Chapter 380: This Cat Walks the Straight and Narrow Path

“This is a sixth-order pill, right, Brother Cat?”

Matthew, after sniffing it slightly, asked in surprise. He didn’t expect Brother Cat to give him a sixth-order pill.

“Yes, you can take it and eat it. Strive to break through to a fifth-order creature soon. Don’t make this cat wait too long.” Li Li nodded when asked, then looked at his subordinates who were fighting.

“Okay, Brother Cat.” Matthew nodded upon hearing this and didn’t refuse. After all, Brother Cat had just killed two sixth-order creatures and was now incredibly wealthy.

Giving him a few pills was just a small gesture.

“Little Glutton, have you finished off the enemy?”

After a ball of flame flew in from afar, Hong Fu’s figure was revealed. Seeing that Li Li was actually beside Matthew, she couldn’t help but feel curious.

If she remembered correctly, this Little Glutton should have gone to deal with the other two Demon Kings, right? Why was he here?

“Yes, and I have to thank Little Matthew for stopping that Black Vulture for me. Otherwise, he almost escaped.”

Li Li, who was standing, nodded and pushed Matthew forward.

“It’s okay. Actually, I didn’t help much. Mainly, Brother Cat shattered that vulture’s physical body, only letting his Primordial Spirit escape.” Matthew, who was being pushed, scratched his head and said, looking very embarrassed.

He felt like he had just picked up money on the side of the road.

“That’s still your ability. If you hadn’t stopped him, wouldn’t he have escaped?” Hong Fu, who had landed, said with a smile, patting Matthew’s shoulder encouragingly.

“Exactly, Matthew.”

“You made a contribution, so be brave and take credit. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Li Li echoed, his gaze fixed on the dazzling sparks in the distance. He couldn’t help but mutter:

“What’s going on with that Moon Rabbit? Why is she making such a big commotion?”

“Not sure. Maybe she encountered a difficult enemy.” Matthew guessed upon hearing this.

Moon Rabbit was a high-level mechanical creation and her fighting style was different from theirs, so it was normal for her to create such a big commotion.

However, with most of the enemies already dealt with, why was Moon Rabbit still fighting? He didn’t believe she was really that incompetent.

“There’s not a single enemy there. She’s gone crazy, smashing the mountain for some reason?” Li Li said in annoyance after seeing a large section of the mountain wall collapse.

“Huh? Then she must have found some treasure. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be doing that.”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, “Don’t underestimate that Moon Rabbit just because she’s a mechanical creature.”

“Actually, she’s quite clever. As soon as she sees something good, she’ll immediately take action. Her greedy nature is just like Zhou Bapi.”

Since she was still bombarding the mountain peak without any enemies present, she must have seen some treasure.

“Treasure? What treasure could there be inside the mountain?” Li Li’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on the mountain wall, and he asked:

“Little Matthew, can you tell what kind of ore is on these mountain walls?”

Since Moon Rabbit was bombarding the mountain peak, the only explanation was that the mountain wall was made of some kind of ore, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t be doing that.

“Uh, I can’t really tell, Brother Cat. Don’t think I’m all-knowing.” Matthew said weakly. He mostly relied on the Comprehensive Network Mall to identify items.

Only a small portion was based on his own knowledge and experience. Brother Cat asked him to look at the mountain wall, but he needed to recognize it first.

“Alright, then it seems that Moon Rabbit has most likely found ore.” Li Li shrugged and said, but he didn’t have any intention of interfering.

After all, if she found it, it was her lucky chance. He had already gained enough benefits this time, and there was no need to compete with her.

“Have you all finished your work? Why are you still chatting here?” Mingmin, who flew over, asked curiously after seeing Li Li and the others chatting.

“Yes, we’ve already dealt with our respective enemies. Now we’re just waiting for that Leopard Demon to finish up.” Li Li nodded upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over her. After confirming that she wasn’t injured, he withdrew his gaze.

“Really? That’s good.” Mingmin replied, then her attention was drawn to the commotion in the distance.

Before she could ask, Li Li and the others explained to Mingmin what was happening with Moon Rabbit.

After listening, Mingmin didn’t pay attention to it anymore.

