Since destroying Muscle Society, Zhao Yao spent the majority of his times completing missions and managing his café. The experience points earned was remarkable. However, he was left with three diamonds after spending five on the cute dress, and two on two ‘Power Up Cards’.

In order to save diamonds for rainy days, Zhao Yao did not use the ‘X2 Exp Card’ on the subsequent days. Hence, the experience growth was significantly slower than before.

Despite it, his current BOOK had already reached lv5 (4278

/10000).

The experience points for his supercats were as follows:

Matcha lv5(320

/5000)

Elizabeth lv5(320

/5000)

Dust Ball lv6(80

/10000)

Ares lv4(390

/2000)

Lucifer lv4(250

/2000)

A contented smile crept on to Zhao Yao’s face as he nodded his head happily, “Not bad, not bad at all. I’ll be able to upgrade both Ares and Lucifer without even including the experience points from the monthly mission. If I include it, I can even upgrade Matcha.”

After looking through the status of his BOOK, Zhao Yao could only lay on his couch as he waited for the clock to strike 12. In the meantime, he decided to take a look at the situation inside the belly, especially how his vegetables were doing.

He was greeted by the amazing scene of pots with plants that had already begun to sprout. Under the warm and fuzzy glow created by the Light of Creation, the plants had produced tiny green leaves. They seemed so healthy and full of life.

“They’ve finally grown!” Zhao Yao eye’s sparkled with excitement. Zhao Yao propped his chin on his hand and started thinking hard. From the looks of it, plants such as catmint, leek, and cabbage took at least one week to begin sprouting. Surrounding the pot of catmint were Airplane, Uncle Egg and a few other supercats who laid on the floor with saliva trickling down their chins. Their paws were still grabbing tightly onto a handful of catmint. Evidently, the catmint grown was exceptionally potent and delicious.

“Time to put them to the test!”

Zhao Yao then fed Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, Lucifer, and Ares a basket of all the different vegetables. He discovered that the experience earned for each vegetable was different. All of them gave at least five experience points. However, catmint gave 10 experience points which were the same as cat grass.

Similarly, the experience points earned were capped no matter how many times they ate in a single day.

Luckily, the rest of the vegetables did not produce the same side effects as cat grass.

“Hmph, I guess this makes catmint the most efficient vegetable.” Zhao Yao stared at the handful of catmint in his palm and thought, “If I feed Matcha and the rest with catmint every day, this will be a new method for me to earn additional experience.”

He took a glance at the supercats who were still immersed in the drugging effects of the catmint and started cackling, “I think this should be called super catmint.”

Matcha plucked a single strand of catmint and stared at it, “Oh, Diana! When will I ever meet you again? I guess I can only numb myself with this catmint then!”

Dust Ball was way more excited. She plucked a handful of catmint before licking violently across it She began screaming in her head, “How can such a delicious catmint exist in this world? As compared to this, the past catmints are utter rubbish!”

At this moment, Baiquan emerged from the kitchen with bowls all over his arms. He announced, “It’s time for dinner! I even prepared supper!”

The cats who were uninterested in the catmint bolted towards Baiquan like a bullet and began waiting excitedly at their usual spots.

However, there was one exception. Rice Cake remained rooted to her seat with her eyes glued to the screen. She did not even turn her head as she stretched open her mouth and screamed. Following her scream, the air molecules started vibrating before they reached a resonance which projected a crisp and clear voice into the surroundings, “Bring … bring me … the rice…”

Baiquan could not help but giggle at this scene. He brought Rice Cake’s bowl right to her and advised, “Rice Cake, it’s not advisable to eat and play at the same time.”

Suddenly, Zhao Yao who was observing this scene came to his feet, with a glint in his eyes. He whispered to himself, “Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I last upgraded my cat rice.”

Since the introduction of the new American pet food regulations, Zhao Yao could only produce Michelin-starred cat rice with the ingredients allowed. He had never upgraded his cat rice since then.

However, he did put in the effort to try improving the cat rice through all sorts of experimentation. He used premier ingredients such as Kobe beef, caviar, and even white truffle. He also tried the scientific way by incorporating vitamins and supplements into his cat rice but it was to no avail.

His eyes darted from the catmint in his hand into the pot of Michelin-starred cat rice. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought, “Will I be able to upgrade the cat rice if I use this catmint as one of the ingredients?”

Zhao Yao immediately put his thoughts into action as he prepared another batch of cat rice with the catmint incorporated inside.

Baiquan had never seen Zhao Yao personally preparing cat rice for a long time. This piqued his curiosity as he asked, “What happened, Boss?”

“I’m trying a new recipe.” While Zhao Yao spoke, his deflective field had already sent waves rippling into the kitchen, sending the ingredients and kitchenware flying across the place.

Zhao Yao began washing the vegetables, cutting the meat and mixing them into a mixing bowl … after the preparation works, Zhao Yao had successfully combined the beef, fish, shrimp, vegetables, and supplements into a giant bowl. Using a small ladle, he began scooping out balls of it before squeezing it into a perfect sphere. Finally, he left all of them inside a steamer to steam.

As compared to other methods, steaming was definitely the healthiest method and could prevent the nutrients from seeping away.

After more than an hour, Zhao Yao finally returned with his masterpiece – Meatball Cat Rice. The fragrance permeated the entire apartment which sent Dust Ball and Mango hurrying over, huddling around Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao’s eyes remained glued to his works as he started laughing.

Zhao Yao always had the ability to differentiate the standard of cat rice by simply using his eyes. Cat rice could be separated into bad, average, good, splendid and Michelin standard. All this time, Matcha and the rest had been fed with Michelin standard cat rice which more than satisfied their dietary requirements, without producing any pollutants. This gave Zhao Yao 10 experience points each day.

However, the cat rice in his hands was no longer Michelin standard, they were legendary. It had the perfect balance between nutrition, taste, and aesthetics. By utilizing the vegetables grown using Light of Creation, Zhao Yao had successfully incorporated superpower into this dish. Hence, the cats could earn 100 experience points each. Zhao Yao had no idea whether this could be further upgraded.

However, 100 experience points every day was more than sufficient for Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao did not have to manage the café nor complete more missions for this points. He simply had to cook.

With five cats recruited under him, he would have an additional 500 points each day with this splendid food.

“Come, everyone! Have a taste of my new cat rice!” Zhao Yao sat on the couch as he watched the supercats inching towards the food, as he daydreamed about the experience points.

“Furthermore, I had plenty of customers this month. With the bonus cash from Old Man Zhuang, the experience points should be plenty. With the legendary cat rice providing 100 experience points daily, I’ll be invincible!”

Meanwhile, Matcha was carefully scrutinizing this meatball as he asked, “Why is there a faint green tinge on it? Is it poisonous?:”

“It’s so fragrant!” Dust Ball took in a few quick breaths and her nose almost crashed into the surface of the meatball. As the smell spread through her body, she could not help but salivate. Finally, she could no longer resist but plunge her teeth into it.

Following the first bite, Dust Ball’s pupils dilated as her body collapsed to the ground. One giant word flashed across her head.

Delicious!
