"Fatso, it"s you!" Lion Head instantly pounced atop of Roly Poly with both paws caressing his neck. Lion Head even began licking Roly Poly all over his forehead.
Roly Poly was left dumbfounded by Lion Head"s unexpected behavior. He was screaming in his head, "How is this possible? Am I really back inside the extradimensional belly? Why? Why am I back here?"
He struggled to break free from Lion Head"s loving grip but it was to no avail.
"What the f*ck! Why is this b.i.t.c.h so strong?" Roly Poly struggled with all his might and sent his paws flying in all directions. However, Lion Head"s front paws were as tough as iron casts. He could not move a single inch despite how fiercely he struggled.
Lion Head"s face was flushed with embarra.s.sment as she whispered into his ears, "Hmph, you h.o.r.n.y fatso. Can"t you just wait for a bit more? You don"t have to get into it the moment we meet."
"Let go!" Roly Poly roared, "I"m just trying to escape!"
"Hmph?" The shy smile instantly dissipated from Lion Head"s face. She threatened him, "I thought you were an honest and dependable cat. I didn"t expect you to s.h.i.+rk your responsibility once you"ve taken advantage of me." With one paw pressing against Roly Poly"s forehead, she began death-glaring Roly Poly. Immediately, her body turned bigger and bigger.
In the blink of an eye, she had already morphed into the size of a tiger. She continued pressing against his forehead with her paw as anger and fury poured out of her eyes.
Meanwhile, Roly Poly was shaking like a leaf as he came face to face with this monster. He struggled to explain, "When … when … when did I ever take advantage of you?"
Lion Head"s lower lip protruded in a sulky pout as her claws left behind a trail of scars on Roly Poly"s forehead. Her face turned crimson once again as she explained, "You pounced on me the moment you saw me previously. Are you going to deny and pretend that that never happened?"
As she spoke, she raised her tiger-like paws in the air and reflected the light beams from the night lamp, instantly blinding Roly Poly. Suddenly, the giant paws plummeted from the skies and stopped centimeters away from Roly Poly"s face. Roly Poly was barely able to breathe as he began shuddering from head to toe.
At this moment, Roly Poly"s eyes gleamed with excitement when he noticed a familiar figure at the corner of his eyes. Roly Poly could finally sense a shred of hope as he screamed at Zhao Yao telepathically, "Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Get me out of here! This fat b.i.t.c.h is gonna kill me!"
Zhao Yao could not bear to look at Roly Poly. He let out a long sigh of despair and explained, "Roly Poly, just endure for this little bit. I promise you that you will be my right-hand man in the café once this ordeal ends. Beneath you would be tens and thousands of cats."
"Huh?" Roly Poly looked towards Zhao Yao as his face plunged into despair. However, he suddenly found himself in a dilemma after hearing his words.
Zhao Yao continued saying, "Roly Poly, you can only be a great cat if you have endured the hards.h.i.+ps of the world. How can you be their leader if you have not sacrificed one bit for them? How can you convince them to submit to you?"
Resolute flashed across Roly Poly"s eyes as he swept his head towards Lion Head. However, he almost burst out crying the moment he saw Lion Head"s face. He exclaimed, "But isn"t this too big of a sacrifice?"
Zhao Yao finally looked towards Roly Poly with an extremely serious and solemn expression, "Roly Poly, among all the cats inside the café, you are the one who I have pinned all my hopes on. Matcha is too naïve. Elizabeth is too sn.o.bbish. Dust Ball is simply just a loner. I"ll be happy if Mango can even survive with his intellect. Rice Cake is stricken with that burdensome illness.
This heavy responsibility is now resting upon your steady shoulders. A cat"s estrus period only lasts for at most one week. This week will be over in the blink of an eye. I will receive you at the end of the week and crown you as my number one henchman."
Roly Poly"s pupils instantly constricted. These promises had managed to sway Roly Poly"s stance quite significantly.
Zhao Yao decided to increase the stakes by announcing, "Roly Poly, if you promise me, I"ll instantly transfer RMB 5,000 to your account right now. Do you know how long it takes for a regular working adult to save up RMB 5,000? Just one week and that money will be comfortably resting in your pocket."
