Chapter 367: Bakeneko

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The guest room of the Kellers’ was simply furnished with a twin-sized bed, a sofa, a set of rattan table and chairs, an old TV and a small interior bathroom. But everything had been cleaned up neatly.

Zhang Zian was lying in bed, bored, playing on his cellphone and reviewing the pet bars of the game.

Initially, the game provided pet bars for five elves. With Snowy Lionet, he had six elves in total. Although Fina and Richard were not in the game for now, four slots of the pet bars had been occupied by Old Time Tea, Galaxy, Snowy Lionet, and Reincarnated Dog.

If he encountered any special circumstances when all the elves needed to return in the game, the slots would not be enough.

The two extra free pet bars that he had acquired from capturing Fina became handy now.

He dragged the free pet bars to the pet bars for elves, and clicked to activate.

[Game Tip]: Confirm activation? Once activated, this is irreversible.

He clicked "confirm".

[Game Tip]: Congratulations! Your pet bars have been expanded to host seven elves. Capture more elves to fill the slots!

He smiled softly. Like it was really that easy to catch an elfin...

To capture Fina in the jewelry shop, he had to try with so many jewelries and shiny things before he finally won her affection.

What happened in the Teahouse in Hidden Fog was even more thrilling. He didn’t leave an impression on Old Time Tea because he was willing to spend money generously, but because of his courtesy and the fact that he offered three cups of tea to it in respect. That’s why Old Time Tea decided to leave Ms. Ye of the teahouse, who was related to Ye Wen, and left the mountain with Zhang Zian.

When he wanted to capture Richard in the Chinese teaching classroom, he was embarrassed publicly, so that Richard realized that he was a funny guy who knew how to joke.

Because of the tortuous experience capturing the previous elves, Zhang Zian felt anxious with catching the Reincarnated Dog so easily. Something was strange…

Was it because he was becoming more handsome and charming that he could win any elfin’s affection without any efforts?!

The Reincarnated Dog’s behaviors were even more puzzling. It claimed it knew Galaxy, and that it could fuzzily see the future... What a lunatic!

Galaxy could see the future because it was blessed with the Strength of Faith. Having experienced innumerable reincarnations in the black box through the quantum superposition states of life and death, it could see the quantum superposition state of the infinite future.

If the Reincarnated Dog had not experienced a similar situation, then how was it possible that it could see the future?

Zhang Zian shook his head, deciding not to think of this question but to instead look at the attributes of this Reincarnated Dog instead.

When he entered the pet bar of the Reincarnated Dog, he found that the German Shepherd was meditating about some conundrum, like a philosopher, with its mouth slightly open and eyes looking up to the sky. Its expression was amusing.

He clicked on Reincarnated Dog.

Zhang Zian stared at the screen and unconsciously whispered, "What does that mean?"

"Quack! What are you looking at on your cell phone? Are you looking at King Billy secretly?" After eating the nuts prepared by Allen, Richard fluttered its wings and flew towards him.

"Damn it! I’m not watching King Billy! Wait a minute! I don’t even know who King Billy is!" Zhang Zian was thinking problems seriously, but was disturbed by this dirty parrot.

"Don’t be so shy! Let’s watch together! Volume up, headphones down!" Richard continued its badgering.

Zhang Zian reluctantly showed his cell phone towards it, "I was thinking about the matters on this new elfin, all right?"

"Boring!" Richard glanced at the screen, "It’s just a dog! Dogs are everywhere, but there’s no parrot in this world as smart as me!"

"Well! You always say that you are so smart, so let me test you today. If you cannot answer me, stop showing off in front of me!" Zhang Zian sat up straight and said provocatively.

"Quack! Go ahead and ask me! I will only need to exert 1% of my intelligence to dazzle you idiot!" Richard confidently straightened its chest, "I can even tell you where to download all the resources of GVs!"

"I don’t want to know that!" Zhang Zian really wanted to cry. What if it told him anyway, and then he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and went to download and watch the GVs? If he became homosexual, all the girls in this world would be sad.

"What a buzzkill! What do you want to ask?" Richard pecked at the feathers of its chest in disappointment.

Zhang Zian showed it his cell phone, "What do you think the meaning of ‘Reincarnated Dog’ may be?"

"Reincarnated Dog?" repeated Richard.

"Yes, can you think of anything related to the name of Reincarnated Dog?" Zhang Zian asked, "To be honest, the appearance of this dog makes me feel a little awkward, so I want to figure out. Just tell me anything you can think of."

Richard temporarily put King Billy aside, concentrating on the words "Reincarnated Dog" and jumped back and forth on the table like a person pacing while in thought.

"Well, the name of Reincarnated Dog reminds me of a legend in Japan." After a moment, it stopped pacing.

Zhang Zian asked excitedly, "Tell me! What legend?"

Richard cleared its throat and said like a pretentious scholar, "You idiot have probably never heard of ‘Bakeneko, right?"

"No," answered Zhang Zian honestly.

When hearing the sensitive word "cat", Fina, who was napping, slightly opened her eyes and turned her ears towards this direction.

Richard cautiously flew behind Zhang Zian to stay away from Fina and continued, "The so-called Bakeneko is a monster in the Japanese legend. According to rumors, a Bakeneko was at first a normal cat, but as it grew older, its body became stronger, and its face and body became more like that of humans. It eventually acquired the supernatural power to perceive the feelings of humans’ hearts. Just like other monsters, there are good Bakeneko and bad Bakeneko. A good Bakeneko is sweet and docile, and likes to approach humans and snuggle around them in the shape of a young girl; while an evil Bakeneko is violent and inclines to hurt humans easily…"

Fina snorted coldly, "Cats become humans? Nonsense!"

Richard smiled meekly, "Your Majesty, please don’t blame me, I just narrated the rumors as I heard to this idiot..."

"The ability to perceive the feelings of humans’ hearts..." After listening to Richard’s story, Zhang Zian felt enlightened and gazed at the feature description of the Reincarnated Dog again—everything the Reincarnated Dog experienced is real!

Although he was not completely sure, the name "Reincarnated Dog" was probably somewhat associated with the legend of ‘Bakeneko’.

However, Zhang Zian was more interested in another question, "You were saying that a Bakeneko is gentle and loves to be surrounded by human beings?"

"Quack! Yes, what happened?" Richard did not know why he was interested in this.

Zhang Zian excitedly opened the browser on his phone, "I’m going to book a flight ticket to Japan! Perhaps I can capture an elfin like the Bakeneko!"

"Stop dreaming! It's just a legend, you idiot!" said Richard sarcastically, "Just consider downloading some GVs!"
