"Beep beep beep!"

"Beep beep beep!"

Saturday, South District, morning.

The phone charging at the bedside lit up, the piercing alarm instantly shattering the tranquility of morning and dreams.

In bed, Yan Huan, who was sleeping peacefully, instinctively furrowed his brows.

The next second, as the covers wriggled, a pair of black cat ears suddenly popped out from his embrace.

"Meow~"

Yan Huan still hovered on the edge of dreams, instinctively hugging the fat cat in his arms tighter.

But those cat ears didn't stop, merely trembling before emerging from the covers, leading its plump body up to the pillow.

"Awooo~"

Meow-chan yawned, using its front paws to grip the pillow as a support, stretching out lazily.

Turning to look at the still-blaring phone by the bed, its soft tail inadvertently swiped across Yan Huan's face, quietly dispersing the remnants of his dream.

"Mmm..."

As Yan Huan was finally awakened by the tail, Meow-chan adeptly reached out a paw to turn off the alarm.

When Yan Huan opened his eyes and sat up rubbing his face, he saw Meow-chan had already groomed its fur smoothly and sat elegantly by the pillow,

"Good morning, Yan Huan."

"Good morning, Meow-chan."

Yan Huan yawned, then reached out to rub its head, messing up the freshly brushed fur, making it meow in protest.

Seeing this, Yan Huan smiled slightly, but when he turned his head to see the suitcase packed by the wardrobe, his expression froze.

Today was the day the students of Yuanyue Academy embarked on their school trip.

For the students of Linmen, this annual trip was supposed to be a wonderful journey, but for Yan Huan at the moment, it felt like doomsday approaching.

"I shouldn't have chosen that Fragment Refiner, otherwise I wouldn't be having such a headache..."

Yan Huan sat by the bed, slapped his forehead, and muttered to himself.

And the next second, Meow-chan's timely voice came,

"Humans often idealize other choices they didn't make. Focusing on the present might be better meow."

"..."

Yan Huan glanced at Meow-chan beside him, just about to retort that it was spouting chicken soup, when he suddenly saw it grab a jade-green oily fragment and bring it to him,

This was the fragment Bai Yi dropped at school, and yesterday Yan Huan had invited Spencer for lunch to dispel the curse on it.

Yes, now the Fragment Refiner can be used!

So, Yan Huan restrained the urge to cuddle his cat, propping his chin as he looked at Meow-chan,

"Let's give it a try then."

"Meow!"

Meow-chan nodded, then with an "awoo," swallowed the fragment and began to chew.

Meow-chan's eyes spun around, and rainbow-colored light faintly emitted from its mouth, becoming increasingly bright...

"Pfft!"

Just before the light could become glaring, Meow-chan seemed to sense something and spat out everything in its mouth.

Yan Huan looked closely and saw two white snake scales eerily floating in front of Meow-chan.

"...It's An Le's Modifier Fragment. What special effect does it have?"

Yan Huan just started to think when he saw Meow-chan's eyes widen, its body instantly growing several times larger, almost a meter long.

Not only did its fur become smoother and glossier, its eyes sparkling with gem-like gleams.

But then, it gradually shrank back to its original size.

"Burp~"

Afterward, it gave a satisfied burp, comfortably licking its paws,

"Seems like it enhances this form of mine meow!"

"..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan's face darkened,

"Why does it feel like it's the most useless type of fragment?"

"Meow?!"

Oh well, after all, the number of fragments has doubled, so it's a good thing, right?

Thinking this, Yan Huan sighed, got up to change out of his pajamas, planning to wash up and leave after.

"By the way, Meow-chan, why did you grow and then shrink just now?"

Upon hearing, Meow-chan stopped licking its paws, staring intently at Yan Huan changing in front of the wardrobe,

"I can change my appearance to some extent meow, An Le's Modifier form was like this too, being able to grow and shrink."

As Yan Huan listened while pulling on a T-shirt, he paused, couldn't help asking,

"Then why do you still look so fat, wobbling when you jump onto my shoulder? Is this look your favorite?"

Meow-chan shook its head honestly, replying,

"No, but this is already the smallest size I can transform into meow."

"..."

Yan Huan didn't know what to say, so he gave Meow-chan a speechless look, letting it ponder on its own.

The luggage was packed last night, and after breakfast, Yan Huan grabbed his wallet and documents, ready to head out.

Linmen has visa-exemption arrangements with most countries in the world, only needing a passport to travel.

And the passport could be processed collectively at school at the start of enrollment, when Linmen's foreign affairs staff came to handle temporary matters.

"Phew, let's go."

"Meow~"

With everything ready, Yan Huan dragged his suitcase to the door, and Meow-chan leaped up onto his shoulder.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Yahashiki, saying he was leaving.

The airport is in the North Sea District, extremely far from the South District, and taxi fares are frighteningly expensive, so carpooling is the best option for such situations.

After receiving a reply from Yahashiki on his phone, Yan Huan locked the door behind him and turned to head downstairs.

While hurrying on his way, Yan Huan couldn't help but start mulling over the upcoming itinerary in his mind...
