Chapter 163: Massage and Sterilization
Chapter 163: Massage and Sterilization
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“This is a café!” Zhao Yao replied with a hint of annoyance in his voice, “What do you take this place for? A massage here would cost RMB 500!”
“RMB 500 is really too expensive. Can I get tax exemption since I’m a government official?”
“Do you think we will dare to offer massage services if you weren’t a government official?” Zhao Yao answered with a visible look of contempt on his face.
Inspector Ho replied with his lips pouted together, “I’m doing this for my own good! I wouldn’t waste my money on it if not for my health.”
“You should just blame it on your poor health then! I suggest you should get some medicine from the pharmacy instead.”
Inspector Ho nodded his head and replied, “Zhao Yao, you are still too young to understand your position in society.”
“Understand what?”
“Zhao Yao you have to understand these simple universal truths. We, men, are only strong in our early 20s and 30s. Once we hit the 40s, our health will deteriorate and will not be the person that we once were,” Inspector Ho continued with the frown on his face, “Wait till you reach my age. Your body will tremble in fear when your wife rolls over on the bed.”
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and replied, “How about I relay all that you have said to your wife?”
“I do not have a wife.”
Zhao Yao was left speechless by his response and retorted, “Then you are in no position to say what you have just said!”
Inspector Ho continued, “Even though I’m not married, I have a wealth of life experiences. I understand the intricacies of the relationship between a man and a woman.”
“Aren’t you a police?”
“Hmm, I used to be in charge of the illegal prostitution department in my office when I was younger,” Inspector Ho replied as he reminisced the old times, “It was an interesting experience.”
Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust and glanced at Rice Cake which continued to sleep despite their conversations.
He had already coated Rice Cake with his illusion long before Inspector Ho stepped foot into the café. He did not want Rice Cake to attract any unwanted attention.
“It seems like I’ll have to disguise Rice Cake as a beige Scottish Fold whenever I bring her over to the café.” Zhao Yao thought with his lips tightly pressed together.
“Oh yes! Have you sterilized the cats in your café?”
Zhao Yao was stunned by Inspector Ho’s seemingly random question and answered, “Why?”
Inspector Ho replied, “Don’t you know that supercats will lose their superpower the moment they are sterilized?”
Zhao Yao was shocked by Inspector Ho’s revelations. He thought, “I didn’t know about this! Thank goodness I did not bring Mango for sterilization, if not he would have lost his power. Actually, it might be a good thing if Mango lost his power. LOL!”
...
Time flew, and it was about time for them to close for the day. Zhao Yao stared at his computer screen before he twisted his body to the left and right for a gentle stretch. He concluded, “It’s finally time to return home after one day of hard work!”
Matcha who was also resting on his lap went on his feet and began arching his back to stretch his body. He thought, “What a tough day at work!”
Elizabeth rolled her eyes at the pair of lazy cat and human, “How tiring is it for you to sit on Zhao Yao’s lap and stare at his computer screen for an entire afternoon!”
“Elizabeth, it is extremely tiring!” Matcha instantly leaped out of Zhao Yao’s laps and pranced towards Elizabeth, “Look! My neck is very sore from the entire afternoon of gaming! Can you be a nice cat and give me a massage?”
“Get lost.”
“Elizabeth, your fur seems to be longer and more beautiful than ever!”
Elizabeth’s expression instantly turned from one which was filled with contempt to one that was bursting in excitement and started licking the fur on her body, “Oh, really? You flatter me! It must be because of the Lecithin that Zhao Yao has been feeding me with!”
Meanwhile ...
“You do not deserve to be tired!” Shi Yu who stood behind Zhao Yao stared at him with a look of disgust, “You just spent the entire afternoon playing your computer games! Is this what the owner of the café is supposed to be doing?”
“Hey, Shi Yu!” Zhao Yao turned around to her with his brows knitted together, “Your face seems smaller than before!”
“Oh really?” Shi Yu immediately took out her phone and stared at her reflection in excitement, “Is the exercise working?”
“It’s really effective!” Zhao Yao replied, “Back in college, I would give you a rating of 95. Now, it’s easily a 98!”
“Don’t think you can distract me from what I wanted to say!” Shi Yu finally reacted to the situation and continued, “There are too many customers for Baiquan and me to handle alone. We simply cannot cope with the number of customers we are receiving!”
Baiquan immediately nodded his head in agreement and said, “We have to prepare the beverage, take care of the cats, tend to the customers’ orders, clean the toilet, wash the cups and even clean the tables! With at least 30 or 40 customers entering our café every day, the 2 of us really cannot manage the crowd here!”
“An additional employee will make it even harder for me to keep the supercat’s existence a secret. Furthermore, it will inevitably increase my overhead cost which would not be ideal for my monthly missions.”
“How about this, I’ll be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the café! I’ll clean the floor, table, chair, etc.”
Shi Yu glanced at Zhao Yao and asked, “Are you sure you are capable of that?”
Zhao Yao just replied with a mysterious smile. He had decided to utilize Elizabeth’s illusion to conceal his presence before he started using his extradimensional belly to absorb the dust, grime, and dirt from the café. This would make cleaning so much easier and would lighten Shi Yu and Baiquan’s workload!”
After cleaning up the café, Zhao Yao then brought the supercats and Baiquan back to his apartment.
As usual, he was lazing on his couch and scrolling through the news feed on his WeChat. Suddenly, he noticed that a new id “Princess Qian” had been added to the supercats’ WeChat group.
Leopard Head replied excitedly, “Can the newcomer please post a photo of yourself?”
No. 1 Dried Fish Fan continued, “If you’re too shy to share your photo, please report your species, age, color, and weight!”
Suddenly, the WeChat group was bombarded with messages to poke fun at the newcomer. The supercats had already adopted human’s internet lingo and copied the way humans interacted on such messaging applications.
To everyone’s surprise, Princess Qian actually posted a photo of herself
She was an unusually beautiful ragdoll that would only appear on posters and commercials. Even Zhao Yao was captivated by the cat’s photo. The newcomer also edged out Elizabeth in terms of her looks.
The photo invited a barrage of comments in the group.
Leopard Head could not help but replied, “So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!”
Godly God replied shamelessly, “Hey, can I mate with you?”
XxXxXL Juicy Chicken Cutlet (Roly Poly) started posting a few photos to flaunt the amenities available in Zhao Yao’s apartment. Roly Poly boasted, “A three-story luxurious mansion with automatic self-cleaning litter box and the most delicious cat rice!”
The Strongest Luban (Matcha) immediately posted a photo of Roly Poly and sneered, “This is the photo of the fatso who just tried talking to you! You don’t have to reply him; he’s not worthy of you!”
Roly Poly almost went crazy when he saw the photo of him devouring the cat tidbits being circulated in the supercats WeChat group.
“This scumbag!” Roly Poly immediately dashed to Matcha with his lips drawn back in a snarl. Roly Poly continued, “Do not step over the line! Who told you to expose my identity to the group! Quickly take back the photo now!”
“I’m just trying to help you. I’m worried that she might cheat you and take away your money and waste your precious time!” After making his seemingly noble reply, Matcha followed up by posting a screenshot of his bank account balance in the group.
At the same time, he posted a message.
Matcha commented, “With so much pocket money, I don’t even know what to spend the money on?”
Roly Poly pounced on Matcha’s back and demanded, “Delete my photo, or I’ll expose your identity on the group!”
“Alright! Alright! I’ll delete the photo!”
Elizabeth looked down on them with contempt and secretly tapped on Princess Qian’s WeChat profile. She thought, “I never expected her to come to Jiangmen city as well.”
