Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 89 – Cat Dad is Confused

DING

Magdalene returned. At the same time, the game system sent out a global notification.

<Dear Adventurers, we are pleased to announce the first cross-server event in two weeks. Adventurers, cultivators, and players from three worlds can apply for a cross-server arena event to win big prizes! For further details, visit our website!>

Xiaomao was still chewing the catnip stick. He opened the game menu and browsed the website even though he already knew the content.

On the website, the event banner was highlighted, and it came with a bold proclamation.

[Grand PVP Tournament! Total Prize Pool Over 18,000,000$!]

Xiaomao scoffed at the prize pool as he already had several million in the bag because of the ongoing auction. Nevertheless, he needed to take part in this event for unique items and gear.

For the sake of confirming the information, Xiaomao checked the website. He skipped the irrelevant information and checked the tournament format, rules, and restrictions.

.

<strong>Basic Rules  </strong>

- The event consists of three tournaments; Immortal Exhibition, Guild War, and Individual Tournament.

- A Player can only join one of the tournaments.

- The tournament type is semi-round robins. All guilds will fight 10 random guilds, and the top 2 guilds will compete for the championship.

- Competing guilds start with a castle and resources. Guild Leaders and members have 10 minutes to construct, reinforce, change, or modify the castle. After the timer is over, the guilds must conquer their opponent's castle by destroying their throne or killing their Guild Leader.

- In the case that both sides cannot achieve the victory condition within the time limit, the result will be decided on the total casualties and damages to structures. The guild with the least casualties and damage wins.

- All participants must go through a preliminary round to qualify for the tournament spots. The content of the preliminary round is a secret.

- The tournament is 1V1 elimination round format. Only 32 qualified players are eligible to take part in this tournament.

.

Xiaomao had no guild, and his level was under 1,000. Therefore, he could only join the individual tournament.

Fortunately, the rules were the same as what he remembered. However, the prizes were not the same anymore.

Instead of baiting players with money, the game company added too many rewards for the Immortal Bracket.

.

'A Land deed is coming out before the landlord patch?'

In his previous life, the land deeds were first introduced as limited P2W items in the cash shop as a scheme to increase the PACT's price. But now, the game brought out the land deeds before the patch!

Xiaomao narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue. He didn't have a guild at the moment, and it was impossible for him to participate in guild battles. After all, he couldn't possibly gather 1,000 guild members within two weeks.

But then, Xiaomao reread the guild war bracket's basic rules.

<strong>- Players, NPC mercenaries, tamed creatures, and support characters with level 999 and under can participate in Guild War Tournament</strong>

'NPCs and supporters?'

Xiaomao turned to Lucky and Shepherd. He also glanced at Magdalene. Upon looking at Magdalene, he thought of Nymph, the mermen, and the mermaids.

A sick idea came to his mind. He discarded the thought of joining the individual tournament right away.

"Magdalene. I have a few tasks for you, munya!"

Magdalene furrowed her brows as she was annoyed.

<Magdalene wonders if you can give her a break.>

"No, munya! First off, what did you do with that boulder, and what can I get from it, munya?"

Magdalene puffed her chest. Then, her upgrade shop menu appeared.

DING

<Magdalene has added 10,000 points to your spirit stone credits.>

<Magdalene reveals that the boulder was a Twilight Stone, which was a source of foul energy.>

<Magdalene brags that she gave it to Cernun, and he converted it to 20,000 spirit stones.>

"Wait, 20,000 spirit stones? But why are you giving me only 10,000 credits, munya!?"

<Magdalene scolds you that it was a handling fee!>

"…"

<Magdalene has given you a mysterious skill orb and a mysterious pouch as compensation.>

<You have obtained a pouch of fairy dust.>

DING

<You have completed Regressor Class Quest: Saving Cernun (1)>

<The mysterious skill orb has injected a memory into your mind.>

<You have learned a new class skill, Muscle Memory.>

.

<strong>Muscle Memory (Passive)</strong>

Before the regression, you have trained and honed your skills to some extent, and you can be considered a veteran. But now, your physique is weaker than your previous body.

Fortunately, your instinct remains intact. Your muscle and brain still work the same way that you did in your previous life. Therefore, it's a matter of time before you regain your former strength.

<strong>Effect:</strong> Increase acquired EXP by 100%.

<strong>[?????? Instinct]:</strong> The detail is a bit off, but this skill is better than nothing.

<strong>[Foresight]:</strong> The detail is absolutely correct. You just can't remember the old you BEFORE the previous life.

.

"Huh?"

Completing the quest was one thing, but the hints at the bottom of the skill's detail seemed suspicious.

'Before the previous life? Wut?'
