Chapter 139 The Cat Returns 23
Shen Chumo got rid of the cats and found a clean cardboard box in a corner of the village. She crawled inside and decided to spend the night there.
Shen Chumo lay in the cardboard box, finally having time to groom her fur. Having lived in the Yi family for so long, eating big fish and shrimp every day, her fur was incredibly smooth.
Once Shen Chumo had finished tidying herself up, she had a moment to herself and asked Tuanzi, "Tuanzi, besides teleportation, what other functions did you gain after leveling up twice this time?"
Tuanzi said excitedly, "Besides teleportation, I have an extra space to store items from the mission world. It's just that it's small now, only one cubic meter. But the space can be upgraded with points, and each upgrade of one cubic meter costs five thousand points."
That's good; she can now store some things in her space.
Shen Chumo exclaimed, "Tuanzi, my points weren't wasted! You made the right choice by leveling up."
The system upgrade actually benefits the task takers, as it's much more cost-effective than buying items from the in-game store.
Tuanzi's cheeks flushed from the praise. "Mo Mo, after I leveled up, a lot of systems came over wanting to be friends with me. They said they would share some inside information with me. I'm no longer the last-ranked system."
Shen Chumo asked curiously, "Tuanzi, the higher your system level, the greater your power. What would happen if you leveled up to L1?"
"L1!!&34; Tuanzi's eyes lit up at the thought that she might one day be promoted to L1.
"In our system's eyes, L1-level systems are second only to the supreme gods. Legend has it that they can even take mission takers to travel between planes at will and manipulate time in planes. It seems that there are no more than ten L1-level systems in the entire universe."
Of course, those with L1 systems should not be underestimated. At their level, they no longer need to perform these tasks; their main job is to maintain the balance of the planes and prevent them from collapsing.
Shen Chumo did the math in her head. She originally had 109,250 merits, which was equivalent to 218,500 points. She spent 30,000 points to upgrade Tuanzi.
There are still 188,000 points left. Adding the points from the last world, the total is 190,000. If all of them are used to upgrade Tuanzi, it can only be upgraded two more levels, which is L4 level.
However, Shen Chumo had a premonition that the main god wouldn't let her accumulate points so easily. The later worlds would probably become increasingly dangerous, and she couldn't use up all her merits. For now, she could only take it one step at a time.
Shen Chumo suddenly asked, "By the way, Tuanzi, can animals in this world cultivate?"
If she could cultivate herself into human form, it would be much easier for her to do certain things.
Tuanzi looked it up and replied in surprise, "Mo Mo, cultivation is possible in this world! However..."
Shen Chumo's eyes lit up. "But what?"
"However, the spiritual energy in this world is too thin. If you really want to cultivate, even if you go to the deep mountains where the spiritual energy is abundant, it will probably take hundreds of years to enter the Dao. It will take at least thousands of years to cultivate into human form. The store does have some pills that can help with cultivation, but they can only shorten the time a little."
Upon hearing that it would take a thousand years, Shen Chumo decisively gave up. She figured she might as well use that time to accumulate merit in the next world.
It was already past midnight, a night with a bright moon and few stars, a gentle breeze caressing her. Shen Chumo found a clean cardboard box in the corner, crawled inside, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. She was exhausted after a long day.
The next day, sunlight streamed into the cardboard box. Shen Chumo opened her eyes and yawned, looking incredibly cute. This cardboard box still wasn't as comfortable as the cat bed at the Yi family's house.
Shen Chumo sent Tuanzi to the Yi family to investigate. She learned that Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan had already gone out to post missing cat notices and were looking for her everywhere.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Zhou Mengqi, was smugly putting on makeup in her room, preparing to go out for a trip.
Zhou Mengqi's audacity in attacking her was clearly due to thorough preparation. She was dressed very conservatively and had her stuffed into her bag the whole way. Even the taxi driver probably didn't know why Zhou Mengqi had come to the riverbank.
Shen Chumo estimated that Mengqi should have destroyed the Yi family's surveillance cameras by now, and if she was being cautious, she might even have prepared an alibi.
This week, Mengqi is really meticulous and plans every step of the way.
Shen Chumo jumped out of the box, shook her body, and her fluffy fur looked like a soft cloud.
Yi Zeyu has already posted a missing cat notice, and the one million yuan reward for finding the cat has caused quite a stir online.
Many people were curious to see what this million-dollar cat looked like, and after seeing Shen Chumo's photos, they started frantically admiring her.
Yi Zeyu took many photos of Shen Chumo on a regular basis, and there were photos of Shen Chumo in all sorts of poses.
Netizens were instantly captivated by Shen Chumo's beauty.
"What? This absolute cutie is only worth one million? Is one million a lot? If I find her, I'll definitely hide her at home, lol."
"No way, are all rich people's cats this good-looking? After seeing other people's cats and then looking at my unfilial son, I feel like my eyes have been punched."
"Watching Momo play, I felt like I was back in the days before I became that wicked woman. [Emoji: 'Princess An looking up at the sky']"
"No way, how did Mo Mo, with her looks, get lost? Was she stolen? She's so beautiful, and she was taken away as soon as she left the house."
"I agree with the comment above. Someone with this kind of looks will definitely not get lost, because someone will be taking a sack home with them right away. *evil grin*"
In no time, online discussions about Shen Chumo surged, and netizens turned her photos into various adorable emojis. The topic "Searching for Momo" quickly became the number one trending topic.
When Yi Zeyu's friends saw the news online, they called to inquire about Mo Mo's situation. Among them, Chen Shao was the most anxious and hurriedly mobilized his circle of friends and connections to ask them to help find Shen Chu Mo.
Shen Chumo, who had caused such a stir online, was now leisurely strolling through this secluded village. The taxi that had driven for at least two hours yesterday had finally stopped, which gave one an idea of how far this place was from City A.
Shen Chumo licked her lips. The fish soup at the old lady's house tasted good yesterday, so she decided to go and have another bowl today.
Shen Chumo arrived at the old lady's house after a series of twists and turns, only to find that several uninvited guests had come to visit.
A man, a woman, and a teenager stood in front of the old lady's house. The man was wearing a suit and tie, looking like an elite, and kicked away Mimi, who tried to approach him.
"Go away, go away, you're filthy, don't come near me."
Mimi turned away dejectedly, leaving the cat alone in the corner.
The woman next to me was well-dressed, but her words were offensive. She covered her nose and said disdainfully, "You old hag, keeping so many animals is such a waste of money."
