The last orange cat Omega [Interstellar]

Doudou was nimble, jumped in, stretched out his claws nimbly, grabbed a Gala by the neck, and pulled a bunch of colorful tail feathers from the back of its buttocks.

The Gala bird flew in all directions, and its miserable cry resounded across the sky in an instant.

Ga-ga-la-

The flying speed of the Gala bird is extremely fast, and the hunting speed of the kitten is not slow. Fortunately, Dou Dou is only interested in the feathers on their buttocks.

The two poor staff members breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.

One of them said anxiously: "Actually, distinguished guests don't need to be so anxious. All the materials we see on the island are for sale. If you like, you can go to the store to buy well-packed Gala bird tail feathers. There are different appearances and different prices." available for selection.”

The feathers of the Gala bird are precious, and the number is rare, mainly because it is difficult to get a complete set.

There are usually two forms of gala bird moulting, one is to tear through fighting, and the other is to molt on its own.Similar to many birds in the ancient earth period, the gala bird mainly competes with its kind by displaying a colorful appearance, and wins the beauty.In order to maximize their own advantages and adjust their physical appearance to the best condition, most gala birds will forcibly tear off their flight feathers and tail feathers before the breeding season, so as to re-grow more beautiful new feathers.

The quality of the above two kinds of falling feathers picked by hand is uneven, and it is difficult to make handicrafts. Therefore, it is necessary to collect a large number of bird feathers before picking the required parts, which indirectly increases the material cost of the finished product.

After listening to Doudou, he nodded, stuffed the loot in his hand into the hands of the staff member, and said: "Then you help me wrap it up, I only need this little bit, I... just treat it as me, and I will pay for it." I'll give you a lot of star coins."

The staff had no choice but to agree.

DouDou then turned to Hailou, proudly showing off: "The feathers I picked are absolutely beautiful. But this is not a gift for you. I want you to turn them into toys and then give them to me."

"Toys?" Hailou was puzzled.

"Yes."

Doudou waved his paw excitedly, wanting to describe the cat teaser on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge in this way, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he was at a loss for words.Speaking of it, he only heard other cats say that the thing is very fun, but he has never played with his paws himself, and he doesn't know anything about its structure.

Thinking of this, Doudou lowered his head and said sullenly, "Forget it, the feathers alone are actually quite fun."

Hailou reached out and stroked the back of his head soothingly.

Fortunately, the little cat's mood came and went faster, and his depression lasted less than a minute, and he was soon distracted by the staff's next introduction.

"Since distinguished guests like to collect materials in person so much, the venue we are going to visit next will definitely meet your wishes."

Cockscomb Beast changed its sad expression, regrouped, and introduced the next project on the island with great enthusiasm.

The Pupu Beast is another specialty of Holmz Floating Island.The so-called Pupu Beast is an edible orc domesticated animal.Pupumon is only the size of a puppy, with a pair of slender, hairless bare legs, but likes to stand on one leg.Because their heads and necks are severely degenerated, they are almost integrated with the torso, and they are covered with soft and slender gray-white hair. From a distance, they look like balls of balls of fluffy balls stuck together. on a pole.

Pupu beasts are also pack animals.They live on a large piece of green grass, floating in groups like sheep in the ancient earth period, outlining floating white clouds in the green grass, leisurely rummaging for fresh grass seeds, juicy Young leaves, and hand-fed feed cubes.

When Doudou saw the Pupu Beast, his eyes lit up immediately, and he shouted, "Lots of lollipops! Long-haired lollipops!"

The cockscomb beast who was being introduced happily smiled, and found that he couldn't catch the words of this well-informed guest, so he had to pretend to be nonchalant, and said to himself: "The meat quality of the Pupu beast Generally, they are usually processed into ready-to-eat meat products or raw materials. But they also have another treasure, that is the hair on their bodies."

