492 More Points! ? (1/2)
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.
