After the Ivory incident came to an end, Zhao Yao returned to Jianghai.

The most antic.i.p.ated event for that night were the experience points and skills upgrade.

“Matcha and Elizabeth require too many experience points to upgrade so they are out of consideration. As for the remaining…” Looking at the mission panel, Zhao Yao thought, “Dust Ball, Ares, Lucifer, and Sphynx cat are able to advance to the next level. Who shall I award with experience points?”

Lucifer and Sphynx cat were recently upgraded so a more powerful regeneration and training speed were not required.

Zhao Yao calculated the requirements for upgrading Dust Ball and Ares. He was very pleased. “Just enough for Dust Ball and Ares to advance to the next level.”

Zhao Yao waved his hand and upgraded Dust Ball and Ares. The panel showed:

BOOK: Level 6 (21107/20000).

Dust Ball: Level 9(0/100000)

Ares: Level 8 (0/50000)

Dust Ball attained level 9 and the Extradimensional Belly expanded by 100 square meters. Zhao Yao accessed the ability tree and saw two new skills.

Intermediate Dimension Portal: The number of Dimension Portals is increased to five.

Air purification: The air in the Extradimensional Belly will undergo self-purification.

Zhao Yao understood that the Dimension Portals were for improving transportation outside the Extradimensional Belly while the air purification was beneficial for the future development of the Extradimensional Belly.

He felt that the current number of Dimension Portals was not enough. Moreover, the greater number of Dimension Portals would help in air circulation. After consideration, he selected Intermediate Dimension Portals and Dust Ball effectively controlled five Dimension Portals.

Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ares.

After Ares attained level 8, the radius of the Deflective Field increased to 40 meters and there were two available skills for selection.

Frost touch: The Deflective Field could lower its internal temperature to -60°C.

Toughness upgrade: Increase the toughness of the Deflective Field.

Zhao Yao was interested in the Frost touch. Previously, the Deflective Field had freezing effects but it was too weak and was similar to a fridge so he did not use it much.

The lowering of temperature to -60°C was useful especially when combined with the invisible field radius of 40 meters. It created more attack options for Zhao Yao.

With the continual strengthening of the Sphynx cat, Ares' Deflective Field was no longer the main physical attack option. Ares could provide an alternative attack option with the frost effect.

In the normal mode of Frost Touch, the temperature was -60°C. If a Power Up Card was used, how much would the temperature be? When normal modes of attack were ineffective, this could be an effective trump card.

Zhao Yao decided on Frost Touch.

He waved his hand and brought a cup of water in front of him via the Deflective Field. With concentration, he made the water's temperature drop rapidly and transformed it into ice that emitted white gas.

Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, “I do not need to use the air conditioning during the summer…”

Without the threat of Ivory, Zhao Yao resumed his carefree life.

Two weeks later.

In front of the original cat café, numerous balloons flew into the sky as a celebration. The Millionaire's Cat Wonderland was officially open for business.

Thanks to Uncle Ho's recommendation of the renovation team, the apostles with various superpowers took only two weeks to renovate 40% of the shopping mall. The Cat Wonderland completed the first phase of the renovation on schedule. Zhao Yao wanted to start business as soon as possible so that he could earn more experience points at the end of the month.

The front of the Cat Wonderland was decorated with numerous floral baskets sent by government officials and business owners.

Bai Quan stood at the entrance to receive the well-wis.h.i.+ng guests.

Zhao Xue walked to the entrance and asked curiously, “Is this a nightclub? Where is my brother?”

“We are an aboveboard wonderland for cuddling cats.” Bai Quan said, “I think Boss is already inside.”

Xiao Ming and Black Panther approached and cupped their hands to congratulate Bai Quan. “Congratulations! Wis.h.i.+ng you prosperity and great profits for your business!”

Xiao Ming thought, “I haven't tasted meat for a week. Today I get to enjoy it.”

They entered the main hall and saw a crystal showcase that was as large as a basketball court. Inside were a myriad of cats that were more than a hundred.

Bai Quan was at the side explaining, “Everyone may choose a cat to play with. The ones with a blue tags cost 50 dollars, the red tags cost 200 dollars and the golden tags cost 500 dollars. After payment, the cat will follow you. Our business hours are from 1pm to 1am and you are allowed to cuddle, carry and play to your heart's content until you exit the premises.”

Looking at the cats pose seductively, they gaped in astonishment.

Zhao Xue covered her face and whispered, “Bai Quan? Are these supercats?”

Bai Quan shook his head and whispered to Zhao Xue, “The ones with blue tags are farm cats, the ones with red tags are cats of different breeds. They had been properly taught by Elizabeth using her illusions so they are lovable, obedient and will follow the guests. The ones with the golden tags are supercats who wanted to earn a living.”

In the crystal showcase, Fish Ball, who was wearing a golden tag, tapped on the ground and meowed at Zhao Xue, “Choose me! Quickly choose me!”

Zhao Xue looked at the waving Fish Ball and rubbed her forehead as she asked, “Is this place illegal?”

Bai Quan smiled as he replied, “How can playing with cats be illegal?”

Zhao Xue looked at a big sized animal in the showcase and asked, “What's that?”

Bai Quan gazed at the tail wagging and innocent looking Husky and said, “Playing with dogs is not illegal either.”

Xiao Ming asked shyly, “Do I have to choose a cat?”

Realizing Xiao Ming's embarra.s.sment, Bai Quan said, “You may enter to enjoy after purchasing a ticket. Choosing a cat for playing is additional paid service. This is the first day of business so tickets are not required and you can enter directly.”

Bai Quan returned to the entrance to receive another guest. Xiao s.h.i.+yu brought Zhao Xue, who had chosen her cat, into the deep end of the Cat Wonderland.

The chosen cats followed behind the guests obediently and occasionally rubbed the guests' legs. They would play with the guests until the end of work time.

Zhao Xue looked at the location map and brought her cat to the 7D cinema. She thought, “7D cinema? Sounds like a cinema for pirated films. Only three show times per day? Now is the time for the first show.” She entered the cinema and discovered that all the seats were vacant. She chose a seat and settled down. The cat jumped onto her knees and settled in her arms, snoring peacefully.

Just as Zhao Xue sat down, the cinema became dark. She found herself in a boundless sky full of stars and she fell from the sky like a comet, plummeting to the ground below.

The ears of Zhao Xue quivered. After improving her hearing perception, she discovered abnormalities, however, she smiled and continued to indulge in this rare experience.

Elizabeth yawned as she sprawled at the back of the cinema. Looking at Zhao Xue in the surveillance monitor, she continued her projection of the illusions.
