Chapter 772: Money-losing stuff?
“Hello, I’m Alyssa’s friend.”
Lu Li walked forward slowly, with a friendly demeanor.
After all, the other party might be Alyssa's relative.
In Lu Li's opinion, regardless of whether one is a slave or not, necessary respect is still necessary.
Under the simultaneous interpretation of the data panel, several cat-people huddled in the shack soon showed expressions of realization on their faces.
One by one, they plucked up their courage, walked out of the shack cautiously, and moved towards Lu Li.
Lu Li actually wasn’t quite sure about the specific connection between the cat-man’s appearance and age.
But judging from the appearance of the cat-eared girl in my memory,
The three cat people in front of her should be about the same age as Alyssa.
"What's your name and what are you doing on Planet Palu?"
The leading cat-man with ginger fur on his face asked.
The Paroo are different from the Ogryn orcs.
Although they all have more or less beastly characteristics,
But whether male or female, the Ogryn orcs have thick hair growing on their bodies.
Among the Palu people, only male Palu grow hair.
Female Palus, like Alisa, usually only have hair growing on their ears and tails.
The rest of the skin is similar to that of humans.
If fed adequately and cared for properly, hairless skin could be smoother and more delicate than that of human females.
Therefore, the three Palu people with animal hair on their faces should be males.
"My name is Xing Anlin, and I'm Alyssa's friend." Lu Li repeated what he had said before, and added:
"I came to Planet Palu to look for Alyssa Baki, a Palu catwoman who is about this tall and about your age. Have you seen one?"
In terms of appearance, he had already used the [Strange Face of Mind] to replace his appearance with Xing Anlin during the transmission.
The main reason is that Palu is unfamiliar with the place.
Take more precautions and add an extra layer of insurance, and you will never go wrong.
Hearing this, the three male cat people looked at each other, and a look of vigilance appeared on their furry faces.
“What do you want to do with Alyssa?”
"I want to confirm where she is and whether she is safe." Lu Li noticed that the tone was wrong and frowned slightly.
Why so much hostility?
Aren’t these three Palu people relatives of Alyssa?
"I just wanted to make sure she was where she was and that she was safe."
"If I could, I would take her home."
Lu Li's tone remained unchanged, still very polite.
"Go home?" Another male cat-man with white fur on his face sneered:
"Which home should you go to?"
"This is Palu Star, this is her home!"
The last male cat man with black and gray fur on his face bared his teeth and agreed:
"That's right, you should go back."
"Alyssa has been chosen by the slave owner to become the 'resident spirit' that will open the nineteenth floor of the Abyss Tower!"
"She will not leave Palu Star, let alone go with you."
"What!?" Lu Li's eyes suddenly darkened:
"How did she become a 'layer-residing spirit'? What on earth happened?!"
The three male cat-men were frightened by Lu Li's sudden murderous intent. They all stepped back and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of them again.
His face looked haggard and he looked like a short-lived ghost.
He shouldn't be a powerful character.
Then he felt relieved again and continued:
"Of course she volunteered... Thanks to Alyssa, our family was spared two whole farming seasons of labor!"
"Yes, yes. I didn't expect that she would come back after being gone for so long, and was even chosen by the slave owner. That's really great..."
"My parents always say that she is a money-loser, but I think she is still somewhat useful. At least she can give us three brothers some free time..."
Maybe it’s because the Palu people have low IQ.
Or maybe it was because they were really happy that Alyssa was chosen as the 'Resident Spirit'.
The three of them spoke louder and louder, and became more and more excited.
He even forgot to observe the expression of the bleak-looking young man.
The look of celebration made Lu Li feel an uncontrollable anger in his heart.
He exhausted his last bit of patience and asked:
“So, where is Alyssa now?”
"Even if we knew, we couldn't tell you." The male cat-man with white fur on his face was quite arrogant:
"If we disturb the slave owners from conquering the Abyss Tower, we can't afford to be blamed for this!"
The other two male cat people echoed, "Yeah, we finally have some free time, we won't make ourselves unhappy because of that money-losing thing..."
"Okay." Lu Li said in a low voice, his head lowered slightly as if he had given up.
Just when the three Palu people thought the young man would leave, a chill suddenly spread around them!
There was no wind.
It is clearly the warm farming season.
But the chill was as severe as the coldest day of winter, and it still made the three Palu people shiver violently.
Invisibly, it seemed as if several invisible claws were pressing down on the top of their heads.
Seeing the emaciated young man said with disappointment:
"Since you won't tell me, I can only find it myself."
"The Five Fortune-Bringing Ghosts, search their souls for me!"
As soon as the words fell, the three Palu people suddenly stiffened.
At this moment, they only felt that countless crochet hooks were stabbing their souls madly!
Every memory stored in it is being roughly pulled out, looked through, and recorded!
The bone-chilling cold penetrates the heart, tears the lungs apart, and penetrates deep into the marrow!
Lu Li summoned Nikita and Li Luo to stand guard, while he calmed his mind and began to quickly read through the memories found by the five ghosts.
The more I read down, the stronger the nameless anger in my heart became!
Eliza was the first child born into an ordinary slave family.
Among the Palu people, cat people are a subspecies that are naturally weak.
The power of female cat-people is weaker than that of male cat-people.
Because Alyssa was a girl and could not do heavy physical labor, she was not welcomed since she was born.
In order to complete the birth task assigned by the slave owner as soon as possible, Elisa's parents immediately started the second child plan.
Finally, after a farming season, Alyssa's first brother was born, a male cat-man with ginger fur on his face.
Since then, the couple seems to have had good luck.
In the next two farming seasons, the third and fourth children were left alone.
They are all males.
The slave owner was very satisfied with the couple's performance, so he specially raised the taxes they had to pay every farming season.
The heavy pressure almost made the Palu couple breathless.
But when they thought about the three boys being able to share the family expenses and fill the labor gap when they grow up, smiles appeared on their faces again.
But this smile has never been shown to Alyssa.
From the perspective of the three male cat people, their sister was always being ordered around by their parents.
Eat the least food and do the most work.
Long-term malnutrition made her look much thinner than her peers.
But her parents always complained that she ate too much and did not work enough.
