Chapter 239: [cat House] And [childhood Trauma Series]
Ruthlessly dealt with the earliest batch (over 60) of First Generation Goblin employees who joined the Yuan Clan Group.
Seeing the Haunted House’s ‘power usage quota’ become available again, enough to support more projects. Only then did he satisfiedly push open the door and leave.
Looking up at the sky, it was drizzling continuously, not suitable for going out.
Calculating the time, A Miao, whom he had been thinking about, should have returned to Running by today.
So he reshaped the Uniform into a waterproof type, then opened an umbrella, strolled out, hailed a Taxi at the roadside, and headed straight to the Cat House.
On a rainy day, taking a girl (Frog Girl) to the Suburbs to step in mud sounded troublesome just thinking about it; but stepping through the mud on a rainy day to the Cat House to find Miao Miao was very romantic!
Thinking of that slender figure, ample bosom, pair of vibrant long legs, proficient in [singing, dancing, shoot], underground crime Idol girl. Yuan Zhu was full of anticipation for today’s journey.
Unfortunately, after bumping along the way and smoothly arriving at the Cat House, he was informed by a lazy Bar employee: “Boss is not home, went out on a Mission.”
This marriage fate is not strong enough yet.
Although a bit disappointed at not seeing Miao Miao, Yuan Zhu’s attention was quickly drawn to the Cat House Bar’s decoration style and the employees inside the shop.
This Cat House really has cats?!
As expected of someone from the village who went to a super Tier-1 big City, ‘working king returns, vision and pattern greatly opened’ success story?
The Cat House’s decoration style exudes a unique fashionable vibe from inside to outside. Completely different from Running’s dark and oppressive old industrial style; the extensive use of colorful Alchemical Lamps, a disco Layout 20-30 years ahead of urban-rural fringes… making the Cat House stand out, the most eye-catching Shopfront on Cat Street.
Of course, the fundamental reason the Cat House is the C-position in the nearby street district is still the series of ‘gray industry services’ provided by A Miao. Prohibited goods Transaction, Fencing Stolen Goods business, intelligence collection, Arms services, Smuggling fleeing, personalized Bank robbery custom private orders…
In addition, the ‘cat girl waitresses’ in the Cat House are also a major eye-catching feature!
Rarely coming here, Yuan Zhu wasn’t in a hurry to leave. It was still morning, the Cat House was deserted, with only some suspiciously looking guys gathered in booths, whispering, conducting unspeakable Transactions.
This scene reminded Yuan Zhu of Earth hometown in the 90s street corners, secretly opening coats to reveal dazzling discs: ‘Bro, want some butterflies?’
After looking around, he sat on a Chair in front of the bar, called over a Bartender girl opposite wearing a black-and-white retro maid outfit with a pair of fluffy dark brown cat ears on her head, and ordered an [Orange Fizzy Water. Mixed Weak Base Explosive Cocktail] for himself.
Although he had no idea what this was? But listed as the store’s most popular special Drink first, it should be drinkable, right?
The cat girl opposite smiled and served quickly, completing the Drink mixing, putting ingredients into the shaker one by one, sealing it, and shaking vigorously up and down. The soft-looking ears on her head also bobbed up and down with her ample chest, shaking along, very Chris Ting.
Unfortunately, when she poured the Alcoholic Beverage into the glass and turned to get mint leaves. Yuan Zhu regrettably discovered that the cat ear sister actually had no tail.
And cat girls like her, there were five in total in the Cat House, serving as Bartender poster girls, waitresses, cashiers… Additionally, there were several ordinary girls wearing cat ear hairpins, of course also with good Appearance, probably from senior student to Meng Xiyue level.
Snake Snake: “This Miao Miao really likes kittens, Boss, advantage with me! Let her control the Dark Big Cat (Tiger Demon)! Once your kitten true form appears, with such high purity, it’ll mesmerize Nie Yin, dizzy A Miao!”
At this time, the cat ear mixologist pushed the glass in front of Yuan Zhu, amid the strong orange scent and mint scent, mixed with a trace of pungent chemical smell. But the ‘chemical reagent taste’ that should be unpleasant, in fusion with orange and mint smells, underwent subtle changes, from pungent discomfort to an indescribable ‘special’ and striking.
This smell can’t be called bad, especially under fruit fragrance blessing, turning into a unique and distinct Memory, engraved in smell and brain.
“Customer, is there a problem? You’ve been staring at my ears.”
Yuan Zhu came back to his senses and spoke bluntly: “Your cat ears are very unique, are they real?”
