Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Alan did not know how he fell asleep.

After waking up exhausted in the morning, his memory was still on what he was preparing for Orina.

All the residents in the city participated in the festival yesterday. After a whole day of commotion, waking up early was not possible.

At least when Alan woke up, the streets outside were still quiet and there was no sound at all.

Alan, who was still in a daze, suddenly remembered that he did not finish studying the system last night. He opened the system panel in his mind.

Novice stage missions? 99% completion? Where did he leave the remaining 1%? The system did not give him any hints, so he had no idea.

There was also a small gift pack of lifestyle blueprints that he had never seen before.

Alan opened the small pack and three ordinary-looking blueprints appeared in the system backpack.

He took the blueprints out of his system backpack and three thin sheets of paper materialized in his hands. Alan was shocked after flipping through them.

One of the three blueprints was a detailed blueprint for a magic generator that the system modified. The other was a blueprint for the electric lamp. There was also a detailed circuit diagram attached to it. Finally, there was the blueprint for a Mahjong set and an explanation of the rules.

They were all extremely useful blueprints. The generator and the electric lamp were infrastructures that could change the entire hailar continent. Their existence would cause a qualitative change in the industrial structure of the continent.

Mahjong was the national essence of the country that Alan belonged to in his previous life. It was the greatest and most prosperous entertainment activity. China had been around for 5000 years, and Mahjong had been passed down for 4000 years. Time was the best indicator of how popular it was.

However, Alan suddenly frowned. The blueprints were good, but… he couldn’t make them…

In his previous life, Alan was just an ordinary office worker. His job was to organize all kinds of data. He was unskilled to do such technical and manual work.

“Sigh, there’s no other way. I can only put all this on hold for now.”

He muttered as he put the blueprints in his bedroom.

He completed Mission Four, and the system published a new mission. This mission made Alan think.

[ Congratulation to the host for successfully passing the novice stage and becoming a novice brewmaster. Technology is the foundation of development, mission chain published. ]

[ Mission Five, Phase One mission, make Rock City a nightless city. ]

Having a generator and electric light blueprints and the new mission of making Rock City a nightless city, Alan wondered what the system’s purpose was.

Could it be that it wanted him to initiate an industrial revolution in this foreign world?

To change the entire world’s production infrastructure by himself!?

Alan shook his head and tossed out his wild thoughts.

After studying the system, he began his daily routine.

When he came to the winery and was about to try brewing the new drinks, he saw a small crack in the wine cellar door next to him, and his heart suddenly jumped.

Alan’s mind raced as he looked at this unusual scene. The wine cellar was one of the most important places in the entire tavern, it stored all of his inventory.

Alan picked up the broom in the backyard and carefully pushed the door open. As the door gradually opened, he saw the situation in the wine cellar.

Next to the wine barrel on the left side of the wine cellar, he saw a huge cat covered in black fur lying on the ground.

Alan was shocked. This… This was a cat? His eyes lit up with a burning light.

Could this be a gift from the heavens!? To make up for his regret of never being a cat owner in two lifetimes?

Alan curiously went forward to take a look. The more he looked, the more he liked it.

The big cat in front of him was covered in black satin-like fur. It was pure black without a single bit of color.

Suddenly, the big cat in front of him became bigger and smaller with every breath.

Alan clicked his tongue in wonder. Even cats had magic power in this foreign world. This ability to change the size of its body was amazing!

He secretly made up his mind that when the big cat woke up, he would think of a way to keep it in the tavern.

Perhaps because his love for cats gained the upper hand, Alan gradually lost his vigilance. He put down the broom in his hand and walked to the black cat that was gradually shrinking to the size of a normal cat in the wine cellar.

He had an infatuated look on his face and carefully reached out his hand to pet it. He was treating it like he was handling a rare treasure.

After the black cat snuck into the wine cellar yesterday, it drank an entire barrel of high-level magic Lafite. Until now, it had been unconscious for an entire day. It was not only drunk but also because the magic power in its body was too large, it needed time to digest.

Alan’s big hand gently placed on the cat’s back and stroked its fur. After finding that was asleep and had no reaction, he boldly picked up the black cat.

His mouth let out an indecipherable chuckle.

Until it shrunk to the size of a normal cat, he hugged the cat again. Alan finally found out the reason why the cat was so deep asleep.

“Little guy, how much of my wine did you drink?” Alan muttered.

He held the cat in his arms, stood up, and looked around the wine cellar to find out how much the little guy had drunk.

Without much effort, he saw that the switch on the wine barrel in his hand was open. He shook the wine barrel and not a single drop of wine flowed out.

Alan was shocked. He carefully looked at the label on the wine barrel, “100-year-old high-level magic Lafite,” and then reached out to shake the wine barrel again, but there was still no wine. The barrel was empty…

The cat in his arms drank an entire barrel of high-level magic Lafite in one go!

Alan did not know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand, he felt sorry for his wine. On the other hand, he was immersed in the joy of having a cat.

“Forget it. Having a cat is the most important thing. No matter how much it can drink, can it drink faster than I can brew it?”

Alan, who was feeling conflicted, suddenly persuaded himself adamantly.

Then, Alan ignored the mess in the wine cellar and lost all desire to brew new drinks. Now, all he cared about was the little black cat in his arms.

It was not a crime to pet the cat while it was drunk!

Alan returned to the tavern and sat on the sofa in the booth. He gently placed the curled-up black cat, who was sleeping soundly, on the table.

The tablecloth on the table was used as a small nest to cushion the cat. Alan laid on the table and maintained eye level with the little cat, smiling like an idiot.

No one knew how long this “the cat and the human” scene lasted, but when the black cat finally absorbed most of the magic power in its body, it gradually woke up.

Before it opened its eyes, it already sensed its surroundings.

It realized that it was no longer in the cellar, and there was a human close by. It felt a burning gaze.

What was even more terrifying was that this human was creepily smiling at it.

Countless thoughts flashed through the black cat’s mind, debating whether it should pretend to be asleep or run away immediately.

It felt that the magic power in its body improved substantially compared to yesterday, but it could not use it at all!

“Hey, little guy, you’re awake, right? Let’s have a little chat.”

When the black cat woke up, its breathing changed. Alan was perceptive enough to detect it and thus decided to talk to it.

“Don’t pretend anymore. You were shaking unnaturally a few times just now, and the large eyeballs under your eyelids were moving too frequently. These all indicate that you’re awake, and you can understand what I’m saying, right?”

Alan tried his best to keep his voice calm, trying his best not to let his enthusiasm scare the little guy.

Even though the black cat was reluctant, it still opened its eyes and squatted on the table, staring at Alan with its emerald-like eyes.

Then

The black cat tilt its head and meowed with an innocent look.

“Whoa…” Alan held his chest with one hand and took a deep breath. “Who can resist that look…”

The black cat saw that the man across from it was instantly conquered by its looks and muttered in its heart, “Hmph, this meow’s beauty is unparalleled in the world. How can anyone resist it!”

“Forget it, forget it. Since you don’t want to talk, then let’s not talk for now. However, you drank my magic wine, so I can’t let you leave so easily unless you pay. If you don’t have the money to pay, then you have to stay in my tavern and work to pay off your debts!”

After being stunned for a short while, Alan came back to his senses and said seriously.

The black cat’s face stiffened. It realized that it was still unable to use its magic powers and was a little flustered.

It could not guess what the man was trying to do. Besides, the wine here was delicious.

So the black cat raised its head and rolled its eyes. Its face had an arrogant look with no intention of leaving.

Alan’s expression did not change, but he was laughing inside.

Just like that, under his shameless persuasion, the black cat stayed in the tavern..
