Matcha screamed in response, “That was barely a minute! I’ll be out the moment I get that photo! Just be patient.”

“No, there is no room for discussion. You leave the moment your time is up.”

Matcha could literally feel a suction force slowly wrapping around his body as it lifted him off the ground. Sweat beaded his forehead as Matcha relented, “Alright, alright! I’ll transfer you the money when I’m out.” Actually, he was sniggering in his head, “Only a fool will transfer you the money when he is out.”

However, the suction force did not subside. Instead, it grew even stronger. Dust Ball explained, “There is wifi inside my belly. Transfer the money to me now or I’ll throw you out.”

“D*mn it, that niggard.” Matha’s paw darted across his screen before tapping on the wifi button. Transacting that money over was like cutting a piece of his own meat and giving it away. Pain seared through him as he screamed, “Give me another minute!”

Matcha’s abnormal behavior got Elizabeth all curious, “What is he doing? Did he come in here to play his stupid phone games?”

After transferring the money over, Matcha immediately switched over to the camera function and recorded evidence of Roly Poly’s mutiny.

Meanwhile, Ishida nibbled on his bottom lip before finally answering Roly Poly. With his earnest gaze staring right at Roly Poly, he explained, “I’m just an ordinary person hired by the lending platform. I’ve heard of the name Zhao Yao, but there’s not much that I know about him. Is he an apostle?”

On Roly Poly’s end, she detected another presence inching towards her as a shadow loomed over. She didn’t even bother to turn her head and offered, “Ten for an hour, five hundred for half an hour, and two thousand for the entire night.”

Rice Cake was trembling with fury when she heard that exorbitant sum, “Wasn’t it just RMB five for a minute just now?”

“What’s wrong? Can’t I increase the price?” Dust Ball interrupted Rice Cake’s protest.

Rice Cake’s eyes were riveted to Dust Ball and it was filled with anger and indignation. She muttered, “Roly Poly, Matcha, and Elizabeth are all gone. We were supposed to play PUBG together!” Rice Cake had spent the last ten minutes in her futile search for her teammates. Only one possibility remained: they were in cat nation.

Dust Ball asked again, “So are you going in or not? I can’t guarantee that the price will stay the same a minute later.”

Fury blinded her as she made the decision, “I’ll just pretend that I’ve fed my money to some crazy dog.”

…

Roly Poly could feel that immense weight lifted off his tiny shoulder when those reassuring words echoed in his head.

Ishida noticed the change in his expression and muttered, “This cat seems rather gullible.” Hence, he continued by saying, “Actually, I have some money stored in my bank account. To express my heartfelt apology, I’m willing to share with you my bank account and password and my hotel room number. My debit card and credit card are all there. There should be approximately RMB 1,000,000.”

Roly Poly could literally feel his heart pounding against his chest when that astronomical sum was mentioned, “RMB 1,000,000? How much is that?” His tiny brain couldn’t even comprehend just how much it was. He simply concluded that it was a large sum.

“I no longer have to cower in apprehension for fear that Zhao Yao might learn about the money I borrowed using his name. This fortune will last me a lifetime!”

Even though he had already extracted the vital information, Roly Poly did not stop with his questioning, “I guess you have a way to contact the boss behind the lending platform. He should technically be hiding in this place as well.”

He continued by typing a string of words on the phone, “If you can contact him, tell him these six words. Do not respond to Zhao Yao! Do not respond to Zhao Yao!”

Meanwhile, Matcha was happily taking photos with the fervor of a paparazzi snapping footages of the most recent scandals, “I bet they’re up to something evil! Just look at that sly smile on their face. I’ll extort him using all these photos! After that, I’ll betray him by giving these photos to Zhao Yao. From today onwards, he will be the abandoned prince that no one ever talks about.”

Suddenly, that same irritating voice rang once more in his head, “You have run out of value in your account. If you wish to extend your stay, please transfer the money over to Dust Ball.”

