Chapter 485: Mao Miaomiao, Miao Meowmeow, Munya!
Chapter 485: Mao Miaomiao, Miao Meowmeow, Munya!
‘Players?’
Miaomiao had a bad feeling about this. He suddenly had a chill running down his spine as he had several wild guesses about this extinct race.
[“Ah, you’re interested in the Players Race?”]
‘Yes. What are they?’
[“Well, I heard it from Devil since I wasn’t born yet at that time…”]
“…”
Joshua accidentally slipped another significant piece of information about the Devil. From his words, Devil was older than Joshua, which was surprising.
Joshua briefly described the race.
First, their appearances varied – Some looked the same as humans. Some had long ears, beautiful faces, and feminine figures. Some were as short as a dwarf, and many appeared to be half-beast half-human hybrids.
The common characteristic of the Players was their growth. They couldn’t cultivate like cultivators, but they got stronger whenever they killed their opponents. They had no bottleneck or growth limits, and they could evolve their abilities when their power reached a certain threshold.
However, the most frightening part of this race was their ability to self-resurrect. Dead Players always came back to life after a day, a week, or a month.
Because of their resurrection abilities and their unlimited growth potential, they conquered so many galaxies within two decades. Their influence reached the star sectors of Heaven Realm and threatened the gods.
Fortunately, Mu-Nyang, the hero of the Cathulhu Race emerged. It was rumored that Mu-Nyang discovered the Players’ secret and disabled their resurrection abilities. Then, this terrorizing race was vanquished under the leadership of this Cathulhu God.
Cathulhu Race later claimed the Players’ planets as their god’s contribution rewards. Mu-Nyang created his own star systems as a new home for his race and never got involved with Heaven Realm’s political affairs ever since.
“Wow.”
Miaomiao had a clear idea of what the “Players” were. Even if he was not the smartest person in the universe, he could easily guess the identities and the Players’ secrets.
This sounded like a novel plot, a VRMMORPG Novel Plot.
Still, Miaomiao kept the information to himself.
[“For now, I want you to get out of there. You don’t want to mess with an Ancient Cathulhu God.”]
“…”
Even if Joshua never warned Miaomiao, he planned to leave this place soon anyway.
Miaomiao put all the catnip flower seeds into his system inventory, planning to plant them in his dantian space later. Then, he brought out Zhu Qiao’s teleportation talisman from his spatial ring.
RIP
Without hesitation, Miaomiao tore the paper, and his vision went black.
.
.
.
Miaomiao reopened his eyes and prepared for the worse. He spread his sense and got ready for combat.
“Mao Miaomiao?”
“Huh?”
Miaomiao’s heart jumped as he heard the haughty voice of someone he knew. He turned around.
The woman behind him was none other than Long Meifang, the child molester. She was sitting inside a Jacuzzi bathtub, naked, enjoying the perfume soap bath.
Miaomiao raised his fists to the sky as his Plot Armor Luck didn’t fail him.
“FUCK YEAH! I’M HOME!! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!”
Long Meifang was confused, “What’s the matter with you?”
Miaomiao turned around with a wild grin. He had the urge to shove his D into Long Meifang’s mouth to reward her, but he managed to stop his hands before he took off his pants.
“I was just lucky. Well, anyway. Excuse me,” Miaomiao coughed and dashed away from the bathroom in delight.
He hummed as he exited Long Meifang’s room, heading toward the front gate of the mansion.
But suddenly, the entire mansion twisted. The scenery was not realistic as the hallways of the mansion were not the same as what Miaomiao knew.
Still, he managed to reach the front gate and opened the door. However, he suddenly found himself inside Long Meifang’s bathroom again.
“Huh? Why am I back here?”
“Mao Miaomiao?”
Long Meifang was surprised, “Why did you suddenly appear? Where have you been?”
“Hmm?”
Miaomiao frowned as he found something amiss, but he couldn’t figure it out.
“Oh, by chance, are you here to take me as your concubine?” Long Meifang grinned and opened her legs.
