The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Was Chapter 3 eaten for nothing?
[Hellish Creature: Cerberus]

[Qualification: Lord (Common, Elite, Lord, King, Epic, Legendary, Mythical)]

[Tier 3: 0/10000]

[Name: Not yet chosen.]

[Skill: Not yet mastered.]

[Believer: True Believer (provides 10 points of faith daily)]

Mood: Happy

[Analysis: A hellish creature with an extremely strong sense of territory. Once it chooses a master, it will be fiercely loyal and protective. Only one in ten thousand mutated beasts might possess the potential to become a lord.]

"I never expected that you, little puppy, have the potential to be a lord."

"Although it's only slightly inferior to the little black cat."

"But in the future, they'll probably be rare pets, right?"

It was still a short distance from the back gate of the park to the nearby abandoned hospital. Zeng Shen looked at the Chow Chow's attribute panel and pondered the crisis that would occur when the catastrophe came.

"The end times will come in a year. Human civilization will be destroyed, and a new civilization, a civilization of gods, will begin to emerge."

"And on the eve of evolution, there is bound to be a cruel, dark, bloody and chaotic period."

"If I want to grow quickly during this period and have a place in the future era of gods where everyone is a god, I need to rely on this system that came ahead of time to quickly obtain 10,000 survival points, thereby activating the lottery wheel and drawing the treasures inside, so that I can cultivate my own believers faster."

"In other words, these survival points are a guarantee for one's future growth and strength."

"My survival points are currently only 3100, which is still a long way from 10,000 survival points."

"Currently, there are four known ways to earn points."

"First, recruit believers."

Second, transform casual believers into true believers.

Third, feed them to gain the favor of some mutated beasts stronger than yourself, and eventually bring them under your command.

Fourthly, in situations similar to Li Yuqing's, if you encounter other deities who might pose a threat, force them to retreat.

Holding a small black cat in his arms and a small white dog following closely at his feet, Zeng Shen unknowingly walked to the outer fence gate of the abandoned hospital.

The abandoned hospital was very large, with an outer wall, and the door on the outer wall was a large iron gate.

It was locked.

Through the patterned holes in the iron gate, it's clear that this abandoned hospital has been abandoned for quite some time.

There were several old, rusty cars in the parking area, covered with vines, and the road leading to the main hospital building was overgrown with weeds.

It is said that several deaths occurred here in the past, and it was later sealed off and has never been reopened. Instead, it has become a home for stray cats.

As soon as he climbed over the iron gate, a gust of cold wind blew over, and Zeng Shen couldn't help but shiver.

He picked up the little black cat and the little white dog that had squeezed through the gap in the iron gate and walked inside.

Suddenly, a series of urgent warning sounds appeared before his eyes, accompanied by a bright red panel that was shaking wildly.

[Warning! Warning! A group of intelligent races is entrenched here. One of them is far more powerful than the host and their pet can defeat. Please leave immediately. If discovered, they will enslave you and may use every means to extract your divine energy. The consequences will be unimaginable and unbearable.]

Ignoring the warning, Zeng Shen walked expressionlessly to the glass doors of the hospital.

The hospital's glass doors were already shattered, with shards of glass scattered all over the floor; he could simply walk in.

But in order not to startle the cat.

He stood in front of the broken glass door, took out a bag of fish sausages, held one up to the little black cat's nose, let it sniff it, and said:
"Go and bring your brothers and sisters, your aunts and uncles, all of them. This fish sausage is yours."

"aim."

The little black cat was small, but it was exceptionally intelligent.

As if it immediately understood Zeng Shen's meaning, it let out a childish cry and darted into the depths of the corridor behind the hospital lobby.

And every now and then, one or two meows could be heard.

It seemed as if he was calling out to his friends.

Soon, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, one after another, seven or eight cat meows rose up from the depths of the hospital corridor and from one room after another.

"Meow~"

"Meow meow meow~"

"Meow~meow~"

"Wang Wang Wang Wang."

Hearing so many meows, the little Chow Chow barked fiercely at the hospital gate.

Suddenly, the entire hospital fell silent.

"Shut up, you stupid dog." Zeng Shen gently kicked the puppy aside.

The little white dog had just subdued a group of stray cats.

He looked very pleased with himself.

As a result, it was suddenly kicked aside by its owner, and was about to let out a confused and aggrieved whimper, but then it saw Zeng Shen's glaring eyes.

It immediately shut its mouth.

Seeing that the little white dog had calmed down, Zeng Shen didn't want to argue with it anymore.

But thinking that the little white dog might frighten the cats, he picked it up by the neck and put it in a broken car not far away.

Then he put a few more fish sausages in the bowl for it to eat, before turning around and walking to the broken glass door of the hospital to continue observing what was happening inside. A little while later...

The little black cat's meow rang out again, and then it appeared in the hospital lobby.

Behind it, several kittens of different colors followed.

Zeng Shen also noticed that several large cats had appeared in other corners as well.

