Chapter 159 – Cat Dad Equips Cursed Eyeball
‘Double stats?! Too OP. Much broken. Very hax. Wow!’
Had this game been a regular VRMMO game, Xiaomao would have saved a screenshot and sold this item in the player auction house for quick cash before it was fixed or adjusted. However, as this game was a real-world somewhere in the universe, Xiaomao would never sell it.
Why should he sell it when he could use it?
He was immune to curses. Obviously, he could exploit this!
Without hesitation, Xiaomao tried to equip it even if it might dig his eye out. He pressed it on his forehead and thought of equipping this.
“NOOOO, KITTY!!” Taotie was horrified by Xiaomao’s action, yet he didn’t attempt to save Xiaomao. Instead, he backpedaled, getting ready to ditch the cat here.
Wiggle
The eyeball suddenly grew small tentacles, and they stabbed into Xiaomao’s forehead. It dug a portion of his flesh out and buried itself inside.
Xiaomao gritted his teeth and watched his HP decrease by 1,000 per second. The small tentacles of the eyeball scratched and pierced into his skull and infiltrated into his soft brain.
Xiaomao could feel the cold tentacles inside his head. It felt like a flow of cold water running inside him. But a second later, the sharp headache hit him.
“AAAAAHHHHH!!”
Xiaomao’s HP decreased by 20,000 at once. Fortunately, he was prepared. The cat drank potions and recovered his HP by 10,000.
SOEK
“MUNYAAAAAAAA!!”
The tentacles cut something inside his head. Xiaomao collapsed and thrashed on the ground, struggling to stop this torturous headache.
Again, a huge number appeared.
20,000!
After two major damages, Xiaomao was left with a bit over 13,000 HP. One more tick and he might die.
Xiaomao didn’t care anymore. As he wanted to live, he grabbed a bottle of sacred water and drank it.
His HP went up by 10,000, getting his total HP over 20,000.
SOEK!
20,000 DAMAGE!
“NYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!! MAKE IT STOP!!”
The thing inside him snapped something in the middle of his head. Again, Xiaomao rolled around and slammed his forehead against the hard floor. While he was at it, he started casting healing spells.
“SELF HEAL! HEAL! AREA HEAL! PARTY HEAL!”
Four spells were activated at once. At the same time, the tentacles caused more damage.
+ 14,529
+ 19,372
20,000 DAMAGE!
+ 12,107
+ 12,107
20,000 DAMAGE!
The healing spells managed to offset the damages so far. However, the spells were now on cooldown.
Xiaomao’s eyes were bloodshot. His cognitive abilities were in overdrive mode as the pain and the fear of death heightened his concentration. In one-tenth of a second, he glanced at his game menu to check his remaining HP.
21,616 / 46,501
He calculated in his mind. As all potions took about one second to recover 2,000 HP. Meanwhile, the annoying eyeball randomly hit him once or twice every 10 seconds.
At a glance, Xiaomao should be able to self-sustain. However, the randomness of the tentacle made it impossible.
Xiaomao checked the cooldown of his healing spells next.
Self-Heal – 10 Seconds
Heal – 15 Seconds
Area Heal – 20 Seconds
Party Heal – 30 Seconds
Things didn’t look well. If the tentacles suddenly double-stabbed him while he was waiting for the cooldown time to end, Xiaomao would have died before he could even cast the spells.
Without a choice, Xiaomao risked it. He drank as many potions as he could while he had over 20,000 HP.
Three seconds later, the tentacles caused another severe headache, and Xiaomao’s HP decreased.
7,616 / 46,501
Xiaomao needed to survive seven seconds to use the next self-heal. However, he didn’t have enough time.
Afraid of the next damage, Xiaomao brought out another sacred water bottle.
He had already drunk one. And now, he was about to drink another even though the detail said that he could only drink 100cc per day!
“SCREW IT, MUNYA! I’LL DIE IF I DON’T DRINK THIS!”
Xiaomao swallowed another 100cc of sacred water. Because of the doubt, nervousness, and fear, Xiaomao’s tentacles trembled, and he splashed some content into his face and the eyeball.
DING
<Warning! You are drinking too much Sacred Water!>
<The energy inside you is surging!>
Xiaomao’s body heated up. His fur turned red, and his breath emitted hot air.
