227 The Hun ? (1/2)
Lion Head and Airplane's eyes were similarly filled with suspicion and wariness as they stared at their future companions. Their expressions emanated a strong wave of hostility when they made eye contact with these domestic cats.
However, Zhao Yao paid no attention to their behaviors. He just continued explaining the structure behind the Village of Dreams, the outskirt, core area and the heart of it.
Lucifer ran his fingers through the vast grass patch and a thought sprang in his head, ”Are all of these really fake?”
Gaia grew more impatient by the second and started stamping his foot against the grass. He stared at Matcha and exclaimed, ”Alright, I think we've spent enough time here. Can we go back now?”
Zhao Yao could not help but roll his eyes when he realized just how addicted these supercats were to computer games. However, he could empathize with what they were experiencing since he was once in their shoes.
Memories of his young self constantly pestering his parents for the game crossed his mind.
However, he still shook his head and mumbled, ”Just a simple game like Diablo 2 can get you so addicted already? What will happen if I give them World of Warcraft, Dota, Pokémon, and the Witcher in the future?
Even though Diablo 2 would always be remembered as a classic, many games had already surpassed it in terms of graphics, gameplay and even artistry style.
He propped his head on his chin and thought, ”Furthermore, I have even prepared that game …”
Zhao Yao (disguised as Matcha) tilted his head towards Gaia and explained, ”No, you will die if you continue spending 24 hours staring at that screen. I'll only allow you to return after three hours of rest.
Zhao Yao's words felt like a knife to Gaia's chest as he collapsed to the grass and laid there motionlessly.
With the smile on his face, Zhao Yao turned to face the remaining cats and continued, ”Alright, I think I have informed you about the most important things in this world. The rest is up to you to explore and find out.”
With a snap of his fingers, Zhao Yao had disappeared from their sights.
Actually, Zhao Yao had simply turned himself invisible and was about to bring Matcha away. However, something tugged at his heartstrings as he turned around and spoke to Dust Ball telepathically, ”Dust Ball, if anything happens, just return to your belly and inform me. I'll be entering your belly from time to time. Do you need me to bring along a phone or a laptop to relieve you of boredom?”
Dust Ball simply shook her head in response. She had lived all her life as a stray cat and was indifferent to the dramas and games that had captivated Matcha and Elizabeth. To her, these were just too childish.
On the other hand, the forest and nature in front of her brought her back to the good old days where she could just roam around freely.
With a few leaps, Dust Ball had masterfully reached a tree branch perched on the top of a tree. A gentle female voice rang in Zhao Yao's head, ”This is so much more interesting than your house. Oh yes, can you bring Mango here as well?” Her favorite companion at home was Mango and this vast grass patch was the best place for them to chase one another around. Without a companion, it would certainly get rather boring …
Zhao Yao gave a bitter laugh and replied, ”Not now.” Zhao Yao did not want Mango littering the place with all his shit.
Zhao Yao noticed Dust Ball lowering her head in sadness as she began wandering around the place aimlessly. He immediately shouted, ”How about another cat?”
”Another cat?” In her head, the images of all the cats in Zhao Yao's apartment began racing through her head as she tried to select her ideal hunting partner. Suddenly, her eyes glittered with excitement as she exclaimed, ”Can you send Roly Poly over instead? Also, remember to bring along some catmint!”
…
One hour later, Roly Poly had been robbed of his 5 senses as Zhao Yao cradled him in his arms and made his way into Dust Ball's belly.
”?”
”Roly Poly, you will stay here and accompany Dust Ball.” Zhao Yao instructed him as he carefully placed him on the ground.
Roly Poly still had no idea what was going on. He looked at his surroundings in confusion and asked, ”What are we playing?”
”Hunting game!” Dust Ball exclaimed as she began jumping up and down. She continued, ”Look at this place! It's perfect for a hunting game!”
