Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Seeing that Bronya was still deep in thought, Fu Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I've agreed to your request for me to be your Anti-Entropy singer! But I'm not going to work! I don't want to be a corporate slave clocking in and out every day!"

Bronya's scheme succeeded, and she nodded naturally: "Okay, but if you don't work, you'll only get the minimum wage."

Chapter 110 Black Cat

"Guaranteed minimum, guaranteed minimum!" Fu Shi declared firmly. "I'm not short of money!"

As the vice master of the prestigious Taixu Martial Arts Academy, he was naturally not short of money; otherwise, he wouldn't have directly rejected Bronya's invitation in the first place.

Li Sushang, listening nearby, rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "He's not short of money, yet he only gave me a hundred yuan! Such a stingy person!"

As for the fact that Bai Qianqu is Qu Yin, Li Sushang doesn't care much. She rarely listens to music, but reads novels more often.

The novel I'm currently reading, "The King's Avatar," is so good! It's a shame that after I finish it, I have to wait until next month for the next update, which is really annoying.

If we can find that author, we must lock him in a dark room and relentlessly urge him to update!

Bai Qianqu suddenly felt a chill down her back, which was quite inexplicable.

"Alright! See you tomorrow!" After making the agreement with Bai Qianqu, Fu Shi didn't dawdle and downed his beer in one gulp. "Su Chang, let's go back!"

Li Sushang stuffed two more apples into her arms before helping the slightly drunk Fu Shi walk up the mountain.

After seeing Fu Shi and the other person off, Bai Qianqu and Bronya also walked back along the road. The November night was already a bit chilly, and the gentle evening breeze carried autumn leaves to the ground.

For some reason, there were no pedestrians on this road at this moment, only Bai Qianqu and Bronya walking side by side. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange.

Perhaps to ease the awkward atmosphere, Bronya took the initiative to say:

"Once your song recording is finished tomorrow, it will be a relief, and you can then fully focus on the new singer competition. This year's competition is different from previous years, so you need to take it seriously."

"What's wrong with this year's new singer competition? You seem to take it very seriously." Bai Qianqu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Insider information,” Bronya said in a low voice, “It is said that the judges invited this time are all highly respected singers and songwriters, which shows that the higher-ups attach great importance to this year’s new singer competition.”

"Anyway, if you and Ying can achieve good results in the competition, it will be beneficial for both of your future development."

Listening to Bronya's words, Bai Qianqu nodded silently without saying anything.

Ying has been practicing this song with Anti-Entropy for a while, and he has seen it all. Judging from Ying's current performance, as long as he doesn't mess up during the competition, he will definitely get a good ranking.

Just as the two turned a corner, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by, startling Bronya.

She instinctively moved closer to Bai Qianqu, but in the dark, she ended up pressed against him—

"thump!"

Bronya's heart skipped a beat when she felt Bai Qianqu's warmth, and she blushed instantly. She wanted to retreat and leave quickly, but for some inexplicable reason, she didn't act immediately.

Bai Qianqu was also startled, but when he looked closely, he found that it was just a small black cat meowing at him from not far away.

Looking at Bronya trembling in her arms, Bai Qianqu almost burst out laughing.

I never imagined that such a strong and capable woman would be so frightened by a cat. If word got out, she would definitely be silenced.

Thinking of this, Bai Qianqu could no longer laugh.

"Ahem, it's alright, Bronya, it's just a little cat."

"Huh? Ah! Oh!" Bronya seemed to wake up from a dream, blushing as she straightened up from Bai Qianqu's arms.

Bronya was in a state of utter panic. Luckily, no one was around, or she probably would have gone berserk.

Seeing Bronya standing there silently, Bai Qianqu swallowed hard, fearing he would be silenced. He quickly said, "That kitten keeps meowing at us, could something be wrong?"

Hearing this, Bronya calmed down a little, but her face was still flushed.

She was somewhat relieved that it was nighttime and Bai Qianqu couldn't see the expression on her face, otherwise she would have really been in trouble.

Bronya took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, saying, "Something may have indeed happened. People believe that all things have a spirit, and this little cat may want our help with something."

As Bronya finished speaking, the little black cat started walking in one direction, looking back every few steps.

"Follow me."

The two followed the kitten to the roadside, where they were greeted by a truly shocking scene.

A large black cat lay motionless on the roadside, covered in blood. A small black cat approached and circled the big cat twice, meowing continuously.

However, it was clear that the big cat had lost its vital signs.

“It must have been run over by a passing car.” Bronya looked at the scene before her, shook her head with a pang of pity, went over and stroked the big cat’s body, then flipped its eyelids over. “It’s beyond saving, it’s already stiff.”

The kitten next to her couldn't understand Bronya's words. It kept meowing and even nudged the big cat's body.

Bronya sighed and said to Bai Qianqu, "It's not good to leave it here. Let's dig a hole and bury it."

The two of them dug a simple hole with tree branches and buried the big cat.

The kitten kept meowing throughout, which made Bai Qianqu feel quite uncomfortable.

“These things happen every day, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Bronya patted Bai Qianqu on the shoulder. “Don’t think too much about it.”

"What about this little cat?" Bai Qianqu looked at the little black cat still sitting at her feet. It looked around anxiously, its small body pressed tightly against Bai Qianqu's legs, and it trembled from time to time.

