Failed again.

The voice that suddenly appeared in her mind instantly chased away Alina's drowsiness.

What are the benefits of enabling this feature?

Alina silently recited it in her heart.

[When the "Exclusive Furry" reaches 70% affection, mission points are multiplied by 2; when the "Exclusive Furry" reaches 80% affection, mission points are multiplied by 3; when the affection reaches 90%, points are multiplied by 5; when the affection reaches 100%, points are multiplied by 10.]

[Would you like to enable it?]

[Start!]

How could it not be turned on? Alina was now incredibly energetic!

The "Exclusive Furry Title" has been successfully activated!

Only furry creatures with a 70% affinity rating can be bound to the "Exclusive Furry Creature" title.

Note: Only one device can be bound.

[The favorability rating system is loading...]

[Ding-dong~ Loading successful!]

[Search for cute girls.]

Alina looked at the kitten in her arms and silently prayed.

[Named, little cutie.]

Alina envisioned an ultra-high-definition 4D image of a blue-eyed, white-furred cat.

The aloof cat has three big, golden characters on its head: Little Cutie.

[Ding-dong~ Detection successful!]

My little cutie's affection level is below 70%, please keep trying!

Alina was somewhat disappointed, but it was also within expectations.

What about the other five?

[Ding-dong~ The system did not detect a valid target. Please try again!]

Okay, it seems this system isn't smart at all.

It cannot accurately detect the level of affection; it can only show whether the target level is met.

There must also be a test subject present at the scene.

With that thought, Alina's attention returned to the three golden characters in her mind.

It's also possible that the object being tested doesn't need to be on-site.

If it has already been named and has a history, it might be possible to detect it remotely.

These are all Alina's guesses.

It requires further exploration and experimentation.

I can't sleep, how can I possibly sleep now?

Let's get the battle plan in motion!

etc.

Looking at the adorable (oblivious) kitten in her arms, and thinking about the low favorability rating she hadn't reached, Alina suddenly had an idea.

Will my affection level increase if I let my little cutie sleep in the house for one night?

Thinking this way, Alina did just that.

The sound of rushing water echoed in the somewhat empty bathroom.

The light green basin, neither too big nor too small, gradually filled with warm water over time.

The bathroom door was tightly closed.

Chu Yanbing stared at the flower fairy guarding the bathroom door, and fell into intense self-doubt.

Why didn't he realize what was happening while the other person was carrying him to the bathroom?

It's obvious she wants to give his beast form a bath again!

Why!

The snow leopard's dignified and indifferent demeanor vanished the moment it met Alina.

But should we just compromise like this?

Obviously impossible!

A cat with snow-white fur sat upright on the washbasin, its eyes shining brightly.

Alina could sense the kitten's wariness and its resistance to bathing.

But as long as it hasn't started scratching yet.

She felt there was still room for maneuver.

After all, no cat will stay in the bathroom obediently from beginning to end.

I checked the status of the bathroom door lock.

Alina then stepped forward and took out the pet shampoo that she had prepared beforehand.

Seeing the words "For Beast Form Only" written on the light green packaging, Chu Yanbing didn't know what expression to make.

Clearly, the flower fairy had made preparations in advance.

Has she forgotten that he's a male beastman?!

"Meow." No.

Chu Yanbing cried out in distress, but when she saw the other person's excited expression, she fell silent.

All right.

In the heat of the moment, I forgot about the language barrier.

If communication fails, then you'll have to "save yourself."

Fortunately, the bathroom door here didn't use a key unlocking method. Chu Yanbing leaped lightly on all fours, simultaneously flicking her tail, which was as long as her body.

It successfully hung upside down on the doorknob.

With a flick of its cat-like paw, it pressed the red button below the handle.

With a "click," the hand was successfully pressed down under the force of gravity.

The bathroom door opened immediately.

The cat's series of movements were so fluid and natural that they didn't seem like a coincidence at all.

Alina only saw a flash of silver light before her eyes, and the locked door opened a crack the next second.

The liquid cat slipped out of the crack in an instant.

A few cat hairs swirled around her.

"Failed again."

Holding the pet shampoo, Alina looked down at the overflowing bowl of water and felt a little down.

Elves are the darlings of nature, and as animals that are part of the natural world, we are generally very close to them.

This kitten, however, acted unusually, refusing almost every attempt to be bathed or petted.

Could it be because of the rules that her affinity for animals has decreased?

But I still can't figure this out.

After all, the tigers were very friendly to her.

On the windowsill.

The evening breeze ruffled the long fur on Chu Yanbing's body, and the claws that had been raised quietly fell.

Will she cry because she's sad?

The cat looked back with its icy blue eyes, its snow-white whiskers trembling nervously.

Its tail thumped impatiently against the edge of the windowsill.

But it seems that this flower fairy has never been seen crying.

Even though she often coughs up blood.

It appears delicate, yet it resembles a small grass that has weathered storms and grown strong in the wild.

