Upon reading the Mission Guidelines, Zhao Yao felt a wave of uneasiness, accompanied by a depressed sigh as he noticed the mission details.

”Does it bring you joy emptying my pockets…” Zhao Yao sighed, as he understood that the remaining 90 000 dollars will be gone in no time.

Zhao Yao hushed his thoughts and decided to focus on the main mission.

His objective was to raise BOOK to Level 2, and to tame Elizabeth eventually.

Everything went according to Zhao Yao’s plan. BOOK rose to level 2, allowing his pet’s maximum level to reach 2 as well. Therefore, his next step was to completely tame Elizabeth and register her into BOOK.

”How do I do this… How do I completely tame her…” Zhao Yao pondered in frustration.

Zhao Yao turned his head to face the window and witnessed a ball of fur that resembled Elizabeth. His heart stirred with emotions, as he chanted to himself, ”I will overcome, capture and register her into BOOK! I will!”

He stared vehemently at Elizabeth for the next few minutes but her reaction shocked him.

Elizabeth was unfazed, batting an eye at him before turning back to sleep.

”No reaction I see…” Zhao Yao frowned, glancing at Matcha thereafter.

Matcha slouched on Mango, before licking her **, proceeding onto her back and her head… living up to his status of a ”higher class” of cats.

Mango remained in her position, dazed.

Glancing at Matcha, Zhao Yao pondered ”How did I manage to tame Matcha…”

It didn’t take long for Zhao Yao to come to a realization. ”It must be that time… during that earthquake…”

”Matcha and my power exploded in unison for the first time to protect ourselves…” He thought.

”That must have been when I truly tamed Matcha...”

”Or… maybe not…” Zhao Yao sighed, recalling another incident which occurred about a month and a half ago.

While he was planning to sterilize Matcha at Starry Animal Clinic, Matcha bit Zhao Yao, invoking unique changes in Zhao Yao… Which allowed him to communicate with Matcha!

”Could it be this time…” he wondered to himself yet again. The deeper he thought, the more sense it made.

He headed to Elizabeth, stroking her furry head.

Being a blue puppet cat, Elizabeth had light grey, M-shaped lines on her forehead. The rest of her body was covered with thick layers of beautiful fur. Her chest and neck regions had an abundance of white fur as if it was a white scarf.

Puppet cats were a special breed, which explains Elizabeth’s unusually big size. She was at least three times Mango’s size, two times as big as Matcha. Her unusual stature was one to behold.

”Go ahead, bite me!” Zhao Yao remarked, inching his arm close to Elizabeth’s mouth.

”You must be nuts…” Elizabeth thought to herself, mocking Zhao Yao’s foolishness.

”Just one bite… please…” he thought, pushing towards her mouth.

”Are you a fool? Take your dirty hands away” She replied coldly.

Zhao Yao stood unfazed, fixated on his goal. Determined, he grabbed Elizabeth’s tail mercilessly with his free hand.

Although puppet cats are known to grow long and thick tails, Elizabeth was different. Her tail was soft and fluffy, much like a ball of cotton.

As her tailed was yanked, Elizabeth felt a jolt of danger. Her blue sapphire eyes widened in anger, and her immediate reflex was to bite Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao shrieked in pain, noticing two bite marks on his index finger.

”Don’t ever touch my tail!” Elizabeth huffed as she retreated two steps back.

Zhao Yao did not seem to care, focusing on his wound as it disappeared gradually.

”Was I… successful?” he thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

With a look of disdain, Elizabeth glanced at Zhao Yao, who was giggling sheepishly to himself. She shook her tail and promptly leaped out of the window.

At the back of Zhao Yao’s head, his BOOK twinkled slightly. He knew what had happened.

The number of pets tamed became two, but the main cat on the interface was still Matcha.

”Something's wrong… Where’s Elizabeth?” He pondered, with worry written all over his face.

Just as this thought appeared, BOOK’s interface flickered. Matcha’s information was being replaced with Elizabeth’s.
