Chapter 111: You Jump, I Jump
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Every time Zhao Yao activated his power of extradimensional belly; there was a fifty percent chance of failing due to Dust Ball’s loyalty points. Because of this, he had to spend two times the amount of time he usually spent on training his control over ability.
However, his mastery over this ability had improved remarkably after spending two hours on it.
He had developed a general sensing towards the situation within the dimension inside his belly. He could roughly gauge the position of the object he had absorbed into his extradimensional belly.
It was not perceived by a sense of sight but rather a sense of touch. He felt as if objects were rolling around in his stomach.
“Hmm, this is a good sign. I’ll be able to master this ability if I keep up with my training.”
Even though he had not mastered the ability then, Zhao Yao was hopeful that there would be a day where he could expel whatever object he specified from his belly.
“However, the success rate for activating the ability depends on ...”
He immediately took out the catmint from a small bag and exclaimed, “Dust Ball!”
The tiny black cat seemingly teleported right in front of Zhao Yao. This was the first time Dust Ball had responded to Zhao Yao’s call so enthusiastically.
Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief as Dust Ball stared at the catmint in his hand with her longing eyes. Thank goodness, catmint did not have any side effects on Dust Ball’s health.
Zhao Yao threw the catmint towards Dust Ball, and she pounced onto the catmint and started licking it and sniffing it. Happiness flowed through Dust Ball, warming her skin like the rays of an early summer sun. Zhao Yao reached out his hand to massage her head. Dust Ball showed no signs of retaliation and instead shut her eyes, basking in it.
Suddenly, Dust Ball’s eye rolled back, and she began to drool uncontrollably in Zhao Yao’s arms.
Dust Ball’s loyalty increased by 1 point.
Seeing that Dust Ball was so obedient today, Zhao Yao decided to use her for his daily mission.
While Zhao Yao was happily playing with Dust Ball, a strange scream erupted in his ears. Even the supercats heard the unearthly scream.
It sounded like someone was crying and the person sounded miserable. It was a little similar to a baby’s cry for his mother.
You would have easily mistaken it for a baby’s cry if this was the first time you had heard it. However, Zhao Yao knew that this was a cat’s scream.
There were many classifications of a cat’s scream. They could be categorized as mating calls, regular scream or even when it was bemoaning. Most of the time, cats screamed over insignificant things, but it sounded as if their entire family had died in a war or something.
This time, the culprit behind the scream was Elizabeth which was watching a movie.
Matcha descended from his massage throne to take a look at what happened. He asked Elizabeth curiously, “What happened? Why are you crying? Did you lose at Mobile Legends?”
Roly Poly also went forward and expressed his concern, “Are you hungry?”
However, Zhao Yao already an idea as to what had caused her scream. He slowly walked to Elizabeth and saw the iconic scene where Jack and Rose were bidding farewell.
“I’ll never let go. I’ll never let go, Jack.”
Elizabeth burst into screams when she saw Jack slowly shut his eyes in the water. Elizabeth sounded like someone had chopped off her paws.
“Boohoo!”
This was the difference between the way animals and humans expressed their sorrows. Animals would not break down in tears but would instead express her sorrow through screaming. At most, their eyeballs would turn watery but never to the extent of crying.
That was the exact behavior Elizabeth had exhibited. She screamed louder and louder as she saw Jack lying motionless in the sea.
Meanwhile, in a corner where no one noticed stood spirit cat whose face was drenched in tears. Because it was in its spirit form and it had no flesh to it, it managed to express its sorrow through tears just like humans. Its tears were gushing out like a waterfall before disappearing into the surrounding.
“Boohoo, why did Jack have to die?”
“Boohoo, why can’t Jack and Rose be together?”
Scenes depicting the interaction between Jack and Rose flashed across spirit cat’s head as it recalled the final scene where Jack sacrificed his life to save the love of his life. This separation reminded it of how its mother died in front of it when it was a kitten.
Zhao Yao was at a loss for what to do when he saw how devastated Elizabeth was. He went forward to pat Elizabeth on her head and comforted her, “It’s okay, this is just a story. Everything is fake, don’t cry.”
Elizabeth buried her head in Zhao Yao’s chest and screamed, “But Jack and Rose were in love, why can’t they be together forever?”
Zhao Yao just laughed awkwardly and said, “This is all fake. In fact, Jack and Rose are both still alive.”
“Really?” Elizabeth’s scream stopped instantly as she raised her head and looked at Zhao Yao.
Spirit cat, which was at a corner of the apartment, also fixed its gaze on Zhao Yao.
“Of course,” Zhao Yao borrowed the phone from Elizabeth and said, “Jack had grown into a man with a beer belly.”
He googled images of Leonardo DiCaprio and showed Elizabeth.
It was a photo where Leonardo DiCaprio was half naked and had a full beard on.
“You see,” Zhao Yao lay the phone in front of Elizabeth and continued, “This is his most recent photo.”
Both spirit cat and Elizabeth huddled together to take a look at the photo. Elizabeth was stunned to see this fat man which Zhao Yao claimed to be Jack.
“No, how can this be Jack.” Elizabeth swiped the phone off the sofa and replied coolly, “Jack had already died; he is at the bottom of the sea.”
Spirit cat chased after the phone and heaved a sigh of relief when it saw the picture, “Thank goodness Jack is alive. I’m quite curious to know if they got married and whether they had any kids.” Spirit cat smiled and thought, “If only I could see them in real life.”
Spirit cat was like a kid who had just watched the first move in his life; it still could not differentiate between reality and fantasy.
Again, spirit cat snapped out of it.
“Wait, why am I interested in someone else’s affair?” Spirit cat floated a few step backward as it stared at the phone with fear, “This phone is scary. No wonder Ho Hao Cong only allowed us to use it for voice messaging and nothing else. This is truly a devil’s tool. It had influenced my mind bit by bit.”
Spirit cat’s ability to confuse and influence an individual’s personality and behavior required it to spend a long time with the target as in the case with Granny Xiao. However, Titanic made spirit cat cry and laugh over a stranger within just three hours.
“This is frightening; I must never lay my eyes on this phone again.” While spirit cat was still settling its resolution, Zhao Yao patted Elizabeth on her head and said, “Elizabeth, stop thinking about Titanic. I’ll introduce you to another drama series instead.”
“I don’t want. Jack is dead. I don’t want to watch any drama series or movies ever.”
