"It says on the label that you can only pick up things that are clearly not needed," Bo Yuxue said, narrowing her eyes. She wasn't so easily fooled.
“We never said that what we just spilled on the ground was no longer needed.”
The little cat's face visibly flushed red: "What?! Didn't you guys say anything?!"
"Really not?!?"
It hugged Jiang Kehan's leg with its tail, looking at her incredulously.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Kehan nodded at Bo Yuxue's prompting: "We didn't say anything."
Although it was something she didn't need, she had never said she didn't need it, so she wasn't lying.
"Meow!!!" The little kitten was almost fainting.
"Doesn't that mean I broke the contract?!"
It looked around helplessly, closed its eyes, and with a death wish, slammed its head hard against the small coffee table.
"Meow, I want to die back! Meow, I want to die back! Meow is a sinner!"
Jiang Kehan hesitated for a moment before stopping it, but then changed her mind: "Ah, now that I think about it, it's actually not necessary. You just ate it first, it's fine."
You should know that for cats, pain is worse than death.
In reality, one can be resurrected after dying, but if it hurts, the Silver Sea's original body will also feel pain, and it's not a simple additive pain, but rather an exponential increase.
That's why they even run away from phantom pain; once bitten, twice shy.
But at this moment, it was willing to risk the pain and die to go back and atone for its sins, which shows how much they valued this contract.
"Really?" The little cat seemed to be sniffling, and even its meows sounded a little like it was crying.
All three nodded vigorously. They had no ill intentions towards the little cat; they had only intended to tease it about its arrogant attitude.
This time, I really messed things up by accident.
"You're a good person, meow!" Little Meow Ball wrote to Jiang Kehan after calming down.
"You're a bad guy, meow!" It glared at Bo Yuxue, its whole body puffing up in a halo. "You big bad guy!"
Jiang Kehan looked at the little cat ball with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, feeling like it was a child.
Chapter 198 A Small Deal
"Since you say I'm a good person, could you please do me a favor?"
Jiang Kehan gently squatted down, poked the little cat's head with her finger to get its attention, and then spoke in a gentle tone.
"Meow?" Little Meowball was a little confused. Usually, it was Meowball who would ask the witch for help. Why would a witch ask Meowball for help?
It truly knows how... pathetic Meowball's abilities are in reality.
Although they may be considered superior to most creatures in the world in the Silver Sea, that is still just the Silver Sea.
According to the division of witches, the world is roughly divided into three layers.
The Silver Sea represents the intersection of consciousness and rules.
The Cliff of Matter represents matter and reality, encompassing countless different universes and timelines.
It represents cleansing and metabolism, as well as the abyss of reincarnation.
The Silver Sea where the Meow Ball is located is more like a void than a sea. No one knows what will happen in the next second, and even beings like the Meow Ball that can condense a body are extremely rare.
More bizarre than the most unpredictable dream, more abstract than the most absurd art, everything is in flux, like an ever-flowing tide, hence it is called the sea.
The Silver Sea can be described as a manifestation of the world's disorder, far removed from reality.
Therefore, in reality, the Meow Ball's abilities are all crippled versions, with only its functionality worth mentioning.
As beings who transcend the three boundaries, witches rarely need to use cat balls, except when delivering messages.
However, when it comes to delivering messages, Meowball Logistics Company specializes in serving witches, and Little Meowball couldn't quite understand why the other party would specifically seek her out.
"Let me know what you want to meow first!" The little cat didn't rashly agree, but instead told Jiang Kehan its name, "You can be called Aud meow, that's a cat's name!"
"There are only so many things a cat can do, so I can't make any guarantees."
“It’s nothing serious, Odd Meow.” Jiang Kehan patiently explained her needs to Odd Meow, leaving it a little confused.
"You mean, you want to recruit suitable cat-balls who not only get paid every day, but also sometimes pilot mechs to participate in witch duels without getting hurt?"
Odcat's mouth opened wide, like a goblin lost in its fantasy suddenly realizing that what it had been imagining was right in front of it.
What should the cat do now?
Oddcat's brain was in a panic; it desperately needed a suitable reason to make itself seem less pathetic in agreeing.
It's not that Miaoqiu lacks backbone, it's just that Jiang Kehan has given her too much!
A cat that can become a witch's pet is a real big shot in the Silver Sea. A little cat like it is either on the road of wandering or on the road of running away.
For Meowball, reality is an addictive game world. Compared to Silver Sea, even manual labor in reality is much more appealing!
As for why it ran away, don't ask. Sometimes the little kitten would sneak into the big witch's house, freeload off her, and cause all sorts of trouble.
They will continue to wander until the Great Witch can't stand it anymore and starts chasing the cats away, then they will continue to wander, waiting to find the next Great Witch.
