[The National Fortune Game has begun]
[Dragon Kingdom contestant: Xu Yuan. Awakened form: orange tabby]
The livestream chat explodes:
“A cat? Just a cat?”
“That’s it, the Dragon Kingdom’s going to come in last this time.”
“What can an orange cat do? Look cute?”
Shen Yan looks at the golden words before him:
[Intelligence System activated]
[In three hours, a horde of ironback scorpions will pass by your cave.]
[Suggestion: Set traps in advance.]
He licks his paw. Fine.
While everyone else is still searching for water, he’s already found a spirit field.
While everyone else is being chased by snakes, he’s already scalded one half to death.
While everyone else is fighting alone, he’s already founded the Ten Thousand Beast Den with the Silver Wolf King, the Golden Eagle, and the White Weasel.
Until the Dragon Kingdom climbs from last place to first.
Until he becomes the King of Beasts.
Until the System says,
“Host, I’m not a tool… I’m your comrade.”
“Thank you for showing me what it means to be trusted. Goodbye, Shen Yan.” The golden light fades away. He falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
In the distance, Yin Zi runs over and nuzzles him. “What’s wrong?” He buries his face in Yin Zi’s fur and says nothing.
He will never tell anyone that he has just lost a comrade.
A comrade whose existence only he knew about.
At last, the two worlds merge. Shen Yan evolves without end into a divine beast, leading all of humanity into a new era.
