Chapter 71 – Cat Dad is Rich (2)
Xiaomao frowned. He didn’t care about politics and social status. Thus, he had no interest in Liu Bei’s offer.
“I’m only interested in money, and I’m in a bad mood, munya! Do you know that I lost 20,000 RMB because of a stupid ident, munya?!”
‘How about this? I want to purchase some information from you. I’ll pay in cash.’
“That’s more like it, sir. What would you like to know, munya?”
Xiaomao’s tone softened. He smiled and almost licked his phone. He didn’t realize that the taxi driver noticed the creepy smiling face in the rear mirror, and thetter’s expression turned dark.
‘Where did you get those element fruits? I’ll pay a million RMB for it.’
Xiaomao’s facial expression turned stiff. His smiling face distorted in contempt as he was not stupid enough to disclose his future knowledge to the public. After all, a G1 fruit could be sold for a million dors in the future.
But after being reminded of the price of the fruits, Xiaomao swiped his phone to check his game ount and the auction house.
6 days remained until the auction of Xiaomao’s items ended. However, the current bidding price of each fruit shocked Xiaomao.

The bid offers were insane. Xiaomao rubbed his eyes twice and pped his face to check if he wasn’t dreaming.<sub></sub>
The p was so loud that the taxi driver peeked in the rear mirror and broke a sweat. He cursed in his mind that he had picked up a mental customer today.
After Xiaomao confirmed that he wasn’t dreaming, he processed the information. Now, he understood why Liu Bei wanted to get close to him.
‘I see. I’m rich now, and he wants my money printers. Predicable kid.’
Xiaomao coughed and deepened his voice.
“Aha. Listen here, little Liu. This senior’s information is not cheap. Unless you are a billionaire, you can’t afford it, munya.”
‘Don’t be like this, Miao Xiaomao. Didn’t I bail you out of jail?’
“I was innocent, and you did nothing, munya. Also, only an idiot will sell this information for lower than a billion dors. Look at the current bidding price, munya!”
Xiaomao smirked. He knew that Liu Bei knew about the potential of these items. Any gold-farming guild would kill to learn where it came from.
‘Listen. I’m serious. Can’t you share this information with me, please? I’m begging you. It’s not like those fruits aremon drops. You can’t monopolize this forever. One day, someone might find it and sell the intel to other yers. Come on, sell it to me, and we can still be friends.’
“If I don’t, munya?”
‘Do you realize the gravity of the situation? I can easily reveal your identity, and all mobs wille after you!’
“Now, you’re ckmailing me, munya? How nice of you.”
‘I’m stating the facts. I’m giving you one million RMB for the information. Sell it to me, and we can still be friends.’<sub></sub>
“Hohou?”
Xiaomao cracked his knuckles. He recalled the miserable life when Liu Bei’s henchmen bullied him in school. And now, the guy behind all the bullies was ckmailing him.
“Try me.”
‘You…’
Xiaomao ended the call. He scoffed and leaned on the seat. However, his sclera turned dark, and his golden pupils turned orange as if they were fiery mes.
Again, the taxi driver noticed how terrifying Xiaomao’s expression was. He sweated profusely.
“Please don’t eat me. I’m not tasty!”
“…”
.
Xiaomao and got home. He carried Mu-Nyang back to his usual ce, which was the tallest cat tree’s bed. The cat yawned and slept as if he was exhausted.
Munya (Leave a bowl of wet food in the kitchen. I’ll eat itter.)
“Okay, master.”
Unfortunately, Xiaomao had three other masters.
Mew (I want Wagyu Steak!)
Meo (I want a medium-rare rib-eye steak!)
Nya! (Papa, I want a big fish!)
Xiaomaoughed. He went to the kitchen and prepared food for himself and his masters.
After feeding his cats with canned food, Xiaomao changed his clothes and got ready to return to the game. He hummed in a good mood as his financial problem was solved, and he would be a millionaire next week.
DING
While Xiaomao was about to return to his room to y the game, his phone sounded an rm. He picked up the phone to check.
Surprisingly, it was an email from a strange sender. Xiaomao opened it to check.
[My name is Qamar Ismael. I’ve noticed that you’re selling element fruits in bulk in the auction house, and I’m interested in being your trade partner. I would like to purchase your spirit fruits for five million dors each, and I’m willing to buy in bulk. If you’re interested, reply to this email to me. If you want to, I can fly anywhere on earth and meet you in person.]
Everything was written in English. Even though Xiaomao was Chinese, he understood it.
“Wow, munya.”
Money came so fast. Xiaomao couldn’t believe that he would get a trade offer so soon.
Still, this email was a wake-up call. It demonstrated that his private information could be easily exposed to conglomerates, nobles, politicians, or crime organizations. This might be the time to increase his home security.
Moreover, this offer and the auction revealed another important clue. It showed that many rich yers were already aware of the spiritual roots’ true value. They might also be aware of the superpower perks that they could get from the game like Xiaomao.
‘These guys should be the insiders or the shareholders of thepany. When the alien invasion war broke out, those oil barons, billionaires,pany employees, and children of politicians were the first group of superhumans that repelled the invaders. I’m sure they know about the game’s perks ahead of time.’
When the game wasunched, the gamemunities weren’t interested in the game as it was expensive. Yet, millions of yers joined the game and temporarily increased the price of PACT from five USD to 5.5 per PACT for a few hours before it dipped because of the traders.
But a day after the game was released, someone posted about the elusive story quest of the second world, and the game became even more popr.
‘Come to think of it, the second world is the most active world of all three worlds because of the cultivator theme. But the people of that world will be the enemies of mankind. I didn’t pay attention to that world when I was farming PACT thest time. I should check on the event.’
Xiaomao went to hisputer and explored the news about the cultivation world.
Coincidentally, the second world had another global event. A country was being invaded by a monster force, and yers were mobilized to defend it.
The monsters, on the other hand, were absurdly strong. All of them were over level 900 and above while yers had an average level of 90-100. Only less than 100 people managed to surpass level 100.
Xiaomao had the urge to watch the clips to see how they defeated level-900 monsters. However, he chose not to watch them as he might get addicted and waste his precious time instead of ying the game. He simply skimmed through articles and forums to collect information.
Half an hourter, Xiaomao stopped. He nced at a YouTube video’s thumbnail, which was a handsome angel with a ck and a white wing.
[Mao n Lore] was the video title.
Xiaomao was tempted to watch it as the angel was a famous story NPC, but he mustered his willpower not to click it. He closed hisputer and entered the game capsule.
