The Cat's Inheritance

Motorcycle climbing is not tiring at all.This is Ali's first impression after turning over and getting out of the car.Once you get over your fear of booms and winds, riding a motorcycle can be fun.

The soybean in Ah Li's arms was already dizzy. After getting off the ground, she wobbled forward, walking in a standard catwalk, and finally reached the gate of the research institute. I can't get up.The top of his head was facing the sign of the research institute, and there were a few big bold letters: Special Economic Zone Research Institute.There are also several plaques, presumably different qualification certificates.

The style of the whole institute is slightly different from that imagined by Hardworking.The research institute is not big, and the building is square. It looks like the architectural style of the last century. The walls are covered with creepers, and even the gaps are covered with moss.The gate is iron and connects the outer wall.Unlike ordinary government buildings, the fence will be covered with anti-theft glass or barbed wire.The only thing that is different is probably——

All cats.

On the wall and at the gate, all the people standing, lying down, and lying down were cats.Different sizes, different coat colors, different breeds, cats.

When these cats saw a stranger, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they stared at him generously, as if they were watching a novel thing, their eyes were all sparkling.

It was the first time in his life that Xin Qin stood at the gate and received the attention of dozens of cats.

——Is this the human being of Bing Ge?

—It smells good.

—Is he here after dinner?

——Oh, are there any guests tonight?

—So what shall we have for dinner?

——Uncle Wang brought back a lot of mice!

—So we eat rats at night?

——Oh, invite the guests to eat mice!

— eat rats!eat rats!

Qin Qin didn't know that his dinner had been ordered amidst the meowing and meowing.Fortunately, he didn't plan to stay for dinner, and waved at Ali, intending to say goodbye.At this time, a tall figure walked out from the reception room.Xin Qin glanced at him, felt familiar, recalled it carefully, and asked, "Is it Master Wang?" Several years ago, he asked Master Wang to drive away the rats at home, and after a few years, he never saw the rat again. .Unexpectedly, after so many years, Master Wang has not changed much, and he can be recognized at a glance.

The person who came was indeed Master Wang, who obviously recognized Hardin, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, are there still rats at home?"

Hardworking smiled and shook his head.

"That's good, that's good. Let me just say, if there is a cat smell in the house that has raised cats, there will be no mice." Master Wang smiled honestly, and chatted with Xin Qin for a few more words, and then he said to A Li Said, "Ali, your teacher is looking for you, please don't be playful." After he finished speaking, he walked back.

"Oh—" Ah Li reluctantly agreed.He was really out playing today, and he hasn't done his work yet.Thinking of this, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Miwu reluctantly.

"Then I'll see you again in a few days."

Hardworking also smiled and waved.

—Would you like to kiss me?

— What is a kiss?

——Do you mean to take a bite?

——Can you read more books, a kiss is the meaning of love between human beings.

- Oh oh, just rub it

— rub it, rub it!

——I said it was a kiss

- Oh oh give me a kiss!

Ali turned her head and yelled at the wall: "It's so noisy! Shut up!"

——Bake Brother is angry!

- Get angry, get angry!

The cats swarmed away.

Xin Qin looked interestingly, and suddenly felt warm on his feet. He lowered his head and saw a kitten lying on his shoe with its limbs spread out.

The cat looked no more than two or three months old, with a semicircular raccoon head, and the fur all over its body was blown out, and it looked like a small ball of fur.Seeing Qin Qin looking down at himself, the kitten slowly stretched its body, stretched its waist, then raised its head, staring at him with wide eyes, radiant.

——Yo, human, do you think I'm cute?I can take over your oh.

"Wang Youyu, go away!" A Li rushed over angrily, and picked up the kitten, "Before the hair grows, you start talking nonsense. I'll let your brother beat you." After finishing speaking, he quickly Glancing at Qin Qin, he blushed suddenly, turned around and dragged his backpack, walked into the institute without looking back, and disappeared soon after.

It seemed that in an instant, there were only hard work and... soybeans left at the gate of the institute.The soy cat also lay on the ground for a while, then slowly stood up, squeezed its chubby body through the gap in the iron gate, and walked away slowly.

Empty——

Xin Qin suddenly felt that he was like the male protagonist in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, inadvertently breaking through some kind of goblin's tricks.

