"..."

Inside the room, Precise was leaning against the door.

She didn't speak or move; she just stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling.

"Incomprehensible."

After an unknown amount of time, Precise seemed to finally come to his senses.

What she couldn't understand wasn't what Chen Ran had done to her before, after all, she had said that her theoretical knowledge was incredibly rich.

What she couldn't understand was that she took her hand out from under her skirt and looked at the wetness on her fingertips. "The so-called 'sexual sensation' is just the release of dopamine, so why..."

Chapter 358 You little cat, come and rub me!

People with a spirit of exploration are like this.

When Precise, who was well-read and had more theoretical knowledge than anyone else, encountered something she couldn't understand at all, it was like a thorn in her side, making her feel awkward and uncomfortable no matter what.

Precise certainly knew that humans and dolphins were among the few species that would reproduce for the sake of so-called 'pleasure'.

But the so-called 'pleasure'... isn't it just the secretion of dopamine? This is part of the brain's reward mechanism.

Precise thought it was nothing special, just like that.

She may not have experienced reproduction, but she has eaten sugar.

Eating sugar also stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain, which is the same positive feedback mechanism as during reproduction.

Can she eat candy? Precise can give it up just like that; she doesn't think such a simple reward system can sway her thoughts.

But reproduction is different... It's like something etched into the very DNA of humans, something she can't understand.

Oh, it's not that I can't understand it, after all, it's explained very clearly in the biology textbook.

The problem is...

It splashed.

Precise found a bathroom in a small house in this 'Seaside Resort Town' and rinsed himself with cold water.

She wanted to wash the sweat off her body and calm her mind.

It was effective at first.

But when Precise finished washing up and left the bathroom, he looked around but couldn't find a single clean piece of clothing, and his wardrobe was completely empty.

Is this little house uninhabited?

Precise turned back to the laundry basket and found that her clothes were already soaked with sweat.

We can't wear them anymore, and we have no clothes to change into.

So Precise was left to wander around the little house naked.

The afterglow of the experience lingered in her body, though a cold shower had calmed her down considerably.

But the basin below her abdomen was not dry, and the two little cherries on her chest seemed to stand out even more when the cold wind blew as she walked around.

As the initial feeling of heat dissipated, the chill in her body returned.

"Human reproductive behavior is essentially the same as that of animals, but the reward mechanism of the human brain gives sexual behavior another layer of meaning."

While waiting for the dirty clothes to be washed and spun in the washing machine...

Precise then sat down at the table, took out his old notebook, and wrote in it:

"In this way, it seems that we can explain why the small animals on Terra have grown into the appearance of 'humans'. It is probably to obtain the 'reward' mechanism unique to humans."

Precise reached out and pinched his chest.

Feeling the brain's response, she wrote it down, "Moreover, the human reward mechanism doesn't seem to be limited to just 'reproduction'."

When she noticed that the raised spot had become significantly larger, and her brain had started releasing dopamine again,

Precise then released his grip and let out a soft breath.

She continued writing.

But it's clear that what she wrote was something that everyone already knows.

Therefore, it's hard not to suspect that Precise's so-called 'records' are either just a way for her to keep herself occupied and distracted from focusing on her body's reactions, or...

Or... as she just said, she can easily give up sugar, but the act of human reproduction seems to be a bit difficult for her.

So if someone were to peek through the window of this little house now, they would see Precise sitting solemnly at the table.

But she was holding a pen in one hand and touching it with the other.

The basin, which was not yet dry, soon began to emit that familiar 'gurgling' sound again after being touched by Precise.

"So Savior Cat, what are you peeking at?"

Although Chen Ran had just turned and left, he hadn't gone far.

Chen Ran merely went to check on the condition of the Snake Snake Feathered Serpent God Horya, and then glanced at where Little Watermelon had gone riding off on Ayao.

After doing all that, Chen Ran wandered back to the table.

Then, Chen Ran saw Savior Kal'tsit cat, standing in front of a small house window with a subtle expression, seemingly peeking at something.

Strange...

That's strange.

Kal'tsit is a mechanical life form, and she wouldn't even be recognized as a 'life' by the lumberjacks.

So, your statement that Kal'tsit is sexually frigid is actually not wrong.

After all, Kal'tsit was built with the purpose of 'surviving the hands of lumberjacks', not as a 'domestic robot'.

And what about Doctor and Precise?

They are all pure-blooded humans, possessing the full range of human emotions and desires.

Well, it's not entirely incomprehensible that Precise would hide in the house, working and doing handicrafts at the same time...

Well, the Savior Kal'tsit just doesn't understand.

If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, the Savior Kal'tsit would have found it hard to imagine that the absolutely rational, indifferent to life, and humanity-first Precise would do such things.

