I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 564: Chapter 224: Review Expert, Water Monarch, Can You Read? (5k)_2

Little Zombie held the phone and skillfully opened the comment section. With handwritten input, she meticulously typed out the review Sparrow Cat had given.

No sooner had she posted the review than, in less than three minutes, the phone started to ring.

”Boss, I’m sorry. The goods this time were indeed from another supplier. I’ve been so busy these past few days, I haven’t had the chance to try them myself. How about this: what do you say if we just refund you for this time, and when the new stock arrives tomorrow, we’ll send you a portion for free?”

”This batch was indeed far below standard.”

”Truly sorry about that.”

”Alright then, that’s settled.”

Sparrow Cat tilted his head proudly. Little Zombie then hung up the phone.

Wen Yan sat aside, watching the two with a somewhat speechless expression. He was feeling more and more that he’d missed many things by being gone just over a month.

”Which place is it? The owner is so generous?”

”The one at the end of the street.”

Little Zombie, holding the phone, hopped into Wen Yan’s arms and showed him the phone.

He took one look. No wonder this owner is so good at business.

Whatever this app was, Sparrow Cat was listed under the name ”Sparrow Cat Isn’t a Cat.”

Opening the reviews, Sparrow Cat’s feedback had an ever-soaring amount of likes, and he seemed to dine there almost every day.

He checked the freshly posted comment, and it already had a bunch of responses below.

”Cat boss has an eye for quality.”

”Fair’s fair. It’s true.”

”I second the comment above.”

”The big tomato Cat boss recommended last time was indeed delicious; it really tasted like tomato.”

”This restaurant is preparing to open branches now; the decline in quality control is severe.”

Wen Yan now understood. So that’s why that owner’s attitude was so good.

He looked at other reviews. There were comments for all sorts of foods, and almost every order was rated.

Whatever Sparrow Cat rated tasty seemed to have good monthly sales.

He reached out and rubbed Sparrow Cat’s belly.

”Now I know why you are getting fatter and fatter.”

Sparrow Cat sprawled on the sofa, stuck out his tongue, and remotely licked his belly fur, considering today’s grooming task accomplished.

Wen Yan was somewhat speechless but decided to let it go. He had no expectations for this one holding a job anyway; he’d just let him be.

He took the small box that Zhuge Wanjun had given him back to his room.

Upon opening it, he found a roughly one-inch long black animal claw inside. Its larger end, about two centimeters in diameter, was tied with a black string so it could be worn around the neck or hung by the bedside.

The protective effect was the same.

No wonder the Dream Tapir Amulet was so scarce. It turned out to be made from Dream Tapir’s claws.

The claw looked quite similar to a cat’s, hollow on the inside, with layers upon layers. The outer claw would shed over time.

However, the Dream Tapir’s claw was bigger and thicker, naturally taking a longer time to shed.

With just over a hundred Dream Tapirs in existence, it would be surprising if the number of Amulets could keep up with demand.

He hung the Dream Tapir Amulet at the head of his bed, then continued to practice martial arts in the backyard.

After entering the Third Stage, his progress was noticeably slower than before. He knew he still couldn’t afford to slack off and had to practice diligently.

At night, Wen Yan went to bed as usual.

This time when he woke up in his dream, he could feel an Amulet on his chest. The Amulet, which had not felt particularly powerful during the day, now clearly exhibited a special power in the dream.

This power contained a unique mark within it.

No wonder they say that with this Amulet, you don’t have to worry about accidentally wandering into the Dream Tapirs’ cafeteria while dream-walking.

With a wave of his hand, his bracelet flew to him. Grasping it, he soared into the sky and into the clouds.

Today, I’ll continue to torment the Water Monkey!

Soon after, he descended from the clouds, but this time he didn’t land directly in the water.

He appeared in midair.

In midair, a Divine Dragon swam through the sky. Below on the earth, a Giant Ape with a white head, green body, and golden eyes stood atop huge waves, grappling up close with the Divine Dragon, exchanging heavy blows that shattered rocks and stopped rivers.

The Giant Dragon retreated with a pained cry, let out a dragon roar, and then dark clouds gathered as thunder rolled.

The fierce and rebellious Giant Ape, one foot atop a mountain peak, reached out with one hand as if grabbing a great river.

In the blink of an eye, thunder poured down like rain, and the hundred-meter-wide river below turned into a shining silver whip, striking upwards to disperse the dark clouds in the sky.

Wen Yan floated in the air, watching the scene. Is this the Water Monarch in his prime, or am I just dreaming this?

As he pondered this, the scenery before him dissolved with the wind.

The Water Monarch sat on a mountaintop, his eyes shining with golden light. In a moment of distraction, Wen Yan was pulled down.

They just looked at each other, neither speaking a word.

After a long while, Wen Yan couldn’t help but ask, ”Water Monarch, do you want some wine?”

The Water Monarch’s mouth twitched slightly, showing some disdain.

”I’ll bring you some to try another day; I just don’t know if it can make it to you. The wine now is stronger than before.”

Wen Yan tentatively spoke a few words, realizing he wasn’t getting blasted for it.

He really had started to lose track of what kind of personality the Water Monarch had.

He remembered the scene he had just witnessed. That must have been the Water Monarch battling Great Yu before his subjugation.

He had seen many things he didn’t recognize in his vision, including numerous elephants, which likely lived within that region at the time.

Thinking back, the Water Monarch’s dreams, both times Wen Yan had entered them, depicted either battles before his subjugation or his state of being unbound.

Wen Yan couldn’t help but feel that the Water Monarch seemed quite pitiable.
