Chapter 232: Schadenfreude Really Does Lead to Trouble

“Ah!”

Cheng Chen, who was feeling happy, couldn’t help but open his mouth wide after hearing this. Cat Bro wouldn’t even reduce the price, so what was the point of him treating him to a meal? Wouldn’t that mean he’d be losing money?

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to treat me anymore? Then I’ll go back.” Seeing his astonished look, Li Li said as he made a gesture to leave.

Seeing this, Cheng Chen quickly tried to stop him: “Cat Bro, what are you talking about? I can still afford a meal.”

If he let him leave now? It wouldn’t be so easy to ask him for help next time. Who knows what price those other guys would offer?

So even if he really wouldn’t reduce the price, he could only accept it.

“That’s good, let’s go. Don’t stay here anymore, it’s a waste of time to continue staying here.” Li Li said.

“Hmm.” Cheng Chen nodded and left with Li Li.

Now that the competition was over, he didn’t have to stay in the preparation area and wait. He could go do his own things.

“Contestant Cheng Chen, what would you like to eat? Our Tiantian Strong Energy Cube Company has the latest compressed food essence technology. We guarantee that it will keep your beast full of energy.”

In the lounge of the competition venue, the person in charge of the company that provided food for the beasts saw Cheng Chen coming over and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

“Please give me four hundred pieces of each type of energy cube.” Hearing this, Cheng Chen pointed his finger at the energy cubes placed on the table and said.

“Ah? Our energy cubes here are not for takeaway.” The person in charge was stunned for a moment and said.

This guy was here to stock up, and he wanted four hundred pieces of each.

“Can’t I take them away? So you’re saying it’s okay as long as I eat them here.” Cheng Chen asked.

“Yes.” The person in charge nodded and said, “As long as you eat them here, you can eat as much as you want.”

“Alright, then Cat Bro, eat as much as you want.” Cheng Chen said to Li Li, who was beside him. Since he couldn’t take them away, it was up to Cat Bro to see how much he could eat.

As for whether it would leave a bad impression? Cheng Chen didn’t care. He would leave after the competition and might never come back here again in his life.

Since that was the case, why not do Cat Bro a favor?

“Okay, then this cat won’t be polite.” Li Li licked his lips and jumped onto the dining table. He opened his mouth wide and started shoveling the energy cubes.

Seeing this scene, the person in charge couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. A bad premonition arose in his heart.

Oh no! The Tabby Cat in front of him didn’t seem simple. Judging from his skillful movements, he was probably a big eater.

Glancing at Cheng Chen, the person in charge couldn’t help but think about whether he should stop him. After all, these energy cubes were allocated by the company.

If they were all eaten up in such a short time, it would be easy for the company to think that he was embezzling them.

“Crack, crack”

“Crack, crack”

While the person in charge was pondering, most of the energy cubes were already gone. Seeing this, the person in charge’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, “Contestant Cheng Chen, can you please ask your beast to stop eating? At least leave some for us.”

“Otherwise, our booth will be empty. When people come, they will only see an empty table.”

The company didn’t send them here to play, but to advertise.

If he ate all of their exhibits, what would they display?

“Okay, I’ll take him away right away.” Hearing the person in charge’s voice with a hint of crying, Cheng Chen hurriedly picked up Li Li, who was slurping the energy cubes.

“This cat is eating, don’t disturb me.” Li Li, who was picked up, shouted, expressing his dissatisfaction.

This guy wouldn’t take him out to eat something good, and he came here to freeload off the sponsor, and now he wouldn’t even let him eat his fill?

“I didn’t mean to disturb Cat Bro’s meal, but since they’ve spoken, let’s leave some for them.” Cheng Chen said as he took Li Li to the front: “And this isn’t the only one, we can’t be too absolute, right?”

“That makes sense, leave some for them. Let them come back tomorrow.” Li Li’s eyes rolled when he heard this, and he stopped struggling.

Cheng Chen’s scalp tingled when he heard this. Good heavens! Cat Bro really treated this place as a buffet?

If he continued to eat like this, there would be no beast food company coming to display energy cubes tomorrow.

“That Fat Cat can eat so much?” After Zhou Rong left the stage and came backstage, she was stunned to see Li Li eating like crazy in the exhibition hall.

What was going on with this Fat Cat? He had already eaten so many energy cubes before the battle. Now that it was over, he could still eat so much.

Could it be? A thought suddenly struck Zhou Rong. She knew that there were some special beasts that would accumulate energy and then suddenly use it during battle, greatly increasing their strength.

And the situation of this Fat Cat fit this point perfectly. Otherwise, with so many energy cubes in his stomach, how could he still eat so much? His size was only this big, and his stomach wasn’t really bottomless.

