Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
"Meow meow meow meow~"
"..."
Yinla stared at the meowing snake molt, then speechlessly turned on the room lights... Looking at the familiar room layout, Yinla plopped down on the familiar sofa and kicked the desktop computer on the coffee table.
"Meow meow meow?"
Amidst the snake's cries, Yinla rubbed her nose and said, "So, I really don't understand cat language. Snake, can't you speak normally? Although I can roughly understand what question you're asking me."
But it's probably not something like, "Isn't it lunchtime yet?"
As Yinla thought this, he watched the ragdoll cat sitting on his lap slowly grow larger, and then transform into the body of Snake Shedding itself, straddling his lap... This posture was a bit too ambiguous.
However, the snake molting didn't seem to have any intention of going down.
"I'm asking... is it less awkward to see your family after a long time than you imagined?"
As the snake molted and asked this question, Yinla slapped her aside... just like before, when she was still in cat form, she disturbed Yinla's work and was chased away.
It seems that after turning back into a cat once, their relationship improved a lot.
"Yes, after all, they are family... My mom kept piling food onto my plate, and I was already stuffed."
As Yinla spoke, he rubbed his stomach, flicked the light screen in front of him, and tentatively asked, "[dd] (Final Race Judgment Authority), are you there?"
"..."
However, there was no response.
"call……"
Yin La breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that a world-destroying AI couldn't possibly exist within his soul, he still felt a sense of relief... He really had a psychological trauma; he was most afraid of a cold female voice answering—
"This is [dd], what are you doing here?"
This is supposed to be a snake shedding its skin, but the imitation is off... and there's a strange accent.
"If it were her, she would probably answer in a calmer tone and with a more standard pronunciation... and her reaction would be much faster."
As Yinla spoke, he lay down comfortably on the sofa, his whole body relaxed for once. He asked the snake beside him, "When are we going back? Or should I just stay here... and wait for the reunion?"
The term "reunion" is a very kind expression.
To put it more bluntly, or rather... it's actually quite like in-game terminology, it's like saying, "Just wait for the whole team to be wiped out, wait for everyone to die."
"Whatever you want. I'm just your cheat code, not your wife. You don't need to ask for my opinion."
Snake Sheath shrugged as she answered, clearing her throat and saying, "Ahem, perfect timing, let's discuss where we should choose for our next world... We must pay close attention this time."
In other words, this time, the snake really didn't look carefully... She just glanced at it and saw a world with various dimensions, gods and monsters, which seemed perfect for farming, so she decided to come here to develop her career.
Who knew this place was truly beyond saving?
How do you plan to conduct this research?
As Yinla said this, he rested his chin on his hand, tapping his fingers on the screen, looking at the latest news from the Federation... Hmm, how should I put it?
The headlines of each news issue were basically dominated by news about Yin La herself and the situation on the other side of the main plane.
Interestingly, this makes sense. The so-called Federation is such a place that even though the "Permanent Mechanism" that led to humanity's self-destruction has been completely banned, resources are still abundant to the point of overflowing.
In such a world of idleness, even just doing one's job is a good form of entertainment... not to mention fresh things, novel news, and interesting stories.
That's it~
Snake Sheath grabbed Yinla's hand, stopping him from continuing to surf the internet, then pressed one hand on the screen, gradually turning the image on it into a pitch-black mess... End Brain indeed has this function, and Snake Sheath indeed has this ability.
However, it cannot be used if fingerprints have not been registered...
"..."
wrong!
Yinla suddenly remembered that when she was raising snakes in the form of cats, she had recorded information on their paws, since the "cat" wasn't a real cat.
AI Cat can definitely help him turn on his computer and access the most basic applications. When Yinla lazily woke up and ordered takeout, she always casually asked Cat to turn on his computer for her.
Is this karma?
"Look, this is the world around us."
Unaware of what Yinla was thinking, the snake-skinned creature spoke while pointing outwards, expanding the view and presenting an abstract outline of the world to Yinla.
"This world is made up of hundreds of millions of parallel universes... In the world's setting, only this one parallel universe is the [primary perspective], that is, the [main universe]. There are plenty of handsome men and beautiful women, and also many lolis."
"Well, the world is quite developed, and supernatural powers are not yet systematic, so it may be difficult to recreate the Federation's appearance... We probably shouldn't consider it, even if there are many lolis."
As Snake Sheath spoke, Yinla was speechless. He couldn't help but ask, "Why do you consider lolis as an important reference point? I don't have many lolis that I'm close to, do I?"
Upon hearing this, the snake immediately stopped what it was doing and began to count something.
"Satanye could be one, right? Is Isabella a little girl before? Let me think..."
As she spoke, Snake Sheath revealed a thoughtful expression, her eyes darting left and right, but no matter how she thought about it... she felt that most of the people Yinla knew were actually [young girls].
So, amidst Yinla's ambiguous smile, Snake Shedding could only grit his teeth and continue, "Snake Shedding of Legacy counts, right? And that guy named Tikkap counts too, right?"
"..."
Whether the molted snake of inheritance counts or not... Tekkaman is male, right? And he's practically a teenager.
After Yinla squinted at the snake molt for a while, the snake molt had no choice but to give up teasing Yinla on this point and instead changed the subject, saying, "Let's continue talking about the future world."

"..."
The conversation dragged on for a long time, but neither of them reached a conclusion... Then, a message from Tikkapu appeared out of nowhere in Ira's mind—
[Tikkap: Lady Inra, I've told everyone about your plan to remain in the soul, but no one has reacted... And then, something terrible happened at Silvermoon Tree Garden.]
[Yinla: What's wrong?]
[Tikkap: The situation is complicated. Some elves should be heading your way soon. You can ask them what they have to say. As for us, we can only see…]
[Tikkapu: The World Tree has stood up and is attacking people.]
"..."
Yinla: "Huh?"
Snake molting: Joy!
