Chapter 39: The Chat Group
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Elsewhere, 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.
Once at home, Matcha gave a cheer of delight and lied down on the sofa.
He said softly, “There’s nothing more comfortable than home.”
Elizabeth sat at her usual position near the window, silently hoping that Zhao Yao would give her a mobile phone.
Roly 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.
Zhao 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.”
Zhao Yao then went into the stray cats’ room. More than a dozen cats meowed and surrounded him as he came in.
“Be good, go have your lunch.”
Having 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.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yao licked his lips.
“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.”
Zhao Yao looked and realized that both Matcha and Elizabeth required 90+ points to level up to level 3.
Zhao 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.”
Seeing 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.
And amongst his current supercats, it was evident that Matcha’s ability was the strongest.
Thinking until this point, Zhao Yao hesitated no further and spent the experience points on Matcha, leveling him up to level 3.
Having 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.
Boiling Point: While time is frozen, the user is able to take in positive energy, resulting in the physical body doubling in speed.
Timeflow disruption: Send an immense power to disrupt the opponent’s sense of time.
Zhao 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.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yao decided to select boiling point.
After 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.
A 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.
“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...”
Thinking until this point, he landed a punch on the sofa.
Time resumed, and a boom came from the sofa, just like an explosive was lighted ablaze.
Zhao Yao punched the sofa once again, but the sound emitted was a far cry from the previous one.
“Indeed. Not simply increased speed, but when punches are landed at twice the speed, the strength would double as well. fre ewebn ovel
Faster speed, more strength, greater power.
Although he didn’t know the reasoning behind this skill, Zhao Yao’s power had increased a few times due to his faster movement speed.
With the strength of the celestial beats and the new speed from Boiling Point, Zhao Yao was becoming more powerful when time froze.
Roly 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.”
Zhao 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.”
Just 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?”
“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.
He then switched his phone on and checked wechat, and he found that Matcha and himself were indeed added to Roly Poly’s wechat.
There 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.
Once Roly Poly acknowledged their accounts to the administrator, the two were admitted into the group.
Handsome joined the group.
The Strongest Lu Ban joined the group.
As they entered the group, a few IDs in the group started chatting.
An ID called Meow Gibson, who was the administrator, said, “Welcome new members. Human or cat? Male or female?”
“Show your pictures.” Leopard Head said, “@Chubby Luban Assassin, your opponent is here.”
Another ID called number 1 dried fish fan said, “Another one who likes Mobile Legends? Great, we can form a team now.”
Evidently this number 1 dried fish fan and chubby luban assassin liked playing mobile legends.
Before Zhao Yao even spoke, Matcha had already sent a message.
The Strongest Luban, “Are you guys good, don’t drag me down. Let me carry the other 4.”
Zhao 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.”
Just then, chubby luban assassin replied, “Very wild, new guy. Do you know how many lubans I killed?”
The Strongest Luban, “Come on, let’s go for a 1v1.”
Chuby luban assassin, “Hahaha, brother, I can already see your crying face.”
The Strongest Luban, “Hehehehe, mister, I can already hear you smashing your phone in anger.”
Chubby luban assassin, “see you on the solo map. Loser calls the winner daddy.”
He sent out an invite after saying that. Zhao Yao looked over to see Matcha looking and pressing on his screen intently.
Leopard Head replied, “What about the other new guy? Handsome, why are you not saying anything?”
“Looking at this name, must be a pedigree cat?” Number 1 dried fish fan said, “why are all of them so narcissistic?”
Meow 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.”
Leopard Head said, “Then wait till he learns to type then we’ll get him to send his photo.”
Number 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.”
Leopard Head said, “Damn it, another order is here. I’ve got to go deliver stuff.”
Zhao Yao, seeing that a few people have gone offline, put down his phone and started thinking about the experience points.
“More than a hundred experience points remaining, I’ll use them on Elizabeth to increase her battling abilities.”
Although 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.
The two new abilities shown in level 3 were:
5 senses manipulation: During illusions, apart from being able to manipulate sight and sound, one of the other 3 senses can be manipulated as well.
Distance manipulation: Targets being manipulated by sight can now leave sight for up to a minute.
