Zhao Yao was delighted by the slight increase in the evolution progress.
"No one knows me here anyway. It's a virtual world, why not..."
Zhao Yao turned to Roly Poly and gestured with his finger, "Roly Poly, come here."
Roly Poly walked up to him blankly. The moment Zhao Yao made his move, another bolt of lightning struck him and expelled him away.
Roly Poly stared at the user ID above Zhao Yao's head and screamed, "Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! The name above your head became even more yellow!"
"Humph, this is just the start!" Zhao Yao's eyes sparkled as he stared at Roly Poly. He started cackling madly as he threw himself at the female character controlled by Roly Poly.
Not long after, bolts of lightning struck continuously and rained down on Zhao Yao. Roly Poly stared in astonishment at Zhao Yao, who had totally transformed into a standing pig. The name above his head had become so yellow it looked as if it was about to turn into shit and drip down.
His ID also became 'Female Terminator' Zou x GuangYuzhui.
The players who passed by were all shocked by the sight of him.
A female player exclaimed, "How did that person become a pig, is that his skin in this game? How cute!"
Her boyfriend beside her immediately dragged her aside and warned her, "Didn't you see that he's a yellow name player?"
The female player asked, "What's a yellow name player? Is it the same as a red name?"
Her boyfriend replied, "Yellow names are a configuration of Closers World. This is a virtual reality game, so people who behave in a lewd manner towards characters of the opposite sex will become yellow names."
As he said that, the man glanced at Zhao Yao carefully, as if he was scared that the other party would charge over and rape them."A player as yellow as him, who knows how many heinous deeds he has done. And look at his name, Zou x GuangYuzhui. One look and you can tell that this guy is very uncultured. Who knows, he might actually have violated that girl called Guang Yuzhui.
Anyway, let's just stay far far away from him and take the other path."
Zhao Yao did not see himself the same way as the players around him did. He just chuckled continuously as he stared at the evolution bar in the Book. He could now see the Book and the evolution bar in the game. Though it was difficult to tell by how much the evolution bar had increased, he realized that each time there was an increase, the bar would flash brightly to clearly signal the increase.
"Heh heh, murder and arson, the riches they bring [1. lyrics of a song], " Zhao Yao cracked his knuckles menacingly."I've finally understood the profound secret to evolution."
Next, Zhao Yao's supercats gradually arrived at the entrance of the College and found Zhao Yao, who now had a yellow name.
A bald, muscular man who looked like a beggar donned in rags walked up to Zhao Yao and asked hesitantly, "Zhao Yao?"
"Oh? Matcha? You're finally here." Zhao Yao stared at the muscular man before him and nodded in approval."Wait here first, the other cats are still on their way." When he said that, he stared at the equipment on Matcha's body and asked, "Why do you look so ragged and worn-out? Are you faring badly here? What's your level now?"
Matcha replied, "The problem lies with this stupid game. All the equipment has a certain degree of durability to it, but there's nowhere to repair our equipment! So I can only continue wearing my worn-out equipment."
...
Tom screamed, "Amakusa! Where do we repair our equipment? Why can't I find it?"
"Repair equipment?" Amakusa asked in confusion, "Why do you need to repair equipment?"
"My equipment durability ran out!"
"Did I set such a thing?"
"You didn't?"
"Did I?"
...
Matcha puffed out his chest in pride as he took out his Closer Ball and said, "As for my level, my main pet is already level 32!" As he said that, he opened the Closer Ball and screamed, "Come out! Vagabond!"
As he said that, a vagabond emerged from Matcha's ball.
Zhao Yao exclaimed, "You can release the animal in the Closer Ball?" At the same time, he thought to himself, "I am actually not the least surprised by how Matcha caught a Vagabond as his Closer pet. Have I accustomed myself to this game?"
Matcha said, "Yeah, once your Closer pet reaches Level 10, you can learn the skill of unleashing your Closer pet. You can release another Closer pet for battle while being possessed by one."
Vagabond glanced at Matcha before lying on the floor and saying lazily, "Let's make this clear. Battles are out of the question for me, sleeping in the Closer Ball is the only way to survive."
Zhao Yao pointed at the Vagabond and asked, "Matcha, what's the use of this thing? And speaking of that... How did you manage to raise this useless bum to Level 32?"
Matcha replied, "Vagabond is really useful!" After he said that, he turned to Vagabond and commanded, "Vagabond! Activate your sleeping power now!"
When the Vagabond lay down on the floor and started sleeping, Matcha explained, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! Quick look! My Vagabond is asleep now. In this state, Vagabond's defense and recovery power will be greatly strengthened! After being attacked, it will counter with mockery as well. This is the best pet to use for pulling tricks on opponents."
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes."Forget it, why am I so concerned about this dumbass game." As he said that, he turned his gaze on a hairy man behind Matcha, who was covered in thick, bushy hair all over his body, including his nostrils, armpits, chest, and stomach.
"You are?"
The hairy man said, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! It's me, Lightning. Can't you tell?" He stared at the thick, bushy hair on his body in satisfaction as he continued, "This game's character customization function is so good. It could actually restore some of my former grandeur."
Zhao Yao sighed and asked, "What's your level now?"
Lightning replied, "My main pet is at Level 29 now. I was training with Matcha just now! I'm really close to becoming Level 30."
Zhao Yao nodded. This level should be just right. At that moment, another two people appeared. Both of them had all kinds of light flashing around their body and were clad in heavy armor. The weapons behind them were so glossy that they shone brightly. Both characters were on horseback, and the hooves of their horses blazed with fire.
The pair came over to Zhao Yao. One of them asked, "Zhao Yao? What's the matter? We still need to train together."
"Rice Cake?" Zhao Yao stared at them in surprise and asked, "What are both of your levels now?"
The other person replied, "I should be around Level 300, if I add up all the levels of my six Closer pets. I can open another Closer position later on. Each character can capture up to six Closer pets and gain the powers of these six Closer pets."
"You are Gaia?" Zhao Yao was stunned."The two of you... How much time did you guys actually spend on this dumbass game?"
Rice Cake just stared curiously at Zhao Yao and asked, "Zhao Yao, where did you get this outfit from? I want it too!"
"It's limited edition and it ran out." Zhao Yao nodded in approval at the both of them as he said, "It will be easier to do things now since both of your levels are so high."
Matcha added in and said, "Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, actually, if I add up all my other Closer pets' level, my level should be close to 300 as well. Aside from Vagabond, I have another more powerful Closer pet!"
