The System Mistook Me for a Cat

Chapter 190

"Um... I'm going to Antarctica. These two months are summer in Antarctica, so the weather won't be too cold. I'll be accompanied by a professor from the university, which is like an early admission for me," Chu Tingwu paused, "I'll ask Sanwuwu for her opinion. If she agrees, I'll send her to stay with you during the New Year."

The person on the other end of the phone was Teacher Zhang, but the lower half of the screen was blocked by a pair of pitch-black cat ears. Shikuai, seemingly hearing a familiar voice, kept nudging toward the camera, but not even her eyes were visible.

However, through the camera, Chu Tingwu could still see the thick snow on the windowsill.

This year for the New Year, Teacher Zhang and Aunt Mei would be staying in Russia. They were staying at Grandma Narcissa's house, where they had played cards together before, in a city near the Arctic Circle. Perhaps stepping outside, they might even catch a glimpse of the aurora.

Chu Tingwu was also heading to a place with auroras, but the Antarctic Circle was currently experiencing polar day—endless daylight with no nights—so naturally, there would be no chance to see the beautiful auroras.

This year, Chu Tingwu wouldn't be able to spend the New Year with Sanwuwu. Although Sanwuwu could probably take care of herself on the ranch, Chu Tingwu still wanted the cat mom to spend the holiday with familiar people and cats.

Zhou Qiang had already returned to her hometown, and Chu Tingwu was starting to pack her things—

On New Year's Day, she met Professor Mi again. Perhaps because she was a "minor," Professor Mi had specifically arranged for a student to pick her up by car.

They would head to the airport together, transfer flights multiple times, and eventually land at an air force base in Antarctica, then take a vehicle to the re

[I just checked the pre-order numbers. An hour ago, it was in the five digits, but after I finished eating, it’s already in the seven digits?!]

[Please, I want to win the golden ticket to the chocolate factory too! I have three cats at home, I’ve triple-liked all of Chu Tingwu’s videos, and I even eat from cat bowls bought on the 365app! Doesn’t that prove something?]

[↑Prove that you’re a weirdo?]

Some players were just voicing their thoughts, while others had already started taking action.

The beta test slots were limited, and while only six were allocated to overseas players... it didn’t hurt to try, right?

Comparing the participation ratios, it might even be easier to win by competing in the foreign players’ pool.

At 6 p.m. on the day the lottery results were announced, people noticed that next to the five major country IPs, there was also a player with an IP from the Republic of Magana, with a garbled username.

Five minutes later, the post was edited, and the player’s name disappeared. The total number of winners was reduced to five.

Players: "..."

They knew it.

Only some non-gamer bystanders were confused: "What’s going on? Was there some shady manipulation?"

The players responded with a knowing air: "No, if it’s the Republic of Magana... that’s completely normal."

Because when purchasing the game on the platform, switching to that IP was the cheapest option!

The person who was just selected was clearly a fellow countryman, and the company found out, so they had to redraw.

Redraw...?

Wu Voice Group announced that night: The IP was indeed switched by a domestic player, which didn’t meet the requirements. However, since the lottery was based on purchases, all prizes were already sealed and couldn’t be redrawn.

So, they contacted the actual user of the Magana Republic IP and asked if they would like to participate in the beta test. The user happily agreed.

The domestic player who switched the IP lost their chance to participate in the beta test, but it was fine—a lucky person from Magana got the opportunity instead!

And they were very grateful!

[Does anyone know this unlucky person? Can they come out and say a few words? We won’t make fun of them, we’re just really curious...]

[How are they feeling right now?]

Chu Tingwu: "..."

The player’s feelings were unknown, but their Siamese cat was probably not in a good mood.

Because the owner kept frantically sending the company’s lottery account various posed photos of the cat, trying to prove that the game was bought by the cat, that the cat was a foreign cat, and that the cat was good and deserved to play.

Give the cat another chance!

Better yet, let the cat bring its human servant along. After all, the noble Siamese cat needs care, and the servant can even bring their own food—no need to cover travel or accommodation expenses!

Give the cat (and its poor servant) another chance!
