The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 17

There were two big news in the Empire of Sintes today.

The first was that their black-haired Marshal Ji Xiuyun had shaved his hair into a buzz cut.

The second was a video of a cat that was leaked from the military.

There were no secrets in the huge Star Web. No matter how strict the army was, it was impossible to be a monolithic unit.

The photo of the Marshal was released by the media. The neat buzz cut didn't ruin his image. Instead, it was sharper and more masculine than the previous slightly soft hair. A few photos were enough to make thousands of men and women yearning for love unable to close their legs.

In times of conflict, people were always full of a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis made them particularly fond of strong and masculine men who could bring a sense of security and oppression.

For example, Ji Xiuyun, Ji Xiuyun, and Ji Xiuyun.

Once the photo was released, it received praise and flattery from countless fangirls.

After the video of the cat's fight, which wasn't classified as a secret, was leaked, it stirred up countless waves on the already turbulent Star Web.

The physical fitness of the cat was really amazing!

Not only did it break the legend of the Marshal with zero defeats, but it also hung up one of the Marshal's army commanders and beat him up!

The speed that was hard to see with the naked eye, the amazing bite force, and the sharp claws that almost flashed a cold light were simply — — super cool!!!

Ordinary people didn't want to delve into why the Marshal had failed. They were already very excited just by seeing this result.

An unbroken legend would always be a legend. Only when it was broken and surpassed could there be progress.

Their Marshal would go even further after that!

Although this cat called Yue An couldn't be compared to the large cats described in the information.

Although this cat was only a type of pet cat described in the information.

But so what!

Although it was petite and cute, it was powerful!

Do you know what concentration is the essence?

Do you know what a beautiful and powerful villain … No, a kitten is!

Do you know what contrast cuteness is?

This is it!

A small ball!

An explosive power!

It must be so cute to confuse the enemy!

Maybe it can be used to fool the enemy when it meets the enemy!

One appearance has many uses!

Ancient Earth's creatures are awesome!

This kitten belongs to our Marshal's family!

Just thinking about it made him happy!

They had to applaud wildly to show their respect!

The Star Web users were so happy that they were about to jump up and down.

Don't stop!

It would be best if there were such big news every day!

It doesn't matter if we can't touch it or raise it. At least let us see it more!

Looking at the cat in front of the optical computer every day would put him in a good mood for the entire day!

The group of users on the Star Web who were crazily praising the Marshal and the cat as if they were on drugs were having a great time, but the situation offline was much more serious.

Many people saw Ji Xiuyun's new hairstyle because Marshal Ji was going to attend the military court today.

There were two cases related to the Marshal's attendance at the military court.

The first one was about the case of the Marshal being attacked and missing due to the leak of military secrets by a spy.

Secondly, the case of the former deputy of the Marshal accusing the Imperial Research Office would require the presence of the supreme leaders of both parties.

The first case was basically a death sentence for the spy. It was just a simple formality.

But the second case was very likely to become a long tug-of-war.

The Imperial Research Office had a very good public image and had made many outstanding contributions to biological science. Although everyone knew that the Marshal had always been on bad terms with them, because of his good image in the past, most people were distrustful of the accusation against someone who was sentenced to death for the crime of treason.

Without concrete evidence, the lawsuit would be difficult to win.

Ji Xiuyun didn't choose to withdraw the lawsuit.

His idea was very simple. In any case, his Silver Blade was still being redesigned and upgraded, so he couldn't leave the Imperial Planet for a while.

Since he now had a chance to annoy the Imperial Research Office and make them worry about his every move for a few months, why not?

The Marshal was very happy about this and even looked forward to it.

His expectations were so high that they overshadowed the unhappiness of changing his hairstyle.

Ji Xiuyun was very open-minded, but he was also very narrow-minded.

He was willing to accept any questions or suggestions that were positive and reasonable.

But if someone seriously offended him, he would remember it for the rest of his life and would never tire of looking for trouble.

He also didn't like to kill someone with a stick — after all, cutting flesh with a blunt knife was the most painful.

Of course, people like the Imperial Research Office were the type that he couldn't kill even if he wanted to.

Therefore, Ji Xiuyun seized the opportunity to annoy the other party, just like how the Research Department seized the opportunity to attack or annoy him.

Ji Xiuyun was in a very good mood. He looked at the Research Department Head, who had a sour expression on his face, and his mood became even better.

He sensed that the Research Department Head was looking at him, but his expression didn't change at all. He put on a calm and composed posture, as if he was planning a strategy.

The First Army Corps Commander, who was sitting next to him and acting as his secretary, cooperated and handed him a stack of documents.

Mr. Marshal reached out and took the thick documents in his hand, and gently shook them in front of the Research Department Head.

It was as if the thick documents in his hand were the key evidence that he had against the Research Department Head. He gave the Research Department Head the illusion that he had the evidence, so he insisted on going to court to destroy them.

The Research Department Head remembered that his opponent this time was Ji Xiuyun, who had always been blunt and even had some hatred for them. His face suddenly turned green.