The girl placed both hands on the bar, facing Yuan Zhu directly with a serious expression. Then, like blinking or sniffing, she controlled the cat ears to flexibly turn, and said: “See! Of course they’re real.”
Quite a lively personality!
Yuan Zhu pressed further: “Then what race are you?”
The cat girl rolled her eyes at him: “Standard pureblood Human, what else?”
Yuan Zhu looked incredulous: “Human? Your ears are cat ears, and that’s pureblood? You don’t have alien Magic species bloodline?”
The cat girl looked disdainful: “Just ears prove anything? Maybe among my ancestors, there was a cat person remnant from the Magic Universe? Or, some ancestor cultivated some Supernatural Powers, leaving pollution traces? But my Hospital checkup shows I’m standard pureblood Human, with Deviation under 20%. Just ears slightly different, and your Eyes aren’t normal either?”
Saying that, the cat girl raised her chin, signaling Yuan Zhu to look in the Mirror himself.
His pupils were also uncommon wine red, like wearing colored contacts or awakening zero-tomoe Sharingan. Making him in childhood often favored by girls due to unique pupil color, thus out of place with surrounding little partners (boys).
“Mine is maternal inheritance.”
Then he fell into thought, could it be that mom’s lineage also had some ‘Supernatural Powerhouse’ ancestor? After descendants’ Bloodline being diluted generation after generation, still leaving ‘unique pupil color’ as the final trace?
Unfortunately, his eyes were just ordinary Eyes, no Supernatural traces or Bloodline potential. Even eyesight just normal standard, not particularly excellent.
The only special thing was the good-looking color, impressive, very popular with opposite sex. In this aspect, his Younger Brother was even more outstanding.
The cat girl across the bar interrupted Yuan Zhu’s thoughts again: “Hey! Daydreaming bro, coming to Cat House to drink in the rain early morning, do you have a commission Mission? First time, no Experience, need me to provide service?”
“No need. Though first time, I’m good friends with your Boss. I’m here to find A Miao to pick up goods.”
Saying that, he handed over the card A Miao left him when parting. This card not only proved identity but also had ‘cargo list’ function.
The cat ear girl took it, read it carefully then returned it. Then pulled open a drawer, flipped out a ledger, quickly turned to a page by code Number, and replied: “Sir, your Goods, we’ve arranged to send to your designated Warehouse. Also, this batch we’ve reported in the Warehouse area. With Cat House’s name, no one dares mess before you transport. But after you take away, keeping it depends on your own ability.”
Yuan Zhu nodded: “Very reasonable.”
Because he wouldn’t transport this batch of Arms away at all, but directly move into Happy Home, then to Cicada City to sell, attempting to usher in a big Arms era!
At this time, he took a shallow sip of the [Orange Weak Base Explosive Cocktail], immediately putting on a pained mask. Intense Corrosion sensation from the tongue tip, an indescribable numbness, stinging, sourness, and sweetness Outbreak in the mouth.
“Hiss… what is this, so burning? I feel my tongue is injured.” His tongue now numb, twitching and slightly painful, with indescribable fresh fragrance and sweetness alternating Outbreak, like chain explosions.
Weird, too weird! Slightly painful, yet slightly refreshing.
The cat girl raised the menu, pointing to the Drink name: “Because added ‘weak base’, this dropped on tender skin causes Burning. Small amount mixed in Drink naturally intensifies Alcoholic Beverage flavor and mouthfeel. First time all react like this, get used and you’ll love it. Recommend sir order a Dessert, added with repair damage potion, corroding while healing, ice and fire double heaven.”
Yuan Zhu had no love for this Alcoholic Beverage, controlled Holy Light Particle to Outbreak in mouth, solving all issues, still leaving fresh aftertaste. Then, he refused the expensive Dessert, under the other’s idiot gaze, downed the whole glass in one go.
Intense stinging Burning sensation, mixed with mint freshness, strong orange sweetness, plus ‘fizzy chain explosions’ adding insult, continuous Outbreak in air; supplemented by Holy Light Particle suppression and repair.
That feeling, too sour refreshing, he even suspected just this one sip ‘wine’, some excellent and sensitive genius Sword Immortals could refine a Flying Sword.
At this time, he changed topic, chatted up: “What Mission did Miao Miao go on? Can you tell?”
“You can casually call Miao Miao Jie?”
Yuan Zhu straightened: “A Miao and I are [neck kiss friends]! Everyone family, I not only know she’s Knight System Supernatural. Besides this ordinary Transaction, she pre-ordered a large batch of Nightmare Layer Mushrooms from me for brewing. I see you’re a Bartender, should know this stuff?”