The little black cat meowed at the five kittens behind it, signaling them to follow, then ran to Zeng Shen's feet. It first rubbed its head against his trouser leg, then looked at the fish and sausage in its owner's hand and licked its tongue slightly.

[Warning! Warning! The host has been surrounded by a group of intelligent races with the bloodline of Buster. They are unruly and far stronger than the host. If the host is enslaved, they will drain the divine energy from the host's body. The host must lead their people to break through the encirclement quickly and get away from this place.]

Hearing the frantic notifications in my mind, and seeing the virtual warning panel filled with warnings in front of me.

Zeng Shen looked at the stray cats that were spying on him from the corners around him.

So, they would enslave me?
Exploit me?
How do I extract it? Do I have to turn into a cute girl?
Would you like some pressed peanut oil?
"Little glutton, this is a reward for you."

Zeng Shen half-squatted down and put the fish and sausage on the ground for the little black cat to eat. He threw a few more on the ground, trying to lure the five kittens and the other adult cats that were spying on him from the corners closer.

These stray cats have been wandering the streets for a long time, and they have developed a lot of wildness, unlike domestic cats that are more likely to trust and approach humans.

However, Zeng Shen was a patient person, and he waited patiently until the wild cat could not resist the temptation and approached.

Time passed bit by bit.

The first to succumb to the temptation were the kittens, who were just born like the little black cat.

A small orange cat, resembling an orange tabby, was the first to approach Zeng Shen, or more precisely, to approach a fish sausage in front of his feet.

"Meow~" The little orange cat blinked its curious cat eyes, looked at Zeng Shen, and let out a meow, as if asking if it could eat.

"Eat up, little one," Zeng Shen said with a gentle smile.

Perhaps sensing the friendliness in Zeng Shen's smile, the little orange cat started biting into the fish sausage on the ground and began eating. As it ate, it made smacking noises and occasionally looked up at Zeng Shen with its bright little eyes, which was very cute.

[Congratulations, host! You have gained the favor of the Buster descendant cub. Survival points +10.]

After one kitten approached Zeng Shen, the other kittens quickly followed.

They let out a meow and began to eat the sausage in front of them.

Moreover, while eating, she looked at Zeng Shen with her bright, sparkling cat eyes, which was especially cute and endearing.

[Congratulations, host! You have gained the favor of four Buster descendant cubs. Survival points +40]

The wildcats were hiding in the corner, secretly observing everything in front of them.

Seeing that Zeng Shen meant no harm, they meowed at each other once or twice, and then two large white wildcats with black spots tentatively walked to a distance of about five meters from Zeng Shen and stopped.

"Here, take this bag of fish sausages." Zeng Shen took a large bag of fish sausages out of his backpack, tore it open, and threw it over.

The two large white wildcats with black spots were startled and darted back, disappearing without a trace along with the other large wildcats.

Zeng Shen was dumbfounded.

"When did cats become so timid?"

"You think you can enslave me with this?"

Zeng Shen muttered something, took out a bag of small fish and sausages, poured them on the ground, and fed them to the six kittens around him. Then he patiently waited for the other adult wildcats to appear again.

Half a minute later.

The two black-spotted white wildcats, along with the other wildcats that had just disappeared, all reappeared in Zeng Shen's field of vision.

As soon as the two large white wildcats with black spots appeared, they slowly approached the bag of fish and sausages that Zeng Shen had just thrown over.

They sniffed at each other first, then each swiftly grabbed a large sausage and ran to the side to eat, while cautiously watching Zeng Shen.

Seeing that there was no danger, the other wildcats also ran over, picked up fish sausages one by one, and ran to a secluded corner to eat them.

At the same time, he would occasionally look up and observe Zeng Shen.

In no time, the large bag of fish and sausages was devoured by the wild cats in a scramble.

Seeing this, Zeng Shen threw another bag over.

This time, the two black-spotted white wildcats and the other wildcats didn't suddenly dart away and disappear. Instead, they rushed over like rockets, grabbed the fish sausages, and then fought over them to eat them.

After finishing their second bag of large fish and sausages, the wildcats were probably full. Some sat still and stared at Zeng Shen, some slipped away and disappeared, and others went back to their dens to observe him.

But not a single one came close.

Zeng Shen looked at the wildcats who became lazy after finishing their food and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"These big wildcats are full, why aren't they contributing any survival points?"

"Did they take advantage of me for free?"

"And why didn't these little wildcats become my kin and my followers like the little black cat?"

"These fish sausages cost me a hundred yuan. If I only get 50 survival points in return, I feel like I'm losing out."

Zeng Shen shook his head and rubbed his temples.

"Could it be that they are still wary of me?"

With that thought in mind, Zeng Shen decided to come back to feed them the next day. He reached out and led the little black cat and the little white dog out through the large iron gate of the abandoned hospital.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully led your pack and mounts to break through the encirclement of a powerful intelligent race. Survival points +1000.]

"It's worth it."
