“It really looks like a real cat. This is a real cat. Is this a real cat?”

“The owner just took a retarded video to entertain us. It’d be meaningless if he’s being serious. The cat is obviously fake.”

Most of the people were rational, so they thought the video owner was just making this up. They thought the cat must be fake.

No cats could go so long without blinking, and it was impossible for its expression not to change at all.

Everyone watched the pet unboxing review video as if it were just another funny video. After all, there were just too many logical conflicts that did not make sense in the video such as the silly cat that was still and its frozen expression.

‘It’s a fake cat. Of course, it won’t move,’ Chen Momo thought to herself, still treating it as a fake cat.

She had to share such an interesting video to others.

After all, the cat’s expression was just too strange. It was very interesting.

Chen Momo casually forwarded the video to her primary school, junior high, and high school classmates’ group chats. She shared the fun of the retarded video.

“S t r a n g e R e v i e w.”

There was a space between each word, lending the title a strong nonsensical vibe.

The video thumbnail was the MUR cat that had recently gone famous on B Site. Chen Momo’s classmates were from the younger generation, and many of them loved scrolling through B Site. Her classmates clicked on the video one after another out of curiosity when she sent the video.

Soon, the group chat of the people from her class responded after watching the video.

“What kind of retarded thing was that? I laughed so hard. It’s fake, but the video owner did the unboxing review in all seriousness. It made me laugh so hard!”

“That video owner is so good at making the 3D figurine. The cat looks like a real one.”

“The views are rather low. I can’t believe that it’s a video that was made by a new account.”

The comments on the group chat that came one after another hyped up the video. In the end, those classmates who were not planning on watching clicked on the video too.

Some classmates were humored by the funny video. They then shared the video to their friends or broadcasted it to their friend list to spread the fun.

Some of the audience members watched the video due to the strange cat’s thumbnail. They found it funny, so they shared it with others. 

The video was forwarded over and over again. Chen Momo had no idea that her casual sharing had spread the video around. The views increased to 7,654 by that night.

When Ke Meng looked for Chen Momo to play PUBG with that night, he found out that she had shared his video to her group chats among her classmates.

“I was wondering how it could’ve been boosted all the way to 7,654 views out of nowhere. So, it was you, the silly girl, who helped me,” Ke Meng said in surprise.

To be honest, he did not think of sharing the strange review video that he made to his class group chat.

It was mainly because he treated video-making as a hobby. He did not take it seriously as a business and merely did it out of interest.

After hearing Chen Momo’s idea, a new idea sprouted in his head now.

Since it had worked for her, he could send it to the group chat with his classmates too.

He would say that it was a video that he made. Even if some of them had no interest in such a video category, they would watch it just to support their old classmate.

“I’m not a silly girl!” The girl was pissed off, and a coquettish voice was sent through the phone.

“Haha. To me, you’re a silly girl.” Ke Meng was fearless, so he proceeded to tease her.

The girl controlled her temper and walked far away angrily. She came back, seizing the moment when Ke Meng was looting. Then, she secretly tossed a grenade at his feet.

Bang!

Ke Meng’s game character was killed by the grenade coming from his teammate.

Dumbstruck, he called out to her, “Hey, hey, hey. Come save me.”

‘No, go to hell!” someone’s pissy voice came from the phone.

Another grenade rolled toward his feet after she was done speaking.

Bang!

Ke Meng’s screen dimmed. He was helpless, but there was nothing that he could do.

After that, he could only watch the battle. He watched Chen Momo play all the way to the finale whereby two players were left in the chaotic battle. Eventually, she killed the other player with two grenades and won the game.

“Cool, cool, cool!” Ke Meng cheered as the team won without him having to do anything.

…

After the game ended, Ke Meng copied what Chen Momo did. He shared his video with his classmates’ and relatives’ group chats.

He conveniently explained to them that it was his account when he shared it with them. His old classmates, whom he had not seen for a long time, replied and said that it was cool. They said they would like, favorite, and give him a coin to support him.

Some old relatives asked after watching the video, “Xiaomeng, this cat looks e-exquisite. Where did you get it?”

Ke Meng was speechless.

Forget it. He would not put his hope on his relatives to share his video.

Ke Meng hopped onto his bed. He checked the views he had on B Site. It had reached 8,000+ views now.

On the system mission list, the accurate number of people viewed was 4,420.

A person watched it 1.8 times on average.

He was still 5,580 people short of his mission target. If it was converted to views, he would need over 10,000 views more.

He closed his eyes and stopped thinking about those things. He decided that he would check the data again tomorrow.

He had no idea what kind of believer he would dream of later. He hoped there would not be a sacrificial ceremony tonight too.

Just like that, Ke Meng fell asleep quietly. His consciousness was taken to the City of R’lyeh deep in the ocean.

The massive ocean city made of countless giant green rocks stayed eternal.

Deep in the ocean, the maniacal marine creatures were still fighting. There were fewer and fewer of them.

Ke Meng opened His eyes, He saw some new faces swimming in the City of R’lyeh. They were rational and casual, appearing at ease.

However, the new marine creatures that swam in from outside fell into insanity as soon as His eyes were opened. They were bashing around or fighting and killing each other.

Boss Ke could not help but feel depressed as He watched those new faces joining the endless battle. That should not have been their lives.

However, everything changed when he woke up.

The City of R’lyeh regained its maniacal routine daily.

Meanwhile, Boss Ke’s life at the bottom of the ocean remained boring and dry.

…

At the Dog-headed People Mountain Village, the dog-headed counselor was guarding in front. He was hiding with a bunch of young and strong fellows at the bottom of a ramp.

Today was the day that everyone in the Dog-headed People Mountain Village would attack the enemies.

To guarantee their success in one try, the dog-headed counselor carried out a careful planning for the mission this time. It included using poison.

A dog-headed guard sprinted back to the hole in the ramp and reported to the dog-headed general in excitement, “They’re coming, they’re coming!”

The dog-headed people picked up the cold weapons in their hands one after another. As their chests were pumped, their blood flowed. There was a red gleam shining in their eyes.

They looked at the master counselor in unison who glanced through them. He saw all of them looking at him with a powerful will.

He then said, “Go!”

A bunch of dog-headed people rushed out.

Five adventurers in leather armor were fearless as they watched the bunch of dog-headed people charging at them. They then charged at the 50 dog-headed people directly.

The dog-headed people had the upper hand since they had more people on their side. Given that there was slow poison applied on the weapons, they captured the five adventurers alive in less than ten seconds.

However, they lost a brother in the fight. He was killed by the five adventurers working together in a second, and he did not even manage to use his skill.

“Rest in peace, brother. We’ll make the adventurers pay with their blood!” The dog-headed counselor wiped his tears that were as large as a bean at the corner of his eyes.

The adventurers were tied up with tough ropes all over their bodies. They could not move at all as all of their joints were bound.

“What the hell? Why is the monster’s imprisonment duration so long?”

“There must be a bug in the game. I’ve never seen such a long imprisonment duration before.”

“Can they be rare monsters?”

The five adventurers mumbled to themselves. They glanced at their status bar which had ‘imprisonment’, ‘poisoned’ and more negative effects written on it.
