The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 16
Ji Xiuyun looked at his four army commanders. He was not surprised at all.
He only looked at the four of them one by one, and finally looked at the young man who had spoken.
"I remember that you are on vacation," the Marshal said.
The eyes of the commander of the Seventh Army were still shining. He did not look cold in front of his subordinates at all.
His entire body exuded a sense of joy that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Yes, sir!"
The commander of the First Army raised his hand and covered his young colleague's mouth. He had a warm smile on his face. "We just want to see what kind of person is capable of defeating you."
Ji Xiuyun was not angry at his words. These subordinates had followed him all the way up and had been bullied by him for so many years. It was normal for them to be in such a state.
Anyway, after they were done gloating, they would still have to work obediently and be bullied.
Only when there was a certain amount of tension and relaxation could one last long.
The Marshal thought about it and answered decisively, "In the virtual training room."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuyun nodded slightly at them and turned to leave.
The few army commanders looked at each other in disbelief. "He let us go just like that?"
"Losing once is such a big blow to the Marshal …"
"No, I think there must be a backup plan." The commander of the Seventh Army was certain.
"So what if there is a backup plan. Anyway, there is an 80% to 90% chance that they are targeting you." The commander of the Third Army stretched and turned to leave.
"Hey!"
The commander of the Sixth Army pushed his young colleague who was jumping around and urged him, "Go to the training room. Let's go."
Ji Xiuyun listened to the commotion behind him. He walked on the quiet corridor and narrowed his eyes slightly.
What a joke.
Do you need me to beat you up personally?
Do you really think that Yue An is a pendant?
The Marshal was in a good mood. The cold aura around him became stronger.
As he walked, he opened the interface of the memo and opened a new page to record the bad habits of Yue An during fights.
This bad habit of exchanging injuries for injuries must be changed!
When fighting, they did not look at the surrounding terrain and did not have the awareness of using the terrain to their advantage. This must be changed too!
He had to change the fact that he had to rely on instinct to attack and dodge!
In the future, he was prepared to go to the battlefield with Yue An. In that kind of place, this would be a fatal drawback.
Even if the Yue An wasn't willing to fight on the battlefield, he would still have to be on guard against the constant backstabbing of others.
After all, the research value of ancient Earth creatures was higher than his SS-rank gene body.
Even if Yue An had a very powerful killing move, as long as there was someone who desired his existence, he would be taken away one day.
After all, after the end of the Earth era, humans had spent hundreds of years fighting against other intelligent races in the universe. In the end, they had won and obtained the largest living space.
Once humans had a goal, it was only a matter of time before they achieved it.
Unless you grow up as fast as those intelligent humans.
When the Marshal thought about the Yue An's future situation, he looked at the contents of the memo and became even more determined.
Change!
It had to be changed!
If you don't change, you're not allowed to eat snacks!
In the virtual training room, the Yue An suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and sneezed.
The Second Army Commander, who was analyzing and explaining the previous battle video, turned to look at him and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Meow."
The Yue An looked left and right but did not find anything out of the ordinary. He shook his fur and continued to listen obediently.
Probably because monsters were born with a natural talent for fighting, the Yue An understood the little tricks and inducements very quickly. Sometimes, he already knew what to do before the other commanders told him how to deal with them.
Any tricks and inducements would become ordinary once they were exposed.
The Yue An and the other commanders quickly finished watching the entire video. Both sides were eager to fight.
The Second Army Commander looked around. "We don't have the authority to control the Marshal's training room. Yue An won't use it. Why don't you go to my place?"
The remaining two people and the cat had no objections.
The Yue An took the opportunity and jumped onto his shoulder. When he saw that the other party was not wearing a military cap, he regretfully left it on his shoulder.
As soon as they left the room, they met the other four commanders who were rushing towards them.
The four of them, who had once seen Yue An stick a camera into the wall with his claws, were stunned.
"You're here!" The Second Army Commander happily greeted them. "Let's go to my place."
"No …" The Third Army Commander realized something. "Don't tell me this cat is the one who caused our Marshal's downfall?"
The Yue An wagged his tail. "Meow!"
Is there anything you're unhappy about?
The Second Army Commander corrected him. "He has a name. He's called Yue An."
Out of an instinctive sense of caution, the First Army Commander asked calmly, "Is there a battle evaluation?"
"Yes, but I won't show you."
The Second Army Commander led a group of people and a cat into his virtual reality room. "How about this? Who wants to go first?"
Other than the Seventh Army Commander, who was looking at the Yue An curiously, everyone else took three big steps back.
What a joke. Even the Marshal's downfall was a joke. What difference would it make if they went first?
Do you really think we don't care about our reputation?
The First Army Commander betrayed his youngest comrade without hesitation.
"Xiao Qi, go first!"
Let's observe the situation first.
Ji Xiuyun took out the box containing 50 energy crystals from his personal storage and placed it in the car.
