After hearing Hans's exclamation, Li Du felt somewhat puzzled, "Why is that?"
"This little guy is worth way more than two thousand dollars!" Hans excitedly explained, "Don't tell me that you didn't know what its breed beforehand."
Hearing his explanation, Li Du more or less understood what Hans was talking about, "Do you mean that this is a very rare breed?"
"Of course, do you really not know its identity? Just look at his appearance, can't you tell?"
This time, Li Du closely examined it. The most eye-catching detail about this cat were its two pearl-like round eyes that exulted a feeling of intelligence. Other than that, it also had fur with pattern like that of a leopard, two black streaks across its face, and two pairs of long limbs and a tail.
At Hans's hint, he gasped, "My God, don't tell me that this little one is an jaguar or a leopard."
Hearing that, Hans rolled his eyes before shouting, "Where have you seen jaguars or leopards this small! This is a cat, but it is a tiger cat!"
"Oh, so it's still a cat." Li Du meekly smiled. "Then that's good, I was afraid that I had brought a leopard home."
"We really have no common language," Hans sighed. "Do you actually know how much these cats can sell for?"
Li Du shrugged before answering, "I don't know, but I don't care either. I plan on taking care of it until it's better and return it to the wild. No matter how precious it is, I'm not going to sell it."
"You are actually planning on doing charity?!"
"Yea, of course."
Hearing this, Hans went to the bank. When he came out, he stated, "We don't have much to work with this time, so we really need to plan ahead."
"Didn't you go to the bank to withdraw money?" Li Du asked.
"No, I was transferring funds to a homeless shelter," Hans shrugged.
"Like I would believe that," Li Du smirked.
He had always thought that he had only rescued a normal yellow cat, so on the way home, he went online to search for info on tiger cats. It was only then that he found out that this breed was really an extraordinary cat with the potential of growing to over 1.2 meters!
Could 1.2 meters cat still be called a simple cat? Li Du felt that he should more accurately be described as a tiger.
As for its price, knowing how exorbitant it could be, he didn't search for its price. If he did and it really was that high, then he might actually be tempted into selling it.
With his lower half being locked in casts and being placed in an unfamiliar environment, Ah Meow became very alert. When they got to Li Du's bedroom, it immediately hid itself within the bed sheets, only leaving its eyes to observe the surroundings.
"As long as you know the rules," Li Du patted its head, "If you are disobedient, I'll just give you to the zoo."
Detecting the threat in his voice, Ah Meow immediately hid even further into the covers, this time, not even its eyes were left outside.
Earlier at the clinic, Li Du felt that the little cat's stomach was somewhat deflated, probably due to thirst and hunger, so he went to get it a piece of chicken breast and poured some water for the little guy.
As soon as the chicken breast appeared, Ah Meow immediately jumped out from the covers.
With wide eyes, it continued to stare at the piece of meat while swallowing its saliva. Seeing this sight, Li Du laughed as he placed the food in front of the cat.
Who would have thought that bast*rd would only let out a "meow" before directly slapping the chicken out of his hand, displaying an attitude of "I'm too good for these types of lowly food."
Li Du didn't bother either, he simply walked away to browse for more information about public auctions.
Suddenly, Ah Meow let out a shout of "Meow!"
As Li Du turned his head to see what's wrong, and all he saw was Ah Meow looking at him with eyes full of expectations. As for the chicken, it was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Li Du brought out another piece of chicken breast. This time, Ah Meow desperately crawled towards him, dragging the cast and its lower half like a soldier crawling through mud while letting out shouts of "meow, meow, meow!!"
Ah Meow finally calmed down after another four slices of chicken breasts.
However, when it came for bedtime, it started to meow again.
At this, Li Du only helplessly looked at the little cat, "Alright stop it, you've already eaten enough, let's go to sleep alright?"
"Meeeoooowww!" Unfortunately, the shouts only became more desperate.
He stopped paying attention to the little one who went back into its covers again. However, the next time it revealed itself, accompanying it was Ah Meow's shriek and the horrible stink of its waste.
After that incident, Li Du finally understood why animals in the cat family really cared about hygiene, because if they didn't, they'd probably all be suffocated to death by the stench.
The unfortunate thing was, the little tiger cat required to excrete every hour, but be it pee or poop, Ah Meow was incapable of moving, so it could only rely on Li Du waking up once every hour.
As he wasn't able to sleep very well, he wanted to use the second day to rest up.
Unfortunately, the Bachelor Public Storage Company's auction was on the fifth, leaving them without much time to prepare, so he could only carry the tiger cat to do an initial sweep for the motorcycle.
There weren't many units being auctioned by the Bachelor Public Storage firm, only five.
"These five storages belong to Tony Baders, he is a very famous motorcycle enthusiast in Flagstaff who bought a heavy model of Harley Davidson just last year. It should be stored here," Hans introduced.
"In that case, why is he throwing it away?"
"Because he's dead. That guy was drag racing when his motorcycle was ran over by a truck, so if you want to live, the best bet is to stay as far away from motorcycles as you can."
The five storages weren't in the same place, so Li Du had to exert a bit more effort than normal.
However, after the experience of locating the massage chair, he's gotten a lot more familiar with it.
When he went to the first storage, he was somewhat down when he saw that the motorcycle could clearly be seen.
However, just at this moment, a trace of hope appeared because what he saw wasn't just one motorcycle, but two. However, they weren't Harley Brand, but instead Yamaha.
There was a red one and a white one and both appeared to be brand new, giving off a shiny luster. However, after a closer inspection with the little bug, he found that it was only a case; the engine itself had actually been removed, so it was obvious that it was not worth much anymore.
Shaking his head, he guided the little bug towards the other things.
However, like the storage with the massage chair, there were a variety of other stuff, but still not a sign of what he came for.
After going into the second storage, he saw another motorcycle, but not only were there cover hiding the back part, but it was obviously a self assembled one and not his target.
After yet another three storages, they all contained signs of motorcycles, or at least the other skeleton of one, adding another degree of difficulty to his struggle.
Seeing so many kinds of motorcycles, Li Du felt that everything started to blend together, so he could only retrieve the little bug and study the picture of the Harley once more.
After having used the bug a few times, he had become a lot more experienced at controlling it.
Now, he could control the bug avatar for close to five minutes, but this was continuous. If he took a break in the middle, for every time he retrieved the little bug, his stamina would be reduced by about thirty seconds.
The whole process was like driving a car. Every time he started the engine, it would cost more fuel, and the process of retrieving and releasing the bug was like the ignition and shutting down of the car.
There was a total of five storages, but Li Du couldn't find any sign of the Harley in the previous four. Even then, all his energy had been exhausted, so he could only rest.
The next day, they came back to the storage area, but this time, he spent the whole time searching the fifth one.
It seemed that Hans's intelligence wasn't wrong as there was a large motorcycle in that storage.
In addition, it looked like he hadn't wasted his energy for nothing as every part was carefully maintained and placed in different boxes. If one didn't physically open them, then there was absolutely no chance that they would be able to see its shadow!
