Chapter 242: Owe Money Pay Money!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Liu Yun did not hesitate to ask Zhao Yao for help when she heard his offer and asked, “Could you kindly help me get this Serval down? She has been up there for an entire day. I’m afraid her body would not be able to take it if she continued staying there. I’ve tried getting people to get her down but somehow, her reaction was just very violent.”
Zhao Yao suppressed his snigger and thought, “Even I wouldn’t dare to come down after committing such a grave mistake.”
As Liu Yun’s voice rang in Zhao Yao’s head, changes had also been made to his mission panel.
Mission: Rescue the kitten from the top of the tree.
Objective: Bring the kitten down.
Reward: 50 experience points
Punishment: Nil
With a wide grin on his face, Zhao Yao immediately accepted the mission with no hesitation. Suddenly, he just disappeared from her sight, leaving his voice ringing in her head, “Wait for me, I’ll bring the cat down now.”
Zhao Yao readied himself by standing on the lowest lying branch. With his power of ‘Three is better than two’, his body coordination and agility had far surpassed tigers and even cheetahs. He began climbing the tree as if it was a flight of stairs. Soon, he was just three meters from the Serval.
Roly Poly clutched onto Zhao Yao’s body with all his might. His heart was in his throat throughout the entire ascent. Whenever he took a glance downwards, his heart would drum so loudly that he couldn’t even hear anything else. Roly Poly’s breath shook as he pleaded with Zhao Yao, “Zhao Yao, I’m very scared. Can we go down now?”
“Do not worry.” Zhao Yao gave a gentle pat on the back of his head and comforted him by saying, “You are a cat. You wouldn’t even die if you fall from here. At most, you’ll only be a crippled cat.”
Roly Poly’s fear was temporarily replaced by annoyance as he shouted in his head, “How do you even call that comforting?”
Zhao Yao let out a wide grin as he came face to face with the cat. However, he did not immediately reveal himself. When faced with Liu Yun, he used an image of Daniel Wu to gain her trust. Likewise, he would adopt a similar method to earn the Serval’s trust.
Following the activation of Zhao Yao’s illusion, an orange cat with a pair of snow-white paws appeared in front of her. It was created in the image of Matcha in mind.
The Serval whispered with her child-like voice, “Who are you?”
“I am King George, the cat king of Jiangmen University. Hey kid, do you need my help?”
Seeing that the cat was a fellow supercat, the Serval kitten instantly put her guards down and explained as she tried her best to suppress her sobbing, “I spent all of Liu Yun’s money! I’m sure she would hate me to the core!”
Zhao Yao (disguised as Matcha) asked, “Oh, how much did you spend?”
“RMB 1,000.”
“Oh...” Zhao Yao began coughing incessantly and thought that he had heard wrong. He tried confirming with the Serval again, “Can you repeat what you just said?”
The Serval’s face turned crimson as she whispered into his ears, “...RMB 100,000...”
“How did you spend all that money?” Zhao Yao’s temple throbbed with rage as he retorted, “You are still a kitten and you have already spent RMB 100,000? Do you know how much cat food, canned food that money can buy? Do you know how long it takes to save that amount of money? You are just a spoilt brat! A prodigal!”
“I’m so sorry.” The Serval collapsed against the branch. Her forehead furrowed together and she seemed deeply remorseful for her actions as she explained, “It’s all my fault!I deserve to die!” As she spoke, she had already gotten to her feet and was on the verge of jumping down.
“Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!” Zhao Yao pressed his paw against her body and stopped her from committing suicide. He coaxed her by saying, “RMB 100,000 might seem like an astronomical figure. However, it’s a problem that can be solved.”
“Really?” The Serval’s eyes glittered with excitement as she stared enthusiastically at Zhao Yao, “Can you really help me? This money was originally reserved for her mother’s medical bills. She really cannot do without this money.”
Immediately, new changes were reflected in the contents of the mission panel.
Mission: Give her a chance! She is just a kid!
Objective: Help solve the Serval’s debt problem.
Reward: 100 experience points earned for every RMB 50,000 returned.
