Chapter 355 Cat Dad’s First Dungeon Meeting
Chapter 355 – Cat Dad's First Dungeon Meeting
= Slave Dungeon =
When Xiaomao returned to the dungeon, all immortals and Meowmeow gathered all dungeon supervisors for a meeting right away.
Taotie, Mimir, Mary, Cookie, Ifrit, Gata, Joan, Party Queen, Fu De, Torrent, and Xiaomao's other retainers were also called here to listen to the meeting. In addition to the original dungeon residents, surrendered players also sent a representative to join this meeting.
Master Yeet, the guild leader of [Slave Dungeon Mob], was permitted to visit the B7 floor. The ex-swordsman, now a swordswoman, also joined the meeting, which was held in the gang's favorite gathering spot – The Final Boss Room.
However, Meowmeow didn't start the meeting right away. He told everybody to wait and introduce themselves.
Meowmeow smiled at Madoka, "Octoslut, could you introduce yourself to the members here first, munya? Since you and I are in the same generation, you should be humble to your juniors, munya."
Madoka's face twitched as nobody but Meowmeow called her by the nickname. She looked at Xiaomao, hoping to get his approval to discipline this cheeky cathulhu.
Xiaomao shook his head, "Behave, munya. He's my mentor and benefactor."
"Master, if you need a mentor, I can teach you, too."
"It's different, munya. Without him, I wouldn't be alive today."
Hearing Xiaomao's praise, Meowmeow puffed his chest and widely grinned. Madoka noticed the smug expression of the cat and grumbled.
"Okay… I won't cause trouble."
Madoka took a deep breath and remained composed. She introduced herself to other immortals.
"I'm Madoka, the Scylla Goddess from Mermaid Kingdom's Border Town. I was the secretary of finance, defense, and logistics. My strongest fortes are money laundering, robbery, treasure hunting, scavenging, and castrating cheeky Cathulhus."
Xiaomao broke a sweat, "I'll soon evolve into a Cathulhu though, munya."
"Of course, master. How could I ever harm you? Instead, I know a few pill recipes that can boost your libido and increase your sperm production. Do you need one?"
"… Maybe another time, munya."
Madoka giggled and ignored the surprised expressions on the meeting attendees' faces.
After Madoka's introduction, the others chatted and got to know Alice. Vice versa, the succubus loli discovered that Xiaomao had so many strong friends. She paid extra attention to Party Queen, whose level was the same as hers.
"Kikikiki!"
As usual, Party Queen spoke in her laughing language. Alice couldn't understand this weird monster with a written smiley face.
30 minutes later, the other members of Slave Dungeon arrived. Cernun, who transformed into a lizardman, led his group to the boss's room.
Following Cernun was the members of his forest. Magdalene managed to become an adult fairy and followed her husband and her new sisters. Fairy Queen Titania, Water Spirit Queen Qidia, and ex-princess Yuan Hua escorted Shepherd here. As for the harem owner, he looked more dignified than before as his strength grew.
Cernun's disciple, Wei Zhi, followed her mentor to the dungeon as well. She put on her new battle suit, which she got from the other fairies on the island. It was full-body armor for knights, but the soft joints of the plate armor made it easy for her to move around. Her tall physique, crimson aura, red armor, and Oni's appearance stood out from the rest of the crew.
When Wei Zhi saw Xiaomao in his catopus appearance, her aura faded. She rushed to the cat and hugged him.
"Xiaomao!"
"Munya?"
Xiaomao was taken aback. He didn't remember that they were that intimate.
Alice and Madoka furrowed their brows as they didn't approve of Wei Zhi. They inspected her cultivation base and snorted in disgust.
Wei Zhi, Calamity Fiend of Vengeance, Level 999
From their perspective, a calamity fiend title was a waste of her. Had they found Wei Zhi before they had met Xiaomao, they would have claimed her life and stolen the title from her. Fortunately, they understood their positions and refrained from offending their master.
On the other hand, Xiaomao was surprised to see how strong Wei Zhi was.
"Where have you been farming or training, munya? How come your level is so high?!"
Wei Zhi sobbed, "I trained hard, Xiaomao. You know, my dad died."
"I'm sorry, munya."
"It's okay. I get to spar with his counterpart in my dantian. If I miss him, I can simply summon him to fight me."
"Oh?"
When Wei Zhi mentioned that she had a unique dantian, Alice and Madoka changed their impression of her. They wondered if this Oni had the potential to become a deity.
The other dungeon residents were also astonished, especially Master Yeet. As she could tell that Wei Zhi was a player, he was elated that he had joined the correct faction.
Master Yeet was elated.
'I need to learn their secrets. They know a way to grind EXP fast! Oh, wait. That's right. The cultivation method!'
The swordsman grinned. She took a mental note that she would use that cultivation technique that she had obtained from Mary after this meeting.
