Chapter 2

Bai Chengcheng was brought back to the program’s office, where a dedicated young lady was assigned to take care of him.

The director’s assistant said to the artist’s assistant, “This cat might not have passed its differentiation stage yet. You’ll be responsible for taking care of it until the live broadcast starts.”

The young lady was immediately captivated by the cat’s beauty!

“Oh my god, this little one is so gorgeous!”

The white cat was very small, clearly a smaller breed. Its fur was snow-white and soft, with a tail that was long and fluffy. Its ears had pink tips, and not only that, the cat’s eyes had a narrow upward slant at the corners, with pink “eyeliner”!

What an extraordinarily beautiful cat—like the heavens had already done its makeup.

The young lady looked at the cotton-candy-like, pink-tinted cat and felt her heart melt from the cuteness.

She gently said, “Having to work before passing the differentiation stage, what a poor little thing.”

The differentiation stage for orcs typically happens around 18 years old. Some may undergo the process earlier, at around 13 or 14, when their orc genes start to manifest, but the latest is usually by 18, when they reach adulthood.

The director’s assistant noticed that the cat hadn’t spoken or shown any sign of transforming into a human form, so they deduced it hadn’t passed its differentiation stage.

Bai Chengcheng didn’t know what “differentiation” meant. He hadn’t merged with the kitten’s memories, and actually, he could only understand part of the language here. Some of the pronunciations were still unclear to him.

Feeling pitiful, he meowed softly at the young lady. She immediately covered her chest with a look of adoration, almost as if she were going to faint from cuteness. “Little kitty, do you want some milk?”

The young lady brought over a bottle of yogurt drink. Bai Chengcheng’s eyes lit up, and he immediately pounced on it, startling the young lady. “Slow down.”

By the time the live broadcast started the next day, Bai Chengcheng had already taken a bath, his belly was full and round, and he had successfully integrated into the program, becoming the “pet” of the “Cat Love Variety Show” production team.

Everyone in the production, whether directors or behind-the-scenes staff, adored him, probably because of his good looks, or perhaps due to his naturally charming golden fox lineage.

He didn’t put on airs either. He’d nuzzle up to anyone he met, occasionally making sweet “meow meow” sounds, which would earn him delicious little fish snacks and yogurt. It was pure bliss.

This was a hundred times better than being a medical practitioner in the apocalypse!

Even before the live broadcast started, billions of interstellar netizens had already opened the stream, eagerly waiting for the fluffy arrival.

【Ah, it’s almost here! The cats are about to enter! So excited!】

【I heard the eight guests this time are all extraordinary! According to rumors, one of the guests is a super-rich second-generation from Sky City!】

Sky City, located above the central district of the main star, was a floating super-city in the sky. Only important figures from the empire or top-tier wealthy families could live there.

【Hiss, that person must be really rich, but I wonder who it is.】

【Ahhhh, it’s here, it’s here! I see a little white fluffball! So cute and small, it must be a girl, right?】

Bai Chengcheng knew that he had turned into a small cat, with a petite and round body, a long and fluffy tail. Because of his golden fox lineage, his eyes were different from regular cats. His eye corners had a narrow upward tilt, and his white ears had pink tips, unlike other cats with similar ear clusters.

It was precisely because of his appearance that countless young ladies had complimented him over the past few days.

Bai Chengcheng knew he was beautiful. After all, he had been struck by his own beauty when he first transmigrated.

So at this moment, fully aware that he was on a live variety show, Bai Chengcheng walked with his head held high and a graceful, light catwalk, cheerful and lively.

Facing the live camera, Bai Chengcheng was not nervous at all. In fact, he was quite excited.

Dear viewers, the most beautiful cat in history is here.

The staff standing to the side began to explain: “Hello, dear viewers! The first cat to appear is a male guest. He has golden fox genes, a small build, white fur, and blue eyes. He’s a sweet and affectionate little long-haired cat who likes boys. So, we’ve deliberately placed the photos of the other three male guests in front to see which one he will choose as his ‘crush’.”

The audience immediately reacted:

【What? He likes boys? I declare that he’s my wife from now on!】

【Oh my god, he’s too cute—so white, soft, and sweet, like cotton candy.】

【Where has this adorable cat been hiding all this time?! Damn it, I regret not joining a love variety show now!】

—

Bai Chengcheng happily approached the wall with seven cat photos hanging on it. His eyes lit up as he gazed at the images of the eight cats passing by.

The staff continued explaining: “Look how excited he is. Who do you think he’ll choose?”

Bai Chengcheng looked at the photos of the cats: a dominant Maine Coon, a rugged-looking lion cat, and a seemingly pure-hearted Siberian Forest cat. All three were large cats, with wild animal genes that made them even bigger. In their photos, they were majestic, handsome, and strong. Bai Chengcheng couldn’t help but drool.

On the other side were photos of the four female guests: a brown, green-eyed Ragdoll cat who looked like the girl next door, a cute, short-legged Golden British Shorthair, a round, fluffy-faced Persian Chinchilla, the cute princess, and a sophisticated, elegant short-haired Siamese cat with a cool, graceful demeanor.

Bai Chengcheng was thrilled as he looked at all these cats. It was like his every fantasy about cats was coming true!

What kind of magical program had brought together so many different types of cats for him to enjoy?

Bai Chengcheng couldn’t hold his excitement and ran around the photo wall twice.

