Chapter 172 Mission... Completed.
To put it nicely.
It's not about throwing down a royal flush!
Shi Miao stared at him blankly, her heart pounding, unable to speak for a moment.
Jiang Yingxu smiled slightly, leaned down, and kissed the corner of her lips.
He repeated it again in a low voice.
"Shi Miao, I love you."
How could this happen!
Who transformed her aloof and ruthless villainous character into the sweet and innocent Jiang?
Oh, it was her.
Shi Miao tried to suppress her smile, but after pursing her lips for a long time, she couldn't help but let them curl up sweetly.
"oh."
The Cat King, with an air of majesty and nonchalantness, gave a casual "oh," then replied in a gruff voice.
"I love you too."
Just as she was about to display her domineering demeanor, intending to stand on tiptoe and forcefully wrap her arms around Jiang Yingxu's neck to kiss him.
Suddenly, an unexpected, crisp sound rang in my ears.
[Ding!]
Shi Miao paused for a moment.
[Special condition detected -]
[Special condition confirmed: "I love you."]
[Ding!]
[Plot completion increased by 100%, current completion rate 100%. Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]
[Ding!]
[Hidden Quest Conditions Triggered—]
[Hidden quest unlocked: Jiang Yingxu's favorability reaches 100.]
[Ding!]
[Affection level met. Confirmed.]
The hidden quest has been completed.
[High-level healing potions, a reward for completing the mission, are being distributed.]
A series of familiar yet unfamiliar ringing sounds flooded the system's backend.
Not only was Shi Miao bewildered, but even the system, which was too lazy to eat cat food and had put itself in do-not-disturb mode, rushed out in a hurry, popping up a small ball of light that was dangling wildly in mid-air.
【What's wrong? What happened?】
The system was confused: "Why did I receive a message saying the task was completed?"
The system carefully examined the information: [What exactly are these special conditions?!]
The system emitted a sharp, loud bang: [What the hell? Why does saying "I love you" instantly refresh the 100% completion rate? Are we here to do a mission or to have a paid romance?!]
This is a cover-up! It's a cover-up!
It will appeal to the Supreme God!
……etc.
The system, recalling the vast array of novels from this world stored in its database, hesitated, probed, and cautiously inquired.
【Stinky cat…no, Your Majesty the Cat King, you really don't have any special identity, and you're not following some script where you're forced to be pampered by a powerful figure behind the scenes after losing your memory, are you?】
That can't be right.
The main god has been staying safely in the space.
Although it has a slightly perverse sense of humor, a tendency to enjoy watching a good show, a love for gossip, and a penchant for picking at broken souls whenever possible...
But I've never heard of anyone having a penchant for going down into the world in person!
Shi Miao: [...]
Perhaps it was because her puzzled expression was too obvious that Jiang Yingxu keenly sensed something was wrong and followed her dazed gaze to look at the empty space in mid-air.
"The system is out?"
He composed himself and asked, "What happened?"
Shi Miao is still a little dizzy.
She looked at the system blankly, then at Jiang Yingxu, and subconsciously moved closer to him.
"The mission... is complete."
-
Perhaps there is a special spacetime channel between the main god space and the small world.
On the way home, after going upstairs.
It didn't take long.
The progress bar, which was originally showing the distribution of task rewards, suddenly turned clear and silvery-white.
With a ding, the high-grade healing potion, which was given as a reward, appeared in the system inventory.
Shi Miao took it out.
The potion is a rich, dark green color, sealed in a long, thin outer shell. As you move your hand, the liquid flows clearly, with tiny, sparkling specks of light shimmering within.
"...Then I'll drink it?"
Shi Miao looked at Jiang Yingxu.
Jiang Yingxu stared intently at the slender vial, unconsciously clenching his fist until his knuckles turned a thin bluish-white.
A task that was completed suddenly.
Strange and unusual conditions.
A miraculous healing potion.
Everything seemed like a reflection of the moon in a mirror or a flower in water, revealing a sense of mystery that humans could not intervene in or change.
Jiang Yingxu had heard Shi Miao mention the Main God, the silvery Main God Space, the diligent System Light Orbs, and the enthusiastic cat-loving mission takers.
In the cat's description, everything is kind.
Jiang Yingxu did not witness it firsthand.
He didn't know if everything was as Shi Miao said, so he could only control himself from thinking about the negative portrayals of the main god and the system in those online works and choose to believe his cat.
Shi Miao's injuries definitely need to be treated.
