Chapter 14

    The drone purchased by the system was still on its way via courier, so today''s filming was once again done by Hang Ling holding the camera.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Chu Tingwu decided to teach the cats at Little Sun Rescue House how to cooperate with humans in rescuing cats. This idea didn''t juste from Three-Five-Five''s inspiration, but also because she felt this skill could indeed help alleviate the rescue pressure on Little Sun Hospital.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Cat rescue sometimes requires expensive specialized tools, and spaying, neutering, and treatment also need funding. Little Sun Hospital was barely able to maintain operations and was looking for ways to improve their situation.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Online traffic is a double-edged sword, but it''s not entirely bad.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling posted the video of Three-Five-Five rescuing One Spot ck on their ount. Little Sun Hospital''s ount gained a wave of followers due to this incident. Now, as soon as they posted, they made it onto the natural rmendation list, and then the video was reposted by another cat rescue content creator.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    This was a major content creator with two million followers, who exined to their fans in a very impartial tone:<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Cats are very intelligent animals. Many house cats can sense danger, even warning owners about gas leaks, saving fallen babies, detecting heart disease patients and calling for help... Although it''s rare for cats to rescue other cats, trained cats can indeed understand human intentions.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As we can see in the video, the rescued ''One Spot ck'' was first unable to move freely, and secondly, had a timid personality. It didn''t understand that entering the human''s rope loop would lead to rescue, but rather chose to submit to the powerful cat ''Three-Five-Five'', being forced into the loop like cats ying and roughhousing with each other.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    So, I hope fans don''t misunderstand and let their own cats randomly attempt high-altitude rescues of other cats. Not all cats are like Three-Five-Five, and not all cats are as obedient as One Spot ck. Communication between cats, and between humans and cats, isplex. Cat-to-cat rescue should be considered an ''auxiliarymunication tool'' in cat rescue, like using cat recordings to call out hidden cats. Don''t deify or demonize it, and don''t try to imitate it casually.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    However, I personally look forward to seeing more cases like this, helping us find new methods or train such rescue cats. Maybe one day we can even put staff vests on them. As long as this behavior can be replicated, it means we can reduce the cost and time of cat rescue... I might even train these freeloaders here who can''t get adopted, to work for their room and board ughs)."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The major content creator is called "Cha Mi Goes Home". They were originally just a college student entrepreneurial team, developing indie games while adopting a cat named "Cha Mi" in their studio. But once, when receiving a delivery, the cat ran out and ended up jumping from a 16th-floor window ledge in fright.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Everyone in the team developed psychological trauma from this, and they also discovered a gap in the "cat rescue" market. At that time, they were stuck on the 16th floor with no solution. The student responsible for feeding the cat almost wanted to tie a hemp rope and climb out to bring the cat back, but while they were looking for a rope, the cat jumped.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "If we encountered this... maybe others have too, so why don''t we try to create an ount that epts requests for help?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Unlike Little Sun Hospital, the Cha Mi team mainly focuses on high-altitude cat rescues. They bought professional equipment and rescued both house cats and stray cats. Stray cats were sent for adoption, but as years passed, the studio still ended up with many cats they couldn''t rehome.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    They continued making games, but developed "Cha Mi" into its own IP, selling merchandise, epting donations, taking onmercial coborations, making cat rescue games... In their self-deprecating words, they were "profiting from a deceased cat", but also letting the name of the deceased cat live on forever.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Reminding them not to see a second "Cha Mi" and be helpless again.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Before reposting the video Hang Ling shared, someone from the team had sent her a private message, asking if they could provide "supplementary information": "Our ount has many followers, to prevent marketing ounts from cutting out your content and reposting it indiscriminately."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It''s easy to imagine that marketing ounts would only keep the most sensational 20-something seconds.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling of course didn''t refuse, and both sides followed each other. The Cha Mi team couldn''t help but ask curiously: "How did Three-Five-Five do it? Can we ask how you trained them?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    [Actually, it was all trained by Chu Tingwu. Three-Five-Five is the cat she adopted. But she''s nning to try training our other cats too. We''ll record the process in videos.]<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In Hang Ling''s imagination, Chu Tingwu would probably give a speech to the cats, and aftermunicating with them, simte various forms of cat rescue indoors - high-altitude fishing rod rescue, lowering cat cages, or using captures for kittens. Cats could definitely be used to lure other cats.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The situation turned out to be quite simr to what she imagined. She held up her phone and watched through the camera as Chu Tingwu meowed twice, and five cats including Three-Five-Five appeared from all directions, quickly or slowly, then gathered in front of Chu Tingwu.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    And then...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Meow!" "Mew?" "Meow-wu-wu" "Meow meow meow" "Mew—" "Giao!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Who made thatst sound?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The ck and white cat Oreo was bitten by Three-Five-Five, and while making a "Giao" sound, it jumped up, clinging to the edge of the sofa and hissing at the calico. Hang Ling''s hand shook a bit... She had filmed it, but what on earth were they saying? Little Chu Chu, you really understand catnguage, don''t you! You all were having such a back-and-forth conversation!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The adults had gathered together at some point, all staying out of the camera frame, standing behind Hang Ling with strange, silly smiles on their faces as they watched the human and several cats sitting in a circle for a meeting.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Chu Tingwu raised her hand. Wearing a mask, she said to Hang Ling''s camera:<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "I''ve finished discussing with them. I''ll lead by example first, showing them how it''s done via livestream."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    After she finished speaking, those four cats actually went over to look at Chu Tingwu''s phone screen, then simultaneously turned to look at Hang Ling, as if asking why she hadn''t set up the projector.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling: "?