Chapter 186 World Seven [End]

The leader must never put himself in danger. As a superior race, the Cat Clan will feel looked down upon if the person they send is not of high enough status.

Under this premise, who else could go? Of course, it was Xiaolu who went with the other two players who were unfortunately dragged in.

There is an essential difference between players and native humans. Things that are taken for granted by most native humans are not accepted by players. From another perspective, players are indeed suitable to act as messengers.

Suppressing the absurd feeling in his heart, Xiaolu was forced to bend down many times along the way before he successfully arrived at the territory of the Cat Clan and saw a peace-loving elder of the Cat Clan.

The cat elder of the peace faction is plump, with very obvious orange stripes on his body, and the whole cat looks extremely kind.

Next to the cat elder stood two relatively young cats with complementary fur, the color of a cow. They called themselves Cat One White and Cat One Black, and were one of the many bloodlines of the clan leader.

Xiaolu likes cats very much. If the situation in this world was not far beyond her understanding, she would have reached out to touch the big orange cat long ago.

After adjusting his mindset, Xiaolu calmly relayed the leader's and his own thoughts.

To sum up, there are two main points. First, carnivores and herbivores can be said to complement each other and there is no need for them to fight.

Second, humans possess intelligence and a robust learning capacity. Their lifespan and physical fitness are comparable to those of other species. From a long-term perspective, humans should be removed from the list of edible species, granting them some protection as intelligent species.

The orange cat elder strongly agreed with the first point, but had some different opinions on the second point.

"Humans really shouldn't be considered an edible species, but we still have a long way to go before we become an intelligent species," the orange cat elder said calmly.

"There are a lot of humans, and 90% of them are uneducated and wild. Not every human is like you."

"Only when more than half of humanity can become as smart as you will we consider making humans intelligent creatures."

The orange cat elder had no ill will towards the three humans in front of her. She was just calmly stating a fact.

As beings at the bottom of the food chain in this world, humans possess very limited intelligence. From the perspective of Xiaolu, a human from another world, most humans are only at the early stages of Homo sapiens intelligence.

It's a state of having some brains, but not much.

However, humans have extremely strong learning abilities. Many humans who are domesticated as pets have learned a lot from interacting with other intelligent animals, and have taught what they have learned to more people.

After hearing the elder's response, Little Green wasn't discouraged. Instead, he took a step back and said, "Humanity might not be an intelligent species yet, but it's very different from other unintelligent species. We might be able to complete this racial transformation within a hundred years." Even if we can't grant humans the treatment they deserve in advance, at least we need to enact appropriate laws to protect them.

"It's possible to enact a law to protect humans. Many races like humans. If we talk to them, we should be able to come up with a set of regulations in three to five years."

The orange cat elder swung his tail, stood up and took two steps towards Xiaolu.

"You are a very smart human. Are you willing to work beside me? I can treat you like a normal cat employee." said the orange cat elder.

It is said that smart humans can help cats take care of their hair very well, and the orange cat elder also wants to raise a smart human to see how it goes.

Xiaolu's face changed slightly. After thanking the Orange Cat Elder for his kindness, he came up with a bunch of reasons to politely decline the Orange Cat Elder's invitation.

The rejected orange cat elder was a little unhappy, but she didn't plan to do anything to Xiaolu and the others. She just asked Xiaolu and the other two to stay in the cat tribe's territory for a while, waiting for her and the tribe leader to discuss things.

"One white, one black, these three humans are now in your care. Don't kill them." The orange cat elder gave a warning, then left with his tail wagging.

Cat Huo Yi, a white cat, and Cat Jing Ke, a black cat, nodded and asked the other cats to take Xiao Lu and the other two directly to their big house.

Huo Yi moved his little hand and issued a temporary task to the other two people, asking them to give up the idea of ​​causing trouble and live quietly in the room that was arranged for them.

As for Xiaolu, he naturally triggered other tasks.

[Congratulations on triggering the side quest. Cat Yibai and Cat Yihei from the Cat Clan seem to have their own little troubles. Please find out what their troubles are and help solve them within three days. Note: Completing this quest will increase your chances of gaining the Cat Clan's favor.]

After taking a look at the task he had triggered, Xiaolu hesitated for a moment. After thinking about the attitude of the orange cat elder, he chose to accept the side quest.

Then, as a special guest, Xiaolu began to observe the every move of Mao Yibai and Mao Yihei.

Xiaolu knew very well that the cat tribe did not treat humans as an equal race. If she rushed up to them and asked them what was bothering them, they would only become wary.

