Chapter 297: 297, Can’t this cat go out? _1
“It’s pretty simple.” Su Yu shrugged, “The 75th Mainline Quest I took bestowed upon me a golden legendary pet egg…”
Su Yu then went on to recount the origin of Morning Star.
At the end of his explanation, he gave thought and relayed to Zhu Guorui and Xue Wenli the two hints Bernina had given to Morning Star. It was best they knew about these matters as early as possible.
Upon knowing the contents of the hints, there was an even greater shock upon Xue Wenli and Zhu Guorui.
Time-space manager?
Modifying the speed of time?
Gaming creatures could resurrect multiple times in the real world?
Zhu Guorui’s complexion turned solemn.
It seemed he had completely underestimated the game, and a “time-space manager” was beyond his scope of understanding.
On the other hand, Xue Wenli was quite unstable.
She staggered to the room’s couch, and after drinking a sip of the water Su Yu handed to her, her mood calmed down a bit.
“No way, this matter is too important, I must report it immediately!” she thought.
Then Xue Wenli stood up and looked at Su Yu, “Nemesis, may I report this to Commissioner Zhang, letting the higher-ups know?”
“Of course.” Su Yu waved his hands carelessly, “If I didn’t want this to be reported, I wouldn’t have invited you here.”
“That’s good, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and report this right now!” Xue Wenli took one last glance at Morning Star, then turned around, ready to depart.
Normally, she should take a clear photo of Morning Star for the report to have an impact.
But considering that Su Yu might dislike that, she refrained from doing so.
After all, Morning Star looked similar to the cats on Blue Star, except for the shining blue starlight on its fur. She thought she could just find a realistic painter to make a drawing later.
But Su Yu halted her, “Wait, there’s one more thing.”
“What is it?” Xue Wenli looked at him.
Su Yu pointed at Morning Star “May I bring her to the streets, show her around?”
“That’s…” Xue Wenli was a bit troubled.
“What’s wrong human? May I not go outside?” Morning Star suddenly spoke up.
Morning Star’s voice was crisp, but her tone sounded very irritated.
“She can even talk!” Xue Wenli was shocked by Morning Star’s sudden outburst, she did not expect Su Yu’s pet to have intelligence!
However, she quickly regained her composure and explained to Morning Star in a slightly appeasing tone, “It’s not that I don’t want to, I’m worried about the bacteria and viruses on your body spreading wide in our world. I’m also concerned about our world’s bacteria and viruses posing harm to you.”
Xue Wenli looked pleadingly at Zhu Guorui.
Zhu Guorui nodded and added, “Wen Li is absolutely right, we discovered this problem after the Skuru people arrived: they are extraterrestrial life and carry bacteria and virus types and configurations that are completely different from Blue Star.”
“Last time, several soldiers who participated in the Lingwu Mountain operation caught one or several severe illnesses induced by alien bacteria and viruses. They are still being treated.”
“Many of the Skuru captured in the Lingwu Mountain operation also died from Blue Star viruses and bacteria. Only the stronger ones could barely survive.”
“So our worries are not without reason.”
Su Yu: “Well….”
He hadn’t really thought this through.
Even though Morning Star didn’t understand what they meant by “bacteria and viruses,” she disdainfully waved her paw,
“I am a creature from the Star Realm and I’m not carrying what you’re talking about. Also, I can cast a protective shield to cut off contact from the outside, so there’s no issue.”
Immediately after, accompanied by a faint “buzz,” a light blue uneven shield with starlight flowing appeared around her.
This was her Star Shield ability, able to isolate the inside and outside completely. Not even air, let alone bacteria and viruses, can pass through.
Zhu Guorui assessed the shield briefly and suggested, “How about this, Su Yu, I’ll talk to the government higher-ups for you and argue for letting this little cat go out. But until the message is confirmed, you must stay at home.”
“Well, we will stay at home and await your news then,” Su Yu nodded.
After Zhu Guorui and Xue Wenli left, they went to the “relevant department” together and discussed the events happening in Su Yu’s place via video conference with the government higher-ups.
And they were very efficient.
Two hours later, Su Yu received a call from Xue Wenli.
In the call, Xue Wenli said that Morning Star was approved to go out but can only move within a radius of 3 kilometers centered at Su Yu’s house current.
After the health experts have confirmed no issues a week later, they could further expand Morning Star’s range of movement.
Su Yu raised no objections to this.
After the call ended, he left the house with Morning Star.
Right now, the streets were under curfew.
Ever since the existence of the “Skuru people” was made public, the country had implemented a curfew on all towns and cities. The so-called “curfew” was a ban on all night activities from 8 PM to 5 AM the next day.
The reason for the “curfew” was mainly out of fear of night-time mischief. Additionally, other than East Sea City, other cities have increasing numbers of “ghosts” or unseen spirits. The “Ghost Searching Ruler” that can destroy these spirits had not yet been forged, so it was indeed dangerous to roam outside at night.
But things were different for Su Yu.
Su Yu usually eliminated spirits during night-time operations in the past month and a half, so he had specific privileges for night-time movements.
Therefore, taking advantage of the lack of people, he thought it was a good time to take Morning Star around.
Su Yu wandered aimlessly on the streets with Morning Star on his shoulder, curiously observing this world.
As they walked, Su Yu introduced the basics of Blue Star to her. For example, how the depletion of spiritual energy led to the entry of Blue Star into the Dharma Ending Age… how the people of Blue Star had made significant development in technology… all the way to the events from one and a half months ago of the Singer Civilization setting up their scheme and the Skuru people invading.
All of these topics could take a day and a night to discuss in detail, so Su Yu just gave Morning Star a general summary.
Through Su Yu’s explanation, Morning Star started to understand the situation on Blue Star.
However, it was only an initial understanding. To understand it deeper, she would need more time.
There was not much of interest within the three-kilometer radius.
Su Yu took Morning Star for two rounds and brought her to take a look at the highest residential roof before bringing her back home.
After returning home, Su Yu showed Morning Star electronic internet devices like computers, mobile phones and so on.
After understanding the capabilities of these electronic terminals, Morning Star quickly gained immense interest in them!
After Su Yu taught her how to use the phone, she simply skipped sleeping and non-stop, swiped with her cat paw on the phone’s screen, searching for everything she was interested in.
It wasn’t until 4 AM when she was unable to persevere any longer that she fell into a dead sleep next to the phone.
PS: I missed a chapter update yesterday. I’ll definitely make up for it tomorrow.
