The Business-Minded Cat

Lifting his cat's paw, Xia Yu felt his own whiskers.

Agility referred to flexibility and cleverness, meaning the skillful or quick use of one's hands or other bodily movements.

This skill was highly practical and played an important role in activities such as painting, playing the piano, and so on.

Intimidation was another skill cats possessed, likely due to their fur puffing out when threatened. The purpose of puffing up was to make their bodies appear larger and intimidate opponents.

This was also a practical skill. In modern society, violence was unacceptable, but conflicts were inevitable. With intimidation, conflicts could be resolved without violence.

As for night vision, it wasn't very useful, as electric lights had already conquered the darkness.

This cat was a treasure.

Satisfied, Xia Yu nodded and took a step away from the glass. There were too many people here, and he felt insecure as a giant creature in their eyes.

Moreover, this place wasn't suitable for gaining experience in agility.

Taking a few steps, he heard people discussing him.

"Mom, that cat is walking on two legs!" an excited little boy pointed at him.

Xia Yu, who was used to walking on his hind legs, put his front legs down.

Arriving at a remote alley, he decided to start practicing.

Agility was more important than intimidation at the moment. If he wasn't mistaken, agility could speed up piano learning, and his orc notebook could be brought to him at a faster rate.

A cat's agility was showcased in hunting and running, but since there was no hunting target, running was the only option.

The question was, how should he run?

Humans used to crawl on all fours when they were infants, so walking on four legs wasn't a problem, but running on four legs was beyond their experience.

Recalling the way cats ran, Xia Yu attempted to replicate it.

Thump—

He ran into a trash can at the side.

Maybe his posture was wrong.

Trying again, he managed to run for two steps, but due to not knowing how to change direction, he crashed into a utility pole.

Climbing up from the ground and shaking off the dust, he sat under the pole, rubbing his head and deep in thought.

"Mom, that cat is so stupid!"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

He yelled at the little boy who couldn't speak, scaring him away, and Xia Yu sighed.

This seemed to be a bit difficult.

Getting up, he chose an area without trash cans or utility poles and continued practicing.

Three hours later, a black shadow swiftly passed through the alley.

The wind blew on Xia Yu's fur, bringing a refreshing coolness, the surrounding scenery quickly faded, making the cat happy.

Taking a sharp turn, he avoided a utility pole, Xia Yu circled around it three times, showing his disdain, and then ran toward the trash can.

In front of the trash can, some uncultured person had thrown away a milk tea cup.

Xia Yu tried to jump over the milk tea cup by lifting his upper body and using the strength of his hind legs, but his body didn't take off - instead, he landed flat on the milk tea cup.

"…"

Flipping over, Xia Yu released the flattened milk tea cup, laying down with his cat paw propping his chin, his expression gloomy.

He could run but not jump yet.

Fortunately, the person who threw away the milk tea had finished drinking it; otherwise, he would have been splashed all over.

Staring at the milk tea cup for a while, a feeling of hunger emerged in Xia Yu's body.

He needed to find something to eat.

But how?

He was now a stray cat, and generally, how do stray cats find food?

His gaze turned to the trash can in front of him.

He decided not to bother with it.

He would go to the pedestrian street to have a look.

Leaving the alley, Xia Yu arrived at the pedestrian street. Lampposts had already been illuminated on both sides of the street, which made him realize that the alley he had just been in was shrouded in darkness.

Cat's night vision was indeed a useful skill.

Now, how should he find food?

Go to the convenience store, snatch a sausage and leave?

As a cultured and civilized cat, that kind of robber-like behavior was beneath him.

Should he find a young girl and lay down at her feet to beg?

Although it would be relying on his own efforts, it would be too embarrassing.

After taking a stroll around the pedestrian street, Xia Yu was struggling internally.

His gaze involuntarily landed on a young girl holding a pancake in her hand.

Should he approach?

After hesitating for a moment, his eyes lit up.

He ran past the pancake girl and arrived at a tree.

