Chapter 207: The Man Who Walks Among Character Cards
The moment the rope was put up, a system prompt immediately rang in Liang Yiming's mind—
Bird's Mouth: [Detected that your personal item has had extensive contact with target Little Y., successfully locking onto the target for you.]
Bird's Mouth: [Now conducting compatibility check between the target and your strategy character...]
At this moment, the chubby orange cat in front of him finally woke up.
Disturbed from its sweet dream, the orange cat became agitated, letting out a low growl of "meow~ meow~," extending its sharp claws from its front two paws, swiping fiercely at Liang Yiming's chest.
Liang Yiming hurriedly dodged to one side, causing the orange cat's claws to miss, landing on the floor and effortlessly scratching three deep grooves into it, as if a blade slicing through bread.
Glancing at the grooves on the floor, Liang Yiming's breath caught; had he not dodged in time, his guts might have been shredded.
At this moment, the system prompt in his mind rang again—
Bird's Mouth: [Compatibility check complete! You've correctly locked onto the target!]
Bird's Mouth: [Congratulations, player! Main quest 1, current completion rate: 100%.]
The instant the completion prompt for the main quest appeared, the aggressive demeanor of the chubby orange Little Y. vanished. It lowered its front paws, leaned its nose out to sniff Liang Yiming vigorously, let out a "meow~," then raised its tail and walked past Liang Yiming, heading straight towards the staircase.
Liang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the system prompt in his mind. Following the instructions, he could now go to the refresh point to meet with Han Feng.
While thinking about it, the voice of Xu Dongsheng came from beside him: "You... successfully locked it? Completed the first main quest?"
Liang Yiming snapped back to reality, nodded, "Yes, it's Little Y.."
As he spoke, the strategy character's information appeared in his system—
[Name: Little Y. (Associated Sub-body: Xiao Huang)]
[Identity:
1. A chubby orange cat that loves eating, sleeping, and fighting;
2. A bit lazy but a diligent Worker Maid Xiao Huang (associated sub-body)]
[Background: Little Y. is a chubby orange cat who lost its mother shortly after birth. In critical condition, it was brought back to the Snow Mountain Villa by two girls and raised from a palm-sized kitten into a Husky among cats.
Little Y. possesses high intelligence and a lifespan longer than humans. After discovering Xiao Ji's secret, it was not content to be just a fat cat, so Little Y. sought out the Mountain Villa Owner to request her help.
After learning of Little Y.'s wish, the owner **** (this plot is yet to be unlocked)
Thus, Little Y. acquired the identity of Maid Xiao Huang. She lives a simple yet fulfilling life.
Although she gained a human shell, Little Y. retains the laziness, pride, and occasional clinginess of a chubby orange. She is unlike Little P. next door who wags her tail pleasingly to her owner; Little Y. looks down upon Little P.'s sycophantic behavior toward guests. She is a noble cat, yielding to no human besides the three villa owners.
However, tonight, the unexpected arrival of a guest caused Little Y., **** (this plot has no viewing permission)]
[Strategy Difficulty: ★★★★★★★☆]
Seeing the plot with no viewing permission, Liang Yiming frowned.
Isn't this his strategy character? If he has no viewing rights, then who does?
While pondering this, Xu Dongsheng's voice came to his ears again: "Amazing! How did you figure it would be Little Y.? Because the yarn ball and the rope you got are very similar?"
Pausing to think, Xu Dongsheng seemed a bit deflated as he said: "Mine is too hard, I can't think of anyone it's linked with."
His personal items are a candlestick and a candle; such things completely lack any matches among the known selectable targets.
Liang Yiming responded, "Actually, yours is quite simple, just like Han Feng's; it's practically a freebie question."
Xu Dongsheng was dumbfounded, "Huh? A freebie question?"
"Don't look at the surface," Liang Yiming continued, "Did you forget the tip given by the president?"
Thinking for a moment, Xu Dongsheng replied, "To look at... the material?"
"Yes," Liang Yiming nodded, "Look closely, the material of your candlestick and candle is actually very special."
It was only then that Xu Dongsheng, somewhat dubious, took out his item and felt the smooth moon-white surface of the object with his fingers. He said in surprise, "Is this... made of ivory?"
Liang Yiming shook his head, "Not ivory, it should be, cow bone."
"...Cow bone?" If it's made from cow bone, then wouldn't that mean, "Little P.'s meat bone?"
Liang Yiming took a forearm-length bone out from his equipment spares and handed it to Xu Dongsheng, "This is the reward item for my side quest; you can compare it, it should be exactly the same material."
...
...
In the secret room exclusive to the Mountain Villa Owner.
Wen Nan lay surrounded by a "dream," on a beach, bathed in the wet and salty sea breeze along with Yu Shouling.
A message from Liang Yiming shared with him the information card of the character Little Y. he successfully locked onto.
Another message came from Xu Dongsheng, similarly sharing the recently unlocked character card with him.
Wen Nan thought, although he is the president, he didn't seem to have strictly required all members to unreservedly share the information they obtained in the instance with him, right?
Why did everyone, by coincidence, choose to send him character cards?
Opening those two character cards, Wen Nan quickly understood the reason—
The last section of Little Y.'s character background:
[However, tonight, the unexpected appearance of a guest named Ye Jiu completely changed Little Y.'s formerly distant personality. Why was that man so charming? Just standing there, Little Y. couldn't resist looking at him. The moment he handed the box of umbrellas to Maid Xiao Huang, the usually angry Little Y. suddenly felt an inexplicable anticipation in her heart, and when he stuffed the yarn ball into Maid Xiao Huang's palm, Little Y.'s heart completely surrendered.]
And Little P.'s character background's last section was even more exaggerated:
[From the first moment of seeing Ye Jiu, Little P. fell in love. "He's so handsome!" "What a great body!" "He's my male god!" "Brother, brother, quickly pat my head, quickly pat my head!" Such thoughts kept echoing in Little P.'s mind. Even if on the surface, TA maintained the image of Maid Azi, like a normal human, deep inside, Little P. had completely become a drooling, sycophantic puppy.]
