"Do we really not need to prepare a litter box?"
Ren's mother watched the black cat in Ren Suo's arms and asked, "If it makes a ss on your bed, you'll have to take care of it yourself."
"Mmm-hmm, don't worry, I can handle it," Ren Suo nodded. "Just trust ; Little Luna is very well-behaved and won't trouble at all."
Ren's parents and his sister had no clue about the na Luna. Even his sister had given up after holding the black cat and staring at it for a while—Gu Yueyan hadn't told her about Ren Suo's mysterious wife being Luna, so Ren Xingi naturally didn't know Luna was that wife.
After all, Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, and Gu Yueyan being fond of such a brother had already updated her worldview nurous tis, convincing her that true love really existed in this world. How could she possibly think that even a Moon Chanter couldn't escape Ren Suo's grasp?
The battle standard suddenly escalated from Transcendents to the war of gods, huh.
"That's true, it is the cat you are raising after all," Ren's mother nodded in understanding.
Ren Suo snorted and carried the black cat into the bathroom. He had asked Luna already. Luna hadn't relieved herself all day. According to her, her talent almost entirely focused on digestion, not only allowing her to eat sweets but also to absorb food 100% to aid in her cultivation. Otherwise, with her small stomach, how could she possibly handle human food.
Cats shouldn't eat sweets or too much salt.
Though even if Luna absorbed 100%, the food she ate was just ordinary, its effects were minuscule, Ren Suo was super envious. 'Eat without getting fat, only increasing cultivation,' announcing that would make a bunch of fatties jealous, okay!
Cultivating in dreams is just aweso, being able to choose any talent! But no, the Moon Chanter just wouldn't let cultivate in dreams! ARGH, when I get back, I'll let my clone build Luna a family amusent park, could that work!
After washing both himself and the black cat until they were clean and fragrant, Ren Suo carried the black cat back to his bedroom with a towel. Ren's mother, preparing for bed, saw but didn't mind—it was probably to wrap the cat.
Back in the bedroom, after locking the door and securing it with a chair, Ren Suo spoke to the black cat, "Be very quiet, quieter, even quieter. Even though the soundproofing here isn't bad, I've never heard any sounds from my parents' room since I was little... but my sister has completed the second turn and might have very good hearing. If you make any noises, it will cause a lot of trouble."
It wouldn't be much trouble, really. Ren Suo could simply open his computer, find a mysterious website, and claim that the sound ca from a video on it. However, one could fool them once but not twice. The best thod was naturally for Luna to be aware of being quiet.
"Once you can maintain the human form for a long ti, I will introduce you to them. Right now, you can do whatever you want in your true form, but once you transform into human form, you must be quiet and not wander around," Ren Suo instructed.
The cat, whose fur was still damp and clinging to its body as if it had slimd down, nodded.
Ren Suo did not know what breed Luna was, certainly not a Ragdoll, but after a bath, she still turned into a beautiful little cat with a clear-eyed lon face... although, of course, she didn't feel as fluffy as when she was dry.
Fan Qiyu likely had never bathed the black cat. Her fur seed to have accumulated oil for at least a year, and Ren Suo needed to use shampoo to clean her completely. Even the bathwater turned a bit yellowish-black.
After all, washing a cat is a complicated process, and bathing is just the initial phase. The main event is drying the fur—a majority of cats are sowhat scared of the warm air from hairdryers, and they are bound to resist when being dried. Even with their claws trimd, they might scratch you out of annoyance.
And Luna seed to be under two years old; usually, washing just her paws was enough.
Well, Ren Suo hadn't been concerned about Luna's age from the beginning, treating her human age as her actual age, because normal cats weren't as intelligent as her.
This was one of the reasons he would rather die than reveal Luna's true form as a cat. He would only let her appear before others when she could maintain human form for a long ti. Otherwise, if people found out and began discussing the age issue... Our country does have a very comprehensive criminal law.
