After reviving the dead, Zhao Yao returned to Jianghai and threw all the people that he rescued from the nuclear explosion onto an empty space on top of a building. He was not interested in handling the details of the hand over.
The people in the building was shocked by the people appearing out of thin air and appearing in front of the building. Immediately, many people rushed up to help the unconscious casualties.
In the office, Uncle Ho was on the phone.
"Yes."
"I understand."
"I will tell him when he contacts me."
"What he likes..." Uncle Ho thought about it and said, "Money and cats!"
"Women? No, no, women are useless. I have tried. He is not a guy who falls for that..."
Uncle Ho put down the phone and sighed. Although Zhao Yao caught Tom, he did not manage to catch Giggle. Zhao Yao made Tom release all the people he controlled and now the high ranking officials from all over the world were starting to regain consciousness. Hence, Uncle Ho was contacted.
"Looks like you are about to be promoted?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Uncle Ho turned around in surprise."Zhao Yao? You succeeded? Don't worry. It was a great accomplishment. Our country will not mistreat you..."
Zhao Yao was nodding happily as Uncle Ho rattled on. He could already imagine himself cooperating with powers from all around the world, Dust Ball Catmint spreading all around the world and Cat Wonderland expanding. By then, he would be able to draw in the lucky draw till he was sick of it and had uncountable experience points.
"And Closers World. After I catch Giggle, I will be in charge of it. If everyone on earth plays this game, then my evolution speed will be..."
Thinking of this, Zhao Yao couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhao Yao?" Uncle Ho looked at Zhao Yao in bewilderment."What's wrong with you?"
"Erm... nothing." Zhao Yao wanted to settled Giggle first. Then, he looked at Uncle Ho and said, "Can you contact Apple and the United States government for me. I want to discuss something with them."
Two hours later, in Apple headquarters, a bunch of high ranking government officials stood at the door of the building. They kept looking at their watches and seemed to be waiting for something.
A few minutes later, something blasted across the air and Zhao Yao landed slowly in front of them.
The company official walked up and said, "Zhao Yao, we have prepared lunch. Do you want to eat and discuss..."
"It's okay, did you disconnect all the player's servers? You must ensure that there are no players in it."
Zhao Yao was led into the office and everyone there was nervous but in awe.
Although they did not really understand the strength of the powers, the difference between the apostles, and the presence of awareness, that this man could walk out from a nuclear explosion unscathed was something they could understand.
In their eyes, Zhao Yao was Thanos or Godzilla in human form.
In the next half an hour, the server of Closers World was completely under Zhao Yao's control.
"Hehe." Zhao Yao looked at them and said, "Look after it. Let the server continue to run, but don't allow any accounts to come online."
"Ahh..." The engineer said, "But, the players will riot."
Zhao Yao was not concerned about this."What riot? We can just give each of them some equipment."
The engineer answered, "There is no way. We can't interfere with data in this game. We cannot give them anything."
"Really?" Zhao Yao frowned and remembered the nature of Closers World. It just appeared to be an online game but was actually a dreamscape. After absorbing countless people's energy, the dreamscape could no longer be easily altered.
"If this is the case, " Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Then, tell the players that I want to repair the server." He patted his chest and said, "You don't have to be stressed. I will take the blame."
Then, he thought of it and remembered that this was a good chance to obtain attention.
Zhao Yao asked, "Oh ya, how many players are there in Closers World?"
"About ten million users everyday."
Zhao Yao's eyes lit up."I am going to take the blame for sure."
The engineer said, "I will ask them to send out the notice..."
"There is no need for a notice. They will think that we are finding an excuse, " Zhao Yao said."Let me do it."
Then, not long after Zhao Yao live streamed himself walking out of a nuclear explosion, he hit the headlines once again.
"To all the players in Closers World, I have something to announce..." Zhao Yao was silent for a while and said, "I am your father."
Zhao Yao smiled satisfyingly when he saw he comments."Closers World will be going under maintenance. I am not sure about the results of the maintenance and there will be no compensation. I welcome you guys to continue to give your support to Closers World and I will try my best to provide the best game experience."
He turned off the live stream and was nodding happily. Although, the players were not let into Closers World yet, he could already imagine how much the players would miss him and when the game reopened, his evolution would be rapid.
Afterall this was the only game in the world that could replace sleep. The players had no other choice.
After finishing the live stream, Zhao Yao observed the server and he left upon confirming that there were no players left.
He returned to the awareness dimension and watched the awareness dimension together with Diana to make sure Giggle was not able to escape.
"Closers World absorbed players energy to operate and become stronger. If there are no players inside, it will weaken."
Hence, over the next few days, Zhao Yao and Diana took turns guarding Closers World. Zhao Yao would also enter it everyday and he could feel that Closers World was gradually weakening.
Finally, after seven days, when Diana was watching Closers World, something rushed out from Closers World. Giggle's awareness collided into Diana and escaped into the distance.
Diana rushed up and the two cat's awareness collided. Giggle was angered."You traitor! You help a human deal with one of your kind?!"
After fighting for a while, Giggle felt an alarming presence descend. Zhao Yao was here.
"Surrender Giggle. You cannot escape."
Roar!
"Surrender?" Giggle yelled, "How can I surrender to such primitive, disgusting and useless human being like you!"
Then, Giggle threw himself towards Zhao Yao and Diana.
Upon feeling that Giggle's awareness was breaking apart, Zhao Yao said, "Hey! What are you doing? At this rate you are going to die."
Giggle knew that he would not be able to escape but he continued to attack Diana and Zhao Yao until the very last moment when his awareness dissipated into the awareness dimension.
