Chapter 318: Chapter 316: Chocolate or Defu?_1

"——Fuck, it changed, it really did!"

"——Someone help, Chocolate has changed!"

"——Guna, Chocolate is using my body!"

Defu was spitting mad, meowing furiously as she engaged in a heated back-and-forth with onlookers on the forum.

She was genuinely so angry that her fur puffed up——

Because normally, she would never back down. And if she didn’t back down, she naturally wouldn’t get angry.

She found it incredulous.

...How did this even happen?

"Defu... sis?"

Dark Vision cautiously crouched down, looking at the fluffed-up brush cat: "Think about the good news, at least you won’t be too tired anymore... How about I carry you? Or maybe Chocolate can pack you up and carry you on his back or something..."

And then he almost got his face scratched by the cat.

"Meow——"

Defu looked up and let out a sharp meow.

And she translated her meow on the forum:

"Don’t touch me! And don’t touch Chocolate either!"

Dark Vision felt very wronged.

Before this, touching Defu was fine, and touching Chocolate was fine too... Defu was like an elder to him, always gentle in her attitude; Chocolate had always been quite affectionate towards him—that’s why he had sniffed him before.

Why is it that after the person and the cat swapped bodies, suddenly no one could touch either of them?

And with this spectacle, the forum’s messages went off the charts.

Everyone, whether they were busy or not... except for those whose internet had temporarily cut out, were called by their friends to come and witness Defu turning into a cat.

And this only made Defu feel even more embarrassed——

Especially since her student, Delicious Goose, couldn’t help but blurt out:

"To be honest... I think the cat is cuter than you."

"——What the hell!"

Xitan Pulan: "Don’t you think Chocolate is quite frisky now, Defu meow?"

"——You wait for me too!"

"——You’ll take good care of my body, won’t you?"

"——Hehehehe, I will take good care of it..."

"Alright, alright..."

Dark Vision hurriedly tried to mediate: "Let’s not look at the forum anymore, let’s hurry up. Xitan Pulan is still lying in the street.

"I just won’t touch you then... How about letting Chocolate carry you? You might not be accustomed to the new body yet. What if you crawl into the backpack? That way we can move faster."

Dark Vision said this, but the corners of his mouth struggled to stay down.

It’s no good, a downcast Defu is a little bit funny...

But he couldn’t laugh, another laugh and he might get scratched by the cat.

Defu was silent for a while and realized she couldn’t ignore the forum; she still had to use it to translate simultaneously:

"No need, I will make use of this body. Chocolate can run very fast.

"I can also direct Chocolate to move forward, no bother... What is all this, really!"

She couldn’t help but let out a meowing sigh.

Chocolate imitated Defu’s usual action of petting himself, squatted down, and touched Defu.

Defu looked up in astonishment to meet Chocolate’s gaze.

This moment almost made Dark Vision burst out laughing.

Dark Vision cleared his throat, struggled to suppress the laughter bubbling up, stiffened his face seriously, and said: "Maybe it’ll be undone once we get out of here. Defu, you could look on the bright side... Maybe you could even change your profession to some rare one, who knows?"

"...Meowth or Popped Lotus Seed?"

Defu hung her head in despair and sighed, "I am supposed to be a Beast Hunter..."

Of course, now it hardly mattered.

Defu had allocated all the experience gained from killing Jude into the Hunter profession, and she put all her acquired skill points into the "Empathic Mind" ability, successfully levelling it up to level seven:

"Empathic Mind LV7: You can seamlessly communicate with your animal companion within a 350-meter radius and switch perspectives with a brief delay."]

"At LV4: Switching perspectives no longer has a delay, and switching also exchanges smell and hearing."]

"At LV7: Switching perspectives also exchanges the sense of touch, and activating this ability no longer consumes extra energy."]

Now that the skill had reached level seven, Defu could switch senses with Chocolate at any time.

Although activating the skill consumed no energy, maintaining it still did.

But if she switched frequently enough, it was as if she could barely switch bodies back...

In simple terms, it was like dual line operation—

Because this exchange of consciousness had hierarchical permissions.

It was less an exchange... and more of a projection.

Because Chocolate couldn’t freely control her body, only perform the last action, but she could freely control Chocolate’s body and arrange the next action before leaving.

For instance, Defu could maintain a certain action before switching her consciousness back. After cutting off the switch, Chocolate would continue that action with her own intelligence and instinct, until the goal of that action was met or Defu issued a new command.

If there were no other commands afterward, then Chocolate would act freely.

Defu had originally used this skill to control Chocolate’s cat body, to locate the enemy or disrupt their attention, or even launch a solo sneak attack.

In previous training, she often used Chocolate’s body to move.

Back then, Defu found it quite novel... She had even practiced especially on how to better utilize a wildcat’s body to stealth or launch attacks.

Because of Defu’s wisdom and judgment, the attacks she controlled with Chocolate’s body were much more cunning and tricky than those Chocolate launched on her own.

She had muttered back then that it would be great if she could become a cat...

...and she never dreamed that it would actually come true.

The cat body motion that she had practiced for fun back in the day had become the fundamental skill that supported her running.

Nowadays, "Defu" was still a Beast Hunter.

However, what changed was that she went from being a passive marksman to a manual shooter—

Before the two of them, along with the cat, set out, Defu took aim at a nearby tree to run an experiment.

The result was unbelievably good: the cooperative combat power of Defu and Chocolate had actually increased.

Because her archery skills had almost become instinctual.

Her feel for the bow and arrow seemed to have also been inherited in this world.

Even without projecting her consciousness into Chocolate, Chocolate could shoot results akin to an ordinary archer’s using her body without even aiming.

It was just like when Defu herself shot based purely on feel without aiming.

Chocolate just didn’t know how to aim.

But compared with Chocolate... Defu became much more efficient using the cat’s body.

As an animal companion, Chocolate’s attributes also levelled up with Defu. It’s just that without special training and ceremonies, it wouldn’t gain new skills.

-- But that idiot Chocolate didn’t even utilize its "Dark Vision," "Silent Steps," or "Master of Stealth" abilities.

Once Defu used the cat’s body, it was almost like the team had gained an extra thief.

And the only cost was that the original Defu went from being an excellent longbow marksman and a good close and mid-range shortbow archer to simply a good close and mid-range shortbow archer.

She lost the ability to shoot beyond a hundred meters, but once she took control of the cat, the performance was much improved compared with relying on "AI".

...What’s going on, why am I suddenly starting to crave this?

Strange thoughts popped into Defu’s mind.

Speaking of which...

If under these current circumstances, this newly acquired "Curse Binding"... which name would trigger it, Chocolate or Defu?
