Chapter 37

Circle of Friends

After a detailed explanation by Roly Poly, Zhao Yao and his supercats finally understood what it meant to borrow a superpower.

Simply said, other than using the superpowers for themselves, supercats could also lend them to humans.

Based on information that Roly Poly had gathered, humans were the only ones capable of receiving these superpowers. However, supercats still retained their abilities even after lending them away.

However, not every human was capable of borrowing this power.

Firstly, only a small proportion of the human population could successfully borrow a superpower. The success rate was dependent on the individual's health, strength and mental state.

Even if they managed to borrow the superpower, the powers that the humans wielded would be weaker than the cats' innate abilities.

Finally, the humans must have absolute faith in their supercats when they were borrowing their superpowers. Humans must not resist the transfer of power throughout the process. Both the supercats and humans must be in physical contact for the human to successfully acquire the power.

Roly Poly continued, "Currently, the longest time that a human can borrow the superpower is one day. Once the time expires, the superpowers will disappear from the humans' bodies, while the supercats' powers increase by a little. Supercats can take back their power anytime."

"Oh?" Zhao Yao replied, "So after taking back their powers from humans, the cats' superpowers will increase in strength? That means if you lend it too many people …"

"It's impossible," Roly Poly interrupted, "Till today, I have met thousands of people in the brotherhood. However, only my master and Baiquan are capable of receiving my power. The number of humans who can receive superpowers is minuscule, and the increase in strength of our superpowers after lending them is insignificant."

"Is that so? How many superpowers can a human borrow?"

"I think it's 1? Based on the people I know, their bodies will not be able to take it if they receive more than one superpower."

Zhao Yao scratched his chin and started to compare that to the ability of his BOOK. Currently, his BOOK seemed far superior to a supercat lending its superpower to a human.

Compared to a typical human borrowing a superpower, his BOOK was more like a Pokeball. After catching supercats using his "Pokeball", he could choose and swap between the different superpowers, unlike an ordinary human who could only use up to 1 superpower.

However, Zhao Yao was still curious and wanted to know whether Matcha could lend his superpower to others. He tried to experiment with it for the next few months, but he realized that it was impossive. When a cat was registered in his BOOK, and its loyalty reached 100 points, the cat would not be able to lend their superpower.

"One more thing, how do you know so much about this?" Zhao Yao asked while fixing his eyes on Roly Poly.

"I…I heard from others," Roly Poly replied with his puss in boots eyes and innocent look, "I know of many supercats."

As he was speaking, Roly Poly grabbed a phone from underneath his b.u.t.t.

"You see, this is our supercat chat group…"

Zhao Yao s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone from his paws and saw the list of members in the group. At that moment, a message came in.

Leopard Head asked, "Who knows how to earn some quick bucks using teleportation other than doing deliveries?"

"So Leopard Head wants to earn some money," someone with the ID of 'No1. Dried Fish Fan' replied, "You will have no future if you continue doing deliveries. If you can teleport, you can do trafficking from Yunnan, China to Golden Triangle, or even Columbia."

Leopard Head replied, "What the f*ck! Are you trying to get me killed and turn me into food?"

"Why resort to trafficking?" Another supercat with the ID of 'Chubby Luban a.s.sa.s.sin' replied, "Just go straight to a gold vault. Take as much as you want and leave. I stole tens of millions RMB the last time, and I still have so much money left."

Leopard Head replied, "F*ck you! You were still borrowing money to buy frozen meat yesterday; you do not have tens of millions RMB."

Chubby Luban a.s.sa.s.sin replied, "R*tard, I do not have any ID, and so I cannot open an e-banking account. How am I supposed to do online shopping without an e-banking account? I can only borrow money from you guys."

Leopard Head replied, "How about the shovel for your feces? Don't tell me you secretly use your owner's e-banking account?"

