The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 50
Marshal Ji felt a little distressed these days.
In fact, his cat had been working very hard recently. His teacher's progress was also very smooth. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any distress.
But distress did exist.
And this distress came from his cat that had suddenly worked hard.
The situation was like this.
His cat had been practicing a new skill recently.
This was good.
There was nothing wrong with it.
But Yue An's new skill had caused a lot of accidents during its practice.
Although Ji Xiuyun had already experienced a round of shocks when he had been practicing levitation, invisibility, and shrinking, this time it wasn't any better.
Marshal Ji sat at the conference table. Suddenly, he felt a weight in his jacket pocket.
He paused slightly, calmly took out a few pieces of candy that had suddenly appeared in his pocket, and put them on the table.
The generals who had stayed behind to guard the base were all stunned. They stared blankly at Marshal Ji, who had suddenly taken out candy.
"Continue," Ji Xiuyun said as if nothing had happened.
Actually, Ji Xiuyun didn't quite understand why he had been practicing Universe in the Sleeve. No, in the cat form, it was Universe in the Fur.
Why would practicing Universe in the Fur, a skill that was said to shrink things and hide them in the fur, cause accidents like small practice props randomly appearing all over the room?
For example, when he was at home, some strange things would often fall from the sky.
Or when he sat on the sofa or bed, he would be kicked by something.
Or when he was walking around the house, he would suddenly kick something.
These things were mostly snacks that Yue An used as practice props, or small things that Yue An casually grabbed for practice.
When he was in cat form, the things that fell from the sky were mostly small nuts and snacks. When he was in human form, there were all kinds of strange things.
Pens, notebooks, books, cups, combs … Last night, Ji Xiuyun had suddenly appeared in front of him without warning. In the end, he had punched the sofa cushion into pieces.
Of course, these were all small problems that wouldn't cause much of an impact.
What made Marshal Ji more distressed was that his cute little cat had been practicing this skill. As a result, strange things would always fall from its body every morning during their routine morning practice.
It was like this when he was in human form, and it was also like this when he was in cat form.
Ji Xiuyun couldn't describe how he felt when he picked up the cat and stroked its fur, and some small nuts, candies, and fur models would fall out.
Looking at Yue An's blank expression, it was obvious that he didn't expect to see these things.
The impact was too great!
Marshal Ji thought.
Not only strange strange problems during morning practice, but also when Yue An's's little belly, when it was on his legs and 'mered's it be rubbed.
Marshal Yue An Yue An Yue An Yue's, Yue An Yue An.
Yue An Yue
Yue, Yue An Yue, Yue An Yue ue ue Yue Yue, Yue
When the cat shook its fur, it could toss out a small box of snacks.
It was a cat, but it lived like a treasure bowl.
In reality, this was because when Yue An was practicing, some things might have really shrunk into the small space in his sleeves or Mao Mao. Some things that had shrunk went to unknown places, and some things simply disappeared and moved to a corner of the house in the next second.
No one knew which ones had really succeeded and which ones had flown to some corner of the house.
Even Yue An himself didn't know.
This was because he hadn't had the time to practice the skill of taking out hidden things. The reason he hadn't practiced this skill was that he didn't know what he was hiding in his sleeves and fur.
Yue An, who had not been successful in his practice, was unwilling to give up.
Today, Ji Xiuyun had promised him that he would take him out to play after he was done with work. For the sake of convenience, he simply brought him to the headquarters first.
Little Kitty, who hadn't mastered Universe in Hair and Universe in Sleeve, worked tirelessly to practice this very useful skill while Marshal Ji went to the meeting.
He was different from Ji Xiuyun, who did not understand why this accident happened. Yue An knew very well why this happened.
In essence, Heaven and Earth Sleeve was a type of spatial magic.
Simply put, it was to create a small space in the place where the item was to be hidden, shrink the target item, and then hide it in that small space.
This spell was a little complicated, and he had just started practicing it. Whether it was opening a small space, shrinking, or transferring, he had not figured it out yet.
But he knew where it would go in the end. It was closely related to the thoughts he had at that time.
For example, when he thought of the bed, the item would run to the bed. When he thought of a certain room, the item would run to a certain room. When he thought of Ji Xiuyun, the item would appear anywhere within half a meter of Ji Xiuyun.
Therefore, he was not surprised that the target item would run all over the room. After all, there were only a few places that he was familiar with that could perfectly appear in his mind.
Because Yue An was not familiar with this skill, he could not consciously control the small space to be completely sealed. Therefore, some items would always fall out of his body.
But this skill must be practiced.
In the past, Yue An only needed to lie on his belly and bask in the sun lazily. Now, it was different.
He was now a heavyweight in the galaxy!
A beautiful young cat that was coveted by billions of people!
Yue An felt that it was very necessary for him to carry an arsenal and a storage of spiritual stones with him — no matter if he was in the shape of a human or a cat.