Then, he strolled back slowly from the tarmac and went to the office to look through the documents that he had tossed aside before stamping them. Finally, he slowly returned to the training room, put on his helmet, and entered the Second Army Commander's virtual reality room.
As soon as he entered, even the Marshal, who was used to seeing big scenes, was shocked by the sea of people that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Here were all soldiers of the various legions. They were all wearing different uniforms, but they were very orderly. They sat according to the division of their respective legions and their different responsibilities as if they were in a battle formation. They even consciously left an aisle for Tang Wulin.
The virtual reality room had the characteristic of being infinitely extensible. Occasionally, two or three armies would conduct combat exercises together. Therefore, the number of people it could accommodate was quite large.
But now, the number of people here …
The Marshal looked around.
Most of the garrison soldiers who did not have any missions were here.
No one noticed the Marshal's arrival. Everyone was focused on the large screen in the virtual reality room. Occasionally, they would communicate in very low voices.
The Marshal stood at the back and watched as the Seventh Army Commander, who was very happy in front of him, had his three energy cabins torn apart by the Yue An. The Seventh Army Commander's main energy source and backup energy source were all used up. The Seventh Army Commander was announced to have lost the battle at lightning speed.
When the battle evaluation was done, Ji Xiuyun heard the soldiers in front of him talking in low voices.
"The Seventh Corps Commander lost the eighth time …?"
"Yes, after losing the second time, he realized that he had won the second time. The cat … is called Yue An, right?
But in the middle of the battle, a few of the army commanders seemed to have said something to the Yue An. After that, the Seventh Corps Commander has been defeated. "
"Cats are so powerful!!
I saw the latest information released by the Information Security Department. It said that cats are one of the most popular and common pets among the ancient people!!
Pets!!! "
"If they can have cats as pets, the ancient people must be very powerful. They are probably like the Marshal."
"I also saw the information. Even though they are pets, cats are very fierce carnivores. It's just that they are very close to humans."
"But I think the way the Yue An beat up the Seventh Corps Commander doesn't look like it's close to humans at all …"
"I think it's normal. I did a lot of research on ancient Earth. Do you know about a type of aquatic animal called the mantis shrimp?
It's one of the favorite foods of the ancient people. "
"Why?"
"The mantis shrimp can create sparks in the water with one punch!
But it's still served on the dining table. It's said that it's one of the species that was caught and raised on a large scale. "
"…"
"… Huh?"
"Our ancestors are so scary."
"… Sorry, I'm a disgrace to our ancestors' genes."
Even though his ancestral home was in the Milky Way, Mr. Marshal paid more attention to ancient Earth's culture. He quietly listened to the soldiers' discussion.
If it weren't for the fact that he had read the complete information and made a copy of it, he would have believed their nonsense.
Mr. Marshal looked at the battle evaluation on the big screen. He was very surprised that the Yue An was able to improve from Skill D to Skill D in just one hour.
Then, the Yue An seemed to have used Skill D and had an S or even SS-level physical fitness to push the Seventh Army Commander to the ground.
Ji Xiuyun glanced at the resting area. He felt that his young subordinates were starting to doubt their lives.
Mr. Marshal finally picked up his last shred of conscience and entered a series of commands on the translucent air panel in front of him. He then appeared at the front of the spectator stands.
His appearance caused everyone to fall silent.
Everyone knew that the Marshal had lost to the Yue An.
After all, the Marshal's battle record had been hanging there without hiding it. The number of defeats on the record had changed from 0 to 1. It was as if it was clearly telling everyone that their legend had been broken.
But instinctively, the nearly 100,000 soldiers stood up in unison as if they had received an order and saluted.
"Greetings, Marshal!"
Nearly 100,000 soldiers greeted him in unison. Their voices weren't soft, especially when they were full of vigor.
It was deafening, almost deafening for a moment.
The Yue An was so frightened that it scurried into Ji Xiuyun's pocket, leaving only the tip of its tail outside.
An expert who could push an army commander to the ground … No, Gao Mao didn't even have the demeanor of a Gao Mao.
The marshal first returned a military salute to the soldiers and then lowered his head to look at the tip of the tail in his pocket. He felt that the little fellow in his pocket had curled up into a ball, so he turned his head and signaled to the first legion's general who was standing beside him.
The other army commanders announced the disbandment of their troops and told them to go back and ponder over the battle video.
The Yue An only poked its head out when the crowd quieted down. It raised its head and meowed angrily at Ji Xiuyun.
The Marshal thought it was acting coquettishly, so he dug it out of his pocket and rubbed its head. Then, he scratched its chin skillfully.
Yue An's anger quickly dissipated under Ji Xiuyun's skillful cat petting skills. Then, slowly, slowly, it softened into a white, fluffy cat biscuit in Ji Xiuyun's hands.
It had no dignity at all as a cat.
It even made a gurgling sound that represented comfort and safety.
The Marshal looked at the Yue An who was baring its little belly at him.
