Even as an Animal, I Have to Earn My Keep (Quick Transmigration)

The second installment of Shen Qiu's story is complete. (Featuring a myna bird, an Asian elephant, an emperor penguin, and a squirrel.) The third installment is currently updating. (Featuring a saker falcon, a Border Collie, a wolf, a tiger, and a big goose.)

Shot through the heart, Shen Qiu thought he was about to rest forever in a martyrs' cemetery. Instead, when he opened his eyes, he had become a cat.

His keen sense of smell picked up a familiar scent in the air. He found the powder the cat's former owner had hidden beneath the floorboards and immediately carried it to the police station.

Later... The kitten had lost its owner and become the first police cat in the history of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. He enjoyed the high-standard meals usually reserved for police dogs and did their work, too.

Shen Qiu had found the most meaningful life he could lead after being reborn.

He would work hard to land a secure government job, continue serving as a pillar of the nation, and serve the people!

P.S. This might be a quick transmigration story. The protagonist will not turn back into a human.

P.P.S. No faking his death, no faking his death! It would be too hard on Qiu Qiu if he faked his death after transmigrating into an animal. I just want him to live happily through every one of his lives.

P.P.P.S. This story contains a lot of author-invented details. Anything created to serve the plot is made up. No story can suit everyone's tastes, so feel free to drop it if it's not for you. Please don't tell me when you do; let's all get along.

P.P.P.P.S. Some parts of the story may be unreasonable. After it's complete, I'll polish it and correct typos. I'm not an expert, and most of the information in the story comes from online research. If you spot anything incorrect, please point it out and I'll fix it. Don't take any legal proceedings in the story too seriously. Some details were created to serve the plot; this is just meant to entertain. I hope you enjoy reading.

I Turned into an Animal at a Talent Show

In his previous life, Song He was an undercover narcotics officer embedded within a criminal organization. In the final moments of his life, he successfully held off the criminals and gave his comrades ample time to make the arrests, but he perished in the fire.

He thought his final journey would be beneath a national flag, as he was laid to rest in a martyrs' cemetery. Instead, when he opened his eyes again, he had become an eighteen-year-old idol contestant with the same name.

The bad news: It was a live talent show, and it was almost his turn to go onstage.

The good news: He had been bound to a System that promised a special benefit to help him through this crisis if he agreed to the binding.

Just then, his mentor called him onstage, so he tried to focus on two things at once.

As he stood in the middle of the stage, he heard the System declare: [I can turn you into an animal right here, right now!]

Mentor: “Song He, what special talent are you going to show us today?”

Song He answered as he thought: “Turning into an animal?”

Mentor and audience: “Huh?”

The next second, a calico cat appeared out of nowhere in the center of the stage.

Everyone there sprang to their feet: “What just jumped down?!”

The livestream audience: “! Such advanced special effects! What an unusual skill! What an amazing director!”

The director... stared at the calico cat, completely stunned.

“Huh? No! Wait a minute!”
