Chapter 43 Wooden Cat Mimi Morohoshi: Gradually Getting Used

For most people, once some options appear that make them feel "absolutely unacceptable", those "not so acceptable" options seem to be okay.

Zhu Xingda is currently in this state.

Combing his hair wasn't an unbearable experience for him; instead, it allowed him to relax a little from being manipulated. He sat sideways, bending slightly, assuming a position that would make it easier for Chaomu to operate.

Although she seems to be a rebellious kid, in a sense, Mimi Moroboshi seems to be quite sensible.

Chaomu was quite pleased with this quality of his—as expected of a pretty boy who made her feel threatened by a villain, he was truly adept at reading people's expressions. This ability was undoubtedly quite annoying when he was competing with her for work, but when she was the one being courted, it was quite delightful.

Is this the joy of being a wealthy woman? Later in the game, when she has enough resources, she wants to try raising a few more pets: Black Face, for his tea-making prowess, gets the title of Tea Consort; Lu Chuan, for his delicious cooking, gets the title of Rice Consort... No way! A foster father is a foster father; he can't be turned into a pet!

If it weren't for the rather high price of pet gold, Chaomu would have been tempted to bring Zhu Xingda and knock out Black Face and drag him into the trash can. Not only would she eliminate a competitor, but she'd also get him to work for her! She won twice!

It's a pity that it costs 648 yuan to unlock the pet column by krypton gold. It would be better to just grab it. She would have spent all the six yuan directly. The column unlocked by upgrading requires level 50 to unlock one. She is only level 12 now, so she can only slowly grind... Well, let Mimi be an only child for a while.

Mimi, the "only child", had no idea what she was thinking. If she knew, she would probably sit up immediately and correct herself that she was actually older than her.

But ignorance may be a kind of bliss. Mimi Zhuxing bent over cluelessly, watching his "master" take out a pink comb out of thin air, take off his knitted hat, and prepare to "comb" his hair from the top of his head.

After the knitted hat was removed, the pair of pitch-black cat ears finally popped out, standing tall against the thick black hair. When Chaomu's fingers passed over them, the furry triangular ears involuntarily tilted back; when his fingers were removed, the cat ears returned to their original shape.

Chaomu: Wow.

She looked at the man's cool, unchanging profile, her fingers moving back and forth. The cat's head switched back and forth between its original form and the Bull Demon King's. It was funny to watch... no, it was cute.

Zhu Xingda: “…………”

His fingertips moved, and he resisted the urge to cover his ears.

The pair of black cat ears that appeared out of nowhere were just too... When they were poked, a tingling sensation ran up his spine and through his temples, almost making his scalp numb.

"...If possible, please don't..." He suppressed a sigh and planned to try to negotiate with the girl. After all, she seemed quite reasonable before, so it shouldn't be completely impossible to communicate with. "My ears are a little sensitive, so I can't poke them randomly... Hmm..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl's golden eyes lit up - damn, she seemed to be even more excited.

"Is it really that sensitive? That's bad." She sighed hypocritically, but her fingers pinched the trembling cat ears without hesitation, kneading them left and right. "That's not okay, Mimi. Kittens can't have such weaknesses! What if a bad guy pulls your ears during a fight? Let mommy help you overcome it - what's that called? Desensitization training!"

Zhu Xingda: “…………”

Although he had indeed received professional training and had relevant targeted training for weaknesses such as fear... he was absolutely sure that she just wanted to find an excuse to touch his ear.

At this moment, he felt a subtle resonance with Midorikawa Kei's tolerance that night: at that time he was still laughing at Midorikawa's lack of bottom line in coaxing his little lover, but now it seems that the other party may have some reasons to give in.

If resistance only makes her more excited and worse, submission might make her lose interest faster.

……should.

Chaomu indeed quickly lost interest in cat ears.

Although it is very cute to see a cat's ears moving around, it seems boring to touch it for five minutes - after all, Mimi seems to have been desensitized after being touched, and can control her moving ears. She touches her like a wooden cat.

"It seems the desensitization treatment is very effective." She withdrew her hand seriously and pinched the end of his hair instead. "Don't thank me too much. I'll continue to help you comb your hair."

"As long as you're happy." The man's voice was cold but with a subtle sincerity. He leaned over slightly and placed the hair in her hands. The cat ears broke free from the trembling pleasure and trembled twice, pretending nothing had happened.

Compared to his overly sensitive cat ears, he felt nothing when his long hair was pinched - even when his scalp was pressed, he still tensed his muscles uncomfortably.

