Chapter 7

Fu Yue stared in disbelief.

What’s going on, was she just battling with her rich dad?

Fu Yue quickly and wisely lowered the head she had just lifted in anger, then pretended to gradually fall to the ground as if seriously injured.

However, even as she lay flat and still, the four cameras stuck by her side, determined to capture every detail of her.

Unable to move a muscle, Fu Yue could only scream in her mind: Please, get away from me!

As she debated whether to vanish like an NPC, Arnold walked over.

He reached under Fu Yue’s arms, lifted her up, and gently set her back down on the ground.

Fu Yue, "???"

Feigning unconsciousness with her eyes closed, Fu Yue felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes, she saw a round camera lens pointing at her. It didn’t seem like a big deal until she noticed her reflection in the glass of the lens.

Fu Yue reached out with trembling hands and touched her head. She felt smooth skin without any obstacles… Oh, they would take off their helmets after the match ended… Quickly understanding the situation, Fu Yue was no longer the angry female knight from the Middle Ages, but a mature socialite who had weathered many hardships.

She put on a smile specifically designed for subtly impressing leaders, a smile that combined approval with admiration and yearning.

"General, your moves were so smooth, and your fighting skills are very professional." After all, she hadn’t touched the ground from start to finish.

"Hmm," Arnold replied calmly.

Of course, even though it was his first time playing the game, fighting itself was not unfamiliar to him at all.

Arnold was worried that the Blue Star people’s pet would be afraid of him, but looking at her expression, he thought he was doing well.

After thinking for a while, he figured out the reason why the pet was here.

In this mini combat game, when not connected to the internet, the system usually customizes opponents based on the player’s physical fitness. But the opponent in front of him was too different in all aspects of quality.

Without internet connection, the only way to access the game was through the Blue Star people’s pet connected to the intranet.

Although it was slightly different from what was expected, the result was not off track.

Remembering what was mentioned in the book "How to Care for Small Pets" about not using force against pets early on to avoid resistance.

It was a wise decision to keep it at the beginning.

He was very pleased with this unexpected outcome, as it met the need to demonstrate combat power in the video recording, while also fulfilling his previous desire for a practical demonstration.

At this moment, the Blue Star people’s pet was still admiringly looking at him.

Yes, he knew that look of admiration, he would always see it in the soldiers’ eyes when he led drills and boosted their morale in the legion.

Thinking about the words of encouragement he used to inspire the new recruits in the army camp, Arnold’s eyes gazed heavily at Fu Yue.

"?" Fu Yue was confused.

"You are too weak." Both mentally and in combat skills in the game.

There was no hint of a smile on Arnold’s face, his beautiful violet eyes gleamed with an inorganic sheen, appearing particularly indifferent.

"I will make time to bring you here for training later."

Huh?

Fu Yue’s smile froze on her lips, and a vein bulged on her temple.

Wasn’t it enough to torment her once, why again?

Looking at the Zerg tribe general in front of her, she felt lucky that they were from outer space. It’s good that mistreating pets is against the law on Blue Star! It’s just not right!

She wanted to hit someone. But she knew she couldn’t.

She felt so angry.

After taking a few deep breaths, she tried to encourage herself not to act impulsively. Fu Yue managed to force a smile on her face.

"I’ll be waiting for you in the living room after the game."

Leaving this message, Arnold quickly logged out of the game.

Fu Yue also exited the game, woke up from the nutrient pod, and her fake smile instantly faded from her face.

Kurds have to be experts in gaming to keep pets? Isn’t this requirement too strict?

But soon, thinking about Arnold’s invitation to the living room, Fu Yue became happy again.

She can go out now!

Did the sweet talk just take effect? Is the earlier event a kind of unusual job interview? Testing her resilience and loyalty?

Anyway, no matter the reason, Fu Yue happily hummed a tune while drying herself, joyfully putting on the clothes she had complained about a thousand times before.

Before going out, she looked at the glass in front of her and the door that suddenly appeared. She paused for a moment.

Is this considered officially going to meet the boss?

Even though they had met before, she still summoned a mirror projection, tidied up her appearance. Appearance is quite important during an interview, especially when applying for a pet-related position.

