Curious, he looked in the direction of the sound.
Across the street, I saw an old Mediterranean man sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a classic sleeveless white sweatshirt. He fiddled with the wheels on both sides with his hands, turning them quickly and controlling the wheelchair to shuttle quickly among pedestrians.
Is he... drifting
It's amazing that the old man was clearly drifting in a manual wheelchair, but his technique was excellent. He turned and moved lightly and freely, and when he went around several drainage ditch bends, he managed to swing the wheelchair with the smoothness of a professional figure skater, extremely smooth and silky.
When the wheelchair passed by, it created a gust of wind, which blew up the hems of the female students wearing short skirts along the way, causing them to scream. The old man in the wheelchair even took the time to whistle at the girls, causing them to curse and complain.
Looking at the old man's elegant back as he drifted away, Xue Jing fell into deep thought.
If sitting in a wheelchair counts as a skill, this old guy must be at Level 10.
But I encountered an interesting thing.
Shaking his head, the green light came on, Xue Jing crossed the road and walked into the supermarket.
I bought some beef, pork, vegetables, eggs, ham, vegetarian noodles, onions, ginger, garlic, spices, some used or almost used seasonings, some snacks and fruits. Then I paid at the checkout counter and walked out of the supermarket carrying a big bag.
Xue Jing returned the same way, but stopped when passing a dark alley.
"Um?"
A little black cat with four white gloves jumped down from somewhere and stood in front of him.
The cat does not have a collar, but there is a platinum metal ring on the top of its tail. I don't know if it is a domestic cat decorated by its owner, or a stray cat forced to have it put on by passers-by as a prank.
Its body was dirty and some parts were hairless, which seemed to be caused by a fight with its own kind. There were also spots of solidified blood on its fur, and it was obvious that it had suffered a lot.
After Maomao jumped down, he staggered to Xue Jing, glanced at him with his emerald-like vertical pupils, and then fell to the ground sideways.
"Why are you trying to scam me here?"
Xue Jing burst out laughing.
But the cat looked quite pitiful, so he thought it was fate. He squatted down and prepared to take out some sausages to feed it.
At this moment, the fallen cat opened his mouth and spoke in human language in a daze, mumbling: "I didn't expect... the world of stray cats... to be so cruel, guffaw."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and fainted.

Chapter 4 Divine Skills
"Um?"
Xue Jing was confused. He first suspected that he was hallucinating, then looked around and found that there was no one around. It seemed that there was no one around pretending to be a cat talking. He checked the cat again and did not find any device that could make sounds.
Xue Jing pondered for a while, calmed down, and suppressed his jumping curiosity.
Cats can talk, which is not an uncommon setting in fantasy works, but if you encounter it in real life, it seems a bit weird, so it is better to avoid it.
He quickly took out a few sausages from the supermarket bag, tore off the skins, put them on the ground, then immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
Just as he stood up, the unconscious cat's tail moved unconsciously, causing the platinum tail ring on its tail to touch his fingers.
[Divine matter detected, absorbing divinity... ]
[Contact separation, divine absorption failed]
The translucent skill panel suddenly popped up automatically, revealing two lines of words that had never appeared before.
Xue Jing was stunned and stopped himself from walking away.
"Now... there is no other way. The panel is the basis of my livelihood. In order to investigate the abnormality of the panel, I have no choice but to take it back."
He sighed, and for some reason, he felt inexplicably excited.
Xue Jing leaned down, not minding the dirt, and held the black cat with four white gloves in his arms, and the platinum tail ring on its tail also touched his body.
[Divine matter detected, absorbing divinity... ]
On the panel, the originally light blue and transparent interface was emitting wisps of golden light that continued to gather towards the bottom of the panel. Indistinctly, it seemed that a new skill was gradually emerging.
"Divinity... sounds very high-end."
Xue Jing was a little excited. He was holding the cat and was about to go home, but then he remembered something and turned back to the supermarket.
After entering the supermarket, he bought a bag of cat food in the pet area, asked the cashier for a large bag, put the original purchases and the cat food into it, then held the cat in one hand and the large bag in the other, walked out of the supermarket and back home.
As soon as he entered the door, he first put the plastic bag containing ingredients and cat food on the table, and then sat on the sofa in the living room holding the cat.
Because of the previous panel prompt, he cannot temporarily disconnect from the cat's tail ring to avoid failure in absorbing the divinity.
Although he didn't know what would happen after successfully absorbing the so-called "divinity", according to the general routine, it was basically not a bad thing.
The golden spots of light on the interface were still gathering. Xue Jing held the cat in one hand and stroked it with the other hand.
The fur is messy and there are some missing pieces, but if you look closely, you will find that this cat is in very good condition.
The fur is not messy, the four white gloves are clearly demarcated from the body, the whiskers are neat, and there is white hair like eyeliner at the corners of both eyes, which is long and delicate. It is the kind of beauty cat that makes people feel that it has delicate eyebrows and handsome eyes.
"Little Chic is quite good-looking."
Xue Jing stroked the cat gently, feeling a little expectant.
He didn't know what he was expecting, whether it was the expectation for the changes in the panel after absorbing the divinity, or the expectation that this cat that could speak human language would bring some exciting changes to his life.
