As he saw the two new abilities of Elizabeth, Zhao Yao silently compared them to the previous ability."The illusionary capabilities that Elizabeth currently has can only create visual and sound effects, and although they may seem really convincing, they are exposed easily. If it could really achieve all five senses, then there would not be much difference between illusion and reality. The only flaw would be the randomness of which sense I would get."
Besides sound and sight, the other senses were smell, taste and touch, and it was clear that touch was most important in illusions, but randomly choosing would not guarantee which of the senses were chosen.
"The distance manipulation is also quite powerful, but it dosesn't seem really useful to me". After some consideration, Zhao Yao decided to just leave it to luck, and randomly choose one of the five senses.
As he chose among the five senses, the sense of smell was chosen."Sigh, I didn't get the sense of touch." Zhao Yao pouted as he said, "but the sense of smell is not bad too, this makes Elizabeth's illusions more convincing and real now."

"Haha, son, call me daddy, and I can help you fight for rankings", said Chubby Luban Assassin.
The strongest luban said, "Don't chicken out anymore, 2 wins out of 3 games, whoever loses and doesn't call "daddy" is the son of a bitch (dog)! Do you dare accept my challenge?"
"That's a little too much" Meow Gibson advised, "Cant you just assemble a team and fight it out?"
Chubby Luban Assassin said, "Hehe, if I lose, I'll eat shit immediately."
The Strongest Luban replied, "If I lose I will eat shit standing upside down!"
Chubby Luban Assassin rebutted, "I'll eat shit for one month!"
Not willing to lose, The Strongest Luban replied, "I'll shit standing upside down then eat it upside down!"
"Fight fight fight!" Number 1 dried fish fan exclaimed.
Leopard head said, "These newbies are really ruthless."
Meow Gibson stared blankly and said, "Why must you guys compete by eating shit?"
Zhao Yao looked at the chat log and curled his lips as he sat by Matcha's side, watching the two of them set up a one on one battle between each other.
He then watched as the two heroes Lu Ban and Li Yuanfang kept moving around, and other than standard attacks, neither of them was able to hit the other hero with skills.
Matcha exclaimed, "Damn, this fellow moves so unpredictably, I totally cannot predict which spot he will move to next."
"I fully cannot predict the movements of the both of you two.... ." Zhao Yao stroked Matcha's head and rolled his eyes as he said, "Games in the gold rank and below are just like that, you never know your opponent's next move..."
However, even though the movements of the two looked exactly the same to Zhao Yao, Matcha eventually found himself in a weaker position.
Matcha then immediately jumped onto Zhao Yao's body and said, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, come and fight in my place! I'm losing!"
"But that's cheating!" replied Zhao Yao as he shook his head, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Matcha then held his phone and leaned on Zhao Yao's head, "If I lose I'm the one shitting standing upside down, are you sure you want me doing that in your house?"
At the thought of that, a cold shiver ran down Zhao Yao's spine, as he realized that if matcha really excreted standing upside down, it was him that would be cleaning up all the feces.
"Hand it over, " said Zhao Yao as he snatched the phone over.
Thus the Lu Ban in the brawl map suddenly flew up with vigor, displayed all kinds of nimble acrobatics, and unleashing series of accurate skills. He had turned the game around completely, suddenly forcing his opponent into the defensive.
But just as Zhao Yao's side was on the verge of victory, the opposing hero suddenly disconnected.
The next moment, the Chubby Luban assassin said in the chat, "The dog in my house disconnected my internet, this game's not counted"
The strongest Lu Ban replied, "Disconnecting on purpose because you can't beat me? Sure, but do you dare to rematch?"
"What did you say? I can't see your words clearly, the internet signal at my house is bad, my stupid dog is pulling the cable again."
The strongest Lu Ban said, "Scram, do you take me for an idiot? What has the signal got to do if you can see my words clearly?"
"I can't continue anymore, I can't even see your image clearly, that stupid dog seems to have eaten the whole cable, I've got to call the shit digger to save him, I'll log off first."
"You ****, get back here and call me daddy!"
Zhao Yao looked at the chat conversation and turned to look at the visibly excited matcha jumping up and down the sofa, and quietly rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Elizabeth scowled from the windowside, "Zhao Yao, the handphone!"
"Yes, yes I know. I'll buy you a new one." He then turned on his computer, planning to buy Elizabeth a new phone.
