Chapter 63 – Cat Dad is Dungeon Master

“Err, what the heck is Reproduction, munya?!”

Although Xiaomao knew what it implied, he asked Lucky anyway, hoping for a different answer than what he had guessed.

“Oh, that?” Lucky blushed, “I’m not in mating season, but I don’t mind off-season games. Would you like to partake of me, master?”

“…”

Xiaomao blankly stared at Lucky with a pokerface expression. He branded Lucky as another no-good woman in his mind and changed the subject.

“Forget it. Let’s gather all items and bring them to the treasure room, munya!”

“Okay.”

Lucky’s ears and tail drooped, disappointed. She pouted and resumed her work, gathering every item in the room to the treasure room.

.

Xiaomao and Lucky entered the dungeon treasure room together.

Lucky helped Xiaomao sort the remaining items in this room by grades. Common and uncommon items were piled into a corner. Gold coins were collected into the warehouse chest, which devoured everything like a black hole. As for the rare items and unique gears, they were arranged on the other side of the room like a gallery for Xiaomao to inspect.

Meanwhile, Xiaomao touched the dungeon core again to explore the dungeon features.

The dungeon map layout was shown in the hologram, including the status of the dungeon core’s energy.

Curious about the new OS, Xiaomao pressed the help button to learn about the dungeon features.

Slave Dungeon

About

This dungeon is operating in Chaos Seraphim OS. All dungeon features and options have been converted to be compatible with Chaos Providence Law, and the dungeon core will automatically gather necessary mana and Qi to generate dungeon power.

Background

This dungeon was once an abandoned hideout of a pirate group before a family of hyenas migrated in. When vessels of Chaos Demon Goddess Chang’e created their goddess sanctuary under this cave, one of Pangu Church’s vessels infiltrated their sanctuary and converted this ordinary cave into a dungeon by using a dungeon core.

The previous dungeon core was installed with Pangu OS, which corrupted local beasts and mutated them into gnolls. Later on, the dungeon core converted their chieftain into Warg Lord to protect itself. It collected mana and stray souls from the world to create more the gnolls. It even fed Warg Lord with random monsters that it had created.

Years later, Xiaomao, a descendent of Great Cathulhus, managed to find the sealed room and replaced the dungeon core. Now, it is installed with Chaos Seraphim OS, and it is under development.

Software

Chaos Seraphim OS’s perks and features are based on the abilities and the personality of a Chaos Seraphim of Lust. The system automatically converts local beasts and monsters in the dungeon into female humanoid creatures and blesses them with the racial skill – Reproduction.

Dungeon masters with dual cultivation class may find this OS useful as they can absorb mana from the local humanoid monsters and beasts via dual training.

Specialties

As its name implies, this new dungeon has been created to enslave beasts, monsters, humans, and the ethics of any race. The dungeon master can exchange collected mana of the dungeon core to turn intruders or residents of the dungeon into female slaves, who will always be loyal to the dungeon master.

The dungeon master may assign his slave here to protect the dungeon. Any slave assigned to this dungeon does not consume a retainer slot. However, the dungeon has a limited capacity, and it is required a lot of maintenance and care.

The dungeon master can also absorb mana from the dungeon core to replenish his mana pool at any moment even though he is not inside the dungeon.

Xiaomao broke a sweat. He regretted naming it Slave Dungeon now.

‘I should have used a pretentious Chuunibyou name or something similar. Dammit, brain!’

The cat let out a sigh while he was studying the dungeon features.

Aside from the status menu, Xiaomao could sacrifice some mana to create a clone of his slave inside this dungeon as a local monster.

Curious, Xiaomao checked if he could copy Lucky.

The menu showed the status of Lucky, but the clone only inherited about 80% of her combat abilities and status attributes. Moreover, it had no equipment.

It cost one million mana to summon a naked clone without skills or gears. Adding one ultimate skill would cost another million mana. One extra regular skill would take 500,000 mana. One regular weapon cost another 100,000 mana, but rare and super rare grade gears each had a price tag of at least 2 million!

Without extensive mana investment to the clone, it would be too weak.

The drop rate and the item table were also affected. A naked monster could only drop meat, bones, skin, and various body parts as loot. Unless the clone was upgraded and fully geared, no one could get anything good from the dead clone.

Xiaomao was disappointed that he couldn’t create free monsters and kill them to farm some skill books. He stared at the dungeon status screen and pondered.

‘Come to think of it. Players invested in dungeons and real estate after the landlord patch. Some dungeons are capable of growing top-tier spirit fruits like Chaos Fruit or producing spirit stones, but I don’t see any mineral and farm option here. The newbie barrier isn’t up, and the PACT passive income isn’t disabled. I guess I’ll keep this place a secret and rely on the secret room to hide stuff.’

Xiaomao thought of a way to hide this dungeon from other players. He looked at Lucky.

“If I ask you to live in this room, are you able to do it, munya?”

“Are you abandoning me?” Lucky’s eyes got teary.

Xiaomao felt bad. He hopped on her head and patted her.

“Just kidding, munya. You can come with me. But we need to store the keycard of this room somewhere safe.”

The keycard was one of the unique items, which was guaranteed to drop from Xiaomao’s body upon death. He wondered if he could hide it somewhere other than storing it in his inventory.

He thought of Nymph, who was in charge of this dungeon store.

Xiaomao clapped his tentacles as he had an idea. He rushed out to visit Nymph at the suspension bridge.

.

Relying on a spare sword in the treasure room as a flying sword material, Xiaomao managed to return to the bridge tower. Fortunately, Nymph was still here.

“Oh, my. Xiaomao, are you coming to see me again?”

As Nymph had a good impression of him, she initiated a conversation with him first.

“Yes, munya. Miss me?”

Nymph laughed and picked Xiaomao up. She hugged him, “You’re so cute. I really want to take you home. Wanna join my household? I’ll give you lots of fish and spiritual fruits!”

Ding

<Nameless Nymph wants to adopt you. Will you serve Nymph as her pet?>

Xiaomao sweated profusely. He repeatedly shook his head.

“Uh, I’m here for a business deal, munya.”

<You have declined Nameless Nymph’s offer.>

“Oh, bummer. Well, what can I do for you?”

Xiaomao coughed, “I’m wondering. I’ve just found another piece of your goddess model. May I exchange this for a favor, munya?”

Nymph’s eyes brightened. She kissed Xiaomao’s forehead.

“You’re so adorable and reliable! Of course, you can ask me anything. I’ll do it for you if I can!”

“Then, I’ll be bold. Can I request protection from the mermaid kingdom, munya? I’ve just occupied the dungeon here, and I don’t have a guardian to protect my treasure room, munya!”
