Am I A God?

Chapter 240: Who Needs My Help?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The interior of this gym was extremely dark and it emanated a somewhat creepy vibe. This was probably because of the poor lightning coupled with the fact that the curtains were all drawn.

Six grown men set together in a circle and were in the midst of a serious discussion with their foreheads puckered together.

The teenager and tattooed-man which trespassed into Zhao Yao’s dugout were also there.

Usually, the pair of teenager and tattooed-man would have easily stood out in the crowd for their muscular and buff bodies. However, as compared to the remaining four men sitting beside them, it was like seeing Dawyne Johnson sitting next to Shaq.

They were far bigger than the pair, be it the size of their chest, waist, arms or even legs. Any ordinary human would be taken aback by their sheer size.

Even though they were deeply engrossed in their discussion, they did not stop working out.

One of them held a dumbbell in his arm which weighed at least 30kg. Every time he executed a bicep curl, the muscles on his arms would contract as his veins popped up all over his biceps. The strength on display was startling.

The remaining muscular men were similarly engrossed in their individual exercise while maintaining the conversation.

From the looks of it, they were already used to multitasking in this manner.

The reason behind their relentless training, even when they were in the midst of a serious discussion, was probably due to their superpower.

The superpower that these sports enthusiasts were endowed with was not something that would provide them a shortcut to instantly boost their muscular strength. Instead, it was an ability which improved their efficiency during training.

After receiving this superpower, the effects of their training were 10 times more efficient and effective compared to a normal human. Furthermore, the most important aspect of this power was that there was no bottleneck in terms of their muscular growth and development. Through their perpetual training, they had already re-defined what the human body was capable of again and again. Now, they had bodies which could unleash strength that all powerlifters could only dream of.

This was the main reason why they were training their body regardless of where they were and what they were doing.

With the dumbbell held in the air, one of the muscular blokes shouted, “Hey, the neighboring Xing Xing District, Bai Wang Jiayuan, Dragon Court ... We have cleared a total of 12 districts and schools and submitted their respective cat kings to our superior. However, most of them had useless powers.”

The other muscular man with the hand gripper in his palm responded, “These are situations which we cannot avoid. The majority of the supercats have powers and abilities that are too weak. Only a minority have powers that are truly revolutionary. Speaking of it ...” He swept his eyes across the gym before stopping at the tattooed man, “Ah Jie, Ah Shan, you guys mentioned that there was a truly formidable cat king.”

The tattooed-man who was referred to as Ah Jie jumped onto his feet with excitement overwhelming him as he shouted, “Yes, boss! I’m telling you that this cat king has a power that is unrivaled by any other supercats. We would be rich if we manage to catch it!”

Hence, Ah Jie and Ah Shan began recounting their experience in the dugout.

The boss who held the hand gripper in his palm stroked his chin thoughtfully and was taken aback by the scenario explained by them, “Its range of influence is so wide that even you guys cannot avoid it?” A smile crept up his face as he continued, “This is interesting. We will take a look tonight. We shall see what kind of power lies within that place ... hahaha, I hope that it would not disappoint me like the other cat kings had.”

Excitement poured out of his eyes as he accidentally broke the hand gripper into two.

...

Zhao Yao was standing in the middle of a crowded street, situating in the heart of the city center. His eyes darted across the street, in search of pedestrians with the exclamation marks floating above their heads.

Roly Poly was lying on Zhao Yao’s shoulder with a face brimming with frustration

“No one needs my help?” Zhao Yao’s eyes scrutinized every single person that walked down the street. However, none of them had an exclamation mark above their head. Zhao Yao could not help but suspect that he was missing something important.

“What are the conditions that I have to meet in order to accept a mission?” He was deep in thought when he noticed a frail elderly lady waiting at the traffic light, getting ready to cross the road.

His eyes glittered with excitement as he dashed across and came up to this elderly lady. Zhao Yao tapped her on her shoulder and asked, “Hi, are you intending to cross the road?”

