âGreetings, do you have any comments regarding the game?â
âI feel that the skill designâs illogical. For example, Lu Ban 7âs bullets, why are they ineffective when they hit other people?â
âEr⊠youâre sayingâŠâ
âOnce targets are hit by bullets shouldnât they have reduced speed? Wouldnât they fall to the ground and bleed?â
âAs Lu Ban 7 is a robot, even if he is slashed by weapons, itâs perfectly logical if he doesnât die.â
âAs a robot, he can repair himself. Isnât it reasonable for him to heal himself?â
âThese are my opinions. I hope that youâll consider them carefully. If the game becomes more logical, Iâll help promote the new game version.
Matcha was on the sofa typing his last sentence. He retracted his paw and licked the meat pad as he thought, âIâm using Zhao Yaoâs Wechat account to give suggestions. Hope that theyâll consider them seriously. Mobile Legendâs too out of balance. Itâs impossible to play without a proper revision.â
Latte looked in surprise at Matcha as he said, âDad, youâre able to make them revise Mobile Legends?â
âRevising Mobile Legends?â Matcha slapped his cell phone as he said, âThis is Zhao Yaoâs Wechat account. If I type with this paw, Iâll be able to change the world in an instant.
âAh!!!!!!â Latte looked astonished at Matcha as his orange fur stood on end.
Matcha laughed arrogantly as he stroked Latteâs head and said, âDo you realize how powerful your dad is?â
On the other end of the sofa, Lightning tossed around and gazed at Matcha and Latte as he thought, âThat fellowâs sweet-talking his son again. Hmm, New Yearâs boring. I feel like lazing around.â
Old cat was browsing in the group chat when he shouted, âWow, take a look. Someoneâs celebrating Fish Ballâs birthday in Cat Wonderland. Noodles sent out the photographs in the group chat.â
Lightning asked, âCelebrating Fish Ballâs birthday?â
Matcha said, âDidnât he have a birthday last month?â
Old Cat was surprised and said, âWah, a rich female catâs celebrating Fish Ballâs fifth birthday. She wanted to celebrate his first to fifth birthdays and give him gifts for each birthday.â
The surrounding supercats were shocked. Matcha accessed the group chat and scrutinized the pictures and contents.
âHis fifth birthday giftâs 500 000 dollars??â Matcha was feeling jealous. âThe fourth birthday gift was a golden cat litter?!â
His expression became distorted as he shared the contents with his good friend, the Cat King of the West, Li LiâŠ
âI feel much better.â
Old Cat shouted out in shock, âWah! Li Liâs going to Cat Wonderland!â
âWah, she charged into the birthday party!â
âWah! Fish Ballâs leg was fractured!â
As the cats were watching Noodleâs group chat intensely, the room door opened and Roly Poly walked in.
Matcha glared, gritted his teeth and straightened his tail as he shouted, âThis is the territory of the Royal Cat Guards. Why are you here?â
âDonât worry, Iâm not here to look for a fight.â Roly Poly slumped on the sofa and curled up his body. âOh, this yearâs bad. The Royal Cat Police Forceâ annual meeting will be held at the street crossingâs food stalls.â
Matchaâs mind flashed with the images of the cats eating at the food stalls and frowned. âThat bad?â
âOf course!â Roly Poly said, âDo you know how fierce the competition is among the supercats? The aliens cats are coming in throes to work on Earth to repay their debt to Zhao Yao. Jianghaiâs catmint bar, cafe and major companies are all employing alien cats!
Even the alien cats are more popular in the Cat Wonderland! Itâs getting harder for locals to find work!â
Roly Poly sighed. âAn otaku cat like you doesnât understand the hardship of the working cats.â
âErâŠâ Matcha recalled how he survived on the streets with Yellow Mud. âItâs alright. I feel itâs pretty easy to survive on the streets. There are food and drinks every day.â
âDidnât you have the backing of Zhao Yao? Even if you donât work, you could just borrow from the small loan platforms. Would the owners dare to ask you for money?â
âThere arenât any more small loan platformsâŠâ Roly Poly sighed. âBefore Zhao Yao left to fight monsters in other planets, he squeezed dry all the small loans platforms.â
The door was opened again and Dust Ball walked in dejectedly.