Mr. Marshal looked away and slowly flipped through the documents.

The densely packed words on the top were actually all information about ancient Earth from the database of the Information and Security Department. The main content was about the experience of raising cats.

But only God, the Marshal, the Army Corps Commander, and the Research Department Head sitting opposite him didn't know.

While waiting for the court to start, Ji Xiuyun flipped through two pages of documents and looked up at the Research Department Head sitting opposite him.

His face was expressionless and cold, as if he was looking at a dead object.

The head of the scientific research department was so frightened by his attitude that he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had experienced the incident with Ji Xiuyun. The first time the Research Department failed, it was because of Ji Xiuyun. Now, if Ji Xiuyun really had some incredible evidence, he would definitely destroy them.

By that time, none of the senior management of the Research Department would be able to escape.

Ji Xiuyun slowly turned another page of the experience of raising cats. The sound of pages flipping fell into the ears of the Research Department Head sitting opposite him, and it was like a loaded gun.

Mr. Marshal looked at the Research Department Head's pale face and gently tapped on the table. He was in a good mood after being electrocuted by his own cat and had to change his hairstyle.

How dare you have ideas about me and my cat!

I, the Marshal, am not going to scare you to death!

Yue An, who didn't know that it had become a delicious cake in the eyes of some people, ate more than 30 Spiritual Stones in one breath.

It wanted to continue eating, but after looking at the remaining Spiritual Stones, it licked its paws.

Cats always couldn't bear to see their food bowls empty, because that would make them feel very insecure.

So it left the last dozen Spiritual Stones, jumped out of the box with the Spiritual Stones, and tried to feel the Spiritual Qi flowing in the Spiritual Stones.

It had been squatting on the desolate planet for so many years, and the Spiritual Qi it had accumulated was not as much as the Spiritual Qi it had gained from eating more than 30 Spiritual Stones today.

Yue An was a very sensitive cat, and it had always been used to saving its Spiritual Qi for emergencies.

But it was also a young cat, and its control of its emotions was completely different from the old cats in its family.

For example, when it was fighting with Ji Xiuyun, it was impulsive and used up all the Spiritual Qi it had painstakingly accumulated over the years.

Although most of the Spiritual Qi was actually provided by the dozen Spiritual Stones Ji Xiuyun had given it as a tribute a few days ago.

Now that it had finished eating more than 30 Spiritual Stones, its Spiritual Qi had recovered to its previous level, and even increased.

Yue An straightened its upper body and leaned on the edge of the box. It stuck its head out and looked at the remaining Spiritual Stones in the box. In the end, it couldn't overcome its cat's instinct and left some food for itself.

It patted its little belly, and used the walls of the box with the Spiritual Stones as a scratching board. After scratching until they were tattered, it shook its tail and withdrew its paws.

It steadily placed the disc-shaped optical computer on its head and walked down the stairs with its four short legs.

Yue An hadn't played with the cat tree downstairs yet. After the stingy Marshal Ji had shaved its fur and permed its hair, it didn't remove the cover that isolated the snacks before it left. Instead, it added a few more questions.

Yue An had a way to destroy the protective cover, but it wasn't necessary.

Learning tasks with rewards were actually very effective. At least for Yue An, he was quite motivated by the snacks as a reward.

Yue An sat obediently for the whole morning. He memorized the 900 Phrases Commonly Used in Sintes that Ji Xiuyun had given him. He also finished the questions on the switch panel of the protective cover, and took all the snacks inside.

The milky white furball's entire body was inside the large packaging bag, and its tail was exposed outside, swaying back and forth.

He finally ate the last candy in the bag. When he took two steps back, he missed a step and rolled off the sofa with the bag and the optical computer next to it.

Yue An was put into the sweet candy bag. After rolling a few times, it stopped. After a few seconds, Yue An stuck its head out of the bag. It looked around vigilantly with its ears erect. When it didn't see anyone or any cameras, it licked its nose and slowly climbed out of the bag.

It finished its snacks.

It also finished memorizing the first book.

Yue An put the snacks that had been thrown all over the floor into the trash can with its mouth. Then it dragged the trash bag out of the door.

Yue An was a cat that loved cleanliness.

It squatted on the round platform on the top of the cat tree, shook its fur, and licked its paws and fur that were still stained with the smell of snacks.

If it couldn't lick them off, it waved its hand to summon a small stream of water to clean its fur.

The milky white cat was bathed in the sunlight. Its face was illuminated by the dazzling light, as if it was glowing.

Next to the small platform was a floor-to-ceiling window, and opposite it was a large pendulum clock.

Yue An looked at the time and touched its little belly. It thought of the Sintes that it had eaten last night. Its blue cat eyes looked left and right, and finally fell on the optical computer that it had just brought to the floor.

The book that it had learned this morning included the term "takeout".

Yue An remembered that it had agreed to many copyright applications and the money that it had earned from the live broadcasts.

Ji Xiuyun had said that the money belonged to Yue An.

