Empty Column

Upon seeing the maids in the room, the girl reflexively dodged at first, then realized that she was also the master of the maids.

Entering the room, she picked up the white cat from the leg of a maid.

"Meow meow!" the girl smiled.

This was Xia Yu's new name. Unhappy with his previous name, he ignored the girl every time she called him by those two characters, so he successfully gained a new nickname.

But old Mrs. Elma still liked to use the old name.

"Meow meow." The girl reached out her finger and pinched his paw pad.

The name was fine, but every time Tina said it, Xia Yu felt like he was coaxing the girl to be cute.

Forget it, that's not the point.

The point was the telepathic skill.

How could he practice this skill to lv1?

Xia Yu frowned, not knowing what to do.

It seemed that just sensing one person had no effect, otherwise, he would have already gained this skill from Tina.

So, he could only try sensing different people.

There were many servants in the villa, so they should be able to provide enough experience, right?

Jumping down from Tina's arms, Xia Yu walked past each maid in the room. Although none of them made the cat particularly comfortable, none of them disgusted the cat either.

He went to find other maids and servants to sense, with Tina following behind him and chasing him.

It took an hour for Xia Yu to finish sensing the remaining servants.

He checked the game points, and the growth of the points indeed stopped.

This was an effective method.

However, the people in the villa were not enough, so he had to look for test subjects elsewhere.

Xia Yu tried to leave the villa but was caught by the butler and sent to Elma.

"Don't run around, little guy. I'll take you to level up later." Elma placed Xia Yu in Tina's hands.

Xia Yu couldn't understand what she was saying, and he followed Elma, the butler, Tina, and himself out of the house to a club.

He was handed over to one of the club's attendants.

The attendant put him in a cage.

What's the situation?

Not sensing any danger, Xia Yu lay quietly in the cage, waiting to see what they were going to do.

His game time was running out, and he didn't know if he could see the truth.

After an unknown period, there was finally some movement. Xia Yu was taken by the attendant to a stage.

In front of the stage was a banquet scene, with a group of upper-class people standing together. Xia Yu saw Elma and Tina.

Tina looked at him while pulling her grandmother's clothes, as if urging her.

There was a host on the stage. After the host spoke, people below began to call out numbers.

Xia Yu understood the situation.

He was being auctioned off.

However, it was not an ordinary auction; there were plants below.

With the help of the plants, Elma raised the price to 5 million and bought Xia Yu.

Now, Xia Yu had gone from a cat worth 1,800 to a cat worth 5 million, returning to Tina's hands.

Lying in the girl's arms, Xia Yu saw Elma repeatedly buying things.

The jewelry hung on Tina's body, but she shook her head in refusal. Nevertheless, she couldn't escape Elma forcibly placing it in her palm.

In Xia Yu's heart, a bad feeling rose up. Without waiting for him to sense it carefully, the game time ended, and he returned to his own body.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for him to play the guzheng at the cafe. Although his fingers began to play, his heart had not been retracted.

Now, he had a net worth of 5 million US dollars and was taken care of by six maids and a young mistress, yet he still had to work in the cafe.

Sighing, Xia Yu began to recall the bad feeling that had risen when he was in the white cat's body.

It was clear that something was going to happen there.

Most likely, it would concern Elma.

Becoming a wealthy person overnight was unlikely but not impossible, such as inheriting a fortune or something. However, Elma's attitude was obviously wrong.

Her luxurious style could be explained as enjoying life after getting rich, but her extravagant purchases at the seemingly charity dinner auction were clearly abnormal.

Her bids were raised by a hundred thousand each time, showing complete disregard for the cost, as if her wealth would disappear soon.

What on earth had that person done?

Regardless of how Elma fared, Xia Yu could live well using the cat's body, but Tina couldn't. If anything happened to Elma, Tina's life trajectory would take a different turn.

Should he intervene?

With a cat's body, what could he change?

If Elma really committed a crime, it must be a big one. Even if he went there in his own body, he would be powerless.

It was better to remain watchful.

He still needed to find a way to learn the language of the second area first. Without language, there would be no way to obtain information.

After a busy day and pondering throughout the night, Xia Yu logged into An Siyao's account the next day.

Today was Sunday, and An Siyao was sitting at the dining table in the restaurant.

Breakfast consisted of freshly baked bread, eggs, and milk, all delicious.

After finishing, Xia Yu stood and strolled in the garden, talking with An Siyao.

In the afternoon, he entered An Siyao's painting studio and looked at the girl's artwork.

"Is this a painting of a saint?" Xia Yu looked at the oil painting, where a woman dressed in white saint's clothing sat quietly in the darkness.

"Yes," An Siyao replied.

Xia Yu noticed the painting of the saint depicted her with closed eyes. Was this a depiction of a saint without eyes?

As Xia Yu prepared to ask questions, An Siyao spoke first, "Did something happen?"

Although An Siyao was naive about social relationships, she was not a slow-witted person.

Before, Xia Yu would eat and drink by himself, playing the piano. Today, he suddenly strolled around the garden and visited the painting studio, which was obviously abnormal.

Xia Yu fell silent for a moment; he indeed had something going on.

To acquire foreign language skills, he needed to find a body with a language bonus, but to log into a new body, he had to free up a slot.

Both the white cat and Xu Youxiang were difficult to add back after deleting, but An Siyao could be.

It's already the 15th, and in two weeks, it will be time for the semifinals and finals. By then, Xia Yu can use his freedom to choose and put An Siyao back in her place.

Even if there's an issue during the competition, Xia Yu, who knows the young girl's whereabouts well, can easily find her.

Compared to the white cat in the second zone, Xu Youxiang, who stays at home all day, only An Siyao is convenient.

However, Xia Yu was a bit hesitant to ask, as he felt like he was doing something wrong.

Reason told Xia Yu that this was a normal and correct decision.

Something was bound to happen with Tina lately, so he needed his language skills to find out what happened. Otherwise, there was nothing he could do.

It's just two weeks, after all. Last time, he didn't come for six days.
