Chapter 984: Half A Year Later

After Zhao Yao appeared on the live streams for the past few days, information and news about him were rife on the internet and he became the hottest celebrity in the world.

With full exposure of superpowers, a few countries and external influence made use of the chance to feed the masses with more superpower news, making it the hottest topic on the internet for a few months.

There were countless daily visitors to Zhao Yao’s previous home, company, and school to take pictures.

“Everyone please queue up. Take pictures one at a time. Do not be impatient… This is Zhao Yao’s initial company where he deleted the database. I don’t have proof because he used his superpower to commit the crime.”

At a news conference, a group of reporters took pictures of Nessie continuously.

“Let me tell you, when I first met Zhao Yao, I knew he was extraordinary.” Nessie picked up a book and said, “The details of how I fought with Zhao Yao can be found in my book that I wrote in prison. Please buy my book ‘Life’s Circumstances’.”

Xiao Ming stood outside his African factory and spoke into his cellphone completely exhilarated.

“Er… you’re investing in my factory? Yes, I owed Zhao Yao tens of millions of dollars. Zhao Yao invested tens of millions in my factory. Half of my shares belonged to him…”

Xiao Ming was moved as he said, “You’re thinking of investing? Great… we’re very close. If not, why would he invest tens of millions? That’s tens of millions, even parents would fall out with me over these sums. Do you know how close I am with Zhao Yao?”

At the entrance of a high school, a man approached Xiao Yu and said, “You must be Zhao Yao’s aunt, Miss Yu?”

“What a young aunt?” A burly man said in surprise, “You must have the superpower of becoming youthful? Your real self must be a great beauty.”

Xiao Yu was getting impatient and wanted to chase him away. She narrowed her eyes and said in astonishment, “You managed to see through that?”

With the rise of Zhao Yao’s influence, the enterprise that he was developing progressed rapidly in a few months.

Before long, the catmint prohibition was extended to the entire country and Dust Ball Catmint became the only official catmint. Dust Ball Catmint started selling in many cities.

Zhao Yao bought an entire street which was next to Cat Wonderland on loan. The street developed and expanded.

Most of his business was handed to Bai Quan. Zhao Yao spent most of his time researching Closers World.

…

Half a year later, in a small and poor county in China.

A girl skipped and bounced as she approached a newly opened cafe.

The renovated cafe was situated on a dilapidated street and looked outstanding amidst the surrounding worn out shops.

After opening the cafe door, the lass saw an unhappy orange cat squatting by the entrance, waiting for her.

The lass lowered her head apologetically and clasped both her hands. “Sorry! Sorry! I’m late because the alarm on my cell phone didn’t ring!” She opened her eyes and surveyed the deep end of the cafe. “Is boss here?”

A youth, who had pale face and dark eye circles, was resting on a reclining chair. He squinted his eyes as the sun shone on his body, making him look lazy.

He looked as though he was an old cat sunbathing in a courtyard.

The orange cat shook his head and pointed to the kitchen. Ning Ning hurried to the kitchen to prepare the cat’s breakfast.

She cooked the cat meal using fresh ingredients she prepared yesterday as she sized up the youth. She thought, “He has dark eye circles, he must have slept late…”

The boss of the cafe gave her a mysterious and weird feeling.

For example, the cafe was built overnight. It was a common convenience store the day before the opening of the cafe.

The boss rested sickly on the chair daily and he didn’t greet customers.

The boss also looked familiar but she could not recall why.

Cats would appear and vanish in the cafe mysteriously. Ning Ning did not know how many cats the boss kept. She only knew there were no cats in sight except during meal times. Then, she would be surrounded by various cats.

“The boss must be an apostle. The cats felt like supercats.” Ning Ning thought excitedly, “Perhaps they can help me after I become friends with them?”

Matcha sat in front of Ning Ning and scoffed, “She has a silly look. This foolish girl’s my worst employee.”

Latte hugged his head as he walked over. Half a year had passed and his body was half of Matcha’s size. He looked like Matcha that had been starved for a week.

Latte fixed his gaze on Ning Ning’s cat meals. He wiped off the saliva from the corners of his lips and said, “Meal time? Is it our meal time?”

Matcha said, “Silly cat, we’re not eating salmon today.”

“Don’t call me silly cat. My IQ test score is 90!” Latte slapped his paws in anger. Ever since Milk Tea exposed their pretending to be sick, Matcha had been calling him silly and he hated it.

He had an IQ of 90, how could he be a silly cat?

Matcha said, “You only have three days’ worth of memory. How could you not be silly?”

“Nonsense! I can remember more. Test me if you don’t believe!”

Matcha asked, “What did you have for Sunday’s dinner?”

“I… last week…” Latte bit his paw pad as he tried to recall the answer. His confidence was shaken. “Am I really a silly cat? My IQ is 90.”

Matcha said, “It’s alright if you can’t remember. A lot of cats were unable to recall what they ate a few days before…”

Latte sat at one side and heaved in relief. Matcha said, “From the next month onwards, Zhao Yao will set up a monthly test. Cats who fail the tests will have deductions from their salary and bonus, in addition to remedial class…”

“What!” Latte said furiously, “Do I have to go for tests? Remedial class too? That’s unreasonable! It’s cat torture!”

When he thought about Zhao Yao, Latte was discouraged and he sighed in resignation. He felt that the world was cruel even though he was less than a year old. His IQ of 90 was not good enough for him to survive.
