Zhao Yao heaved in relief after imprisoning the 40 supercats and making them play Closers World.
Seeing them exploring Closers World, Zhao Yao smiled.
In the accelerated ten years in Closers World, he had created functions to keep the alien cats under surveillance and to keep a lookout for life forms with high power of awareness in the game.
“Diana, Elizabeth, Catherine, the administration of Closers World will be your responsibility. Remember, watch over the alien cats. Don't let them escape from the Closers World.”
The three Ragdoll cats nodded obediently. During this period of time, Zhao Yao had shown his power, magnanimity, strong connections and earning capability and the three cats were in awe. They admired Zhao Yao and were loyal to him.
Zhao Yao looked at his Book.
After adding 40 Level 60 to Level 69 elite alien cats, the evolution progress in Book improved by the dozens.
At Level 25, Sphynx cat progressed at a moderate pace. Zhao Yao estimated that Sphynx cat could level up in half a day.
“Good.” Zhao Yao smile contentedly. He returned to reality and immersed himself in the smelting furnace. The Ultra Rapid Regeneration and the training superpower strengthened his body continuously.
As his awareness slipped into Closers World, he logged Sphynx cat's account for him to evolve. At the same time, he looked at the Book and smiled himself silly.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, 850 000 experience points. I have to plan properly how to use them…”
As he was pondering how to best use his experience points…
In the Cat Wonderland, Mao Mao who looked like Matcha climbed out the window and landed on the ground.
Looking at the boundless sky and smelling the air of freedom, he started tearing.
“I'm finally out of here. I, Mao Mao, have escaped!!!”
As Zhao Yao and his subordinates were busy, they had let down their guard of Cat Wonderland so Mao Mao found the chance to escape.
His adjutant floret cat shouted, “Boss! Stop being emotional, let's flee! They might discover and chase after us.”
Mao Mao nodded and ran with his adjutant to their Cao Gang's secret hideout.
When they returned to their base, they were shocked.
An orange cat that looked like Mao Mao usurped his position and became the new leader.
“S*it? What's going on? Is he Matcha?” Mao Mao was secretly observing. “No, he's not Matcha, Milk Tea nor Latte… D*mn, are orange cats that ubiquitous? Why are orange cats impersonating me?”
The orange cat looked over and shouted, “Who's that?”
A few minutes later, after being beaten, Mao Mao shed his fur and fled with his tail between his legs.
“This is infuriating! I'm going to look for Zhao Yao to avenge me!”
His adjutant said, “Zhao Yao would know we escaped.”
Mao Mao felt angrier the more he thought about it. If he knew he was going to be beaten, he would not have escaped. Why did he always encounter orange cats that looked like him?
His adjutant hesitated and said, “Boss, shall we… return?”
“We're well fed and we have a place to stay in Cat Wonderland. The humans licked our stinking legs and we don't have to fight over territories. That sounds like a good deal to me.”
Zhao Yao received the latest news feed from Doll.
“Zhao Yao, I did a basic check on the small little girl. The problem is huge.”
“What?” At the mention of the little girl from the Chaos Stronghold, Zhao perked up. “What's the situation?”
Doll and Zhao Yao activated their video feed. In the video, the small little girl floated in a large canister of solution while Doll's voice was heard in the background.
“Was the small little girl created by the alien cats?” Doll said. “She is… terrifying. From all viewpoints, she;s terrifying.”
“She's different from humans. Her const.i.tution's far superior to humans. She retained Lucifer superpower for more than 24 hours and there's no sign of returning the superpower. I suspect she will retain Lucifer's superpower permanently.
Her metabolism rate's high and requires high energy consumption per second. Hence I placed her in the nutrient canister. I'm afraid her lifespan's short.”
“Lifespan's short?” Zhao Yao frowned and looked at the motionless doll-like girl floating in the solution as he asked, “What other information do you have?”
“It's her mental condition,” Doll said. “I don't know how they did it but the structure of her brain's good. However, she has no reaction to outside stimulus.”
“Logically, an organic experiment life form like her should be curious about the outside world or she would feel frightened but she had no reaction. My conclusion is awareness or mental problems.”
“It's a pity. Time's short… with her current metabolism rate, at most in a week… she'll reach the end of her lifespan.”
Hearing Doll's sigh, Zhao Yao looked at the small little girl in the video feed and said, “Do you require her for your research for the remaining time?”
Doll said, “l've extracted blood and enough specimens from her. The truth be told… with my current technology, I'm unable to do research on her.
Instead of doing research on her, it's better to communicate with her and see if we could get information from her.”
“Communicate with her…” Zhao Yao nodded and said, “Do you have any way to do that?”
Doll walked to little girl and looked at her head as he said, “Perhaps we could think of ways to stimulate her curiosity… if she's indifferent to all things, there's no way to communicate.”
Ten minutes later, Matcha tied his cell phone to his head as he walked into Doll's laboratory.
The cell phone was showing the video feed of Zhao Yao's activities in Closers World.
As Zhao Yao's body required training in the furnace and Zhao Yao had to log into the Closers World to gain evolution progress for the Book, he let Matcha bring his cell phone to the small little girl.
Matcha walked to the front of the quarantine room and said to the girl, “Hey, little girl! Zhao Yao's here to see you!”
The small little girl looked at Matcha but her gaze was blank and she remained emotionless.
Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, “Matcha, let her see some videos on Dou Ying. Let me know when you are done.”