âOh, the yearâs bad.â Dust Ball looked at Matcha and said, âMatcha! Help the little kittens. Buy some Dust Ball catmint.â
âCatmintâs not selling?â Matcha was surprised. âAre you sure?â
Dust Ball vented her frustration and said, âWell, with such a high volume, even if the entire Extradimensional Belly was used to get all cats to produce catmint, it would not be sufficient. By using fake products, the quality of catmint drops and there are less customers.â
âI told you that your variety is too limited,â Matcha said. âYou could sell tiger bone medicated catmint next year and promote healthy catmint.â
Dust Ball was surprised. âTiger Bone?â
Matcha said, âOf course itâs fake. Itâs a gimmick, do you understand? As long as it doesnât kill the cats, you can brag that your product cures balding, stomach pain, fur shedding, sterilization and mouth inflammation. You can say that the catmint cures all ailments and promotes longevity.â
Dust Ball asked in doubt, âWhat if weâre exposed?â
Matcha patted his chest and said, âWhatâs there to be afraid of? Iâll use Zhao Yaoâs Wechat to call the police and arrest those who expose us.â
âTiger boneâŠâ Latte said softly. âSalmonâs better. I would like to eat canned salmon.â
âIâll consider it.â Dust Ball nodded while in deep thoughts. She complained, âWell, I have to pay all my supercat workers social security. They donât accept cash and they arenât keen on working. I asked Red Packet to work overtime and he resigned. Now, heâs staying at home daily while collecting rent on 30 housesâŠâ
Matcha was shocked. âRed Packetâs that rich?! How did he do that? 30 houses, he must be enjoying himself.â Matcha started imagining the life of Red Packet.
In a large flat within the city center, Red Packet held an â82 can while he stroked the female cat at his side and smiled. âIn the year of 1982, because of good sunshine, the temperature rose and created warm ocean currents. The sardines were especially excited and the amount of swimming increased. Hence, the sardines were extremely delicious. Try it.â
As Matcha was fantasizing about Red Packetâs lifeâŠ
Elizabeth opened the door and Diana, Caesar and Catherine were behind her.
Matcha said, âWhat happened?â
Elizabeth said angrily, âHumans are foolish animals!â
Diana said, âMy fans were reduced to half the number!! Because Zhao Yao refused to pay taxes! We owed 8 billions in taxes!â
âZhao Yaoâs not paying taxesâŠâ
Matcha said, âScoundrel! How could he do such a thing that goes against the core values of our society?â
He turned his head and looked at the cats as he said, âRemember to pay taxes for the new year! Whoever evades taxes, refuses to obey the countryâs law and societal obligations. Iâll cut down their entire family!â
Catherine said, âNot only do we have this problem, thereâs also the 110 feline girls who stole quite a number of our fans.â
âItâs frustrating!â Caesar slammed his paw on the ground. âThey have ears and breasts. We canât compete with them!â
Elizabeth said dejectedly, âMen are all bad. They like sexy girls.â
âEr?â Latte said softly, âWho can help me open the salmon can?â
The supercats shared their woes and hardships of their new year.
Matcha noticed his Wechat notification.
âZhao Yao, Iâm Xiaoming! Recently the mobile and bicycle rental companies Iâve invested in are having cash flow issues. I got to know a boss who developed electric cars in America. Do you want to invest?â
Matcha remembered he was using Zhao Yaoâs Wechat account, he silently blacklisted Xiao Ming.
The door was knocked open as Milk Tea ran in and said in panic, âBad news! The vaccines that we were injected with are having problems!â
Lightning said, âWhat?!â
Milk Tea said, âTheyâre fake vaccines!â
Matcha said, âThatâs despicable! Theyâre even fooling cats!â
Latte shivered and said, âAre we going for another injection?â
Milk Tea said, âItâs alright, Iâve made arrangements with the veterinarian hospital for another injection after the New Yearâs celebration.â
âYes, itâs good to have the injection after the celebration.â Latte heaved in relief and shouted, âWhoâs helping me to open this can of salmon? I canât open it.â
Hearing about the fake vaccine, the cats were even more sombre.
The door opened with a bang and Bai Quan walked in.
Matcha was indifferent as he said, âWhatâs the problem this timeâŠâ
Bai Quan said to Airplane, âAirplane! Did you force yourself on a female cat when we went to America for a tour?â
âNo⊠I didnâtâŠâ Airplane quickly explained, âShe heard Iâm Zhao Yaoâs cat and she approached me first!â
Bai Quan squinted his eyes and said, âSheâs filing a suit against you. The Americans have an anti-harassment of catsâ movement. If this case blows up, itâll affect Cat Wonderlandâs investments. We have to go to America to attend the court case in the next two days.â
âIf weâve to pay damages, itâll be deducted from your salary.â
âOh, well,â Matcha sighed. âThe days are getting harder.â
âHmm.â Roly Poly said, âEven cat grass and cat medicine are fake. Times are getting unbearable.â
Dust Ball said, âNew Yearâs boring.â
Latte said, âWhoâs going to help me open my can of salmon? Iâm angry!â
A huge hand extended out from the thin air and put an opened can of salmon in front of Latte.
