Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Traveling Through Time to Pick Up a Cat

"Here is a weather forecast for you. At around 8pm, most areas of our city will experience heavy rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. The rainfall is expected to last for more than two hours. Please pay attention to safety and bring rain gear when traveling."

Under the crowded traffic lights, Lu Zhiluan looked down at his watch. It showed half past seven. The red light on the other side would turn red in more than a minute, and he felt a little anxious.

"Boom!" A black and purple lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a dazzling white light, and then a deafening thunder.

The noisy voices around were frightened by the thunder and fell silent for a while, and it took a long time to recover.

"Oh my god, I'm scared to death. If I get hit by this, I'll either go through a calamity or travel through time." The little boy standing next to Lu Zhiluan lowered his head and muttered softly, carrying a big bag on his back and holding a black sword in his hand.

Lu Zhiluan couldn't help but take a couple more glances. In modern society, controlled knives are not allowed in public places, yet this kid, who looks to be in high school, is holding it so carelessly, which shows he is quite courageous.

There was a light rain falling from the sky, and the fine rain lines penetrated the neon lights, sparkling with golden light.

The green light came on, Lu Zhiluan walked forward, glanced slightly to the side, and spoke to remind the dazed child next to him.

“Green light.”

A clear and slightly deep voice reached my ears, making me feel numb and tingling.

Zhao Jue was originally in a daze, but when he heard the words and looked over, a dull expression suddenly appeared on his face.

The young man in front of me is tall and has long legs. He is wearing a slim-fitting suit that shows off his waist. His facial features are three-dimensional but not rough. His eyebrows and eyes are just right. His face is cold but not rude, but just a little distant, like the handsome guy in the game with perfect proportions.

Mom, I met Master Qingleng.

Lu Zhiluan didn't know what the boy was thinking, he just gave him a reminder out of good intentions. When he saw the boy come back to his senses and suddenly froze again, he ignored him and walked forward on his own.

Zhao Jue realized it later and chased after him. There were more raindrops in the sky. He held the hilt of the sword and snapped the sword - the umbrella opened.

Jogging forward and holding the umbrella over the cool and handsome guy's head, Zhao Jue summoned up the courage to speak: "Where are you going? If it's on your way, I'll hold the umbrella and take you there..."

Lu Zhiluan glanced at the black umbrella, then at the hilt of the sword, and fell silent for a moment.

It turned out to be an umbrella.

I like it so much, what should I do? I really want to ask for the link, my heart is beating like crazy.

On the surface, Lu Zhiluan had a cold face and pointed to a place not far away and politely refused: "Thank you, but no, I live there."

"Oh... okay." The little boy looked regretful.

After crossing the intersection and watching the man's increasingly faint figure in the rain, Zhao Jue slowly withdrew his gaze, put the umbrella on his shoulder, and slowly walked towards home. He felt lost in his heart, and his mind was full of that stunning face.

Before the heavy rain came, Lu Zhiluan successfully returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a fluffy white ball squatting at the door with its head raised obediently. His appearance was reflected in its beautiful and clear sea-blue eyes.

The cold mask on Lu Zhiluan's face was instantly shattered, and his eyes were burning with passion. He smiled mysteriously like a pervert, and his clear voice had a sickening sweetness.

"Marshmallow~ My precious daughter, you must be hungry. Wait, daddy will cook for you now!"

The white kitten named Marshmallow meowed softly a few times and rubbed against his feet and circled.

Lu Zhiluan covered his heart with his hands happily, he was so cute that he wanted to vomit blood, and his fatherly love was overflowing.

How can there be such a cute little cat in this world, just breathing, giving life to you!

There was a faint sound of thunder outside the window.

"Ding Dong, a small animal has been detected. It is healthy, gentle and friendly, and meets the binding requirements..."

"Preparing to bind..."

There was a strange electronic voice broadcasting mercilessly in his house.

Lu Zhiluan's smile froze on his face. He looked around suspiciously and went over what he had heard in his mind. Translated, it meant that someone wanted to kidnap his daughter!

What!

Boom—the thunder is getting closer.

In a flash, a white spot of light jumped in from outside and rushed straight to the white ball on the ground!

Lu Zhiluan didn't have time to think and quickly grabbed the light.

"Bang!" Lightning struck outside the window at this moment, and with a flash of white light, the people and cats in the room disappeared.

"Binding successful, identifying the environment, scanning the host..."

"Alert, the small animal host has mutated... The main system has determined that it may be an individual, which does not match the current small animal world. Request to unbind... Unbinding failed, request to change the mission..."

"Mission changed successfully, planet V1107, transmitting..."

Lu Zhiluan's ears were filled with the chaotic sound of electrical current, just like the sound that occurs when there is no signal on TV and the screen is full of snow, beeping and making people irritated.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the surroundings became quiet, my body felt light, and my eyelids, which seemed to be glued together, finally showed signs of loosening.

It was drizzling from the sky. In a remote and dirty alley in the old city of 07 Star, a young man was lying on the ground, his body covered with yellow and black mud.

Lu Zhiluan opened his eyes and what he saw was a flat iron can that had been trampled on, with black muddy water flowing down.

"Hello host, welcome to bind to the animal protection system. Caring for animals starts with you and me. Please adopt any small animal within 12 hours to activate the mission world overview, system mission column, mall and other applications."