He exudes vitality and energy from the inside out.

He was completely different from a dying man like him.

A thought of worry crossed Chu Yanbing's mind, and he raised his claws to activate stealth mode.

In the small manor, countless intelligent live-streaming spheres are working diligently.

Apart from the evening breeze and the starry sky, nothing seemed unusual.

After patrolling the area, Chu Yanbing returned to his territory.

He took out his custom-designed optical computer and released a wisp of his mental energy.

Upon detecting a matching mental energy, the quantum computer automatically activated and, under the controller's awareness, sent a communication to each of the two accounts.

Withdraw your mental energy and turn off the quantum computer.

Chu Yanbing crawled into the automatic shower machine in the bathroom, and soon, carrying a slightly cool scent, jumped onto the silver nest on the gray-black bed.

Its tail naturally circled around, and its body curled up into a ball.

Feeling the pain intensifying, the cat's ears trembled, and its eyelids, adorned with silver eyelashes, closed.

Close your eyes and sleep lightly.

Touching the cold doorknob, Alina wondered: Are all the kittens here so strong-tailed?

Does your tail not hurt?

Put away any toiletries that you don't need for the time being.

Alina looked at the photos lying around, straightened them, took out an opaque sealed bag, and put the photos inside.

If there's a chance later, I'll use the tracking magic to ask the person who took the photo.

Where was this snow leopard photographed?

*

Tigers, pandas, and foxes are now her closest companions.

The white wolf and the lion are still in a wait-and-see state, accepting food but not daring to take it.

The little cutie is the most distant, refusing even to be fed, so her affection level should be the lowest.

If I had to pick the best pet for taming, it would definitely be a cute little creature with long, soft fur.

However, in order to regain her "freedom" as soon as possible, Alina decided on a strategy of casting a wide net.

Before you can bind your own furry friend, you still need to complete tasks to maintain your daily need for painkillers.

According to the unwritten plan, Alina's next step was to play games.

It's a very simple game; all you need is some delicious food.

The most important point is animal cooperation.

This is also why Alina hadn't taken any action before.

Alina had originally planned to observe for a few days, but the title she unlocked today made her impatient.

Playing games is also a great way to get closer to your pet.

Lying on the soft bed, Alina missed her treehouse.

In her dream, Alina returned to the land of the elves.

The scattered stars, a blend of fiery red and silver, shimmered brilliantly in the morning light.

Holding a weapon, the hundred-year-old elf, barely an adult, wore a prayer robe with a fiery red base and silver trim, and a forehead ornament entwined with flowers and plants.

A few strands of silvery-white moonlight danced within the fiery red seeds of the Flame Moon Flower, and the crimson-silver seeds seemed to shimmer with life between the beautiful elf's brows.

Colorful star crystal flowers grow around the towering Fairy Mother Tree.

Each flower, as dazzling as a star and as clear as crystal, is the resting place of the soul of a departed spirit.

They will pray together with the Elf Mother Tree for the newborn elves, bringing protection to the elven race.

The solemn-faced spirit makes its final prayer before undergoing trials on the mother tree.

I pray that after a hundred years of trials, I can slay many evil dragons and return home safely.

After bidding a final farewell to her mother, the elf embarked on her own unique path of growth.

Later, the still-naive elves became increasingly sharp through the trials of battle.

Whenever she heard news of a dragon, she was always the first to arrive at the battlefield.

Watching the dragon's black, foul-smelling blood splatter, she would always think of her father, who had transformed into a silver-white star crystal flower.

Whenever she saw the dragon fall, the blood that had been burning with passion from the battle would gradually calm down.

It felt as if my father's warm, dry palm was touching my head.

As a healing-type spirit, everything about her father is sacred.

Warm words, long platinum blonde hair, pale gold eyes...

Everything is deeply treasured in the depths of my daughter's memory.

Alina and her mother, a fire-attribute battle spirit, often leave the realm of spirits to fight on the front lines against evil dragons.

The mysterious and beautiful realm of elves, protected by battle elves, remains peaceful and vibrant year-round.

However, if either the elf or the mother tree is weakened, a dragon with the talent for stealth and a penchant for slaying spirits will descend.

Breaking the beautiful and pure paradise.

"Ring ring~ Ring ring~"

A crisp yet noisy bell rang in my ears, waking the slumbering sprite.

I wonder if it's because I stay up late.

Although she could hear the alarm clock ringing, Alina felt as if she were being controlled by something sticky and dark.

He struggled to move his right hand, but couldn't get up at all.

The ringtone grew louder and louder.

The eyelids, as if glued shut, trembled with difficulty, supporting a small space within themselves.

The moment her misty, crimson eyes met the light, she seemed unable to bear the faint morning light filtering through the curtains.

A single, glistening tear slid down her cheek, falling silently into the fluffy blankets.

"Ha~"

Alina yawned wearily.

I reached out and bent down to turn off the ringing alarm clock.

"Shall we play a game?"
