Chapter 271: Alright, this cat takes back what it just said
“Chubby raccoon, sit still and don’t run around, okay? We’ll go play with you like before after we finish eating, alright?” Seeing Li Li stand up after finishing the canned food, Wei Wei immediately realized that Li Li was preparing to run away. She quickly spoke to soothe him; she hadn’t petted him enough yet, why was the chubby raccoon leaving already?
“Meow meow~ (This cat doesn’t have time to wait for you guys to finish eating here, this cat still has things to do, you guys just stay here for now. This cat will come find you when it has time. )” Li Li said, squeezing out from under Wei Wei’s hand.
He had seen what he wanted to see, and eaten what he wanted to eat. It was time to leave.
“The chubby raccoon is probably planning to go play somewhere else, we shouldn’t stop him.” A Liang, who was at the side, spoke up after seeing this: “Otherwise he’ll feel restricted, and won’t come back next time.”
A Liang knew very well what the chubby raccoon was going to do, and it was precisely because of this that he wouldn’t stop him.
“Is that so? Then Chubby raccoon, you should go do what you want to do.” Hearing this, Wei Wei quickly let go.
She was afraid that if she stopped Li Li this time, he would avoid her when he saw her.
“Meow meow~ (That’s right, this cat is leaving now, you two enjoy your date. )” Li Li said, jumping off the chair and walking towards the outside.
There was still some time before evening, he had to find a quiet place to lie down for a bit. He would buy some abilities in the mall, so that he could earn more resources in the ruins.“Is the chubby raccoon always this individualistic?” Seeing Li Li leaving with his small steps, Wei Wei couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, he’s always been like this.” A Liang nodded in response.
The chubby raccoon came and went like the wind, as if nothing could stop him. They had known each other for so long, and he had never changed.
“Then can you tell me how you met the chubby raccoon?” Wei Wei suddenly asked after hearing this.
“Uh…” A Liang, caught off guard, was stunned for a moment before nodding:
“Sure, it was a sunny afternoon, I was about to ride my motorcycle to work, and then I saw a fluffy thing lying on my car.”
“From that moment on, the gears of fate began to turn…”
“Ah? As expected, I shouldn’t have walked at noon. It made this cat sleepy.” Li Li, who had passed through the bushes, yawned, then looked around and found that there was a park nearby.
He immediately jumped onto a large camphor tree to lie down. He didn’t want someone to take advantage of him while he was taking a nap here.
“Before I go to sleep, this cat will buy some abilities. It’s a shame to have so many Network Coins stored inside without spending them. Using them to improve my strength is the right thing to do.” Li Li muttered as he lay on the branch of the tree, and opened the mall.
He started his “buying spree”. He was no longer the same as he was before; he was now a wealthy tycoon with millions of Network Coins, and no longer had to just stare longingly like before.
“Hmm? What’s this? Element Control, 1.2 million Network Coins? Why don’t you just rob me with a price this high? This cat wants to see why you’re worth so much?”
As Li Li was browsing through the various abilities, a bright red number caught his eye, the “Element Control” priced at a whopping 1.2 million.
He was immediately dumbfounded. Although he had a lot of Network Coins now, compared to this price? He couldn’t buy anything at all. The damn Network was really too greedy, selling an ability for 1.2 million, when all the others were priced around 100,000.
Seeing this, he immediately decided to see what made this thing worth so much.
“Element Control (1.2 million Network Coins): Ability to control natural elements and energy, possesses extremely strong destructive power and amazing strength. (Whether it’s wind, fire, thunder, lightning, rain, or earth, volcanoes? As long as you want, you can make the earth collapse, volcanoes erupt, and oceans roar. Note: The stronger the strength, the stronger the elements that can be controlled. After purchasing this ability, if you can’t reach the level of a natural disaster, it has nothing to do with the mall. )”
“If you put it that way, then it’s really not expensive, on the contrary, it’s very cheap. This cat admits that it was too loud just now, you’re indeed worth this price.”
After reading this, Li Li couldn’t help but take a deep breath and exclaimed, no wonder they dared to sell it for such a high price, it turned out to be the power of a natural disaster.
Although he might not be able to destroy the heavens and earth after buying it, just thinking about being able to control various elements and energies made him excited, didn’t it?
