Chapter 607 Haining Cat Island (17) [VIP]
Actually... Actually, Guan Hongyan's worry that Lu Changfeng would join the religion was a bit unfounded.
Bai Jinshu rested his chin on the leopard cat and typed: [Lu Changfeng cannot join the sect. ]
The Saint of the sect denied it himself, and Lu Changfeng was greatly hurt: [Why?! ]
Barrage: [Because the Cat Saint has a basic conscience as a Saint. ]
【Don’t lie to fools? 】
[? Are we rice noodle rolls smart people? ]
[It's hard to say. It's not smart to not realize that I can't join the church at this time.]
In the temporary group chat, after Lu Changfeng's speech, a new line of words slowly appeared:
Yun Guang: [Because fixed attributes are not suitable. ]
Just kidding, most of the people who join the Redemption Society are disabled. Even if they are not disabled when you meet them, judging from Du Zhongsheng's performance, when these people join, they will inevitably chop something on the spot.
Although Lu Changfeng meets the requirements for joining the sect, his fixed attributes will make it difficult for him to see others get hurt.
Regardless of whether Du Zhongsheng will really develop a sect in this unknown space and then kill people, just based on Lu Changfeng's fixed attributes, he is actually naturally in conflict with the Redemption Society.
[Yes, yeah] Guan Hongyan also realized it, [It’s okay then, you two can go.]
She instantly became free and easy.
Since Lu Changfeng will be fine, it would be more reasonable for Du Zhongsheng to go out and save the cat.
On the one hand, the tentacle god covered with cat skin on his head can intimidate all cats, so as long as He is catching cats, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
On the other hand, they have not yet figured out what the two cats' destructive acts last night were aimed at, and the leader is very likely one of the targets, so letting him leave the Cat Deity Academy and go to an unfamiliar environment at this time will actually help them explore.
"Then there will be three of us, Dr. Du, and Lao Lu," Li Ge immediately made the decision when he saw that no one objected. "Lao Lu will take the camera, and Dr. Du and I will catch cats. This should be the first time that the leader has participated in catching cats, so we must make a video and post it online!"
"If possible," he lowered his voice and whispered to Lu Changfeng, "Take more pictures of Dr. Du's face. This will attract more fans."
There is no technical requirement to shoot a cat-rescue vlog. After all, they are filming cats, not people. The framing and characters are not important. As long as the whole process can be recorded, it’s fine.
But with Du Zhongsheng being such a powerful fan-attracting tool, it’s hard for Li Ge not to be tempted.
"If we have more fans, we will have more business opportunities..." He rubbed his hands and imagined, "In the later stage, we can be like the main hospital, and we don't have to pay for the deworming, cat food, and surgery fees of the kidnapped cats..."
"Brother Li, Brother Li," Lu Changfeng had to interrupt his fantasy, "Your phone is ringing."
"Ah...oh," Li Ge suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone, "Hello...okay...okay, we can do it...if your uncle says it's okay, we'll listen to him...okay, let's come over now."
"The abbot's adoptive parents called," Li Ge put down his phone, "and said that her second uncle insisted on coming along. Her family said that the second uncle is good at finding cats and will definitely be able to find where her monk went. They asked us to go over and meet him."
"Monk cat?" Fang Xiang twitched his lips. "Abbot? I think thirty-nine sounds better."
"I think so too," Li Ge agreed, "but according to the naming rules of Thirty-Nine, he should be called Forty now."
"Forty doesn't sound as fashionable as thirty-nine." Wu Meng appreciated the name.
"It sounds better than 'abbot', right?" Li Ge muttered, "I've lived for so many years and this is the first time I've seen someone who's worse at naming than me."
I don’t know if her adoptive uncle had any questions when he heard this name.
Speaking of the adoptive uncle...
"How do we find it?" Guan Hongyan was curious. "Does her uncle have a cat-finding radar? Haining Island is so big, how can he know where a cat ran away?"
