Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

I'd take this opportunity to have a good chat with the system boss.

When he came outside, Tang Mu coughed twice to clear his throat.

I haven't spoken for a long time, I still need to get used to it.

"Boss, it wasn't you who turned me into Tom Cat, was it?"

Tang Mu squatted at the entrance of the cave, with his tail circling around his feet. The tip of his tail gently rose and fell, and he suddenly said this.

The system did not reply. Of course, Tom did not expect to get a response from it.

Anyway, it hasn't communicated properly with the system since it got it.

However, judging from some previous feedback, this system is estimated to have a certain degree of intelligence.

Tang Mu opened his system panel and took a look. He scratched his face with his paw and said, "Actually, I was wondering what the meaning of your system issuing tasks to me is."

"In the beginning, it was my first time traveling through time and being a cat, so my mindset hadn't changed yet and I had a distorted understanding of Tom Cat's abilities."

"Coupled with the tasks you assigned to me, this ideological deviation deepened. For a long period of time, I was even doing things like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons."

"As Tom Cat, I already have almost invincible power, but because of the limitations I put on myself mentally, in the world of Demon Slayer, I am still foolishly chasing after the blood demon arts rewarded by the missions and the breathing method I learned."

"Even when I'm fighting an enemy, I use the mind of a normal person, breathing techniques, blood magic, and sword skills to fight."

"If I were just an ordinary person, or an ordinary cat, there would be nothing wrong with this approach."

"You give me tasks, and I try my best to complete them, get rewards, and become stronger. Then I do more difficult tasks, and become stronger, and this cycle repeats itself."

“Perhaps this is the normal operating procedure of your system.”

"But what is my current situation? After becoming Tom Cat, some of the tasks and task rewards are completely meaningless. Because I am already invincible, especially now that I have figured out my own abilities, the power of your reward is just icing on the cake."

"It simply doesn't achieve a virtuous cycle of completing tasks and then improving strength."

"As a system, you shouldn't be able to do such a thing. In this case, there is only one possibility. I became Tom Cat naturally, and you can't do anything about it, but you still have to assign tasks according to the rules of the system, which leads to this contradictory phenomenon today."

As Tang Mu spoke his guess, the system still did not give any response, as if Tang Mu was talking to himself.

But Tom didn't need it to respond, and continued: "The appearance of cats is a natural phenomenon. My transformation into Tom Cat is also a natural phenomenon, right?"

"When Demon Slayer World was in progress, you realized something was not right, so you upgraded the missions in the second world. In the end, after you discovered that I liked making money, you even started to increase the proportion of monetary rewards in the missions."

"The reason you keep fine-tuning the tasks is because you're worried that I'll stop being so stubborn and figure things out and master Tom Cat's power, and then I'll leave you and work on my own and no longer care about the tasks you issued, right?"

There is still no response from the system.

But Tang Mu could feel the silence of the system boss.

It was a kind of silence where one's true feelings were revealed, but one still had to pretend to be calm and composed.

To put it in one sentence, the current state of the system is that it appears to be as stable as an old dog on the surface, but is actually very panicked on the inside.

Tang Mu suddenly chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I say, your systems don't have KPI assessments, do they? The more tasks the host bound to the system completes, the better your KPI assessment results will be."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken so much pains in arranging the tasks."

"I used to call you the system boss. It seems that you are also a poor worker. When I was still a human, I was similar to you. I can understand your feelings very well."

The system still did not give any response, but Tom could already feel its complex emotions.

"How about this, since we've come to this point, let's just make things clear. Since you can always make minor adjustments to the mission, it means you have autonomy in assigning missions."

"From now on, just assign me some simple and quick tasks. This way, I can get the task rewards and you can complete your KPI targets. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Tang Mu's smile was very bewitching, as if he was a gangster who was about to instigate a good kid to go out and mingle with him.

It’s a pity that this good thing that was wishful thinking obviously did not happen.

After hearing what Tang Mu said, the system suddenly felt an unusual resistance.

Tang Mu guessed that it was not that the system did not want to do so, but that there were some restrictions, so it could not be done so.

"Is it true that the difficulty of the tasks assigned to the host by your system cannot be changed?"

Tom asked a tentative question.

After waiting for two seconds, Tom's cat showed an understanding expression on his face and nodded: "Okay, then I understand. In this case, I have another idea, I will tell you."

Although the system did not answer, Tang Mu knew it was listening, so he spoke directly: "I don't need you to lower the difficulty of the task, just follow your own standards. Anyway, these tasks are not difficult for me, and there is no danger."

"In fact, it's better if it's a little bit difficult. It can give me something to do instead of being idle."

"If a person has nothing to do, he will do all kinds of incredible things. My power is too strong, so it's better to find something to do."

"I say, brother, there's nothing we can do about the difficulty of the mission, but we can always change the mission rewards, right? I see you've been making minor adjustments in this area recently."

Without waiting for the system's response, Tang Mu spoke out his thoughts.

"I really don't lack strength. From now on, you can exchange the rewards for my tasks for other things. I won't tell you in detail what I want. I'll just give you a rough classification. Is that okay?"

After Tang Mu finished speaking, he waited for a while, and after hearing a "ding" sound, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

"I like making money, saving money, and watching my own little treasury grow richer. You have already arranged this, so there is no need to change it."

"On the other hand, I want to get some life-related rewards. Rewards that can make my daily life more colorful and make the people around me happier."

