The lynx lost its breath in Nie's house a week after Nie Liao brought it back to China.
The afternoon sun was very good that day. Nie Liao sat on the railing of the corridor with the big cat in his arms and basked in the sun. The hair on the big cat's body was shedding badly. He didn't dare to touch it too much, he could only shake it lightly like coaxing a child. .
He hadn't slept well for many days, maybe he would be too tired, so he leaned against the pillar and squinted for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the body of the big cat in his arms had gradually cooled down.
He called out, "Da Bao?"
The big cat, who used to lean over and raise its chin to be scratched when it heard his cry, was motionless at this moment, ignoring its stiff body, it looked like it was in a deep sleep.
Nie Liao hugged it and closed his eyes, silent for a long time.
The lynx was buried by Nie Liao himself. Nie Lin knew that his beloved Da Mao went abroad with his fifth uncle, and died of an inexplicable illness after returning, and the cause could not be found, so he cried in his yard For many days, until the New Year greetings to Nie Liao, there was no smile on his face.
Zou Ming and Zhao Shitang watched Nie Liao bury the lynx with their own eyes. They didn't get along much with the lynx, and they all felt that it was a pity that it died of such an inexplicable illness, not to mention how Nie Liao would feel.
The place where the lynx was buried was near the rockery opposite the corner of the corridor where Nie Liao met it for the first time.
Lynx usually likes to lie on this rockery and bask in the sun.
The two of them have been by Nie Liao's side for so many years, and they know that the calmer he looks now, the greater the impact on his heart. They have also seen Nie Liao pampering the big cat before, really holding it in the palm of his hand and pampering him.
When the lynx just died, Nie Liao would go and sit near the place where the lynx was buried every day, without doing or saying anything, just standing there.
The same goes for Nie Lin and Nie Xuan. Whenever they have time, they will take the lynx's favorite food and play, and run to the corridor here, staying for a long time.
Gradually, Zou Ming found that Nie Lin and Nie Xuan came to the corridor less frequently, and the number of times Nie Liao went was gradually decreasing. And he himself, unknowingly, gradually forgot about the big cat.
Until one day, Nie Liao and a few guests who were invited to Nie's house passed the corner of the corridor, and he casually glanced at the slightly raised mound near the rockery. He asked Zou Ming and Zhao Shitang beside him.
"What's going on there? What's buried?"
Zou Ming followed his line of sight and frowned. After thinking for a while, he still had no definite impression, and said vaguely, "I don't know. It seems that San Shao made it a long time ago. Why don't you let someone go and have a look?"
Nie Liao stared at the mound of dirt for a moment, then looked back and said, "Forget it, since A Lin made it, don't worry about it, it won't affect anything anyway."

Yu Jiatang felt that this time he "walked" more than in the last world, "My lord, really don't be so sudden next time, at least let me say goodbye to old Nie Dao."
The king replied "well and well" to comfort him, "Don't worry too much, from the moment you leave, traces of you will be gradually cleared by the mission world, and they will be fine."
"Let's wait for the rating results to come out now. If we're lucky, you'll be fine in the next world."
Yu Jiatang stabilized his mood and asked: "Speaking of the rating results, I remember that when I returned to your main brain space in the last world, didn't the superiors send a system notification? Why haven't there been any notifications yet?"
"It may be that the new and old hosts are changing recently, and when the various mission systems are being upgraded, the superiors are much busier than me. For example, the recent Director Yan, he has traveled hundreds of worlds in the time of your mission. , to deal with the mess for some novice hosts, and they are so busy that they can hardly take care of themselves."
Yu Jiatang was surprised: "All kinds of mission systems? Are there other types of missions?" He thought that the missions of those hosts were similar to his.
The king was also dumbfounded, "That's for sure, each host's task is different, there are those who wear supporting roles to counterattack the superiors, and some wear the protagonists to abuse the scum, etc. But the sour route they take is very brain-intensive, and the tasks are difficult. It’s not easy to earn points. It’s much better if we wear animals, most of them are silly and sweet.”
"Usually being coquettish and cute, as long as your luck is not too bad, the task rating will not be too low. How good this is, I don't know what those hosts think, they even say that our cute pet department is a pension department, many of them say They will only consider our department when they can’t do those basic missions.”
"It's too much." Yu Jiatang cooperatively made a look of displeasure.
"You think so too, obviously the cute pet department is so good, it's easy to earn and save effort, and you can also experience a different lifestyle, wearing birds, animals, seafood..."
Yu Jiatang groaned in his heart, as if he had opened the door to a new world, especially when he heard the last one wearing seafood.
Thinking of the first two quest worlds, the seafood he ate so much, there should be no other quest partners here, right
While arguing with the king, the system prompt message finally came. After the king saw the task score displayed on it, he screamed strangely for more than ten minutes.
"S, host!!"
Task rating In addition to the tacit understanding value and petting value obtained during the task process, which are important reference data, there are two other important values—the overall favorability value and blessing value of the task target.
Yu Jiatang looked at the extremely high favorability and blessing values above, but he didn't feel happy at all, instead he was bored and sour. If it wasn't for his physical state, he would definitely cry.
