DSMC Chapter 87.1

Temporary Bodyguard (Part 1)

[Want to be Human] livestream channel: 

“Ahhh, this is too cool! Kitty Baby’s flashy moves are always endless. Ahhh, if one day I can’t see Kitty Baby’s stream, I’d be so sad. Kitty, you must stay alive!”

“That scene where Kitty Baby jumped across the lotus leaves could totally be this year’s best escape advertisement clip for Fate, right?”

“Other than shouting ‘awesome,’ I really don’t know what else to say. Mimi doesn’t just have eighteen kinds of skills, his IQ is off the charts too. I love him so much!”

“Isn’t the key point that he was still holding the sample in his mouth? He could totally win Best of the Year! Too bad the game doesn’t have that kind of ranking, otherwise Kitty Baby would definitely be the best one.”

“I think so too. He’s really both cool and sweet. Every time I follow his first-person view it’s like riding a horror roller coaster, thrilling and exciting, 100% immersive! Sometimes I know nothing will happen, but I’m still especially worried. Anyway, I really like this livestream room and plan to stay here long-term.”

“I’ve already bought a villa in this livestream room, thanks!”

“I’ve decided to climb Mimi’s fan ranking list! Okay, opened it, okay, closed it— big shots are all too fierce. When on earth did you all get so much money!! Can I beg my way up so Mimi’s can notice me?”

“Mimi hasn’t even thanked his number-one big spender, and that’s how you know how cool he is. In other players’ livestream rooms, even tipping a little gets all kinds of thanks. Here with Mimi, it’s really like raising a cat master— he ignores us completely, doesn’t even say thank you once. I even wonder if he’s ever seen us! But even if he doesn’t look at me, I still want to tip him.”

“Same here. Every time I know he won’t look at me, but I still can’t control myself and tip him. Ah, I feel so pathetic.”

“The ‘pathetic’ sister upstairs, you’re not alone. Mimi is just too aloof, aloof equally to everyone. I actually kind of like his aloofness! It’s probably the fairest and most impartial livestream room.”

After a burst of smooth, flowing sprinting, Yan Jiyun finally landed steadily on the open ground on the opposite side. Luckily he ran fast; one of the lotus leaves in the middle was especially soft and he almost fell into the water. Fortunately, he reached the shore without danger.

Xixi circled above his head twice. This time it didn’t call him “bad cat.”

Yan Jiyun and Xixi continued on their way. There was still some distance to the infirmary, but it shouldn’t be too far. Fifteen minutes should be enough to get there.

He had consumed quite a bit of stamina in the mad dash just now, his body heating up. He couldn’t keep sprinting hard anymore and had to walk for a while to recover.

Probably because Yan Jiyun had turned back into a cat and Xixi couldn’t find anyone to talk to, it didn’t show off its language talent either.

One cat and one bird went into the forest of artificial plants.

On summer nights, the forest was dotted with little lights of fireflies. Xixi stopped on a tree ahead to wait for Yan Jiyun, flapping its wings to brush away the fireflies around it, playing quite happily.

Yan Jiyun lived in the city, and insects like fireflies that live in the mountains and forests were rarely seen. He never expected to see them in the zoo. This showed that the zoo’s ecological environment was quite good, with truly complete species.

The fireflies not only danced around Xixi but also around Yan Jiyun. As he walked, he jumped up and waved his paws at those little points of starlight in the darkness.

If he were an ordinary cat, he would have played the little insects to death, but Yan Jiyun wouldn’t do that. He just waved his paws for show and found it especially fun.

If he weren’t still doing a time-limited mission, he would have stayed to play with the fireflies all night. They were really beautiful.

He jumped and pounced at the fireflies for a while. Time was truly too limited, and after a few tries, he reluctantly continued forward with Xixi.

[Want to be Human] livestream channel: 

“He’s seriously too cute!”

“Just now it was a scene full of extreme danger, and now it’s unbelievably romantic. If it were another player, they’d have been scolded for being pretentious long ago, but how is darling sweetheart Kitty Baby so cute? It connects seamlessly and doesn’t feel out of place at all. He’s so cute I’m exploding!!! This grown man’s heart is full of pink bubbles right now!”

“Same here. After Kitty Baby’s instance ends, I’m going camping somewhere with fireflies too. This is just too beautiful and romantic.”

“I said it before and I’ll say it again: Kitty Baby is amazing in any scene, irreplaceable.”

“Am I the only one who noticed the top-ranked big spender is tipping like crazy again? But my tipping finger hasn’t stopped either. Raising a cat online makes you spend more money than raising one in real life.”

“Even though he really does rake in money, I’m genuinely willing, and really happy. Recently, after watching Kitty Baby’s stream, the hair I lost last year due to depression has grown back.”

“Mimi can even treat depression?”

“I don’t have depression, but usually at work and stuff I just can’t muster any energy. Ever since I started watching Meowmeow’s livestream room, I’ve become more positive too. I just got a notice from HR today, saying I got a raise, hahaha. It hasn’t increased in two years.”