Could it be that every stray cat on Haining Island has a ring or collar with a locator? She didn't seem to have seen it on the abbot yesterday.
"I don't know," Li Ge said casually as he stood up and packed up the props needed to catch the cat. "But it's not surprising. Many elderly people on the island are like this. They have lived with cats all their lives, so it's normal for them to have some special skills. I even saw my mother speak cat language when I was a child."
"I really wanted to learn it at that time," he said, curling his lips in dissatisfaction, "but my mother said that I only scored 40 points in elementary school math and my IQ was not suitable for learning cat language."
"I think his mother is right..." Guan Hongyan whispered, "Getting 40 in elementary school math sounds really low IQ."
"I heard you say bad things about me!" Li Ge's ears were sharp. "I got 40 on the test because my mom refused to teach me. I studied cat language on my own for more than a month!"
"So what did you say based on your research?" Bai Jinshu also became interested.
Could it be that Brother Li has the skills to become the owner of a branch of the pet hospital?
“…I haven’t figured it out yet,” Li Ge paused and sighed, “I studied it for a month and found that my mom was right. I can’t learn this thing at all. All I hear is a combination of meow, mia, woo, woo, woo…”
As he spoke, he recalled what he had studied more than a decade ago, and said uncertainly: "Is it meow or woo? I can't remember, but the cat at my doorstep sometimes pays attention to me and sometimes ignores me."
"Meow?" Guan Hongyan called out curiously to the leopard cat above Bai Jinshu's head, and the leopard cat turned its head away with a look of disdain.
Guan Hongyan: ...her shouting was unnecessary.
"Yeah, yeah, that's the look," Li Ge immediately supported the leader and said, "I imitated my mom's way of calling cats, and the cats at my doorstep were just like that, but they reacted to what my mom said, why?"
Barrage:
【Is it possible that your accent is not correct? 】
【Cat: My family has a visitor from out of town. 】
[The stinky outsider came to Haining to play with cats again.jpg]
【Cat: Pidgin, this is Pidgin! 】
[Wait, don't be so busy making jokes. Doesn't anyone think it's weird that Li Ge's mom can speak cat language? Isn't this the rule of this world? For example, the people here are actually transformed from cats, so they speak cat language or something like that...]
[My heaven, big brother, don’t leave, your cat girl is waiting...]
[In addition to the cat girl, there are also cat boys, cat aunts, cat boys, cat milk, cat masters... all of which can satisfy various XP and collect the cat's life in one stop. 】
[There’s no need to mention Mao Dalang! This breed sounds like a short-legged cat! ]
[Didn't anyone notice the point? If humans are all transformed from cats... then Li Ge and the others... who have chopped off the balls of their own kind... aren't they... uh.]
【Um……】
[The Qing dynasty has not yet fallen... There are many eunuchs on Haining Island. ]
【A joke from hell.】
*
Qingyuan District, Haining Island.
Brother Li parked the car according to the location sent by the abbot's adoptive parents, and saw Lu Changfeng dutifully get out of the car, take out the camera, and start taking pictures of Bai Jinshu's face.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," he quickly praised Lu Changfeng's positive attitude, "You're a teachable kid, just shoot it right in the face like this, let me see... Damn! Why!"
He looked at Du Zhongsheng's face in the camera with a distorted expression: "Why is it that your face is not distorted at all in the camera?"
It even looks better than it does with the naked eye.
"I'm going to fight with you good-looking people." Brother Li turned around and walked away, gritting his teeth.
Bai Jin, who was left behind by him, said: There is no need to use Pinduoduo to earn money.
At this moment, the watches of the two exploration team members vibrated twice at the same time.
The two of them looked down at the same time, and saw Yun Guang's message pop up in the group: [I thought about it, theoretically speaking, cat language should be achievable, and some of the team members Hong Yan and I knew before can also do it. ]
Animal language is not like human language. It has no fixed grammar. Generally speaking, communication is achieved through some simple syllables and tone changes. In most cases, this language is accompanied by some body movements to assist understanding or express emotions.
