Chapter 114 Probably Not
When Xiaozhen got out of school, Chen Yuxin was squatting at the school's fixed cat feeding point, distributing cat food as usual.
After experiencing the chaos of the disappearance of the son of Heracles, the central figure of the incident could be said to be unconscious. Now she has a ruddy complexion and looks very good, thanks to her sleeping all the way. For this girl, now her brain only has a vague impression of three psychopaths chatting with her.
The meowing school cats were circling around her, and next to her stood an old woman, helping with the cleaning.
"Yan Zhen, do you want to feed the cat too?" Chen Yuxin saw him and asked loudly.
Xiaozhen shook her head. The old woman behind her smiled at him.
“This is Granny Lin,” Chen Yuxin said, “a volunteer who often comes to the school to help.”
"Hello, Granny Lin."
"Hello, classmate." Granny Lin said with a smile. At this time, a fat cow cat ran to her side, its belly swaying, looking very cute. She couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the cow cat and saying, "I have never seen this cow before."
"She's new these past two days!" Chen Yuxin seemed to know everything. "She's a female cat who loves to fight."
"The cow's belly is so big, it means it's about to give birth."
"Yes." Chen Yuxin took out her phone and took a picture of it. "A few senior schoolmates and I prepared a cardboard box with soft cushions to use as its delivery room. We will find someone to adopt it after it gives birth to kittens."
Granny Lin nodded and said, "The weather will soon be cold, you are so thoughtful."
Chen Yuxin said: "After all the kittens are sent away, we will sterilize the mother cat. We have registered all the sterilized school cats. In fact, there is a school cat fund in the school, which is raised by students spontaneously."
"You are really amazing." Grandma Lin said with a smile, "My granddaughter could not have thought of so many things before."
"Your granddaughter?"
"Yes, my granddaughter Murray. She also likes small animals like cats and dogs." The old woman said softly, "She used to go to this school. She was the same age as you at that time."
Chen Yuxin tilted her head: "That's our senior!"
"Yes." Granny Lin whispered, her eyeballs trembling slightly, her gaze resting on the words "No. 4 Middle School" on Chen Yuxin's school uniform, and then she fell silent. Xiaozhen saw her mouth curled down, bent down, and gently stroked the cow cat's forehead with her bony hands, and the cow cat looked up coquettishly. She touched very lightly and slowly.
Xiao Zhen heard a strange noise in her brain, which was a spontaneous reaction to the heavy emotions. The old woman's emotions were a kind of grief, but mixed with a kind of gentle tenacity. Xiao Zhen had touched the emotions of countless Homo sapiens. The grief of most people was like a muddy swamp. Once you step into it, you will feel suffocated. But Granny Lin's grief had a vague light, warm and soft, like an old light in a dim room.
A gentle soul with a strong will, Xiao Zhen thought.
I still have to ask about what Teacher Feng asked me to do.
"Fan Yingjie?" An Yuan said, looking at Xiao Zhen. "Yes, this kid hasn't come to school this semester. I don't know what happened."
"Mom, how much do you know about Fan Yingjie?"
"The kids who do very well in school do better than you." An Yuan emphasized the latter sentence.
" Besides ?"
"It seems like we have a pretty good relationship." An Yuan nodded, "I really don't know anything else."
"Fan Yingjie has a very good relationship with my brother." Yan Zhu, who was passing by, leaned over and said.
Xiao Zhen asked her: "How did you know?"
"Because he once came to my house to play with me." Yan Zhu said.
"oh."
After failing to visit Fan Yingjie that day, Xiao Zhen asked all of her classmates and family members, but there was basically no useful information.
Even Fan Yingjie's closest classmate Gao Yuan didn't know what was going on, so it was normal for others not to know. Xiao Zhen decided to visit him again this weekend. This time he had to see him in person no matter what. He didn't believe that he couldn't find out the reason.
He returned to the room and saw Mr. Cat sitting in front of the fur ball greenhouse box, observing the fur ball kingdom.
In fact, this mysterious Mr. Cat is constantly refreshing Xiao Zhen's cognition. At first, Xiao Zhen thought it was just an ordinary heart-eating demon of the same race that possessed a native cat. Then one day, it suddenly turned into the Eye of Supervision that everyone in the galaxy feared. Mr. Cat's vague explanation made Xiao Zhen think it was just an ordinary spy of the Eye of Supervision. The tentacles of the Eye of Supervision spread throughout the galaxy, and occasionally hiring one or two heretics like the Heart-eating Demon could barely explain it. At that time, everything was still within common sense.
But the day before yesterday, Mr. Cat suddenly told him and Captain Madara that he actually had the right to mobilize most of the resources of the Eye of Surveillance's office on this planet, even including the space fortress hanging in orbit that could destroy half of the city with one shot .
Xiao Zhen was very suspicious. If things continued like this, Mr. Cat might claim that he was actually a great mentor or lord of the Eye of Supervision, and that a cough could destroy a galaxy. This made him secretly gather with Captain Madara to think about whether he had offended this old man during their time together.
After thinking carefully for a few minutes, Captain Ban said that if Mr. Cat wanted to throw them into the furnace as fuel, he could have done it long ago, but he has not moved yet, which shows that this noble cat does not want their lives yet.
"Don't be too optimistic. Maybe our Overseer is particularly gentle and kind."
