Genshin Impact: I Picked Up a Cat at the Start

However, the cat's escape attempt failed halfway.

Kirara prepared to transform into her cat form to escape, but was surprised to find that her demonic power had vanished, forcing her to remain in human form!

Not just her demonic power, but even her elemental power couldn't be activated!

No, in this strange world, there was no demonic power or elemental power at all!

"What's going on?"

Kirara's tone was slightly panicked. She looked back and saw the bad guy, who had been trapped by the pile of pillows, suddenly reaching out like a zombie coming back to life.

Pushing aside the pile of pillows, Zhu Qing sat up, rubbing his forehead, squinting his eyes, and said with an unkind look, "Kirara, are you calm now?"

"Meow!"

Kirara's fur stood on end from the cold gaze, and the two tails behind her instinctively became straight, as if warning Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing continued to sit there, looking at Kirara's exposed smooth legs, his tone softening slightly, "Calm down a little…"

In this situation, how could Kirara possibly be calm? The bad guy in front of her was very likely a legendary cat trafficker!

Seeing Kirara's continuous fur-raising, Zhu Qing felt helpless.

If he were a bad guy, Kirara wouldn't just have a bed sheet on her, there should be some moving little props as well.

He said softly, "Kirara, I am Zhu Qing, a staff member of the Parallel Universe Traveler Administration. Now, I am arresting you for the crime of illegally smuggling into Blue Star!"

"Wha-what? Parallel universe? Time travel? Arrest me?"

Kirara blinked her eyes in confusion, her brain working at high speed, incidentally burning out the cerebellum that controlled her wagging tail.

Unable to figure it out, she lowered her tail slightly, blinked her eyes, and stared straight at Zhu Qing.

From Zhu Qing's words, she felt that she had probably caused trouble.

She shrank her neck, tightened the bed sheet, and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, Mr. Administrator, what does parallel universe mean?"

Seeing that his bluff was effective, Zhu Qing took the opportunity to say, "This is not Teyvat, this is Blue Star. And you are an illegal smuggler!"

Seeing Zhu Qing's serious expression, Kirara panicked. She knew how dangerous smuggling was. People had died when Inazuma implemented the Sakoku Decree!

Although Kirara looks cute and easy to fool, her mind works quite fast. After a little thought, she understood.

Looking around the room at the unfamiliar foreign decorations, recalling the terrifying roar of the iron vehicle that flew by last night, and the dense steel forest...

In the instant the memories flooded in, no matter how unbelievable it was, she could only accept the fact that she was indeed not on the continent of Teyvat.

"I'm so sorry! Mr. Administrator, I didn't mean to! Did I hurt you?"

Kirara immediately pounced over in her cat form and pulled up Zhu Qing, apologizing and admitting her mistake decisively, her attitude was extremely sincere.

It was as if even if Zhu Qing made some excessive demands that would make a cat roll around on the ground, she would agree immediately.

But Zhu Qing was not that kind of lecherous person. He unhappily pushed away Kirara's tail that was wrapped around his arm.

Kirara's agile movements surprised Zhu Qing for a moment, and the corner of the dropped quilt made him even more surprised.

The difference in combat power between the two sides was immediately apparent.

Zhu Qing looked away: "Kirara, there are clothes in the closet, just wear them for now. Come find me after you've cleaned up."

After speaking, Zhu Qing quickly opened the door and walked out of the room. He leaned against the door after closing it and patted his chest.

So small... ah, so close!

「Host, when did you become a staff member of the Parallel Universe Transmigration Bureau?」

"Just now."

Zhu Qing quickly walked to the toilet to take a comfortable pee, and began to think about his first meeting with Kirara.

The thought of Kirara's flustered appearance made Zhu Qing's lips curl into a slight smile. It was quite amusing...

"Click."

The door opened gently.

Kirara stepped out, wearing only an oversized white crew-neck knit sweater, the curved hem revealing her fair, slender thighs.

The sunlight from the balcony, like a lecherous gaze, shamelessly licked everything, shimmering on the loose threads of the knit sweater.

She was like a fairy descended to earth, bathed in sunlight, her innocent, curious, and captivating eyes fixed directly on Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing turned to look at her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Kirara, as if stepping out of the game, had delicate features, small and well-proportioned, her expression revealing unparalleled liveliness.

