Chapter 190 – Cat Dad’s Cat Stirs More Chaos
“AH! I SEE!”
Xiaomao remembered the description of the Cathulhu Instinct skill.
Cathulhu Instinct – Mastery Max
All catopuses are born with Cathulhu Instinct, inherited from their predecessors. They always hear the mysterious whispers of their seniors. Sometimes, they can even see through illusions, hidden karma, and disguised spells with their naked eyes.
After evolution, a cute catopus can transform into a horrifying Cathulhu, who can see through the truth of the universe.
Skill Type: Racial Skill, Passive
Rarity: Myth
Effects:
– Default monster drop rate is fixed to 100% when you participate in the kill.
- Upon killing a red-named player or a player from hostile factions, eject the dead player’s equipment, items, and gold coins in their inventory. Decrease their level by one and increase yours by one.
– Display hidden quest and item information in the description.
– Display hidden levels, modifiers, and hidden titles of immortals and mortals. Cannot display hidden information about gods, sages, and entities.
– Your right eyebrow always twitches whenever a crisis approaches. The rhythm and the severity of twitching reflect the level of incoming danger.
– This skill will be automatically upgraded when you evolve into a cathulhu.
The second effect clearly stated that Xiaomao could gain levels by killing players from hostile factions. It didn’t work before when Xiaomao had no affiliation. Now, it increased Xiaomao’s level after he killed the purple-named player.
‘So, purple-named players are the key. I just need to find them and end their careers, right?’
Getting inspired and motivated, Xiaomao flew toward the next in-land newbie town, which was located a kilometer to the east. He didn’t even bother looting the corpses since he didn’t want to wait until the sea of flame was extinguished.
The east of Seaside Town was called Venea. Similar to Seaside Town, it was a port village where new players could start out.
Xiaomao still remembered the map and the layout of this town like the back of his hand. In his previous life, this town was his base of operation because there were a dozen newbie dungeons nearby, which were convenient to farm for PACTs.
However, Xiaomao didn’t come here to hunt in those low-level dungeons. As soon as Xiaomao arrived, he activated the Chameleon skill and headed toward a large shrine, south of the town.
The shrine was a ruined stone building with a broken statue of Pangu. A priest NPC stood there, greeting and offering quests to new players.
Xiaomao narrowed his eyes and inspected the name of the NPC.
Pangu Priest, Level 250
Seeing the NPC’s level, Xiaomao sneered. He was confident that he could easily kill the guy with his Did-You-Swear combo. However, he stalked the priest and looked around.
Most new players came out of the shrine and accepted the quests from the priest. A few returned to hand over quest items or report for their quest completion. Unfortunately, their names were white.
‘They’re only regular players. I need Pangu Faction’s players to farm. Where can I find them?’
Xiaomao sighed. Since he had no idea where their gathering location was, he opened the game’s website and entered the forum.
Strangely, Xiaomao could still access his game account even though he was on the blacklist of the game company. He snickered and mocked Pangu in his mind.
‘Bad game management. You should have permanently deleted my account. Are your employees that hopeless?’
Not afraid of being tracked, Xiaomao logged in and entered the forum with his real account. Then, he created a new thread.
[Looking for clues or the locations of Pangu Faction’s guilds or players. Will pay for the intel!]
Then, Xiaomao added contact information and his game account name to the forum, including a screenshot of his character. Moreover, he added another message at the bottom of the thread.
Xiaomao giggled and pressed [Sent]. Then, he went to the options menu and enabled strangers to send him text messages.
DING
Pangu Universe Incorporate was the game company, who was responsible for Pangu Online 2’s game. However, all executives and officers were aware of the sickening truth behind the scenes. Only the employees were clueless about the alternate reality and the real people in the game worlds.
Dong Junya, the director of the game moderator department, had been tracking Xiaomao’s movements in-game. Unfortunately for him, after Xiaomao had obtained the invisible karma ability, his server could no longer track his whereabouts.
Junya had a severe headache as he looked at his blank PC monitors. No matter how hard he coded or searched for Xiaomao, he couldn’t find his name or location in the database as if his existence had already been removed.
‘This is impossible. He’s clearly active! Pan Xian said that he’s still inside the game world. How come I can’t find him?!’
Dong Junya’s bloodshot eyes shifted left and right, scanning and rereading the new codes that he just typed.
DING
Again, the monitors in front of him reported that the servers couldn’t find Xiaomao’s data.
“COME ON!”
Dong Junya threw the three monitors on his desk away. He also swept three large folders of documents and a coffee mug away. Brown liquid splashed on the carpet and wet some of the papers.
Venting was a part of human nature. Dong Junya’s anger and anxiety reached its peak, and he had nowhere to vent his frustration. He grabbed the printed document with the profile and portrait of Xiaomao. Then, he stomped it on the wet carpet several times.
“WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! HOW DID YOU ENTER THE GAME WORLD WITHOUT A GAME CAPSULE?! ARGGHHHHH!!”
BANG
Dong Junya punched his desk, breaking it in half. His fist was also broken and became bloody.
While Dong Junya panted and grumbled, his secretary walked into his office and found the carnage. She gulped.