This is why the Queen included a note in the contract: "When Meowball gets cocky, he's way more formidable than a naughty child."
It can be compared to an adult husky that never sleeps!
Furthermore, the witch rarely gives the catballs money, firstly because she's afraid they'll get arrogant if they have money, and secondly because recruiting catballs normally only requires some food.
Only those catballs who become witches' partners might have their own little wallets.
Therefore, when Audmiao heard the conditions offered by Jiang Kehan, she felt as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
Catballs really enjoy fighting, which can be seen from their fondness for bullying small animals that can't fight back. The only thing that stops them from fighting is pain.
However, even the elven witches who fight by piloting mechs are known for their low combat power, which shows how low the level of mechs is in the witches' eyes.
Unless it's intentionally teasing the cat balls, the witch won't let them participate in battles with their mechs.
Now that both wishes have been fulfilled, Audmiao feels that she has already shown great backbone by not clinging to Jiang Kehan's leg and calling her godmother!
"Meow agrees, Meow will find you a suitable partner." It waved its tail excitedly.
The thought of being able to use this condition to recruit people in the Silver Sea made it incredibly impressive!
Things change, and it's about to rise again!
"Can we recruit them within two weeks? I'm going to participate in the Little Witch Preliminary Tournament next."
Jiang Kehan looked at the Ode Cat that had started to bubble from the corner of its mouth and curiously poked the bubble with her finger.
With a "pop," as she accidentally popped the bubble, Odcat came to her senses.
"Just three days, meow! I'll go right now!"
As Oddcat nodded excitedly, it carefully took a small tuft of fur from its body and handed it to Jiang Kehan.
"I'll contact you using this once I find it, Meow."
Jiang Kehan took the small tuft of hair, but when it landed in her hand, the hair magically transformed into a tiny, sparkling stone.
"This is Meow's location stone, it will find you quickly," Ode Meow explained, then disappeared before the three of them with a big smile, leaving them to look at each other helplessly, finding it somewhat amusing.
It couldn't wait to show off to the other cats!
"If Meowball behaves itself, I think almost every witch would have one," Bo Yuxue shrugged and slumped onto the sofa.
"Unfortunately, they are like the Silver Sea, almost never stable."
Jiang Kehan scratched her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Isn't this what a cat ball should be like? But I think that day will come."
She then bid farewell to the two of them.
"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll be leaving now. Solita, remember to come to the party!"
Jiang Kehan waved to the two of them; she still had to work her shift at the tavern today.
"Kehan, won't you play with us for a while?" After a brief hesitation, Solita looked at Jiang Kehan expectantly and asked.
“I’d like to join you guys, but not today.” Jiang Kehan looked apologetic. “I have to work today. Even though the bar doesn’t open until the evening, I still need to prepare the drinks in advance.”
"Then...can I come to the tavern tonight?" Solita's eyes seemed to sparkle, making Jiang Kehan unable to refuse.
But Bo Yuxue was not swayed by Solita. After the other party spoke, she clenched her fist and gently punched Solita on the head.
"You should practice witch duels more. After all, Jiang Kehan is going there to work, and you'll have to spend money if you go."
Bo Yuxue looked at Solita helplessly and said.
“You’ve been living off the mountain all this time; even your tuition is paid with your subsidies.”
"If you don't perform well in this Little Witch preliminary tournament, you won't have the chance to participate in the duel like Jiang Kehan."
Solita actually knew about these things, but that didn't stop her from looking at Jiang Kehan with feigned disappointment.
Jiang Kehan had no choice but to smile and gently hug Solita.
"When we get to the party, we'll have a great day. Besides, we'll be fighting as teammates throughout the preliminaries."
Hehe, Solita's expression changed almost the instant Jiang Kehan hugged her, and she nodded heavily.
"Yes, I won't let you down!"
After Jiang Kehan left, she looked at Bo Yuxue with a firm gaze, as if she were talking about something trivial.
"So let's train until 2 a.m. today."
2 a.m. was not her limit, but rather the limit at which Bo Yuxue wanted to go to sleep.
"I don't care, you paid for it." Bo Yuxue shrugged, but still spoke with a hint of concern.
"But are you really not going to rest? With academic classes included, you've only slept two hours a day."
Solita's strength is not entirely due to talent, but more so to unlimited self-pressure, and she didn't sleep for two hours.
With the aid of evil, she has never slept since she became a witch.
Every moment, she was working hard to be able to follow in Jiang Kehan's footsteps.
“No need. I have something I want more than rest.” Solita gazed firmly at Bo Yuxue, causing the other to sigh softly.
This little girl is heavy and fidgety. I'm a little worried about whether Jiang Kehan can handle her... Bo Yuxue covered her face, unsure whether she should offer advice or warn Jiang Kehan.
