Chapter 376: Favorite Time of the Month

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

An invisible Light Door spiraled out of nowhere. Dust Ball pranced out of it with a smug smile proudly plastered on her face.

Lightning, which stood next to a computer with a magnifying glass dangling by his lips, noticed and announced, “Dust Ball, you’re early today!”

Dust Ball nodded her head haughtily before answering, “Business was rather good this evening, that’s why I was able to come home slightly earlier.”

Before Lightning could even answer Dust Ball, Matcha had already sent a slap across his back and screamed, “Can you stop moving around? You are affecting my performance, do you understand?”

Meanwhile, a chorus of cheers and screams exploded from the other end of the living room.

“Chicken dinner! Chicken dinner!”

“I’ve finally had my first chicken dinner!”

“Roly Poly had 29 kills! Roly Poly is so strong!”

“29 kills plus a chicken dinner! Roly Poly, you are truly invincible!”

Roly Poly’s mouth pursed into a self-satisfied smirk when he noticed the attention and admiration his fan girls had showered him with. On the surface, he tried to look as calm as possible. However, he was actually bursting with excitement as he muttered, “Even though this hack was rather expensive, it was definitely worth it. Automatic aimbot! One shot one kill! Meowhahaha!”

Roly Poly noticed the crestfallen Matcha sulking in a corner and decided to rub some salt into his wound, “Matcha, I thought you did quite well! Can you remind me how many opponents you killed?”

Matcha remained completely indifferent to Roly Poly’s questions. Instead, Rice Cake answered on his behalf, “He had zero kills! For a moment I thought he was in the opponent’s team! Matcha, your only responsibility from now on is to be our in-game driver.”

Matcha was brimming with jealousy as he slid Roly Poly a condescending glare. He gritted his teeth and knew that things were not as simple as it seemed, “This stupid fatso! Last time, he couldn’t even kill the opponent when he was standing right in front of him! Escape was the only word in his dictionary! How did he suddenly become so strong? There is something that he is hiding from me!”

Meanwhile, Dust Ball pranced across the living room before disappearing into Zhao Yao’s bedroom. In one swift motion, she had drilled underneath Zhao Yao’s bed. This was her treasure chest – where bags of the freshest catmint were hidden. She planned to reward herself with some catmint for her exceptional performance today.

Zhao Yao was surprised to see Dust Ball home at this hour and asked curiously, “You are rather early today.”

“We met that same Japanese dude today.” Dust Ball had already collapsed to the ground as the catmint started taking effect, “He even brought a friend along. It was a free for all experience galore!”

Zhao Yao glanced at their experience points and realized that they had earned more than 200 points today. Even Zhao Yao wasn’t this efficient on normal days.

Seeing his cats’ wonderful performance buoyed his spirits considerably. Zhao Yao then laid on his bed as he waited for the clock to strike 12. It was the time of the month again.

“This was quite a fruitful month. First, I managed to harvest quite a significant sum of experience points from Chuan Xiao District. Red Packet’s arrival had also improved our business considerably.” A wide grin reflected off of Zhao Yao’s face as he rubbed his hand together in anticipation, “With Ares and Dust Ball hard at work, I’ll be able to upgrade the cats in no time.”

With the arrival of a new month, the experience points earned from the monthly mission had automatically tabulated into Zhao Yao’s BOOK.

The usual words appeared beneath the completed status of the monthly mission: The net profit for the month, after deducting the money spent of utility bills, cat food, tidbits, etc, was RMB 923,493. This totaled to 1800 experience points.

Zhao Yao couldn’t help but take in a deep breath when he saw the tabulation for the month. Somehow, he had turned into someone whose monthly income exceeded the 1,000,000 mark. Even though the majority came from Old Man Zhuang and his gang, it was still a considerable amount for someone of his age.

“I can’t believe that I would one day be part of this millionaire club.” Zhao Yao bubbled with joy when he imagined how he could double or triple his net worth by investing all these money wisely.

Hence, he instantly bought the ‘X2 Exp Card’ before tapping on the redeem button to collect his 1800*2 experience points.

