He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 366: Does the toilet paper make Li Ji's participation in the exhibition hopeless?
Li Ji's story was something he dug up from short videos on the internet. Many bloggers use this kind of story, but he didn't expect that Mao Xiaohua would see through it. Is it possible that the stories in the world have really run out?

He put away the sand painting and took out a papyrus painting.

The paper is rough and yellowed, and it is decorated with images from the ancient Egyptian period.

Cat Flower gave a wry smile: "Tell me, what's the story behind this piece of toilet paper, meow?"

Somewhat embarrassed, Li Ji crumpled the papyrus into a tube: "Maybe I shouldn't say anything?"

"No way, what if it's a very philosophical butt, meow?"

"Wait a minute." Li Ji noticed the blind spot. "People don't use toilet paper to wipe their butts anymore, do they? Where did you get that idea?"

Cat Flower shrugged: "We're holding a primitive civilization exhibition, and this isn't the first piece of toilet paper to be exhibited."

Li Ji began to tell the story of this papyrus.

"Papyrus itself has no story; it is just an ordinary intangible cultural heritage, and it is simply the earliest paper on Earth that can be verified."

Nevertheless, papyrus differs greatly from modern paper and cannot be compared to Cai Lun's paper; it is more similar to bamboo slips.

Using it to wipe your bottom can easily irritate hemorrhoids.

"However, the story behind this piece of paper is quite unusual. I traded buying straw paper for the story of the old lady who sells paper."

"Her husband once worked as a miner and went deep into an ancient underground tomb. After he came out, his personality changed drastically. His eyes would glow green, and his impotence was cured. Then he mysteriously disappeared. The old lady still doesn't know where her husband is."

"But I discovered the secret behind this. It turns out there is a subterranean civilization where the lizard people can use optical mimicry to transform into human form and take her husband's place."

Cat Xiaohua leaned forward, her brows slightly furrowed, listening intently.

"Good story, meow."

Li Ji thought to himself that everything was settled. As long as one exhibit was successfully submitted for the exhibition, he would be connected with Master Barney.

Then Cat Flower asked a question that struck right to the soul.

"The story is good, but where's the philosophy, meow?"

Li Ji was stumped by the question. After thinking it over and over again, he said with utmost seriousness, "Don't be misled by appearances. As the Buddha said, 'Don't be attached to appearances.' Instead, investigate their essence."

What are you chattering about, meow?

Buddhism, a religion of the earth, has many philosophical ideas.

"I don't listen to primitive philosophy, meow. I don't think this thing has any philosophy, meow. Even putting that aside, it's not aesthetically pleasing either. Among all the toilet paper available, this one isn't the prettiest, meow."

Li Ji stared incredulously at the exquisite replica of an ancient Egyptian image on the papyrus, and asked in astonishment, "Can other people's toilet paper be prettier than mine? Can they carve patterns on their excrement?"

Cat Flower nodded: "Yes, meow."

"Sorry to bother you." Li Ji silently put the papyrus away.

He then took out a gold ring from his bag, with a ruby ​​pendant on it, and the ring still had some patina stains on it.

"This is a 6000-year-old gold ring, which was a burial item of an ancient Egyptian nobleman."

"Bored meow."

Li Ji then took out another piece of yellowed bandage.

"These are the bandages used to wrap a mummy. Mummies are dried corpses from ancient Egypt that can remain intact for thousands of years. It has now been confirmed that this technology was introduced to Earth by dogs."

Cat Flower spread her hands helplessly: "You even took out the cloth strips for wrapping cured meat, meow?"

Li Ji sighed; there was nothing new left in his backpack.

“I have one more thing, but it’s not here; it’s on my spaceship.”

"Let's go see the cat."

Lee Ki left the American Hair Center with a heavy heart.

He only had that one treasured possession left. If it didn't work out, he would lose the opportunity to participate in the exhibition, and his dream of socializing through Master Barney would be shattered.

They arrived in front of the pink Motuo spaceship.

"Go up."

"Is this your spaceship, meow?" Cat Flower circled the spaceship in astonishment, her eyes filled with its pink color.

"Yes."

"Now I finally know why the groundhog is being nice to you, meow."

Cat Xiaohua leaned against the spaceship door, winked at Li Ji, and nervously fiddled with the brown fur on her neck with one hand.

"I'm not that kind of materialistic cat. Your idea of ​​seducing me with a luxury spaceship is wrong, cat."

After saying that, she swallowed.

"You seem to have taken the bait automatically."

"Haha! I caught you! You were trying to seduce me, meow!"

"I don't! Get on the boat quickly."

Cat Flower said affectedly, "Oh? You're inviting me, meow? Trying to use its luxurious interior to pry open my heart, meow?"

Are you going to go or not?

"Come on meow!"

The spaceship's door flipped open, and the two boarded.

Luo Xi greeted him warmly, "My dear master, you've got a new cat again, meow."

"This is my partner, don't talk nonsense, and what are you meowing for, you AI?"

Cat Flower frowned and said, "Looks like you've tricked quite a few cat girls onto the spaceship, meow?"

"What the hell! I asked you to come here to see the treasure!"

Cat Flower said coquettishly, "You're so mean, you're not my darling, meow!"

"What are you doing!"

Rosie also said inappropriately, "It seems I shouldn't be here."

After he finished speaking, the lights inside the spaceship switched to an ambiguous and dim pink.

"What the hell is this!"

Cat Flower pointed at Li Ji playfully and said, "You said you didn't want to pursue me, but I think you were prepared all along, meow!"

"Can't you wake up, you infatuated fool?! I brought you up here to see this coffin!"

Following the direction Li Jichu pointed, there stood an ancient Egyptian golden coffin, its atmosphere oscillating between horror and eroticism under the ambiguous pink light.

Cat Flower looked the coffin up and down: "What is this, meow?"

Li Ji explained, "This is a coffin I brought back from the tomb beneath the Sphinx. It's about seven thousand years old, and its original owner was the Golden High Priest. Because it involves the Interstellar Alliance, this coffin couldn't stay on Earth, so I brought it back."

"It signifies the influence of the golden statues on early Earth civilizations. Please see our upcoming paper for details. I've excerpted this part and sent it to you."

Li Ji transmitted this information to Mao Xiaohua, who nodded after reading it.

"The storytelling is pretty good, meow. If it had some academic backing, this part would be passable, meow. As for the aesthetics, it's not bad for a coffin, meow."

She took a wooden toy slingshot out of the coffin and played with it. It seemed to be the slingshot that Shark had forgotten in the coffin before.

"But the philosophical part doesn't seem to fit, meow. Why don't you try making something up, meow?"

Li Ji's three eyes all looked to the upper left as he pondered deeply.

"This symbolizes death—"

Cat Flower pulled back the slingshot and aimed it at him.

Lee quickly retorted, "That's definitely not acceptable. It expresses racial relations—"

Cat Flower pulled the slingshot even tighter.
