“In any case, I should just focus on improving my skills. I shouldn’t let Kun Wu and Project X meet unless I’m very sure of my capability to overpower him, lest anything happens and spins out of my control.”
After making that decision, Zhao Yao opened the browser and started shopping online.
Zhao Yao saw rows of masks listed on the webpage, making him undecided on which to choose. He asked, “Sheriff, which one do you think looks better?”
Sheriff stuck his head out from Zhao Yao’s collar and thought to himself, “Does he want to be flattered again? This guy is so troublesome.” He revealed a flattering smile on his face and said sweetly, “Zhao Yao, you’ll look handsome in any mask.”
When Airplane saw the message from Meat Bun, he was shocked and immediately asked him to go into hiding for the time being while he began to panic in earnest.
“Matcha’s status has been rising continuously. I feel like I’m going to lose my post as the head of the Royal Cat Guards soon,” Airplane thought to himself. “I really want to know what Zhao Yao is thinking. But it seems like eavesdropping will be too difficult…”
As he thought about it, Airplane ran towards another part of the Cat Wonderland. From afar, he could see that on the sofa in the lounge, Matcha was rolling around in his lion onesie, meowing out loud.
…
Matcha said excitedly, “Elizabeth, look! Don’t I look really majestic now? And really imposing? Doesn’t this give off the feel of a lion?”
Elizabeth side-eyed him and said, “Idiot.”
Matcha laughed, “Are you jealous of my thick and sexy mane?”
Elizabeth pursed her lips and activated her power of illusion. Matcha immediately felt as if his mane was on fire as he started shrieking wildly and rolling around on the floor.
Airplane watched the scene before him silently. “I wanted to discuss with Matcha about this at first, but is there really a need to discuss anything with this guy? Forget it. Even if he takes over as the head of the Royal Cat Guards, I can still manipulate him right?”
With that thought, Airplane suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders lessen and instantly relaxed.
“I should go back to work. I’m really thinking too much.”
…
Half a day passed and Zhao Yao was still choosing a mask. He still had not found one that he really liked.
“This doesn’t make sense. Would a Headless Horseman with a mask still be called the Headless Horseman?” Zhao Yao pinched on his chin as the thought, “Is there a way to restore my reputation to its former glory?”
One by one, the abilities of the supercats flashed across Zhao Yao’s mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
“Our vision is due to the reflection and refraction of light. If I can prevent the light rays from reflecting and refracting, maybe I can conceal myself.”
To accomplish that, the first power that came to Zhao Yao’s mind was the Deflective Field.
“Let’s set the deflecting target of the Deflective Field to light. Then…”
Zhao Yao covered his whole body with the Deflective Field before he tried to prevent light from reflecting and refracting away from his body.
After trying for half an hour, he was still unable to fully conceal himself, though his body was distorted into a weird shape as if he was staring at a distorting mirror.
Even then, Zhao Yao did not lose hope. In fact, he became more confident.
“This really changed visual perception. This proves that my train of thought is correct. As long as I can prevent light from reflecting off my bod and make it pass around my body like ripples, I will be able to conceal myself.”
However, the whole process was obviously not so simple. Given Zhao Yao’s current power of six cats, superhuman perception, reflex, calculation abilities, he was still unable to achieve this after training for one whole hour.
Hence, Zhao Yao decided to take a break before training again. He went on the Cat Web to search for more news of the location of the meteorite fragments.
Suddenly, an advertisement appeared.
“Are you still vexed over disobedient supercats?”
“Are you still racking your brains to plead him to lend you his abilities?”
“Are you still heartbroken over your supercats emptying out your bank account?”
“The Light of Dawn Supercats Training Academy will let your supercats become more obedient than dogs.”
When he saw this advertisement, Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up instantaneously. He immediately clicked on it and realized it was a video advertisement.
A woman opened the room door and saw a badly scratched sofa. Cat snacks were scattered all over and there was even some cat poop outside the toilet.
A chubby fat cat lay on the sofa, glancing at the female master with disdain.
“Mei Mei is a tabby cat I picked up from the streets three years ago. Around two years ago, she was still a smart and obedient who would come and bump me when I came back home from work.” The woman started crying as she said, “But after she awakened, everything changed. She refused to eat cat snacks, and insisted on eating whatever I was eating.
Once the cat toilet got slightly dirty she would shit right outside it.”
“Afterwards, I gave her my phone to play with so that she would stop making a fuss. Little did I know that things would spin out of control.” The woman sobbed uncontrollably. “She wants to snatch my phone from me to play with it everyday. After that she peeked at my PIN when I was sending money so that she could secretly top up more than 50k into her game. She even knew to cancel the message notifications from my bank.
One day, I wanted to withdraw money. That was when I realized there was only 3.60 dollars left in my bank account. I went to check my bank records before I realized she used all my money for her game boosters and even tipped a live stream host called Lizzie.”
Voice-over: “Then after you found out, did she apologize? Did you hit her?”
“Why would she apologize?” The woman sighed. “I really wanted to hit her, but I know that I’m no match for her. Even when I just pat her head she bares her teeth and snarls at me. She even used her superpower to make the cup on the table break into pieces.”
Voice-over: “Then what were you thinking of at that time?”
“Then I just thought that this cat was beyond redemption and that I couldn’t keep her as a pet anymore. But I couldn’t bear to ditch her. Afterall, I picked her up when she was just the size of my palm and raised her for so many years.”
Voice-over: “What happened afterwards?”
“After that, I told my best friend about this. They said I couldn’t continue raising my cat like this or else something worse would happen. She said she knew a cat trainer that was worth giving a try.” The woman sighed. “At that time I had really lost all hope and couldn’t think of any other solution, so I decided to make a Hail Mary effort and give it a try.”
Voice-over: “Mei Mei is the classic evil cat who unleashes her tyranny at home and walks over her master. A family is about to break apart because of her and her owner is already at her wits’ end.”
“But just after a month, a miracle happened.”
The scene immediately changed into a happy one.
The owner was running in a field with Mei Mei tagging behind when a wolf suddenly appeared.
“Mei Mei, attack!”
“Dodge the attack, Mei Mei!”
“Use the Light of Death and Destruction!”
The video came to an end as a line of small words appeared on the screen, “Every cat lover can become a supercat trainer.”
