Am I A God?

Chapter 492: More Points!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

With his mind processing the information at warp speed, Zhao Yao commented, “Firstly, I can eliminate Dust Ball and Lucifer. Dust Ball’s upgrade at level 8 simply requires too much experience and I can’t meet it. Conversely, Lucifer’s super-regeneration skill has proved to be extremely effective and there’s no need for further upgrades.”

“As for the remaining cats ... there are still lots of potential for Matcha in terms of his time-distortion, time-freeze skills. Meanwhile, Ares’s power is also in an urgent need for an upgrade. I believe the ability branches will grant him an increase in attack range which would come in handy.”

Zhao Yao had already made his decision as he pumped the remaining points on both Ares and Matcha.

Even after upgrading both Matcha and Ares, Zhao Yao still had more than 29,000 worth of experience points to spare. Hence, he decided to allocate the remaining ones on Elizabeth.

Instantaneously, Matcha, Elizabeth, and Ares were all upgraded.

Matcha: lv8 (0/50000)

Elizabeth: lv7 (0/20000)

Ares: lv7 (0/20000)

“Haha, Matcha is finally level 8! Let’s see what cool skills lie in wait for us.” Zhao Yao had always been rather optimistic with regards to Matcha’s potential. As usual, he waited with an air of expectancy. After all, his power was rooted in the foundation of time. Ultimately, Matcha had never disappointed Zhao Yao with all the upgrades.

By tapping on Matcha’s profile, two new ability branches appeared beneath his name.

The first was the upgrade to Time Distortion, reducing its cooldown time from 6 hours to 3 hours.

The second one was a peculiar power called the Longevity of Time. When time freeze was activated, the user’s body would be in a state of ‘solidification’ such that his lifespan will not be depleted.

Zhao Yao let out a disappointing sigh as he glanced through the contents, “Indeed, during the period of time freeze, both Matcha and my lifespan is depleted for every second spent in it. Hence, we should always refrain from using it whenever possible. However, my current ability is only capped at 12 seconds. Hence, I don’t have to worry about the problems of longevity as of now.”

Hence, Zhao Yao resolutely tapped on the upgrade of Time Distortion, reducing the cooldown from six hours to three, rendering it far more effective.

With Matcha reaching level 8, his passive skill of Time Acceleration had received another boost. Now, his acceleration during time freeze had increased from a factor of seven to eight. This meant that he had a total of 12* 8 = 96 seconds to spare during a time freeze window.

This was a significant upgrade to Matcha’s ability. Brimming with anticipation, Zhao Yao’s eyes darted towards Ares’s profile.

Over the past few months, Zhao Yao had witnessed all sorts of strange powers popping up all over the place. In return, it had somehow depleted Ares’s original dominance in the field. Hence, Zhao Yao was excited to see what lay installed for this upgrade.

As usual, two ability branches appeared for Ares’s level seven upgrade.

The power of rainbow: The color of the deflective field could turn into any color available on the color spectrum. Strength was temporary; attractiveness was permanent.

Field Strength: Double the current strength of the defective field

Zhao Yao thought, “The power of the stupid rainbow? What the hell? Which r*tard would actually pick that ability over Field Strength?” With his brows knitted together, Zhao Yao slammed his finger against the latter option.

With that, deflective field had doubled in strength. Its original capacity to withstand a weight of up to 100 tons had easily doubled to 200 tons.

Furthermore, his passive skill had also kicked in. The range of his usual deflective field had increased from 6 * 5 to 7 * 5, which equated to an effective distance of 35 meters. Zhao Yao dared not imagine its strength when ‘Power Up Card’ was activated.

Zhao Yao was pleased with Ares’s boost in strength and nodded his head with delight. Finally, his eyes rested on the final cat, Elizabeth.

The first ability branch available was the Sixth Sense. Currently, Elizabeth’s power had already encompassed all five ordinary senses. This power granted her the ability to control the sixth.

The other option was far simpler: increase the effective range of the illusion.

A hint of uncertainty flashed across his eyes as Zhao Yao’s eyes skimmed through the description of the sixth sense.

Both Matcha and Ares’s ability upgrades were far easier to comprehend. The former’s cooldown halved while the latter’s power doubled. Comparatively, Elizabeth’s ability was far hard to fathom, even after much thought.

In reality, the global scientific research focused on the sixth sense could only be described as elementary at best. The prospect of controlling it was beyond the minds of any humans, even amongst the brightest.

This made Zhao Yao extremely concerned.

Despite the uncertainty revolving around the matter, there was something which Zhao Yao had learned about the power of illusion.

“At first, there was only the sense of sight and hearing. Then, I managed to upgrade Elizabeth’s ability to all five senses. I thought that was the maximum that it could ever go. Now, I even have the opportunity to control the sixth?” Zhao Yao concluded, “Does this mean that a seventh, eighth, ninth sense is possible? Will she become Saint Seiya 1 ?”

Naturally, Zhao Yao knew that no such thing actually existed on our planet Earth. There was no way Elizabeth could turn into a Saint Seiya even with her sixth or seventh sense unlocked. However, this did not dampen his spirits in any sense. Instead, he was excited beyond words.

Zhao Yao immediately tapped his finger against the option, Sixth Sense, as the power activated on his own body.

Zhao Yao struggled to open his eyes against his leaden eyelids. Everything was a blur. This haziness finally dissipated after quite some time, allowing his eyes to regain its original clarity.

“This sixth sense ...” Zhao Yao pondered with a frown compressing his face, “This is fuzzier than I had expected. This is so complicated.”

Zhao Yao could feel its effect and yet could not pinpoint its power. It had something to do with instincts, hostility and even feelings. However, he just couldn’t put his finger to it.

“Oh my god, both Matcha’s and Ares’s powers are so much simpler as compared to Elizabeth’s. I guess I need to spend some time investigating and learning about her power.”

Hence, after relaying the information about their upgrades to the respective cats, Zhao Yao retreated to his bed for a well-deserved rest.

The subsequent days zoomed past him in the blink of an eye. Soon, it had already been two weeks. Zhao Yao spent the majority of his time experimenting with Elizabeth’s new found power and purchasing materials to reorganize the island.

Considering the safety of everyone living near him, Zhao Yao decided to buy the entire building which he resided in, every unit on all 18 floors.

After all, Zhao Yao was already an affluent man. He had earned USD 3,500,000 from that American and another USD 200,000,000 from Mao Gang. He had more than enough for the entire building.

Secondly, he had the help of the government on his side. With Inspector Ho looking out for him, he simply had to inform him about the purchase and they would disregard the quota imposed on the number of houses purchased.

Hence, all 18 floors now belonged to Zhao Yao. Currently, he had no plans for these first few floors. However, he had contacted an interior designer to combine the 16, 17 and 18 floors, turning it into a luxurious penthouse.

Currently, Zhao Yao was bringing the designer around the apartments on the 18th floor as he explained, “Do not be affected by the notion of money. I want this to be posh, lavish, and opulent! I want people to know that I’m rich from every single angle of this place!”

The designer nodded his head and replied, “I understand your concerns, do not worry.” After all, this designer was no stranger to such luxurious designs. However, it was his first time hearing such an outlandish request.

Immediately, Zhao Yao emptied a sack worth of cash against the ground to display his sincerity. Zhao Yao had instructed the designer to reject all current projects and focused all his attention on his apartment instead.