Being a poop-scooper and washing a cat is troubling, but Ren Suo could communicate with Luna, so naturally, she wouldn't scratch him or try to run away.
However, Ren Suo had no intention of using such an inefficient thod of drying.
Ren Suo unfurled the bath towel and said, "Oh kitty harboring the moon's power, reveal your true strength before , I command you as per our pact, release the seal!"
A mont later, Ren Suo heard the bed creak due to a change in weight and noticed a significant change in the light. He then closed his eyes, stepped forward, and draped the towel around her. "Dry yourself!"
Luna glanced at her pale body wrapped in the bath towel and couldn't help but giggle foolishly (o゜ω゜o). Then she imdiately stretched out her hand to cover her mouth nervously, and finally lunged to hug Ren Suo while whispering, "Help dry! Help dry!"
"No way, do it yourself!"
"Otherwise, I'll start yelling," Luna threatened with a feigned ferocity.
Ren Suo looked at Luna in surprise. "..."
Is this threatening skill innate to all female creatures!?
Being threatened by a middle-aged woman who had navigated through decades of neighborhood committees, won's federations, and street offices was one thing, but now even Luna, this little female cat, dared to threaten him!?
Then Ren Suo, blushing and sowhat excited, helped Luna dry off, quickly picked up a shirt he had prepared, and put it on her. He showed a helpless expression—originally, Ren Suo's shirt was more than enough for Luna, but it ant Ren Suo, being male, had a slightly bigger body fra.
However, Luna's bunny developnt and stature were beyond Ren Suo's expectations, as she managed to stretch the shirt out. Because Ren Suo's shirt was a loose fit, when she stood up straight, the cloth below the chest area on the front of the shirt didn't touch Luna's abdon... Even though it covered the upper body, it was still very enticing.
The issue wasn't with Ren Suo's clothes; it was that Luna's issue was too big.
However, Ren Suo was very aware of the situation. After all, Luna could only transform for thirty minutes, so he could easily calm down. All he had to do was avoid looking downwards, and he would basically have no problems.
After all, it was just half an hour, it would pass quickly. At most, he would take another cold shower.
"Here, this is a cell phone, this is a tablet... Wait, can you read?" Ren Suo suddenly rembered this point and felt the trouble starting.
Even if Luna could maintain her human form, she couldn't just go to elentary school like Little Jiu...
"Hmm..." Luna pouted and tilted her head as she thought for a while, then said while counting on her fingers, "I know Chinese, Martian, Hebrew, Japanese, English, Russian, Arabic, French, German..."
As she continued, she ran out of fingers. She lowered her head and thought about counting her toes. Ren Suo quickly grabbed her hand to stop this movent, which was very dangerous for him, and then turned on his phone to let her undergo a translation test. After confirming she really knew all these languages, he asked, "How did you learn so many languages?"
"88 told !" Luna said, shaking her body, and her clothes also shook. She looked so silly and cute that Ren Suo secretly decided to find her a more fitting dress tomorrow. After all, taking cold showers all the ti wasn't easy in this weather.
"She told you, and you just knew?" Ren Suo said, wondering.
Luna shook her head, pouted, and thought for a while again, then said, "Once 88 learned them, I knew them too."
Although Luna's explanation was confusing, Ren Suo understood—Moon Chanter's clone 88 now possessed an independent will and Divine Power, probably capable of acquiring others' knowledge from dreams. After 88 learned them, Luna, being nearly one with 88, naturally learned them as well.
Now, Ren Suo looked at Luna with complex eyes, even feeling a bit wronged!
Why is that!? It was who had a clone first! It was who upgraded the Cloning skill! But now Luna's clone 88 can help her cultivate and learn, while Luna doesn't have to do anything, just sleep in, play, and she could ascend to immortality, rising through the nine heavens of inviting the moon! And what about my clone!? Other than massages, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes, and ordering takeout, it's utterly useless! Damn it! I'm so jealous! Why don't I have one! Even Luna's clone 88 inexplicably hates and even locks her abilities away from ! I've been so nice to Luna, complying with everything she wants. 88, what more do you want? Just say it, I promise to fulfill it. Even if I can't, I'll make sure my clone does!
