When it saw the man who looked exactly like Xiao Shiyu in front of its eyes, the kitten hesitated for a moment, lifted its head and sniffed hard. Once it confirmed that there was no issue with his scent, it rushed forward immediately, rubbing its head against his palm repeatedly.
"I'll... I'll give it to you!"
"I'll give it to you!"
Once he heard the voice from his head, the man chuckled, "So what are you going to give me?"
"I'll give it to you!"
The next moment, following the contact between its head and his palm, the man felt an overwhelming force coming from its body, this force, gentle yet firm, felt like it was constantly rushing towards the direction of his brain.
He simply decided to let down his guard and to let this overwhelming force flow right into his brain.
"So, is this your power?" His eyes showed a slight tinge of surprise.
"Miaow." Xiao Miao let out a purr, stretched out his paw and left a cut on the man's hand.
But moments after the wound was open, it began to heal by itself.
After wiping away the fresh blood from the wound and to see that the skin on his hand was completely free of the scar, the man chuckled, " This ability is pretty amazing."
"I have heard that every special human being is able to borrow one special ability, but am I able to borrow these special abilities like how humans do?"
"Erm.... maybe it's because of the contact between two bodies?"
Looking at the kitten rub its paw against its face with some sort of attachment, the man simply squint his eyes slightly, "This ability is not too bad, but..."
At that moment, the image of Xiao Shiyu flashed across his mind.
...
In the following few days, Zhao Yao followed his usual routine making cat food in the morning, followed by the training of his superpower, completing daily tasks assigned, and checking to see if there was any supernatural activity in Jiangmen City, as he looked forward to seeing the growth of Matcha and Elizabeth every day.
As he entered the kitchen with a high-speed camera, Zhao Yao took a kitchen knife in his hand and aimed it at the radish on the chopping board.
At the next moment, everything seemed to stay still as Zhao Yao used his forearm to cut the radish. After returning to his original position, time continued to flow as normal.
From an outsider's perspective, the whole process seemed like he merely vibrated his body and finished chopping the radish in one go, and that the whole process of chopping the radish was perfectly hidden by the freezing of time.
The next moment Zhao Yao jerked his body, the radish was chopped in one go.
As the high-speed camera filmed Zhao Yao, everything seemed like it was vibrating, the radish seemed like they were being chopped by the wind back and forth as if it had been sliced by a sword. In a blink of an eye, the radish was chopped into thin slices like silk.
When the radish was segmented completely, Zhao Yao let out a big sigh, rubbing his temples to ease his nerves.
"It seems there is progress yet again, once I ignited the fire inside of me, the speed of action and thinking multiplied hugely when time froze, thus I now have a stronger grasp with regards to the connection with time.
The present Zhao Yao was making cat food, his fulfilling his daily task and strengthening his superpower.
After finishing chopping the radishes, he took the high-speed camera he left at the side and glanced over the videos he had taken.
What he paid attention to was the duration of every single cut of the radish, which represented how much he was able to control time.
"0. 3s... 0. 5s... 0. 7s..." Zhao Yao stroked his chin, " Under a timing of a second, it definitely does not show that I have managed to control time very well, however as long as it is going to be very useful, it should be fine."
Zhao Yao's goal was to stop time within a time frame of 0. 5 seconds, which represented the time needed to cool-down before he is able to freeze time again.
After all, at the speed he was in when he froze time, with the fact that he was holding a knife, it can be fatal within 0. 5seconds. Therefore he wished to reduce his timing, to reduce the timing of his cool-down at the same time.
A cool-down of 0. 5seconds can greatly increase his safety when he is out of a time freeze, reducing his loopholes.
"Hmm, at this rate where I am able to quickly cast the power of time freezing, and reduce the cool-down in which I cast this ability, it is going to be very useful. It illustrates that every few milliseconds, I can unleash a fatal stab using my blade during close combat."
"This means that I need to have a really good grasp of controlling time."
Zhao Yao moved to a side, in his hand held a kitchen knife, and aimed at a piece of beef.
Thud Thud Thud! The air felt like a blade sweeping and slicing through constantly, as the huge chunk of beef repeatedly becomes segmented into small, thin slices of beef.
As he was strengthening his super ability, Zhao Yao examined the cat food.
"Mmhm. This time, let us try using less nutrient powder, and rely directly on the nutrients from food."
He shifted his eyes towards the countertop in the kitchen. The countertop had all sorts of ingredients such as chicken breast, heart, liver, beef, salmon, and squid.
"Mmhm. Animal meat provides protein and fat. Beef, Beef bile, Chicken heart, liver, salmon, and squid all contain taurine."
During this period of time, Zhao Yao checked all sorts of online resources to understand all types of nutrients. Taurine was said to be the most important nutrient for cats and was the most easily neglected by cat owners. A cat needs to have a sufficient daily intake of taurine, to maintain one's intestines, immunity, vision, and other factors.
For this cat food, Zhao Yao prepared all sorts of ingredients containing taurine.
An appropriate amount of pumpkin promotes digestion and contains many vitamins. But an overdose of pumpkin will cause diarrhea due to excessive carbohydrate intake. He took the ingredients from the countertop and threw them into the blender one by one."Vegetables such as celery and pumpkin are able to provide magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus too."
As Zhao Yao noted the various nutrients contained within these ingredients, he threw them one by one into the blender and started to mix all these ingredients together.
As the high-speed blender started to mix the ingredients, the ingredients looked like wanton or dumpling stuffing.
After the blending, Zhao Yao took out the meat mixture and poured into a box to let it steam.
As this mixture did not contain oil or salt, it should be a healthier option for the cats.
Outside the kitchen, Matcha, Elizabeth, and Mango were already getting impatient as they started to purr endlessly.
Roly Poly simply laid itself on the glass door of the kitchen, where its saliva was flowing out like a waterfall.
After he was done with the cat food, Zhao Yao looked at the above comments and slightly shook his head, "This is still considered top tier cat food, but isn't this too difficult to make? Is it nutritionally unbalanced? Or is there a problem with the ingredients?"
Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and started tasting the food, allowing him to understand that making good cat food is much more difficult than what he expected it to be.
The contents of the cat food must suit the cat's weight and condition. Thus, the various levels, standards, proportions, and weight of the minerals, vitamins, fat, and taurine must vary with each cat.
Zhao Yao knocked his head, "At least I've learned something about nutrients. In order to create high-quality cat food, it will take me much more effort."
As he delivered the cat food outside, the cats lowered their heads and started taking big mouthfuls.
Only Roly Poly looked at his small and tiny bowl and noticed that the bowls of Elizabeth and the rest of the cats were much bigger. Roly Poly complained, "Why am I given such a small amount of cat food?"
"Look at your stomach, do you even feel at ease to eat at all?" Zhao Yao twitched, "If I were you, I wouldn't even consider eating this at all."
Roly Poly glanced furiously at Zhao Yao, as anger turned into hunger, and gobbled down the cat food. However, he felt the few mouthfuls he took were close to chewing on wax.
"It smells pretty good, but god does it taste awful." Roly Poly raised its head and looked at Elizabeth and the crew eating heartedly. His eyes showed a tinge of sadness, "And you guys are also able to enjoy this kind of rubbish... sigh.. how I wish to have KFC right now, it has been a long time since I touched their Original Chicken."
At another corner, Zhao Yao passed the extra cat food over to the stray cats in the room. At this moment, his phone vibrated. He looked at the message, and his eyes showed a sign of dismay.
"The information I got from Big Brother Fei is related to that of the cat killer..."
