"Pitter-patter."
"Gurgle."
Sunday evening, South Ward, inside Yan Huan's public rental housing.
The warm lights shone brightly. Outside the billowing steam, Myau-chan sat at the bathroom door and let out a huge yawn.
"Myau-chan, help
grab a towel. I washed them and hung them out to dry but forgot to bring one back in."
"ow?"
The next second, Yan Huan's voice echoing from the bathroom made the yawning Myau-chan blink.
Imdiately, without the slightest hesitation, it turned its head, raised its tail, and trotted off.
Strangely, quite a while passed, and there was still no sign of the cat returning.
Yet in the very next mont, just outside the shower area in the bathroom, it magically appeared on a small wooden stool in the dry zone, holding a bath towel in its mouth.
"ow~"
Hearing the cat's ow from outside, the sound of the faucet turning off echoed from within the shower.
A mont later, Yan Huan stepped out through the steam, his body covered in droplets of water.
Myau-chan looked up, its erald eyes tracking a water droplet gathering at his chin as it slid down his Adam's apple, over his collarbone, and onto his chest...
Only when there was nothing left to see did the black cat finally open its mouth, dropping the towel.
"Thanks, Myau-chan."
"ow~"
What could be more lovable than a cute black cat that could talk to you, help with chores, and did not require food, water, or a litter box?
Bending down to pick up the towel, Yan Huan casually asked as he dried himself off,
"By the way, Myau-chan, I noticed this during the ani convention. As long as you hold sothing in your mouth, you can teleport it anywhere within a fifteen-ter radius. It is really convenient."
During the convention, Myau-chan had carried a USB drive and Bluetooth earbuds through walls. Now, it had instantly teleported to his side while carrying a bath towel larger than its own body.
Hearing this, Myau-chan inspected its furry, pitch-black body with curiosity that matched Yan Huan's and explained,
"Things that touch my body will teleport along with . This is probably due to the nature of the modifier, ow."
"...aning, An Le's modifier?"
"Probably, ow."
"Wait a minute. If that is the case, if you or An Le's modifier touched soone else, wouldn't you be able to teleport a whole person anywhere within a fifteen-ter radius?"
"How could that be possible, ow? I have already tried. Living creatures do not work, it only applies to inanimate objects."
Myau-chan swished its tail. Seeing Yan Huan begin to put on his clothes, it lost interest, turned its head, and hurriedly ran out of the bathroom.
"More importantly... Yan Huan, hurry up, it is almost ti, ow!"
"What is the rush? We do not have to upgrade right at the exact second."
Having changed into his pajamas and blow-dried his hair, Yan Huan walked out of the bathroom at a leisurely pace and looked at Myau-chan sitting upright on the bed.
By now, it had already spit out the two fragnts ant for the upgrade.
The large cluster of spider silk belonged to Ye Shiyu, while the other piece, originally Bai Yi's fragnt wrapped in green mist, had revealed its true form after being purified by Spencer and An Le, the two "human activated carbons."
It was a clump of bright, erald-green viscous substance.
Rubbing his chin, Yan Huan could not help but fall into thought.
"I could recognize the original forms of all the other fragnts at a glance, but this thing... it looks like grease. What exactly is it?"
"It is venom secreted by a toad, ow."
"A toad."
'Co to think of it, all five of these modifiers are absolute poisonous creatures.'
'Compared to them, this gluttonous little furball in front of
might be a bit useless, but at least it is cute.'
'If I were the host of An Le's modifier and had to sleep hugging a snake every day, it would really be a test of courage.'
'However...'
'Although An Le is very timid when interacting with people, she is completely fearless in other aspects.'
Yan Huan suddenly recalled that when they were kids in the South Ward, she had dared to catch spiders and geckos with her bare hands...
She was absolutely ruthless.
"Tick-tock~"
"It is ti, ow!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
At that mont, as the hour hand on the wall clock pointed straight up, Myau-chan licked its lips and opened its mouth.
In an instant, the two fragnts transford into misty golden light and were entirely inhaled into Myau-chan's mouth.
The instant Bai Yi's modifier fragnt was swallowed, the previous fragnt collection interface appeared once again.
[Sequence Five: Toad Venom x1]
[Effect: The entity using a modifier's effect on you will randomly receive a powerful 1-day curse the following day, while simultaneously granting you a random powerful 1-day buff.]
[The effectiveness of this curse will diminish based on modifier resistance, but the duration remains unaffected.]
[Collection Reward: For every Toad Venom fragnt collected, you may choose to: 1. Extend the curse's duration by half a day; 2. Extend the buff's duration by half a day.]
'So that is how it works.'
'After all this ti, Bai Yi's modifier's passive is basically a Thornmail!'
'Not only will picking up her fragnts trigger a curse, but using a modifier on her will do the sa.'
'Furthermore, Bai Yi's modifier likely possesses more than just this one trait.'
For instance, Yan Huan already knew of two traits for An Le's modifier.
One was penetration that could break through resistance, and the other was the ability to create a modifier incarnation.
But collecting snake scales only enhanced the latter; the forr was not displayed.
The sa could likely be true for Sakuramiya's and Bai Yi's fragnts.
aning: there might be a second trait, but Myau-chan's system only displayed one.
As Yan Huan thought about this, his gaze kept reading, shifting to the next glimring golden page.
