Chapter 201 – Cat Dad Recreates Wei Zhi’s Shadow


    The Individual Tournament went on for the entire day. In thete afternoon, the 300,000 yers were reduced to only 16, and a proper round-robin tournament was held.


    Eight floating tforms appeared in the sky. Simr to the preliminary rounds, the fight took ce above the clouds.


    Jungwoo ended up facing Battlefield Warlord in the first round. He stared at the oni woman and took a deep breath. A secondter, he transformed into a weretiger. He also summoned a Dao Avatar, which appeared as the Mythical White Tiger beast.


    The oniughed at him. She put on Wei Zhi’s Valkyrie gears and brought out a fancy-looking spear, which weighed over 500 kilograms. However, Battlefield Warlord rotated it with her fingers and rested it on her shoulders.


    “Give up, white tiger. If you surrender now, I’ll forgive you for refusing my goodwill earlier.”


    Jungwoo paced his breath. Although the oni hadn’t used any skill yet, he could see a transparent figure of a deity with an eye patch, who had been watching her from behind.


    Even if Jungwoo didn’t know the woman personally, he could guess the identity of the spirit behind her.


    ‘Odin…Dammit. She’s cheating! She’s relying on a deity’s blessing in a mortal’s fight?!’


    Jungwoo bore his fangs and brought out a saber handle from his inventory.


    “Invisible saber? Is that a mythical item?” The oni sneered.


    “You’ll see.”


    “Welp. Too bad that we end up this way. Don’t me me for showing you no mercy!”


    ve Dungeon’s boss room


    After half a day, Mir exined the general situation to Xiaomao and others. Then, she dumped Wei Zhi with Xiaomao without bidding farewell.


    Xiaomao facepalmed. He learned another worrisome information regarding Solomon’s henchmen in the real world.


    Currently, Solomon had dispatched the Netherworld’s ghosts and demons to the real world, and they were stalking the yers. All promising yers that had decided to antagonize Pangu and Nian were abducted to Hell, and their fates were unknown.


    This development differed from what happened in Xiaomao’s previous life. Solomon never attacked Earth before!


    “Don’t overthink, Xiaomao. There can be unforeseen oues even if you know the future. For example, if we time-traveled one million years to the past and slightly altered the cement of a rock, we could create a butterfly effect that changes the entire course of history one million yearster. You have been working hard, so unexpected changes can happen.”


    Hearing Mimir’s constion, Xiaomao felt a bit better. He looked at the broadcasting live stream, which was showing the fight between Wei Zhi’s shadow and Ran Tae.


    Battlefield Warlord, aka Wei Zhi’s former character, was supposed to join the Guild War event with her NPC subordinates. Then, she should have won the guild war event by andslide.


    However, in this world, Wei Zhi and Battlefield Warlord were separated because of an underhanded trick by Odin’s goons.


    WAAAAAH!


    The exchanges between the white tiger man and the Valkyrie were shy and spectacr. Both threw their ultimate skills and disyed their inhuman speed. For 10 minutes, the HP and MP bars that the game’s host disyed in the live stream fluctuated up and down.


    But in the end, Ran Tae was overpowered by the Dao Avatar behind Battlefield Warlord. The Valkyrie won, but she lost her right arm and half of her face during the fight. Her blinking HP bar was almost depleted, leaving with only 3%.


    Xiaomao clicked his tongue. He wished that Ran Tae could defeat the imposter, but the Valkyrie had already secured her victory in this tournament.


    “My character…”


    Wei Zhi sobbed and watched how her shadow defeated Ran Tae. She regretted believing in her father and yed this game.


    Seeing a girl cry put a bad taste in Xiaomao’s mouth. He hopped on her shoulder and patted her head.


    “It’s okay, munya. We can recreate your shadow, okay?”


    Wei Zhi sniffed and looked at the cat. Although she was still crying, she pinched Xiaomao’s face.


    “You’re mean, Xiaomao! We met, but you pretended you didn’t know me! You should have told me that you’re Xiaomao! Why did you hide your name?”


    “OW, OW! My faction and Asgard are enemies! I couldn’t let them know that I was there, munya!”


    Wei Zhi pouted. She let go of the cat.


    Meanwhile, Xiaomao wiped and cleaned his whiskers and fur from the sticky human tear. He opened his game menu and operated his game ount.


    As Mir had instructed, he could recreate Wei Zhi’s shadow. However, there were a couple restrictions.


    First, Xiaomao couldn’t transfer any NFT character to Wei Zhi’s game ount since the shadow already hijacked everything. If Wei Zhi recreated a character with Xiaomao’s NFT, the new character would appear in the shadow’s ount.


    Secondly, creating a new game ount was impossible for Wei Zhi now. If she did, the gamepany and Solomon would find her location, and she might get abducted by the monster while her real body was sleeping.


    Thus, Xiaomao had to do it himself.


    “I’m going to create your character now. You will synchronize with the new character and regain the shadow naturally, okay? Stay still and be quiet for a moment, munya.”


    Wei Zhi nodded and wiped her tears. She stood next to Mary and Nymph, waiting for him to do his things.


    Xiaomao closed his eyes and essed the game ount.


    DING


    <ACCESS DENIED!>


    Xiaomao scoffed as he knew that the gamepany might have done something to his game ount. He tried again.


    DING


    <ACCESS DENIED!>


    <Overriding the codes…>


    <MUNYA MUNYA MUNYA!>


    DING


    <Wee back, Xiaomao.>


    Xiaomao’s game character stood in the same spot, but his consciousness already entered a void area, where he could use his NFTs to create a new retainer or his game character.


    He immediately selected the only UR NFT character that he hadn’t used yet.

    The Bushido Spirit alone was enough to make every samurai yer dangerous in Guild Wars. The bonus buff was worthy to be called an ultra-rare grade skill. Without looking at the other mastery passive skills, Xiaomao almost cussed out loud.


    ‘Damn OP! This game has too many OP sses. This character is pretty much an off-tank DPS berserker. Oh well, it might suit her style.’


    Xiaomao opened the character customization screen. He looked at the character’s face and suddenly sensed a déjà vu.


    His tentacles moved by themselves. He slowly adjusted the face of the character to match the Oni mother in his dream.
