223 Mission or Game? ? (2/2)
At the same time, Zhao Yao's voice rang in their heads.
”Everyone, it is time for the new mission.”
”If you manage to complete this mission, you will stand a chance to enter the outside world.”
”What?”
”We can finally leave this place?”
All the supercats' eyes sparkled with excitement when they heard the news of possibly leaving this place. Their eyes were glued to the holy light, the laptop and portable generator lying on the ground. This generator was something Zhao Yao had specially prepared for the extradimensional belly. It could provide up to 400W of electricity and was ideal for a place like the extradimensional belly with no source of energy.
A smile crept up Zhao Yao's face as he took a look at the laptop and announced, ”This mission is very simple. I need you to get past the first stage of this game within a day.”
As Zhao Yao's voice continued to echo in their heads, the supercats had already tilted their heads towards the screen in unison. Suddenly, a word started to appear, letter by letter.
Ares read out, ”Diablo 2? What's the meaning of this word?”
The game that Zhao Yao wanted the cats to play was Diablo 2. The best way to lure these cats, which had only just received human-like intelligence, was to use a computer game.
This was the idea Zhao Yao had developed after seeing how addicted Matcha and Rice Cake grew after watching him play Mobile Legends and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
”I'm going to turn the extradimensional belly into the best cat internet café. I will equip this place with the best facilities and turn it into a cat heaven.”
The reason why he chose this game was that it did not require internet for them to play. Also, the long story mode would attract the cats' attention for a long time. The cats could even play together by using the Local Area Network.
At the same time, Ares, the leader amongst them had stepped forward to take on this challenge. With the mouse in his paw, he started playing his first computer game.
”Create your character?” Suddenly, seven characters appeared amidst the piles of fire, burning in the background. All the cats stared intently at the computer screen.
Ares randomly clicked on one of the characters and a muscular bloke with tattoos all over his body emerged from the shadows. He even had an ax in his hand.
”This guy is so muscular!” Excitement shot out of Ares's eyes as he clicked on another character and a female wizard emerged from the shadows. Her magic staff was even illuminated with a captivating glow. Ares mumbled, ”This woman seems stronger than that guy.”
Hence, Ares decided to go with the female wizard. After watching the introductory video, they had finally arrived at their first stop, Rogue Encampment.
Two hours later, Ares rapidly tapped against the mouse and shouted, ”Press the skill! Press the skill!”
Fūjin had both paws pressing against the keyboard as he retorted, ”You didn't even specify the skill? How am I supposed to know which to press?”
Suddenly, a zombie appeared on the screen as it slowly made its way towards them. Ares's chest tightened with fear as he shouted, ”Use the fireball! The fireball!”
Bam!
The zombie collapsed under the intense flames of the fireball. Its body exploded and gave out a few coins and potions. Ares could not help but started beaming from to ear. He had no idea why but he felt an inexplicable satisfaction whenever he saw the zombie falling to the ground. It was even better than sniffing on catmint.
”The zombies are back!” Fūjin exclaimed, ”Quick! Aim at them!”
Ares, which was responsible for the mouse, slid it across the floor and had a perfect aim on the zombie's forehead. Immediately, a few fireballs were shot out and burnt the zombie to crisp.
”Hey, it's some equipment! Pick it up and take a look!”
Ares immediately moved his mouse as their character stood over the armor. Suddenly, they started jumping up and down the place as they were overwhelmed with excitement, ”Golden armor! It's a golden armor!”
