The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Tangyuan is eating so deliciously, it makes me hungry just watching it." Li Qingcheng tilted her head and looked at it happily, "It seems that the cat food we chose is very much to its liking."

Jiang Chen chimed in, "It probably never had anything this delicious when it was a stray. From now on, we'll stick with this brand and make sure it gets plenty of cat food from us."

"Mmm-hmm!" she nodded in agreement, snuggling into her boyfriend's arms. "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"I made some money doing freelance work, let's go to a private chef's for a seafood feast. Sea cucumber, abalone, lobster, king crab, tuna, order whatever you like!"

"Private chefs are very expensive."

"It's just a meal, it doesn't cost much..."

……

The young couple turned off the TV, chatted and joked, changed clothes, and went out.

Ye Xingluo's appetite was instantly whetted by the mention of those ingredients. Recalling the sumptuous meals she had eaten when she was alive, the cat food in her mouth suddenly lost its appeal!

His saliva flowed uncontrollably, and his efforts to resist his feline instincts were in vain.

"I want to eat seafood too! I want a feast!" Ye Xinglu scratched at the locked cage, but all she heard was the sound of the young couple laughing and slamming the door shut.

A gust of wind swept by, leaving Ye Xinglu with endless loneliness.

"System, how can I get out?" He calmed down for a moment, and reason finally prevailed.

Having only recently taken over the body, the cat's original active feline nature was suppressed.

Ye Xingluo's voice finally regained the deep, magnetic quality befitting a domineering CEO, and his gaze became profound.

To avoid being sterilized, he had used up almost all the points he received after binding with the system and needed to go out immediately to do daily tasks to earn more points in order to unlock the main quest.

[The host can spend 50 points to exchange for a one-time universal key, which can be used to open the cage.]

The system replied in a mechanical voice.

Ye Xinglu frowned, looking at the row of daily tasks and feeling a headache coming on.

These tasks include, but are not limited to, teasing stray dogs, acting cute and affectionate towards humans, catching an insect, etc., which are completely meaningless but are normal daily neurological behaviors of cats.

Is this lousy system really going to turn me into a cat?

Taming begins with the soul?

Ye Xingluo had no choice but to endure it for the sake of her resurrection plan. She spent 50 points to buy a key to unlock the lock, then quickly jumped up, pried open the bolt, pushed open the cage door, and strode out with her head held high.

For a cat with the mind of an adult male and the agility of a cat, anything can be opened as long as it's not locked.

He quickly left the room and took the elevator away amidst the astonished gazes of the other residents.

"I did sneak away." That evening, Jiang Chen took Li Qingcheng home and returned to the apartment to find that the mark he had made on the door was gone.

He casually opened the door, went inside, and turned on the light. He glanced at the big black cat lying lazily in the cage, hummed a little tune as he changed his shoes, and then took out a surveillance camera from the bag.

"Damn it!" Ye Xingluo suddenly stood up, pressed her face against the cage, and meowed angrily, "You actually wanted to spy on me!"

"System, he's set up surveillance. How am I supposed to go out and do missions?"

[Item detected: Surveillance Buster. Requires 1000 points. After use, all surveillance devices within the host's vicinity will malfunction. Effective time: 12 hours.]

Ye Xingluo was furious as she watched Ji Jiangchen video chat with his girlfriend while adjusting and installing the surveillance equipment.

"You're so thoughtful! I never thought of that. It would be so nice to have surveillance cameras. Even when I'm at work, I can keep track of Tangyuan's situation anytime, and I can even interact with it online or control the smart appliances at home. It's much better than it being alone at home." Li Qingcheng lay comfortably on the bed, feeling happy as she watched her boyfriend's busy figure.

Although Grandma objected when she heard about it, saying that black cats would bring disaster.

But she felt that raising a cat with her boyfriend suddenly brought them closer!

Moreover, having a reason to go to his place at any time increases the chances of staying overnight.

Chapter Five: Come on, wear a skirt!

"It takes fifty points to unlock the cage; and another fifty points to unlock the door when I come back." Ye Xingluo paced back and forth irritably while muttering to himself as he did the math. He didn't know if it was because he still had a lot of cat instincts left, but he suddenly felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

And even his temper has become more irritable?

"Buying a surveillance killer can last for twelve hours, and the daily cost alone is 1,100. I work hard all day doing daily tasks, and I can only earn 1,500 points at most. After deducting all the points, I only have 400 points left..." Ye Xingluo looked at the 40,000 points needed to unlock the first main quest and instantly felt hopeless about his cat life.

After saying goodnight to his girlfriend, Jiang Chen opened the monitoring screen on his phone app, walked to the cage, and showed it to the big black cat, saying, "See that? It's a super high-definition camera! Now I can see you anytime I go to work. Am I a good owner?"

Ye Xingluo: (T^T)

Seeing the points required to unlock the missions, I no longer had the energy to get angry and yell...

"Hey? Are you in a bad mood? Why are you just lying there without moving?" Jiang Chen snapped her fingers, in a great mood. "Oh right, I bought you a gift. See how good I am to you?"

After he finished speaking, he took out two pink boxes from the bag.

There were several cat outfits inside.

Ye Xinglu glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and immediately flew into a rage!

"Hey, why did you buy a pink princess dress for a male cat?! Are you a pervert?!"

