Chapter 728: The Threat And Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing Zhao Yao amputate his own hand, Promise was dumbstruck. Zhao Yao picked up the amputated hand and put it back.

The wound healed immediately and Promise thought, “Ultra Rapid Regeneration? That is why the poison is ineffective against him. So he had this ability all along? The King of Death didn’t inform us? Or he was in the dark too?”

Zhao Yao did not show any signs of pain and Promise thought, “Doesn’t he feel pain?” Ultra Rapid Regeneration was rare, however, Lucifer was not the only cat to have such ability. Promise had heard of such an ability before, however, she had never heard of anyone amputating themselves for fun using this ability.

Promise shook her head. “He is a lunatic but doesn’t he feel pain…”

Zhao Yao gazed at Promise and Black Tiger and said, “Are the two of you apostles? If you do not cooperate, I will lend you the Ultra Rapid Regeneration ability and cut off your hands and legs for fun.”

Two of them trembled. Even with Ultra Rapid Regeneration, they did not possess the mental strength and the willpower to go through amputations of their body parts.

While they were hesitating, the men behind them already volunteered to help Zhao Yao.

Black Tiger and Promise finally yielded and agreed to help Zhao Yao capture the remaining apostles and give him both money and cats.

Promise spat out a domestic tabby who trembled while looking at Zhao Yao. He was the supercat that possessed the Ark superpower. Roly Poly grabbed him immediately to one side for a chat.

Black Tiger and Promise made phone calls and transferred money to Zhao Yao, who collected a handsome sum, captured the remaining apostles, and gained the experience points.

After the hectic work, it was already late at night.

Zhao Yao laid comfortably on the sofa of the Extradimensional Belly. His face showed contentment as he cuddled Lucifer and stared at the Mission Panel.

The two Ivory missions were completed. He captured 1042 apostles, each worth 10 experience points. Hence he obtained a total of 10 420 experience points.

As for protecting the commoners and avoiding eye witnesses, Zhao Yao already tried his best. However, during the hotel battle, especially the battle between Sphynx cat and Promise, the building was damaged and three commoners were injured hence 15 experience points were deducted and he received a total of 9970 experience points.

The grand total was 30 810 experience points, the largest haul so far.

BOOK: Level 6 (57452/20000)

Matcha: Level 8 (5910/50000)

Elizabeth: Level 9 (700/100000)

Dust Ball: Level 8 (27755/50000)

Ares: Level 7 (5900/20000)

Lucifer: Level 7(0/20000)

Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (0/20000)

“The supercats are able to advance their levels. I have to consider carefully which supercat to upgrade.” Zhao Yao stroked his chin and his cell phone rang. He received a message from Uncle Ho asking him if he had sent the apostles to the police station.

Zhao Yao didn’t release any of the apostles of the three armies. After emptying them of 1 billion dollars, he erased their memories before sending them to the police station.

Because the supercat responsible for the superpower of the Virtual-Spirit Army was not found, Zhao Yao had to wait 24 hours before sending them to the police station.

The Ivory missions were a bumper harvest in terms of money, cats, and experience points.

“I have yet to deal with King of Death.” Zhao Yao thought, “I have to discuss with him.”

As he was contemplating, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, and Matcha had surrounded him, looking at him in anticipation.

Roly Poly thought, “I hope he hasn’t forgotten about the rewards? I have done a lot today.”

Elizabeth thought, “I have accomplished great feats today. Why hasn’t Zhao Yao commended me?”

Dust Ball thought, “Humph, a bunch of useless cats. Without my Dimension Portal, all of you would be dead.”

Sphynx cat glanced at Zhao Yao from afar as he thought, “Well, my issue, Zhao Yao is unable to solve it too…”

Milk Tea was behind Matcha as he looked eagerly at Zhao Yao. He was puzzled and asked Matcha, “Brother Matcha, what are we doing?”