Another palm rested on Matchaâs head and cuddled him vigorously.
âAre you obedient at home?â
Seeing the human figure, the cats rushed forth as their excited meowing filled the entire room.
âZhao Yao!â Matcha scraped against Zhao Yaoâs huge hands. âYouâre back! Arenât you fighting the monsters on the other planets?â
âI had to come back for the New Year.â Zhao Yao smiled as he stroked Elizabethâs chin. Lightning, Roly Poly and Diana came forward and stood on their hind legs. Some rested their paws on Zhao Yaoâs legs and lifted their heads for him to stroke their chins.
Roly Poly said, âZhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Stroke me! Stroke me too!â
Elizabeth said, âZhao Yao! Hug me!â
Diana said, âZhao Yao, Zhao Yao! You havenât combed my fur for a long time!â
The cats stacked onto Zhao Yaoâs body. The sombre mood was lifted in an instant.
Bai Quan sat on the sofa and smiled as he watched the cats surround Zhao Yao.
âAlthough there have been hardships, problems, quarrels and fights, everyone wants to be with their loved ones during the New Year. As long as everyoneâs together, all problems can be solved.â
Zhao Yao surveyed the environment and quivered his ears. He looked at Bai Quan and asked, âWhereâs Zhao Xue and my parents? Theyâre not here?â
âZhao XueâŠâ Cold sweat broke out on Bai Quanâs head as he said with hesitation, âShe brought your parents to Las Vegas for a tourâŠâ
âLas Vegas for a tour?â Zhao Yao scoffed and said, âShe went there to get rich. Who dares to give her money? She even brought our parents to gamble. Sheâs incorrigible.â
Half an hour later, Zhao Xue was pulled out from the Dimension Portal. She knelt on the ground and hugged Zhao Yaoâs leg. âBrother! Your sisterâs poor! Iâm at my witsâ end so I came up with this idea!â
âYour pocket moneyâs 50 000 dollars every month, isnât it enough? When I was your age, Iâm still eating cup noodles. Iâve built up my career and business empire within these few years based on my hard work. Why donât you take a page from me?â
Zhao Xue pondered and transformed into a feline girl. She pointed at her cat ears and said, âIâll let you touch my ears. Donât be angry with me.â
âWhat do you take me for? That Iâll be happy touching your ears?!â Zhao Yao glared at her and scraped her ears playfully. âReflect on your mistakes! Youâll stay at home for half a year!â
Zhao Xue widened her eyes happily. âReally?â
âAnd, no playing with your cell phone.â
Zhao Xueâs face grew red.
Zhao Yaoâs mum walked out and said, âEnough of chiding Zhao Xue. Come and have the reunion dinner. You can chide her after the meal.â
Zhao Xueâs face grew red.
Milk Tea helped to serve the cat meals. âReunion dinner!â
The cats rushed to the dining table, together with Zhao Yaoâs parents, Zhao Xue, Zhao Yao and Bai Quan.
Matcha binged on his cat meal and wagged his tail. âTodayâs cat meal is delicious!â
Zhao Yao said, âIndeed, Iâve added some alien materials from the Long Fur Tribe. The cats there liked it too.â
Mango dragged his meal bowl over and scraped his head against Zhao Yaoâs ankle before squatting down underneath Zhao Yaoâs leg to eat.
Latte said, âWah! It tastes as delicious as my cans of salmon!â
Milk Tea said, âLatte! Donât gobble your food that fast! Remember how you vomited out the food last time!â
Elizabeth chewed on her meal and thought, âThe mealâs especially fragrant.â
Fish Ball opened the door and climbed in warily.
Ares said, âOh, Fish Ball, youâre here. Isnât your leg broken?â
âOf course itâs fake.â Fish Ball said, âIâll join you for this yearâs reunion dinner.â
Lightning greeted him and said, âCome, Fish Ball, sit over here and join us for the meal!â
Dust Ball scoffed and said, âHumph, scumbag.â
âHello, Xiao Yu?â Zhao Yao picked up the cell phone and glanced at Fish Ball as he nodded. âHmm, itâs alright. Heâs here. Iâll pay you a visit in the next two days. Happy New Year.â
After Zhao Yao hung up the phone, when everyone was enjoying their meal, Zhao Yao smiled and raised his tea cup. âEveryone, Happy New Year!â