But as he walked to the hall, the sound of a huge burp made him turn around. He saw Roly Poly lying at the corner of the wall, his two paws trying its hardest to cover his mouth. He then turned towards Zhao Yao with some embarrassment, and by his side was a bag of empty potato chips. Actually, he ate a few mouthfuls of cat food and turned to bury them with a look of resentment, digging away at the ground with his legs.
In order to save their food for their next meal, wild cats would bury their food in the ground, and dig it up to eat again when they get hungry. Housecats do the same when they get full from eating or eat something they dislike like. As there was no soil in the house, it looked like they were digging in the air.
After he was done with his burying, Roly Poly ran over to tear open and eat Zhao Yao's food when he wasn't looking.
"Damn!" exclaimed Zhao Yao in shock."don't you know that you can't eat human food?" he covered his face with a look of helplessness, as he knew that human food was full of preservatives and cannot be digested by cats.
Eating too much of human food would cause all kinds of inflammations and kidney failure. It was nothing but harmful to cats.
Roly Poly covered his mouth and could not help but let out a burp as he said with a look of fear, "Don't hit me, it was not on purpose, I couldn't control myself, human food is really too delicious!"
Seeing his look of fear, Zhao Yao sighed helplessly, "Your previous owner really spoiled you too much, from today onwards, you're not allowed to eat any human food"
Seeing Roly Poly's helpless look, Zhao Yao decided he would have to control his cat well, and never let him eat human food.
On the other side, in the little village near Zhao Yao's house, Xiao Shiyu, in her work uniform and high-heeled shoes, with a bag of cat food in her hand, walked around her village, "Mi mi?" in reply to her shouts, from the corner of a garden came a cat's meow, and hearing the sound of the cat, Xiao Shiyu walked over with a look of joy.
She saw that a litter of kittens, only a few months old, was calling to her, as at their side were a few fully grown stray cats lying around.
Yet, it was the sight of a middle-aged man squatting next to the kittens that made her walk over.
As if he heard the footsteps of Xiao Shiyu, the middle-aged man turned around, and with a smile, he asked, "Are you here to feed the cats too? He then showed the bag of cat food he held in his hand."
As she saw his kind and friendly demeanor while feeding the cats, Xiao Shiyu was immediately filled with relief.
"Yes, these kittens were born not long ago, I want to give them extra food."
One of the cats, with white fur and tangerine stripes, circled Xiao Shiyu and kept jumping around, with its eyes appearing to say something.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you eating"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Shiyu and asked, "You like cats too? do you raise cats yourself?"
"Yes, I think they are pretty cute. But I'm too busy with work to take care of cats. I normally just feed stray cats in the village."
Seeing the surrounding cats gathering together, it appeared that Xiao Shiyu was already a familiar figure.
Animals like cats, especially stray ones, have very high distrust and fear.
For strangers, even with food in their hands, it would be difficult to draw them over.
With Xiao Shiyu's familiar look, it was clear that she had been feeding the cats for a long time.
"You're busy with work?" asked the middle-aged man.
Seeing the stray cats happily enjoying the cat food, Xiao Shiyu seemed to let her guard down, and said casually, "Of course I'm busy, this is Jiangmen City, do you know my monthly rental alone is two thousand, and considering expenses on food, entertaining clients, buying clothes, makeup and supplements, there are too many things I need to spend on, and I barely save any money every month."
With a warm smile, the middle-aged man said, "Is your old hometown still around?"
"I'm better off staying here, my old hometown is a small village, and my parents can't help me. Working along in Jiangmen City really makes it difficult for me to cope." Xiao Shiyu looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, " Are you a local? You guys have it easy, it takes us several decades of work to even afford a house."
"You're not considering going back?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Go back? What can I do back there? I studied for many years, and I should just go back to be a farmer?" said Xiao Shiyu with a bitter smile.
The two of them continued chatting, and ten minutes later, seeing Xiao Shiyu's back turn as she walked away, the middle-aged man's gaze turned towards the cat that was circling around Xiao Shiyu.
That cat continued to growl at Xiao Shiyu as if it had something to say to her.
The middle-aged man then walked away with a smile on his face.
A moment later, a person that looked just like Xiao Shiyu but wearing the clothes of the middle-aged man appeared and squatted in front of the cat.
"Little fellow, what do you want to say?"
