My Cat Has Superpower?!

Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Gourmet Temptation, Obstacle Stir

Entering Zone 11, Lu Zixun felt like he traveled from the Stone Age back to the modern era.

The checkpoint inspection was similar to an ETC, just much stricter.

The LED screens hanging over the plaza were cycling through various merchants’ advertisements,

as well as victories achieved in the war between Sha Fei and the Insect Clan.

The Sha Fei personnel patrolling nearby in their combat uniforms, along with the continuous shouting of street vendors selling their wares, left Lu Zixun somewhat dazed, wondering when the Demon Clan would be able to reach this level of development.

"Lord Xun, your chair and cellphone..."

At that moment, Chen Yue ran up, panting, and handed over a newly purchased cellphone to Lu Zixun.

"Does Crimson Land have mobile games?"

Taking the cellphone and nodding in satisfaction with its design, Lu Zixun suddenly asked this question.

Chen Yue, who had been suddenly taken aback, thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, they do. The games here are not much different from those in human society, but most of them are about popularizing the characteristics of the Insect Clan. There’s not much fun to be had."

"Hmm..."

Wagging his tail a few times, Lu Zixun continued, "So, what about the currency in Crimson Land? Is it still RMB?"

"No."

Shaking his head, Chen Yue replied, "It’s something called Crimson Coins. They’re similar to the coins in human society, but they have special anti-counterfeiting Spiritual Energy. Once destroyed, they can’t be used anymore."

Quite novel. After asking a couple of questions, Lu Zixun started to fiddle with his new phone.

"Knock knock knock."

Hearing someone knocking on the car window, Lu Zixun looked up and saw it was Tang Tianyu. He asked, "What’s up?"

"Lord Xun, care to join me for a meal? My mom’s cooking is especially authentic."

Looking at the proud expression on Tang Tianyu’s face, Lu Zixun, who was about to refuse, thought of the future when he might need Tang Tianyu’s help. He simply rolled down the window and jumped out, "Let’s go."

Mrs. Tang, dining at the table with a cat for the first time, seemed slightly uncomfortable.

However, seeing how much Lu Zixun enjoyed her cooking, the discomfort quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Good stuff, good stuff."

Having not eaten such homely dishes in a long time, Lu Zixun began to eat heartily.

"Take your time, take your time."

Reaching out to pet Lu Zixun’s head, Mrs. Tang smiled gently, "If it’s not enough, I can make more later. Don’t choke now."

After dinner, Lu Zixun, Tang Tianyu, and others were still engaged in a drinking contest.

Seeing Tang Tianyu’s face flushed with alcohol, he raised his glass to toast Lu Zixun, "Lord Xun, I really owe you this time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain to an old acquaintance what would happen after my demise."

"It’s nothing."

Waving his paw, Lu Zixun looked seriously at Tang Tianyu, "I might have been able to save you once, but that doesn’t mean I can always save you a second time. You still need to improve your own strength. Doesn’t Sha Fei provide a way to advance?"

"How could they provide such a path?"

With a sigh, Tang Tianyu, intoxicated by liquor, said, "Within the Human Gathering Place, there are countless A-ranked Spiritual Ability Users. If they were to provide resources for everyone... Firstly, Sha Fei Town wouldn’t be able to suppress all these people. Secondly, there wouldn’t be enough resources. Thirdly, it’s not clear who belongs to Zhenfei."

Various irresistible factors have made it the most painful for A-ranked Spiritual Ability Users like Tang Tianyu to be stuck.

To advance, they must undertake missions.

And the safest way to complete missions is to have S-ranked Spiritual Ability Users carry them out.

This creates a vicious cycle,

S-ranked users, for safety and reward distribution, are reluctant to bring along A-ranked Spiritual Ability Users.

And A-ranked Spiritual Ability Users are unable to do missions on their own; they can only band together in a convoy and take a gamble.

"But the hard days are almost over."

Resting a hand on the chair, Tang Tianyu held a beer can, gazing at the starry sky.

"After this task is handed over, the resources accumulated by the team will be enough to upgrade me to S rank, and then in the Insect Killing competition, I’ll aim for the third place."

Hearing about the Insect Killing competition, Lu Zixun’s ears twitched, "You guys are also going to participate in the Insect Killing competition?"

"We have no choice but to give it a shot."

He glanced at Ran You and the others, already slumped over the table.

With a deep sigh, Tang Tianyu said, "They trust me so much, I can’t let them down."

He took a large gulp of alcohol, resting his hand over his eyes, "This truly is a rotten era."

On hearing this, Lu Zixun also fell silent, unable to offer any words of comfort, and simply accompanied Tang Tianyu in drinking.

Tang Tianyu’s distress was somewhat understandable to Lu Zixun, but he couldn’t entirely empathize.

Because his own rise to S rank hadn’t been met with setbacks and obstructions.

Moreover, sheltered by STO, he had been safely escorted to S rank.

Perhaps it was because life had been too comfortable previously that now, in the Crimson Land, the deep unease felt by Lu Zixun drove him to want to develop the Demon Clan.

But reality dealt Lu Zixun a harsh blow, as establishing a power was not as simple as imagined.

As they drank from cup to cup, interweaving toasts, they unknowingly battled on until dawn.

"Lord Xun, your tolerance is impressive."

At this moment, a somewhat incoherent Tang Tianyu, stammered out these words, then gave Lu Zixun a thumbs-up before collapsing onto the table.

A small smile played upon his lips.

Lu Zixun unraveled his Spiritual Energy, dissipated the alcohol fumes, and stood up, stretching his body.

He patted Tang Tianyu’s head and, realizing he had actually fallen asleep, was somewhat at a loss.

Didn’t this man know that Spiritual Energy could sober you up?

Just as Lu Zixun was about to leave, he ran into Mrs. Tang, who had just woken up.

"Xiao Xun, why are you up so early? Would you join me in buying some groceries?"

She shook her basket with a smile, "When we get back, I’ll make you a hearty breakfast."

And so, Lu Zixun, who had planned to leave, was bribed by the promise of a delicious meal and decided to stay until noon.

Arriving at the bustling market, Lu Zixun stood by Mrs. Tang’s side.

Looking at the crowd bustling about, there was a sense of liveliness to it.

"Boss, how much for this fish?"

Mrs. Tang stood before the fishpond and pointed at a fish, smiling at the vendor.

"Oh, are you buying it for the family cat? This fish has quite a few bones, look at this one instead, it barely has any, and the flesh is tasty..."

Leaving the market, and seeing groups of Sha Fei personnel uniformly dressed in Combat Uniforms orderly advancing towards the outskirts of Zone 11.

"What are they doing?"

Lu Zixun looked up at the convoy, muttering to himself.

As Mrs. Tang, holding her groceries, was about to head home, a group of Sha Fei personnel ran forward, swiftly surrounding her.

The leading officer stepped forward slowly: "Zone 11 does not allow the entry of unregistered Spirit Beasts; this rule, are you not aware of it, ma’am?"

"Ding—Detected malice from Chuanyang, Malice Value +2000."

"But sir, this is just a house cat..."

Mrs. Tang didn’t even get to finish speaking before Chuanyang waved his hand, "Take it away!"