Jiang Yingxu suppressed his feeling of helplessness and looked intently at Shi Miao, as if afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
When he opened his mouth, his voice was unusually hoarse.
"Drink it."
It's rare for him to show such outward expression.
Shi Miao could see his suppressed unease and reached out to take his hand.
The system kindly reassured him: "[You should tell him that we are a legitimate unit under the Space Administration. This is just a healing potion; it won't turn him back into a cat.]"
Shi Miao relayed this.
Jiang Yingxu simply smiled faintly, neither saying whether he believed it nor not, and obediently nodded in agreement.
With a popping sound.
The lid was unscrewed.
Shi Miao shook the dark green liquid and then brought her nose to the bottle opening to sniff.
It has no taste at all.
Under Jiang Yingxu's gaze, she pressed her lips to the bottle opening, tilted her head back, and the icy liquid rolled down her throat like water.
Shi Miao blinked.
"I didn't feel anything special..."
The next second, a misty, silvery-white light flashed before her eyes.
In the suddenly shrinking field of vision, Jiang Yingxu appeared, rushing towards them in a panic.
His knee slammed heavily onto the floor with a loud thud.
His voice trembled violently as he called out to her, "Shi Miao—"
It's rare to see him so out of control.
besides.
Why did it suddenly turn back into a kitten...?
-
A dazed little cat's head suddenly popped out from the pile of fallen leaves that formed a small hill.
She has a sweet face with a dark orange-brown hue, big eyes, and a short nose. Her pointed ears stand up, and she opens her mouth to give a cheeky yawn.
What was she trying to do?
How did you fall asleep?
The calico cat shook its head, sending a few golden leaves tumbling out from between its long fur.
Amidst the exclamations of cuteness from the college students who stopped to admire it, it gracefully stepped out with its paws and jumped out.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a small yellow plush fish pendant with a tattered thread lying next to me.
I remember now.
The cat was carrying this pendant, hoping to wait by the roadside for a kind person who could fix fish.
Calico cats have their own set of logic—
Among the university students coming and going, there are those who specialize in repairing people. I heard that the university next door also has those who specialize in repairing animals, so there must be those who specialize in repairing fish!
The kitten lowered its head, caught the small fish in its mouth, and looked around.
She shuffled around in her claws and bumped into three or four human women that afternoon.
Unfortunately, they were all idiots; none of them understood what "mi" meant.
Even if the kitten nudged the little fish with its paw, they would only hold up the big bricks they each had and wave them at her from different angles, while shrieking softly in a low voice.
"She's so cute!!!"
"Is she trying to share her toys with us? Mimi, you're so cute!"
"Your toys are cute too!"
The calico cat wagged its tail, ate a chicken-flavored cat treat from their hands, licked its lips, and washed its face.
Then, when someone tries to reach out and touch her, she gracefully snatches the small fish and runs away with her tail wagging.
All that was left for them was a cold, ruthless, furry back view.
Thank you for the treat, but I still prefer the goose meat flavor!
The calico cat wandered across most of the campus, and when it passed a large lake, it glanced sideways at the group of fat, ugly ducks on the water.
What's her name, Yangyang?
That sounds awful.
Mimi sounds better.
The kitten let out a breath from its pink nose and kept looking straight ahead.
Suddenly, I noticed a human male sitting on a bench not far ahead.
Unlike many college students who are either engrossed in books or glued to their phones, he simply gazed calmly at the lake, his profile bathed in the hazy light of the setting sun, quiet and detached.
The aroma carried on the wind carries the scents of the lake's moisture, the lush greenery of the water plants, the fragrance of plump ducks, and a subtle, refreshing fragrance.
Many human males have a foul odor.
He's different. He doesn't.
It has a clean feel that makes cats feel at ease.
The kitten's eyes lit up, and it excitedly ran towards him with the little fish pendant in its mouth, sitting down in front of him.
She put down the little fish from her mouth, gave him a sweet meow, and nudged him with her paw.
"..."
A brief silence.
The human male lowered his eyelashes slightly, his dark eyes looking at the petite, pretty calico cat in front of him, then turning to the worn-out, frayed pendant.
He asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to fix it?"
Good heavens!
He understands!
The kitten's eyes were full of longing, and it meowed sweetly, "Meow~"
Then they saw the human male slightly curve his lips, lower his head, and pick up the small fish pendant from the ground with his fair fingers.
"I know a little."
He said, "Let me help you, little cat."