“Yes, yes.” The elderly lady seemed to have many experience receiving help from people to cross the road as she reached her arm towards Zhao Yao and said, “Young man, thank you so much ...”

Before the elderly lady could even complete her statement, Zhao Yao had already taken a step backward with a frown clearly reflected on his face. He gave the lady a polite smile and explained, “You can just cross when the traffic light turns green.”

The elderly lady stared dumbfoundedly as Zhao Yao took his leave. Her emotions at that moment could only be explained with three words, “What the f*ck?”

Roly Poly, who was perched on Zhao Yao’s shoulder the entire time, could not believe his eyes as well. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his head, “Oh my god, did Zhao Yao just turn r*traded? This is bad. If he is really retarded, who is going to go out there and earn money for us? Hmph ... maybe it’s time to take the property deed from Zhao Yao.”

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was indifferent to his prior failure and walked a few hundred meters in another direction. Then, his attention was caught by a primary school student squatting by the flower bed with his eyes reddened with tears.

Zhao Yao immediately approached him and asked, “Hey, what happened? Did you fail an exam or lose a textbook or something?”

The kid who was still sobbing raised his head and stared at Zhao Yao as his body quivered with sadness, “I just can’t seem to level up in Mobile Legends.”

“Oh, is that the case?” Zhao Yao immediately whipped out his phone and said, “Just add me on Mobile Legends. I’ll help you achieve it.”

Instantly, the frown evaporated from his face and was replaced by a wide grin. However, the kid was rather hesitant and asked, “Are you sure you are capable of doing that?”

“Obviously! My main account’s rank is legend. I’ll just use one of my smurf accounts to help you. Piece of cake.”

After adding the kid on Mobile Legend, Zhao Yao excitedly tapped on a ranked match. However, the exclamation mark did not appear no matter how long Zhao Yao waited. Finally, Zhao Yao gave up and gave a long sigh of despair. He patted the kid on his head and said, “Hey, you are not young anymore. Back in my days, you are already old enough to be a father. It’s going to be disastrous if you continue feeding your addiction to the game. I’m just trying to help you kick your addiction. You don’t have to thank me.”

Moments later, the kid saw a notification on his phone screen, “Your teammate has left the game.”

“Huh?” The kid raised his head but Zhao Yao was already long gone. The kid trembled with anger and there were three words which would accurately describe his emotions, “What the f*ck?”

“I need to make good use of the remaining time in search of people who truly require my help.” Zhao Yao continued walking down the street but was disappointed by the absence of his favorite punctuation. He could not help but sigh, “Are there really no one who truly deserves my help?”

Roly Poly scratched his head and mumbled, “This devil ...”

However, Zhao Yao had learned a few lessons from the previous encounters and concluded, “I guess I can only accept a mission when there’s the golden exclamation mark. I cannot simply create a mission on my own. However, I’ve not seen a single exclamation mark after spending so much time on the streets. Does it mean that it must be someone I know?”

Zhao Yao recalled the previous missions and shook his head, “That isn’t the case. I mean I didn’t even know the Japanese beforehand. Or maybe these missions must have some sort of connections to supercats.”

Zhao Yao thought that this insight was the key to unlocking more missions. Since his BOOK’s abilities were directly connected to training his supercats, it only made sense that the missions it gave must be related to supercats.

“If it must be related to supercats ...” A smile crept up Zhao Yao’s face as he started contacting Inspector Ho.

“The number you are calling is currently not available.”

“The number you are calling is currently not available.”

“The number you are calling is currently not available.”

Zhao Yao gave up the thought as he bit his lower lip. He muttered, ” I never expected Inspector ho to be such a petty man to resort to ignoring my calls.”

Zhao Yao placed his phone back in his pocket and thought, “Currently, I have come up with two critical factors. The missions must be either related to Japanese or supercats. I have Hanako tending to the Japanese side, I guess I’ll just have to experiment with other apostles.”
