Though he was concerned about his cats, Zhao Yao decided to go for his plans first.
He called the games company to place a message that attracted hatred on the official website. “As the sole developer of Closers World, boss of the game and old friend of all the players,
I’ve decided to upgrade the games server even if I lose money. I intend to increase the current 30 million users to 1 billion users.
The game’s servers would be shut down in three hours. The date of completion of the server update is unknown.”
The news created a furor in the gaming world. They discussed the shocking record of a billion gamers, the future of Closers World and complaints against Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao entered Closers World and upgraded Closers World according to the information he had analyzed.
Three hours later, all players were forced to go offline. Only Giggle was imprisoned in a small black hut.
Zhao Yao did not kick Tom and Strangle offline and let them continue playing.
The small number of players did not prevent the Level 60 Zhao Yao from upgrading Closers World.
Zhao Yao descended upon Closers World’s control room and his power of awareness amended the dreamscape structure.
“Higher load… faster speed…”
“And security system… firewall protection system…”
After an hour, Zhao Yao heaved in relief.
From Closers World’s appearance, no changes could be seen, however, the dreamscape structure was overhauled. The sturdiness of the Awareness Dimension was greatly increased and it was able to hold more awarenesses.
Zhao Yao’s knowledge of the awareness country and Closers World surpassed Giggle’s.
After upgrading Closers World, Zhao Yao informed the games company. He stayed in Closers World and logged into Dust Ball’s account.
Observing the efficiency of Dust Ball’s evolution progress, Zhao Yao nodded. When Closers World reopened and new users flooded in, the players count would reach one billion and the evolution progress of the supercats would be accelerated.
“With the current progress, Dust Ball will reach Level 25 in a week. The level cap will be unlocked.”
Zhao Yao stayed in Closers World. He managed Dust Ball’s account and accessed Book at the same time.
It was time for Zhao Yao to take a good look at Diamond Hall and equipment improvements.
“Let me see… 52 Improvement Stones. The Cat Prince Costume is a top priority for improvement.”
The level cap of the Cat Prince Costume was Level 60. He decided to improve it.
The Cat Prince Costume was improved once and it was +1 and had a defense increment of 10%.
Zhao Yao used an Improvement Stone on the Cat Prince Costume and a progress bar and a message jumped out and informed him of the improvement failure.
“S*it!”
“It’s alright. Steady, steady, I have to remain calm.”
Zhao Yao used another Improvement Stone in vain. The third Improvement Stone succeeded.
Cat Prince Costume+2: Defense increment of 20%
“+2 is better than nothing. I’ll continue.” Zhao Yao used another Improvement Stone.
The next two Improvement Stones were successful.
Cat Prince Costume+4: Defense increment of 40%, constitution increment of 10%
“After +4, a new effect showed up. It’s pretty good to have 10% increase in constitution.”
Zhao Yao returned to the material realm and felt the Cat Prince Costume tremble. The costume assimilated into his body and countless small hands massaged his body. Every cell, fibre, nerve, muscle and bone were tightly fused together.
Zhao Yao felt his body becoming more relaxed and he had greater strength.
Zhao Yao used another Improvement Stone… it failed and the Cat Prince Costume was -1.
Zhao Yao was furious when the costume went back to +3.
Zhao Yao slapped on another Improvement Stone in anger.
Failure… Success… Success… Failure… Failure… Success…
Zhao Yao’s eyes were red as he used the Improvement Stones consecutively and the costume reached +7.
Cat Prince Costume+7: Defense increment of 70%, constitution increment of 40%, absorb superpower+1.
“Absorb superpower+1?” Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up as this effect was good.
The Cat Prince Costume was able to store two superpowers and Zhao Yao could switch to any one of the superpowers. Zhao Yao felt that two was still too little.
After +7, he could store three superpowers and he had more choices.
When Zhao Yao was about to use his Improvement Stone, a reminder jumped out and he stopped.
“For improvements above +7, failure will cause equipment to be damaged?” Zhao Yao frowned. “Such a high risk?”
Zhao Yao remembered the new items in diamond hall. The Improvement Hammer required 10 diamonds and could improve +7 equipment without fear of damaging the equipment.
“The price for improving +7 equipment is steep.” Zhao Yao frowned as he thought, “I have to find time to find some diamonds and exchange for Improvement Hammer.”
He turned his head and looked at his Book.
He had 21 diamonds and 19 Improvement Stones.
The numbers were too low and looking at his luck, Zhao Yao decided to find more diamonds before improving the equipment.
After pondering, he decided to use his sizable Improvement Stones on the Dragon Slaying Saber.
Dragon Slaying Saber+4: Prohibition of superpower for 50 seconds after failing Dragon Slaying verification and weakening of awareness.
Zhao Yao slapped an Improvement Stone on it.
“Success?”
Zhao Yao used a few Improvement Stones as the saber was no longer used. Even if the saber was damaged, it would not matter. The Dragon Slaying Saber went to +12.
“Wow!”
“If only I had that luck just now…”
Zhao Yao did not know whether he should be happy or sad. The +12 Dragon Slaying Saber had two more effects.
Dragon Slaying Saber+12: Prohibition of superpower for 50 seconds after failing Dragon Slaying verification and weakening of awareness. The verification difficulty is increased by 12 times. The damage can be increased by using power of awareness.