“No. It was an accident. Excuse me.”
Miaomiao left Long Meifang’s room again. This time, he carefully walked toward the front gate of his mansion while he inspected his surroundings. At the same time, he spread his Qi sense, checking if someone played a prank on him.
He reached the exit and opened the door.
“Mao Miaomiao?”
“WHAT!?”
Without stepping his foot outside his mansion, he found himself in Long Meifang’s bathroom again.
“Why did you suddenly appear? Where have you been?”
“…”
For the second time, Long Meifang repeated her lines.
Miaomiao frowned and enveloped Long Meifang with his Qi strands, scanning her from head to toes.
But there was nothing wrong with her.
“Oh, by chance, are you here to take me as your concubine?”
Again, Long Meifang opened her legs, tempting Miaomiao.
“…”
Miaomiao felt like he was trapped in a looping dream, which he endlessly tried to travel to a certain place, but he kept getting back to the same starting point of the dream.
Miaomiao took several deep breaths and closed his eyes. Something wasn’t right, and he needed to confirm it with Dion.
‘Dion. If I’m being under hypnosis, a dream, or suffering from a soul attack skill like when I was tested by Venti, wake me up. However, cover my presence so that the mastermind can’t find out that I’m awake.’
Ding
With just the sound of a bell, the strange dream ended. Miaomiao finally sensed his real body once again.
Miaomiao continued to close his eyes, but he attempted to spread his sense to scan everything in a radius of 100 meters.
However, his sense was blocked by a familiar feeling.
Miaomiao slightly opened his eyes to check. Then, he discovered the Catnipium Jade and the same room that he was trapped in earlier.
“!!!”
Miaomiao jumped to his feet and looked around in shock.
“WHAT!? HOW!?”
“Oh, you’re up so fast, Munya. Your mental strength is strong. I was planning to dissect you, Munya!”
A pair of glowing red eyes stared at him from the hole in the ceiling. The owner of the voice slowly broke the green ore and poked his head inside the room.
It was a small head of a ginger cat and has the same feature as normal cats. However, the lower part of its body was that of octopus’ tentacles.
Miaomiao had a wry smile on his face. This was the first time that he got to see a Catopus for real.
It was too cute! He had the urge to hug or pet it.
Still, the tone of this cat was unfriendly.
It was planning to dissect him!
Miaomiao attempted to check the cat’s cultivation base right away.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see through the strength of this cat! It was a lot stronger than Miaomiao in terms of cultivation base and energy volume!
Miaomiao took a step back and took out another teleportation talisman, planning to flee from this place.
“Munya? Is that a teleportation talisman? Are you leaving already, Munya?”
“Yes. I’m sorry if I accidentally stumble on your turf. I’ll be taking my leave.”
“Hehe, Munya!”
WHOOSH
The talisman in Miaomiao’s hand suddenly vanished from his hands.
The Catopus appeared on top of Miaomiao’s head, gazing at the talisman that it had stolen from Miaomiao.
“Why do I have a feeling that this talisman was made by one of us, Munya? Even the calligraphy, lines, and words are the same as our inscription style, Munya! Hey, monkey. Where did you get this? Did you steal from one of our scribers, Munya!?”
The tentacles squeezed Miaomiao’s head, threatening to crush his skull.
The little tentacles were strangely powerful. Miaomiao had a severe headache as if his head was about to be crushed.
Being helpless, Miaomiao confessed, “I got it from a succubus with a system skill!”
“A SYSTEM SKILL, MUNYAAAA?!!”
The cat let go of Miaomiao’s head. It leaned its cat head down, staring into Miaomiao’s eyes with a dark expression.
“ONLY CATOPUSES AND CATHULHUS ARE SYSTEM USERS, MUNYA!! DON’T LIE, MUNYA!!”
“I-I’m telling you the truth.”
“…”
The cat’s red pupils stared into Miaomiao’s soul through the latter’s eyes. It repeated its question.
“Who gave you the talisman, Munya?”
