"Huh?"
This time, Chen Mo was dumbfounded.
What kind of reaction was this?
Before Chen Mo could speak, Luo Xianxue continued, "If I did something wrong or said something wrong, Phantom Sir, you can just tell me directly. Are you not satisfied with me? Did you go find that girl named Jingjing instead?"
Her words were heavy with dejection.
Chen Mo was at a loss. "I haven’t even said anything yet. Why would you think that?"
"Didn’t you say I’m stupid and have too big breasts?" Luo Xianxue fired a deadly question. She remembered clearly—Chen Mo had called her big-breasted and brainless.
Didn’t that mean he disliked her large chest and her being slow?
Chen Mo was momentarily speechless. How could he answer this? Tomorrow, he truly planned to simulate another life. He hadn’t expected that in just one week, Luo Xianxue had developed a trace of dependence on him.
But it made sense. After being alone for over a decade, socially anxious and bad at communication, she’d suddenly found someone to confide in—someone who solved her problems.
Given Luo Xianxue’s personality, a hint of dependence was normal.
Chen Mo chose his words carefully. "Only tomorrow. I’m upgrading my version."
"Phantom Sir is lying!" Luo Xianxue barely listened.
"I’m not," Chen Mo insisted.
Luo Xianxue countered, "I remember the psychology book you read. If someone hesitates briefly before answering, they’re lying!"
"I..." Chen Mo had skimmed psychology books when he first possessed her, but he’d forgotten the details. Luo Xianxue, inside her own body, had memorized them.
And honestly, could conclusions that simple be trusted? Wasn’t that book probably a bootleg?
Chen Mo sighed and told the truth. "For a certain reason, tomorrow I’ll possess someone else. You know I can only stay a few hours—five before, now six. And I can’t leave early on my own."
Yes, once he possessed Luo Xianxue, Chen Mo had to wait for the time to end unless she kicked him out.
Hearing this reasonable explanation, Luo Xianxue stopped pressing.
She gave a soft "Mm," and her system status shifted to dejected.
Chen Mo comforted her. "Don’t worry. Just one day tomorrow..."
"Okay then," Luo Xianxue replied. Then she realized—she’d regained control of her body.
Chen Mo had already left.
Soon, Mossy Fir entered, avoiding Luo Xianxue’s eyes. "Lady, you called for me?"
"Mm." Luo Xianxue paused. "Mossy Fir, how can I make my chest smaller?"
"Huh?" Mossy Fir was completely confused. Was this the gentle version of the Lady?
She thought hard, then shook her head. "I’ve heard of muscle atrophy, but for breasts... theoretically, it’s impossible, right?"
She even shot an envious glance—her own modest B-cup paled next to Luo Xianxue’s near C+.
Next, Luo Xianxue fell into deep thought. She looked up. "Then how can I make others like my body more?"
"Huh???"
Wait, Lady—don’t ask me! I want to live longer! I don’t need to know this much!
Meanwhile, Chen Mo had returned to his hospital room. Luo Xianxue was stable for now. He felt excited about the new simulated life.
The thrill of the unknown, better system rewards after completion, and inheriting talents to learn—it all benefited him.
"System," Chen Mo asked, "even if it’s random, can I choose a direction for the simulation?"
【No】
"Tch." Pure randomness. Hopefully another pretty girl.
With that thought, Chen Mo settled back into his body.
The next day, he waited until evening to start the new simulation.
Whether students or office workers, days were busier. Without the host’s memories, and with direct mental communication possible, he worried about being kicked out immediately. The system’s randomness didn’t guarantee high starting affinity.
Luo Xianxue’s personality and background were clearly beginner’s luck.
At 6 PM, confirming his six hours would end at midnight, Chen Mo addressed the system.
"System, I choose a new random life!"
【New life simulation has begun. Host, confirm current information and complete the task】
Consciousness sank. Before Chen Mo opened his eyes, a metallic scent of blood filled his nose.
Then, endless pain surged through his body. Weakness overwhelmed him, like lying in a hospital bed.
It hurt—badly. Even lifting his right hand was a struggle.
What was this?
An injury right from the start?
"Meow~"
A weak, kitten-like cry reached his ears.
Gritting his teeth, Chen Mo turned his head.
A snow-white kitten watched him, pink tongue licking his face.
In that instant, Chen Mo felt the wet touch clearly.
To him, the white kitten looked huge. The surroundings seemed magnified many times over.
Was this the simulation world’s issue?
No—his issue!
Chen Mo stared at his outstretched hand. It was a gray, bloodstained little paw.
I’ve been simulated as a cat?
Wait, System—does "simulating a life" include non-humans?
"Hiss-meow!"
Before Chen Mo could question the system, a hoarse cry echoed in his mind. Weak but full of hostility.
Or rather, he sensed it more than heard it.
As a cat, Chen Mo now had feline instincts—movement, thought patterns, and a language of meows expressing complex meanings.
Quickly, he checked the system panel.
【Current Life: Gray Kitten】
【Main Task: Reach 80+ affinity with Gray Kitten】
【Current Task: Survive alongside the white kitten】
【Current Affinity: 42 (Hostile)】
【Current Status: Terrified, Weak, Critical】
