SIAS Chapter 286.2

Although this place was too desolate and somewhat eerie, not like it would yield anything of value, she was already there, and it seemed even more wasteful to have come all this way without signing in.

So she signed it.

[You signed in at the Cold Palace Wall in the Forbidden City and received a Pet Card (Mystic Cat).]

[First time obtaining a pet! The system shop has added many amazing pet-related items. Show your love by giving it the best care! Go check it out!]

“!!!”

She was half right; the things at this sign-in location were indeed a bit eerie, but the items were actually quite nice!

She glanced at the hexagonal card in her system space, her eyes filled with the thought: I’ve hit the jackpot!

The card depicted a tiny, all-black kitten with round, amber eyes, looking around curiously at the outside of the card, its tail wagging gently.

So cute!

Yi Qingqing’s eyes lit up; she really wanted to rub it!

Then she looked at the card’s instructions.

[Pet Card (Mystic Cat): A black cat kitten, capable of warding off evil spirits, communicating with spirits, and protecting the home. Once the card is deactivated, it cannot be restored. Please ensure you have sufficient space and conditions to care for the kitten before officially adopting it.]

The item descriptions in the Sign-in System are very practical, including things like warding off evil spirits, communicating with spirits, and protecting the home—they’re all real.

Yi Qingqing felt that it was well worth it to be able to sign in such an amazing pet with just three sign-in points.

She couldn’t wait to take the fluffy little cat out and pet it, but the last sentence in the description reminded her.

She didn’t have the means to keep a black cat right now.

To keep a pet, she needed a place to live in the real world and the ability to feed it regularly.

The courtyard house in her personal space seemed like a good option, but before the breeding area was opened, everything in the residential area, except for herself and the plants, could be kept fresh for a long time, which was equivalent to freezing time.

Otherwise, if anything could be kept, why spend so much money to unlock the breeding area?

The system won’t let her exploit such a loophole.

Other creatures might be okay to be brought in for a short time, but if they stay inside for a long time, they will either not grow up or be affected by her speed-up card, aging faster, which is bad for the little thing’s health.

Moreover, she rarely has the opportunity or time to enter her personal space now, so even if she leaves the cat there, she doesn’t have time to spend with it.

If she really wants to keep it, she will have to wait until she gets a real courtyard house, sets it up, and then she can keep it there.

She counted on her fingers and figured that it would be at most four or five months before she could prepare to take Dafu out.

Dafu is the name she gave to the black kitten.

Some superstitious beliefs still considers black cats unlucky, so she gave it an auspicious name to counteract that.

The name suited it well; Dafu’s abilities were all auspicious.

With eyes full of doting affection, she quietly said to Dafu: Dafu, just wait a little longer, Mom will take you away in a few months!

“Meow~”

From inside the system inventory, Dafu seemed to sense her meaning and let out a soft, babyish meow.

Yi Qingqing almost couldn’t resist. She realized for the first time that she was a plush toy lover. She finally managed to take her eyes off the kitten and look at the new pet-related magical items that had been added to the system store.

Yi Qingqing clutched her chest. The items were excellent, but unfortunately, they were too expensive.

No wonder later generations said that only wealthy families could afford to keep pets; they were too expensive!