Xiao Zhen nodded, recalling Mr. Cat's order to fire at the Wisdom Goddess in the fortress. This old cat is indeed very gentle and friendly. Anyway, he can't escape Yan Zhen's body, so it's better to be open-minded and cherish the present day.
He came to the greenhouse box and saw that the Furry Kingdom was still as lively and infighting as ever.
The insect fungi that Xiao Zhen spread a few days ago have begun to thrive. They are stacked like corals, with bright blue-green appearance, and piled on the surface of the stones. Some hairballs come and go in front of the stones. Xiao Zhen noticed that they would pick off the larger ones and carry them to the warehouse to dry, leaving the smaller ones to continue growing. This is a very simple way to develop agriculture sustainably. The insect fungi farms of each hairball are all very colorful, only the black hairball's farm looks the smallest.
"Because the black ball's farm was robbed by the white ball and his friends." Mr. Cat explained.
"Robbery?"
"After the tower challenge a while ago, the black and white fur balls are now enemies. Wasn't there a black fur ball that was attacked by itself? Then the black fur balls wanted revenge, so they took the initiative to launch a revenge war against the white fur balls, but they encountered the coalition forces of the white fur balls and the gray fur balls on the battlefield, so the black fur balls were beaten up again. The two coalition forces also looted the black fur balls' farmland and stole nearly half of the insect fungus species."
"...That sounds really miserable." Xiao Zhen sighed.
"Of course one family cannot defeat the combined forces of two families."
Xiao Zhen asked, "But I remember that during the tower challenge, the brown ball and the black ball were allies. Didn't the brown ball help the black ball when it was attacked?"
"Oh, the brown ball and the red ball have formed an alliance. They probably realized that the black ball can't be a strong helper, so they decided to find a new one."
“It’s really sad.”
"Yes, you can see a lot of fans crying and shouting in the comments of the live broadcast that their CP has collapsed again. The black-brown CP is dead."
“…”
"It's pretty good. Because the black fur balls are the most miserable right now, they have attracted a group of mother fans who feel sorry for them and give them rewards every day." Mr. Cat nodded with satisfaction, "I hope the black fur balls can continue to maintain their pitiful appearance."
"..." You really deserve a beating for your face of cutting leeks. Xiao Zhen decided to change the subject, "Where is Captain Madara? How is his cat-headed caterpillar?"
Mr. Cat said: "No progress. In fact, it doesn't have any more money to spend."
"Where is Captain Madara?"
"He was here just now, but now he's out."
"You said Captain Madara..."
"What?"
"Will it be desperate enough to borrow money?" Xiao Zhen said with some concern. "There are so many tricks in credit loans nowadays."
"Although its brain is now similar to that of its host, I don't think it will..." Mr. Cat's tone also became uncertain, "I don't think so..."
"Well, I don't think so..."
Captain Madara was preoccupied at the moment.
The caterpillar was lying on its back, with its little head poking out. Whenever Captain Ban saw its pitiful and lovely posture, he wanted to take a hundred photos of it and post them on the pet forum to let all players see how cute it was.
But no matter how it posts, players on the forum will only respond coldly: "Oh, it's a common species." "Worthless garbage." "A pet that's meaningless."
They simply didn't understand the value of this cat-headed caterpillar. Upon seeing this kind of comment, Captain Ban had the urge to jump up and crawl along the network cable to force them to admit that his caterpillar was the cutest pet in the galaxy. Because of this unwillingness to accept, he made up his mind to cultivate his cat-headed caterpillar until it evolved.
It has a feeling that this caterpillar has a unique quality, but people have not noticed it yet. As long as it can raise it to a certain stage, this caterpillar will be able to transform itself, and those who laugh at it and look down on it will certainly realize how shallow their vision is. And it can also confidently prove to its two companions that it is not a leek that has fallen into the trap of consumerism, but is investing in a planned and purposeful manner.
But raising a pet requires money.
What Captain Madara lacks most now is money.
It looked at its account and saw that the number was pitifully low. It could no longer afford the cost of the caterpillar's evolution.
An advertising window popped up, and it was the common Star Loan advertisement.
"Star Express Microfinance will help you out of your urgent need!"
"Loan small loans, win credibility!"
"We can go bankrupt, but you can't be short of money!"
Three or four small loan ads popped up at once, each with more attractive words than the last. With the widespread use of Galaxy Big Data, as long as the StarNet account is below a certain value, the system will automatically push various small loan ads. Captain Ban closed three of them in a row, and several more popped up. He simply clicked on one of the ads and started reading.
It looked at several of them.
No collateral or proof is required, as long as you provide your StarNet account and mailing address, you can get a loan. Captain Ban calculated that it would need to borrow the maximum amount of funds from at least five interstellar small loan companies at the same time to meet the current evolution costs of the cat-headed caterpillar. The problem is repayment. Now it has no repayment ability, and can only fill the hole by looking for other small loan companies to repay the loan in a cycle, and continue to accumulate interest. If this continues, it will be at least a million in debt in a year.
I'm not crazy. Captain Ban calmly closed the micro-loan advertisement.
…
…
Thirty minutes later, after some careful consideration, Captain Madara headed to the Aomine Building.
Boss Han asked with a smile: "Captain Ban, what a rare guest. Aren't your two roommates here today?"
"I'm the only one who came to see you today."
"What can I do for you?"
"Actually, I..." Captain Madara said with difficulty.
"Um?"
"Excuse me, boss, is there any work available? I want to work!"
