Chapter 122 – Cat Dad’s New Evolution Material

Xiaomao reappeared on the frigate. When he opened his eyes, a series of notification messages appeared before him.

<Fu De has left your party.>

<Congratulations. You have completed the quest: Pitiful Vampire.>

<Please visit Cernun to receive the rewards.>

<Meowmeow, the Cathulhu of Wealth and Prosperity, has taken notice of your presence.>

<Meowmeow has recognized your scent. Current favorability: 4 Stars.>

<Meowmeow has given you a gift.>

<John Preacher wishes to serve you. Will you accept him as your servant?>

<James Greatman wishes to serve you. Will you accept him as your servant?>

<Peter S. Fisher wishes to serve you. Will you accept him as your servant?>

Xiaomao looked around and found Lucky, who had a stiff expression on her face. He turned to Shepherd next. The fisherman sweated profusely and whistled, pretending to be casual.

The catopus frowned.

“Did you all do something when I was away?”

Shepherd and Lucky repeatedly shook their heads.

Seeing that the two retainers refused to confess, he turned to Andrew next.

Andrew grinned. He smacked his chest and gave Xiaomao a thumbs up. Then, he pointed at Shepherd.

Again, Xiaomao frowned. He looked at Magdalene, demanding an explanation with his expression. However, Lucky chose to explain instead of letting the fairy talk.

“M-Master. Here’s the deal. Fu De has recovered his strength and brought the prisoners to Cernun by himself. He also gave us a blessing. A-Anyway, Cernun also sent a gift for you. The item is with Shepherd.”

“…”

Something seemed fishy. Xiaomao looked at Shepherd again.

Shepherd’s eyes shifted, but he handed over the item that Meowmeow gave them.

Xiaomao received it and inspected the item description.

._.

Refined Entity Crystal

In this universe, nobody is an entity but a subject to god. If the god wants to, he can erase your existence on a whim. Your life, luck, and destiny are controlled by him. In short, you’re nothing but a fish in a fish tank, whose life is at the mercy of the god.

Entity Crystals are the bane of god’s authority. By keeping this with you, you will not be tied by the karma of the creator, and you can steal luck from the gods.

Item Type: Evolution Material

Rarity: Ultra-Rare

Effect: By keeping Refined Entity Crystal in your inventory, you will obtain the following effects;

– Immunity to all curses.

– Automatically purify and remove abnormal status effects on self and equipment.

– Every day, reset all negative and positive karma to zero. For every 100 points of negative and positive karma changed, increase your LUCK by 1.

NOTE:

You cannot keep this item in your premium backpack, warehouse, or store inventory. This item is guaranteed to drop from your body if you died.

.

Before Xiaomao could finish reading the item description, system messages warned him of the changes in his items.

DING

<You are immune to the Curse of Hunger.>

<You are immune to the Curse of Greed. >

<Cursed Claw Gauntlets have been purified.>

<Your negative karma and positive karma have been reset. Your LUCK has permanently increased by 530.>

<You are no longer a criminal.>

<Your bounty has been removed.>

Xiaomao’s pupils dilated, dumbfounded by the series of messages.

When Xiaomao was resting earlier, he was worried about how he would enter the city with his criminal status. But now, all his worries and plans were thrown out of the windows because of one item.

The cursed claws were upgraded as a result.

.

Purified Claw Gauntlet

The origin of this claw gauntlet is unknown, but Mama Warden used it when she worked as a warden of the Gnoll Prison. Its four claws can cut to iron plates like tofu, and it is light, easy to use for beginners.

Item Type: Weapon

Rarity: Rare

Requirement: Level 20

Effect: ATK + 400, AGI + 100

Durability: 1,000/1,000

.

In the past, this item only gave 200 attack power each. Now, its stats doubled, and its durability was restored.

Even though Xiaomao’s weapons were upgraded to the limit, he was more interested in the crystal’s purpose than its effects.

‘Am I too lucky lately?! Isn’t this the 4th evolution material?! The hell?!’

Xiaomao needed seven items to evolve his character – Cathulhu Essence Core, Crystallized Catnip Essence, Refined Entity Crystal, Karmic Soul Stone, Akashic Memory Card, Ancient Dao Stone, and Karma Fish.

Xiaomao had four of them – Refined Entity Crystal, Karmic Soul Stone, Akashic Memory Card, and Karma Fish! Just three more, and he could become the legendary Cathulhu!

The goal was right in front of Xiaomao as he had already commissioned the purchase of Cathulhu Essence Core from Tang Yuan, the merchant guild branch manager of Seaside Town. It would be delivered to his warehouse in less than a month.

As for the crystallized catnip essence, it could be found in deep sea dungeons. However, Ancient Dao Stone could only be acquired from the future patch or as the reward for being the first to discover a safe zone in a dungeon.

‘I have four, and one is on its way in three weeks or so. I only need to find two more safe zones, and I’m gold!’

As long as Xiaomao could become a Cathulhu and upgrade his character’s rarity by another tier, no player in the third world would be his rival.

“Thanks, munya! You’ve done well.”

Xiaomao ignored what Shepherd and Lucky had been doing behind his back. Since they didn’t seem to be hostile against him, Xiaomao didn’t mind if they acted out on their own. After all, everybody here had a soul.

Hearing that Xiaomao didn’t scold them or find out what they did, the crew was relieved.

Xiaomao looked at James, John, and Peter next. He stared at the offer and their faces.

“Why do you want to work for me?”

James, John, and Peter couldn’t talk. They knelt and gazed at Xiaomao with bright eyes.

Seeing that he couldn’t get a verbal answer from them, Xiaomao checked his available retainer slot. So far, he had six slots, but he already used three for Shepherd, Lucky, and Andrew.

If Xiaomao accepted the trio, he would run out of retainer slots. He would need to increase his contribution level again.

“Alright. I need crewmates, munya. If you want to work for me that badly, do as you like.”

<You have accepted John Preacher, James Greatman, and Peter S. Fisher as new retainers.>

The three retainer slots were all occupied. They would be treated like support characters of Xiaomao, but their loyalty could fluctuate like slaves.

Xiaomao didn’t care about their loyalty. As long as they were temporarily useful, he didn’t mind taking them in.

Peter, James, and John celebrated. Andrew and Shepherd hugged them, and the trio cried in joy.

Xiaomao tilted his head, staring at the silent people. He wondered why they were overreacting.

.

One hour later, Xiaomao looked at the sky, looking at his name.

The red name was magically gone. The shining gold name returned, and it radiated rays of light, annoying Xiaomao. Because of frustration, he activated the Chameleon skill, hiding his name.

However, something was wrong. The hourly announcement didn’t come.

After a long day of struggle, not having a beacon felt strange. Xiaomao had a bad feeling about this.

He reviewed the recent game messages that he overlooked earlier. He looked at a certain line.

<You are immune to the Curse of Greed.>

‘Since when have I been inflicted with the Curse of Greed? What is this curse?’

Xiaomao connected the curse to the game mechanic. Although he wasn’t sure, his instinct told him that it was related to the light beacons.

At a glance, a game mechanic shouldn’t be related to curses. However, Xiaomao was aware that the game was not a digitalized world.

‘How convenience.’

Without the beacons, Xiaomao ordered his crew to sail closer to the shoreline.

“Next destination, Siren West Port, munya!”

.

Siren West Port was the only port that connected to Siren City. It was famous for its commercial port, which was close to the Blood Bamboo Forest.

When Wellerboy approached the port, nobody panicked or paid attention to the ship. The patrol ships of Siren Port only sent light signals, directing Xiaomao to the available port.