“My hair didn’t grow back and I didn’t get a raise. I’ve always wanted to lose weight but never made up my mind. Since watching Mimi’s stream, when he runs I run along too. After one month, I’ve already lost 10 kg. Mimi’s first-person view is really incredible!”

Yan Jiyun, who was doing the mission, knew nothing about the positive-energy comments in the livestream room.

He had no idea that he was spreading positivity to many viewers who had popped up from who knows where. If he knew, he would definitely tell them to tip more. Once he had enough points, he could exchange them early to return to a human body.

Break time was over. Continue the mission.

The infirmary area was located in the middle of the zoo, close to several large animal exhibition zones. Even in this chaotic time, small animals didn’t dare run toward areas with large animals.

Yan Jiyun was least worried about this part. He had the scent of a black panther on him; if he encountered leopards, they probably wouldn’t harm him. As for the tiger area, he was a little worried about encountering a rampaging tiger. One whose mind was out of control would be very scary.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard a huge tiger roar.

Yan Jiyun’s ears shrank back.

What was happening in the tiger area?

He wanted to go take a look, but considering his current size and the remaining mission time, it would be overestimating himself.

What if a tiger wanted to eat Xixi? He didn’t want to put himself in such a dilemma. Running was the best option.

Yan Jiyun wanted to directly run past the tiger mountain area, but he realized the tiger’s roars were getting closer and closer.

A white figure rushed out from the forest, almost frightening Xixi into rolling its eyes and fainting. It hid on a tree branch, not daring to move.

Yan Jiyun also quietly climbed up a tree. A tiger’s sense of smell was the same as his. It could smell the scent of its own kind or other species from far away.

What should he do?

No one knew which tiger it was that was roaring. Was it extremely irritable to be howling like that?

Xixi suddenly spoke up: “Save—”

Yan Jiyun immediately raised his paw and pressed down on Xixi’s mouth as it tried to speak, threatening it with his sharp claws: “Call out again and I’ll dig your beak out.”

Xixi: “……”

At that moment, a tiger whose fur color could not be concealed even in the darkness appeared before Yan Jiyun.

With that bold running posture and that coat color, Yan Jiyun could tell who it was without even thinking with his paw pads. It was the Bengal white tiger player.

Why did he run over here?

Yan Jiyun and Xixi continued to stay quietly in the tree.

Then came another burst of footsteps. Behind the Bengal white tiger player was a whole string of wild boars.

As expected of this Bengal white tiger player whose brain was a bit lacking. What on earth did he do to get chased by a group of wild boars?

Seeing that it was the white tiger player, Yan Jiyun felt much more at ease. The other party probably still hadn’t adapted to his identity; otherwise he would have noticed a cat in the tree long ago.

Only after the white tiger and the group of wild boars had run far away did Yan Jiyun release the paw covering Xixi’s mouth.

With agile movements, he jumped neatly down from the plane tree, then looked up at Xixi, signaling it to continue forward. He truly hoped there wouldn’t be any more mishaps on the rest of the journey.

Xixi followed on its own and didn’t get obsessed with watching insects. With that long beak, it couldn’t even eat them. Cracking sunflower seeds would probably be its forte.

After leaving the area close to the tiger zone, Yan Jiyun was another step closer to his destination.

[“Dr. Peng’s Request” mission countdown: 12m 30s]

[Human Form Time Card remaining time: 30s]

At this moment, Yan Jiyun’s experience card time was also about to end. He saw the familiar buildings near the infirmary and didn’t extend the experience card. He hid in a bush, planning to wait until there were no people or animals passing by and, when the time was up, turn back into a human.

Then he could dash straight to the medical bay.

After arranging his timing, Yan Jiyun heard that familiar tiger roar again.

Hadn’t the Bengal white tiger player gone far away?

Its footsteps were getting closer!

It wouldn’t be coming straight toward his direction, would it!

Why did this white tiger player seem so careless and big-hearted, as if not very smart?

Besides its footsteps, there were other sounds too. This time it didn’t seem to be wild boars. Who knew what it had provoked.

The sound from the ground was like an earthquake. Probably a rather heavy animal.

In short, this Bengal white tiger was really too annoying.

[Human Form Time Card remaining time: 15s]

The Bengal white tiger player stopped within the area where he was hiding. If he turned back into human form, it would directly see him suddenly appear and then guess that he could turn from an animal into a human. Of course, that was assuming the other party’s IQ and EQ were both online.

[Human Form Time Card remaining time: 10s]

The large animals chasing the Bengal white tiger suddenly stopped, as if something more attractive had appeared, and changed direction.

The Bengal white tiger suddenly lay down on the lawn in front of Yan Jiyun. It panted for a breath, and after calming down, saw a pair of emerald-green eyes staring straight at it from the bushes.

Bengal white tiger: “……”

Yan Jiyun: “……”
