Chapter 138 Cat Dad and Mu-Nyang’s Small Talk

Chapter 138 – Cat Dad and Mu-Nyang’s Small Talk

“Where are Peter and John, munya?”

“They’re in another room. This room is for us,” Lucky’s face was bright red. She leaned closer to Xiaomao and licked his face and his mouth.

Xiaomao sweated profusely, and his expression turned dark. He brought out the level-100 staff.

BONK!

CRITICAL HIT!

9,043!

In one hit, Lucky stopped what she was doing. She got a huge bun on her head.

“SIT DOWN AND BEHAVE, MUNYA!”

Lucky sniffed and sat on her knees.

.

For an hour, Xiaomao scolded the bad girl because of her vulgar attempt. When his throat was dry, he finally remembered that he needed to log out and feed his cats.

“I’m going to log out for the day, munya. But before that, you should drink the potion and increase your stats, munya.”

“Potion?”

“Here, munya.”

Xiaomao smiled and brought out a 100cc-bottle of sacred water. As he had been leaving the chalice alone in his inventory for hours, the inventory slot with the water was full again.

He gave the gnoll girl a bottle and brought out another one for himself. Then, Xiaomao checked the cooldown timer.

As Xiaomao had been dead recently the 100-booster limit was also reset. It was about time for him to consume the potion and spirit stones to increase his stats again.

He opened the potion lit and raised it high.

“Cheers, munya!”

Lucky raised her brows and read the item description. Then, she noticed something that Xiaomao overlooked.

The gnoll girl grinned, “Cheers, master.”

They instantly downed the content and let out a sigh of satisfaction. Xiaomao burped and hummed in a good mood while Lucky grinned from ear to ear, anticipating the sacred water’s side effect.

DING

<Your stamina will be double for 12 hours.>

<Your Max HP and MP have permanently increased by 100.>

<Your DEX has permanently increased by 10.>

<Your Metal Spiritual Root has permanently increased by 10.>

Nothing seemed unusual here. The item worked as planned.

Suddenly, Xiaomao remembered something. He reread the sacred water’s description, and his heart sank to the tip of his tentacle.

<You have been inflicted with an abnormal status [Estrus] for 12 hours!>

Xiaomao’s body suddenly grew hotter, and his tentacles became sensitive. Each limb turned pink, and the tips were larger than usual.

He didn’t know what possessed him. His character avatar moved by itself.

.

.

The game hatch was opened, and Xiaomao sat up. He looked at his pants and covered his face with his hands in shame.

“I’m so stupid! What have I done?! What happened to your oath?!”

While Xiaomao was sulking, Mu-Nyang jumped into the game capsule and began sniffing his face.

Munya! (You smell like a dog!)

Not only Mu-Nyang sniff him, but Mir, Mama Cat, and Nyanko also rushed into the capsule. However, they didn’t care about his face but his pants, especially the crotch area.

Nya? (Papa smells funny.)

Mew! (This hooman is in season!)

Meo! (An alpha’s scent. Very sexy <3)

“…”

Although ashamed, Xiaomao remembered that he hadn’t fed Mu-Nyang and the others for hours.

“Are you hungry? I’m going to get you some food now.”

Munya! (Don’t bother. I already gave everyone food.)

“Huh?”

Xiaomao had a bad feeling about this. He stood up and rushed to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, several cabinets and drawers were opened. Cans of cat food were on the floor, packages of treats were torn, and the bags of dried cat food leaked the content everywhere.

Xiaomao facepalmed.

“Sorry, Mu-Nyang. You guys must be hungry.”

Instead of getting mad, Xiaomao blamed himself for being a bad owner.

Mu-Nyang and the cat gang followed him to the kitchen. Aside from Mir and Mu-Nyang, Mama Cat and Nyanko rubbed their bodies against his legs.

Meo (Thanks for the treat!)

Nya (Papa is so good. You have so much food.)

On the other hand, Mu-Nyang and Mir smirked.

Mu-Nyang (This is what you get for ignoring us, peasant!)

Mew! (He’s right! Hooman, irresponsible!)

“…”

This was why most cat owners were more patient than dog owners. They were trained by their own cats.

.

After cleaning up the mess and putting the cat food in proper containers, Xiaomao looked at the clock.

It was already 11PM. The day passed by so quickly.

‘I lost track of day and night circle now. At this rate, I’ll become one of those game-addicted players.’

He closed his eyes and checked his synchronization rate.

3%

It was pathetic. Because of the sudden spike in his status attributes, HP, and MP, the synch rate decreased once again.

‘When will I become a superhuman at this rate? I need to balance my life better!’

For the night, Xiaomao cooked his own meal and cleaned the house, including the litter boxes of his cats. During the chore, he found a dead bird, a half-eaten snake, and a dead mouse next to his bed.

“MU-NYANG! WHAT THE HELL?!”

