Zhao Yao stared dumbfoundedly at this request, "I don"t even know your cat"s ability, why would I bother swapping with you?"
"Haish," Xiao Yu let out a sigh of despair with Fish Ball clutched in her arms, "Yao Er, do you remember how I doted on you when you were young?"
"Stop abusing your seniority!" Zhao Yao pressed his index finger to her nose and chided her, "I even carried you in my arms when you were a baby. How could you have taken care of me?"
Xiao Yu was indifferent to Zhao Yao"s reasoning as she ran her fingers through Fish Ball"s fur, "Fish Ball is extremely strong."
Fish Ball"s body froze as he could detect Xiao Yu"s fingers jamming against his belly. It seemed like any sudden movement he made might possibly cause his belly to explode.
Wei Zai could not understand a single thing they said and shouted, "What … What is going on? Xiao Yu, why is this guy talking about superpower and supercats? What"s the matter?"
Zhao Yao glanced at them before bursting into peals of laughter, "Xiao Yu, is he your boyfriend?"
"Boy … boyfriend…" Wei Zai could not even say the words out loud as his face turned crimson.
Xiao Yu tucked a lock of hair behind her ears and replied, "I"m not interested in a relations.h.i.+p with an elementary school student. He"s just a friend."
"Hey! Why do you have to be like that?" Wei Zai"s spirit plummeted.
Zhao Yao interrupted their squabbles by saying, "Anyway, I am extremely happy with my supercats. I do not wish nor want to exchange them with yours. Hence, you should just take good care of these two."
Xiao Yu slid the husky a guarded look when Zhao Yao"s words rang in her head. She had no idea that he had also been awakened.
In the vast sky above them, an invisible figure had slowly drifted to their side. It was Nekomata. He was carefully observing the husky and Zhao Yao.
"Hmph, from the looks of it, Ho Hao Cang had forgotten about Zhao Yao." However, he decided to put him to a test and exclaimed, "Hey, do you still remember that person?"
"Of course! He threw a meatless bun at me and took away all my money. He had been tormenting me all these while. I will recognize him even if he"s turned to ashes!" Noodle was over the moon to hear Nekomata"s voice and began screaming at him, "Nekomata, destroy him."
Nekomata simply replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "I don"t think I can do that. This guy is really strong. I am not confident of defeating him in a battle." He knew exactly how strong Zhao Yao was and did not intend to risk his life for a dog.
Noodle was taken aback by his response, "Even you are not confident in taking him down?"
"I"m fine with that if you choose not to exchange." Xiao Yu raised Fish Ball in the sky and brought him right in front of Zhao Yao"s face, "Fish Ball is very obedient. How about I sell him to you at RMB 100,000."
"Huh?" Zhao Yao stared at this pair of innocent-looking bright eyes. He knew exactly what kind of person she was. Instead of labeling her as a student, a more appropriate term would be the devil.
"If Fish Ball actually had a useful ability, she would not even sell him to me."
Since he had already made up his mind, Zhao Yao took a few steps backward and shook his head, "Thanks but no thanks."
Xiao Yu"s lower lip protruded into a pout as she lamented, "Yao Er, Aunty used to dote on you the most. How can you do this to me?"
Her words brought back a string of memories into Zhao Yao"s head. He let out a series of awkward laughs before saying, "It"s okay. Just remember not to leave your pets alone in the future. If any apostles or supercats spot them, they would not hesitate to steal them from you."
Zhao Yao"s movement was extremely fast. After bidding farewell, he immediately turned his body around and disappeared from her sights Even he could not possibly found out every single superpower in the world. Furthermore, they were relatives and they were bound to meet again.
"Oh yes, do not call me if you meet with any sorts of problems. Call the police instead. Bye."
Wei Zai started laughing awkwardly as he saw Zhao Yao disappearing into the cinema, "That"s such a weird person. How can there be superpower or supercats? That thing which he did was definitely magic. He must have prepared that pebble beforehand. Am I right, Xiao Yu?"
