One person and one cat continued on the road, Xu Maomao lay there and fell asleep beautifully until he noticed that the car had stopped. He rubbed his eyes and got up, thinking they had arrived in the city. Unexpectedly, he saw Shen Yu looking ahead with a serious look on his face.
“Meow?”
“Are you awake? Just in time, the toll station in front of us is blocked. I’ll get off the car and take a look. You stay here.”
Xu Maomao stretched for a long time: “I’ll go with you.” He was tired from sleeping, and he needed to move.
Shen Yu had no choice but to pick up the cat and go to the toll booth together to ask.
“There is nothing we can do. There are many explosions in the city now. We suspect that some criminals are taking advantage of the chaos to come to City B to carry out illegal and criminal activities. The superiors have just issued a notice to impose martial law throughout the city, and all vehicles traveling from other places must be strictly inspected!”
Shen Yu showed his ID card: “I am a local, can I go directly with you?”
The police officer carefully checked his ID card and ran to check the car.
“This is not a local car.”
“It was rented from a car dealer. These are the license, driver’s license, rental agreement…” Shen Yu gave them to him to check and dialed a number.
Not long after, the young police officer received a call from the chief. As soon as he heard what the other person said, his attitude toward Shen Yu became subtle and he quickly said: “It turns out to be Mr. Shen. No problem, you can pass.”
When he returned to the car and passed leisurely, Xu Maomao couldn’t help but be in awe: “A Yu, what do you do at home?”
Shen Yu wrote lightly: “My classmate happens to be in charge of this jurisdiction, I just said hello, and besides, this road is passable, just now it just sped up the process a little.”
Xu Maomao looked back at the long train of cars beside them, thinking that someone could help the cars pass…
Only when he returned to the city did he realize what had happened. It turned out that during the storm, lightning strikes occurred in many places in City B. Although no casualties took place, many buildings were destroyed. Lightning strikes were originally a rare natural phenomenon, but with so many gathering at one time, and the geographical location of City B being relatively sensitive, it was inevitable that the authorities would be nervous when interpreting it.
Moreover, lightning strikes appeared most intensively in some relatively meaningful areas, such as the Forbidden City and the Lotus Pond, especially the Lotus Pond. They didn’t know if the water source attracted the lightning. It was said that during the hours when the heavy rain was at its peak, a large number of lightning strikes sank into the pond, and a spectacle similar to boiling occurred in the pond. Many fishes jumped up in fright and were blown away by the lightning strikes. When they reached the shore, they were kindly thrown back into the pond by nearby residents.
Now all the people from the Environmental Protection Bureau and Forestry Bureau had rushed to the Lotus Pond to evaluate the water quality and ecology, and along the way they caught many people trying to catch koi.
Xu Maomao was stunned by the news: “Lotus Pond, isn’t that the hometown of Lu Bao?”
Shen Yu replied casually while packing his luggage: “I don’t know if its little friend was blown up.”
“Nonsense. After all, it is a fish that has gained wisdom, so it should be hiding at the bottom of the water.” Xu Maomao said this, but still sent a message to Lu Bao with some worry.
[Oscar]: The lotus pond has been a bit uneasy recently.
[Lu Bao]: What’s wrong? I’m almost at the Lotus Pond!
Xu Maomao told Lu Bao about this matter.
[Lu Bao]: I don’t care. Brother Yu is very smart. Human bombs dropping into the lake in the past did not cause any harm to us. He even has an air-raid shelter at the bottom of the lake and would not be afraid.
Now that it had been said so, Xu Maomao didn’t want to be too verbose. The spring break was completely over, and he had to start the next step of his plan. The old articles had been serialized. This time he planned to serialize a supernatural novel about ghosts. The inspiration came from the interesting experiences he had during the time when he turned into a cat; and the next task was to continue to live broadcast to netizens and earn more love points.
Netizens were all little goblins who loved the new and hated the old. Xu Maomao’s live dancing had reached its peak some time ago, but now the popularity was fading quickly, so he could no longer follow the old path and must think of new ways to attract attention.
