Am I A God?

“RMB 2,000,000?” Zhao Yao smiled uncontrollably and patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder as he replied, “I knew you were a great man from the start. Look at you! I bet you would rise up the ranks and establish a successful business for yourself in future.”

“Haha.” Xiao Ming shook his head in embarrassment, flattered by Zhao Yao’s compliment. “I’m not that capable.”

“I’m not kidding! Trust me. I see great potential in you and with my help, I guarantee that you’ll skyrocket your way up and make it to the top one day.”

Xiao Ming was too embarrassed to reply and simply smiled. Zhao Yao stood up and gestured, “Come on let’s go! I’ll take down the master or whoever he is.” Zhao Yao couldn’t wait to complete the mission and receive the money from Xiao Ming.

“Erm, I’m afraid we can’t do it today.” Xiao Ming explained. “That religious imposter has been out these days to host some dharma assembly but he’ll be back in three days. How about this? I’ll contact you within three days and we’ll take him down together!”

Xiao Ming continued to describe Master Luo and explain what kind of a person he was to Zhao Yao.

Just as Xiao Ming was about to leave, he realized how comfortable it was to stay in the cafe and sat down again. He asked Zhao Yao, “Master, your cat cafe… Why is it so comfortable to stay in here?”

“Ha! It’s just a little trick.” Zhao Yao passed a menu to Xiao Ming and asked, “Do you wish to buy some snacks to feed the cats?”

Xiao Ming stayed for another thirty minutes or so and only left unwillingly when his granny kept on rushing him to return home.

As Xiao Ming left the field of Celestial Beats, he felt that something was missing and had a strong urge to return back to the cafe. “Ah, it really is so comfortable to stay in his cafe. It feels like a full body massage; even my internal organs felt like they have been massaged!”

Xiao Ming decided that he would visit Zhao Yao’s cafe more often in future.

As he walked out of the cafe, he saw a middle-aged woman standing right outside the door; she looked confused and hesitant.

Xiao Ming smiled and suggested, “It’s pretty nice in there. You should give it a shot.”

In fact, the woman was the boss of Cosy Coffee Cafe.

All this while, she had been coming over every day to spy on Cat Haven Coffee House but still couldn’t understand the reason behind its exceptionally good business.

The cat cafe’s business had been growing at an exponential rate every day. The number of customers that visit his cafe daily was almost unbelievable.

She came down during the peak period of the cafe to take a look at the number of customers in the cafe. There were almost 30 customers in the cafe; everyone looked like they were having the time of their lives as they chilled in the cafe. Some were even seen lying down and sleeping in the cafe. She was really confused by what she saw and completely couldn’t understand the reason behind it. Besides, one has to spend at least RMB100 in the cafe. That equates to over RMB3000 for 30 customers. What’s shocking is that they had just recently opened business?

“Are cats really that fun to play with?…” Ms. Mayer thought to herself and decided that she would attempt to raise two cats back in her own cafe.

Back in the cat cafe, Zhao Yao had just made an appointment with Starry Starry Pet Hospital to sterilize the cats. As he hanged up, a female undergraduate came to him and asked, “Hello Boss, I’m here to see Dust Ball.” Yan Xiao Qing hugged Dust Ball and seemed concerned about her. “Dust Ball has been making weird noises recently. Her body is in a limp and it seems like she is unwell.”

After visiting the cafe so frequently, Xiao Qing came to realize that the guy playing computer games at the corner of the cafe is the owner of the cafe.

Upon hearing what Xiao Qing said, Zhao Yao gasped and turned to look at Dust Ball as he questioned Dust Ball in her mind, “Is she speaking the truth? Are you feeling unwell?”

Dust Ball made eye contact with Zhao Yao for a brief moment and looked away immediately as she whispered, “It’s nothing much… I just ate too much.”

Zhao Yao didn’t believe what Dust Ball said and examined her closely. Dust Ball squirmed in Xiao Qing’s arm and yelled, “Ahhhhh! I said I’m fine! So annoying…”

Suddenly, Dust Ball started to gag as she opened her mouth. Weird noises came out of her throat but nothing came out of her mouth.

Yan Xiao Qing immediately shouted, “Look! That’s what she has been doing all this while! It just happened again, could Dust Ball be sick?”

“Hmm, she’s fine actually.” Zhao Yao stroked his chin and continued, “Is it the shedding season? I guess she must have been licking herself too much recently and created a furball inside her stomach. That must be why she keeps on wanting to vomit; to get rid of the furball.”

Zhao Yao already knew that cats tend to lick themselves a lot and could easily ingest fur into their stomach. This happens especially when they are shedding fur and all the ingested fur would form a furball in their stomach.

In a situation like this, they would have the urge to throw up in order to remove the furball from their stomach. It was their body’s natural reaction to remove any foreign objects that were found in their body. Something like this did occur when he was raising Matcha, hence Zhao Yao understood the reason behind Dust Ball’s strange behavior.

Zhao Yao reassured, “I’ll get some cat grass for Dust Ball to regurgitate and remove the furball from her stomach. Once that is done, she should be fine.”

“Oh, that’s good to hear! Sorry for the trouble boss!” Xiao Qing nodded and left with a smile

on her face.

Zhao Yao curled his lips and spoke to himself. “Let me see… Where can I buy some cat grass online…” For some reason, his cat instinct told him that Dust Ball was hiding something from him.

The next day, the cat grass she ordered online had been delivered to his doorstep.

Xiao Shi Yu glanced at the name on the parcel and asked, “Zhao Yao, is this yours?”

“Oh, yeah I did. I bought some cat grass.” Zhao Yao ran over to take a look at the parcel and continued, “Dust Ball, time to eat your cat grass.”

“I’m a carnivore, who said I’ll eat that!”

Just as Dust Ball finished her sentence, her eyes lit up and she stared right at the parcel in Zhao Yao’s hand.

Zhao Yao opened up the parcel and saw a bag of what looked like dried grass. He frowned and questioned, “Hmm? I don’t recall cat grass looking like this.”

As he opened the parcel, little did he know that all the cats in the cafe have turned their heads and were all staring at the bag of ‘cat grass’ in his hand.

“Hmm?” Zhao Yao looked around the cafe and was surprised to see so many pairs of eyes staring at him.

Suddenly, Dust Ball dashed towards Zhao Yao and placed her front paws on Zhao Yao’s leg as she stood on her hind legs; her eyes fixated on the bag of ‘cat grass’.

“Oh, you like cat grass?” Zhao Yao smiled and placed a handful of ‘cat grass’ into Dust Ball’s bowl. He was relieved that Dust Ball actually loved to eat ‘cat grass’ as this would save him a lot of trouble.

Dust Ball ran in circles around the bowl as she started to sniff the ‘cat grass’.

After taking a few sniffs, Dust Ball looked as if she was drowning in immense pleasure as she gently laid flat on the floor with her eyes closed. Her paws were still wrapped around the bowl as she started to meow. It looked like she didn’t want to let go of the bowl at all.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and the other cats could already hear Dust Ball laughing hysterically to herself in their minds.
