Chapter 1 The Cat Returns a Favor
Time: Autumn 2024.

Location: Earth, Songshan Town, Luoyuan County, FJ Province.

Li Zhen was an ordinary young man in Songshan Town. One day, he was walking by the river and saw a drowning tabby cat. Without saying a word, he picked up a dead tree trunk and rescued the cat.

"Why are you so careless?"

Li Zhen said something to the tabby cat. He wanted to catch it, but the tabby cat ran away.

"What a heartless guy." Li Zhen muttered as he looked at the tabby cat that ran into the bushes, then turned around and left without paying any attention.

When Li Zhen walked away, he did not notice that the tabby cat that had just disappeared in the grass poked its head out and looked at his back.

It was from this day that the man and the cat began to form a bond.

The next day, Li Zhen went out to work as usual. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a dead mouse at the door.

"Where did this dead rat come from?" Li Zhen kicked it away without thinking much.

In a shadowy corner, the tabby cat watched this scene.

Next, for five consecutive days, there was a dead rat at the door of Li Zhen's house.

"Thank you, please don't send me dead mice. I really don't want to eat them."

Li Zhen looked towards a shadowy corner and shouted to the tabby cat.

There were dead mice at the door for several days in a row, and he knew something was wrong. After observing carefully, he found the tabby cat hiding in the dark.

Interesting tabby cat, knows how to repay a favor.

You still have a conscience.

Although Li Zhen doesn't eat dead mice, the behavior of the tabby cat made him feel happy.

It was worth it that he saved the other person's life.

Just when Li Zhen thought that the tabby cat would continue to deliver dead mice, on the sixth day, he opened the door and found that there was no longer a dead mouse at the door, but a green glass ball.

Li Zhen glanced towards the corner and saw the tabby cat looking at him.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it."

Li Zhen picked up the glass ball on the ground, shook it in his hand, and then put it in his pocket.

He felt that by accepting the things from the tabby cat, he had repaid the cat's kindness, and the cat should stop such stupid behavior in the future.

Unfortunately, he soon discovered that he was wrong.

From that day on, the tabby cat never brought him dead mice again, but began to bring him all kinds of strange items.

Human items.

They are colorful stones, glass or metals that sparkle in the sun.

I guess the tabby cat finally realized that Li Zhen would not eat dead mice, so it changed the way of repaying his kindness.

Li Zhen also felt a little amused and helpless about the behavior of the tabby cat.

"I never thought that one day I would be rewarded by a cat. I am so rich."

He arranged the colorful things given by the tabby cat one by one, took a photo, and posted it on his Moments.

There is also a photo of a tabby cat on it.

"What a cute tabby cat." This was the reply from a certain girl.

"Be careful, one day it turns into a beautiful woman and depends on you." This is a teasing remark from a friend.

Li Zhen occasionally replies to his friends' messages, smiling in his heart. This kind of interesting thing is also a spice in his life, which is quite fun.

Li Zhen originally treated the cat's gratitude as a joke.

He never expected that things would suddenly take a turn that he could not expect.

This change will alter his life now and in the future, and will bring about earth-shaking changes in his life from now on.

The incident happened on the fifteenth day after the cat returned the favor.

Although the tabby cat was still a little wary of Li Zhen, Li Zhen had already given it a name - Mimi. He treated it as his own cat from the bottom of his heart, and if possible, he would like to pet it occasionally in the future.

And that morning, when Li Zhen opened the door, he saw another gift that Mimi had given him - a purple diamond-shaped crystal.

"Hey, why is it still glowing?" Li Zhen discovered that the purple diamond-shaped crystal seemed to emit a layer of hazy purple light under the sunlight.

He took the crystal in his hand curiously.

Suddenly, a current rushed into Li Zhen's body from the crystal. Although the current was not strong, it still made Li Zhen's whole body shudder, and he almost threw the crystal away.

[Intelligent life detected]

A voice suddenly popped up in Li Zhen's brain, which scared him a lot.

Before he could react, his brain instantly received more information.

This time the information was transmitted directly into Li Zhen's brain. There was no language, but he understood all the meanings instantly.

Li Zhen also understood what this diamond-shaped crystal was—the heart of the mechanical concept.

It is a gemstone with powerful energy.

The function of the gem is to give Li Zhen the ability to copy machines.

The conceptual power of replication machinery.

However, this conceptual heart is not like the system in traditional novels. As long as you obtain it, you can unconditionally make the other party recognize you as your master.

Its recognition of its master is conditional.

It needs to complete the other party's assessment task and obtain its recognition before it will actively recognize its master.

You can choose to accept or reject.

[Respect any intelligent life, every intelligent life has the right to choose]

This is a thought conveyed by the conceptual mind.

It won't force you to perform tasks, otherwise it will be wiped out or something like that.

This is quite friendly.

Just as the idea it conveys, it respects every intelligent life, and the choice is in Li Zhen's own hands.

What surprised Li Zhen even more was that he had a "gaming destiny".

Simply put, the first mission is a soul-traveling mission, so even if you die, you will not really die.

If the soul goes again for the second time after death, then the real body must go, and then the death will be real death.

This mechanical concept heart is really friendly.

Since this first time, even if I die, I won't really die, so why hesitate? "Go!"

Li Zhen was lying on the bed, his consciousness suddenly becoming hazy.
