Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 114 Cat God's Darling

Gesang noticed these lingering traces because of his ingrained caution.

He paced quietly at the edge of the camp.

Wandering around, gathering more clues.

Finally, on the loose soil beneath a thin layer of snow, his fingertip touched a cold, hard foreign object.

This thing wasn't left behind by any local!
An idea lingered in Gesang's mind.

His face was solemn, and after much deliberation, he decided to talk to Infinitesimal first.

While helping Wuji Xiaoliang set up his tent, Gesang leaned over and whispered his discovery to him.

"You mean someone was here even before us?"

"Yes."

Even the infinitesimal frowned.

This is not something that is worth worrying about too much.

After all, this place is indeed very suitable for camping, and it is normal for some locals or hikers to choose to camp here if they pass by.

But Infinite Quantity sensed something was wrong from Gesang's tone.

He gave him a wink, and the two of them walked in unison to the shade of the rocks in the sheltered area.

"How so?" The voice of infinitesimal quantity deepened.

Gesang slowly spread out his rough palms.

In the palm of my hand lay a rusty metal object, its shape twisted and peculiar, its edges sharp and worn.

“Passengers passing through wouldn’t carry this kind of ‘luggage’.”

Upon seeing the rusty rivet, Infinitely Small's pupils suddenly contracted.

"The core of a bear trap?!"

The reason I know this is because I have personally seen brand new animal traps in the wild, and my friend from the Forestry Bureau told me that this kind of part only appears on animal traps.

Other devices don't use this!

Gesang nodded: "It's definitely true, and it's not the same kind of clip I've seen locally."

Not a fellow traveler, nor a fellow villager.

Therefore, the identity of the person who left this item is self-evident.

Poachers!
"I didn't expect there really were poachers around here. Teacher Chen was right again!"

The infinitesimal has a complex perspective.

He actually has a lot of experience shooting in the wild!

But I've never encountered so many things before.

He picked up the rivet and examined it carefully before putting it back in Gesang's hand, indicating that Gesang should keep it safe.

He said in a serious tone, "Brother Gesang, this one part alone is not enough to prove the existence of poachers. Maybe it was left behind by a fellow villager? So, don't tell anyone else about this for now. Let's search the area again in the next couple of days."

"It's not too late to speak out once we find more evidence."

Bringing up the poachers at this point would only distract everyone.

The main task at present is still filming.

Gesang nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Although he confirmed that the local clips were not the same as this one, Infinitesimal was right.

It's best not to make a fuss until more evidence is found.

That's why he privately approached Infinite Quantity about this matter; it was something he had carefully considered beforehand.

"Then let's do this for now."

After agreeing to go out together to look for more clues the next day, the two returned to the camp and began to set up their tents.

The setting sun melts gold, turning the snow-capped peaks into the most magnificent altar.

As the last rays of sunlight sank into the embrace of the mountains, a simple campsite was set up in a sheltered hollow.

After a quick meal, everyone, exhausted, crawled into their tents to rest.

Only Gu Ying and Xia Qiyue remained steadfast in the cold wind, greedily capturing the last embers of the sunset over the golden mountains with their cameras.

Who says women are inferior to men?

Lin Sen poked his head out of the tent and sighed, then looked at Chen Nian, who was still live-streaming on her phone next to him: "Old Chen! I'm going to sleep first! Goodnight!"

After saying that, he shrank back inside, and soon soft snoring could be heard from inside the tent.

Only when the world was completely soaked in ink, and the cold was so thick that it could freeze one's breath, did Chen Nian raise a smile to the camera that was stiff from the cold but still bright.

"Cuteness is justice, and cats bring good fortune! See you tomorrow, friends!"

The moment he ended the broadcast, he couldn't wait to crawl into his tent and lie down.

Finally, no one's bothering me!
Chen Nian excitedly rubbed her numb face and quickly crawled into her sleeping bag and closed her eyes.

Claim your reward!

'Received successfully, meow~!' In the consciousness space, Xiaomi was even more excited than Chen Nian, spinning around excitedly, its tail wagging like a little fan.

'The Body of Best has been issued, shall we activate it now, meow?'

"Hurry up!" Chen Nian shouted in her heart.

The next second, an indescribable warm current, like a mountain spring thawing in early spring, quietly flowed through Chen Nian's limbs and bones.

The fatigue seemed to be gently brushed away.

A subtle and soothing crackling sound seemed to emanate from deep within my body, as if my dormant muscles and bones were awakening and rebuilding.

"Mmm!" Chen Nian couldn't help but arch her back in comfort.

It stretched like a cat, its spine emitting a series of pleasant gurgling sounds.

'Activated?'

'Activated, meow~'

After confirming that she had activated the Best Body, Chen Nian immediately reached for her tailbone.

It is smooth and flat, without any extra fuzz.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's good that it doesn't have a tail! It's good that it doesn't have a tail!"

Then, Chen Nian took out her phone and took selfies from all angles, grinning widely.

"Hmm, his face hasn't changed, and his teeth haven't gotten any sharper."

There was no cat hair on its back.

After thoroughly examining her entire body and confirming that there were no external abnormalities, Chen Nian frowned.