Punishment: Nil
“RMB 100,000 ...” Zhao Yao was still in disbelief as he continued staring at the number dumbfoundedly. He commented, “You really know how to spend money, don’t you? Where did you spend all these money on?’
“Live... Live streaming channel.” The Serval was so embarrassed that she buried her head in her chest. She did not even dare to make eye contact with Zhao Yao. She explained, “I have no idea how it happened. Initially, I just wanted to use her phone to watch the channels for fun. However, something just went into my head and I began transferring money, money and more money to the channel. Normally, I wouldn’t even spend a single cent on these channels. I had no idea what had happened.”
“Live stream?” Zhao Yao propped his chin on his palm and started deliberating. He skimmed through the contents of his mission panel and muttered, “Is it worth it to buy 250*2 experience points using RMB 100,000?”
He was still deep in thought when he raised his head to the pair of innocent-looking eyes. He could not help but replied, “Alright, I’ll help you with this RMB 100,000. Later, we’ll transfer the money to her mom. However, you must follow me down.”
Meanwhile, Roly Poly which was eavesdropping on the conversation was writhing in pain as he shouted at Zhao Yao telepathically, “Zhao Yao, do not be rash! We are talking about RMB 100,000. That is enough to buy 10,000 Matchas, 30 Mangos, and even 10 Elizabeths!”
Zhao Yao stared at Roly Poly with a face of conviction and waved his hand before saying, “I have already set my mind on it.”
The Serval stared at this orange cat and was swooned over by his manly behavior when he shot down Roly Poly’s suggestion.
She thought, “This orange cat is so handsome and cool!”
With the Serval in his arms, Zhao Yao returned and was greeted by a beaming Liu Yun. He had thought about it but still decided to break the news to her, “This silly cat accidentally spent RMB 100,000 while watching live streams.”
“Huh?” Liu Yun’s jaw went slack as she stared blankly at Zhao Yao and the Serval. She could not believe her ears.
The Serval instantly jumped into her arms and started sobbing, “I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry ...”
Zhao Yao took a look at her uniform and could not help but feel sorry for her. Hence, he continued, “However, you don’t have to worry. I have already helped you get back the money. You just have to give me your bank account and I’ll transfer it to you later.”
“Really?” Liu Yun’s eyes were already welled with tears when she heard the news. Now, her eyes shone with excitement as she exclaimed, “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Five minutes later, Zhao Yao left Jiangmen Zoo with a mixture of happiness and sadness. On one hand, he had completed two missions and had earned 250*2 experience points consequently. Now, his BOOK read: lv4(1128/5000)
However, the best thing that happened wasn’t the experience points received, it was understanding the fact that he could receive missions from other supercats.
“Previously, my daily mission only required me to go down for a walk around the block. Now, I guess I have to go around and search for supercats and apostles.”
Zhao Yao could not help but chuckled when he thought about the experience received and how he had acquired a new method to earn more experience points.
However, his mood plummeted when he thought of the RMB 100,000. It literally felt as if he had cut a piece of him away and gave it to someone else.
“D*mn it, I need to find out who is that guy going around cheating cat’s money.” Zhao Yao immediately tapped on the live-stream application when he got home. Before leaving, he had asked the Serval which channel she had watched previously.
Based on her reply, it was a channel named Big White Meow. However, the channel was currently just a black screen. Evidently, it had not started streaming yet. Based on the information provided, Zhao Yao had gathered that it was a channel about an old white cat which had garnered over 100,000 subscribers.
A thought flashed through his head as Zhao Yao read the description, “Maybe this has something to do with a supercat?” Zhao Yao tapped on the follow button and couldn’t wait for the streamer’s return.
After one long day of missions, Zhao Yao instantly collapsed onto one of the couches in the café.
Within the cage in the far corner of the café, the stray cats were no longer as timid as when they first arrived after Elizabeth’s teaching. All of them sat obediently in the cage as they turned their heads around to observe their new surroundings.
When the café closed for the day, Zhao Yao brought Baiquan, Hanako, Elizabeth, Rice Cake, and Mango back home. Then, he proceeded to the dugout with Roly Poly and Matcha in his arms.
Today was the day he promised his sister that he would meet her and gave her some pointers on how to properly utilize her superpowers.