Examining herself closely, she noticed her face seemed fairer and smoother.

Not to say she wasn’t fair before, but previous fairness was akin to the paleness of a girl who stayed indoors all day. Now, her skin was plump and moist, with a healthy fair complexion tinged with a hint of pink, bright eyes, looking energetic.

Looking back, the morning nosebleeds had decreased. Though she still felt dizzy occasionally, the frequency was becoming less and less.

Fu Yue looked at her reflection and felt very satisfied with how she looked. After admiring herself and fixing her outfit, she finally left Pet Warehouse.

Walking through the long aisle outside of Pet Warehouse, Fu Yue finally arrived at a spacious area.

But… why is everything here white?

Along the way, from the white Pet Warehouse to the white corridors and doors, now in this hall, all she could see was a vast expanse of white.

This place feels even more eerie than a funeral parlor… luckily, within this white hall, there was a colorful 3D projection!

Fu Yue looked excitedly towards it.

She then realized it was playing a clip of Arnold beating her in the game, diligently edited to create a very cool 3D projection version of an action movie documentary. Her helplessness in the beating was even slowed down in detail, making her defeat look even more clear.

Fu Yue, "…" Oh, it’s better not to show this.

With a stern face, she shifted her gaze to the sofa opposite the screen, where Arnold was sitting. His back was straight, but only occupying half of the sofa.

Fu Yue saw a person’s leg and walked towards him immediately.

But where should she stay?

She looked at the sofa next to her, but it felt too far. She wanted to make an impression.

Sitting next to the boss? She glanced at him staring silently at the screen and decided against it.

Just as Fu Yue was still unsure, Arnold turned around and looked right at her.

Startled by his red lifeless eyes so close, Fu Yue couldn’t help but back away. She forgot the grand introduction she had planned to greet the leader, now unable to even maintain a fake smile.

Arnold gestured for her to come over, and Fu Yue followed his command without thinking.

Before she knew it, she was standing in front of Arnold.

Facing him, he was almost as tall as Fu Yue. His imposing stature, fine features, and aloof expression made Fu Yue feel intimidated.

Strange, why does playing games feel so different from real life even though they are the same? Just now in the game, could that have been her best performance at work ever? Fu Yue hesitated a bit.

Arnold reached out his hand.

What is he going to do!

Fu Yue slightly leaned her body back, but the other person quickly and accurately held her waist and placed her on his lap.

And face down.

"??? What kind of devilish move is this?"

Although very confused, the highly tense Fu Yue did not move at all. She even lay stiffly on the other person’s lap, stiffening her limbs straight, without bending or relaxing. Her eyes were fixed parallelly on the creases of the leather sofa.

Then she felt a hand touching her head.

Hmm, quite gentle?

Fu Yue hesitated for a moment, then felt a hand placed on top of her head, moving slowly and firmly, as if trying to pull out her hair. The hand moved from the top of her head down through her hair.

MD, let go quickly! My eyes are about to be pulled out of shape!

Even though Fu Yue wanted to hit the bug a hundred times, she resisted the urge on the surface.

With the other person’s movements, she started to realize – is this… petting?

Even though she didn’t have fur.

Perhaps due to her indifference, thankfully, Arnold stopped exploring her scalp and moved on to other areas.

After the recent ordeal, Fu Yue remained calm even when her backside was touched as a side effect.

It’s okay, no cat would feel embarrassed or enraged from being touched on the butt by its owner.

Arnold’s touch quickly became gentle and warm, almost feeling like a massage. Fu Yue relaxed, placing her hands and feet on Arnold’s legs.

After relaxing, Fu Yue caught a very faint and indescribable scent that was unlike any other smell she had encountered before, but strangely it touched her heart in just the right way.

As she enjoyed the massage on her back, she lay there even more peacefully.

After finishing her back, Arnold flipped her over.

Suddenly face to face, Fu Yue couldn’t help but feel nervous again.

Perhaps it was because there were too many features on her face, making it uncomfortable to touch. Arnold skipped the face part and tried to massage her pet from the chest.

This is workplace harassment!

Fu Yue immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest and shook her head desperately.

