Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger

Chapter 28: Keeping an Eye on the Pot While Eating from the Bowl

“Fat Plum, you run pretty fast, I almost didn’t catch up with you.” The Lady Boss chuckled as she jogged over, taking out her keys to unlock the warehouse door.

“Swish”

As soon as the warehouse door cracked open, Li Li dashed inside.

“This chubby fellow is really efficient when he gets down to business. Work hard, I’ll buy you some treats later.” Feeling the wind at her feet, the Lady Boss couldn’t help but laugh.

From within the pitch-black warehouse, the shrieks of rats could be heard.

Then, Li Li swaggered out. In his mouth, he held a hefty rat, its neck dripping with blood, a clear sign it was barely clinging to life.

“Fat Plum, you’re so amazing, it only took you a few seconds to catch it?” The Lady Boss exclaimed, impressed by the tabby cat’s hunting prowess.

“Meow meow~ （This is just the beginning, you watch from here, I’ll catch them all. ）” Li Li declared, releasing the rat from his jaws and charging back into the warehouse.

Those little rats trying to play hide-and-seek with him? Did they know how fast he was?

Spotting a rat scurrying between the goods, Li Li leaped, using the merchandise as stepping stones, and extended a paw.

In an instant, his sharp claws shot out, embedding themselves firmly into the fleeing rat.

Blood splattered, and the rat’s shrieks echoed once more.

“Hmm, Big Fat Tabby Cat works so efficiently. Should I buy him fresh chicken? Or a big piece of pig liver?” The Lady Boss pondered, leaning against the door as the rat’s cries filled the air.

Another rat carcass landed at her feet.

“Meow meow~ （Actually, no need to be so conflicted, bring both pig liver and chicken, I won’t complain. If you’re willing to add a few pounds of pork? That would be even better. ）” Li Li declared, dropping the rat. These rats were well-fed.

His mouth was full of oily goodness. If not for his strong teeth, he might have struggled to sever their throats.

“Fat Plum, you’re so well-behaved, I’ll buy you pig liver.” The Lady Boss, who had been mumbling to herself, finally spoke.

As expected of a tabby cat, even with his chubby physique, he was still agile. Choosing Fat Plum to catch the rats was the right decision.

Upon hearing this, Li Li dove back into the warehouse.

This time, when he emerged, he dragged out a rat even larger than the previous two.

“Oh my goodness, such a huge rat? It’s a good thing you, my little darling, dragged it out. Otherwise, who knows how much merchandise it would have gnawed on?” The Lady Boss compared the rat’s size to her shoe and gasped in astonishment, finding her shoe smaller than the rodent. She patted Li Li’s large head and said, “Good boy, keep catching them, I’ll not only cook pig liver for you, but also add two big chicken legs as a reward.”

No wonder she had been wondering why the goods in the warehouse were so damaged recently. It was these big rats, no wonder.

Now with Fat Plum on the job, she believed the goods in the warehouse would soon be safe from their gnawing.

“Meow meow~ （If you’re offering such a feast, then I’ll get serious. ）” Li Li’s eyes lit up at her words, and he charged back into the warehouse.

He was a cat of his word. With such a generous offer, he wouldn’t dawdle.

After all, this kind of business could be long-term.

With so many restaurants in the area, rats were an endless problem. As long as two rats survived, within three months, there would be dozens or even hundreds more.

This meant he could take on jobs here regularly.

Li Li pondered, swatting at a jumping rat before biting down on its throat and heading towards the door.

He returned to the warehouse to continue his work. Soon, the entire rat family of over a dozen lay neatly at the warehouse entrance.

The Lady Boss was delighted at the sight and immediately went to prepare his reward.

“Fat Plum is truly amazing, you’ve solved the rat problem in the warehouse again. Eat more, don’t get skinny.”

At the entrance of the two-yuan store, the Lady Boss watched Li Li gnawing on the pig liver and chuckled.

This Fat Plum was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. Not only was he friendly and allowed petting, but he was also so capable.

If it weren’t for his wanderlust, she would want him to settle down here.

Who could resist a cat who allowed petting, cuddling, and even kisses, didn’t demand free meals, and could catch rats?

“Meow meow~ （Don’t worry, I won’t get skinny. I eat dozens of meals a day. ）” Li Li replied, his gaze suddenly drifting towards the beef noodle shop in the distance. He then sped up his eating pace.

He hadn’t realized the beef noodle shop had already opened, he had to hurry over and snag a free breakfast.

“Eat slowly, look at you, little kitty, as if you’ve never had meat before.”

The Lady Boss laughed, completely unaware that the cat in front of her was already eyeing his next meal.

In no time, Li Li finished his meal and dashed towards the beef noodle shop, settling down on the ground and resuming his routine of acting cute and begging for food.

“This fat cat is really greedy, isn’t he afraid of bursting? He just ate a pound of pig liver and two chicken legs, and now he’s running over there to eat noodles.” The Lady Boss was speechless at the sight. This cat was really agile, running off to the opposite side without even saying goodbye after finishing his meal.

And judging by his ravenous eating, he wasn’t afraid of overeating at all.

No wonder he was so fat, eating so much every day. It would be a miracle if he didn’t gain weight.

“Big Fat Raccoon Cat, you’re quite punctual today. Don’t tell me you’ve been calculating the time and waiting outside my shop?” Inside the beef noodle shop, the owner spoke as he watched Li Li slurping down noodles.

He had only fed this fat tabby cat once, and now it came every day, treating his place as a free canteen. He never said his shop was a charity, did he?

If this went on, he would have to make this fat cat work to pay off his noodle debt.

This fat cat was living the good life, getting free food and drinks every day.

“Meow meow~ （Don’t slander a cat, will you? How could I possibly only target your shop? I clearly keep an eye on several shops at once. ）” Li Li retorted, raising his head to look at the owner.

Did he think he was a cat without ambition? Only staring at one shop? He was a cat with a broad mind and grand aspirations, of course he kept an eye on several shops.

“What’s with that look?” The owner tapped Li Li’s big head with his index finger.

“Boss, one bowl of beef noodles, less coriander, more scallions, no chili. I want the broth clear, add a soft-boiled egg. Please blanch the beef, don’t add it directly.” A voice came from the door.

Both Li Li and the owner turned their heads towards the sound.

“Beautiful lady, what did you say? I didn’t quite catch that, could you repeat it?”

“Meow meow~ （Me neither. ）”
