Am I A God?

On the fifth floor of the Cat Wonderland.

Two well-dressed girls were sitting on a chair and chatting away.

One of them, the short-haired girl said, “You came here to enrol your pet cat as well?”

“No, I came here to fetch my pet cat from school,” Xiao Shiyu said. “Are you here to enrol your cat?”

The short-haired girl nodded and said, “I have been working overtime everyday recently. He’s the only cat at home and only knows how to play all day long. He plays games till 2 or 3am in the morning and won’t listen even when I scold him.

So I want to enrol him in class to educate him rather than letting him play games all day long at home.”

“Aiyo. Let me tell you. It’s not right to let cats stay at home all day and play games, yeah.” Xiao Shiyu shook her head continuously as she said, “If you let your cat stay at home all day and play games, the cat will become more stupid. How old is your cat?”

“Er… Eight months old.”

“Only eight months old? Let me tell you, cats like to play the most when they are eight months old. They will become rebellious as well. If you don’t educate him at this point in time, he will climb over your head in future for sure. By then he will be squatting at home all day asking you for money, just like a NEET.”

Xiao Shiyu sincerely advised her, “That was just how my British Shorthair upstairs was like. We pampered him since young, giving him whatever he wanted. All he did everyday was to play games. Alas, when he dabbled in online football betting last month, he gambled away our house.”

“Ah?” The short-haired girl asked, “But is this school effective?”

“Of course it is. Let me tell you,” Xiao Shiyu said, “My orange cat has been studying here for a month already. He licks his butt everytime after he goes to the toilet now and his paws when he comes back home from outside. The teachers here teach them to be particular about hygiene.”

“Oh? How obedient,” The short-haired girl said. “Which class did you enrol your cat in?”

Xiao Shiyu replied, “Currently, I enrolled him in the foreign language class, football class, and three other super classes. He starts school at 8am and ends at 6pm everyday.

I send him here before I go to work and fetch him after I finish. It’s pretty convenient. I don’t have to worry about his safety being home alone. It’s great for him to come here and play with other cats too.”

Xiao Shiyu said happily, “The foreign teacher for their foreign language class even told me last time that he had a talent for learning foreign languages, just that he did not work hard enough. Aiya, my cat is just so lazy. As long as he puts in the effort, getting top three in the class won’t be a problem for him.”

The short-haired girl exclaimed in astonishment, “They have exams here?”

“A school definitely needs exams to function,” Xiao Shiyu said. “According to the teachers here, they are an autonomous school, set up in collaboration with the government. Their results are recorded in official governmental documents. Both state-owned and private companies take these results very seriously so it would be very beneficial for them next time in finding a job.”

“Finding a job?” The short-haired girl said. “I never thought of asking our cat to work. He’s still a small kitten afterall. I just want to see him grow up happily.”

“Aye, let me tell you. You can’t go on like this,” Xiao Shiyu advised. “Do you know that there are now more than 100 000 supercats in Jianghai? The numbers will only keep increasing and the competition in society will become more and intense. It’s like an army of thousands of men trying to cross a single-log bridge. You can’t let your cat lose at the starting line.

He may be happy now but he will hate you to death next time when he can’t find a wife.”

Seeing that the short-haired girl was visibly swayed by her words, Xiao Shiyu quickly added, “If you want to enrol your cat you should do it now! Let me tell you, his classes here are very popular. There might be no slots left if you enrol too late.”

Matcha hid behind the corner of a wall as he peeked out and watched Xiao Shiyu talk to the short-haired girl. He thought, “Looks like they’re chatting happily.” He turned back to look at the leader of the Mao Gang, who had been released from the Extradimensional Belly to work in the Cat Wonderland like all others as the Extradimensional Belly was used to seal Project X inside.

Although the leader of the Mao Gang kidnapped Lightning and Red Packet and had even auctioned off supercats before, he had turned over a new leaf and started working hard under Zhao Yao after being constantly educated by Zhao Yao.

At that moment, Matcha stared at the blank look on the other’s face, before he typed furiously on his phone, which transcribed into a shout, “What are you staring at? Quick, go and attend to customers.”

Matcha turned and saw two cats walking in through the entrance of the mall. His face immediately lit up as he walked up to welcome them. “The two of you look new here, are you guys here to enrol in our Y Academy?”

The two cats that walked in were the leaders of the Cao Gang, Mao Mao, and his multicolored cat sidekick.

However, the two cats had dyed their fur white, making them unrecognisable to Matcha.

Upon seeing Matcha, the two cats glanced at each other before Mao Mao replied, “Heard that we would get a ‘Headless Horseman’s Disciple’ certificate after we graduate from here. Is that true?”

“Yes,” Matcha said. “Our academy was personally set up by the Headless Horseman himself. It is the Berkeley of the supercat world, China’s equivalent to the Ivy League, something like a filling station for cats…”

“Okay okay, stop boasting,” Mao Mao cut him off. “I have tens of brothers under me who just want to get the certificate from here. Can we just enrol here without studying to get the certificate?”

“This is big business, big business!” Matcha thought excitedly as he replied, “Sure, of course you can. May I know how many of your men will be enrolling?”

Mao Mao replied, “There are too many people here. Is there a small room where we can sit down and talk?”

Matcha nodded his head vigorously. He found a small meeting room that was vacant and ushered Mao Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick in.

Looking at the two fat cats in front of him, Matcha spoke with a wide smile on his face, “May I know which class you sirs want to enrol in? We allow our students to choose the courses they want to enrol in here. They can also opt to go for some package deals. Personally, I would recommend the second type of package more, especially our latest package deal, ‘The True Self-Reliant Cat’. It is a 24-hour offline class with a militarized management style. I can guarantee you that all the fat nerds that come in will emerge from the class as tigers…”

Mao Mao slowly stretched out his paw and lazily tapped it on the table. “How much is it?”

Matcha said, “Sir, you came just in time. Today is the monthsary of our Y Academy so we are having a special promotion. There is an 88% discount across all the courses and package deals, with a further discount of 500 dollars with every 10 000 spent. The first ten students to be enrolled will even have the chance to take a photo with the Headless Horseman and keep it…”

Seeing how Matcha was talking endlessly, Mao Mao whispered to his multi-colored cat sidekick, “Now.”

The multi-colored cat hesitated for a moment and glanced at Mao Mao as he asked, “Boss, we’re really doing it?”

Mao Mao said in annoyance, “You don’t say. Also, don’t call me Boss. I am now a professional leopard mercenary. I am a killer cat that can do anything for money.”

THe multi-colored cat replied, “But if we really do it, we will become cat murderers. There will be no return for us. If we are wanted by the police, it won’t be easy for us to find more targets next time too.”

Mao Mao got angry, “Look at your useless self. We are cold-blooded killers. Killers are not wishy-washy like female cats. Do you even have any sense of professionalism?”

On the other hand, Matcha continued talking, “… After all these discounts, the promotional price for every student’s package deal would be 58 888 dollars. Both of you felt familiar the moment I saw you two. I’ll take it as making friends and round it down to the thousands. It will be 58 000 per cat then.”

Mao Mao and the multicolored cat stopped communicating telepathically and stared at Matcha.

Mao Mao cocked his head to one side and asked, “How much did you say it was?”

Matcha replied, “Promotional price, 58 000. You will be able to have the ultimate experience of the package down from its original price of 198 000.”
