Chapter 148 – Cat Dad’s Slave is STRONG!
“R-Really?”
Lucky was overjoyed. She knew that spirit stones were precious and useful for boosting her strength and level. Peter and John also happily accepted the gifts right away.
The two men admired the spirit stones. Peter shed a tear of happiness while John brightly smiled, showing his perfect white teeth and canines.
On the other hand, Lucky looked at the spirit stones with hesitation. She pursed her lips.
“Master, I won’t be gaining EXP.”
“Hmm?”
Xiaomao rechecked her status and level.
.
Name: Lucky
Rarity: Uncommon
Race: Gnoll
Loyalty: 100%
Job: General, Slave
Level: 100/100 (Upgradable)
.
Xiaomao finally saw the problem – Lucky reached her level limit.
Still, the blinking word ‘Upgradable’ was highlighted and clickable. Xiaomao pressed the word to examine the detail.
The menu was simple. It showed the requirement for the upgrade, which was an uncommon-grade character NFT. However, there was some extra information.
.
Upgrade Level Limit
Requires a sacrifice to upgrade this character. After the upgrade, this NPC can increase its level limit to 200.
Upgrade Ingredient: One uncommon-grade character NFT, an elite monster, or a level-100 NPC.
*[Cathulhu Instinct]: Don’t overthink. Just sacrifice your useless NFTs and get this over with.
*[Foresight]:
The Mazinger Race among the character NFTs can be used without a consequence. After all, they are followers of Pangu, and they will rebel against you if they find out that you’re antagonizing Pangu and Nian. Get rid of them!.
Xiaomao had a hundred uncommon-grade NFT in his account, so he could easily sacrifice one of them. However, he felt a sharp pain in his heart as he thought about throwing one of them away to increase her power.
He looked at Peter and John. Their existence reminded him that all NFT characters might have a soul or a consciousness inside. Even his current game avatar might have been robbed from someone.
‘Should I?’
Xiaomao checked the advice of Instinct-Senpai and Foresight-Senpai next.
Surprisingly, the modifier of Instinct-Senpai was revealed. It was, after all, the hidden instinct of the Cathulhu Race.
Xiaomao bitterly smiled at the text. He believed that it was the soul of the NFT avatar’s owner, but it got trapped in the game system like the other retainers. However, the cat had been giving providing suggestions and advice ever since Xiaomao started playing.
‘I guess I owe you a big favor, little cat. But don’t worry. Once the synchronization rate is max, I’ll set you free one day.’
Xiaomao patted his head as if he was petting the Cathulhu. His body moved by itself as he purred.
Then, Instinct-Senpai’s advice changed as if he understood Xiaomao.
.
*[Cathulhu Instinct]: No biggie. All NFTs are just clones of living beings of primordial era, and my soul isn’t trapped in here whatsoever. Actually, I’m still living and kicking, munya!
.
Seeing the explanation, Xiaomao was relieved. At least, he wouldn’t have to bear the guilty conscience of killing an innocent soul for upgrading Lucky.
With the moral issue out of the way, Xiaomao followed Foresight-Senpai’s instructions. He pressed the upgrade button.
A new menu appeared and prompted Xiaomao to pick a sacrifice to upgrade Lucky.
Xiaomao explored his uncommon-rarity NFT cards in his account. As he had a hundred of them, it took a while to pick a useless one from the group.
A minute later, Xiaomao found one of the characters that came with the Mazinger Race. The portrait and the example of the character were a giant barbarian with long hair, a muscular body, and a scary face.
.
Rarity: Uncommon
Race: Mazinger
Job: Barbarian
Unique Skills: None
Racial Skills: Karma Spiritual Root, Karmic Knowledge
.
Xiaomao narrowed his eyes. He didn’t pay attention to the racial skills before, but now, he understood why Mazinger Race was so strong.
It came with the unique karma spiritual root and karmic knowledge, which other races didn’t have. Moreover, they belonged to Pangu Faction!
Xiaomao didn’t like it. He wouldn’t use this character as a retainer in the future, and it was a waste of space.
Without hesitation, he picked the NFT as the sacrifice. After putting the card into the sacrificial slot, he pressed the enter button.
RUMBLE
A transparent figure of the giant manifested in front of Xiaomao. He glared at him with hatred, and it also talked!
“You will never win, Cathulhu!”
“…”
The transparent silhouette shattered and dissipated into dust, and they entered Lucky’s body, merging with her.
DING
<Lucky has assimilated with the character NFT!>
<Lucky’s level limit has increased by 100!>
<Lucky has learned a new racial skill, Karma Spiritual Root!>
<Lucky’s character rarity has been upgraded to Rare!>
<All Lucky’s status attributes and spiritual roots have increased!>
Excited, Xiaomao brought out the new skeleton armor set for Lucky and had her wear them. He also equipped her with a giant bone axe and a bone shield.
Then, Xiaomao rechecked her status.

.
Xiaomao nodded. Now, she had the status of a proper tank when she had the proper gear. Her new combat potential surpassed all players on the same level.
However, her spiritual roots were unique. As a dungeon boss, she was built differently as her roots concentrated on both fire and metal. But now, a new root appeared.
Xiaomao clicked on the karma spiritual root to see its detail and explanation.
BZZZ
<You cannot see through the karma of Lucky.>
<Please obtain the karma spiritual root first.>
Unfortunately, not everything in this world was perfect.
Since he couldn’t see the karma detail, he urged Lucky and others to take the spirit stones.
“Alright, eat the stones, and we’ll be visiting many places when the sun rises!”
Xiaomao also brought out 100 stones and used all of them at once.
DING
<You have gained one billion EXP!>
<Your Level has increased by 14!>
<You are now Level 153!>
<Your Qi has permanently increased by 10,000!>
<Your Luck has permanently increased by 100!>
<All your status attributes have permanently increased by 100!>
<All your status spiritual roots have permanently increased by 100!>
<Your Max HP and MP have permanently increased by 1,000!>
Not only did Xiaomao’s level increase, but John, Peter, and Lucky’s level also rose.
Lucky’s level was easier to raise. She hit the level cap of 200 in one go. As for John and Peter, they required less EXP to level up. Peter reached level 200, but John was level 175 as he was an SR character, who required more EXP than rare characters.
Xiaomao was satisfied with the doping. He rested and waited for the sunrise.
