Chapter 210 – Cat Dad’s First Guild War (4)
Underworld Bone Necklace
Forged by Solomon, the Demon King of the Underworld. He gifted the necklace to Torrent when the former pirate king accidentally visited the underworld for the first time after he had become an undead.
The necklace contains a drop of Solomon’s blood essence, which allows the wearer to travel between the mortal worlds to the underworld. Bear in mind that you will be trapped in the underworld if you don’t know the way out.
Item Type: Accessory
Rarity: Super Rare
Requirement: Level 100, 2,000 Dark Spiritual Root
Effects: Equipping this item gives the wearer the following abilities and bonuses;
– Increase M.ATK by 1,000
– Increase all retainers’ ATK and M.ATK by 500
– Successful physical attacks have a high chance of inflicting [Death Brand] on the targets.
– Can activate a skill [Underworld Recall] once a day.
.
This was one of many items that had dropped from Torrent. His earrings also had similar properties, but they didn’t have the underworld recall skill and the death brand.
In theory, Xiaomao could use this item as he was immune to curses. However, he didn’t like the fact that Solomon could directly summon him to the Netherworld, so Xiaomao didn’t use it.
Because he couldn’t use it, giving it to this greedy NPC might be a better solution.
“Like it, munya?”
The NPC repeatedly nodded.
DING
<You have completed NPC#0766’s quest.>
<Your SP has doubled!>
Xiaomao checked his guild’s SP again. Earlier, it was about 900 or so.
But now, it was 2000!
Xiaomao slightly shook his head as he doubted his luck sometimes. This guild war mechanic was so easy to exploit, but nobody had realized it yet.
WHOOSH
After the NPC took the necklace, he suddenly sank into the ground. As if he no-clipped to the backrooms, his body suddenly fell into the invisible hole and vanished.
‘I thought so! Serve you right!’
As Xiaomao had enough points to begin his operation, he turned his attention to the guild menu.
Because the two NPCs stopped giving more quests to Xiaomao, he rode the flying sword out, planning to bring another quest NPC to his castle. While he was flying, he pressed the [Summon Hero] button and chose Andrew as the first summon guild member.
WHOOSH
Andrew was teleported from the transparent prison to the guild’s castle field. The dwarf’s face was strangely blue, and he had been covering his nose for an unknown reason.
The dwarf looked around in confusion at first. When he realized that the air was not polluted, he deeply inhaled and exhaled.
A few seconds later, the dwarf calmed down and smacked his chest, ready to take Xiaomao’s order.
DING
“As planned, munya. Let’s build that thing! I’ll buy the blueprint and the materials from the guild menu!”
Xiaomao’s voice enter Andrew’s mind as the former used the guild’s voice chat feature. Any member could hear Xiaomao’s voice even though they were not around him.
Then, he switched to the construction building. He purchased a building and a set of materials.
.
Refinery Factory
Cost: 1,500 SP.
Effect: Produce 10 SP per second. Unlock additional structures.
.
Pylon Tower (Blueprint and Material)
Cost: 250 SP.
Effect: An upgradable structure. Can be built anywhere on the battlefield. Must be built manually.
.
The Refinery Factory’s yield was low, but it was a necessity – It unlocked multiple defensive structures and upgrades. As for the pylon tower, it would serve as a key to defeating strong foes in the field.
WHOOSH
Instantly, the hard-earned 2,000 points were reduced to zero. A pile of materials emerged, and a new building was erected.
A refinery manifested out of thin air. It looked the same as an oil refinery factory, but the green gas from the chimneys made Andrew nervous.
The gas was pure Qi! However, the level of thickness and pressure were a million times stronger than the Qi that sacred water produced!
Fortunately, the chimneys were a kilometer high in the sky, trekking higher than the castle and the protective obelisks on the walls. Nobody was hurt or injured because of the condensed mysterious Qi.
Andrew turned away from the refinery. He packed the material crates and loaded them in a backpack carrier like the main character in Death Stranding. Then, he rushed out of the castle, charging toward the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Xiaomao returned to the battlefield and grabbed a level-207 NPC near Shu Han’s castle wall. He also glanced at NPC#0000.
Currently, all NPCs were walking around aimlessly. However, NPC#0000 had been walking straight toward Xiaomao’s castle gate.
Xiaomao clicked his tongue. He had the urge to use the ultimate combo on the NPC and kill him, but he chose to save the spells for the level-999 helpers of Liu Bei. He brought the level-207 NPC into his castle and glanced at Shu Han’s castle wall.
Liu Bei hadn’t made any move after he had lost Abe.
‘I have a bad feeling about this.’
.
Liu Bei glared at Xiaomao, who swooped down like an eagle and snatched another NPC. He groaned as Xiaomao never got into his firing range.
