shed their former animal instincts, relying on deception and ambushes to obtain food, drink, shelter, and transport from humans.

Of course.

Here, "deception and ambush" is how the pets see it.

To humans, it's like being chosen for royalty.

Humans aren't short on resources.

So-called poverty is merely relative—they're still millions of times richer than animals; even a tiny leak from their fingers is enough to feed the creatures.

The little animals, having tasted sweet gains, work harder for the Lucky Fox Lord's grand estate vision.

"So... did I accidentally do something good for the city's tourism industry?"

After reading the Wish List details, An Sheng sat there dazed, his forehead covered in question marks.

Holy crap!

I taught cats and dogs to scam meals and survive by ambush—and that's a good deed?

In my past life, that'd be straight-up pyramid scheme—An would've been locked up for life.

"Tsk."

An Sheng clicked his tongue, quietly pocketed the +4 Wish Power, then turned to another completed wish. Opening its details, he nearly popped his eyes out.

【As spiritual energy revives, ancestral, glowing, mutated spirit beasts will emerge. This is a new era—both sides adapting, growing accustomed to the extraordinary. Spirit beasts remain deeply wary of humans; how can species so different communicate?】

【In the past, first meetings meant a showdown—the one with higher output was right.】

【But since the Lucky Fox Lord, as a spirit beast, personally wrote The Spirit Beast Urban Survival Guide, a new option now exists for first encounters between spirit beasts and humans.】

【Wish Power +2】

"Wish Power +2? Holy crap, less than what I get for knocking out one spirit beast. So my Survival Guide is useless—people still brawl when they meet."

The Spirit Beast Urban Survival Guide? An Sheng understood perfectly—it was just what he'd yammered for two hours on stage.

But from the +2 Wish Power,

his speech meant nothing to spirit beasts.

The spirit beasts in Jiule City obeyed him because he was the boss—the Lucky Fox Lord's reputation for violence was gold-plated.

From land to sea to islands, every spirit beast he touched ended up clutching its ass.

Jiule City's legendary boxing champion: the Lucky Fox Lord.

"These must be unexpected bonuses," An Sheng murmured to himself, smiling faintly, shaking his head as he returned from his daze, turning to Lin Bingyun who handed him a cold Coke.

An Sheng reached out, bit the straw, and gulped down a large mouthful.

"Huh?"

The English-labeled cold Coke—its stronger fizz and sweeter taste—left the fox frozen in surprise.

Lin Bingyun smiled. "I know the Lucky Fox Lord likes Coke offerings, but high-fructose corn syrup isn't healthy. This is cane-sugar Coke from Old Mexico—more fizz."

Lin Bingyun spoke.

But she didn't say this Mexican cane-sugar Coke was still a reduced-sugar version.

High-fructose corn syrup? Eat too much, your butt grows a meter wide.

"Mmm."

An Sheng licked his lips, took another big sip, savored the cane-sugar Coke, then looked at Lin Bingyun, mewed twice, and pointed at the cane-sugar ice Coke.

This one. This sweetness feels better.

When I get back, tell Yu Xueqing to buy this.

"Burp." The Lucky Fox Lord looked utterly content, opened his mouth, and let out a satisfied burp.

In the MPV parked below, something terrifying was unfolding.

The parasitic beast, having listened to the Lucky Fox Lord's speech, turned its gaze toward Feng Wenyu and Jin Wanlin.

With Jin Long acting as interpreter, Feng Wenyu and Jin Wanlin had heard every word—so when the parasitic beast glanced at them, neither felt alarmed.

After all, the Lucky Fox Lord had given the order—the fungal parasitic beast wouldn't rebel.

But—

What happened next left all four humans and the two beasts stunned.

The fungal parasitic beast, face cold and unyielding, capable of surviving C4 explosions, slowly raised its arms, clasped its fists beside its head.

It tilted its head, turned toward the backseat pair, and smiled a stiff, unnatural smile. "Meow~"

"!?"

Feng Wenyu and Jin Wanlin's pupils shrank sharply; they instinctively leaned back, as if seeing a ghost.

"Meow meow meow~ Could you mix me a drink using multifunctional microbial fertilizer and red sugar fermenter, combined with two hundred grams of walnut wood shavings?"

"Meow→Meow↑Meow↑↑~"

"Sssss—"

Feng Wenyu and Jin Wanlin sucked in a sharp breath, their skin erupted in goosebumps, a chilling dread surged from their spines straight into their brains, freezing their skulls with pain.
