He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 20 Call Mom

The interior of the flight cabin was made entirely of silver metal panels, with three hibernation pods standing side by side. This place was much more spacious than Li Ji's dormitory.

"This place is even smaller than my toilet, kitty."

The world of rich cats is truly different.

Li Ji and the other two entered their respective hibernation pods, and the glass barriers slowly closed.

With a "buzz," the pale blue nutrient solution filled the entire hibernation pod, and a cool sensation covered Li Ji's entire body, cleansing his eyes.

They couldn't see each other, but they could hear Shark Baby's voice coming from all around them.

"hula, wuhuhu, lululu!"

"Shark Baby, what are you doing, meow?"

I heard a gurgling sound coming from over there.

"I am battling the water."

"I'm so envious of you, meow, you can have so much fun playing in the water, meow."

Li Ji hoped that this operation would be foolproof.

"We're almost at Earth, let's do one last confirmation."

"First of all, our relationship is good. We are friends, which is our normal state. There is no need to pretend."

"Didn't I agree to play the role of a family of three cats? Honey~"

Li Ji was numb to the sound of Dai Lulu's coquettish voice.

"I refuse! Family relationships on Earth are complicated; you can't possibly understand them."

"I'm a mammal too, just like humans, meow. It's just one dad, one mom, and a bunch of colorful brothers and sisters, meow?"

"Shark Baby can't understand it."

"He can meow. Little Shark, call Mommy meow."

Sha Bao answered crisply, "Mom."

"Such a good meow."

"hey-hey."

Li Ji yelled, "You two came here for fun, didn't you?"

"dad."

Li Ji's angry heart trembled, and he wavered somewhat.

Who could refuse to adopt a good brother as their son?

"Daddy meow~"

Dailulu's coquettish voice completely threw Li Ji's heart into disarray.

"What's your name?!"

"A recent study shows that people also call their spouses 'Mom' and 'Dad.' And the usage rate of this term is increasing. You can also call me 'Mom.'"

"I reject!"

For the first time, Li Ji felt ashamed to be an Earthling.

"You're not rejecting me because you can't understand Earthling family structures, meow?"

The Barbaradus are raised in groups and have no concept of family.

Li Ji had completely fallen into Dai Lulu's trap.

If you admit it, it means you're not skilled enough, and naturally you can't fight for team leadership.

If he agrees, he will fulfill Delulu's wish.

He could imagine that Delulu was now grinning mischievously, just like the evil Berlin kitten.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm extremely familiar with the family structure of Earthlings."

"It's settled then, Daddy meow~"

"Don't use such a strange form of address!"

"The next item is the travel plan for the next three days. Class monitor, could you share the to-do list with me?"

"No problem, meow. The tasks for the three days are: sleep like an Earthling, eat, use the toilet, buy one thing, join in a crowd, and make an Earthling friend."

I could understand Li Ji's previous comments, but what's with the "joining in the fun" thing?

"What are you trying to gather—"

The red lights inside the hibernation pod flashed frequently.

"A star-level jump is about to take place, and passengers will be forced into hibernation."

Before Li Ji could finish speaking, his vision went black and he fell into a deep sleep.

……

Hangzhou, China, 3 a.m.

A young man from a large factory, who had just finished get off work, sat by the Qiantang River, holding a can of ice-cold beer, idly watching the tranquil water.

The night breeze brushed against his face, carrying the cool temperature of the river water and the rich fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.

This was a rare moment of peace for him during the day.

He opened his screensaver, which showed a cartoon astronaut holding up the time 3:24.

He looked up at the desolate night sky, his brows furrowed, and sighed, "I can't see a single star."

In the distant, dark night sky, a shooting star streaked across the sky, its bright arc resembling a dream from my childhood.

He clasped his hands together and said, "I really want to see aliens. If I can see aliens even once in my lifetime, I will die without regrets."

He smiled, as if recalling his most cherished childhood fantasies.

