He Finally Stopped Pretending to Be a Dandy

The ending is rushed, so I don't recommend reading this.

To everyone who knew Fang Jianmo, he was a spoiled rich kid in every sense of the word. Despite his wealthy background and elite schooling, he was useless and good at nothing.

That is, until he bonded with a System cub who was just over four years old...

Hopelessly illiterate? No!

A top student who keeps his talents hidden? Yes!

A talentless loser? No!

An artist with extraordinary gifts? Yes!

A good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend money? No!

A business genius who pretends to be clueless all day? Yes!

Everyone: What happened to him being a spoiled rich kid? What happened to him being good at nothing?!

Fang Jianmo: I was going to keep treating you all like a spoiled rich kid, but then I bonded with a little cub. Hehe, no more pretending. I'll come clean:

Bonus scene:

We now bring you an interview.

Interviewee: Fang Jianmo, a well-known spoiled rich kid

Question: If you could bond with a System and complete missions, what kind of System would you choose?

A. An experienced senior who can help you finish missions quickly

B. A young adult around your age, so you have plenty to talk about and the missions won't be boring

C. A little cub just over four years old, who's useless at everything but great at acting cute

D. None of the above

Fang Jianmo: Old folks are too tough, and young adults are too firm. I'll pick C. Kids are tender and taste better.

A certain little cub: Σ( ° △ °|||)

Reader's guide: No-brain wish fulfillment / parallel fictional world / the cub turns human later

Please follow my new novel, My Informants Are Everywhere in the Animal Kingdom

1.

After solving a pet theft case, rookie police officer Bai Zhou suddenly discovers that he can understand animal speech.

When he goes to arrest a suspect, a skeletal husky's eyes gleam with hunger. It bares its teeth, drool dripping onto the ground, and approaches them with an air that says it's ready to eat someone. Please give the kid something to eat. The kid's starving. In return, I'll tell you where my owner went. My nose is super sharp!

After receiving a missing-person report, they head to the countryside to investigate. One of the rural area's three bullies, a rooster, flaps its powerful wings and rushes over to peck at their legs. The police are finally here! Someone buried a body in my secret hideout. I don't know which jerk did it, but it scared the living daylights out of me! Hurry up and follow me, help me dig it up!

They pursue a fugitive murderer into the mountains. There are lots of monkeys in the area, notorious for stealing things and hurting children. As the officers worry about what to do, a monkey swings over on a branch and leaps toward them. I'm not like the others. I'm a good monkey. Don't believe me? I've seen the person you're after. I'll lead you there.

Bai Zhou: "..." This is why it's important to learn a foreign language.

The husky becomes a police dog, the rooster becomes a crime reporter, and the monkey becomes a helpful member of the public... With leads from their animal informants, the officers follow every clue to uncover the truth and chase down criminals through steep mountains, arresting them one by one!

2.

Later, word spread throughout the animal kingdom about a human police officer who could understand them.

A frantic little songbird flies over: Officer Bai, help! The mountain's on fire!

A pack of stray cats gets into a fight right in front of him: Officer Bai, settle this for us!

A parrot runs away from home and turns to him for help: Boo-hoo, Officer Bai, my human has another bird now. They don't love me anymore!

Bai Zhou, at first: "...This isn't really my responsibility."

Then:

Hello, 119? This is 110.

Here, one cat treat each. No more fighting.

You there, the human who takes care of the cat. I've got your daughter.

Theme: It's fine to pretend you're clueless, but don't actually be clueless.
