Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

After a whole round, it was Little Lychee's turn again.

She thought to herself, "Even if things go wrong, it can't be worse than the last round, right?"

Brother Yu Zhe said that she was completely finished just now.

So she didn't feel any psychological pressure, and this time she threw a "one".

He simply took a step forward, and the announcement sounded again.

"After you went into debt, you borrowed money to start a new business, but you lost everything again. Now your total assets are negative 600 million."

"..."

Oh oh oh!

This is bullying!

17. Little Lychee the Cat Girl (Bonus Chapter)

We were told it couldn't get any worse!

Why is everyone else making money to some extent while I keep losing? And every time I lose money, it's by a huge margin!

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

But only Little Lychee was constantly injured!

That's not all; after the machine finished broadcasting the previous message, there was more content to follow.

"This is the second time this bankruptcy has occurred, and it has triggered a penalty. Please draw a penalty card and execute it."

Little Lychee was stunned.

She turned back to Yu Zhe sheepishly and said, "Um... Brother Yu Zhe, I didn't quite understand."

"I think the electronic voice's pronunciation is quite standard, so how could I not understand it?"

Yu Zhe had absolutely no pity; he was devoid of emotion.

He then pointed to a pile of covered cards in the very center of the chessboard.

"This is the triggering punishment event I was talking about earlier. It's random, so Little Lychee, hurry up and draw one. Make sure you carry it out properly. But don't worry, I've told the maids at home that they won't make any unreasonable demands."

No, no... I just feel like what Brother Yuzhe said today is completely unreliable.

But Little Lychee had no intention of cheating; she didn't want to be the first person to break the rules.

With lingering fear, Xiao Lizhi walked up to the pile of cards. This time, she was careful not to take the top card, but instead shuffled the cards carefully and then drew one from the middle.

We've done everything we can; now it's up to fate!

She held the card in front of her, squinted at it, and first noticed a cat's head drawn at the top of the card.

Curiosity overcame her fear, and she opened her eyes wide, only to see the requirements on the punishment sign.

What is it?

Yu Che urged her, "You know that hesitation will lead to defeat."

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that the older brother would never make demands that would put people in a difficult position.

Little Lychee spread out the card and read the words on it aloud: "Hmm... if I'm not mistaken and I haven't misunderstood... it says 'Meow like a cat'?"

"Please." Yu Zhe didn't need to say anything more.

Just watch your performance, that's all.

"..."

What? That's all?

Little Lychee thought it was some kind of big mission involving going through fire and water, but humph, it turns out it's just a little game after all.

This is nothing, you can just say whatever you want.

"Meow!"

A lively and agile single note, uttered lightly with her light voice.

Hmm...it is indeed imitating a cat's meow, but everyone else has the same idea now.

That's it?

This punishment is far too boring.

Haha, how could it be so boring?

Before Xiaolizhi could put the card back, thinking she had completed the task, Yuzhe called out to her.

"Little Lychee, wait a minute, give me the card."

"Huh? Okay... here you go."

Yu Zhe glanced at it and a smile curved his lips.

As expected... the maids in the house never disappoint.

Yu Zhe unfolded the card again, pointing to the bottom line of text: "By the way, Little Lychee, your mission isn't complete."

"Why?!" Little Lychee was heartbroken; there was definitely a trap!

"Look at this line of small print." Yu Zhe spread the card out again, and everyone gathered around. "Isn't it clearly written below? When imitating a cat's meow, you need to be expressive and lifelike. Do you think you were lifelike enough just now?"

"..."

It's clearly written there!

The tiny print below is ridiculously small! You might even miss it if you're not looking closely!

It's like signing a contract thinking there are no problems, only to discover the small print in the terms after you've signed it!

But! Little Lychee isn't really a silly child; she still has her own stance.

"Brother Yuzhe, I don't think so."

She smiled confidently: "We don't have any standards, and you can't say that I didn't express myself with emotion, huh? In short, I think as long as the surface requirements are met, it's fine for these kinds of cards!"

"Who says there are no standards for judgment?"

Yu Zhe chuckled mischievously, turning around to look at the girls: "Do you think she just completed the card punishment?"

No, I don't think so.

"To be honest, it's far from enough."

"It's far from it~ This is practically the same as cheating."

"Mmm, we feel..."

We should probably start over.

They love a good show!

The responses were unanimous; they all felt that this didn't count at all.

Little Lychee is a bit devastated; nobody's on my side at all!

Maybe... she lost from the very beginning?

See? The smug smiles on everyone's faces now prove exactly what happened!

"Okay, okay! I'll start over, alright? This time, Brother Yuzhe, and all of you, watch carefully! Don't say I'm cheating anymore. If you say I'm cheating, then you're the ones cheating!"

It's like giving up on yourself completely.

Little Lychee straightened up and took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

She tried hard to imagine what a cat looked like.

The family doesn't keep cats; Ouyang's parents are both quite afraid of cats.

The stray cats I saw on the street... well, I once saw one that looked ferocious and almost chased after Little Lychee and bit her, but luckily she ran away quickly.

Alright, let's conclude that even Little Lychee doesn't know what a cat should be like.

but!

She knows catgirls!

Speaking of which, Xiao Lizhi is actually a bit of a homebody, spending half her time at home and watching quite a few anime.

One particularly endearing element that stuck with her was the variety of cute little catgirls.

Meow meow meow, how comforting!

With this in mind, Xiao Lizhi basically determined the direction of her imitation.

Having made up her mind, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Then stand with one leg in front of the other, slightly apart.

Make cat paw shapes with both hands, one above the other, the left hand over the head and the right hand raised in front of the face.

He bowed slightly forward, causing his golden hair to sway.

With all preparations complete, Xiao Lizhi tried hard to recall the voice acting for the catgirls in those animations, and then imitated them, squeezing out that single sound from her throat as accurately as possible.

"Meow...meow~"

"..."

The pronunciation this time is fundamentally different from the first time.

The first reading was simple, devoid of any emotion, and could even be described as monotonous.

This time, however, not only were her emotions quite varied, but you could also hear the shyness in them, plus the blush that suddenly appeared on her face, and finally, her cute and light cat-girl-like movements.

The effect is absolutely amazing!

Even Lian Yuzhe was stunned for a moment, then gave her a thumbs up without hesitation: "Little Lychee! Well done!"

And the maid troupe! Well done! They understand me so well!

As for the other girls?

They were taking notes in their minds!

Yu Zhe seems quite happy; so he likes this style?