The communication between animals does not contain as much textual information as human language. Most of the syllables + hardening can actually only express some simple meanings.
So in many cases, as long as you are willing to study, it is not difficult to master this unique "language".
But for most people, there is no benefit to this. After all, the amount of information in animal language is extremely low, so it is useless even if you master it.
When Yun Guang mentioned this, Guan Hongyan also remembered: [Oh, I told you about Xiao Zhong, she can speak insect language.]
Sounds a bit familiar...
Bai Jinshu lowered his head and typed: [Insect language? To what extent? Different insects speak different languages, right? ]
Guan Hongyan: [I don’t know how many types she knows. I haven’t seen her much. I’ve only met her twice in unknown space. She can release insects to explore. This is not a fixed attribute, but her own skill.]
After hearing this, Bai Jinshu remembered.
He had met someone who fit the clue of being able to control insects to go out and gather information before in the space of [Non-Humans], but at that time her external name was Nian Yu.
Although everyone knew that this was a pseudonym, this was the first time he knew that the girl's real name was Xiao Zhong.
The two words "Zhong" and "Gu" look very similar. Xiao Zhong's ability to speak insect language should be closely related to raising Gu.
Sure enough, Yun Guang corrected him: [Xiao Zhong doesn’t understand insect language. The insects she released were her own Gu. She should have another communication system. I’m talking about Yuan Yuan.]
This person... Bai Jinshu has never heard of him.
Even Guan Hongyan recalled for a few seconds before she suddenly realized: [Oh... is it the man who can speak bird language that we met in that unknown space [Cloud Ancient Lane] before? I remember that he can communicate with birds, but it’s useless. ]
Yun Guang: [Yes, Yuanyuan can understand birds talking, but can only communicate with some simple commands, such as being hungry, thirsty, eating, drinking, hunting, playing, and getting injured. It is difficult to communicate with dense information.]
This is very slow and consistent with the characteristics of animal language.
Guan Hongyan took advantage of the other party's absence and said bluntly: "So I always think that Fan Yuanyuan's skill is useless, but it's not easy to say it's useless in front of you."
Knowing that the bird was hungry or thirsty was of no help in the exploration. She had thought at the beginning that this person could release the bird to gather information and had high hopes for it.
Yun Guang typed helplessly: [Don't say that... It is still somewhat useful. Didn't we come up with the last rule based on what the bird said? ]
And can't I just say it to his face... The fact that Guan Hongyan was not beaten to death before she met him was enough to show that her skills were also at the upper-middle level in the foundation.
The two high-end team members seemed to dislike another high-end team member who was not present in the group. The four newcomers in the team did not dare to say a word. They only dared to silently open a temporary group chat to watch the two big guys chatting.
Among the four high-end team members, Bai Jinshu and Lu Changfeng are from the same period. Guan Hongyan and Yun Guang should have stayed in the foundation the longest among the current team. These two have also known each other the longest. It is normal for some people they have never seen before to appear in the conversation. They don't know Fan Yunyun, but Lu Changfeng and Bai Jinshu are actually familiar with Xiaozhong, who goes by the alias Nianyu.
Lu Changfeng rarely showed his emotional intelligence and quickly changed the subject: [If that's the case, doesn't it mean that we can't be sure whether Li Ge's mother is Xiao Zhong or Fan Yuanyuan? ]
Without knowing how well Li Ge's mother knows cat language, we cannot proceed to the next step.
His idea was similar to the others in the comment section. When the topic of understanding cat language was mentioned, he thought that the indigenous people of this island might not be human.
If Li Ge's mother's understanding of cat language is only the same as Fan Yuanyuan's, then it cannot be confirmed that the island residents have some kind of connection with cats, because this kind of cat language can be acquired. On the contrary, if her communication with cats has exceeded the information content that cat language can express, then there must be some kind of relationship between the two that they have not yet discovered.
