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

Because she was in good health and Su Suo looked very energetic, she subconsciously ignored the fact that Su Suo was actually a patient and couldn't do the same kind of thing as her.

"..."

Afterwards, Pado glanced apologetically at Ansuo's tent, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did she turn around and leave.

Although it's no longer possible to take my underlings to find the underlings in the establishment, I still want to get that establishment back.

However, before Pado had gone far, a voice suddenly rang in her mind.

'Great, you've got something fun to do like settling scores, and you didn't even include your boss!'

"Oh, so Boss Shi is interested? Could you come and help us out?" Upon hearing this, Pado's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied in her mind.

'Hmph, since you're begging me like this, I won't hold it against you for not calling me earlier. Alright, summon me now!'

'Okay!'

After readily agreeing, Pado quickened her pace and darted into a dark, deserted alleyway not far away.

Then, with a faint light flashed...

Pass--

"The great Herrscher of Knowledge has made her entrance! Let us celebrate!"

P.S.: To be honest, I suddenly lost my touch. This one took 4 hours to make, and no matter how I edited it, I still feel something is off. Do you guys think there's a problem?

Because this chapter took too much time, I'll continue writing the next one. If I can finish it by 2 AM, I'll post it; otherwise, I'll post it tomorrow morning. My health isn't good right now, so I can't stay up all night.

Plans after Chapter 41

"The great Herrscher of Knowledge has made her entrance! Let us celebrate!"

"!"

Xiao Shi's sudden opening remarks startled Pado, who quickly reminded him:

"Shh, keep your voice down, it won't be good if someone finds out."

"Alright, alright, this is really troublesome. I'll be careful. So, what's Pado's plan for tonight?" Xiao Shi asked helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

"There's really no detailed plan. I just intend to help An Suo settle scores and deal with the group that escaped before," Pado replied after stroking her chin and thinking for a moment in response to Xiao Shi's question.

"So, does the boss have any brilliant insights?"

"Then what else is there to say? Of course, we should go find a place to settle the score first." As he spoke, Xiao Shi couldn't help but clench his fist and reveal an excited smile.

“Ansuo is your underling now, and Pado, you are my underling. Of course, an underling's underling is still an underling. Since they dared to steal the money I gave to my underlings, they'll definitely suffer!”

"Oh! The boss is awesome!"

Upon hearing Xiaoshi's decision and declaration, Pado not only had no objections, but also looked at her with bright eyes and praised her.

"Hmph, let's go then."

Faced with Pado's "admiring" gaze and praise, Xiao Shi nodded with great satisfaction.

"Ok!"

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

As time passed, the warm, shining sun gradually climbed into the sky, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the city.

"Well……!"

As An Suo lay in the tent, she groggily opened her eyes. When she focused her gaze on the top of the tent, she froze, her mind going completely blank for a moment.

"Meow~"

However, this situation didn't last long. The gentle meows and the soft touch in her arms quickly brought Miss Purple Rabbit back to her senses. She sat up and exclaimed:

"Ah, I almost forgot I have a new boss. Good morning, canned food."

"Meow~"

Upon hearing this, the canned food let out another soft cry and nuzzled against the antlers in response.

"Wait...did Miss Phyllis wake me up last night?" While petting the cat, An Suo belatedly recalled the vague, dreamlike memory from the middle of the night last night.

"Meow~"

"Oh dear, I hope Miss Phyllis isn't angry!"

As he spoke, An Suo quickly put on his clothes, intending to leave the tent and check the situation outside.

"呲-"

After getting dressed, An Suo unzipped the tent and cautiously peeked out. Before he could even observe, a lazy voice came over.

"You're up! Good morning... I've put your breakfast aside. I just bought something random because I didn't know what you liked to eat."

Upon hearing this, An Suo looked in the direction of the sound and saw Pado lying on a rocking chair that appeared out of nowhere, fast asleep.

"Um... Miss Phyllis, are you still awake, or did you wake up early?"

"Ah~ of course I didn't sleep... I was busy all night last night." Faced with An Suo's cautious question, Pado covered her mouth and yawned before answering slowly.

"So, I'm planning to sunbathe and catch up on sleep this morning. You're free to do whatever you want, but remember to bring your canned food... Oh, and here you go~"

At this point, Pado seemed to suddenly remember something, and slowly sat up, supporting herself with her hands. Then she took out a wad of cash from her pocket and waved it in the direction of An Suo.

"?"

Seeing Pado's actions, An Su tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. If she remembered correctly, she hadn't gone to help last night...?

"Don't be confused, this is the money those guys stole from you. Take it now. If you don't take it, we'll confiscate it!" With that, Pado pretended to stuff the money back into her pocket.