“Why is there nothing left again? These guys are promoting here, did they only prepare this much food?” Li Li, who had visited seven or eight beast food company exhibits, looked at the person in charge protecting the last product like a mother protecting her calf, feeling helpless.

Anyway, these were all for the beasts to eat, it was the same for whoever ate them. As for leaving so little here? He might as well eat it all.

“Contestant Cheng Chen, please take your beast away. We really only have a little left, there’s no more.” The person in charge, holding the energy cubes in his arms, said tremblingly.

This cat looked so cute, why was his eating so scary? He would believe it if he said he could eat people.

“Okay, I’m really sorry.” Cheng Chen smiled apologetically and took Li Li away.

Although he felt sorry for these people, he was actually glad in his heart.

Fortunately, he didn’t take Cat Bro out to eat, otherwise, even if he sold himself, he might not be able to afford the meal.

Whose beast ate energy cubes by the hundreds?

“Are you still planning to treat me to a meal? If not, this cat will leave.” Li Li, who was being held, stepped on Cheng Chen’s hand and said.

This guy was holding him, why was he touching him? He wasn’t a girl.

“Then Cat Bro, take care!” Cheng Chen immediately replied, not daring to keep him.

Otherwise, delaying for a second would be disrespectful to his wallet.

“Hmm? You’re so straightforward? You wouldn’t have been looking forward to me leaving, would you?” Li Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Chen when he heard this.

Although he wanted to leave, his answer was so straightforward, did it somewhat reveal his true thoughts?

Sure enough, he had no intention of treating him to a meal.

“Of course not, Cat Bro, what are you talking about?” Cheng Chen broke out in a cold sweat and replied, “What’s our relationship? How could I possibly want Cat Bro to leave? I definitely hope Cat Bro will stay, but since you said you want to leave, you must have something urgent to attend to. I can’t delay your important matters just because of my own selfishness, right?”

“I see, you have a point.” Li Li nodded thoughtfully.

“Of course, I’m the best to my friends.” Cheng Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

“Alright, then this cat will go back first. Remember to prepare the Comprehensive Network Currency. Otherwise, if you’re short even a penny, this cat won’t pay attention to you.”

“Of course, if you can find a cheaper one, you can pretend this cat didn’t say anything. But I think you should have already looked for it.” Li Li said, and Cheng Chen, who was just feeling lucky, felt his heart turn cold. He just wanted to slap himself a few times.

Why did he have to save money? Now it was good, Cat Bro was talking about money again.

It was only fifty thousand per match now, and next time it would be sixty thousand. Thinking of this, Cheng Chen wanted to discuss it with Li Li again. But Li Li had already turned into a ball of light.

“Rustle”

There was a rustling sound in the dense bushes, and then Li Li’s figure appeared in them.

“Meow meow~ (The sky hasn’t darkened yet, it seems it’s still early. Just in time to finish patrolling the school. )” Li Li muttered as he looked around, and then he started patrolling with small steps.

“Now the whole world is in turmoil, and our country is no exception. But judging from the situation in our city, we are currently the most relaxed group of stationed cultivators.” In the Blue Island City Cultivator Center, the leading bald male cultivator looked at the cultivators present and said.

Now all kinds of strange things were happening frequently all over the world, but it was peaceful here. It was like two different worlds, and it had to be said that it was indeed too special.

You had to know that cultivators in other cities were busy running around, but they could still hold meetings leisurely here.

“Yes, speaking of which, we have to thank that tiger roar from a few days ago, otherwise we wouldn’t be so relaxed.”

“Yeah, the roar of a Great Demon King. Even the most daring guys wouldn’t dare to come here.”

“That’s right, although it sounds like we’re boosting the enemy’s morale and dampening our own, but that’s the current situation. We can be so peaceful all thanks to him.”

The other cultivators present said.

“Alright, let’s just talk about this among ourselves, don’t spread it out, okay? Otherwise, if the higher-ups hear it, it won’t be good for us.” Seeing everyone speaking one after another, the bald male cultivator reminded.

The group of people who were talking hurriedly nodded.

Only then did the bald male cultivator start talking about the main topic: “The purpose of this meeting, besides telling everyone about the current situation in the country, is mainly because the higher-ups have issued a recruitment mission.”

“Hmm? Recruitment mission? Are we already so short of people?”

“Yes, although there are many talented people among the commoners, the higher-ups have never had any intention of recruiting people in the past. Why have they suddenly changed their minds?”

The crowd buzzed with discussion. They were either from various Taoist temples or Buddhist monasteries.

The reason they could be sent to major cities was because they had connections with the country.

Now the higher-ups actually asked them to recruit people from among the commoners, it seemed that the situation had deteriorated to an unimaginable extent.

