80 Profi ? (1/2)

The next day, Zhao Yao's cafe was officially open for business.

He was in the store by early morning, along with Shi Yu and Baiquan. The three of them were wearing the tailor-made, albeit cheap, black-and-white uniforms he ordered from TaoBao.

It was at exactly eight a.m. that morning when an update appeared in the mission panel.

Monthly Mission: Grand Openings Require Hard Work Too

Objective: Make a profit from the cat cafe by the end of the month

Reward: Gain 100 experience points for every RMB 50,000 profit earned (all points will be added to your account at the end of the month)

Punishment: None

Zhao Yao's face lit up as he read through the new mission details. This was an excellent opportunity to earn money and experience points at the same time.

The best part? This was not some one-off mission. It was a recurring one, which meant that he could be raking in lots of cash and points every single month.

It was perfect.

”Thank God I kept the operating costs low,” he smiled.

His gaze surveyed the cafe until it landed on Elizabeth, who was elegantly perched on the highest platform of the kitty tower. Her eyes were glued to the television show lighting up her phone screen.

”Elizabeth,” he started, ”Turn on Celestial Beats now, won't you? Do that whenever you're here. Fill the entire cafe.”

”Got it,” Elizabeth replied.

With an irritated swish of her tail, a wave of inaudible beats gradually fanned across the cafe, reaching every nook and corner.

The effect was instant. The mood in the cafe was lifted. The air was transformed with an almost ethereal and other-worldly lightness.

Everyone could feel it. Baiquan, Shi Yu and Zhao Yao were washed over with a sense of relaxation like they have never experienced before. Each particle in their bodies was dancing with unadulterated joy. Every ounce of stress was released from them into the air, where it evaporated into nothing.

”It's the Hell Aura again!” Baiquan beamed.

Having become a frequent visitor at Zhao Yao's home, he had grown accustomed to the aura and enjoyed bathing in its glow.

He once asked what exactly this feeling was. Zhao Yao responded that they were experiencing Hell Aura, which made you stronger the more you spend time in it.

Of course, Baiquan had no idea that this was a complete lie. Zhao Yao had fabricated it to motivate him to work harder at his house duties.

”Ah, I get Master Zhao's master plan now,” Baiquan pondered, eyes shining with excitement, ”He's opened a cafe here to corrupt college students and spawn thousands of demons! He truly is a cut above my Troll-faced Devil.”

Like Baiquan, Shi Yu was deep in thought as well. The bliss brought by Elizabeth's Celestial Beats had eased all the tension pent up in her body. A goofy grin was plastered on her face. At that moment, she understood why Zhao Yao described the cafe that way on the board by the entrance.

She moved towards Zhao Yao, smile still in place.

”So, this is the power of your supercat?” she asked quietly.

Zhao Yao nodded with a grin.

”Yes. Don't tell anyone,” he put a finger to his lips.

Shi Yu nodded in response, her eyes falling onto Matcha, Roly Poly, and Elizabeth. The three of them had arrived at the cafe today with little backpacks swung across their tiny shoulders, each holding a mobile phone. Anyone could see that they were not just normal cats.

As she watched them, she could not help but wonder if Zhao Yao had more than one supercat.

”Could all three of them be supercats?” she thought.

She was determined to observe them and find out.

Dust Ball had completely evaded her attention because it had no interest in mobile games and needed no bag to carry a phone.