The staff: “…”

The live audience: “…”

【Hahahaha, the wife is going crazy with excitement, I wonder which ‘old top’ he’s interested in.】

【I just realized, this golden fox cat seems to fit perfectly with all the other seven cats…】

【Given the body and appearance of our wife, it really seems like he’s the one being dominated.】

The staff, amused but helpless, reminded him: “Golden fox cat, which one will you choose as your ‘crush’?”

Previously, the staff had subtly hinted to Bai Chengcheng that he could choose the lion cat, because the lion cat’s sexual orientation was also male. The two of them had an adorable size difference, which would later be complemented by skin color and age differences—exactly the type of male-male CP line the show was emphasizing.

True to the hint, Bai Chengcheng walked over to the lion cat’s photo, and without disappointing anyone, he raised his soft, fluffy paw pad and left a blue paw print on the photo.

The staff exclaimed with joy: “Ah, it seems our little golden fox cat likes the lion…”

Before they could finish, Bai Chengcheng moved to the Maine Coon’s photo, and with a “smack,” he placed another paw print on it.

The staff: “???”

The live audience: “…”

It wasn’t over yet. Bai Chengcheng then tapped the Siberian Forest cat’s photo, followed by paw prints on the four female guests’ photos.

The staff: “…”

Once he finished, Bai Chengcheng looked at the row of neat paw prints, satisfied. He proudly lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and let out two triumphant “meow meows” to the camera.

The Cat Makes Its Choice: Humans Want Them All!

Hehe, for humans, there can never be just one “heart-throbbing cat!”

Live Stream Chat:

【Huh? My wife didn’t choose any of them? Or did he choose them all?】

【Of course, he didn’t choose anyone! He can’t possibly be a “^[1]“sea king” refer to someone who has many romantic or sexual partners, often without forming any deep commitment or attachment. It implies a person who flirts or plays around with multiple … Continue readingsea king”!】

【But look at his smug little expression, he looks like he’s saying, “I’ll take them all.”】

【…Top-notch translation, it really does look like that…】

The staff were completely thrown off. This wasn’t what they had planned! Why wasn’t the cat following the script?

Through the earpiece came the director, Zhang Song’s voice: “What are you waiting for? Quickly arrange for the next guest!”

For the “heart-throbbing cat” segment, the show didn’t have any rules about not choosing multiple cats or only selecting a specific gender. After all, it was live, and there was no editing—viewers could choose whoever they liked, however they liked.

Zhang Song had planned many dating shows and encountered all sorts of unexpected situations. At this point, his expression remained unchanged.

The staff awkwardly laughed, quickly saying, “Next up is our second male guest, the Siberian Forest Cat. He has brown bear genes, with a large and muscular build, and incredibly thick and dense fur. Look at his fur collar—it’s really quite handsome! Forest Cats typically prefer smaller cats, so let’s see who his heart-throbbing cat will be.”

As the staff explained, Bai Chengcheng turned and saw a massive, nearly one-meter-tall, muscular long-haired cat walk in, towering over everyone.

Bai Chengcheng: “!!!”

He was so startled that he jumped up, fur standing on end. His eyes widened, and his body reacted before his brain could process it. In a flash, he leapt under the table, nervously staring at the giant cat.

Damn, he knew the Forest Cat was handsome, but he didn’t know it was this intimidating!

This cat was just too big. Was this really a cat? Are we sure it’s not a tiger in cat makeup?

The Forest Cat had been reminded by the show’s staff during the contract signing that he was supposed to be following the male-female CP line, and the staff had hinted that he could choose the soft and cute Ragdoll or the Persian Chinchilla.

However, the Forest Cat seemed uninterested. In front of everyone, the giant cat, standing over a meter tall, walked past the photos of the seven cats with an indifferent expression, shaking his head as he went:

Siamese cat? No, no, no! Too dark-faced.

British Shorthair Gold? Oh no, too short-legged.

Lion Cat? Pah! Rough guy, go away.

Maine Coon? Haha, seriously? Two male cats together? What’s the show trying to pull here? I’m a hardcore straight man!

Hmm? Ragdoll? Ragdoll’s cute, but the fur’s a bit long—what if we sleep together and the fur ends up tangled? No, no, no, not suitable.

The huge Forest Cat with brown bear genes walked around in circles. Suddenly, he stopped in front of one of the photos:

Hmm? What breed is this? White and soft, looks like cotton. The ears and cheeks are pink, looking like a peach—makes you want to take a bite! Aaaaah, even the four paw pads are pink! So cute!!

The Forest Cat paused for a few seconds, raising his paw to stamp the photo. Suddenly, his eyes widened: “What? This cute cat is male?…”

Wait, didn’t the staff say to choose a female guest? The contract had been signed… is it possible to change to a male guest now?

The Forest Cat fell into deep thought.

The staff had no choice but to awkwardly prompt: “Forest Cat, have you decided on your heart-throbbing cat?”

After a brief hesitation, the Siberian Forest Cat walked off with a blank expression, but not before turning back and casting one last glance at the photo of the white cat.

Damn, who wouldn’t like a cotton-like ball with pink ears?

The Forest Cat was slightly reluctant.

【What the heck, he didn’t choose anyone? None of the handsome men or beautiful women caught his eye!】

【Haha, in contrast to the cotton-like ball, who chose every cat, this one chose none.】

【Just now, he lingered on the cotton-like ball’s photo for so long. I thought he was going to choose it, but unfortunately, the cotton ball got so scared it didn’t dare come out from under the table.】

The staff was starting to feel numb. Why wasn’t the second male guest following the usual script either?
