The male supporting character was actually myself.

Chapter Fourteen: Don't Go Against Points

He was even wearing his newly customized collar around his neck!

"Wow, the protagonist is quite brave!" The little white cat leaned its fluffy head over to watch the news together. "He roared when he saw injustice. Judging from this point alone, the protagonist isn't completely heartless."

Jiang Chen nodded and said softly, "Even a person would need a lot of courage to rush at a large dog like this without having something in their hand."

I quickly skimmed through the news description.

The whole incident was roughly as follows: the little girl's grandmother was taking her to school when she realized she hadn't turned off the gas stove and went back. In those few minutes, the little girl was tackled by an unleashed dog and nearly bitten.

Fortunately, a brave big black cat rushed over and beat up the biting dog with a series of cool cat punches, and only left after the police arrived and "arrested" it.

When the dog owner appeared, he initially tried to make excuses, but when he realized the situation was not good, he tried to evade responsibility and was taken away by the police for investigation on suspicion of "endangering public safety".

It has now been determined that the dog did not have a dog license and belonged to a large, aggressive breed that is not allowed to be kept in urban areas.

The little girl's family has arrived and stated that they will not accept a settlement and will insist on filing a lawsuit, in order to warn other dog owners in the city.

A heated social debate about humans and dogs is raging, while on the other hand, a large black cat named "Tangyuan" has quickly become the focus of attention after being photographed, with some even suggesting that it should be given a "heroic act award"...

{I've seen the video, Tangyuan is so brave! Actually, looking at it this way, it's not so bad, at least its heart isn't that bad, right?}

{Yeah, I just saw it, it's really great! I'll buy it something nice to treat it when I get home from get off work. What do you want to eat tonight?}

I'd love to have dinner with you, but I'm busy with a new project these days, and I'll probably have to work overtime this weekend. How about we arrange some time to go out and have fun together after I'm done with this?

By the way, how's the orange cat you picked up last night?

Did Tangyuan bully Doubao?

OK! They get along quite well, and they should be able to live peacefully together in the future.

Li Qingcheng looked at the message her boyfriend sent, pondered for a while, and finally decided to ask: "They're a male and a female, about the same age, do they... you know... anything?"

After sending the message, her own face turned red.

But this matter needs to be clarified, because if the big black cat Tangyuan really is a human turned cat, then no matter how beautiful the female cat is, he will not be tempted.

So, by observing whether the two cats poop or poop, we should be able to determine whether the filling of the glutinous rice ball is a human or a cat, right?

If humans turned into cats and even cats started to pee, that would be just too...beastly!

"Pfft!" When Xiaobai saw the message from Li Qingcheng, she almost spat out her milk tea and muttered, "Host, your girlfriend's focus is a bit strange. Why would she ask something like that?"

"She probably wanted to determine whether a person had turned into a cat by observing Tangyuan's reaction."

The fluffy dumpling paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "She definitely wouldn't have imagined that the host could drug the protagonist!"

Yes, there is; the battle is quite intense.

He sent it to the other person with a mischievous smiley face.

Li Qingcheng blushed even more upon receiving the message, but her fear of the black cat lessened somewhat.

First, he bravely saved people. Even if he really turned into a cat, he should still be a good person, not as sinister and terrifying as portrayed in horror movies.

Furthermore, since both Tangyuan and Doubao pooped, it's highly likely that the idea of ​​turning into a cat is just wishful thinking and scaring oneself; otherwise, how could a person really be like a cat...?

Since the core isn't broken and it's most likely just too smart and somewhat human-like, there's no need to be too afraid!

With the heavy weight lifted from her heart, Li Qingcheng was in a good mood, humming a song as she quickly threw herself into her work, hoping to finish early so she could find a suitable place for a weekend trip near the city and rekindle her relationship with her boyfriend.

When Jiang Chen got home from get off work, Tang Yuan had already finished her daily tasks and was full of confidence, waiting to do the new tasks.

"Click!"

As soon as he pushed open the door, a dark figure darted over and enthusiastically dragged a pair of slippers to his feet. After doing so, the big black cat wagged its tail and waited expectantly for praise.

Jiang Chen: ...

"Tangyuan, you are a cat, not a dog."

Instead of the praise she expected, the system announced that the mission had failed, and Ye Xingluo couldn't help but roll her eyes and frown.

"You changed your expression pretty quickly, didn't you?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, praising him as he changed into his slippers, "I saw the video of you bravely saving people, that's awesome!"

[Ding! You have received Ji Jiangchen's approval, points +50!]

Is this okay?

Ye Xingluo immediately became excited again, following closely behind him.

"Handsome, do you stick to your owner like this every day?" Seeing this, the orange cat Doubao thought for a moment and came over, wanting to show affection but also a little afraid of Jiang Chen.

After all, the newcomer doesn't quite understand the rules of this household.

Ye Xinglu gave it a cold look and said, "Get out of the way! I'm the boss in this house!"