Ji Xiuyun finished listening to Marshal Ji's report. When he was about to speak, he felt a weight in his pocket.
This feeling was too familiar.
It was so familiar that Marshal Ji was already used to it.
In order to prevent weird things from popping up in his pocket and breaking his pocket, Marshal Ji reached out to touch the things in his pocket. Then, he placed the pen that suddenly appeared on the table.
Then, he put on an expression as if nothing had happened and began to speak calmly.
Yue An was practicing in Marshal Ji's office. When he realized that items were disappearing one after another, but they did not appear anywhere else in the office, he withdrew his claws.
He felt a little guilty.
Because his mind was filled with questions about why Ji Xiuyun was not back yet, he could guess where the items that disappeared went.
They must have gone to Ji Xiuyun's office.
Yue An decided not to continue practicing.
He lay on his side on the table and wagged his tail leisurely. His blue cat eyes looked around and finally landed on the pen holder and cup on the table.
His evil little claws were ready to move.
He looked around. A pair of sharp cat ears stood up alertly. He did not turn around. Instead, he lay on his stomach and slowly crawled towards the cup.
After moving forward a little, he still had to stop and listen for any sounds.
The soundproofing in this office was too good. There were two guards standing outside the door. Every five minutes, a patrol team would pass by the corridor.
Yue An carefully and painstakingly trudged to the cup. He stretched out his furry claws and gently pushed the cup to the edge of the table.
The sound of the cup rubbing against the table was very pleasing to Yue An's ears.
His ears trembled. He looked up at the door and pushed the cup off the table.
The floor was covered with carpet, but it was not as thick as Ji Xiuyun's home. The cup did not break when it hit the ground. The lid did not fall off, but it made a "dong" sound.
Yue An's little head poked out of the table. He looked down at the cup that rolled on the ground. He then looked at the flat table. He felt indescribably comfortable.
After he was satisfied, he turned to look at the pen holder beside him. He stretched out his claws. He could no longer control his messy hands.
When Ji Xiuyun came back from the meeting, his cat had already swept all the things on the table to the ground.
Fortunately, there were not many things on the table. Yue An was smart enough not to touch the important documents.
In just a few seconds, Ji Xiuyun, who was used to cleaning up the mess, had already picked up everything on the ground.
Marshal Ji walked to the front of the table. He saw his cat lying on the chair with its paws in the air, exposing its little belly. A cognitive helmet covered him, indicating that it was in operation.
It was a civilian helmet.
Obviously, Yue An had gone to the virtual community to make his presence known.
That was true.
Marshal Ji put all the pens in his hand into the pen holder and thought.
A sense of accomplishment and vanity were both emotions that could motivate people to improve.
Compared to repetitive and mechanical practice of fighting techniques and special skills, Yue An was obviously more interested in winning and losing, as well as being able to climb up the leaderboard.
Over the past few days, Yue An had not been modest at all. He had been crazily dominating the leaderboard in the battleground area. Although he had not made it into the overall leaderboard, he was still a rising star.
The media was not stingy with their reports and Marshal Kevin's smiling face. It was obvious that Yue An's performance had been outstanding recently.
As the new star's teacher, Ji Xiuyun's reputation among the public had also risen to another level.
Although Marshal Kevin insisted that his cat's potential was mediocre, no one believed him.
The media had even started to talk about the future of the Empire and the second Ji Xiuyun.
Marshal Ji pressed the notification button outside his helmet. When he noticed that Yue An did not exit immediately, he realized that Yue An was probably in the middle of a meeting. He pulled a chair over and sat down to read the meeting notes again.
The main topic of this meeting was the government's request.
They insisted on continuing to advance in order to take down the resource-rich galaxy next to the 18th Galaxy.
Before Ji Xiuyun had met Yue An, the little Emperor, or more accurately, the government, had been itching to take down another galaxy.
Their confidence probably stemmed from Ji Xiuyun's success last time.
In less than 20 years, he had taken down a galaxy. This was a rare and glorious achievement in the history of the universe.
Only those who had seriously studied Ji Xiuyun's war cases would be able to discern the most fundamental reason why Ji Xiuyun was able to sweep through an entire galaxy like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
That was because the Emperor at the time had given him absolute trust and support.
That Emperor had truly given Ji Xiuyun all his passion and hope. He had given Ji Xiuyun money, soldiers, and resources. He had given whoever he wanted to send out soldiers.
In those ten years, Ji Xiuyun acted swiftly and decisively. Towards those who could not be put in an important position in the army, he would just leave it at that, but he would also bring up a string of people who could really lead troops. This kind of almost barbaric purge, in the eyes of any person in power, was no different from a rebellion. However, Ji Xiuyun did not suffer any criticism.
At the time, even Marshal Kevin had been fully mobilized. He had only stayed on the Imperial Planet for a year. The rest of the time, he had fought alongside Ji Xiuyun on two fronts.
However, the main battle commander at the time was Ji Xiuyun, and Marshal Kevin had been a partner.
