Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 379: Mission Reward: Cat-Eared Girl x1

But...

Watching Lynn at a loss for words, Miaomiao blinked and resumed her lighthearted demeanor. She grabbed Lynn's two fingers, sitting there obediently, and said,

"It might indeed be a little greedy, because even though I've already received so much care and help from Brother, I still can't help wanting more..."

Her eyes became gentle and dreamy.

"Because Brother is truly the person in this world, besides Mommy, who is the gentlest to Miaomiao. So, Miaomiao really wants to have a closer relationship with Brother, meow."

She reached out and hugged his chest, pressing her face against Lynn's body, looking up with eyes full of a radiance and ripples that made it hard to refuse.

It was trust and dependence.

"Miaomiao doesn't want to do anything else, Miaomiao just wants to be Brother's pet. Miaomiao greedily wants to receive Brother's affection, wants Brother to hold me forever, meow."

She buried her face hard into Lynn's embrace like a child, as if trying to blend into him, filled inside and out with her attachment to Lynn.

And almost the moment her words finished, a system prompt sounded in Lynn's ears.[Ding! You have triggered a stage-based choice mission: Miaomiao's Future. Mission reward: Base EXP +1000, Black Skull Coins x1, Special Reward x1]

[Mission One: Accept Miaomiao's request, become the master Miaomiao likes, give her love. Additional reward: Cat-Eared Girl x1]

[Mission Two: Reject Miaomiao's request, and explain the pros and cons to persuade Miaomiao. Additional reward: Special Item x1, Miaomiao leaves.]

[Mission Three: Harshly reject Miaomiao's request, and tell Miaomiao you do not like pets. Outcome: Miaomiao leaves, heartbroken and disappointed.]

Looking at these three missions given by the System, Lynn's eyes slowly filled with nothing but complexity.

He gazed at the cat in his arms who was trying so hard to become the version he would like, his heart feeling like a mixed spice jar had been overturned, saying with complexity,

"Miaomiao, if you want a family..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Miaomiao in his arms.

"No, Brother." Miaomiao looked up, her eyes misty. "Miaomiao doesn't want to be Brother's family, Miaomiao only wants to be Brother's pet, meow."

Lynn said with complexity, "But why must you be my pet? Miaomiao, don't you want others to treat you equally?"

Miaomiao's eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons as she blinked. "Miaomiao doesn't want Brother's equal treatment, Miaomiao only wants to be Brother's little sidekick, to eat well and be lazy, meow! Of course, if Brother thinks raising Miaomiao is too difficult, Miaomiao will quietly forage for food herself, meow."

Lynn felt unsettled.

Because he had just dissolved that almost master-servant-like contract with Miss Puppet.

And now Miaomiao placed such a difficult problem before him again.

He knew Miaomiao had no ill intentions. It was just because of yesterday's events that she developed an attachment to him, thinking he was a very good, very close person.

And no matter what Miaomiao herself became, deep in her heart, she remained unshaken in believing she was just a little cat.

And what a little cat likes, isn't it just acting spoiled in its master's embrace?

Lynn was immensely complex, filled with hesitation.

It wasn't that he was unwilling. If Miaomiao were still her previous form, whether a little cat or an Akita dog, he certainly wouldn't mind having one more cute, adorable pet.

But now Miaomiao was a cat-eared girl.

The nature of this changed immediately.

Because treating such a form as a pet would be filled with a sense of immoral guilt. You could hold a cat or dog in your arms and pet their fur, but try petting a cat-eared girl?

Things could escalate in a minute, right before your eyes!

Lynn almost instantly remembered Miaomiao nestled in his quilt when he woke up earlier. She might not think anything of it, but for him, this was something that could easily lead to... something happening.

Seeing the hesitation and uncertainty in Lynn's eyes.

Miaomiao's eyebrows slowly drooped sadly, and then tears, like pearls, began to fall one by one, pattering onto Lynn's legs.

"Is Brother really so averse to Miaomiao, meow?"

Seeing Miaomiao's large tears gushing out as if they cost nothing.

Lynn felt that damnable headache in his heart.

"I already said it's not that!"

"Then why is Brother still hesitating? If Brother really doesn't like pets, then there's no meaning for Miaomiao to stay here, meow."

"Miaomiao can only go back to being a poor stray cat, meow!"

Miaomiao wiped her tears hard, then struggled to jump down from Lynn's arms.

