A Devoted Believer
"Dog Grandpa, you're so awesome!" Lao Fei emerged, gazing at Ye Suchi with admiration and said, "You're truly amazing!"
"Of course." Ye Suchi smirked, patting the struggling black cat inside the quilt with his small paw, "Stop moving! As a captive, you should act like one!"
"Never has a cat dared to treat me like this!" The black cat continued to struggle.
Ye Suchi rolled his eyes, "Sorry, I'm a dog."
Damn it, as soon as he said that, Ye Suchi regretted it. Who said he was a dog? He was definitely not a dog.
"Never has a dog dared to treat me like this either!" The black cat kept struggling.
"Sorry, but now there is one." Ye Suchi couldn't help but retort.
After he said that, the black cat finally stopped struggling.
Ye Suchi lay down to rest, feeling exhausted. It was all because of this sudden black cat that he had been so troubled for so long, and he hadn't even had the chance to go outside.
By now, Lao Fei had completely worshipped his Dog Grandpa. He had actually managed to deal with such a large, mighty, and strong cat. He decided to follow Dog Grandpa forever!
"Congratulations to the host." The system suddenly popped up, "You have gained a devoted believer, and you have received 1 point of faith."
What? What on earth? Ye Suchi scratched his ears.
"A believer is another type of fan, somewhat similar to a fanatical or brainless fan, who will always follow the host and generate faith points."
He felt a bit eerie listening to this. Ye Suchi shivered, recalling the stories of brainless fans he had seen in his previous life...
He immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
"Unlike star value, which can only be used for drawing lots, faith points can be used for obtaining advanced skills and other purposes. Moreover, faith points can be generated multiple times by the same believer, as long as they are grateful to you for your favors."
Ye Suchi broke out in a cold sweat. He felt like some kind of cult leader or charlatan.
He imagined a Husky wearing a white robe, looking sanctimonious and giving teachings to everyone...
The image was too beautiful to behold.
"What skills can be exchanged?" Ye Suchi asked.
"Once the faith points are sufficient, the system will release them to the host."
"...After all that, it still comes down to drawing lots, doesn't it?" Ye Suchi said sarcastically, "Is there anything else?"
"Since the host has gained a believer for the first time, the host is rewarded with one dose of physical enhancement potion."
"Why didn't you say that earlier!"
Ye Suchi was utterly exasperated.
"Would the host like to use the potion?"
"Of course, I will!"
A warm current spread throughout his limbs, and Ye Suchi felt his limbs seemed much stronger than before, without the fatigue he had just experienced.
He felt he could fight with that black cat for another three hundred rounds!
He checked his panel again, and his combat power had increased from 101 to 201.
Ye Suchi felt the change in himself and nodded, "Alright, you're dismissed."
"Yes, as you command."
... Hearing this, Ye Suchi looked embarrassed. The system was really cooperative.
At this moment, Lao Fei's voice came, "Dog Grandpa, what about that cat girl?"
"Hey, cat girl? Not afraid she'll eat you?" Ye Suchi glanced at Lao Fei, but then he heard a "sobbing" sound coming from under the quilt.
What the hell?
Ye Suchi patted his frightened little heart and lifted the quilt. He saw the cat girl was shivering, her eyes filled with tears, and she was crying pitifully.
What's she up to? Trying to use the sob story or the beauty strategy?
Let me tell you, it won't work! I only love crying, charming beauties!
With a poker face, Ye Suchi quickly covered her back with the quilt.
Her crying was so eerie that it almost scared him.
Lao Fei stared at him with his beady eyes, showing his two big front teeth, looking as funny as could be.
Looking at that silly rat, Ye Suchi rubbed his chin, uh, his legs were too short to reach.
If he could take a picture of Lao Fei like this and post it online, it might attract quite a few eyeballs. Unfortunately! He was just a dog now, and his four legs were good for nothing but running fast!
Not having dexterous fingers was simply unbearable.
Suddenly, Ye Suchi had an idea. It was 2015, the time when live streaming was booming in his previous life. Thinking of those streamers who made a fortune back then, Ye Suchi couldn't help but feel envious. In the heyday of live streaming in his previous life, no matter what people streamed, there were always viewers, of course, there were also many failed streamers.
If he could become a dog streamer now, with his name as "Little Master Husky," he would definitely become famous!
...But how could he, as a dog, stream on his own?
While he was thinking, the black cat under him started making a fuss again. Now she was crying even louder, almost wailing, comparable to the unpleasant sound of a cat in heat.
Ye Suchi couldn't bear it and painfully lifted the quilt, scolding the black cat:
"Stop crying! Get out of here!"
Although the black cat was a female, Ye Suchi, possibly influenced by his current body, wasn't very fond of cats.
Although he always adhered to the principle of ladies first, this principle didn't apply to cats! These female cats were no different from tigresses!
More importantly, Ye Suchi was a guy! Even if he was temporarily a dog!
Chivalry could only be applied to human beauties!
Hearing this, the black cat immediately leaped onto the windowsill, turned her head to glare at Ye Suchi, and said fiercely, "Since the day I was born, I've never been so humiliated. Just you wait!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The little Second Harrier lay there and rolled his eyes sarcastically, "You sure do talk a lot."
The black cat finally let out a "meow" and jumped down from the window and ran away.
"Ding—" The system appeared again and said, "Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task of repelling the black cat and received 500 star points. You now have a total of one thousand star points. Would you like to start the lottery?"
"Draw! Definitely draw!" Ye Suchi immediately said. What if he got another S-level skill? That would be fantastic!
He pressed the roulette wheel that appeared out of thin air, and the pointer finally landed on a white square.
"Congratulations to the host! You have received one dose of physical enhancement potion. Would you like to use it?"
...
"Is that all I got?" Ye Suchi said sarcastically.
"Responding to the host, you have received one dose of physical enhancement potion."
...This lottery seems a bit of a rip-off...
Ye Suchi sighed helplessly. Well, at least he could draw once for every two tasks. It was better than nothing.
After using the potion, another warm current flowed through him. Ye Suchi felt his senses seemed a bit sharper, and his combat power became 301.
"Hey, system, tell me what this combat power means?"
"Responding to the host, the combat power of an average adult male is 500. Your current physical condition is equivalent to that of a young girl."
...Alright then!
"Moreover, as your combat power increases, the host will have better control and mobilization of your strength."
Ye Suchi nodded, dismissed the system, and found Lao Fei had run to the window, looking outside with his front paws folded on his chest.
"What are you doing?" He asked curiously. After all, this was his devoted believer, and occasional care was necessary.
However, saying these words was really damn hard!
For the sake of faith points, Ye Suchi had to prepare to take good care of this fat rat.
"I..." Lao Fei murmured, "Although Miss Cat was a bit fierce, she looked so pitiful when she was crying..."
Grass, what a foolish kid.
Ye Suchi decided to ignore this rat.
After all this trouble, he still hadn't been able to go out for a stroll...
Ye Suchi went to climb out of the window. With his enhanced physical strength, he jumped up and landed on the windowsill this time.