Smiling, Jiang Chen carried five or six little dresses dressed as cats: a pink lace princess dress, a blue floral dress, a fluffy tulle sundress, a delicate ruffled anti-shedding dress, a princess dress with a bow...

"These are all your new clothes. Would you like to try them on and see if they fit?"

Jiang Chen, who was holding up her skirt and beaming with joy, looked like a grinning demon in Ye Xingluo's eyes.

What sins have I committed to deserve this? Why did I have to run into such a pervert?

First there's Ga Dandan; now there's Chu Qunqun. Are you sent by heaven to help me overcome this tribulation?

Just as Ye Xingluo was preparing to fight desperately to put on the dress, Ji Jiangchen threw the cat clothes aside, picked up her phone, and went into the bedroom.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Host, the main system is issuing missions so frequently this time." The little white cat gently rubbed against his face and said coquettishly, "The main system told you to give up the idea of ​​dressing the protagonist in dresses. It's a waste to throw those dresses away. Why don't you let me wear them instead?"

[Task: Abandon the idea of ​​dressing Tangyuan in a skirt. Reward: 5 million RMB.]

Jiang Chen frowned slightly as she looked at the task that wasn't yet marked as completed. "I immediately threw away the dress and gave up on letting him try it on. Why isn't it considered complete?"

"It's highly likely that you've given up for now, but you're actually still looking for an opportunity to give it to him?" Xiaobai guessed. "It seems quite difficult to find loopholes in this mission world."

"But the money-swiping speed is quite fast."

He glanced at his phone and saw that he had earned 25 million from completing tasks today alone. If he could complete this task, the reward would be 30 million.

In this laid-back little city, it's almost time to retire.

"This time we can consider not killing the protagonist so quickly. He's just a money-making mascot!" Jiang Chen had a sudden inspiration, opened the bedroom door, went out, and picked up the cat skirts.

Just as Ye Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief, the cat's fur stood on end again. She lay in her warm and comfortable cat bed, trying to come up with a solution.

Ji Jiangchen, however, picked up the cat-themed skirt and went back to the bedroom.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the door close, but his heart remained uneasy.

"Try it on and see if it fits." Jiang Chen handed the dress to the little white cat. "If it doesn't fit, I'll get you a different size tomorrow. If you like it, just tell me, and I can buy you all sorts of different dresses."

Xiao Bai blushed immediately, "No, no, these few items are enough."

It had just taken the little dress and tried it on when it suddenly paused, "Host, mission accomplished."

At the same time, Jiang Chen's phone buzzed and five million yuan arrived in his account!

His eyes lit up. "I've found a way to make money! Let's go buy some dresses again tomorrow! Pick the one you like!"

The little white cat was stunned for a moment before it reacted, then curled its lips and made a thumbs-up gesture with its little paws, "As expected of the host I chose, you are indeed very clever!"

That night, Jiang Chen slept soundly and sweetly;

Ye Xingluo, however, was anxious and didn't get much rest all night.

Task: Turn off the surveillance equipment. Reward: 5 million RMB.

The next morning, Jiang Chen had just gotten out of bed when he heard the main system issuing a task.

The little white cat stretched and yawned, "Judging from the speed at which the main system releases tasks, the protagonist is our cash cow!"

"So we need to find a way to make him turn over a new leaf, give up his despicable and evil behavior of taking advantage of others and killing people at the drop of a hat, and be a good cat doing quests and resurrecting, wouldn't that be better?"

He got dressed, went to the living room, and unplugged the surveillance camera power cord.

However, Ye Xingluo hadn't slept all night and was currently dozing off, so she didn't see the power cord being unplugged at all.

Furthermore, the electrical outlet is hidden under the cabinet, so it's completely invisible from the outside...

"Host, the main system has withdrawn the patch and needs to reissue the mission," Xiaobai said, jumping onto his shoulder.

Sure enough, a new task was issued the next second.

[Task: Retract the surveillance equipment; leave the cat cage unlocked. Reward: 30 million RMB.]

This little bit of money came so easily!

Jiang Chen happily packed up the surveillance footage and put it back in the box, humming a little tune as she went to wash up.

"The surveillance camera is gone?" Ye Xingluo was startled awake by the sound of the door closing and immediately noticed that the large round ball that was placed on the piano facing her was gone.

"What is this guy up to?"

He was suspicious and kept peeking around, always feeling that Ji Jiangchen might have secretly installed it somewhere else.

Ye Xinglu was pleasantly surprised to find that the cage was unlocked!

"System, are there security cameras in the room? Why didn't he lock the cage today?"

[Host, rest assured, no surveillance equipment was detected in the room; no abnormalities were detected, it's likely that Ji Jiangchen forgot to lock the door.]

awesome!

Ye Xinglu jumped up excitedly, realizing that this way she would only need to buy one prop when she entered the room.

If you keep doing this every day, you can accumulate 1,450 points a day, and you can unlock the first main quest in less than a month!

Thinking of this, Ye Xingluo was full of energy.

He hurriedly chewed a few bites of cat food, jumped up, unlatched the door, opened it, and swaggered out of the house in the elevator.

As dusk approached, the door clicked open.

Ye Xingluo quickly lay down in the cat's bed and pretended to have just woken up, stretching and yawning.

"Tangyuan, I bought you some yummy food!" Li Qingcheng, dressed in a blazer, a pencil skirt, and stockings, only changing into slippers, eagerly waved the bag in front of it. "Delicious cat food!"
