Chapter 215: The Cat from the Book

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian was not sure how to deal with this elfin. He couldn't just give it to Sheng Ke, but if he let it go, he worried that it would continue telling cats to steal things.

It said that it wanted to go home with Fina. Zhang Zian laughed and said, "Forget it. I suggest you return to your previous owner."

The Cat from the Book made a "pfft" sound in disdain. "Never! She doesn't own me anymore. Someday, if she loses everything to that filthy man, and comes begging to me in tears, then I will…"

"You will forgive her?"

"Forgive her? Huh! No! I will laugh at her, ask her kneel in front of me, and then I will turn her into a slut..."

"Wait a second! What do you mean by slut?"

Zhang Zian was surprised by this cat's awful character, which was more terrible than even that of the parrot elfin.

"Wow! Are you saying you don't know what 'slut' means? Come on! Don't lie to me!"

"I know what it means. She was your owner once; is it really necessary to do that to her?" Zhang Zian tried to explain himself.

The Cat from the Book walked by him and approached Fina, smiling humbly. "Your Majesty, please allow me to be at your service. I will do way better than this filthy man. I will test your food to see if there's poison inside. I will lick your fur when it becomes messy because of the wind blowing. I will be your punching bag whenever you are upset and mad…"

"Wait!" Zhang Zian interrupted it, "It's wrong to use others as punching bags when you lose your temper!"

Fina was actually thinking very seriously. "Fur-licking is unnecessary. But I do need a servant…" It stared at Zhang Zian resentfully, "I'm not satisfied with my current one."

"I am not your servant, remember? We are equal." Zhang Zian corrected Fina.

Still no fur-licking? The Cat from the Book smacked its lips full of regret, but then said vigorously, "Your Majesty! I will be a good servant! And one day, I will be able to lick your fur!"

"Uh... Fina you can't be serious, right?" Zhang Zian said, "This cat could be a big troublemaker..."

Fina was serious, "Well, I do need a qualified servant. Back in the old days, I had so many servants, and right now, I only have you, a lousy servant. What a shame!"

While Zhang Zian was trying to persuade Fina to give up the idea of bringing the Cat from the Book home, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He thought it was a message sent by someone. But when he unlocked the screen, he found that there was no signal at the underground garage. The Pet Hunter game had initiated automatically, and its interface had occupied the whole screen.

[Game Tip]: Congratulations! An elfin has been defeated by your elfin and pledges its allegiance. Do you want to accept it as your pet?

Below the game tip were two options, written with "yes" and "no".

How did this happen?

"Navigation Elf, what's going on?" He was asking the Navigation Elf who could be reached 24/7.

[Navigation Elf]: As I said, the Cat from the Book has been defeated by your Maneki-neko and pledges its allegiance. You can take it as your pet, or you can waive your right to do so.

"What will happen if I choose 'no'?" he asked again.

[Navigation Elf]: If you choose 'no', it will become a free elfin again, and will appear on the detection radar of this game.

What should he do? If he took it as a pet, and this Cat from the Book only liked females, then how could he increase its likability? Did he have to…? No, no way!

"Navigation Elf, is there a third option?"

[Navigation Elf]: No. But for the defeated elfin, if its real name had been unlocked by its previous owner, you don't need to unlock its name again.

"What?" Zhang Zian was confused.

[Navigation Elf]: The defeated elfin's likeability towards its previous owner will be transferred to the elf who has triumphed it.

"So, Fina would become its new owner?"

[Navigation Elf]: That's one way to say it.

"And I don't need to increase its likability again?"

[Navigation Elf]: Yes.

That was some unexpected good news. And Zhang Zian carefully thought about the pros and cons of it. Although the Cat from the Book did not listen to him, at least it obeyed Fina's words.

He moved his finger to "yes" and then clicked on it.

[Game Tip]: Congratulations! You have captured a new elf!

[Game Tip]: The Cat from the Book's likeability towards Maneki-neko has been promoted to the friendly level!

[Game Tip]: The Cat from the Book's real name has been unlocked, with no need to repeat the unlocking process!

[Game Tip]: The Cat from the Book's likeability towards Maneki-neko has been promoted to the trust level, and it has gained the ability of free movement!

The Cat from the Book threw itself at Fina excitedly, "Excellent! Your Majesty! We are officially together. Allow me to lick your fur, please!"

Fina avoided its hug, "Stop it! I told you I don't need you to lick my fur!"

The Cat from the Book was so upset that its sky-blue big eyes filled with tears.

"Your Majesty…"

Zhang Zian stood in front of the Cat from the Book, "Come back into the game. I will release you after we solve this case and get home."

"No! No! I will stay by My Majesty's side!"

Zhang Zian came up with a trick, "Look, I have nude photos of Fina when it's in shower."

"Where?" The cat jumped over excitedly.

Shoot! Zhang Zian successfully captured it and put it back in the phone.

Fina was looking at him angrily, so he quickly explained: "Fina, I don't have your nude pictures! I just said that to trap it!"

He spent a long time explaining before Fina finally believed he didn't take pictures of it when it was bathing.

Zhang Zian sighed exhaustedly, then opened the virtual pet bar of the game, and clicked on the Cat from the Book.

[Game Tip]: Pet properties

[Known as]: The Cat from the Book

[History Unlocked]: According to the classic Chinese novel Chin Ping Mei, Pan Jinlian had a Chausie, who had snow-white fur and a black line on its forehead. The Chausie was called "Charcoal Sent in Snowy Weather", and was also known as the Snowy Lionet. Pan Jinlian loved Snowy Lionet dearly, and she and her maid servant provided it with meticulous care. Snowy Lionet was very clever, intelligent, and considerate. Through Pan Jinlian's elaborately-designed training, it mastered the skills of carrying handkerchiefs and picking up fans in no time.

Xi Menqing had numerous lovers, and Pan Jinlian would cuddle Snowy Lionet in bed when she felt lonely.The Snowy Lionet grew to know increasingly more about human nature, and Pan Jinlian affectionately called it the "Snowy Snitch".

This cat did not really exist, but it had become an elfin in this world because of people's belief in Chin Ping Mei and Pan Jinlian.

[Real name unlocked]: Pan Jinlian's lesbian cat!