Perhaps it's a cat's natural instinct; Luna sensed that Ren Suo was unhappy. She ca over, hugged his neck, and cradled him in her arms, touching Ren Suo's head and said, "Hey!? Your head feels really nice too!"
Having returned ho, Ren Suo naturally took off his hat. His face flushed and filled with depression. He lifted his head, thought for a mont, then put away his phone and handed Luna the tablet. "Play with this for now, I'll buy you a phone tomorrow."
Since Luna can understand text, that ans I can't just let her ss around with the phone.
Ren Suo rembered sothing and asked, "By the way, besides reading, do you also know math and physics?"
"Um... I don't really understand much, just know things like a bounded monotonic sequence has a limit, Maxwell's equations, stuff like that..."
"Alright, no need to explain further. I don't understand it," Ren Suo, a helpless college graduate, said calmly.
Although Luna still counts using her toes, her knowledge has already overwheld Ren Suo. With a little ti to practice, she'll realize the huge gap between them in terms of skills.
Ren Suo can't even compare to a cat now! Neither in terms of strength nor skills!
The more he thought about it, the sadder he beca. Ren Suo went and sat down at the computer, and said, "Just play on your own, but keep your voice down."
"Okay." Luna ca over and pulled Ren Suo's computer chair closer, under his bewildered gaze. Wearing only a shirt, she was about to lift her foot—
"Wait." Ren Suo held Luna. "What are you doing?"
"I want to play with the tablet in your arms." Luna blinked her eyes. "After I grew bigger, I couldn't stay in your lap without splitting my legs..."
"Can't you just stay out of my arms for this half hour..." The posture Luna envisioned made Ren Suo feel he'd rather be dead.
By the heavens above and earth below, after these past two days, Ren Suo really had a mont of clarity—once he sorted out all his emotional entanglents, he'd move onto the next step—he was actually, deep down, a purist in love!
Of course, another reason was that he was also afraid of pain and death. It's better to be cautious with these things.
"No way, I turned into a human just so I could cling to you."
Ren Suo fell silent for a mont, glanced at his computer equipnt at ho: wireless keyboard and mouse. After all, he seldom used this computer for gaming since he ca back—the configuration was already outdated, at most just for surfing the internet, so the more convenient the peripherals, the better.
So, he brought out a desk ant for use in bed, set the keyboard and mouse on it, and sat cross-legged on the bed. Then Luna could use any position to hug him from behind and play with the tablet.
The issue of viewing distance didn't matter at all; one of the biggest benefits of being a Cultivator was the elimination of nearsightedness risks.
Although the touch still felt intense, hearing the sound of "Endless Fun in the Minor World" playing from the 1000xm3 imdiately cald Ren Suo's restless mind.
Indeed, the Minor World Ga Console stored in the 'Heart Chamber' storage space could also connect to external devices just the sa.
Ren Suo had no intention of letting others see the Minor World Ga Console, but he didn't really care about the ga interface.
Since the interface of the Minor World's gas resembled that of mainstream gaming platforms, and most of the gas looked normal, Minor World gas were often more or less similar to existing gas and would not attract special attention.
Of course, only those whom Ren Suo absolutely trusted might see him playing gas, and these people were already quite familiar with him being a hardcore gar, so they wouldn't suspect anything.
Ren Suo first equipped himself with 'data stream', then probed himself.
'Target type: Primate Order Adult Male'
'Physical condition: Normal'
'Cultivation State: 3rd transformation 95% (You have defeated 99.99% of Upright Apes worldwide!)'
'Eyes: Excited state'
'Limbs: Excited state'
'Kidneys: Excited state'
'...'
Just 5% away from progressing to fourth transformation!
