On a peaceful morning, a bald parrot sat by the window, leisurely enjoying berry juice. The sunshine was bright and inviting, birdsong filled the air, everything was so beautiful.
“Minister!” a pure white cat suddenly barged in from outside. The overly polished floor caused the white cat to slip and tumble by the window, unexpectedly doing a split.
“Hush.”
The bald parrot raised its wings, with only a few feathers left, gesturing towards its beak.
“Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?” The white cat, legs together, stood by the window without even having time to groom its fur.
“Old Spot Leopard is on vacation, a seven-day vacation, this is the third day, I still have four days of pleasant time to spend. No need to worry about Old Spot Leopard damaging public property, no need to endure his stinky face, I’ve grown a new feather, even the birds outside the window are happy for me,” the bald parrot sighed contentedly, “life is beautiful.”
“Uh…” The white cat suddenly hesitated to speak.
“What’s wrong?” The bald parrot smiled and turned its head, holding a cup of berry juice. “You were in such a hurry just now, what happened?”
“Minister, come down from the windowsill first.” The white cat hooked its claws. “Come down first, and I’ll tell you.”
The bald parrot’s face immediately darkened.
“Is that Old Spot Leopard coming back before finishing his vacation?”
“No.” The white cat shook its head.
“That’s good, as long as it’s not Old Spot Leopard coming back, anything is fine.”
Seeing the parrot evacuating the danger zone, the white cat moved quickly, jumped onto the windowsill, closed the window tightly, and locked it securely.
“There are several pieces of news.” The white cat took a deep breath. “First, the exploration team in the NGC 7331 galaxy discovered a very resource-rich new planet. Due to the magnetic field of the new planet, they sent the message last night according to the Abel main star time, and we received it today.”
“New planet? Intelligent life?” The parrot, contemplating, took a sip of berry juice. “That’s good news. Why did you close the window?”
“No intelligent life discovered for now. And the second piece of news, the exploration team transmitted the data of the new planet. After receiving the data, the Patrol Team immediately updated the star chart and simulated the planet, but the main consciousness had no response.”
“This… let the Chief Inspector handle it, right? It’s not to the extent of suspending Old Spot Leopard’s vacation and calling him back.” The bald parrot began to feel guilty.
“Last piece of news.” The white cat took a deep breath. “The Chief Inspector also failed to get a response from the main consciousness, and some NPCs are exhibiting strange behavior. There’s even an NPC who fled the post and can’t be found. The Chief Inspector sensed that the situation was serious and has already reported it to the Chief Lord, requesting the Chief Lord to suspend his vacation.”
The white cat finished all the news in one breath, and the bald parrot stared at the cat quietly. The tips of its wings trembled slightly, the cup of berry juice slipped, bounced twice on the ground, and spilled out the bright red juice.
It was like the parrot was trying to spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Discovering a new planet happens about once every three years, and the last time NPCs exhibited abnormal behavior was eighteen years ago. Why did so many problems arise when Old Spot Leopard went on vacation?
Why can’t I just peacefully grow a few new feathers?!
In the midst of utter despair, the bald parrot’s neck projected a holographic meeting notification from its light brain. The meeting was scheduled to start in fifteen minutes, chaired by the Chief, and the list of attendees prominently included the “Minister of Finance.”
“I’m dead.”
The white cat watched as the bald parrot collapsed backwards, revealing its belly covered with white fine feathers, its paws curled up, its head tilted, motionless, and completely stiff.
Feigning death couldn’t evade the problem. Fifteen minutes later, the meeting began as usual. All eighteen ministers of the Alliance were present, with two parliamentarians observing. The bald parrot discreetly applied a beauty filter to its holographic projection and glanced at the holographic projection of Old Spot Leopard.
Whether it was an illusion or not, although Old Spot Leopard still had a scowl on his face, the bald parrot couldn’t help but feel that something was different about him.
The white cat gently nudged the absent-minded bald parrot, who snapped back to attention, only to hear the Chief Inspector responding to the issue with a resolute voice.
“As for the situation of NPC escape, it occurred once eighteen years ago. The missing NPC was the Elf Prince, who guards the sacred tree in the high-difficulty storyline dungeon. We have previously questioned and investigated the NPCs around the Elf Prince, as well as the players who last interacted with this NPC, but found no anomalies.
I have already sent all the data and detailed information to everyone.”
The bald parrot lowered its head to look at the data sent by the Inspector and couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s so strange. The last place this NPC appeared was next to the sacred tree. Places like the sacred spring and the wishing pool near the sacred tree have mystical significance and are places where the main consciousness often goes. If the NPC wanted to escape, they should have gone far away from the sacred tree, it’s impossible for them to leave so brazenly under the nose of the main consciousness.”
“The situation mentioned by Minister Parrot was also considered by the Inspectorate at the time, and after a lengthy study, we reached a conclusion,” the Inspector’s brow furrowed, “The escape of this NPC is highly likely to have been tacitly approved by the main consciousness, although this conclusion has not been confirmed, but there is a high probability.
The Inspectorate reported this matter to the former Chief, but the former Chief decided not to pursue it and instructed the Inspectorate to replicate another Elf Prince. In the end, this matter was left unresolved.”