He could no longer move. His entire body collapsed on the floor, and his tentacles went numb.
Xiaomao thought to himself. This might be the end for him. Flashes of memory came to his mind, thinking and regretting his past decisions.
+ 10,000 HP
+ 2,000
19,616 / 46,501
Xiaomao looked at his remaining HP in the game menu.
‘I fucked up. Just end this and get this over with.’
He closed his eyes and waited for his demise. But Xiaomao forgot one thing.
“I see what you’re trying to do. You also have a very interesting potion. It’s a waste if I let you die in front of me! NIHIL!”
Taotie suddenly roared and opened a dark portal above Xiaomao. A gush of flame fluid rained upon Xiaomao, soaking him with strange burning blood.
DING
<The excess Qi has been expelled by NIHIL Blood.>
<The abnormal status [Estrus] has been removed.>
+ 1,000,000 HP
– 1,000,000 MP
Xiaomao widened his eyes in astonishment. In exchange for his MP, he was healed to the full HP!
20,000 DAMAGE!
Just in time, the damage came. However, the burning blood on the ground still healed Xiaomao.
+ 1,000,000 HP
– 1,000,000 MP
Taotie smirked and stood next to the cat. He tilted his head and inspected Xiaomao’s third eye on the forehead.
The lion flipped Xiaomao over and let the latter face upward. He carefully adjusted the dark portal closer to the eyeball.
“Hehehe. Who would have thought that I get to experiment with this? Again… NIHIL!”
The burning blood stopped pouring out of the portal, but a wisp of black fire appeared and landed on the eyeball’s iris.
SCREECH!
The eyeball screamed and squirmed. Transparent souls were ejected from the eyeball and wailed in pain as well.
Taotie sneered at the ghost-like souls. He opened his mouth and shot out his tongue like a frog, latching on the souls of Mazingers. Then, he pulled them into his mouth and chomped on them.
CRUNCH
Even though they were spirit-like beings, Taotie’s fangs crushed and chewed them like a crunchy snack.
Suddenly, Taotie’s body shone in a green light, and his level was restored. He returned to the level-5,555 monster.
Looking at how Taotie behaved, Xiaomao understood now how it got the title of calamitous monster. Its trickeries and survivability were insanely strong for a world boss.
There was a meme. Players always used healing spells and healing items to self-sustain during the fight, and all bosses never complained. But when a boss used a healing spell once, all players lost their minds.
Xiaomao imagined how players would react when they faced Taotie. He couldn’t stop smiling, thinking of their reactions.
“I see that you’re feeling better, silly cat.”
Realizing that he was no longer in pain, Xiaomao tried to move his tentacle legs and arms.
“Ah.”
He could move now. It seemed that the eyeball’s tentacles stopped moving in his brain.
When Xiaomao got up, his head wavered. His balance was off, and he couldn’t maintain his posture.
To adjust his balance, Xiaomao blinked and scratched his ears and eyes. But after rubbing his eyes, Xiaomao realized the strange thing about himself.
He indeed closed his eyes, but he still had the overall vision.
Xiaomao covered his two eyes and deeply inhaled. He focused on the vision.
BLINK BLINK
Indeed, the vision came from another eye – The forehead eye. In addition, the focus area was a lot wider than his regular vision.
“Whoa.”
“How is it? Is it fun having more than two eyes for the first time?”
Taotie was amused. He shape-shifted and reverted into the beast-like form. On Taotie’s forehead, there was another eye, similar to Xiaomao’s third eye. In addition, a dozen eyeballs appeared on his back, legs, and arms.
Xiaomao was horrified by the sight. He leaped backward in panic.
“HAHAHAHA! Don’t be afraid, kitty. You’ll be like me sooner or later. In fact, you’ll use this often when you fight!”
“…”
Xiaomao was speechless. He gulped while his two regular eyes looked up.
Strangely, Xiaomao could now control his third eye without the influence of the two regular eyes. He could look down while the others looked up. When he did that, Xiaomao saw two visions – One from the third eye and the other one from the normal eyes.
Taotie continued to laugh at Xiaomao, but the latter was excited by the newly acquired body part. He also didn’t forget to recheck his stats after he equipped the eye.
