Yi Qingqing glanced over the huge pile of items that looked ridiculously expensive at first glance. Her gaze fell on the first item that seemed to be a big giveaway from the system store.
[Mystic Cat Care Manual]
[Introduction: Mystic cats are mysterious creatures; different care methods will determine their different futures. If you want it to be your long-term companion, please read this care manual carefully before adopting.]
[Price: Free for a limited time]
[Quantity: 1]
This was the first time Yi Qingqing had ever seen anything free in the system store, so she figured that she might as well take advantage of it.
She immediately took one.
The care manual was thin and small and didn’t seem to contain much information.
However, she was still standing outside the Cold Palace. Although Ah Yuan was very tolerant of her strange behavior, it was not good to make Ah Yuan ‘stand as punishment’ with her. So she pulled him to a nice place outside and sat down for the time being. (T/N: Well, actually, you can see it in your dorm room, where you have more time, since it’s not urgent anyway. No need to see it right away. Poor Ah Yuan~)
“Ah Yuan, let’s sit here for a while.” Yi Qingqing said, giving him two candies to sweeten his mouth before starting to look at the booklet.
[Mystic Cat Care Manual]
[1. Wild Breeding Route: Raised in a wild, untamed environment, abilities not readily apparent, lack of bondage, cat lifespan 15 years, suitable for breeding at will.]
[Wild Breeding Instructions: 1. Give it food when it’s hungry, but it’s okay if you don’t; it will go out and forage for food on its own when it’s hungry. 2. Give it shelter from the wind and rain, but it’s okay if you don’t; it will find a wall or corner to lie down on its own.]
[2. Careful Nurturing Route: With meticulous care, its talents will flourish, leading to a long lifespan, starting at 20 years, dying alongside its owner, becoming a spirit to accompany them in the afterlife, and following them for eternity.]
[Careful Nurturing Instructions: 1. The cat’s diet can usually be the same as the owner’s, but occasionally, you should prepare special homemade cat food according to the ‘Mystic Cat’s Favorite Cat Food Recipes’ to increase the bond and understanding between owner and pet, as well as the cat’s spirituality. The stronger the spirituality, the stronger the protective ability; 2. During the breeding season, prepare contraceptive cat treats to prevent pregnancy (male cats do not need this). Once a female cat becomes pregnant, she will no longer be able to eat longevity cat treats; 3. Every nine years, prepare a longevity cat treat for the cat (counting from birth, the first one is the ninth year after birth). In this way, the cat’s lifespan can be extended to the time it dies alongside its owner, thus beginning the bond, deepening the connection to the soul, and ensuring the cat’s spirit lives on, accompanying it in the afterlife, following it through countless lifetimes.]
The booklet is thin, containing only this much information: two breeding routes.
In summary, it’s either ‘buy nothing and raise whatever you want’ or ‘buy everything and empty your wallet to raise whatever you want’.
But after seeing the line ‘live a long lifespan, die with its owner, become a cat spirit, accompany the underworld, and follow for eternity’, Yi Qingqing insisted on choosing the second option.
Once you have a pet, your biggest worry is that they won’t stay with you for long, and you’ll be heartbroken when they leave.
She hadn’t even taken Dafu out of the card yet, yet she couldn’t bear to see it die.
However, if she chose the second option, she’d have to get all sorts of things like ‘Cat Food Recipes’, contraceptive cat treats, and longevity cat treats.
These are the real big expenses!
