A warm fuzzy feeling spread through Dust Ball as she lay comfortably atop a branch while her eyes gradually drawn shut. Moments later, her ears gave a slight shudder as she heard some noise from a distant.
"Hmph, no one shall take a pinch of catmint away from me!"
Immediately, Dust Ball"s tiny frame vanished into a vortex as she swallowed herself into her extradimensional belly.
Meanwhile, Cat Sage had already gathered his men and led them to their respective positions, a.s.suming their security outposts.
As for Ares and Sphynx Cat, their first job was naturally to recruit their buddies.
Ares"s eyes swept across the remaining supercats before he ordered with a curl of his lips, "The five sc.u.mbags over here. We are moving out now. Let"s go."
Ares and company had long regarded the extradimensional belly as their home. Hence, it was only natural for them to develop a certain animosity towards this foreign land.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth stood rooted to the ground. She noticed all those glances thrown at her by the surrounding supercats. Immediately, her lips curled into a wide smile, "A cat of my beauty can attract the attention of every single cat without me even trying. I guess the cat café shall continue to survive even if I"m the only one there."
Suddenly, she stretched her mouth open and poked her tiny pink tongue out. She just wanted to lick the fur on her legs.
"This disgusting island. They don"t even have a proper pavement for me. This place is filled with sand and dirt! Look at this, my feet are all dirty because of it."
Before Elizabeth even craned her neck forward, the surrounding male cats had already gathered around her.
"Let me help you!"
"Do you need me to lick your fur?"
"Move aside! I am the most talented cat in terms of fur licking! Let me through!"
"Is this place too dirty for your pristine feet? Come, step on my back instead!"
Elizabeth froze for a split second as she observed the troves of l.u.s.tful cats. Finally, she swept her head sidewards and retorted, "Stop bugging me." With that, she continued to groom herself.
"So beautiful!" Groans and moans erupted amongst the male cats as they scrambled off in all directions. Some of them were hiding behind the tall gra.s.s, branches or even the heaps of soil as they secretly observed Elizabeth from the shadows.
Obviously, Elizabeth noticed their creepy behavior and responded with a scowl, "What a bunch of childish cats." At this moment, two other beautiful ragdolls approached Elizabeth.
Catherine asked, "Elizabeth, I heard you had made quite some money over at the cat café?"
Diana chimed in, "Even though it"s a labor-intensive job but the money is definitely lucrative."
Elizabeth slid her family a condescending glare and noticed the excitement glimmering in their eyes, "You guys do know that I"m exchanging my youth and energy for money. Hence, I suggest that you give up on the idea. You guys are not cut out for it."
Diana intercepted Elizabeth"s words, "I"m not afraid of a little hards.h.i.+p! I want to earn money! I wanna recharge my credits in Love and Producer!"
Immediately, her absurd words were met with Elizabeth"s slap across her face, "Who told you to ever spend a dime on a game?"
With her brows tightly knitted together, Elizabeth reprimanded, "The cat café is a cruel world. You guys cannot even begin to imagine its brutality. Every day, tens of cats will go around acting all flirtatious with the customers, competing with one another.
On the surface, it might seem as if we are part of a big family. However, they will secretly splatter s.h.i.+t on your beautiful fur, shave your luscious fur, all in the name of stealing your customer.
Step by step, I finally ascended to the pinnacle of the cat café. However, it was not easy at all. What kind of treacherous methods have I not met already? You can never imagine the true magnitude of the viciousness capable by a cat until you set foot here."
A tinge of hesitation flashed across Catherine"s eyes. However, Diana jumped to her feet and responded, "I"m not afraid! With my sister ay my side, I am confident of reigning supreme in the café!"
Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised to see her determination. She nodded her head and pondered, "Indeed, it has been a long time since we"ve last welcomed a new cat to the café. It"s always nice to have some new blood."
With that thought still lingering in her head, another idea suddenly sprang along, "Recently, Zhao Yao has not hugged and played with me as often. However, with my mum and sister around, I might be able to command a more favorable position in his heart."
All those h.o.r.n.y cats staring secretly at the family of ragdolls began to exclaim with excitement.
"This is stunning!"
"These three beautiful cats …"
"They are adorable!"
Elizabeth"s eyes swept across the peeping toms as she ordered, "Alright if you"re interested in joining me, come out now."
Bam! One by one, all the l.u.s.tful cats sprang from their hiding spots and surrounded the beautiful family in an instant.
Currently, the initial framework for the six departments had been finalized with Matcha, Elizabeth and Roly Poly"s cats commanding the greatest number.
The cat warriors and the security forces were made up of a select few outstanding fighters. Meanwhile, the plantation department only comprised Dust Ball.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had led his logistics team to reorganize the island. This was done in conjunction with the bulk purchase of cat food, cat litter, cat toilet and even the internet wire, electrical wires, and generators. This was to ensure the island"s seamless internal connects with the extradimensional gates acting as gateways.
However, Zhao Yao was barely 10% done after spending the entire day toiling under the hot sun. However, he did manage to tidy his apartment and temporarily relocate the furniture to the island.
Because of Cheese"s absolute destruction of the apartment, it was in dire need of a complete makeover and renovation. The island was simply a temporary storage unit before the house was ready for them to return.
"Currently, I have one door on the island, one in the café and one resting at home. If it"s not too urgent, I guess I shall just refrain from using it during my battles."
The sofa was purposely perched on the highest point of the island. It provided the perfect spot for Zhao Yao to lie down and simply immerse himself in the starry sky.
"This is just like how the television had advertised it to be! The stars in the wilderness are truly brighter than your normal ones."
He was totally captivated by the sheer beauty of nature. Then, his eyes darted towards his mission panel as he awaited the dawn of the new month.
"Even though I can"t use the extradimensional gates as freely as I want, I"ve managed to gather quite a lot of experience points the past weeks. Also, the cats have been eating the legendary cat food, worth 100 experience points, on a daily basis. Coupled with tonight"s monthly mission, I should be able to simultaneously upgrade a few cats. I might even be able to maintain my exceptional fighting skills even without the gate."
Finally, the clock struck 12 and it was time to calculate the profits for the month.
After deducing the miscellaneous fees, tidbits, toiletries, the net profit totaled to RMB 995,495. This was equivalent to 1900 experience points which could be redeemed with a click as the new month"s mission kick-started.
With a wide grin stretched across his face, Zhao Yao tapped on the "X2 Exp Card" and instantaneously earned 1900*2 experience points.
Once again, the mission panel reflected the changes in the experience point"s column.
BOOK: lv6 (49102/20000)
Matcha: lv7 (4700/20000)
Elizabeth: lv6 (4200/10000)
Dust Ball: lv8 (6355/50000)
Ares: lv6 (5400/10000)
Lucifer: lv6 (2900/10000)
Sphynx Cat: lv6 (300/10000)
Zhao Yao pondered as he a.n.a.lyzed the available experience points, "I guess I shall just put the BOOK"s upgrade on hold temporarily, buying more time for Sphynx Cat to train. In that case, I"ll have 29102 experience points! Yes! So many experience points!"
This was the first time Zhao Yao had acc.u.mulated such a ma.s.sive amount of experience points. Just the sight of it was enough to send a warm fuzzy feeling running through him.
A delighted smile tugged at his lips, "In that case, which cat should I upgrade first?"
There were six supercats registered on his BOOK currently. All of them were carefully handpicked by Zhao Yao, each a talent in their very own field. He could no go wrong with any of them.
