Am I A God?

As Zhao Yao said that, a string of numbers jumped appeared on the Book’s screen.

Matcha’s Loyalty +1

Elizabeth’s Loyalty +1

Ares’ Loyalty +1

Matcha’s Loyalty -2

…

Having frozen time, Matcha looked to his left and right. When he saw that Zhao Yao was immobilized, he started laughing madly. “Hahaha, Zhao Yao is still maintaining the power of illusion and didn’t activate time freeze.”

He pounced on him and reached out his paw to slap his chest. After some thought, he decided against it.

“No, if I hit him, I will definitely be found out.” Matcha’s eyebrows twitched. Suddenly, with his butt in Zhao Yao’s face, he said, “Stupid Zhao Yao, let me tell you. I’ve put up with you for too long.”

He stood up and shook his butt in Zhao Yao’s face, “All you say, everyday, is that we can’t do this or that. It’s so noisy and annoying. I am already three years old. I’m not a three-month-old kitty cat anymore.”

“Do you even know what respect is? We cats have our pride as well. Stop threatening me just because you have money, or else I won’t let you off with just a few words next time.” Matcha patted Zhao Yao’s cheek in midair before he glared at him and said, “Do you understand? Hmph, seeing that you’re quite obedient, I shall spare you this time.”

…

Thinking that his scolding worked, Zhao Yao was satisfied at first. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Matcha’s loyalty points fluctuate.

Matcha’s Loyalty -2

Matcha’s Loyalty +1

Matcha’s Loyalty +1

“Matcha’s loyalty points are constantly fluctuating,” Zhao Yao frowned and said to Matcha, “Matcha, are you unhappy with me about something?”

“Why would I be unhappy?” Matcha thought quickly. He immediately shook his tail and said in a pitiful voice, “Zhao Yao, what you said was so true. Only a person with great insight like you can lead our Cat Empire to kill off the dogs, eat all the rabbits, pummel those rats, and reign over the pet kingdom.”

Zhao Yao hit Matcha’s head and said, “Stop copying my words.”

Time stopped for a while then started again.

Matcha’s Loyalty -2

Matcha’s Loyalty +2333.

Zhao Yao was shocked to see this message and hit Matcha’s head again.

Time stopped for a while then started again.

Matcha’s Loyalty -2

Matcha’s Loyalty +666

“This kid,” Zhao Yao ruffled Matcha’s head and thought to himself, “Don’t tell me he’s become dumb?”

Matcha lay comfortably on the back seat of the car, glancing at Zhao Yao’s shocked face as well as the cats around him who did not sense anything. He thought to himself, “Hehe, on the surface, it looks like Zhao Yao was teaching me a lesson and had the upper hand. In fact, I was scolding him like mad, all this while, and he couldn’t even retort. Now you know how powerful I am, Zhao Yao.”

Shaking his head, Zhao Yao caressed Matcha’s head. “Don’t become stupid. I won’t hit you next time.”

During the scolding of the cats, the small sedan had rolled to a stop. Zhao Yao raised his head and realized he had reached a pier.

Beside him, Kaede Hattori opened the car door and said, “We are here. Get out of the car.”

Zhao Yao followed Kaede Hattori and got out, walking up to a warehouse. He drew the curtains open and walked through rows of containers, stopping in front of a huge mirror deep in the warehouse.

Zhao Yao was puzzled by Kaede Hattori’s actions. He suddenly saw the mirror in front of him change and become a normal glass door, revealing a lift behind it.

Upon entering the lift, Kaede Hattori laughed at the shocked expression on Zhao Yao’s face, saying “This was originally the secret meeting place of the Public Security Police. After the supercats were awakened, this place became the research center for the Special Higher Police. At least one in five of all the supercats we collected across Japan are kept here.”

The lift quickly came to a stop. When the lift doors opened, a spacious underground research center appeared. Countless workers clad in white coats walked around busily. Some supercats could occasionally be seen casting their superpowers from their cages.

Of course, there were also a large number of apostles patrolling the research center.

“Let’s go, Mr. Yamada.” Kaede Hattori tilted his head and walked forward. “This research center is the core of our country’s most advanced and high-tech research. It is guarded by numerous apostles. If all the supercats here were released, this would definitely cause a huge commotion in society.”

Zhao Yao observed the research centre curiously as he waited for Kaede Hattori to continue.

“Mr. Yamada, I brought you here today as you have passed the test I gave you,” Kaede Hattori slowly said, “You are skilled, have a strong character and have the passion to bring about change in our country. I hope that you will continue to grow while working together with me to sweep away the obstacles that stand in the path of our country’s progress.

But before that, you still have to pass some tests.”

Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up. “The time has come.”

Chain Mission: Kaede Hattori’s Wild Ambitions

Mission Objective: Help Kaede Hattori fulfill his wild ambitions step by step. The first step is to pass the test and become Kaede Hattori’s trusted aide.

Reward: Completing this mission completes 10% of the chain mission. The mission rewards are based on the completion rate of the whole chain of missions and include a vast amount of experience points, the Paralysis Ring, the Dragon Slaying Saber, activating a new ability and other great rewards.

Punishment: None

Zhao Yao’s eyes glowed, “Paralysis Ring? Dragon Slaying Saber?” He felt the urge to throw the Book on the ground, “D*mn Book, are you kidding me? What kind of rewards are these?”

But thinking of the huge amount of experience points, Zhao Yao was still very interested in this mission. This was his first chain mission aside from the cat nation mission.

Sadly, after his fifth mission of the cat nation chain mission, once the cat population had reached 50, no more missions came after that. This had greatly disappointed Zhao Yao very as he lost a great avenue for earning experience points.

This was the first time that Zhao Yao found a new chain mission that had promised new equipment as rewards.

Zhao Yao looked up at Kaede Hattori’s head. The burning exclamation mark had indeed vanished.

Zhao Yao thought to himself, “At first I wanted to try to erase his memories. It’s obvious that if I do that, I will not be able to complete the chain missions. If I don’t erase his memories, Kaede Hattori will capture Bai Quan and Cannon and might even involve me.”

Zhao Yao already formed a plan in his mind. “I’ll try my best to complete the chain mission first. After completing the mission, I will defeat Kaede Hattori immediately and make the whole Hattori family lose their influence and power for good. By then, they will not have the time or power to deal with Bai Quan.”

As to how he would defeat them, Zhao Yao had way too many ideas overflowing in his mind.

In Kaede Hattori’s eyes, Mr. Yamada took a moment to reflect seriously before saying enthusiastically, “What test is that? I will definitely pass it.”

Kaede Hattori said, “Relax, it’s just some character and loyalty test. It should be very easy for you.”
