I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Cat was aware of her own limitations. Unlike Snake Sister and the others who were modest, she was genuinely weak. Was the title "weakest hero" a joke?

Although Xiao Shi had said she would protect her, one cannot stay in Longmen forever, so she decided to leave herself an out, so that it would be convenient for the next time.

After selecting a safe to place in the space, Paddo continued to explore the large room where the goods were stored.

However, because there were so many safes, she didn't find anything particularly rare outside.

After confirming that there was nothing sparkly or shiny in the building that she could go to, Pado quickly packed up her things, took some snacks from the table in the accommodation area, and quietly left Penguin Logistics.

After leaving Penguin Logistics, the cat didn't relax immediately. Instead, she cautiously headed straight for the slums... She preferred to handle the goods in "small corners" rather than in the bustling city.

Moreover, the process of handling this batch of goods might be quite a big one.

……

Penguin Logistics, Employee Accommodation Area —

"...?"

Exusiai, half asleep, got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. When she glanced at the empty table in the living room by the light of her halo, she subconsciously stopped and rubbed her eyes.

However, no matter how many times she rubbed her eyes... when she opened them again, all she saw was an empty table.

"!?"

P.S.: I only barely got a feel for this part towards the end. There are just too many characters to write about, and many of them I'm not even a fan of, making it a bit overwhelming. To be continued...

Chapter 5: The Incident of a Thief Exploiting a Police Superintendent

Penguin Logistics —

"So, just because I wasn't here last night, our Penguin Logistics got robbed? Or were the goods you just picked up yesterday? How dare you be so brazen?"

At that moment, an emperor penguin wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt, a knitted hat, and glasses asked several of its employees a question.

“Yes, and the thief’s target was very clear: yesterday’s goods,” Texas, the Lupo girl standing to the side, replied earnestly.

"Not only that, I think this person has been watching this shipment for a while, and his intelligence capabilities and physical abilities must be very strong."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to determine the location of the goods without damaging other safes, and then quietly take them away along with the safes they were stored in."

After listening to Texas's words, Croissant chimed in.

Listening to her companions' analysis, Exusiai, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but speak up and complain:

"So, why did such a skilled thief steal the snacks I just bought?"

"That's really something, it's been a long time since I've encountered this situation." Faced with his employees' flurry of reports, the Emperor tapped the table with his flippers, or rather, his hands, and said:

"However, no matter who it is, since they've provoked Penguin Logistics, we must find them and make them pay the price!"

"..."

----------------

the other side--

In the early morning, after dealing with the safe containing the goods, Pado found a rooftop in the slums where she could easily hide and bask in the sun and relax comfortably.

"Yesterday was definitely worth it! I'm rich! I'm rich!"

As she spoke, Pado, who was lying on the roof basking in the sun, took out a dazzling gem from her spatial storage and admired it in the sun.

"Meow~"

To be honest, before opening the safe last night, Pado really didn't know that it contained a box of high-quality, sparkling gems.

Although the cat still doesn't know if the goods it received were the same ones Exia had yesterday, it doesn't matter anymore...

She didn't think there was any other cargo that could make her happier than a box of sparkling gems.

"However, if it's a gemstone, it's a bit tricky... It's hard to sell, and I also want to collect it." Muttering to herself, Pado shook her long tail in a conflicted manner.

"Meow~" As if noticing Pado's dilemma, the canned food next to her meowed softly twice, offering its "suggestion".

"Hmm... Does the canned food mean I'll leave the gems behind and use my own money to exchange for items to help everyone?" Hearing the call in her ear, Paddo's wildly wagging tail stopped, and she perked up.

"Meow."

"That's a good idea. Ah~ But it's still early, let's take a nap first." With that, Pado yawned and began to slowly clear her mind of thoughts and trivial matters.

However, before she could completely clear her mind, the system's electronic voice suddenly rang in her head, startling away much of her drowsiness.

[Ding, exclusive mission triggered]

[Limited-time mission: Make 10 "purchases" within one month, establish your reputation in Lungmen, and announce the arrival of the great thief.]

[Quest Reward: Exclusive Weapon: Dream of the Past - Night's Eye]

[Make 10 purchases from Beatrice Swire, with no time limit.]