Even on Earth, Kirara's looks would be considered above average, at least that's what Zhu Qing thought.

Especially the two fluffy brown cat ears on her head, moving restlessly, as if tempting Zhu Qing to soothe them.

"Mr. Administrator, I've changed my clothes!"

"Okay, sit down for a bit. What would you like for breakfast?"

Following Zhu Qing's gaze, Kirara obediently sat at the dining table, tentatively asking, "Is there any Inazuman-style breakfast?"

"Of course... not! There's instant noodles, instant noodles, and more instant noodles. What would you like?"

"...Uh, instant noodles will do."

"What a good kid, not picky at all!"

Kirara was already drenched in sweat, silently awaiting the judgment of this not-so-bright administrator Mr. Bamboo.

What should I do? I seem to have really messed up. Mr. Administrator doesn't even want to give me the right to choose...

Zhuqing, unaware of Kirara's inner grumbling, boiled water and put in instant noodles.

Suddenly, he turned to look at Kirara: "Kirara, if you can't go back, what kind of job do you plan to do here?"

He had carefully inquired about the origin of the system while washing up.

It is said that Teyvat Continent encountered a great disaster from the Sea of Embers, causing all the characters to break through the dimensional wall and appear in reality.

But correspondingly, elemental power, monsters, slimes, and even the great disaster, will also appear in the real world one after another.

If Blue Star loses in the final world defense war, then the ending will be the explosion of Blue Star, and everyone will die.

And the system was born in accordance with the will of heaven, specializing in arranging jobs for Genshin characters in the real world, so it is called the Reemployment System.

The host's task is to take the Genshin characters home before others discover them and let them adapt to Blue Star life.

At the same time, the host needs to continuously complete tasks to improve their own strength and the strength of the characters to cope with the world defense war.

This introduction made Zhuqing's scalp tingle. Isn't it said that there are tall people to hold up the sky when it falls? How did I become the tall one?

But it's useless to lament now, because the administrator Zhuqing, who believes in 'tech geeks save the world,' is about to make his debut.

Anyway, as the ancients said, 'Since you're here, make the best of it.' Which means, since you're here, let's just bury ourselves here.

Zhu Qing always listened to the words of the ancients, and immediately decided to listen to the system, to keep the character for re-employment, and to bury the great disaster in this world.

It's definitely not because the system paid him!

Unfortunately, Kirara was obviously deeply deceived by Zhu Qing's previous words. She asked cautiously, "Aren't you going to catch me?"

This child's favorite thing is to go to places she hasn't been to, and see scenery she hasn't seen before. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to become the golden courier of Komaniya, running all over Teyvat.

Having calmed down, she was instead full of curiosity about this world, eager to run out immediately and look up at those novel things.

But the duty of a golden courier was still on her shoulders. She still remembered that there were several packages in Fontaine that hadn't been delivered.

So her little wish to stay in this world and travel might be in vain... She had to go back to deliver packages.

The little cat's pink paw pads pressed on the floor, her claws slightly tightened, scraping back and forth on the floor.

Zhu Qing noticed Kirara's hesitant and tangled expression, and said frankly, "You can't go back to the Teyvat continent."

"Ah? But I still have packages to deliver!"

Hearing the news, the little cat suddenly hugged her head and wailed, leaning back on the chair in self-blame, her claws secretly starting to scratch the floor.

Her mind raced, and she asked, "Mr. Administrator, you should be able to go to the Teyvat continent, right? Could you..."

"No," Zhu Qing replied without thinking.

The system mentioned that Teyvat was dangerous. He was still a weak scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, how could he go there to take risks?

The sadness on Kirara's face was overflowing, and she murmured, "Then what should I do? The customers are still waiting for my packages..."

Zhuqing was a bit surprised by Kirara's sense of responsibility, and casually said, "Why not just have other couriers from Komaniya deliver it?"

Kirara hesitated, then sighed after a moment, "Mr. Administrator, you might not know the rules of Komaniya."

Zhuqing didn't want to know, and brought over a pot of clear soup noodles, placing it heavily on the table, "I don't know, but I know it's time to eat."

Kirara looked up at Zhuqing, asking pitifully, "Mr. Administrator, am I really not going back?"

Zhuqing stared at her, his heart softened, and he helplessly asked the system, "System, is there any way to go back to Teyvat?"