This may also be the reason why Li Ge’s mother was unable to teach him cat language.
Bai Jinshu looked at Brother Li who was walking in front of him, lowered his head and continued typing: [I have to find an opportunity to meet Brother Li’s mother. ]
Du Zhongsheng: [The two farces last night may have nothing to do with us. ]
Originally, everyone thought that the two cat-destroying incidents that occurred last night might be related to Huaijiamu or the exploration team members. After all, they were the only ones who had a connection with these two places.
But now that the information that Li Ge's mother can speak cat language has been revealed, there is one more thing in common between the two attacks: they are both inextricably linked to Li Ge's mother.
The branch manager of the Maode Academy is her son, and the house where the exploration team members live is her neighbor's old house. Add to that the information that she can speak cat language, and the possible intentions of these two waves of cats become much more complicated.
They might be here to look for Li Ge's mother, but it is more likely that they were sent here by someone who understands cat language. After all, no one has stipulated that Li Ge's mother is the only one on the island who understands this minor language.
The group was silent for a few minutes. Yun Guang was probably thinking: [Okay, let's think of a solution.]
Guan Hongyan: [No more chatting, we have to do the surgery! ]
After these two people went for surgery, the remaining four newcomers dared to show up quietly.
Wu Meng: [In fact, I have a self-media account in my native world that focuses on pet communication. It can communicate with cats in a simple way. I think Li Ge’s mother is more like this.]
Wu Meng: [If you say that cats can understand everything you say, then they must be spirits, which is really scary.]
Fang Xiang: [It’s hard to say. You think it’s scary because you subconsciously think that cats can’t chat with people in meow language. But if Li Ge has been around cats that can chat with his mother since he was a child, then he would think this is normal.]
Yu Changlin: [Well... let me interrupt. ]
Yu Changlin: [Is there a possibility... I mean possibility... that Li Ge's mother is playing a trick on the child? ]
Yu Changlin added: [After all, I often lied to my nephew and said that my uncle is a magician who can make cheese candy...]
Wu Meng: [. . . ]
Fang Xiang: [. . . ]
Even Tong Yao, who was undergoing surgery, took the time to reply to three comments: […]
On the bullet screen, a line of large characters floated across:
[That makes sense, my family! ]
In such an atmosphere, Li Ge and his group finally met up with the abbot who came to catch the cat.
"Just call me Abbot Mom!" The adoptive mother said with a firm look, "Don't be afraid, Dean! My whole family is here today! We will definitely be able to capture the abbot!"
Brother Li: "...I'm not afraid. If you could take your eyes off Doctor Du's face and say this to me, I would be even less afraid."
What does it mean to tell him not to be afraid while looking at Du Zhongsheng?
"Then...what if Doctor Du gets scared?" The abbot's mother hesitated.
Li Ge: "We are professionals, we are not afraid."
"Ouch...￥%*#%￥#$%W@" Before she could finish her words, a group of old men and women suddenly emerged from behind the abbot's mother, surrounded the three of them and started arguing with them.
"Hey, hey, hey, no!" The abbot's mother shouted, "None of these three! All three of them and I have pure revolutionary partnerships! They are just here to take pictures!"
"What are they talking about?" Bai Jinshu turned his head.
These people had such heavy dialect accents that they couldn't understand them at all.
"Oh, the uncles and aunties came up to ask who is the abbot's mother's boyfriend," Li Ge translated, "and said that you don't look like someone the abbot's mother would date, and Lao Lu doesn't look like a good person. I barely look okay, but they held me in their arms when I was a child, so forget it."
[I report that this is not what the uncles and aunts said.]
[What was the original sentence? Wait, you actually understood it? ]
[This dialect is very similar to the one in my hometown, so I can understand it a little bit. Those uncles and aunts are clearly saying that they have seen the young people on the island when they were young. They have seen it when Li Ge wet his bed, when he skipped school and was beaten from one side of the street to the other by his mother with a belt, and when his face was covered with snot.]
