"noob……"
Xia Zhi had just uttered that name.
Rosalia and Barbara felt something white flash past their eyes.
Then, the two of them saw a white cat rush out of the room and jump directly into Xia Zhi's arms.
"Meow meow meow……"
The white cat tilted its head back, opened its mouth, and made an extremely cloying sound.
It seems to be expressing its frustration that its owner only remembered to look for it after it had been missing for several days.
Xia Zhi reached out and stroked the white cat in his arms, comforting it, "It's alright, I'll take you back in a bit."
Rosalia's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but she still didn't say anything.
Barbara looked at the white cat curiously and said, "It seems that this cat must be the one that Mr. Xia lost."
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to find Xiaobai so quickly. I'm really grateful to Miss Barbara for providing the information."
Barbara waved her hand and laughed, "It's nothing, no need to thank me. Mr. Xia even gave me some singing pointers before."
Xia Zhi then turned to Rosalia and said, "I am also very grateful to this nun for taking care of Xiaobai for me these past few days."
Rosalia watched as the cat, who had been huddled together for warmth just last night, jumped into someone else's arms right in front of her. With her arms crossed and expressionless, she replied, "You're welcome."
Xia Zhi glanced at her from God's perspective.
It wasn't because crossing his arms would create a great view; he'd seen that so many times in the cat's world that he wasn't really interested.
Rather, it's because the gesture of crossing one's arms over one's chest generally implies resistance in psychology.
In other words, although the ice-elemental nun in front of him seemed calm and composed, she might be cursing him in her heart.
After chatting for a while, Xia Zhi and Barbara said goodbye and left.
Rosalia stood at the doorway, silently watching the two figures disappear into the distance.
From the moment they met until they parted, the cat never looked at her directly again.
That faithless cat...
Rosalia remembered something.
That night, she was taking a walk outside with her cat when she saw Xia Zhi and Noelle together, so she followed them.
If the cat really is his, then when it finally sees its owner, the cat should have shown some excitement.
The problem is that the cat was very quiet back then, and didn't act as clingy as it does today.
Rosalia felt that something seemed wrong.
But she was just secretly following behind the two of them and didn't show herself, so she can't openly talk about it now.
Once the two figures were completely out of sight, Rosalia quietly returned to her room, closed the door, and...
Just a few steps away, you'll see a cat bowl placed against the wall, still containing milk and jerky.
Rosalia felt a little uneasy.
She sighed, then walked over and picked up the pipe that was lying in the corner.
Smoke rose into the room again.

“Miss Barbara, there’s actually a question I’ve always wanted to ask you.”
"What questions?"
"I've heard you use the word 'idol' several times, but I don't know where you heard it from."
"Oh, actually I saw this in an idol magazine."
"An idol magazine?"
"Yes, Aunt Alice showed it to me back then."
It was from that time that Barbara learned that there was such a profession, the job of which was to try to be loved by everyone.
Outstanding idols not only bring joy, but can also heal people's hearts through their singing and dancing.
So Barbara embarked on her singing career.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder if that idol magazine is still around?"
"It's still there. Mr. Xia, are you interested in that magazine?"
"I'm somewhat interested."
"Then when I get back, I'll find it and give it to Mr. Xia."
"Thank you."
Barbara waved and left.
Xia Zhi called Qin again to tell her that the cat had been found and that the Knights of the West no longer needed to keep an eye out for anything.
Qin smiled and congratulated him.
Back home, the girls were very curious about the white cat that Xia Zhi had brought back.
Xia Zhi briefly explained its origin and then gave it to Diona to take care of.
Diona's eyes lit up as she hugged the cat, and she generously shared her favorite dried fish with it.
At that moment, Xia Zhi's phone received another message.
It was sent by Noelle. She said that Senior Yura had finished her guerrilla mission and was working part-time at the apothecary these past two days.
Since we had nothing to do in the afternoon, we all went to the pharmacy together to take a look and give Yura a cell phone.
We passed by the Adventurers' Guild on the way.
A boy with bright white hair and green goggles called out to Fischl.
Fischl turned around and saw it was Commander Bennett.
With his signature warm smile on his face, he asked, "Fischl, why haven't I seen you around these past few days?"
Fischl looked at him and couldn't help but recall the time she had met King Chuchurai outside the city.
Although there was no evidence to suggest that her sudden bad luck was due to joining Benny's Adventurers' Guild, the fact that everyone who joined the guild seemed to become unlucky forced her to believe in this mystical explanation that she had initially scoffed at.
Fischl paused for a moment, then said, "I've been quite busy lately."
Bennett didn't mind and nodded with a smile, "I see. Then you go ahead and do your thing. If you need my help, just let me know!"
Xia Zhi, from God's perspective, observed with great interest this unlucky adventurer leader whom Fischl had once mentioned.
A golden progress bar is hanging on his body.
Based on experience, he must have some kind of extremely special destiny or constitution.
Xia Zhi selected his figure from God's perspective.
The system's voice echoed in his mind.
"Use [Learn from Others] on the target?"
"Yes."
"Successfully used [Steal] skill and learned the skill [World's Outcast] from the target."
"【The Abandoned by the World】: Passive, Luck value is always 0. Your actions will go against the will of the world and will reduce the luck value of those around you. The closer the relationship between you and the other party, the more their luck value will be reduced."
Xia Zhi looked at the skill descriptions on the system panel, then glanced at his luck value, which had suddenly dropped to 0, and felt a surge of emotions.
It's also a negative passive effect that reduces luck, but this one is much more severe than Shen He's [Lonely Star] (which reduces the luck of those around him by 75%). I don't know how this boy managed to grow up safely with a luck value of 0.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that the process was incredibly inspiring.
Xia Zhi chose to disable this passive skill directly.
The luck value on the panel instantly returned from 0 to its original extremely high value.
Xia Zhi walked over and said, "Fischl, who is this?"
Fischl quickly introduced, "His name is Bennett, he's the leader of the adventure team, and this is my friend, Mr. Xia."
Bennett gave Xia Zhi a bright, sunny smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xia."
Xia Zhi nodded: "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Bennett."
After just this simple contact with Bennett, Xia Zhi saw that his luck stat had been affected and had begun to slowly decline.
Meanwhile, the gold progress bar hanging on him was also slowly increasing.
This progress bar is suspicious; let's leave it for now.
After a brief chat, Xia Zhi and Fischl said goodbye and left.
Bennett watched Fischl's retreating figure, scratched his head, and began to worry again about recruiting new members for the adventure party.