Then, sobbing, hugging her tail, she began walking towards the door at a speed of two meters per minute.

Crying so heartbreakingly.

Heartbroken as if she were about to die.

Lynn took a deep breath, rubbing his temples hard, feeling that damnable headache, saying,

"Come back!"

Pat pat pat pat—

Miaomiao immediately came trotting back quickly.

"Yes!" She blinked, standing at attention before Lynn, looking up at Lynn sitting on the chair, her two cat ears flapping perkily.

Looking at this obedient demeanor, her tameness level was probably already maxed out!

And she was so cunningly clever!

"Brother still couldn't bear to let Miaomiao become an unwanted stray cat, meow~"

Miaomiao happily wagged her tail.

"No." Lynn took a deep breath, squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth, feeling that damnable headache, saying,

"If you want to leave, at least put on some clothes! Running out bare-naked like that, people who don't know would think I did something utterly wicked to you, meow!"

Miaomiao blinked, standing obediently before him wagging her tail,

But that expression clearly said, I don't understand, I don't understand, Miaomiao doesn't understand anything~

And things had already reached this point. Lynn knew he had no way back, because if he really chose the second or third mission, Miaomiao would definitely leave.

None of them were good outcomes.

If it really came to that, then everything he did for her yesterday would have been meaningless.

So what remained could only be...

Lynn took a forceful deep breath, finally making a great determination, forcibly enduring the immense sense of immorality and guilt, saying,

"Fine then, Miaomiao. If you really want to, Brother isn't completely against adopting you..."

A bright light appeared in Miaomiao's eyes.

[Ding! Miaomiao's Affinity towards you +30]

[Ding! Miaomiao's Trust towards you +30]

[Ding! Miaomiao's Tameness +30]

[Ding! ...]

"Wait." Lynn raised a hand, closing his eyes. "Don't rush to express your feelings. Since you want to be my cat, there are a few points you must remember. Otherwise, I absolutely won't let you be my pet."

"What are they, meow?" Miaomiao asked eagerly, almost impatient.

Lynn raised one finger, eyes closed.

"First, you must wear clothes in front of others."

Miaomiao blinked. Understood. Except in front of Master.

"Second, don't casually lick others with slurpy licks."

Miaomiao blinked and nodded vigorously. Mhm mhm, only lick Master, meow.

"Third, don't casually climb into other people's beds."

Miaomiao (｡･ω･｡) moved her ears. Mhm mhm, only climb into Master's bed, meow.

Lynn opened his eyes, serious. "Can you do these three things? If you can, I'll agree to your request."

Did this even need an answer?

With a joyful "meow," Miaomiao instantly jumped up, leaping onto Lynn's lap with immense happiness, hugging Lynn's chest, rubbing against Lynn affectionately like a little cat.

"Master!" Miaomiao affectionately acted spoiled.

The corner of Lynn's mouth twitched, eyes closed. "Just call me Brother. Master isn't very comfortable."

"Master Brother!" Miaomiao obediently meowed.

Lynn: "..."

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the stage-based choice mission. You have obtained system rewards: Base EXP +1000, Black Skull Coins x1, Cat-Eared Girl x1, Special Reward: Soul-Calming Bell x1]

[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking Miaomiao's route third stage mission: Family and Revenge.]

[Mission Introduction]: Help Miaomiao find her long-missing family, and kill Plague Doctor No. 315 and the organizer of the flesh and blood transformation.

[Mission Reward]: Base EXP 10,000, Black Skull Coins x10, Special Legendary Reward x1

Along with the system prompt ringing in his ears.

Lynn could roughly anticipate this.

Because he had already accepted Miaomiao's request.

And this route also pointed towards the Flesh and Blood Dominator and their minions. Whether there was a reward or not, having one was of course great, but even without, he would strive to do it.

Just...

Lynn distractedly waved the Cat Teaser, watching Miaomiao's eyeballs follow the stick left and right without blinking. Lynn felt a sense of loss.

Was it really good to suddenly gain a cat-eared girl pet?

He had absolutely no experience in this area.

After all, compared to real little cats and dogs, cat-eared girls and such, it's really easy to...

Ps: Miaomiao's route takes a pause. The puppet route isn't urgent. The angel route will unfold later. The Little One route is more distant. Most foreshadowing is complete. Preparing to start the main storyline. Previewing the fifth VIP group member. Keywords: Unnamable, Writhing Mystery.
