295 Delicacy and the Phone ? (1/2)
Dust Ball could feel the burst of flavors exploding in her mouth. The meatball slid down her tongue and down her throat like silk. The flavor was refreshing with a tinge of spiciness. The texture was smooth with a hint of springiness.
”This is … delicious!”

”Is it really so good?” Matcha's eyes were glued to Dust Ball's exaggerated expression. Matcha sank his teeth into the meatball as his pupils dilated, ”This is simply too good!”
Roly Poly had hurried over with a smile dancing on his lips, ”Can there actually be anything that's more delicious than fried chicken in this world?”

Even Elizabeth, the only one amongst them who was totally indifferent to catmint, could not help but come over and took a few sniffs of this well-received cat rice. She could not help but take a gobble of it with the explosion of flavors bursting in her body.
The perfect balance between the meat, fish, vegetables, and catmint waltzed on the tip of her tongue. Immediately, her tail shot upwards, reflecting just how happy she was with the food.
Mango, Lightning and even Rice Cake managed to quell their computer addiction and came over for this amazing dish. Soon enough, the cats had almost polished off the entire pot of cat rice.
Dust Ball crept towards Zhao Yao and began rubbing her body against his calf as she flirted with him, ”Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Do you have any more new recipes? I want to try all of them!” She could not help but lick her lips at the thought of more delicious cat rice. This dish infused with catmint had hooked her completely.
Meanwhile, the horde of supercats had completely surrounded Zhao Yao. Some were rubbing against his calf while others immediately pounced on his lap and buried their heads in his belly. All of them wanted more. They simply were not satisfied with one bowl.
The corner of Zhao Yao's lips curled upwards when he saw how popular his dish was and remarked, ”What new cat rice? This is no ordinary cat rice. I have spent the past few months pouring my heart and soul into this perfect recipe. Do you think it's easy to make this? The ingredients include catmint that must be grown inside the extradimensional belly. I cannot make another batch for you guys today.”
Despite his words, he was actually throbbing with happiness, ”Haha, I bet all of you have succumbed to my culinary skills. The loyalty points had instantaneously exploded.”
Disappointment sagged through all the cats as Zhao Yao's voice rang in their heads. Dust Ball stared at Zhao Yao with her pair of glistening eyes, ”Then quickly go and plant some more catmint!”
Zhao Yao immediately swept his eyes away from Dust Ball and made no response to her request. He simply let out a long and loud yawn before muttering, ”Sadly, growing catmint is such a tough and laborious job. I'm sure I can't grow too many if I do it alone. If only some cats volunteered to help me.”
Dust Ball reacted by sliding Zhao Yao a condescending glare and rebutted, ”You will have more than enough time to do it if you just cut down on your computer gaming.”
”What do you even know?” Zhao Yao retorted, ”I am gathering authentic battle experiences through these games. All my positioning and battle instincts were accumulated from my hours toiling in the game.”
Dust Ball could only roll her eyes when she heard these nonsensical complaints. However, she could not help but salivate at the thought of that mouth-watering cat rice. Left with no options, she said, ”Alright, where are the seeds for the catmint? I'll help you with them.”
A contented smile appeared on Zhao Yao's face as he took a glance at the catmint crops inside of the belly and thought, ”It's a pity that I grew so little at the very start. It will take at least a week before the new batch mature and I can use them for the new recipe. A week from now, I'll be busy collecting the 100 experience points every day!” Zhao Yao could not wait for the new abilities awaiting him.
At this moment, Zhao Yao's ear gave a slight shudder as he heard a series of soft meows coming from the door.
”This sound. Don't tell me it's Yellow Mud?” Zhao Yao swung open his door and saw a tiny yellow tabby standing by his doorstep. He stared nervously at his surroundings and seemed to be shivering. This was the previous cat king of Zhao Yao's district.
However, what caught Zhao Yao attention was not his appearance but the phone dangling from his jaws.
Zhao Yao bent next to him and asked curiously, ”What's that phone for?”
”This was given to me by the organizers of the cat king competition. They will use this to announce any announcements, rules, and prizes for this competition. It can even be used to communicate with other cat kings.”
Zhao Yao's right eyebrow shot up as he thought, ”It has finally arrived, Jiangmen City cat king competition.” He stared at the tiny cat crouching next to his feet as a tinge of pity flashed across his eyes when he saw him shaking like a leaf.
