However, just as Xiao Hei was about to step inside, a shop assistant, holding a long-handled broom, looked menacing and startled Xiao Hei.

‘The alluring aroma of meat draws you into a shop.’ (Discovered Food Store ×1)

The shop assistant shouted: ‘Go! Go!’ while brandishing the broom and waving it at you.

Diners sat on chairs, eating their meals leisurely, showing no reaction to what was happening, except for one little girl who glanced at you curiously.

Driven away by the shop assistant, you hastily fled outside.

As expected, it failed.

After a little exploration, you discovered a trash can.

However, it was full of used tissues ×1, a bubble tea cup with a few pearls left ×1, empty plastic bottles ×1, and other trash.

Lin Fan was unwilling to give up and rummaged through it again, finding a dirty balloon ×1, waste newspaper ×1, and orange peel ×1, still without finding anything edible.

He pondered: “Is this the difference between different maps? In old residential areas, it’s easier to find food and mice in the trash cans, while in shopping streets, the trash cans are full of inedible things. However, there's a larger flow of people, so there's a higher chance of attracting people to pet the cat.

“But relying on people who pet cats to give food doesn't seem very reliable.

“Besides trying to attract people with cuteness to feed me, sneaking into food stores while the staff aren't paying attention might also be a way to find food, but it feels a bit risky.”

Time to go!

This shopping street isn’t suitable for long-term survival. If things get really bad, I can come here to try my luck selling cuteness, freeloading might be considered.

After leaving the shopping street, Lin Fan truly began his wandering life.

Residential areas, residential areas, squares…

Wandering between different locations, sometimes for a short time like the shopping street, not even staying a week before moving on, and occasionally finding a suitable location to stay a bit longer, but never exceeding two weeks.

Sometimes it was because of insufficient food, and sometimes it was encountering competition from other stray cats.

Although Xiao Hei had grown a bit, he was not yet an adult and couldn't fight head-on, so he had to temporarily avoid confrontation.

In front of a trash can, a large ginger cat with bristling whiskers, opened its mouth wide, and looked fierce, seemingly warning Xiao Hei.

‘You followed the scent and discovered a trash can, but there’s already a cat here.

It gave you a threatening roar, indicating that this was its territory. If you stay here, you’re likely to be attacked.’

“Wow, I just got here and started exploring, and I already found a competitor.” Lin Fan was extremely depressed and forced to leave. “Wait, when Xiao Hei grows up, I’ll definitely be back! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a cat when it's young and poor!”

This was truly unlucky. Transferring maps consumed 1 action point, and exploring consumed 1 action point, which was equivalent to wasting 2 opportunities, plus the loss of fullness and cleanliness in between.

Now fullness has dropped to 40 points again.

Open the map.

The scene changed. Xiao Hei stood in a green patch of grass, sunlight filtering through the canopy above, scattering golden spots of light. In the direction he gazed, there were a few joggers on a tree-lined path, their shirts soaked with sweat, the faint words “Park” disappearing.

So it’s a park?

Lin Fan chose to familiarize himself with the environment and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: “Holy crap!”

Before him was a flowerbed. A girl wearing a white dress was squatting on the ground, with a gentle smile on her face, holding a handful of brown cat food, lightly scattering it on the ground around her.

Three to five stray cats of different colors and sizes surrounded her, eating the cat food on the ground.

The artist had emphasized her features. Two strands of hair on the girl's forehead were lifted by the breeze, the sun shone on her, making her look holy and radiant. The harmonious cats around her further highlighted her purity, as if she were an angel descending to earth.

In Lin Fan's eyes, this girl was no different from an angel at this moment!

‘As you stroll among the flowerbeds in the park, you encounter a beautiful girl feeding the cats.’ (Discovered Feeder ×1)

The girl's voice was very gentle: ‘Good cats, don't fight, there's enough for everyone.’

You hurried over, but stopped next to a large white cat with a fierce eating manner. Judging by its gluttonous aura, it probably doesn't like other cats disturbing its meal.

[Go over and eat together]

[Observe for a while]

Lin Fan complained: “Is there even a need to think about it? Of course, I’ll go over and eat together! This is just like military training. If you're not quick after the training ends, you won't get any food in the cafeteria!”

He remembered the scene of his military training when he first entered university. As soon as the training ended, the cafeteria was packed with people, a dense crowd of green uniforms.

If I go over now, at worst, I'll get slapped and lose some health. Anyway, with the girl watching, she definitely won't let the cats fight.

The lost health will automatically recover a bit each turn.

‘As you approached, the big white cat snarled at you, startling you.

The girl smiled at you and scattered some more cat food in another spot, gently saying: ‘Don't fight, come and eat here.’

You enthusiastically ate the cat food. Although the taste was average, it filled your stomach. (Fullness +30)

After the girl finished scattering the cat food in the bag, she got up and left: ‘See you next time.’

After the girl left, you and the other stray cats finished the remaining cat food and scattered in different directions.’

Lin Fan pondered: “See you next time, does that mean the girl will come again? Maybe it refreshes every turn, doesn't that mean a fixed food source?

In that case, this park is really a good place. Maybe I can stay here for a long time.”

Continue exploring the park.

The scene changed. This time it seemed to be on a remote hillside. Xiao Hei encountered several packs of stray dogs.

And when the stray dogs saw Xiao Hei, their eyes flashed with ferocity, and drool dripped from their mouths.

“Holy crap!”

Lin Fan's eyes widened. What does this mean? Do they want to eat me?

‘You encountered several stray dogs. Judging by their malicious gazes, they seem to be craving your body.

‘Woof! Woof! Woof!’ One of them suddenly barked. They stuck out their bright red tongues, revealing sharp fangs, and rushed towards you like tigers descending from the mountains!’

Options appeared:

[Climb a tree]

[Lie on the ground and play dead]

[Escape down the hillside]

The options quickly turned gray. Lin Fan immediately concentrated after seeing the stray dogs. When the options appeared, after a brief scan, he chose the first option almost by instinct before the options turned gray!

After choosing, he gasped for breath!

‘You were greatly frightened and unleashed unprecedented strength. Before the stray dogs could rush over, your claws gripped the bark, and you quickly darted up the tree.

The stray dogs barked unwillingly at the base of the tree. After a long time, feeling that there was no way to get you, they finally dispersed dejectedly.

You escaped a disaster.’

Lin Fan touched his chest with lingering fear. He could feel his heart still beating rapidly like a rabbit.

That really scared him to death just now.

“Luckily I chose the first option. If I lay on the ground and played dead, I would definitely be bitten to death, right? Running down the hillside probably wouldn't work either, I'd be caught up soon.”
