  Looking at the mess around the floor and smelling the strange odor, Zhao Yao felt a bit disgusted and could help frowning deeply, “No, at this rate I might just puke.”


  As such, Zhao Yao quickly casted an illusion on himself and the supercats around him, pixelating all the ‘curry’ around them and turning the bad smell in the air into a floral one.

  “Feels much better now.”


  Zhao Yao continued to venture deeper into the base. Fortunately, Kaede Hattori had previously prepared sufficient intel about the base, so he followed the descriptions according to the intel and reached the front of a fortification.

  Using the power of burrowing beneath the surface, he successfully bypassed layer after layer of defense and opened a secret underground chamber. Zhao Yao immediately found a bunch of supercats inside, but frowned at once when he saw them.

  This room for taking care of the supercats was actually pretty well-furnished. In terms of size, facilities, arrangement and decorations, the room was very suitable for supercats to live in, and even had electricity and Internet connection, as well as food and drinks.

  However there were pixelated images all over the room, and a strong floral scent assaulted their senses.

  The key thing was that Zhao Yao only saw two supercats, not four.

  The two supercats were one male and one female respectively. The female cat lay on the floor and her butt area was covered with pixels, while the other male cat was leaning his back on the wall, and was covered in pixels from head to toe.

  Zhao Yao thought for a bit, and decided to reveal his presence, but in the illusion of a soldier.

  When he saw Zhao Yao and his company suddenly materialize, and the look of disdain on their face, the pixelated cat immediately said, “This has nothing to do with me, I didn’t stuff anything into her. The moment I climbed on her she started shitting like crazy, shooting out everywhere like a machine gun. The whole room is covered in her shit, which is so scary, too scary.”


  The pixelated cat was obviously traumatized, and could only repeat the four words ‘so scary, too scary’ at the end.

  Zhao Yao stared at this cat for a while, but he was fully pixelated, making him say in exasperation, “Which one of you is going to clean him up? I can’t even tell which one of the four cats he is.”


  All the cats shook their head to show their unwillingness, angering Zhao Yao, “When it’s meal time all of you come rushing forward, why is it that when it comes to the dirty job no one is willing to help? I will only give you all a minute to choose a cat among yourselves to lick him off.”


  All the cats stared at each other, and started to discuss noisily among themselves in their consciousness, with all sorts of power and money transactions happening at the same time, including catmint, game coins and RMB.

  Conversations across consciousness started opening up as if they were all in a group messaging chat.

  At first, the biggest consciousness chat group, which all the supercats were involved in, started off discussing noisily but it all ended in silence towards the end.

  After which, it split into small groups of two or three supercats discussing among themselves in their own consciousness chat groups.

  However, there was only one cat at the scene, Fish Ball, who glanced at all the cats around him with a strange look as he monitored his only consciousness chat group, the chat where all the supercats could hear in, and screamed out, “Why have all of you stopped talking?”


  All the other cats turned their heads and stared at him, a strange glint flashing in their eyes.

  One minute later, Fish Ball was dragged towards the pixelated cat by Zhao Yao. Fish Ball struggled and thrashed about wildly as he was being dragged, and shouted and screamed wildly, “You guys can’t do this! I’m going to tell Xiao Yu! You guys are bullying other people’s cat!”


  Zhao Yao coaxed him and said, “Don’t worry, I will send you home in a bit. Xiao Yu will wash you clean, and look……” as he said that, Zhao Yao snapped his fingers, and the pixelated cat had turned into a huge pile of small dried fish.

  “Licking this won’t be a problem right?”


  Fish Ball hesitated for a moment, desire lurking in his eyes, but at the next moment he regained his senses and shook his head agitatedly saying, “No! I don’t want to lick that s*it!” Suddenly, his eyes brightened and he said, “Wait! Wait…… wait, I have an idea!”


  One minute later, Noodle slowly walked out from the dimension doorway and appeared in front of everyone. Once he stepped into this secret underground chamber, he was immediately influenced by the surroundings and saw pixels all around him.

  He frowned and asked Fish Ball, “Fish Ball, why did you call me here? I am very busy you know, I have no time to play games with you guys.”


  Zhao Yao asked curiously, “Hey, Noodle, why were you so near my house?” If he was not anywhere near that 18-storey building of his, he would not have been able to find him so quickly.

  Noodle’s expression stiffened as he casually replied, “I was just walking around, what’s wrong with that,” as he thought to himself, “D*mn it, why can’t I find the ‘curry’ that I ate last time.”


  Zhao Yao stared at him suspiciously, “Really?”


  Fish Ball quickly communicated with Zhao Yao through his consciousness, “Zhao Yao, quick, remove the illusion for Noodle!”


  “Huh? Why?”


  Fish Ball shouted, “Stop asking, just trust me!”


  Zhao Yao hesitantly removed the illusion for Noodle and in the next moment, he saw the husky stand up abruptly, looking at the pixelated cat in disbelief.

  The husky’s heart thumped in excitement, “An average-looking Dragon Li that’s covered in fresh yellow ‘curry’ is the perfect combination between cat and ‘curry’, how could there be anything tastier than this? One lick of this would not only give the taste of a cat’s fur, but also the rich smell and taste of fresh ‘curry’.”


  In the next moment, Noodle had already charged forward as he was drooling. Just like a cat lover seeing a cat, a cat seeing catmint, and the husky seeing shit, he charged forward crazily and started licking the pixels around the pixelated cat.

  Once the pixelated cat saw a husky charging towards him, he immediately screamed in fear, “Save me! This dog wants to eat me!”


  As he watched the pixels being slowly licked off, revealing the real look of the Dragon Li, Zhao Yao shook his head, “If I remember correctly, this cat is neither the gravitation or robot integration cat.”


  Matcha asked curiously, “Then what is his power?”


  “Peeing with a very accurate aim,” Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, “That’s what it appears on the surface, but I heard that after borrowing his power it could give one a near-perfect shooting aim of almost 100%. Anyone could become a sharpshooter from that, and this could be considered a commonly used power among the American apostles. The effect is considerably good, and appears discreet, which is very good for field work.”


  As for the other supercat who had passed out from shitting around the whole room, Zhao Yao had already checked her out and confirmed that she was neither the gravitation or robot integration cat.

  In this case, he could only steal two out of four cats, achieving a mission completion rate of only 85%.

  “D*mn it, they must have changed the location for placing the supercats.” Zhao Yao asked the two supercats, but they too had no idea where the other two cats had been transferred to.

  Zhao Yao stared at the mission panel. With a completion rate of 85%, the mission could be considered complete, but on second thoughts, the rewards for an 85% completed mission could definitely not compare to that of a 100% fully completed mission.

  “Does that mean I wouldn’t get my Paralysis Ring and Dragon Slaying Saber?”


  At the same time, loud noises were came from the outside, as the reinforcement had arrived.

  Although he felt indignant, Zhao Yao was still able to think rationally as he knew that the remaining two cats would not be easy to find. Hence, he retreated out of the base and found Kaede Hattori to fulfil his task.
