Am I A God?

After cuddling with Rice Cake, Zhao Yao decided to get into action and prepared himself for the game while Baiquan was busy preparing dinner.

After dinner, Zhao Yao lay comfortably on the couch with a contented smile plastered on his face. He exclaimed, "Baiquan, I want sirloin steak for dinner tomorrow!"

"Sure, I'll just go down to the market tomorrow and get some fresh ingredients!"

Meanwhile, Hanako was busy clearing up the utensils after their dinner. She shot a condescending glare at Zhao Yao and asked, "Zhao Yao, aren't you coming over to help clean the table?"

Zhao Yao simply gave a dismissive wave of his hand in the air and replied,"Which boss would clean up after themselves? That's what his employees are for. I just need the two of you to help me clean up. Lying on the couch after a satisfying meal is what a boss does. Baiquan, I'll transfer some money over to you. Remember to get some premium sirloin steak."

Since the value in his bank account skyrocketed, Zhao Yao had been rather extravagant in his daily expenses since it would not affect his monthly mission.

Hanako curled her lips in disgust and commented, "But you'll grow fat at this rate."

Zhao Yao replied, "Don't worry, I have superpower in my body which makes it impossible for me to grow fat."

Baiquan let out an awkward laugh and patted Hanako on her shoulders, "It's alright Hanako, you can go and rest too. I can manage this on my own."

Hanako took a step towards Baiquan and whispered into his ears, "I have never seen such a shameless person in my life."

Suddenly, Zhao Yao's ears began to quiver as he exclaimed, "I can hear everything that you just said!"

Hanako just turned around and stuck her tongue out at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao's temporary peace lying on the couch was disrupted when Mango came crashing into his body. Zhao Yao took a glance at Mango and asked, "Hmph, I hope you're not smelly."

Zhao Yao carried Mango at arm's length and started sniffing him from head to toe. Luckily, Mango's body did not emanate his usual stench. Only then did Zhao Yao allow him to rest on his chest.

Mango snuggled into his arms and growled comfortably as Zhao Yao's fingers ran through his fur. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was swiping across his news feed in WeChat.

The photo at the top of his news feed was a selfie taken by Elizabeth. It was not your usual selfie. Elizabeth stared at the ongoing traffic with a pair of longing eyes which somehow brought out melancholy vibes. Her eyes were like a pair of sapphire that had been jaded by the cruel reality of life which only further intensified the overall sadness portrayed.

Zhao Yao scrolled down to take a look at the comments.

The World's Strongest commented, "How did you manage to take such a unique selfie? I tried to bend my arms at every possible angle but I just cannot replicate your photo. The backdrop is not bad but the cat inside is at most average."

Lizzie replied, "Get lost."

Chubby Luban Assasin commented, "Lizzie, don't care about him. Remember to invite me if for your future photo shoots. I have a 20 megapixels camera phone and I am an expert at portrait photography. Furthermore, I can take any kind of photos regardless of how complex the angling is."

Godly God commented, "@Chubby Luban Assassin, can you help me take a portrait photo? Make me look as fierce and cool as a lion!"

Chubby Luban Assassin replied, "Just get lost."

Bored from their squabbles, Zhao Yao tapped on the notification on the group chat and realized that the cats were discussing the Cat King competition.

Godly God typed, "I have successfully earned the title of Bai Yun Cat King. I'm all ready for the competition!"

No.1 Dried Fish Fan replied, "I am also a cat king. Please don't go all out against me if we meet in the competition."

Leopard Head replied, "What the f*ck? When did all of you become cat kings yourself? Are you guys planning to win the competition?"

Chubby Luban Assasin typed, "Stop fighting your useless battles. There can only be one cat king and that would be my boss, King Hanada."

"King Hanada?" Omnipresent finally participated in the group's discussion and typed, "Isn't King Hanada Scar Eye? I mean he is strong but I don't think he is strong enough to become the cat king of the entire Jiangmen city."

"Hmph, Scar Eye is already a thing of the past." The fatso continued boasting, "Now my boss is King Hanada. His power is @5n21)(7:sdaww"

Leopard Head replied, "What the f*ck are you trying to say?"

