Chapter 758: Working and Escape
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After listening to Yellow Mud’s complaint, Matcha’s eyes gleamed and he thought to himself, “Is he here to borrow money from me? Yellow Mud has taken care of me for a period of time. I can lend him 50, no, 20 dollars.”
While Matcha was analyzing Yellow Mud’s motive, Yellow Mud continued, “Now, it is harder and harder to live on the streets. The leftovers are getting scarce. More and more people like to eat spicy strips and rear dogs. The dogs love to chase us around. It is unsafe to continue living like this. It is not good for Floret too. So I was thinking of getting a job.”
Yellow Mud looked at Matcha sincerely. “Matcha, I heard that you are the manager here so I came to ask if I can work here.”
Upon seeing Matcha’s expression change, Yellow Mud said immediately, “Burying cat litter, tidying cat beds, licking fur, mopping the floor, and cleaning, I can do all of that!”
“This……” Matcha fell silent and looked at Yellow Mud’s appearance. He thought, “The fastest way to make money is the top floors. As long as there are customers asking for him, he will have no problem surviving with his sister. But, Yellow Mud looks too ordinary, he is no match for the flirtatious bitch above.”
Thinking of this, Matcha rejected the idea. “Then, work below? But, Yellow Mud does not have enough combat powers and isn’t fierce enough. He isn’t as resourceful and sophisticated as me……”
Just as Matcha was in a dilemma, Milk Tea ran over happily and had a rat in his mouth. He shouted as he ran over. “Brother Matcha, let’s go. You said that you would catch rats with me today.” He ran into Matcha’s stomach and snuggled happily.
Matcha’s eyes were filled with sorrow. “Who wants to catch rats? It’s so childish. Adult cats play Mobile Legends.” Milk Tea, who was on his tummy, looked at him with anticipation. Matcha could not bear to reject him.
Matcha felt more melancholic. “Aye, ever since this silly boy came, I no longer have a private life. How long has it been since I went to a bar, or on a date with other female cats or played Mobile Legends. It is all because of him.”
Then, his phone rang. He pulled it out and saw that Fish Ball had invited him to a bar.
Fish Ball said, “Brother, I am unhappy. Come out and suck catmint with me.”
Matcha was surprised.
Fish Ball continued, “That kid transferred all the money that I earned…… What did I do to deserve this?!”
Matcha looked at his phone again and glanced at Milk Tea. “How do I choose between my brother and him? This is so hard.”
Fish Ball added, “Matcha, there is a new Norwegian Forest cat at the catmint bar. Her eyes are so huge. Her fur is so slick and I heard that even her tail smells like catmint……”
Looking at the picture Fish Ball sent, Matcha heard his calling. He felt that he could not let his brother down. He could not abandon his brother when he was so miserable.
What about Milk Tea?
He looked at Milk Tea and remembered Yellow Mud who was by his side. His eyes lit up and he chatted privately with Yellow Mud. “Yellow Mud, why don’t you take care of this kitten?”
“What?” Yellow Mud looked at Milk Tea in surprise and answered, “I can do it, but……”
“There are no buts. I shall hand this kitten over to you. As long as he does not starve, you can hit him or scold him. From now on, you are an employee of the Cat Wonderland. You can report to Zhao Yao later when you are free.” Matcha smiled and told Milk Tea. “Milk Tea, I have something planned today. I can’t play with you today. Uncle Yellow Mud will accompany you.”
Then, Matcha wanted to leave. After taking a step, he realized he was stuck. He turned back and saw Milk Tea biting onto his tail looking at him angrily.
Matcha said with a straight face, “Why are you so disobedient? I have something important to do and I have no time for you.”
Milk Tea asked, “What thing is it? Is it going to the bar? These few nights, you kept saying that you wanted to go to the bar. What is a bar?”
“What are you talking about? How can you say that,” Matcha answered in panic. “Now, international relations are so tense and supernatural powers are on the rise. The number of small scale wars are increasing drastically. Why would I be in the mood to go to the bar at such times? I don’t even have enough time to study global politics and economic environment. What would a kid like you understand about such international events?”
Matcha picked Milk Tea up and threw him to Yellow Mud. Then, he turned and walked away. “Be obedient and listen to Yellow Mud. I will be back tonight.”
He rushed out of Cat Wonderland and felt relieved. It was as if he had gotten rid of a big burden and felt unprecedented freedom.
“Hahahaha, I have finally gotten rid of that burden! Norwegian Forest cat, oh I mean, Fish Ball, I am coming! Hahaha.”
Yellow Mud and Milk Tea stared at each other for awhile. Milk Tea pouted his lips and said, “I am Milk Tea. Give me money.”
Yellow Mud was speechless and thought to himself, “‘What has Matcha taught this kitten?”
……
In an underground base in the United States.
The entire base was filled with special cells. There were cells covered in a nutrient solution and some filled with liquid.
Some were entirely made out of plastic. No metal was seen in the cell.
Some modeled a vacuum and there was almost no air in them.
This variety of cells was what the United States government used to imprison different types of dangerous supercats.
Now, all the cell doors were broken and the supercats escaped. Alarms were ringing through the entire base but there was no trace of any guards or the army onsite.
Coffee was behind X as they walked towards the deepest part of the base.
Coffee asked, “Boss, do we not need the escaping cats?”
X shook his head. “They are just ordinary supercats. I have the data of their powers. It is okay to let them leave.” He looked in front and laughed. “These few supercats are the interesting ones.”
As they spoke, a black figure charged forward and cast a shadow over their heads.
Behind the shadow, a Maine Coon that was the size of a tiger walked up to them. Its tail would whip the air and an explosion could be heard.
Behind X and Coffee, another half transparent supercat appeared slowly and looked at them wickedly.
