Chapter 1 - Orange Tabby Cat (1)

In the slightly dark alley, a pile of trash was already buried over the trash can. The humming flies and the stench reeking from heaps of garbage had caused almost no one to approach this alley.

At sunset on the western border, a shadow suddenly appeared in the alleyway, stretched by the setting sun — it was a cat.

A Chinese domestic orange tabby cat.

Out of ten orange tabby cats, nine of them were fat, but still there was only one cat especially fat.

This orange tabby cat also wasn’t an exception. It apparently weighed at least 10 kilograms or even more. It was so fat that even its neck couldn’t be seen.

The first visual impression it gave to people was that, except for being round, it was also really fat.

In reality, the orange tabby cat was extremely hungry right now. He already hadn’t eaten anything for the entire day.

Right! It’s a ‘he’ and not an ‘it’.

The orange tabby cat was originally named ‘Yu Jia Tang’, who was a male human in his previous world. He was a 28-year-old university professor.

When he went to the top of a famous daoist mountain [2] for sightseeing, he unexpectedly fell down from the mountain. When he woke up again, his soul was already inside this orange tabby cat’s body that weighed 10 kilograms.

“King, seriously, can you give me some food on credit first? Otherwise, I will starve to death before my target appears.”

‘King’ was the system that allowed Yu Jia Tang to transmigrate. Its full name was ‘Cat King System’ and its nickname was King. It thought that just by being called King, those two words, it could be more intimidating. [1]

“You don’t say it again. I am not that kind of system. If you want some food, you can use cat currency to exchange. No credit is due.” King still seized the chance to attach an instructing director’s solemn face.jpg.

Yu Jia Tang sighed after hearing what it said and looked at the front of the stinking garbage heap. Has he really fallen so low to the point that he has to rummage for food in the garbage heap?

No, even if his current body wasn’t an ordinary cat and had been transformed into first class by King when he transmigrated so it would be able to resist most food and diseases, but that didn’t mean that it might not have any problems in accepting these moldy and rancid foods with various harmful bacteria in the garbage heap.

Not to mention the taste, if in case something went wrong after eating, he would die. As a novice who had never even completed a mission, he didn’t have the chance to start over again.

Yu Jia Tang lifted one of his paws to rub the fat in his belly and felt that he completely relied on the fats of his body to survive.

“Reminder for the host. The mission target already appeared. Do you want to open the map to look over the specific position?”

Yu Jia Tang’s orange cat pupil brightened for a moment. The very round cat face exposed a very unusual anthropomorphistic smiling expression. “Open the map faster.”

As soon as the command transmitted within his consciousness, a virtual map that could be only seen by him appeared right before his eyes.

On the map, the mission target’s position was a red dot while the other person’s was a blue dot.

“Hold on, King, why is the mission target moving so much faster? Did I misread the map’s scales?”

King sent out an eye rolling expression to him, “Could it be that you don’t know that there is a thing called a ‘car’ within this world? The mission target is in his car and just driving over towards this side. It is estimated that he would arrive after a few minutes.”

Yu Jia Tang couldn’t believe it. “Are you joking with me? Even if I lost 5kg like this, I still wouldn’t be nimble enough to overtake a car!”

King felt as if he had chosen a retarded host.

However, since it was the host of his choice, it would try to save its host even if it had to kneel. Thus, he dumped Yu Jia Tang a few videos.

Yu Jia Tang swept a glance over and felt more astonished, “Do you think that I’m foolish? Is the possibility for a cat to succeed in scamming people by setting up an accident for compensation higher or is the possibility for the cat directly being crushed to death higher?”

King spread his hands: “All depended on luck.”