This was probably the biggest advantage of an SS-level gene body.
It could pick up any skill quickly, including petting a cat.
The Second Army Commander canceled the battle arena and replaced it with a meeting room.
The young man who had been pushed to the ground by the Yue An for a few rounds immediately lay down on the sofa. His whole person exuded a sense of vicissitudes of life and death.
The Marshal glanced at him and sat down on another single-seater sofa. He placed the Yue An in his lap and raised his head to ask, "Have you fought them all?"
"Only Xiao Qi has fought." The First Army Commander caressed his young colleague's head. "We're going to do it in private."
Ji Xiuyun turned to look at the young man who was lying on the sofa and did not move at all when he heard this.
Yue An also turned to look at the First Army Commander who was caressing his dog's head. Then, it looked at the Seventh Army Commander who was lying on the sofa like a corpse.
Yue An was speechless.
'You humans really don't love your companions.
Cats like us will lick each other's fur when we encounter such situations. '
Yue An thought as it lay back down on Ji Xiuyun's lap. It raised its little belly and hugged Ji Xiuyun's hand, nibbling and kicking it happily.
The cat's entire body was soft and soft. Its meows were tender and sweet. It was very cute.
It did not have the ferocious look that it had when it was fighting.
However, the other division commanders were not in the mood to appreciate it. They watched in fear as Yue An's four seemingly fragile claws that could easily tear apart a mecha kicked around the marshal's hand. They were very worried that the marshal would disappear from the virtual reality room in the next second.
However, the Marshal was used to Yue An's playfulness. He did not even notice his subordinates' worries. Instead, he opened the video of the previous battle and began to review and analyze it.
By the time they finished analyzing all 10 battles and criticized the Seventh Army Commander's mistakes and his inability to adjust his state of mind in the face of non-human enemies, Yue An was already sleeping on Ji Xiuyun's lap. It was even snoring softly.
Yue An was in a daze when he felt someone lift him up.
It was a large hand full of calluses. It was warm and familiar. It gently lifted his body up.
Yue An's blue cat eyes opened slightly. After glancing at the person who was carrying him, the tips of his ears trembled slightly. He then fell asleep again.
He was really tired.
The virtual reality room was very energy-consuming. His mind was tense during battle. Furthermore, the virtual reality room caused him to feel pain in his nerves. It was very taxing on his mind.
This was one of the reasons why the Seventh Army Commander's condition was getting worse and worse. In the end, he collapsed on the sofa and did not want to move.
Ji Xiuyun brought his cat into the car and placed Yue An on the soft cushion. Then, he sped all the way home.
Yue An was in a deep sleep. He slept until the next morning.
In the light grey mattress, other than a human figure, there was also a small bump.
The bump walked two steps towards the mattress. Finally, it found the right direction. A small, milky white furball poked out from the side of the pillow.
Yue An turned his head to look at Ji Xiuyun who was gradually waking up. He reached out his paw and slapped the Marshal's face.
The cute kitten's wake-up call service!
Be grateful, human!
The Marshal reached out and grabbed his paw. Then, he pulled him back into the mattress.
Yue An, "…"
Yue An, "???"
Yue An was dumbfounded.
He climbed out of the mattress again. He tidied up the mattress on his body, licked his paw, and washed his face. Then, he jumped onto the Marshal's chest and jumped around on his chest.
The Marshal could not stand the disturbance. He opened his eyes and pointed at the box in the corner of the room.
"Power Crystal."
Ji Xiuyun had just woken up. His voice was hoarse and low. It had a slight nasal sound. His voice was drawn out and sounded very sexy.
However, his sexy voice did not do him any good.
Yue An was the only one who heard his voice. He jumped off the bed, leaving the Marshal, who was almost out of breath. He painfully turned over on the bed. Finally, he could no longer sleep and sat up.
The Marshal was going to be busy with work today.
This meant that Yue An was the only one at home.
Yue An chewed on his spirit stones. He watched as the Marshal changed his clothes after washing up. He felt a trace of spiritual power in his body again. He meowed softly at Ji Xiuyun.
Ji Xiuyun heard him and walked over with his optical computer. He stuffed it into Yue An's arms.
The communicator was still in the living room downstairs. However, it felt like torture to let Yue An stay at home all day without anything for him to play with.
Therefore, the Marshal decided to leave the optical computer behind. After all, he still had the remote bracelet.
Yue An lay on top of a box of spirit stones and looked up at the Marshal.
"Meow!" Yue An reached out a paw towards him.
The Marshal was adjusting his collar and cuffs. When he heard Yue An's call, he responded, "Hmm?"
Yue An received a response. A thin bolt of lightning flashed from the tip of his paw. In the next second, he curled a small tuft of the Marshal's hair.
"Meow!"
Yue An wagged its tail and looked at Ji Xiuyun with its bright blue eyes.
Young hero, since you gave me so many spirit stones, I'll give you a free perm.
Why would I give you a free perm?