Matcha’s voice exploded with fury when he heard those words. However, this was no time to quit. Things were starting to get exciting. Hence, he gritted his teeth before transferring the third RMB five to Dust Ball, “At this rate, the kingdom’s vault will be empty! Never mind, I’ll overflow it with money with all these juicy photos.”

Suddenly, Matcha was overcome with a wave of fear. He detected an anomaly in the surroundings, “Hmph, which a*shole is staring at me, behind my back?”

Elizabeth’s clear blue eyes squinted into a hard line as she thought, “Hmph, I guess he has finally noticed my presence. I’ll give it to him, his instincts are not bad.” However, that same wave of fear came crashing into Elizabeth, “This feeling, who is staring at me?”

Rice Cake who was hidden within the vast catmint fields was struck with that same hunch, “Not bad, Elizabeth … wait, someone is staring at me. Who is it?”

Lightning’s body was scrunched into a tiny ball, camouflaged amidst the rows of computer, “Hmph, noticed me already? What is she doing here at this time? How could she abandon me for something good? Hmph …” Suddenly, Lightning’s body gave a quick shudder, “This feeling …”

Another violent tremor pulsated through his body as Lightning groaned, “D*mn it, I thought I just peed minutes ago. Why do I have to pee again?”

Baiquan was also inside the belly. By adjusting his breathing to fit the natural frequency of the surroundings, he had completely blended in with it. He watched as Lightning scurried off to a corner and muttered, “All the cats in the apartment suddenly disappeared except for this fella right here. Luckily, I managed to stalk him here. What the hell is going on?”

All of a sudden, that same feeling seized Baiquan as he stood rooted to the ground, “Hmph, this voice sounds so …”

The voice which rang in Baiquan’s ears was none other than the default voice assistant, “You have run out of credits. Immediately transfer the money to Dust Ball if you wish to extend your stay.”

This was heaven. Dust Ball couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the amount of money in her account, “From now on, I’m a wealthy cat. I no longer have to toil on the ground to take care of my catmint field. I’ll simply hire a few cats to do it on my behalf. Actually, why didn’t I come up with this idea sooner? From now on, whoever wishes to enter the belly would have to pay me.”

Then, disaster struck, “Hmph, what is this feeling? Why do I have this intense urge to shit?” Dust Ball cocked her head up only to see Mango staring straight at her. Mango was in complete agony because of the intense stomachache.

“Ahh…” Dust Ball could literally feel her strength evaporating from her body as she collapsed to the cold hard ground, “This is not a feeling. I really need to use the toilet.” Her eyes swept towards a particular corner of the living room, “D*mn it, who the hell used Mango’s toilet?”

At the same time, Zhao Yao was lying on his bed with his eyes wide open. Those pair of bloodshot eyes could only mean one thing.

Because of Mango’s unique power, Zhao Yao had specially dedicated a cat toilet just for Mango’s use. This allowed him to shit and pee whenever he felt like it.

Some inconsiderate cat had used Mango’s toilet earlier today, resulting in this disaster. The toilet was still in the midst of its self-cleaning process and Mango had nowhere to turn to.

“D*mn it! If Mango had already activated his power, that means Zhao Yao is also …”

Dust Ball could feel the ice cold wind sweeping across the living room as the temperature plummeted. She felt the cold spreading through every inch and corner of her body. Fear paralyzed her for she knew that hell was about to break loose. She turned around and was greeted by those devil-like eyes. It was the devil himself floating out of his bedroom.

“Are you … tired of living?”

Dust Ball peed on the floor the moment she heard those words. Her body collapsed against the ground and started to shudder violently. With her teeth clattering against each other, she exclaimed, “It’s their fault! Matcha, Roly Poly, Elizabeth, Rice Cake, Lightning, Baiquan did it! It’s none of my business. I just played an insignificant role in it! It’s not me!”

Moments later, an ear-piercing shriek punctured the air inside cat nation, “Zhao Yao is awake!”