But, is there really such a thing as a cat demon?

In the perception of hard work, cats have always been lazy and elegant animals. They work tirelessly to cultivate immortals and overcome calamities. It seems that they do not conform to their life values ​​at all.

He took a deep breath, swept out all the strange thoughts in his mind, got up and went home.

Ali found Teacher Wang in the underground laboratory.He was wearing a white coat, and was sitting in front of the computer, staring blankly at the unknown data lines all over the screen.In fact, in the laboratory, it is not necessary to use a white coat, but Teacher Wang thinks that this kind of dress is more in line with the appearance of a researcher in his mind, and he insists on wearing it as long as he is in the laboratory.

Ali greeted Teacher Wang and asked curiously, "Teacher, what are you looking at?"

Teacher Wang frowned, continued to stare at the screen with his chin resting, sighed, and said distressedly: "Stocks."

"Is that the thing that can make money without working for no reason?"

"Yes." Teacher Wang sighed again, and then looked at Ali slowly, "It seems that I can't get rich overnight."

Ah Li unconsciously became distressed, "It's really hard to make money."

The two of them were holding an enamel cup, sitting opposite each other, drinking hot water and sighing.

The SAR Research Institute, including the SAR University, and the construction system of all cat education were originally built on the wealth of SAR Wang.And these wealth are the property of Wang Kong, the original owner of Wang Special Zone and Wang Economy.Wang Kong's family was the first batch of Lao Qian family to emigrate during the founding of the People's Republic of China. They were also the first batch of capitalists to move their assets back to China in response to the call for reform and opening up. They accumulated a considerable amount of wealth by means of overt and covert means. , and successfully escaped the attention of the country.Later, due to family changes, only Wang Kong inherited the family property.On the surface, Wang Kong is a private entrepreneur, but in fact, he is a hidden private scientist, extremely talented, and has a fanatical research enthusiasm for incredible events beyond the existing scientific dimension.

Wang Kong used his family assets to build a huge laboratory underground at the bottom of Wutai Mountain, and carried out various incredible experiments in it.These include the use of dna cloning technology to rewrite the cat's gene with human genes and transform it.This technology can turn a cat into a human, and Wang Kong named this cat that successfully turned into a human as Catman.Catman's genes will combine the characteristics of cats and humans, but in essence, he has become a human being.

This technology is not fully mature, and Wang Kong is no longer able to rely on his own strength to conduct in-depth research after he gets old.After Wang Kong passed away, he handed over all his belongings to the two cats.The Wang Special Zone inherits the mantle, continues Wang Kong's experiments, and manages his cat education.

Disadvantages of retrofit technology include high risk, low conversion rate, and huge cost.The transformation has only a 1% theoretical chance of success, which is almost a small probability event.Only the right genes and the right timing can make a successful case.Therefore, before conducting experiments, various matching tests must be carefully done to improve the success rate.Wang Kong has tried his best to simplify this process, but there are still unavoidable procedures that need to be strictly checked.After the human carcass is formed, it needs to stay in the special culture medium in the laboratory to complete the final adaptation process.This requires a long process.

At the same time, not all cats can accept the fact that they can become humans.In fact, when faced with this choice, most cats will choose to say no.Becoming a human is not a fun thing. Becoming a human means that you also need to take on the responsibilities of a human being, learn the rules of human beings, live in the circle of human beings, and make your own contribution to the cat population.This process is not just a few short years, but decades, or even centuries.Because of this, when screening the test subjects, the cat's personality and philosophy are also taken into consideration.Only those cats who are expected to do great things will pass the test and become a new generation of cat people.

All of these factors have contributed to the fact that very few experiments with modification have been carried out, and even fewer have been successful.

Of course, the more important reason is: no money.

Due to technical limitations, so far, there are only more than 1000 cats that have been successfully transformed into humans in the country, including Wang Special Zone, Wang Jingji and Ali.Most cat people live in different places, between the normal you and me.After the experiment was successful, these cat people still retain the memory of the cat period, and at the same time possess human body functions.For unknown reasons, the successful experimental subjects were brand new human individuals, but they would all only become 21-year-old humans in the end.Then their aging rhythm will be the same as that of normal humans, and they can marry, reproduce, and die.

These cat people work together to maintain the operation and balance of the cat association and cat education system-including making money together.

