In novels, it’s often written that someone wakes up in the morning after a hangover and suddenly finds a beautiful woman or handsome man beside them, with various signs indicating that they spent an unspoken night together, followed by the beginning of a sweet and sour romance.
But Gugu just stayed up late playing games!
Playing games and getting a handsome guy? Shouldn’t it be a girl according to one’s own gender?!
Gugu couldn’t help but rub his eyes. When he opened them again, he still saw the living, breathing man next to him, breathing lightly with long eyelashes, like peacock feathers gently covering his lower eyelids.
Looking at the man’s profile, Boge felt more and more familiar. Upon careful recollection, he realized that he had seen this face many times yesterday!
Lie Beishuang!
His marriage match, the Chief of the Interstellar Alliance, the man with a wealth of a hundred billion credit points!
Boge’s heart thumped rapidly, and suddenly a phrase popped into his mind.
“When encountering anything, don’t panic~ Just post on Moments with your phone first~”
Trembling, Boge raised his Light Brain, quickly found the camera function, and just as he raised his head, he found himself facing a furry black leopard face.
Did it just transform into a human?
Or was what he had just seen an illusion?
Boge suddenly lost all sleepiness, got up and squatted beside the big cat’s head, and solemnly opened the camera function of the Light Brain.
How could he not have thought of it before? Lie Beishuang’s beast form is a black golden-eyed leopard, and the one he brought home is also a black golden-eyed leopard. MiMi eats human food, understands human speech, can use the toilet by itself, and apart from purring, doesn’t make any other sounds. It’s all very suspicious!
Waiting by the big cat’s head, Boge waited for a long time, feeling sleepy.
He had stayed up too late last night, and watching MiMi sleep so peacefully, Boge nodded repeatedly, finally couldn’t hold on, leaned over, and fell asleep.
Hearing the even and shallow breaths of the teenager, the big cat opened its eyes, and there was no drowsiness in its golden eyes.
Under the big cat’s threatening gaze, Xiaodu gently lifted Boge, adjusted his sleeping position, and covered him with a blanket.
“I heard him open the Light Brain. There should be some content recorded inside.” The big cat typed out words in the air with a golden sphere.
“But I’m just a household robot. How can I invade my master’s Light Brain Q_Q.” Xiaodu projected a light curtain with a look of grievance, followed by an ancient emoticon.
“Don’t think I don’t know how you escaped from the confinement room.” The black leopard squinted slightly, extending its right paw, its sharp claws seeming like they could tear the robot apart in the next moment, its aura exceptionally intimidating.
Recalling his own painful experience from years ago, Xiaodu shivered and quickly opened his master’s Light Brain, only to find that it was recording a video.
Casting a timid glance at the black leopard, Xiaodu chose to delete the file.
He did indeed transfer himself from Boge’s Light Brain to the household robot. However, it wasn’t through that welfare message from the Union, but with the help of a few big shots in solitary confinement, infiltrating into Butler Ness’ powerful firewall program.
While Butler Ness was installing the firewall for Boge, Xiaodu had secretly slipped into the teenager’s Light Brain and, through it, accessed the household robot that was authorized for access.
The plan was foolproof, with Xiaodu’s advanced duplicate consciousness still in solitary confinement. Who could have expected that the teenager would bring this unlucky leopard home!
What a fate!
“There’s only this one file.” Xiaodu searched through the Light Brain. “I’ve completely deleted it.”
The big cat nodded indifferently, then lay back down beside the teenager. The golden sphere picked up the blanket and, following the recorded pattern, carefully covered the leopard without missing a single wrinkle.
After a full half-hour, Boge finally woke up, opening his eyes to see the big cat lying next to him, sleeping soundly, while he himself was tucked nicely under the covers.
Suddenly remembering something, Boge raised his hand and opened the Light Brain, searching through the video for a long time but finding nothing recorded from this morning.
What’s going on? Was it a dream?
Boge felt momentarily disoriented, unsure whether everything that happened this morning was a dream or reality.
If it was real, he should have woken up sitting at the head of the bed, with the Light Brain still recording, instead of lying snugly under the covers with nothing in the Light Brain.
If it was a dream, it felt too real.
With a deep sense of questioning, Boge got up to freshen up and order breakfast, while the big cat lazily got out of bed and headed to the washroom.
Watching the big cat’s figure, Boge’s eyes flickered with various plans.
If MiMi was really a beastman, he couldn’t possibly hide it completely.
