In the coffee shop, Zhao Yao was lying on the familiar chair. His conscious had already entered Closers World to collect awareness for evolution.

Once he entered Closers World, Zhao Yao felt that there was a strong energy surging into his body.

Elizabeth's progress bar was increasing drastically in the Book and she reached Lv11 in five minutes.

Zhao Yao frowned in dissatisfaction. This was slower than Matcha's leveling up.

“Looks like the attention of the players in the game is no longer on me.”

This situation could not be allowed to get worse. Zhao Yao decided to change something.

Then, a line of words appeared in the sky. Zhao Yao used his administrative rights to speak.

Zhao Yao wrote, “Everyone stop and listen to me!”

Countless people looked into the sky out of curiosity.

Zhao Yao continued, “I am envious of all of you, because you guys get to live in the same era as me!”

Not long after he spoke, Zhao Yao saw the increase in the evolution of the Book. He felt that the collection speed was fast again. It was about the same speed as Matcha's.

“Not bad. I knew that something had to be done.”

After breaking through the Lv10 limit and entering Lv11. Elizabeth had activated evolution and had become drastically stronger.

However, Elizabeth did not have a selection as to which direction he should improve on. Zhao Yao's a.s.sumption was that Matcha's powers emphasized both Time Distortion and Time Freeze from Lv1 to Lv10. But, Elizabeth's powers only had an emphasis on illusion, hence she did not need to select.

Starting from Lv11, Elizabeth's illusions were not only transmitted via sound waves. She could create an illusion from awareness energy by implanting it directly into their awareness.

It is also starting from Lv11, Elizabeth's illusion was improved due to the awareness energy. After someone was under an illusion, their bodies would have a certain reaction to the illusion.

For example, if they were stabbed in the illusion in reality, a wound would appear on their body too. If they were burnt in the illusion, there would also have physical injuries.

Injuries suffered in the illusion would be reflected in reality.

However, the percentage damage is not high enough. Lv11 only has 1% damage and Lv12 has only 2% damage. Even at Lv100 the percentage can only reach 90%.

Zhao Yao understood that this skill had a huge amount of potential. Afterall, illusions were more than ordinary cuts and burns. There were other endless ways to bring about harm and even if they would only have a small part reflected onto reality, it was still very powerful.

Zhao Yao was surprised by how strong Elizabeth was. He waved his palm and then his position in Closers World changed drastically. He was on top of a valley instantly as he observed the map.

“Let's look at how Strangle is doing…”

Then, he saw Tom and Strangle had two large golden wings on their backs and wore luminous gloves on their paws. They brought their tribe of supercats to fight with another tribe of supercats.

It was battle of tribes in Closers World

One side was the Short Fur Tribe formed by Strangle and Tom. The other side was Zhao Yao's cat, Gaia's tribe.

Both tribes had one similarity, it was that they only recruited cat players. There were no humans in the tribe.

When Zhao Yao made an announcement, he purposely left this area out, so as to not affect Strangle. Hence, they were still fighting.

In the fight, Strangle opened his mouth and released a shock wave. He yelled at the enemy in a distance. “Fat Cat! If you still do not come out, I will destroy your tribe today!”

Tom yelled behind him. “Strangle…”

“Call me Brother Strangle!”

“Brother Strangle, aren't we charging too much?” Tom yelled.

“What is there to be afraid of?” Strangle looked at his glove and said excitedly. “I can let my +12 claws have a taste of fresh blood.”

Zhao Yao was watching the battle in the sky and he saw that Strangle killed countless cats as he charged. Gaia was the last to appear and at first, they were comparable. After a while, Strangle had better skills and still won. Gaia yelled a few threats and escaped. The cats beside Strangle were praising Strangle continuously.

“Not bad.” Zhao Yao nodded. “He seems to be enjoying this.”

Although with Zhao Yao's capabilities, he could easily kill or capture Lv20 Strangle that would alarm the enemy unnecessarily and attract the mastermind behind Strangle and Tom.

Hence, Zhao Yao asked the supercats under him to play with Strangle. Especially with Gaia as the opponent. Everytime, he would just lose by a bit or sometimes even win. This was to let Strangle get obsessed with playing Closers World.

When Strangle was immersed in Closers World, he was also using Tom's way to gain attention and strengthen his awareness.

Strangle was immersed in the idea of being able to play, become stronger and acting cool. He was not even willing to report this back and involve the other cats in this.

When Zhao Yao saw that nothing was going wrong, he suddenly received a message on his Wechat. It was Uncle Ho.

Uncle Ho: “Zhao Yao, are you free? We need your help.”

Zhao Yao replied, “I'm not free.”

Uncle Ho continued, “It is just talking to our apostles. Teach them some things and boost their morale.”

Zhao Yao tugged the corners of his mouth. He knew that this wasn't this simple. With his position in the supernatural realm, any action that he took would be read differently by different people and create many political influences.

However, he was not interested in knowing. He really did not have the time to do it.

Uncle Ho continued, “Zhao Yao, we will not ask you to do it for free. You just have to come over and say a few sentences. There will be a production crew filming and there will be many overseas media reporting on this too..”

“Broadcasted on TV?” Zhao Yao hesitated. He has never been on a proper TV show yet. The thought of being able to go on TV was tempting. It could increase his fame and he would get all the limelight. It was also useful for increasing the number of players in Closers World, which in turn was useful for acc.u.mulating energy.

“Uncle Ho, I really don't have the time to…” Zhao Yao thought about it and rejected the offer. He needed to level up five cats to Lv25 quickly and unlock the upper limit of Lv25.

However, Zhao Yao stopped in the middle of his sentence.
