Ragdoll Cat Blind Date: Hair Loss Means Bankruptcy
Under the cherry tree in the campus garden, Xiaodou stared at the ragdoll cat Snowball in front of him, his tail curled into a question mark with nervousness - this was the blind date matched by the AI matchmaker, with fur as white as marshmallow, a diamond collar around his neck, and was looking him up and down with his sapphire eyes.
"Are you the Lucky Mouse?" Snowball swung his tail. "Why is your tail so sparse?"
Xiaodou subconsciously covered his tail and said, "Yesterday... yesterday I shed my hair and exchanged it for gold coins to save my classmates!"
"Hair shedder." Snowball wiped her paws with a wet wipe. "The partner I'm looking for must have smooth fur, know how to use the litter box, and most importantly—" she glanced at White Abyss, "someone who can get the owner to buy me the latest bow."
[The three soul personalities’ blind date assistance]
Bai Shenyuan squatted beside him, and the three personalities took turns to fight:
- Ling Yuan personality (handing the canned food with a cold face): "This is frozen dried fish imported from StarCraft."
- Bai Yan's personality (gentle smile): "Ms. Snowball, I roasted some chestnuts with fox fire. Would you like to try some?"
- Lin Shen's personality (pushing glasses): "I invented the 'Nano-level Hair Repair Spray' that can increase the glossiness of your hair by 300%."
Snowball's ears twitched, but when Xiaodou approached, his fur suddenly exploded: "You smell like another cat!"
Xiaodou was stunned, then remembered that the mechanical cat (disguised as the Heavenly Supervisor) had grabbed his tail that morning. Bai Shenyuan switched to Bai Yan's personality, condensing fox fire on his fingertips, and conjured a cherry blossom in front of Snowball. "That's a misunderstanding. Miss Snowball is so beautiful, why would she care about a mouse's past?"
"That's enough!" Xiaodou puffed out his chest. "I'll prove to you that I can really attract wealth!"
He closed his eyes and concentrated on gnawing at the roots of the cherry tree—this was the Lucky Rat's "Coin Summoning" skill; the harder he gnawed, the more coins he generated. But the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his tail, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the ground covered in gold coins and a few bloody hairs.
"Your hair!" Bai Shenyuan (Lin Shen's personality) exclaimed, "Excessive consumption of spiritual energy will damage the hair follicles!"
Snowball took a half step back in disgust: "It really is a hair-shedding monster. What I'm looking for is——"
"It's the mouse that can provide lunch for all the students in the school." Xiaodou interrupted her, pushing a pile of gold coins with his claws. "Use this money to add some meat dishes to the cafeteria."
The moment the gold coins were delivered to the cafeteria, the Lucky Rat's spending spree spiraled out of control. Students from across the school suddenly flocked to the supermarket. Some bought 100 bags of potato chips, others stockpiled a year's supply of food for their pet hamsters, and even the dean of students passed by the garden carrying a box of strawberry-flavored facial cleanser.
"What's going on?" Snowball widened his eyes.
"It's Xiaodou's ability." Bai Shenyuan switched to Lingyuan's personality and coldly grabbed Xiaodou, who was almost swept away by the crowd. "But he lost control."
Xiaodou looked at his almost bald tail and choked up, "I just want to help everyone..."
"Idiot." Bai Shenyuan switched back to Bai Yan's personality and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "You have helped a long time ago - look over there."
Lin Shenren had set up a stall at some point, with a sign that read: "Currency Recycling: One piece of fluff = 10 yuan, exchangeable for snacks, stationery, or an autographed photo of Xiaodou." Poor students lined up to trade their fur for books, their faces beaming with smiles. Xiaodou's tail, though still bald, glowed warmly in the sunlight.
"It turns out my fur is so useful!" Xiaodou's eyes lit up.
Snowball suddenly came over and wiped his tail with a wet wipe. "You shed hair, clean it up before you can be my temporary boyfriend. Anyway, the AI matchmaker said that completing one date counts as your KPI."
Before Xiaodou could reply, a cry of surprise came from the direction of the supermarket: "The shelves are empty! The vending machines have been chewed through!"
The Dean of Education appeared in the crowd, holding a sample of Azuki's fur in his hand. A fierce look flashed through the reflection of his glasses. "It really matches the genes of the Concept Rat Clan... RoboCat is right. If I can catch this mouse, I can become the new Guardian of Heaven."
Bai Shenyuan noticed the director's gaze and quickly covered Xiaodou with his coat. Meanwhile, the supermarket surveillance footage was uploaded online, and #Mouse that Drops Gold Coins# instantly became the top trending search. A large number of suspicious accounts appeared in the comment section, leaving messages such as:
"The Rat Extermination Alliance has located the target."
"The blood of the Concept Rat can grant me immortality."
"Where are the Guardians? We need a sacrifice."
Snowball suddenly became furious and pointed at the cherry trees in the distance: "There's a strange smell! Like... like the natural enemy of the Concept Rat!"
Xiaodou looked up and saw the shadows on the cherry trees coalesce into a giant tapir face. It was the dream-eating tapir from the scene three thousand years ago. The tip of the tapir's nose was facing the remaining fluff on his tail—that was the key to unlocking the seal.
Bai Shenyuan took out the ring fragment, but at this moment the fragment cracked, revealing a holographic image inside: a mechanical cat was standing in the basement of the bakery, using a scalpel to cut open a totem mural, and what flowed out of the mural was not blood, but Xiaodou's fluff.
"Oh no," Lin Shen pushed up his glasses. "The robot cat wants to use Xiaodou's fur to revive the dream-eating tapir!"
Xiaodou tugged at Bai Shenyuan's sleeve, feeling his Lucky Rat form fading—a sign of a rift in space and time. He looked at Snowball and his classmates, and suddenly remembered what Bai Yan had said in the demon world: "Love and bond are the most powerful forces."
"White Abyss," he said softly, "Next time I go on a blind date, I want to go somewhere where there's no risk of hair loss."
Bai Shenyuan chuckled, switching to a mixed voice of his three personalities: "Next time? After we deal with the dream-eating tapir, I will take you to the interstellar space to eat marshmallow cakes that will never shed hair - I guarantee it with the power of my three souls."
