Zhao Yao decided to take a look at the situation inside the extradimensional belly and was greeted by the scene of Ares exclaiming the words of iron palm wave. He could not help but roll his eyes.
As Ares shattered the container to pieces, Zhao Yao was alerted to the notification from his BOOK.
Both Lucifer and the British Shorthair, Rakshasa, had accepted his leaders.h.i.+p which gave him 200X2 experience points.
A smile tugged at his lips as he thought, "In a few days, I will be able to upgrade Matcha. Hmph, I must also think of some way to increase Ares"s loyalty to me. Let me take a look, I think I managed to raise his loyalty to 80 points after demonstrating his new found power from the Essence of G.o.d."
With the thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao decided to do some online shopping and find an opportunity to reward the cats in the belly with some phones.
"If I continue to develop and expand the extradimensional belly, and successfully manage to expand it by upgrading Dust Ball, I might be able to construct the true heaven for supercats - the village of dreams."
The smile remained plastered on Zhao Yao"s face as he continued daydreaming. Meanwhile, following Lucifer and Rakshasa"s submission, all five supercats from Ho Hao Cang had finally submitted to Zhao Yao"s leaders.h.i.+p. The original mission to educate them had disappeared. In its place was a brand new mission.
Cat Chain Mission (1): I announce the inauguration of cat nation from today onwards!
Objective: To expand and improve the extradimensional belly until it becomes the first sovereign land for cat nation. Firstly, you have to increase the cat population until there are 10 cats inside it. Current status: 9/10
Reward: 100 experience points
Punishment: Nil
"Isn"t this … just a chain quest like those in MMORPG games?" Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and thought, "This is similar to my current daily missions as there are a few segments to it." Based on his wealth of experience playing all sorts of games during his college days, Zhao Yao understood that the reward for the mission would only increase as he proceeded to the later stages of the chain missions.
The mission to establish the cat nation should also follow this pattern.
"This is extremely intriguing. Is the mission on my BOOK related to my opinion and thoughts?" Zhao Yao could not wait but kick start this mission to establish his cat empire. Just the thought of creating a land dedicated to his supercats could send him jumping around with joy.
Now, Zhao Yao had a total of four missions to attend to. Firstly he had to upgrade his BOOK and add a new cat to it.
Secondly, his daily mission required him to complete 5 tasks: play, feed, train, walk and cuddle the cats.
Thirdly, the monthly mission needed him to rake in as much profit as possible from his cat café.
Fourthly, he had to establish a cat nation by completing all the missions from the chain missions.
"Speaking of which, why are there nine supercats inside my extradimensional belly?" Zhao Yao put his head in his hands and finally recalled, "D*mn it, I almost forgot about the Pallas"s cat. Thankfully, Ares did not tear open the contents in the other two containers."
Since releasing Ares and company from their original container, Zhao Yao had naturally decided to retrieve the toys he stashed in the other containers and pa.s.s it to them. However, he just remembered that the Pallas"s cat was kept in one of them.
With the thought etched at the back of his head, Zhao Yao immediately stretched open his mouth and started expelling a huge Pallas"s cat from his mouth.
The cat fell to the floor with a loud thud. Immediately, he began to arch his back and puffed his fur, making him twice his original size. His eyes darted around frantically and he slid his surroundings a guarded look.
Zhao Yao could not help but to pat him on his head when he noticed how distraught he was, "Alright, alright, everything"s fine. I have taken you out of that place."
The Pallas"s cat could not believe his eyes and stared at Zhao Yao with his jaws slack, "It"s you?"
Immediately, he began to look around and scrutinized his surroundings. Suddenly, he started jumping up and down and exclaimed, "Am I out? Am I really out of that place?"
Zhao Yao was somewhat confused and was left speechless by how excited he became, "Do you really have to start jumping all around my apartment?"
"You don"t say? Try cooping yourself up in a cage for twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week." The Pallas"s cat pranced towards Zhao Yao"s bed before settling himself in a most comfortable position. His brief rest was cut short when Zhao Yao immediately kicked him off the bed.
"Who told you that you are allowed to come up my bed?" Zhao Yao retorted. Deep down, he understood why Dr. Liu had to restrain him in the small confines of a cage. With his menacing looks and human-like intelligence, it was impossible for a normal human like Dr. Liu to control him.
