Free Web NovelChapter 341: Chapter 319: Mistaking Him for an Ordinary Dog?
The hallway was a bit long. After a full five minutes of walking, the Black Cat finally stopped and let out a low, "Meow."
Even though it could talk, meowing was instinctual, a part of its very being.
To avoid being discovered by the creatures in the dark, the livestream’s lighting activated another piece of advanced tech.
Even though the area was pitch-black, the livestream could clearly show Wen Ying and the Black Cat’s movements, as well as where they were headed.
It was a door, with a window to its side.
The window was an old-fashioned wooden one, the kind you prop open with a stick.
Right now, the window was propped open a little.
The Black Cat was positioned right in that propped-open space.
Although she couldn’t see anyone, Wen Ying reached out and knocked lightly on the door. "Anyone here?"
There was no response, not a single sound.
Wen Ying reached out and gave the door a push. Unexpectedly, it wasn’t latched and swung open with a light touch.
After entering the room, Wen Ying felt along the wall and, sure enough, found a light switch.
She flipped it on.
Lined up against the wall were rows and rows of bottled mineral water, looking as if they had been purchased from outside.
There were also some packs of instant noodles and spicy strips.
[My god, I can’t believe it’s not just me who loves spicy strips. These weird creatures like them too?]
[Spicy strips and instant noodles are hard currency! Looks like I’ll have to bring some wherever I go!]
[Say no more, I’ve already ordered a hundred bucks’ worth of spicy strips and three hundred of instant noodles! As for mineral water, I’ve already stockpiled two cases!]
[Holy crap! The commenter above is intense! Are you prepping for the apocalypse?]
[This little bit is nowhere near enough for an apocalypse. Haven’t you guys read any apocalypse novels? People in those sell their houses, their cars, everything they own to stockpile supplies! But first, you need the space to store it all, or you’re a goner either way.]
[For regular people like us, having ten grand is already like being rich, but what can that even buy? If the apocalypse really comes, we’ll just have to leave it to fate!]
[You guys carry on! I’ve already started chowing down on some spicy strips! I’m having kimchi-flavored ramen, and it’s damn good!]
When Wen Ying saw these items, her eyes lit up.
’This is a godsend.’
’But there’s still a cat on the windowsill...’
’This cat is willing to listen to me for now because of the dried fish. But it’s still an NPC from the mental asylum; it won’t let me take this stuff.’
"Little Black, do you like to eat this stuff?"
The Black Cat shook its head, looking unimpressed.
It had no appetite for this kind of food. The only thing it desired was this human’s dried fish!
"Then I’ll eat it. You don’t have a problem with that, right?"
The Black Cat just stared at Wen Ying without a word, simply fixing its gaze on her.
Wen Ying pulled two cans of dried fish from her pocket. "You must be hungry, Little Black?"
The moment the Black Cat saw the canned fish, it instantly turned its back to Wen Ying. In a peculiar voice, it said, "I don’t see anything."
Wen Ying’s eyes lit up.
She spent another 10,000 reputation value to redeem ten cans of fish!
She placed the cans on the hallway floor, and just as expected, the Black Cat instantly vanished from the window.
Wen Ying looked at the five boxes of spicy strips. Satisfied, she took them.
Then she looked at the five boxes of instant noodles. Still Satisfied, she took them.
These five cases of mineral water didn’t take up much space either. She took them.
[My god! Just how big is Doctor Wen’s Space Talisman?]
[Doctor Wen, can you put the Space Talisman up as a lottery prize? I really, really want one, wahhh!]
[With a Space Talisman like that, you could go out robbing people and never get caught, right?]
[Hey, commenter above, watch what you say. This livestream is packed with people. You’re being closely watched now.]
[Joking, joking! I’m really just joking!]
["Nice joke, but don’t make it again."] An account with a username like "So-and-so Police Department" suddenly commented.
This time, the person who mentioned robbing was genuinely scared. They sent a flood of bullet comments to apologize, promising they were a good, law-abiding citizen.
When the livestream viewers saw that a police account was actually in the chat, they all started watching their words more carefully.
At the very least, certain problematic words could no longer come out of their mouths.
Looking at the now-empty room, Wen Ying clapped her hands, very Satisfied.
’This trip was well worth it!’
[Doctor Wen is so hardcore! She didn’t leave a single thing for them!]
[She’s ruthless, but I love it! Those things are our mortal enemies! Why should we let our enemies get what they want?]
As Wen Ying left the room, she casually flipped the lights off on her way out.
Sure enough, the Black Cat was still there, eating the canned fish. That look of pure bliss on its face... it was clearly eating the most delicious thing in the entire fog.
