Am I A God?

Chapter 996: Upgrade Lottery Draws and PublicityTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Strangle created a new avatar and became a bald and ugly native cat in the Beginner's Village.

Strangle looked at his avatar with disgust and looked at Tom's golden fur as he asked, "Why did I become ugly? Why is your fur luminous?"

Tom said, "In Closers World, to attract more attention, the player has to become stronger and more handsome." He pointed to a Ragdoll cat and said, "You can become stronger and more handsome by completing missions. Later, you can also conquer dungeons."

"That's troublesome," Strangle said impatiently. "Didn't you create this dreamscape? Why don't you change the settings in the dreamscape? Why the trouble?"

Strangle only wanted his power to increase but he did not want to complete missions and conquer dungeons.

"The collective dreamscape became stronger and it gathered the countless thoughts of the natives. Even we are unable to make changes." Tom managed to coax Strangle to try out the game.

Tom brought Strangle to an NPC and Strangle nodded at the Ragdoll cat NPC. "This cat is beautiful."

Supercats players got to see Ragdoll cats as beginner NPCs while human players got to see cat-eared girl NPCs.

With Tom's guidance, Strangle completed his first beginner's mission. His body flashed with golden rays and he was upgraded a level. He also obtained a beginner's gift.

Strangle said with amazement, "I feel… I've grown stronger? Have my power and speed been upgraded?"

Feeling the changes after the upgrade, Strangle tilted his head and said, "I like this feeling."

He took out the beginner's gift and asked curiously, "What's this?"

Tom explained, "This is your beginner's gift. From now on, every level up entitles you to open the box once to obtain items from it."

Strangle opened his gift box and it vanished. A golden voucher appeared in front of his chest.

"What's this?"

Tom said, "This is the beginner's first gift which is a lottery draw. If you call for the player's panel and choose lottery, you'll be able to draw from the lottery."

"Lottery draw?" Strangle followed Tom's instruction and saw a large pool appear before him. There were various equipment, skins and pets in the pool and the lottery draw indicator showed one chance for lottery.

Under Tom's guidance, Strangle activated the lottery draw. The pool spun wildly and a faded card appeared.

Tom studied the card and sighed. "Hmm, it's N card skin with orange fur."

"N card skin?" Strangle was bewildered and changed to N card skin with Tom's help.

Strangle's body changed from bald and untidy fur to an orange cat.

Strangle looked curiously at his body's changes and felt better about his new image.

Strangle felt pleasure after the lottery draw and the changing of his skin.

Tom noticed Strangle was silent and was worried that he was unhappy. Tom said, "If you don't like the orange fur, there are more fur colors, eye color, paw pad colors, tail lengths, wings, head halos and other luminous items in the future."

Tom knew that the orange skin was the lowest caste level of supercats in the Milky Way, hence it was not popular.

Strangle tilted his head and asked curiously, "How do I get those items?"

"Level upgrades, completing missions and conquering dungeons…"

"I'd like to go straight to lottery draws." Strangle interrupted Tom and asked, "How could I have another lottery draw?"

"The reward for the completion of a mission is a lottery draw. If you have a level upgrade, the gift box may reward you with a lottery draw."

Strangle asked, "Where do I complete missions next? Could I level up?" After his pleasant experience, Strangle wanted to level up and have another lottery draw.

Seeing Strangle complete the beginner's tutorial missions step by step, Zhao Yao heaved in relief. "I don't see any problems. I'll let Tom handle Strangle and delay for time."

Zhao Yao arranged for Diana to continuing surveillance on Strangle and Tom while he returned to the material realm. He wanted to boost Closers World 2.0 and let it be even more popular.

Zhao Yao made a phone call to Uncle Ho. "Uncle Ho, have you contacted the people I requested for?"

Uncle Ho smiled and said, "Hmm, Hui, Gu and Xiao Chun have agreed together with other celebrities."

Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What… what about that person? Did he agree?"

Uncle Ho smiled wryly as he replied, "You are forcing me to get rejected."

"Don't say that. Even a sentence from him is enough," Zhao Yao said unhappily. "The American President has agreed and will live stream their gaming in Closers World. You're not getting approval from your side?"

Uncle Ho's face was full of sweat as he said, "Okay, I'll try again."

Zhao Yao called England, France, the United States, Russia, India, Japan and Korea to firm up the details of his publicity campaign.

…

In England, Durant said, "It's Zhao Yao's phone call. He requested for more than a hundred celebrities, thirty internet celebrities and more than twenty political and business figures to help publicize his game."

An elder said, "Zhao Yao's getting out of hand. Did you agree to his requests?"

Durant shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everyone's familiar with his information. He's vengeful, petty, greedy and completely lacks principles. If we don't agree…"

Another elder asked, "What will he do?"

Durant said, "He'll do anything like flooding London with feces and urine or live stream the feeding of the Prime Minister with feces."

The elder covered his head and said, "Okay, agree to his terms. There's no negotiation with him."

Another elder shook his head. "Humph, what's this? A feces blackmail?"

…

Zhao Yao thought, "With my influence, if I'm not destroying Earth, all requests would be met."

"I'm only requesting a group of celebrities, internet celebrities and famous elites to help promote Closers World."

Zhao Yao's cell phone rang. "Hello? Xiao Jin? You want to help me advertise? It's not necessary. The people on your side don't have internet, what's the use of advertisements? With your resources, improve the internet infrastructure of your home and let everyone get on the internet and play Closers World."

After hanging up, the cell phone rang again and another person wanted to help Zhao Yao with his advertising campaign.

A few days later, a new round of publicity for Closers World started with a bang.

Everyone discovered a lot of famous people were playing Closers World on social media and television.

Some unknown figures stood in front of the television camera and told everyone about their gaming experience in Closers World.

The publicity of Closers World became very intense. Whether the famous people were playing Closers World or faking it, they caused a lot of people to play the game on an impulse.

Within a few days, a few million people created their avatars in Closers World.

With more gamers in Closers World, the progress bar in Zhao Yao's BOOK accelerated and Diana was upgraded to Level 23. Though the progress was slowed after upgrading, the explosion in gamers made the evolution progress accelerate again.

With the strengthening of his power base, Zhao Yao intended to find out more about the Furless Tribe.
