Lion Head, Catherine, and Diana gathered around Milk Tea and stared at the small cat lovingly.
Matcha sighed and communicated with the three female cats privately with his consciousness, "This is so sad.Yesterday I brought him to find his parents but… their bodies were all rotten. Luckily, I managed to hold him back. I don't know how traumatized he would be if he had actually seen it for himself…"
Milk Tea stared blankly at the three female cats and said automatically, "Give me money please."
Matcha shook his head, "I heard from the old cat there that he tried to earn money every day to feed his dead mother, hoping that she would wake up after eating some food…"
Hearing Matcha's words, Lion Head, Catherine, and Diana teared up as their motherly instincts aroused at the sight of Milk Tea.
Milk Tea said blankly, "Give me money please."
Matcha sighed, "He's still thinking of earning money everyday to buy some food to feed his mother. As long as someone gives him some money, it will make his whole day. It's really… it's really too pitiful." As he said that he could not help but cover his mouth with his paw.
Lion Head said, as she whipped out her phone, "Stop talking, I'll send, I'll send some money to him now."
Catherine chimed in, "Me too!"
Diana added, "Give me the account number. I will send some money over too!"
"Milk Tea, don't be sad anymore. Things will get better."
After a while, Matcha brought the small cat to a corner and checked the money he received in his phone before laughing loudly, "Bunch of fools, I, Matcha, can easily manipulate them." He stared at Milk Tea in delight and said, "Good, Milk Tea, your survival skills are getting better. You've improved so much. Even if you do this yourself next time, you will be able to earn money."
"Really?" Milk Tea happily rubbed against Matcha again, bumping him with his head. Matcha rolled his eyes and licked him placatingly as he said, "Eh, now you have money. Do you want to buy anything?"
"Brother Matcha lick me a little bit more please."
"Besides that."
"The grass yesterday I guess…"
"How old are you and you're already thinking of dating? If you have time, go play some games. Stop having these wild thoughts."
"No, I mean I want to have some of that goat milk I had yesterday."
"Eh? You liked that? Couldn't tell that you like intense flavors," Matcha thought. "I think Zhao Yao bought some goat milk powder, I'll go find it for you."
Both the big and small orange cat walked towards the food inventory shelf in the extradimensional belly. As they passed by Roly Poly, Matcha saw him shaking happily as he giggled at the laptop screen.
Matcha's head popped out suddenly from behind him and asked, "What are you laughing at, Roly Poly?"
"Meow!!" Roly Poly covered the laptop screen in an instant as he flared his fur and glared at Matcha. "Why did you appear suddenly behind me? Gave me such a scare."
Roly Poly immediately asked, "Did you see anything?"
"No," Matcha narrowed his eyes and immediately activated time freeze as he thought, "This fatty is so secretive, there must be something going on."
Under the time freeze, Matcha laughed as he pushed Roly Poly aside and stared at the screen that he was trying to block their view of.
He saw that he was browsing a discussion forum where there were mentions of things like uncensored zones, censored zones, bare-faced stalker photos, and influencer photo sets…
Alas, during time freeze, Matcha was unable to use the laptop to open and view the contents of the discussion forum.
"What nonsense is this? What does all this mean," Matcha thought about it and decided to note down the web address of the site. "Catincat, hmm, I will check it out later."
Time resumed its flow as Roly Poly regained his senses. He was confused as he felt his body move slightly and stared at Matcha as he asked, "Matcha, did you use your powers?"
"No, why would I use my power?" Matcha pursed his lips and continued, "Milk Tea, let's go. I'll bring you to drink some goat milk."
Looking at the backs of both cats as they walked off together, a hint of suspicion flashed across Roly Poly's eyes. "Forget it. Next time when I'm working I'll just make myself invisible."
As he said that, his body flashed and he disappeared into thin air along with his laptop.
In invisibility mode, Roly Poly typed expertly on the keyboard. After half an hour however, he shook his head in dissatisfaction as he said to himself, "No, there's too little material here. I need to gather more."
At the thought of this, he turned and stared in Elizabeth's direction. He closed his laptop and grabbed his phone in his mouth as he walked over stealthily.
At that moment, Elizabeth and Diana were fuming as they stared at the computer screen.
"Despicable, someone is trying to defame me again. When will these guys ever get off my back?"
Diana frowned, "Sister, now is a crucial time for the Top 10 Broadcasters nomination. They're defaming us so badly that maybe it's done by other broadcasters?"
At the thought of that, Elizabeth panicked and immediately called Zhao Yao over, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, look! Someone keeps trying to defame me saying that I video call tycoons, take scandalous videos, and sell my photos for money. It's so bad now since a lot of fans have unsubscribed from my channel."
"Eh, there's such a thing?" Zhao Yao frowned and asked, "What's your ranking in the Top 10 Broadcasters list this time?"
"I'm number 9," Elizabeth screamed, "I was ranked number 5 at first, but my rank keeps on falling. I'm on the verge of being kicked out of the list."
Zhao Yao took out his phone and said, "I will dump 10 million into your channel again to snatch the number 1 spot." He thought to himself, "If I use 10 million to snatch the number 1 spot this will allow to me to complete most of Elizabeth's broadcasting mission right? I will be able to get another 1000 experience points, which is not bad, not bad at all."
Zhao Yao felt that he was getting richer and richer. With the help of Uncle Ho and the rest, he had amassed a total of more than 12 billion RMB in his bank account. He felt that he was about to burst with so much money in his account but had no chance to flaunt his wealth. He had to seize the chance to dump some money and relieve himself of that bloated feeling of having too much money in his hands.
Elizabeth was shocked when she heard that and immediately advised Zhao Yao against it, "Don't do that, 10 million is way too much money. The money spent will ultimately be pocketed by the broadcasting platform. Zhao Yao, there's no need to spend so much on this."
"10 million is not a big deal for me," Zhao Yao bragged pompously."The best thing about me now is that I'm super rich. As long as it's something that can be solved with money, I won't need to think of another way to solve it."
Elizabeth was exasperated, "Money alone can't solve the root of the problem. People will just think that I'm some tycoon's mistress. Even if I manage to snatch the top spot I might not have any fame left by then."
"Hmm, this is a problem," Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought for a while. The mission required Elizabeth to become a great broadcaster with a popularity exceeding millions, which meant that every time she did a live stream there should be more than a million viewers at least. If she snagged the first spot in the Top 10 Broadcasters but was suspected for using unofficial means that would conversely decrease her popularity, which might not be a good thing after all.
Zhao Yao nodded, "Alright, then I will dump one million to raise your popularity first. Explain to me this defamation issue in detail."
Elizabeth nodded and said, "Recently, photos of me in real life have suddenly spread all over the internet, with rumors that I have given birth before, had a few boyfriends in the past, sold videos of myself to tycoons, and now there are even rumors that I'm some tycoon's mistress…"
Elizabeth got angrier as she described the situation. Her fur flared all over her body, making her look like a puffer fish with long fur.
