“I'm playing Closers World 2.0 and it's a fun, healthy, and wholesome game. Tonight at eight o'clock, if you're game, join me.”

Puff!

After looking at the video, Zhao Xue spurted out the milk tea in her mouth and coughed violently.

Zhao Yao walked over silently. Zhao Xue pointed at the person in the television and stammered, “He… he… he, he, he… he's playing Closers World?”

“Not possible. I only asked him to make an advertis.e.m.e.nt for me.” Zhao Yao hesitated and said, “No, he accessed Closers World during bedtime but he didn't play. He only made use of Closers World to save on sleeping time.”

Zhao Xue looked astonished at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was pleased and said, “What's the most important job in society? Being a good human. I'm of good character with integrity so I know a lot of people. Do you understand?”

Zhao Xue rolled her eyes as she did not believe a word of his.

Milk Tea came over with a box of tissues above his head. “Zhao Xue, why did you vomit? Is the milk tea terrible? Please wipe yourself.”

Seeing Zhao Xue take a piece of tissue, Milk Tea put down the tissue and took out a piece of tissue to clean the floor stains.

Zhao Yao said gladly, “Milk Tea, you don't have to do this. Zhao Xue, clean up your own mess.”

Milk Tea said, “It's alright, I'll do some work. Otherwise I'll feel useless.”

Zhao Yao smiled and squatted down as he caressed Milk Tea's head. “How's school? Are you used to it?”

Milk Tea said, “Hmm, next week's formal cla.s.s. I had a streaming examination yesterday. I streamed to Level 5.”

“Oh, not bad. Keep it up.” Zhao Yao looked at Matcha, who was sprawled on the sofa and asked, “Matcha, what about you?”

Matcha said softly, “Level 3…” He looked astonished at Milk Tea and thought, “Milk Tea's at Level 5? I'm only at Level 3. School's not for me.”

“Yes, what about Latte?” Zhao Yao asked, “He's weaker in intelligence. Is he coping well?”

Latte jumped onto the window sill and bounced as he ran towards Zhao Yao. He said happily, “Zhao Yao, don't worry, I don't need to study.”

“What?”

“I didn't go to the examination.” Latte was pleased as he said, “If I don't go to the examination, I won't need to go to school.”

“Incorrect.” Zhao Yao sighed and caressed Latte's head. “Silly kid. If you don't take the examination, you'll start from Level 1.”

Latte was surprised and asked, “I have to go to school?”

Zhao Yao ma.s.saged Latte's head and said, “Don't worry, the Level 1 cats are silly like you. You'll have fun with them.”

Latte avoided Zhao Yao's palm and said angrily, “I'm not silly. My IQ's 90! I tested it on the internet!” Latte left dejectedly.

He recalled Beef Ball's words. Fish Ball told Beef Ball that elementary school was used to by adults to torture small kids. The kids had to do homework until midnight. If they could not finish, they let their cats do the homework.

“Don't I have to do homework until midnight?”

Thinking of his bleak future, Latte became depressed and pondered how to skip school.

Zhao Yao ate his breakfast at home and returned to the cafe. He closed his eyes and his awareness flowed into Closers World.

He focused his mind and various data appeared before him.

“The number of players has reached 20 million. Very good.” He looked at the progress bar in the Book. Diana should be able to upgrade to Level 24.

After pondering, Zhao Yao decided to visit the alien cats' planet after Diana reached Level 24. He wanted to take a look instead of pa.s.sively waiting on Earth.

The situation on Earth was good. Closers World was developing steadily, all the countries were peaceful, the supercats were progressing in their lives. Even if Zhao Yao was missing from Earth, it would not create problems.

From Tom's information, the alien cats traveled in the Awareness Dimension and their awareness descended upon Earth.

Since they could travel here, Zhao Yao could also travel to them.

With Diana's ability, Zhao Yao was able to bring his body over and then set up a Dimension Portal. This would establish a permanent long distance link and he was able to bring supercats who were unable to travel in the Awareness Dimension to travel with him.

Soon it was dark. Zhao Yao exhaled gently. He made sure Tom and Strangle were not creating problems and Diana was still spying on them.

He examined his Book and Diana had upgraded to Level 24. Her progress was slowed down once again.

“Then… Let's begin…”

Zhao Yao vanished into the thin air as he entered the Awareness Dimension.

He traveled according to Tom's instruction. As compared to the speed in the material realm, traveling in the Awareness Dimension was much faster. It was a short while before Zhao Yao came out of the Awareness Dimension and arrived at a strange plain.

Four moons were hanging up in the sky. It was no longer Earth.

Zhao Yao took in a deep breath and found nothing amiss. He extended his arms and the weight was similar to Earth. This was a planet suitable for human's existence.

“According to Tom, this is Short Fur Tribe's home planet.”

Zhao Yao sized up the environment. “Though the Short Fur Tribe governed several planets, their numbers were less than humans or cats. As a life form that was imbued with power of awareness upon birth, their reproduction level was far lower than supercats on Earth.”

“Hopefully Doomsday hasn't solved their reproduction problem.”

“There should be plentiful of aliens on this planet.”

Zhao Yao pondered and used the Extradimensional Belly superpower to set up a Dimension Portal.

As he stepped into the Dimension Portal, he saw Uncle Egg extend his electrified paw. Rice Cake, who was tied to a cat dwelling, screamed pitifully. Cheese was at the side looking very worried.

Uncle Egg said, “Don't scream pitifully. I haven't started yet.”

Rice Cake said angrily, “I researched this on the internet. It's going to be painful.”

Cheese stood at the side and said, “Rice Cake, it's for your own good. We have to treat your internet addiction.”

Rice Cake said, “Ooooooooo! Cheese! I hate you!”

Cheese covered his chest as though he was stabbed and fell to the ground.

Roly Poly smiled merrily and said, “Don't worry Cheese, I'll console her. It's going to be alright.” He stroked Rice Cake's head and thought, “Can you feel it? Rice Cake's superpower DNA.”

Project X said, “Hmm, continue pressing and don't release your paw.”

Zhao Yao looked at the cats treating their internet addiction and rolled his eyes. He released Rice Cake's ropes and warned, “It's good to cut back on gaming but don't use electricity for treatment. Do you understand?”

“Zhao Yao's here!”

The cats were shocked and they fled in all directions.

Zhao Yao shook his head and returned to the alien planet. He had set up a Dimension Portal on the alien planet and he could bring himself, cats and humans to travel between the two planets.

After confirming that there was no problem with the Dimension Portal, he chose a direction and started running at high speed.

He wanted to find the inhabitants of this alien planet to find out from them more about the Short Fur Tribe. He wanted to see with his own eyes the levels of the powerful cats of the Short Fur Tribe.
