Dust Ball came crawling out of his mouth and started looking around in a daze.
Zhao Yao instantly reacted to this strange scene and stammered, "Dust... Dust Ball? Did you come out from my mouth after you used Suck Me In?"
Dust Ball replied with a nod. She continued, "It seemed like I can choose to come out from your side when I'm inside the extradimensional belly."
Zhao Yao's eyes glimmered as he mumbled, "I've thought about this before. This means it's possible for us to establish a stable connection between the both of us. Regardless who absorbed the object, the other person could also expel the same item because we share the same extradimensional belly.
With the power of Suck Me In, we could instantly teleport to each other's position.
This is great!"
Zhao Yao knew that this meant that extradimensional belly had become the most potent escaping tool. Not only could he hide inside, but he could also escape to where Dust Ball was.
He instructed Dust Ball to try again, and it succeeded. However, he realized that Dust Ball could only escape from his side when Zhao Yao was using Dust Ball's power. If Zhao Yao was using Elizabeth or Matcha's power, Dust Ball could not flee from Zhao Yao's mouth.
Zhao Yao scratched his chin and considered, "This is because I cannot activate the cats' power simultaneously. This is inevitable. However, this ability is already strong enough in its current state."
Next, Zhao Yao immediately went online to get some canned food, biscuits, mineral water, and energy bar for his haven. He also ordered shelves and some machinery to fasten the shelves in place. The last item he got was the container which would house everything that he had bought.
He planned to absorb everything in tomorrow night and organized his temporary home.
After ordering everything he needed, something flashed into Zhao Yao's mind.
"Since I've already completed the monthly mission for last month, this means that I can spend the money on whatever I want." Zhao Yao immediately opened his WeChat app and sent a RMB 2, 000 red packet to Shi Yu.
Next, he sent another RMB 500 red packet to Matcha, aka The Strongest Luban.
Even though Zhao Yao did not promise Shi Yu any sorts of monetary reward beforehand, he still felt indebted to her for all that she did the previous month.
"Oh, I've almost forgotten about the commission for the cats. Let me calculate..."
...
"Hey, is this Shi Yu? How's everything? Are you free this Saturday for a team bonding meal?"
"Hi Inspector Ho, I'm so sorry, but I am busy throughout the entire day and won't be able to make it." Shi Yu replied coolly; she continued, "Could you kindly stop calling my Shi Yu because I don't think we're that close."
"We'll be closer if you join us for our gatherings, " Inspector Ho chuckled. Suddenly, his tone grew serious, and he said, "Is there anything weird going on at Zhao Yao's side?"
"Hmm, the cat café is doing very well, and he seems happy these few days, " Shi Yu replied. She recalled something important and continued, "As for the extraordinary thing which happened in the café last week, I have already reported to you in the email."
"Hmm, the power of transfiguration and illusion? That's a vital piece of information." Inspector Ho's impression of Zhao Yao changed slightly as he thought, "Illusion? Maybe his combat power was not as strong as we previously imagined."
Suddenly, Shi Yu interrupted Inspector Ho's train of thought and said, "Inspector Ho, how about my wages for the last month?"
"Oh, there are some budgetary constraints in our department. I have applied to the higher-ups, and you should receive it soon. Don't worry my dear Shi Yu, just be patient."
Shi Yu instantly ended the call and saw the notifications on her WeChat. However, she chose to ignore them all. Perhaps it was due to the effect of Celestial Beats, her skin had improved, and she looked prettier than ever. Many male customers in the café tried to woo her, and she was sick of all their incessant pestering.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and there was a new notification on WeChat. She took a glance and saw a red packet from Zhao Yao.
"Oh, Zhao Yao gave me a red packet? Did the sun rise from the west?" Shi Yu tapped on the red packet and realized that it contained RMB 2, 000. She was shocked by the sum and replied instantly, "Who is this?"
"I'm Zhao Yao."
"Who am I, then?"
"You're Xiao Shi Yu. What's wrong, what happened?"
"And what's our relationship?"
"We used to be classmates, and now we are colleagues. What the hell happened to you?"
...
Zhao Yao lips curled with disgust as he exited the chat with Shi Yu. He mumbled, "What's wrong with this woman?" He had just finished giving out the commission to his supercats since he had promised them a commission of RMB 1 for each customer they entertained.
Instantly, he heard the cheers from Matcha which erupted from the balcony.
"Long live Zhao Yao! Long live Zhao Yao!" Matcha opened the red packet and ascended his massage throne. His paws darted around the phone screen as he exclaimed, "I finally got the skin that I have always been waiting for!"
When Matcha pressed the button to purchase the skin, shivers went down his spine. He thought, "Finally the skin belongs to me after the past month of hard work at the café." Naturally, the first thing he did was to brag on WeChat and...
Matcha searched for Chubby Luban Assassin contact on WeChat and sent a screenshot of his newly bought skin.
...
Fish Ball, the American Shorthair with black stripes and grey fur, sat on top of the toilet bowl. He had carefully placed his phone on a stool in front of him.
A loud splash was followed by a moan from Fish Ball. His entire body shook gently.
He stood up and was getting ready to leave the toilet.
Suddenly, memories of how Xiao Yu went berserk the previous time he forgot to flush the toilet bowl flooded his mind. Fish Ball shook like a leaf. He immediately turned around and flushed for a good 10 seconds.
"Hmm, actually why am I even using a toilet bowl? Cats aren't supposed to use them!" Fish Ball grumbled until he suddenly remembered Xiao Yu's words.
...
"Hey, aren't you a supercat with intelligence? From now onwards, you will not use the litter box and will only use the toilet bowl."
"Why?" Fish Ball asked before continuing, "Isn't it natural for cats to excrete into the sand and bury their feces underneath the sand?"
"However, you are no ordinary cat. You have intelligence. Don't you feel ashamed to have someone cleaning your shit?" Xiao Yu replied with a look of disdain."Furthermore, buying cat sand every week is significantly more expensive than the water used to flush away your shit."
Fish Ball's jaw dropped as he tried to argue his way out of using toilet bowl, "But I'm already used to using sand. If your parents find out that I'm using a toilet bowl, they would realize that something strange had happened."
Fish Ball was still a cat and was extremely particular about the position of his toilet. He had already adopted a fixed toilet routine and was unwilling to budge. Now, it's not just a change of location, but a change from sand to toilet bowl!
"You don't have to worry about my parents' side. I have done my online research, and there are others who have trained their cats to use the toilet bowl. I would just claim that I had successfully potty trained you and they would be delighted!"
"But... But... But!"
"There is no but! My parents are so busy at work, and I'm only one who can afford to clean up after your shit. Do you think that I'm happy doing this dirty job? I'm on the verge of death every time I clean up after you shit!"
Xiao Yu glanced at Fish Ball and pointed at the cat using the toilet bowl in a Youtube video, "I think the ability to use a toilet bowl is so much better than your so-called superpower."
Fish Ball could not be bothered by Xiao Yu's snide remarks and thought, "Next time, I'll get the husky to pee and shit on your bed. Then you will know who the smarter animal around here is."