The fur of the Pupu beast is thick and soft, and has excellent thermal insulation function, which can be used as raw materials for various textiles.Most importantly, their hair is very easy to access.

"Every once in a while, there will be a hair shedding period for the puff beasts. During this period, most of the hair follicles of the puff beasts enter the cultivation period. With a little external force, they can easily shed their floating hair, and even , you only need to blow hard on them, and the hairs will be lifted by the wind, and finally enter our hair collector in the air."

After listening to DouDou, he was even more excited, and shouted again: "Dandelion! A moving dandelion!"

Pupu beast is gentle and kind by nature, and its behavior is a little dull. Even if its body is pinched and rubbed, it can still continue to eat with a big heart, so it is very suitable as an interactive "prop".

DouDou and his team were introduced to a certain grazing meadow, where they could have close contact with the Puff Beast, and even help the Puff Beast in the shedding period to remove its hair by themselves.

When referring to safety tips and precautions, the staff subconsciously introduced them based on past experience, and gently warned the several Omegas present: "Please don't be afraid, distinguished guests, these pupu beasts are all carefully selected. They have a wealth of experience interacting with strangers, and under normal force, they don't even respond, and they don't pose any danger."

However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw Dou Dou pinching the nearby Pupu beast, forcibly hanging it upside down by its two legs, shaking it like a drumstick, and then Aiming at the fur of the Pupu Beast, puffed out its chest and let out a breath.

poof-poof-

After two breaths, the white fluff flew like catkins.Then look at the Pupu beast in Doudou's hand, which has lost a lot of weight, leaving only the innermost short layer of fluff, which looks pitiful and ridiculous.

Go around and let go of that hapless Pupu beast.Pupu Beast stood up with fluttering legs, walked slowly for two steps, and only then belatedly realized the danger it had encountered just now.So it widened its eyes in horror, trotted slowly, and returned to its own group, like a blown dandelion, strikingly inserted into a group of fluffy.

Doudou used the same ruthless method to "harm" the other Pupu beasts, and a dozen or so bald beasts came out in a row, so he lost interest and stopped.

Peter and Hailing cast admiring glances at DouDou.Under the escort of Hannah, the two of them only dared to touch one or two buttocks of the poofs secretly, and took off a handful of hairs as souvenirs.

In the end, Doudou heroically bought the fruits of his labor with Hailou's star coins.That big pile of Puff Puff animal hair was gathered in a pile, fluffy like a cloud, and finally compressed, it became the size of a handful, very heavy and heavy.

Doudou didn't have any special thoughts about this ball of fur at first, he just thought it would be good to move them home and ask the housekeeper to rub them into fur balls, and it would be good to use them as toys.At this time, Hailou asked Doudou to give him the fur of the Pupu beast and the feathers of the Gala bird.

"After a few days, I'll have someone bring it back to you." Hailou promised.

Puzzled, Doudou tilted his head and looked at Hailou, wondering why his human beings liked these kitten toys.However, Doudou's playfulness has long been satisfied in sports, and Hailou bought these things with gold coins. He handed over the spoils and generously gave them to humans.

After visiting the two major specialties on the floating island, the next itinerary is much more relaxed.Accompanied by Hailou, Doudou can move freely and easily.On the island, he also saw many wonderful creatures.

For example, the bobo beast that often appears on the dining table of Reese's family is actually a beast with a body shape similar to a wild boar, but it has three tails and six legs. It is really self-sacrificing.Bobomon's leg meat is especially delicious, and it is a rare commercial meat.The soft red hair of the bobo beast can be used to make rough cloth at a low price, and it is the first choice of the orcs who live in poverty.

And another kind of beast that lives in water is called chirping beast, which makes a chirping sound like a bird's chirping.Its body shape is similar to that of a horse, except that it has a long ox tail.The fur of Jiujiu beast is extremely valuable. The thick hair has gorgeous patterns, which can be waterproof and warm, and can also be used as weaving.