After observing for half a day, Xiaolu discovered that the relationship between Cat Yibai and Cat Yihei was very harmonious, to an extremely strange degree.

Aren't Mao Yibai and Mao Yihei both descendants of the clan leader? They should be related by blood. Under such circumstances, can they be together?

Xiaolu's head was filled with questions. She tried to figure out whether the two cats' troubles were related to the fact that they liked each other but couldn't be together due to their blood relationship.

After asking the calico cat who specializes in cooking indirectly, Xiaolu saw the shock in the cat's eyes, followed by very obvious sympathy.

"You probably haven't been to school, right?" asked the calico cat.

"Ah, no, what's wrong?" Xiaolu was stunned.

"Although the white and black cats are related by blood, their relatives are only their elders three generations up. They can only be considered distant relatives," said the calico cat. "You humans don't have schools, so you probably just know that cats with the same colors can't be together, right? How pitiful."

Little Green: ...

I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!

Xiaolu really wanted to defend himself, but when he thought about the situation of human beings in this world, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.

After discovering that his thinking was wrong, Xiaolu continued to observe, trying to find some new clues.

Later, Xiaolu made many new discoveries. For example, Mao Yibai liked to use her tail to circle Mao Yihei, especially when they were watching TV together, their tails were almost tied into a pigtail.

Can this be considered a worry? Probably not, right?

For example, Mao Yibai and Mao Yihei both like to eat prawns. Currently, two of their three meals have prawns as the staple food.

Is this a worry? Probably not, right?

Damn, what on earth are these two cats worried about? Their lives are so comfortable and they love each other, so they shouldn’t have any worries!

-

"Is there something wrong with the task I posted?" After discovering that Xiaolu was just staring at him all day long, Huo Yi Maomao couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

Huo Yimaomao's thinking logic is actually very simple, which is to issue a side quest to let Xiaolu pay attention to his movements, and then accidentally find a document on the table in the process.

The document actually records a very important piece of information, that is, there are humans around the war faction among the herbivores.

There are those who want to fight for human rights through reasonable and legal means, and there are also those who take an unconventional approach.

This is what humans, who are taking a radical approach, plan to do. They hope that both carnivores and herbivores will suffer losses, so that humans can seize this opportunity to grow stronger.

Of course, the best outcome is that herbivores defeat carnivores. In this case, if humans are given a little time, they may become another form of carnivore.

If Xiaolu can notice this document, then the task will pop up a corresponding reminder, indicating that she has discovered the troubles of the two cats.

At that time, Xiaolu only needs to paint a big pie for the two cats, and the task will be solved.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Xiaolu's focus seemed to be completely misplaced. She didn't pay any attention to the documents on the desktop at all. She was only focused on watching herself and Jing Ke chatting.

"Maybe this world is too subversive for Xiaolu. She is now seeking cooperation on behalf of humans and the cat tribe. If we find out that she is peeking at documents, the cooperation between the two parties may be broken." Jing Ke said.

"Without adequate preparation, it's normal for Xiaolu to remain vigilant." Jing Ke paused, "Actually, the administrator's authority is quite extensive. Since our stance aligns with the world consciousness, we can be relatively direct."

"Be more direct?" Huo Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, be more direct." Jing Ke nodded.

Then Jing Ke demonstrated to Huo Yi what it meant to be more direct.

"Human, come here." Jing Ke opened the door and waved to Xiaolu, who was still thinking hard, with his black gloves.

In fact, Xiaolu had already noticed the document, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He shuddered and looked at Jing Ke with a little confusion.

"Master Cat, are you calling me?" Xiaolu pointed at himself.

Jing Ke nodded and said, "Bring the documents on the table here."

"Oh, okay." Adhering to the idea that one has to bow his head under the eaves, Xiaolu behaved very obediently. After picking up the document, he walked over without looking around.

"Human, you want us to coexist peacefully with that herbivorous race, right?" Jing Ke went straight to the point.

"Yes, Master Cat, if you go to war with those people, almost all intelligent species will be affected. The ones who will suffer the most will be pacifists like the Cat Tribe..."

Xiaolu can successfully complete so many copies, so he must have real skills. After getting into the state, he started to talk freely.

As a human being, you will always make some promises.

According to Xiaolu's description, starting a war and not starting a war have two completely different outcomes. Intelligent races with insight and foresight should all oppose war.

Jing Ke shook his black tail a little, without revealing his attitude, but directly opened the file and turned to the page that recorded the key clue.