Matcha replied, “We are asking for rewards. Didn’t you see that we just won a battle? How can there be no rewards after winning? Zhao Yao has to give out money and presents.”

Milk Tea said bewilderedly, “But we didn’t do anything.”

Matcha said in the tone of an experienced hand, “You are very young Milk Tea. Who set the rule that you can’t get money without any work? You will get money whether you work or not. This is called fairness.”

Milk Tea asked befuddled, “Really?”

“Of course.” Matcha said seriously, “This technique is called the kitten that meows gets to eat the canned food. If you ask with initiative, humans will give things to you. This is my hard-earned experience over the past three years. You have to remember it.”

Milk Tea nodded earnestly. “I will remember, Brother Matcha.” He opened his eyes widely and fixed his gaze on Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao looked at the supercats and smiled as he said, “Everyone’s performance was very good. It was tough on you. Bai Quan, are you ready?”

Bai Quan served a large plate of beef steak, salmon, fish roe, and other delicacies. The supercats looked at the food and drooled.

“Everyone, enjoy to your heart’s content. And you Roly Poly.” Zhao Yao took out a fried chicken drumstick and cut a small piece for Roly Poly. “I will let you taste a bit of fried chicken. I will reward you with some money later.”

Roly Poly held the fried chicken piece in his hands. He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

Elizabeth was on the side, thinking, “This fried chicken… looks like an illusion…”

Zhao Yao looked at Elizabeth and said, “Elizabeth, you have worked hard today. You are a powerful and beautiful cat.” He stroked Elizabeth’s head and said, “I will reward you with money later.”

Elizabeth pushed out her chest proudly and curled her tail high up with pride.

While Dust Ball was feeling perplexed, Zhao Yao caressed her head and said, “Dust Ball, you have accomplished great feats today, excellent. Bai Quan will get you some catmint ice cream later.”

Dust Ball licked her lips happily as Zhao Yao looked at Catherine and said, “Catherine, you have done well too, tell me what present you want later.”

Matcha was getting impatient as everyone had their rewards except him. He curled up his tail and rubbed Zhao Yao’s legs.

Zhao Yao kicked him aside and said, “Don’t rub. These are a new pair of pants. You have dirtied them with cat fur.”

Matcha meowed to show his grievances. He said in private, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, what about me? I worked hard to encourage everyone.”

Zhao Yao hesitated for a while and cuddled Matcha’s head. “Tonight, you may sleep on my pillow.”

Chapter 729: Respite

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Matcha curled up his front paws while sprawled on the pillow with his face full of grievances.

“Disgusting, everyone was rewarded with food and money and my reward was to sleep on this pillow.”

Seeing the snoring Zhao Yao, Matcha placed his paw on his head and flicked out his sharp claws. “Humph, if I use my strength now, I will be able to kill Zhao Yao and dominate the Cat Nation.”

Laying his claws on Zhao Yao’s head, Matcha shook his head and retracted his claws. “Forget it. I will let you off today.”

Within a short while, Matcha tossed on the pillow, his four limbs holding onto Zhao Yao’s head and snoring loudly.

The next day, Zhao Yao opened his eyes, found Matcha all over his head and tossed him out. Matcha meowed and stood up with a face of sorrow gazing at him.

Zhao Yao stroked his head and said angrily, “Now I know the reason why I had nightmares of my head being hammered.” He got up while yawning and remembered his to-do-list—find the King of Death and deal with the Ivory issue.

He brushed his teeth while thinking, “The best scenario is that the King of Death disbands what is left of Ivory and dissociates himself from all the puppets. Although he has turned over a new leaf, it is still difficult for him to give himself up. Moreover, with the disassociation from the puppets, he will not be subjected to the effects of illusion. Will he revert to his old ways?”

Zhao Yao thought very hard but could not come up with a perfect solution. As the King of Death was associated with hundreds of thousands of people, Zhao Yao’s various tactics were not feasible. If he accidentally destroyed their awareness, the consequences would be irreversible.