'Does this cat god's body have absolutely no outward features?'

'No, meow~'

'Won't the effect be bad?'

'Well, you'll understand once you calm down and feel it, meow!' A hint of a smile flashed in Xiaomi's eyes.

Long before Chen Nian activated the Best Body, his body had already undergone tremendous changes!
The initial stretching counts as one.

Using a mobile phone to check one's body, and curling one's body into a pretzel counts as one.

Xiaomi's gaze turned to the outside of the tent again.

—The little guy peeking out from the camp entrance, curiously observing the place, also counts as one.

Best's body has many wonderful uses!
Chen Nian simply didn't notice it at the time.

After hearing Xiaomi's words, Chen Nian calmed her excitement and focused her mind.

Immediately, the cat paw panel popped up with a 'beep'.

'It even comes with cute sound effects, right!'

Only after confirming that she was the only one who could hear the sound did Chen Nian feel relieved enough to check the contents of the panel.

-

Best's Body

[Unique trait: Cat God's favorite.]

Once activated, it increases natural affinity and attraction to all felines for 5 minutes (this effect stacks with intimacy levels with cats), and prevents the user from being attacked by felines.

[Passive: Permanently increases cat affinity by 3, and grants a slight feline attribute]

-

Chen Nian completely ignored the final passive effect.

Compared to those three points of intimacy, the active effect of Best's Body is simply overpowered!

"Fuck!"

"After activation, I won't be attacked by felines?! This is truly a sacred feline body!"

At this moment, my heart was pounding with excitement and my hands were trembling.

Chen Nian was already blinded by the incredible effects of the Best Body.

For Chen Nian, whose main job is live-streaming cat appraisal, nothing could be more suitable for him!
This means that he could immediately run to the African savanna, stand shoulder to shoulder with the lions, sleep with the tiger, and hold hands with the leopard, and none of the big cats would attack him!

Just thinking about that scene made Chen Nian incredibly excited!
Don't get too cocky, meow~

Just then, Xiaomi's timely reminder interrupted Chen Nian's daydream.

It patted the ground with its little paws.

Xiaomi's Classroom is now open:

'The initial effects of the Cat God's Body aren't as good as you think, meow.'

The definition of "not attacking unprovoked" depends on the situation. If you approach a wild cat abruptly, this provocative behavior will be considered as an act of aggression!

"And there's a time limit. Once the activation period ends, and those wild big cats suddenly find a 'stranger' nearby, what do you think they'll do next? Get an extra meal, meow?"

'.Forehead.'

Chen Nian almost forgot about the 'transformation' time.

Xiaomi's words successfully calmed him down a bit.

However, they did not completely calm down.

'That's pretty awesome, okay!'

'If I had Best's Body when I encountered the Asian Golden Cat before, I wouldn't have been so nervous!'

Chen Nian's eyes gleamed:
'Furthermore, since they belong to the same system, and the Cat God's Eyes and Ears can be strengthened through training, then the Cat God's Body must also be able to have its activation time extended through training, right?'

Little Mimi flicked her tail: 'That's how it is, meow.'

'Hehe, that works too~'

Chen Nian smiled contentedly.

'One day, I will truly realize my dream of walking alongside those big cats, letting more people understand the big cat family and join my Big Cat Cult!'

Looking at Chen Nian's childlike smile, Xiaomi sighed.

We're truly defeated by this human.

But that's precisely why it's growing to like this human more and more, meow!

Immediately, a smile appeared on Xiaomi's face.

'Then you'd better keep up the good work, meow!'

Absolutely!

My excitement had not subsided.

At this rate, Chen Nian felt she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

So he shut down his cat god body, got up, opened the tent, and went outside, hoping to calm himself down in the cold wind.

A crisp, cool breeze swept over me, carrying the pure scent of the snow-capped mountains.

Above, billions of stars seemed to be scattered like diamonds on a velvet curtain, dazzling and breathtaking.

The new dragon climbing lizard in the distance is also very cute.

wrong!

lizard???

Chen Nian turned her head away abruptly.

To my surprise, I was able to see a lizard less than ten centimeters long lying on a rock dozens of meters away!
The shape is clearly visible!

It's just like having night vision enabled!
"My night vision has gotten better?!"

Being able to see this new dragon climbing lizard so clearly on such a dark night made Chen Nian realize that perhaps the Best Body was even more magical than he had thought!

Looks like I'll have to give it a good try tomorrow!
The cold wind hitting her face gradually calmed Chen Nian's agitated emotions.

"Teacher Chen? Aren't you resting yet?"

Just then, Gesang, who was on night watch, heard the noise and a soft beam of his flashlight swept over.

Chen Nian quickly snapped out of her daze.

"I came out for some fresh air, then I'll go to sleep! Thanks for your hard work, Brother Gesang, goodnight!"

He crouched down and retreated into the tent, then closed the curtain.

Goodnight, Mimi!

Almost the instant my head touched the inflatable pillow, my body automatically found the most comfortable curled-up position, like a small animal that had found a safe corner, and my consciousness quickly sank into a warm and peaceful dreamland.

It falls asleep as fast as a real feline!
Goodnight, meow~
