Zhao Yao sighed audibly and covered his face, “I have indeed been too lax with you guys recently.”

Zhao Yao stared at Gaia again. He never thought that game boosting would be so enjoyable for her. He could no longer stand by and watch her go on like that.
The next moment he snapped his fingers and cast a wave of illusion. Gaia’s vision turned black and before she knew it he was already slumped on the floor and began snoring softly as she fell into deep sleep.
Gaia was seriously too tired. Although it was the power of illusion that incited her sleepiness, she fell into deep sleep in no time. She might not be able to wake up even if the illusion was removed.
“I’ll let Gaia have a good sleep for now. As for you…” Zhao Yao walked to the dimension portal leading to the Cat Island with Rice Cake in his hand and threw her over, “Go out and have fun playing outside the whole day. I don’t care if you go and sniff the grass, find a male cat, catch mice or whatever you want to do, you are just not allowed to come back and use the computer again.”
Rice Cake landed on the ground and immediately charged towards the dimension portal but slammed right against it. Her face was stuck to the door of the dimension portal as if it was stuck on a glass door as she screamed at Zhao Yao, “Zhao Yao! You can stop me today but you can’t stop me forever! I will be back for sure!”
Seeing as Zhao Yao just turned to leave and ignored her words, Rice Cake’s eyes rounded in anger, “Despicable meow! I’m so angry!!”
Zhao Yao returned and sat down in front of the computer. The moment he came back Cheese asked worriedly, “How is Rice Cake? Was she very angry?”
“Yeah, she’s fine. She’s still a kid, her anger will go away after a while,” Zhao Yao continued playing his game as he said that.
Cheese asked again worriedly, “What if she gets too agitated and unleashes her ability to generate earthquakes?”
Rice Cake had the power of vibration and had once activated her powers to generate an earthquake after she experienced pain.
Zhao Yao waved him off, “Don’t worry, she’s a big girl now. She knows her limits.”
The next moment, one of Cat Sage’s dragon heads popped out from the dimension portal and shrieked, “Which d*mned cat went and taught her a lesson?! The whole Cat Island is about to sink! Are there no laws here?”
Three minutes later, Rice Cake glared with eyes full of hatred as she slammed both paws on the metal cage bars and screamed, “Zhao Yao, you won’t be able to lock me up like this!”
Zhao Yao turned and stared at Rice Cake who was in the cat cage and shook his head, “Rice Cake, from today onwards, you can only play on the computer for 5 hours. You must use your extra time to participate in activities and play with other cats.”
Rice Cake shouted back at him, “But everyone else is playing games too! If I don’t play games, how can I play with them?”
Zhao Yao replied calmly, “You’re still too young. You don’t enough self-discipline to control yourself. It’s not good for your body if you play games for so long everyday, especially when you’re a Scottish Fold. What if your old illness acts up again if you don’t take good care of your body now?”
“Sister Elizabeth knows Sound Field Therapy. There are also many different kinds of nutritional cat meals for me to eat everyday. I won’t fall sick with all this around,” Rice Cake replied. “Furthermore, everyone else is playing games, even you, Zhao Yao! What right do you have to stop me from playing as well?”
Zhao Yao sighed in exasperation. He looked up and scanned the surroundings quickly. Most of the cats were either watching videos, playing games, using the computer, or on their phones.
Even when he looked at the training area, Sphynx cat had turned his training from physical to mental. His body shook just by doing squats and it was considered a form of training, which he could do while watching videos at the same time.
Everyone could play except for Rice Cake, which did seem a bit unfair.
Just as Zhao Yao thought so, his eyes lit up as he suddenly spotted a lone cat that was not playing games out of every other cat around.
He saw Milk Tea playing around excitedly with a toy mouse on the floor.
“Eh? Milk Tea just came here and he hasn’t been corrupted by all these fat cats yet? Might as well let him come and keep Rice Cake company.” Hence Zhao Yao waved his hand at Milk Tea and called out, “Milk Tea, come here for a while.”
Milk Tea held the toy mouse in his mouth as he ran to Zhao Yao and said blankly, “Give me money?”
