Chapter 997: The Black Cat’s Guidance!
Laura started searching through her backpack.
“[Catnip]? That is a peculiar name, but I think I’ve seen it before” she said.
“Have you ever raised a cat?” Zhang Ying Hao tried asking.
“Hm, I did raise one, for a while at least”
“Where’s the cat now?”
“It ate too well and accidentally evolved into human form. It’s currently the captain of my third royal guard squadron”
Zhang Ying Hao and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.
It’s a very real question of how well a cat could eat to the point that it evolved into human form.
“Found it!”
Laura pulled a Card out from her backpack and handed it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan received the card then followed the Card UI’s instructions and placed it over the [Marauding Cat] Card.
A new notification appeared:
[Would you like to consume this Card and help the Marauding Cat evolve?]
“Yes” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Please use 100 Soul Points to facilitate the evolution]
“Take it”
Following Gu Qing Shan’s declaration, the [Catnip] Card slowly shattered into countless sprites of light that were absorbed into the [Marauding Cat] Card.
A few moments later.
A new line of glowing text appeared below the [Marauding Cat] Card:
[The cat’s endurance has been greatly increased. It is about to reach puberty]
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
Seems like I really can help the black cat evolve.
Zhang Ying Hao also sensed the change and said in surprise: “The black cat really is evolving!”
“That’s right, let’s continue”
He looked at the second Card that the black cat could consume.
“Laura, the second Card is——”
“What is it?”
“Erm, it’s called [Touch of Love]”
“What a strange name, let me see”
Laura looked through her backpack a bit, then suddenly turned flushed.
She drew a pink Card from inside and handed it to Gu Qing Shan.
Seeing that strange reaction, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but take a look at it.
The face of the Card depicted an index finger waving at him.
This style...
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI.
Lines of glowing text appeared to display this Card’s properties:
[Control-type Card: Touch of Love]
[This is a mental control-type Card, if you use it to comfort your pets, you can achieve a lot with little efforts]
[This Card is mainly used to express and send your love, its effects are truly extraordinary, capable of...]
Gu Qing Shan didn’t want to read any further and put it directly into the Card UI.
“Consume”
He declared.
200 Soul Points were deducted.
The Card shattered into numerous pink sprites of light that was absorbed by the [Marauding Cat] Card.
A new line of text then appeared below the [Marauding Cat] Card:
[The cat has felt your love, its mental power has grown considerably]
Gu Qing Shan looked at the next Card
——it was called [Indomitability]
Hmm, that is clearly the name of a combative Card.
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
After he informed Laura, she quickly found it as well.
The fusion was successful.
The fourth Card was [Cat’s Agility]
The fifth Card was [Panther’s Speed]
The sixth Card was [Graceful Waltz]
...
“Oh no, Gu Qing Shan, I don’t have the seventh Card”
Laura closed her backpack and said.
“It’s ok, after consecutively evolving so many times, I think he should be strong enough already” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He looked at the [Marauding Cat] Card in his hand.
[Card: Marauding Cat (black fur)]
[If you can give the cat food that fulfills its needs, it will take you to the item you seek]
[Note: This is a cat in its puberty, after receiving ample power, it is steadily growing stronger]
[Note: It’s very grateful to you]
Gu Qing Shan gave the card back to Zhang Ying Hao.
“Try again” Gu Qing Shan said.
Zhang Ying Hao was also very excited to try and tossed the Card out without hesitation.
The Card landed on the ground, turning into a hole.
A black cat climbed out from the hole.
He had grown about one size larger, was in excellent spirits, and had bright lively eyes.
Meow—-
He meowed very happily.
“Precious, come” Zhang Ying Hao joyfully extended his hand, about to hug him.
But the black cat ignored his master and instead ran up to Gu Qing Shan, raised both paws, and bowed.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
This cat sure is polite.
Gu Qing Shan quickly said: “Ah, no need to be formal, after this——”
Before Gu Qing Shan even finished, the black cat had left him and ran up to Laura, hugging her leg with both paws while rubbing his head against her in a spoiled manner.
“Eheh, no need to be that friendly” Laura rubbed the cat’s head and smiled.
Meow~
The black cat called out in a clearly flattering manner, still rubbing against her with his head for a while before he stopped.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down in front of the black cat and cleared his throat: “I have something I need to look for”
Meow
The black cat nodded and waited for him to continue.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “I lost a Card a long time, please help me find it again”
Meow meow meow?
Zhang Ying Hao translated for him: “He’s asking what kind of Card was it, you need to describe it a bit more clearly”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “It’s a large-scale human war system Card, the face of the Card depicts a woman in long white trousers, she’s called Water God”
The black cat peered into the void of space around him.
He doubtfully meowed again:
Meow meow? Meow meow meow meow?
Zhang Ying Hao continued to translate: “He said that the sensation is a bit strange, the information seems a bit obscured and unclear. When did you lose that Card?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Ah, it was several ten thousand years ago”
Zhang Ying Hao: “...”
Laura: “...”
The black cat: “...”
The black cat gave Gu Qing Shan a sidelong glare and meowed with dissatisfaction:
Meow! Meow meow!
“He said that you should mention that first next time” Zhang Ying Hao said.
Gu Qing Shan replied apologetically: “Sorry, I forgot about that, please help me look for the Card”
The black cat nodded.
He crouched down, peering into the void of space with his round black irises.
A few moments later.
The black cat’s pupils seem to have shrunken almost into two tiny thin vertical irises, then suddenly dilated to display a mass of jet-black fog.
Apparently, he has seen something.
Meow! Meow meow meow!
All of a sudden, the black cat raised his paw and pointed in a certain direction.
“He said that it was tough, but he still managed to find it. We need to change directions and fly that way” Zhang Ying Hao reached his hand out to point at the same place the black cat was pointing.
Gu Qing Shan was glad and said immediately: “Laura, turn the ship, we’re heading in the direction that the black cat is pointing”
“Got it, I’ll be in the cabin” Laura said.
She vanished from their sights.
A few moments later.
[The Empress] ship drew a long arc across the space vortex and headed towards a certain unique direction.
At this point, Zhang Ying Hao couldn’t help but ask: “Qing Shan, I’ve never heard of a Card being able to consume another Card to evolve ever before, is this your unique ability?”
Gu Qing Shan was in an extremely good mood so he smiled: “That’s right, there’s only one other person in this Reality that has this ability”
“There’s one person other than you?”
“That’s right, she’s a Card-type lifeform——- although to be exact, it was her that gave this ability to me”
Ye Fei Li then came closer and asked in awe: “A Card-type lifeform? You mean, she can also use this method of consuming other Cards to evolve and grow?”
Recalling Little Dusk’s explanation on how to become stronger, he nodded: “That’s right, she was most likely also able to evolve this way——- since she herself is a Card”
At this point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned silent.
Wait a minute...
I’m a Card as well.