[Mission Reward: (Gold) Eden unlocked.]

[Note: The number of purchases for the two tasks can overlap.]

"!?"

After hearing the details of the system's mission, Pado suddenly began to suspect that the system had a grudge against her and Swire...

If there's no grudge, why not just die quickly enough and make a name for yourself? And why make yourself relentlessly exploit Swire?

A thief catches a policeman and tries to fleece him... and does it 10 times! Isn't that a bit exciting?

"..."

After a moment of subtle silence, Pado shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and lay down again.

"Forget it, I'll leave these troublesome things to me after I wake up."

What a joke! Nothing is more important to a cat than sunbathing and sleeping soundly.

"Canned food, remember to call me when it's almost time..."

"Meow~"

------------------

After lazily lounging on someone else's rooftop until the afternoon, Pado finally sprang into action again. Of course, this time her mission wasn't to buy goods, but rather to gather intelligence and scout out the location.

Forget about other rich people, even Swire's house—who knows where her cat is now? If we want to complete the mission, we definitely need to scout it out.

However, unless absolutely necessary (meaning seeing something she really liked), Pato didn't intend to make a move on Swire from the start. After all, Swire's status was undeniable...

If you provoke them from the start, completing the first task will be difficult. The cat can't possibly have two tasks stacked together, frantically fleecing Swire, can it?

Putting aside the issue of fame, it's all just cats fighting each other, why the rush...?

……

Lungmen Guard Bureau

"Thank you all for working with us so late today. I'll treat you all to a meal later."

Swire, a young woman with long, curly blonde hair, spoke to the other officers after finishing her work in the office.

"Great!"

"Oh!"

As Swire's voice faded, many police officers cheered.

Even her colleague Hoshiguma, standing next to her, couldn't help but exclaim, "Looks like we'll be able to have a couple of drinks tonight."

"Hoshiguma, you should drink less alcohol," Swire said helplessly after hearing what the person next to her said.

"It's okay since you won't get drunk. By the way, Chen, are you coming?" As he spoke, Hoshiguma turned to look at his friend Chen Huijie, who was organizing documents in the distance, and asked.

"I won't go. I have some things to do tonight." Upon hearing this, Chen shook her head gently, declining her colleague's invitation.

"Hmph, take it or leave it." Although Chen's answer was not unexpected by Swire, she still couldn't help but snort.

"Sigh... I was too talkative, you two stop arguing..." Seeing the atmosphere getting a little awkward, Hoshiguma quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Who wants to argue with her?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei raised an eyebrow and said in a calm tone.

"you……"

P.S.: There are so many characters, the game crashed. These chapters are completely pieced together, the quality is poor, and thankfully it took time. I spent a whole afternoon writing them, and the more I wanted to write, the less I could...

Chapter 6 The Price of the Key to the Swire House

"Then I'll head back too, Hoshiguma. Be careful on the road." After watching the officers she had brought out for dinner leave, Swire turned to Hoshiguma, who was still standing to the side, and said.

"Don't worry, I won't encounter any danger in Lungmen." Hoshiguma scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Well, see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to her colleagues, Swire glanced at the completely dark sky, then turned and left, heading towards home.

She already worked late today, and then treated the officers to a meal out. Now, all Swire wants to do is go home early, take a nice shower, and lie in bed.

Since the dinner location wasn't far from the Guard Bureau building and Swire's villa, and given her frugal nature—preferring to save money wherever possible—she decided to walk home instead of taking public transportation.

However, at that moment, she was so anxious to get home that she didn't notice that a pair of eyes were secretly watching her and observing her every move.

……

Pado spent a lot of time in the afternoon gathering intelligence and purchasing supplies. After finishing these tasks, she leisurely strolled around the vicinity of the Guard Bureau, hoping to find out where Swire lived.

As for why they didn't just investigate directly, the cat only had one thing to say: "The evil rich people..."

Swire's family owns a huge territory in Lungmen, with several districts. Even with a simple investigation, Pado couldn't figure out where she was currently living in just one afternoon... So why not try her luck here and just follow her directly?