No.1 Dried Fish Fan replied, "I'm sure someone snatched the phone away from him."

Godly God typed, "I don't care. I am bent on winning the competition and getting crowned as Cat King of Jiangmen city. Once I earn my title, I will impose a rule and make it mandatory for all female cats to shave their butt."

Leopard Head replied, "I concur! I support Godly God's claim as the Cat King of Jiangmen city!"

Godly God replied with an emoji and typed, "The presence of butt fur had hindered the progress of the cat civilization! This is a problem that would affect the prosperity of our great civilization! I will never shun away from this problem!"

No.1 Dried Fish Fan replied with a sweating emoji.

Sweetie Pie typed, "Oh my god, they are so disgusting and crude. Lizzie, let's just leave this group."

Meow Gibson, the admin of the group, could no longer allow this nonsense as he took a step forward and replied, "@Godly God, you are not allowed to spout nonsense in this group. I will have removed if your message contains too much sexual content."

Godly God replied, "What are you so afraid of? You are just a cat."

"Of course I'm afraid. In this day and age, cats can be captured and punished for anything that we do. Haven't you heard of the story about the cat who tried to drive a car? Apparently, someone exposed him and now he is caught!"

The group finally quietened down after Meow Gibson shared such a traumatizing story. However, the silence was temporary as Zhao Yao typed, "Anyone knows the rules for this Cat King competition?"

Omnipresent instantly replied, "I heard the entire city is split into 32 sectors. There is approximately the same number of cat kings within each sector. The cat kings within their individual sector would battle against each other one on one and the last one standing would represent their sector in the final 32."

Zhao Yao was taken aback by how well-informed this cat was. He thought, "Don't tell me this cat is the one responsible for this competition?" He continued by typing, "Do you have any idea when the competition is going to start?"

"Don't worry, I heard that an adorable cat would go around the entire city informing all the cat kings. However, there are still many internal squabbles and many districts have yet to choose their own cat kings. I think it would take at least a month before the competition commences. You don't have to worry."

Zhao Yao thought, "Don't tell me that you actually referred to yourself as an adorable cat." However, Zhao Yao was not so silly as to expose him to the group.

After a long day of eating, drinking and resting, it was finally time for Zhao Yao to return to his bedroom and start his daily superpower training.

Even though had had an advantage over other apostles with his BOOK, he understood that the key determining factor in all battles lied in how you used your power but not how strong your power was. Hence, he would dedicate a portion of his time before sleeping to hone his skills. This ensured that he was always ready for any fights.

Zhao Yao found this training extremely important after encountering more and more supercats. The society and world at large had changed radically and the only way to stay ahead was to constantly improve yourself.

"First up, it's time freeze …" Zhao Yao's forehead furrowed slightly and his body instantly teleported to a spot 0.5 meters away.

Next, Zhao Yao's body began darting across the entire room, leaving behind only his afterimages. His speed was unparalleled and normal people could only see the shadows he left behind.

After a round of warm-up, Zhao Yao moved on to the real training. With a high-speed camera pointing at himself, he proceeded to the kitchen with a vegetable knife in his hand.

Even though Zhao Yao had passed on his duties of preparing cat rice to Baiquan, he decided to help prepare the ingredients since he was going to practice his time freeze ability anyway.

He raised the knife in the air as his body gave a sudden and violent shudder. Immediately, a series of deafening explosions erupted in the air and the beef had been cut into 50 thin pieces, of equal thickness.

He only managed to achieve this with his power from "Three is better than two" and time freeze. When time was at a standstill, every movement that he made produced a force that ordinary people could only dream of.

If he had used the power to produce a punch instead of cutting beef, even Mike Tyson might not be able to remain standing within the boxing ring. He would most likely have been knocked out by the impact.

His body would disappear before reappearing at the same spot almost instantly. Every time he appeared, a thunderous boom would explode in the air. His knife would always remain in the same position whenever he re-appeared. This repeated for at least two times. At the end of it, the slab of beef had already been cut into 200 identical pieces.

Evidently, he had been using the knife during the time freeze to achieve this result.