“Buy, buy, buy, not buying such a powerful ability? That’s just stupid.”
Thinking of this, Li Li clicked “Buy” without hesitation.
Suddenly, a faint white light appeared on his body, and then he felt countless particles around him.
The light shining on his body, the water droplets on the tree that hadn’t dried yet, and the ground were all connected to him, as if he only needed a thought to make them all move. Of course, this would consume his mental and physical strength.
Otherwise, if he could control them without any cost? This ability wouldn’t just be sold for 1.2 million, it would have to be sold for at least 12 million.
After all, being able to destroy the heavens and earth with just a thought, how terrifying would that be? The players in the Network would have already sold their iron to buy it, how could they still need to cultivate one by one?
“Sigh! Shopping is really enjoyable for a moment, but it’s a crematorium afterwards. This cat is now penniless again, I hope Matthew can sell the rest of the goods soon. This way, this cat can continue to buy abilities.” Looking at the remaining 70,000 Network Coins, Li Li couldn’t help but sigh.
He thought he had millions of dollars and could splurge in the mall, but he didn’t expect that a casual purchase would immediately return him to his original form.
It seemed that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to be a tycoon in the mall.
But this was all for the future, now he had to take a nap to calm down.
“Ahhh~” Li Li, who was lying down, stretched and closed his eyes.
After two seconds, he started snoring rhythmically.
“Hmm? Where’s that snoring coming from? Honey, do you hear it?” The woman who was walking under the shade of the tree looked around in confusion after hearing it, but she couldn’t see anything.
“I hear it, and it’s quite loud.” The man who was asked nodded, looking in the direction the sound was coming from and said: “It seems to be coming from the tree, maybe it’s some animal sleeping up there?”
“Really? What kind of animal wouldn’t sleep on the ground and go up there to sleep?” The woman asked curiously after hearing this.
“I’m not sure, maybe a squirrel or a cat.” The man thought for a moment and said, then turned his head and said: “Alright, let’s not worry about what’s snoring, let’s go quickly, otherwise it might rain later.”
“Mm-hmm.” The woman, who was peering with her head tilted, immediately retracted her head and quickly caught up with the man.
“Rustle”
“Rustle”
Not long after, it started to rain. The raindrops hit the leaves with a “pattering” sound, waking Li Li from his sleep.
“Ahhh~”
“Why did it start raining? This cat was sleeping soundly, okay? Don’t mess things up like this.” Li Li, yawning, looked at the rain that had become a curtain. He stretched and then waved his paw.
The rain that was falling suddenly seemed to receive an order and quickly dissipated.
Li Li looked at it with satisfaction and lay down again, muttering:
“This element control is quite useful, I won’t have to be afraid of the rain in the future.”
After saying that, he went back to sleep.
When he woke up again, it was Matthew who woke him up.
“Bro Cat, Bro Cat, it’s time, come here quickly.”
“Oh, oh, I’ll be right there, wait a moment, don’t worry.” Hearing this, Li Li yawned and directly clicked on “Teleport”.
The scene in front of him instantly changed into a scene of ruins and broken walls.
And above this ruin, several familiar figures came into Li Li’s view. Li Li immediately stretched out his paw and greeted them:
“Good evening, everyone. This cat just took a nap and accidentally missed the time. I hope I’m not late?”
“No, Bro Cat. The timing is just right, let me introduce you. This is the initiator of this mission.” Matthew said, pointing to a rather ordinary-looking young man beside him.
After seeing him, Li Li stretched out his paw:
“Hello! I’m the captain of the Mini Task Force. Can you tell me in detail what kind of ruins we’re exploring this time? And what are your requirements?”
“For the sake of our fate, if it’s not too complicated a task, I’ll give you an 8.8% discount.”
Upon hearing this, the young man who was smiling and greeting him couldn’t help but be stunned:
“Uh, Captain Cat, did you not listen to your team members clearly? It’s not that I’m giving you Network Coins, it’s that you have to give me Network Coins. And you have to help me obtain the inheritance.”
He was bringing this group of guys into his world to explore the ruins, and he still had to pay them? Then why did he bother looking for them if he had nothing better to do?
“Ah? Is that so?” Li Li immediately looked at Matthew upon hearing this.