A short while later, Moon Rabbit came hopping over, looking very happy, as if she had just picked up money somewhere.

“Little Moon Rabbit, it seems you’ve gained a lot. What did you find in that mountain peak?” Hong Fu asked curiously when she saw Moon Rabbit approaching.

The others also looked over upon hearing this, expressing their curiosity.

“I found some rare ore, just what I needed, so I took some effort to collect it.” Moon Rabbit replied with a smile. These ores would cost a lot of money to buy in the Comprehensive Network Mall.

She never expected to get half a mountain of ore just by coming here.

It seemed that letting this fat cat be the captain did bring good luck.

“So that’s how it is. Congratulations, Little Moon Rabbit.” Mingmin said with a smile.

She knew that Little Moon Rabbit’s upgrade method was different from theirs. She relied on upgrading her mecha’s energy and body parts.

“Congratulations to us all.” Moon Rabbit said with a chuckle, then took out a piece of ore and stuffed it into her mouth. Follow current novels on noveⅼfire.net

Li Li couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye when he saw this. The way she gnawed on stones was really unreasonable. It made his own teeth hurt just watching.

He had to admit that she was indeed formidable.

“Reporting to Great King, all enemies have been captured. Please instruct Great King on the next course of action.” Just as Li Li was complaining, the Yellow Weasel came running over and reported.

“Oh? It’s all done? That was pretty fast. How are our casualties?” Li Li turned around and asked upon hearing this.

“Reporting to Great King! They lost over a hundred brothers, and over a thousand are injured.” The Yellow Weasel reported.

“Really? It seems the casualties are not small.” Li Li nodded, his gaze falling on the demons lying prostrate in the distance. He said:

“There are quite a few demons who dropped their weapons and surrendered, right? Let’s incorporate them into our ranks later.”

Although many of his subordinates died this time, even more demons surrendered. It seemed that they knew their Great King was finished, so they chose to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, following him. Thinking about it this way, he actually gained quite a few subordinates.

At this rate, an army of a million demons was just around the corner.

“Yes! Great King.” The Yellow Weasel nodded upon hearing this and immediately went to carry it out.

As for whether these demons would be ostracized by his original subordinates after joining the ranks, that was not his concern. This was the demon world. It was not shameful to admit defeat when you couldn’t win.

All demons were striving to survive by any means necessary.

“It seems you’re all done? That’s great. I was worried you were still in a fierce battle.”

A moment later, the Leopard Demon flew over. She looked at Li Li and the others gathered together and said with a smile.

“How could that be? Our team dared to take on the job, so naturally we have the ability.” Li Li replied with a smile, his face showing an “it’s just a small matter” expression.

What was the most important thing about taking on a job? Of course, it was to show the employer that you were awesome! Otherwise, why would anyone hire you?

“Yes, I’ve seen it, Brother Cat.” The Leopard Demon said with a smile:

“My subordinates have already taken care of all the trivial matters. Brother, would you like to come back to my cave dwelling and have a few drinks?”

“Let’s forget about it this time, Big Brother. You’ve just taken over this place, and you still have a lot to do. I won’t bother you at this time. I’ll come visit you when I have time in the future.” Li Li replied with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, the Leopard Demon nodded and said:

“Alright then. Thank you for your help, Brother.”

“You’re welcome, Big Brother.” Li Li smiled and waved his paw:

“I’ll take my team back now. If there are any more jobs like this in the future, Big Brother, remember to specifically look for our team. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed.”

“Definitely, definitely.” The Leopard Demon smiled, and Li Li and his team’s figures gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, the Leopard Demon breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she instructed her subordinates to quickly fill in the damaged ground and transport the fallen rocks away.

“Why are you guys following me back? Shouldn’t everyone be going their separate ways?”

Li Li muttered, looking at Hong Fu and the others beside him.

What was wrong with them? He said everyone should go back, but he didn’t say they should go back with him!

“What? Are you feeling aggrieved because we’re coming back with you?” Hong Fu said in annoyance.

This glutton didn’t even want them to follow him anymore. They weren’t going to do anything, just coming over to take a look, and he had such a big reaction.