MUNYAAAA! (SHUT IT, PEASANT! THAT IS MY FOOD STASH!)

The cat owner and his cat yelled at each other in the middle of the night, waking up the neighbors.

“SHAAADDAAAAP!!”

.

After the hectic night, Xiaomao managed to get a good night’s sleep on his bed with newly cleaned crisp white sheets. Upon waking up, Xiaomao found Nyanko sleeping on his face once again.

Mu-Nyang was nasty as usual. He was dozing off on his chest. Mir stole half of his pillow’s area and curled like a ball. As for Mama Cat, she used the space between his crotch and legs as her sleeping spot, but her drool left a stain on his sheet.

The fur of his cats messed up the crisp white sheets. Colorful hairs of these guys marked their territory.

Gently, Xiaomao moved the obedient girl to the bed. However, he grabbed Mu-Nyang by the neck and hurled him to his cat bed, which was always at end of the bed bunk.

Mu-Nyang widened his eyes and spread his paws and claws. He managed to flip his body and landed safely on his bed.

MUNYA! (What the hell, peasant?! Is this how to treat your king?!)

“Shut it, you thief! I had a bad dream because of you! I thought I would have been suffocated to death!”

MUNYA! (That was Nyanko’s fault, not me!)

“Nyanko is an innocent girl, but you’re not! You literally covered my nose and mouth with your paws!”

MUNYA! (Your mouth stinks! Had I never covered that, I would have puked on you!)

“Who asked you to sleep on me in the first place?!”

As soon as they woke up, they bickered. Although they seemed angry, Xiaomao never hated Mu-Nyang. Their interaction was the same as how best friends or close brothers talked to each other.

In the end, Xiaomao dragged his feet to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for his cats and himself. When the food was ready, Mu-Nyang stopped yelling at him and savored the crushed tuna meat mixed with cooked rice, dried cat food, and wet cat food.

.

7 AM

The cats had their meal. The three cats took their time to clean their mouth and their faces.

Xiaomao sat at the kitchen table, staring at Mu-Nyang, who sat proudly and staring down at his owner.

“Let’s talk, Mu-Nyang. Who are you exactly? How do you know about the incident a few days ago?”

This was the question that Xiaomao had been pondering for a long time.

When Xiaomao was ambushed in the school bus, Mu-Nyang told Xiaomao that Nian attacked them. Then, he learned more about Nian in the game world and wondered if they were the same person.

To get the answer quickly, Xiaomao interrogated Mu-Nyang if he was hiding something.

Munya! (You can’t afford the karma with your current strength. If you want to learn about my identity, you must reach at least Mao Miaomiao’s level.)

Hearing the name of his mysterious father, Xiaomao was surprised. He didn’t expect Mu-Nyang to blurt out this name out of the blue.

“You knew Mao Miaomiao, too?!”

Munya (Better than you.)

“Who are you?! Who is Mao Miaomiao?! How did you know him?!”

Mu-Nyang raised his paw and covered Xiaomao’s mouth.

Munya-Munya! (If I tell you everything, Nian will find us in an instant. He can read Karma, and he can track the karma to us. As soon as you know about the secret of the universe, Nian will be able to find us in this world.)

Again with the karma, Xiaomao was dying to know the secrets of Mu-Nyang and Mao Miaomiao.

Mu-Munya (But I can give you a hint.)

“Tell me.”

Munya-Nya? (First off, how much do you know about Nian? I need to know how deep you’re in.)

Xiaomao proceeded to tell about his adventure in-game, including Bit Tupeer’s Mazinger Poison, Torrent’s curses, and Pangu Church’s incident.

Nyahahaha!

The cat burst into laughter while Xiaomao was confused.

“Why are you laughing?”

Munya! (Nothing. I’m amazed by your protagonist’s fate, actually.)

Protagonist’s Fate?

Munya-Munya! (Listen carefully. I can only tell you that we have enemies everywhere, in the game worlds, in the real world, and even in space! Countless deities want us dead.)

Xiaomao could no longer understand Mu-Nyang.

“Why do they want us dead in the first place?”

Mu-Nyang smirked and sighed.

Munya-Munya!  (Let’s say I made a lot of mess in the past. Anyway, it’s none of your business, and you don’t need to know.)

“Stop trying to be mysterious and tell me!”

Munya-Nya! (Okay. Here’s the real hint. Cultivation and Evolution.)

“Cultivation and Evolution?”

Munya? (Yes. You have unlocked the cultivator class, and you can cultivate in-game, right?)

Xiaomao nodded. He just unlocked the cultivator class recently, but he hadn’t tried to use the cultivate features yet.

Munya? (Have you acquired some spirit stones in-game?)

Xiaomao nodded again. He still regretted that he wasted so much time doing something stupid earlier instead of consuming spirit stones to fill his daily quota.

Munya! (Bring me a pen and papers. I’ll teach you something.)
