Chapter 67 – Cat Dad Will Die Again?
‘That should be enough.’
Xiaomao resupplied fish and food for the long journey. He also gave so to Lucky and Shepherd just in case their satiety bar was low.
After filling their inventory slots with food and spare weapons, Xiaomao and his group proceeded to the adventurer guild to make a report.
Unfortunately, they arrived late. It was nightti and the guild was closed.
‘Eh. Too bad. I guess I should head back to the labor guild’s apartnt and log out for the day. I need to prepare for the marathon. I also have to adapt to my new abilities and adjust my transformation.’
Xiaomao guided Lucky and Shepherd to the labor guild. Unlike the adventurer guild, this place was open 24/7.
After entering the guild, Xiaomao went to the receptionist right away. He disabled the chaleon skill to show himself.
As soon as Xiaomao revealed his appearance, the guild receptionist gasped.
“Sir Xiaomao. Everybody has been looking for you. Where have you been?!”
Xiaomao jumped from Lucky’s shoulder to the table.
“Tell about the emperor’s edict, munya. Why is the emperor looking for , munya?”
“Ah, that. I heard he wants to ask you a few questions about the shipbuilding commission. I don’t know the detail, though.”
“Oh.”
Xiaomao could finally guess what had happened. It seed that the emperor was curious about the purposes of Xiaomao’s warship as it affected the country’s security and order.
“Is it urgent, munya?”
“Very urgent. You should go to Siren City and seek an audience with the emperor right away, or he will brand you as a traitor.”
“I see. By the way, do you have a teleportation rune of Siren City for sale, munya?”.
The receptionist dryly laughed, “I’m so sorry. Teleportation runes are restricted items. Only the royalties and the Pangu priests can possess or distribute them.”
“Oh, right. I forgot about that. Anyway, can I purchase another room for my servant, munya?”
“Of course, sir. However, since this is your second room, it will cost you two PACTs.”
Xiaomao put materialized PACT tokens on the table, and the receptionist took them. She turned around opened a counter drawer and gave Xiaomao a room key.
“Would you like to purchase extra an extra magic chest from us? It cost 10,000 PACT to expand 1,000 additional inventory slots.”
In this ga, P2W players had the advantage over free players in terms of inventory slots and warehouse slots. By purchasing an additional lodging room for a new slave, Xiaomao could permanently expand warehouse spaces by purchasing new magic chests.
One room allowed one default chest. Two rooms unlocked the second chest. Three rooms enabled the third chest, and so on.
Moreover, the labor guild’s rooms were the limited first-co-first-serve type. Once players occupied all rooms, no new players would be able to obtain them from the guild other than purchasing from the previous owner. This trend would continue until the Land Lord patch.
Extra inventory slots sounded promising, but Xiaomao didn’t have enough PACTs.
“Maybe next ti, munya.”
“I see. Very well. Please visit us again.”
Xiaomao took the key and brought Shepherd and Lucky to their rooms. Then, he gave them free ti.
“I’m going to log out and rest, munya. You two can do whatever you want from here. I’m giving you one million gold coins each, so spend away, munya!”
After shoving coins to his servants, Xiaomao logged out. The adventure today taxed his ntal health, and he wanted to have a few hours of sleep.
DING
Xiaomao vanished, leaving the two retainers in the ga.
Lucky pouted. She looked around and entered her room to rest. As for Shepherd, he grinned and walked around the resting quarters of the guild, searching for his new targets.
During the stroll, Shepherd saw so many dull retainers, who returned from their journey to their rooms. So of them were so exhausted that they had Panda’s eyes.
Shepherd waved his hand. Then, he wrote texts on the wall with his water-gathering skill.
The panda-eye retainer stared at the ssage. Then, he frowned at Shepherd.
What the heck was this retainer doing?
“???”
Shepherd brought out a blank paper, which he had secretly stored in his clothes. He transford a small portion of water into ink and painted it into a leaflet.
The retainer received the leaflet and read it.
[Free Baptism! Join the Cat Church and Beco Cat Slaves Today!]
“…”
The retainer raised his brows. He found it sketchy but interesting.
.
Xiaomao opened his eyes and found himself in his ga capsule. He pushed the hatch open and sat up.
He rubbed his eyes as the room was strangely bright. His eyes slowly adjusted to the light, but everything seed yellowish.
