My Cat Has Superpower?!

Chapter 159: Chapter 158 I Want to Become Lord Cat

Alone, a cat found its way to the rooftop.

At this point, the defenses of the rooftop had already undergone significant transformation. Lu Zixun raised his paw, and with magnetic field control, a metallic platform appeared in front of him.

Powering his hind legs, he rose and leapt, climbing on top of the platform.

Gazing at the sunset over Lingchuan City, his heart was extraordinarily complex.

After experiencing so much, Lu Zixun realized all the more that with great power comes great responsibility, but at that moment he felt utterly bewildered.

Facing something that could cause even a formidable being like Ye Ye to perish, could he really take over the duty of the guardian beast with his current strength?

"Screech."

The sound of an iron gate opening echoed, and Lu Zixun turned to see Xiong Kang, asking in a sullen tone, "What are you doing up here?"

Carrying a plastic bag in his hand, Xiong Kang shook it a bit, showing the beer inside.

He smiled and replied, "I went to find Gongsun Li, and after realizing you weren’t there, I thought for a bit and figured you must have come up to the rooftop on your own."

With the Mother and Child Sword unsheathed, it formed a staircase in the air. Xiong Kang slowly climbed up to the metallic platform and sat down beside Lu Zixun.

Handing him a bottle of beer, "Beer, humans tend to drink this when they’re feeling down. Why don’t you give it a try?"

"Hiss~"

Seeing that Lu Zixun didn’t take it, Xiong Kang shook his head, placed the beer in front of Lu Zixun, and proceeded to open a can for himself.

Savoring a sip, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face full of contentment.

Turning his head, his gaze fell on Lu Zixun, "You became the Gongsun Family’s Guardian Beast?"

"Mm..."

Reluctantly nodding, Lu Zixun raised his paw and fiddled with his ear, "I knew I shouldn’t have accepted. I just wanted a few Array Formation Plates."

Hearing this, Xiong Kang, who had a rough understanding of why Lu Zixun made that decision, couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Looking up at the sun slowly disappearing on the horizon, "I believe that your agreement to join the Gongsun Family wasn’t because you’re thin-skinned. After all, you’re quite shameless."

Xiong Kang outright stated Lu Zixun’s inner thoughts, then tipped his head back and took a sip of beer, "But, did you really meet Ye Ye?"

"I did."

Lifting his paw, Lu Zixun hooked open the beer tab and held the can in his embrace, licking it lightly.

"It’s just that I feel a bit uncomfortable inside, a sense of... powerlessness."

His head gradually drooping, Lu Zixun licked the beer, feeling even more dispirited.

At that moment, a large hand covered his head, gently massaging.

Looking up, he glanced at Xiong Kang.

He saw Xiong Kang with a smile on his lips, shaking his head and asking, "Da Ju, I’m asking you, do you really have to be powerful to protect this world?"

After considering Xiong Kang’s words carefully, Lu Zixun nodded forcefully.

Facing the invasion of abnormal creatures, you certainly needed a certain strength to deal with them.

"It’s not like that."

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang looked ahead with a deep gaze, speaking calmly, "If abnormal creatures are so strong, why do they still hide in the shadows and engage in sneaky activities?"

"That’s because of our existence."

Smiling at Lu Zixun, he pointed at the silver badge around his neck, "This is the STO emblem. Have you ever taken a close look at this identity card?"

Frowning, Lu Zixun shook his head.

He hadn’t really paid much attention to that identity card.

"It’s forged in the shape of a Möbius strip, symbolizing eternity and infinity. As long as STO exists in this world, abnormal creatures can only hide in the shadows."

In the calm words, Lu Zixun felt an overwhelming assertiveness coming his way.

He finished the can he was holding, crushed it, and tossed it aside.

Xiong Kang opened another can and ruffled Lu Zixun’s hair, "If you’re tired, take a break for a while. We’re here for you."

It was at this moment that Lu Zixun fully understood why Xiong Kang had said that one did not need immense power to protect the world.

Is STO’s overall strength strong?

Not really.

Most are C and B grade Genetic Optimization Soldiers.

If it came down to pure strength, STO would hardly stand a chance against the Abnormal Creatures.

Yet, in the face of such a vast disparity in strength, the Abnormal Creatures were still being suppressed by STO...

After pondering the reason, Lu Zixun had a rough idea.

STO’s main force was continuously hunting the Abnormal Creatures.

The high-end military power was battling Queen-level or higher Abnormal Creatures.

Only like this, the Abnormal Creatures couldn’t raise their heads.

Suddenly, Lu Zixun felt much clearer.

He looked up at Xiong Kang, finding his way of comforting others quite unique.

If he wanted to become a high-end combat force, then the responsibilities and pressures he would face were naturally much greater than those of the main force, but this was also a way to protect the world.

However...

Lu Zixun had no desire to be part of any main force.

If a day came when an existence even Long Jiuri could not contend with appeared, Xiong Kang and the others would definitely be the first to die.

The main force wouldn’t stand a chance either, and Lu Zixun didn’t want to see that happen.

He got up and patted Xiong Kang’s shoulder.

Feeling great, Lu Zixun downed his beer in one gulp and belched, "I’m going to become a big shot cat, and everyone who sees me will have to call me Lord Cat!"

Seeing the spirited Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang knew he had figured it out and gave a heartfelt smile, "Alright, Lord Cat."

"Ding—Reassurance value from Xiong Kang +7000."

Looking back at the relaxed expression in Xiong Kang’s eyes, Lu Zixun felt warmth in his heart,

Making a rough guy like Xiong Kang say such comforting words must have been hard for him.

"From now on, Lord Cat’s got your back, guaranteeing you live the good life!"

He laughed arrogantly, and his strange laughter filled the rooftop.

...

"Ding—Appreciation value from Zeng Haoyang +8000."

"This research notebook is really useful, and so is the captured Ye Xun."

Throwing an appreciative look at Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang also noticed his damaged nano armor, "Take out the chip and give it to me, and I’ll have the lab folks fix it up for you."

Handing over the chip to Zeng Haoyang, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment, "Old man, that Ma Jiang controlled by Tan Ye from the student council, might cause trouble at the event organized in a few days. Could STO lend me a few people, preferably those who can take on a Half-step King-level?"

With a smile, Zeng Haoyang looked at Lu Zixun and said, slightly annoyed, "Should I just have Xiao Jiu follow you?"

Long Jiuri?

Cocking his head and thinking seriously, Lu Zixun cautiously said, "Wouldn’t it be too conspicuous if Ninth Brother was with me?"

"You kid..."

Zeng Haoyang, amused by Lu Zixun’s words, gave him a look, "You really want Xiao Jiu to follow you, huh? Kang Ning going with you would be enough. That’s settled then, come pick up your nano armor tomorrow."
