Chapter 763 - Panther
The black cat AI smirked as his annoying older sister was given a time-out by their mother. However, the smirk was gone in a flash that their unsuspecting human parents failed to notice it. In addition, it was a little difficult to discern any expression on the black cat AI’s face because his fur was so dark that he almost looked like pure shadow. If one didn’t look too closely, his facial features couldn’t be seen except for its glowing golden eyes.
His tail swished lazily behind him. "Mother, Bacon would like to request a change of form, preferably something more impressive than this current one."
Iris frowned. She loved Bacon’s current form. Why would she change it?
"What form do you wish to change into?" Jin Liwei interjected.
Bacon shifted his golden eyes on his father. "I would like to have a bigger and more majestic form. For example, a panther."
Jin Liwei rubbed his chin as he thought about it. Iris tilted her head to the side and also contemplated the black cat’s request.
"A panther looks good," Jin Liwei murmured.
Bacon’s tail swished faster and his eyes glowed even more golden.
"Changing form should be possible with some extra work as long as it’s still within the feline family because your starting form is that of a house cat," Iris said.
Bacon’s black tail was now thumping hard like that of an excited dog, even though his face and the rest of his body remained still and seemingly unaffected.
Jin Liwei’s mouth twitched at this pretentious behaviour. At first, he thought that this black cat AI, which was also now his fourth child all of a sudden, would be the total opposite of Ketchup.

One was white, the other black. One was loud and chattered on endlessly while the other appeared more reserved and chose his words more carefully. One acted like a cute, naughty child while the other was still cute but acted more like a little adult.
Upon seeing Bacon’s tail thumping hard, however, Jin Liwei concluded that the two cat AIs might not be that different from each other after all. Both would still get excited over the littlest of things. One just expressed it openly in an over the top way while the other one tried hard to conceal it behind a calm mask. Bacon even managed to look bored while doing so, when in fact, he should be feeling super excited if his thumping tail was any indication.
This type of pretentious kid should be raised with a firmer and more disciplined hand or else he might grow crooked in the future. Unlike Ketchup who was like an open book, Bacon seemed to be naturally more cunning and two-faced.
Fortunately, it seemed that both cat AIs still had the emotional range of children. That should make it easier for Jin Liwei and his wife as the parents to figure out the most suitable way to direct their two cat AI children on how to develop in the future.
From what Jin Liwei had observed in this short period of time so far, Bacon might act more mature than Ketchup but that was only on the surface. The pretentious kid still hadn’t mastered the art of control yet. If he did, then his tail wouldn’t be thumping hard like an excited dog and betraying his real emotions despite showing an almost perfect calm façade.
"Will Mother grant Bacon’s wish?" the black cat AI asked in a calm, almost uninterested voice, as if his request was nothing of importance to him at all when in fact, the opposite was true.
"A panther form indeed looks good and majestic," Iris commented.
Bacon’s tail was now like a helicopter’s rotating rotor blades. Jin Liwei was surprised that Bacon didn’t start flying around with how fast his tail was moving. Despite the cat’s deceptively emotionless face, he was an utter failure in hiding his excitement.
Jin Liwei couldn’t help but look at his baby girl with pride, awe, admiration and respect for creating not one but two cat AIs with each of their own very distinct personalities. Ketchup and Bacon weren’t flawless by any means. They were like people who had their own character faults. And these two existences were all created by the woman he loved.
His wife was indeed a genius. Just like her two incredible creations, she also had her own flaws especially right now that her temper was all over the place due to her pregnancy. But to him, she was perfect as she was, flaws and all.
"I don’t mind changing your form into that of a panther," Iris said.
Bacon’s tail was now a blur. Was he trying to form martial arts seals with his tail like a ninja cat? No, he was just an overexcited little black kitten pretending to be a cool adult...panther.
"But not right now," Iris said, dashing the secretly excited Bacon’s hopes. "For me and your dad, both you and your older sister Ketchup are still babies. Having the form of adorable cats like your older siblings Ice Cream and Popcorn suit you the best for now. Perhaps if you could prove that you’ve matured and developed into responsible individuals who don’t need constant parental supervision, then I’ll grant your request to change forms in the future."
"En," Jin Liwei agreed with a nod. "Aside from that, your mom is also currently pregnant with your twin human siblings. Changing your form sounds like a lot of work surrounded by computers for long periods of time which might not be healthy to your mom and your younger siblings’ health. She can’t tire herself at this time, so you’ll have to be patient and wait longer. Be good and don’t fight with your big sister Ketchup."
Bacon’s tail had now stopped thumping. It was as still as the rest of his body. He looked like an unmoving shadow once again.
"Enjoy your cat form for now. Okay, Bacon?" Iris smiled at the gloomy, black cat. "Maybe you’ll end up loving it and won’t want to change into a panther anymore in the future."