Arnold paused for a moment, then gave up on that area and instead placed his hand on her belly.

Instinctively, Fu Yue tightened her stomach almost immediately.

But who doesn’t love touching a cat’s soft little belly? Fu Yue comforted herself and quickly relaxed, revealing her slightly chubby belly.

Arnold indeed started poking at her little fat rolls after touching the soft flesh.

Ah, she knows everything.

However, when reaching her waist, the motionless Yue suddenly shook involuntarily.

The hand on her body also noticed this and tentatively stopped.

It’s okay, it’s okay… Fu Yue encouraged herself: You can even endure the just-combed hair and butt, so why be afraid of this.

After a few seconds, the hand landed on her waist again. This time, it happened to touch the itchiest part for Fu Yue, so even though it was a bit heavy-handed, Fu Yue still covered her mouth, shaking uncontrollably.

So itchy!

Finally, the movement stopped, Fu Yue released her hand from her mouth, and looked back at Arnold.

Oh no, even though the man’s face showed no emotion, Fu Yue noticed his hand slightly raising, showing eagerness inside.

Don’t come any closer!

Fu Yue tried to stop him, but could she be faster than Kurds?

So Fu Yue endured another round of inhumane torture, this time Arnold somehow learned to control his strength, lightly touching and scratching at Fu Yue’s most vulnerable side.

"Hahaha…" Fu Yue couldn’t help bursting into laughter, while trying to wriggle out of the painful grip, using all her limbs.

But her opponent was a general from the Zerg tribe. With just one hand, he easily restrained Fu Yue, while the other hand remained on her waist, continuing with his previous actions.

1086 reported diligently, "Blue Star people’s current emotions are very excited, the contact is very effective!"

Arnold’s movements became even faster.

"Hahaha… sob… Too much joy can turn into pain. After a long time of scratching and tickling, tears were forced out of Fu Yue’s eyes. She was panting, not caring about her dignity anymore. ‘Please stop… hahaha sob… help me…’ "Warning! Warning! The Blue Star people’s pet is on the verge of breakdown, please stop your actions immediately!"

Arnold ignored what was happening and continued to pet the pet he had just learned how to touch.

Watching his pet becoming very lively on his leg due to his actions, his face lit up and his cheeks turned red, giving him a strange sense of excitement.

After a while, seeing liquid coming out of the pet’s eyes, Arnold curiously asked 1086 directly through telepathy, "Do Blue Star people also have the ability to produce liquid?"

"[The phenomenon of tears from the eyes is one of the symbols of emotional breakdown in Blue Star people! Warning! Warning!]

With 1086’s explanation and the warning sounding again, Arnold finally stopped petting the pet.

He lifted the pet up again, remained silent for a while, brought his legs together, and carefully placed the fragile pet back on his lap.

The current Fu Yue was unable to respond at all. After the excessive laughter turned into another emotion following the tickling, it transformed into tears, all pouring out from her body.

The recent laughter left her completely exhausted, so she weakly leaned against Arnold. From quiet sobbing, it turned into loud weeping.

It’s just not fair!

With a cry, Fu Yue let out all the grievances, impatience, and helplessness that had been building up in her these days.

Crying and hiccuping at the same time, she murmured intermittently in her sobs, "Being sold off… to outer space… as a pet… then getting flooded… with no meat to eat and having nightmares… just playing a game is bad enough… getting beaten up and turned into a video…"

There can’t be a pet as miserable as her in the world!

Arnold looked silently at his pet, for the first time realizing that Blue Star people also had strange ways of expressing emotions like shedding tears.

Struggling to make out her unclear words, but failing due to the overlapping onomatopoeias. Only the warnings of emotions from 1086 pairs of Blue Star people’s pets kept echoing in his mind, helping him understand that she was currently in an emotional breakdown.

Listening to 1086 explain the emotional composition of the Blue Star people in his mind, looking at the pie chart generated by the system, with a large area filled with emotions like "sadness, heartbreak," he searched for solutions on relevant websites using his chip. Finally, he found a suitable response in an article titled "Blue Star people Comfort Guide."

He gently placed his palm on Fu Yue’s head, and in a low voice said, "Drink more hot water."
