295 Delicacy and the Phone ? (2/2)
It was almost winter and the weather was growing increasingly unbearable by the day. This was especially true for the stray cats living in the wild.
Zhao Yao pinched the bridge of his nose and decided to just open his gate and asked, ”Do you want to spend a night here?”
”Thank you!” Yellow Mud jumped up and down and dashed straight into Zhao Yao's apartment.
Zhao Yao reminded him, ”Do not pollute my place with your poisonous shit.”
”Yes!” Yellow Mud was greeted by the scene of Roly Poly and Matcha hugging an empty bowl with their tongues licking all over it. He knew who they were. They were the ones who barged into his home and beat him to a pulp. The memory was as fresh as ever. He suppressed a scream and hid under the couch.
Zhao Yao stared at the phone in his hand curiously.
”Every cat king was given a phone? How are they supposed to charge it?”
The phone was coated with metallic jet black paint, with no visible brand logos on it. Zhao Yao tried weighing it in his hands and found it significantly heavier than most phones.
”This phone? Don't tell me that this was custom made?” Brimming with curiosity, Zhao Yao extended his finger towards the home button before stopping millimeters away. He thought, ”What if they track my location with GPS?”
Preferring to stay on the safe side, Zhao Yao went to a small garden in his district before tapping on the button. Seconds later, a mixture of colors flashed across the screen before a set-up screen appeared. It required the user to input details such as the name, species and the area he resided in.
”Hmph, it's automatically connected to this webpage the moment I switch it on. It has internet on the phone itself?” Zhao Yao's pupils constricted as he breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn't switch it on back in the apartment. From now on, he had to be extra careful with this phone. He considered switching off the phone for most of the day.
Zhao Yao glanced at the webpage and found it extremely user-friendly and aesthetically-appealing. It felt so refreshing to the eyes. There was even a simple note at each paragraph's containing a simple explanation. A voice prompt would be activated if you hovered at a portion for too long.
”Is this to make it easier for cats to operate? However, supercats had acquired basic literacy skills since awakening their powers. Hence, it should not be too much of a problem for them to register.”
Zhao Yao then proceeded to fill in his information.
Name: King George
Species: LiHua
Gender: Male
Age: 2 years old
…
…
After filling in this laborious information, a pop up prompting for a facial recognition appeared. Zhao Yao's eyebrow shot upwards as he muttered, ”So high-tech?” He rested the phone on a tree branch before calling down Matcha. He even reminded Matcha, ”Remember to fold your ears. It will act as some kind of disguise.”
”Matcha replied smugly, ”I have always been a Jiangmen Fold.”
Matcha began posing before the camera. In the blink of an eye, he had successfully registered and was brought to the newcomer's tutorial interface. From now on, it required Matcha's face for the phone to even unlock.
”Hmph … this had instantly collected all the information of every single cat king in Jiangmen city. The organizer has spent quite a lot of money on this.”
Seeing the bright blue words, tutorial, printed on the screen, Zhao Yao confidently chose to skip it. He knew that this was specially prepared for cats that were unfamiliar with phones. Naturally, Zhao Yao did not need it.
Other than the basic interfaces and applications inside the phone, there was a special application pre-installed on the phone – Cat Web.
Zhao Yao skimmed at its content and realized that it was a forum. There were close to ten threads inside the forum, with a few particularly popular ones. More than one thousand comments had been posted on this forum each day.
”If a cat king is behind every single account, the organizer behind this is truly sick.” Zhao Yao tapped on a random thread and his attention was immediately attracted to the words, introduction to cat king competition's rules and rewards.
