Cats were natural-born hunters, and they particularly enjoyed chasing, catching and biting the things around them. They often played hunting games with their masters and other feline companions.

Their primal instincts act up especially when they saw mice, birds, and other small animals, and the cats would start attacking them viciously.

This could be the reason why cat toys were especially popular with most of these cats, apart from the smarter ones.

When Zhao Yao picked up the cat toy, all three cats turned to attention immediately, but both Elizabeth and Matcha barely gave a second glance.

Only Mango, a British Shorthair, excitedly rushed over and leaped onto the cat pole.

Zhao Yao sighed in disappointment, "Shouldn't all cats enjoy these small and whacky toys, especially the feathery ones? Almost all cats would have gone for the cat toy!" He thought to himself.

But seeing the current situation, it seemed that Elizabeth and Matcha had awakened their intelligence, and all these toys couldn't capture their attention. Only Mango had an innate love for the cat toys. Elizabeth and Matcha watched as Mango pounced around. Zhao Yao shrugged, and casually tossed the cat pole over to Mango, and then went back to search for other toys.

Elizabeth and Matcha couldn't be bothered with all the toys, unlike Mango, who leaped in excitement around the bouncy-ball, the scratchboard, and the fake mice.

Zhao Yao glanced over at Matcha, who was in his own world playing Mobile Legends on his phone.

"Matcha, do you want to play with this?" Zhao Yao sheepishly waved the laser pointer around.

"Do you think I'm retarded?" Matcha scoffed.

Mango continued to frolic around Zhao Yao's foot, scurrying around to catch the red laser dot. Zhao Yao swore that if he pointed the laser at the stars, Mango would stupidly follow it.

Having exhausted all his options on Matcha to no avail, Zhao Yao dejectedly sat down and exhaled with a sigh, "Matcha, what exactly do you want to play!?"

"What to play? Obviously, I'm playing Mobile Legends!"

Zhao Yao was taken aback momentarily. "Ah… silly me", he chided as he whipped out his mobile phone. "Hurry up and invite me to a game. I'll carry you!"

"Ok, give me a sec, I'm almost done with this game."

Zhao Yao invited Matcha into his team, only to realize that the Supercat was not only bronze-ranked but just lost a star. Zhao Yao clearly recalled that a few losses at bronze rank wouldn't have caused a loss of a star. How many times did Matcha lose to get to this level…?

"This noob…," Zhao Yao said with a black face. Luckily Zhao Yao was silver ranked, which was enough to carry Matcha.

Immediately after Matcha entered the team, Zhao Yao started a match.

Although Matcha's skills were terrible, Zhao Yao was able to cope as he had played for a long time. Also, since both their ranks were low, they were matched with low-ranking opponents too. Zhao Yao was able to carry Matcha eventually.

They were both on a winning streak, with Zhao Yao crushing his opponents easily while Matcha constantly ridiculed and insulted his opponents.

"Oh! Do you want to kill me? How does it feel to die all the time?"

"Haven't surrendered? You 'tryhards' want to win THAT badly?"

"One death for three of your deaths. Worth it!"

Suddenly, Matcha exclaimed, "What the f*ck… how did the dominator come out?"

Zhao Yao reluctantly said: "That is Zhang Fei."

An hour zipped by quickly. Matcha was ecstatic because Zhao Yao carried him all the way to silver rank. As he played, he let out satisfied purrs.

Matcha had never won so many games in a row. At the end of every match, Matcha kept bugging Zhao Yao to play another.

However, Zhao Yao had no interest in carrying Matcha anymore. He took a glance at his daily mission. It was never-ending.

Daily mission #3: After playing, it was time to train. Please gather the Supercats together and train their abilities for an hour.

It looked simple enough, except that Zhao Yao had never tried using the abilities intensively for more than an hour.

Zhao Yao told Matcha to use his ability. Matcha was reluctant at first, but Zhao Yao made him a deal he couldn't refuse - to carry him again tomorrow, in exchange for the lazy cat to practice his abilities.

The world stopped around Zhao Yao and Matcha for six seconds. Matcha had the ability to temporarily stop time. One hour of practice, in reality, would have been two hours for Matcha and Zhao Yao. If not for the constant pressing of Zhao Yao, Matcha would have thrown in the towel long ago.

Matcha grew hungrier the more he used his powers. This had never happened before.

By the last few minutes, Matcha's eyes turned red as his stomach started growling.

Immediately after the time freeze, Matcha rushed to the automatic cat feeder without hesitation, jabbing his paw into the dispensing button.

Seeing Matcha wolf down his food, Zhao Yao thought to himself, "I thought that ability didn't really consume energy, but now it seems that it does. However, the energy expenditure is still small, and his daily diet should be able to sustain him."

Zhao Yao checked off his third mission and looked at the next one down the list.

Daily mission #4: Need to replenish nutrition after training. Regular cat food alone cannot meet the dietary requirements of the super cat. Please create a higher grade cat feed. Low-grade cat feed cannot make the cut.

Reward: 1 experience point

Failure penalties: None

Looking at this new task, Zhao Yao sighed in disdain. He couldn't cook for himself and had to eat take-outs every day. Now he had the extra responsibility of preparing food for Matcha.

However, Zhao Yao decided to give it a try for the potential rewards in completing the daily tasks,

"To make high-grade cat feed, should I improve the nutritional value of it?" Zhao Yao considered the previous versions of cat feed, ranging from rough, normal, excellent and superior levels. The thing that set them apart was their nutritional level. Deep in thought, Zhao Yao opened his computer and researched on cat food manufacturing-related processes.

Zhao Yao never had the opportunity to research on cat food because of his work commitments. Now that he was freed from his work commitments, he realized that the preparation of these dishes was not as complicated as he thought. The main consideration was the choice of ingredients. It had to be a mix of different meats and vegetables to complement the diet of the cats, and also had to have a decent taste to it.

Furthermore, some cats liked chicken, while other cats preferred beef. Some even preferred pork and fish. If the cat didn't get a meat that they wanted, they would rather go hungry than consume it.

Zhao Yao knew that Matcha's preferred meat in cat food was beef and chicken. Following this, he found a recipe that had these in it and subsequently went downstairs to the market to buy the required ingredients.

Before going downstairs, Zhao Yao disposed of all the existing cat food in the house, to the protest of Matcha.

"Just wait a moment, I will cook for you today!" Zhao Yao smiled as he made his way out.

Logically speaking, cats were carnivores, and the purpose of eating vegetables was to aid in gastrointestinal motility by adding fiber. The vegetables also provided essential vitamins and minerals.

According to the recipe, he found online, Zhao Yao bought beef, chicken, cauliflower and quail eggs at the supermarket downstairs.