The cat girl eyes surprised, turns out not ordinary small client!
“Eh? You really know a bit. You have Dream Mushroom inflow channel?”
Yuan Zhu: “You understand this too?”
“I don’t, but I participate in brewing link. Miao Miao Jie has formula, core Technology, we just follow process. But Special Alcoholic Beverage has high strict requirements for Dream Mushrooms, next time bring many different varieties for Miao Miao Jie to select.”
After finishing drink, paying, Yuan Zhu didn’t forget to remind: “Got it. When A Miao returns, must tell her I came.”
The cat girl, seeing many such overreaching guys coming to hit on, perfunctorily nodded + saw off: “Okay okay, remembered. Go now! Advise you give up, our Miao Miao Jie won’t be fooled by stupid men!”
……
Leaving Cat House, Yuan Zhu looked up at the rain clouds not stopping soon. Silently gave up @Nie Yin plan to go Suburbs view land together.
So contacted the ready half-elf via Anti-Law, gave her one day to continue familiarizing with free ‘Shadow Power’. Her future work will inevitably deal with Shadow, enrich perfect Anti-Law built-in ‘Shadow. Frog-Type Technology’.
Additionally, Yuan Zhu heavily praised the other’s Frog Skin Wallet, and painted pie promising heavy funding for her independent R&D of ‘Shadow. Frog Skin Industry’. Preserve and amplify Nie Yin’s unique ‘cartoon aesthetic’!
Because he really appreciated! Really liked!
As long as develop [Shadow. Cartoon Frog Skin Wallet] series Product, not only won’t confiscate her Patent, but cooperate share, let Nie Yin fulfill dream, promote her personal exclusive works worldwide, create brand, let her earn big!
Behind this pie, Yuan Zhu thought of Captain’s ‘what good Business don’t forget Mao Mao King’?
Then perfect, new Anti-Law Demon God Cat King will develop a Underworld children’s Luxury Goods. Horror Cartoon Frog Skin Wallet, and co-brand promote with Mao Mao King, create a Childhood Trauma themed series.
Genius social-phobic autistic blackening designer. Horror Frog Killer Girl Nie Yin, just slightly act, can prove Cat King has endless wise ministers and brave generals. Human resources so rich, even proactively compatible match Mao Mao King for cartoon co-brand.
Getting ‘High-Ranking’ encouragement, reward via Anti-Law, and pie, Nie Yin experienced unprecedented ‘sense of being valued’.
Inexperienced in world, she instantly ignited!
Hurriedly ran to Laboratory for School cheap manual Frog Killer Girl, used own contribution points to exchange some neglected scrap ‘Frog Skin’, carefully collected them, then nonstop back to private Bedroom.
Used Anti-Law to control unfamiliar but harmless mild obedient Shadow Pollution, recalled usual operations, started ‘Shadow Version kneading, Engraving, sewing’ on these ‘Frog Skins’.
And whispered: “Follow heart voice, amplify aesthetic…”
…
When Frog Killer Girl was bewitched by Yuan Zhu, more firmly from hobby and interest starting, making some ‘Childhood Trauma Frog Skin products’.
Yuan Zhu also via Anti-Law felt the other’s high-spirited Fighting Spirit, struggle determination, affirmed ‘Satisfaction’, and Desire for next round praise and recognition.
Snake Snake: “Really an easy to PUA good seedling. Just mentality too unstable, too sensitive fragile. Once close contact and actively release goodwill, Affection Level drops fast. Boss you note, must frequent low-intensity tease then immediately distance, give buffer time, suppress to timely raise Affection, then release goodwill, repeated pull…”
Through manipulating and controlling Anti-Law, Yuan Zhu experienced Anti-Law Ruler fun from Nie Yin, so fun! So interesting! So happy!
Thus pleasant mood him, decisively turned back to Haunted House, decided to accelerate forging Second Seal while free.
“Decided! Liver out 2 Seal’s Spatial Ability in shortest time!”
Time passed… While Yuan Zhu continuously numbly refined Little Pumpkin, the ‘modified Orc’ sleeping nearly 20 hours finally woke in afternoon.
The instant it opened eyes, immediately triggered Anti-Law, also drawing Anti-Law Ruler’s attention.
“Eh? New toy to play!”
Yuan Zhu nearly vomited from Holy Light play, immediately shifted attention to Anti-Law.
At this time, he was in Attic, Orc lying on Second Floor resting, both so close, in his Domain (Haunted House) range. So no need to move, could observe Orc’s every move.
Whether from external overlook or internal micro view.
