The follow-up to the OE we are looking forward to (XVIII)
Jiang Yuanshi felt like he was dreaming, otherwise how could he hear such ridiculous words? He closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while. Z01 still looked serious.
A big question mark popped up on Mao Maolong's little head. He shook his head like a drill, then stood up and looked around. It seemed that he was in a new house, but... Jiang Yuanshi lowered his head to look at where he was standing. Why was it a cat's nest?
The cat's bed was also filled with gold coins and gems, no wonder he smelled so good when he fell asleep, but none of that was the most important thing at the moment, he asked Z01 what he had just said, and the other party calmly and seriously repeated his statement about not wanting to be a father and attached proof.
It was a photo, in which the cat Long was sleeping comfortably in the mouth of a Maine Coon cat, and there were real-life cases and analysis of big cats carrying small cats written next to it.
Seeing everything clearly, Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and said inexplicably calmly: "Is it possible that I am really sleepy and can fall asleep anywhere?"
Z01: "This possibility is very small. You are a very vigilant human being and you will not take a nap anywhere."
Jiang Yuanshi casually said, "You're right beside me." After a while of silence, he realized something was wrong and his tail froze. After hearing this, Z01 suddenly had a light bulb on his head and said, "So that's it."
Jiang Yuanshi: “…”
"But that doesn't mean you don't think of me as your father."
:)
Jiang Yuanshi smiled politely and said, "I told you there are no more, but you still don't believe me. Since you want to be my dad so much, then just be my dad. Take your flowers and get out. My dad never gives me flowers." As he said that, he opened his inventory in front of Z01 and pretended to throw the flowers out one by one.
“………………” Z01 raised the alarm and apologized, “I’m sorry, please don’t do this.”
The cat dragon's tail swung back and forth, and slapped the ground like a small whip. It looked... very elastic.
Jiang Yuanshi looked at Z01 speechlessly. Just as he was about to say something, he felt something wrong under his tail. Turning his head, he saw a cat's paw stretched out under his tail. Jiang Yuanshi: "."
He sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes. He always felt that the system had mutated. Jiang Yuanshi was flapping his tail with his cat's claws while staring at Z01 who was serious as if nothing had happened. How shameless... What kind of weird hobby was this?
Forget it, Jiang Yuanshi was too lazy to think about it. He couldn’t change it anyway, so he might as well go eat if he had some free time.
Cat Dragon stood on tiptoe and raised his paw to pull the fur on the big cat's chest, saying, "By the way, is this a new house? Where's the bed? Why is it a cat bed?"
In order to make it easier for Jiang Yuanshi to take action, Z01 stood more dignified, puffed out his chest and answered: "Since we were all in cat form when we registered, it was assumed to be cat-only when we bought the house."
Jiang Yuanshi raised his head and looked around: "Is that person no longer useful?"
"You can transform once you have a human form, but it seems that you can't do that now. Most supplies are for cats only, except for the kitchen and bathroom."
Jiang Yuanshi stepped on the cat bed at his feet: "This basin is so small, where will you sleep if I sleep here?"
"With you."
"?" Are you sure? It's going to be so crowded.
Z01 blinked and looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Yuanyuan, lower your head."
Jiang Yuanshi tilted his head in confusion but subconsciously lowered his head to expose the back of his neck. Then he flew into the air like a dragon and felt a slight pain in the back of his neck. He didn't know how Z01 did it. Jiang Yuanshi only felt his vision turning around and around, and when he reacted, he was already trapped in it.
The Maine Coon cats were circled, and in the hollow center lay a cat-dragon with a question mark on it. The cat-dragon was lying on its back with its belly facing outwards, and a big furry tail covered its belly, as if it was sleeping in a soft and solid nest. Feeling the warmth, Jiang Yuanshi, who had just woken up, couldn't help but yawn.
"You can take a nap if you're sleepy. When you wake up, we can go out for adventure." Z01's voice came from his ear. It was very close. Jiang Yuanshi leaned sideways and his nose was touching his nose. The two looked at each other. Finally, Mao Maolong closed his eyes quietly and said, "Okay then, good night Z01."
"Goodnight Wishes."
After sleeping till the next day, Jiang Yuanshi looked at the time and felt that he was not a dragon but a pig. He pinched his belly and it was round, just like a pig.
"You are currently limited to being a guinea pig."
"Do you know that most guinea pigs in reality will become large pigs for breeding?" Cat Dragon took a bite of the big cat's ear, curled his lips, and said with some worry, "If I eat like this, I won't become fat when I turn back into a human, right?"
Although Jiang Yuanshi is a lazy guy, he envied others for having abdominal muscles when he was a student, so he forced himself to exercise and after he developed the body shape, he vowed to preserve it. He had to keep the body shape that he had worked so hard to develop, but abdominal muscles sometimes require some effort to appear, and once you gain weight, you can't suck your belly back in.
After listening to Jiang Yuan's concerns, Z01, who was worried and wanted to say that the other party was not fat at all and had a thin body shape, fell silent. It turned out that the host didn't care about fat or thin, but the abdominal muscles he had trained hard, and the achievement with conditional restrictions that he had achieved with great difficulty. It would be a pity to throw it away.
Everything about Jiang Yuanshi could be explained by games. Z01 silently noted it and said, "Don't worry, you are now the transformed image of your soul body, and you will not change."
After saying that, Jiang Yuanshi was stunned and calmed down, and said happily: "Yes, I'm dead, so does this mean that I can eat whatever I want and won't get fat?"