Although he wasn't sure how long it would take to grind that last 5%, Ren Suo was already quite satisfied—having played character tags on The Dark Side of the Moon for a full six days, besides Gu Yueyan and Luna, he had gained a whopping 91% in Cultivation!
Ren Suo casually reached behind to touch Luna. Her skin was smooth and elastic, eliciting a moan from her, but he was determined not to look back at her, pretending as if he was touching an exceptionally tactile piece of pork.
'Target type: Adult Female of the Primates Cat-people Branch'
'Physical condition: Normal'
'Cultivation State: 3rd transformation 100% (You have defeated 100% of Cat Masters worldwide!)'
Luna had no special status; it seed she had imrsed herself in the gaming world even faster than Ren Suo. Ren Suo silently felt guilty for his unprofessionalism. Playing a ga, and I'm still thinking about a woman. Focus!
Open the 'World Store'!
He missed January, but he couldn't miss February!
Wondering how many chances to draw this month...
However, when Ren Suo opened the 'World Store', instead of seeing 'Free Ga of the Month', he saw two other sections:
'New Year Exclusive · New Year's Money'
'17 days remaining · You can wait a bit longer'
Ren Suo clicked on 'New Year Gas Freedom to Choose', and the shop interface imdiately turned festive.
'New Year Exclusive · New Year's Money: Players can now perform any search operation without spending any rit Points. Your first purchase is guaranteed 100% off. After purchasing a ga, this event automatically disappears.
You can choose to cancel this event, after which 'Free Ga of the Month' will begin, and you can use the promotions from New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year, and Lantern Festival to make free ga selections.'
100% off, which ans it's free. Ren Suo understood. This New Year's Money event allowed him to buy any ga, thus his search function had entered a free state. However, accepting this New Year's Money ant automatically giving up the chance to get this month's free ga.
Ren Suo thought for a mont, opened the search interface, and searched for a word: "Divine".
What ga he bought didn't matter; what was important were the rewards from the ga he bought! If the ga's na included the word 'Divine,' the rewards were usually incredible!
"No results found."
Ren Suo blinked. Were the gas in the Minor World so subtle? Not even including the word 'Divine'? Like God of War or Demon God would have been fine!
Search: "Immortal."
Right, we people of Mysterious Country should play immortal-thed gas, engage in true cultivation! Not the kind that involves staying up all night, nor like the Mysterious Sovereign's Secret Records, which had almost beco the tenth set of national broadcast exercises, but real Cultivation Techniques! The Lotus Treasure Mirror, Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art, Grand Arcanum, list them all!
"No results found."
There aren't even any immortal-thed gas!?
Ren Suo hesitated for a mont, then chose to search for "Beautiful Girl Text Adventure Ga".
Zhao Huo said playing lots of galgas could help find a girlfriend—of course, Ren Suo didn't believe it.
Although Zhao Huo was a real example, apart from being an otaku, he was also a formidable Urban Soldier King...
Whether playing galgas helped with romance, Ren Suo wasn't sure, but he felt the rewards in the gas might help with his current situation sowhat...
"No results found."
Ren Suo blinked, suddenly thinking of a terrifying possibility.
He searched for "Over My".
"No results found."
He then searched for "Over My Dead Body".
Finally, five results appeared: "Over My Dead Body: First Chapter", "Over My Dead Body: Second Chapter"... "Over My Dead Body: Final Chapter".
Ren Suo's current mood was like being screwed over by Zhao Huo.
The Minor World Ga Console, he didn't know if it was doing this on purpose, or it was just that user-unfriendly—text searches had to be 100% precise to yield any results! There was no such thing as a keyword search! The Minor World Ga Console wasn't planning to let him pick gas as if he were picking vegetables at a market! This ant, unless Ren Suo adopted the brute force thod like a monkey, the gas he could search for were only those he rembered but hadn't played yet!
Ren Suo thought for a mont, feeling that using 100% off on those gas seed a bit of a loss... It was like if your parents promised you a wish, you shouldn't be saying you want a al at McDonald's, especially the 15 yuan work al type, right?
