Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s voice echoed in Elizabeth’s head,
Elizabeth, I’m going to clear all the rubbish and trash from the café. Help me cast an illusion on me.

Hence, Zhao Yao was walking around the café, interacting with customers in everyone’s eyes. However, that was just an illusion. Actually, he went around the cafe with his mouth wide-opened and started absorbing all the trash scattered across the floor, bar counter, tables, and chairs. Whenever he opened his mouth, the trash would turn into streaks of shadows before disappearing into his mouth.
As the only person in the entire café that actually saw what happened, Elizabeth threw a disdainful glare at Zhao Yao. She commented,
Why can’t you just clean using a vacuum cleaner like any ordinary human being would?


Elizabeth, even though this might seem extremely disturbing from your perspective, but in actual fact, the rubbish just enters the extradimensional belly straight. They don’t even touch my lips.
Zhao Yao gave a half shrug of his shoulders before continuing,
Initially, I shared similar concerns as well. However, I realized how convenient it was once I got the hang of it.
After one round of absorption, Zhao Yao retreated to the trash can behind and vomited everything into it.
Elizabeth continued staring at Zhao Yao with her condescending look and remarked,
This is plain disgusting no matter how I look at it.


Isn’t this better than you licking your fur with your tongue? You don’t even know how filthy your fur is.
A lopsided smile appeared on Zhao Yao’s face as he continued,
How about I help you clean your fur using my belly. Then you won’t have to lick them clean anymore.

A glimmer of excitement crossed Elizabeth’s eyes as she found Zhao Yao’s proposition rather tempting. Every day, she would spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning her fur. However, the thought of Zhao Yao cleaning her fur made her retch.
From afar, Zhao Yao observed Hanako politely serving the customers. She seemed so enthusiastic and helpful. Zhao Yao sniggered,
This Japanese gal is really capable.

As usual, a horde of college girls huddled over Elizabeth. Coco Sun, who donned on a French maid costume, ran her fingers through Elizabeth’s fur and whispered excitedly into her ears,
Elizabeth, I haven’t seen you in such a long time. Do you miss me?

Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Coco before turning her head away. Elizabeth’s behavior left Xiao Qing bellowing with laughter. She exclaimed,
Elizabeth doesn’t like you. I am her favorite customer.
Immediately, she cradled Elizabeth in her arms and pressed her against her chest.
Zhao Yao communicated to Elizabeth telepathically,
Elizabeth, is everything okay over at Hanako’s side?

Elizabeth who was still deliberating on the issue of cleaning her fur replied indifferently,
Don’t worry, I have my eyes on her.
At the same time, she pushed Xiao Qing away from her and grumbled,
Doesn’t this woman lick her own fur at all? All the fur on her head is so greasy and knotty.

The construction of cat nation and the Village of Dreams was too important and Zhao Yao could not risk bringing Hanako along. Hence, he had left Hanako in the café with Elizabeth watching over her.
A thought sprang to his head when Zhao Yao saw Elizabeth and asked,
Oh yes, your parents and sister are all inside the dugout. Would you like to pay them a visit?


What’s there to see?
Elizabeth swung her tail from side to side nonchalantly. She explained,
The three of them are so irritating. They just want to act all pretty and elegant. Their behavior just gets on my toes.
Suddenly, Elizabeth snarled furiously at a girl as she embarrassedly removed her hands off of Elizabeth’s belly.

Hmph, there are so many new customers nowadays. None of them has any clue about the rules here. They don’t know how to keep their hands to themselves.
Elizabeth grumbled,
Zhao Yao, can you create a booklet, detailing the dos and don’ts in the café?

Zhao Yao nodded his head and replied,
Sure, I’ll get Baiquan to do it.
With the influx of customers, it was time to establish some basic rules for all customers to comply with. Zhao Yao could not expect all of them to memorize each cat’s distinct personality and adjust their behavior accordingly.
The contractors maintained the overall ambiance within the café. Until now, Zhao Yao hasn’t seen the completed renovation upstairs. With excitement racing through his heart, Zhao Yao sprinted upstairs to take a look.
The second floor was adorned with predominantly wooden furniture. Wallpapers decorated the entire space with beanbags scattered across the floor. There were even some kitty towers for the cats to enjoy. Even though it was far from being considered lavish, it was definitely very homely.

This is quite an accomplishment given how much time they had.
However, Zhao Yao had also noticed the poor numbers on the second floor. Because of the lack of cats, most customers were congregated on the first floor.
After clearing all the rubbish, Zhao Yao whipped out his BOOK and took a glance at the content. Evidently, none of the supercats had returned to his belly, leaving his chain mission unfinished.
He thought,
What’s taking the cats such a long time?
He had already used his ultimate bait, computer games, as a lure to ensure that the supercats would always return to his belly.
Hence, he went to the back door and absorbed himself into his extradimensional belly when he ensured no one was looking at him. He exclaimed,
Dust Ball, why aren’t the supercats back yet?

Immediately, Dust Ball appeared in his eyes but she was panting heavily and struggled to talk. Zhao Yao was perplexed by what happened and asked,
Why are you panting so heavily? Is your illness kicking in again?


No …. No…
Sparks of excitement shot across Dust Ball’s eyes as she exclaimed,
I’m better than ever!

Zhao Yao nodded his head suspiciously and continued asking,
What about the supercats? Aren’t they supposed to be back already?

Dust Ball tilted her head to her side and tried her best recalling what happened.
…

She’s at the top of that tree! Surround her!


Be careful, she is going to jump down anytime!


Ahhh, my back is about to break! Didn’t any of your parents teach you to respect your elderlies?


Be careful, she is going towards your direction!


Caesar, why are you so useless. You let her escape before your very eyes!


The Fist of the North Star!


Why is she gone again? Everyone split up and find her!


Boohoo, I don’t want to play anymore. I just want some fried chicken.

..
Dust Ball nodded her head with a contented smile plastered on her face. She explained,
Hmph … they … they are all having such a great time outside. We are playing a game and everyone’s enjoying themselves.


Playing a game together? This is weird. Maybe one computer game is not enough to capture everyone’s interest?
Zhao Yao raised his laptop in the air and announced,
You don’t have to force them to return if they’re unwilling to. I will give them more computer games. I guess Diablo 2 has lost its former glory.

Hence, Zhao Yao rushed over to all the terminals and started installing an assortment of games in all the laptops.

Hmph, I can’t connect the laptops to the internet currently. I shall just make do with some single-player games then.

Since the costs of the laptops and games were not included in his overhead cost for the café, Zhao Yao bought all of them the latest gaming laptops. With its incredible specs, Zhao Yao began his mission.

Hmph, let’s start with Dark Souls, Grand Theft Auto, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Resident Evil …
Zhao Yao handpicked his personal favorites and installed them into the computers. Suddenly, a thought crossed his head,
What about the female cats? Will they prefer a more casual game?

After much deliberation, Zhao Yao downloaded Plants vs Zombies, Angry Birds, The Sims and Harvest Moon on their laptops.

Battle rapper? Why did it suddenly appear in my suggested games?
Zhao Yao re-logged in into his account and the search engine suggested the same game. Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief and mumbled,
I guess Baidu has developed some serious misconception about me.

At the same time, the teenager and middle-aged man had already reached the outskirts of the Village of Dreams and were currently blocked by the illusion in place.

What do we do now?
The teenager asked with his forehead puckered together,
It seems like this place has been sealed off.
In front of them used to be a plot of barren land. Now, it was replaced by a giant rock magically created by the illusion.
