Gender-swapped Beautiful Girl, the Godly Rich System Takes Me to New Heights!

72: The implementation of the ”Longcheng Animal Protection Law”During the run, her lungs still burned like fire, and her legs felt as heavy as lead.

So tired... so very tired... Lei Jun wailed.

But for the sake of godly tycoon coins and to exchange for the Photographic Memory skill, she had to persevere!

Keep going, Lei Jun, you’re the best!

After finally enduring the three kilometers, Lei Jun practically crawled back home.

After taking a hot shower and washing away the sticky sweat, she felt a bit more alive.

Then, she tied on an apron and walked into the kitchen.

She found that she was enjoying the cooking process more and more lately.

Slowing down time, preparing food with her own hands for herself and those around her, and feeling the changes in every ingredient was actually quite nice.

This focus and dedication allowed her to find a sense of grounded and peaceful happiness that was different from fast-paced entertainment.

She simply made a fried egg, toasted some bread, and heated some milk.

She tasted the breakfast she made; although the flavor was still ordinary, it was at least edible.

She observed the expressions of Lei Ying and Lei Yue and noticed that they didn’t frown while eating, and their swallowing movements were much more natural.

It seemed her culinary skills were slowly improving.

She felt a little smug.

After finishing breakfast, Lei Jun really didn’t know how to pass the remaining dozen or so hours.

The feeling of not using entertainment apps was truly, truly, truly uncomfortable!

Should she go back to sleep?

Lei Jun tried to lie down and close her eyes, attempting to deal with the boredom by sleeping.

But after closing her eyes, she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

There was nothing she could do; she wasn’t sleepy at all.

She had no choice but to get up and find something to do.

Looking at Pet Name, who was chasing its own tail, her eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed the little fellow, held it in her arms for a round of intense kissing and petting, and played with it using a cat teaser for nearly half an hour.

But when Pet Name got tired and went to sleep on its own, she became bored again.

She thought about it and decided to go to a massage parlor to get a massage and kill some time.

So, she immediately grabbed Lei Ying and Lei Yue and headed straight for the massage parlor.

She ordered a full-service package.

Full-body massage, ear cleaning, cupping, gua sha... the senior technician responsible for serving her was professional and exclaimed, ’Madam, your skin and temperament are truly the best I’ve ever seen!’

’Many celebrities and influencers come here often, but compared to you, they’re simply far behind.’

Faced with such praise, Lei Jun’s heart remained unruffled; she just gave a polite smile.

She had heard similar compliments too many times and was long since immune.

After the two-hour massage ended, Lei Jun walked out of the parlor feeling refreshed all over.

She swiped her card readily, spending over five thousand yuan, feeling it was money well spent—at least she had passed two hours of her internet detox in high quality.

However, looking at the time displayed on her phone, with a long dozen or so hours left until the 24-hour mission ended, Lei Jun fell into worry again.

What should she do next?

After thinking for a moment, Lei Jun had an idea.

That was to spend the next dozen or so hours tasting all kinds of delicacies in Longcheng.

To eat every delicious thing there was.

Hmm, a good idea!

No sooner said than done—go go go, let’s set off!

So, for the next dozen or so hours, Lei Jun had Lei Ying drive her through the streets and alleys of Longcheng in search of delicacies... At 6:30 PM, just as Lei Jun and the others were tasting the delicacies.

Something big happened in Longcheng.

On the evening news of Longcheng Television, the host said seriously:

“Following an emergency meeting of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Longcheng City will officially implement the longcheng animal protection management regulations starting today.”

“The regulations explicitly state that from now on, within the administrative region of Longcheng, acts of malicious abuse or killing of companion animals such as cats and dogs will be considered criminal acts, punishable by up to three years in prison...”

This news was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a massive stir in Longcheng.

Longcheng instantly boiled over because of this news.

“Finally, this day has come. Seeing those cat abuse videos before made me so angry I couldn’t sleep. Now there’s finally a law to rely on. Longcheng government, well done!”

“So bored they’ve got nothing better to do. They can’t even manage people properly, yet they’re worrying about animals? A waste of taxpayers’ money!”

“While I don’t hate cats or dogs, I feel this is a bit of an overreaction. Just a bit of education would suffice, why legislate?”

“I support this. Those perverts who torture and kill small animals should go to jail. Seeing those videos makes me furious!”

“Heh, just another vanity project.”

“Legislation is a good thing, but I hope the enforcement is thorough and not just all talk and no action.”

“Whatever, I don’t have pets anyway. Let them do as they please.”

“Hilarious. Cat abuse is a moral issue; isn’t escalating it to a crime a bit too exaggerated? Will stepping on an ant get you arrested in the future?”

“I’m not against protecting animals, but can we avoid a one-size-fits-all approach? What if someone acts in self-defense, like if a cat attacks a person and they fight back—does that count as a crime? The details need to be clear, right?”

This news shot onto the trending lists of major social platforms like TikTok, Bilibili, RED, and Weibo with astonishing speed.

On TikTok, the most popular videos under related topics quickly surpassed a million likes, and the comment sections were in an uproar.

Netizens from all over the country flooded in, turning the place into a debate forum.

“I envy the people of Longcheng. There’s plenty of news about cat abuse here too; when will we have this kind of law?”

“F*ck, so many damn ’holy mothers.’ Are animals more precious than people?”

“It should have been like this long ago. I saw someone throw a cat off a building before, and they were only given a verbal warning. That was too ridiculous. Longcheng has truly made progress this time!”

“Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction? Shouldn’t the law prioritize human issues? For example, unpaid wages or school bullying—aren’t those more important than cat abuse?”

“Is Longcheng just too bored? Many foreign countries aren’t even this strict. Who are they trying to impress with this special treatment?”

“I suggest promoting this nationwide, but the premise is that the details must be perfected so that good people aren’t wrongly accused while bad people find loopholes.”

“Regardless, this is the first step of progress. It’s better than doing nothing. I support Longcheng!”

“I oppose this! Trash Longcheng! I’m afraid that if my child accidentally steps on a neighbor’s cat in the future, they’ll be hauled off to jail. This law is too extreme!”

Even foreign social media platforms were flooded with this news.

On Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, comments from netizens across various countries were diverse.

The influence of this matter even spread rapidly abroad, with major foreign social platforms and news media beginning to report on it one after another.
