Chapter 5 Flash's Speed

"According to reports, the Leo Meteor Shower will reach Earth at 2 AM the day after tomorrow."

"Seasoned astronomy enthusiasts believe that this meteor shower will rival the Taurus Meteor Shower from six months ago…"

"Reports from Jingzhou, Fengye City, and other locations indicate that more mysterious creatures have appeared in human habitats, attacking innocent civilians."

"Experts claim that these mysterious creatures have never been seen before and are likely a new species…"

"This channel's reporter reports from a low-cost house in the Anton District of Fengye City, where two bodies drained of blood were found, and the identity of the murderer is yet to be identified."

"An urgent reminder to all citizens: try to get home early after dark and avoid staying out on the streets to prevent encountering danger…"

…

Lin Siyin was currently in her senior year of high school, and it wasn't vacation time, so she had to obediently go to school.

For such a fulfilling life, Lu Zixun expressed envy and collapsed on the sofa, emitting one meow after another.

The TV was broadcasting one piece of news after another, and Lu Zixun lazily lay on the sofa, eyes fixed on the screen.

It seemed like he was watching TV, but he was actually conversing with the system.

"Your current Emotion Value total is 910, you have 4 chances to participate in the lottery, would you like to start the lottery?"

Lu Zixun hesitated.

According to metaphysics, the probability of getting good items usually increases with a five-consecutive draw.

But he was still short of 90 points of Emotion Value. Where would he get that?

…

…

"System, how much Emotion Value do I have now?" On a certain large tree.

"Ding, you have collected over 1000 points of Emotion Value, accumulating 5 lottery chances."

"How did I get so much Emotion Value?"

Lu Zixun couldn't figure out that the bits of happiness Lin Siyin accumulated in her usual days were all on Lu Zixun, this Orange Cat.

"Ding, you have collected over 1000 points of Emotion Value, the system can undergo a minor upgrade, the expected upgrade time is 3 hours."

"Ding, system maintenance and upgrade in progress, lottery unavailable."

Lu Zixun suddenly was at a loss for words.

"Damn system, I finally, not without scheming, accumulated five lottery tries, and now you need to upgrade."

After complaining for a while, Lu Zixun squatted in the dryness above, and began to ponder the restrictions on acquiring Emotion Value.

It seems that ordinary mischief wouldn't get Emotion Value.

For instance, the first time he knocked a cup to the ground, Lin Siyin didn't particularly care; only significant emotional shifts could earn Emotion Value.

And the more intense the fluctuation, the more Emotion Value obtained.

This explained why in the pet store, a bunch of young girls showed great affection, but he could only get Love Value from old women.

No reason, the old women were grateful for his help.

Adding to his increased cuteness, the emotion of love surged upward, causing significant emotional fluctuations.

Thinking of this, Lu Zixun jumped down from the tree, wandered around for a while, and when he got hungry, he sneakily returned to Lin Siyin's home.

"I wonder when the system will finish upgrading, it's so boring."

Lu Zixun yawned out of boredom.

Initially, when Lin Siyin went to school, he could still chat with the system, but now it seemed…

He was all alone, oh no, all one cat.

After a while, the System Prompt Sound suddenly rang in Lu Zixun's mind.

"Ding, the system upgrade is complete. This upgrade has added a colorful ball collection feature; every five lottery draws the Host makes, they can draw an extra colorful ball."

"The color of the drawn colorful ball is random. Collect three of the same color, and you can randomly get a Superpower item. Additionally, there are only four colors of colorful balls: red, green, blue, and white."

"Ding, the Superpower System continues to serve you…"

Lu Zixun, who was eating grilled fish and drinking soy milk, was startled by the sudden System Prompt Sound.

But soon after, his heart blossomed with joy.

This upgrade was great; after his five lottery draws, he could randomly draw a colorful ball.

For instance, if he drew a Red Ball and the next two were also Red Balls, he could get a Superpower item, which was much more reliable than uncertain spinning wheel lotteries!

Besides that.

This system upgrade could also notify him of who generated Emotion Value for him.

Such a user-friendly operation, Lu Zixun considered fairly satisfying!

"System, I want to enter the lottery, a five-draw streak!"

Lu Zixun's vision was filled with a colorful spinning wheel, and the pointer started spinning rapidly.

"Ding, congratulations on winning 10,000 Huaxia Coins."

"Ding, congratulations on winning 30,000 Huaxia Coins."

"Ding, congratulations on winning a pack of premium cat food."

"Ding, congratulations on winning a little Dingdang Cat collar."

"Ding, congratulations on winning a superpower, the speed of Flash."

Hearing the last prompt, Lu Zixun's hanging heart finally fell.

Pesticide mysticism five-streak draw, it did not deceive me either!

"Ding, you have one free opportunity to draw a lottery, would you like to use it?"

"Use, use, use!" Lu Zixun said joyfully.

"Ding, you have obtained a White Ball, which has been automatically placed in your backpack."

"Let's check out my superpower first." Lu Zixun thought, extracting the superpower, the speed of Flash.

Subsequently, a golden aura enveloped him, and a warm current swirled around his body.

"The speed of Flash, as the name implies, allows me to move as fast as lightning, although it's still not quite the speed of light!"

"Let's test how the superpower works."

After the superpower merged into his body, Lu Zixun opened his cat eyes and turned to look at the kitchen door.

That one... supposedly from the Qianlong Period.

You're the one!

Porcelain!

The next second, Lu Zixun transformed into a gust of wind, coming and going in the blink of an eye, and the porcelain from the Qianlong Period appeared on the sofa.

"Meow—"

Damn, this speed is awesome!

Lu Zixun began to extract the second item, the Dingdang Cat's collar.

Instantly, a yellow collar appeared around Lu Zixun's neck, with a notably blue bell in the middle.

"Dingdang Cat's bell: it enhances your attractiveness and makes you look cuter."

"Owning this bell means you are a distinguished cat, roaming the streets without worrying about attacks from animal capture teams."

"Oh, I see, it's so-so," Lu Zixun flicked the bell on his neck, feeling completely unmoved inside.

As a mighty Orange Cat reliant on strength, he never relied on attractiveness.

Even though his attractiveness was first in Cat World, as for stray animal capture teams, he could swat them away with a slap, so he truly didn't need to worry, but... well, better than nothing.

Next up were the Huaxia Coins. Honestly, it's just the RMB from Earth in the past.

It's just he's not sure how to extract them...

Lu Zixun curiously clicked.

In a moment, a stack of red Huaxia Coins appeared above his head.

They then bulleted down.

Pounding down on Lu Zixun, eventually, a total of 40,000 Huaxia Coins buried him under a mountain of money.

The vile smell of money, the vile capitalism.

Lu Zixun struggled out from the pile of money, dusted off the paper scraps from his body, and said very displeased, "Damn this system, were you trying to kill this handsome cat?"

"Thank goodness this gorgeous, charming face of mine wasn't injured..."

Lu Zixun narcissistically looked into the mirror.

However, all he saw besides his chubby face was nothing.

Yes, you saw it right...

Indeed, a chubby face.

During his days at Lin Siyin's house, Lu Zixun could say he completely embodied the Orange Cat genes, getting fatter with each meal.

Lu Zixun had just been smashed in the face by Huaxia Coins when he learned from the system's prompt that items extracted from the system cannot be taken back.

However, they could be temporarily stored in the system's storage space.

Lu Zixun was quite satisfied with this.

Being a cat, he had no use for so much money.

He'd keep it now, perhaps it might come in handy for Lin Siyin later.
