After saving 1,027 worlds, Fang Cun finally made it to retirement. He handed over his work to an enthusiastic junior, collected a hefty retirement payout, and happily returned to his hometown.
He built a little courtyard house at the foot of the mountain, stocked a fish pond, and settled into a leisurely rural life, free from the distractions of worldly affairs...
"Um, Mr. Fang, you said this cat is called...?"
"Goudan. Why?"
"Oh, nothing." The award-winning actor, a master of his craft, had no idea what expression to make. He could only pretend to focus on the water, hoping to catch dinner for himself and his teammate.
"I'm just saying, you're not very good at fishing. You've been at it for ages and only caught this little fish. It's barely enough to pick your cat's teeth, right, Goudan?"
"..." Goudan, the black-furred cat, had no interest in talking to him. It darted into a corner, closed its eyes, and vanished completely into the shadows.
"Recently, the criminal investigation squad of XX Public Security Bureau cracked a major child-trafficking case... According to our reporter, during the investigation, information from a helpful local resident was of great assistance to the police..."
The "helpful local resident," whose eyes were pixelated in the news footage, stood between the police and the parents of the rescued children, holding a banner that read "May good people live in peace all their lives" and a cash reward of 5,000 yuan.
"Goudan, we did the work, so let's split the reward between us. One for you, one for me. Sound good?"
The black cat pawed at the red cushion in its bed and looked at its human with a hint of disdain.
Fang Cun set up a reclining chair in the courtyard, basked in the sun, and took a sip of sugar-free cola infused with goji berries.
"If I were a DJ, would you..."
"Hello?"
"Brother Fang! Get online, quick! The guild leader got camped at the respawn point by those idiots!"
"Damn it, give me thirty seconds!"
Fishing, playing with the cat, watering the flowers, reading the papers, and sipping health tea. Retirement is just this simple and wholesome [Doge]