Doudou lay on the edge of the fence of the Bobo Beast Ranch, staring straight at it, swallowing saliva continuously.Hailou was amused, and invited him to sit in the chug ball beside him.

The Judgment Ball is a huge transparent action ball that provides tables and chairs for tourists to rest. After being activated, it can also roll around in a certain range and be used as a sightseeing car.

The scenery outside the Chutu ball kept changing, Doudou pricked up his ears, and observed for a while, and was soon captivated by the dim sum fruit that Hailou conjured up from nowhere.

"Oh my god, you are too capable." DouDou gave a thumbs up and praised his humans loudly.

"Thank you."

Hailou spread out the snack box and fruit plate, dug his head into it, and gnawed without lifting his head.Hailou watched intently from the side, passing him a small plate or wiping the corners of his mouth from time to time.

After DouDou ate his stomach and was satisfied, Hai Lou said without haste, "Before leaving, Mr. Xiu Jie chatted with me and said that you are not willing to study and work hard recently?"

DouDou froze in place when he wanted to lick his paws, and his heart skipped a beat. The secret passage was over and he was sued.

He raised his eyelids and took a sneak peek at his human beings, only to see that Hailou's face remained the same, looking at him quietly, unable to show joy or sorrow.

Dou Dou's eyeballs rolled around, wanting to refute loudly with confidence, the kitten shouldn't work hard, and only needs to work occasionally.However, these majestic words poured into his throat, like thousands of troops fighting out of the battlefield, after seeing Hailou's calm black eyes, they died down, and could no longer be arrogant.

For some reason, DouDou always has a vague premonition that what Hailou is going to say next is very important.He didn't want to disappoint Hailou. Kittens are not born to want to make trouble for their humans. Occasionally, they also want to make humans happy and make them look proud and happy.

But what kind of kitten is a kitten that makes human beings proud?

Doudou pondered for a moment, silently excluded the option of catching mice from his mind, and stared at Hailou suspiciously.

Hailou said, "I think you are willing to work."

Huh, is that right?

Doudou frowned, thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "I would like to work once in a while."

Hailou asked, "Why?"

"I met a friend before, a very special friend, he gave me a super cardboard box. My friend told me that work is a kind of power, and it can help people I want to help, so I It actually feels like a pretty good job, and I love being a great little kitty."

"Then why do you want to work occasionally?" Hailou patiently guided Doudou.

Doudou was silent for a moment, and muttered: "Because I feel that working hard is too much like a human being. Human beings will have many troubles, and they must find ways to overcome them, and occasionally create troubles for themselves. It's disgusting, it's not like me anymore."

He is a kitten, and no matter what changes happen to him, he is unwilling to give up his original identity.All previous cognitions and thoughts of Doudou are based on this premise, and all his adventures and energy are carried out as a kitten.If suddenly one day, he is deprived of his status as a kitten and forced to think and live like a real human being, then what is the past going around?

Everyone tells us to be diligent, to work hard, and to become better, so is it true that kittens who don’t want to work hard and don’t want to work hard are not worthy of everyone’s love?Shouldn't one just be a kitten living in this world?

Subconsciously, DouDou wanted to suppress these thoughts, and didn't want to delve into it, and didn't want to understand it too thoroughly, so it seemed even more desolate.

What Doudou said was very vague, but Hailou still understood it roughly.

"Is it because you think that if you study hard and work hard, you are no longer going around?" he asked.

Doudou was taken aback, then nodded.It seemed to be so, but it seemed that there was something else stuck in his mind. With Dou Dou's current thinking ability, he hadn't been able to express it clearly.

Hailou continued: "Actually, I think I can understand you."

DouDou looked at him curiously.