"Of course, it would be even better if I could become a billionaire before that, have all the female celebrities around, and have my boss act as my pet."

He watched the shooting star slowly grow larger, and his smile grew wider as well. "It's so beautiful, it's like it's flying right towards me."

"Wait a minute! It looks like it's flying right towards me!"

"This wish is too effective! You can just die like that? I haven't even seen an alien yet!"

"At least give me your billions in assets and the female celebrity!"

"If all else fails, I'll have my boss be my dog ​​for ten minutes!"

As the meteor drew closer, it grew as tall as the rooftop of a distant building.

He got up to run away, but then felt a sharp pain in his chest, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

A huge splash erupted from the edge of the Qiantang River.

A door opened in the void, right next to Binjiang Road.

A young woman dressed in a brightly colored Tang-style Hanfu walked out with a cat-like gait.

Delulu stretched out a big yawn and excitedly shouted, "Earth, here I come!"

Li Ji followed closely behind; he was now a young man from the Celestial Empire dressed in casual clothes.

He looked at the disappearing flight deck behind him and said, "This optical camouflage is amazing; the spaceship has become completely invisible."

"Alas, water!"

Shark Baby was a ten-year-old boy. He looked at the wide river and excitedly jumped high into the air, but was pulled back by Li Ji.

Swimming is prohibited in urban waterways.

Li Ji looked around.

Ahead lies a vast river, and on the opposite bank is a brightly lit city.

A familiar bridge stretches out from the other side, and I am on the riverside promenade. Further up, across the slope covered with greenery, lies the brightly lit city.

"Why does this bridge look so familiar?"

"Isn't this my hometown, Hangzhou?"

He looked out along the riverbank and seemed to be able to see the neighborhood where he had lived since childhood.

"I wonder how Mom and Dad are?"

A sudden sense of confusion arose in his mind.

If I've transmigrated into the alien Li Ji, then where is the current Earthling Li Ji?
He had read many time-travel novels, but none of them seemed to explain this issue.

Soul swap? Or is there an identical version of myself taking over the account?

If it's the latter, then that's fine.

If it's the former, then things are not good.

The alien Li Ji is an artificially created being, without parents. Who knows if he will treat his parents well?

It's also possible that they simply died.

Li Ji felt inexplicably sad.

He decided to first investigate his own situation in the world before deciding how to treat his parents.

"Li Ji, what are you daydreaming about, meow? Time waits for no one, hurry up and get moving, meow!"

"First we need to find a place to stay, meow."

“You can stay here. Look, that person is sleeping here.”

Following the sound of Shark Baby, a young man was lying on the ground with several beer bottles beside him.

"Humans on Earth are so primitive, meow, they haven't even fully popularized housing yet, meow."

"He's obviously drunk and asleep, okay?"

Li Ji quickly stepped forward to wake the other person up, lest they roll into the river.

He crouched down and gently nudged the other man's back: "Dude, wake up, don't sleep here."

"Sleeping so soundly?"

“Shark, lend a hand and drag him inside.”

Li Ji and Sha Bao each grabbed his limbs and lifted him onto the bench.

Li Ji felt something was strange; the man's hands and feet were ice-cold, as if he had no pulse.

Unconvinced, he placed his finger near the other person's nostril, but there was no breath at all. Li Ji's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh my god, he's really not breathing. He seems to be dead."

"Li Ji, why are you killing people the moment you arrive on Earth, meow?"

“It’s not me, he’s always been like this.”

Shark pressed its ear against the man's head.

"He's not dead; his brainwaves are still there."

How were you able to detect brainwaves?

"Can't you?"

We can't worry about that now; at least the person isn't dead, and there's still a chance to save them.

Li Ji quickly laid the other person flat and, recalling what he had learned in his university health class, performed CPR on him.

"Dude, you have to hang in there."

Dailu watched as Li Ji kept pressing on the man's chest, seemingly detached from the situation.

What is he doing, meow?

"Probably finishing him off."
