<h4>Chapter 223: Mission or Game?</h4>


    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions


    Supercats had existed for more than half a year. Since Matcha’s transformation, Zhao Yao had been observing supercat’s behavior for quite some time.


    These intelligent lives, which recently appeared on the surface of Earth, were extremely curious about the history of human civilization.


    In Zhao Yao’s eyes, he believed that the rules and mechanisms governing thisplex human civilization were something that supercats craved to understand since they had only just acquired human-like intelligence.


    Hence, Zhao Yao understood that it was impossible to control them by simply resorting to violence. This was especially true for Zhao Yao since he intended to wee more and more supercats into his cat nation. He needed these supercats to fall in love with the ce and spend their time here willingly.


    Zhao Yao’s goal was to leverage the experiences and lessons learned throughout history and incorporate them into this ce. He wanted to create a utopia within the extradimensional belly where supercats could enjoy with their friends the fruits ofbor from our longstanding civilization, without humans’ watchful eyes. This was to be a true yground for cats – Vige of Dreams.


    “There would be more than enough space bybining the extradimensional belly with the dugout. However, I have to encapste this ce with an illusion and equip it with sufficient facilities. The illusion would prevent humans from entering and only allowed supercats to enter. Next, I have to use my power to maintain order in this ce. I can start by using my money to improve their living conditions. This will be a secret utopia for supercats.”


    “Oh yes, I think the renovation works for my café should be almost done by today.” Zhao Yao gave a call to Shi Yu and instructed her to inspect the ongoing renovation works. Then, he waved to Baiquan and told him to report to the café on his own.


    He switched on hisptop and nced at the contents of his wallpaper. His mouth curved into a smile as he whispered, “Hmm ... Let’s start with this.” With that, he held theptop in his hand and carried a portable electric generator into the belly.


    ...


    Currently, eight cat heads huddled towards a tiny phone screen. All their eyes were glued to it which was currently ying Downtown Abbey.


    Female cats such as Diana and Catherine were especially attracted to the drama’s plot. They did not even dare to blink their eyes as they did not want to miss a single moment of it.


    On the other hand, the male cats grew increasingly restless as they continued watching the show. The Garfield, Gaia, scratched his swollen head and grumbled, “Boss, when can we finally watch Naruto?”


    “Wait until I manage to f*ck Catherine, ... No ...” Ares immediately changed his words and said, “Wait until we finish watching Downtown Abbey.”


    “Huh?” The Siamese cat, Fūjin, instantly turned his head around. Ares’s words felt like a knife to his heart. Fūjin tugged at Ares’s tail and pleaded, “But I really want to watch Naruto.”


    Ares simply retorted, “Naruto, Naruto. What’s the most important lesson in Naruto? Patience! Can’t you just wait for a while more?”


    “But I don’t think I can wait any longer.” The Garfield continued scratching the back of his head before he started stumbling across the ce. He whispered, “Why do I feel that my head is getting even more swollen? Why is everything spinning in this ce?”


    “Hallucination.” Ares interrupted Gaia’s words and instructed him,” “You have been staring at the phone screen for too long. You just need a good night’s rest.”


    Gaia stretched his back and replied, “But the headache just worsens the moment Iy on the floor. Rakshasa, can youe over and help me take a look? Is the back of my head really swollen?”


    The American Shorthair nced at Gaia’s head and noticed the bruise that had swelled to the size of a bun. However, he remained expressionless as he shook his head and replied, “It’s not swollen. From the looks of it, you’re perfectly fine.”


    Suddenly, the male ragdoll, Caesar, craned his neck forward and took a look at Gaia’s condition. He could not believe what Rakshasa had just said and eximed, “How is that not swollen ...”


    Before Caesar couldplete his statement, Ares had already interrupted him by saying, “This is not swollen. He’s just fat and has puffy fur.”


    “Really?” Caesar started scratching his own head and said, “Speaking of a headache, I have also been suffering from a slight headache for quite some time. Also, it feels as if I’ve forgotten about something.”


    Ares replied, “Your body is still not ustomed to the atmosphere in the Vige of Dreams which exins your headache.”