“We thought this matter had ended, but unexpectedly, eighteen years later, the same thing happened again. The high authenticity of the myriad has allowed many NPCs to awaken their self-awareness. According to last year’s statistics, NPCs with awakened self-awareness have accounted for 67.1% of the total. If one or two escape today, we can replicate them, but if these 67.1% of NPCs are all out of control, what should we do?
Furthermore, will NPCs simulate player consciousness and escape to the real world, disrupting the order of reality? So…”
The Inspector looked at the man sitting in the main seat, his gaze firm, “Please negotiate with the main consciousness, bring back the escaped NPCs, and strengthen management. The previous Chief left this matter unresolved, causing another accident, and we cannot sit idly by and allow the situation to develop. My report is finished.”
Lie Beishuang’s face was solemn, and the next report came from the Interstellar Resources Department.
“The exploration team in the NGC7331 galaxy has discovered a new planet with abundant resources and no signs of intelligent life… But all of this is not important now.”
The Minister of Interstellar Resources took a deep breath. “What’s important is that, after comparison, we have found that various basic data of this planet are very similar to our ancestral planet Earth!”
“What!” The bald parrot almost jumped up from the intelligent chair.
Realizing his loss of composure, the bald parrot quickly covered up, but found that others were just as shocked by the news.
“A thousand years ago, human ancestors discovered that NGC7331 is very similar in size and structure to the Milky Way galaxy, even calling the NGC7331 galaxy the ‘twin of the Milky Way.’
However, due to the great distance of NGC7331 from the Milky Way, a staggering 40 million light-years, and the relatively backward technology at the time, humans did not venture into this galaxy.”
“But now, the exploration team has discovered this planet that is very similar to our ancestral planet, and it has also experienced the catastrophe brought by the central star a thousand years ago. Does this mean that we can simulate the current environment of our ancestral planet through this planet? Does this mean that our ‘Return to Ancestral Planet’ plan, which we have been preparing since the establishment of the alliance, can truly begin?”
The weight of this news was too heavy, involving too much. Everyone fell into silence, and Lie Beishuang pondered for a long time before speaking slowly.
“If this planet has experienced a similar history to our ancestral planet, then it should currently be in a period of recovery or germination.
Whether it’s a period of recovery or germination, the ecological environment of the planet is very fragile, and even slight external interference could lead to the extinction of a future race.
Returning to the ancestral planet is undoubtedly important, but we cannot destroy the ecological balance of other planets for the sake of returning to the ancestral planet.
However, at the same time, we cannot rule out other possibilities, such as the strong recovery ability of this planet, and the current ecological environment may already be in a mature stage suitable for exploration.
Therefore, I request that you organize a professional team to assess the situation of this planet without interfering with its ecology. With an accurate assessment result, we can proceed with the next steps according to the plan to return.”
The Minister of Interstellar Resources nodded, “I agree with your idea. I will organize a team within ten days. There is another question, Chief. Should we make this matter public to the citizens?”
Everyone looked quietly at Lie Beishuang, waiting for a decision, but they didn’t hear the man speak for a long time.
Lie Beishuang looked focused in front of him, as if he was distracted by something.
Next, the bald parrot heard an extremely familiar sound—the sound of a perception board worth over ten thousand credits shattering.
Even without looking, the parrot could tell that this time the perception board shattered more severely than the previous times.
No one provoked you at all, so what’s the reason for this?! If you need to vent energy, go find someone to spar within the arena. Why do you have a problem with the perception board!
The bald-headed parrot felt so sad that tears were about to flow. Other ministers cast sympathetic glances at the parrot.
“Chief?” The Minister of Interstellar Resources expressed confusion.
Lie Beishuang snapped out of his thoughts, “Don’t announce it for now. Wait for the professional assessment results to come out, then release the information to the citizens.”
The hour-long meeting concluded, and the scepter once again displayed the photo from the informant Xiaodu, accompanied by a small caption.
“Your human… is watching cat videos.”
“Save it.” Lie Beishuang almost immediately stood up, striding toward the office door, eager to see his human.
“Boss, I’m here to replace the perception board.” The black-uniformed man holding the perception board met Lie Beishuang at the door.
“Boss, where are you going?” The man with the perception board happened to block Lie beishuang’s path.
“The Chief is still on vacation.” The scepter hovered in mid-air, “There’s an urgent matter.”
“Urgent matter?” The man looked puzzled, still wanting to say something. However, Lie Beishuang decisively snapped the brand-new perception board in his hands, leaving himself a hasty figure.
—
After finishing the details of the leopard tribe’s mating, Gugu quietly squatted in a corner, calming his emotions.
The larger the beast, the more violent the process, and male leopards have a mating period of over forty days.
Over forty days!
There was some commotion downstairs, and Boge went downstairs, seeing a man walking briskly towards him.
“I want to see your animal form.” Gugu was very calm. The top priority was to determine whether the other party was in heat.
The man hardly hesitated, with a twist of his wrist, the familiar bald big cat appeared in front of Gugu.
Taking out the protective gloves prepared long ago, Gugu took a deep breath, taking the big cat into the bedroom. He reached back to close the bedroom door, leaving Xiaodu and Xiaojinguo outside to prevent them from seeing anything.
The next moment, Gugu suddenly pounced on the big cat, pinning it down underneath. With hardly any effort, he found the evidence of the big cat’s heat.
The big cat was caught off guard, unsure why the human suddenly became so passionate. Nevertheless, it closed its eyes with a hint of awkwardness, tensing up completely and remaining motionless out of nervousness.