The girl combed his thick black hair from the roots downwards, bit by bit. Her movements were unexpectedly gentle, relaxing his already tense nerves a little, and even making him feel drowsy.

Magic Meow Comb: A brush every cat will love! It relaxes pets and increases cleanliness and intimacy.

The props produced by the system always work well. Mimi's loyalty and intimacy have both increased a bit. Chaomu combed his hair, touching his hairline with his fingertips, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Mimi, you are mixed-blood, right?"

She had previously thought that although Mimi Moroboshi wasn't as obvious as Xiao Heimian, her facial features showed she was a mixed-race. If she were a cat, could it be a Maine Coon mix?

The question wasn't particularly sensitive, and Zhu Xingda knew it would be difficult for him to keep secrets from her. He tilted his head, seemingly defenseless, and replied calmly, "Yes. I have British ancestry."

"No wonder your hairline is so high." Chaomu, who had just accidentally pulled out two tangled strands of hair, suddenly realized, "Do British cats also shed more easily?"

When he was undercover, he always washed out a handful of hair, but he always thought that long hair was easier to fall out: "…………"

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should first correct the fact that he was not a British cat, or refute the issue of hair loss.

Fortunately, Chaomu didn't necessarily need an answer from him. She spent three minutes combing her hair, and when the task-completed notification popped up, she completely forgot about the question she had just asked.

[Novice Mission (Phase 1) Completed! Unlocked the Pet Basic Habits item, Ding Ding Cat Bell x1]

The golden bell automatically buckled onto his collar. Zhu Xingdai frowned slightly, lowering his gaze to his neck. As he moved, the bell chimed crisply. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt the situation was quite ominous: as a sniper within the organization, wearing this thing, he probably wouldn't be able to complete any missions.

Under the deadly influence of this bell, the revelation of his information seemed less important - and with these cat ears and cat tail, can he still go out now?

[Special File: Tips on Mimi Moroboshi's Lifestyle] [Mimi Moroboshi is a nocturnal animal, and independence is very important to him. Letting him out on his own at night may bring players a special surprise.]

Oh, so it means that if you send him out at night, he can come back with the mission reward the next day.

Chaomu touched his chin thoughtfully and looked at the next one.

As a sniper, Mimi Moroboshi has the patience to ambush his prey. His black fur is his protective color, allowing him to blend into the darkness.

So Mimi Moroboshi is... a part-time gigolo sniper? Kind of like Shiro, a part-time gigolo killer.

It was not difficult for Zhu Xingda to accept that his profession was exposed - after all, looking at the look of the girl in front of him, it was clear that she was not at all surprised by his profession.

Rather, it is better to just expose this information; the label of independence should also be good for him, and his "master" should give him more room to move freely.

"If it's a sniper, the bell might be a little troublesome." As expected, Chaomu was always quite understanding in times like this. She fumbled with the props and pressed the same button again. The black-haired sniper's cat ears and tail disappeared along with the bell.

"This shouldn't affect your work, Mimi." She patted his shoulder lovingly, "Good Mimi, Mommy will rely on you to work and support her."

Nighttime independent operations were probably similar to pet dispatching, where the cat would go on a trip and bring her back souvenirs and mission rewards. She might even receive a postcard from the cat—who knows if it would be a photo of it with a corpse.

This is actually Zhu Xingda's ideal situation: at least it doesn't affect his work, and everything else is fine.

Whether he could use this so-called "system" to satisfy his curiosity or achieve other purposes was not something he should consider for the time being.

Therefore, he just let the girl pat his shoulder and politely remind him, "The second phase of the mission is still waiting for you to accept, Miss."

The mission assigned by the organization was imminent, and Gin's recent irritability was a cross between taking a bullet and premature menopause. It would be best if he could cooperate with her to complete the novice mission as soon as possible, as he also had to complete the organization's mission as soon as possible...

"Oh, right." Chaomu also wanted to finish the task quickly and collect the reward so that he could go to the trash can. When he was reminded by him, he saw the prompt and clicked on the panel, "Let me see if there are any other tasks..."

[Novice Task (Phase 2): Issue a command to your pet to complete command training (you can choose from handshake/kiss/hug/trash can search)]

After completing the first stage of the mission, players will have a good understanding of their pets. In addition to intimacy, the pet's obedience is also very important - please improve its loyalty by completing instructions!

Zhu Xingda: “…………”

His pupils contracted slightly and he looked at the girl: What would she choose...?