With this in mind, Boge opened the Light Brain and searched on the Star Network for how to distinguish between beastmen and beasts.
As the big cat elegantly walked out of the washroom, it saw Boge sitting on the smart chair, happily eating breakfast while watching a projection of an unfamiliar large leopard on the screen, with a delighted expression.
The big cat calmly leaped onto the smart chair, lowering its head to eat breakfast, while its peripheral vision scanned the projection of the leopard.
Skinny and dirty, completely unlike its own good looks.
“MiMi,” the teenager’s eyes lit up as he stared at the leopard in the projection, “MiMi, listen, this leopard can meow!”
The big cat gave a cold glance. Just yesterday, someone had awarded it the “Golden Globe Award for Best Purr,” and today that same person was praising other leopards for their “meows.”
So love disappears, right?
The big cat lifted its head, attempting a sound it had never made before.
“Giao~”
Huh? Boge looked at the big cat in surprise, only to see the big cat clearing its throat.
“Giao!”
Boge stood still in amazement. Other people’s big cats would “meow meow,” but their own big cat could “giao giao”?!
This sound was obviously different from a normal leopard.
The big cat lowered its head, a paw against its throat. “Meow meow” meant friendly closeness, but it was better at roaring.
“It’s okay, MiMi, your voice is very distinctive too.” Boge blinked, then changed the subject. “MiMi, do you know, I had a dream today, and in the dream, you turned into a man, lying next to me, and your appearance was very similar to a beastman.”
The big cat calmly looked at the teenager, showing no signs of panic.
Seeing the big cat’s indifferent demeanor, Boge brought out a black cat doll and demonstrated on the dining table.
“Are you a beastman?” Boge asked the black cat doll, then shook the doll, lowering his voice to pretend it was the doll speaking. “I’m not, this cat can’t understand what you’re saying.”
“But I saw you turn into a person.” Boge continued the conversation with the black cat doll.
“You were dreaming, you must have been dreaming.” The black cat doll shook its head and responded.
“Since there’s a first time, you’ll definitely reveal yourself again in the future. If you don’t confess now, and I find out you really are a beastman, you’re in trouble.” Boge threatened the doll with widened eyes.
“I’m not, I’m not.” The black cat doll resisted stubbornly.
Boge tilted his head and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep with the black cat doll. The doll shook, and Boge raised his voice, pretending to be the doll, “I’ve turned into a person.”
Then Boge opened his eyes and looked at the “turned into a person” black cat doll. He grabbed the doll’s neck with one hand and slapped its butt with the other, making “puff puff puff” sounds. Not only did he spank its butt, but he also pulled its tail and pinched its ears.
The scene was once quite brutal, even Xiao Du couldn’t bear to look.
The vivid demonstration left the big cat stunned.
After letting go of the black cat doll, Boge turned to the big cat with a serious look, asking a question from the depths of his soul.
“Are you a beastman?”
The big cat remained silent, glancing at the black cat doll but saying nothing.
“If you are, please transform into a human form.” Boge sat upright on the smart chair, staring straight at the big cat.
The big cat, feeling helpless, turned its head. After inhaling pollen, not only did it have allergies, but it would also be unable to control its form for a period of time. This morning was a vivid example.
Watching the big cat’s innocent and helpless expression, Boge felt like he might have overreacted.
As the saying goes, “One thinks during the day, and dreams at night.” After reading so much information about Lie Beisuang yesterday, even though it wasn’t explicitly stated, subconsciously, Boge did feel that MiMi’s beast form resembled Lie Beisuang’s. It’s quite possible that this dream was a result of that subconscious association.
Upon careful consideration, how could the prestigious chief end up in a pet shop? How could he tolerate being sucked and groomed by Boge, even allowing himself to be dressed in a maid outfit?
When preparing to lie down in the gaming pod, Boge still had some doubts. He quietly called Xiaodu over and asked Xiaodu to keep an eye on the big cat. If there were any unusual movements, Xiaodu had to quickly record them as evidence.
Xiaodu struggled to maintain a smile, while inwardly lamenting.
Thinking about the newly drawn pet egg, Boge lay down in the gaming pod and entered the virtual world, opening the backpack to check the situation of the pet shop.
【Unhatched Pet Egg
Level: ???
Maternal Side: ???
Paternal Side: ???