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Wait, they hadn''t received any rescue requests today either.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In a small ce like Fallen Phoenix City, not everyone would choose to seek help. Most of the time, staff members would encounter stray cats by chance and then go out with cages to catch them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Not catching cats," Chu Tingwu blinked, "We''ll start with the simplest lesson: how to get cats to help people find recently lost cats."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She had just scrolled through "Nearby People" on her phone and saw a new help post from someone whose blue cat had just gone missing and was urgently searching.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "There have indeed been cases of stray cats helping to find cats..." Hang Ling realized.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    After all, Hang Ling was the adult and seemed more reliable. She used the hospital''s ount to contact the other party, skillfully verifying herself. The person on the other end mumbled, "I know about your hospital... but, but I''ve already paid professionals to search..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling: "?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She perked up. Although she didn''t know if Chu Tingwu could do it, in the past few days, little Chu had given her a lot of baseless confidence - she didn''t know if the professionals were truly professional, but she believed that their cats here were definitely the most professional cats!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "More people means more ways to search. Don''t worry, we won''t charge you. We''lle over now... we just need to livestream it."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The cat owner was at their wit''s end and didn''t care about the livestream as long as their face was blurred: "But isn''t the process of finding a cat quite boring... Who are you livestreaming for?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling smiled sheepishly: "As a teaching example for our cats at home."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Cat owner: "Huh?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    -<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    By the time Chu Tingwu arrived at the cat owner''s residentialplex with Three-Five-Five, Qiao Hu had also reached Fallen Phoenix City.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The system hummed lightly in her consciousness and suddenly said, "Kiddo, buy a camera for livestreaming on the way."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The "Chu Tingwu and Three-Five-Five" ount was about to start its first livestream... Of course, this livestream wasn''t for humans, but for the four cats taking the ss.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Meanwhile, "Cha Mi Goes Home" had learned about the situation from Hang Ling. They were both amused and curious, so they gathered their team members in the studio, projected the livestream screen, and waited for this broadcast to begin.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The system proudly paid for the purchased camera, watching Chu Tingwu clip it to her cor, then helped start the livestream.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    For the system, blurring the faces of other passersby during the livestream was effortless. When they arrived at the cat owner''s residentialplex, the owner was already downstairs. The whole family had been searching for the cat for half a day.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Blueberry is very timid and rarely goes out. I thought he was hiding because rtives came over today, but when I checked the security footage, I saw him get into the elevator when the rtives opened the door—"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The cat owner''s lips turned pale as she spoke, "I contacted an online team that specializes in finding cats. They''re checking the security cameras now, but ourplex is old and many areas aren''t covered... Blueberry should still be somewhere in theplex. How do you usually find cats?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The residentialplex was lush with greenery, its walls covered in ivy. Elderly people could be seen taking walks, and children were ying on slides in the public areas. Hang Ling inquired, "Have you tried asking the stray cats around here?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The cat owner couldn''t help butugh through her tears, "Does that method actually work? I don''t usually feed the strays, so I have no idea where they hang out..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As they were talking, quite a few people had already joined Chu Tingwu''s livestream. After all, most of her tens of thousands of followers were active fans.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The fans were surprised by the title:<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    [UP, we were just joking when we asked you to teach cats how to cook three dishes and a soup. We didn''t actually expect you to teach our cats at home. What''s with this "Lesson One: Cat Search and Rescue Field Training" title... Don''t tell me there are more lessons?]<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    [Jokes aside, do cats get paid for finding missing cats?]<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The camera was focused on Three-Five-Five at Chu Tingwu''s feet. Without offering much exnation, she stroked Three-Five-Five''s back and exchanged a few "meows" with her.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The tortoiseshell cat looked serious as she approached the cat owner who had lost her pet. She sniffed the owner''s legs as if to confirm something—cats actually have a much keener sense of smell than dogs. House cats often rub against their owners to leave their scent, and now Three-Five-Five was sniffing for that scent on the owner.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Of course, theoretically, Chu Tingwu could smell it too, but her training hadn''t reached that level yet. To put it in dramatic terms...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    System: "You haven''t unlocked the seal on your true powers yet!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Chu Tingwu silently told it to be quiet with her eyes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Three-Five-Five meowed once, and Chu Tingwu unclipped the leash, leaving only the cor.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Then, to the cat owner''s amazement, the young girl who hade to help with her cat suddenly started running after it!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The cat owner was bewildered: "?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling also turned and ran, calling back, "Don''t worry about that team. Our cat is already helping you search."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Our cat? Shouldn''t it be "our people"?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The cat owner stared at the long-haired tortoiseshell cat as it gracefully leaped onto a railing, then dropped to the other side. As it ran, its fur rippled in the wind, as if it truly had a destination in mind... Wait, you''re not going to lose the cat you brought to help, are you?!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The next moment!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The short-haired young girl seemed to move in perfect sync with the cat. With a single-footed leap, she stepped on the five-foot-high railing with her toes, easilynding on the other side without the slightest stumble, and continued to chase after her cat in perfect synchronization.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hang Ling: "?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
