Zhang Zian was not sure how to deal with this elfin. He couldn't just give it to Sheng Ke, but if he let it go, he worried that it would continue telling cats to steal things.
It said that it wanted to go home with Fina. Zhang Zian laughed and said, ”Forget it. I suggest you return to your previous owner.”
The Cat from the Book made a ”pfft” sound in disdain. ”Never! She doesn't own me anymore. Someday, if she loses everything to that filthy man, and comes begging to me in tears, then I will…”
”You will forgive her?”
”Forgive her? Huh! No! I will laugh at her, ask her kneel in front of me, and then I will turn her into a slut...”
”Wait a second! What do you mean by slut?”
Zhang Zian was surprised by this cat's awful character, which was more terrible than even that of the parrot elfin.
”Wow! Are you saying you don't know what 'slut' means? Come on! Don't lie to me!”
”I know what it means. She was your owner once; is it really necessary to do that to her?” Zhang Zian tried to explain himself.
The Cat from the Book walked by him and approached Fina, smiling humbly. ”Your Majesty, please allow me to be at your service. I will do way better than this filthy man. I will test your food to see if there's poison inside. I will lick your fur when it becomes messy because of the wind blowing. I will be your punching bag whenever you are upset and mad…”
”Wait!” Zhang Zian interrupted it, ”It's wrong to use others as punching bags when you lose your temper!”
Fina was actually thinking very seriously. ”Fur-licking is unnecessary. But I do need a servant…” It stared at Zhang Zian resentfully, ”I'm not satisfied with my current one.”
”I am not your servant, remember? We are equal.” Zhang Zian corrected Fina.
Still no fur-licking? The Cat from the Book smacked its lips full of regret, but then said vigorously, ”Your Majesty! I will be a good servant! And one day, I will be able to lick your fur!”
”Uh... Fina you can't be serious, right?” Zhang Zian said, ”This cat could be a big troublemaker...”
Fina was serious, ”Well, I do need a qualified servant. Back in the old days, I had so many servants, and right now, I only have you, a lousy servant. What a shame!”
While Zhang Zian was trying to persuade Fina to give up the idea of bringing the Cat from the Book home, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He thought it was a message sent by someone. But when he unlocked the screen, he found that there was no signal at the underground garage. The Pet Hunter game had initiated automatically, and its interface had occupied the whole screen.
[Game Tip]: Congratulations! An elfin has been defeated by your elfin and pledges its allegiance. Do you want to accept it as your pet?
Below the game tip were two options, written with ”yes” and ”no”.
How did this happen?
”Navigation Elf, what's going on?” He was asking the Navigation Elf who could be reached 24/7.
[Navigation Elf]: As I said, the Cat from the Book has been defeated by your Maneki-neko and pledges its allegiance. You can take it as your pet, or you can waive your right to do so.
”What will happen if I choose 'no'?” he asked again.
[Navigation Elf]: If you choose 'no', it will become a free elfin again, and will appear on the detection radar of this game.
What should he do? If he took it as a pet, and this Cat from the Book only liked females, then how could he increase its likability? Did he have to…? No, no way!
”Navigation Elf, is there a third option?”
[Navigation Elf]: No. But for the defeated elfin, if its real name had been unlocked by its previous owner, you don't need to unlock its name again.
”What?” Zhang Zian was confused.