"But not every human thinks the same way as you do," Jing Ke said, pressing the pad of her paw against the paper. "We've found out that you humans have more than one idea. Some of you are warmongers. They think the herbivores should eliminate all of us meat-eaters so that everyone can have a better future."

After hearing Jing Ke's words, Xiaolu immediately sounded the alarm in his heart, "Master Cat, the vast majority of us humans are pacifists. These people are only a tiny minority and cannot represent us humans!"

"Really? How are you going to prove that your ideas are different from these people?" Jing Ke Maomao tilted his head, and his golden vertical pupils locked onto Xiaolu.

Xiaolu suddenly felt the pressure on him soar. After ignoring the familiar feeling of oppression, he racked his brains to express his position.

Jing Ke behaved very calmly throughout the whole process. After Xiaolu spoke for nearly half an hour, he just said "hmm" without comment.

"I allow you to make a handwritten copy of this report. I hope that within three months, this group of humans with incorrect ideas will correct their mistakes," Jing Ke said.

After hearing Jing Ke's words, Xiaolu nodded quickly, took the paper and pen that Huo Yi kindly handed to her without saying a word, and began to copy it carefully.

"You see, in this way we have told the other party the key clues in a relatively reasonable way. Now we just need to wait for Xiaolu to finish copying the document, and then we will have completed the task you issued." After closing the door, Jing Ke lowered his voice and said.

Huo Yi nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that it was time to correct his habit of thinking too much, otherwise he would end up being too clever.

When they were sitting next to each other on the sofa in the living room, Huo Yi suddenly remembered something.

"If I remember correctly, that document seems to have more than ten pages? It should have more than ten thousand words in total? If Xiaolu wants to complete the task within the time limit, does he need to work day and night?" Huo Yi asked.

If it is something you read yourself, it’s fine; you can write it in cursive.

But the document that Xiaolu copied was destined to be seen by all mankind, so neat handwriting was the most obvious requirement.

"Xiaolu should have a lot of props, right? There are still thirteen hours before the mission ends. We can do it if we try hard." Jing Ke was silent for a moment.

Jing Ke had to admit that he had not been thoughtful enough.

But compared to racking her brains to think about what troubles she and Huo Yi are having, Xiaolu should prefer this kind of task that only requires hands-on work and no brainpower, right?

"Now that the mission is completed, let's step back. Xiaolu is sometimes quite quick to react." Huo Yi said, and at this moment he was determined not to reveal his true identity in front of the other party.

-

With Jing Ke and Huo Yi's efforts in passing on information, Xiaolu, after being forced to be a guest for seven days, finally obtained the official asylum document with the paw print of the Cat Clan Leader, thus exceeding the mission's mission.

During these seven days, Xiaolu, whose reflexes were so slow, also figured out something.

Appearance, voice and even race can be changed, but some small habits that are ingrained in our bones cannot be changed.

Xiaolu is Huo Yi's best friend after all. After the first three days of relative progress, she discovered many coincidences in the following four days.

For example, a certain Huo Yi cat’s preference for eating fruit, its posture when relaxing, and the familiar look in the cat’s eyes.

Once or twice can be considered a coincidence, but if there are too many coincidences, it is obvious that there is something fishy going on.

Fortunately, the orange cat elder came back in time, and the documents he brought back interrupted Xiaolu's trial plan and set her on the path of working hard for the rise of mankind.

Because of the special nature of this copy, there is no time limit for players to obtain tasks.

In other words, if this group of players choose to delay, they may be trapped in this world forever.

-

After confirming that Xiaolu had teamed up with other players to deal with humans with extreme ideas, Jing Ke and Huo Yi lived a relatively comfortable life for a short period of time.

Cats' body structures are different from humans', so when we sleep together at night, we always discover little surprises.

It is normal for cats to cuddle and lick each other, and usually the cat with higher status licks the cat with lower status.

Huo Yi, who became a member of the cat tribe, also picked up similar habits. He liked to lick Jing Ke's cat's fur whenever he had time to show his status.

Jing Ke didn't mind being licked at all, and even recorded a corresponding video with great interest, saying that he wanted to commemorate their special experience.

What Huo Yimaomao didn't know was that after she became a trainee administrator, Jing Ke would secretly transfer energy to her every time they were together while she was too tired to sleep, so that she could feel super awesome the next day.

-

Thanks to Xiaolu's efforts, it took humans two months to suppress those who had extreme ideas.