"… "
Xue Jing suddenly laughed.
"I am still 'Xue Jing' after all..."
I picked up a talking cat and brought it home. What came to my mind was not the anxiety about the unknown risks, but the excitement about the changes in my life.
This is the mentality of a young man, not the mentality of a middle-aged man who hopes for stability.
Having resolved a doubt deep in his heart, Xue Jing calmed down. While waiting for the completion of the absorption of divinity, he picked up the remote control at hand, turned on the TV and switched to the news channel.
“… The 37th U19 Unlimited Elite Fighting Tournament is about to start the preliminaries, and the young star players from major clubs are gearing up and can’t wait… Today, let’s interview the seeded players of this tournament…”
"… At 2:00 pm on October 8, a brief 'earthquake' occurred on Huaijiang Road in Dongcheng District, Qingcheng District, with a magnitude of 4.1. Under the command of the ruling councillor Chu Minyi, the people carried out emergency evacuation in an orderly manner, and there were no casualties… "
"… Kant Security Company recently announced that it has officially destroyed the large criminal organization 'Dragon Cult'. Kant's head Guan Yingzhi claimed that the Dragon Cult was an illegal evil gang disguised as a religion that has been poisoning society for more than 60 years. In order to protect social stability and ensure the safety of citizens, Kant Security will never allow any lawbreakers… "
"Recently, a group of smuggling gangs from the border area have carried a large amount of illegal goods and have passed through the Edge City defense line and are heading inland. Please, citizens of Qingcheng, take precautions..."
…
I don’t know how much time passed.
[Divine power absorption completed]
As a line of words popped up on the panel, the golden spots floating on the interface also dissipated.
On the panel, at the bottom of the skill bar, a new skill appeared, and unlike the black letters of ordinary skills, these were golden letters that glowed with golden light.
[Twins (not activated): Divine skill, activation requires 525/500 divinity]
[The conditions have been met, do you want to activate? ]
[whether]
Divine skills
Xue Jing's eyes narrowed.
You can tell from the sound that it is obviously not on the same level as ordinary skills.
Xue Jing immediately pointed his finger at "yes".
[Activation successful]
[Twins Lv1 (Divinity required for upgrade: 25/100)]
[Effect:
Passive: Has two lives. After death, can freely choose the resurrection time within seven days. Cooldown time: three months
Active: Unlocked (Divinity 25/500 required to unlock)
Divine Incarnation: Unlocked (Unlocking conditions: Level reaches Lv10, Divine 25/2000)]
"!?"
Shocked.
Although he was mentally prepared in advance and knew that 'divine skills' were definitely different from ordinary skills, Xue Jing really didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
"Aban, you're going to show your hand, right? You don't plan to get along with me as an ordinary gold finger anymore?"
A moment ago, the skill panel was still within the range of ordinary people, with an ordinary cheat code. Although the growth rate was a little faster, it was still within the normal range.
But when the "Twins" appeared, they took him directly into the door of the extraordinary world.
This is a skill that doesn't make sense or based on physics.
Two lives, and you can choose the time of resurrection after death, which means you don't have to worry about your body being guarded, and you won't make a joke of being resurrected immediately after death and then killed again.
What kind of life-saving skill is this? It’s not even a one-time resurrection coin, but you can be resurrected again once the cooling time is up.
Although the cooling time is a bit long, rounding it off, it is basically equivalent to infinite rebirth.
According to what's written on the panel, this is just the passive effect of "Twins".
"Fuck you, why."
Xue Jing felt like ants were crawling on his body.
If the passive skill is so awesome, the active skill must be awesome too.
But it actually requires divinity to unlock it, where can he get it
And what is the effect of this 'divine incarnation'...
Countless thoughts were floating in Xue Jing's mind, and his expression was uncertain.
At this moment, the cat in my arms suddenly trembled and slowly opened its eyes.
It raised its head, and its beautiful emerald-like vertical pupils looked at Xue Jing who was holding it in his arms.
Seeing this, Xue Jing temporarily suppressed his thoughts and raised his hand to touch the cat's head.
He asked with some guilt: "Are you awake?"
I absorbed the divinity without asking for the cat's consent, and I don't know what effect it will have on the cat.
I was too excited to notice it before, but now that I think about it, it’s a bit…
Although Xue Jing believed that his moral bottom line was quite flexible, even if he realized this, he would still secretly absorb divinity for the sake of the skill panel. However, he would inevitably feel guilty when he saw the 'victim' waking up in front of him.
The cat curled up in Xue Jing's arms stared at him blankly for a while, as if it didn't understand its current situation.
It turned its gaze around, looked around, and then returned to Xue Jing's face again.
There seemed to be a flash of light in the emerald vertical pupil.
The cat spoke.
"Meow~~"
That sound.
Xue Jing got goosebumps from the pinch.

Chapter 5 Are you pretending again
"… "
Xue Jing's expression was a little subtle.
Hasn’t this cat learned how a normal cat meows? How can it be so nippy
What are you pretending to be
Xue Jing put his hands under the cat's front paws and lifted it up so that it was level with himself.