While Wei Zhi became the center of attention among the crowd, Ifrit and Qidia secretly conversed with their voice transmission.
'I see that you have a new sugar daddy, cunning bitch.'
'Are you still salty that I dumped you?'
'Because of you, my palace is in ruin! Give me back my treasures!'
'Ha! What's mine is mine! It was you who gave them to me. No refund!'
Ifrit took a step forward, and his killing intent erupted. But before he could take the second step, Shepherd approached Ifrit.
The retainer had grown a lot stronger like Wei Zhi. His level got stuck at 999 like hers, but his air and demeanor were different. A halo and holy light seemed to follow him everywhere. Each step he took caused the algae and moss on the ground to spread. After he lifted his feet, sprouts and plants grew instantly.
Although Shepherd had mysterious power and majestic air, he sometimes turned around and cleaned the growing trees in a hurry, acting like an airhead. He scratched his head and laughed to hide his embarrassment.
"Senior Ifrit."
"!!!"
As soon as Shepherd uttered a word, Taotie and Mimir widely grinned while Andrew and Peter were shocked.
He could talk now?!
The two dwarves rushed to their colleagues and used their hand sign language. However, Shepherd hushed them and pushed them away.
"Sorry, guys. I have something to discuss with the senior. Please be quiet for a moment."
"…"
Peter and Andrew nodded. They turned their attention to John next.
But then, John dropped another bomb.
"Behave guys."
"!!!"
John, like Shepherd, gained his ability to talk. While Shepherd had been training, he wasn't slacking either. As a templar high priest, he quickly adapted to his new skills and abilities. Now, he was at level 899, aka the 8th stage of Soul Formation Realm.
The two dwarves sulked as their friends got strong so fast. They rushed to Mimir and pestered him next.
While Peter and Andrew threw a tantrum and tried to get Mimir's attention, Shepherd continued his business. He pulled out several boxes and crates from his inventory and put them on the ground in front of Ifrit.
"Senior, I believe these items are rightfully yours. I'm giving it back to you."
"Hmm?"
Ifrit was surprised. He looked at the crates and boxes in confusion at first.
Then, he discovered something that he hadn't seen for centuries. Inside the boxes and crates were the treasures and artifacts that he had given Qidia in the past.
"T-These artifacts…"
Qidia also noticed it. She protested her husband, "Dear, what are you doing?!"
Shepherd turned to his wife and bitterly smiled, "I'm grateful that you've been showing me your love. But Qidia, you mustn't take advantage of others for my sake. The sins you committed will destroy your potential and degrade your luck in the long run. Let me cleanse it for you."
The messiah clarified to Ifrit, "I know that senior and Qidia were once husband and wife. She scammed you and destroyed your life. But since fate allows us to meet, let me correct it for you."
Ifrit looked at his lost items. His expression turned solemn, and his eyes were moist.
"Senior, use them and get your life back on track. I also add something in the mix that you might like it."
Ifrit raised his brow. He rechecked the containers to find the gift that Shepherd had prepared for him. Then, he discovered an artifact that he had given up on searching for.
It was an Entity Crystal for his flame race, which could only be found in his destroyed home world. With it, Ifrit could absorb its essence and unlock his potential for ascension.
The bulky flame man shed a manly tear. He grabbed Shepherd's hands.
"GRATEFUL MAX, MUSCLES! YOU'RE THE MANLIEST DUDE I'VE EVER SEEN, MUSCLES!"
"Err, please don't shout. It's embarrassing."
"I NEED TO LET THE WORLD KNOW, MUSCLES! YOU'RE THE DEFINITION OF THE CHADEST CHAD, MUSCLES!"
"Erm, by the way, why do you end your sentences with muscles…?
Everybody in the room laughed, except Cernun's crew. Mimir explained, "The dungeon gets bigger and more crowded, so everybody starts adding their catchphrases or signature words in their sentences. TL; DR, they want to become animals."
"…"
Shepherd dryly laughed. He understood that Xiaomao and Meowmeow always MUNYAed because it was their racial nature. But adding buzzwords because of their preference was unnecessary.
Ifrit started making loud noises while he hugged Shepherd. As for Qidia, she pouted and sulked as Shepherd could have used those items and advanced to the immortal realm like her.
As everybody started to get noisy, Meowmeow coughed and brought out a wooden hammer. He knocked it on the round table in front of him to get everyone's attention.
"Order, munya!"
The room was quiet again. They looked at Meowmeow.
The cathulhu transformed into a Cathulhu. His physique grew bigger, but he limited his size to 3 meters. Then, his tentacles pulled out whiteboard pens and a large whiteboard from his inventory.
Meowmeow noted the meeting agendas on the whiteboard. Then, he started the meeting.
"Let's get down to business, munya. Our today's priority agenda is the upcoming patch and the new worlds, munya!"
