The elderly man opened the closer ball in front of the little turtle that had fainted.
Zhao Yao thought to himself, “So we are finally back on track, the turtle should be sucked into the closer ball? This is outright plagiarism! They will definitely be sued soon. The creator of this game clearly did not bother to spare a thought.”
He saw the closer ball in the elder’s hand shoot out a beam of red light with a “Pong” sound, instantly burning the little turtle on the ground into ashes, then suck the ashes into the closer ball.
The elder passed the closer ball to Zhao Yao and said, “Suck the unconscious closer pet into the closer ball and the seal will be complete. Next, I will teach you how to summon the closer pet in the closer ball.”
“God damn… How is the closer pet still there? My turtle is only ashes,” Zhao Yao exclaimed to himself. “What are you guys thinking? I don’t understand the creators. Are you guys serious? Does this company still want to make a profit? What kind of ridiculous game is this!”
The elder said, “To summon the closer pet…”
“Guys come over! The elder has refreshed there!” A loud commotion was heard. Zhao Yao turned around in exasperation and saw a bunch of smurf accounts dashing over in his direction. Every one of them wore a black elder’s cloak. They surrounded the elder and attacked him vigorously.
Then after another round of plundering, turning the elder into a cloud of mosaics, one of them who was originally naked was wearing the elder’s cloak.
“Now, all of us have clothes to wear!”
“This is such a stupid game. When we just started we were shirtless and only have a pair of boxers. It is so embarrassing to talk to girls!”
“Exactly, finally there are clothes to wear!”
“Let’s go and level up! I heard that by killing the convenience store owner we will be rewarded with equipment. Let’s hurry up!”
Zhao Yao looked at the cloud of mosaics on the floor silently, then looked at the people that just attacked the elder and stopped them.
The leader frowned and said, “What do you want? Just wait for a while, he will be refreshed again…”
“No…” Zhao Yao smiled and said. “Look at me, I have also just created this character. Why don’t you guys help me kill the elder too.”
One minute later, Zhao Yao who was wearing the black cloak, continued to listen to the elder’s tutorial.
“In order to use the closer pet’s power, the closer ball must be used. You need to be calm then use the spell you learnt to summon the closer pet’s power…”
Zhao Yao took a look at the closer ball in his hands that read: LV1 Black Turtle
Then Zhao Yao chose the pooped out option, used it. Immediately, he saw a black turtle hop out of the ball and crawl into Zhao Yao’s chest.
At the same time, Zhao Yao received a notification “Possessor of the power of the black turtle, slight increase in recovery, defense and vitality, learnt black water control, able to slightly decrease the movement speed of nearby units.
Zhao Yao knew that character details did not exist in Closers world. One could not view their own attack power, defense, and other indicators. Everything was dependent on estimation and thoughts.
However, after using the closer pet, he was able to have a rough gauge of his abilities.
His abilities could be used as long as he muttered the name of the ability in his heart.
Zhao Yao concentrated on ‘Black water control’. Immediately, black water could be seen rising around him. The murky water rose continuously and vigorously.
“The visual effects… It’s so ugly…”
Zhao Yao suddenly regretted choosing the turtle, however, he had already chosen it and there is nothing he could do about it. He could only catch a better and cooler closer pet in the future.
The elder spoke again, “Zou x GuangYuCui, now I have a mission for you, are you willing to take it on?”
Looking at the two options that appeared, Zhao Yao chose to accept.
Then, he heard the elder say directly, “Go to the neighboring pig pen and kill twenty pigs.”
Zhao Yao was amused. “Simple and clear…”
Then the elder smiled graciously. “Of course, if you are willing to pay a small sum, I can let someone else kill the pigs for you.”
Looking at the option of paying USD$10 or completing the mission quickly, Zhao Yao turned a blind eye to it.
“Isn’t it just killing a few monsters? Only an idiot would pay to complete the mission.”
Hence, Zhao Yao left the house and went to the pig pen. He saw a large crowd of newbies squatting in the pig pen, rushing up to every pig that appeared and killing them instantly.
Zhao Yao squatted for a while and only managed to touch a pig once after 15 minutes, then he turned impatient.
“How does one complete this mission?”
After thinking for awhile, Zhao Yao walked out of the pig pen and ran back shortly, screaming, “Brothers! A legendary creature appeared near the school. Everyone is trying to catch it! Let’s hurry up and catch it!”
“Legendary creature?”
“Where is the legendary creature?”
“Hurry, catch the legendary creature!”
Looking at the crowd that ran out, Zhao Yao smiled. Then his face changed again after seeing the few of them that remained. “What ridiculous game is this? They can’t even gauge the number of monsters to refresh. The game creator is really useless.”
He killed the pigs with the remaining people for ten plus minutes. Zhao Yao scolded while killing the pigs. “Shitty game! Shitty game! If not for the VR element, who would play this game?!”
Then, there was a commotion.
“God damn, we were cheated!”
“Who was said that there was a legendary creature?”
“Wasn’t it that Zou x something something guy?”
“Just by the name he sounds really shitty already!”
Zhao Yao’s face changed. If they returned, it would be harder to kill the pigs. They may even interfere and stop him from killing the pigs.
What happened next was what Zhao Yao predicted. With the increase in the number of players, the difficulty of killing the pigs increased. Especially when some people were either intentionally or unintentionally blocking him, slowing down his efficiency at killing the pigs.
“If this was in reality…”
“This is shitty game with a shitty storyline, shitty flow, and worst of all, the shittiest abilities…” Looking at the mission that he was unable to complete after so long, Zhao Yao got so mad that he went offline. “Forget it. I shall find Arthas and his friends to carry me. They played this shitty game for so long. They should be at a higher level.”
Zhao Yao removed the equipment on his head and planned to look for Arthas and his friends. Suddenly, he remembered to look at Book.
Surprisingly, the progress of Diana on Book increased by a very slight amount.
“Oh? This game really does allow the Book to collect awareness dimension?” Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up. “How does one collect it? Is it related to what I have done just now?”
Zhao Yao immediately decided not to look for Arthas. He played this game for Diana to evolve so he could fight the alien cats. The most important thing now is to try out what actions in Closers World will allow the progress bar to grow.
