What kind of game was fun? How to attract many people to play?

Zhao Yao pondered and understood that he had two problems.

Fun was a personal feeling. A hundred gamers would have a hundred preferences. To them, fun was different for everyone.

To attract a lot of gamers to play, the criteria was different from fun.

Looking at the ranking in the market, the most fun and the game with the largest following were never the same as there were various factors affecting them.

Zhao Yao decided that Closers World 2.0 was not merely a fun game but a game with the largest pool of gamers.

“My goal is to let everyone on Earth play this game. I can’t make it a free game to attract gamers.”

Zhao Yao understood that if his goal was to get a few hundred thousand gamers, he could provide free games visors and servers to attract gamers.

If the target gamer count was tens of billions, then he had to charge a fee. Even if a few countries partnered up for this venture, they would go bankrupt.

“It’s impossible to make the game free. I have to make the cost low and content interesting.”

Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and pondered. “The first item for my content is… breast shake!”

“I’m turning all grandpas into cat-eared girls.”

As Zhao Yao thought about his game, he lay on the chair and closed his eyes as though he was sleeping. He was actually entering Closers World, designing, changing and planning the game.

After entering a dreamscape, a second in reality was equivalent to tens of hours in the dreamscape. His work efficiency was improved thousands of times. After spending a day in reality, he could complete the redesign of Closers World 2.0.

Ning Ning washed the soiled dishes while she sized up Zhao Yao warily. She saw Zhao Yao sleeping and said softly, “Boss?”

“Boss?”

“Boss, are you asleep?”

When she was sure Zhao Yao was sleeping, Ning Ning carried Matcha, who was laying motionless after eating his meal. She looked earnestly at Matcha.

Matcha said, “What’s this silly girl doing?”

Ning Ning thought, “I’m already 20 years old. I can’t waste my time. It’s time for me to make a decision. I’ll start with Matcha and ask about the cats’ superpowers.”

She pondered for a while and stroked Matcha’s head. “Mat~cha~you’ve become cuter.”

Matcha stared at her listlessly and thought, “Nonsense, I don’t need you to remind me.”

Ning Ning got a can from behind her and put it in front of Matcha. She said fondly, “Matcha, this is a present for you.”

Matcha looked at the can of herring and stared in disdain at Ning Ning.

Ning Ning smiled and said, “You must be very happy? I checked on the internet. Cats like things with a strong smell so you like fish.”

“I got this imported can of herring with strong smell. Try it!”

“Hehe, you aren’t able to open the can? I’ll help you.”

Ning Ning helped Matcha open the can. Then she covered her nose and back off ten meters as she pointed at the can and said, “Take it Matcha. It’s your canned food.”

“Eat my s*it Who want this trash!” Matcha swiped with his paw and the can flew and landed on Ning Ning’s face. Matcha meowed and left. “It’s my bad luck early morning to encounter species discrimination from a silly girl.”

Ning Ning was furious as she looked at her body stained with herring. “Disgusting. I was thinking of asking him about their superpowers but he’s very uncooperative.”

After cleaning up her body, Ning Ning wiped the table and mopped the floor. Seeing the sleeping Zhao Yao and the empty shop, she frowned. “The shop will close down sooner or later.”

The cafe’s doorbell rang. A young and tall lady with maroon hair, fair skin and trendy clothes walked in and surveyed the area. Seeing Ning Ning, she smiled and walked over to her. “Ning Ning, you are really working here.”

Ning Ning lifted her head and recognized the young lady. “Yang Hui, why are you here? Aren’t you preparing to go overseas? You have time to visit me?”

“We’re good friends.” Yang Hui smiled and her eyes gazed at Zhao Yao occasionally. Then she focused on Elizabeth and Diana who were having their meal.

Ning Ning chattered excited at her side and Yang Hui pretended to listen. She compared the looks of the two Ragdoll cat and took out her cell phone. Then she looked at Elizabeth, Diana and the photographs on her cell phone.

Yang Hui’s aim was not to catch up with her classmate but the two Ragdoll cats in front of her.

“Though the fur’s longer than in the pictures but the face shape and the facial creases are alike.”

Yang Hui’s photographs of Elizabeth and Diana were taken by people who visited the cat cafe in Jianghai last time.

With the growing fame of Zhao Yao, the photographs of him and his supercats in the previous cat cafe were circulating around.

Yang Hui accidentally saw Ning Ning’s photograph of her working cafe and discovered Elizabeth and Diana. She thought that the two cats looked like Zhao Yao’s Ragdoll cats and decided to take a look.

“The facial creases and the fur color are alike. But…” Yang Hui lifted her head to look at the sleeping Zhao Yao. “This man is not Zhao Yao. Why would he come to our small county to set up a cafe?”

Yang Hui gazed at Elizabeth and Diana for a while and asked Ning Ning, “Are the cats in the shop supercats?”

Ning Ning nodded and said, “Yes, yes, that’s the reason I’m working here! I’m on close terms with the supercats and they might lend me their superpowers.”

“Ning Ning, you are awesome. You’re able to find your own supercats that fast.” Yang Hui complimented her and asked curiously, “What are their superpowers?”

Ning Ning stammered and her eyes lit up finally. “It’s a secret. I can’t divulge it.”

Yang Hui nodded and looked at Zhao Yao as she asked, “Is that your boss? Is he the one who’s sleeping?”

Ning Ning creased her nose and said, “Yes, he sleeps the whole day while I work in the shop from morning till night. It looks as though it’s my shop….”

A long yawn was heard and both of them turned their heads to see Zhao Yao get up from the chair and stretch his back.