Surely this isn't some new stress-relief method developed by Precise?

It is indeed quite stress-relieving.

Savior Kal'tsit, certainly has something to say about this.

The savior in the Sea Creatures Worldline, the substitute in the Normal Line, the rescue in the Angel Line — Savior Kal'tsit, is really busy; she's the lead in all three Worldline.

This naturally put immense pressure on Savior Kal'tsit.

During this long period of time, the Savior Kal'tsit naturally found ways to relieve stress—

Actually, it was during Chen Ran and the others' silver party that the Savior Kal'tsit activated her empathy ability, the halo above her head.

Then just find a place to lie down and enjoy the comfortable feeling from the inside out.

Although this method sounds unpleasant, it is indeed the most effective, convenient, and cost-free.

Moreover, after enjoying it, once you turn off the empathy and the afterglow disappears, you can truly feel refreshed all over.

It's the same as those scumbags who abandon their partners after sex and don't have to take responsibility... Okay, that sounds even worse now.

But surely that's not the reason for Precise?

What pressure could Precise have? Does it count as someone else taking her job?

That's why Savior Kal'tsit, was puzzled by this.

Fortunately, Chen Ran arrived at that moment and struck up a conversation with her.

Savior Kal'tsit looked up at Chen Ran and asked, "Did you brainwash her?"

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is this? What brainwashing Savior Cat? You might as well call it hypnosis, it sounds better."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran reached out and grabbed the Savior Kal'tsit in his hand.

Then, she poked Savior Kal'tsit's little head with a fingertip and said, "Besides, if I could really hypnotize, shouldn't I just hypnotize you, Savior Cat? Aren't you more to my liking? Wouldn't it be more fun to have you play the role of a cat, meow a few times, act cute, and be adorable?"

"Please don't take it for granted and say things that are harassing."

Chen Ran arrested her first. Even Savior Kal'tsit, knew that Chen Ran treated her like a house cat; she had even used that identity to bully others.

But cats, you know their nature.

So Savior Kal'tsit, figured Chen Ran wouldn't be angry, and rolled her eyes as she said this.

And she was right. Chen Ran wasn't angry at all. Instead, he rubbed his chin and said, "When did I harass you? Besides, aren't you my cat, Savior Cat? Then Savior Cat, turn over and let me rub your belly."

Savior Kal'tsit: "..."

Chapter 359 Rubbing a Cat

'A kitten like you was born to be eaten by your mother; resisting is useless! Muamuamua!'

Chen Ran sat in a chair, Savior Kal'tsit, stood on the table.

The person and the cat had a cell phone in front of them, playing a video of someone cuddling a cat.

But that overly mesmerizing barbell laughter, and that behavior reminiscent of Lady Shiji...

This plunged the Savior Kal'tsit into an eerie silence.

She didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

Fortunately, the video was very short, ending in less than a minute.

But after watching the behavior in the video, and then looking at Chen Ran who just said, ' Savior Cat, aren't you my cat? Then Savior Cat, turn over and let me rub your belly...'

The Savior Kal'tsit remained silent, only retreating further and further away.

Chen Ran watched the video, then turned to look and saw Savior Kal'tsit, backing away. He was about to reach out and grab her when—

"Wait, Savior Cat, are you serious about those airplane ears that look like you're about to breathe?"

"... I'd rather ask you, are you serious?"

Savior Kal'tsit, certainly didn't breathe, but her airplane ears were real.

You, my Lord God... surely you don't want to be like that person in the video, attracting me like that, do you?

Savior Kal'tsit, naturally refused.

And if this Lord God were to try to take it by force, then she would certainly...

What is inevitable?

After thinking it Savior Kal'tsit realized that if Chen Ran really insisted on forcing himself on her, she would seem to have no way to resist.

Seemingly having figured this out, Savior Kal'tsit, stopped retreating after a moment of silence and sat down on the spot.

"Give up?" Chen Ran poked her little head with his fingertip.

"No, I just accepted my fate." Savior Kal'tsit reached out her small hand and pushed Chen Ran's mischievous hand away. "Please don't get so close to me."

"You really are like a cat now."

After all, it's a cat, so even though his hand was pried off, Chen Ran wasn't annoyed.

He simply swiped back down on his phone screen and watched a few more cat-petting videos with Savior Kal'tsit.

Fortunately, apart from the initial video of Lady Shiji, the other cat-petting videos... seem pretty normal.

So when Savior Kal'tsit's cat ears slowly changed back from airplane ear mode, Chen Ran reached out his hand again.

This time, the Savior Kal'tsit didn't react by breathing on him in response to the stress.

He just patted her little head, and didn't care.

She didn't care when I touched her tummy.

But if you touch other places, Savior Kal'tsit, will slap you with her cat paw.
