    They had been inside the living room for the past few minutes.


    The paper box had been opened as it was ced quietly on the table.


    “Meow~ Mew~”


    An orange tabby kitten with faint white stripes licked its paw as it tried its best to stand up. However, it kept falling down regardless.


    It seemed to be half a month old and perhaps had just started weaning.


    Zhang Xiaotong stared at the little kitten as her eyes shone brightly, and her face was filled with happiness.


    Liu Zng rubbed his chin as he shook his head and said depressingly, “This is too small. Both of us won’t be full with just this.”


    “Hmph!” Zhang Xiaotong frowned as she shook her head. “You’re not getting any of it!”


    “Are you nning to have it all for yourself?” Liu Zng questioned.


    Zhang Xiaotong said nothing as she stared furiously at Liu Zng.


    “Hehe. I’m just joking. I’m just joking.” Liu Zngughed. “Where did this kittene from? Did you pick it up from the streets?”


    “Yumeng’s cat gave birth and she gave one to me.” Zhang Xiaotong pouted.


    “Ah. No wonder you’re back sote today.” Everything clicked in Liu Zng’s head as he continued questioning her, “However, I do remember that auntie didin’t approve of you having a pet kitten, right?”


    A few years ago when Zhang Xiaotong had just moved in, she had a pet cat as no one had the time to keep herpany in the house.


    The little girl was extremely blissful as she would hug the cat day and night, even when she was sleeping.


    She was wed one day for some reason and the family gave the cat away. From then on, she never had another pet.


    Liu Zng did not expect her to secretly bring a kitten back at such an hour. No wonder she was acting so mysteriously.


    Zhang Xiaotong looked rather anxious as she heard Liu Zng’s words and replied hurriedly, “Don’t... don’t you tell on me!”


    Liu Zng nted his lips.


    ‘Tell on her?


    ‘Am I such a person?’


    “Fine fine! I won’t tell auntie about it, but you have to be careful and not get scratched again.” Liu Zng smiled with his eyes. “Oh right, does this kitten have a name yet?”


    “No... Not yet.”


    Zhang Xiaotong pondered for a while before replying softly.


    After some time, her eyes shone brightly as she turned around and looked at Liu Zng before setting her eyes onto the little kitten once more. The kitten was licking its paw inside the box as she said excitedly, “I’m going to call it Orange!”


    “Orange?” Liu Zng crooked the edge of his lips as he shook his head. “That name is toome.”


    Perhaps it was not too happy about its orange fur that was all over its body.


    Would it not be an insult that would hurt its soul if its name were Orange?


    Perhaps Zhang Xiaotong found the name rather bad as well as she pouted and said unhappily, “You’re the one who’sme. Hmph! What do you think it should be called then?”


    “About that...” Liu Zng could note up with a name on the spot.


    However, he soon snickered, “Why... why don’t we call it onii-chan?”


    “O...nii-chan?” Zhang Xiaotong was confused but she immediately understood as her face blushed. “I don’t want to name it that!”


    She said embarrassingly as she hugged the box and began to head into her room.


    “I’m just joking. Onii-chan isn’t a good name!” Liu Zng stopped joking immediately the moment he noticed she was throwing a fit. “Ms. Zhang Xiaotong, have you realized what colour this kitten is the same as?”


    Zhang Xiaotong turned around and said confusingly as she heard Liu Zng’s serious tone, “Simr... to what?”


    Liu Zng pped as he said, “The 98K! Why don’t you call it 98K! It sounds so cool!”


    It was obvious that Zhang Xiaotong had taken a liking toward the 98K as she would not let go of one the moment she found it in the game.


    Her eyes were filled with bliss the moment Liu Zng finished speaking!


    However, she forced herself to pout and muttered, “Hmph... What kind of name is that...”


    She then turned around and happily made her way into her room.


    Liu Zng was used to her arrogance as he shook his head and smiled before he headed back into his room.


    It was a nightmare for him for the few days that followed...


    Zhang Xiaotong was deeply in love with the orange kitten as it loved humanpanionship. However, this little girl was a chatan as she had no idea how to take care of the kitten.


    Liu Zng had no choice but to do all the hard work.


    This youngdy imed that since Liu Zng was the one who blessed it with the name 98K, he had to fulfill his responsibility toward it as well.


    ‘I blessed its name?


    ‘What sort of eighth-grade speech syndrome is this?’


    Liu Zng could do nothing but me himself as his face sunk.


    Hence, Liu Zng would rush back home after he finished his ss and live stream to take care of the peevish and yful young 98K which constantly craved his attention.


    While such orange cats are better when they are fat ¹ , they are rather cute when they are young.


    It was extremely cute when it raised up its tiny and wobbly head. Its round eyes, rich expression, and small movements it made with its paw were criminally cute.


    The viewers from the live stream were instantly taken in by the little kitten.


    Liu Zng’s subscriber count had been hovering around sixty-three thousand thest time he was rmended on the front page. However, his subscriber count had increased steadily to seventy-thousand without the influence of any rmendation. This made Liu Zng realize that humans could never bepared to kittens.


    Liu Zng’s live stream uploaded a new sound effect as well, which was “Awoo~”.


    Whenever 98K meowed at the camera, the viewers would y artificial music in the bullet screen.


    The screen would be filled with “Awoos” and it looked extremely cute!


    Everyone came to an agreement that even though the kitten had an extremely cool name, 98K its mew was too soft.


    It had to be switched to “Awoo” to maintain its dominance!


    What could Liu Zng do in such a situation?


    He could only agree with them!


    ‘If you like to howl that much, just do it...’


    ...


    When Thursday arrived, Liu Zng made an appointment with GodV and they met at 4AM’s Jianghai recreational club. They had to take portraits as participating yers and they had to film their squad’s promotional video.


    The PUBG’s Asia Qualifier would begin on Friday.


    Since the tournament would affect the ranking of Asia Region’s Jianghai World Invitational Tournament, 4AM viewed the tournament highly. Hence Liu Zng did not y much in the public queue as he trained together with his squad.


    There was nothing much to say about the portrait photoshoot as all he needed to do was wear their squad’s jersey while the camera clicked away chaotically as he posed randomly.


    However, when it was time for the promotional video, the photographer did not prepare any arrogant speeches for them to promote themselves.


    “Since this is the first PUBG international tournament and none of us have any experience, we’ll do our best.”


    GodV looked very calm andposed in front of the camera after a few attempts.


    “Regardless of the oue, I think it’ll be a valuable experience for all of us since we’ll be able to fight against the strongest squads from their respective countries in Asia. ” Cpt was very humble.


    “PUBG is an FPS game like no other before and this is our opportunity to do it right! We won’t let you down!”


    Aluka gripped his right fist tightly as he expressed his motivation.


    When it was Liu Zng’s turn, he stood in front of the camera and rubbed his hands. “Is... is there any restriction?”


    The photographer sent by the tournamentmittee waved his hand and replied, “Nothing. It’s up to your imagination.”


    “Okay!” Liu Zng nodded.


    As the camera started recording, he cleared his throat and then said with utmost sincerity, “Actually... I’ve researched every single participant that has been invited to this World Invitational Tournament.”


    Everyone inside the recording room was shocked upon hearing his words...