There was an electronic voice speaking in my head, and an electronic screen with a countdown appeared in front of me.

Sitting up, holding his aching head, Lu Zhiluan looked around blankly at the unfamiliar environment.

"Where is my daughter? Where am I? Who are you?" Lu Zhiluan asked three questions in a row, putting the most important one first.

System: "This is the animal protection system. Due to the host's incorrect operation, the binding target has shifted. The original cat host has been changed to you. Please complete the system tasks carefully and obtain enough points to change the binding."

Lu Zhiluan's face turned cold: "Where's my cat?"

System: "The cat host has been stored in the main god space because of a binding failure. It will be released after the binding is successfully changed."

Lu Zhiluan couldn't help but express his old father's worry: "What is that main divine space? Will she get hungry or thirsty if she stays in there?"

The system was quite patient: "Please rest assured, the cat host will be properly accommodated and will not be harmed."

After listening to this, Lu Zhiluan felt relieved and began to think about his current situation.

In other words, it was supposed to be his daughter who tied up this animal system and turned into a cat hero to travel between different worlds to complete the mission of rescuing small animals, but he interrupted her and it became the old father who took over the mission.

He asked the system: "How many points does it take to change the strap? What will happen to the cat if I go back home after changing it?"

The system answered them one by one: "The specific points need to be checked by the host after activating the mall. After the change of binding, if the host has completed all the tasks, the cat host does not need to complete additional tasks. Otherwise, the cat host needs to take over the host's remaining tasks to unlock the system."

Mission instructions: [Adopt a small animal: Time: 11:50:21. ]

Lu Zhiluan stood up from the ground, symbolically patted his soaked and dirty pants, and walked deeper into the alley.

The system just prompted that small animals appeared near the garbage dump.

He observed the surrounding environment while walking. Because it was a rainy day, there were not many people walking in the alley. The architectural style nearby was very similar to his original world, with a very obvious technological and industrial style.

A pungent, unpleasant smell in the air hit his face. Lu Zhiluan wrinkled his nose uncomfortably, raised his eyes and saw the source of the smell.

Piles of garbage were dumped at random, and unknown liquids of various colors mixed with rainwater flowed all over the ground.

Walking across the dirty and damp ground, my eyes began to search for the small animals hiding there.

In the drizzle, an orange cat with slightly tangled hair jumped onto the wall and squatted on it, staring at him with its raised pupils. Its eyes were a little fierce, and it seemed that it was in a bad temper.

Lu Zhiluan looked around and found that the little animal was the one on the wall, and immediately identified it as the protagonist he wanted to adopt.

He reached out his hand tentatively and touched the cat on the wall, very gently.

"Mimi, come with me."

"Who are you, you savage? What are you doing in my territory?"

The orange cat dodged his hand with disgust, its eyes full of contempt.

Lu Zhiluan's hands froze in the air. He blinked, suspecting that he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear a cat speaking human language.

Lu Zhiluan asked, "You, you can speak human language?"

The orange cat got angry: "Who are you scolding! You are the one who speaks like a human being..." Suddenly the orange cat also froze.

It looked as if it had seen a ghost. It raised its tail and blew at Lu Zhiluan, then turned around, jumped off the wall, and ran away in a few steps.

The system then slowly came online to add instructions, "I forgot to inform the host. After binding to the system, you will automatically obtain primary treatment skills. The host can upgrade by accumulating points. The higher the level, the better the treatment effect. In addition, because the host and the small animals cannot communicate in the same language, the system will give you a free animal language encyclopedia to ensure that the host can communicate with various small animals without any obstacles."

Lu Zhiluan, who was shocked to know the truth, said faintly: "You are weird about human nature."

The system replied indifferently: "It should be."

The orange cat ran away, and there was no further news about the adopted animal, so Lu Zhiluan prepared to leave the garbage dump and look for it somewhere else.

When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a small black object on the ground in the corner. It seemed to move. He walked over and found that it was actually a small black cat, lying alone in the mud and dirty water, dying.

Lu Zhiluan quickly picked it up, and the system prompted, "A small animal has been detected. Do you want to confirm adoption?"

Lu Zhiluan replied, “Yes.”

"Adoption successful, activation task completed, application page activated, beginner guide completed, treatment activated."

As the system prompt sounded, Lu Zhiluan felt a mysterious power in his body, and the instructions for use automatically came to his mind.

He placed his hand above the kitten, and a light green light enveloped the kitten, then disappeared after a moment.

I could feel the cat's body gradually warming up in my hands, and my heartbeat became much more stable.

Lu Zhiluan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step was to find a place to settle down. He quickly took a look at the overview of this world. A stream of strange yet familiar memories flooded into his mind, and he knew his identity in this world.

A poor, half-baked veterinarian, who had just graduated, lived in a shabby house near the old city.

Following the route in his memory, Lu Zhiluan walked forward in the rain and soon found his "home."

Compared to the tall buildings next to it, his house is like a dwarf among giants. It has only two floors and an area of ​​neither too big nor too small. The first floor is empty and has nothing but cracked walls and leaking floors. If a thief comes, he will throw two coins in tears.

There is a bed and a cabinet in the room on the second floor.

Plus a small, 90% old, dirty cat that I just picked up.

This was all the belongings that Lu Zhiluan had on Planet V1107 on the first day of his time travel.