Under the tree, a little boy was looking up at it.

The little boy's Pikachu balloon had floated up into the tree branches. Pikachu was a character from an animated show in this world.

Next to the little boy, his mother comforted him.

Glancing at the bag of bread in the little boy's mother's hand, Xia Yu stretched out his claws and grabbed onto the tree.

With his claws, climbing the tree wasn't difficult; after some time, Xia Yu got to the top, holding the string of the balloon, and slowly climbed down.

As his feet touched the ground, he sighed in relief, turning his head to look in the direction of the little boy but found that both the little boy and his mother had already disappeared.

"???"

From the time he climbed up the tree to the time he came down, about five minutes had passed, and it was normal for him to leave.

With the balloon, Xia Yu didn't necessarily need the little boy.

Looking around, Xia Yu held the balloon in his mouth and stood in front of a little girl.

"It's a cat!" The little girl squatted down, wanting to touch Xia Yu, but he dodged her.

Xia Yu shook the balloon, bringing the little girl's attention to the correct subject.

"Is this for me?" The little girl reached out to grab the balloon, but Xia Yu dodged again, which made her feel a little confused.

Xia Yu raised his hand, pointing to the supermarket bag in the little girl's mother's hand.

The little girl didn't understand the meaning of Xia Yu, but her mother did.

She took out a sausage from the supermarket bag and hesitantly handed it to Xia Yu.

With the balloon in her hand, Xia Yu happily held the sausage in his mouth and walked towards the alley.

He had just taken five or six steps when a teenage girl stopped him.

She placed the sausage bread in her hand in front of Xia Yu, who hesitated for a moment before giving her the sausage.

Taking the sausage, the young girl's face showed delight.

A large crowd surrounded Xia Yu.

"This cat can actually trade things!"

"Can I use a crepe?"

"I have canned fish."

What do you all want to do? Don't take this chance to touch me!

Twenty minutes later, Xia Yu escaped from the crazy humans, holding a roasted duck in his mouth and returned to the alley.

Opening the bag, Xia Yu took bites of the roast duck. It was a high-quality Peking duck which Xia Yu had never eaten as a human, but now he had the chance to taste it as a cat.

The roast duck tasted great, and Xia Yu heard another cat meowing nearby.

While chewing on the duck leg, Xia Yu looked around, knowing he couldn't finish the whole roast duck, and decided to share the rest with the other cat.

However, he didn't see the other cat.

Listening carefully, he realized the meow came from his mind.

It was the original cat owner's voice.

It had been quiet for so long, but as soon as it saw food, it started meowing, which was very realistic.

After eating two duck legs and hiding the rest of the roast duck in a corner, Xia Yu continued running.

In the meantime, he passed the entrance to another alley. When he wanted to go in and have a look, the cat's meowing in his mind sounded again.

The cat's voice was somewhat panicked.

Was it a dangerous place? Then he wouldn't go there.

He continued practicing in the original alley, and when the game time was almost up, Xia Yu came to a bus stop and determined the city he was in.

The black cat is a good disguise, it's dangerous to wander outside, but if they could swap bodies again, they could bring the other person home.

At two o'clock in the morning, he returned to his own body.

Sitting up, Xia Yu opened the skill panel, and not only did agility appear, but also night vision.

Without turning on the lights, the moonlight outside the window was dim, but he could see everything in the room.

He tried to do a carp flip and successfully stood up.

The effect of agility is quite impressive.

The corner of Xia Yu's mouth showed a smile; he clicked on the body swap column, trying to save the black cat in the second slot. Only the bodies saved in the slots can be exchanged repeatedly.

Seeing that it was successfully saved, Xia Yu was even more delighted, and he named the second slot "I am a Cat."

Now both slots are used up, and there are no empty slots for exchanging bodies with others.

They will have to wait until An Siyao or the black cat has finished learning their skills, and then delete them to free up a slot. This will happen much later.

As he sighed at why there were so few slots, the game text appeared.

[We are deeply sorry for the bug you encountered.]
