"Heal me! Heal me! I'm running out of HP!"
"Who asked you to pull in so many mobs!?"
"DPSers, dodge! The mages will die!"
In a small room, four supercats were standing in front of a computer and making a ruckus as they played the game seriously.
At that moment, a cell phone rang. The Frost cat, Ace, said with annoyance, "Who's going to answer the call?"
The Divination cat, Merlin, scoffed and said, "It must be Steven. Anthony, take the call."
Anthony was angered. "Why should I?"
"Because you died."
Anthony had no choice but to answer the call. He typed and sent a voice message which read, "Steven?"
Steven sent a voice message back. He spoke in an angry tone. "Anthony, why did you guys take so long to answer the call? I knocked five out already!"
Anthony replied guilty, "We are working now. You know how we had to rebuild the Star Cats after Zhao Yao left. We are very busy now."
"You guys aren't playing games right?" Steven asked suspiciously.
"How can that be! What kind of cats do you think we are?" Anthony's typing speed started to increase. "Merlin and I are researching on how to upgrade our superpowers to defeat Zhao Yao!"
"Okay, I wrongfully blamed you guys. I apologise." Steven shook his head and continued, "I have bad news to tell you. After Zhao Yao disappeared for one whole week, he appeared again half an hour ago and wrecked one of our bases in Maine. I think you guys should prepare to relocate anytime now."
"Ah? This guy is back?" Anthony shouted towards the room, "Zhao Yao is back in the US!"
The whole room flew into frenzy at once. The four cats hugged each other in fear and alarm, dropping cat fur all over the floor.
The Mass Transfer cat, Anthony, exclaimed, "What should we do! God knows how much things he's going to steal from us this time!"
The Divination cat, Merlin, said, "Calm down guys. Calm down. Everyone lick your fur first and calm yourselves down."
Frost cat, Ace, licked his fur, paws, chest, and stomach fervently as he said, "There's no way out! We can't beat him in battle but we can't all hide either, given how big the Star Cats is with so many people and so many cats."
Arthur, another supercat, chimed in, "Since we can't beat him in a fight and he can't find us, just let him take whatever he wants. Speaking of that, there is a newly released dungeon. Have you guys raided it?"
Merlin agreed, "Yeah, he can't find us anyway."
Anthony nodded. "Instead of worrying blindly, let's be the first to raid the dungeon."
The Frost cat, Ace, raised his small paw and said, "I agree. Let's play a game first to soothe our nerves. We'll think of way we feel better."
"That's right. How can we think of a strategy to counter this problem when we are all so flustered? Let's calm ourselves down first."
The four supercats panicked for a while before they returned to their own computer desks and prepared to play the game.
However, the moment they joined the game, they received a private message, "Anthony, are you playing games? I am Steve!"
Anthony immediately replied, "I'm a game booster!"
Steve replied, "Stop playing! Zhao Yao is already here and you guys are still in the mood to play games? Keep your guard up and prepare to transfer at anytime now."
Anthony replied: "( ゚́Д゚`)"
Steve: "Don't act pitiful in front of me. Quick, go offline now. I will send people to follow your user IDs closely."
Anthony and the other supercats went offline glumly. After that, he slammed his paw on the table in fury and said, "D*mn it. Steve is actually spying on us!"
The Divination cat, Merlin, said, "He has no idea how important playing this game is to us!"
The Frost cat, Ace, raised his paws and shouted, "Playing games has become our only source of entertainment. Now we can't even play games. What's the point of our cat lives now?"
"Exactly," Arthur said. "We can't even play games. We should might as well be captured by Zhao Yao!"
Just as the four cats were grumbling, a cough rang in their ears. The four cats turned around in unison and saw Zhao Yao before them.
The Mass Transfer cat, Anthony, was so scared he jumped two meters high in alarm, grabbing on to the chandelier in the room. Divination cat, Merlin, immediately slid under the sofa to hide and Frost cat, Ace, collapsed to the floor as his legs turned weak. Only Arthur stood with his chest puffed in the air, flaring his fur at Zhao Yao as he continued to make low, threatening growls.
Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you guys want to follow me back on your own accord or do you want me to knock you guys out first?"
After Zhao Yao returned to the US, he used the intel collected from reading Doomsday's mind and with the help of Sheriff's mind reading ability, tracked down the whereabouts of these remaining four pioneer supercats.
However, when they saw Zhao Yao, it was impossible for the four pioneer supercats to surrender without a fight.
Anthony first tried to activate his Mass Transfer powers to escape as blue light emanated from the four supercats in the room.
The Frost cat, Ace, turned into a blizzard and charged towards Zhao Yao, trying to entrap him to buy more time for the mass transfer.
Merlin, the Divination cat, could not stop trembling in fear.
Rays of sword shadows appeared behind Arthur.
As he faced the attacks from the four supercats, Zhao Yao calmly said, "Have a good sleep guys…"
The next moment, a voice rang in the ears of all four cats. Their vision turned to black before they collapsed on the floor.
After dealing with the four supercats, Zhao Yao took the meteorite fragments from each of their bodies. His meteorite fragments collection increased to 81% instantly and his skill points also increased to 8 points.
At the same time, he earned another 5 000*4*2 experience points for successfully catching the last four pioneer supercats. This made his experience points become: Book: Level 8 (54 107/100 000).
Next, Zhao Yao went on a hunt around all of America, sweeping up all the meteorite fragments owned by the Star Cats. He finally increased the meteorite fragments collection to 88%, completing the mission to collect all the meteorite fragments owned by the Star Cats. This earned him another 8 000*2 experience points.
As for the remaining 12%, Zhao Yao guessed that it was scattered around the world in the hands of other groups or countries.
"What an excellent harvest." Having finally completed the two big missions concerning the Star Cats, Zhao Yao left the US superpower realm in a mess as he brought the four pioneer supercats with him back home and returned to the Cat Wonderland.
"Let me go home and organise my gains first before I decide on my next plans."
…
Anthony opened his eyes in a dazed and confused state of mind. He found himself in an office and immediately flipped over and crawled on his limbs as he saw Merlin, Arthur, and Ace beside him. There were two other supercats on the other side which he had never seen before.
Zhao Yao sat behind the office table in front of them. He was laughing foolishly at his computer screen.
Anthony asked telepathically, "What's going on?"
Merlin replied, "I don't know. We found ourselves here when we awoke."
Frost Cat, Ace, looked at the unfamiliar orange cat and multi-colored cat at the side and said, "Hello, can I know what this place is?"
