"Anyway, I'll be bringing Mango back home, " Zhao Yao scratched his chin and continued, "Please keep an eye out for him. Stop him from peeing all over the apartment."
"I don't mind having one more intellectually challenged cat at home, " Matcha smirked and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of him."
The remaining supercats nodded their heads in agreement as they could empathize with Mango's situation. Matcha jumped and returned to his massage throne. He took out his phone and noticed the Wechat message coming from Chubby Luban Assassin.
"Are you there?"
Matcha replied, "What's the matter?"
Fish Ball retorted, "Didn't you promise me to return my RMB 50 after you increase your daily transactional cap? When do you intend to return me my money?"
Matcha replied nonchalantly, "Haven't you received the money? I've already transferred it to you."
Fish Ball took Matcha's words for it and replied, "Oh, but I still haven't received it yet."
Matcha replied, "Alright, I'll help you check."
After the 5 minutes which seemed like an eternity for Fish Ball...
Matcha typed, "Oh no! it seems like your account was suspected for money laundering. They are going to freeze it."
Fish Ball jumped in fear, and his tiny paws flew around the screen, "What? No! This account belongs to my owner and not me. If she finds out that I've been using her money, she will kill me!"
Matcha replied, "I can't help you. I suspect someone had misappropriated your owner's account. You have to inform her about it."
"No, no, no! If she finds out that I've used her Alipay secretly, I will be dead!"
"How about this, you can transfer RMB 200 as a security deposit. This would stop them from freezing your account. If they checked and realized that there's nothing wrong with your owner's account, they would return you the RMB 200."
Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "Oh, thank God. It would be disastrous if the account got frozen." Meanwhile, heartless Matcha had returned to a game of Mobile Legends.
Spirit cat which floated behind Matcha witnessed the entire dialogue between him and Fish Ball. He could not help but whisper, "Is Chubby Luban Assassin a r*tard?"
Spirit cat did not believe Elizabeth's words when she claimed that it was possible for a supercat to be intellectually challenged. However, this incident had radically changed his opinion on it.
"It's not just Mango; there are other supercats which are also intellectually challenged."
At this moment, the entire building experienced a massive tremor. It was as if the floor which they stood on had turned into cotton. Everyone lost their balance, and the furniture started sliding around the apartment.
Zhao Yao patted his chest after the tremors had subsided. He mumbled, "What's going on? Why is there another earthquake?"
The vein on Zhao Yao's forehead popped out again at the thought of an earthquake. Recently, the earthquakes were gone from Jiangmen city for a period. He thought the cat behind it had been captured.
However, the frequency of earthquakes had increased the past month. The pricing houses in Jiangmen city had plummeted, and Zhao Yao's apartment value had dropped to one-third of its original price.
Suddenly, Zhao Yao heard a ring in his head, and the contents of his mission panel had changed again.
Mission: Stop the earthquake!
Objective: Find the cat causing the earthquake and stop it from causing further earthquakes.
Reward: 300 experience points
"This mission!" 2 beams of light shot out from Zhao Yao's eyes as he exclaimed, "This is right up my alley! With my '2X Exp Card', the points earned would become 600. It's time for me to put an end to this nonsense!"
However, Zhao Yao knew that he could not just leave his house now and start finding this cat without a plan. The cat responsible for the earthquakes had a massive bounty on it. Even without producing a magnitude 8. 0 or 9. 0 earthquake, it could already destroy a country by creating a few minor tremors a day. The country's economy would be affected, and it would collapse.
Many people must have started searching for this deadly cat.
"I'm afraid even people like Ho Hao Cang and Inspector Ho had started their search." Zhao Yao clutched his head and thought, "It's also about time to settle my business with Ho Hao Cang. With my perfect illusion, I could easily disguise as someone else as long as I'm not caught on security cameras."
"I also have my upgraded extradimensional belly!" Zhao Yao opened his mouth and had already absorbed a blanket into his belly.
After a few days of experimenting, he found that he could easily control where the object ended up in when they go absorbed. This meant that he could thrust the object into any corner after he had consumed them.
"If I put a tiny prison cell inside, I could even absorb the enemy and lock him inside the prison cell."
Hence, Zhao Yao spent the subsequent days collecting information on earthquake cat. He also allocated some time for online shopping to furnish his extradimensional belly with some useful tools.
...
Inside the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao was floating around in the darkness.
There were three containers of different colors floating in front of him. All were sealed to prevent their contents from spilling out.
Zhao Yao was contented with the current state of his extradimensional belly and returned to the real world. He decided to test his ability and reabsorbed himself into it. He had transported himself into one of the containers.
His mastery of the skill allowed him to do just that.
"Hmm, I will put food inside the yellow container."
He took a few packets of instant noodle, canned food and mineral water which he had prepared beforehand and absorbed them into the yellow container. He also consumed a few torchlight and some spare batteries.
"Hmm, I should also put some cabinets inside the container to prevent things from floating around."
Zhao Yao meticulously measured the dimension of the container and ordered a custom-made cupboard. He would separate the items according to their function and place them neatly inside the cupboard.
Extradimensional belly had turned into an ideal haven.
Zhao Yao went back to the real world before reabsorbing himself into the blue container.
He attached a sleeping bag to a rope which was bolted to the edge of the container. This allowed him to rest inside the extradimensional belly.
"I also need some forms of entertainment. What if I'm stuck inside here for a long time?"
Zhao Yao returned to the real world and prepared a stack of magazines, books and even bought a brand new phone. He had stored millions of games and movies on the phone.
"Haha, I can buy a game console and a large screen TV if I have spare cash in the future. However, I might need to have a generator in here if I have so much electronics."
"Oh yes, I also need some weapons! I should get a few baseball bats, a kitchen knife, and even paprika. This would be ideal weapons!"
Zhao Yao immediately went on TaoBao and ordered an assortment of baseball bats and weapons used for self-defense.
Zhao Yao's enthusiasm at furnishing his extradimensional belly resembled the enthusiasm he displayed when he built his secret fortress as a kid.
After furnishing the blue and yellow containers, he was left with the red container.
This red container would be used to capture his enemies.
"Hmm, this can definitely be reinforced. Maybe I can add a few traps in it, " Zhao Yao thought.