"No, my owner has started to suspect me since the time I used her account to buy some ca mint. She even installed a CCTV camera outside my room." Chubby Luban a.s.sa.s.sin continued, "Now, I need to use my neighbor's computer to surf the net."

Seeing the conversation between them and the IDs of all the members, Zhao Yao contemplated and said, "Are all the members of this group chat supercats? So you guys depend on WeChat to communicate?" Zhao Yao still could not believe how up-to-date these supercats were with technology.

"Not exactly," Roly Poly blinked and replied, "Some supercat owners are in the group too."

However, it was quite challenging to differentiate between cats or humans since it was just a WeChat group. Everyone was very relaxed, and they were somewhat unwilling to expose their ident.i.ties on the group.

Zhao Yao asked, "So how much do you know about the supercats situation in Jiangmen city?"

"Only G.o.d will know," Roly Poly replied, "Stray cats, domestic cats, supercats, some of them have communicated with humans while others have fled far away. Some enjoy living alongside humans and try to integrate into their environment. Some are just lurking in the shadows, thinking about how to enjoy their lives.

Who knows what these cats will do.

All these supercats have just awakened their powers, and they were still in the process of understanding it."

Zhao Yao shook his head as he could not believe the amount of information he had gathered from a supercat of the brotherhood.

Zhao Yao returned the phone to Roly Poly and said, "Can you add me to your WeChat group?"

"Alright," Roly Poly agreed obediently.

Matcha joined in and said, "Add me to the group too."

Elizabeth spoke to Zhao Yao via telepathy, "Zhao Yao, I also want a phone. I want to be like Matcha. I want to be able to surf the net and join this WeChat group."

Roly Poly said, "What's your ID? I'll add you in."

Match replied proudly, "The Strongest Luban."

Zhao Yao nodded as he observed both Roly Poly and Matcha add each other on WeChat with their nimble paws. Zhao Yao thought, "Hopefully Elizabeth wouldn't be a phone addict after getting her phone."

Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly and left, but he saw Baiquan standing in the lobby. Zhao Yao immediately asked, "You're still here?"

Baiquan seemed a little timid and afraid. However, he stared at Zhao Yao with a look of excitement and said, "D...Devil, can I be your follower?"

"Huh? Follow me?" Zhao Yao was left dumbfounded and continued, "What do you want?"

"Isn't it natural for people to follow powerful leaders? " Baiquan said as he looked at Zhao Yao. Flashes of Zhao Yao's abilities such as teleportation flashed across his mind. Baiquan could vividly recall Zhao Yao's flaming wings, flaming skulls, psychokinesis attacks, human puppet skills and even the troll face.

"I want to follow you; I want to be part of h.e.l.l…"

Baiquan had given serious consideration to it. Given his current skills and background, he would only be able to live a regular life even if he worked hard his entire life. After experiencing life with a superpower, he understood what it meant to follow Zhao Yao.

Before Baiquan completed his offer, Zhao Yao had already left and said, "I'm not interested. You are already a grown up. Can you do something that benefits the society and stop thinking about stupid things? As for me, I just want some money to buy a car and a house…"

"But why…," Baiquan could not help but stopped Zhao Yao in his tracks and said, "With your power, you can achieve greatness in this world without much effort. Any power from your repertoire is enough to create a shockwave in the world.

Furthermore, you have all these powers combined, and it is not unimaginable for you to conquer the entire world with them."

Seeing Baiquan's excited look left Zhao Yao in a dilemma, "How old are you?"

"Me?" Baiquan froze temporarily and replied, "I'm eighteen this year."

"Oh?!" Zhao Yao replied with a look of disbelief, "Eighteen? I would not suspect you even if you say you are thirty."

Baiquan was slightly embarra.s.sed as he took his ID from his pocket, "I look a little mature for my age, but I just turned eighteen this year."

After examining Baiquan's ID, Zhao Yao realized that he was telling the truth and said, "Why are you working at this age? Go back and study."
