Chapter 286 - Shared Emotions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Merika time, day five, 8:00 AM.
“Hollywood Entertainment Magazine” started a tenacious counter-attack towards Young Master Dali Hong—
“Days ago, the director of ‘Magic Age,’ James officially responded to Young Master Dali Hong’s challenge. James says that he welcomes the arrival of Young Master Dali Hong’s blockbuster in Merika. At the same time, he officially announces that Hollywood is unafraid of all challenges, and it instead welcomes all challenges. Also, in order to express his high regard towards Young Master Dali Hong, the capital cost of ‘Magic Age’ will increase to 50 million USD. This will be a historical clash between both parties. James also congratulates the actors that have joined Young Master Dali Hong’s production. James hopes that by the end of this movie collaboration, the actors starring in Young Master Dali Hong’s movie will return to Hollywood to film more outstanding movies.”
Once this piece of news was released, film lovers in Merika were instantly split into two camps.
One thought that since there was going to be a challenge, they might as well watch both movies and make the final comment on which was good and which was bad.
On the other hand, the other side felt that since they were all citizens of Merika, they naturally had to support their local movie. Thus, it was decided for the time being that they would prioritize supporting “Magic Age.” As for Young Master Dali Hong’s movie… Though they wanted to watch it badly, they decided to wait and see how things unfolded first.
However, though many film lovers belonged to the second type, they attracted unanimous disdain by the first type of film lovers—the Heavenly State people didn’t even do that during the first day of screening of “Air-Raid of the Trump Cards” and “Moment of Screaming.” If you guys did that, it would be too unkind, smearing the name of our free and equal country! Thus, the two groups engaged in a fierce and chaotic quarrel.
At last, both parties came to a consensus. Actually, the terms of reconciliation were very simple—they either watched both or watched none at all…
As for the eventual box office results, that naturally had to depend on the reviews. That was the fairest way which was widely agreed.
…
Merika’s side had literally descended into chaos because of these two movies. On the other hand, Hong Dali’s side was totally unconcerned over these matters—during this period of time, due to Hong Dali’s huge spending, his lackeys had saved a hundred stray cats and dogs that were on the verge of dying. Just then, Hong Dali’s Side Mission had been easily completed just like that!
Side Mission 1: The Caring Little Prodigal. Mission Requirement: Save cute little animals on the verge of dying. Current Progress: 100
/100. Reward: The upgraded title “Animal’s Best Friend.” Title Effect: Host can easily control animals up to fifty kilograms in weight. Title Level: Level Two. Additional explanation: The effect of this mission has been enhanced due to the sincerity of the host in executing the mission.
Enhanced effect: Host can control animals up to fifty kilograms in weight in a complicated manner, forming a heart-to-heart connection with the controlled animals, able to clearly feel the emotions of the controlled animals. Moreover, animals can choose whether or not to share their emotions with someone else within 10 meters radius from the host.
If the previously ordinary title of easily controlling animals up to 50 kilograms in weight were to be rated with 10 points, then this current enhanced effect would definitely be worth 100 points!
Not saying anything about the complicated control portion, but the key was the connecting and sharing of emotions!
It was very obvious that the System wanted to let humans truly feel the thoughts of the animals which were humans’ best friends. Because only through understanding their inner thoughts could humans themselves truly come to like animals from the bottom of their heart.
“This system upgrade is awesome!” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “I can now feel the inner thoughts of animals? I’m not sure how it’s like…” Thinking up to this point, Hong Dali lowered his head, looked at Quentin in his arms, and decisively chose the heart-to-heart connection.
“Connect!”
Just then, the System in his head displayed two options: “Single, Group.”
“This…” Hong Dali chose Single. “I’ll choose Single first, in case it scares other people…”
Afterward, he came to understand Quentin’s inner thoughts…
Quentin: “Master’s body is really warm. I’m so happy when I’m with Master. I get to eat beef that smells good, and after I finish eating I can go to sleep. After I wake up, once I get hungry I can act coy and continue to eat. Life is really good…”
This foodie!
Hong Dali almost threw this fellow to the ground! You only know how to eat every day! You’ll eat to death!
Quentin: “Aye? Master seems to be angry, so scary, so scary! This won’t do, I have to hurry up and act coy. If not, it’ll be bad if he doesn’t give me meat tonight!” Soon after, Quentin moved here and there in Hong Dali’s arms, moved and moved…
Hahaha, this little foodie . Hong Dali grinned as he ordered Quentin in his mind: “Little thing, you only know how to eat everyday. Go and get my phone!”
