Rules of the Strange: I Can See Through All the Weird

It's confirmed, this is a purebred black and white cat.

"This silly cat, does it think I'm provoking it?"

Upon hearing the words "silly cat," the little black cat was clearly displeased. It retracted its claws and pounced on Qi Tong.

The cat king attempted to crush the woman who called it stupid with its own weight.

Qi Tong opened his arms and caught it steadily.

"Oh dear, Liu Zi, look! It's begging for a hug!"

There are too many cows and not enough milk, so the little black cat looks like it's asking:

"Let's give it a name!"

Qi Tong held the cat in one arm and stroked her chin with the other.

"How about we name him... Little Black?"

[Host, this is way too generic.]

╮ (╯_╰) ╭

"Then let's call it..." Qi Tong pondered for a while, and then his eyes lit up.

"Take my surname! Call me Qi Liuhai!"

【good......】

"What do you think, Rokuzoku? You think it's good too, right?"

[It sounds awful.]

"What kind of taste do you have? This has both of us, isn't it good enough?"

【This is a great host. ¯_(͠°͟ʖ°͠)_/¯】

System666 thought to itself, "Luckily, I have a name."

Otherwise, given the host's terrible naming skills, who knows what kind of outrageous name he might have chosen.

"Praying for the Six Seas? *slurp slurp*"

"Pray to the Six Seas~ Six Seas~"

Qi Liuhai seemed very dissatisfied with the name and stretched out his chubby little hand to cover Qi Tong's mouth.

"Hey, Liu Zi, look, Qi Liu Hai seems quite satisfied with this name."

Where can I buy its cat food and other necessities?

【Host, please open the store again and take a look.】

Qi Tong summoned the shop again.

The only blind box item in the pet category is gone; it's been replaced by a bunch of pet supplies.

Is there a limit of one pet blind box per person?

Qi Tong browsed through the store, buying several portions of cat food, cat treats, canned food, and cat litter.

The most basic cat bed, cat bowl, and scratching post are all provided.

I bought it for my child, so I'm not afraid to spend the money. Even in this eerie world, I'll still be a cat lover.

When it came time to buy a cat litter box, she was stumped.

[Standard litter box: Requires owner to clean. 300 points.]

[Premium Litter Box: No cleaning required, disappears automatically. 1500 points.]

Qi Tong gritted her teeth. Who told her to be lazy?

buy!

Another 1500 was deducted from Qi Tong's account balance. Qi Tong felt a little heartbroken, but then she thought that she wouldn't have to scoop the poop herself in the future.

Yes! It's worth the price!

I wish she could bring this into the real world.

But seeing cat poop disappear on its own is indeed quite terrifying in the real world.

Qi Tong opened a cat treat, and Qi Liu Hai's little nose twitched wildly as he leaned forward and meowed.

As Qi Tong fed the cat treats, a sense of happiness welled up within her. She was finally no longer a wild woman who had no cats to eat!

When sleeping at night.

Qi Tong had just finished washing up and was lying on the big bed on the second floor when Qi Liuhai came running up the stairs.

I pounced on Hupu (a Chinese sports forum) and collapsed onto the bed.

Then he lay sprawled out like a little person, ready to go to sleep.

Qi Tong was playing with "Bloody Tofu Blocks" on her phone.

There's no way around it, I'm just too bored. This is the only game on my phone. Although the exploding blood clots are a bit of an eyesore, it's still pretty fun.

Qi Tong was amused by Qi Liuhai's actions.

She reached out and touched Qi Liuhai's soft belly, and Qi Liuhai started "riding a motorcycle" again.

Help needed: Why does my newly bought kitten keep making noises?

Qi Tong was petting the cat with one hand, but it seemed that wasn't enough, so she picked up Qi Liuhai and put him next to her pillow.

Qi Liuhai rested his little head on the pillow, adjusted the angle himself, and fell asleep obediently.

A red dot suddenly appeared on the forum app, and Qi Tong clicked on it to check.

It is He Lu.

Six nuclear bombs revealed: Sister Tong, Sister Tong, shall we have dinner together tomorrow?

Qi Tong thought for a moment and answered "OK".

She sent another message to Xu Ning, but Xu Ning didn't reply.

I sent another message in Chen Jiejian's group, but it went unanswered.

Qi Tong didn't think much of it, assuming they had entered the instance together and hadn't come out yet.

Qi Tong tucked herself in and, holding Qi Liu Hai, drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Qi Tong and He Lu went to a Western restaurant that He Lu had specifically requested.

Qi Tong immediately sensed the high-class atmosphere of the place as soon as she stepped inside.

This was a place she had never been to in the real world.

The style is extravagant, the plating is exquisite, but the portion is only a tiny bit, and the price is very high.

With the waiter watching her constantly, Qi Tong felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal.

To be honest, Qi Tong didn't think this meal was as good as the food at the snack street.

Moreover, this restaurant is the only Western restaurant in this eerie world.

The taste was really not very good.

Like chewing wax.

As Qi Tong was cutting the sirloin steak on her plate, she heard laughter from the next table.

"Hey bro, do you think Chen Jie's definitely dead this time?"

The man addressed as "Big Brother" put down his knife and fork and slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Of course, the vice president went there in person, how could he possibly come back alive?"

"I've heard that kid's incredibly crazy! Our vice president's only been in office for a few days, can he really handle it?"

Another person said with some concern.

The "elder brother" he was referring to reached out and tapped him on the head: "The vice president is even more ruthless than him. Otherwise, how do you think he got to where he is now after just clearing the newbie dungeon?"

Qi Tong didn't move her knife and fork for a long time, taking a minute to cut a piece of meat. He Lu noticed that she was absent-minded.

"Sister Tong!? What's wrong?"

Qi Tong snapped out of her daze and looked at He Lu, who was concerned about her.

"I'm fine. I might have something to do in a bit. You can go back after you finish eating. Don't wait for me."

Qi Tong connects the bridge of the soul in her heart.

"Xu Ning? Xu Ning? Are you there?"

Meanwhile, Xu Ning, who was escaping in the dungeon, kept thinking about Qi Tong.

The sound came intermittently.

"...I'm here, we're in the instance...being hunted by the Dark Temple."

"Chen Jie, Chen Jie is injured..."

Qi Tong's eyes turned cold as she mentally summoned "666".

"Rokuko, can the items be used outside of dungeons?"

Upon hearing this, 666 was startled.

[Aside from communication-enhancing items like the Mind Bridge, anything with offensive capabilities is prohibited! Don't impulsively kill anyone! Players are not allowed to kill each other in the City of Everything! Violators will be executed on the spot!]

"Yes, I won't kill."

That short sentence made 666 even more flustered.

Seeing Qi Tong's solemn expression, He Lu thought that Qi Tong must have something important to do, so she didn't want to cause trouble.

So they quickly finished their meal, paid the bill, and said goodbye to Qi Tong.

Qi Tong quickly ran to the store next door and bought some props.

The shops here are different from those in the real world.

Explosives, guns, knives, and even poison were all present, making it a typical large-scale crime scene.

Qi Tong selected a few items she wanted and stored them in her spatial storage.

They then quickly returned to the Western restaurant and, through the transparent window, saw that the two members of the Dark Temple were still sitting inside, leisurely dining.