Immediately, the BOOK reflected the changes:

BOOK: lv6 (7722/20000)

Matcha: lv7 (1800/20000)

Elizabeth: lv6 (2300/10000)

Dust Ball: lv8 (955/50000)

Ares: lv5 (3020/5000)

Lucifer: lv5 (2800/5000)

Sphynx Cat: lv4 (1800/2000)

“I didn’t realize that I had already recruited so many supercats into my team.” Zhao Yao was immersed in his thoughts as he started planning on how to efficiently allocate these experience points.

The first ones to be eliminated were Elizabeth, Matcha and Dust Ball on accounts of their exceptionally high levels. The experience points needed for their upgrade was simply too much. They couldn’t be upgraded to the next level even if Zhao Yao splurged all 7000 odd experience points on them.

This meant that he was left with Ares, Lucifer and Sphynx Cat. Because of their relatively low levels, Zhao Yao could afford to upgrade all three simultaneously.

With zero hesitation, Zhao Yao allocated the required experience points to these three cats, upgrading them simultaneously.

First up, he tapped on Ares’s ability branches.

“Hmph, from what I remember, Matcha, Elizabeth and Dust Ball received a growth skill level 6. It is a kind of power whose strength would increase proportionally to the cat’s level.”

As expected, a growth skill appeared for Ares.

Field Expansion: Increase the reach of the deflective field by the factor of five*Ares’s level.

Field Enhancement: Increase the strength of the deflective field by 50%

Obviously, Zhao Yao chose the first option. Currently, the sphere of the deflective field was restricted to its five meters radius. The ‘Power Up Card’ would stretch the radius to 100 meters, encapsulating a far larger volume.

However, with the newly acquired Field Expansion, the radius of the deflective field would instantaneously jump to 6*5 meters.

With a radius of 30 meters, the amount of ground covered was already quite significant. Zhao Yao dared not imagine just how large an area it could possibly cover with the ‘Power Up Card’ boost.

Furthermore, the effects of this power were not stagnant. Every upgrade in level would stretch the deflective field by another 5 meters. This was key to Ares’s increase in strength.

After settling Ares, Zhao Yao fixed his attention on Lucifer’s ability branches. Now that he was at lvl 6, Zhao Yao expected a growth skill for him as well.

The Tide of Rebirth: Increase the speed of regeneration by a factor of 0.4*Lucifer’s level

Basic Elementary Resistance: After undergoing countless regeneration, the body had grown immune to certain basic elements

This was not an easy decision. Zhao Yao hesitated as his eyes darted from one power to another. From its description, the Basic Elementary Resistance seemed like an ideal choice. However, he had no idea what these basic elements comprised of, but Zhao Yao speculated that they were most probably referring to extremely high or low temperature, electric or corrosion attacks.

However, a growth skill would continuously grow stronger as Lucifer continued leveling up. Hence, Zhao Yao stuck with the first option.

Thus, Lucifer’s regeneration powers received a boost once again, increasing to a rate that was 04*6 of its current speed.

Finally, it was Sphynx Cat’s turn. Seeing that he had only turned to lv5, such growth skills were definitely not available for him.

Zhao Yao tapped on Sphynx Cat’s profile and was greeted with two novel ability branches. They were:

Wraths of Pain: Hell-like tortures had rendered you immune to pains that would kill ordinary humans. Instead of hurting you, ordinary pains would strengthen you

Spirit of Insight: Rigorous training has endowed you with an observational acuity that was paralleled by none. You could even detect any hint of hostility amongst your opponent.

“Wraths of Pain combined with ultra-regeneration would turn me into a berserker. Maybe they’ll even work well together. However, Lucifer’s current ability has already made me immune to ordinary pains. Instead, I even crave for them.” Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully as he carefully considered his options, “Furthermore, I do not fancy the chaotic fighting style of a berserker. It’s also rather dangerous for Zhao Xue and Baiquan to use such powers in their battles. I guess Spirit of Insight is a better choice then.”