When Wei Zai turned his body around, he was overcome with fear and instantly fell to the ground.
Fish Ball who was cradled in Xiao Yu"s arms started emanating the entire spectrum of visible light from his body.
Xiao Yu stared at Wei Zao who was trembling in fear and asked coolly, "Do you want to buy this cat?"
Fish Ball continued letting out a soft whimper in Xiao Yu"s arms.
Xiao Yu added on, "It can project any sorts of light. Furthermore, it does not require any electricity at all."
Wei Zai struggled to get words out of his mouth, "But … but I only have RMB 100 left."
"That"s too little." Xiao Yu folded her arms across her chest and continued, "How about this, I"ll lend you for one night. Remember not to tell anyone about this." Deep down, she knew that no one would believe an elementary school student"s words even if he divulged this secret.
"Yes!" Wei Zao responded by nodding his head vigorously with his eyes glued to Fish Ball. He took out the money from his pocket and pa.s.sed it to Xiao Yu immediately.
By the time Zhao Yao had returned to the cinema, Elizabeth was already waiting by the entrance.
"Have you finished the movie?"
Elizabeth raised her head and nodded, "Zhao Yao, let"s move to a new house."
"Huh?"
Elizabeth continued, "I want to move to a house that can oversee the entire Jiangmen skyline. Preferably, everything inside the house should be s.h.i.+ny and sparkly."
Zhao Yao simply rolled his eyes and answered, "No money."
Elizabeth could only let out a sigh of despair and chided him, "Zhao Yao, you are so poor."
Zhao Yao gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, "No matter what, I am still your owner." He then grabbed Elizabeth into his arms and went towards the bas.e.m.e.nt carpark.
Elizabeth continued, "Zhao Yao, it"s okay even if you are poor. I didn"t fall in love with you because of your sports car. Neither was it because of the Louis Vuitton bag you gave me. And definitely not because of the Dolce & Gabbana boots. I would love you even if you were penniless."
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes even further back and commented, "Stop using the lines from the movie."
Elizabeth continued by rattling on, "We live in this vast world which comprises all sorts of cosmic dust and milky ways. Compared to them, we are so insignificant, so small, so unimportant."
"Zhao Yao, I would like a Louis Vuitton bag."
Zhao Yao was indifferent to her request but noticed the golden exclamation mark above her head.
Mission: A cat also needs her bag!
Objective: Purchase a Louis Vuitton bag for her. The bag must be to her liking.
Reward: 50 experience points
Punishment: Nil
Zhao Yao bit his lower lip as he cursed in his head, "Why did I agree to bring Elizabeth here for Tiny Times. Exchanging cash with experience points is the worst thing ever!"
Zhao Yao"s most pressing concern was that he might actually get addicted to these missions which solely required his monetary input.
However, he felt the throbbing heartache when he glanced at the experience points promised. Hence, he took a deep breath and accepted the mission.
This experience points would also allow him to upgrade his BOOK.
Hence, Zhao Yao drove his Panamera into the shopping district and brought Elizabeth into a Louis Vuitton boutique store to select her bag.
"Elizabeth, take a look at this. This looks pretty nice."
"I"m quite sure that is the cheapest bag in the entire store."
"I selected this because it suits your small frame. You are so much smaller than a normal human. A huge bag would not complement your looks."
The sales personnel in the shop stared at each other dumbfounded. They were left speechless by this man buying a Louis Vuitton for his cat.
"That"s how a rich man behaves."
"I didn"t expect a cat to ever have a Louis Vuitton bag. My poverty had greatly limited my imagination."
Under Zhao Yao"s pressure, Elizabeth finally relented and chose the smallest bag. Zhao Yao also let out a sigh of relief.
With the 100 experience points in hand, his BOOK had turned to lv4(5028/5000). He could finally upgrade his BOOK.
However, he held his excitement in and sent Elizabeth back home first.
That was because he had an important decision to make. If he upgraded the BOOK, his most urgent issue was to select a supercat to induct into his BOOK. If not, he had to choose the best cat to pump all his experience points into.