“S-Sir.”
“WHAT?!” Yelled Dong Junya.
“T-The team has found a clue, sir.”
“Unless it’s Xiaomao’s whereabouts, don’t bother! GET LOST!”
“It’s a-about Xiaomao, sir. He just posts something in our game forum!”
“!!!”
Dong Junya widened his eyes. He looked at his desk, planning to access his computer and enter the website’s forum. However, all monitors were on the floor.
“…”
Awkwardly, Dong Junya stomped out of his office and rushed into the moderator team’s room, where a hundred employees were in the middle of answering phone calls.
Dong Junya pulled the nearest employee off his table and grabbed the latter’s laptop. He sat down and entered the forum to see the thread.
“Which one is Xiaomao’s thread?”
“H-Here, sir. The looking-for-clue one.”
Dong Junya moved the curser and entered the thread. Then, he read through Xiaomao’s messages.
Username: Xiaomao
TITLE: Looking for clues or the locations of Pangu Faction’s guilds or players. Will pay for the intel!
As the title, I’m willing to pay 10,000 USDT for every intel about the locations of player guilds that are affiliated with the Pangu Faction. It can be anything – Last seen location, hunting spots, frequent visiting dungeons, or hideouts. I don’t mind if you self-report to get the money as long as the information is real.
*HOW TO SEND CLUES*
– DM me with the title – Pangu Faction Intel
– Be detailed. Make sure to include time, location, and guild names. In case of self-report, include your name as well.
– Don’t forget to leave your crypto wallet address. The payment will be transferred after I confirm that the intel is legit. The payment will be done by Binance-chain.
– I might give you bonuses for accurate information.
Dong Junya frowned. He accessed the server and tracked Xiaomao’s location.
DING
A report came out.
[User: UNKNOWN DATA]
[Location: Venea, Pangu Shrine]
[Time: 8:36.12 AM]
The director’s eyes lit up. He shouted, “Stop what you’re doing and send GM characters to World Three’s Venea! Find Xiaomao and erase his character, NOW!”
The moderators were frozen for a brief moment before they leaped off their chairs and ran toward the employee’s game room. Dong Junya also stood up, preparing to enter the game world to kill Xiaomao with their cheat characters as well.
As he stood up, the corner of his eyes noticed that there were post scripts in Xiaomao’s thread. Dong Junya turned around and scrolled down.
PS1. PAN XIAN, YOU DICKLESS HYPOCRITE! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, MUNYA!
PS2. To GMs, Mods, and Devs, you are working for the wrong boss. You have no idea who you’re messing with!
“Oh, yeah?” Dong Junya sneered at Xiaomao’s message, “Let’s see how you’ll beg for mercy when I find you, scum!”
The director stomped toward the game room, which was on the opposite side of the floor’s hallway.
Upon entering the room, he found 200 game capsules lined in rows and columns as if they were pods in Matrix. The moderators already entered their designated capsules, preparing to enter the game world with their SPECIAL characters, which were edited and created for the sole purpose of exterminating cheaters, hackers, and unwanted players in-game.
Dong Junya got into his capsule in his working clothes. He shut the hatch and operated the machine.
RUMBLE
The machine hummed, and the system was booted. Dong Junya closed his eyes, waiting for his consciousness to be transferred to his prepared avatar.
DING
<Nyahahaha! No cheating, munya!>
Dong Junya and all employees widened their eyes when the game message appeared behind their eyelids.
DING
A semi-transparent window appeared in front of them. Strange messages appeared to give them a piece of bad news.
<From now on, humans are required to make a proper game avatar to enter MY UNIVERSE! There will be no SPECIAL characters, modded characters, edited characters, and unfair characters that are created by humans, MUNYA!>
<As for the existing SPECIAL characters, all of them have been permanently deleted, MUNYA!>
“WHAT?!” Dong Junya almost had a heart attack.
<For the sake of fairness, my people cannot use their SPECIAL characters as well. We’re in the game with our real bodies and our real souls. All our abilities come from our TRUE abilities, munya!>
<Of course, the updating schedules are also changed because of this arrangement, munya.>
DING
New windows appeared next to the message windows. The employees stared at the new box in a daze.
The message from the mysterious being did not end.
<Lastly, I will give you a year to prepare. Since you have been traveling to MY UNIVERSE, don’t mind me if some of MY PEOPLE come to YOUR WORLD, MUNYA!>
“!!!”
<So far, I’ve been neglecting your offense. You slaughtered the local creatures of my universe. You cursed so many innocent souls and trapped them in the game worlds. You even tried to brainwash the local people because they were worshiping me! For three months, I ignored you and forgave you, munya.>
<Look what you’re doing now, munya! Your boss attacked my men, who were sent there as diplomats and the representative of my people. You even framed and tried to kill their entire family. And just now, you are trying to use cheat avatars that you created to kill one of my people?!>
<You’ve crossed the line. And you’ll pay for this insolence.>
<This is my declaration of war. I, Mu-Nyang, Chaos Seraphim Progenitor, declare war of extinction against Pangu Universe!>
