38: Chapter 38 Crush the Petty-minded 38: Chapter 38 Crush the Petty-minded “Beep—malice detected from Long Xuan +500.”

When Lu Zixun entered the testing site and was observing the surroundings, he heard the System Prompt Sound and immediately turned his head toward Long Xuan with a hostile look in his eyes.

Through the glass door, Long Xuan could naturally see Lu Zixun, but seeing the look in Lu Zixun’s eyes, Long Xuan scoffed disdainfully.

“Are you ready?”

Zeng Xiaoxiao, standing beside Long Xuan, asked while focusing her gaze on Lu Zixun.

With an indifferent nod, Lu Zixun diverted his gaze and began to prepare very cautiously.

It was clear from the look of this Long Xuan that he was up to no good; Lu Zixun despised him immensely, being so petty even towards a cat.

Once he got out, he’d take care of him properly!

“Mmm.”

Seeing Lu Zixun nod, Zeng Xiaoxiao responded and turned to Long Xuan, “Let’s start.”

Long Xuan’s lips slightly curled up into a malicious smile, he tapped a few times on the control panel and then pushed the lever up.

At the same time, all the hair on Lu Zixun’s body bristled, and an immense oppressive force hit him, making it momentarily difficult for him to breathe.

“Damn it.”

He cursed inwardly, certain that something was off with this oppressive force.

Lu Zixun, who could withstand attacks from Aliens, couldn’t possibly be so overwhelmed by a mere testing device.

As the oppressive feeling intensified, Lu Zixun’s eyes darkened, and he activated his Infinite Strength.

His previously weak paws filled with power, and his slightly bent body suddenly stood upright.

He looked up through the glass at Long Xuan; his eyes grew even more unfriendly.

Such a person, petty even towards a cat, let alone towards people.

It baffled Lu Zixun how such a person could work in the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau.

Seeing Lu Zixun withstand the pressure of a Level C Genetic Optimization Soldier, a cold light flashed in Long Xuan’s eyes, and he tapped some more on the control panel.

Beside him, Zeng Xiaoxiao sensed something wrong and frowned, “What level is the pressure at now?”

“Just Level D, I was mistaken earlier.”

Long Xuan maintained his expression and explained dismissively.

The moment Long Xuan increased the pressure, Lu Zixun felt like a mountain was on his back, his bones creaking loudly.

“Damn bastard.”

Grinding his teeth, he yelled and immediately activated his Steel Body.

Then using the speed of Flash, he transformed into a lightning bolt and crashed directly into the glass.

“Crack.”

The sound of glass shattering rang in his ears, and Lu Zixun broke through the glass, leaping out of the testing area.

Amidst Long Xuan’s terrified look, Lu Zixun, now a giant cat, swung a paw and pinned Long Xuan to the ground.

Long Xuan spat out blood, knocked unconscious by Lu Zixun’s blow.

Beside them, Zeng Xiaoxiao instinctively took two steps back, her eyes wide with terror watching Lu Zixun.

At that moment, Lu Zixun felt a killing intent targeting him and instantly knew it must be Zeng Haoyang coming.

He shrank his body and guarded his face with his paws.

“Stop!”

The voice came before he appeared.

“Boom!”

A huge fireball roared in and struck Lu Zixun’s paws.

The fur around his paws got singed by the flames, and Lu Zixun was sent flying backward, hitting the metal wall.

“Dammit, old man!

Why do you always resort to violence?!

Can’t we talk this out?”

Looking down at his paws, Lu Zixun angrily roared at Zeng Haoyang.

Hearing Lu Zixun’s voice, Zeng Haoyang’s fireball dissipated.

Frowning, he turned to Zeng Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, what’s going on here?”

With her grandfather present, Zeng Xiaoxiao calmed down, swallowed her saliva, and said somewhat shaken, “It was all going well with the test until Long Xuan increased the suppressive pressure, and the Orange Cat suddenly burst out.”

After learning about the situation, Zeng Haoyang quickly walked over to the control panel and looked at the displayed pressure level, his eyes gradually turning cold, “Good one, Long Xuan, very impressive.”

Heartbrokenly licking his paws, Lu Zixun snorted.

Now that his feeling value could upgrade to a second-level store or a Level 2 System, once he got a powerful superpower, he would definitely beat up this old man.

Hearing Lu Zixun’s snort, Zeng Haoyang felt a bit awkward.

In this situation, Zeng Haoyang had instinctively thought it was Lu Zixun’s fault, only to find out it was Long Xuan.

That cat was quite vain, especially about his fur, which was his prized possession.

Thinking it over, Zeng Haoyang pulled out a test tube from his bag and threw it to Lu Zixun.

“Drink this, and your fur will be back in a day.

Stop grumbling.”

Pretending to be serious, Zeng Haoyang handed it to Lu Zixun, then picked up Long Xuan from the ground.

“Xiaoxiao, take Lu Zixun to collect his equipment.

I’ll go find the Long Family for a discussion.”

Turning his head to Zeng Xiaoxiao, Zeng Haoyang’s eyes flashed with a cold light, “They dare to pull this kind of stunt in the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau, I want to see what that old geezer has to say!”

“Calling someone an ‘old geezer,’ you’re a curmudgeon yourself.”

Using his paw to hold the test tube and his mouth to bite it open, Lu Zixun downed it in one go and tossed the tube aside, then looked up at Zeng Haoyang’s retreating figure and made a sarcastic comment.

Unbeknownst to him, Zeng Haoyang turned a deaf ear as if he hadn’t heard a thing, walking straight out of the room, giving Lu Zixun a feeling of being abandoned.

His whiskers twitched twice, and Lu Zixun huffed.

This curmudgeon wasn’t the type who was unreasonable, so he might as well stick with him.

Upon receiving her grandfather’s instructions, Zeng Xiaoxiao cautiously approached Lu Zixun.

She reached out to hold Lu Zixun but then pulled her hand back, apparently still scared of him.

“What are you doing, miss?”

Lu Zixun was confused by Zeng Xiaoxiao’s strange behavior.

“Nothing…” Hearing Lu Zixun’s voice, Zeng Xiaoxiao shrank her neck, “Just, kinda scared of you.”

“Huh?”

Lu Zixun had a puzzled face, looking at Zeng Xiaoxiao, “Scared of me?

Why?

I’m so cute.”

Tilting her head and thinking, Zeng Xiaoxiao realized that made some sense and bent down to pick up Lu Zixun, “People naturally feel intimidated when facing creatures larger than themselves.”

“I get bigger, but I’m still fluffy.

What’s there to be afraid of?”

Being held in Zeng Xiaoxiao’s arms, Lu Zixun’s tail swept across her arm.

“That may be true, but it’s human to still feel scared.”

The two, a human and a cat, chatted while heading to the area where the equipment was stored.

Zeng Xiaoxiao typed in the password and pressed her fingerprint, and the metal doors slid open.

Looking at the equipment inside, Lu Zixun’s mouth hung open slightly.
