Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 140: Jealousy

The impact of this sentence on Sun Yuan was enormous and far-reaching, to the extent that it could possibly change the course of his life.

Sun Yuan was not unintelligent, and with a slight pondering, he understood Tang Jing's meaning.

The form of abilities is fixed, but potential is boundless.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

That's what it's all about.

Enhanced hearing, most of the time, is indeed only useful as a means to avoid danger.

But if he could really achieve what Tang Jing said, then the situation might be different.

Of course, there was no real need for him to listen to the sound of a stranger's blood flow, but it meant that he could observe the world from another perspective.

And it was a world that others could never observe.

The so-called Information Age.

Information is undoubtedly the most valuable.

When he could easily access any desired information, everything became possible.

Of course.

To achieve this step, even someone with half a brain could imagine how difficult it would be.

However, for abilities like Sun Yuan's, the thing he feared most wasn't a lack of effort but not knowing the right direction to put that effort into.

Once he had a goal, even if he knew the likelihood of achieving it in this lifetime was low, it would still lead to a significant change in his mindset.

And that's exactly how Sun Yuan was.

Ever since he was inspired by Tang Jing, his drive became stronger and more intense.

Even Chen Mu and the others noticed that the quality of his flattery had improved.

Tang Jing didn't just drop those words and leave.

Instead, she continued to enlighten him with one piece of advice after another.

"Can you discern the content written by a typewriter from the different sounds of its keys?"

"Can you hear a person's health condition from their body?"

"Can you hear what you want to hear in a noisy environment?"

"Can you accurately locate the place you want to listen to, even if you can't see it?"

And so on.

Numerous and varied, these dozen or so pieces of advice covered almost all the directions Sun Yuan could strive for.

And Sun Yuan, being quite determined, made rapid progress.

Just like this time, even though Du Jiajia didn't notice it for a while, he was the first to realize the difference between the two cats.

However, because his ability requires active deployment, he didn't detect the presence of the large animals approaching in advance.

...

Du Jiajia and Xiao Huang have recently entered a deeply attached stage, meeting twice a day for half an hour each time.

If it weren't for Tang Jing's suggestion, Du Jiajia even thought about sleeping with Xiao Huang at night, nestled in his paws.

Even with just an hour of meeting time each day, the spiritual connection between Du Jiajia and the cat has improved significantly.

Now, Du Jiajia can express some more complex emotions.

For example, showing affection or aversion towards a particular target, the cat can clearly perceive it.

As a result, they no longer need to worry about receiving a dead mouse. Du Jiajia can indirectly let Xiao Huang take care of it.

However, this emotional communication still can't be too concrete.

Just like Du Jiajia said, Xiao Huang is not her subordinate; they are equals. Everything the cat does is just voluntarily helping her once it understands Du Jiajia's feelings, as a friend.

As for the future and whether this relationship can progress further, even Tang Jing can't provide an answer.

"Not Xiao Huang?"

Everyone knows that Sun Yuan's abilities have recently made a breakthrough, so they don't doubt his judgment.

However, besides Xiao Huang, it's the first time other cats have visited here.

"Definitely not Xiao Huang, but from the sound, it seems like another young cat," Qian Fei, poking his head out from the observation tower, said.

Today is his duty shift.

However, because this cat smoothly came in from the side wall, there was no early warning.

Communication between the upper and lower levels of the observation tower is still challenging for now, but with Sun Yuan present, if there's an urgent situation, the members above will signal to him, and he will listen in.

At 80 centimeters height, an ordinary person can only hear a vague sound and can't make out the specifics. But of course, that's not a problem for Sun Yuan.

"Qian Fei says there's a white cat outside, also a young one, and it's been wandering around outside. Seems quite well-behaved," Sun Yuan relayed Qian Fei's words.

"Could it be Xiao Huang's sibling? Didn't Du Jiajia mention they had several kittens in one litter? Maybe it smelled Xiao Huang's scent here, so it stopped," someone speculated.

As they spoke, the cat outside continued to walk around the door, occasionally meowing.

It didn't scratch at the door like Xiao Huang; its temperament seemed to be more gentle.

A cat that doesn't scratch at doors is a good cat; if it quietly stays at the entrance, everyone wouldn't mind.

But they are unsure if there will be any conflicts between the two cats once Xiao Huang arrives.

"Should Du Jiajia try to tame another cat?" Zhu Hao asked.

"What are you saying? Am I the type of person who is indecisive?" Du Jiajia replied discontentedly.

"It's just a cat. Some people keep several pets, you know?"

"Xiao Huang is not a pet!" Du Jiajia emphasized seriously.

Zhu Hao raised his hand in surrender and said, "Alright, alright, he's your friend, but, can't friends have several friends? Isn't your cat being a bit possessive?"

"Um... you have a point," Du Jiajia admitted.

In the end, Du Jiajia still preferred cats, and she also wanted to know if her ability could communicate with two cats at the same time.

The white cat had a gentle temperament and had never shown any aggressive behavior.

"But how should I do it?" Du Jiajia asked.

"Play with the cat. Aren't you the best at that? It looks quite gentle," Zhu Hao suggested.

Everyone threw in random suggestions.

However, just then, from a distance, there seemed to be another cat's cry, with obvious signs of anger and urgency in the voice.

Sun Yuan concentrated and said with surprise, "This time, it really is Xiao Huang."

Everyone was taken aback and a bit worried about what might happen when the two cats encountered each other.

But as they worried, exactly what they feared happened.

After Xiao Huang arrived, without a second word, he pounced on the white cat.

Although they couldn't see inside the room, they could hear the sounds of the two cats fighting.

Cat fights were not usually very fierce, but they still managed to make a mess of the floor. The two round bodies kept colliding with the wooden door, and dust was flying in from the gaps.

"What's going on? Do they have such a huge grudge against each other?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe they're just playing."

"The noise doesn't sound like play."

"..."

"But how coincidental that Xiao Huang came over just at this time..."

As they spoke, they all looked at Du Jiajia again.

Du Jiajia looked embarrassed and said, "It's my fault. I had the thought of approaching the white cat just now, and Xiao Huang must have picked up on that idea..."

They were momentarily stunned, then quickly understood.

What a character.

This little troublemaker, is he jealous?
