There will be many female characters throughout the story, but there will be no simps or similar behaviors. Each female character is designed to have unique traits and preferences, and the author will try their best to write them well. There will be virtually no romantic subplots.

Without female characters, it requires a strong sense of rhythm, which newbies may not be able to grasp and will only be able to distract themselves.

"One hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred!"

"Phew~"

[Fitness training, experience +5]

Lin Ran turned over and lay down, then began doing sit-ups.

The plump orange cat lay on the sofa with its front paws tucked in, its tail swaying gently, staring at the news playing on the TV, as if it could understand what the TV was saying.

"Today, twelve members of the Human Alliance attended a meeting related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Humans and the Catmen."

"The cat-people representative stated that this is a good start, and that the relationship between the cat-people and humans will become even closer in the future. They have decided to send exchange students to study here soon..."

The big orange cat wagged its tail, twitched its ears, and glanced down at Lin Ran, who was focused on doing sit-ups.

Foolish and weak humans, thinking you can become martial artists through mere training? What a pipe dream.

"Meow~"

The big orange cat yawned, lazily sprawled on the sofa, and wagged its tail.

The news continued, but with different content.

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"According to reliable sources, a suspected cult stronghold has appeared near Lincheng. It is possible that cult members have infiltrated the city. Citizens are advised to exercise caution when going out..."

……

"One hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred!"

"Phew~"

Lin Ran collapsed onto the yoga mat, and it took her a long time to recover.

Watching the news reports, I felt a strange sense of disorientation.

This is a completely different parallel world.

Five hundred years ago, a wormhole appeared leading to the battlefield of the heavens.

After going through a process of chaos, invasion, counterattack, victory, entering the battlefield, and gaining a foothold, it has developed to its current state.

Only three nations remained, and they formed a human alliance, jointly governed by thirteen councilors.

The cat-people (cat-eared girls) come from the battlefields of the heavens and have their own mother world. Their overall strength is comparable to that of the human race.

Lin Ran snapped back to reality, her gaze falling on the skill panel.

[Skill List:]

[Fitness LV1: 30/500]

He started from infancy after his soul was transmigrated, and his cheat ability only appeared two hours ago.

Its function is simple: use skills to increase corresponding experience and level up; after reaching the maximum level, it can undergo transformation/sublimation.

Enrolling skills requires corresponding behaviors.

"Meow~"

Big Orange tilted its head to look at Lin Ran.

Foolish humans, hurry up and cook! I'm starving!

Lin Ran looked down at it and felt as if the cat was glancing at him sideways.

Then he shook his head, "It's just a cat."

drip~

"Hey, sis, what's up?"

A clear and excited female voice rang out from the terminal.

"My advisor told me that the cat-human exchange student program will be held at your school, and you'll get a cat-eared girl within six months! I want to pet a cat!!!"

"Isn't one fat orange cat enough for you to pet? When are you going to take it away? Its shedding is so hard to clean, and it won't eat its cat food, it's stealing my food!"

Lin Ran remained silent and questioned Lin Qing.

Lin Qing snorted and said arrogantly,

"It's for your own good that you're letting me keep it! If it weren't for the fact that university dorms don't allow cats, I wouldn't have given it to you!"

"I want to see your cat-eared girlfriend within six months! I'll transfer you some money later, don't be stingy, you have no idea how rich your sister is now!"

Snapped!

Lin Ran pouted and ignored Lin Qing's request.

"Ding-dong~ Your affiliate account has received 100000 yuan."

"..."

hiss~

My sister's got so much money now? Finding a catgirl girlfriend isn't out of the question.

Lin Ran thought for a moment, then sent a text message asking:

"Sis, do you have any methods to help people recover faster after exercise?"

"I have a 'Health Preservation Exercise' manual. You want to practice martial arts? However, the path to martial arts is already blocked. Even if you master it to the highest level, you'll only be equivalent to the peak of a lower-level Awakened Being, unable to even defeat a mid-level Awakened Being. Consider it as a reference to broaden your horizons."

"If you really want to practice martial arts, first step into the extraordinary realm. Once you reach the Divine Fire Realm, even if you are at the lower level, your lifespan will be greatly increased before you start studying martial arts."

Lin Qing sent me a video.

After reading it carefully, Lin Ran thought Lin Qing's words made sense.

But he's cheating!

He had experienced natural death; his body gradually decayed, his consciousness became chaotic and blurred, and an uncontrollable fear and despair gradually eroded his mind—unstoppable! Unstoppable!

Even today, I still feel an overwhelming fear whenever I think about it!

Today, we have a way to fight aging and death.

He wants everything: extraordinary abilities, martial arts, and immortality!

"The first movement of the health-preserving exercise..."

Lin Ran put her phone aside and started practicing.

time flies.

"Meow!"

The big orange cat roared and climbed onto the back of the sofa, intending to look down on the weak human.

However, Lin Ran was standing too high, so it could only look up at the other side.

Foolish humans! How dare you let me go hungry!

This grudge will be remembered!

Lin Ran glanced at Da Ju, then checked the time; it was time to prepare dinner.

……

kitchen.

Lin Ran started cooking the meat.

While waiting, I took out my personal terminal and found that the class group chat was already flooded with messages, and the class monitor had even posted a group announcement.

"Cat-eared girls are coming to our No. 3 Middle School!"

"Cat-eared girl~ Hehe~ Cat-eared girl~"

"Don't generate electricity here! Let me do it!"

"I can't believe it! The exchange students from the cat-people, who should be among the top students, didn't choose either No. 1 or No. 2 Middle School!"

"The cat-people are different from humans. They don't care about our so-called achievements. All their education is conducted in actual combat. Almost all cat-people are born warriors!"

"I wonder if any cat-eared girls will be assigned to our class? If so, I have a very good chance of finding a boyfriend!"

"What if it's a male cat-person?"

"Isn't that even better!"

Group member Zhang Yue has been banned from speaking.

"..."

drip~

The pressure cooker is making a sound.

Lin Ran turned off the heat and waited a while before lifting the lid. A rich aroma wafted out.

[Cooking Skill LV1: 1/500]

Big Orange was already sitting in front of the rice bowl, trying its best to maintain its haughty demeanor, but its eyes were fixed on the fragrant chunks of meat.

Lin Ran brought over rice and gave Da Ju a few pieces of meat.

"Meow~"

The orange immediately wentbble down the food.

Hmph, you weak human, I'll spare you this time!

……

After the meal.

Lin Ran practiced her health-preserving exercises, and before she knew it, it was midnight!

[Health Preservation, Experience +120]

I took a shower and lay in bed watching videos.

drip~

"Lin Ran, are you asleep? I can't sleep."

The note says Chen Fei, the only classmate in Class 8 with whom I got along.
