Next, Zhao Yao joined the other teams in killing NPCs, killing the elder, grocery shop owner, drugstore owner, teacher etc. along the way. However, when he went offline to check the progress bar, he found out that the progress bar did not grow at all.
“It is not about killing NPC? Previously my eyes were playing tricks on me?”
Zhao Yao thought about it and decided to give the other two activities a try. It was to kill pigs and inform everyone to kill legendary creature.”
Next, Zhao Yao went to the pig pen. It had already been one or two hours since he last went. The players in the pig pen did not recognize him anymore. Hence, he quietly squatted in a corner and managed to get his hands on five piglets after almost an hour.
During this period of time, once Zhao Yao touched a pig, he would go offline once to check the growth of the Book progress bar.
“Even killing pigs does not work?”
Hence after thinking, Zhao Yao walked out of the pig pen and returned after a while, screaming, “A giant panda just appeared at the entrance of the school! Xiao Yu! Let’s go and catch it quickly!”
Along with the scream, the players in the pig pen got excited immediately and dashed out without a word to catch the giant panda.
Zhao Yao looked at them leaving and went offline himself to check on the Book’s progress bar.
“Seems like it grew a little? But it seems like it didn’t grow too?”
Zhao Yao decided to give it another try. However, after he came back online, he did not stay at the pen pig anymore. Instead, he went to different locations of the hundred beasts college such as the classroom, parade square, grocery shop, drugs shop, groves etc.
“A giant panda appeared at the college entrance! Guys, go and catch it quickly!”
“Flying ability is rewarded for catching the principal! Guys quickly come over here!”
“A bunny girl appeared in the classroom!”
After spreading rumors all over the beginner’s college, Zhao Yao went offline right away and looked at the significant growth of the Book’s progress bar in excitement.
He did a rough estimation. It must have at least been by 5%?
“Could it be that I need spread rumors? But it doesn’t feel right. There should be a deeper reason behind this.”
After thinking about it, Zhao Yao woke Diana and Arthas up to discuss with them the reason behind the growth of the progress bar.
“The Awareness Dimension can be collected just by lying to people?” Diana who was puzzled and spoke, “There is such a thing?”
“Lying is just superficial significance, Diana.” Arthas, at the side, spoke, “The reason should be the change of emotions from many people. The so-called awareness dimension is the projection of consciences of numerous beings in this universe. Therefore, it is like the conscience of a being: chaotic, random and unpredictable.
And since the Closers World’s creator is able to absorb the power given out from the others’ emotional fluctuations, maybe Zhao Yao, you are able to absorb this too?”
After hearing what Arthas said, Zhao Yao nodded his head in agreement. However, if that was the case, isn’t he snatching stealing resources in Closers World? Why did the creators not realize that this time and kick him out, locking his account for three days like the last time?
“Could it be because the type of resources being snatched is different?” Zhao Yao muttered to himself.
Next, Zhao Yao experimented for a few more hours. While the progress bar grew beyond the one-third mark, he finally had a rough idea of the growth for the progress bar.
“Firstly, there needs to be emotional fluctuations in the other players.”
“Secondly, they must know that the emotional fluctuation is due to me. Then, direct their happiness, excitement, hate, resentment or whatever emotions at me.”
Arthas added, “Actually the awareness dimension energy you are absorbing is the same as the Closers World’s, however, the players unconsciously changed their awareness target to you, causing the emotions fluctuations to converge towards you.
While speaking, Arthas tilted his head. “However, how do you actually absorb it? Why are there no results from the attempts by Diana and me?”
Zhao Yao laughed, obviously he will not tell him the specific settings of the Book. He only patted Diana’s head and said, “Diana, I will collect enough awareness dimension energy today and use it on you for you to evolve!”
“Really?” Diana surprised, “I am still able to evolve?”
“Yes, definitely.” Zhao Yao nodded and said, “You guys are not the only ones with super powers, I have super powers too. My superpower is to train you guys. Did you forget that all of you got strong because of my training?”
Diana quickly nodded and said in her heart, “Hehe then aren’t I stronger than Elizabeth and Mum? Won’t my position at home be the highest? Hehehehe, wait till I evolve, I will show off in front of Elizabeth and let her know who is the bigger sister after all!”
Arthas, who was at the side, was excited after hearing what Zhao Yao said. He felt that he had finally found out the secret to the power of the Headless Horseman.
However, he remained doubtful that he would be able to let Diana evolve.
“Continue to evolve? Do you think you are playing Pokemon?”
After coming to a conclusion, Zhao Yao went online excitedly to Closers World. He planned to fill the progress bar and evolve Diana.
However, this time when Zhao Yao returned to the beginner’s college and started to scream that the legendary creature was there, only a small group dashed out to the entrance to look for the legendary creature.
“Look, its that Zou X again.”
“It is that guy who is spreading rumors and cheating people’s feelings.”
“Such low ethics.”
Zhao Yao saw a player spit at him while walking past and said in his heart, “They already recognize me?”
Zhao Yao screamed for a while more and found out that everyone only gave him a cold look and did not care about him anymore.
Zhao Yao frowned. The college was a safe ground, he could not pick a fight. Furthermore, his level one black turtle was such a weakling, he could not defeat anyone.
At that thought, Zhao Yao planned to return to the small yard to see if his elder had been reborn and if he could organize another attack on the elder.
However, Zhao Yao was silenced upon entering.
In front of him was the elder hovering one meter above the ground, covered in armor, with plasma flames behind him. He was smiling mercifully at him.
“God damn…” Zhao Yao squatted down for this first time, he felt like giving up on this game.
“What kind of ridiculous game is this?” Zhao Yao covered his face and said desperately in his heart, “Are those alien cats crazy? Who designs a game like this. The advancement is totally wrong!”
However, after some thinking, Zhao Yao eyes lit up. Walking out of the yard, he took out his closer ball and hit the back of the elder’s head hardly.
“Pong!” When the closer ball almost hit the metal armor, the elder’s head turned 180 degrees around swiftly. He looked at Zhao Yao with his eyes filled with red beams.
Zhao Yao immediately ran out of the door, screaming for his life, “Boss appeared! Boss appeared!”
“It’s is that guy again!”
“He’s probably lying again!”
“Let’s not bother.”
However, the next moment, they saw the robot flying behind Zhao Yao and the players in the area were all stunned.
“There is really the Boss!”
Players ran up excitedly, along with the sound of missiles, hundreds of players were bombed to death by twelve continuous missile launches. With Zhao Yao dying along with them.
However, when he went offline to look at the progress bar, he let out a sigh of relief, he felt like he was on the right path. With his success, he continued luring more players towards the elder.
“Why is the elder so strong?”
“The game company is idiotic!”
“Yesterday, I killed over a hundred elderd. Never did I come across such a strong elder!”
“I can’t guess the mechanism of this game! Totally can’t guess!”
After an hour, countless amateurs were killed in their wails. Zhao Yao went offline contentedly. Looking at the full progress bar, he called excitedly for Diana and chose evolve.
Then Diana’s body was seen inflating in a beam of glaring white lights.
