After Zhao Yao logged in, he started wandering around the Beginner's College aimlessly while waiting for Matcha and the rest to come over.
"Arthas and the rest said that this game also has many built-in social media applications. It even has Wechat." Zhao Yao sat down on the floor, trying to figure out how to open Wechat.
Right at that moment, he fell into a trance when he realized he was actually able to feel the Book's presence in the game.
"Eh? I can sense the various panels in the Book? I can activate the Diamond Hall too? So I can use the Book in the game?" Zhao Yao's eyes flickered before he regained his composure. "I have Diana's superpower now. Is it because I can do much more things in dreamscape games like Closers World after Diana evolved?"
At the thought of this, Zhao Yao almost activated Level 11 Diana's abilities on the spot to see if he could penetrate Closers World.
However, just as he thought of activating his superpowers, a strong wave of evil swept his senses, as if the whole world saw his as an enemy. Zhao Yao immediately suppressed the thought of wanting to activate superpowers.
He experimented with it for a while more before he understood the situation.
"After Diana's abilities upgraded to Level 11, there was a great enhancement in her powers. I can even use the Book in a dreamscape game like Closers World, and can even sense a premonition of attack from Closers World itself."
Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, "If I continue to enhance Diana's Nightmare Lord abilities, I will be able to do more and more things in Closers World. One day, I will attain the ability to fight against those alien cats in the world of the Awareness Dimension."
After setting this target for himself, Zhao Yao continued to find the whereabouts of the Wechat app. Finally, after a few rounds of shouting, an interface of commonly used social media apps in the world appeared before him.
Zhao Yao tapped on the Wechat icon. A message popped out which mentioned that 10 USD were required to unlock the Wechat function.
"Trashy game." Zhao Yao gritted his teeth as he bought the app in the game. Though he was unhappy about paying, it was be too troublesome for him not to use Wechat.
After logging into his Wechat account, Zhao Yao discovered that he had already been added into a group chat with Matcha and the rest of the supercats. The supercats in the group were all gamers that worked for him. Zhao Yao briefly scrolled through the list and saw that there were actually around 70-80 supercats playing Closers World.
"No wonder Bai Quan told me that the cats in the Cat Wonderland have been slacking off recently. So they have been playing this game all day."
Zhao Yao saw a flurry of emoticons being sent to the chat when he entered. Suddenly, someone asked in the chat, "Who added Zhao Yao to the group?"
The group suddenly fell silent. The next thing he knew, he got kicked out of the group.
"What the hell! Who kicked me out?!" Zhao Yao was instantly enraged. He immediately sent a message to Matcha screaming, "Quick add me in! And who kicked me out of the chat?"
Matcha replied, "Lightning kicked you out. They were scared you wouldn't let them continue playing the game anymore."
Zhao Yao held in his temper as he replied, "Tell them, in this game, there is no distinction between boss and worker. Everyone is equal. After I join the group chat, you guys are free to say whatever you want, I will not blame you guys at all."
"… Okay," Matcha said. "I'll add you back into the chat."
Zhao Yao was added back into the group chat and immediately saw a flurry of messages that read things like, "Long live our Boss!"
Zhao Yao said, "Enough, stop trying to bootlick me. Let's all work hard together in Closers World from now on and make a mark for ourselves."
Lightning exclaimed, "Hurray! Are we going to create a guild? Whoever offends us, we'll kill that person until they quit the game."
"What nonsense are you on about again," Zhao Yao said. "Come to my office after work tomorrow. I want to have a chat with you. Your work attitude has been a little problematic recently."
Lightning was speechless.
Roly Poly asked, "What are we supposed to do in the game?"
Zhao Yao was surprised. He asked, "Roly Poly, you're playing the game too?"
Roly Poly said, "I haven't started playing. I just heard that you had some things to do in this game, so I asked the cats to add me into the chat first."
"Very good. I'll not say any more on Wechat. Let's all just gather at Beginner's College first. I'm standing at the entrance of the College. My ID is Zou x GuangYuZhui."
After Zhao Yao mentioned that, he did not send anymore messages and stood at the entrance of Beginner's College to wait for the supercats to arrive.
Not long after, a cute, young lady shorter than 1.5m skipped over to Zhao Yao and stood before him, staring right at Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao glanced at the Lolita. Her ID was "Irresistibly Meng".
Zhao Yao asked when he saw her staring at him, "What's the matter?"
The Lolita immediately spoke in a greasy male voice and said, "Zhao Yao, it's me. I'm Roly Poly."
Zhao Yao's good mood was instantly ruined. He stared at the cute face before him and said, "Why did you use a female character? And you made it so… so…"
"Cute right?" Roly Poly said. "I knew you would like this kind of look, so I looked up online tutorials and gathered data from other people to create this look."
Zhao Yao was exasperated. "Do you know that speaking in a male voice with that face makes people really uncomfortable?"
"I can keep quiet and not speak." Roly Poly giggled as he sat beside Zhao Yao. He asked, "Zhao Yao, do you want to touch me?"
"Ah?" Zhao Yao was flustered as he immediately said, "What are you talking about?!"
Roly Poly patted his chest and said, "I said, do you want to try touching me? Don't you like to stroke us all the time? Want to try stroking us in the game?"
A new player who was just passing by suddenly heard a male voice saying all this to another male. The player turned around and gasped in shock at what he saw before walking off hastily.
Zhao Yao was furious. "Roly Poly! Stop saying all this nonsense in the game! Look, other people are getting the wrong idea!"
"Oh," Roly Poly said passionately. "Don't worry, Zhao Yao, just try it. When I went on the forum to search for online tutorials, I realized that many humans want to try touching as well. You can try it too."
"Don't come near me!" Zhao Yao stretched out his hand to push Roly Poly away, but he and Roly Poly were both at the same beginner level in the game, so their powers were around the same level. After some tussling, a bolt of lightning struck down on them.
Roly Poly was immediately expelled beyond five meters. When he looked at Zhao Yao, his mouth hung open in shock at what he saw.
At that moment, Zhao Yao's head had turned into a pig's head. The words "Kink for Molesting Females" was added in front of his ID in yellow.
"Kink for Molesting Females Zou x GuangYuZhui." Roly Poly was shocked. "Zhao Yao you've suddenly gained a new ID? Is this a hidden reward?"
"Reward your head! This must definitely be a punitive measure of this dumbass game! It even said that my attack and defense power have been reduced by half! That and this ID will be in effect for half an hour!"
Zhao Yao was about to explode from anger at the ID on top of his head. This was at the entrance to the College. There were too many new players walking around. Seeing the varying stares of admiration, disgust, or even envy from the new players who passed by, Zhao Yao really felt like going offline to kill Roly Poly right at that instance.
However, he noticed a sudden, slight increase in the evolution bar in the Book, and became delighted for a moment.
"This works too?"
