Chapter 275 A Cat Named Dumpy
Anna let out a sigh of relief when Jacob finally smiled. She went closer to him and said, "Mr. Shelby,
are you satisfied with my performance today? If you’re satisfied, could you do me a favor and return
my phone to me, please?"
"What do you want to do with your phone? Do you want to contact your ally?" asked Jacob as he
looked warily at Anna.
"No, you''ve misunderstood me. I have a virtual pet and I need to go online to feet it," Anna said
innocently.
"How old are you? Why are you still ying with a virtual pet?" Jacob was speechless.
"I’m six years old this year. Do you have a problem with that?" Anna answered boldly. 1
Gooseflesh coated Jacob''s skin as he was not used to Anna''s sudden change in behavior. He
pulled a face and looked at her expressionlessly.
The thing that Anna feared the most right now was when Jacob pulled his face. She shrunk back a
little and said sheepishly, "Okay, fine, fine. Just forget about it. You don''t have to look at me like
that."
Jacob took a deep breath and fished Anna’s phone out. He handed the phone to her and instructed,
"You stand here and feed your pet in front of me. Don''t do anything stupid as I''ll be watching you."
"Sure, sure, I won’t do anything stupid, I promise!" Anna was overjoyed. She took the phone over
from Jacob. As she maneuvered nimbly through her phone, she said, "This is my cat. I named it
Dumpy. See, if we feed this golden can to Dumpy, it will increase its level of hunger for 90 points.
The silver can''s effect is not so good, but..."
"Shut up," Jacob rolled his eyes and ordered.
"Alright, alright," Anna replied poutingly.
Jacob watched her y with the virtual pet and he felt speechless. The virtual pet was even more
troublesome than a cat in real life. Not only did she need to feed it, but she also had to bathe it and
y with it. However, those were not the things that made him speechless the most. What left him
speechless the most was that she even had to send the cat to talent ss like piano ss.
A cat learning a piano? What the hell was that?
"I have smashed all the points into talent, and yet my cat still can''t pass the Grade 10 piano
examination,” Anna said disappointingly.
''It’s just a cat! You already have to send it to piano ss, but you also want it to pass the Grade 10
piano examination? Are you raising a monster or what?'' Jacob chided Anna for her craziness
inwardly. That being said, when he saw the disappointment on her face, something in his heart
moved. Then, driven by a mysterious force, he instructed coldly, "Give me your phone." "Hold on.
Let me..." Before Anna could finish her sentence, Jacob snatched her phone away.
Anna thought Jacob was going to keep her phone away. She did not expect that he would pick up
whatever she left and continue the game.
"Huh? You love to y with virtual pets also?" Anna looked at Jacob in surprise. She felt like it was
not Jacob''s style.
Jacob rolled his eyes at her and then switched to the coding interface.
His finger danced nimbly on the screen and Anna could only watch in a daze.
A few minutester, after Jacob finished his work, he switched the interface back and returned the
phone to Anna. "It''s done," he said.
"What is done?" Anna was dumbfounded.
"The Grade 10 piano examination," Jacob answered without batting an eyelid.
''Huh?''
Anna''s eyes widened, and she attempted the examination again.
Then, Dumpy passed the difficult piano examination without any pressure.
Looking at the shiny Grade 10 piano certificate, Anna could not help cheering.
Jacob rolled his eyes at her again.
''Does she has to be so happy over such a trivial matter? Women are surely the kind of creature that
can’t be spected with normalmon sense.’
"How did you do it, Mr. Shelby? Could it be that you''re the legendary hacker?" Anna eximed,
looking at Jacob with glittering eyes.
"Nope. I’m just a programmer," Jacob replied tly.
He was stating the truth. Compared to his attainments in programming, he was considered as a
newbie in hacking.
"Programmer? Then you must be very popr,” Anna said as she searched for his name in the
search bar.
Then, tons of news regarding Jacob popped up.
"A talented youngster has appeared. Will he be the savior of Canada’s electronic industry?"
Other than being puffed by the official media, Anna found a lot of other foreign media as well.
"Smashed two world records in a row. A Canadian young man has shown the world that Canadian
technology is something not to be trifled with."
"The SL system set an 8-second record, surpassing the DC system to the top of the world."
It went without saying there were also some foreign media that doubted Jacob and the SL system.
They spected that the SL system was nothing but a hoax, and they did not believe it could defeat
the DC system.
The more Anna looked at the news, the more curious she became. Whether it was derogatory or
not, the fact that so many people discussed Jacob proved that he was someone not ordinary.
She also came across a video with the caption, "A young Canadian programmer smashed two
world records."
Piqued by her curiosity, she clicked the video.
The video was about the conference on that day. The reporters basically taped the entire process.
Anna began watching the video. Even though she already knew the oue, she was still engulfed
by rage when Joseph appeared with Wilson to find trouble with them.
However, the rage soon subsided and was reced with worry when Jacob epted their
challenge.
She could not peel her eyes away throughout the entire confrontation whichsted for about 30
minutes, and her expression changed as the video progressed.
When Jacob finally won, she could not help herself and jumped up in joy.
"Why are you so excited?" Jacob rolled his eyes when h e saw Anna dancing around with her arms
held high i n the air.
"I didn’t know that you were so good in programming, Mr. Shelby," Anna eximed. She looked at
Jacob as if she was looking at her idol.
"If you think bootlicking me will make me go easy you, I suggest you drop the thought," Jacob
squinted his eyes and warned.
"That’s not what I thought," Anna refuted. Then, she continued asking, "You made two world
records! You’re so awesome, Mr. Shelby. But I heard from hearsay that Wilson said he wanted to
eat cow pies that day. Is that true?"
Jacob raised one of his brows. Joseph had used a lot o f his connections and resources to cover
the matter u p. It was no longer visible from the press and videos, and it was only spread amongst
the hearsay.
"It’s true," Jacob replied.
"Woah! Please tell me more about it." Anna''s eyes lit u p. Initially, she thought it was just another
fake news. She did not expect that it was actually true.
Since Jacob was in a good mood right now, he began telling Anna the entire story.
Jacob was never a good storyteller to begin with.
However, although his tone was t and he made the entire story less interesting, Anna still enjoyed
the story very much. She even chuckled a few times.
After Jacob finished the story, Anna still felt that it was not enough. "Is that it, Mr. Shelby? Please
tell me more."
Her eyes were gleaming brightly, and Jacob had no idea why he felt she looked a lot like the cat
named Dumpy on her phone.
"Please tell me more, Mr. Shelby, please," Anna pleaded. 1

Jacob snorted coldly and his expression turned cold. H e snarled, "Are you the caretaker or I am the
caretaker? How dare you ask me to tell you a story?" 1
Anna was startled by Jacob’s sudden change in attitude. She jumped up and stood pitifully beside
his bed. "I''m sorry, Mr. Shelby."
The way she pouted her mouth and held her head low looked just like Dumpy as well.
Jacob felt something must have gone wrong inside of him. Right now, his mind was fully filled with
the woman’s quirky behavior and the virtual cat that kept blinking its two big innocent eyes.
