Next morning, in the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao yawned as he woke up and pushed himself up from the sofa.
He got angry when he saw the cat fur on his clothes. “Who sneaked onto my bed last night.”
Roly Poly, who was beside the sofa, looked up and said sleepily, “Zhao Yao, this is the fur from Bald Head and his gang. Didn’t you bring Dust Ball along to kill them, scaring them so much that their fur fell all over the place.”
“Oh right, I almost forgot,” Zhao Yao dusted the fur off his clothes as he said, “What about breakfast?”
Lang Gou walked over with his chest puffed up in pride as he brought over a bowl of century egg porridge with minced meat and said, “Boss, here’s your breakfast.”
Zhao Yao took it and ate a huge mouthful. His eyes widened as he said, “Midnight’s cooking has improved. But having porridge every time is a little boring. Ask him to experiment with other dishes. I want to eat marinated chicken feet, shumai, and Xiaolongbao.”
“D*mn salted fish, you should just choke to death! Are these dishes that can be easily made simply by experimenting with them?” Lang Gou cursed silently as he replied with a polite smile, “No problem Boss, I will ask Midnight to do that today.”
After breakfast, Zhao Yao stood up and stretched his waist as he thought expectantly, “Tonight I will be able to calculate the rewards from this month’s cat café earnings as well as those from the catmint market share rates. Not sure how much of the catmint market share we dominate, I will just draw a ten-combo first then.”
As he thought, Zhao Yao walked over to the Garfield cat, Gaia, and asked curiously, “How is it? Have you reached the points for this level?”
Gaia replied sluggishly, “No… Not yet.”
“This can’t go on Gaia, your game-boosting efficacy is too low.”
Gaia’s face sank as he said, “Zhao Yao, give me more money, please. You can just buy monthly game credit. If not, it’s too difficult for me to play well.”
“If I give you money for boosting the game I might as well just play the game myself right? Don’t start thinking of using money to solve problems at such a young age.” Zhao Yao stroked Gaia’s head and consoled him, “Continue pressing, when you reach that level I will give you a death-exemption gold plate.”
Gaia rolled his eyes while nodding, “You’re so nice to me, Zhao Yao.”
Zhao Yao stroked his head as he thought, “It’s all because I want to treat you of your internet addiction. I’ll let you boost the game for three months. Let’s see if you still feel like playing this game afterwards.”
After greeting Gaia, Elizabeth had already trotted over to him with a comb in her mouth, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, help me comb my fur. It got tangled.”
Zhao Yao squatted down and took the comb. He brushed Elizabeth’s fur as he asked, “Lizzie ah, there are no problems with the live stream right.”
Elizabeth enjoyed the combing very much as she replied, “There’s no problem, the live stream’s popularity is rising steadily. I just don’t know how photos of me leaked online, I suspect someone here secretly took photos of me.”
“Oh?” Zhao Yao frowned, “Don’t worry, I will ask Airplane to send the royal cat guards to investigate and catch this cat and skin him alive.”
Roly Poly was just about to get up for breakfast when he heard their conversation. His fat body trembled as he thought, “Looks like it’s time to delete the WeChat chat group and cut off all traces to ensure my safety. Next time I will just rent an overseas server to start a discussion forum that gives out free bonuses and sell advertisements to grow my business.”
Once he was done combing Elizabeth’s fur, the whole family of ragdoll cats, Catherine, Diana, and Caesar all lined up in front of him, waiting for their turn with a comb in their mouth.
Zhao Yao was exasperated. “Why don’t you guys ask Midnight and the rest to comb your fur for you.”
“Their so rough with their hands, my fur always drops when they comb for me,” Catherine said, “Zhao Yao you’re better than they are at combing fur.”
After combing the ragdoll cats, Zhao Yao walked to the training arena. Sphynx cat was there with Zhao Xue who struggled to move her body under a pressure of 10 times the ordinary force. “This is so hard but there’s no way I can cheat my way out of this so I just have to train hard.”
“Boss…”
At that moment, Bai Quan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Yao, scaring Zhao Yao so much that he turned in an instant and said warily, “What are you doing Bai Quan? Why didn’t you make a sound when you were walking behind me? What a scare…”
Bai Quan said exasperatedly, “Boss, come out and take a look. We have a situation outside the café.”
Zhao Yao was puzzled, “What situation? Can’t you handle it?”
Bai Quan shrugged, “I think you should just go and take a look.”
Zhao Yao brushed his teeth and washed up before walking out of the dimension portal to the cat café. He walked out of the door of the cat café and saw the strange sight that Bai Quan had mentioned to him.
Across the street, a cat was lying on the cement ground and staring at the cat café.
This cat was quite unique. Its whole body was covered in a layer of long white fur, except its face and limbs, which revealed only short stubbles of orange fur.
Across the street, Matcha lay expressionless on the cement ground and stared deadpan at the cat café. His body was covered in white fur, with a long strip of black fur pasted on top of his eyes. His tail was even wrapped with some goat fur shirt sleeve he had picked up somewhere from the streets.
He thought to himself, “I spent the whole night preparing this get-up, plucking my fur everywhere and it’s finally done. I should look like Elizabeth now. Quick, come and hug me, Zhao Yao.”
Zhao Yao saw Matcha’s get-up and immediately turned away with goosebumps erupting all over his body.
Matcha was surprised, “Is he touched? With the same looks, I would definitely fare much better compared to Elizabeth.”
However, Zhao Yao opened the door of the cat café and went in without looking at Matcha again as if he never noticed him.
Bai Quan asked, “What should we do?”
Zhao Yao waved him off, “Don’t care about him, the time’s not up yet.”
On the other hand, Matcha lay on the cement ground confused. “What happened, doesn’t Zhao Yao like the look of a ragdoll cat? Why is he not touched at all by this costume?”
“Eh? What animal is this?” A little boy ran over and stared at Matcha curiously as he stretched out his hand to touch him.
Matcha snarled as he turned away, scaring the little boy who turned on his heels and ran.
“It’s a monster!!”
Matcha thought to himself, “He doesn’t like ragdoll cats with long fur? Right, I remember Zhao Yao would always shave at night, does that mean…”
Zhao Yao did not look at Matcha again. He made himself a cup of coffee and sat at his usual spot to surf the Internet. After a while, he looked towards where Matcha was and was surprised, “He left?”
Zhao Yao thought Matcha had walked off and concentrated on playing computer games and reading the news. As he read the news, he thought “Oh? Sunspots are increasing recently?” Even then, he would glance towards the street sometimes to see if Matcha had returned to his spot.
After two hours, Zhao Yao finished his coffee and when he glanced at the street again, he spat out his coffee in shock.
He saw a bald Matcha with only fur left on his head lying on the ground and staring at the cat café.
Matcha thought, “Zhao Yao shaves every day. Since he loves shaving so much, he will be touched when he sees my clean, shaven look right? Quick, come hug me right now.”
Zhao Yao took one look at him before lowering his head and taking out a tissue to clean up the spilled coffee on the table. “This idiot is a goner. Is it because I fed him expired kitten cream cake when I was young that he wasn’t able to develop properly?”
