“Black Phoenix…” Zhao Yao studied Black Phoenix"s news and thought, “He"s arrogant.”

Zhao Yao treated this news as internet sensations and celebrity gossip. He slept and entered his dream to practise his newly acquired silver level skill—Frost Dragon.

Ning Ning frowned at the side. “He"s sleeping again.” The next moment, she was happy again as she was able to play with her cell phone.

Zhao Yao entered Closers World and studied the information in the Book. Elizabeth was progressing well on the evolution bar and she could reach Level 20 by today.

He glanced at Tom.

Tom and Strangle were standing at the safety area of the revival point in the wilderness after being trapped by Gaia.

Strangle stood angrily in the revival point while Gaia and his men surrounded him outside the safety area.

Gaia"s body was golden in color and a pair of ten meter long wings floated behind him. The wings vibrated with his breath.

Gaia laughed loudly and shouted, “Shorty Strangle! Come out if you dare!”

“I"m warning you! Don"t let me see you in the wilderness! I"ll kill you every time I see you until you quit the game!”

Hearing Gaia"s arrogance, the green veins on Strangle"s forehead pulsated. He bit Tom"s neck and shouted, “This d*mn cat! I"ll following the connection of Closers World to kill him!”

Tom said in pain, “No Brother Strangle! Giggle doesn"t allow us to do that. If players die in real life from the game, there would be no more players.”

Strangle said furiously, “What"s Giggle to me? When I"m out in the streets, he"s still suckling breast milk! These primitive cats are killing me until I"m trapped at the revival point. If I don"t kill him in real life, how can I endure such humiliation?”

A terrifying and dominant presence descended from the sky. They felt the engulfing energy which was controlled by Zhao Yao in Closers World.

Strangle was shocked. “Such strong power of awareness!” He felt his awareness being pinned down by a supreme power. With a little pressure, he would disintegrate.

A voice flowed into Strangle"s awareness. “Brother Strangle, I"m giving you respect by calling you Brother Strangle. Closers World"s my creation. You may play in it but you have to follow the rules… is that okay?”

Feeling the overwhelming power brus.h.i.+ng his body like multiple tentacles, Strangle nodded in fear. “Yes, I understand.”

He thought in shock, “Did Giggle become that powerful after creating this awareness country? If I recall other cats… No, the more cats there are, the less each one obtains. To defeat Giggle in this awareness country, I won"t be the one doing it…”

Zhao Yao nodded his head. The energy in Closers World receded like flood water.

Strangle felt better and heaved in relief. He asked Tom, “Why is Giggle"s tone more ferocious than before?”

Tom said, “I don"t know. He"s been like this for a long time.”

Strangle casually asked as he did not see Giggle for a long time and he could not remember his voice or tone.

Gaia shouted, “Shorty Strangle! Why are you silent? Look who"s here?”

A female cat who bought a s.h.i.+ny Ragdoll cat skin walked to Gaia"s side and rubbed on him.

Strangle, who was glaring at Gaia, shouted in fury, “Sweetie! You joined their guild too?”

Gaia sprawled on the back of the female cat and laughed wildly, “Shorty Strangle! Even your female cat"s mine! If I were you, I would delete my account and quit the game! Why are you disgracing yourself?”

Sweetie said to Strangle, “Brother Strangle, don"t blame me. Cats climb towards greater heights. You can"t even afford the latest double eleven G.o.d of War"s costume. I have to follow Brother Gaia.”

Strangle fell to the ground in anger and his hair stood on end. He screamed as he charged out but was held down by Tom.

Strangle said furiously, “Don"t stop me! I"m killing them!”

“Don"t be rash Brother Strangle! You can"t defeat them!”

Strangle was even more furious but he was helpless. If he could defeat them, he would not be trapped in the revival point.

Tom consoled him and said, “Brother Strangle, Gaia"s powerful because he bought the double eleven G.o.d of War"s costume. Once we have it, we can defeat him.”

Strangle said, “Where do we buy this G.o.d of War costume?”

Tom quickly said, “Access the Commerce City pages. There"s a new double eleven G.o.d of War gift hamper. After buying it, you"ll have a chance to acc.u.mulate the costume fragments. Once you have collected 120 fragments, you can create the winning costume.”

Strangle stared at the gift hamper with his red eyes as he muttered, “I don"t have enough gold coins to buy it.”

Tom said, “Let"s earn some money in the dungeons.”

The aim of Closers World was to attract the players to play and not for their money. All the items in the games, including items from the Commerce City, could be purchased using the game currency.

Looking at the G.o.d of War gift hamper, Strangle nodded viciously. “Let me obtain the winning costume and I"ll deal with Gaia and Sweetie!”

Seeing Strangle leave to conquer the dungeons, Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. Strangle was quite addicted to the game.

Gaia"s job was to play with Strangle and defeat him once in a while. After that, let Strangle win one or two times before failing again. It was like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey to attract Strangle to continue playing.

Zhao Yao could spend the time to strengthen himself instead of worrying about the alien cat"s intrusion.

Zhao Yao activated Diana"s Nightmare Lord and entered Dreams within Dreams. With the help of Time Acceleration, he started learning Frost Dragon.

Elizabeth was progressing well in her level upgrades and Zhao Yao"s power was steadily increasing.

After spending a few days of learning in dreams, Zhao Yao returned to the material realm to practise Frost Dragon.

On this night, Zhao Yao sat on the sofa on Cat Island. He looked at Matcha, whose back was facing Zhao Yao and playing Mobile Legends happily. Zhao Yao focused his gaze. “Matcha has Time Distortion, I"ll experiment on him.”

A Level 49 awareness transformed into a white dragon and shot out.