Old Nie with such a sullen personality, so...
The king sensed that something was wrong with the host, and quickly said: "Yutang, calm down, with this rating, you will definitely be able to live happily with the shit-shoveling officer in the next world for a long time!"
Yu Jiatang barely cheered up when he heard the words. Although he didn't know if "he" would be encountered in the next mission world, he still asked, "When will the next mission start?"
"You just finished a task, do you want to take a break? I'm just visiting our system training forum. The teacher's lecture is very good, and it's very profound. I even took special notes, planning to"
Yu Jiatang interrupted it, "Is the teacher your idol?"
The king said a little shyly: "...is it so obvious, he is the first system in our department to have a physical system, his host [beep—]"
Yu Jiatang frowned: "What's the matter, why did the sound suddenly disappear?"
The king was so frightened that the data became disordered, and it took a long time to calm down, and replied: "It's okay, I just accidentally said something beyond my authority, and was reminded by the monitoring system."
"... Then you should pay attention in the future. I think the host of your idol should be extraordinary, otherwise the restrictions will not be so terrible that you can't even mention it."
The king responded repeatedly. In fact, it was not just a reminder, it was a warning. If it commits the crime again, it may directly lower its intelligence level. Lowering the level of intelligence is even more terrifying than destruction for a highly intelligent system like them.
"Big fish! Your authority is up!" The king was planning to visit the forum while Yu Jiatang was researching the new features after his upgrade, when he found an email box specially used to receive information from his superiors, and a reminder popped up.
Yu Jiatang hurriedly opened the mail, but there was nothing in it, just a letter and mail.
It says the new privilege opened by Yu Jiatang—
1. The host who has obtained the S-level task rating will be awarded the title of "Excellent Host", and this title will add "100 points" to all the large and small attribute points except hidden attributes.
2. The upper limit of the four tasks of tacit understanding, love, favor and blessing has been increased by 500,000.
3. The tacit understanding value is the same as the pet value to enable the saving function. The tacit understanding value that has not been consumed in the previous world will be converted according to a certain percentage and will continue to be reserved for use in the next world.
4. When the task is about to be completed, the host can consume a certain amount of favorability points and choose the way he wants to leave.
5. Open the exclusive function of hosts above level 5 in advance - prolonging the stay time in the task world, which needs to consume a certain amount of four major task values.
…
There are a series of miscellaneous functions below, but it is the first five that attract Yu Jiatang the most.
Needless to say, the first two items have direct effects, and the benefits are obvious.
the third item. When I first got along with Lao Nie in the last world, because Lao Nie's pet value was difficult to get, he had no pet value, so he couldn't activate the tacit understanding value, and couldn't open their main pet communication function.
With this third function, if the tacit understanding value does not need to be completely cleared, it will be converted to the next world according to the proportion, it will not be too convenient!
The last two...
That was the function he had been waiting for for a long time! It is the key for him to fly from the waves! It's the god assist that he and the shit shoveler love each other!
Yu Jiatang was so happy that his spirit and body were almost twisted into twists.
"Yutang, calm down, do you remember your original job in the world, you are a gentle and polite university lecturer, the most handsome lecturer in the hearts of most girls in the school!"
Yu Jiatang continued to twist: "So what? When I had a body, I had to maintain the teacher's seriousness. Now that I don't have a body, why don't I be allowed to mess around?"
Your Majesty: ...that makes sense and cannot be refuted.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the task given by the superior has not been completed, let's hurry up!"
The king looked at it, and then fell silent.
"My lord? Are you here? The mission will start when it arrives."
The king's voice was a little weak, "Yutang, you have to be mentally prepared, I think this task... doesn't look easy..."
Yu Jiatang: "The information we agreed to keep secret before the start of the mission, I want to complain to you!" He was so frightened that his spirit and body dimmed.
"I'm serious with you, I'm going to send you into the mission world, come, take a deep breath with me—"
Yu Jiatang: "..."
"Wait, don't talk so intrusively, what are you explaining more clearly, this is a little bit hidden..." At first he was very happy to get the golden finger, but he was scared away by the king all of a sudden.
"I can't say anything else. The mission information is kept secret. Anyway, when you get to the mission world, you will naturally be able to see the mission details. Come, come, take a deep breath."
***
When Yu Jiatang opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an iron cage. Then I saw a man in overalls walking over, frowning at himself.
"Didn't it mean that No. 66 is dead? He also said that he found a replacement for it. I think it's alive and well."
A gentle and beautiful girl beside the man walked to Yu Jiatang's cage, looked at him carefully for a while, and then said:
"It seems that the spirit is a bit weak, but it should be fine. We have trained these cats for a long time before they can barely show any effect. No. 66 is the best one among them. It is still a puppet, without the manpower and material resources spent on training. Its variety and appearance can sell for 10,000 to 20,000."
"The benefactor is in a hurry. Since it is not dead, let's find a veterinarian to show it. If there is nothing wrong, the benefactor will come to ask for it in a few days, so we can make a deal."
