The girl in the distance had an outstanding appearance and a tall figure. Her waist-length black hair was tied into twin tails with two red hair bands. In addition to the standard uniform, short skirt, and over-the-knee socks of the Magic Academy, she wore a large red coat, which made her look dignified and beautiful. The only thing that seemed odd was a pair of fluffy slippers on her feet.
Clearly, the girl had come in a bit of a hurry, and hadn’t had time to change her boots.
Unknown character (Level 18), Strength: 95, Agility: 39, Intelligence: 92, Constitution: 32, HP: 8200, Magic: 10200, Luck: -2.
Mu You was somewhat stunned by the information reported by the Omniscient Crystal.
The opponent’s level wasn’t surprising, but her attributes were a bit outrageous.
The standard attributes for a Level 18 should be 157, but the opponent’s total attributes reached 258!
That is to say, she had over a hundred extra attribute points, which were obtained from external sources and equipment...
Moreover, as a wizard, why is her strength higher than her intelligence?
Mu You tried to observe her outfit, but the uniform seemed to conceal all of her equipment - though it was clear that she had quite a collection of top-tier gear.
After ascertaining that there was no one else around, you chose to leave the dam and approach the girl.
The girl noticed someone approaching and immediately pointed her Magic Wand at you, her face full of caution as she asked if you were the one who sent the message the night before.
You nodded in admission, assured her that you had no ill intentions, and explained the situation with the cat familiar.
Realizing that you were the Fool whose cat ended up in the Forgotten Land, she became even more wary.
After some hesitation, she didn’t simply believe your words, instead insisting that you provide proof that her familiar was indeed in your possession.
Unsurprised, Mu You took out the memory crystal from the game, went back to his room, and filmed the still-sleeping Cola from multiple angles. He then went to the front door, filmed the busy scene outside to prove that this was indeed the Forgotten Land, and then returned the memory crystal to the game.
You handed the memory crystal to the girl.
After checking it, the girl frowned and her gaze became even more cautious.
The girl straight-up said you were a liar, this was not her cat!
Mu You’s eyelids twitched, and the thing he feared most had happened: Cola’s owner really didn’t recognize her cat!
This was perfectly understandable to Mu You. Given the overweight housecat currently sleeping on the bed, and the slim, agile American Shorthair from the beginning, if he were asked to identify, he would definitely have a hard time believing they were the same cat.
He shouted upstairs, but Cola made no response.
Mu You turned and pressed the cat food machine. In his sleep, Cola’s ears perked up and he sprinted downstairs in less than two seconds, ready to eat. But when he arrived at the automatic feeder and found it empty, he looked at Mu You in confusion: Where’s my food?
Mu You threw the memory crystal to him: "Your owner doesn’t recognize you anymore, figure out a way to identify yourself!"
Cola looked incredulous, quickly hugged the crystal as he pleaded, "Master, it’s me, I am Co... No, I am Sphinx! I’ve been your adorable little cat for seven years, how could you not recognize me? I miss you every day..."
Cola wailed at the camera, but unfortunately, the memory crystal could only record images and normal cat meows. His psychic message did not make it through. In a hurry, he started to act cute in front of the camera as he used to do with his master.
After two minutes of filming, Mu You put away the crystal and returned it to the game.
You handed the memory crystal back to the girl.
After watching it, the girl fell into a long silence...
Mu You was now worried that she would suddenly say something like "I don’t want the cat anymore, you can tear up the ticket".
Fortunately, she didn’t. This lady from the alternate world was quite responsible.
After a moment, the girl sighed and asked if you had a way to bring Sphinx over.
Of course, there was a way. He could travel between the TWO worlds through the door at any time. However, this convenient method had a huge side effect. Once he sent Cola back, it would basically lose its ability to increase its lifespan.
Mu You looked at Cola. The Omniscient Crystal showed that it had more than fifty years of life left, but it was unclear how much of those were its natural lifespan. After all, a cat’s life was not that long.
He then typed out this situation honestly to her.
What surprised him was that she actually had a way.
The girl nodded and said it was okay. Since Sphinx was originally a creature of the Star Spirit World, as long as it was returned, she had a family secret technique for space that could reverse the plane characteristics of the creature back to the original location, thus freeing the cat from the influence of the ’door’...
The girl delivered a rather high-end sounding description, which Mu You admittedly didn’t understand.
But, since she, as the owner, assured she had a method, Mu You simply agreed. They settled on a time, he would bring Cola to her the next time he passed through the door.
You and the girl agreed on the handover of the pet. The girl, being a respected noblewoman from the Star Spirit World, naturally wouldn’t let you go unrewarded and asked what you would like in return. She would do her best to fulfill your request.
Mu You wasn’t raising Cola for a reward, but he did have something he needed her help with right now.