Matthew nodded and said:
“That’s right, Bro Cat. He’ll take us into the ruins, and we have to give him 40,000 Network Coins, and also help him obtain this inheritance to the best of our abilities.”
“Uh, Matthew, come over here.” Upon hearing this, Li Li beckoned Matthew with his paw. Matthew felt a powerful mental force pull him over before he could even respond.
“Little Matthew, we’re taking on missions to make money, not to lose money. Why do we have to pay this guy and help him obtain the inheritance? Isn’t this crazy?” Li Li looked at Matthew and said earnestly.
He had always thought that Matthew was a social butterfly and a financial genius, why was he being stupid at this time?
“Bro Cat, listen to me first, don’t worry.” Matthew said, putting his arm around Li Li’s shoulder: “If it was a losing business, I definitely wouldn’t do it, but this time it’s not a loss.”
“Bro Cat, do you know what kind of ruins these are?”
“I don’t know, you didn’t explain it to me either, I thought it was some kind of escort mission.” Li Li thought for a moment and said.
Since he wanted to test their abilities, didn’t that mean he wanted them to act as bodyguards and escort him safely through the ruins?
“No, the ruins we’re going to this time are amazing.” Matthew explained: “His world is a high martial world, just like the Earth Immortal Realm. It’s just that it’s divided according to martial arts realms, from Martial Apprentice, Martial Master, Martial Grandmaster, Martial King, Martial Venerable, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, Martial Sovereign, Martial God, all the way up.”
“And we’re going to the ruins of a Martial Emperor this time, so needless to say, there are treasures inside, just grabbing a little bit will definitely earn back the cost.”
“So that’s how it is, which means we’re buying tickets from this guy, right?” After Matthew’s explanation, Li Li instantly understood what he meant.
“Yes, that’s the idea.” Matthew nodded.
“Since that’s the case, then this cat will reluctantly pay the money.” Li Li said.
In order to earn more Network Coins, he had to spend some money.
“Alright, then let’s go over.” Matthew said.
“Okay.” Li Li nodded in response, and the elf and the cat returned.
“Alright, I’ve explained everything clearly to Bro Cat. Do you want to test our strength next?” Matthew asked.
“It’s very simple, I want to see you guys show your skills.” Hu Xiong, who was asked, said. Everyone’s strength was not weak, just by watching them make a move, he could roughly know their abilities.
“Are you sure you want this cat to show its skills? I’m afraid this place can’t withstand it.” Li Li said upon hearing this.
He wanted him to make a move? He was not the same as he used to be. Once he made a move, this place might not be able to hold up.
“It’s fine, this place is a ruin anyway, you can just make a move.” Hu Xiong said nonchalantly.
“That’s good, everyone step aside. Since he said so, this cat can only show its skills a little.” Li Li said, taking a step forward. As the captain of the team, he naturally took the lead.
“Go ahead, Gluttonous Cat. It seems you’ve become much stronger recently.” Hong Fu said with a smile, and stepped aside.
Ming Ming also took two steps back after seeing this.
“That’s right, watch carefully, let you witness this cat’s strength.” Li Li smiled, stretched out his paw, and slammed it hard on the ground.
“Boom, boom, boom”
“Boom, boom, boom”
Suddenly, the entire earth shook violently, and a huge gap spread in all directions from where Li Li’s paw landed.
It quickly engulfed the entire ruin, turning the ground into a giant canyon.
At the same time, thunder roared in the sky, and dazzling lightning appeared. Huge thunderbolts fell from the sky, striking the earth and making it tremble.
“How is it? This cat’s skills are pretty good, right? Do you want me to show you more?” Li Li asked, standing on a white cloud.
Element control was really useful, with a single move, it was the power to destroy the heavens and earth. It directly changed the surrounding terrain, creating a canyon that stretched for dozens of miles.
“No need, no need, I’ve seen Captain Cat’s skills. It’s indeed terrifying, even more terrifying than what Brother Matthew said.” Hu Xiong quickly replied with a smile, confirming that this was a cat he couldn’t afford to offend.
If he dared to offend him, he would probably be killed directly, right?
“That’s good, Matthew, you guys should also show your skills.” Li Li nodded and landed from the sky.
Although this element control had great power, it consumed a lot of physical and mental strength. He only used it to show off, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to use it so recklessly.
