The Record of Unusual Creature

It turned out that the golden apple could give wisdom to a silly cat, but it could not empower it with cognition. When a cat gained the wisdom of a human but retained a cat’s cognition, the sparks of collision between the worldview of the two species were just spetacular. When she discovered that she could handle the toilet affair on her own and cat litter was no longer needed, reality struck in her not-so-sound mind.

I don’t need cat litter anymore.

Because of that, the poop scooper has lost his meaning of existence.

Hao Ren is dying.

This magical three-paragraph inference scared the wits out of the naive maiden.

The silly cat wiped her tears away as she held on to Hao Ren’s trousers, crying. This was no ordinary cat’s reaction. Due to the intelligence and emotional complexity required, ordinary cats would not have had so much affection towards their masters. No ordinary human behaved that way too, because humans who possessed a proper worldview would not take the post of “poop scooper” seriously. However, the ordinary demonic cat did. She took it very seriously, and sadly. Her feelings were complicated enough that she could understand the intimate relationship between her master and herself. However, her cognition was just simple enough that she had no clue what mankind did for a living.

Hao Ren forced a smile after he figured out the logic of Rollie’s thinking. His first reaction was to grab the silly cat by her neck. He was about to spin her around twice, but he hesitated. Then, he decided to slowly explain to the silly cat what kind of complex beings humans were, and that changing cat litter was just a trivial part of human life. Life was definitely not made up of only “preparing food for cats” or “changing cat litter”.

But the more he explained it, the sillier he felt; he could not believe that he was actually explaining these things to a cat… This whole thing had been illogical from the beginning. Every word felt utterly ridiculous, but he had to try not to laugh!

Rollie listened quietly and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. “You’re not lying lie to me? You’re not dying, are you?”

Hao Ren was almost out of breath. “Why would I die? When will your worldview become normal?”

“I don’t know what a ‘worldview’ is, but what Big Cat does daily is give me food and clean my toilet.” The cat girl blinked and her tail finally relaxed. “Does Big Cat have something else to do daily?”

“Since when was my exciting life simplified into two parts in the eyes of a cat?” Hao Ren grabbed his head, feeling that his value of life was being challenged. “Can anyone of you who understand the worldview of cats explain this to me?”

Everyone around immediately shied away, declining to have anything to do with the edgy topic.

Hao Ren held the cat girl up and wiped the tears off her face with his hands. The latter blinked nervously. “Poop Scooper, are you sure you’re not going to die?”

Hao Ren forced a smile. “I’m not going to die… I didn’t mean to die in the very first place.”

The cat girl nodded, feeling assured. “Oh well, then give me a little dried fish.”

Hao Ren replied, “…Do you have something else in mind?”

“Whar about a large dried fish?”

“There’s no fish in the house!” said Hao Ren, shooting the silly cat a glare before he took out a piece of ham from his Dimensional Pocket and shoved it in her hand. “Eat this… and tear off the wrapper before you eat!”

The silly cat stuffed the ham into her mouth with the plastic wrapper on. “Why does it taste so bland?”

Hao Ren sighed. He helped the cat girl remove the wrapper and said, “I’ve been doing everything for you since day one. Now, it’s time for you to do everything on your own. You have to solve problems on your own, and learn how to use chopsticks. Don’t eat like a cat anymore.”

While eating, something suddenly crossed the silly cat’s mind. “Poop Scooper, are you thinking of abandoning me? I can find my own food outside, just let me come back home to sleep at night…”

With arms akimbo, Hao Ren found the cat irritating, but he was not angry. “Did I say that? What I mean is, from now on, you have to learn to use your current physical form to live. You can now do many things, which I did for you in the past.”

The cat girl nodded with only a vague idea of what Hao Ren meant, but she seemed at ease now. The cat was a sensitive creature; a slight negligence from the family could land her into trouble.

Hao Ren looked at the silly cat and said, “Also, I have to tell you, please don’t call me by that name again. Look at how messed up your worldview is now.”

“I don’t understand,” said the cat, swallowing down her ham. “I’m Rollie, you’re Poop Scooper. They sound good. It’s not good to change them.”

She stretched her head, rubbing against Hao Ren’s arm as she purred. “Rollie and Poop Scooper are together. I’m very full and not cold, so I’m fine.”

Hao Ren grabbed the silly cat’s head and pushed her away. He could feel that the cat was not as stubborn and lazy as before. In fact, she was very simple: the most complex cat was simpler than any human being. By nature, she would occasionally get annoying. But when one had become familiar with her nature and could communicate with her, anyone would perceive the simple nature of this cat.

After all, all she cared about was small dried fish—big dried fish at most.

Hao Ren pondered for a long while and finally thought of a name that Rollie could accept, a name she had just called him too. “You can just call me Big Cat… At least that’s better than Poop Scooper.”

“But there are too many big cats.” The cat girl blinked. “I can’t tell which is which.”

Hao Ren was hapless.

However, the cat girl thought for a moment and came up with an idea. “I’ll call you Big Big Cat.”

Hao Ren became very interested. “What do you mean?”

“The most powerful big cat,” said the cat girl as her eyes glowed. “Because you’re very good in foraging!”

Hao Ren thought for a moment and realized that it was because he was responsible for buying groceries and bringing food back home… In a cat’s worldview, it was an achievement worthy of the King of Cats accolade.

Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief after finally solving the cat’s problem. He turned and found that Vivian as well as the others were staring at him in a quirky manner. He shrugged and said, “I ran out of options. Educating the cat is a gradual process. Bombarding her with too many words will only confuse her.”

“But the name ‘Big Cat’ doesn’t really go anywhere,” Vivian scowled. “Now we’re all big cats.”

Lily squinted at Vivian. “Be grateful. Have I told you that I’ve been called a silly big cat from the beginning?”

Everyone sighed, thinking that the girl was really broad-minded.

At this time, the MDT suddenly flew over and rammed into Hao Ren. “Still busy with the cat?”

“Just finished.” Hao Ren reached for the MDT. “What is it?”

“Let’s go to the spacecraft. You may want to see the progress in the laboratory’s cultivation tank.”

Hao Ren was elated. “The Seed of Origin’s been cloned?”

“As badly as you want it, but there are just a few organs.”

Even a few organs were enough to make him feel overjoyed. Hao Ren was going to the spaceship to check out the results. However, there was someone more excited than him: Y’lisabet had just finished her studies and overheard the word “spaceship” when she passed through the living room. She suddenly cheered. “I want to go too!”

Hao Ren waved his hand. “Let’s go together and see how the organs of the Seed of Origin look like.”

Vivian knitted her brows together. “It somehow sounds weird when you talk about it. Hey, don’t be in such a hurry, let’s take our breakfast first!”

After breakfast, everyone departed, leaving Rollie at home. Big Beardy was told to keep an eye on the silly cat in case she ran out again. They then teleported to Kuiper Station.

The entire time it was docked at the bay, the Petrachelys faithfully carried out the remote commands given by its owner. It had already produced the first samples of tissue in the laboratory. These tissue samples were grown from the cells extracted from the Divine Sarcophagus.

When they arrived at the spaceship’s laboratory, they saw the weird-looking organs moving slowly in a huge crystal container.

That was if they were indeed the organs of the Seed of Origin.
