Novel Full 66 Cat Dad is Rich
Chapter 66 – Cat Dad is Rich
ZAAAA
The tree boat docked on the Seaside Town’s port in the middle of the night. Xiaomao and his crews got off.
Although not many NPCs were wandering on the dock at night, fishermen and their crews were still working. They noticed two heavy knights with wolf helmets coming from the strange boat, but they ignored them.
Xiaomao used the camouflage skill, hiding his presence and his name. Nobody noticed Xiaomao as his golden name was hidden. Everyone treated them as passing-by players or retainers on their duty.
He ordered Lucky and Shepherd to march toward the central plaza marketplace, where the auction house NPC was.
On the way there, Xiaomao noticed several fliers and posters with his portrait.
.
MISSING PERSON – XIAOMAO
BOUNTY: 1,000,000 GOLD
.
WANTED – XIAOMAO
DEAD OR ALIVE
BOUNTY: 500,000 GOLD
.
“What the hell, munya!?”
Xiaomao didn’t remember committing a crime, but his wanted posters were everywhere. Moreover, the information in various fliers contradicted.
Some fliers declared that Xiaomao was a wanted outlaw. Several of them only needed information about Xiaomao’s whereabouts or clues.
But one of them piqued Xiaomao’s interests.
.
SUMMON FROM ROYAL CAPITAL
The emperor of the Yuan Empire, Yuan Shao, is summoning Xiaomao to the royal capital of Siren City. Xiaomao is obliged to seek an audience with the King within one month. If Xiaomao doesn’t comply, he shall be declared a traitor of the Yuan Empire!.
.
Xiaomao read the fliers and got clues. He wondered if the emperor Yuan Shao offered extra bounty or rewards for bringing Xiaomao to the capital city.
“It doesn’t matter. Bring me to the market first, munya!”
The group proceeded toward the market next.
At the night market, NPCs lighted up lamps and candles to illuminate the town. Many players also carried torches as they didn’t have night sight ability.
The group approached an NPC market manager. Xiaomao talked to the NPC and browsed the market menu.
So many items had already been sold for either gold coins or PACTs. All Xiaomao’s common and uncommon gears were sold for gold coins for pocket money while rare items and duplicated set gears were exchanged for PACTs. As Xiaomao put most gears at a cheaper rate, 90% of his items were sold.
Xiaomao added more items in his inventory to the market. He also transferred new items from the treasure room, which Lucky had been carrying in her inventory.
150 new items were deposited to the auction house. Xiaomao also transferred five million gold coins and PACTs from the market inventory to his inventory.
Xiaomao checked his balance. 5,300 PACTs and 125 million gold coins sat in his inventory!
‘Since when have I become a multi-millionaire? Anyway, 125 million gold coins are 125 extra PACTs. It’s worth nothing right now, but it can be useful later. I also need to get more PACTs to pay for the battleship.’
Xiaomao hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should put his unused spell books and skill books on sale now. After thinking for a while, he chose not to sell anything yet since his slaves could use them.
At the current patch, every NFT character and slave could learn a limited number of skills and spells, depending on their levels and stats.
Xiaomao rechecked his stats and skills if he was still missing anything.

When Xiaomao was on the boat, his satiety bar was blinking because of the cursed claws and the intense boss fight. Thus, he ate all the spirit fruits and improved his spiritual roots. His spiritual root stats were improved.
Upon noticing that he hadn’t learned any spell yet, Xiaomao thought of the totem spell that he got from the game moderator, which he hadn’t learned yet.
‘I want to learn this skill right away, but meh. I don’t need to rush. I’ll get more element fruits first to save the allocable points. When fruits are scarce in the future patch, I’ll put all my points to whatever I need.’
Xiaomao decided not to learn any super rare spell at the moment. He decided to rely on the basic water spell, which he had learned after his water spirit root had reached 100.
Still, a few leftover fruits remained in his inventory. He thought of giving them to Shepherd, but he needed more PACTs right now to pay the shipbuilders.
Because he needed money, he put four dark element fruits, one water fruit, and one light fruit for auction. However, he didn’t ask for PACT or gold coins in return. The currency he required was USDT, which was a substitute cryptocurrency for US dollars.
Xiaomao increased the starting bid to 20,000$ for each fruit and set the auction duration to seven days. If nobody bid, this sale would be canceled and the items would return to Xiaomao’s market inventory.
‘Done. Now, I want my laser pointer and a better crossbow for my sniping skill.’
.
In the middle of the night, Liu Bei had been sleeping soundly in his room.
Suddenly, his phone sent out a loud notification as one of the items on his wish list was put on sale.
Liu Bei grumbled and slapped his phone. Then, he picked it up and swiped it, checking the time.
It was 3 AM.
“Who the fuck?!”
Liu Bei checked the message while he was half-asleep. Then, he found the message.
“G1 Dark Fruit has been put on sale.”
“G1 Light Fruit has been put on sale.”
“G1 Water Fruit has been put on sale.”
Liu Bei rubbed his eyes as he couldn’t believe it. Because of the surprise, he was wide awake.
These items were extremely rare as nobody knew where they came from. However, one person put several fruits on auction at once.
Curious, Liu Bei checked the name of the seller.
“Xiaomao?”
Liu Bei raised his brows. He sat up and fell into deep thought while his hands checked the current price of the items.
‘20,000 USDT per fruit? Are you nuts?! Who is going to buy that for a measly point in spirit root? If I have that much cash on me, I’d rather roll gacha for a UR NFT or add-on skills.’
He had seen this month’s add-on skill, but he wasn’t impressed. He didn’t think that 50 to 200 points to all stats were worth the investment as there were better add-on skills. After all, one character could only equip one add-on skill.
DING
DING
DING
“Huh?”
While Liu Bei was mocking Xiaomao in his mind, someone bid on all spirit fruits.
“BUT WHY?! THEY ARE FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!”
.
In one of the mansions in Dubai, a middle-aged full-bearded man in his pajama sat in front of his computer while his wife was laying in her bed, naked.
The man leisurely bid the spirit fruits and laughed.
“This seller is so generous. 20,000 USDT is nothing. If I were him, I would have set the starting bid to one million dollars!”
While the man was laughing, his wife overheard him. She sat up and questioned his logic.
“What are you buying?”
“Game items.”
“Game items of which game? Pangu Online?”
“Yeah, that game.”
“Is it really worth the investment? That’s a digital item.”
“Hahaha! When my body integrates with my game character, I will gain immortality and a superpower. 20,000 dollars for an extra point in strength is cheap. Immortality is priceless, and someone put it for sale. Why shouldn’t I buy it when it’s cheap?”
While the middle-aged man was laughing, the bidding price of each fruit jumped.
25,000 USDT
30,000 USDT
40,000 USDT
The price kept climbing non-stop. Within a minute, the cheapest fruit’s bid-offer was 250,000 USDT.
The middle-aged man frowned. He leaned forward and stared at the monitor.
“I guess I was too optimistic. I forgot that other shareholders knew about immortality, too.”
He typed a few numbers on the keyboards and pressed the bid button.
One million dollars!
“Go ahead and bid against me. You think you can compete against an oil tycoon like me?!”
