Am I A God?

0Dust Ball face sunk. Zhao Yao continued, "Of course, if you are willing to apologize, you will keep your position as my agriculture minister. All of my fertile farmland will be managed by you."     0

After hearing his words, Dust Ball hesitated.     

Zhao Yao doubled his efforts and said, "Haven't you always wanted to sell catmint? If you apologize sincerely, I will help you sell the catmint and you will not have to pay me."     

Red Packet was shocked. "Zhao Yao, you do not want our money?"     

"Nope." Zhao Yao thought, "I have billions sitting tight in the bank, the last thing I want is money." He looked at the burning exclamation mark above Dust Ball's head. "What I want is another chance at the lottery."     

Seeing Dust Ball's hesitation, Zhao Yao looked at Roly Poly, who was on his shoulder, said privately, "Roly Poly, help me convince her."     

Roly Poly looked at Dust Ball and said discreetly, "Dust Ball, agree quickly. He isn't in the best mood. If you do not agree, he might just burn your catmint farm."     

Finally, Dust Ball yielded and said, "Zhao Yao, will you help us sell the catmint?" Dust Ball thought, "Although he's unscrupulous, with his help, my success rate will be much higher."     

Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and said, "Tell me what you know…"     

After a long conversation, Zhao Yao looked at Dust Ball with satisfaction and said, "Dust Ball, do you require my help?"     

Dust Ball had received missions before. After hearing Zhao Yao's tone, she immediately knew. It seemed like there was a mission displayed above her head. No wonder Zhao Yao had his eyes on her!     

Dust Ball sighed, not sure whether to laugh or cry. Remembering the mission targets who had been helped, she could not help shiver a bit and thought, "If you'd have told me earlier that you wanted the mission, I would have capitulated earlier."     

She quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Zhao Yao, please help us sell the catmint."     

Mission: Dust Ball's Ambition     

Mission Objective: Help Dust Ball control the entire Jianghai catmint market     

Reward: Every increment of 1% of market share in the catmint market comes with a single lottery chance per month     

Mission Penalty: None     

After the mission appeared, Zhao Yao's eyes lit up. "Such a fine ability I have. This mission is generated very well, just what I needed the most."     

Zhao Yao was full of enthusiasm after the appearance of the mission. He contemplated the intelligence provided by Dust Ball and the rest. He went through it a couple of times, analyzing what he knew. The catmint in the Extradimensional Belly was grown using the Light of Creation. In terms of taste, texture, and nutrition, it is far superior to normal catmint. Logically, dominating the entire Jianghai market is just a matter of time.     

However… Zhao Yao turned his head and looked at the middleman cat again. Surprisingly, there is catmint that is better than Dust Ball's catmint. The only possibility is that the competitor has a supernatural ability to improve catmint quality. It is better to figure out the background of the competitor.     

At this thought, Zhao Yao said, "Prepare yourselves, we will look for that white cat to buy catmint later."     

"What?" Fish Ball asked extremely bewildered, "We are supposed to sell catmint, aren't we? Why do we have to buy some?"     

"Fool." Red Packet said, "This move is called 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'. We will pretend to buy catmint and find out the truth about the competitor and the reason behind their high-quality catmint."     

"Not bad." As Zhao Yao was speaking, he snapped his finger to activate his power of illusion, changing himself into an orange cat. "Let's go. Remember, I am your boss. My family business is coal mining. I'm very rich. Dust Ball, you are my secretary. Fish Ball and Red Packet are both bodyguards. Preserved Egg introduced us."     

…     

In a normal condo, the landlord and landlady were on the floor. They looked like they were sleeping.     

Midnight sat at the dining table, furrowing his brows as he scrolled on the computer, "Old K, any news about the Headless Horseman?"     

Old K was lying on the sofa, playing with his handphone. After hearing Midnight, he said, "No, it's not that easy. The goods have just started selling and haven't really rolled out yet. Moreover, we are unable to find him. Otherwise, we would not be making such a move."     

"Yes." Mushroom Head took out a bottle of milk from the fridge. He drank as he spoke, "If we had known that the Headless Horseman was so difficult to find, we would have sold all the goods via the shops once we arrived. Currently, we have no useful intelligence even after looking for so many people."     

He abruptly furrowed his brows and looked at the milk he was holding in his hands. "Ah, this is chocolate flavored. Can't this family just buy plain milk?"     

Midnight looked at the information recorded in the computer and compared it to the name list he held in his hand. He said, "It isn't possible to not have records before the Headless Horseman started."     

Mushroom Head took a bottle of yogurt from the fridge, nodded his head, and said, "Correct, the identity of the Headless Horseman must have been created after he fully developed his ability. Before that, he definitely left some trails… It's just that nobody has connected those trails with the headless horseman."     

Midnight scanned line by line all the information collected during the time before the Headless Horseman. He slowly said, "When capturing a murderer, the first crime scene is always the key to solving the crime. The same applies to the Headless Horseman. Every time he appeared, no trails were left so it was hard to find any real evidence.     

If we can find the locations where he appeared the first few times, at that time, he was not that mature and experienced… there should be some evidence left behind."     

"You found it?" Mushroom Head asked.     

Midnight shook his head and said, "The abilities that we know the Headless Horseman possesses include invisibility, power of illusion, teleporting, and force field. His first famous appearance was at the Cat King Competition. A few weeks before the competition, he had already appeared Jianghai city and was doing chivalrous acts. That was when he truly first appeared in the supernatural realm."     

He navigated the computer and opened up a few lists. "I compared King of Death's compiled list of supercats and apostles in Jianghai. There are two hundred and four targets that share those four abilities: invisibility, power of illusion, teleporting, and force field. From that number, fourteen of them have not revealed their true identities. Out of these fourteen, eight of them have not been seen since the appearance of the Headless Horseman."     

Midnight squinted his eyes and scanned numerous photographs. "The Headless Horseman could be any one of these eight targets. They are not easy leads as their actual identities and locations are unknown. The informants related to these eight targets…" As he was speaking, he compared the name list in his hand and circled a few names and then thought for a while. Then he circled Xiao Shiyu's name.
