Chapter 73: Preparation Plan

“Gurgle~（ Why? Brother Cat, are you injured? Is it serious? ）” Matthew asked with concern after hearing this, not understanding why Brother Cat suddenly couldn’t even do such a thing. How badly was he injured?

“Meow meow~（ Who told you I was injured? I’m not injured. ）” Li Li said, feeling a bit baffled. Why did the other party think he was injured?

“Gurgle~（ Then why can’t you even open a can, Brother Cat? It’s such a small thing. ）” Matthew asked.

“Meow meow~（ I’m saying, is there a possibility that I’ve always been bad at opening cans? Because I’m a cat, my fingers aren’t as flexible as human fingers. ）” Li Li replied weakly.

After hearing this, Matthew was silent for a long time: “Gurgle~（ What do you need me to do, Brother Cat? ）”

How embarrassing for a fairy, it was simply too embarrassing for a fairy. He hadn’t expected that he would actually forget such a thing and foolishly ask Brother Cat about it.

“Meow meow~（ It’s very simple, you just need to use a test tube to put a tube of Evolutionary Potion for me. This way, I can bite it open with my teeth, wrap my tail around it, and pour it into the cup. ）” Li Li said while listening to the sounds from the kitchen.

“Gurgle~（ No problem, very easy. ）” Matthew replied, and set about doing it.

“Meow meow~（ Right, Matthew. Do you have any magic that can turn the color of the Evolutionary Potion transparent? ）” Li Li asked. He suddenly remembered that the Evolutionary Potion was green. Even if it was poured into a cup, it would be very conspicuous. Although his shovel officer was a bit stupid, he at least had a brain.

How could he possibly drink it when he saw the green water?

“Gurgle~（ I’m afraid that’s not possible, Brother Cat. You can’t cast spells on things that are mailed. ）” Matthew explained. To prevent people from using mail to harm others, the Comprehensive Network made all mail immune to magic.

Any enchanted items sent within three years would have their magic removed before being sent.

Therefore, there was no way for him to cast a spell and then send the potion to Brother Cat.

“Meow meow~（ What should we do then? If we don’t hide the color, it’ll be too conspicuous. My shovel officer might not fall for it. ）” Li Li started to have a headache. How could he drug his shovel officer without hiding the color? Wouldn’t it be exposed immediately?

“Gurgle~（ Are you planning to give the Evolutionary Potion to your servant, Brother Cat? ）” Matthew asked. To give it to Brother Cat’s shovel officer? Then he must be Brother Cat’s servant. As expected, Brother Cat’s background wasn’t simple.

“Meow meow~（ Yes, my shovel officer’s body is very weak. I just came back, and he sprained his ankle. I’m afraid that after a few more missions, I won’t see him anymore. ）”

“Meow meow~（ So, I plan to make him stronger, at least not d*e so early. But I don’t want him to know, that’s why I asked for your help. ）” Li Li nodded and said.

“Gurgle~（ If that’s the case, I have an idea. ）” Matthew said after listening, looking at the large container next to him.

“Meow meow~（ What idea? ）” Li Li asked.

“Gurgle~（ According to what you said, Brother Cat, your servant’s body is very weak, so there’s no need to give him the Evolutionary Potion directly. The transformation process is very painful. ）”

“Gurgle~（ My suggestion is to use water to wash the remaining Evolutionary Potion in this large container. ）” Matthew said.

“Meow meow~（ You mean give him the water used to wash the container? ）” Li Li immediately understood what the other party meant.

Wasn’t the other party suggesting giving his shovel officer the water used to wash the container?

“Gurgle~（ Yes, Brother Cat. Let him drink this diluted Evolutionary Potion first to adapt. After he becomes stronger, then give him the undiluted Evolutionary Potion. It won’t be so painful then. ）”

“Gurgle~（ And the color of this water used to wash the container isn’t so dark, only slightly green. ）” Matthew said, looking at the foamy water in the container. The color was light, and the reaction after drinking it wouldn’t be very strong.

It was very suitable for someone who was weak but needed to become stronger.

“Meow meow~（ What you said makes sense, let’s do it your way. ）” Li Li agreed after thinking about it.

His shovel officer’s body was indeed weak, and even Matthew, a forest elf, was howling in pain after drinking it.