    “That’s right, Caesar. You should really spend some time training your body. Even Diana and I are fine. All you do isin about your throbbing headache.” Catherine threw a condescending look at Caesar before continuing, “We still have to thank Ares for taking care of us when you were unconscious.”


    Tears welled up in Caesar’s eyes as he dashed forward to Ares and said, “Mr. Ares, thank you so much for taking care of my wife and daughter while I was unconscious. You will be my friend from today onwards.”


    “I don’t think we are just friends.” Ares raised his paw and started pping him on his back. With his eyes fixed on Catherine, Ares muttered, “We are brothers.”


    While the two female cats were engrossed in the film, a beam of holy light poured down from the sky as aptop slowly descended from the heavens. Theptopnded right in front of the group of male cats.


    At the same time, Zhao Yao’s voice rang in their heads.


    “Everyone, it is time for the new mission.”


    “If you manage toplete this mission, you will stand a chance to enter the outside world.”


    “What?”


    “We can finally leave this ce?”


    All the supercats’ eyes sparkled with excitement when they heard the news of possibly leaving this ce. Their eyes were glued to the holy light, theptop and portable generator lying on the ground. This generator was something Zhao Yao had specially prepared for the extradimensional belly. It could provide up to 400W of electricity and was ideal for a ce like the extradimensional belly with no source of energy.


    A smile crept up Zhao Yao’s face as he took a look at theptop and announced, “This mission is very simple. I need you to get past the first stage of this game within a day.”


    As Zhao Yao’s voice continued to echo in their heads, the supercats had already tilted their heads towards the screen in unison. Suddenly, a word started to appear, letter by letter.


    Ares read out, “Diablo 2? What’s the meaning of this word?”


    The game that Zhao Yao wanted the cats to y was Diablo 2. The best way to lure these cats, which had only just received human-like intelligence, was to use aputer game.


    This was the idea Zhao Yao had developed after seeing how addicted Matcha and Rice Cake grew after watching him y Mobile Legends and yerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.


    “I’m going to turn the extradimensional belly into the best cat inte café. I will equip this ce with the best facilities and turn it into a cat heaven.”


    The reason why he chose this game was that it did not require inte for them to y. Also, the long story mode would attract the cats’ attention for a long time. The cats could even y together by using the Local Area Network.


    At the same time, Ares, the leader amongst them had stepped forward to take on this challenge. With the mouse in his paw, he started ying his firstputer game.


    “Create your character?” Suddenly, seven characters appeared amidst the piles of fire, burning in the background. All the cats stared intently at theputer screen.


    Ares randomly clicked on one of the characters and a muscr bloke with tattoos all over his body emerged from the shadows. He even had an ax in his hand.


    “This guy is so muscr!” Excitement shot out of Ares’s eyes as he clicked on another character and a female wizard emerged from the shadows. Her magic staff was even illuminated with a captivating glow. Ares mumbled, “This woman seems stronger than that guy.”


    Hence, Ares decided to go with the female wizard. After watching the introductory video, they had finally arrived at their first stop, Rogue Encampment.


    Two hourster, Ares rapidly tapped against the mouse and shouted, “Press the skill! Press the skill!”


    Fūjin had both paws pressing against the keyboard as he retorted, “You didn’t even specify the skill? How am I supposed to know which to press?”


    Suddenly, a zombie appeared on the screen as it slowly made its way towards them. Ares’s chest tightened with fear as he shouted, “Use the fireball! The fireball!”


    Bam!


    The zombie copsed under the intense mes of the fireball. Its body exploded and gave out a few coins and potions. Ares could not help but started beaming from to ear. He had no idea why but he felt an inexplicable satisfaction whenever he saw the zombie falling to the ground. It was even better than sniffing on catmint.


    “The zombies are back!” Fūjin eximed, “Quick! Aim at them!”


    Ares, which was responsible for the mouse, slid it across the floor and had a perfect aim on the zombie’s forehead. Immediately, a few fireballs were shot out and burnt the zombie to crisp.


    “Hey, it’s some equipment! Pick it up and take a look!”


    Ares immediately moved his mouse as their character stood over the armor. Suddenly, they started jumping up and down the ce as they were overwhelmed with excitement, “Golden armor! It’s a golden armor!”