"Petty man!" The Pallas" cat curled his lips in indignance, "Oh yes, since you have set me free, you will have to grant me three wishes."
"?" Zhao Yao was stunned by his unreasonable request, "What did you just say? I think I heard some bulls.h.i.+t."
"Grant me three wishes," The Pallas"s cat declared unabashedly, "Let"s start by giving me RMB 10,000,000. Then, you can be my servant for the rest of my life. I"ll tell you my third wish when I come up with something."
Zhao Yao simply raised his leg and sent him flying out of the room. The Pallas"s cat tumbled and rolled down the corridor and only stopped when he reached the middle of the living room.
"This d*mn cat. Hmph, I think Dr. Liu has already ended work since it"s already so late. I guess I just have to keep him here for one night before returning him to Dr. Liu the first thing tomorrow morning." Zhao Yao rested his forehead on his palm and thought, "At the end of the day, this cat still belongs to Dr. Liu. Furthermore, she definitely has no intentions of committing anything evil with this cat. There is no incentive for me to keep him around. If I really keep him with me, there is nothing stopping me from feeding him with s.h.i.+t if I"m forced to look at his hideous face all day."
The Pallas"s cat stood on his feet and lifted his shoulder in a half shrug. He shook his fur and commented, "You did not have to resort to physical violence. I am an endangered species which is extremely precious and I do not deserve to be treated in that manner."
Mango and Dust Ball who were previously busy playing around had noticed his appearance and started gathering around the Pallas"s cat. Both of them gave him a curious glance and asked, "What kind of cat are you?"
Dust Ball had been intrigued by this cat since Zhao Yao stashed him away in her extradimensional belly.
"Can you stop referring to me as a cat? I am a Pallas. My hereditary traces back all the way to the family of the ferocious tigers." He immediately puffed up his hair and erected all his fur to stand on their ends. His furry body had instantaneously transformed into a sea urchin, scaring the s.h.i.+t out of Mango and Dust Ball.
"You are a tiger?" Dust Ball"s voice trembled as she stared at the Pallas"s cat from head to toe.
The Pallas"s cat simply shook his fur haughtily and announced arrogantly, "I"m a special kind of tiger. My species is a lot more vicious and brutal than the ordinary tigers you know. Back in my heyday when I was roaming around the vast desert plains, I could easily tear a tiger"s throat apart with a simple swipe of my paw."
"Huh?!" Dust Ball"s eyes beamed in admiration, "You have lived in the desert plains?"
"You don"t say?" The Pallas"s cat continued bragging, "We, the Pallas, are the natural rulers of the vast desert plains and the Gobi desert. I owned acres and acres of lands and was free to roam around wherever I want. Rabbits, coyotes, oxen, and goats had to kneel down to me when they saw me.
Dust Ball"s eyes flickered in admiration as she commented, "So cool!"
"It"s so sad that you city cats have it so easily." The Pallas"s cat eyes drifted from Matcha to Roly Poly. He could not help but shook his head and lamented, "I would have torn all of you to pieces if we were in the Gobi desert."
Suddenly, Rice Cake"s ears began to quiver. She c.o.c.ked his head towards him and sneered, "If you are really so strong, what brings you to Zhao Yao"s apartment?" She had previously witnessed Zhao Yao force feeding him s.h.i.+t and did not believe a single word he said.
"Hmph, it"s all because I killed too many people and they resorted to sending the army to capture me." The Pallas"s cat looked skyward and recalled, "It was an epic battle. I was able to annihilate the platoons of Special Forces soldiers that they threw at me. The tanks were also no match for my paws. They could not win against me in a conventional fight and started bombing me using their fighter jets. After surviving on sand and dust for seven days, my body finally faltered from the exhaustion."
Just when the cats were engrossed in his compelling story, Zhao Yao had sent him flying off with a kick on his b.u.t.t.
"Stop spreading your stupid lies. It"s time for dinner. I"ll bring you back to the hospital tomorrow morning. I don"t want Dr. Liu to blame me for not taking good care of you."
Roly Poly had furtively crept up to the Pallas"s cat side and asked excitedly, "Big brother, why don"t you bite Zhao Yao?"
The Pallas"s cat shook his fur and announced, "What do you know? This method allows me to lower his guards. So what if I have to endure a few kicks from him? In the middle of the night, I"ll send him back to where he came from …"
