Am I A God?

The second morning, Elizabeth was greeted by the astonishing scene of 20 stray cats kept inside a cage. She struggled to open her eyes and asked, “You expect me to train this bunch of r*tards?”

Zhao Yao nodded his head and explained, “Please, Elizabeth, these stray cats have spent their entire lives outdoors. Without your help, it would take them an extremely long time to get accustomed to life under a roof.”

Naturally, a domestic cat’s life was far more comfortable than a stray cat’s life. This could be deduced solely based on their lifespan. A stray cat’s lifespan hovered at around five years. On the other hand, domestic cats could usually live up to ten years. With the rapid advancements in medical technology coupled with the ever-improving standard of living, these numbers would only continue to grow.

After all, cities were not ideal places for cats to live in. The food itself was a large problem. The lack of preys in the cities coerced cats to survive on human leftover food which was not suitable for them. It was common for them to suffer from food poisoning because of the food ingested.

The worst problem would be water. In reality, it was close to impossible for cats to find potable water. Most of the times, they would simply make do with unsanitary water or just restrain from drinking them. This would result in a myriad of kidney problems in the long run.

Even though life as a domestic cat provided an environment that was far superior to what they were used to, stray cats were the kind of animal that loved to reminisce the past. Hence, it would take them quite some time to adapt to the life as a domestic cat.

That was why Zhao Yao reached out to Elizabeth for help.

Zhao Yap explained, “You just have to train them in the same way that you did with Mango and the rest. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“No.” Elizabeth raised her head smugly and folded her arms across her chest. She continued, “There are so many cats. This would be the death of me.” Instantly, her body collapsed to the floor as she stuck out her tongue. Then, she began to lick her meaty paws comfortably.

Zhao Yao’s forehead puckered slightly when he stared at Elizabeth’s lazy behavior. He thought, “Tsk, Elizabeth has been leading a far too relaxed and carefree life these days. These supercats are starting to forget their place in this household.”

However, Zhao Yao’s thoughts were briefly interrupted by Elizabeth’s words as she continued, “Of course, I would not reject you if you really required my help.” She swept her head towards Zhao Yao and stared at him with her pair of sapphire-like eyes. Her eyes shone with anticipation as she announced, “Bring me to the cinema for a movie. If you do that, I’ll help you educate them and assimilate into the environment.”

Zhao Yao’s jaw went slack as he stared at Elizabeth in disbelief, “Huh? Watch a movie?”

“Hmph,” Elizabeth beamed from ear to ear and explained, “From my research online, I gathered that humans love spending time watching movies in the cinema. I believe the visual and auditory effects would only be better inside a cinema! I have been waiting for this day since forever!”

“Watch a movie?” Somehow, Matcha who was mopping the floor using Mango as a rag had stopped at Zhao Yao’s feet. He raised his head and stared curiously at her and asked, “Is it movie by Tokyo Hot or 1Pondo?”

Instantly, Zhao Yao grabbed Matcha by his neck and lifted him off the ground. His body locked with rage as he roared, “Stupid cat! Did you flip through the contents of my phone again?”

Matcha was struggling to catch his breath with Zhao Yao’s hand suffocating him. He explained, “No, no. I saw them when you watch those movies at night. I simply watched alongside you. I did not look through the contents of your phone.”

“Huh?” Zhao Yao’s face immediately turned crimson before he channeled his embarrassment into anger and retorted, “Weren’t you supposed to be asleep?”

Matcha blinked his eyes and explained, “Sometimes, you get a little excited and wake me up from my sleep.”

Zhao Yao stared dumbfoundedly at this cat that had potentially seen everything. Zhao Yao lowered his head and whispered directly into Matcha’s ears, “That means, you have already seen them?”

“Normally, I would return to sleep after taking one glance.” Matcha continued, “However, the plot is all roughly the same. There’s nothing interesting about it.”

Zhao Yao propped his chin on his palm and muttered, “I guess I owe you a thank you then?!” In his head, Zhao Yao was screaming at the top of his lungs, “D*mn it, we have to split beds. From today onwards, we can never sleep in the same bed ever again!”

Meanwhile, Elizabeth could not understand a single thing they talked about. With a frown on her face, she dashed towards Zhao Yao and tapped her paw against his calf and asked, “Is that a yes or no, Zhao Yao? If you promise to bring me to the cinema, I’ll help you take care of these cats.”

“Alright, alright.” Zhao Yao bent down and gave her a gentle pat on the back of her head. Actually, he was still thinking about the embarrassing incident as he remarked, “I’ll bring you in two days’ time. We will watch whatever you want to watch.”

Finally, the frown vanished from Elizabeth’s face as a wide grin appeared. Elizabeth glanced at the stray cats before flooding them in a wave of illusion. Instantly, the stray cats quietened down and stood obediently in their cage.

Countless images and sounds were transmitted into their heads via the sound waves conjured by the illusion. Elizabeth had tailor made a crash course lesson by utilizing her unique illusion powers coupled with her experience as a cat to educate these stray cats on how to survive in the cat café.

As compared to the environment which they were used to, their time here would be significantly more comfortable and blissful.

100*2 experience points earned.

Zhao Yao went down the flight of stairs and thought, “Alright, I have settled the publicity and cat problem in the café. Now, I shall just let nature take its course. The business would just continue to improve and bring in more experience points for me. Now, I just have to wait for the announcement regarding the cat king competition…”

With the thought lingering in his head, Zhao Yao’s eyes shot out beams of excitement.

Hence, he informed Shi Yu and Baiquan that he would be leaving for a short while and instructed Elizabeth and Matcha to keep an eye out for Hanako.

“Oh yes,” Zhao Yao glanced at Roly Poly, which was lying comfortably atop a kitty tower.

Roly Poly felt as if he was in heaven after experience the harsh life of the wilderness. He just laid down there carefreely with a wide grin pasted on his face.

“I’m finally back. I have finally returned from the dugout.” Roly Poly thought as he began licking his paws, “I no longer have to worry about life without internet and electricity. I don’t have to spend all my energy running around and plotting against fellow cats.”

However, his sweet recollections were disrupted when images of Diana and Caesar floated into his head.

“Ah, Diana is really so beautiful. However, a village cat like her is not compatible with a city cat like me. I think I should just give up the thought of it.”

“The more troubling thing is Brother Caesar. We have pledged to be sworn brothers and he had taken good care of me during my brief time there.”

Roly Poly shut his eyes and rolled his body across the kitty tower and thought, “Forget it. I’ll just take on the responsibility of taking care of Elizabeth after he dies.”

At this moment, he suddenly felt his body momentarily floating in the air. In reality, Zhao Yao had picked him up and placed him on his shoulder.

“Let’s go, Roly Poly. Follow me. We shall do some good deeds today.”

“Huh?” Roly Poly was taken aback by Zhao Yao’s words and asked, “What are we doing today?”

“There are too many cameras out there. It would be useless even if I used Elizabeth’s illusion. Hence, I decided to bring you along. You can help me avoid some unnecessary troubles with your invisibility.”

Zhao Yao had decided to find strangers to create new missions. Obviously, he had to go somewhere teeming with people.

However, locations that had throngs of humans were places such as shopping malls, supermarkets or even the city center. These places were littered with security cameras all over the place. It would be far more convenient with Roly Poly’s power of invisibility.

Moments later, Zhao Yao had entered his Panamera with Roly Poly tightly clutched in his arms as they made their way towards the city center.
