Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 228 – Cat Dad's Character is Perfectly Balanced

"Already fled, eh?"

Xiaomao scoffed after dropping a simple shaman fireball at Marcus's base. However, Marcus was not in his camp.

"I should have expected this. I guess they rigged the votes."

Xiaomao knew about the rules of urban maps as they were infamous for their unique rules.

The battlefield in this map was like another game mode. Instead of destroying or capturing their opponent's castle, they had to hunt down the opponent's guild leader.

Moreover, a guild could change its guild leader at any moment. All they needed to do was to pass the guild's FLAG to the guild member. Then, the person with the flag would be assigned as the temporary guild leader for the guild war match.

Secondly, both side could not instantly build any structure. Their SP could only be used for either summoning a player or purchasing raw materials for buildings. They had to build defensive structures themselves without a blueprint or help from the game!

Thirdly, there was no quest NPC here! To obtain more SP, players were required to find supplies on the map, which were scattered throughout the ruined buildings.

And lastly, this map wouldn't be nicknamed POST APOCALYPSE for nothing. Every minute, zombies, mutants, and monsters would be spawned randomly across the map, and they could track down the players' locations.

During the first few minutes, the monsters were weak. But as the match continued, stronger monsters appeared and proactively hunt down every player on the map.

As Xiaomao didn't want to waste time, he took a deep breath and sang.

"MU-NYA-NYA!"

Five shaman fireballs manifested over his head. Each was at least 100 meters in diameter, and they shone like the sun.

.

Fire Magic Innate Talent

This innate talent only appears when you have over 50,000 points in Fire Spiritual Roots. This innate talent grants an ability to ignore any fire-related ability's cooldown time by spending additional MP. In addition, multi-casting is possible if the caster uses fire spells.

Skill Type: Passive

Rarity: Uncommon

Effects:

- Grant an ability to cast multiple fire spells at once. (Max Limit: 5)

- Grant an ability to ignore fire spell cooldown time. Increase the MP consumption by the leftover time. (1 minute = 100% increase)

.

This skill appeared automatically after Xiaomao's Fire Spiritual Roots surpassed 50,000. Because of Ifrit's blessing, Xiaomao's fire spiritual roots jumped from 10,000ish to over 50,000.

With the ability to multi-cast fire spells and ignore the cooldown, Xiaomao could now spam shaman fireballs.

Moreover, the fireball's size and power were strengthened because of Ifrit's blessing. Every ball was a small tactical nuclear bomb that could evaporate tall buildings into smoke.

Xiaomao tucked his hoodie and tossed four fireballs in every direction. Then, he ordered the last fireball to hit the place below him.

BOOM

BOOM

Rundown buildings collapsed one after another, but Xiaomao kept circling around and summoned five more miniature suns.

"WHERE-ARE-YOUUUUU-MUNYA?"

Xiaomao sang and cackled like a villain. He randomly destroyed more buildings.

DING

<You have destroyed a mutated flesh generator.>

<You have earned 200 SP!>

<You have killed a zombie queen.>

<You have earned 200 SP!>

<You have killed a hound pack leader.>

<You have earned 200 SP!>

Destroying buildings was a part of Xiaomao's plan.

In this map, there were many ways to earn additional SP. Aside from finding supplies, players could simply hunt leaders of monsters, zombies, and mutants to earn SP.

The first few waves only gave players 200-500ish SP. But after 10 minutes, bigger waves would appear, and the monsters would be harder to kill.

Meanwhile, Lisa and Pan Mei watched the fight in astonishment. They didn't expect Xiaomao to suddenly bombard the city at the get-go.

The official live stream chat was also wild. Many Xiaomao fans spammed emojis and mocked the Spartan Guild.

"That Yuumi knockoff is nuking!"

"Kitty is on crack LOL!"

"FREEDOM INCOMING!"

"Our cat god is spreading freedom. As an American, I am proud!"

"This game is perfectly balanced with no exploits!"

"^ Said the Spiff!"

Pan Mei's face turned pale. He rechecked Xiaomao's level and stats.

Xiaomao, Level 312

He was confused. Wasn't Xiaomao level 297 a couple of days ago? How did he increase his level so fast in a day or two?

While Pan Mei was not paying attention, Lisa's mouth didn't stop.

"Xiaomao has wiped out all three mob leaders around Marcus's camp. Now, his side has more than 600 SP! Will he summon his friends at last? No, he keeps searching and bombing the city! There's no end to the explosive fireballs! But where is Marcus? Oh, he's running. He's jumping from one building to another, and Xiaomao doesn't see him… wait… HE HAS NOTICED!"

In the span of a few seconds, Xiaomao managed to flush out Marcus from his hiding place. Without hesitation, he dropped five fireballs on the Spartan Guild's leader.

Marcus turned around and brought out his tower shield. He raised it and blocked the fireballs.

Lisa kept on talking.

"Marcus is activating defensive skills. One, two, three… five… FIVE SKILLS IN SUCCESSION! And…"

BOOM

BOOM

.

Meanwhile, Marcus looked back and saw the miniature suns coming down toward him. He snorted and bellowed.

"You can't kill me that easily! Take this! Reactive Armor! Spell Reflection! Fire Resistance Boost! Magic Mirror! Magic Return to Sender!"

Five super rare skills were activated at the same time, and five colorful domes appeared, shielding Marcus from the incoming fireballs.

While raising his tower shield, Marcus secretly brought out an enchanted AK-47. He loaded it with one hand and prepared to counterattack.

Unfortunately, the fireballs landed first, and he was forced to log out of the game.

.

"Wow…"

Lisa finally stopped talking after the number of damage appeared. She was speechless.

The chat was also stunned.

"He so dead."

"Is kitty a raid boss or a player?"

"This game is perfectly balanced with no exploits!"

Pan Mei also noticed the strength of Xiaomao's spell. He double-checked the latter's stats and discovered a certain spirit king's blessing.

Once again, Pan Mei's face turned red during the broadcast. He turned around and kicked his couch, sending it flying, and hit the backstage set, destroying the background.

The live stream channel, which featured Pan Mei, abruptly ended that day.

.

.

Xiaomao scoffed and looked at the notification message of his damage output.

CRITICAL HIT

1,089,174!

A million damage came from his simple spell!

Xiaomao was relieved as he saw the glimpse of hope to catch up with the absurd immortal's strength. Also, he was more confident about taking on Joan and her Valkyrie Guild.

"My game character is perfectly balanced, munya!"