However, there were also many hidden dangers in taking down a galaxy at such a terrifying speed. For example, the Free Army that was developing like the sun in the 18 galaxies, or the widespread epidemics and poverty caused by the government's inaction, and so on.
Therefore, the entire upper echelons of the military rejected their request.
The people below them did not know, but how could they not know?
If they continued to fight under these circumstances, it would not be a problem that could be solved by fighting on two fronts. They would be attacked from both sides, and their supply lines might even be cut off.
However, different professions were like different mountains. In addition, the government sometimes pretended not to understand even if they understood, so no matter what the military said, they pretended not to hear.
Fortunately, this was not something that could be done just because one side wanted to. The military was determined not to take action, and the government could not forcefully kick them out.
However, while they could not attack a new galaxy, it was necessary to suppress the rebellion in the 18 galaxies.
The production of the Silver Blade was already halfway done. Yue An's military record was already prepared. He would be directly placed in the army once he reached the top ten on the overall leaderboard.
There was not much time left for Ji Xiuyun to prepare.
In such a situation, he would have to recall all seven corps commanders under him. He might even have to borrow two generals with solid achievements from Marshal Kevin's subordinates for that to be enough.
After Yue An received an A-level battle evaluation, he was notified that someone was looking for him. He logged out of the virtual community and jumped onto the table. He immediately saw the holographic image of the galaxy floating on the table. The holographic image was densely packed with information.
Ji Xiuyun was staring at the galaxy map. His hands did not stop moving. From time to time, he would pull down a few pages of information and jot down some important information on the system interface.
Yue An did not disturb him. He squatted beside him obediently. He did not even make a sound. Even the sound of his breathing was soft.
It was very rude to disturb someone when they were concentrating on something.
Yue An quietly lay down and quietly looked at the dazzling starlight.
Marshal Ji did not forget that he had promised Yue An that he would take him out to play.
Ji Xiuyun was not surprised that Yue An had chosen not to disturb him.
He knew that Yue An was very sensible when it came to such small details. He did not seem like a cat that had been separated from human society for many years.
Every time this happened, he would be so obedient that people could not help but want to hug him and give him a good hug.
After he finished writing and saving the first module, Marshal Ji closed the system interface and turned his head to look at Yue An.
"How long have you been practicing Universe Creator today?"
When the milky white kitten heard this, he knew what Ji Xiuyun was going to do.
Yue An raised his two paws and straightened his body. The thick fur on his body looked like small mushrooms. He looked as soft as a cotton ball.
This time, Marshal Ji did not give him a high five.
Ji Xiuyun picked up the kitten.
Then he shook it.
A bunch of candies and snacks fell out of the kitten's body. There were also a few pens. Finally, a soft and super cute milky white doll fell out of the kitten.
It was a cat doll.
It looked exactly like Yue An, and the feel of it was also very similar.
Marshal Ji was very familiar with this doll. This doll was based on Yue An's image. He had seen it when he was out some time ago and bought it to put in his office.
He would rub and pinch it whenever he was free.
Yue An reached out his paws and hugged the doll that was as big as him.
Then he looked up at Ji Xiuyun.
Ji Xiuyun also looked down at him.
Yue An stared innocently at his blue cat eyes. He opened his mouth and meowed at Ji Xiuyun. "Meow ~"
Marshal Ji's gaze wandered between the real cat and the doll. He pursed his lips slightly.
"It's a doll," Marshal Ji explained dryly. "It feels good."
Huh?
Yue An was stunned for two seconds. He didn't understand why Ji Xiuyun had to explain.
Ji Xiuyun also didn't know why he had to explain.
He felt awkward as if he had bought a blow-up doll and was caught red-handed by his partner.
Although it wasn't very appropriate, it wasn't that bad.
Yue An came back to his senses. He seemed to have realized something. He jumped down from Ji Xiuyun's hands and started to open Ji Xiuyun's desk drawers one by one.
Then he saw a doll that looked exactly like the one in his arms in the second drawer from the top on the right.
To be honest, the one that Yue An had shaken off was actually the one that Yue An had bought yesterday.
He didn't expect Marshal Ji to have also secretly bought one and even confessed to it.
Yue An squatted in the drawer and looked at the two dolls of the same model. He then looked up at Ji Xiuyun, who had betrayed him.
Marshal Ji, who also realized this, looked down at him and didn't say anything. He was speechless.
The situation was very awkward.
After about ten seconds, Yue An was the first to come back to his senses.
In order to prevent the human and cat from looking at each other until the end of time, Yue An meowed softly at Ji Xiuyun.
He rubbed against the two dolls, jumped onto the table, and reached out his paw to Ji Xiuyun, who was sitting in front of the table.
He actually bought a doll when he had a real cat at home.
No one would believe him even if he told them.
They had never seen a more stupid poop-picker.
The milky white kitten pasted its paw on Marshal Ji's face.
You can squeeze my paw!
Don't be shy!
I won't take your money!