After hearing the story of how the money came about, An Suo was somewhat stunned, but after seeing Pa Duo's actions, he hesitated for a moment before going over to take the money.

"So last night, Miss Phyllis, what you called 'doing a big job' was... You weren't hurt, were you?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're very lucky, we're not that easy to get hurt." With that, Pado smiled and squinted her eyes as she lay back down in the chair.

Getting injured is impossible, especially since Cat wasn't the only one causing trouble last night. Of course, she doesn't plan to tell her little brother about her connection with Xiao Shi yet.

“…That’s good, thank you, Miss Phyllis.” After receiving Pado’s affirmative answer, An Suo looked at her carefully for a while to make sure there were no problems before finally putting the money he was holding away away from his body.

Although Miss Purple Rabbit likes money, she still has some principles. With a relatively ample amount of money in her pocket, if she has...

The money came at the cost of her own cheap "boss" getting injured, so she definitely didn't want it...

Ultimately, her love of money stemmed from the fact that it allowed her to survive...

"Wash up and have breakfast. Remember, remember, if you want to go out, be sure to bring canned food." As she spoke, Pado faced the sunlight and closed her eyes contentedly.

As a fusion warrior, although she had stayed up all night, the cat wasn't actually that tired. The reason she looked so sleepy now was mostly because she was comfortable and relaxed.

However, An Suo was unaware of all this. So after Pado closed her eyes, she glanced at her with a complicated expression and subconsciously softened her movements.

……

Pado, with her eyes closed, did not fall asleep immediately, but silently pondered her next plans and tasks.

She is currently facing two “serious” problems. The first is how she can sneak over to Hua’s place more often to chat with Sister Eden.

Actually, after completing the mission and unlocking Eden yesterday afternoon, Pado didn't rush to summon anyone, because she was currently busy taking care of her underlings and it wasn't convenient.

However, Xiao Shi was so interested that after parting ways with the cat this morning, she went back and summoned Eden.

And just as Pado had guessed, big stars do indeed bring their own wealth, which really made her envious... She couldn't wait to rush over and chat with them.

The second question is that the mission time is almost up, and the reputation bar is not full yet. Who should I steal from next? And what should I steal?

P.S.: More will be available later.

I understand the problem you're pointing out. In my original outline, this volume was just a rather miscellaneous transitional volume, and you could even say it lacked a main storyline. The main storylines of the theft missions were added by me later, but because of the many twists and turns and the fact that they were added later, they are sometimes unclear.

Don't worry, the last three things will definitely be written very clearly and in detail; I'll bring the main storyline back together. As for the connections to other places you mentioned, I'll write about those too, but I haven't gotten to that yet.

Chapter 42: The Incident of the Police Inviting the Thief

To gain reputation points for the mission, Pado will definitely be planning to do something big or steal from important figures in her remaining three thefts.

Because the cat discovered that besides doing big things to make itself widely known, making people of high status aware of or remember it could also increase its reputation.

With just over a week left until the mission's end, Pado still has no idea what to do with the next batch of goods she'll be ordering.

Just as the cat was sunbathing and contemplating with her eyes closed, a slight vibration in her pocket caught her attention, prompting her to fumble for her phone and squint at it.

"...?"

However, after seeing the message on her phone, Pado couldn't help but make the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

alt="cat">

As for what made the cat make such an expression, it's because it saw a strange message from the wrong person.

"Hmm? Did something happen?"

An Suo, who was sitting next to the tent nibbling on a steamed bun, noticed the commotion on Pado's side and asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled and curious.

This was the first time she had ever seen her cheap "boss" with such an indescribable expression.

"Hmm... something has happened. A senior superintendent from the Guard Bureau is inviting me over to receive commendation..."

Meeting An Suo's curious gaze, Pado didn't hide anything, but explained with a strange expression.

"Huh? A compliment?"

This explanation was better left unheard; once heard, An Suo's expression turned strange.

"Look for yourself."

Seeing that An Suo didn't believe her at all, Pado was too lazy to explain anymore and simply threw her phone at her.

"!"

Startled by the phone suddenly tossed towards him, he quickly reached out to catch it. After frantically managing to gather it in his pocket, he said to Pado with a hint of annoyance:

"Ah... Miss Phyllis, be careful. What if you drop it and break it?"

"Oh, I believe you can catch it, An Suo. Even if you don't, it's okay." Hearing this, Pado, who was lying on the chair, waved her hand lazily and said with a smile.

"..."

After hearing Pado's words, An Suo shook his head helplessly and said nothing more, instead looking down at his phone.