He suddenly rembered there was another category just now, and hurriedly went back to check it.
The interface changed from festive to a large gift box, with a countdown tir hanging on it, displaying the number: 18.
"Remaining 17 days: You can wait a bit longer: Already waited 33 days, wait another 17 days, and the ga inside the gift box will upgrade by 1 star-level."
This gift box is a New Year Gift Box, divided into three stages.
The first stage, January 1 to January 21, guaranteed a 5-star ga inside the box.
The second stage, January 22 to February 19, guaranteed a 6-star ga inside the box.
The third stage, after February 19, guaranteed a 7-star ga inside the box.
The price of this gift box is always 500 rit Points.'
That's right! Ren Suo then rembered that holidays like New Year's Day definitely have special events.
But those events were mostly tied to free ga events, and Ren Suo thought he would miss out, but the New Year event was still ongoing.
The Minor World Ga Console was looking out for him?
This gift box was a bit strange, and he had to spend rit Points to purchase it, but it was hard for Ren Suo to draw high star-level gas usually. Now he knew the search function could only fetch gas he was aware of, aning encountering high star-level gas really depended on promotional luck.
Moreover, Ren Suo's Player's Privilege "Plucking Feathers from a Flying Goose" had the "Swindler" effect, allowing him to directly purchase a ga without spending any money—though it hadn't triggered yet, but as long as the gift box was here, he would eventually trigger this effect and buy the gift box.
So... Ren Suo looked at the New Year's Money event and then at the gift box, feeling sowhat hesitant.
Ren Suo didn't have to think much to weigh his options. If he had seen this gift box in January, he might have hesitated. But now, there was no opportunity for hesitation—he'd missed the 5-star, couldn't handle a 7-star, so he could only choose the 6-star.
The 6-star ga was still risky since Ren Suo currently had no ti for his "Rippling Spring Sounds". He couldn't summon ga characters to help and had to rely solely on brute force to get through.
As for 7-star gas, Ren Suo was quite self-aware; he needed to level up to a level 6 Player and open so 6-star item abilities to be qualified to challenge a 7-star ga.
Now there was the New Year's Money event, which could help him get a 500 rit Points gift box to play a 6-star ga, definitely better than freeloading on other gas.
"Will you use 'New Year's Money' to complete this transaction?"
"You have purchased the 'New Year Gift Box'."
"Would you like to open the 'New Year Gift Box'? Note, if you wait another 17 days, the New Year Gift Box will inevitably contain a 7-star ga."
The system prompted, and Ren Suo suddenly felt weird. Was there a catch here?
But the problem was, Ren Suo vaguely felt that the countdown inside the box resembled a bomb's countdown...
The Minor World Ga Console wouldn't create a super appealing 7-star ga that he absolutely couldn't clear just to trick him into spending money, would it?
Ren Suo hesitated, a rare occurrence since the Minor World Ga Console seldom gave him any reminders.
Ren Suo thought for a mont and opened the Mystic Tavern.
When in doubt, go to the Tavern Keeper.
The tavern was empty, and today's tavern keeper was still diligently sweeping the floor.
Ren Suo asked, "Boss, haven't seen you in a month, did you miss ?"
The tavern keeper, shrouded in darkness, glanced at him. "If only I could go a month without seeing you even once, even in dreams, that would be great."
Huh? Could it be that the ti flow in the tavern wasn't 1:1 with the real world? And am I that important to the tavern keeper? He even thinks of in his dreams? In the heart of this NPC, it seems I hold a high position!
Ren Suo muttered to himself and directly asked, "Boss, I bought that New Year Gift Box and am hesitating whether to open it or not." He briefly described the situation of the New Year Gift Box.
The tavern keeper said, "10 rit Points."
After all, snagging a gift box for 100% off, Ren Suo was now generous with his money.