“I’m deadbeat…” Zhao Yao looked fatigued. “That many dungeons, monsters, pets and equipment to redesign and I have to delete Giggle’s game settings. It’s frustrating. And the breast shake doesn’t look natural.”

The time in reality ran for tens of minutes but Zhao Yao worked for two to three years in Closers World. He was feeling mentally drained.

Because he was fatigued for the past six months, Zhao Yao hid his identity and traveled around to relax so that he would not fall ill from exhaustion. What was going to happen to humans and the Earth?

He massaged his temples and pondered over the design of Closers World. “I’ve got to think of a way to stimulate their desire to play the game. Since I’m not thinking of making money, they have to dedicate themselves to the game.”

Though he designed many things, the rewards, gameplay and rhythm were still not perfected.

He decided to learn from his seniors and play the highest ranking games in China. With gaming experience, he would be able to bring more to the table for his gamers.

He ran to the computer on the bar counter and started downloading computer games. “I’ll play Dungeon Fighter Online. I haven’t played League of Legends. And Fantasy Westward Journey. Hmm… I’ll consider Shouyou too…”

“Yes.” Seeing the downloading in progress, Zhao Yao looked at Ning Ning’s face and looked at her breasts. He shook his head in disappointment. His eyes lit up when he noticed Yang Hui.

Zhao Yao said, “Hey young lady, your leg… there’s a problem.”

Yang Hui was stunned. “Ah?”

Ning Ning was puzzled and she could not figure what Zhao Yao was doing.

“Believe me. I can save lives and heal diseases. I saved tens of people who died. ” Zhao Yao said, “If you don’t believe me, jump a few times. Your heels will hurt.”

Yang Hui was wary but Zhao Yao had supercats and he might have some superpowers. She tried jumping but did not discover any issues.

She found Zhao Yao’s eyes fixated on her breasts like an X-ray. She blushed in embarrassment and covered her chest.

Ning Ning stood in front of Yang Hui and said angrily, “Boss! What are you doing? Your eyes are dropping out.”

“I’m collecting data.” Zhao Yao shut his eyes immediately.

Ning Ning asked bewildered, “Why did you close your eyes?”

“To prevent a flat chested girl from corrupting my newly collected data.”

“What flat…” Ning Ning stopped halfway and she blushed with anger. “Pervert!”

“What pervert? Do you think I want to do such things?” Zhao Yao frowned and said, “Aren’t I busy every day protecting Earth?”

Ning Ning said angrily, “What has this got to do with protecting the Earth? You are unscrupulous!”

Zhao Yao said casually, “I’m making a good game to deal with alien cats so I am collecting your friend’s data. I want to make the game more realistic.”

Ning Ning scoffed as she did not believe Zhao Yao and his crap about alien cats.

Yang Hui frowned and thought Zhao Yao was a nutcase. She said goodbye to Ning Ning and left in a hurry.

Zhao Yao was nonchalant. He looked at the computer screen and played computer games.

Ning Ning sighed and she became depressed as she felt she had no future working in this shop. It was not easy to become an apostle.

As Ning Ning worked in the afternoon, she contemplated if she should try her luck in the provincial capital. She heard the Xiao Wang next door was employed and could get 5000 dollars of salary without working. That was the life Ning Ning desired.

Latte walked to her and rubbed her feet as he meowed, “Salmon! I didn’t have salmon today! I want to eat salmon!”

Ning Ning lowered her head to glance at Latte and smiled merrily. “Latte’s very obedient. I’ll play with you later.”

“I’m not playing. I want to eat salmon!” Latte slowed down his speech and said word by word, “I~want~to~eat~salmon~”

“Silly cat.” Matcha could not resist saying, “Can she understand what you were saying? Do you think she would understand if you slowed down? Anyway, the menu’s decided by Zhao Yao. It’s useless to tell her.”

“I’m not a silly cat!” Latte retorted and skipped over to the Dimension Portal. “I’m looking for Milk Tea. He’ll have salmon with him.”

Matcha looked at Latte enter the Extradimensional Belly and shook his head. He took out his cell phone and accessed a Wechat group called Secret Warfare.

Matcha said, “How is it? Have you settled it?”

Lightning sent a back view picture of a walking female cat whose buttocks and tail were revealed.

Fish Ball said, “Who’s this? She has a beautiful tail.”

Cannon said, “Send us the front view!”

Lightning sent out the picture of the front view and the group was shocked.

Ares said, “S*it, don’t send pictures of such a back view killer.”

Cannon said, “Thank goodness I pleasured myself quickly.”

Matcha said, “Shut up. I’m asking important questions. Milk Tea, how are things?”

Milk Tea said, “Hmm, my preparations here are almost complete. What did Master Zhao discover?”

Matcha lifted up his head and looked warily at Zhao Yao who was playing computer games. He replied, “All is normal. He didn’t discover anything.”

Fish Ball said, ” (* ̄〈̄), tonight, I’m not able to come.”

“Ah?” Matcha said, “What are you up to? Didn’t we agree on it? The plan’s ready and you are backing out?”

Fish Ball said sadly, “Li Li wants to do her hair tonight and I have to look after the kids.”

“You’re trash!” Matcha said, “Why are you obeying Li Li?”

Fish Ball said, “I don’t want to but Xiao Yu and Noodle supported her. My status is only higher than the cat stick.”

Matcha said, “You’ve disgraced all the tomcats. Don’t listen to her and see what she’ll do!”

Milk Tea suggested, “Fish Ball, bring the kids over here. We’ll take care of them.”

Fish Ball was pleased and said, “Oh, Really?”

“Yes, no problem,” Milk Tea said. “I have experience taking care of Latte. Leave it to me.”

“Hooray Milk Tea!” Fish Ball said. “I’ll come over later!”
