Chapter 1113: Cat Owners Society
Mission completed. Another 40 000*2 experience points earned.
Zhao Yao smiled with satisfaction and looked at the other mission.
Mission: United as One
Mission Objective: Being the new person-in-charge of the Cat Revolution Society, you must use your wisdom to raise the morale and spirits of the whole society in your upcoming speech.
Reward: The visibility of the morale boost determines the amount of experience points awarded. The lowest amount is capped at 10 000, the highest being 50 000.
Punishment: None
Zhao Yao continued, “About the membership fees…”
“Membership… fees?” The white-haired elder asked hesitantly. “But the Cat Revolution Society never collects membership fees.”
“That’s why you guys can’t improve and the Society doesn’t prosper,” Zhao Yao said as he sighed. “Hmm, I came up with a new structure for the Society. From now on, the ranks in the Cat Revolution Society will be restructured. The lowest rank will be the Assistant, followed by the Supervisor, Manager, Director, Regional Chairman, Crown of Stars… till the highest rank of Senior Committee Member in the Committee for Cosmic Cats, adding up to a total of 18 rank levels.”
The white-haired elder and the rest processed the message Zhao Yao sent to them through their Awareness and gasped. “There are that many rank levels?”
Zhao Yao replied, “This is called a clear division of labor.”
“How do we raise our own ranks then?”
“About that… hold on for a bit,” Zhao Yao opened the dimension portal and dragged out Old Cat. He threw Old Cat before the crowd and said, “Old Cat, tell these people what I have in mind.”
“What?!” Old Cat was stunned for a moment. Moments later, he recovered himself after receiving the telepathic message from Zhao Yao. He coughed before staring squarely at the crowd before him as he spoke, “From today onwards, the Cat Revolution Society will be divided into a total of 18 ranks. You guys will be the pioneer batch of members, so you will need to make the first payment for membership fees…”
“After that, as long as you recommend one person to pay the membership fee, you can get a 3% commission, and once you reach 10 referrals, you can upgrade from a Level 1 assistant to a Level 2 Supervisor. Your commission rate will also increase from 3% to 6%…”
“Once your referrals learn the ropes and start pulling in new members, you guys will be able to earn commission from there. Once they successfully pull in 10 people each…”
After hearing Old Cat’s explanation, the Bald Head Elder commented excitedly, “So if we reach the rank of Regional Chairman, does that mean we can earn money without slogging our guts out?”
“Bingo. You catch on pretty well,” Old Cat said. “As long as you guys can rise to the rank of Manager, you will be able to borrow superpowers from Zhao Yao’s supercats for free.
If you become the Regional Chairman, you will be eligible to invite Zhao Yao to deal three blows to you.
If you become a Senior Committee Member of the Cosmic Cats Committee, that’s even better. You will be able to get your own supercat from Zhao Yao…”
Hearing Old Cat’s words, all the elders’ eyes glimmered with hope, as if they gained a new sense of purpose in life.
“Making Zhao Yao the person-in-charge was the right choice.”
“The Cat Revolution Society will definitely prosper in future.”
Old Cat said, “The Cat Revolution Society will no longer be an empty shell with nothing but a name to it. We will be a practical organization that gives its members their due benefits, an organization that strives for the betterment of mankind. Everything is fair and impartial, based on one’s own merit and hard work!”
Roar! The crowd cheered out loud in excitement.
Old Cat turned to look at Zhao Yao and asked in a flattering tone, “Zhao Yao, I think the name Cat Revolution Society sounds coarse and menacing, which would make it difficult for us to recruit new members. Why don’t we come up with a new name?”
“A new name?” Zhao Yao pinched his chin and thought, “Then let’s call it Cat Owners Society. May all the humans in the world have a cat to own and play with.”
Before everyone could react, Old Cat jumped out and exclaimed, “What a brilliant name! How auspicious! Cat Owners Society, Cat Owners Society. The name is clear and easily understood by all. Yet when you think about it, you sense a more profound meaning to it and the boundless potential it holds. It succinctly captures the simple goal of realizing a bright future for humans.”
“One name that can unite all men in the universe, how brilliant! What a brilliant name indeed!”
Old Cat shouted, “Never in a hundred years would I have been able to come up with a name like this!”
Everyone was equally amazed, not just because of the name, but also because of what Zhao Yao said.
“Everyone can have a cat to play with? This is really a great wish to have.”
“I never thought that Zhao Yao would have such high aspirations.”
“I never imagined that I could live to see this day.”
All the elders were in awe and approved of such a magnificent name.
Bai Yueguang asked, “Zhao Yao, how much will our membership fees be exactly?”
Everyone turned to Zhao Yao. This amount of membership fees to be paid was a crucial issue.
“100 billion USD of currency on Earth should suffice,” Zhao Yao smiled as he said. “Don’t worry everyone. The Earth is just a primitive and backward planet after all, 100 billion USD can’t even buy a cat there. Having a dinner there alone costs a few hundred millions of USD already.
I believe that with your capabilities you guys will be able to earn that amount in no time.
However, it’s not the style of our Cat Owners Society to let all our elders go out and work. So I thought of a convenient way for everyone to work.”
As he said that, Zhao Yao took out a stack of documents and gave it out to everyone. “This is the Assistant Loan that I have specially drawn up for everyone here. As long as you sign this contract, I will be the person paying for all your membership fees. Thereafter, all the money you guys earn will be deducted from this amount. If you want to pay off your loan as soon as possible, you just need to work for me for a short period of time. After all, it’s only a small sum, I wouldn’t possibly make life hard for everyone…”
Seeing the hesitant look on the elders’ faces, Zhao Yao continued urging them and said, “Now is not the time to drag your heels and be undecided over this. Red Huge Star only retreated after being attacked. The cats from the Furless Tribe will come back to find us soon. Everyone should hurry and sign your contracts before we retreat from this place…”
“But this loan…”
“Do you think I will cheat you guys?” Zhao Yao scrunched up his face and said angrily, “I can kill all of you by myself if I want to. Now that you’re borrowing money from me you’re still afraid that I will cheat you of your money?” As he said that, the Deflective Field rippled and the whole base camp slid downwards, scaring all the elders till their faces turned white.
The Bald Head Elder said, “Yeah, if Zhao Yao really wanted to cheat us, he could easily tie us up and force it out of us. Now that he’s willing to lend us money, you guys are still complaining? You guys really don’t know what’s good for you. I’ll be the first to sign it then.”
With someone in the lead, the remaining elders started to sign their own contracts as well.
Old Cat got cold shivers down his spine as he watched on. “How is this a loan? They’re outright selling their souls.”
From then on, the Cat Owners Society succeeded in revamping its system. Everyone looked forward to the future of the Cat Owners Society, brimming with passion to work hard.
Zhao Yao received a bunch of loan contracts in return. After thinking about it, he decided to stuff the contracts into his mouth to store them in his body, encasing them using the Deflective Field. In this way, he would not have to worry about misplacing them.
After patting his stomach, Zhao Yao smiled and said, “I won’t have to worry about misplacing them now.” He glanced at the mission in the Book and saw that 45 000 experience points had been credited and were ready to be redeemed.
After claiming the experience points, Zhao Yao led everyone to retreat from the planet they were on. After all, he had been severely wounded Red Huge Star. The Furless Tribe’s reinforcements could arrive at anytime then.
Next, Zhao Yao put Old Cat in charge of the restructuring process in the Cat Owners Society. He proceeded to contact some of the internal correspondents from the Cat Owners Society that were based in the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe to understand the situation on the front-line of the battlefield.
