Who should I flip the card for today?
Xia Yu opened the list and looked at the bodies inside, feeling somewhat troubled.
An Siyao was in her postpartum period, Xu Youxiang had visited yesterday, and Yan Wei had to cook for herself…
Eliminating each one step by step, only Wen Ziying remained.
Decided then, it’s you! Let’s start, Wen Ziying!
After pressing the confirmation button for the switch, Xia Yu’s vision went black.
A moment later, light appeared.
Before his eyes was a series of iron bars.
“???”
Looking around in confusion, Xia Yu found that the iron bars were quite long, seemingly forming a circle around him.
What’s going on? Was Wen Ziying captured and thrown into prison?
Taking a couple of confused steps forward, Xia Yu heard a rustling sound and felt something strange underfoot.
Looking down, he saw a layer of wood shavings.
He stopped and carefully analyzed and thought, finally reaching a conclusion.
Have I turned into a hamster?
Placing both hands in front of him, Xia Yu saw hamster paws.
Damn this game! It must have another bug!
He continued observing the surroundings, finding this cage strangely familiar—it seemed exactly like the cage of his own pet hamster.
So he had ended up inside the body of his own hamster?
Sitting on the ground, Xia Yu hugged his head.
After a moment, he sighed.
Well, since he had come this far, there was nothing else to do but wait for eight hours to pass.
Come to think of it, he wondered what kind of buffs this hamster might provide.
From human bodies, one could usually only obtain ordinary life skills, but from animals, rare and magical skills could be unlocked.
Skills like intimidation, dexterity, calming, strength, and endurance were all obtained from animals.
[Body exchange completed]
[Generating buffs based on the new body…]
[Buffs generated successfully]
[Acquired buffs: Storage + Lv1, Acting + Lv1, Reproduction + Lv1]
[Have a pleasant game experience]
Sure enough, aside from acting, all the other buffs seemed quite peculiar.
Storage was easy to understand—hamsters could hide a lot in their cheeks, so it was likely that kind of ability.
Pressing and holding the buff name, Xia Yu received a detailed description.
[Storage: Capable of storing more items within the body, and less likely to be detected]
This skill seemed somewhat useless.
Xia Yu then looked at Reproduction.
After pressing and holding, what appeared was a bunch of pixelated blocks, apparently unsuitable for display.
This buff wasn’t surprising either—rodents were famously known for their reproductive capabilities.
He wondered what the exact effects were. Could it be combined with Endurance Lv3 to relieve some recent stress?
Finally, Xia Yu focused on the Acting buff.
How did this buff come about?
Mice were highly intelligent and acting was normal, but to the extent of forming a buff?
He hadn’t noticed any such talent from this hamster before.
Putting that aside, Xia Yu stood up.
Staying in a cage for eight hours was boring—time to go out and play.
Was a cage really going to stop him?
Approaching the cage door, Xia Yu looked at the lock.
He fell into deep thought.
Honestly speaking, shouldn’t a hamster’s cage just use a regular pin?
Previously, it had always been a simple pin that could be pulled out easily once the position was found, so why had it now become a smooth, red-lit electronic lock?
In his mind, the prime suspect’s name surfaced:
—Youxue.
The black cat and the hamster were both kept by the girl; the electronic lock on the cage must be her doing!
When he returned, he would definitely deduct her allowance!
Xia Yu moved away from the door—he wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he could handle an electronic lock.
Looking up, he noticed the top of the cage could be opened, but there was also an electronic lock there.
Looking around again, the iron bars gleamed coldly, appearing extremely sturdy.
Approaching the bars, Xia Yu tried using his Lv3 strength, but the cage didn’t budge at all.
So, was he really going to spend the next seven or so hours stuck inside this cage?
Xia Yu glanced at the cage’s facilities: a slide, a running wheel, a swing, a chew stick, a climbing ladder, a wooden house, and even a shallow artificial stream—truly well-equipped.
But these were only suitable for a hamster. As a human, Xia Yu had long surpassed such basic pleasures.
How could Youxue not even place a mobile phone inside the hamster’s cage?
Was she looking down on the hamster?
Unable to entertain himself, Xia Yu attempted to practice his skills to kill time, but there were no suitable props inside the cage.
After walking around twice, Xia Yu lay on the climbing ladder, feeling utterly dejected.
Turning to his side, he grabbed a handful of wood shavings from the ground and threw them into the air for self-entertainment.
After a while, sounds came from outside—the footsteps of Youxue and others coming downstairs.
Xia Yu didn’t bother to get up. He could technically use the hamster’s body to speak for help, but the hamster’s voice was too quiet to be heard in the living room.
Continuing to toss wood shavings into the air, Xia Yu yawned.
Ka—
The sound of the door opening suddenly echoed.
Was it the hamster’s maid?
Xia Yu lazily didn’t bother to look—he was already feeling sleepy. If he fell asleep, he wouldn’t be bored anymore.
The next moment, he heard another sound.
Ding—
Ka-cha—
The sound of the cage being unlocked.
Instantly sitting up from the ladder, Xia Yu looked toward the door and saw the black cat.
Good boy, extra chicken for dinner tonight!
Jumping down from the ladder, Xia Yu walked out of the cage.
Freedom!
However, he hadn’t taken a few steps before being blocked by the black cat.
“Meow!” The black cat extended its paw toward Xia Yu.
Xia Yu quickly jumped aside, dodging the cat’s claw.
What do you think you’re doing!
He frowned at the black cat.
Seeing the hamster dodge its paw, the black cat’s previously relaxed expression changed. It stood upright, revealing its sharp teeth.
You, a small servant with teeth, dare dodge my paw? Are you trying to rebel!?
The black cat extended its paw again, this time with more force.
Xia Yu dodged once more.
“Meow!” The black cat was completely enraged now. It charged toward Xia Yu.
Xia Yu quickly compared the size difference between himself and the cat, then without hesitation, started running backward.
A wise hamster doesn’t pick fights it can’t win. A strategic retreat now, and settle the score later!
However, still unfamiliar with the hamster’s body, he couldn’t outrun the black cat.
The black cat leaped and landed right in front of Xia Yu, then swiped its paw and hit him.
Today, I’ll show you who rules here!
The black cat hadn’t used full strength, but the slap still sent Xia Yu rolling for several rotations.
The pain in his heart surpassed the physical pain.
To be hit by his own cat—he had never suffered such humiliation before!
You’re finished!
I won’t rest until I properly teach you a lesson!
Thinking for a moment, Xia Yu lay still on the ground, motionless.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why hamsters had an acting buff.
The black cat observed the still hamster for a while, then curiously approached Xia Yu.
Why wasn’t this hamster moving? Had she accidentally killed it with her paw?
The black cat felt a bit uneasy. It lowered its head to check.
Xia Yu, peering through narrowed eyes, seized the moment. He suddenly jumped up and lunged straight onto the black cat’s head!
