Chapter 973: The Cat Prince Costume
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A black costume materialized in Zhao Yao’s hands. Strange, golden cat paw prints flashed intermittently on the costume. Zhao Yao brought the costume closer to him. It was as though he could faintly hear meows in the air.
“I finally got you, Cat Prince Costume.”
Zhao Yao was elated. He slowly read the information transmitted to his mind about the costume.
‘The Cat Prince Costume is a costume that contains the intelligence of countless cat species. It performs various powerful functions.
1. Self-cleaning: Just like how a cat licks itself everyday, the self-cleaning ability of the Cat Prince Costume can be activated every hour to clean the costume and the dirt on the wearer’s body.
2. Stretch and Retract: The Cat Prince Costume can extend itself just like a cat to suit the physique of the wearer. It gives the wearer a strong defensive power.
3. 100 Changes 1000 Illusions: Records up to 12 different costume designs to create illusions of different apparels.
4. Superpower Perfusion: Borrow and store up to two kinds of supercat abilities. Only one ability can be used at a time.
5. Leopard’s Thunder: The Cat Prince Costume can conduct self-repair through specialized vibrations. Prolonged wear will enhance the physical qualities of the wearer.
Zhao Yao was evidently surprised by the five functions of the Cat Prince Costume. They were much more powerful than he had expected. Zhao Yao quickly took off his clothes and donned the Cat Prince Costume to try it out.
The moment he put it on, Zhao Yao instantly felt the costume shrink automatically to suit his physique. The costume fit nicely and was as light as if he was in his own skin.
Zhao Yao tried pulling the costume. He realized it could still be stretched much further, as though it was a rubber band.
He fashioned a blade out of the Deflective Field and casually stabbed himself. The blade slashed down hard, but it left him totally unharmed. When he struck two sword fields at the same time, the Cat Prince Costume began to wear out. When he struck three sword fields at the same time, a small tear appeared in the Cat Prince Costume immediately.
“The defense is not bad. If one sword field has no effect on it, it means that most light weapons would have no effect on it as well.” Zhao Yao looked at the tear in the costume. He watched as the black clothing vibrated slightly before the tear repaired itself. It was just like Lucifer’s Ultra Rapid Regeneration powers.
“Very good. I won’t be afraid of damage to it at this rate.” Zhao Yao nodded his head in satisfaction. “With this self-repair and strong defense power, I wouldn’t need to care about most normal attacks now.”
Zhao Yao thought for a while before he pressed his palm on the clothes he took off. He watched as the Cat Prince Costume began to shrink and suck in the clothes.
When the clothes were completely sucked in, Zhao Yao thought of changing into them. The costume he was wearing transformed like a chameleon into the comfortable T-shirt and shorts he was wearing previously.
As Zhao Yao’s thoughts changed, the clothes squirmed and completed self-cleaning. Zhao Yao’s sharp senses clearly felt the grease and stains on his body being cleaned off, making him feel much more comfortable.
“Not bad, not bad.” Zhao Yao’s eyes brightened up. “Does this mean I don’t need to bathe or change my clothes anymore?”
He stared at his clean clothes in delight and proceeded to try out the most important power – Superpower Perfusion.
He immediately called Matcha over. The whole process was similar to that of a supercat lending his ability to an apostle. However, this time, the target was the Cat Prince Costume, and even at a full 100 points of loyalty, Matcha was able to lend his powers to the costume.
One minute after Matcha pressed his palm on the costume, Zhao Yao felt that he was able to cast the power of Time Freeze directly through the Cat Prince Costume.
He could even switch to the Deflective Field ability and use it at the same time.
This meant that Zhao Yao could cast two different superpowers simultaneously after donning on the Cat Prince Costume.
However, that was not the most important part. Unlike the Cat Princess’ Dress, the description of the Cat Prince costume indicated that it was able to borrow superpowers beyond the scope of the Book.
Zhao Yao called Roly Poly over to try lending his powers to the Cat Prince Costume. It succeeded.
Zhao Yao could easily switch between the powers of Time Freeze and invisibility while wearing the costume. Roly Poly was shocked when he saw how Zhao Yao could play around with the power of invisibility and disappear at will. He thought to himself, “What’s going on? Wasn’t Zhao Yao unable to borrow my powers previously? How come he’s able to do it now?”
Project X remarked, “This guy became even stronger. Roly Poly, you need to train overtime starting tonight, or else your superpower will become more and more obsolete.”
Zhao Yao’s eyes grew wider and brighter as he succeeded in borrowing superpowers with the Cat Prince Costume. This meant that aside from the 8 different kinds of superpowers that were contracted in his Book, he could borrow the superpowers of the remaining 200 over cats on the Cat Island and use them at the same time.
“Although the strength of the other supercats cannot compare to that of the supercats contracted in the Book, when many of these superpowers are paired…”
Zhao Yao immediately thought of the abilities of each and every supercat on the Cat Island and started forming various combinations in his mind.
In fact, Zhao Yao liked the superpowers of the many other supercats on the Cat Island a lot. However, the Book contract required him to level up the contract cats, and leveling up required the accumulation of experience points. As such, Zhao Yao was not able to fully utilize the abilities of the other supercats on the Cat Island.
However, the situation was different now. With the Cat Prince Costume, Zhao Yao could borrow and use the abilities of the other supercats while using the superpowers of the Book’s supercats at the same time.
“Though the alien cats’ power of Awareness gives them immunity against average superpowers, I will still be able to craft many other kinds of battle tactics by combining the two.”
Zhao Yao thought for a while more and chose to store the time freeze ability in the Cat Prince Costume. As such, the power of time freeze would always be on standby whenever he wore the Cat Prince Costume.
As for the second ability to be stored, he had many other options in mind.
“In this case… I might actually be able to fight a real battle with that alien cat.”
Zhao Yao suddenly glanced at his own Cat Prince Costume and thought, “If I wear this to battle, will I ruin it completely? Or is it possible to draw a few more Cat Prince Costumes for Bai Quan, Zhao Xue and the rest to wear?”
Zhao Yao turned towards the rewards pool again and instantly realized that the Cat Prince Costume Fragments had already disappeared. A new gear appeared in its place. It was called the Cat Emperor Armor Fragments.
The moment he saw that, Zhao Yao’s eyes sparkled with joy. His heart started racing and his face reddened in excitement.
“This is good stuff. One look and I can tell.” However, seeing how he had used up his draw chances, Zhao Yao sighed deeply. He so badly wished he could top up hundreds of thousands of draw chances and draw out all the good stuff in the rewards pool.
“Is there a way to increase my chances in drawing rewards?”
