“What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
After hearing Matcha’s explanation, the price of 58 000 exploded into 20 exclamation marks in Mao Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick’s mind.
The two cats started conversing telepathically in a flurry. Countless thoughts flew across their minds and were transmitted to each other.
“A supercat academy actually earns this much money?!” Mao Mao’s mouth fell wide open as he screamed wildly in his mind. “One cat is charged 58k? Even if I was sold off I wouldn’t be worth that amount of money. What kind of monsters are attending such a school? Batman??”
“Boss, it’s only 58k today because the Cat Wonderland is having a special promotion,” The multi-colored cat said seriously. “The original price is a whopping 198k!”
“198k?” Mao Mao started shivering all over and the tail on his back shot upright like a police baton. “If it’s 198k for a cat, 10 cats would cost…… cost……”
Countless zeros appeared in Mao Mao’s mind. This number had exceeded his capacity for calculating and the cat shivered as he thought, “Maybe…… maybe it can even buy the whole of Jianghai?!”
The multi-colored cat pursed his lips as he thought, “I don’t think it’s that much……”
Seeing the two cats in silence, Matcha started breaking out in cold sweat on his back as he thought, “Eh? There’s totally no reaction? Is the price I quoted too high? These two guys look quite dumb to begin with, I thought I could rip them off easily. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just have to reduce the price again.”
However, Mao Mao whipped his head up and stared straight into Matcha’s eyes as he said, “Does every cat here have to pay such expensive school fees?”
“Uhh huhhh,” Matcha nodded hesitantly. He was about to come up with reasons to justify the cost and try to reduce the price when he saw Mao Mao kneel on the floor and said with all respect and seriousness to him:
“Boss Matcha, please let us work under your guidance!”
The multi-colored cat sidekick waved at his boss as he asked hesitantly through telepathy, “Boss, aren’t we going to be cold-blooded killers?”
“Shut up. There’s nothing good about being a killer!” Mao Mao said, “Killing cats for money will stain my paws bloody. Won’t you feel uneasy going to sleep every night? I’ve had enough of living such a life!”
The multi-colored cat said, “But……”
“No buts!” Mao Mao said, “From today onwards, I will be a normal staff of the supercat academy. I just want to lead a simple life collecting 58k from every cat that enrols. Why are you forcing me?”
The multi-colored cat thought to himself, “He unknowingly revealed his honest thoughts……”
On the other hand, Matcha fell silent upon seeing Mao Mao kneeling on the floor.
After a long pauses, Matcha touched his head and asked, confused, “What do you guys mean?”
Mao Mao immediately rushed up and hugged Matcha’s leg as he screamed, “We want to work here! Please take us in!”
“We can do anything and everything!”
Matcha twitched his lips in annoyance, “Then what about the enrolment you were saying just now?”
Mao Mao did not dare to look at Matcha in the eye as he turned to the multi-colored cat and started conversing telepathically with him again.
“What should we do now? Should we betray those two guys who hired us?”
The multi-colored cat said in exasperation, “Boss, then Matcha would know that we came here with the intention to kill him.”
“Then what should we do?” Mao Mao panicked. “D*mn, I still haven’t earned enough for my son’s allowance next month. My wife and everyone else in the family all look down on me. Every time there is a gathering with all the other Cat Kings, those despicable guys would look at me with disdain. This job…… I must get this job!!”
“I suddenly feel a strong sense of resentment……” The multi-colored cat sidekick sighed in resignation. He said telepathically, “The only way is to plead with him sincerely. If we show him our sincerity, it might work?”
Matcha stared at the two supercats kneeling on the floor and sighed in exasperation, “We already have enough workers here. We are not hiring new workers at the moment.”
Mao Mao slammed his cat head on the floor and said in a loud voice, “I will definitely work hard. Even if it costs me my life, I will willingly do it!”
Matcha rolled his eyes. “Did you even understand what I just said? I said we are not hiring any more cats.” As he said that, he stood up. “Get your asses out of here before I call security.”
Mao Mao was not going to leave just like that. He and the multicolored cat leapt towards Matcha who was walking out.
“Please, I’m begging you!”
“We really need this job!”
Matcha flashed and appeared more than 10 meters away. He twitched his lips in annoyance, “Where’s the cats from the Cat Fighting unit? Quick, chase these two cats out.”
More than 10 supercats charged out at once, beating up Mao Mao and the multicolored cat as they chased them out.
Milk Tea ran over from afar and bumped his head into Matcha’s body, “Brother Matcha! Brother Matcha!” He glanced at Mao and the multicolored cat sidekick curiously and asked, “Who are they? Why are you chasing them away?”
Matcha said in an annoyed tone, “They are just two poor cats. Remember, Milk Tea, cats should always look for a high spot to rest on. You must always make friends with rich cats in this world. As for those poor cats, just trample on them mercilessly!”
Matcha raised his paw high in the air as he said ferociously, “The more cats you trample on, the better the view you can see from the top. This is what society is all about!”
Milk Tea nodded his head awkwardly. “Is that so?”
On the other hand, Mao Mao and the multicolored cat were stunned when they saw Milk Tea.
The multicolored cat said, “Boss, that small cat looks just like you.”
Mao Mao muttered, “He doesn’t just look like me. He looks more like that guy Matcha right? He even appeared here. Is he Matcha’s son?”
A few minutes later, the two cats were chased out by a bunch of supercat security guards. They returned to the catmint bar dejectedly.
“D*mn, I got rejected on my first try at getting a job,” Mao Mao said despondently, “Society is too cruel.”
The multicolored cat said in exasperation, “Boss, what are we going to do now?”
At that moment, the man, woman, and white cat trio appeared and walked towards Mao Mao and the multicolored cat.
“Leader Mao, were you guys about to betray us earlier on?”
……
Milk Tea thought about what Matcha said as he walked along the corridor of the Cat Wonderland. “I must step on more poor cats to climb up? Society is really cruel.”
“But how can I step on more cats like Brother Matcha?”
“.…… This is so tough.”
Milk Tea scratched his head and took out his phone, “Why don’t I ask Master Zhao?”
He sent Zhao Yao a message on Wechat.
He was not expecting Zhao Yao to reply him immediately. However, Zhao Yao seemed to have internet connection right at that moment while he was in the US as he replied immediately.
“Absolute violence.”
“Huh?” Milk Tea thought to himself, “Does this mean I have to rely on superpowers? But I still don’t know what my own superpower is.”
Just as Milk Tea paced around in deep thought, a voice suddenly rang out, “Milk Tea, what are you thinking about?”
Milk Tea turned around and saw Uncle Egg taking Roly Poly for a walk. He smiled at Milk Tea, “Looking at your lost expression, I guess there’s something you’re puzzled about?”
“Yes.” Milk Tea walked over to Roly Poly and stroked Roly Poly’s head. Seeing the cat squint his eyes in delight, Milk Tea asked, “Uncle Egg, how can I discover what my superpower is?”