Wouldn’t the shovel officer d*e from the pain if he drank it? Taking the diluted potion was indeed a good idea.

“Gurgle~（ Wait a moment then, Brother Cat. ）” Jumping onto the large container, Matthew said as he scrubbed the walls of the container with a boar bristle brush.

Since it was for Brother Cat, he had to work hard to scrub clean the remaining potion attached to the container.

“Meow meow~（ Okay. ）” Li Li nodded, and a plate of steaming pig liver appeared before his eyes.

“Li Li, wait a moment, the pig liver will cool down soon.” Li Hao, who put down the pig liver, hopped onto the bed and said.

“Meow meow~（ I know, you go to sleep quickly, so I can drug you. ）” Li Li muttered, looking at Li Hao. If the other party didn’t go to sleep, how could he drug him?

“Gurgle~（ Brother Cat, I’m all done here. ）” Matthew said, placing rows of bubbling test tubes on the shelf.

“Meow meow~（ Okay, send it over. I’m waiting for my shovel officer to fall asleep. He just made me dinner and is still sitting next to me. ）” Li Li said, looking at Li Hao who was looking at his phone.

“Gurgle~（ I’m so envious of Brother Cat’s every day, even having a servant to cook for you. ）”

“Gurgle~（ One day, I’ll also find some humans to serve me. ）” Matthew was almost crying with envy.

“Meow meow~（ He’s not really my servant, we have a mutually dependent relationship. ）” Li Li explained.

“Gurgle~（ Brother Cat is too modest. I’ve already sent the Evolutionary Potion. Remember to check it, Brother Cat. ）” Matthew said, not believing Li Li’s words at all.

In his opinion, Li Li was so strong, it was normal for him to have a servant.

“Meow meow~（ Okay. ）” Li Li replied, and saw an email in his inbox.

Opening it, he saw rows of test tubes inside. It seemed that the water used to wash the container wasn’t just a little bit.

But this was also good, because the Evolutionary Potion inside wasn’t green at all. Now the shovel officer definitely wouldn’t notice.

“Ah ah ah~”

“Li Li, I’m a bit sleepy. You keep an eye on the pig liver, eat it once it cools down. Don’t leave it for too long, it won’t be fresh after a while.” Li Hao yawned and said, then covered himself with the blanket to sleep.

Hopping up to the twelfth floor with one foot had really tired him out. Now he needed a good rest.

“Meow meow~（ Sleep, sleep, you’ll become a brand new human when you wake up. ）”

Li Li said with a smile, looking at Li Hao who closed his eyes. Then he jumped off the bed to eat the pig liver. After being hungry for so long, he could finally eat some meat.

Not long after, in the room, a strong tabby cat was holding a test tube with its tail as if it were a flexible hand, pouring a tube of potion into a white porcelain cup.

Then it put away the empty test tube and returned to its pink cat bed.

“Mimi, Mimi.”

“Mimi, where are you?” In Sleepless City at night, two figures, one big and one small, were shouting and searching for the cat in their memory.

But no matter how they shouted, the chubby figure never appeared.

“Dad, is Big-Faced Cat not here? We’ve been shouting for so long, and haven’t seen him?” Yue Yue asked, looking at the crowded street, her face full of disappointment.

“I’m not sure either. Let’s ask the stall owners on the roadside. Maybe they’ll know about Big-Faced Cat.” Qiang Ge suggested. Big-Faced Cat lived nearby. Many vendors should know about him. If they asked them, maybe they could find out something.

“Let’s go ask then.” Yue Yue nodded, and ran towards the Roast Duck Restaurant not far away.

Seeing this, Qiang Ge immediately chased after her.

“Little beauty, want some roast duck?” The bored owner of the Roast Duck Restaurant immediately greeted them enthusiastically when he saw customers coming.

“I want half a roast duck, and I also want to ask you something, boss.” Yue Yue nodded and said, looking at the owner.

She had bought roast duck from him before, so he wouldn’t refuse to tell her about Big-Faced Cat, right?

“Sure, tell me anything. As long as I know, I’ll definitely tell you.” The owner smiled as he put on his gloves and took a roast duck out of the oven.

“It’s like this, boss. Is there a tabby cat with a very big face around here? Do you know where he’s been recently?” Yue Yue asked nervously as she watched the owner chop the roast duck.

