Chapter 229 – Cat Dad's Enemies Give Up?
Because Pan Mei caused a mess in the studio, the company's employees spent an hour repairing the set and restoring the broadcast.
During the absence of broadcasting, stream viewers had nothing to do. They shifted their attention to the first match while many content creators used this opportunity to steal the viewers from the official channels.
The trend was none other than Xiaomao's latest match and his one million points of critical damage.
Although the fight between Jungwoo and Battlefield Warlord was epic, nobody made a fuss about it since they were high-leveled. On the other hand, Xiaomao's firepower shocked the entire player community. His level was 300ish, but he could easily exhibit absurd magic power, capable of inflicting over a million damage.
As average players could inflict about a few thousand points of damage at best, many players were concerned about the game balance. They recorded the footage of Xiaomao's match and voiced their opinions on YouTube and Twitter.
The majority of criticisms aimed toward Pangu Online 2's illogical strength calculation and damage inflation. As regular players still didn't know anything about spirit stones or a method to gain permanent stats, they believed that Xiaomao's firepower was excessive, and he was suspected of hacking.
Everything was against Xiaomao on social media until a participant in the tournament revealed the existence of spirit stones. Absolute Halal, who spent his free time watching Xiaomao's match, stood up for his friend by showing the public the existence of sacred water, which he had acquired from Xiaomao.
In addition, Jungwoo used his alt social media account to reveal the spirit stone's description and the item's screenshot. He even showed that he had over a thousand spirit stones, which could potentially increase all his stats by 1,000!
The combined information shocked the player base once again. Now, many players believed that Xiaomao was monopolizing stat-boost goodies while many speculators insisted that Xiaomao somehow duplicated the stat-boost items.
By the time the game company restored their live stream, viewers were no longer interested in the guild war matches between small guilds.
Now, they wanted to see the exaggerated power of super guilds, such as MUNYA and Valkyrie.

Pan Xian sat in his hotel room in California, staring at his vibrating phone.
Although it was 2 PM in China, it was 9 PM in CA. Pan Xian just came out of the bath, dressing in a bathrobe, and he was about to cultivate. However, the phone showed that it was Pan Mei's calling.
Instead of picking up the phone, Pan Xian closed his eyes. He then talked in his mind.
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
"What do you want?"
Soon, the voice of his son entered Pan Xian's mind.
'Ifrit has joined Xiaomao's side. That stupid cat has that idiot's blessing.'
"Why should we care about a lowly immortal that can't become a god?"
'Father, his faction is getting too strong. Haven't you noticed that many immortals are gathering in that guy's dungeon? Meowmeow has also descended there.'
"One god and a few immortals aren't a threat to us. Instead of wasting your time on that man's son and his faction, focus on crippling Mu-Nyang and Mao Miaomiao! Isolate their relatives and kill them off one by one!"
'What about Xiaomao, father?'
"I've already talked to Odin and Solomon. I'm going to give World Three to them, and we will shift our attention to Mao Miaomiao and Mu-Nyang in World Two! Also, after this stupid event, tell Hiiro to begin hunting down Lilith and the former Netherworld's residents, especially that stupid dryad and the centipede queen! Don't let those women reunite with Mao Miaomiao or Mu-Nyang!"
'Can I borrow Nian to destroy them?'
"We can't move Nian. I sense Mu-Nyang's presence nearby. If I move Nian away from my side again, Mu-Nyang will definitely kill me."
'You shouldn't have provoked Miao Damao, then, father. We could have delayed the war for a bit longer.'
"Miao Damao poisoned your fucking mother! What would you have done had you been in my shoes?! Laugh and pretend nothing had happened?!"
'…'
"Listen. As long as that stupid cat and Mao Miaomiao exist, we, the Mazingers, can never have a proper home in this universe. We have to wipe them out once and for all so that our people can survive!"
'I know, father.'
"I don't care about the public image anymore. Mei, call our people back to China and take over the government. Let the world know about superhumans and our game's purposes."
'Are you sure? That is ahead of the schedules.'
"We don't have time. Mu-Nyang has already declared war on us, and his troops will arrive in a year. Before that happen, turn the brainwashed players into our soldiers and show them to the public. This will hasten the human's evolution, and they will have no choice but to join us and fight the Cathulhus and Mu-Nyang's goons."
'Follow current novels on n0velbin.com.',
'… If you say so.'
Pan Xian let out a long sigh. He cut off the sound transmission.
The phone also stopped vibrating, and a missed call notification showed up.
Pan Xian grumbled and rubbed his glabella. He had a severe headache.
While Pan Xian was in a bad mood, a certain three-eye caracal cat emerged from his shadow and sat in front of him. The cat opened his mouth and meowed.
Nya-Nya? (I heard everything. So, when will Mu-Nyang come?)
"Soon."
Nya? (Can I descend to World Three with my real body and kill Xiaomao?)
"No. If you go, who will protect me?"
Nya Nya (But Mu-Nyang is in Korea if my sense isn't wrong. His karma gathers over there.)
"Stupid cat. I'm not worried about Mu-Nyang. I'm more worried about Solomon and his henchmen. He has been sending his men here on Earth. What do you think will happen if Solomon suddenly has a change of heart and wants to take over this world instead?"
Nya! (In that case, you will be their greatest eyesore!)
"Exactly. I can't trust them. You stay here with me and chase away his ghosts. I'm going to rest now."
Nya? (Then, can I eat a few human babies while I'm protecting you?)
"Fine."
Nyahaha! (Great!)
Nian vanished into Pan Xian's shadow. The latter closed his eyes and crossed his legs, meditating on his bed.
A few seconds later, Pan Xian's sharp senses heard a scream of a woman and a painful cry of a child. Their voices soon ceased, followed by the nasty crunching and cracking bone noises in someone's mouth.
Pan Xian snorted and stopped paying attention to Nian.
