Chapter 1191 - 528: This Is How Corners Treat Muli
No one can resist Big Mimi.
Mimi is no exception.
Lin Li called for no more than ten seconds when the nearby bushes rustled again, and a cat’s head peeked out from the bottom. The cat’s eyes were quite bright as they looked at Lin Li in the night, responding with a meow.
It was an orange cat, a member of the elderly clan, but likely not purebred, as there were some other colors mixed in.
"Hajimi, come here, or I’ll turn you into braised rice."
Since "Voice of All Things" wasn’t activated yet, Lin Li wasn’t worried about the cat understanding his words. He squatted down, beckoning to the orange cat, and spoke in a gentle tone about things that weren’t quite gentle.
Perhaps Lin Li’s "Spirit Beast Affinity Plus 150%" physical improvement was taking effect, as the orange cat hesitated for a few seconds before slowly stepping forward, rubbing its head against Lin Li’s folded legs due to squatting, and then curled up on the nearby ground.
Quite obedient.
Lin Li reached out and picked it up with one hand, and the orange cat didn’t resist, only turned its head to look at Lin Li and meowed a few times.
It must have been fed by people often, as it was quite friendly.
Then Lin Li continued to stroll around the park, calling out to the wild cats.
The reason for not activating "Voice of All Things" now was to save time and reduce the search process.
It didn’t take long before Lin Li caught another cat with a cow-like pattern with his left hand.
"Meow~"
Not far away, a white cat seemed to have just woken up, and its eyes glimmered as it looked at Lin Li who had approached, but it didn’t run away, only flipped over.
Lin Li then placed both the orange cat and the cow-patterned cat on the ground and gently stroked them.
Using the "Duck Blood Bottle" he absorbed some animal-like drowsiness from the white cat—perhaps it would be useful later—and then Lin Li looked at the system panel.
Specify Animal Realm.
"Please specify a single type of organism."
Specify Chordata.
"Please specify a single type of organism."
Mammalia? Carnivora?
"Please specify a single type of organism."
Felidae?
When Felidae was specified, the system did not send a notification message but directly started the ability countdown—it succeeded.
It seems that the system’s definition of "a type of organism" is within the category of "family."
Review: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, Family is smaller than Class and Phylum.
Tsk, Family is more useful, Class and Phylum are not, go take a poop!
But actually, it’s larger than Lin Li anticipated.
Lin Li originally speculated it would be within "Felis," as "Felidae" also includes tigers, lions, and leopards, which are "big ’cats’" without "cat" in their names.
Understanding this, Lin Li refocused his attention on the three cats in front of him, noting that the cow-patterned cat was already looking to leave.
"Hello there."
"Ha——!!"
As Lin Li spoke, the three cats, including the sleepy white cat, first directed their gaze at Lin Li, then, upon confirming the sound came from him, simultaneously assumed scare postures, escaping from his touch, retreating to the corner, baring their sharp teeth, hissing at Lin Li.
The airplane-ear orange cat had the demeanor of an old friend.
These cats already have haggen, they can das.
Just kidding.
Lin Li found their hissing quite normal now.
Imagine, you’re in your bedroom, pants off, nervously entering Wise One time, and the cat lying on your desk suddenly nods and praises, "That shot was beautiful, dog修金桑麻."
And right, it’s a male cat, so theoretically it would speak in a deep male voice.
Isn’t that terrifying?
In fact, any situation where you hear another creature speaking human language, the first response would surely be shock and subconscious fear of such unknown existence.
Cats are the same.
Therefore, Lin Li took a step back with a smile, trying to reassure the three cats before smiling again and continuing his introduction:
"Hello there, I mean you no harm, so don’t be so worried or scared."
"Meow——" the middle white cat let out a prolonged meow.
"Sorry, I can’t understand what you’re saying. I can only speak words you can understand, and not all the time, just for an hour." Assuming cats must be expressing something, Lin Li continued his gentle introduction.
Another few cat sounds followed.
The three cats gradually calmed down from their initial fear reactions, no longer fluffing up or hissing, but still remained cautious without moving closer.
But the white cat, likely the bravest of the three, raised its tail high and walked a circle around Lin Li, its large eyes wide open.
"Would you like something to eat? If yes, touch my left hand, that’s this one. If no, touch this hand."
Although the ability didn’t allow Lin Li to understand cat language, cats aren’t like zombies that act only on instinct. In real life, people can communicate simply with cats through understanding their habits and training, especially knowing that cats definitely understand his words in this situation.
The white cat hesitated for a moment before touching Lin Li’s left hand.
"Want some fish snacks? If yes, nod."
The white cat nodded, and the other two cats couldn’t resist their curiosity and food expectations anymore, and came closer.
Lin Li checked around to ensure no humans were present, then manifested the "Fire Separation Sword Nourishing Gourd," gently patting the gourd’s body.