“You mean the chubby cat with a very big face who can eat three bowls of cat food in one bite?” The owner asked. A tabby cat with a very big face? Besides Fat Plum, there didn’t seem to be another one in this area.

“Yes, yes, that’s him. Boss, do you know where he is?” Yue Yue asked excitedly, seeing that the other party knew.

“I don’t know. That chubby guy used to come around every afternoon, but I don’t know what’s going on these days. I haven’t seen him recently.” The owner replied.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t seen that chubby cat these days either. The other party’s question had really stumped him.

“Then where does Fat Plum live, boss?” Le Le was a little disappointed that she didn’t get the information she wanted, but then she continued to ask.

“Where does Fat Plum live? That chubby cat seems to be a stray cat. If you ask me where he lives, I really don’t know.”

“Ah? Fat Plum is a stray cat?” Yue Yue was stunned.

“Yes, at least in the years I’ve been running this shop on this street, I haven’t heard of anyone raising such a fat tabby cat.” The owner nodded and said, handing the roast duck to Yue Yue: “But you can also ask around the academy. I heard that chubby cat also wanders around the academy.”

“Is that so? Thank you, boss.” Yue Yue said, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the owner suddenly thought of something as he looked at her anxious back, and hurriedly shouted:

“Little beauty, you……”

“Boss, how much is half a roast duck?” At this moment, Qiang Ge appeared and asked.

His 1.9-meter height and his figure blocking the streetlight made the owner’s next words get stuck in his throat.

“Boss, can you hear me?” Qiang Ge asked when he saw that the other party wasn’t responding.

“I…… I can hear you. Half a roast duck is eleven yuan.” The owner replied, shrinking his neck.

“Okay, I’ve transferred the money.” Qiang Ge showed the payment interface and said, then quickly ran towards his daughter.

“That was scary. I thought he was here to cause trouble.” The owner wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he watched the other party’s retreating figure.

The other party was wearing a suit, but he looked like a big bear. It scared him to death.

“Yue Yue, why did you stop? Aren’t we looking for Big-Faced Cat?” Qiang Ge, who arrived at the west gate of Lantian University, asked Yue Yue who was standing in front of the gate.

“I am looking, but I found this here.” Yue Yue pointed to a poster on the wall and said.

“Hmm?” Hearing this, Qiang Ge followed the direction his daughter pointed and saw a furry big face and a striking slogan above its head: “This cat is seriously overweight. Please do not feed it casually. The academy has special food for him. Don’t be deceived by his pitiful look.”

“This is Big-Faced Cat? I didn’t realize he was so famous at Lantian University.” Qiang Ge couldn’t help but laugh. There was even a notice posted at the gate. It seemed that this Big-Faced Cat was indeed a cat from the academy.

But, did the academy consider Big-Faced Cat’s feelings when they did this?

“Who wouldn’t love Big-Faced Cat?” Yue Yue said, and walked inside.

She couldn’t wait to see Big-Faced Cat. She wondered if Big-Faced Cat had forgotten her during this time.

“That’s true. Who wouldn’t like that round face and his personality that anyone can touch?” Qiang Ge agreed, and followed his daughter into the school.

“Excuse me, do you know where Fat Plum is in the academy?” Yue Yue walked along the road, looked around, and soon stopped a female student who was walking towards her.

The female student who was stopped turned around and pointed, saying:

“You’re looking for Big Fat Plum? It’s a bit hard to find him at this time. He’s either at the entrance of the cafeteria or at the entrance of that dormitory, begging for food.”

“Is there any way to know Fat Plum’s exact location, sister?” Yue Yue blinked her pitiful eyes and said: “I really want to play with Fat Plum, please, sister.”

She didn’t know how many dormitories there were, let alone where the cafeteria was. If she searched aimlessly, she might miss Fat Plum.

Looking at her pitiful eyes, the female student felt a little touched. But just as she was about to agree, she suddenly remembered that she had something to do:

“Little sister, I’m in a hurry to go out now, I can’t help you. But I can give you the phone number of the academy’s Animal Protection Club. They’re responsible for taking care of the stray cats and dogs in the school.”

“If you want to find Big Fat Plum, you can definitely find him by calling them.”