The clever cat jumped down from the cat tree and trotted to the optical computer. According to the book's instructions, it reached out its furry paws and fiddled with the optical computer. After it found the button, it pressed it with its soft paws.

Mr. Marshal didn't need to order takeout, so Yue An couldn't find the software icon that had the word "takeout" in its name.

Now that it could understand most of the common terms, Yue An realized that Mr. Marshal's optical computer was full of so-and-so news, so-and-so fighter jet records, so-and-so virtual military online battle platforms, so-and-so virtual galactic battle platforms, so-and-so records of major events …

Yue An was speechless.

It was the cold and indifferent style of a military officer.

No wonder he took it to the cafeteria.

Okay, no problem, this was very Ji Xiuyun.

Yue An finally moved his gaze to the green picture at the end of the line.

He now understood how powerful this software called Jinjiang was.

If one had a cognitive helmet or a biological cabin, they could connect to this platform and enter the virtual community. Almost everyone had an account on this platform. It was called the second society.

If one didn't have a cognitive helmet or a biological cabin, one could simply do some operations through the optical computer.

For example, they could publish all kinds of works, do live broadcasts, do online transactions, record life, or … order takeout.

Yue An didn't know which dishes were delicious. The names of the dishes on the takeout list were more artistic and more complicated than the previous one.

In the end, Yue An was annoyed and simply chose to sort by price and sales. He chose the page with the best sales from the most expensive one.

Yes, an entire page.

Yue An didn't know that although he had indeed deducted the balance of the platform's income, the optical computer would send a notification to the account that was bound to it.

Mr. Marshal was waiting for the court session.

Mr. Marshal felt his remote wristband vibrate.

Mr. Marshal looked down at the interface of the wristband.

Mr. Marshal saw that 360,000 yuan had been deducted from his account.

Mr. Marshal saw that the 360,000 yuan had been deducted from his account: Takeout.

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

Ji Xiuyun: "???"

The only one who could use the money in his account was Yue An.

I haven't seen him in the morning, and his cat has learned how to order takeout?

Yue An didn't know that Mr. Marshal was at a loss when he received the notification.

After ordering the takeout, he went to check his balance and found that it had increased a lot.

Previously, when he had just reached eight digits, he could only buy a dozen spirit stones. Now, he could buy more than 20 spirit stones.

More than 20 spirit stones!

Yue An was so happy that he rolled around on the fluffy carpet.

Then, he remembered that he had eaten more than thirty spirit stones in the morning. He stopped rolling and curled his two front paws in front of his chest. He stared at the beige ceiling with his belly exposed. He looked like he was in a daze.

How can I eat so much?

More than 20 spirit stones aren't even enough for a day!

A cat that can't leave food for itself is no different from a salted fish!

Yue An knew very well that he couldn't ask Ji Xiuyun to give him an unlimited supply of spirit stones.

After all, he had fought so many mechs yesterday, so he clearly saw that each mech had at least one main energy chamber and two backup energy chambers. Each energy chamber had to be equipped with at least two spirit stones to provide energy.

Ji Xiuyun had so many soldiers under his command. If he could promise to give him 50 spirit stones every month, he must have opened his own personal treasury.

He couldn't touch the military's warehouse!

Although a mine owner's personal treasury must be quite sizeable, he led soldiers to war after all. What if there was an emergency?

Besides, he had promised to give him 50 spirit stones. Yue An was an honest and friendly cat!

Lying on the carpet, Yue An raised his two front paws and rolled around with his head in his hands. Finally, he raised his head, shook his ears, and looked at the page that had appeared on the optical computer.

The Star Web users were still licking the video that was more than 50 minutes long and dancing in ecstasy.

Countless people were crying and begging the marshal to release the cats on his only social media account. There were also people who had secretly climbed over the walls of the kingdom outside of the Cintes Empire, perfectly blending into the ranks of the crying crowd.

At this moment, the holographic projection above the Citizen Square, the largest shopping mall in the virtual community, suddenly turned black.

The music suddenly stopped.

The people around the square who were shopping and chatting stopped in confusion.

After a short period of darkness, a fluffy little head appeared in the middle of the square.

It was looking up at the camera and stretching its head closer to the camera. It was so close that one could clearly see its delicate white fur and pink little nose. Even its small white jade-like fangs could be seen clearly.

It seemed to have some doubts about the current situation. It meowed softly. The meow was delicate and delicate, making one's heart tremble.

He tilted his head and craned his neck as if he was looking at something. Then, he jumped onto the table next to him. The table was filled with all kinds of food and an optical computer.

The optical computer was also playing the scene of the little fluffy ball jumping onto the table.

The little guy seemed to have confirmed something because of this. Facing the camera, it tilted its head and let out a coquettish meow.

In the Citizen Square, the people who were browsing Marshal's social media account through the optical computer stopped breathing. In the silent atmosphere, they seemed to have understood something.

Then, a burst of violent screams broke out in unison.

Ahhhhhh!!!!

It's a cat!!!!
