Chapter 10 – Cat Dad in Trouble
11.50 AM
Xiaomao had enough sleep. He woke up and stretched. Then, he checked the clock.
“I really slept a lot, munya.”
Xiaomao raised his brows while he pursed his lips. He accidentally talked like a catopus.
He closed his eyes and ditated to adjust his mind and thoughts.
While his eyes were closed, he could faintly see floating blue screens behind his eyelids.
They looked like an in-ga system nu, but he couldn’t read or see anything clearly.
Xiaomao’s expression grimaced.
‘I know that this stupid ga influences every player’s mind and body. In my previous life, it took a few years before I and the ga character started integrating. But I can’t believe it hits this fast.’
In his previous life, he played a human character, and the integration and assimilation process were not obvious. He felt that his strength, agility, and other physical abilities of himself got better after playing the ga for 3 years. Unfortunately, his abilities were rely on par with average athletes.
Many players got this boon from the ga as well. It started out slow. But when players left the first three worlds and explored the real content of the ga, everything in the real world changed.
The gap of physical strength, speed, and abilities between gars and non-gars would beco obvious. Every country no longer denied the existence of an alternate reality, and they invested in the new worlds to secure the uncharted lands and resources for their countries and their people.
The ga beca inaccessible for the poor as PACT price went through the roof! Having a million dollars was not enough to buy a basic NFT character!
And then, there were calamities, but that was none of Xiaomao’s concerns at the mont.
‘I won’t fall behind this ti. I won’t get stuck as a “Mortal” forever. Also, my Contribution Level must be maxed at 100 before the Landlord Patch cos!’
As Xiaomao got out of bed, the other student who had been sleeping also woke up.
The curtain between them was opened from the other side, and Xiaomao found a handso Asian teenager with bleached blond crew-cut hair. He also looked back at Xiaomao with interest.
Xiaomao also recognized the guy. He was one of the top students from class A, who always ranked 1st in school in his previous life..
This guy was morable as his na was the sa as one of the famous historical warlords. In addition, he was also the eldest son of the mayor, and he was also famous in Pangu Online 2 in Xiaomao’s previous tiline.
As soon as their eyes t, the student spoke in a clear voice, “Are you, perhaps, Miao Xiaomao?”
“Do you know ?” Xiaomao frowned.
“Yes. You stood out in school. Aren’t you one of the rankers as well?”
“Rankers? Oh, right. That huh?”
The rankers referred to the 10 top scorers in the previous term’s exams.
In the previous exams, Xiaomao purposely scored 999 out of 1,000 to make it natural, but this guy in front of him got a perfect 1000.
In Asian culture, many students competed for the best rankings while their parents also competed with other parents whose children fared better in school.
It was an ancient culture, but it was the norm for the local students to be compared with the others.
“I’m Liu Bei, nice to et you.”
“… N-Nice to et you.”
“I know what you’re thinking. My parents are ROTK’s fans, so you can guess the rest.”
“I see. My condolence.”
“My condolence to you, too. Who in the right mind nad you as a kitten anyway? Hahahaha!”
Liu Bei laughed. His pupils expanded as he began to talk about the subject that he was interested in.
“Say, have you been playing any VRMMO gas?”
“Yes. Why do you ask?”
“Which ga?”
“Pangu Online 2…”
Liu Bei grinned. He leaned closer to Xiaomao and whispered, “I can tell that you gad all night for the first ti. You need to manage your sleeping ti better.”
“…”
DING DONG
The school bell rang, telling every student that it was the lunch break ti.
Liu Bei jumped out of his bed. Before he went out, he winked at Xiaomao, “Pro’s tips. Before you enter any dungeon or hunting ground, make sure to pay the toll fee to the players that blockade the entrance. As long as you follow this unspoken rule, your gaming career will be very smooth and peaceful. Also, if you’re at least level 30, you can apply to join my guild. It’s called Shu Han Guild. Easy to rember because of my na, right?”
“…”
Liu Bei whispered, “Anyway if you join my guild, you don’t have to worry about the school tests. My dad knows the principle. Several guys in my class are my guild mbers have “IT”… so you catch my drift?
In short, Liu Bei cheated to get the perfect score.
Xiaomao slowly nodded, but he was wary of Liu Bei.
“Okay, I won’t scare you any further. See you later, brother.”
Liu Bei left the infirmary.
After Liu Bei was gone, Xiaomao let out a sigh of relief.
That was the most dangerous guy in the school. Xiaomao was relieved that he didn’t offend Liu Bei by an accident.
Not only did Liu Bei cheat his way to the top, but several delinquent gangs in the school were also his henchn. Whoever offended Liu Bei, the henchn would find them and make the offender’s life a living hell.
Most of Liu Bei’s targets were arrogant seniors and students from other schools. However, he never touched his classmates or talented students from other classes. Though, he often bullied n that he didn’t like.
‘Welp. At least, I’m not on his radar.’
Xiaomao left the infirmary and went to the cafeteria.