“Okay.” Matthew said, and took out his staff. But before he could chant the spell, Hu Xiong stopped him and said: “I believe in Brother Matthew’s strength, there’s no need for a demonstration. Let’s find a place to discuss the agreement directly.”
Even the captain was so powerful, so there was no need to say more about the team members. There was absolutely no need to waste time testing them here, it was better to directly proceed to the final step.
“Alright then, let’s find a comfortable place to discuss.” Matthew nodded, holding his staff, and the group flew off into the distance.
“By the way, where is this place?” Li Li asked curiously, being lifted by the wind. Why were the creatures in this place so strange? There were many that he had never seen before.
“This is a plane in my world. Because Hu Xiong said he wasn’t comfortable going directly to his world, so I arranged to meet him here.” Matthew, who was in front, explained.
“So it’s the plane you’re explaining, Little Matthew. Does that mean there are evil gods and gods here?” Li Li immediately became interested upon hearing this.
“Yes, Bro Cat. But you’d better not talk about it carelessly. If you talk about it carelessly here, you’re likely to be noticed by someone.” Matthew nodded. The power of evil gods and gods was unimaginable, just by saying their names, they would be quickly sensed.
Even if they were superhumans, it would be no exception.
“Oh, oh.” Li Li nodded his big head in response, his eyes looking around with interest.
This place was good, it could be used as a training ground for the shovel officers in the future. After all, cultivating martial arts still had to be tested, blindly training behind closed doors was useless.
“Everyone, take a look at the agreement. If there’s no problem, please sign your names.” Hu Xiong took out an agreement and handed it to Li Li and the others who were present.
He hoped to have a group of helpers for this trip to the ruins, not a group of competitors, so signing an agreement was very important.
“So besides doing our best to help you obtain the inheritance, everything we find in the ruins belongs to us, right?” Li Li asked while scanning the hundred-word agreement.
The agreement didn’t have many words, he could finish reading it in a few glances. After reading it, he remembered that they had to do their best to help him obtain the inheritance, and they couldn’t attack each other within the ruins.
“Yes, as long as you have the ability to get it, you can take as much as you can. But I’ll remind you, there are quite a few people going to the ruins this time, including the favored children of heaven from large sects and some well-known figures.”
“You’d better act within your capabilities, otherwise, if you provoke too strong an enemy, we won’t be able to deal with them.” Hu Xiong reminded them.
“As long as they’re not too strong, it’s not a problem. This cat is quite confident in its own strength.” Li Li said nonchalantly upon hearing this. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked: “By the way, can Martial Venerable realm guys enter the ruins? This cat has no problem dealing with Martial King realm guys, but if a Martial Venerable comes, it’ll be a bit difficult.”
As creatures of the same fourth tier, he wasn’t very afraid of Martial King realm guys. But if a Martial Venerable came, that would be different, he could only run away in disgrace.
“They naturally can’t enter, this Martial Emperor’s tomb is for selecting a successor. The paths of Martial Venerables are already fixed, and only those below Martial Venerable realm have the possibility of inheriting the inheritance.”
“Besides, the Martial Emperor’s tomb also restricts cultivation, otherwise I wouldn’t have invited everyone here.” Hu Xiong explained with a smile.
If Martial Venerable realm guys could enter, he would run away without hesitation. After all, with a difference of a major realm, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.
The other party could crush him with a flick of their hand, he would only go and fight them if he had nothing better to do.
“Then there’s no problem, this cat still dares to go and give it a try.” Li Li nodded and pressed his paw print.
“We have no problem either.” Ming Ming and the others also signed their names after hearing this.
“That’s good, I’ll invite you in after entering the Martial Emperor’s tomb, this way we can avoid a lot of trouble.” Hu Xiong said with a smile, watching the agreement take effect.
With such a group of foreign aid, he finally had a bit of confidence in the Martial Emperor’s tomb.
“No problem.” Li Li nodded his big head, then said: “If there’s nothing else, let’s disperse, this cat still has to go back and eat.”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Li couldn’t wait to leave.
“Eating can wait, our dear Captain Cat, we have something to ask you.” Hong Fu said, grabbing Li Li and walking towards Ming Ming.
“Hey, hey! I’m the captain now, can you give me some face?” Li Li said, being held up.
What do you think?