"This kind of reward doesn't need to be equal to the difficulty of the mission. Anyway, no matter how difficult the mission is, it's all the same to me. The mission is to save the world, and the reward at the end is a souvenir I like."

"How is it? This kind of mission change is definitely worth it for you, right?"

Tang Mu smiled and didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage at all.

In fact, if the direction of the task reward could really be changed, it would be a win for Tang Mu.

Think about it carefully, does Tom have the power?

Not missing at all.

If in subsequent tasks, the system continues to reward Tang Mu with various powers as it did before, it would be a waste of the rewards.

For Tom, the strength reward is simply an ineffective reward.

Effective rewards are those that can transform ineffective rewards into rewards that help and enrich your daily life.

Although there is no guarantee that every reward will satisfy you, it is at least much better than strengthening completely useless powers.

The topic has come to this point, and Tang Mu has said everything he wanted to say. Now it depends on what the system brother thinks.

However, Tang Mu estimated that the cooperation between the two should be able to be reached.

After all, this is a win-win situation, and there is no loss to the system, so the possibility of it rejecting is not high.

Sure enough, not long after, with the coming of an emotion, Tang Mu knew that the system had agreed to its proposal.

Having achieved his goal, Tang Mu smiled even more happily. He said happily: "Brother, let's cooperate. You earn performance and I earn rewards. Cooperation is a win-win situation."

Having said that, Tang Mu said, "Since we have already agreed, how about changing the reward for the main quest now? I think it would be a good idea to reward our country with technology for treating eye diseases. Not only can Sui Sui's eyes be cured, but it will also be a great thing for other visually impaired people."

Tang Mu did not hide his true thoughts at all.

But the system brother obviously also has its own ideas.

Although the mission rewards have indeed changed, they are not given out randomly.

At least the rewards provided by the system must be more or less related to the mission world.

As for the eye treatment technology that Tom mentioned, it has little to do with the world of Jackie Chan Adventures.

After the system was silent for a while, it seemed to have sorted out the new task mode, accompanied by a "ding" prompt sound.

A brand new main task appears in front of Tom.

[Main Quest: Find and Eliminate the Eight Demonic Auras]

[Main Quest Reward (1): Free access to this world]

[Mainline Reward (2): Based on the behavior pattern of this world, a final settlement reward will be given after the mission is completed.]

Well, Tang Mu didn’t expect this. He thought it would be clearly revealed.

But this is not bad either. The reward after completing the mission might give me a big surprise.

Anyway, it's better than before.

Tom was already satisfied with this.

As for Guan Susu's eye treatment, after almost figuring out how to use Tom Cat's abilities, he can actually heal Guan Susu's eyes directly now.

But that would be a bit hard to explain and a bit shocking.

The main world is Tom's home, and he doesn't want to destroy the peace and stability there.

It also wants to enjoy daily life.

So if possible, it is better to get rewards from the system and achieve the goal in a subtle way.

In any case, the problem on the system side has been solved perfectly.

Tang Mu, in a good mood, turned around and walked back into the cave.

According to the rules for adding more words, I have to add 2000 words.

Now I owe more than 34,000.

Oh my God!

Chapter 168 I'll call the higher-ups

After Tang Mu finished communicating with the system brothers, he threw away Zhu Lan's evil energy as garbage and turned back to walk into the corridor.

Things here are not completely over yet, and they still need to be wrapped up.

When Tang Mu returned to the semicircular platform, he subconsciously glanced at the rock wall opposite.

There was a big hole that had been created by the blue curse, and there was light coming through the hole.

It can be regarded as the second channel opened up artificially.

At this time, the light over there was blocked, and there were three figures wandering there.

One of the figures was particularly tall and strong.

Tang Mu could tell at a glance that it was a member of the Mafia.

The images of Valon and Tru are really very eye-catching.

Even though he was in the wilderness, Valon still wore his green suit. He was very persistent and showed his perseverance.

Tang Mu was not surprised at all that the mafia members came back here.

When he was in Valon's office before, he heard from the Holy Lord that they were also looking for the devil's aura.

Since he failed to snatch the tiger-shaped jade pendant, the next best option was to follow Jackie Chan.

Anyway, neither the Mafia nor the Holy Lord can have any impact on me, so it doesn’t matter whether they come or not.

What surprised Tom was that William was also with them.

In fact, it wasn't just Tom who was surprised.

William himself was quite surprised.

After Tom performed a trick of cutting off the water flow outside and made the mountain form a flight of stairs with laughter, William's worldview was completely shattered!

As a scientist, he always felt that the world he lived in was no longer scientific, and even wondered if he was living in a world of code.

After standing there in a daze for a long time, William finally pulled his thoughts out of his confusion.

I originally wanted to follow and meet up with Jackie Chan.

Because of the waterfall, William thought that he did not have as strong a physique as Jackie Chan, so he waited outside.

Now there is a flight of stairs, and the waterfall is unscientifically rolled up, so William can naturally follow into the cave.

But before he could take any action, he was stopped by Valon and Tru.

After some communication, he found out that the big boss who had been sponsoring his laboratory behind the scenes was Wallon.

Now that William has found the Emperor Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum in heaven, the sponsorship naturally no longer needs to continue.

As for this guy named Valon, he looks very high-class and is always doing some high-end business.

But sometimes, he is unexpectedly down-to-earth, and occasionally does things that only gangsters would do.

They took advantage of William, but after they were done they had to come up and mock him, regardless of whether it would lower their status or not.
