Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mission Objective: Establish a shop that generates revenue through cat interaction within three months.

Mission reward: 30 experience points and the opening of a diamond hall.

Penalty for failure: Reduction of 100 experience points.

Upon reading the Mission Guidelines, Zhao Yao felt a wave of uneasiness, accompanied by a depressed sigh as he noticed the mission details.

“Does it bring you joy emptying my pockets...” Zhao Yao sighed, as he understood that the remaining 90 000 dollars will be gone in no time.

Zhao Yao hushed his thoughts and decided to focus on the main mission.

His objective was to raise BOOK to Level 2, and to tame Elizabeth eventually.

Everything went according to Zhao Yao’s plan. BOOK rose to level 2, allowing his pet’s maximum level to reach 2 as well. Therefore, his next step was to completely tame Elizabeth and register her into BOOK.

“How do I do this... How do I completely tame her...” Zhao Yao pondered in frustration.

Zhao Yao turned his head to face the window and witnessed a ball of fur that resembled Elizabeth. His heart stirred with emotions, as he chanted to himself, “I will overcome, capture and register her into BOOK! I will!”

He stared vehemently at Elizabeth for the next few minutes but her reaction shocked him.

Elizabeth was unfazed, batting an eye at him before turning back to sleep.

“No reaction I see...” Zhao Yao frowned, glancing at Matcha thereafter.

Matcha slouched on Mango, before licking her **, proceeding onto her back and her head... living up to his status of a “higher class” of cats.

Mango remained in her position, dazed.

Glancing at Matcha, Zhao Yao pondered “How did I manage to tame Matcha...”

It didn’t take long for Zhao Yao to come to a realization. “It must be that time... during that earthquake...”

“Matcha and my power exploded in unison for the first time to protect ourselves...” He thought.

“That must have been when I truly tamed Matcha...”

“Or... maybe not...” Zhao Yao sighed, recalling another incident which occurred about a month and a half ago.

While he was planning to sterilize Matcha at Starry Animal Clinic, Matcha bit Zhao Yao, invoking unique changes in Zhao Yao... Which allowed him to communicate with Matcha!

“Could it be this time...” he wondered to himself yet again. The deeper he thought, the more sense it made.

He headed to Elizabeth, stroking her furry head.

Being a blue puppet cat, Elizabeth had light grey, M-shaped lines on her forehead. The rest of her body was covered with thick layers of beautiful fur. Her chest and neck regions had an abundance of white fur as if it was a white scarf.

Puppet cats were a special breed, which explains Elizabeth’s unusually big size. She was at least three times Mango’s size, two times as big as Matcha. Her unusual stature was one to behold.

“Go ahead, bite me!” Zhao Yao remarked, inching his arm close to Elizabeth’s mouth.

“You must be nuts...” Elizabeth thought to herself, mocking Zhao Yao’s foolishness.

“Just one bite... please...” he thought, pushing towards her mouth.

“Are you a fool? Take your dirty hands away” She replied coldly.

Zhao Yao stood unfazed, fixated on his goal. Determined, he grabbed Elizabeth’s tail mercilessly with his free hand.

Although puppet cats are known to grow long and thick tails, Elizabeth was different. Her tail was soft and fluffy, much like a ball of cotton.

As her tailed was yanked, Elizabeth felt a jolt of danger. Her blue sapphire eyes widened in anger, and her immediate reflex was to bite Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao shrieked in pain, noticing two bite marks on his index finger.

“Don’t ever touch my tail!” Elizabeth huffed as she retreated two steps back.

Zhao Yao did not seem to care, focusing on his wound as it disappeared gradually.

“Was I... successful?” he thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

With a look of disdain, Elizabeth glanced at Zhao Yao, who was giggling sheepishly to himself. She shook her tail and promptly leaped out of the window.

At the back of Zhao Yao’s head, his BOOK twinkled slightly. He knew what had happened.

The number of pets tamed became two, but the main cat on the interface was still Matcha.

“Something’s wrong... Where’s Elizabeth?” He pondered, with worry written all over his face.

Just as this thought appeared, BOOK’s interface flickered. Matcha’s information was being replaced with Elizabeth’s.

Zhao Yao was pleasantly surprised and decided to try something else.

“Matcha” He whispered to himself.

“Elizabeth”

“Matcha”

“Elizabeth”

After multiple tries, Zhao Yao smiled. He realized something.

He realized that BOOK will display information according to the name of the cat that he called out to himself.

At this moment, BOOK is:

BOOK: LV 2(50/1000)

Diamonds: 3 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Pets(2/2): Elizabeth

Grade: Lv1 (0/10)

Loyalty Level: 60

Ability: God’s Ray, creating visual and auditory hallucinations with her sound. Able to control a being through her gaze. Ability can be canceled when the affected being receives a heavy knock.

Current main mission completed, earning 50 experience points.

Main Mission: Obtain as much cat power, capture more supercats with unique abilities.

Mission Objective: BOOK to reach Level 3, tame third supercat.

Mission Reward: 500 experience points.

Penalty for failure: None.

This time, Zhao Yao was calm. He had predicted the mission objectives long before.

His main source of worry turned to Elizabeth’s powers. The more he read, the more he understood the potential of God’s Ray...

He grinned as that thought came to him.

“Just as Elizabeth said, this ability is really useful...”

“60 vs 100 huh...” Zhao Yao thought to himself, after looking at her loyalty points.

“This is a lot worse than Matcha...”

“I’ve spent too little time with Elizabeth, no wonder the trust is low...”

Zhao Yao understood that cats were relatively reserved and did not trust other animals easily. Thus, time is needed if a mutual trust was to be established.

With a greater understanding of God’s Ray, Zhao Yao was determined to try it out.

“Creating hallucinations using sound and controlling a being through my gaze... Interesting...” Zhao Yao thought to himself.

“Matcha!” Zhao Yao remarked, darting towards Matcha, who was still busy licking Mango.

The next moment, following with his thought, where Mango was a few moments ago turned into a pile of yellowish urine. Disgusted with what’s below him, Matcha meowed and retreated backward. Matcha cast a look of disgust upon realizing that his fur had been stained.

Zhao Yao giggled at Matcha’s predicament but wanted to try something else. Turning his eyes slightly reddish, Zhao Yao tried to activate his newfound body-controlling, psychic abilities.

Except this time, it failed. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

“What’s going on?” he frowned, as he tried to activate his abilities yet again. This time, his gaze shimmered with a red glow.

As his vision started to blur, countless memories flashed past him. What happened next shocked him.

He felt like his body multiplied into two copies!

Zhao Yao advanced forward, attempting to control Matcha’s body.

Just as he barely managed to control Matcha, Matcha’s body flashed and disappeared right in front of Zhao Yao. Without mercy, Matcha landed heavy blows on Elizabeth.

Zhao Yao was momentarily surprised, but snapped out of it immediately and realized something.

At that very moment where Matcha felt controlled, he activated his abilities resulting in the successful counter-attack on Elizabeth.

“Hmm... Seems like I am unable to use Matcha’s Time Stop when I switch to Elizabeth’s power...” Zhao Yao thought as he recalled Matcha’s sudden flash.

“Is this what people see when they witness Time Stop? It looks like teleportation!”