Zhao Yao shook his head. “Ivory is completely destroyed and the King of Death should realize by now that he is no match for me. If he is not willing to comply, I will have to destroy him. Time is on our side. Even if he raises another army, he is still no match for me.”

After making a decision, Zhao Yao looked for the King of Death but discovered that the building was already vacant. He and his men were nowhere to be found.

While Zhao Yao was feeling surprised, Uncle Ho called and he told him that Ivory was completely disbanded. The Iron Army was handed over to the government and the King of Death’s assets were surrendered to the country. After disassociation with all the puppets, the King of Death disappeared without a trace.

For the next few days, Uncle Ho and his men were busy tying up the loose ends of Ivory. More than a few hundreds of thousands of commoners were controlled by the King of Death for about two years. Within the next few days, it made shocking headlines in the major newspapers of the world.

There were a lot of loose ends to tie up, including management of public opinion. The Iron Army was a ticking time bomb. Although the King of Death had provided all information, a large number of workers were required to understand the information and retrieve all resources of the Iron Army.

However, Zhao Yao was not concerned with all of this. He returned happily to Jianghai and resumed his carefree and decadent days.

…

In the state of Maine in United States.

In a laboratory, an apostle yelled loudly. His body hair grew rapidly. In a blink of an eye, his entire body was covered in thick layers of hair, looking like a Yeti.

The Professor looked at the apostle and asked in astonishment, “Has he grown stronger? How much of improvement is that when compared to existing data?”

The assistant said, “The length has grown by 30%, the speed by 15%. The amount increased by at most 125%. This is incredible. According to normal standards, the superpower to control fur growth is only able to achieve the same results after three years of daily activation.”

The Professor’s breath quickened as he said, “Repeat the experiment one more time and activate all the monitoring equipment.” It was too incredible that the apostle’s superpower could be boosted to such level within a short period of time.

If there was that much boosting of the superpower to control fur growth, what would the effect be on Robot Fusion, Gravitation Control, Rapid Regeneration, Super Strength, Super Speed, and other superpowers?

“If we can understand the cause… No, there is no need to research the cause. If we are able to lend Project X’s superpower to the apostles in the Army, their fighting capability will be boosted by many times.”

The Professor’s eyes glinted. The value of Project X was far greater than what he had imagined.

A few hours later, the Professor studied the report of the experiment results and looked at Project X, his gaze becoming more insightful.

Any apostles within a three meter range of Project X would have their superpowers boosted significantly.

“Just like a domain.” The Professor shook his head, walked to the single-sided glass, and observed Project X who was reading a book.

During the entire experiment process, Project X was sitting on the table reading the comic book. There were no signs of activation of a superpower.

The Professor asked, “Is there any energy consumption?”

“According to the body statistics, there are no abnormal changes.” The assistant said, “His ability is like a constant passive effect.”

Project X closed his comic book and asked, “Hey? Can you send in a new batch of books? I have read through these books many times.”

“Uh? Really?” The Professor walked up and conversed with Project X, “What do you want to read?” He received from the assistant a copy of the psychological profile report, which was compiled by a few psychologists who studied his data and condition.

The Professor scanned through the report that said: “… Simple and mild mannered… Curious about the outside world… Harmless…”

Project X said, “Any books will do. It’s better if they are wordy so they will take me longer to read.”

The Professor nodded, shut off the microphone and said to the assistant, “Send him some fantasy novels.” After pondering, he could not resist asking, “Project X, are you able to boost the abilities of supercats?”

Project X casually nodded as he flipped open a comic book. He said calmly, “Yes, of course and the effect is even better. The boosted superpowers can be lent as per usual.”

“Wait, what did you say?” The Professor exclaimed, “You are able to boost supercats’ superpowers before they lend them?”

Project X lowered his head and shielded his face with the comic book revealing a hidden smile. He spoke in a serene tone, “Yes, that is so.” He lifted his head and looked blankly at the Professor, “Why? Is there a problem?”
