Lion Head and Airplane"s eyes were similarly filled with suspicion and wariness as they stared at their future companions. Their expressions emanated a strong wave of hostility when they made eye contact with these domestic cats.
However, Zhao Yao paid no attention to their behaviors. He just continued explaining the structure behind the Village of Dreams, the outskirt, core area and the heart of it.
Lucifer ran his fingers through the vast gra.s.s patch and a thought sprang in his head, "Are all of these really fake?"
Gaia grew more impatient by the second and started stamping his foot against the gra.s.s. He stared at Matcha and exclaimed, "Alright, I think we"ve spent enough time here. Can we go back now?"
Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes when he realized just how addicted these supercats were to computer games. However, he could empathize with what they were experiencing since he was once in their shoes.
Memories of his young self constantly pestering his parents for the game crossed his mind.
However, he still shook his head and mumbled, "Just a simple game like Diablo 2 can get you so addicted already? What will happen if I give them World of Warcraft, Dota, Pokémon, and the Witcher in the future?
Even though Diablo 2 would always be remembered as a cla.s.sic, many games had already surpa.s.sed it in terms of graphics, gameplay and even artistry style.
He propped his head on his chin and thought, "Furthermore, I have even prepared that game …"
Zhao Yao (disguised as Matcha) tilted his head towards Gaia and explained, "No, you will die if you continue spending 24 hours staring at that screen. I"ll only allow you to return after three hours of rest.
Zhao Yao"s words felt like a knife to Gaia"s chest as he collapsed to the gra.s.s and laid there motionlessly.
With the smile on his face, Zhao Yao turned to face the remaining cats and continued, "Alright, I think I have informed you about the most important things in this world. The rest is up to you to explore and find out."
With a snap of his fingers, Zhao Yao had disappeared from their sights.
Actually, Zhao Yao had simply turned himself invisible and was about to bring Matcha away. However, something tugged at his heartstrings as he turned around and spoke to Dust Ball telepathically, "Dust Ball, if anything happens, just return to your belly and inform me. I"ll be entering your belly from time to time. Do you need me to bring along a phone or a laptop to relieve you of boredom?"
Dust Ball simply shook her head in response. She had lived all her life as a stray cat and was indifferent to the dramas and games that had captivated Matcha and Elizabeth. To her, these were just too childish.
On the other hand, the forest and nature in front of her brought her back to the good old days where she could just roam around freely.
With a few leaps, Dust Ball had masterfully reached a tree branch perched on the top of a tree. A gentle female voice rang in Zhao Yao"s head, "This is so much more interesting than your house. Oh yes, can you bring Mango here as well?" Her favorite companion at home was Mango and this vast gra.s.s patch was the best place for them to chase one another around. Without a companion, it would certainly get rather boring …
Zhao Yao gave a bitter laugh and replied, "Not now." Zhao Yao did not want Mango littering the place with all his s.h.i.+t.
Zhao Yao noticed Dust Ball lowering her head in sadness as she began wandering around the place aimlessly. He immediately shouted, "How about another cat?"
"Another cat?" In her head, the images of all the cats in Zhao Yao"s apartment began racing through her head as she tried to select her ideal hunting partner. Suddenly, her eyes glittered with excitement as she exclaimed, "Can you send Roly Poly over instead? Also, remember to bring along some catmint!"
One hour later, Roly Poly had been robbed of his 5 senses as Zhao Yao cradled him in his arms and made his way into Dust Ball"s belly.
"?"
"Roly Poly, you will stay here and accompany Dust Ball." Zhao Yao instructed him as he carefully placed him on the ground.
Roly Poly still had no idea what was going on. He looked at his surroundings in confusion and asked, "What are we playing?"
"Hunting game!" Dust Ball exclaimed as she began jumping up and down. She continued, "Look at this place! It"s perfect for a hunting game!"
"Hunting game?" Roly Poly had an inkling as to what was going on and clarified, "Is it the game that you play with Mango back at home?"
"Yes!"
"Oh," Roly Poly just shrugged his shoulders and seemed rather indifferent with what Dust Ball said. Instead, he whipped out the phone from his bag and asked, "I think I"ll spend some time playing my phone games first. What"s the wifi at this place?"