“Of course not, it’s just that this cat has run away from home and is worried that you sisters won’t be used to living here.” Li Li quickly explained, not daring to say yes at all.

“What’s there to be unused to? I think this place is quite good.” Hong Fu looked around and said:

“The scenery outside is nice, and the spiritual energy isn’t too thin. It seems you’ve made a lot of money, little rascal, being able to take out such treasures so casually.”

“No, no, this cat only earns hard-earned money. I can’t compare to you, Sister. After all, you’re a highly respected alchemist.” Li Li quickly defended himself upon hearing this.

He didn’t want Sister to think he had made a lot of money. Otherwise, if she asked him for money, wouldn’t he feel embarrassed to refuse?

“That’s true, but my alchemy can’t compare to your looting speed. Don’t think I don’t know that you little rascal is in charge of looting, and Little Matthew is in charge of helping you sell the stolen goods.” Hong Fu said, shaking her leg, her gaze fixed on Li Li and Matthew.

These two little guys didn’t look big, but they dared to do such audacious things.

If they weren’t on the same side, she wouldn’t even dare to interact with them.

“How could that be? This cat just picked it up casually, okay? I didn’t rob them at all.” Li Li retorted, curling his lip.

“Yeah! And I didn’t help Brother Cat sell stolen goods. I just helped him sell things he doesn’t need.” Matthew chimed in.

“You two little guys are really in cahoots, aren’t you? Go check the Comprehensive Network forum and see your reputation for yourselves.”

Hong Fu rolled her eyes and said. Did these two little guys think they were being very secretive?

Little did they know that people had already noticed Matthew, the middleman. And with the fermentation of the previous incident,

these two little guys had already been labeled as “caution.” Didn’t they realize that they were quite unpopular in the Comprehensive Network? Especially this glutton, who even cheated his employers.

“Our reputation has always been quite good. Those are all slander from outsiders.” Li Li couldn’t help but say. He never browsed the Comprehensive Network and was too lazy to do so. Anyway, he didn’t have much interaction with the people there, so there was no need to pay attention to them.

Things like selling items and accepting missions were all handled by Matthew. He just had to wait. He thought it was quite good this way.

It didn’t disturb him, and he didn’t have to care about others.

“Yeah, people who don’t know us might misunderstand us, but you sisters definitely won’t.” Matthew added.

There were indeed some bad rumors about them on the Comprehensive Network, but he believed his sisters could definitely tell the truth.

“We definitely know you wouldn’t do such things, but we can’t stop so many people from talking.” Mingmin sighed and said, looking at Matthew and Li Li:

“You two little guys, even if you want to cheat and rob employers, do it more cleanly in the future. Don’t give people a handle, okay?”

“Meow~”

“Don’t worry, Sister. We know what we’re doing.”

“Yeah, yeah, we’re very clean.”

Hearing this, the elf and the cat nodded.

They were very efficient in their work, especially now that their strength had increased. They guaranteed that such things wouldn’t happen again.

“That’s good. Fortunately, there are many people in the Comprehensive Network, and they are skeptical people. They are suspicious of the rumors circulating, otherwise you two would be in trouble.” Mingmin said.

“Mm-hmm, we understand. Sister, please sit down and have some tea.” Li Li said, pouring tea for Mingmin with a teapot.

Seeing this, Hong Fu crossed her legs and tapped the wooden table with her hand. Li Li immediately picked up the teapot and poured tea for her too.

Hong Fu then sat up straight with satisfaction:

“You little rascal, prepare a room for me, okay? I want to stay here for a while. Also, give me your money, little rascal.”

“I’m going to go shopping, eating, and playing with Xiao Yun and the others.”

“Uh, giving you money, Sister, is no problem, but I can’t give you too much. I still need to save a lot of money for my Shovel Wielder to get married.” Li Li said, holding his wallet tightly while taking out cash.

Although he had some money now, he couldn’t give it all to Sister. He still needed to keep some for himself to buy food, and the rest would be saved for his Shovel Wielder’s dowry.

“I know, look at how nervous you are. It’s just a dowry, right? Take this, it’s definitely worth your dowry.” Hong Fu said with a smile, throwing Li Li a jade bottle.