After gaining the help of the cat tribe, they once again gained the support of the peace-loving races on both sides, such as the dog tribe, the rabbit tribe, the mouse tribe, etc.

According to the initial mission criteria, players will be considered to have completed the mission after successfully preventing a large-scale war between carnivores and herbivores. Players who leave after the public notice of the draft Human Protection Law have concluded will receive a fivefold completion reward.

The former was nearly complete after humanity dealt with the extremists. Some players, unable to accept the distorted world, left quickly, but many chose to stay.

Humanity has already gained the support of so many races. It is only a matter of time before the Human Protection Act is passed. If we work hard, we may be able to get it passed next year.

In this case, why would they choose to leave?

The fivefold reward means that after they pass through this dungeon world, they can get five times the rest time.

Three months five times that is over a year. The danger of staying here is far less than having to clear four extra dungeons with unknown situations!

On the 300th day that Xiaolu gradually adapted to the world of cats, the draft of the Human Protection Act was announced under everyone's expectation.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to pass the customs smoothly in fifteen days.

These fifteen days were extremely difficult for Xiaolu and other veteran players.

For Huo Yi, whose soul strength skyrocketed, who successfully merged soul fragments and recovered all his memories, these fifteen days were also extremely difficult.

After waking up from a short sleep, Huo Yi stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time, until he found Jing Ke looking at her with a smile, and then he got up with a helpless look on his face.

"Sorry, it's my fault." The first thing Huo Yi said was to apologize to Jing Ke, "If I hadn't been convinced by the rules, Jing Ke, you..."

"No, it's not your fault. The person who is wrong is the rule from beginning to end, isn't it?" Jing Ke thought about Huo Yi's words.

I gave so much luck and energy to Huo Yi, not to make her apologize to me.

Huo Yi exhaled lightly, "I thought the rules were absolutely fair and just, without any self-consciousness or selfishness."

"That's what I thought at first, but unfortunately. Rules are just a cunning acquired consciousness that devours the energy of many parts of the world in corners we don't notice, pretending to be the so-called rules." Jing Ke spread his hands.

Jing Ke: "Now that you remember it, can we consider taking back your body and then fighting back?"

Huo Yi frowned. "My body is similar to the fragments of your original body that you left here. It has become the core that maintains the three thousand worlds. If I take my body out at will, many worlds will become similar to copy worlds."

Strictly speaking, Huo Yi is also a higher-dimensional being. She is a remnant of consciousness left after the Creator created the Three Thousand Worlds. She only possesses a physical body thanks to the collective nourishment of the Three Thousand Worlds' consciousness.

Jing Ke's origins were similar. She was the instrument used by the Creator to transform the Three Thousand Worlds. Originally, she had no consciousness, but as Huo Yi gained a physical form, she gradually developed consciousness.

As the only two creatures left after the Creator's passing, the two had spent millions of years together, so it was only natural for them to come together.

Huo Yi and Jing Ke each inherited a part of the power of the Creator, so after the three thousand worlds gave birth to life and civilization, they became the existence that guarded the three thousand worlds.

What the two of them need to do on a daily basis is somewhat similar to what the administrators of the copy world do. They need to save some small worlds that are on the verge of destruction and give them new life.

This went on for who knows how many tens of thousands of years before something that called itself the Rule appeared. It possessed powers very similar to those of the two, and could sense the evolution and development of different worlds and interfere with them.

The rules claim to be completely fair and just, and are a backup plan left by the Creator, created to protect the three thousand worlds.

The rules spoke in a set of ways and were disguised very well, making Huo Yi believe that the other party was a being similar to the laws of humans.

Huo Yi felt that she could not be completely fair and just. She paid more attention to the world she liked, and she could not deny that she was selfish.

So after observing the rules for thousands of years and finding that he lived up to his name, Huo Yi followed the advice of the rules, leaving behind her body and experiencing various different lives in the state of soul, allowing her to constantly improve herself.

Huo Yi did not leave without any preparation. Jing Ke was the backup she left behind.

However, Jing Ke was also deceived by the rules into using the trap that Huo Yi was in danger. Her original body as a tool was broken by the rules and turned into a so-called system.

Jing Ke didn't understand the reason for the rules at first, but after regaining her memory, she understood it.

The original intention of the rules was to trick Huo Yi into the small world and then absorb his power.

But the rules are not real rules. He cannot be contaminated by the power of the Creator at all, and can only act as a medium through the fragments of Jing Ke's body.

This is also the reason why Jing Ke was able to regain consciousness after his consciousness was wiped out.
