Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 189 – Cat Dad’s New Way of Farming



The mermaids worked faster than Xiaomao had imagined. When the dungeon began producing sacred water instead of clean water, they created an array, which sealed the Slave Dungeon and the Mermaid Sanctuary together, not allowing anything to come in or slip out.

In the lake, there was a water pumping machine, transferring the sacred water in the lake into water tanks.

Curious, Xiaomao asked the nearest mermaid.

“What are you going to do with that water tank?”

The pretty mermaid with bob hair turned around and smiled at Xiaomao.

“BOB!”

“…”

“Bob-Bob!”

Xiaomao facepalmed. He forgot that they were once mermen, but the dungeon turned them this way.

“Never mind. Continue your work.”

“BOB!”

Since the dungeon converted the lake into sacred water, he didn’t care what they would do to them. He surveyed the dungeon and found the place where he used to sneak into the Warg Lord’s room.

However, the entrance was tightly sealed. There was even a written signboard.

[This path leads to an Ant Dungeon. For the sake of safety, the entrance is closed. The expedition team will be deployed from the capital to deal with the infestation.]

[Trespassers will be arrested and judged according to the Mermaid Laws.]

[Signed – Nameless Nymph]

Xiaomao wondered how they found this dungeon. In his previous life, this passage was left alone for months, and not many mermaids patrolled this area.

‘Did they see me enter this place?’

He was slightly disappointed. He wanted to enter the ant dungeon and destroy its core to gain rare loot, but it was impossible now.

Xiaomao navigated his flying sword toward the statue of Chang’e in the middle of the lake island.

There was another signboard in front of the statue.

[Entrance to Chang’e Sanctuary for visitors, please go here.]

The arrow pointed down toward the lake.

As Xiaomao was curious about the sanctuary, he decided to pay them a visit. Xiaomao transformed into his game character as he needed the night sight and the underwater-breathing ability. He put his flying sword into his inventory and dove into the water.

With the night sight and underwater breathing skills, Xiaomao easily moved deeper into the water.

DING

<Sacred Water Lake is healing you.>

<Your Life Qi has been fully restored.>

<Your stamina has been fully restored.>

“The hell?!”

Xiaomao was taken aback. He had no idea that the lake had this effect now. Moreover, his Life Qi was fully restored to the max.

However, it came with a side effect. His tentacles became stiff, and there was a raging urge inside him.

<You have been inflicted with an abnormal status – [Estrus].>

Xiaomao frowned. It was this abnormal status that broke his oath.

Fortunately, Xiaomao didn’t lose control of himself again. He didn’t know if it was because he started cultivating or if it was his mental strength, but Xiaomao managed to loosen his tentacles and suppress his burning desire.

Since being in the water was risky, Xiaomao jumped out. He got back to the statue.

Noticing the opportunity that his Life Qi was full, Xiaomao thought of the daily quota that he hadn’t used yet. He immediately brought out 100 spirit stones in his inventory and consumed them, using the system.

He could have used them to manually cultivate, but using the item directly could give Xiaomao some EXP, spiritual roots, and raw stats.

DING

<You have gained 1,000,000,000 EXP!>

<Your Level has…>

Without waiting for the notification messages to confirm his gain, Xiaomao used his daily skill to gain more stats.

“Essence of Life! Refine Entity Crystal, reset my karma!”

DING

<Converting your Life Qi…>

<Resetting your karma…>

Again, without caring about the feedback, Xiaomao jumped into the sacred water lake as his HP, MP, and Life Qi were depleted because of the Essence of Life skill.

DING

<Sacred Water Lake is healing you.>

<Your Life Qi has been fully restored.>

<Your stamina has been fully restored.>

<Your HP has been fully restored.>

<Your Mana has been fully restored.>

“This is quite a nice combo, munya!”

Xiaomao cackled. Now, he understood why the mermaids sealed the dungeon and transferred the sacred water – This elixir was too precious to be left alone!

He allocated all his free attributes. Then, he admired the status window in front of him.

The combat performance looked better. With a 9,277 magic attack, he could deal about 30,000 damage if it was non-critical. In case of critical damage, it might reach 100,000 if he was lucky.

Xiaomao thought of his lightning storm spell. With that, he could potentially inflect about 10 million HP damage to anyone!

It was possible to solo raid bosses or named NPCs whose levels were below level 500 now!

‘Alright. I’m done here. I should go farm some negative karma to increase my title bonus stats.’

He left the water and flew out of the dungeon. Without telling anyone, the catopus flew back to Seaside Town.

After the death of Otto, Seaside Town was in chaos. The town guards quit their jobs, and the local guilds were closed down. Without the protection of the NPCs, the townsmen migrated to other nearby cities.

Without NPCs, player guilds took over. Although major guilds tried to purchase the abandoned guild buildings from the other city’s offices, no one succeeded.

As such, the Seaside Town became the Wild West. Player-killing, robbery, and newbie slaughtering were a daily occurrence, causing new players in this town to delete their characters and start over in other places.

When Xiaomao arrived, he could only see run-down buildings and traces of combat. Many players were still around, but most of them were over level 120, and their names were red.

Seeing their levels, Xiaomao scratched his head. He looked around, searching for anyone with a super-rare character or an ultra-rare one, wondering how they increased their levels so fast.

Looking for a while, Xiaomao found nobody noteworthy. All of them were rare characters, who could raise their levels to 200 at the maximum. As for the common or the uncommon characters, they were extinct from this town.

“Hmm.”

Seeing the terrible conditions of all buildings, Xiaomao thought of his rented rooms in the labor guild. He flew toward the abandoned guild building and rushed inside.

Upon getting inside, he ran into 30 players with red names. As Xiaomao didn’t bother using his usual stealth skill, everyone noticed his arrival.

“GOLD NAME?!”

“Hey, isn’t that cat…”

The players were surprised. They pointed at Xiaomao for a moment before they searched the game’s website articles to confirm if they had found the wanted criminal.

But before they could even move, Xiaomao raised his staff and chanted.

“MU-NYA-NYA!”

BOOM

The entire first floor of the labor guild exploded. Out of the 30 players, 10 of them, who had been drinking at a bar, got struck by the large fireball.

“DAMMIT! WE’RE UNDER ATTACK! TO ARMS!”

“MU-NYA-NYA!”

Not caring about their reactions or moral, Xiaomao threw more spells at the players.

30 minutes later, Xiaomao flew out of the burning building. It slowly collapsed to the ground because of his fireball spell.

He didn’t stop there. Xiaomao continued to float over the town, dropping shaman fireballs at every building he saw. Each spell caused over 90,000 critical damage, which instantly depleted every victim’s health bar.

Another 30 minutes went by, and the Seaside Town was swallowed into the sea of flame. Yet, Xiaomao looked unsatisfied.

DING

<You have killed an outlawed player.>

<Your karma has increased by 1,000.>

“I’m supposed to reduce my karma, munya. Why does it keep going up?!”

While Xiaomao was in a bad mood, the corner of his eyes noticed a Pangu Shrine, which was the place where newly created characters usually appeared. He saw a player, whose name was displayed in purple, staring at the burning town.

Xiaomao didn’t bother checking the player’s name or level. He sent a shaman fireball toward the player, hoping to reduce his karma and gain strength.

BOOM

As usual, no player had over 90,000 HP. The explosion instantly erased the player.

However, the next message surprised him.

DING

<You have killed a player of an enemy faction!>

<Cathulhu Instinct has been activated. You have gained one level!>

“Eh?”
