You Are So Special

"You... you little bastard, don't run!"

Zhou Yue was chasing this troublemaking cat, and he was absolutely furious.

This thing was incredibly slippery, actually using the terrain to run circles around him.

Sometimes it looked like it was about to launch a "Meow Meow Punch" to attack, but it actually used the "Meow Meow Punch" to accelerate and run away...

At this point, Zhou Yue had no ranged weapons, only his fists, and he simply couldn't catch this troublemaking cat.

Seeing that Zhou Yue couldn't catch it, the troublemaking cat even provocatively wagged its tail, looking incredibly cocky.

"What the hell..."

Zhou Yue was baffled and shouted to the others.

"This troublemaking cat is acting like some spoiled brat... Damn! It's messing with me again!!"

Listening to Zhou Yue describe it through gritted teeth, the others all shook their heads, saying that the Pals they encountered were perfectly normal.

Zhong Yi analyzed: "Lao Zhou, don't lose heart. This Pal clearly has higher intelligence than the others... It's probably a special breed! We have to catch it!"

...

...

After an enormous effort, Zhou Yue finally caught this incredibly mischievous troublemaking cat.

"Hmph, letting you guys spread rumors every day about my bad luck... See, just one Pal Sphere and it's tamed? And it's a special troublemaking cat!"

Zhou Yue couldn't help but show off a little.

He summoned the newly tamed troublemaking cat and pointed at the Fluffy Sheep ahead.

"Go, beat the Fluffy Sheep to a pulp so I can catch it!"

"Meow?"

The troublemaking cat looked at Zhou Yue with a confused expression, then its big round eyes blinked, and its brows drooped.

The troublemaking cat rubbed its belly, seemingly hinting at something.

Soon, Zhou Yue heard a rumbling sound.

[There is a hungry Pal in the team]

"You motherf..."

Zhou Yue's mouth twitched slightly.

Just a moment ago, when it was messing with me, it was bouncing around, and the moment I catch it, it's asking me for food?

What a shameless cat!

Zhou Yue cursed under his breath, then asked the others, "Can Pals get hungry? Is this shameless cat faking it?"

"They can get hungry. Not only Pals, but we get hungry too... There are wild berries and mushrooms by the roadside, just grab some and feed it."

Zhong Yi explained.

"Fine, fine..."

Zhou Yue glared speechlessly at the troublemaking cat clutching its stomach, reluctantly walked over to a bush nearby, and grabbed a handful of wild berries.

"Here, eat up and then get to work!"

Zhou Yue grudgingly stuffed one wild berry into the troublemaking cat's mouth, then put another one in his own.

Seeing the satiety meter go up a little, he patted the troublemaking cat's head.

"Let's go!"

But just a few steps later, the troublemaking cat hung its head again, clutched its rumbling stomach, and looked at Zhou Yue with a pitiful expression once more.

"You little...!!!"

Zhou Yue was itching with rage.

No choice, this was his only Pal at the moment, and he couldn't switch it out.

He went back to grab another handful of wild berries and fed both of them to the troublemaking cat.

"Alright now, right? Let's fight, let's fight!"

Zhou Yue, regardless of the consequences, pushed the troublemaking cat in front of the Fluffy Sheep, then gave the Fluffy Sheep a punch himself to force it into battle.

Finally, the troublemaking cat started to act, landing a Meow Meow Punch that knocked the Fluffy Sheep unconscious.

"Strange... It's supposed to be special, but the damage doesn't seem that high?"

Just as Zhou Yue was wondering about it, his eyes suddenly went wide——

That damn troublemaking cat, once again drooped its ears and pitifully clutched its stomach.

"You motherf..."

"Are you ever going to stop!!!"

...

Zhou Yue, with a darkened face, beat the Fluffy Sheep down to low health with his own fists and used a Pal Sphere to catch it.

"Damn it, I'll figure out what's wrong with you..."

Zhou Yue was fuming.

Curious, he entered the team interface and opened up the troublemaking cat's stat panel.

Four red traits appeared before him:

[Timid] [Gluttonous] [Bottomless Stomach] [Lazybone]

"..."

Zhou Yue sucked in a cold breath, his mouth twitching with anger.

"You're special... you're way too special!"

"You're specially good at eating!!!"

"Why the hell did I catch a Zhou Qiaoling in here!!! What a scam!!!"

...

...

Zhou Yue went back to the workbench, his face as dark as coal.

The other three had already caught their three Fluffy Sheep and completed the task. They were now chopping trees and mining ore, preparing to make the next batch of Pal Spheres.

"Oh, Lao Zhou is back? Face so dark, don't tell me you couldn't catch three Fluffy Sheep with six spheres?"

Zhong Yi joked cheerfully.

"Pfft, you're the one who can't catch Fluffy Sheep... I caught three Fluffy Sheep with just five spheres, okay!"

Zhou Yue shot Zhong Yi a glare, his face turning even darker.

"How could my face not be dark after catching a Zhou Qiaoling here..."

"Hey, don't blame me for that! Me and my Pipi Chicken get along just fine~"

Zhou Qiaoling grinned and handed a wild berry to her Pipi Chicken, which happily spun around after eating it.

"Alright, now we need to set up a base!"

Zhong Yi cleared his throat.

The previous tasks were guiding them to learn how to make tools and catch Pals.

Next was the Pal Terminal.

Zhong Yi had come back early, so he had already looked into it.

After placing the Pal Terminal, a certain area around it would become buildable territory.

He had now reached level 5.

He had unlocked base facilities like [Ranch] and [Berry Garden].

"We need a lot of things right now—equipment, Pal Spheres... all require a ton of resources."

Zhong Yi pointed at the surrounding trees and Pal Ore, then looked at the other three.

"That means someone has to stay behind for logistics and gathering resources... Who's it going to be?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them immediately turned their backs, not even meeting Zhong Yi's eyes.

If this were Minecraft, everyone would want to stay at home and build.

But Palworld was different.

The Pal Continent at this moment was way too tempting for them!

Anyone would want to explore farther, catch some brand-new Pals.

"Alright, let's go draw lots outside?"

Zhong Yi suggested.

"Whoever draws the short straw stays behind for base-building. Haha, at least there's Lao Zhou at the bottom, it definitely won't be me..."

...

Five minutes later.

"Brother Zhong, good luck!"

"Brother, bring back lots of Pal Spheres!"

"Hahaha, your jinx proved even stronger this time!"

The three waved goodbye to Zhong Yi cheerfully, happily running toward the plains below.

Leaving Zhong Yi alone, stuck miserably at the base, staring at a chest full of materials in distress.

"Damn it, damn it!!!"

Zhong Yi was miserable.

He wanted to catch Pals too!!!

But no way around it—he was an honest man. He could only hunch over the workbench, silently crafting Pal Spheres.

Crafting one Pal Sphere didn't take very long.

But he couldn't leave.

And crafting dozens of them at once meant he had to stand at the workbench, painfully waiting for the time to pass.

"Ugh, catching Pals is fun, but making Pal Spheres is not fun at all..."

Zhong Yi sighed helplessly.

"If only someone could help me now..."

Just as he was speaking, a pair of chubby pink hands suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"???"

Zhong Yi looked up in surprise.

The Mischief Cat he had brought along was standing next to the workbench with a serious expression, helping him roll Pal balls!
