Am I A God?

Zhao Yao was indifferent to Faceless’ constant blabbering because something far more important had caught his eye – a mission.

Mission: Altering One’s Dream

Objective: Stop disturbing Faceless

Reward: 10 experience points

Punishment: Nil

“What? Just 10 experience points?” Zhao Yao scoffed at this measly sum promised. After all, he could easily earn 100 experience points by simply feeding his cat with his legendary cat food every day. His lips instantly curled in disdain at the sight of it.

Meanwhile, anger continued to swell up inside Faceless. Hearing Zhao Yao’s absurd request, a sinister smile began to tug at his lips as he whispered, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to spend all these money in the afterworld.”

However, in reality, a calm expression blanketed his face as Faceless replied, “Alright! If this is what it takes for you to stop, I’ll give you all the money and cats that you ask for! Tell me, how much do you want? How do you want me to pass you the money?”

In his head, Faceless was thinking, “I don’t care who you are but you would definitely expose your identity the moment you receive the money and cats. Then, I’ll catch you in one fell swoop!”

Zhao Yao was taken aback by Faceless’s generosity. He never expected the leader of the notorious Mao Gang to be such an amiable host. Not only did he offer him money, he even proposed to give Zhao Yao his cats. Even Zhao Yao could not suppress the flush creeping up his face.

“How about we start off with RMB 100,000,000 and 100 supercats? I’m not particular about their abilities. After all, I, Liu Xiao Ming, am not that fussy.”

Faceless seized Zhao Yao’s attention with a series of intense coughs as he refused, “I don’t even have so much money and cats. How am I even supposed to give that to you?”

“Huh. Are you telling me that you don’t even have RMB 100,000,000? Then why are you spending all your time in this supercat business, you might as well focus your attention on real estate.”

Green veins began to pop up across Faceless’s broad forehead. He just wanted to grab this man by his neck and snap it into two. However, he had to contain his anger and instead offered a counter-offer, “How about I transfer RMB 1,000,000 to you first. The cats will come later. How is that?” He needed this transaction to capture this ridiculous man.

“Nah, it’s okay. Just record it down on your books. I’ll come by and redeem it in the future.”

Immediately the mysterious presence had vanished, along with any remnants of its sound or scent.

Faceless’s fatigued body collapsed against the mattress as he let out a depressing sigh, “I never expected such a power to exist … I must catch him.”

However, the brief respite lasted for mere seconds. Once again, that same agonizing scent had returned to torment Faceless. With anger searing through his body, he asked, “Why are you back again? Do not cross the line. Do you think I’m really scared of you? I can survive the entire night without sleep!”

Zhao Yao was paralyzed by disbelief as the golden exclamation mark disappeared into thin air, “That’s unexpected. I never expected him to be a man of his word.”

True to his word, Faceless had translated his proclamations to concrete action. He understood this mysterious man’s unwavering resolve to annoy him. Hence, he chose to jump out of his bed and spent the rest of the night, immersed in computer games.

Faceless declared, “I’m telling you that no one can possibly hold me against my own will!”

Moments later, the agonizing scent of hotpot finally dissipated from the surroundings. Faceless took a deep breath as his face lit up with joy, “Is it finally over?”

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Suddenly, the room was inundated with the sound of a female’s moans. Faceless’s face turned scarlet as the disconcerting sound continued to echo in his ears. His body began to lock up with rage as he thought, “That bastard! Is he watching porn?”

The sound was deafening. It was as if someone had turned the loudest speaker to maximum and blasted it in his ears. The moans were ear-splitting. Everyone within his bungalow could definitely hear it.

As expected, the adolescent guards began to slide one another a guarded look as their eyes drifted towards Faceless’s room.

With her face flushed with embarrassment, Peacock began to knock against Faceless’s door and asked, “Master, the music is a bit too loud. Have you forgotten to plug in your headphones?”

“D*mn it!” Faceless’s brain exploded with fury when he heard the accusations coming out of his most trusted subordinate’s mouth. After all, did a person of his stature even need to watch such films? However, he knew that it was impossible for him to absolve himself of all the condemnation regardless of what he said.

How was he supposed to face his subordinates or the adolescent guards? Ultimately, they were still children!

“Alright, enough is enough! Can you stop that now! Everything can be negotiated peacefully.”

Finally, the long-awaited golden exclamation mark had returned to its rightful position. Joy bubbled up inside Zhao Yao as he accepted the mission with a wide grin. He then switched off the speaker before reminding him, “Faceless, you can depend on your own hands at home. However, do not forget to ask your friend for a helping hand when you need it. Going solo might not always be the best solution.”

No words could possibly express the anger racing through Faceless’s body. He could only nod his head indignantly. In his head, he just wanted to clobber Zhao Yao with his bare fists. Before that, he should take that power right out of this man’s hands and used it to torture others.

After two tries, Zhao Yao only managed to earn a mere 30 odd experience points. He was too lazy to squeeze any more experience points out of this stingy man. It was simply not worth the effort.

“Hmph, it’s so hard to find a mission that suits my needs.”

Even though Zhao Yao had already left him alone, Faceless still struggled to catch a wink. The entire night was spent worrying about the next attack. Hence, he left his bed with a pair of adorable panda eyes the next morning.

Peacock was taken aback when she saw Faceless. His face was a mess: sunken cheeks coupled with blood-shot eyes. She could not help but remind him, “Master, you should try to control your impulses.”

“What?” Faceless quivered with indignation as he screamed in his head, “But I did nothing at all!”

For the rest of the day, Zhao Yao continued to watch Faceless furtively. However, he failed to acquire any useful information. On the other hand, Matcha also didn’t return to the belly which meant that he too had failed to acquire any intelligence.

Something interesting finally happened when Zhao Yao was on the verge of giving up. Faceless was discussing with some of Mao Gang’s higher-ups regarding the details of the auction.

Faceless declared, “The auction shall begin from tomorrow onwards. Thankfully, we have captured the Pallas’s cat king. The auction of this prized cat will be the climax of the event. This will spread our name to every inch and corner of the country. Our customers will start streaming in from today onwards. Mamba, you are responsible for the cats during the auction. Have you transported all of them over? There is no room for error, especially when it comes to the Pallas’s cat king.”

Mamba stood at a staggering 1.9 meters tall and sported a healthy tan from head to toe. He was Faceless’s right-hand man and the nucleus of the organization. He was privy to many of Mao Gang’s secrets even though he wasn’t an apostle.

Mamba nodded his head in response. Naturally, Faceless trusted his personal adolescent guards more than anyone else. However, they were still kids in his eyes. No matter how strong they were, there were still things which were beyond their capabilities. The adults Faceless chose for such jobs were not apostles. This ensured a separation of power, thus leaving the power nucleus in his hands.

Faceless looked towards another boy and ordered, “Pigeon, I want you to follow Mamba to the auction. You are responsible for the safety of the event. Listen to whatever Mamba has to say.”

The boy named Pigeon nodded his head obediently. Other than Peacock, he was the strongest apostle amongst the adolescent guards. His magma powers were terrifying. Faceless had complete confidence in his abilities to maintain order throughout the event.

There were three prominent figures that stood out amongst the adolescent guards. They were Peacock, Pigeon, and Pebble, who was responsible for Red Packet.

All of them were still teenagers. However, their deadly powers were handpicked from the thousands of cats which had gone through their hands. Even though they were still kids, they would stop at nothing to ensure mission success, making them far more dangerous than the regular apostles.
