Chapter 94 â Cat Dadâs New Slave
The Xuan Townâs guild buildings were a lot smaller than Seaside Town, which was a starting place for many new players. As this place was located far from popular grinding spots and dungeons, this place was not popular among players.
Because of its quietness, the QUWB Guild set up a guild headquarter here. They even rented a building to be their headquarters, but it was merely a cottage, not a proper facility.
As for the local NPC organizations, five guilds were present â The Adventurer Guild, the Merchant Guild, the Labor Guild, the Mage Tower, and the Thief Guild.
Mage Tower and Thief Guild were unique. Only NPCs and players with the relevant occupations could enter. These places provided mentorship, training ground, and class quests for players.
Xiaomao got the tips from Brad. He wanted to visit the Mage Tower right away, but he went to Labor Guild first. After all, he had four retainer slots to create new supporting characters.
Upon getting to the Labor Guild, Xiaomao purchased four rooms for his future retainers with 4 PACTs. Proceeding to one of the rooms, Xiaomao ordered Shepherd, Magdalene, and Lucky to rest and leave him alone for a while.
Xiaomao opened the game menu and his body vanished from the game. His consciousness entered the void, which was the character creation mode. He began viewing all his available NFTs.
âFirst, I need someone good at using firearms to take care of ammunition and cannons on the ship. Do I have any musketeer, gunner, rifleman, sniper, or any similar character?â
Xiaomao opened the filter menu and ticked all relevant classes. Then, the list showed up.
310 Common Character
81 Uncommon Character
2 Rare Characters
4 Super Rare Characters
Out of over 900 characters, almost 400 related characters showed up. Unfortunately, all NFT fragments were unrelated to firearms.
Still, the list was ensuring. Xiaomao checked the four super rare characters to compare them.

All charactersâ gimmicks were interesting, but he needed supporters. Xiaomao instantly chose the dwarf as his first pick as he needed a crewmate with life skill class to support the fighters.
Xiaomao didnât think much about the dwarfâs appearance. He let the character come out with his default appearance.
Ding
âSlave Two⦠No, scrap that. Andy! His name is Andy!â
Ding
ââ¦â
Xiaomao tried again. He chose a common name âAndrewâ as he didnât know how to name a dwarf properly.
DING
The character was created, and the NFT character vanished. The soulless dwarf was teleported to the room that Xiaomao and others had purchased in the Labor Guild.
But Xiaomao hadnât finished. He stopped thinking and picked all three SR characters to be his next retainers. After all, these characters were useful in their own ways, and their skills would be useful in combat later on, especially the High Human.
Unfortunately, the game was not friendly to him.
DING
âWhat the hell?â
Xiaomao was puzzled. This limitation never existed in his previous life. He knew that many rich players created an army of slave workers after their contribution level reached 100, and he didnât understand why the rules were changed.
Curious, Xiaomao opened the gameâs website to see if there was any update, change, or alterations to the old rules.
Indeed, there were mini-patches, which changed a lot of regulations and game rules. One of them was the character creation limit, which restricted Pay-to-Win players from instantly creating an army of retainers within a few minutes.
He read the article, in which the developers explained why the game restricted the character creation at the moment.
.
For the past two months, players have been competing to gain Contribution EXP and raise their Contribution Level to hire support characters or workers. However, due to unforeseen bugs, weâve found glitches in the character creation menu, which you can use to create an unlimited amount of support characters without being restricted by the main characterâs Contribution Level.
To prevent this issue, we have temporarily limited the number of character creations to one for each day per account. The change will persist until the bugs are fixed.
We apologize for this inconvenience.
.
âWhat bug? There is no bug, munya!â
Xiaomao knew that there was no such bug in the game. Before the regression, many hackers tried to exploit loopholes and send viruses to the game, but all of them failed. After all, the game was not a REAL GAME.
Three game worlds were real worlds somewhere in the universe. Soon, the cultivators from the second world would break free from the unknown system and invade Earth. Then, everybody in the world would learn the true nature of Pangu Online 2.
However, Xiaomao still had no answer to how and why Pangu Incorporate managed to create a system that transferred human souls to those worlds. He also couldnât explain how they created playersâ avatars and made them stronger.
For now, Xiaomao couldnât be bothered by the mystery as the first invasion would come soon. He needed to get stronger as quickly as possible to protect his parents.
âWhatever. One character per day is fine.â
Xiaomao exited the character creation menu.
.
WHOOSH
Xiaomao reappeared in the apartment room. Shepherd, Lucky, and Magdalene had been waiting for him there.
The new recruit, Andrew, stared blankly at Shepherd while the latter gave the dwarf a thumbs up. Andrewâs pupils flickered for a moment, but they became dull again.
Xiaomao was curious about what they were doing. He hopped on Shepherdâs shoulder.
âAre you chatting with the newbie, munya?â
The dwarf furrowed his brows as if he was offended. He snorted and pointed his finger at Xiaomaoâs cat face, but he couldnât utter a word.
ââ¦!!â
Andrew stomped his feet and kicked Shepherdâs shin. However, because of the difference in stats, Andrew ended up hurting himself.
Xiaomao laughed. He opened his game inventory and transferred one million gold coins to Andrew.
âLet me introduce myself, munya. Iâm Xiaomao, your new master. I know that youâre special, and you are proud of your skills. For now, letâs go shopping and buy your new tools with that money. Then, weâll make you the number one gunsmith of the century, munya!â
Andrewâs eyes brightened. He sized up Xiaomao and opened his palm.
ââ¦â
Xiaomao glanced at Magdalene and looked at the dwarf. He questioned himself.
âWhat the hell did I create? Did I make the wrong choice?â