Doubao leaned back, glanced at its owner, unsure where to put its tail, rubbed its front paws together and whispered, "Okay, I understand."

"Tangyuan, I advise you to be nicer to it." Seeing this, Jiang Chen turned on the TV, sat down on the sofa, and said jokingly with a look of watching a show, "This shade never disappoints."

"That's it?" Ye Xinglu raised her head arrogantly, her face full of disdain.

I'm a grown man, how could I be so pathetic if I couldn't even beat a cat?

Jiang Chen took a bite of apple and added insult to injury, "By the way, you two spent the night together last night."

Although the time was short, the factual relationship still exists.

Don't be a heartless, cruel cat who dumps his lover!

Ye Xingluo:o(▼ plate▼メ;)o

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! It's all because you drugged me!"

He meowed angrily a few times. If it weren't for the fact that the system was asking him to increase Ji Jiangchen's favorability, he would have already scratched Ji Jiangchen's face all over!

"Don't be angry, don't be angry;"

I chose it myself and did it myself;

He's a target for romance and can be used to farm points. Yes, Ji Jiangchen = points!

Points, points, points... I can't afford to be obsessed with points...

After muttering to herself for a while, Ye Xingluo finally calmed down and jumped onto the sofa to massage Jiang Chen's legs with her paws.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Bai, who was perched on the shoulder engrossed in the game, immediately threw down his phone. "Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious! Host, you'd better watch out for this guy sneaking into your bed tonight!"

The white fluffy ball huffed and puffed as it jumped down and began gently massaging its host's shoulders, in order to prevent some scheming cats from outdoing it in malicious competition.

"Tangyuan, I have a girlfriend and I'm not gay, really." Jiang Chen was pressed twice, and when he realized that it was a pair of adult male hands rubbing his legs, he got goosebumps all over and moved away from it.

Ye Xingluo: (╬◣д◢)

"I'm not gay!" He couldn't take it anymore and cursed, "Do you think I want to seduce you?"

It's all for the points!

The sooner I accumulate enough points to complete the main quest, the sooner I can go back and take my revenge!

I've lowered myself to serve you personally, getting you slippers and massaging your legs, and you haven't even offered a compliment, yet you still accuse me of being gay!

Chapter Fifteen: Unlocking the Main Quest

"Host, the protagonist can earn you points by trying to please you," the little white cat quickly translated. "He wants to turn back into a human as soon as possible!"

???

Is this the "strategy guide" mentioned in the script?

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then instructed, "Meow Meow doesn't understand what you're talking about after all this time."

Stop grumbling and go fetch the red bag I left in the entryway.

"Pah! You said you were a cat, not a dog, so why are you making me get something again?" Ye Xingluo meowed in dissatisfaction, hopping to the entrance and dragging the red bag over.

The orange tabby cat, Doubao, lay on the cat cage, leisurely swishing its tail as it watched its cat make a good impression.

The big black cat is quite handsome, but it's not very bright. It keeps babbling incoherently, and no cat can understand it! Doubao licked its paws, yawned, and decided not to think about things it couldn't understand. Why bother?

I'm just a cute and cuddly little kitten.

"Well done," Jiang Chen said, taking the bag and offering a compliment.

Upon hearing the system reward notification, Ye Xingluo immediately revealed a smiling expression.

The little white cat rolled its eyes, pulled out its phone, and continued playing the game. "Host, in the protagonist's eyes, you're probably just a mobile points system. Be careful not to fall for his tricks. Make sure to lock the doors and windows when you go to sleep tonight!"

The bag contained several cans of cat food.

Jiang Chen opened one of the boxes, and the aroma of processed fish wafted out.

"Sniff!"

Ye Xinglu couldn't resist the temptation. She put her paws on the sofa, stretched out her body, and tried to see what he was holding. "What smells so good? Dried fish?"

"It smells so good!" The orange cat, which was about to take a nap, perked up, jumped over, and wagged its tail, begging for food.

The little white cat took a deep breath, its paws pausing from playing games. "(ˉ▽￣～)Tch~~ You two silly cats who've never seen the world before. Your host will just give you a bottle of cat food and you'll be done with it."

I'm eating a special edition of dried anchovies!

There are also all sorts of delicious foods!

"I love you so much, Host! I want to eat grilled fish!"

"Tangyuan, this is your reward for your heroic rescue today." Jiang Chen placed an opened can of cat food in front of him and said earnestly, "Even though it's just a cat, you did a fantastic job!"

Keep up the good work and strive to give your cat a perfect ending.

Tempted by the delicious food, Ye Xingluo was actually a little moved!

He then turned his head and proudly said, "It was just a small favor. Anyone with a conscience would have stepped forward to stop it in that situation. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

However, I appreciate your kindness.

"After all, you bought cat food. I imagine even if I refused your offer, you wouldn't eat it, wouldn't that be a waste?"

He meowed twice, then buried his head and wolfed down his food.

The greedy orange cat kept circling around, occasionally nudging it with its body and letting out a soft meow.
