244 The Magical Oil Lamp ?

At the entrance leading to the dugout, the six muscular blokes stood in a straight line as they tried to enter.

With the tattooed-man, Ah Jie, leading the pack, he led the group down with a phone in his hand, "Boss, we don't have to fear this cat king's power with the phone's camera in my hands."

The teenager, Ah Shan, who previously accompanied Ah Jie in the expedition nodded his head violently and explained, "Yes boss, even though this cat king has an incredible power, it would not hold a candle against us now that we had exposed its weakness."

The man who was referred to as boss had a beautiful olive skin tone and donned on a tight-fitting black vest. He was also the owner of the gym. Most people referred to him as Fit Bro.

It was rumored that Fit Bro had an illustrious career as a Sanshou champion. Coming from a relatively well-to-do family, he had opened a gym since his retirement and had led a fairly comfortable life.

Since receiving this superpower, his interests in his gym's business had waned considerably. He had spent the majority of his time training his body and was the buffest man among them.

Fit Bro nodded along to Ah Jie and Ah Shan's words but still offered a word of caution, "Do not be over-confident."

Soon, the six of them had stopped at the cluster of rocks. On the phone's screen, it was simply an empty alley leading into the depths of the dugout. However, their naked eyes saw the rocks blocking their way.

The tattooed-man, Ah Jie, tapped the boss on his shoulder and asked, "Fit Bro, what do we do now? Do we just enter?"

Fit Bro shook his head and instantly shot down his idea, "Let's try to talk first. Resorting to violence is always a last resort. It is a God-given gift for us to communicate with these supercats. Let's not squander this opportunity."

He then took a step forward before announcing, "The supercats of Jiangmen University are you guys inside? I have come here to seek a partnership with you."

His thunderous bellow echoed down the empty alley. However, there was no reply at all. Fit Bro decided to cut to the chase and shouted, "If you are willing to join me, I will give you RMB 1,000,000 every year. This money will be more than enough for you to buy all the cat food, canned food that the world has to offer!"

Ah Jie and Ah Shan had already grown used to these promises to shower the supercats with an unfathomable amount of wealth. In fact, they had managed to convince a few supercats who had understood the notion of money. Naturally, there were those who still failed to understand the concept of money. They would only resort to violence if that was the case.

Even though Fit Bro had absolute faith in his abilities to force the supercats to submit to him, he would rather recruit them using a more diplomatic method.

He was somewhat worried that these cats were unaware of the power money wielded and continued to roar into the alley, "Money can not only buy you food. It can buy you all sorts of necessities that you need. It could be female cats, male cats, bed, beef, fish, phone, laptop, or even your own apartment. With money, you can have anything that you can possibly dream of.

Among all the apostles in Jiangmen city, I am the strongest and the most generous among them all. If you're willing to join me, RMB 1,000,00 is just the beginning. Money will just keep rolling into your bank account. You can do whatever you want in this city."

Actually, Zhao Yao was hiding in a corner, listening to all that he had to say. Zhao Yao's body quivered with indignation as he muttered, "D*mn it, so what if you're rich!"

Roly Poly's, which was cradled in his arms, eyes gleamed with excitement and mumbled, "RMB 1,000,000 a year?" His face was brimming with envy as he looked towards Fit Bro who promised him a fortune that he could never imagine. He then slid a condescending glare at Zhao Yao and muttered, "Without money, you will look as lame as Zhao Yao."

Zhao Yao then sprang into action after listening to all that they had to say.

From his eavesdropping, Zhao Yao had understood that they intended to keep 2 men at the foot of the entrance and the remaining four enter with a camera in their hands. They would be attached together with a rope tied to their belly.

Zhao Yao had no intention to stop them as of yet. Even with their meticulous plan, they would still succumb to the illusion that would take away their five senses. Furthermore, he eagerly waited for the exclamation marks to appear.

"Heehee, this involves both apostles and supercats. I'm sure I'll be able to find a mission amongst them."

However, after more than half an hour of waiting, Zhao Yao had already grown bored of witnessing the same thing repeat and repeat. They would enter the illusion which robbed them of their senses and faints instantly. Then, the remaining guys would pull them out before the process restarted. However, there were still no exclamation marks.

"These six guys are so persistent and cocky? Haven't they considered asking other for help?" Zhao Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and memories of his encounter with the Japanese flooded his mind. Finally, an idea sprang into his head as he thought, "These six guys need something to stimulate them, hmph … I can use them to experiment with my BOOK and try to identify a pattern." Zhao Yao clenched his fist in excitement as he stared at his six lab rats.

With the thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao flicked his finger and sent a wave of illusion swarming across from his body.

Even though electronic devices were capable of exposing the illusion, Zhao Yao could circumvent the problem by manually casting an illusion on the six individuals. By altering their sense of sight and hearing, what they saw on their phone screen would simply be another illusion.

In the world of illusion, the six men finally succeed in trespassing the dugout. They had successfully bypassed the area shrouded in darkness and was greeted by a throne illuminated by a tiny oil lamp.

Ah Jie was taken aback by what he saw and instantly hid behind Fit Bro and asked, "Boss, what is that?"

Ah Shan replied calmly, "It looks like an ordinary oil lamp."

A frown appeared on Fit Bro's face as he commented, "Check using your phone. Everything here might be fake."

Hence, the six of them whipped out their phone and cross-checked what their eyes saw with what the camera captured. To their surprise, everything was the same.

"This is real? At the end of these layers and layers of defense is just an ordinary oil lamp?" Fit Bro exclaimed as his body quivered with anger.

"Look!" Ah Jie explained as he pointed his index finger to a region below the oil lamp, "There are some words appearing underneath it!"

Suddenly, the words turned into a language which they could comprehend and it read, "Rub me!"

"Rub the oil lamp?" Ah Jie had an epiphany and exclaimed, "Maybe this is the magical oil lamp that would fulfill our wishes when we rub it!"

"How is this possible?" Fit Bro retorted with his forehead puckered together. He gave a dismissive wave of his hand and grumbled, "This isn't a fairy tale. Why will there be a magical lamp in the real world? I bet a supercat is behind this. Everyone, look around. Check and see if there are traces of the cat king …"

After issuing his instruction, the momentary silence was shattered by Ah Shan's scream as he pointed at the same place, "Boss, look, it's another line of words!"

"Rub me! Rub and I will fulfill your wildest fantasies!"

Exultation surged through Ah Jie as he could hardly believe his eyes. He roared, "Magical lamp, it really is a magical lamp. It is calling upon us!"

He immediately dashed forward but was intercepted by Fit Bro's thick arm, "Do not be rash … this might be a trap …" Fit Bro still did not believe in the existence of a magical lamp in this world.

After a round of deliberation, Fit Bro decided to test it out on himself. He reasoned, "Since I am the strongest and fastest among us, I will bring this magical lamp back and conduct a series of checks on it to find out what it actually is."

Silence enveloped the dugout and Fit Bro took the silence as a form of consent. He slowly ambled towards the magical lamp and cautioned, "Be on your toes, do not come too close to me. If anything happens, immediately drag me back!"