Dust Ball tilted his head 90 degrees and replied, "There is no wifi here."
"Huh?" Terror overtook his face as Roly Poly began trembling in fear. He tried to compose himself as he mumbled, "It"s alright. I still have some data left. Why is there no signal in this place?"
Dust Ball"s forehead puckered together and replied, "This is a dugout, I think the signal reception here is quite bad."
A look of desperation crept up Roly Poly"s face as he stared blankly at Dust Ball, "No wifi, no data connection? Dust Ball sister, why did you even ask me to come here?"
"Obviously to play a hunting game!" Dust Ball began encircling Roly Poly at top speed. She exclaimed, "You will be the catcher for the first round!"
Dust Ball instantly disappeared into the forests, leaving behind a trail of smoke. Roly Poly stretched open his mouth as he collapsed to the floor, "Who is even interested in such a stupid game?" He began roaring at the top of his voice, "Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get me out of here!"
Dust Ball craned her neck out of the bushes and revealed her tiny head. She explained, "Zhao Yao had already left this place 10 minutes ago. However, there is still one way to get out if you"re really so bent on leaving."
Dust Ball mustered her most serious expression and said, "I"ll let you go back if you manage to catch me. You can do so by using my belly as a bridge. You"ll be back in a matter of seconds." Immediately, her head disappeared from the bushes and was nowhere to be seen.
Roly Poly let out his most menacing roar as he rolled around the gra.s.s patch in anger. He shouted, "Every single one of you never respected me, Roly Poly! All you know is to bully me! Are there still rules in this place? Do you really take me as a r.e.t.a.r.d that you can just push around and toy with?" Following the roar, Roly Poly leaped into the bushes and disappeared from sight.
After running less than 30 meters, Roly Poly was already out of breath as he fell to the ground. He muttered, "No, no, I cannot take it. This lady is too strong, too healthy. My strength lies in my burst speed, not my stamina. I need to take a break now."
Just when he was lying on the ground and trying his best to catch his breath, he noticed a slight movement within the bushes. A glint of excitement flashed across his eyes as he pounced in that direction, "I"ve got you!"
Just when he was getting all excited from catching Dust Ball, he lowered his head and realized that it wasn"t Dust Ball in his paw. It was another tri-colored female cat that was about the same size as him. She was none other than Lion Head.
Since their arrival more than an hour ago, the five supercats had scattered and started exploring the place on their own.
Lion Head had come all to way to the border of the Village of Dreams. She wanted to find out just how big this place was.
She never expected a male cat to pounce on her.
She opened her eyes and saw Roly Poly lying on top of her. Lion Head"s brain exploded with fury as she roared, "F*cking cat! You"re so fat and ugly! I"ll never let you lay your stupid paw on my body!" Lion Head then threw Roly Poly onto the ground with a shake of her body.
Roly Poly was extremely embarra.s.sed and apologetic for his action. He lowered his head and whispered, "You"re mistaken, I wasn"t trying to pounce on you. I"ve mistaken you for someone else."
"Mistake me for someone else? You don"t even dare to own up to your actions?" Lion Head raised her fat and thick paws in the air and sent a barrage of slaps across Roly Poly"s face. She exclaimed, "Never let me see you again!"
Roly Poly cupped his face with his paw as anger seared through his body. He thought, "You stupid fat b.i.t.c.h, how dare you lay a finger on me?" However, upon realizing Lion Head"s size, Roly Poly could only whisper, "You are really mistaken."
"Hmph, mistaken my a.s.s. Do you think I have no idea what you h.o.r.n.y male cats are thinking about? You are just after my beauty." Lion Head turned around before sauntering away.
Seeing Lion Head"s body disappearing into the horizons, Roly Poly held down his left paw using his right paw. "Clam down, Roly Poly. Do not kill another cat. Have you forgotten how strong you are? If you let your anger get the better of you, it will just end up in a bloodbath, a catastrophe that the world has never witnessed.
So you have to control and control. Do not let this spotted female cat infuriate you. You have a more important mission to attend to!"
Seeing that Lion Head had completely disappeared from his sight, Roly Poly finally roared in her direction, "Hmph, I"m letting you go this time around!" He then turned towards another direction and began his search for Dust Ball.