But making money is really difficult.This is especially true for cats who have always been lazy and relaxed.

Fortunately, the cats who have become humans are still relatively intelligent. After having their own human social identity, they usually choose to accept re-education in the human world.There are many cat people who have made small achievements in their own fields and become the pillars of the human world.They are thus better able to provide support for their own population.The Cat Association Foundation was thus established.It is precisely because of the dedication of these outstanding cat people that the biggest secret of the cat world can survive and continue.

However, among these cat people who will make money, the association's founding Comrade Elvis Presley District is obviously not included.Under the training of the former owner, Wang SAR has become a cat person who hates work and only spends but does not make money.For this, Wang SAR also felt guilty.After all, he is the titular founding cat of cat education, the greatest cat leader of this century, isn't he?Therefore, Special Zone Wang began to constantly try the means of making money overnight in the human world, including stock trading, buying a house, and reselling garlic and banlangen, but none of them succeeded.

On the contrary, Wang Jiji, who has no research talent and no pressure, accidentally bought a lottery ticket ten years ago and won the first prize.This bonus has become the source of the current daily expenses of the Special Economic Zone Research Institute, and has also become the funding basis for the completion of the pear transformation experiment.

"Why don't you ask Uncle Wang to buy a lottery ticket again." A Li suggested.

Teacher Wang pouted, "It's called luck, you know? Luck is something that won't come again after it comes once. It's unreliable." After that, he patted the back of A Li's head hard, "It's been a whole day Think about getting something for nothing.”

Ah Li groaned, touched her head, puffed her cheeks, and muttered in a low voice: "You get something for nothing, but fortunately you don't care about money, otherwise we would have been unable to eat for a long time."

Teacher Wang raised his eyebrows, raised his voice, and said, "What are you muttering about? Are you such an unreliable person? I tell you, I have already mastered the basic skills of making money. What I lack now is the foundation of practice. Practice, understand Don’t understand? All scientific truths come from practice.”

Ah Li didn't understand. He only knew that Uncle Wang once said that Mr. Wang has practiced the road of getting rich overnight for more than 20 years, and he has never succeeded.Of course, he dared not say such words that would smash the back of his head.

Teacher Wang was angry for a while, then suddenly remembered, and asked Ali: "By the way, can your humans make money?"

A Li shook her head sincerely, "No, he didn't have a job before, and he was at home every day, and he couldn't even afford meat, but it's pitiful, I caught mice and fed him."

Teacher Wang sighed, alas, there is no hope. "Anyway, hurry up, find a chance to move out to live with your humans, and save us some food expenses. Several new cats have arrived this month, and one of them has a spine problem. We need to save some medical expenses."

"Okay." Ali also sighed, "You won't let me tell Miwu my identity, how can I move out to live with him. He doesn't know me, it's strange, okay?"

Teacher Wang glared at him, "The solution is dead, but you are alive. There are always more solutions than difficulties. This is the same as solving a problem. But no matter what, don't expose us, do you understand?" Understand. Be careful that you are caught and skinned by strange humans for experiments, and your humans will also be hung up and beaten."

In fact, the plots of skinning and hanging up and abuse are all Mr. Wang saw from human TV dramas.His humans never told him what would happen after humans discovered the secret of their cats, and Mr. Wang only had a vague idea.All in all, the principle is that cat people can only be pretenders in the human world. No matter when or where, they cannot expose themselves, thus causing the entire population to fall into trouble.

A Li was so frightened that her hair exploded, she nodded quickly, "I won't say it, if I don't say it, they won't hang Miwu up, right?"

Teacher Wang nodded with satisfaction.No matter how the student is, he is still very capable in the plan to improve the education system for stray cats.Thinking of this, Teacher Wang touched the back of Ali's head in relief, and began to ask him how his day was, was it fun.

"It's fun, my humans can make particularly delicious chicken breasts." Of course, the chicken breasts are not actually made by Hardworking himself, but from Ali's point of view, as long as it is something Miwu brings to him, it is Miwu self-made.He used to understand the cans that Miwu opened in the same way.

Hearing this, Teacher Wang pondered for a moment, and asked Ali: "You eat human food, have you paid for it?"

Ali's eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat.

It's over, I forgot to pay!

