Working for Nothing
The next morning, Xia Yu found out why Yuxue said those strange words.
"Cats and dogs rushing forward?" Xia Yu was puzzled.
"Yeah, if you successfully run the whole track, you can get a Cold Valley washing machine." Thinking of the washing machine, Yuxue's eyes narrowed.
There was no washing machine in Xia Yu's home, and all the clothes, quilts, and curtains were hand-washed by Yuxue.
It was necessary to have a washing machine.
However, letting himself change into the body of a black cat to participate in that kind of competition was a bit too much.
"How much does that washing machine cost?" Xia Yu thought about giving the girl one directly.
"Ten thousand yuan."
Xia Yu's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
You're not washing clothes, you're washing money!
"When is the competition?" Swallowing what he just wanted to say, Xia Yu asked about the time.
"Two to three in the afternoon, but I don't know which day," the girl said.
The time difference was quite large. To participate in this competition, Xia Yu needed to adjust the game time, delaying it by eleven hours, almost a whole day.
Although thinking carefully, delaying the game time by a dozen hours to get a washing machine worth ten thousand is a bargain, Xia Yu still wanted to finish the piano skills as soon as possible.
A washing machine worth ten thousand wasn't that special. Buying a cheaper one would work the same, right?
Anyway, he only had two thousand five hundred left in his savings, so using a little more wouldn't matter.
Xia Yu, on the verge of bankruptcy, thought about breaking the jar.
After thinking about the result, Xia Yu turned his head and looked at Yuxue. Seeing the girl's expectant eyes, he hesitated for a moment, but soon made up his mind.
Although his sister was very cute, Xia Yu, who had already extended the time to master the piano by a third in order for An Siyao to get enough sleep, didn't want to waste any more time.
Fish and bear's paw cannot be had at the same time.
"No..."
Before his words fell, a line of subtitles appeared in front of him.
The manufacturer sent you a test mission.
Mission?
That's right, at the beginning of the introduction, this was indeed mentioned.
Xia Yu checked the details.
1. Log in to the game between 18:00-2:00 outside of the time period 0/2
2. On the basis of the previous item, use the mother cat bug 0/1
For each completed test, you can choose one of the five times experience cards, body search times, and level one fixed bonus in the reward
After browsing the mission instructions, Xia Yu frowned:
This mission was entirely to fulfill Yuxue's wish, so why did it appear so cleverly?
Was Yuxue the mastermind behind this game?
That was impossible; there couldn't be so many conspiracy theories in reality.
It's probably because he refused in the first place, which led the manufacturer to release the mission. If he hadn't refused and Snow would have cooperated with the manufacturer's intentions, there would be no need to release another mission and give out rewards.
Thinking about it this way, he might have unknowingly completed many testing missions for the manufacturer and been taken advantage of many times.
What a qualified cunning businessman.
Setting aside his thoughts, Xia Yu began studying the rewards. Among the three rewards, apart from the body search count, the others were all unseen rewards and very generous.
The five-times experience card had already captivated Xia Yu, and the first-level bonus fixation made him very excited.
If he had not guessed wrong, the first-level bonus fixation could be attained after the body exchange, solidifying an LV1 bonus on his original body.
With this, his skill experience farming time wouldn't be limited to the eight hours of body exchange; he could practice anytime!
He wanted both the five-times experience card and the first-level bonus fixation!
"...Actually, it's not impossible." Xia Yu changed his tone, "You ask about the time first."
"Okay!" Snow said excitedly.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Yu returned to his bedroom.
He searched for the Cats and Dogs Forward Rush show that Yuxue mentioned using his phone.
The show was similar to one Xia Yu had seen in his previous life, Men and Women Forward Rush, both being parkour-style programs.
However, the ones running were cats and dogs instead of people.
After watching an episode and observing the track, Xia Yu felt relieved. The track was very simple, passing it had no problem, and the $11,000 washing machine was as good as his.
Speaking of which, could this washing machine be resold?
Thinking of Yuxue's expectant expression, Xia Yu let go of this idea.
As a protagonist, reselling the washing machine at home for money would be too low-level.
After a while, Yuxue knocked on his door; the girl asked about the competition time, which could be arranged for 2pm tomorrow.
After planning, Xia Yu adjusted the body exchange time to be from 8 am to 4 pm.
It was a long-lost leisurely evening!
He decided to take his sister to the supermarket.
Anyway, his savings were already in that state, a few hundred less wouldn't make much difference.
...
The next day at 8 am, Xia Yu told Yuxue not to disturb him, and he lay down on the bed and entered the black cat's body.
At this time, the black cat was being held by Snow, and they were watching Cats and Dogs Forward Rush on the television.
"Xiaohei, do you see that bridge? When you go up, be sure to walk well!" Yuxue and the black cat discussed their tactics.
Xia Yu watched the show for a while, then lost patience. He jumped out of Yuxue's arms, opened the door, and went outside.
"Remember to come home at noon!" Yuxue reminded him.
"Meow!" Waving his paw at the girl, Xia Yu walked down the stairs.
He went to the park and practiced agility by climbing trees and chasing children.
At twelve-thirty noon, he returned home and took the bus with Yuxue to the competition venue.
Around the venue, many bored middle-aged and elderly people were watching.
Holding Xia Yu, Yuxue entered inside.
It was just past one o'clock, and the participants were arranged in a resting room.
Xia Yu counted, there were a total of ten people participating, nine of which were dogs, and only he was a cat.
Dogs are more obedient than cats, and methods of training dogs are much more mature than for cats.
When there were many people, Yuxue felt a little uneasy. She held Xia Yu tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
Patting the girl's cheek, Xia Yu jumped out of her hand and led her to sit down on a chair to the side.
A self-familiar participant broke the silence and started talking about raising dogs. Yuxue, who raised a cat, couldn't fit in.
Even if they deliberately let Yuxue speak a few words, Yuxue, who had just started raising a cat, couldn't say anything.
Putting his paw on the girl's head, Xia Yu comforted her.
It's normal to have no topics with this group of old men; it would be strange if they did.
At two o'clock, the staff came to invite the first contestant to play.
He weighed two hundred pounds and was a muscular man. He was the one who started the topic of raising dogs. His speech was confident, and his pace was steady. However, his little Teddy didn't dare to go to the competition venue full of water and clung to the female host's leg unwilling to come down.
Teddy declared a failure.
The next three dogs also failed one after another. The best one only made it to the fourth round.
Now, it's Xia Yu's turn to perform.
Xia Yu was already so bored that he started yawning, just wanting to finish early, go home, and get his prize.
