Amitabha Buddha, may God bless me with a smooth and fulfilling life.
"Wahahaha, hahahaha~"

"Hey Wang, what are you laughing at? Why are you laughing like that?"
"That's so perverted!"
Wang Changsheng's outrageous and exaggerated laughter echoed and reverberated throughout the underground library, causing Xiaoying and Xiaoke to twitch their lips uncontrollably.
Sakura was somewhat restrained; there were some things she was too shy to say.
However, Xiao Ke had just been toyed with by Xiao Ying and then mocked by Wang Changsheng. Its anger was burning up, so it could say the things that Xiao Ying couldn't.
Not only did it speak, but it also mixed in its own anger and sorrow, along with a few spittles, which it then spit at Wang Changsheng.
"Huh? Cough cough cough~"
Hearing their words, Wang Changsheng paused, snapping out of his reverie about the future, and coughed twice.
"Speak up, you little mouse-like thing, aren't you going to explain what you are? (??ω??)"

Xiao Ke's lips twitched. It noticed the two little brats who had woken it from its slumber—
They're all bastards! <(｀^′)>
One ravages it physically, the other attacks it mentally.
It was so angry that it felt it was about to regain control of the sun's power.
That fire is huge!
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!" Xiao Ke glared fiercely at Wang Changsheng.
This time, however, it didn't say anything else. Instead, it sat on the magic book with its legs crossed and began to explain to the two of them in a very aggressive tone.
"I'm not a mouse! I'm not some little mouse!" Koko said in his Osaka accent, tossing his head and proudly raising it.
It announced its home address to the two people with a strong voice.
"I am the sealing beast of the Clow Book, named Cerberus. I am here to protect this spellbook!" Cerberus kicked his short legs, his arrogant demeanor making Wang Changsheng's lips twitch involuntarily.
This guy
Hearing Kero's words, Sakura couldn't help but ask, "What are Sealed Beasts? And what is the Clow Book?"
"(`へ′)Hmph!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke immediately hugged her arms and then turned her head to the other side.
Looking at its large, raised head, Wang Changsheng was genuinely worried that the creature might twist its neck.
He waited for Xiao Ke to continue while observing its arrogant expression.
Suddenly, Wang Changsheng discovered something.
"So you don't have a neck?"
"I"
Just as Xiao Ke was about to continue explaining to Xiao Ying, Wang Changsheng's sudden words stunned it once again.
Message: Your friendly communication is almost beyond words!
Message: You have obtained a Saint-level item—the Ultra Crystal!
Message: Negative points from Cerberus +998
Tiga Crystal
Quality: Saint-level item
Ability 1: Transformation. As a cub, Tiga has lost all his abilities except for his still-thick skin and tough flesh. He needs to gradually recover them. The Tiga Crystal will become a source of power, helping Tiga return to his peak. The first step is to allow little Tiga to change color (and become... well, you know).
Ability 2: Identifying the culprit. The Ultra Crystal can be used in conjunction with a color timer to pierce through the void and find the true identity of the target.
Ability 3: Magic Transfer. Through the Tiga Crystal, one can transform the magic power stored within the crystal into pure magic power and transfer it to others.
PS: The converted magic power will be somewhat reduced, but as a Saint-level item, the Tiga Crystal can convert owned magic power into unowned magic power with maximum efficiency, and it has a large amount of space to store a large amount of unowned magic power.
Xiao Ke glanced at Wang Changsheng, seemingly speechless. She didn't refute him, but simply touched her neck.
(?ε?｀) It really seems like I don't have a neck.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ke snorted coldly, then ignored Wang Changsheng and turned her gaze back to Xiao Ying.
"As a sealing beast, it is my duty to protect the Clow Cards in this spellbook," Kero explained.
"Clow Cards? What are those?" Sakura asked immediately after hearing Kero's words.
"Those are playing cards with powerful magic. I was sealed in this magic book not only to protect them, but also to keep an eye on them and prevent them from escaping from the book and causing trouble."
Xiao Ke speaks extremely fast, her thick Osaka accent rattling off in rapid succession.
But as it was talking, it suddenly seemed to remember something and froze.
"Yeah, I was supposed to be sealed inside a magic book, how did I get out?"
"Huh? I need a bean bag!"
A terrible premonition instantly flooded Xiao Ke's heart, and its little body froze.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ke slowly flew up from the magic book, and then its round, yellow head turned around as if it had rusted.
However, the visions in the magic book confirmed its worst thoughts.
「Σ┗(＠ロ＠;)┛!!!」
"Where are the Clow Cards? Where are my Clow Cards?!"
Xiao Ke's exclamation was tinged with a sense of shattering pain; its beady eyes visibly widened, and its facial expression was truly remarkable.
His face was ashen, his expression turned to sorrow, sorrow welled up from within, and it came on fiercely.
"Oh dear~ What's going on? The sealing beast that was supposed to seal the Clow Cards failed to seal them and escaped from the spellbook itself?"
Message: Your level of friendly communication is so high I'd call it the originator of sarcastic sarcasm!

"Get out of here!!!"
Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Xiao Ke roared and then frantically began to frantically search for the magic book.
"Where did the cards go? Where did the cards go???" Xiao Ke's shrill and furious wail rang out.
Seeing that it seemed genuinely anxious, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Is it really that bad to say something so provocative?
Wang Changsheng felt his conscience was inexplicably condemned, and he felt somewhat remorseful.
However, while he hesitated, he glanced at the system notification again.
After a two-second pause, Wang Changsheng said
You'll dare to do it again next time!
After all, we finally caught a live point-farming machine like Xiao Ke, how could we let him go so easily?
What is conscience?
I just threw it to the dog to eat?!
This time, Xiao Ke brought him nearly two thousand negative points again, breaking the previous record of 1748!
"Amitabha Buddha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, although I am forced to have this 'friendly' exchange with you, I hope that God in Heaven will bless this generous Xiao Ke with peace, joy, and all things going smoothly in this life."
