nElsewhere, Zhao Yao was evading all sort of cameras and surveillance systems while carrying his three cats. He managed to reach his Panamera, which was parked a few streets away. He eventually returned to the comfort and safety of his own home.
nOnce at home, Matcha gave a cheer of delight and lied down on the sofa.
nHe said softly, “There’s nothing more comfortable than home.”
nElizabeth sat at her usual position near the window, silently hoping that Zhao Yao would give her a mobile phone.
nRoly Poly was rather afraid and stood near Zhao Yao’s feet. Mango then came and inspected Roly Poly thoroughly, looking and smelling her. Clearly, this cat was extremely curious about the new cat at home.
nZhao Yao patted Roly Poly’s head and said, “The password for the wifi is xxxxxx. Remember to add me as a friend and join my chat group.”
nZhao Yao then went into the stray cats’ room. More than a dozen cats meowed and surrounded him as he came in.
n“Be good, go have your lunch.”
nHaving delivered them their lunch, Zhao Yao lied back onto the sofa and looked at the interface of BOOK. The mission regarding the Brotherhood had already been completed, and that granted him 200 experience points.
nThinking of this, Zhao Yao licked his lips.
n“Another 900 more experience points are required before BOOK can get to level 3. If the 200 points are used on BOOK, there’s still quite some way before it levels up. But if the points are used on Matcha or Elizabeth instead, they’ll level up right away.”
nZhao Yao looked and realized that both Matcha and Elizabeth required 90 points to level up to level 3.
nZhao Yao thought silently, “I would get more abilities in a quicker time if I level up BOOK, but it’s going to take too much time. By leveling up Matcha, I could rapidly increase battling capabilities.”
nSeeing that new supercats keep appearing in Jiangmen city, Zhao Yao felt compelled to gain more power. Power for him to protect himself, to protect his cats. Only by relying on abilities and power will he be able to achieve that.
nAnd amongst his current supercats, it was evident that Matcha’s ability was the strongest.
nThinking until this point, Zhao Yao hesitated no further and spent the experience points on Matcha, leveling him up to level 3.
nHaving leveled up from level 2 to 3, the skill tree opened up again. The level 2 skills had been selected previously, and there’s no way to go back to select them now. Zhao Yao turned his attention directly to the 2 skills available on level 3.
nBoiling Point: While time is frozen, the user is able to take in positive energy, resulting in the physical body doubling in speed.
nTimeflow disruption: Send an immense power to disrupt the opponent’s sense of time.
nZhao Yao inspected the introduction of the two abilities. The first one was very clear in its explanation. The effect will effectively double the amount of effective frozen time they have. The second one was more confusing. Zhao Yao didn’t understand what the disruption of sense of time entailed, and there was no further explanation.
nAfter thinking for a moment, Zhao Yao decided to select boiling point.
nAfter selecting the skill, Zhao Yao activated his ability. Seeing everything frozen around him, he moved his arm slightly only to feel himself feeling much lighter and more relaxed than before.
nA slight movement of his arm and his arm felt like a bolt of lightning in front of him. A few small steps and he discovered that he had already gone one round around the dining hall.
n“Not merely the speed of the body, but my thinking has also sped up.” Zhao Yao revealed a slight smile, “The only thing uncertain is the amount of strength which can be exerted…”
nThinking until this point, he landed a punch on the sofa.
nTime resumed, and a boom came from the sofa, just like an explosive was lighted ablaze.
nZhao Yao punched the sofa once again, but the sound emitted was a far cry from the previous one.
n“Indeed. Not simply increased speed, but when punches are landed at twice the speed, the strength would double as well.
nFaster speed, more strength, greater power.
nAlthough he didn’t know the reasoning behind this skill, Zhao Yao’s power had increased a few times due to his faster movement speed.
nWith the strength of the celestial beats and the new speed from Boiling Point, Zhao Yao was becoming more powerful when time froze.
nRoly Poly was shocked by Zhao Yao, grabbing onto his head and shouting, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me. Please don’t hit me! I already added all of you on wechat.”
nZhao Yao touched his head and said, “Don’t worry. In this house, as long as you don’t piss or defecate everywhere, there won’t be beatings even if you tear the sofa, or even bite wires.”
nJust then, a loud growl came from Roly Poly’s stomach. His eyes widened, and looked at Zhao Yao pitifully, “I’m hungry, can I have some food?”
n“Didn’t you eat back at the Brotherhood? Why are you hungry so soon?” Zhao Yao shook his head and took a small bowl of cat food for Roly Poly.
nHe then switched his phone on and checked wechat, and he found that Matcha and himself were indeed added to Roly Poly’s wechat.
nThere might be supercats in this wechat group, but the group was actually very casual and relaxed. It was just a group for everyone to chat.
nOnce Roly Poly acknowledged their accounts to the administrator, the two were admitted into the group.
nHandsome joined the group.
nThe Strongest Lu Ban joined the group.
nAs they entered the group, a few IDs in the group started chatting.
nAn ID called Meow Gibson, who was the administrator, said, “Welcome new members. Human or cat? Male or female?”
n“Show your pictures.” Leopard Head said, “@Chubby Luban Assassin, your opponent is here.”
nAnother ID called number 1 dried fish fan said, “Another one who likes Mobile Legends? Great, we can form a team now.”
nEvidently this number 1 dried fish fan and chubby luban assassin liked playing mobile legends.
nBefore Zhao Yao even spoke, Matcha had already sent a message.
nThe Strongest Luban, “Are you guys good, don’t drag me down. Let me carry the other 4.”
nZhao Yao rolled his eyes, looking at the members in the group and thinking, “This time, they couldn’t know who was on the other side of the screen.”
nJust then, chubby luban assassin replied, “Very wild, new guy. Do you know how many lubans I killed?”
nThe Strongest Luban, “Come on, let’s go for a 1v1.”
nChuby luban assassin, “Hahaha, brother, I can already see your crying face.”
nThe Strongest Luban, “Hehehehe, mister, I can already hear you smashing your phone in anger.”
nChubby luban assassin, “see you on the solo map. Loser calls the winner daddy.”
nHe sent out an invite after saying that. Zhao Yao looked over to see Matcha looking and pressing on his screen intently.
nLeopard Head replied, “What about the other new guy? Handsome, why are you not saying anything?”
n“Looking at this name, must be a pedigree cat?” Number 1 dried fish fan said, “why are all of them so narcissistic?”
nMeow Gibson then said, “He probably hasn’t learned to type. Leopard, have you forgotten the time you first came in? You could only make sounds no one could understand.”
nLeopard Head said, “Then wait till he learns to type then we’ll get him to send his photo.”
nNumber 1 dried fish fan sent a comical emoticon and said, “Quickly learn to type, newbie. There’s no way to survive in this world if you can’t type.”
nLeopard Head said, “Damn it, another order is here. I’ve got to go deliver stuff.”
nZhao Yao, seeing that a few people have gone offline, put down his phone and started thinking about the experience points.
n“More than a hundred experience points remaining, I’ll use them on Elizabeth to increase her battling abilities.”
nAlthough Matcha had leveled up and learned a new ability which allowed Zhao Yao to become stronger, Zhao Yao thought about the numerous abilities he watched in movies and anime and couldn’t help but to worry. Having given Elizabeth the experience points, she leveled up into level 3 as well.
nThe two new abilities shown in level 3 were:
n5 senses manipulation: During illusions, apart from being able to manipulate sight and sound, one of the other 3 senses can be manipulated as well.
nDistance manipulation: Targets being manipulated by sight can now leave sight for up to a minute.
n