Then, Xiaomao rembered. He didn’t turn on the light when he entered the ga. Everything in the room was supposed to be dark as it was nightti.
‘Oh, my night sight ability is active. How convenient.’
Xiaomao got out of the capsule. He blinked several tis and closed his eyes to summon the status nu.
‘What is my synchronize rate, system?’
A notification ssage appeared behind his eyelids.
It was on the low side as Xiaomao had just upgraded his character. Fortunately, his brain wasn’t fried from the increase in INT and other stats.
He sniffed and twitched his nose. The room had the strong sll of a female cat’s urine.
Xiaomao walked toward the wall and flipped on the light switch. The light bulb on the ceiling turned white, illuminating the room and showing the ss that his cats made.
As Xiaomao had guessed, Nyanko peed on his pillow again.
“Nyanko, you have your toilet. Why do you keep peeing on my pillow, munya?”
Nyanko had been sleeping on the bed. Upon hearing his voice, she snapped open her eyes and gazed at Xiaomao.
Nya (That’s because you sll weird, papa. You don’t sll like at all.)
“You can rub your fur on later, but don’t pee on my things! I don’t want your pee on , munya! Think about the hygiene!”
Purr (What is hygiene, papa?)
“You get sick if your pee is stuck on your skin or fur for a long ti, munya.”
Nya!? (I can get sick?)
“Of course! You can get a terrible headache, and your body gets hot. You will feel very cold all the ti.”
Nya-Nya! (I don’t like headaches. I don’t want to get sick. Papa, help !)
“Then, don’t pee on my pillow and on the bed, okay? Pee in the toilet, so nobody will get sick.”
Nya! (Okay! I will not pee here again!)
“Good girl!”
Xiaomao sat on his bed and petted Nyanko. He felt like he was talking to a child.
Everything so far sounded crazy as nobody should be able to communicate with cats. However, Xiaomao didn’t care since it was convenient.
‘My life is getting crazy lately. Oh, well. At least, Nyanko never treats as a slave. She’s a good girl.’
He flipped the pee-stained pillow to the other side, where it wasn’t touched by Nyanko’s pee. Then, he slept on it.
Nya (Papa, you will get sick.)
Xiaomao groaned as he wanted to sleep.
“The other side is clean. Nothing to worry about.”
“…”
Nyanko walked toward Xiaomao and kneaded him.
Nya (Wake up, papa. You will get sick!)
It was too late. Xiaomao subconsciously activated his ga skill “Catnap” and was fast-asleep.
.
6 AM
RIIIING
The annoying clock woke up Xiaomao from his deep slumber. He opened his eyes and found the black butthole of Mama Cat, who was sitting on his face.
DING
Xiaomao ignored the system sound and pushed the cat away. For so reason, his head felt heavy as if he had a hangover. Although Xiaomao had a severe headache, he dragged his feet to the bathroom for a morning bath routine.
He stopped at the mirror and stared at his current appearance.
Once again, Xiaomao’s sclera turned black, his pupils stayed yellowish, and his iris was as dark as the abyss. They were the eyes of Chaos Demon God’s followers, but Xiaomao believed they were different.
The followers’ pupils were like fiery yellowish fire, but Xiaomao’s pupils were pure bright gold.
‘I don’t have enough ti to adjust my eyes, so I’ll roll with it. If soone asks, I’ll just say I had a sclera tattoo or sothing. At least, I’m not a werecat anymore.’
Xiaomao’s appearance remained human. No cat ears or a cat tail ca out, which was ideal.
He took a long bath to wash away Nyanko and the other cats’ sll. Then, he rushed to his room to toss the bed sheets, pillow sheets, and the pillow into a washing machine. As for the spring bed, Xiaomao dragged the entire thing to the balcony and put it there.
After restocking a cat feed gadget and changing clean water in his cats’ bowls, Xiaomao put on his school uniform and put on his shoes, preparing to go to school and et up with Wei Zhi.
Munya! (I’m going, too!)
Suddenly, Mu-Nyang latched on his back like a baby monkey. His claws dug into the jacket.
“Mu-Nyang. Your food is in your bowl. I can’t play with you today.”
Munya! (I need to go with you today, or you will die again.)
“As I said… wait what?”
