CHAPTER 672: CHAPTER 45 THIS CAT HAS AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE

Wang Guowei suspected he hadn’t fully woken up yet; how could another cat appear in his house when neither Li Yu nor he had a cat?

Speaking of Li Yu, Wang Guowei had also recognized that the pile of clothes on the floor looked like ones Li Yu had worn, but the latter was now nowhere to be seen.

Wang Guowei went to knock on Li Yu’s bedroom door. There was no response, and the door was slightly ajar; it swung open with a light touch.

Wang Guowei poked his head in and saw that Li Yu wasn’t there.

And not only was he not in the bedroom, he was nowhere to be seen in the kitchen, bathroom, or on the balcony either.

Wang Guowei scratched his head, grabbed a broom and dustpan, and started sweeping up the broken glass on the floor, then mopped up the water spills, but he had no idea what to do with the cat.

Wang Guowei looked at the Persian cat, who also looked up at him with a deep, mysterious gaze, then suddenly turned and jumped onto the sofa.

Its motion was elegant, but it misjudged the strength needed.

It jumped only to find its head level with the sofa. Despite stretching out its paws at the last moment, it couldn’t grasp the edge of the sofa and fell down.

Wang Guowei couldn’t help but laugh, feeling the cat’s intelligence was rather limited.

Li Yu certainly wasn’t of limited intelligence; he was just trying out the Transformation Technique to become a cat for the first time, unfamiliar with his new body.

He hadn’t mastered the strength for jumping, but after running around the room a few times, he slowly began to adapt.

Wang Guowei went to the bathroom to grab his toothbrush. While brushing his teeth, he watched the Persian cat jumping around and thought it was quite lively.

Worried it might urinate on his shoes later, he hurriedly took his sports shoes off the rack.

Although Li Yu had disappeared, the cat had appeared with Li Yu’s clothes and looked clean and not at all afraid of people, clearly not a stray.

Wang Guowei didn’t think of driving it away, he even went back to his room, grabbed a stick of salami, unwrapped the plastic, and put it in front of the Persian cat, while making indistinct chirping sounds.

Feeding cats is one of human’s instincts.

However, the Persian cat didn’t even look at the salami in his hand.

Wang Guowei chatted away to no avail and eventually had to eat the salami himself while muttering to himself,

"You’ve got character, I like that. Just wait, I’ll bring you a bag of catnip after work. I bet you won’t be able to resist it, haha."

After speaking, Wang Guowei changed his clothes and left for work.

Although Li Yu was also curious about how it would feel to eat catnip as a cat, he had to go to work today and certainly wouldn’t just wait at home for Wang Guowei to come back.

So, he canceled the transformation effect.

The next moment, Li Yu appeared naked on the sofa, supporting himself with his hands in a prone position, then a strong sense of hunger hit him.

The transformation was powered by his own divine ability, which didn’t consume faith, but evidently, it still used up some other energy.

Li Yu was already hungry before breakfast, and the transformation made his hunger worse.

Li Yu opened the refrigerator, downed half a gallon of milk, ate a piece of dark chocolate, and only after feeling a bit better did he put on his clothes and go down to the breakfast stall.

He ordered a bowl of tofu pudding with three fried dough sticks, then nibbled on a pancake roll, finally feeling a bit satisfied.

And he had maintained his transformed state for less than half an hour.

However, the ability of the Transformation Technique was undoubtedly very powerful, ranking it among the top ten rare divine powers on the divine hierarchy list.

This time, Li Yu tried transforming into a Persian Cat, but this did not mean he could only transform into a Persian Cat.

In the myths of both the East and the West, there are numerous records regarding the Transformation Technique.

These powerful transformers could freely change their appearance and could even become legendary monsters.

However, at this stage, Li Yu wasn’t capable of such feats; transforming into just a single cat had nearly drained him, and he had to rest a while before he could come to the office.

Zhang Yanlin had already arrived at that time and greeted Li Yu, asking, "Do you have a moment?"

"What is it?" Li Yu stopped in his tracks.

"The revenue for last month has been tallied, do you want to see it?"

Li Yu nodded, "Thank you for the hard work."

He took the printouts from Zhang Yanlin and glanced at the final figures—creation incentives from various platforms plus business orders amounted to less than thirty thousand yuan.

For a video channel that had only started not long ago and was still exploring niche content, this was quite decent.

Li Yu skimmed through the detailed data and told Zhang Yanlin, "Allocate fifteen thousand yuan as a bonus, the videos are created collectively. Let’s handle future earnings the same way, half goes into the company’s account, and half gets distributed immediately."

The more the Double Rest Sect developed, the more Li Yu found himself short of an expense budget.

But as he said, even though the other side provided ideas and scripts through Lu Weijia, the performance, shooting, editing, and post-production were still accomplished by the staff of Bratis Culture Communication Co., Ltd.

The money earned from the videos also couldn’t skip rewards, even if the share after distribution wasn’t much at this stage, it still served as an incentive, encouraging everyone to put more effort into their work.

As for the tens of thousands of yuan Li Yu had previously advanced, he wasn’t really short on money at the moment, so he could afford to cover it temporarily.

Zhang Yanlin nodded, and seeing Li Yu going upstairs, hurriedly said, "There’s another thing. Our views on YouTube have also been slowly increasing. Just yesterday, a British production company contacted me. They are very interested in one of the songs."

"Which song?"

"The Foolish Farmer and His Even More Foolish Goose."

"Oh."

"They want to use this song in a new historical drama they’re filming, asking if we have a signed music publisher and saying they are willing to pay a licensing fee. But I have no experience in this area and don’t know how to negotiate with them.

"Oh, their initial offer was four thousand pounds."

"I don’t have experience in this area either, no worries, just go ahead and negotiate," Li Yu said. "You might also call Che Haishen and see if any teachers at his school know the market."

"Whether or not it works out, and no matter how much money it is, it’s not a big deal. It’s just practice for the first time."

"Okay."

As the short video business gradually stabilized and even brought unexpected good fortune, it wasn’t only Li Yu, the boss, who felt reassured but the other employees also heaved a sigh of relief.

They were all satisfied with their current jobs; hence, seeing the company struggle to profit and Li Yu not showing urgency, the staff became worried, concerned the company might not be able to continue one day.

Fortunately, Li Yu finally came to his senses, and everyone worked together this time, aiming to generate more revenue to secure the company’s future.
