Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 725 Ear Cleaning Solution

Yu Shijiu started to slack off after leaving the "Sheep Sacrifice" game instance.

This "retirement" doesn't mean never entering game instances again, but rather living a life where one has food and drink all day long and never leaves the house except to go out to Ange and her friends' place for free meals and drinks.

He Lingling, who is still in the recovery period, joked that this is not "slacking off", but just another form of "parasite".

Yu Shijiu said that if he were to be resurrected, he would seriously consider whether he wanted to be a couch potato, lying at home and not moving at all.

As for Xu Han's subsequent remarks about "money" and "house," Yu Shijiu simply pretended not to hear them.

He had already discussed it with Xiao Li—after safely resurrecting in the Dawn game, the extra points players had could be exchanged for real-world currency at a 1:5 ratio.

Yu Shijiu kept this thought to herself: "I'll accumulate enough points and then go to a few more dungeons to earn some more money."

He had a premonition that if he revealed this idea, he would be "kindly questioned."

But then again... if he were to be resurrected and Liang Guodong were to die again, shouldn't those properties and houses that originally belonged to his mother be returned to him?

Thinking about this, Yu Shijiu felt a little irritated.

He always found his mother's marriage to Liang Guodong strange, but he was too young at the time, and Liang Guodong was quite handsome; his face did look like the kind of guy young girls would like...

"Meow! Meow!"

Feifei rushed out of the bathroom and ran quickly towards Yu Shijiu, who was sprawled on the sofa, its tail wagging excitedly behind it.

"……Well."

Yu Shijiu felt a heavy cat head suddenly press down on his chest. He groaned and then started rubbing the chubby, fluffy head vigorously.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry? No way, didn't we just finish eating? Chen Ge finally made chicken soup, and you ate a whole pot by yourself, no, a whole cat! Are you growing lately?"

While Yu Shijiu was making wild guesses, the chubby creature lying on his chest angrily scratched at the blanket with its paws.

A sizzling sound rang out, and Yu Shijiu's eyelids twitched.

"STOP STOP!!!"

Yu Shijiu quickly changed the subject: "We can't grab any more blankets! They're so expensive! The points for buying one blanket are enough for us to go out for cake several times!"

Fatty meowed several times in displeasure, but stopped scratching with its paws.

It was just deliberately expressing its displeasure—and besides, the cake was really delicious, meow!

After Feifei stopped, Yu Shijiu carefully examined the marks on the blanket. Hmm, Feifei's scratching was measured; there was no sign of tearing the blanket.

"Good girl!"

The generous patriarch, Yu Shijiu, praised, "Feifei, you are the smartest orange cat I have ever seen!"

"Meow meow!"

Fatty proudly raised its head, its green pupils filled with smugness—it thought Yu Shijiu was absolutely right, and what other cat could be smarter than it?

It's the smartest cat! Yes, the smartest orange tabby!

"Hahaha!"

Yu Shijiu was amused by the smug look in its pupils, and while laughing heartily, he also felt that something was not quite right.

Those chubby eyes... Has the color of your eyes changed again?

This discovery briefly dampened Yu Shijiu's joy. He lowered his head and carefully pinched the chubby cheeks, meticulously observing the other's pupils.

The dark brown eyes are green, and they stand upright when the person is alert or frightened... Yes, they are definitely green at this time.

But why does it turn black when inside the dungeon?

Yu Shijiu was completely baffled.

Could it be that Fatty's eyes can actually change color?

Do cats' eyes change color? Were they like that when they were kittens?

Feeling inexplicably guilty under his constant gaze, Fatty began to struggle violently, trying to escape.

Yu Shijiu subconsciously let go of it and saw Feifei take several steps back, then quickly shake its head and even scratch its ears several times with its paws.

Yu Shijiu's thoughts immediately went astray: "Scratching ears? Fatty, haven't you cleaned your ears in a long time... Oh right, since you came back, you've been just rinsing them off in the bathroom, so your ears must not be clean. Come on, let me clean your ears..."

While the boy jumped off the sofa and busily searched for cotton balls and swabs, Fatty huddled in a corner by the carpet, playing with the carpet fibers with his paws.

Of course, the "playing" here is fake.

As the core of Lu Chusheng's innate skill "resurrection", Feifei's intelligence is actually no worse than any human's, and may even be smarter.

For example, just now Yu Shijiu suddenly stared into its eyes for so long—the fat cat lowered its head, raised its paw pads, and began to lick them frantically.

Will you find a meow?

Will they really find out, meow?

No way, meow? How could you find me so easily, meow?

I don't believe it, I don't believe it, meow!

While Feifei was busy brainwashing herself, Yu Shijiu had already found the things to clean Feifei's ears. He happily took the cotton swabs, cleaning solution, and other items and knelt down next to Feifei.

The boy's knees rested on the soft, comfortable blanket, and he relaxed and slumped down, yawning.

"Come on, come on."

Yu Shijiu patted his thigh, "Let me clean your ears."

Fatty: "..."

Fatty froze as it licked its paws, then slowly lowered its head and pressed its head against Yu Shijiu's thigh.

Yu Shijiu lowered his eyes and stroked its head, gently flipping the cat's ears back to reveal the pink ear canals, and squeezing a few drops of ear cleaning solution inside.

"Meow!"

After the cool, moist ear cleaning solution entered the ear canal, Feifei made several soft, high-pitched chirping sounds.

"It's coming soon."

Yu Shijiu wanted to laugh when he saw its flailing paws, and his pupils narrowed into crescent moons.

"You're still the same as before, Fatty."

Yu Shijiu said with a smile, "I still remember the first time you washed your ears, you wanted everyone to hear you shouting—"

The conversation ended abruptly there.

Yu Shijiu's rubbing of Feifei's ears also froze in place.

"First time...washing...ears..."

When did you wash your ears?

When did he ever clean Fei Fei's ears?

No...no, I didn't wash Feifei, I didn't wash Feifei...

Yu Shijiu felt a sudden pain deep in his brain, as if something had covered his mind. No matter how he tried to recall or peel away that invisible layer of closure, it was no use.

"my memory……"

Yu Shijiu stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at Feifei, who looked up and didn't know what had happened.

The chubby dog, being watched, looked worriedly at its owner who was frozen in place, even forgetting the ear cleaning solution flowing in its ear canal.

"Meow..."