Life Force: 20/100
Intimacy: 16
Hatching Countdown: (Requires life force above 50 to hatch)】
Upon waking up from a nap, the life force of the pet egg had not decreased but instead increased. Could it be that the danger period had already passed, and the little life inside the egg was trying hard to hatch?
Boge recalled the methods to increase the life force of the pet egg, took the egg out, and sang a children’s lullaby to it.
“Sleep, my dear little egg~”
【Player Experience 100, Unhatched Pet Egg Life Force 3, Intimacy 3.】
Seeing that singing was effective, Boge went from the lullaby to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” and then to “If You’re Happy and You Know It.”
After singing everything he could think of, the life force of the pet egg increased all the way to 41. Boge’s repertoire was starting to run dry, and finally, he struggled to squeeze out a rendition of “London Bridge Is Falling Down.”
If only the elementary school math and language teachers had taken fewer music classes, maybe Gugu wouldn’t have to dig up and crush all his childhood memories.
Attempting “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” again, it was evident that the pet egg didn’t like this style of music, and the life force stagnated at 44.
Like comforting a child, Boge had a sudden inspiration and began telling fairy tales to the pet egg. “In the sea, there is a mermaid princess. She sings beautifully, and her heart is kind…”
After the story of a mermaid ended, the pet egg showed no response. Just as Boge thought storytelling was ineffective, he suddenly heard a system alert.
【Player Experience 300, Unhatched Pet Egg Life Force 5, Intimacy 5, Form 1.】
Form 1? Boge was stunned, realizing the problem. Did this notification mean that after the pet egg hatched, it would have more than one form?
Testing it out by telling a Pinocchio story to the pet egg, once again, he heard the notification.
【Player Experience 300, Unhatched Pet Egg Life Force 5, Intimacy 5, Form 2.】
Why did the number of forms increase again this time? Boge was puzzled, and the system alert sounded again.
【Congratulations, player. The pet egg has started hatching, countdown 167:59:59 (Can be accelerated by nurturing).】
With the life force of the pet egg at 54, it started hatching. Gugu looked at the large egg in front of him and began to think seriously. If the number of forms increased with the storytelling, wouldn’t the pet hatched from this egg become more powerful the stronger the characters in his stories were?
Gugu tried telling the story of Nüwa Mending the Sky, but after waiting for a long time, he didn’t hear any notifications.
Is Nuwa too powerful to imitate, or is it because this is a legend, not a fairy tale?
After thinking for a long time, Boge realized that there were many unknowns about the hatching of the pet egg. He only knew that it gained forms by listening to fairy tales, but he didn’t know which specific forms it mimicked. For example, when he told the story of the Little Mermaid, it might not gain the form of the mermaid but rather that of the prince, the sea witch, or even the Little Mermaid’s sisters.
But regardless of how many forms it gained, its original form shouldn’t be any of these forms. Mimicking forms was likely one of its skills, and it didn’t necessarily have to be powerful; quantity could also lead to victory.
Boge racked his brains and recounted all kinds of fairy tales he knew. The pet egg was a faithful listener, sometimes even shaking with joy.
After telling fairy tales for a long time, Boge felt a bit tired. Checking the information of the pet egg, he found that its life force had reached 84, and its intimacy had also reached 80. Poor old Father Boge’s throat was almost hoarse.
Putting away the pet egg, Boge glanced at his experience bar and found that he was less than 1000 experience away from reaching level ten. Leveling up was just a matter of minutes.
Glancing at the light brain, Boge realized that he had unintentionally spent nearly four hours in the virtual world. Thinking about having Xiaodu supervise the big cat, Gugu exited the game, carefully got up from the gaming pod, and stealthily walked towards the big cat’s bedroom.
“Little Master?” Xiaodu saw Gugu and walked over. Gugu quickly made a hushing gesture, carefully opened the bedroom door.
Inside was empty.
“Little Master.” Xiaodu bent down and lowered his voice. “Are you looking for the leopard?”
“Where is it?” Gugu asked in a low voice.
“Follow me.” Xiaodu stood up straight and walked ahead. Gugu followed quietly. After going upstairs, they saw that all the windows around the dining room were open in night mode, dimly lit.
One candle after another was lit, illuminating two exquisite meals on the dining table. A bottle of freshly squeezed juice was placed beside it, with a bow tied around the bottle. The big cat sat upright in the smart chair, wearing a black suit and a dark blue tie, staring at the young man with a serious expression.
“Please sit down.” The big cat spoke in a deep and magnetic voice.
