“The damage can be increased by using power of awareness?”

Zhao Yao pondered. He could not resist transmitting his power of awareness to the saber and cutting himself.

A few minutes later, Zhao Yao stood up glumly and put back the Dragon Slaying Saber carefully.

“This saber’s…”

Zhao Yao understood the meaning of the 12 times increase in verification. Anyway, he was not going to test it again.

With the overlay of power of awareness, the Dragon Slaying Saber was now effective against supercats of Level 10 and above. With Zhao Yao’s Level 60 awareness, he could cause harm to other Level 60 or higher supercats. The supercats above Level 60 would have diminished damage due to their increased resistance. It was unlike before where there were no effects.

Zhao Yao looked at the Dragon Slaying Saber and thought, “This equipment… could be my most damaging weapon.”

He had only 11 Improvement Stones but he had Cat Prince Costume 7 and Dragon Slaying Saber 12. His power was upgraded and he decided to leave Closers World and take a look at his cats.

On the Cat Island villa, Zhao Yao opened his room door and arrived at the living room. There were no cats or humans around.

“Matcha and the rest are missing? I wonder if things happened while I was away.” Zhao Yao took out his cell phone. “Today’s the weekend and it’s not a schooling day. I didn’t see them when I passed by the Extradimensional Belly.”

Zhao Yao decided to return to the Extradimensional Belly and asked other supercats.

He swallowed himself and arrived inside the Extradimensional Belly. He took a few steps and asked a cat, “Lion Head, did you see Matcha and the rest?”

“Zhao Yao?” Lion Head looked at Zhao Yao and his fur stood on end. He looked in shock at Zhao Yao and screamed, “Zhao Yao!”

Zhao Yao grabbed the Lion Head’s skull and frowned at him as he asked curiously, “Why are you so nervous? Am I that scary?”

Kimchi pointed at Zhao Yao in shock and shouted, “Zhao Yao’s back!” Kimchi bolted without turning back.

The entire Extradimensional Belly went into chaos. Those who were eating, playing computer games, rolling around suddenly fled in fear as though they were frightened animals. They ran towards the Dimension Portals which they thought were the safest.

The Extradimensional Belly became empty, leaving only Lion Head struggling in Zhao Yao’s hands as his neck was firmly clasped.

“What’s happening? Why is everyone so afraid of me, as if they’ve seen a ghost?” Zhao Yao frowned and looked at Lion Head who had pretended to faint. He shook Lion Head’s body and asked, “I’m asking you. Stop playing dead.”

Lion Head opened his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t know! I don’t know anything!”

“S*it.” Zhao Yao released Lion Head’s neck and entered a Dimension Portal. If Lion Head was not willing to say, he had to take a look himself.

Zhao Yao arrived at the cafe.

Ning Ning was sleeping on the counter and the cafe was empty.

Zhao Yao patted the table in front of Ning Ning and asked, “Is the cafe alright?”

Ning Ning lifted her head and looked at Zhao Yao with disappointment. “Boss, you’re back…”

Zhao Yao was unhappy. “What’s with your expression? Disappointed after seeing me?”

“Hahahaha.” Ning Ning laughed in embarrassment. “No, no, I’m surprised and pleased to see you, boss.”

Zhao Yao asked, “Did you see the cats in the cafe?”

“Talking about the cats.” Ning Ning scratched her chin and said, “It has been a long time since I’ve seen cats coming into the cafe. It felt like they disappeared.”

Zhao Yao frowned and made phone calls to Bai Quan and Zhao Xue but in vain.

“What’s with them?” He left voice messages for them to return his call. Zhao Yao left the cafe and returned to the Extradimensional Belly. Then he arrived at Cat Wonderland Street via the Dimension Portal.

Cat Wonderland Street was bustling with a lot of people. Countless people were sightseeing, taking pictures, buying souvenirs and enjoying themselves. Most of them were tourists. Only a small number were apostles and members of some special organizations.

Cat Wonderland Street was no longer Cat Wonderland, which was a secret entertainment center for supercats and apostles.

Due to Zhao Yao’s heightened fame, the newly built Cat Wonderland Street was highly popular. After knowing Zhao Yao and the existence of supercats, they came to Cat Wonderland Street to look at supercats and carry or cuddle them.

Cat Wonderland Street became Jianghai’s tourist site. Everyday, numerous tourists, apostles and even supercats came here to see Zhao Yao’s supercats.

Zhao Yao arrived at the roof top of the original Cat Wonderland. He surveyed the crowd on the streets and smiled. Then he stepped into his office.

“Let me see… what those silly cats are up to.”

Zhao Yao did not find anything amiss in the Cat Wonderland. The business was prospering and there were more tourists. From the windows, the queue extended to 300 meters from the entrance.

There was a group of people raising placards and making a lot of noise.

“Objection to oppressive cat prostitution!”

“Down with sweat factories!”

“Capture Zhao Yao! Rescue the cats!”

Zhao Yao’s ears quivered and heard footsteps behind. He asked, “Where did those fools come from?”

Bai Quan stood behind Zhao Yao. He heard Zhao Yao’s voice and detected his smell when he entered Cat Wonderland.

Bai Quan said, “They are from a foreign supercat protection organization. They like to protest against supercats working.”

Zhao Yao asked, “Oh? Who’s supporting them? Why don’t you call the police to chase them away?”

Bai Quan said, “According to Uncle Ho’s information, they were supported by more than ten supercats. A few of the supercats were of prestigious status. Anyway, they were just protesting and they did not have any aggressive behavior, so I let them be.”

Zhao Yao nodded and asked, “Where’s Matcha and the rest? Why didn’t I see them when I returned?”

Bai Quan smiled wryly and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

…

Not long after Zhao Yao returned to Earth, with the announcement of Closers World’s upgrade, a few apostles received this message.

Up at Mount Qomolangma.

A barebacked golden-haired man walked on the snow.

He climbed Mount Qomolangma with his bare hands as a few mountain climbers held video cameras and followed behind him with fatigue and astonishment.

A member was shocked. “Strong, he’s very strong! He conquered Mount Qomolangma with his bare hands. This will be the new world record!”

“His physique’s more sturdy than a robot.” Another member commented.

“Ivanovic! The greatest mountain climber on Earth.” A member said, “I heard he was an ex-KGB agent. He became a mountain climber after retirement,”

“He didn’t use any apparatus or provision to climb the mountain. Even if he was strengthened by a superpower, it’s still incredible.”

“I heard he was training his willpower and he didn’t inform any mass media. If we didn’t meet him by coincidence…”

The golden-haired man stopped and everyone was puzzled.

The golden-haired man stood his ground and looked into the sky. Then he swiveled and started going down the mountain.

They asked in surprise, “Ivanovic, where are you heading?”

“Jianghai.”

“Why are you going to Jianghai?”

Ivanovic’s eyes glimmered. “To challenge the most powerful person in this world… and replace him.”

Ivanovic leaped with full effort, jumped headlong into the snow storm and vanished.
