Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start - Chapter 321
Chapter 321: 321, Cat plays with cat_1
Last night, Su Yu took Morning Star out for a walk.
However, unlike before, Morning Star didn’t activate the [Star Shield] last night, allowing her to freely breathe and exchange air with the outside world.
Expert groups from relevant departments gathered samples from the path Morning Star travelled on for study.
The conclusion they made was that they hadn’t found any trace of alien bacteria or viruses, which might be related to the physical characteristics of this special group called “Star Cats”.
Since Morning Star wouldn’t spread bacteria or viruses, she was naturally free to move about the entire city!
“Morning Star, let me take you out to play!” Su Yu patted the cat’s head.
He still had four hours left in his game time, meaning they could go out now and not have to return until seven or eight o’clock in the evening.
“Not going.” Morning Star answered coldly, not taking her eyes off the phone screen. “Going out isn’t as fun as playing on the phone.”
Two weeks ago, when she first arrived in this world, she had wanted to go out and understand what this strange world was like.
But now that there was a smartphone, she could clearly understand the world through the phone, and the desire to go out naturally diminished.
Seeing Morning Star’s inertia to move like a “homebody cat”, Su Yu proposed, “How about I take you out for grilled fish? Our cuisine is much more advanced than your world, and the grilled fish is delicious!”
Morning Star clearly hesitated for a moment.
But she still answered coldly: “Not interested, I do not want to go.”
Obviously, the appeal of the smartphone was just a tad greater than that of food.
“If you don’t go, then I’ll have to go alone?” Su Yu changed his shoes, put his hand on the door handle and was ready to leave.
“Go ahead, bye!” Morning Star adjusted the direction of her phone screen and turned her back to Su Yu, not even giving him a glance.
“Ah!” Su Yu sighed and muttered, “I had planned on getting a certain cat a new phone this time out, but it seems that plan is off.”
Morning Star: “!!!”
Her pair of blue cat ears instantly stood upright.
Then, a beam of starlight streaked across the room, and Morning Star almost instantly appeared on Su Yu’s shoulder, staring at him with wide eyes:
“New phone! Are you sure! I want the one with the best performance and the biggest screen on the market!”
Su Yu’s phone was bought back in his university days, and after three or four years, the hardware was already old and lagged severely.
But since Su Yu used to either be at work, pulling overtime, or dining with various female clients except for calling, setting alarms, and writing memos, he never really had any other use for it and hence didn’t replace it.
But for Morning Star, if Su Yu could buy her a new phone, her mobile gaming experience would absolutely leap forward!
So as soon as Su Yu mentioned a new phone, Morning Star became immediately excited.
“Alright, I will buy you the best performing phone on the market!” Su Yu doted while scratching Morning Star’s chin.
Morning Star, in turn, changed her previous indifferent behavior.
First, she pretended to be comfortable and squinted her eyes, then she stuck out her small tongue and gently licked Su Yu’s neck, “Nemesis, you’re the best! Let’s get going!”
“Alright.” Su Yu picked up his keys, and together with Morning Star, they left the house.
The rest of the afternoon until seven in the evening, Su Yu was out and about with Morning Star.
He kept his promise and bought her the most expensive phone on the market, took her to a grilled fish restaurant, rode the roller coaster in the amusement park, and saw the towering buildings in downtown East Sea City…
But walking all the way, the biggest feeling Su Yu had was – it was so quiet, hardly anyone was around.
Now everyone’s attention has shifted to “Evolution”, with nearly a hundred million people changing their careers to become professional players in “Evolution”, spending all twelve hours of their daily game time in there.
Others, like the power and food departments, were still working to ensure people’s livelihood but were trying their best to devote as much time as possible to “Evolution”.
Everyone was busy.
As a result, the real-world tertiary industry, namely the service sector, completely collapsed.
The previously bustling snack streets and pedestrian streets were all closed. The open ones were basically unmanned stores.
The phone store Su Yu and Morning Star visited had no salespeople – they just needed to pick up the phone and pay; the grilled fish restaurant they went to had only an ET-312 cooking robot in charge of grilling fish, and there were no other customers.
Same with the amusement park, the machines were running but there were no ticket sellers…
The entire city felt deserted.
Morning Star, however, did not feel the silence and was quite entertained.
But it wasn’t possible to spend seven hours just browsing a few stores.
Of these seven hours, Su Yu and Morning Star spent only a small portion of the time playing, and the bulk of the time was spent on more serious matters.
That serious matter was – killing ghosts.
It was only after taking Morning Star out that Su Yu found her perception of ghosts was much stronger than his own!
Before, Su Yu’s method of dealing with ghosts was: the relevant department discovered suspected ghost harm – notified Su Yu – Su Yu went to the site to investigate and eliminate the ghosts.
Su Yu could only sense the trace of hidden ghosts within a 50-meter radius.
But Morning Star was different.
She seemed to have a special perception ability that could sense the existence of ghosts within a two-kilometer radius, and accurately locate the position of the ghosts!
With Morning Star being a “ghost detecting radar”, in just these short seven hours, Su Yu had killed a total of 61 ghosts! This was almost equal to the quantity from the last half month, saving many potential lives.
They got home at seven in the evening, with only an hour left before [Illusion Duel] started.
Sitting on the couch, Su Yu sent the results of today’s ghost-killing to Xue Wenli via text.
Then, gently stroking Morning Star’s smooth fur, he smiled: “Looks like I should bring you out more often.”
Morning Star was not responding to Su Yu; she was engrossed in her new phone thoroughly enjoying it.
She was currently immersed in a MOBA mobile game, controlling a hero called [Magical Kitty Youmi].
She used Youmi to possess a teammate, released the ultimate, and three golden light waves swept out, directly incapacitating the enemy’s five heroes!
Her teammates surged forward, successfully annihilating the opponents.
Upon seeing the cat’s skilled operation, teammates sent out [Thumbs Up emoji], and some even typed in the public screen: “The cat plays well!”
“Of course!” Morning Star replied proudly on the public screen: “Because I am a cat!”
Her teammates:
Su Yu could no longer hold back at this point. He picked Morning Star up by the scruff of her neck: “Alright, it’s getting late, we should log in.”
Morning Star: “No! Let me finish this game…”
Before she finished speaking, Morning Star disappeared from mid-air, as Su Yu pulled her into the pet space.
Su Yu quickly caught the falling phone from the air, put on his helmet and entered the game.
Her four teammates in the game were left dumbfounded.
Why did the cat suddenly quit while they were playing well?
