Spirit cat was totally engrossed in Matcha"s Mobile Legends gameplay. Spirit cat only snapped out of it when Matcha kept his phone and followed behind Zhao Yao.
Spirit cat glanced at the clock in the café and was stunned by what it saw, "This is crazy. The phone is dangerous. I"ve fallen into its trap unknowingly. What happened?"
This was the first time it had watch Mobile Legend"s gameplay, and it felt an intense attraction to the game. Spirit cat even had an impulse to play it. It did not even notice how much time it spent watching Matcha"s game.
Spirit cat was apprehensive about this impulse. Since awakening its power, it had not felt such strong urge even when it came to food.
However, it had been captivated by Mobile Legends.
Zhao Yao sighed when he recalled that his Panamera was still stuck inside Dust Ball"s belly. He had to get an Uber because it would be impossible to bring four cats...o...b..ard a public bus.
s.h.i.+ Yu could not bear to leave the café because of the soothing effects of Celestial Beats. Since her exposure to it, she had enjoyed plenty of sleep, and even her complexion improved.
When Zhao Yao saw the look on s.h.i.+ Yu"s face, he suddenly asked her, "s.h.i.+ Yu, have you gotten fatter?"
"Huh? Really?" s.h.i.+ Yu immediately pinched her cheeks and got worried. She murmured, "It must be because of all the food I"ve eaten in the café."
"Bye," Zhao Yao chuckled as he saw the anxious look on her face. He waved goodbye as he boarded the Uber he booked.
Zhao Yao crashed on the sofa the moment he brought Baiquan and the cats home. It had been an extremely long day.
Baiquan opened the fridge and commented, "Master Zhao, there"s nothing left in the fridge, I"ll go out and get some stuff."
"What are you going to get?" Zhao Yao took out his phone and continued, "Maybe we can order delivery instead?"
Roly Poly pounced on Zhao Yao and stared with his Puss in Boots eyes, "Zhao Yao, could you kindly get me one some delivery food too?"
Zhao Yao rubbed his giant belly and stared straight into Roly Poly"s eyes, "You shall eat cat rice." He slapped Roly Poly"s huge stomach and said, "If you manage to slim down, I"ll consider treating you to KFC."
"Are you for real?" Roly Poly started jumping for joy and shouted, "I want the ten-piece KFC All-Chicken Bucket.
"I"ll treat you to it once you hit 15 pounds."
The smile on Roly Poly"s face immediately inverted into a frown. He currently weighed more than 20 pounds. It would be a herculean task for him to drop his weight to 15 pounds.
Baiquan interrupted, "Master Zhao, it"s not healthy to always order deliveries. I"ll go get some ingredients from the market."
"But I"m so hungry," Zhao Yao rubbed his own stomach and said, "I just need food in my body now."
Baiquan replied, "I"ll fry two eggs for you to satiate your hunger first then I"ll go get some ingredients from the supermarket. I"ll be back soon."
"Alright, but be quick. I"m about to starve to death," Zhao Yao relented to Baiquan"s suggestion. After completing so many tasks today, he was literally starving to death. Zhao Yao decided to train with Dust Ball"s ability while waiting for dinner. He hoped to be able to control the power accurately so that he could retrieve his Panamera without releasing Specter.
"However …" An idea suddenly sprang up in Zhao Yao"s head, "An average apostle could only activate their power for 24 hours. If he did not borrow the power from his supercat during that duration, he would have reverted to a normal human again."
Zhao Yao scratched his chin and decided, "I"ll let him out tomorrow after work." However, Zhao Yao did not give up on the thought of improving his mastery over Dust Ball"s ability. It would be beneficial for him to be able to specify the object which he wanted to expel from the extradimensional belly.
Meanwhile, Matcha had returned to his ma.s.sage throne. However, he did not know that spirit cat had secretly floated beside him while he was playing Mobile Legends.
"This phone game is terrifying." However, spirit cat still could not resist the temptation to watch the game even though this thought lingered at the back of its head.
Spirit cat comforted itself, "Anyway, I"m currently in my spirit mode, and they won"t be able to notice my presence. This is the best time for me to understand this person"s method of controlling his supercats."
Two hours later … With its superior intelligence and keen observation skills, spirit cat had begun to understand the workings of the game.
"Why are you not in the team fight? Stop farming!"
"Why are you fighting against the Lord now? What are you thinking?"
"R*tard!" Spirit cat shouted furiously, "Why did you go up against the gank, the tanks in your team haven"t even arrived yet."
Matcha was getting flamed by all his teammates because of his bad plays. Spirit cat grew furious and wanted to help Matcha play so badly. Spirit cat wished to show Matcha how a true Legend fought.
However, spirit cat noticed an anomaly at the next instant.
"Why is this happening? Why am I even angry? Why do I have an impulse to play this game?" Spirit cat was in disbelief and started to grow wary against the phone.
"No, I must not lay my eyes on this game again." Spirit cat mumbled, "Ho Hao Cang was right. This phone is the most potent drug in the world. You will never be able to kick the addiction once it has latched onto you."
Spirit cat immediately left Matcha"s side. It felt sorry for Matcha which was addicted to that poisonous game. It declared in its head, "I must find that man"s weakness and exploit it. I must get rid of their phones and save them."
Spirit cat left Matcha and floated behind Elizabeth.
"Oh, this beautiful cat is also playing with her phone?" Spirit cat was despondent to see Elizabeth"s addiction to her phone. It was the kind of pain a parent experienced when they saw their children getting addicted to their phone.
It floated behind Elizabeth"s body and took a peek at the screen. Different scenes flashed across the screen.
"This is …"Spirit cat saw a few words appeared on the screen and it read, "Autumn in my Heart."
At this moment, Zhao Yao walked behind Elizabeth and noticed that she was watching Autumn in my Heart. He stopped in his tracks and commented, "This isn"t even nice. I"ll introduce you to a cla.s.sic."
Zhao Yao grabbed the phone from Elizabeth"s paws and started to type a string of letters on the search box.
"t.i.tanic is the best movie ever produced; you"re welcome."
"No!" Elizabeth shouted as she swung her tail furiously, "I want to watch Autumn in my Heart!"
Zhao Yao replied, "I"ve already given you VIP members.h.i.+p, are you sure you don"t want to watch t.i.tanic. This movie isn"t available for those without VIP members.h.i.+p."
Elizabeth stared at the phone screen curiously. Zhao Yao giggled as he took a few steps back. He wanted to know if the love story between Jack and Rose would be able to move a supercat.
The reason behind Zhao Yao"s generosity in getting Elizabeth VIP members.h.i.+p was possibly due to the RMB fifty-two million he had earned from the Xiaos.
Zhao Yao felt like every fiber of his being was vibrating with antic.i.p.ation as he could not wait for the day where the money got transacted into his bank account.
After playing with Elizabeth, Zhao Yao went around the house to look for cups and bowls to improve his control over the extradimensional belly.
He focused all his energy on imagining the object in his head. He activated his extradimensional belly ability, and the s.p.a.ce around his mouth started to distort. Black curved lines appeared from his mouth before they polymerized and regrouped into a gla.s.s cup.
Zhao Yao was visibly disappointed to see the gla.s.s cup appearing. He wanted to expel a porcelain bowl instead.
He spent the next one hour practicing his skill while Baiquan prepared dinner for him. Zhao Yao ate just enough so that he had enough energy to continue training. Meanwhile, Baiquan was preparing the cat rice according to Zhao Yao"s recipe.
Zhao Yao continued to train and improve his control over his extradimensional belly.