“I know someone who works at a pet hospital. Let’s take it there for a check-up first,” Bronya said, picking up her phone and making a call.

While Bronya was on the phone, Bai Qianqu crouched down to take a closer look at the little black cat. He discovered that the cat actually had heterochromia (two colored eyes). At this moment, it was also staring at Bai Qianqu, and the two of them stared at each other like that.

He reached out and stroked the kitten's head. The kitten didn't resist; instead, it affectionately rubbed against Bai Qianqu's hand.

"This cat seems to like you." Bronya returned after making the call and squatted down next to Bai Qianqu, then exclaimed in surprise, "My friend is on duty right now, let's just go over there—heterochromatic eyes!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Qianqu asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's rare to see black cats with heterochromia, usually it's white cats with heterochromia." Bronya stroked the kitten. "This kitten looks like it was born not long ago, I don't know if it's been weaned yet, it looks very weak, let's go to the vet quickly."

Bai Qianqu nodded, picked up the kitten, and got into Bronya's car. The two headed towards the pet hospital.

Chapter 111 The King of Cold Jokes

On the way, the kitten became very quiet in Bai Qianqu's hands, its heterochromatic pupils staring at him the whole time.

Bai Qianqu was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I want to keep it."

"You own a cat?" Bronya asked, somewhat surprised. "Do you know how to own a cat?"

Bai Qianqu shook her head: "I've never raised one."

Bronya: ...

"Fine, if you want to keep one, go ahead. Xing already has two cats; you can ask her if you need help with anything." Bronya finally nodded. "Why did you suddenly decide to get a cat?"

"I just feel like we can get along." Bai Qianqu picked up the kitten. "From now on, your name will be Coal Ball."

Bronya sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Couldn't you come up with a nicer name?"

"Then... Schrödinger?"

Bronya: "Are you serious?"

"Okay, let's call him Gromy."

Upon hearing the name, the kitten meowed in agreement.

"Looks like you agree, Gromi." Bai Qianqu lifted the kitten up. "From now on, we're on the same team!"

"How come you're all in the same group... You sound like bandits." Bronya complained helplessly. "Alright, we've arrived."

As soon as Bai Qianqu entered, she saw a girl with a single side Roman curl, wearing a black cat-ear hat, and a gloomy temperament coming to greet her.

Bronya greeted her, "I'm sorry, Schrödinger, I'll have to trouble you again today."

Bai Qianqu:? ? ? ! ! ! Σ(っ°Д°)っ

He had an urge to grab the cat and run away.

"Qianqu, where are you going? Schrödinger is a famous veterinarian, you should take the cat to him for a check-up." Bronya grabbed Bai Qianqu by the back of her collar.

Having no other choice, Bai Qianqu handed the cat to Schrödinger and then stared intently at her.

Schrödinger, on the other hand, remained quite indifferent, completely unfazed by Bai Qianqu's aggressive gaze, and calmly began his inspection.

About twenty minutes later, she came out of the room.

"There's nothing wrong, just a little weak. To be on the safe side, I'll keep you here for two days to observe you, get you dewormed and vaccinated. Once everything is fine, you can take you away."

"That's good, thank you for your trouble." Bronya was very polite to Schrödinger.

"It's nothing. If it weren't for your financial support, my place would have gone bankrupt long ago." Although Schrödinger's tone was devoid of emotion, it was clear that she was still very grateful to Bronya. "Please give my regards to Professor Planck when you have time."

"OK, all right."

After leaving the pet hospital, Bronya drove Bai Qianqu back home.

“Schrödinger was originally Professor Planck’s assistant, but later became a veterinarian.” Bronya comforted Bai Qianqu, seeing that she still seemed a little worried. “Don’t worry, Schrödinger’s skills are very good. She can save a lot of pets every year.”

Bai Qianqu: "Okay."

He still felt something was off, but he figured she would take good care of the little black cat.

It was already 10:30 when Bai Qianqu got home. After taking a shower, she turned on her computer.

There's no other way; even at this late hour, I have to keep writing. After all, it's the duty of every writer—I have to write at least four thousand words every day!

Of course, Bai Qianqu definitely wrote more than 4,000 words. Even if he slowed down, he could still write more than 10,000 words in an hour. In order to complete the next 100,000-word task as soon as possible, he increased his speed and wrote a full 50,000 words in two hours.

When he saw that it was midnight, he finally went to bed satisfied.

However, just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang. Bai Qianqu reluctantly picked it up and saw that it was a message from Da Yaya.

However, on Bai Qianqu's phone, Bronya's contact name is: Super cute little angel Bronya (???).

Looking at the note, Bai Qianqu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Luckily, Bronya on the other side didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't dare to laugh like that.

He didn't know that his nickname on Bronya's end was: "The cunning and ruthless villain who pretends to be weak but actually gets hurt (●—●)".

So the conversation between the two went like this:

【The super cute little angel Bronya (???): Is Chiku asleep yet?】

[Qianqu, the cunning and ruthless villain who pretends to be weak but is actually strong: Not yet, what's wrong?]

[The incredibly cute little angel Bronya (???): It's nothing, just checking if you were asleep.]