"You should already know that the value of each person is based on his social contribution. Although it is not accurate enough to say this, the existing social class is indeed divided according to the contribution value at the beginning. Orcs with great ability and high contribution value can get With a lot of resources, they have the right to choose high-quality partners to reproduce, so as to develop power, establish family factions, and further occupy more and better resources. In contrast, it is difficult for the rising orcs to get rid of their inherent disadvantages and break through the limitations of their own class.

Is this way of life hard?Naturally, it is hard work. I believe that among the struggling orcs, few people are willing.Everyone at various stages will develop an avoidance mentality that resists struggle to varying degrees.

This is normal.

This sentiment does not indicate someone's laziness, or moral inferiority, or even cowardice.This is just his basic emotion as a human being, and it is the emotional feedback refracted from his observation and reflection on the external world.

When a person's value is associated with external things such as his ability, talent, and own resources, it is difficult for people to get along with each other with absolute equality and sincerity.It is difficult for you to distinguish whether your love for a person is due to his pure individuality or the combination of everything around him.

I think that all who have learned to think have had similar doubts.You think this way, not because you are too willful, but it is a sign that your thinking is becoming mature. "

DouDou sniffed, and said honestly: "Your words are too complicated, I can't understand."

Hailou smiled slightly, rubbed his little head, and said softly: "It's okay, I don't want you to accept my thoughts, and I don't want to force you to change. You just think I'm talking to myself, listen to it as you like. That's all. I know you're a smart..."

"Little cat!" DouDou hastily added for him.

Hailou nodded slightly, and then continued: "You must have your own way of survival, and you can persist in yourself no matter what the situation is. This is a rare and admirable point in you."

Doudou pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly.

"Next, let's change the question. Do you know your... friend, why did you tell you that work is your strength?"

Doudou shook his head.

"On a superficial level, work can empower you to help others, to do what you want to do. But there is another meaning to this sentence: work can give you the power to say no, to keep you from doing Things you don't want to do."

The tongue-twister-like words confused the little cat.DouDou blinked ignorantly, trying to catch up with his thoughts.

"Our society at this time is not fair, but it still maintains some kind of cruel fairness. I believe that if one day in the future, the great cause of the empire is fulfilled, we have more resources and energy, and we may be able to promote social change. -reform, establish a new society that treats all individuals more fairly. By then, orcs can dedicate themselves without any scruples when they are young and promising, and don't have to worry about losing their social value one day in the future. will be abandoned by the tribe.

Yet going any further, such as creating a perfectly fair society, sounds like some kind of sweet trap.I believe that as long as a society is still growing and trying to rejuvenate, it can never and will never be absolutely fair.

So it is a pity that we can only live in a fair society that is not fair.In such a living environment, a person's contribution value is where he settles down, his livelihood, his right to speak, and all his options.

And such contribution value is always reflected through work.

When you don't know what to do, you should work and use your work to prove your talent, your worth and your point of view.When you encounter people or things that don't suit you, you should still work and leave those trivial people and things behind so that they can no longer be your fetters.When you want to risk the world, you should work and achieve irreplaceable achievements, so that all opponents cannot shake your decision.

I'm sorry, you are in our society and this era, I can only tell you such a cruel truth. "

Hailou looked down at Doudou, the tenderness in his eyes was almost sad.

"If you are willing to be an ordinary person, mixed among all living beings, you can go with the situation and go with the flow, but correspondingly, you will be forced to give up the right of self-choice and bear the shackles imposed on you by others.

If you don't want to, you just want to be yourself, a maverick, a casual person, a real genius, you need to be the best person and prove yourself at work.This is the curse of our time upon genius and independence. "

Doudou pondered for a while in a daze, and finally came to understand.

He could really just be a carefree kitten, the way he used to be.But now that he lives in a human society, he needs to abide by the rules of humans, just like he also needed to follow the rules of cats before.Everything in the world always has its own laws.

If there is no guarantee that those who don't like him will never have the power to overthrow his life, DouDou cannot be a free kitten safely.

