Chapter 3: Did you choose the wrong one? This cat doesn't need saving
“Nonsense! Quickly let go of Big Fat Raccoon Cat! Who told you that Big Fat Raccoon Cat is a stray cat?” The Guidance Director’s face darkened as he said, “Since Big Fat Raccoon Cat lives in the school, he is the school’s cat. He helps the school solve the rat problem, so the school will naturally take care of him.”
“Ah? Big Fat Raccoon Cat is being taken care of by the school?”
The three people were stunned upon hearing this. They had always thought Big Fat Raccoon Cat was a stray cat.
But the Guidance Director told them Big Fat Raccoon Cat was being taken care of by the school?
“Yes. Otherwise, how do you think these cats survive when you are on winter and summer vacations? Do you expect them to drink the northwest wind?” The Guidance Director said, walking towards the cage and opening it.
“Meow~ (It’s good that you’re here, Uncle! I knew there were still many good people in the world.)” Li Li, seeing the cage open, quickly jumped out. He rubbed against the Guidance Director’s trousers, showing his belly ingratiatingly.
If it weren’t for his timely appearance, he would have been abducted.
“It seems like Little Sister’s cat-napping plan has failed.”“Yeah, who would have thought the school was taking care of these stray cats?”
“That’s right. Look how friendly Big Fat Raccoon Cat is! He’s used to being fed by the school.”
The viewers couldn’t help but comment upon seeing this scene. Although the streamer Little Sister didn’t succeed in taking away Big Fat Raccoon Cat, they were still happy to know that he was being cared for.
“If you three have nothing else to do, leave early.” The Guidance Director, looking at Big Fat Raccoon Cat exposing his belly on the ground, spoke to Shan Shan and the other two.
“Yes.” The three nodded, looking at Li Li on the ground with reluctance before leaving.
Failure, what a complete failure. They didn’t expect to be stopped right when they were about to succeed.
“Come with me, you fat cat.” The Guidance Director whispered after seeing Shan Shan and the others leave. He walked towards a corner not far away.
Li Li saw him and quickly followed with small steps.
He knew this stern-looking, slightly dark-faced Uncle would bring him delicious food.
However, as the Guidance Director of the academy, he seemed a bit reserved, not wanting others to see his other side.
“This is good enough. How were you so careless today, fat cat? Don’t you usually run very fast? How could you let that little girl catch you?”
“If I hadn’t come quickly, you would have been taken away. I asked you to come home with me, but you refused. I don’t know why you like wandering so much, fat cat.” The Guidance Director, having arrived at the corner, spoke while tearing open a cat treat stick and educating Li Li, who had settled down.
He had tried to take this fat cat home before, but he would run away the next day. After a few back-and-forths, he gave up.
He decided to simply come and see him whenever he wanted.
Today, he happened to be free and came over, only to find this fat cat about to be taken away.
Knowing the character of this fat cat, he directly stopped the three, preventing him from being captured.
“Meow~ (Let me just say this first, this cat was careless and that’s why I was caught by them. Normally, I wouldn’t let them touch me even with both their legs!)” Li Li, hearing this, stopped licking the cat treat stick and meowed.
“Alright, just eat yours. I can’t understand what you’re saying anyway.” The Guidance Director, seeing this, reached out and scratched Li Li’s round head, saying, “I can’t stay here long, it wouldn’t be good if the students see me. The students these days have no respect, I have to act tough to scare them a bit.”
“Meow~ (It must be hard work for you, old man.)” Li Li, hearing this, replied indistinctly while eating.
Soon, a cat treat stick was licked clean. The Guidance Director squeezed the package and found it empty, saying, “I’ve finished the snacks I brought you, so find a tree and lie down here. Don’t run around, be careful not to get abducted again.”
“Meow~ (Don’t worry, this cat won’t fall for the same trick twice.)” Li Li replied. He was just careless just now, under normal circumstances, he would never have fallen for it.
“Quickly find a place to lie down, some students are coming. I have to go.” The Guidance Director said, noticing figures in the distance, and got up to leave.
“Meow~ (Goodbye, Uncle. See you tomorrow.)” Li Li raised his paw in response and then used both his paws and legs to climb up to a tree branch.
There were quite a few students returning to school these days, he couldn’t be targeted again.
“Ding! Comprehensive Network loading 100%, welcome player to join.” At this moment, the electronic voice in his head sounded again.
“Meow~ (Comprehensive Network? Player? No way, did this cat win the lottery?)”
Hearing these familiar terms from novels, Li Li felt his entire being go dizzy.
Was there a mistake? According to the typical novel trope, shouldn’t this kind of thing happen to his poor Litter Shovel Officer?
After all, he had just graduated from university, was hitting walls everywhere trying to find a job, and had been dumped by his girlfriend. He was the one who should be getting a system.
How did it end up on his head? He, a dignified kitty with food and shelter, and people delivering meals every day, didn’t seem like someone who needed to be rescued or saved.
“Ding! Detected player’s language as Beast Language, game is reloading language.”
“Dear player, hello! Please enter your game name.” While Li Li was lost in thought, the game proceeded to the next step.
“Meow~ (Li Li)” Li Li replied without hesitation.
“Okay, dear Li Li, welcome to the Comprehensive Network family. You can now choose from the following paths to improve your strength.”
“Cultivation path, you can become an incredibly powerful demon, and even achieve human form, but it requires a lot of time.”
“Beastman path, you don’t need that much time to cultivate, and you can have flexible limbs and a strong physique. However, this may limit your potential.”
“Technology path, become a cat with a maxed-out technology tree. All you need to do is use various technologies to make yourself stronger, of course, this must be achieved before your lifespan runs out.”
“Faith path, even a cat can have faith. You don’t need to cultivate or use your brain too much, just a large number of believers can give you terrifying power.”
“Superpower path, the possibilities of superpowers are diverse and full of uncertainty. You might soar to great heights, or you might achieve nothing. Please choose carefully, the superpower each creature can awaken is different.”