"Stop tempting me!" A tinge of despair flashed across his eyes before he slammed his paw down on the floor, "I"m going to do it."
After uttering his last words, Roly Poly shut his eyes and embraced Lion Head"s enormous head in his chest.
Lion Head was pleasantly surprised by his sudden initiative and instantly reduced in size. She had instantly shrunken to half her original size and could pa.s.s off as any ordinary cats in the neighborhood. Her face turned crimson as she complained, "Why do you have to suddenly turn so violent?"
With her head firmly clasped in his paws, Roly Poly was staring death directly in its eyes as he whispered into her ears, "b.i.t.c.h, I like you."
Bam! Roly Poly"s words were like a cupid"s arrow which instantly plunged into her heart as her body collapsed into his arms.
60*2 experience points earned.
"Roly Poly, I never expected this day to come in my lifetime. It feels as if I had just managed to marry off an ugly son. As your father, I feel both proud and happy for you." Zhao Yao rubbed against his tearless eyes and turned his body around. He did not want to interrupt their first night together as a couple.
BOOK: lv4(4068/5000)
"Soon, soon! At this rate, I will be able to upgrade in a matter of days!"A smile danced on his lips and he could not wait to start another mission.
Hence, Zhao Yao spent all his time running around the extradimensional belly, lending a helping hand to all the supercats. Some cats managed to reward him with missions and experience while some left him empty-handed.
After this tumultuous journey harvesting experience points from his cats, his BOOK had finally reached lv4(4668/5000). From this period of interaction, he had managed to forge a deeper bond with all the cats by leveraging on his ident.i.ty as Matcha"s right-hand man.
A faint smile continued to be plastered on Zhao Yao"s face when it was time to knock off.
"This is unexpected. At this rate, I"ll be able to upgrade my BOOK by tomorrow. But should I spend the points on the BOOK or should I pump them on the cats instead?"
Zhao Yao had not decided on the allocation of the experience points as of yet. After all, upgrading was not on the top of his priority list. His most pressing task was to collect more experience points.
s.h.i.+ Yu walked past Zhao Yao and noticed the silly smile that had been hanging there the entire day. A frown crept up her face as she sneered, "Zhao Yao, why are you so happy? You have been smiling the entire day while your b.u.t.t is glued to this seat. Have you cleaned the café yet? Have you swept the café yet?"
"Immediately!" Zhao Yao remained immersed in his daydream as he instructed Elizabeth to activate her illusion while he cleaned up the place using Dust Ball"s abilities.
With the help of extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao managed to make the cafe spick and span in a matter of minutes. Hanako and s.h.i.+ Yu stood in a corner as they observed Zhao Yao humming to his favorite tune while cleaning the place. They were all taken aback by this weird scene.
Since introducing his right-hand man, Zhao Yao, to the supercats, King George had not set foot into the extradimensional belly. Without internet in there, Matcha would never enter that place willingly.
When he noticed Zhao Yao"s exuberant mood, he could not help but asked Dust Ball, "What did that stupid guy do inside your belly? Why is he so happy all of a sudden?"
Dust Ball slid Matcha a glance and explained, "He has committed all sorts of atrocities that you could possibly imagine inside it. He had literally turned my belly upside down, inside out. Does he really treat that place as his home?"
"Oh," Matcha nodded his head to Dust Ball"s complaint, "In summary, he simply did whatever he deemed fit."
Dust Ball nodded to Matcha"s summary and continued, "You are right! Zhao Yao is growing increasingly c.o.c.ky these days."
A glimmer of excitement flashed across Matcha"s face as he thought, "The cats have started to grow unhappy against Zhao Yao"s rule. Zhao Yao, we, cats, have elevated you to your current position. Similarly, we can bring you down as well.
"Hmph, I guess he has already lost the cats" confidence. This means that I"m a step closer to succeeding his throne."
At this moment, Zhao Yao had finally finished cleaning the café and announced, "Time to go! Elizabeth, we"ll go back home for a while before I bring you to the cinemas!" Zhao Yao had actually lived up his promise to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth"s eyes sparkled with excitement as she raced towards Zhao Yao.
"Elizabeth, do you have any movie preference?"
"Tiny Times!"