And now he is a kitten who needs to adapt to the new environment and challenge new rules, open up territory and mark new territory, just like a young lion entering a new and unfamiliar territory, its first task is to sharpen its claws.

"But for the record, I still don't like working."

"Of course you don't like it. Actually... I don't like work either."

"really?"

"real."

"Don't lie to me?"

"Do not lie to you."

The author has something to say:

Doudou’s view of diligence is actually a bit like letting me arrange my own work, I can do something on my own initiative, but if you impose work on me, make plans for me and force me to execute, then I will not be very happy, and even Start paddling (.

In addition, Hailou's six meals a day feeding method, I feel that the big orange will be settled soon.Although chubby cats are cute, but in reality, kittens still need to control their weight.

PS: Although explaining it in the speech sounds a bit like trying to make up for Doudou, let’s say a few words.The festival of this floating island is called the Harvest Festival. As the name suggests, it is a very simple farmers' festival. You can understand it as a farmhouse.All the agricultural and sideline products inside can be purchased, such as the feathers of Gala birds, or plant flowers, as long as you pay enough star coins, you can take them home.Why are natural things precious? Apart from the fact that breeding and planting is not easy, the more natural and closer to the items of the ancient earth period, the more they can soothe and help restore spiritual power.Therefore, the products of the floating island will not be kept on the island forever, and the ultimate goal is to send them to thousands of households, whether it is for food or as decorations. , The same is true for the housekeeper in the first chapter who replaced the feather-woven handmade carpet.

Dou Dou's behavior is right?It depends on how to understand this behavior.Assuming that this is a strawberry garden, other people come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. When they go back, they buy a basket of strawberries picked by the staff. Only Doudou picks a basket of strawberries by himself, and finally pays.This Strawberry Garden didn’t stipulate in advance that you can’t do it yourself, it’s just a convention that everyone doesn’t do it, and it doesn’t necessarily break the law, but you can also think that he is rude and unethical.That's the general idea.

Again, DouDou is a cat.I don’t know if you have any experience in raising cats. Cats are creatures that you cannot reason with.It is inappropriate to equate him with human bear children (after all, people can make concessions for cats (not just cats here, but other small animals), but usually they will not make concessions for bear children. This is a double-standard problem (. So far, Dou Dou should not have done anything harmful, oppressed the good, committed crimes, behaved perversely, smashed things that other people did, he didn't even put urination into action (.

As for DouDou always emphasizing that he is an invincible and cute kitten, please go back to the copy: DouDou is a blindly confident and blindly optimistic kitten.He really thinks so, you can understand it as a fart behavior, but it's not that he justifies himself (after all, he doesn't think he is wrong at all for not wanting to work, tearing down curtains, plucking birds' feathers, and picking flowers .

Of course, when the story develops to the follow-up, Doudou will also have his own adventures and growth, which belongs to the category of fairy tales where animals become spirits. Since he wants to live in human society as a human, he will definitely achieve harmony in the end.It's just that his nature is more or less cat-like.I also hope that everyone will not regard this change as the author's upbringing and collapse. Everything follows the outline and is for the story.In any case, DouDou will always have those beautiful qualities in him, this is just a fairy tale.

I originally created the images of biscuits and Doudou to help you provide another perspective of life, and occasionally live like a kitten, singing the language of poetry.I’ve written it on my Weibo before, so I might as well write it again here: Kitty’s philosophy of life, listen to all the voices, but only respond to what you like; it looks like it’s thinking, but it’s just taking a nap; it doesn’t please anyone , but don’t give up the right to make others like you more; enjoy being alone; give yourself a five if you have nothing to do; be prepared for danger in times of peace, stay at home and never forget the survival instinct, and don’t give up the ability to be independent if someone raises you; at the same time, you have attractive fur and protect your claws

Finally, I hope that everyone can live an independent, beautiful and happy life like a cat.Sorry for the long-winded talk, I will not make excuses for the cat design problem in the future.