Ali is still very ashamed that she didn't pay.After all, cat people like Mr. Wang who dream of getting rich overnight and getting something for nothing all day long also insist on the idea that as long as they eat human food, they must pay for it.Miwu must have thought that I was the kind of rascal who didn’t pay for meals.The first day I met Miwu, I didn't make a good impression on him.

Ali sighed heavily.

------

After returning from Wutai Mountain, Qin Qin didn't go home directly.He went back to the store, and took stock with Ling Ting to clear the accounts.Ling Ting told him solemnly, "Ah Li didn't pay for it, besides the chicken breast he ate himself, he also had [-] packs of sautéed chicken breast that he didn't pay for."

Xin Qin was stunned for a moment, then said: "You can ask everyone later, if there is any one you want to take back for supper, if not, go taste it and feed it to the cat. His account will be cancelled."

Ling Ting smiled meaningfully.

Because she went out to play during the day, Ali stayed in the laboratory at night to sort out the data, a little later than usual.Just when he finished his task and was about to go to sleep, Ali received a message from Ling.Ling added him as a friend on the bus and sent him many pictures of Sparta.A narcissist like Ah Li will not let go of such a good opportunity to recall the past.

——Do you remember that little gangster during the day?

Ali is not very good at understanding human language, so she has to rely on the cat voice translation software in her mobile phone to understand.What is a punk?Ah Li searched the Internet again, and found out that a punk is a villain in the human world, a synonym for young and Dangerous.Ali suddenly felt that she had mastered some new knowledge.

In the world of cats, there is no vocabulary for cursing cats. The most serious quarrels use words that insult eggs and mice, such as bad guy, idiot, big fool, stinky mouse, etc., generally polite or Unfamiliar cats will not use it rashly.However, after entering the human world, Ali suffered an unprecedented impact. He found that his previous study of human language was still too shallow, and the human language vocabulary of cursing was enough for him to learn for a year.Not to mention that these words can also be split and reorganized to become new words. With the promotion and penetration of Internet slang, the speed of this kind of vocabulary transformation is simply astonishing and amazing.

With the help of the translation system, Ali replied slowly: I remember.In order to make her answer look cute, Ali also carefully selected an emoji, which was an emoji pack from his fluffy days, which he collected with great difficulty.

——Ah ah ah ah ah ah your emoji is so cute, send it to me, begging for an emoji pack!

The two shared a lot of emoticons back and forth, but in the end, it was Ah Li who remembered the business.

——What were you trying to tell me just now?

——Oh, oh, if you don’t tell me, I almost forgot.It's that little bastard. After you left, he came again.Claiming to bring their buddies and brothers to smash the scene again.Can be arrogant.I think he is just a coward, and he must be bluffing.

—What does he want to do?

——It’s just bringing people to make trouble, it’s so annoying, like flies.Let me tell you, I shared your heroic appearance with my friends today, and they all praised you for being handsome!

Ah Li narrowed her eyes happily, and wanted to shake her tail, but suddenly realized that she had no tail now, so she had to shake her head.

——Well, no matter what, I hope he won't come. This won't delay our boss's business.

Hearing that Miwu would be disturbed, Ah Li became nervous for a moment and quickly replied.

——Why is this person so annoying?Is there any way to help hard work?

Hey, I'm not used to the human name Miwu, it's not intimate at all.

——I don’t know, but I think it should be fine.That little gangster is probably a small person who pretends to be a tiger, and he can't make a big wave.It's okay, just ignore it.If he really brings someone, we'll call the police.I still can't believe that such a small earthworm can still make trouble in such a well-known place as Maochun.

After searching for the fox's fake tiger's prestige, Ah Li secretly marveled, it turned out that the fox and the tiger were friends.However, he was also worried about Miwu.It sounds like that rude human would be a nuisance.

How can I help Miwoo?

Early the next morning, when the cats of the Special Economic Zone Research Institute gathered for breakfast, they found a recruitment letter on the wall next to the food bowl.The recruitment letter was written in cat language, and some literate cats read it aloud.

——There is no gang in Wutai Mountain!Now recruit gang members, if they can fight, they are handsome enough, and their rewards are canned!Employment is guaranteed and there is a lot of room for improvement.First come first served.Those who are interested are looking for cake brother.
