In Honkai with Tom Cat

Li Huan turned his head and gasped. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop slightly. A blue armored vehicle was slowly driving in through the door, and it was hard to believe that this vehicle was actually transformed from the previous bus.

"WTF?"

Li Huan blurted out a curse: "This thing has completely changed its type. Where did the bus go?"

"Who knows? Although we were involved in the construction process, we couldn't see what exactly happened."

Kiana said from the side, "Anyway, when we stopped, the vehicle just appeared in front of us."

I see…

Understanding the situation, Li Huan walked toward the vehicle. At the driver's seat, Tom was holding the steering wheel. Seeing the master approach, it rolled down the window and excitedly greeted him.

"Looks pretty good, Tom."

Li Huan entered the armored vehicle, gave Tom some praise, and then walked straight to the side door. Seeing that the master seemed about to enter, Tom quickly got out, changed into a butler outfit from who knows where, and stood solemnly beside Li Huan, making a gesture of invitation.

"Wait a minute, haven't I seen this scene before?"

Li Huan muttered as he opened the door. Upon seeing the interior, he closed the door immediately.

"Dammit, no way." He muttered, "I must be opening it the wrong way."

After a few seconds, he switched hands and opened the door again. After seeing the interior, he closed the door once more.

"This seems real…" Li Huan looked at Tom with a puzzled expression, "I mean, did you go a bit overboard?"

?

Seeing Tom's puzzled expression and its face showing it thought it hadn't done well, Li Huan sighed and patted its head, "It's not that you did badly..."

He continued, opening the door to reveal a large, luxurious living room inside. The space was far beyond what the exterior of the vehicle suggested, with sofas, chairs, tables, and a TV neatly arranged. The table was filled with fruits, drinks, and other guest amenities.

Entering the RV, the space was even larger than he imagined. Even standing upright, his head wouldn't hit the ceiling. Looking around, there was not only the living room but also a bathroom, a washroom, a bedroom, and a dining room—basically a complete house.

"What kind of compression technology is this? Did it come from Cybertron?"

Looking at the RV, which could practically be used as a house, Li Huan couldn't help but complain.

[For Tom, this is just a piece of cake.]

The system appeared, saying naturally: [For him, this is just the result of him seriously working on something, just like that sweater on you.]

"Every time I see what he does, it always resets my limits on what's possible."

Sitting on the sofa and feeling its softness, Li Huan marveled, "Comedic characters really are too scary."

The system encouraged: [Once you become a comedic character in the future, these things will become commonplace.]

"Hey, you can actually say something normal?"

Li Huan was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected the system to speak normally.

[My sharp tongue is to spur you, to make you aware of your shortcomings. Besides… a group of people have already complained about me criticizing you, so this kind of thing will happen less in the future.]

Li Huan looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

[Nothing.]

Hearing the system's vague response, Li Huan decided not to pursue the matter further.

Li Huan turned to Tom and asked, "Hey, Tom, by the way, what other functions does this vehicle have? Can you tell me?"

Tom nodded and took out the blueprint from earlier, handing it to Li Huan.

At first glance, Li Huan furrowed his brows. The blueprint looked very complex and would probably be incomprehensible to a layperson.

But after studying it for a while, he found that he gradually started to understand the content of the blueprint.

"Is this possible? Could it be that I actually have a talent for vehicle modification?"

[Don't think about it. Because you are Tom's master, you can instantly use and understand all the things Tom creates, just like the sweater on you.]

"Is there such a capability?" Li Huan was astonished.

[Remember the summoning notice you received before signing the summoning contract this morning? It mentioned this.]

"It was too long. Usually, such things are just signed off at the end."

After reading the blueprint, Li Huan stood up and asked Tom, "Tom, take me to the driver's seat."

Tom nodded and walked towards the front of the vehicle. There was a door in that direction, which Tom opened and made a welcoming gesture.

Li Huan walked in and arrived at the driver's seat.

Upon entering the cockpit, Li Huan felt a bit disoriented.

"I mean…" Li Huan looked at the cockpit, which was similar to a standard C1 manual transmission seat, "Inside is like a presidential suite, but the cockpit is still the same as a

regular manual transmission?"

After seeing the extravagant interior, the simplicity of the cockpit felt quite jarring.

[Isn't this a good thing? I remember you learned to drive right after your college entrance exams.]

"How do you know about that…"

[It's not strange. To better understand the host, our system generally has the authority to read your memories.]

"Just to let you know." Li Huan, sitting in the seat, replied with some hesitation, "I haven't driven in years, so I might have forgotten some things."

[You're saying this, but still getting in, which means you still want to drive.]

Hearing this, Li Huan gave a wry smile, buckled his seatbelt, and saw Tom do the same in the passenger seat.

Li Huan started operating the controls based on his memory, and after a while, the vehicle successfully started.

"Phew, luckily I didn't forget." Li Huan wiped his sweat, stepped on the gas, and drove to where Kiana and the others were.

He poked his head out of the window and called out to them, "Ladies, get in. We're ready to set off."