[Li Ge seems to have used language barriers to maintain his last dignity in front of Maomao Shengzi and Changfen. ]
[I feel a little sorry for him. ]
[Translator, please report back if you continue to explore! ]
"These are all from the TV station!" Seeing that her relatives were still talking about Li Ge's various dark histories when he was a child, the abbot's mother felt a little embarrassed and quickly emphasized, "They came here just to film us catching cats!"
"TV station?!" The old men and women became agitated and immediately threw the unlucky boy Li Ge aside. "We're going to be on TV?!"
"If we can catch the abbot... he will definitely be on TV!" The abbot's mother touched her nose guiltily and immediately became righteous.
It is true that you can go on TV. When the time comes, you can use your mobile phone to cast the screen onto the TV. Who says you can’t go on TV!
"Is this young man a photographer?" An old man looked at Lu Changfeng critically, "Why is the camera in your hand different from the one I saw on TV? Can it take clear pictures?"
"Those on TV are old models, this is a new model!" Li Ge followed up with a lie, "Uncle, look, mobile phones nowadays are much smaller than the bricks back then. With upgraded technology, they can definitely take clearer pictures than what you see on TV."
The old man mumbled a few words in dialect, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be still in doubt.
[Translator's quick report, the old man muttering about the rice noodle rolls is a photographer, Li Ge is a seven-year-old who wet his pants and still got into a TV station, so the cat next to him, Shengzi, must be a star. ]
[Our cat Saint is prettier than a star! ]
[The main reason is that the photographer kept taking pictures of this guy, so he must be a star.]
【It's so funny, nothing wrong with it.】
[The uncle and aunt said that they were going to be on TV. The aunt said that we should give them more local specialties and let them have more minutes on TV. The uncle said, "What do you know? We watched Wu Zhili grow up when he was a child. Why do you want money now?"
[Off topic, it turns out that Brother Li’s real name is Wu Zhili, which sounds pretty nice. ]
【I thought his given name was just Li. 】
[…Wouldn’t that make it a witch ritual…It’s irrational and too ugly to listen to.]
"Second uncle, second uncle," the abbot's mother grabbed the arm of one of the old men, "Can you feel where the abbot is now?"
"Let me feel it, wait a minute..." The second uncle counted with his fingers, "I think it should be over there."
"Over there..." Brother Li thought for a moment, "If we go down there, isn't that the old staff quarters of the government office? This area has changed so much that I don't recognize it anymore."
"It should be." The second abbot was confident.
"Really, Uncle Erda?" the abbot's mother asked quietly, "This is all being recorded. If you make a mistake in your calculation, the whole country will see it."
"That's definitely not wrong, niece! Trust me! Your grandfather listened to me when he caught the cat!" The second uncle of the abbot waved his hand, "This cat is definitely in the old family compound!"
"I've seen everything! I'm the best at finding cats on the entire island! You uncle, don't you believe me?" He walked to Bai Jinshu, the only person in the group who looked like a star, and started to rub Lu Changfeng's camera. "There's a large lawn, trees, and rockery over there in the old staff quarters. Your monk must be hiding in the rockery! We'll catch him if we go over there!"
"But the cat's name is Fangzhang..." Fangzhang's mother corrected him feebly, "I already said it's not a monk, it's not a monk. How can you name a cat a monk? That's so ugly."
"Isn't the name 'Abbot' ugly?" the old lady complained. "Your naming skills are terrible."
"Well, the abbot is not a monk," said the second abbot, "We will catch this cat and fill the gap of no monks on our island!"
If Guan Hongyan were here, she would have added: [That's great, Uncle Er, this celebrity-like guy next to you has appeared here to fill the gap that there is no evil cult on your island.]
When I saw Du Zhongsheng, I realized that you have it in your life.
The author has something to say:
Some gaps don’t have to be filled, that is to say…
