223 Mission or Game? ? (1/2)
Supercats had existed for more than half a year. Since Matcha's transformation, Zhao Yao had been observing supercat's behavior for quite some time.
These intelligent lives, which recently appeared on the surface of Earth, were extremely curious about the history of human civilization.
In Zhao Yao's eyes, he believed that the rules and mechanisms governing this complex human civilization were something that supercats craved to understand since they had only just acquired human-like intelligence.
Hence, Zhao Yao understood that it was impossible to control them by simply resorting to violence. This was especially true for Zhao Yao since he intended to welcome more and more supercats into his cat nation. He needed these supercats to fall in love with the place and spend their time here willingly.
Zhao Yao's goal was to leverage the experiences and lessons learned throughout history and incorporate them into this place. He wanted to create a utopia within the extradimensional belly where supercats could enjoy with their friends the fruits of labor from our longstanding civilization, without humans' watchful eyes. This was to become a true playground for cats – Village of Dreams.
”There would be more than enough space by combining the extradimensional belly with the dugout. However, I have to encapsulate this place with an illusion and equip it with sufficient facilities. The illusion would prevent humans from entering and only allowed supercats to enter. Next, I have to use my power to maintain order in this place. I can start by using my money to improve their living conditions. This will become a secret utopia for supercats.”
”Oh yes, I think the renovation works for my café should be almost done by today.” Zhao Yao gave a call to Shi Yu and instructed her to inspect the ongoing renovation works. Then, he waved to Baiquan and told him to report to the café on his own.
He switched on his laptop and glanced at the contents of his wallpaper. His mouth curved into a smile as he whispered, ”Hmm … Let's start with this.” With that, he held the laptop in his hand and carried a portable electric generator into the belly.
…
Currently, eight cat heads huddled towards a tiny phone screen. All their eyes were glued to it which was currently playing Downtown Abbey.
Female cats such as Diana and Catherine were especially attracted to the drama's plot. They did not even dare to blink their eyes as they did not want to miss a single moment of it.
On the other hand, the male cats grew increasingly restless as they continued watching the show. The Garfield, Gaia, scratched his swollen head and grumbled, ”Boss, when can we finally watch Naruto?”
”Wait until I manage to f*ck Catherine, … No …” Ares immediately changed his words and said, ”Wait until we finish watching Downtown Abbey.”
”Huh?” The Siamese cat, Fūjin, instantly turned his head around. Ares's words felt like a knife to his heart. Fūjin tugged at Ares's tail and pleaded, ”But I really want to watch Naruto.”
Ares simply retorted, ”Naruto, Naruto. What's the most important lesson in Naruto? Patience! Can't you just wait for a while more?”
”But I don't think I can wait any longer.” The Garfield continued scratching the back of his head before he started stumbling across the place. He whispered, ”Why do I feel that my head is getting even more swollen? Why is everything spinning in this place?”
”Hallucination.” Ares interrupted Gaia's words and instructed him,” ”You have been staring at the phone screen for too long. You just need a good night's rest.”
Gaia stretched his back and replied, ”But the headache just worsens the moment I lay on the floor. Rakshasa, can you come over and help me take a look? Is the back of my head really swollen?”
The American Shorthair glanced at Gaia's head and noticed the bruise that had swelled to the size of a bun. However, he remained expressionless as he shook his head and replied, ”It's not swollen. From the looks of it, you're perfectly fine.”
Suddenly, the male ragdoll, Caesar, craned his neck forward and took a look at Gaia's condition. He could not believe what Rakshasa had just said and exclaimed, ”How is that not swollen …”
Before Caesar could complete his statement, Ares had already interrupted him by saying, ”This is not swollen. He's just fat and has puffy fur.”
”Really?” Caesar started scratching his own head and said, ”Speaking of a headache, I have also been suffering from a slight headache for quite some time. Also, it feels as if I've forgotten about something.”
Ares replied, ”Your body is still not accustomed to the atmosphere in the Village of Dreams which explains your headache.”
”That's right, Caesar. You should really spend some time training your body. Even Diana and I are fine. All you do is complain about your throbbing headache.” Catherine threw a condescending look at Caesar before continuing, ”We still have to thank Ares for taking care of us when you were unconscious.”
Tears welled up in Caesar's eyes as he dashed forward to Ares and said, ”Mr. Ares, thank you so much for taking care of my wife and daughter while I was unconscious. You will become my friend from today onwards.”
”I don't think we are just friends.” Ares raised his paw and started slapping him on his back. With his eyes fixed on Catherine, Ares muttered, ”We are brothers.”
While the two female cats were engrossed in the film, a beam of holy light poured down from the sky as a laptop slowly descended from the heavens. The laptop landed right in front of the group of male cats.