Quentin: “I actually know Master’s thoughts!”
The little tiger was obviously shocked for a while. Soon after, it stared at Hong Dali with its round eyes. Afterward, it obediently jumped down and scratched randomly at the side of Hong Dali’s bag. Tang Muxin, who was hugging Little Meow, stared in bewilderment. “Dali, what is Quentin doing? Finding food?”
“Ah, I asked it to take my phone.” Hong Dali grinned. “I didn’t think that our Quentin would actually understand what I mean! This little fellow has such a high intelligence quotient!”
“Really?!” Tang Muxin was instantly shocked. “Then… Then you ask it to… to…” Tang Muxin could not think of anything to make it do for the moment. Just then, Hong Dali ordered: “Hug the thighs!”
After which, Quentin leaped to Tang Muxin’s side and hugged her thighs at once…
“This… This little rascal…” Tang Muxin was angered to the point where even her arms trembled. “Dali, you rascal, can’t you teach it to do good things!”
All the onlookers broke into side-splitting laughter.
Wahahahaha, looks like this skill is really awesome!
Hong Dali laughed heartily. Soon after, he diverted his gaze to Little Meow in Tang Muxin’s arms.
This little foodie Quentin is so playful. What’s Little Meow thinking about then?
“En…” Hong Dali looked left and right, then acted as if nothing happened as he lay down and said, “Ah, I’m a bit tired. I’ll rest for a while…”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and thought in his mind: “Connect. Group!”
Following the end of this order, everyone present was instantly stunned.
“Is it… Master?” A weak voice sounded in everyone’s minds. The voice was very thin and gentle, and it sounded like an obedient little child. Though it was unknown about where this voice had come from, everyone instantly understood in their hearts who its owner was.
Little Meow.
“I… I seem to be able to feel Master’s thoughts…”
Little Meow’s voice sounded little by little. “Looking at you… Back then I was held carefully by you in your hands… Human temperature turns out to be so warm…
“In order to not let you worry… I tried my best to live…
“It turns out that this world is really beautiful… There are so many new and strange things…
“You’re like my previous Master… You like to use things to play with kittens… But my previous Master didn’t play with me…
“Why am I different from my other brothers and sisters… And even my mother ignores me?
“I’ve always liked to follow this new Master from the back… Because I feel very safe with you…
“Slowly… I’ve grown up…
“Just like my mother in the past… lazily lying down here… squinting my eyes and thinking about food…
“When I just met you… I felt that I couldn’t survive in this world further…
“Nah… new Master… tell me, why is it that just because I’m different… my previous Master abandoned me?
“Nah… Actually, I’ve always wanted to be like an ordinary cat… living on lazily…
“I still remember… I licked your clothes out of curiosity… Indeed, it was your smell…
“The floor is really slippery… many a time, I don’t even need to move my front legs… and I can come to you very soon…
“Though I can’t jump like other cats…
“But actually, I’m the same as them… actually, I can catch mouses too…
“I love looking out from here… The sunlight turns out to be so brilliant…
“Nah… Master… can I run under the sunlight outside like other cats… can I lazily fall asleep under the sun?
“Looking at you… I’m very aware of my situation…
“In order to let me be the same as an ordinary cat… you always play with me so carefully…
“Is human happiness like this…
“Near my resting place… I’m always able to see toys… actually, I can feel your gentleness…
“But I often make a mess out of the toys…
“Seeing that Master can’t bear to blame me… actually, I feel very bad… sorry…
“I won’t make the surroundings messy in future… please forgive me…
“I’m very happy to have met you…
“Had it not been for you… perhaps I wouldn’t be in the world anymore…
“I can’t relaxedly lie down and suntan…
“You like it when I use my abnormal front legs to gently grab you…
“It’s just too great… my expression can make you happy… it’s just too great…
“Recently I realized… that these expressions of mine are what humans call ‘acting cute’…
“Do you still remember? You meticulously helped to bathe me… those naughty pranks… I like them all very much…
“I’m used to looking up to you… looking at you…
“Makes me realize… this world is actually very beautiful… it’s just too great that I’m able to live…
“Thank you… for not leaving me because I’m unique…
“You’ve given me a world… that’s the most beautiful thing…
“I’m scared that I’ll have to leave you someday… but before that… I’ll always cherish our time together…
“All the way till the day when my life ends…
“I’ll always be with you… I won’t let you feel lonely…
“It’s great that I’ve met you in this lifetime… thank you…
“Thank you for giving me a new life…
Tang Muxin did not cry, but her face was covered in tears.
