Oh no! I'm surrounded by the main characters!

Turning my head, I saw my cat, as if it had just woken up, stand up and stretch lazily.

Then she opened the refrigerator, skillfully took out two slices of bread, spread butter on them, and added two cherries as a garnish.

It swallowed the bread in its hand in one gulp, patted its belly, and finally slowly returned to its own cat bed and lay down comfortably.

The whole sequence of movements was executed flawlessly; she even knew to take out a blanket and cover herself with it.

Seeing Tom's arrogant lifestyle, Luo Chuan's face darkened instantly, but his eyes lit up the next moment.

How could he have forgotten that?

Isn't Tom a main character too?

Chapter 3 Comedy

After thinking it over, Luo Chuan went to his Tom and picked him up from his peaceful nap.

Tom, held in Luo Chuan's hand, looked at his master with some confusion, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

The next moment, just as Luo Chuan had expected,

The system's electronic voice rang in his ears.

[Ding! Destined protagonist detected: Tom]

[Start Mission: Help Tom defeat his love rival Butch]

[Task Reward: Comedy]

"Tsk, you..."

Looking at Tom's mission description, Luo Chuan looked at his cat with a speechless expression.

I originally thought Tom's task would be something like helping him catch Jerry, which might require some brainpower, but I didn't expect that I had overestimated this guy.

No wonder I've often noticed Tom seems a bit distracted lately.

So Tom has met a rival in love, and it seems he's no match for Butch.

"Comedy? What's that?"

Looking at the mission rewards in the mission description, Luo Chuan also felt a little curious.

"I hope you don't disappoint me, or else..."

After issuing a meaningless threat to a bewildered Tom, Luo Chuan went to the balcony and looked outside.

"Speaking of which, which cat is Butch?"

He stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the neighborhood.

To become Tom's rival in love, one must be active in this area.

He knew most of the neighborhood well; apart from his own Tom, almost no one else owned a cat.

So, the other cat is most likely a stray.

As he was pondering, a figure entered his field of vision.

Luo Chuan's gaze was fixed on the bushes not far away, and he recognized his target at a glance.

The reason Luo Chuan was certain that the black cat was Tom's rival, Butch, was because it looked so familiar at first glance.

This black stray cat looks a bit dirty and messy. Perhaps because it has been a stray for many years, it has a strong physique and looks fierce. It is a completely different style from Tom, a pampered house cat.

"Help Tom defeat Butch..."

Luo Chuan pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed the property management number.

"Hello, is this the property management? There's a stray cat here... Yes... Okay, you can handle it."

As soon as the call ended, a group of security guards arrived.

The group worked together to pull the black cat Butch into a cage and then took it away.

Seeing the property management's swift and efficient actions, Luo Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

He recalled that in the new version of the story, the black cat Butch often bullied Tom because he envied Tom's carefree home life.

Now that I'm lending a helping hand, it's in a way helping it fulfill its wish.

Of course, there are two small costs involved.

"Roar!!"

Just as Luo Chuan was congratulating himself on gaining another merit, a triumphant laugh suddenly rang out beside him.

Turning his head, he saw that Tom had somehow gotten close to him.

One paw rested on his side, while the other pointed towards Butch, who was being carried away.

He was bent over, laughing so hard he was doubled over, with a gloating expression on his face.

Seeing Tom laughing so hard he could barely breathe, Luo Chuan's face twitched violently.

With a slight bend in the fingertips, a crisp, clean tap landed on its round cat head.

"Still laughing? You need me to help you get rid of a love rival? All that milk you drank was for nothing."

The next moment, a system notification sounded in my ear.

[Task Completed]

[Reward: Comedy]

[Comedy Transformation: Allows you to temporarily transform your body into a comedic form. In this state, your body can break through conventional physical limitations, freely changing its shape. Damage taken during this time can be quickly repaired and healed. Furthermore, you can assimilate your enemies and the surrounding environment within a certain area.]

Looking at the description of the mission rewards, Luo Chuan couldn't help but gasp.

What the hell!

Am I now a Nika?

They say you should never try to outfight a comedic character, so why don't I just become a comedic character?

Just by looking at the ability description, Luo Chuan could sense how abnormal this ability was.

Isn't this just Tom's immortality?

With a thought, Luo Chuan instantly activated his comedic ability.

He vaguely sensed that something was changing in his body, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly where.

"Try moving it."

But the next moment, Luo Chuan sensed something was wrong.

Even though I had the intention to move, why didn't my body react at all?

Looking down, I saw my legs starting to spin like two propellers.

He had only ever seen such exaggerated performances in anime in his previous life.

Before he could figure out how to stop, the enormous thrust generated by the rotation suddenly erupted.

He shot straight toward the wall like an arrow released from a bow.

Boom!

A muffled thud made the wall tremble slightly.

"Depend on!"

Luo Chuan hurriedly helped himself up from the wall and quickly turned to look at the full-length mirror beside him.

The reflection in the mirror showed that half of her face had been squeezed into a thin plane, her features distorted beyond recognition.

He subconsciously reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, giving it a gentle tug. His entire face appeared elongated and stretched considerably.

After I let go, it bounced back to its original position softly, without any pain.

"That's the power of comedy..."

Luo Chuan raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, which had returned to normal, feeling only amazement.

No wonder they say you shouldn't compare your fighting strength with comedic characters; just this one move of ignoring the laws of physics is abnormal enough.

Just as Luo Chuan wanted to continue experimenting with other comedic abilities, a sudden feeling of weakness surged from his limbs and bones, instantly engulfing his entire body.

As if all his strength had been drained in an instant, Luo Chuan staggered and grabbed the edge of the table for support.

[Energy depleted, comedic phase over.]

The strange feeling of lightness and freedom from physical constraints quickly faded away.

Luo Chuan slumped in the chair, panting heavily, and it took him a long time to recover.

It seems that while this comedic ability is strong, it also has many side effects.

At least for now, I can only use it in an emergency.

Otherwise, we might not even be able to deal with the enemy before we're overwhelmed ourselves.

Even so, Luo Chuan was already quite satisfied. After all, with this move, he had some means of survival in this world of anime and manga.

"Ding--"
