Echo Cat Lamp was the cat lamp in the world who loved banging and clanging things most. From the moment she learned Jiang Han was willing to take her to see a factory, she had been itching to head out.
But Jiang Han refused to leave immediately.
After spending time in both the cat lamp and witch worlds, Jiang Han knew full well that blindly indulging giant cats or witches could sometimes make them think they could bully you even more. So every now and then, you had to show some firmness.
Now was the perfect opportunity.
Holding her knife and fork, Jiang Han deftly cut off a large piece of pan-fried cod and paired it with paw-squeezed sauce juice. After being brushed with honey, the cod was fresh and delicious, crisp without being scorched. The boldly sprinkled salt and pepper did not mingle with the honey's sweetness at all, instead becoming an exquisite flavor.
Jiang Han ate with immense satisfaction, nearly letting out a meow-howl.
After wiping her mouth, she took cat silver coins from her pocket to pay the foxfolk server. Though the other party had said she could eat for free forever, Jiang Han would not squander the foxfolks' goodwill on ordinary food and drink. The more she respected them in daily life, the more useful the foxfolks would be when it truly mattered!
Incidentally, though the cat lamps were very unwilling to admit it, the morale of foxfolks, catgirls, and even hamstergirls was considerably higher than that of cat lamps... Catfolk even commonly possessed the trait of fighting to the death without retreating, while foxfolks had the specialty trait "brave and battle-hardened" (its effect being morale three times that of humans of the same size).