"The star level of the ga is proportional to its difficulty," the tavern keeper said somberly. "You should have played it back when it was at five stars; that was the best choice. Waiting till now, it's a bit late…"
"At six stars, the ga is relatively simple to play but not so painful; at seven stars, it becos very difficult and very painful."
Ren Suo was startled. "So your advice is..."
"If it were not out of necessity, who would choose to endure suffering?"
After receiving a considerable tip, the tavern keeper shouted loudly at you: "Go play the ga quickly!"
Ren Suo said, "Got it, got it. By the way, boss, is your scarf knitted yet? I've finished mine."
"[○｀Д′○] SCRAM———"
Ren Suo stared at the screen in bewildernt — he had actually been kicked out of the Mystic Tavern!
This boss, really is tsundere, considering how much he thinks of him.
"Gift box opened."
"Congratulations player, you have obtained the new ga 'Light and Dark Traitor'."
Federation, California, West Foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite National Park.
Into the eastern entrance that should have been closed during winter, a convoy of cars slowly drove in.
"Do we really need to co here…" Victor complained from inside the vehicle. "I'm not being lazy, but it's fine if I'm here, but does my dear Fina really need to co? Isn't it just so Transcendent going crazy here?"
"If it truly is a Transcendent, then it's one that could rival the captain!" Caroline, sitting in the front, responded. "Victor, get serious. If you're not careful and die, even I can't save you."
"If it's a Transcendent capable of rivaling the captain, then let the captain deal with it. What are we here for? To be cannon fodder?" Victor waved his hand dismissively. "Don't scare , it can't be that dangerous."
"If there were no danger, would the captain have sent Fina?" Caroline shook her head. "The captain must have checked this place before and found so issues; that's why he sent Fina."
"Hey, it's just soone blowing up a mountain, no big deal," Victor still didn't take it seriously.
"Blowing up a mountain?" Caroline smiled and remained silent.
Soon, the convoy stopped in a valley.
"This is the place," the park manager shouted loudly, asking everyone to get off.
Victor got out of the car and, looking up, blurted out, "FUCK!"
It really wasn't just blowing up a mountain.
The rugged cliffs on both sides of the valley suddenly ca to an abrupt stop halfway up the mountainside; the upper halves of the mountains completely disappeared as if cleanly sliced off and taken away.
Cutting a mountain isn't the scary part—where is the mountain mass?!
"Shouting for isn't going to help. My recuperative abilities at least need raw materials; I can't create sothing out of nothing…" Victor muttered, then turned around to help Fina down from the vehicle.
Fina, wearing a blindfold, 'looked' at the desolation before them, then looked around and asked, "When did this happen?"
"It should have happened more than ten days ago, around January 21st. Since it really made no sound, we weren't sure," replied the park manager.
Fina nodded silently and went back into the vehicle. Seeing this, Caroline imdiately ordered the return trip. As Victor got in, Fina imdiately asked, "Can we talk in the car?"
"They are all Watchers," Victor imdiately replied. "Caroline and Tulius are very clean. Although Caroline really likes that World Tree Magician, and Tulius has disputes with Ufrek, they are definitely not spies."
Caroline and Tulius, the driver, had an exasperated look — Victor's gossip and beating abilities were truly helpless.
"Alright, notify the captain imdiately. It could be a crisis."
"What happened? Did a Transcendent really appear, one capable of rivaling the captain?" Victor asked.
Fina shook her head.
Victor frowned slightly. "Is it soone stronger than the captain?"
Although Angel Zack was often defeated, it still depended on who was defeating him—it was those supre Supernatural Forces! Among Earthly forces, at least outwardly, no Transcendent was superior to Angel Zack!
"It's not a problem with one person; it's a group issue," Fina solemnly said.
"Those traces, they aren't just man-made, but also a pure spatial intersection obliteration phenonon."
"...What does that an? Did an extrely powerful space Transcendent appear?" Caroline asked.
Fina calmly stated, "It's an unknown force that has mastered Spatial Movent technology and is attempting to approach Earth."
