Chapter 301: The Cat Boss Feels Very Happy
Chapter 301: The Cat Boss Feels Very Happy
Night had fallen, and the lights twinkled in the southern district of Helrom, casting a soft glow on the streets. As the moonlight was obscured by gray clouds, the bustling city began to settle into a calmer rhythm.
Within this magical city filled with supernatural phenomena, a young man from the Protoss Royal Magic Academy walked alone on an empty road lined with courtyards and mansions, not unlike those in the residential areas.
At this late hour, there were hardly any students wandering about.
But Ranchi was an exception.
He had been occupied with official business at the school the entire day.
After a brief visit to the Endless Library with Zestila in the morning, they had returned to the teaching area of the Protoss Royal Academy.
Many teachers sought guidance from Ranchi as the school underwent earth-shattering changes. Some implementation and coordination work still required a decision-maker to finalize ideas or take responsibility.
Fortunately, with his wealth of experience, Ranchi managed everything adeptly, even without an assistant.
As he approached, a courtyard finally came into view.
Several lanterns illuminated the courtyard, their flickering orange light resembling tiny dancing flames. They brought a touch of warmth to the chilly Helrom nights.
The lights in the corridor were also turned on, emitting a soft white glow that created a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.
Ranchi gently pushed open the wrought iron gate. The path beyond was slightly damp with night dew, making it slippery if one didn't watch their step.
Upon reaching his unit, he took off his coat and hung it on the rack before stepping into the living room and lighting the fireplace. The soft cushions on the sofa beckoned to him, inviting him to rest.
"Today has been fulfilling," Ranchi mused.
Gazing out the window, he could hear the howling wind rustling through the treetops.
He took a deep breath, immersing himself in the comfort and tranquility of being sheltered from the cold outdoors.
Even in the quiet of the night, his mind wandered to a particular concern.
Lately, he had been discreetly inquiring about news of Hyberrian, disguised as "Mirian," in the imperial capital of Helrom.
But his efforts had yielded no results.
Based on the direction they had parted ways, she was most likely drifting in the Kingdom of Aisethailand now.
Ranchi was content with his life in the Protoss Empire.
However, Hyberrian was in the southern kingdom, a place with a culture starkly different from Protoss, lacking the sense of order and structure she was used to.
He wondered how she was faring.
He needed to work harder. When she eventually came to the Protoss Empire, he wanted to prepare some surprises for her.
Perhaps the first half of her journey had not been pleasant, but he would do his best to make her remaining time on the northern continent filled with unforgettable memories.
"Ranchi, it's time to sleep," Meow Boss emerged from the shadows and jumped onto the sofa, urging Ranchi, who seemed lost in thought.
Humans needed to eat well and sleep well to stay healthy and happy.
Ranchi slowly snapped out of his reverie and turned his attention back to Meow Boss, suddenly remembering something important.
"Meow Boss, I have something good for you."
"What's that, meow?" The little black cat asked, confused but also wary.
It had been anxious day and night lately.
Although Ranchi seemed to have everything under control wherever he went, it finally understood what Hu Bao meant by a "dangerous career ambition."
Moreover, in the past two days, it seemed that Ranchi intended to wrap up the school reform and head north to work for the Extinction Branch.
Compared to the imperial capital of Helrom, which still maintained order and rules, the northern border, close to the front lines, was a place of terrifying chaos.
The Extinction Saint there was not to be trifled with. He was not only ruthless but also immensely powerful; even ten Ranchis wouldn't be a match for him.
The whereabouts of the recently elusive Extinction Bishop might also be in the north!
Furthermore, there was something ominous about the empire's northern region... It was as if all news and information were completely blocked...
Meow Boss was terrified.
In a multitude of ways, Meow Boss was truly afraid.
Ranchi always went all out, and it absolutely dared not gamble on when Ranchi would go too far!
"Boss Cat, tie this card to yourself."
Ranchi took out a Seventh-Rank Pink Sacred-Grade Spell Card, [Hurricane Dragon's Roar], which he had obtained from the Endless Library that very morning.
"Meow? Meow?!"
Meow Boss froze on the sofa, its mind overwhelmed.
"Are you... giving this to me?"
Its voice trembled slightly as it asked.
"Yes."
Ranchi nodded in confirmation.
He chose high-rank cards precisely because he could rely on Meow Boss as an external card slot.
If he equipped Meow Boss with cards that increased its spirit attribute, it should be able to unleash a Seventh-Rank spell once, even if it exhausted all its mana.
The spirit attribute enhanced one's mana capacity and regeneration speed.
Fortunately, equipment cards that simply boosted spirit weren't expensive. With his recent earnings from his diligent work, Ranchi could afford to buy Meow Boss plenty of such cards at the large magic item shops in the imperial capital of Helrom.
"You're not fooling me, are you, meow?"
Meow Boss' words sped up noticeably, barely containing its surging excitement.
"Of course not."
Ranchi smiled and handed over the Seventh-Rank card, which glowed with a soft pink aura.
"You're the best, Ranchi! Meow meow meow! I'll keep cooking for you!"
Meow Boss hugged the card tightly, its happiness overflowing as it soul-bound the card to itself.
Seventh-Rank Pink Sacred-grade spell cards were virtually priceless on the market.
On rare occasions, the Southern Continent branch of the Ikelite Card Crafting Association might auction off a Second- or Third-Rank Pink Sacred-grade card for an astronomical sum.
Even if it sold its restaurant and spent all its savings, Meow Boss wouldn't be able to afford one.
And the higher the rank of the card, the more absurd the price became. For instance, it had never dared to buy a Seventh-Rank Blue Rare card for itself.
Yet, here was Ranchi, casually gifting it a Seventh-Rank Sacred card!
By sticking with Ranchi, who knew, one day it might be decked out in Purple and Pink cards itself! Its future as a cat was looking bright!
"Alright, tie this one to yourself as well; you can use it for now."
After seeing Meow Boss bind [Hurricane Dragon's Roar], Ranchi took out another white, ordinary-quality card and handed it over.
"What's this?"
Meow Boss used telekinetic magic to take the card.
[Fake Slate - Wind].
It now felt a bit disdainful of ordinary white cards.
"What does this card do?"
Meow Boss examined the enigmatic First-Rank white card, unable to discern any effects or feel any enhancements after binding it.
It seemed like a blank tool card.
"It adds special effects to wind-attribute magic. When you help me cast [Hurricane Dragon's Roar], it will be especially terrifying. It might even scare enemies away, though it could also trigger a full-scale manhunt and large-scale unrest, so we can't use [Hurricane Dragon's Roar] indiscriminately."
Ranchi gave a serious warning.
"Oh oh oh! That's fantastic!"
Meow Boss happily accepted the card.
So this was a skill skin card.
Ranchi always liked to make all sorts of bizarre artistic cards; it had seen the skin cards he made for the Great Poet before.
Now it finally understood the use of such cards.
However, Ranchi was definitely exaggerating their effectiveness.
Last time, the Seventh-Rank [Sonic Seal Barrier] had merely scared off a Fifth-Rank Silver-Armored Priest.
If they truly encountered a Seventh- or Eighth-Rank powerhouse, no amount of extra effects on a single Seventh-Rank spell would faze them!
But...
As long as it didn't involve following Ranchi into some major calamity, it had no worries at all.
Tonight, it would be too happy to sleep!
