Chapter 251: Confinement in a Lion Cage

Claire Rossi, the animal tamer girl, was sitting at a dining table, sipping milk absentmindedly. She glanced at the door from time to time, and when she saw Gao Fei coming in, she quickly winked at him.

At the same time, the fat old man who was furious, Mr. Carlo Puzo, the owner of the circus, also noticed Gao Fei coming in, shouted at him angrily, picked up his cane, and hit him hard twice on the buttocks. .

Goofy grinned in pain, rubbed his butt and ducked back.

Mr. Puzo raised his cane high, intending to hit him on the head, but in the end he held back.

"Musk! You nasty troublemaker! Do you know why I hit you?"

Gao Fei quickly calculated and already guessed in his mind, he quickly defended aggrievedly: "Boss! You can't blame me! It was Mike and Billy who did it first!"

"I'm too lazy to care who of you is right or wrong. Anyway, the stage was messed up by you. Mike and Billy were also seriously injured by you. They are destined to be unable to perform on the stage tonight. What do you want me to do?" Mr. Puzo shouted angrily. road.

"Boss, I'm sorry... Otherwise, if I perform two more shows tonight and do a talk show to fill in for Mike and Billy, maybe I can become an instant hit and be very popular! What do you think? Isn't this a wonderful idea?"

Goofy rubbed his butt with a flattering smile on his face.

"Huh?! You bastard, you have such a beautiful idea!" Mr. Puzo was immediately annoyed by him.

Claire, who was watching the excitement from the side, couldn't help but laugh.

"Musk! There's something I can't figure out." Claire licked the milk stains at the corner of her mouth. "With your skinny arms and thin legs, how could you beat both Mike and Billy when you're one against two?" Seriously injured?"

"Oh, kind sister Claire, this is indeed incredible!" Gao Fei scratched his head and pretended to be innocent, "I was just trying my best to avoid the two of them chasing each other, and I had no choice but to fight back. Unexpectedly, Mike and Bi I fell down from the second floor as soon as I hit him, thank the gods, maybe this is the so-called evil will be punished! "

"Bah! Do you think we are fools? You must have used a trick, otherwise how could Mike and Billy fall down the stairs!" Mr. Puzo asserted angrily.

"Anyway, it's not me who's at fault for this, boss. Mike and Billy can't perform tonight anyway. Why don't you try to praise me? Maybe I can become famous overnight and help you earn more box office." ?" Gao Fei said with a smile.

In fact, what he really cared about was that Mr. Colt said that he would come to the theater to support him.

If I can have more highlights on stage, I might be able to win the appreciation of Mr. Colt and lead to new plot clues.

"Stop giving me that playful smile!" Mr. Puzo slapped him on the back of the head. "The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Musk, are you deliberately irritating Mike and Billy so that they can't perform? , take the opportunity to replace their performance opportunities? "

"Boss! Look where you're thinking. Even if I really wanted to perform, I wouldn't use such a despicable trick!"

Gao Fei's face was full of grievances, and then he told the whole story of yesterday's conflict.

"Just because of a leather bag, those two idiots started fighting with you?" Mr. Puzo was dubious.

"Boss, I can testify for Musk on this matter. Yesterday afternoon, I heard Mike and Billy muttering in the background, saying they wanted to cause trouble for Musk." Claire continued, "I'm worried that Musk will be bullied by them. I specifically reminded him to come to me if he encounters any trouble. Unexpectedly, this kid solved the trouble himself. "

Mr. Puzo nodded and asked Gao Fei: "Did you really return that briefcase to Mr. Colt?"

"Of course! Mr. Judge is one of the most distinguished patrons of our theater. I can't offend this distinguished guest just for a moment's gain." Gao Fei replied calmly.

"Very good, Musk, you did this right!" Mr. Puzo said with a rare smile on his face.

"Then boss, can you please make me the protagonist tonight?"

"Bah! Do you really want to be famous that much?" Mr. Puzo put away his smile and scolded him angrily: "Musk, it's not that I don't praise you, it's just that you don't have a clue in your heart. Just your little tricks, It’s okay to be a supporting actor, but how can I support the big scene? I’m afraid I’ll starve to death if I rely on you to sell tickets!”

Gao Fei wanted to fight for it, but was interrupted impatiently by Mr. Puzo.

"Even if you are reasonable about the fight, why don't you clean up the theater after the fight? Isn't this your job?"

"Uh, I'm sorry...I forgot." Gao Fei was a little embarrassed.

"Hmph! You lazy guy, I must give you some punishment to make you remember this lesson." Mr. Puzo picked up his cane and pointed to the warehouse opposite the canteen, "I will punish you with one day of confinement before you admit your mistake. , are not allowed to leave the cage, and are not allowed to eat!”

Two minutes later, Gao Fei was put into a large iron cage to receive confinement punishment.

In the same warehouse, right next to the iron cage where he lives, there is a larger iron cage in which Simba, the golden retriever lion, squats.

Simba yawned widely, squinted his eyes, and stared at Gao Fei through the iron cage bars, looking bored.

"Hey! Simba, my dear friend, are you lonely?"

"Ouch~"

"Do you want to hear a joke?" Gao Fei was extremely bored and could only chat with the lion to amuse him.

"Aww~" The lion shook his head indifferently.

"How about you tell me a joke?"

"Woooooo~"

Simba looked at him with a trace of pity, as if there was a silly fool in the cage opposite.

Gao Fei opened the star chart and looked at it. There was no hint about the next plot advancement. It seemed that he could only wait.

Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he switched the magic mask to the "Druid Mask", selected the two professional skills "Beast Taming" and "Insight", and a professional ability "Wild Identity".

…

Wild Identity: When taming wild beasts or supernatural plants, the test has an advantage and is calculated into the double proficiency modifier.

…

Gao Fei's current perception attribute is 14, with a +2 correction, and then the double proficiency modifier +4 provided by "Wild Identity", "Beast Taming" skill +6, and the test can be doubled.

Next, Gao Fei tried to use the "Beast Taming" skill to get close to Simba on the other side of the cage.

The system prompts that the DC of taming a beast to reach a friendly relationship with Simba is 13.

Gao Fei rolls the twenty-sided dice twice, and the results are 3 and 9 respectively.

Take the better of both dice, and add the +6 skill modifier to get 15.

Congratulations on passing the Taming check and establishing friendship with Simba the lion!
