Chapter 706: Prohibiting Catmint

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhao Yao said, “Uncle Ho, it is about time to prohibit catmint. If you prohibit catmint and only allow me to sell, then, that will be monopolizing.

Uncle Ho was troubled. ‘Why are we back to the same question?”

He answered, “There is no reason for you to do so. Even if we have the money and the connections, we have to be logical. If we prohibit others from selling catmint and can’t provide a legitimate reason for it then resistance will be too huge.”

“Why is there no reason?” Zhao Yao explained, “More than half the supercats love catmint and catmint stimulates the cats. If a normal cat is stimulated, there is not much harm. At most, they run and roll around continuously. However, if supercats are stimulated and use their powers uncontrollably, it is potentially a very dangerous matter.

There would be no such danger with my catmint. The cats would be more comfortable and happy with it. There is not much stimulation and it would not cause the supercats to go crazy.

We’ll prohibit the normal catmint to sell Dust Ball Catmint for the safety and security of the country.”

Seeing that Uncle Ho did not reply, Zhao Yao thought about it and shouted, “Dust Ball, give me a packet of normal catmint.” After getting the catmint, he called Matcha. “Matcha, come here.”

Matcha brought Milk Tea and rushed over like a dog, he looked at Zhao Yao and wagged his tail. “Zhao Yao, what is it?”

The entire Cat Nation knew that Zhao Yao had thrown Roly Poly into cat prison yesterday. Naturally, Matcha knew about it. So, Matcha tried to boot lick Zhao Yao more.

Milk Tea asked curiously as he looked at Zhao Yao, “Matcha, who is this person?”

Although Milk Tea had been there for a few days, he had been following Matcha around and was unclear of the identity of Zhao Yao.

Matcha covered Milk Tea’s mouth and pretended to be angry. “What person? This is my boss, Brother Yao. You should call him, Master Yao.”

Milk Tea looked at Zhao Yao curiously and bowed obediently. “Master Yao.”

“So well behaved.” Zhao Yao smiled and stroked Milk Tea’s head. He pulled out a hundred dollar note and said, “This is for you to play.”

Milk Tea was puzzled as he looked at the hundred dollar bill. “What is this thing? Why is he giving me this?”

Then, he remembered what Matcha had taught him and said, “Transfer me some money.”

“What transfer? Don’t utter nonsense in front of Brother Yao.” Matcha hit Milk Tea on the head and told Zhao Yao, “Sometimes his brain doesn’t work well.”

Matcha kept the hundred dollar bill for Milk Tea and explained, “This is called cash. It is the most basic form of money. I will keep it for you till you grow up and return it.”

“Money?” Milk Tea looked at the money that Matcha held and was wondering. ‘Why does he need me to keep asking for a transfer?”

Zhao Yao smiled and took out the bag of normal catmint in front of Matcha and Milk Tea. “This is normal catmint from the market. Try it. I want to make a comparison with Dust Ball Catmint.”

Matcha nodded and sucked a mouthful of the normal catmint. When he saw Milk Tea at the side, he said, “This is called catmint. This is something good. Come try it.”

Matcha brought Milk Tea to suck the catmint. Matcha took a deep breath and let out a satisfying smile. Milk Tea followed suit, however, he started coughing loudly.

Matcha laughed loudly at Milk Tea and said, “Slowly. Don’t suck so much when you are new to it.”

Milk Tea took another mouthful carefully and he immediately felt dizzy. He made a weird expression and said, “This feeling... is so weird.”

Matcha was enjoying the catmint and said, “This is just normal catmint. If you like, I can bring you to suck Dust Ball Catmint. That is real enjoyment.” Then he took another deep breath and started rolling around.

Milk Tea giggled a little. “Mother.” Then he fell to the floor and started sleeping.

Compared to Milk Tea who fainted after taking the catmint, Matcha was a lot rowdier after getting HIGH. He first rolled around then he hugged Zhao Yao’s leg and started complaining.

“Zhao Yao, I was the first cat you owned.”

“I followed you since I was little.”

“But look so many of them are living better than me now.”

“Why?”

“Blargh...”

When Zhao Yao saw that Matcha was about to vomit, he kicked Matcha away.

Matcha rolled out several meters and started laughing. “I am coming, I am coming. Don’t worry.”

Matcha crawled up from the floor and walked unsteadily. Then, his body flashed. He had activated Time Freeze. He appeared a dozen of meters later, wobbled a few steps and flashed again.

Angry shouts could be heard from the group of cats in a distance.

Ares felt a weight on his back then a furry object came up and spasmed. He turned to see Matcha disappearing in a distance and was shocked. “What? Did Matcha just ...”

An orange figure flashed around and several cats yelled in pain. After seven or eight times, Matcha fell to the floor and was snoring away. There was a bunch of supercats surrounding him.

“This fellow!”

“He went crazy again?”

“Asshole, does he think that he can walk away?”

The bunch of supercats started to beat him up. After ten minutes, Matcha woke up and took a deep breath. “Why does my entire body hurt?”

Zhao Yao looked at the video in his phone and edited it before sending to Uncle Ho. “Look, this is the dangers of normal catmint. It can be this dangerous when a supercat gets out of control.”

Uncle Ho frowned. Of course he knew that there was a problem. It was like drinking. It is fine if an ordinary human is drunk. However, if an apostle was drunk and went crazy then the powers would the problem.

Uncle Ho still shook his head and said, “It is still very difficult as it will affect the ordinary humans. If we really prohibit it, we can’t possibly catch all the ordinary people with catmint in their house. How are we going to define the boundaries?”

“It is okay if you have it at home. We don’t need to take care of the people who buy. We just need to take care of the people who sell.” Zhao Yao explained, “Furthermore, the Dust Ball Catmint I sell is the best on the Internet in terms of price and quality. I am only affecting the sellers, not the buyers.”

Uncle Ho frowned and said again. “Physical stores are okay but what about online? Do they have to go your website specially to buy catmint? Catmint is cheaper than the shipping. You only sell catmint. If you sell it too expressive, no one will buy. If you sell it cheap and include shipping, then you pay more than you earn. A lot of people buy catmint along with cat toys and cat food.”