The photos of Lu Bao inspired him. He turned on the mic very boldly during this live broadcast, raised the photo presented to him by Lu Bao to the camera, and spoke to netizens for the first time: “Hello everyone, my name is Oscar. This is my little friend Lu Bao.”
When the clear and bright boy’s voice filled the live broadcast room, netizens exploded!
[How fat! The cat has spoken!]
[This, this is lip-syncing, right?]
[Haha, can you still play like this? There are a lot of anchor roles, and I’m a substitute.]
[Don’t tell me, this lip sync is very good, Oscar is also very cooperative]
Xu Maomao was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that he had really spoken, but these netizens wouldn’t believe it, and would suspect that the shit shoveling officer was behind the scenes, so he spoke more confidently.
“My little friend usually lives in the lotus pond, but he has a heart that yearns for the sea. He traveled thousands of kilometers to the seaside.” Xu Maomao showed netizens a photo of Lu Bao and the crab. The way the huge frog looked when standing next to crab was so funny.
[This frog is so big and beautiful. Is it raised by the anchor?]
Xu Maomao said: “I raised him.”
[Pfft, as expected of the master, whatever you say will be whatever you say.]
[After the series ‘You want to trick me into raising a cat again’, it was upgraded to ‘You want to trick me into raising a frog again’ series’?]
The rare and beautiful frog quickly attracted attention, and the number of people in the live broadcast room skyrocketed. Xu Maomao was always paying attention to the message board. When he saw more people, he quickly said hello to everyone. There was no need to say too much, after all, a cat opening his mouth was already very scary!
[Ah, I can’t stand it anymore, I want to pet Oscar who can talk until he is bald! Anyway, I live very close to your community and I want to tell you that the anchor is great!]
[Excuse me upstairs, that community is under martial law, let’s find an auspicious day to go to the Nausicaa to pet cats.]
Xu Maomao said proudly: “Please be civilized fans, I will not show up now.”
The barrage was full of hahahaha, obviously it felt very fresh, after all, there were many cute animals, but this was the first time they met a cat that could “chat” with netizens – even though they all thought it was the anchor dubbing, they couldn’t resist the realism!
[Weakly asking, is the big frog coming out?]
Xu Maomao: “The baby frog is still traveling.” As he said that, Xu Maomao pretended to move the camera with his paws to show that there was no big frog in this house.
[Pfft, I believe your lies!]
[Ouch, I’m going to eat fried frogs tonight, don’t you think I’ll scare the cat owner to death!]
Xu Maomao chatted with netizens for about ten minutes, but it was not just chatting. He firmly fixed the topic on Lu Bao. After all, if the “cat talk show” was to continue, the host must have a clear topic for each issue, just chatting couldn’t last long.
At this time, he was really glad that he was an Internet writer and still had the ability to make up stories.
Shen Yu, who was working in the pet store, took some time out of his busy schedule to open the live broadcast room. After watching the content in just ten minutes, he felt faintly sweaty on his back.
This Xu Maomao was so courageous! Did he still dare to do this kind of live broadcast?!
Fortunately, most of the viewers were naive netizens watching the fun. If there were a few textual research parties, Xu Maomao would have to be sliced into pieces. In fact, Shen Yu’s worries about Xu Maomao were not something he was unaware of. So when he turned on the mic, he installed a voice changer and slightly changed the voice line and transmission channel to create the effect that the sound was coming from another position. Even if he encountered the textual research party, he was not afraid.
A few days later, Xu Maomao’s small photos and frog stories gradually spread to some snood jokes, and several media people and marketing accounts continued to expand their influence and even made it to the hot search list.
Among them was a game team from Sakura Country. After seeing these jokes, they all gasped – Motor, this idea… sugoi!

While on his way to city B, Lu Bao looked confused: ??? When did he become so popular?
You must know that love value was also a very precious asset in the demon world. Generally, it was only available to cats, dogs, and squirrels. Because they were not popular in the pet world, they were not favored by many humans.
However, the naive Lu Bao still didn’t know that his current popularity was just an appetizer. In a few months, it would become a world-famous star like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Hello Kitty…
