Chapter 606: Splurging (1am to 3am)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With the rapid growth of the live stream’s popularity, Zhao Yao had already splurged on more than 600 rockets while Cat King of the West had splurged on about 400 rockets.
In the Jianghai supernatural prison, the Cat King of the West glared at the rocket count on the screen. He was so furious that all his fur stood up.
“Disgusting... who is this Peerless Suave Man? He has the guts to compete with me for Lilibet?”
As the warden of the supernatural prison, he was in charge of reforming the criminals and thus held great power. The Cat King of the West stayed in the prison daily and received a generous monthly income. He seldom spent his money and had a fat bank account.
However, as he was a fixed wage employee, the Cat King of the West was not as wealthy as Zhao Yao. At 400 rockets, he felt distressed as he could not sustain the rewards and stopped rewarding rockets.
Zhao Yao grinned when the Cat King of the West stopped rewarding the rockets. However, instead of stopping, he continued gifting rockets to maintain the momentum.
“I might as well reward Elizabeth with more rockets. Once her popularity soars, she’ll be able to advertise the catmint for me.”
It was Elizabeth’s first time having such a large audience on her live stream. She was at a loss and looked dumbfoundedly at the screen which was full of comments. She became nervous.
At this time, Zhao Yao posted a comment that said, “Lilibet, give me a dance.”
Elizabeth was exhilarated when the rocket count exceeded 500 rockets. However, she felt sorry as it was 200 thousand dollars that she had to share half with the platform.
She widened her eyes and said pitifully, “Boss, are you alright after spending so much money? Is it too much of a waste?”
Zhao Yao smiled, looked at the worried Elizabeth on the screen and sighed.Elizabeth has grown up. He posted a comment that said, “Not a big deal, instead of fretting, give me a dance.”
Elizabeth raised up her paws in embarrassment and clasped them together as she turned and twisted. “I do not know how to dance.”
“You can open up a video and follow the dance. Try that... the seaweed dance!”
The Cat King of the West grabbed the screen tightly, feeling excited and angry as he shouted, “Disgusting! Forcing Lilibet to dance!”
Elizabeth opened the seaweed dance video and danced according to the steps shown in the video.
The seaweed dance was a dance that had suddenly become popular on the internet. A dance that many cat lovers made their cats swing to. It was simple yet strangely attractive dance.
Elizabeth followed the video and did the seaweed dance. Her small paws turned and twisted as her fluffy fur wavered. The cute poses immediately invited a series of frenzied comments.
“Such an adorable kitten.”
“Chang Wei, didn’t you say you did not know martial arts?”
“Lilibet is so cute!”
“Lilibet’s fur is so thick and fluffy!”
“Ah! I can’t hold my pee after seeing this.”
Zhao Yao scorned at the last comment. It looked like it was from a tomcat. Is he peeing because he’s in a rut? These cats are too immature.
Roly Poly was also shocked by what he saw. Of course, his admiration for Elizabeth was part of it. More importantly, he felt a golden luminous path of great fortune appearing in front of him.
The Cat King of the West’s prison, the Cat King gazed lovingly at the dancing Elizabeth on the screen. He shifted his head closer and closer to the screen before finally extending his tongue towards Elizabeth.
On this night, the change in the Cat King of the West’s temperament also changed many criminals.
In the apostle cell, an apostle from the Japanese Storm Organization, Hidekazu Sato, turned and tossed sleeplessly. He abruptly opened his eyes, sighed and said, ” I suddenly have the urge to raise a Ragdoll cat. That cute little paw, petite nose, thick fluffy fur, and tender mouth...”
His words seemed to have struck similar chords. His roommate, who was also from the Storm Organization, Onitsuka, sighed as his thoughts collected. “I feel the urge to watch cat videos on the internet and imagine myself cuddling cats. Stuck in this prison, I have not petted a cat for a long time.”
At the other corner of the prison, Nessie, who was suffering from hemorrhoids, overheard their comments. Nessie and Sun Meng had previously been defeated by Zhao Yao. Nessie’s face broke out in cold sweat as he thought with astonishment, “What is happening? Why do I feel like... like boning cats?”
Nessie abruptly twisted his face. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead like tap water.
Pooh!
“This is bad! Nessie is vomiting blood again!”
“Warden! Warden!”
After Zhao Yao’s manipulation, the popularity of Elizabeth’s live stream grew exponentially. After the seaweed dance, Elizabeth pulled out a diagram that she had prepared and started promoting the catmint.
“Today, I am recommending a useful brand of catmint, Dust Ball Catmint.” Elizabeth held a normal looking packet of catmint in her mouth. On the packet, was a logo printed out by Bai Quan at the printing shop in the morning. The logo took the form of a black cat’s portrait.
“Summer is approaching soon and what bother cats the most?
Shedding fur. We all know that we shed lots of fur in summer every year. To clean up by licking oneself requires lots of time and effort.
What about at home? Cat fur is flying all over the place. This brand of catmint, Dust Ball Catmint, minimizes the pores and binds the fur to the skin. Hence, we do not have to fret over the shedding of fur during summer time.”
Elizabeth opened up the catmint and said, “Let’s see the difference between this brand of catmint with the normal ones. Firstly, the pellets are extremely fine which allows your body to assimilate it faster and more efficiently.”
She used her paw to grind the open catmint and put near her mouth to sniff. “Wah, this feeling... It feels as though my face has been splashed with hyaluronic acid.”
Zhao Yao was speechless.
“Elizabeth... what kind of preparation was that? What kind of research did she do?”
Finally, Elizabeth said, “After seeing this catmint for a while, everyone must be asking where to buy it. Let me tell you, this brand is not yet in production. However, in the lucky draw I’m going to hold later for the audience, you’ll have a chance at winning this brand of catmint...”
Zhao Yao stared with his lifeless eyes while watching Elizabeth’s advertisement. After it ended, he looked at the reactions in the comments and it seemed pretty effective. He intended to reward more rockets over the next few days as a publicity blitz. He wanted to boost the popularity of both Elizabeth and the catmint.
Dust Ball texted him, “Big White cat informed me that they are able to negotiate in three days, do we agree?”
“Oh, they brought it forward? Zhao Yao nodded his head and said, “We might as well... three days later.” He thought, “Good, I can advertise more during these three days and approach a few cat kings to settle the supply channels. If everything goes smoothly, we can start selling next week.”