“A succubus.”
“And that succubus has a system skill, Munya?”
“Yes, Munya,” Miaomiao mimicked the cat’s grammar as the end-particle word was too catchy.
Strangely, the Catopus relaxed. It got down from Miaomiao’s head and landed on the ground.
It looked up to him and sweetly meowed like a normal cat.
“Munya? Can you speak Mu-Nyo Language, Munya?”
“What’s Mu-Nyo Language, Munya?”
“It’s our language, Munya!”
“I see, Munya! I’m sorry, Munya. I can’t speak Mu-Nyo, Munya!”
“But you’re speaking it, Munya!”
“Really, Munya?”
“Yes! You just did, Munya!”
“…”
Miaomiao was confused. He wondered if adding “Munya” to the sentence would change his native language into Mu-Nyo Language.
“I see, Munya. Your language is so profound, Munya.”
“I know right, Munya! Say, what are you doing here under my house, Munya?”
Miaomiao sat down and relaxed. He began to explain.
…
“How unfortunate, Munya. So it was an accident, Munya.”
“Yes. An accident, Munya.”
“Okay, Munya. Where is your home? I’ll bring you home, Munya.”
“Err, Golden Heavenly Goose Planet, Munya.”
“Where is that, Munya?”
“I don’t know either, Munya.”
“You’re stupid, Munya.”
“…”
For some reason, the Catopus no longer emitted killing intent. It sat on Miaomiao’s laps, enjoying the chin scratch and the petting. It sometimes purred while it asked Miaomiao random things.
Miaomiao felt like he had just become a slave to this cat, but he didn’t know how and why.
“Anyway, I haven’t asked your name yet, Munya. I’m Miao Meowmeow, Munya!”
Miaomiao was on the verge of laughing, but he managed to hold it in.
“I’m Mao Miaomiao. Nice to meet you, Senior Miao Meowmeow, Munya.”
“Mao Miaomiao? Is Mao the “Mao” as a cat, Munya?”
“… Yes, Munya.”
“I like you, Munya! That’s a great name. You’re a good cat-monkey, Munya!”
“…”
Now, Miaomiao didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. He managed to upgrade himself from a monkey to a cat-monkey.
Click
Miaomiao didn’t realize when, but the Catopus put a leather chocker on his neck. It was also attached to a leash.
The choker injected a strand of weird Qi into his neck. Then, Dion gave him a piece of bad news.
[Your Dantian has been temporarily sealed by the cat-slave choker.]
[Please remove the choker to use your Qi.]
[You can still use your system menu, but please be careful.]
Ding
[Joshua has sent you a message.]
[“I told you to leave that planet. Look what you’ve done. Now, be careful and don’t openly use your system in front of those cats. Any Cathulhu can see your system menus!”]
“…”
Miaomiao immediately closed his system notification panels. He glanced at the cat whether he saw it.
Fortunately, this Munya cat didn’t notice his system.
“Follow me, Munya. I’ll register you as my pet, so no stinky Catopus can steal you from me, Munya!”
Finally, Miaomiao cried. He wanted to tear another random teleportation talisman and get out of here, but the choker disabled his Qi.
He couldn’t withdraw another item from his spatial ring!
Miaomiao secretly opened his system inventory menu by closing his eyes and summoning a tiny menu panel under his eyelid, checking if any teleportation talisman was in there.
He found a stack of Zhu Qiao’s talismans that he had kept as a backup.
Seeing the backup talisman, Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief. He then asked Dion to relay messages to Wei Yuan.
‘Dion. Tell Wei Yuan that I’ve run into a predicament on another planet. I will probably be able to return home in a few months.’
Ding
[Understood, Munya!]
“…”
The Catopus opened a large hole on the ceiling and dragged Miaomiao to the surface. He easily went through the layers of Catnipium Ores, thick rocks, and other bright minerals with ease.
As soon as Miaomiao got to the surface, he was astonished by what he saw.
A grand civilization of Catopuses and massive Cathulhus was before him.