After Xiaomao had left, Liu Bei put the matchlock rifle back in his inventory as it was useless in this guild war. Instead, he looked at the guild menu, waiting for his SP to reach 1,000.
700 SP was Shu Han’s current resource. He needed 300 more, and he would get it in half a minute.
Staying idly for a minute wasn’t hard to do. Although Xiaomao’s guild was generating 30 SP per second, Liu Bei’s advantage remained.
‘Keep building, you noob. Your playtime will be over once I deploy my men!’
20 seconds later, MUNYA Guild’s SP jumped from 300 to 800!
Xiaomao completed another round trip and a quest in less than a minute!
Liu Bei scoffed and ignored the point differences. He stared at his screen, waiting for the number to reach the threshold.
When Shu Han’s SP reached 1,000, Liu Bei immediately summoned one of his strongest servants.
“COME OUT, JIANG WEI!”
DING
<You have summoned Jiang Wei, Level 950!>
WHOOSH
The level-950 NPC was teleported from the transparent prison to the field behind the castle wall. Jiang Wei leaped on top of the wall and stood next to Liu Bei.
Jiang Wei looked up. By the time he came up to the wall, Xiaomao already grabbed a new NPC and returned to his castle. A few seconds later, his guild’s SP reached 1,500.
DING
Suddenly, MUNYA Guild summoned someone. The SP dropped by 200, and a silhouette of a black-hooded man rushed out of the front wall’s main gate.
Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes and observed the name of the new fighter.
Shepherd, Level 200
“Trash,” muttered Jiang Wei.
“Yeah, they’re trash. Let’s mop them up!”
“I know. Let’s wait for that pushover to come back, and I’ll ambush him.”
“Good. I’ll leave him to you. Kill that fool for me and end this farce!”
Jiang Wei nodded and continued to observe Shepherd, Andrew, and Xiaomao.
Currently, Andrew already reached the center of the field. He put down the crates behind his back and began building a platform. The sound of his hammer was the only thing they heard.
On the other hand, Shepherd suddenly stopped running. He stared at a certain angel, who was smiling from ear to ear. Nobody knew what they were doing.
WHOOSH
While the two retainers did their things, Xiaomao returned to the open field once more.
“Gotcha, you little bitch!” Liu Bei burst into laughter.
Jiang Wei sneered and kicked the ground, flying in the sky without any tool or artifact!
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Wei appeared in front of Xiaomao! The long spear in Jiang Wei’s hands whizzed through the air, coming after Xiaomao’s face.
“DIE, REGRESSOR!”
As if Xiaomao had prepared for this, he bellowed and opened his mouth wide.
“NIHIL!”
Then, Xiaomao’s teeth chomped on the spear!
“NAÏVE!”
Jiang Wei roared and pushed the spear forward, causing the spear tip to pierce through the back of Xiaomao’s mouth.
999,999 DAMAGE!
A big number appeared. Jiang Wei smirked as he believed that Xiaomao couldn’t possibly survive a direct hit from his basic attack.
The next moment, Jiang Wei widened his eyes in disbelief. The HP bar of Xiaomao was indeed depleted, but it wasn’t empty.
Xiaomao survived with one HP!
The cat’s three eyes flared, and his fur was painted red because of his blood. The crimson fluid was ignited and transformed into a white flame, which instantly devoured Jiang Wei’s spear.
Surprised by the white flame, Jiang Wei let go of his spear and backpedaled 10 meters. He furrowed his brows and stared at Xiaomao, confused.
“NIHIL!”
Again, Xiaomao uttered that blasphemous word. It reminded Jiang Wei of a certain calamity-class field that the Pangu Monastery had been keeping in the past.
As if Jiang Wei’s fear came to reality, Xiaomao’s HP bar was recovered by 50%! The spear that he had used earlier was dissolved into liquid because of the white flame, and they were transformed into Xiaomao’s food!
“This power… Taotie! HOW DID YOU LEARN TAOTIE’S POWER!?”
The catopus on the flying sword swiped his bloody mouth with his tentacle. While being covered in the white flame, he snorted.
“You will find out soon, munya!”
“Impudence!”
Jiang Wei bellowed and used his ultimate skill.
The sky suddenly turned dark, and the weather turned cold. A dome appeared and surrounded both castles. Ten thousand spears appeared in the sky and pointed toward Xiaomao.
“You lowly insect should be honored! I’ll teach you the power of a 9th-stage cultivator!”
“Likewise. I’ll teach you the power of technology!”
As soon as Xiaomao finished speaking, Andrew finished building the Pylon Tower.
Xiaomao’s tentacles were as quick as his mouth. He purchased the pylon tower’s upgrade, which cost 2,000 SP.
RUMBLE
The tower suddenly transformed into an obelisk tower. It immediately gathered energy at its tip and fired a beam toward Jiang Wei!
