The process of buying the smartphone went exceptionally smoothly.
It’s just that Lu Zixun didn’t quite like the phone he purchased.
Lu Zixun mused that he, too, could play games and such.
After all, there was so much money in his system, he could afford to become a Cat King if he wished.
However, Zeng Haoyang had more traditional thoughts and, after estimating Lu Zixun’s age as a cat, bought a phone with mediocre specifications.
"Ding—Detected a suppressed laughter value increase of +4000 from Xiong Kang."
Holding the phone box, Lu Zixun sat sullenly in the passenger seat.
Upon hearing the system’s notification sound, he turned back resentfully and glanced at Xiong Kang.
After a while, Lu Zixun called out.
Zeng Haoyang, who was driving, looked at Lu Zixun in confusion, turned the steering wheel to the left, and asked, "What’s up?"
Lu Zixun, gathering his words, said gravely, "Is the sto actually really poor?"
"The sto’s annual budget is in the hundreds of billions, where does the notion of poverty come from?"
After glancing at the navigation, Zeng Haoyang straightened the steering wheel, his expression somewhat puzzled.
Dissatisfied, Lu Zixun raised his paw and tapped the phone box in front of him.
Lu Zixun complained, "Then why did you only buy me a smartphone that’s less than three thousand, can’t you provide me with a quality life?"
"Ding—Detected a smile value increase of +4000 from Zeng Haoyang."
"Ding—Detected a suppressed laughter value increase of +4000 from Xiong Kang."
Lu Zixun glanced at Zeng Haoyang, then turned back to eye Xiong Kang.
He now suspected that these two had some sort of cat disease.
"Boys are raised frugally, and girls lavishly, what quality life do you need?"
Zeng Haoyang said indifferently and added, "Besides, with all sorts of speech on the internet these days, you, a little kitten with an underdeveloped mind, should spend less time online."
Hearing Zeng Haoyang’s well-reasoned words, Lu Zixun’s face was covered with black lines.
It felt like his cat soul was distressed.
Sitting in the back seat, Xiong Kang also couldn’t help but interject, "Moreover, other families’ cats don’t even use smartphones."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun suddenly didn’t want to talk anymore. He buried his head in his chest, sulking to himself.
They had only just arrived at Xiong Kang’s house when they saw two members dressed in sto uniforms, standing at the door with guns.
Xiong Kang looked rather upset. He glanced at his watch and then got out of the car.
"Captain Xiong, we are here under the headquarters’ orders to pick up the Orange Cat and take him to headquarters."
As the person continued speaking, Xiong Kang raised his hand to interrupt.
With an unfriendly expression, he said, "As far as I’m aware, you should have appeared here at six in the evening, not at midday, twelve o’clock."
The two men, who were there to escort rather than pick up, looked at each other, at a loss for words.
"Scram." Lu Zixun, sitting on Zeng Haoyang’s shoulder, said coldly.
"Ding—Detected a displeasure value increase of +500 from Ye Guxin."
"Ding—Detected a displeasure value increase of +500 from Ye Si."
Both surnamed Ye, eh? Looking down upon them from above, Lu Zixun’s gaze became eerily deep.
With a sneer, Xiong Kang drew his seven swords which hovered behind him: "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Leave quickly if you don’t want to die here."
Feeling the killing intent emanating from Xiong Kang, which didn’t seem fake, the two men nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.
Watching the two men’s retreating figures, Lu Zixun whispered into Zeng Haoyang’s ear, "The ones out to kill me are this kind of trash?"
As Zeng Haoyang walked into the house, he shook his head upon hearing this, "They’re just cannon fodder tasked with escorting you. Killing them would only confirm your identity as an external enemy. The real assassin coming for you... is at least a B-level Genetic Optimization Soldier."
After confirming it once more, Lu Zixun felt a lot more relieved, "Then that’s not much of a problem, logically speaking they shouldn’t pose a threat to me."
"Ding—Detected Xiong Kang’s worry +4000."
Xiong Kang lifted his arm to touch his chin, looking up at Lu Zixun, he said, "Don’t take it lightly, you still need to be careful."
Nodding nonchalantly, suddenly Lu Zixun felt a pain in his head as Zeng Haoyang raised his hand and knocked him.
"What Kang Ning said makes sense, remember that."
Speaking grumpily, Zeng Haoyang advised, "A small trick, and you might fall for it if you’re not careful. By then, even Kang Ning wouldn’t be able to save you in time."
Afraid Zeng Haoyang would knock him again, Lu Zixun hurriedly responded.
Sitting on the couch, connecting to WiFi, and installing the communication app.
Beside him, Xie Da, looking at Lu Zixun holding his phone, was full of shock.
"Ding—Detected Xie Da’s shock value +500."
Lu Zixun lifted his head to glance at Xie Da but ignored him and continued installing the app.
Beside him, the stunned Xie Da thought for a bit, as if he’d come to accept this somewhat fantastical scene.
Taking out his phone, he scurried to sit next to Lu Zixun and said, "Orange Cat boss, which communication app do you use? I’ve got them all, let’s add each other as friends."
Watching the man and the cat quickly hit it off, Zeng Haoyang and Xiong Kang exchanged glances, both spontaneously smiling.
While the two were discussing Lu Zixun’s night patrol duties.
Lu Zixun, holding his phone in his mouth, ran over, "Add me as a friend, huh?"
"Ding—Detected Xiong Kang’s smile value +4000."
"Ding—Detected Zeng Haoyang’s smile value +4000."
Adding Lu Zixun as a friend on his phone, Xiong Kang suddenly remembered the message Lin Qiang had just sent him.
Smiling, he said to Lu Zixun, "In a few days your owner will come to see you, I’ll take you to her then."
Upon hearing Lin Siyin would come, Lu Zixun paused, then quickly realized.
Lu Zixun was ecstatic.
Running around the room, "Really? Really! When will she come?"
Xiong Kang placed the screenshot of the plane ticket that Lin Qiang had sent in front of Lu Zixun.
Beside him, Zeng Haoyang also said with a smile, "I’ve had someone check on Lin Siyin’s recent situation. At the beginning of next month, she will take her Piano Sixth Level test, and after that, she might be able to pick you up."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun felt the dawn of hope filling his vision.
Finally, he would be able to return to Lin Siyin’s side. He wondered if Lin Siyin had missed him lately.
"So, don’t get hurt during your night patrol."
Looking at Lu Zixun who had finished viewing the screenshot, Xiong Kang took back his phone, crossed his arms, and said, "Otherwise, not only would it be tough to explain to Lin Qiang if you’re injured, but it would also be a major issue if it affects your owner’s exam performance."
Lu Zixun still took to heart Kang Ning’s repeated advice.
Having enjoyed a royal treatment at home,
Two members of the Ye Family had been waiting outside the door for some time, watching coldly for Lu Zixun to come out.
Putting his phone into the case in his right hand, Lu Zixun greeted the people in the room.
With murderous intent in his eyes, he walked out.
