Am I A God?

In the following month, Zhao Yao completed missions everyday and managed Cat Wonderland. College Y, under Matcha’s active promotion, gained considerable prestige and enrolled dozens of students. For a local Jianghai cat, it was tempting to be a disciple of the Headless Horseman as they would feel more empowered in a fight.

This income paled in comparison to Zhao Yao’s assets but they helped earn valuable experience points.

A month passed by very fast. During this uneventful period, Zhao Yao earned a considerable amount of experience points.

End of month summary:

For Cat Wonderland’s account, after deducting costs, the month’s profit was 6 276 541 dollars and Zhao Yao could earn 12 500 experience points and start the next month’s missions.

Zhao Yao smiled as he thought about Cat Wonderland’s burgeoning fame, the expanding plethora of food and entertainment in the Wonderland and college Y’s income. This month’s profit had increased.

Zhao Yao pressed on the mission panel and obtained 25 000 experience points.

Adding up the experience points earned from completing missions and providing cat meals, the mission panel showed:

BOOK: Level 7 (62077/50000)

Matcha: Level 8 (10810/50000)

Elizabeth: Level 9 (5600/100000)

Dust Ball: Level 9 (4900/100000)

Ares: Level 8 (4900/50000)

Lucifer: Level 7 (5000/20000)

Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (5000/20000)

Catherine: Level 6 (3000/10000)

“Hmm, Dust Ball and Elizabeth are headed for level 10, so it is difficult for them to upgrade as the experience points required is large.” Zhao Yao frowned and said, “Sphynx cat is unable to upgrade leaving only Matcha, Ares, Lucifer, and Catherine. Who should I upgrade?”

Zhao Yao started thinking though he had considered many times this month. He was unable to make a decision as he did not know what special skills would appear after upgrading a level.

“The guiding principle for a level upgrade is survivability.” This was the lesson he had learnt after Zhao Yao fought against Project X.

“As long as he is able to survive, he will have the chance to defeat the opponent. A standing DPS (Damage per second) is a hero.”

Zhao Yao scanned through the names of the supercats and thought, “The ones with the highest survivability are Matcha and Lucifer. Catherine is also a suitable candidate. Should I upgrade one level? Or contract another cat?”

Zhao Yao shook his head. “My experience points are insufficient. If I upgrade a cat, then contract a cat, the level upgrade is limited and strength is low.”

Zhao Yao gazed towards Matcha, Lucifer, and Catherine as he pondered.

“Catherine is the best choice as her level is low, she will upgrade faster, gain more skills, and the upgrade will be more significant. The remaining experience points can be used to upgrade Lucifer.”

Zhao Yao awarded Catherine experience points and she was upgraded two levels to level 8. Another 15 000 experience points were given to Lucifer, who was upgraded one level to Level 8.

After upgrading the two cats, Zhao Yao happily opened up Catherine’s skill tree to see the new abilities.

Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up and he chose very quickly.

The first one was Dual Mode Transmission. Catherine’s Sleep Medusa was upgraded to transmit by both visual and audio cues. Besides looking at her, anyone hearing her voice would fall asleep and wake up in terror.

Zhao Yao saw that after two more level upgrades in the future, people who saw Catherine via video or thought about her would fall asleep. That would be a powerful ability to have.

The second skill was Doubling Duration. Once the Sleep Medusa was activated, within a day, the duration of the sleep and terror state of the consecutive exposure would be doubled.

Catherine was at Level 8. The affected victims would sleep for 8 seconds, followed by 8 seconds of waking up in terror. The second exposure would cause 16 seconds of effects while the third exposure would result in 32 seconds of effects.

“Not bad, whether people see or hear Catherine, they will fall asleep and wake up in terror.” Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction. “Repeated exposures will result in doubling of the effects duration. This is a good superpower.”

Without special equipment and support of superpowers, his enemies would have to shut off the eyes and ears when fighting with Zhao Yao. That would severely handicap his enemies.

After upgrading Catherine’s superpower, Zhao Yao looked at the Level 8 Lucifer.

He chose Advanced King of Death: When constitution dropped below 15%, the regeneration rate would increase 100 times for 10 minutes and the cooling down period was six hours.

“The constitution level has risen from 10% to 15%, the duration from 6 minutes to 10 minutes, the cooling down period from 12 hours to 6 hours. Not bad, my survivability is getting stronger.”

Zhao Yao was very pleased with the newly acquired skills and turned his attention to the catmint market account.

The Dust Ball catmint had taken 57% share of the market and it provided Zhao Yao 57 lottery chances.

“Pretty impressive, 57 lottery chances. Will I get lucky?”

Zhao Yao washed his hands, got hold of Red Packet and pinched him very hard.

Red Packet frowned and thought, “Why am I being pinched by Zhao Yao at the end of every month?”

After pinching Red Packet, Zhao Yao felt extremely lucky. He closed his eyes and used up 10 lottery chances.

Experience points, experience points, experience points, one packet of Spicy Cat Strips (10 strips), Cat Prince Costume Fragments…

Zhao Yao inspected his goodies and did not discover anything special. He sighed and used up all remaining 47 lottery chances.

“Experience points… experience points… experience points… Spicy Cat Strips… fragments…”

In the next instant, Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up.

“Huh? Dragon Slaying Saber?”

Having drawn the Dragon Slaying Saber, Zhao Yao was very excited. The name sounded like a special weapon but he did not know the superpower of the blade.

He accumulated more than a thousand experience points, more than ten packets of Spicy Cat Strips, eight Cat Prince Costume Fragments and the Dragon Slaying Saber.

“Cat Prince Costume Fragments (19/80)… I can wear it in a few months.” Zhao Yao felt wonderful as he looked at his goodies. “I have lots of Spicy Cat Strips and this Dragon Slaying Saber.”

After rubbing his hands, Zhao Yao selected the saber and his palm emitted white mists. A solid gold saber, which was carved with numerous dragon motifs and exuded splendor and an imposing aura, appeared in his hands.

“This Dragon Slaying Saber…” Zhao Yao’s thumbs squeezed on the handle and thought, “Isn’t it small?”

The Dragon Slaying Saber was only as large as a toothpick.