“…Yes.” said Z01.
"That's great." Jiang Yuanshi was very happy, but he felt something was wrong. "Then why am I still sleepy and hungry? Is it because of the settings in the game?"
Z01: "Yes. Besides, it may be your human instinct to go to bed at a certain time."
Jiang Yuanshi suddenly realized and thought: "My biological clock has been messed up recently. I have been doing nothing but eating and sleeping."
Well, that does sound more like a pig, Z01 thought.
"Oh, this is for today." The cat-like dragon nestled in Z01's furry body received a bunch of flowers from the cat's tail. This time, the aesthetics were very normal. The pink and white flowers were shaped like a cat's head. If you touched them lightly, they would meow. They looked so familiar. Jiang Yuanshi held the flowers in his paws, raised them high, and said, "Isn't this a meow flower?"
Z01: "Yes, but don't worry, the flower core has been removed and will not spread pollen."
Jiang Yuanshi waved the flowers and listened to the meows, replying, "It doesn't matter. It only lasts for three days. You'll just get a pair of ears when you turn into a cat, and you're furry and easy to sleep with."
Z01: "Really? Do you need pollen?"
Jiang Yuanshi refused: "There's no need to be so deliberate. I don't want to sneeze."
There were constant meowing sounds in the room. The cat dragon turned out from its gentle nest, holding the flowers in one hand and taking out a flowerpot from its backpack with the other hand. He put the flowers in the pot, sprinkled fertilizer on it, flapped its wings, and flew up, placing it on a table not far away.
It turned out that the flowerpot was brought by Jiang Yuanshi himself.
Z01, who witnessed all this, just followed silently. When Jiang Yuanshi adjusted the position of the flower pot, he said, "Aren't you going to put it in your bag?"
Jiang Yuanshi fiddled with Meow Meow Flower and answered naturally. Since he had already been exposed, he simply said indifferently: "Because there is no room for it, I'll just leave it here. I'll talk about it before you take it away. By the way, can my backpack be expanded?"
Z01, who was sitting at the side, replied: "This depends on your tolerance. Your health is insufficient at this stage, so it is not recommended to expand it."
Jiang Yuanshi understood: "Oh, then can I just eat more?"
Z01: "As for the current situation, it is better to cooperate with exercise."
"Hmm...Is that so? Okay, then does my recent walking count as exercise?" Jiang Yuanshi, who used to hardly touch the ground, chose to go down to the ground in order to expand his backpack. This made Z01 sound the alarm again. If this happened, the probability of the host and him getting close to each other would be smaller.
"Maybe I can make a mod for you so that you don't need exercise."
Jiang Yuanshi was stunned, and turned to look at Z01: "You don't need to do that, do you? Aren't you sleeping in the same basin?"
Z01 analyzed seriously, "No, this is very serious. After all, this is only allowed in this world. During missions in other worlds, I cannot do this to the body you are hosting. That is the original owner's body, not you."
Jiang Yuanshi said "uh", but Z01 looked very serious. He scratched his chin, turned his head and sighed, compromising: "I know, whatever you want, but please do it as soon as possible."
Z01 who got the permission said: “Okay, I understand. Thank you.”
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at Maine's tail swinging behind him and said nothing.
But there is still a problem. Due to Z01's current size, Jiang Yuanshi cannot sit firmly on him, and finally he has to get off the ground and walk for a distance. But in order to avoid accidental separation of the two, Z01 came up with a plan that Jiang Yuanshi would not believe even at his age.
The cats in Maomi Town are free and cannot be tied up unless they are willing or have a high enough favorability. Voluntary cats are extremely rare. So when a cat dragon walks on the road with a rope tied in his hand and a huge Maine Coon cat beside him, the rate of turning heads is as high as 100%. There are even NPC cats who run up to Z01 and scold him for being spineless and being angry at him for not fighting for being the pet of such a small monster.
Z01 stood calmly and elegantly, looking down at the kitten, and said calmly: "People with different ideologies cannot work together."
NPC Lihua shouted angrily: "What do you mean!"
Z01: "It's nothing. I have a master to hold my hand, but you don't."
After saying that, he followed the clacking-footed cat, Long, and walked away, leaving the confused Lihua standing there in a daze, doubting his cat life.
It's so weird.
Jiang Yuanshi raised his hand and looked at the rope tied to his claws. It was so strange... As a model young man when he was alive, he had never had such an experience. It was so strange. Was it right?
Question marks kept popping up on the cat's dragon head, but all the doubts were dispelled by Z01's sincere and lost eyes, causing Jiang Yuanshi to have a mentality of "although I understand that this is not right, but Z01 looks so pitiful, and no one knows him anyway, so it's not impossible, but it's weird."
In this way, the two of them strolled for a whole day under the watchful eyes. Jiang Yuanshi was already numb, and even when he was tired, he directly asked Z01 to hold his neck and walk around. However, this behavior became a spectacle in the eyes of the NPCs.
Who is the master here?
In this way, they left a strong mark in Maomi Town. By the time they realized that their behavior was conspicuous, it was too late.
They both fell silent as they looked at the tens of thousands of comments and multi-angle photos on the reality discussion post.
Z01 silently raised his paw and pressed the save button on the photo of Xiaolong. Jiang Yuanshi on the side was speechless, but the situation was already a mess, so he might as well drink it.
He turned around and went back to planting flowers.
Today's ones haven't been planted in pots yet.