“Hahahaha, this kid.” Zhao Yao took out a 100 dollar note and gave it to him as he smiled and said, “You are so like your father when he was young. Where’s Matcha? Why is he not with you?”
Milk Tea thought for a moment before he slowly replied, “Brother Matcha said he went to shift bricks so he asked me to play by myself here.”
“Oh, it must be the renovation for the 18th floor.” Zhao Yao nodded, “Milk Tea, I’ll introduce a young older sister[1] to you.” As he said that, Zhao Yao took Milk Tea and put him in the cat cage.
Milk Tea thought to himself, “What’s a young older sister?”
Zhao Yao said to Rice Cake, “Rice Cake, this is Milk Tea. Say hi.”
Rice Cake stared at Milk Tea in annoyance and huffed before she turned away from both Zhao Yao and Milk Tea.
Zhao Yao patted Milk Tea on the head and said, “Milk Tea, have fun chatting with Rice Cake.” After saying that, he returned to the computer table and continued playing his game.
After five minutes, Rice Cake finally could not stand it anymore and turned abruptly, “Hey kiddo, do you really have nothing to say…” However when she turned around, Milk Tea had already fallen asleep on the spot.
“The heck! Aren’t you here to keep me company? Why are you sleeping!” Rice Cake shook so hard in anger that the whole cat cage started vibrating. “Wake up right now!”
On the other hand, after playing games for a while, Zhao Yao thought of Rice Cake who was currently being treated of her gaming addiction and decided that he should stop playing games that much as well.
“I should just increase the production rate of catmint. We will eventually have to supply the whole catmint market of Jianghai anyway.” Hence, Zhao Yao found Dust Ball and Red Packet and talked to them about the catmint prohibition issue.
Once they heard that the whole of Jianghai was to issue a catmint prohibition that only permitted the sale of catmint through Zhao Yao, both Dust Ball and Red Packet were stunned.
Zhao Yao continued, “But for us to supply the whole catmint market in Jianghai, you guys will have to increase the production of catmint.” He turned towards the catmint field and said, “With the Light of Creation in the extradimensional belly, we should be able to harvest catmint every week. Now we just have to expand and plan for an area on which to grow the catmint. We can’t just grow it haphazardly.”
Next, Zhao Yao instructed Dust Ball, Red Packet, and the other cats to maximize the usage of the catmint fields, which had an area of 400 square meters. Catmint was different from cat food. It was not an essential item to begin with hence the amount of space provided and the stock produced would have been enough to supply the whole catmint market in Jianghai.
The next day, Uncle Ho sent a message saying that the catmint prohibition would be implemented in Jianghai starting from next week onwards. Zhao Yao nodded knowing that this happened because they became more concerned about him after the tests.
Zhao Yao left the specifics of operating the catmint prohibition to Bai Quan as he could not be bothered with the details.
Hence, after dealing with the house renovation, expansion of the cat café, supplying the catmint market, Elizabeth’s broadcasting issue and all the other issues, Zhao Yao could finally stay at home and play games in peace and only went out at night everyday to find new missions to do to earn more experience points.
He played like that leisurely until the next week as Elizabeth’s broadcasting mission, Matcha’s cat caretaking mission and Rice Cake’s gaming addiction mission were completed one by one. Coupled with the experience points earned from completing missions that helped other people every night, Zhao Yao finally managed to earn enough experience points to upgrade Elizabeth’s level.
Zhao Yao stared at the panel:
Book: Level 6 (66 342/20 000)
Matcha Level 8 (5210/50 000)
Elizabeth Level 8 (4300/50 000)
Dust Ball Level 8 (27 055/50 000)
Ares Level 7 (5200/20 000)
Lucifer Level 6 (9100/10 000)
Sphynx cat Level 6 (6500/10 000)
Zhao Yao proceeded to transfer 45 700 experience points to Elizabeth, upgrading her to Level 9 (0/100 000).
“Level 9 at last.” Zhao Yao opened Elizabeth’s Level 9 ability tree happily as he thought of the extra skill point he had earned from the meteorite fragments mission last time.