“Although the higher-ups didn’t reveal it, the situation should be as you all think. So if you know any fellow cultivators or talented people among the commoners, you can invite them to join.” The bald male cultivator nodded and said.

Even if the higher-ups didn’t say it, they should have guessed it when the mission came down. Everyone knew it in their hearts.

“We definitely know some people, but now that the situation is so critical, it’s not easy to convince them to get involved, even if we tell them.”

“That’s right, anyone with a discerning eye can see that joining now is taking a risk.”

“Yes, we’re only involved because of our background.”

The cultivators present said one after another.

Rogue cultivators from the commoners were not like them, who came from sects with official backgrounds. They all made their way up through their own efforts.

Usually, the officials would suppress them, and now that all kinds of dangers were emerging due to the spiritual energy revival, they thought of them? They wanted them to join and clear the way, these guys were not that stupid.

Maybe these guys were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. Wanting them to help? Don’t be so naive.

“The higher-ups naturally know what you’re talking about, so this time they have specially opened up conditions that they can’t refuse.” The bald male cultivator said as he took out a list of exchange items and gave it to everyone:

“This is the reward list from the higher-ups. As long as the rogue cultivators join and make contributions, they can accumulate contribution points to exchange for the rewards on the list.”

“Although there are no heavenly treasures and earthly resources in the country now, I think you all understand the attraction of many cultivation techniques to rogue cultivators, right?”

“Therefore, I hope you can contact your fellow cultivators and contribute to protecting the local safety.”

“If the higher-ups are willing to offer these things, then we have some confidence in persuading our fellow cultivators.”

“Yes, the spiritual energy concentration is getting higher and higher. A good cultivation technique can help one get ahead. I think they will all understand.”

After reading the list, everyone said one after another.

“By the way, Captain, are the higher-ups only looking for cultivators? Do they want martial arts experts?” Huang Zhongda, who had finished reading the exchange list, suddenly asked.

“Martial arts experts? Zhongda, do you know any martial arts experts?” The bald male cultivator asked in surprise.

Martial arts did flourish for a long time when the spiritual energy was weak. However, martial arts was easy to learn but difficult to master, and it was even more difficult to become a martial arts expert.

Especially in this era, with the development of firearms, people rarely practiced martial arts anymore, let alone martial arts experts.

“I know one. Although we didn’t get along very well, he’s very young and his finger technique is extremely powerful.”

“Xiao Jin almost fought him to a draw last time.” Huang Zhongda nodded calmly.

Although the spiritual energy was reviving, they couldn’t underestimate martial artists. Those who could make a name for themselves in martial arts were all formidable characters. In a real fight, they might not have the upper hand.

“Really? Lǚ Jǐn.” The bald male cultivator was overjoyed and looked at Lǚ Jǐn, who was beside him.

Although martial arts was different from cultivation, they ultimately led to the same destination.

Lǚ Jǐn, who was being ignored, couldn’t help but frown when she heard this. She looked at her Senior Martial Brother with some resentment.

But even if she was reluctant, she still honestly answered the bald male cultivator’s question: “Yes, that guy is quite powerful. But now that the spiritual energy has revived, it’s the era of cultivators. Even if he can fight me to a draw, he will be left behind by me sooner or later.”

So what if he was a martial arts expert? Martial arts experts were no longer popular in this era.

This era ultimately belonged to cultivators.

“That’s true, but breakthroughs are not that easy.” The bald male cultivator shook his head and said to Huang Zhongda, “Since you know him, Zhongda, please go and see him.”

Although the spiritual energy had become denser, those who couldn’t break through still couldn’t break through. After all, when the spiritual energy was dense, there were countless cultivators who were stuck at the Qi Refining Stage for their entire lives.

They absolutely couldn’t become arrogant and complacent just because of the spiritual energy revival. This was a taboo in cultivation.

“No problem, I’ll go find him later.” Huang Zhongda nodded.

Only then did the bald male cultivator continue speaking with satisfaction.

“Meow meow~ (Not even a single hair, the school is so quiet. Forget it, this cat is going back. )” Li Li, who had wandered around for a while, curled his lips in dissatisfaction and left the school, heading towards the pedestrian street outside.

Soon, he stopped in front of a convenience store, his eyes fixed on the steaming braised food inside.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t eaten this thing for a long time. Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to eat it, it was mainly because no one bought it for him.

Now even the convenience store had it? Then he could think of a way to find someone to pay for it.

After all, with so many people coming and going, there should be some kind-hearted people willing to buy some braised food for a poor cat.

Thinking of this, Li Li dispelled the illusion that concealed his figure and appeared at the entrance of the convenience store, looking at the customers entering and leaving with drooling eyes.
