“You have a cat?” Xiao Shiyu exclaimed astonishingly. In the meantime, she placed the creature on her lap. “Its snowy white paws are so cute.”.
Finding Matcha’s paws irresistibly cute, Xiao Shiyu could not help stroking its paws. Matcha let out a soft purr and pounced towards Shiyu’s chest.
“He’s so well-behaved, what’s his name?” She queried.
“Matcha” Zhao Yao said as he looked at the delighted cat.
“Silly cat, what are you doing?” he thought to himself.
Matcha stretched out his paws onto Xiao Shiyu’s chest and grinned, “Zhao Yao, do you want to mate with her? I can help you!”
“Matcha, Matcha, your white paws are so adorable!” Shiyu giggled.
“See? She’s such a gullible woman! With a few tricks, I can easily manipulate and control her.”
Matcha tapped his paws on Shiyu’s chest and uttered, “Treat me well and I’ll settle this naive lady. How about that?”
Zhao Yao smacked Matcha’s head, leaving Shiyu appalled by his actions. Shiyu then proceeds to care for the adorable feline.
Zhao Yao chuckled and joked, “He will be fine. This cat is resilient as hell, I bet he could survive just by eating poop everyday”.
“I’ll sue you for cat abuse, you little prick!” Matcha threatened.
“You little piece of shit, do you realize how long I have dreamt of doing what you just did?” Zhao Yao squabbled with envy while giving a pat on Matcha’s head.
Matcha let out a heart-rending meow, capturing Xiao Shiyu’s attention. “Careful, you wouldn’t want to hurt Matcha” she replied, sounding like a worried mum.
Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows in doubt, as he was certain that all he gave Matcha was a tiny flick. “This silly cat was obviously putting on a show...” he thought.
Meanwhile, Matcha laid comfortably in the arms of Xiao Shiyu, staring pitifully at her with his widened, affectionate eyes.
Xiao Shiyu caressed Matcha’s head and frowned, “How can you be so violent? You’re scaring the cat!”
Zhao Yao darted towards Matcha, with the feline smirking proudly back at him, all while Shiyu’s compassion grew from the constant piteous look of Matcha’s.
Annoyed by Matcha’s triumphant face, Zhao Yao threatened, ” Do you want me to release all the inscriptions?”
Matcha’s confident expression changed instantaneously and stared at Zhao Yao with indignation.
Xiao Shiyu remarked with an affectionate tone, “Take a look at Matcha, he’s already hurt and distressed... Please stop abusing it...”
...
On the other side, Bai Quan gazed dearly at the leaving Panamera, realizing that he had clenched his right fist unconsciously. Soon after, his arm started to disappear.
Uncertain of his direction, Bai Quan gazed into the distance. Eventually, he made his way towards Paradise City steadily.
Henceforth, Bai Quan decided to investigate the background of this rich brat. If he continued to harass Xiao Shiyu, he wouldn’t hesitate to teach him the harsh realities of this world.
...
After sending Xiao Shiyu home, Zhao Yao headed for a spin, where he met his daily patrol target of one hour. Upon completion, he made his way home with Matcha eagerly.
Observing his BOOK, Zhao Yao grinned in excitement. Together with today’s 10 EXP, he had fulfilled the criteria of having 100 EXP to Level Up BOOK.
BOOK : Lv(100/100)
Diamond: 3
Pet(1/1) : Matcha
Level: Lv2(12/100)
Loyalty: 100
Ability: Timefreeze ; Able to freeze time for 6s (Cooldown of 6 seconds)
Looking at the ‘plus’ signs on BOOK’s panel, Zhao Yao had a choice. He was able to use the experience stored in the BOOK to upgrade itself, to continue accumulating more experience points or to transfer them to Matcha.
As Zhao Yao focused on the ‘plus’ sign, a golden flash lit over BOOK instantaneously. Countless messages appeared and flashed through his mind.
Zhao Yao felt his body aggressively shaken, with his insides feeling as if they were razed and twisted by a raging bulldozer.
By the time Zhao Yao recovered from the distraught and regained consciousness, he was kneeling on the ground, covered in sweat from head to toe.
Matcha and Mango meowed continuously as Elizabeth stared at Zhao Yao from a distance.
“What happened to you?Are you feeling nauseous from eating too much?” Matcha probed Zhao Yao.
“You’re the one that’s going to vomit!” Zhao Yao refuted, standing up while turning his neck. At that instance, after he leveled up, Zhao Yao realized the significance of this upgrade.
Firstly, changes in BOOK’s panel :
BOOK: Lv2(0/1000)
Diamond:3
Pet(1/ 2) : Matcha
Level: Lv2(12/100)
Loyalty: 100
Ability : Timefreeze ; Able to freeze time for 6s (Cooldown of 6 seconds)
Upon reaching Level two, BOOK will require 1000 EXP to progress to Level 3, leaving Zhao Yao daunted.
His pet limit had increased to two, allowing him to attain Elizabeth.
Secondly, he became physically stronger.
When BOOK leveled up, Zhao Yao felt a wave of coldness and mysterious source of strength that integrated into his body.
This source of strength had a familiar aura, one that resembled Matcha.
“Matcha’s strength and mine have integrated even closer together... my body ...” Zhao Yao uttered, as he moved his limbs.
His ears and noses reacted as if he could hear the stray cats moving within the room. He was also able to sniff the pungent smell from the cats’ toilet, which wasn’t too pleasant.
At this moment, Zhao Yao had incorporated most of Matcha’s qualities.
“Now, I have gained additional cat strength,” Zhao Yao thought, clenching his fist. He smiled and said, “My physical ability has been enhanced, my reflexes seem faster, and my senses have improved. I certainly didn’t expect the upgrade to bring about such significant benefits”.
Apparently, every time BOOK levels up, a part of Zhao Yao attains one of his pet’s abilities.
When a level 1 BOOK upgrades to Lvl 2, the Supercat that was previously tamed will have a portion of its abilities upgraded.
Similarly, when a level 2 BOOK upgrades to Lvl 3, the Supercat that was previously tamed will have a portion of its abilities upgraded.
Hence, you will have (N-1) cat power when BOOK reached N level.
Although an Orange Tabby might be ordinary, Matcha was special. With his unique powers, along with his sharp-witted sense of hearing and smell, this resulted in Zhao Yao becoming more agile and nimble.
Feeling stronger with his enhanced abilities, Zhao Yao glanced at the mission panel.
The original mission guide to purchase a car and today’s daily mission had been completed. The mission panel showed level upgrading and taming Elizabeth as the main tasks left.
Now that the upgrade was done, Zhao Yao saw an additional mission guideline on the BOOK, exclusive to subduing Elizabeth.
