[Failed Man: I'm not your bro, I'm not that shaless. I'm just genuinely curious if he's been through sothing. Why else would his personality be so weird?]
[Cai Bing: Fine, give so ti. After all, he's a superhero, and his information is protected by the association. It's not easy to dig up.]
[Failed Man: Okay.]
After sending the ssage, Ke Mingye got up from the bed, turned the doorknob, and walked out of his room, only to bump into a primary school student playing with a smartphone in the hallway.
"Disney."
Ke Yongzhu muttered listlessly.
"Screw off. What if you eat Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck when we get to Disney later?"
At his words, Ke Yongzhu flipped him the middle finger and walked into his room without looking back.
Seeing this, Ke Mingye walked leisurely to a corner of the hallway and picked up Yuri, who was lying on the carpet asleep. He gently scratched its fur and woke it up before activating his E-rank Skill—[Animal Communication Skill].
"Hey, hey, hey, I need to discuss sothing with you."
Ke Mingye squatted down and whispered.
"Do not disturb His Lordship's afternoon nap," Yuri said.
"Hey, it's almost dinnerti, and you're still talking about an afternoon nap. I'd be so happy if I could switch lives with you," Ke Mingye sighed, "but enough talk, take a look at this."
As he spoke, he opened the drawing app on his phone and moved the screen in front of Yuri.
Yuri narrowed its eyes to look.
In the image, there was a "battle suit" specifically for feline and canine animals.
The overall color sche was red and blue, sized to fit Yuri's body, and even the tal tail casing was prepared to accommodate a feline tail.
However, its helt was designed to resemble a dog, looking dumb and cute. And like the Blue Owl Battle Suit, there were two lenses in the eye area.
Just imagine: If Yuri wore this battle suit, its body would be completely enclosed except for the nose to breathe, with even the eyes covered by lenses.
So, it would look exactly like a little red and blue dog.
"What the hell is this?"
Yuri, squinting and looking sowhat wary, asked.
"It's your battle suit, you know what a superhero is, right?" Ke Mingye wheedled, "When you're free, you can wear this battle suit and go on duty with . We could beco famous together."
"But why is it designed like a dog?"
"What's wrong with experiencing life as a dog for a bit? Blue Owl and his little red and blue dog."
"Buzz off. How can a noble species like mine be associated with lowly dogs, let alone dress up as one?"
"One can."
"Still buzz off."
"Two cans."
"...If you redesign this outfit to look like a cat, His Lordship would be willing to wear it."
"Three cans."
"Well, it's not impossible, but pretending to be a dog is still a bit of a stretch."
"Five cans."
"Woof, woof, woof—!"
Suddenly, Yuri raised its head and let out a high-pitched bark.
Following that, a series of "click-clack" unlocking sounds could be heard as the doors to the rooms on the second floor opened simultaneously.
"Why is there a dog barking in the house?" Bai Qiuwu opened her room door with a slightly surprised tone.
"Damn, when did we get a dog?" Ke Yongzhu opened his door and squinted as he asked.
"..." Bai Ziling opened her door and remained silent.
She tilted her head slightly, her crimson eyes fixated on Ke Mingye squatting on the ground without moving.
Seeing this, Ke Mingye was stunned where he stood.
To be honest, even he himself was surprised; he hadn't expected the dog bark to sound so realistic. It was so convincing he even doubted whether it ca from Yuri's throat or his own.
Man, mutant cats are just different, he thought.
"Uhh... was there a need to make such a big deal out of it?"
Facing the three's peculiar gazes, he stamred an explanation, "That bark was , I was pretending to be a dog to scare our student Yuri here."
Saying this, he picked up Yuri as a shield.
Ke Mingye wouldn't have made up such a lie had he not seen the training go so smoothly.
Yuri's two furry paws were held aloft.
Suspended in mid-air, it squinted disdainfully at the three people standing in their respective doorways, as if an emperor seated on his throne looking down upon his attendants.
"You better not start thinking you're really a dog," Bai Qiuwu said with a smile, crossing her arms and leaning against the doorfra, "I'll get back to my studying, try to keep it down."
"I was wondering... it really was like a dog barking."
Ke Yongzhu said expressionlessly and closed his door.
Only Bai Ziling lingered for a second for Ke Mingye.
"Brother, switching to a canine superhero?" Bai Ziling paused, "'Blue Dog'?"
Ke Mingye clicked his tongue, "No way, Blue Owl is more elegant, though the nickna 'Lazy Dog' really suits ."
"Oh."
After speaking, she seed to consider sothing, then quietly closed her door. Sounds began to erge from the rooms again—primary school gaming, Bai Ziling drawing, Bai Qiuwu reviewing English material.
Everyone continued with their activities, Ke Mingye let out a sigh of relief, put down Yuri, stretched his arms, and went back into his room.
Now that he had reached an agreent with Yuri, he could ask the man of culture to make him the dog battle suit.
"I haven't shopped in so long, and I have two unused shopping coupons," he thought as he lay in bed, opening the shopping panel and glancing at the Skill sales page refreshed that day. Soon, after seeing none of the ten skills catching his interest, he switched to the daily consumables sales page.
On this page, he quickly spotted a piece of equipnt sparkling with golden light.
