Chapter 23: The Cat With "Abundant Energy"

After finalizing the physical appearance of the lifeform he intended to create, Bai Chen began to ponder what kind of traits he should bestow upon his cat-girl.

His remaining energy reserves were not particularly abundant, having recently exhausted the vast majority of his stockpile to create the "Great Elephant Art" and the "Nether-Blade Manual" for Luo Feng. However, Bai Chen was not worried about running dry; when Luo Feng was still at the Warlord level and out hunting monsters, Bai Chen had managed to accumulate over ten thousand points of energy through the medium of tasks in just half a month. Now that Luo Feng had reached the Warlord level, the rate at which he could harvest energy would be far, far faster. The creation cost of a single cat-girl was equivalent to hunting only a few high-level commander-grade monsters.

"First, the personality," Bai Chen mused.

Once the personality was settled, it was time for the abilities. Bai Chen’s original intention in creating the cat-girl was to alleviate his own loneliness, but beyond that, it would be best if she could assist in Luo Feng's growth. After much deliberation, he had a rough plan.

[Ability Settings]
First: Spiritual telekinesis with an aptitude for the Beast-Tamer lineage.
Second: Wind-attribute aptitude.
Third: Sensory perception.

Just as Bai Chen was considering adding the third ability, he checked the projected energy consumption and realized it was nearing his limits. With a sigh, he stopped and canceled the [Sensory Perception] ability.

"I can only add it later when I have more energy," Bai Chen said with a hint of regret. This ability was the core of what he wanted to give her—a support skill that could help Luo Feng—and it was also the most energy-intensive. Even at the Immortal stage or higher, sensory perception remained critically important.

"Finally, the strength setting," Bai Chen had long since planned for this. Creating a cat-girl with high combat power from the start was the most wasteful and inefficient approach. It was like the difference between a "Power Lollipop" and a "Body-Forging Pill"—the former provided an immediate, side-effect-free boost in strength, while the latter required a process of absorption and digestion. That simple difference in process reduced the energy cost by four or five times.

Therefore, Bai Chen’s initial plan was to create a cat with ordinary strength and then boost her capabilities by creating other low-cost items. She didn't need to be incredibly strong; since she was intended for support, having sufficient survival capabilities would be enough.

"Create!" Having finalized all his settings and confirmed everything was in order, Bai Chen hesitated no longer and activated his ability.

His remaining energy began to plummet. When only fifty points remained, a petite, naked figure, over 1.5 meters tall, appeared before him. A moment later, the newborn life, gifted with a soul, slowly opened her eyes, revealing pupils the color of rubies. Cat ears flickered on both sides of her forehead, and a fluffy white tail swayed behind her.

Bai Chen looked at the lifeform before him and nodded with satisfaction. Just judging by her appearance, she was perfect!

"I really am something," Bai Chen felt the sense of fulfillment one gets from crafting a flawless character in a game. With a thought, he spent a negligible amount of energy and some commander-grade monster materials to create a blue-and-white sailor suit, which he tossed to the naked cat-girl, who was staring at him with her ruby eyes like a curious baby.

The defensive properties of this outfit were on par with the Grade 7 combat suit worn by Luo Feng, capable of resisting the destructive force of most low-level lord-grade monsters. However, since he had prioritized aesthetics, it was naturally less practical than a full-body combat suit.

"From now on, your name shall be..." Bai Chen pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Let's call you 'Energy-Plenty'!" It was a name with a good omen.

"Energy-Plenty, meow?" The cat-girl sat on
