The young girl glanced at Fish Ball and said, “That’s true. It has been one year, and I’ve developed some feelings for you.”

Fish Ball heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could finally relax, he heard Xiao Yu, the young girl, remarked, “Let’s take a photo before I sell you.”

“No! Don’t!” Fish Ball was howling with fear, “Please do not sell me, you do not have to sign any contracts. I’ll just lend you my power of illumination. Please, I just want to live here. I do not want to leave this place even when I die.”

At this moment, Fish Bal’s behavior was similar to Matcha when Zhao Yao informed him of his decision to relocate.

Xiao Yu thought about it and replied, “I’ll borrow your power first, and we’ll see how it goes. Don’t tell me your power has some side effects such as radiation.”

After half an hour, Xiao Yu got bored of the power and commented, “What a trashy power to have.”

Fish Ball tried to appease Xiao Yu by saying, “Xiao Yu, do you feel that your skin has started to glow and radiate after using my power? You look like a goddess.”

Xiao Yu ignored his comments and accessed reddit on her phone and started a thread: Anyone knows a good way to earn money with the power of projecting light from your palms?

...

Meanwhile, the cat café opened for business as usual.

Matcha had soon recovered from the devastation of losing in Mobile Legends and had focused all his attention on the customers.

After this period of hard work and the soothing power of Celestial Beat, the business in the cat café had picked up steadily. Zhao Yao earned thousands of RMB a day which brightened his mood considerably.

This was not only a healthy source of income, but it also allowed him to complete his monthly mission and gain experience points.

Furthermore, Zhao Yao believed that this was not the cat café’s ceiling. The profit could easily increase by a few times over the next few weeks.

Soon enough, three days had passed, and it was time to meet Xiao Ming again. The three days had passed by in a flash because Zhao Yao was busy with the café and completing his daily missions. Zhao Yao even began experimenting on how to prepare a more nutritious and delicious cat rice.

With his extensive research online, it was impossible to create better cat rice by doing things conventionally. However, he did not have any innovative ways to improve it.

However, after devoting much time training alongside Dust Ball, he came to understand the extra-dimensional belly’s traits.

For example, if Dust Ball wanted to expel the items out from her extra-dimensional belly. The order in which the objects were expelled was according to the order they were absorbed in. Even though there might be a few discrepancies in the order, they generally followed this rule. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Furthermore, if you made a conscious effort to control the order in which the items were expelled, the chances of discrepancies were even higher.

However, both Dust Ball and Zhao Yao were somewhat ineffective in controlling this power. They still required far more practice.

...

Three days later, Zhao Yao was standing at the front of his café. In front of him stood a teenaged boy and an eight years old girl.

He stared at the boy and girl standing in front of him and noticed that the clothes they wore were too big for them. Even though the clothes seemed extremely clean, there were signs of discoloration and broken threads. It was evident that the clothes had been used for a very long time.

Apart from the clean clothes they wore the smell of shampoo and body soap even emanated from their bodies. However, they were looking at Zhao Yao with a sense of fear and inferiority to him.

The two of them had stood outside the cat café for the past two days. Their longing eyes were glued to the cats in the café, but they never took a step inside it.

Zhao Yao could recognize the boy as his father worked at a store inside the shopping mall. The boy was probably here because of his summer break.

Zhao Yao looked at the pair of eyes which longed to enter the café and sighed. He asked them, “Do you want to come in?”

The boy nodded his head violently and responded with a simple yes.

Zhao Yao turned around to his café and swung open the front door and announced, “Come in then but don’t expect this to be free. You can stay here for 2 hours, but you will have to help me distribute flyers. If you manage to give out 50 in a day, you can stay in the café and play with the cats.”

Both children nodded their heads as their lips curled into a smile.

Zhao Yao looked at them and said sternly, “Remember to use the hand sanitizer and shoe covers. Do not run around or injure the cats when playing with them.”

The children were frightened by Zhao Yao’s tone. However, their mood changed the moment they stepped into the café and felt the soothing effects of Celestial Beats. They shut their eyes to immerse in it fully; they felt so relaxed that they just stood there for a minute doing nothing.

The effects of Celestial Beats were especially pronounced in adolescents going through puberty. By exposing their bodies to it once per day, it would bring about enormous benefits for the rest of their lives.

15 minutes later, Zhao Yao was still sitting at the corner of the café, browsing the internet. Mango lay comfortable on his legs as it was having its afternoon nap.

Recently, Zhao Yao had sent all the stray cats in the café for sterilization. Mango did not go for sterilization because it was on estrus. Hence, Zhao Yao had to monitor it to ensure it did not go around the café pooping and peeing.

Suddenly, Zhao Yao received a notification on his phone.

Zhao Yao took a glance and realized it was a message from Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming was waiting at the junction ahead. Zhao Yao immediately proceeded to the bar counter.

“Xiao Shi Yu, remember to get the children to help us distribute the flyers after they have played for 2 hours. I’m going out for a while.”

Xiao Shi Yu chuckled as she recalled, “No wonder he asked me for help to print flyers for the café. This guy is really quite weird, why can’t he just allow the kids to play for free?”

“Oh yes,” Shi Yu asked, “Is this considered as child labor?”

Zhao Yao broke into laughter and replied confidently, “Child labor? We did not even pay them, how can that be considered labor?”

“Even if you don’t pay them, it is still illegal ...”Shi Yu said under her breath. She continued, “Alright ... Anyway, are you still coming back to the café today? Usually, you are the one who will bring Matcha back to your apartment.”

“Hmm, it’s just a small errand, I won’t take too much time,” Zhao Yao continued, “I’ll be back before we close for the day.”

He turned around and waved goodbye before bringing Dust Ball along.

The palm-sized Dust Ball was firmly clasped in Zhao Yao’s hand. She seemed so obedient as compared to how she behaved when she first met Zhao Yao.

The catmint had significantly improved Zhao Yao’s control over Dust Ball. Her current loyalty had increased to 60 points.

Zhao Yao decided to bring Dust Ball along instead of Matcha and Elizabeth because he did not want to affect the business in the café. After disguising himself as a Scottish Fold, Matcha’s popularity rapidly grew among the customers.

In Zhao Yao’s eyes, he would be able to take care of the apostles with Dust Ball and his BOOK.

Zhao Yao slowly caressed the fur on Dust Ball’s back as she rubbed her body against his palm. Dust Ball asked, “Zhao Yao, are we going out?”

“Hmm, but I won’t be able to use Celestial Beats all the time, so you have to bear with it.”

Dust Ball nodded her head obediently, and Zhao Yao left the café. Xiao Ming was already standing outside, waiting for him.

Zhao Yao had mastered the use of Matcha and Elizabeth’s abilities. Furthermore, their loyalty ensured that there would not be any chance of failure when using it. Hence, bringing Dust Ball along would be the best decision.