…
7 PM – After school,
Even though all classes had ended, most students from A to D Class remained in the classrooms, doing their howork and self-studied. On the other hand, most E and F class students rushed ho.
Xiaomao was among the go-ho clubbers. He avoided schoolgirls and sprinted toward the school exit as if his life was depending on it.
As usual, Xiaomao rushed to Qin Yun’s convenience store for his part-ti job.
But as Xiaomao was about to leave, he looked in front of him and frowned. He stopped his feet.
A group of delinquents in blue uniforms had been gathering in front of the school gate, confronting a certain bleach-haired student and his followers. These guys ca with their bikes, and they were all ard.
Among the crew of Liu Bei, the brown woman that had once tried to seduce Xiaomao was there as well. However, she was there with her boyfriend, who was wielding a baseball bat.
Liu Bei glared at the leader of the blue-uniford students from the neighbor’s school. He yelled at them.
“You have ten seconds to scram before everything is out of control. You don’t want to start a guild war in real life, don’t you? Do you know what I can do to the father of your boss?”
The one that Liu Bei yelled at was a muscular man, who seed to be older than teenagers. His towering height of 200cm intimidated the grunts behind Liu Bei.
Shi Hui, the gang leader of the BT High School, stared down at Liu Bei while he flaunted a foldable knife.
“Your guild mbers killed one of our gold miners. Bring that bastard out here, and we’ll leave quietly.”
Liu Bei glanced behind him. The boyfriend of the brown woman smirked and flipped his finger at the gang leader.
“The Goblin Mountain belongs to the Shu Han Guild. Your miners trespassed our territory! We did nothing wrong!”
The gang leader bellowed, “All goblin’s towns and territory belong to the Shi Xian Incorporate! You’re the one trespassing our guild’s territory!”
Judging from their conversation, Liu Bei and this gang leader’s boss dispute over their ga’s territory. Although conflicts and player-killing were common in-ga, not many players brought the fights to the real world. But in this case, there was an exception.
After all, real money was involved. These two gangs ran a gold-mining business in-ga, and they often fought to take control of hunting grounds, resources, farms, and mines.
Letting immature hormone-driven teenagers to run businesses was a terrible idea, and this was one of the outcos when conflicts arose.
Xiaomao took several steps back and walked away from these troublemakers. He didn’t want to get involved in the trivial squabble between gaming guilds.
As he couldn’t leave the school by using the front gate, he walked toward a school fence, which was 100 ters away from the school gate.
The fence was only 2 ters tall, which was slightly taller than Xiaomao. He grabbed the edge of the wall and climbed up.
Upon climbing on the wall, Xiaomao saw several bikers, who ca with the blue-clothed gang leader. They also noticed Xiaomao and yelled and pointed their tal pipe at him.
“Hey! One of those Shu Han bastards is here!”
“Excuse ?”
“GET THAT FOOL!”
Xiaomao clicked his tongue. He kicked the wall and jumped back, remaining in the school.
However, the bikers got off their bikes and climbed the wall, chasing after Xiaomao.
Xiaomao had a wry smile on his face. He took out his phone and videoed the bikers’ faces. Then, he began speaking.
“Those bikers from BT Public School are terrorizing BP International School! Right now, they are climbing the wall and threatening the students.”
Calling the cops might be a better option. However, the police might not be able to arrest every biker or do anything much as they were minors.
As Xiaomao knew that he didn’t need to call cops as the teachers and school employees might have done so already, he took another approach – Collecting evidence.
He navigated his social dia app and started live streaming.
Even if they would not go to jail, the school life of these guys would be finished. At the very least, once the footage went viral, these bikers would be either suspended or expelled.
In addition, this footage would serve as Xiaomao’s alibi. He was not a part of the troublemakers.
On the other side, as the bikers rushed into the school, Liu Bei and his followers noticed the commotion. The gang leader also turned toward his n.
At that mont, Liu Bei brought out a stun gun and zapped the waist of the brute. Then, his n raised their weapons and charged at the bikers.
Fights broke out and chaos ensued.
anwhile, two bikers that had climbed over the wall rushed at Xiaomao.
Xiaomao kept filming the biker using his left hand while he tossed his school bag to the side.
“Oh, boy. He’s coming after . He’s ard and fast. I can’t escape, munya.”
Xiaomao pretended to sound panicking, but he kept filming.
One of the bikers reached Xiaomao. He swung down his baseball bat, aiming at Xiaomao’s head.
Xiaomao ducked, and the swing missed.
While semi-squatting, Xiaomao clenched his right fist. Then, he glanced at his target.
Below the Belt
“SELF-DEFENCE PUNCH, MUNYA!”
Mimicking a heel professional wrestler, Xiaomao punched with all his strength!
Johnny Cage’s Groin Punch!
BAM
Sothing soft and firm was cracked. Xiaomao sensed the feedback, and his expression turned ugly as he was disgusted.
The biker’s face turned blue. His eyes rolled upward before he fainted.
