Chapter 110 – Cat Dad Uses Akashic Memory Card

WHOOSH

While Xiaomao was minding his business, Fu De found the ticket in his character’s inventory and used it. A level-700 legendary rapier appeared.

“Hahahaha! I have my new weapon!”

Fu De grabbed the rapier and tried to use it. However, it didn’t budge.

While Fu De was trying to use his new weapon, Magdalene and the crew boarded the ship. The fairy noticed the weapon in Fu De’s hand, and she sneered at him.

<Magdalene mocks you for trying to use a level-700 rapier with your current strength.>

“Shut it, you annoying mosquito! Once I regain my strength, you will grovel before me and beg for mercy!”

<Magdalene doubts you can defeat her when she is fully an adult.>

“Ha! Is that a challenge? Fine, let’s duke it out when we get back our strength, then!”

Fu De tried to lift the rapier again, but it slipped off of his hand. The weapon fell into the crack that Karen had created and fell into the ocean.

Magdalene widened her eyes, but Fu De screamed in a panic.

“MY PRECIOUS WEAPON!”

He transformed into a thousand bats and dove into the ocean. One of the bats grabbed the item and stored it in his private inventory.

However, water was hazardous to vampires. Even though seawater couldn’t harm him as much as running water, the salt water still burnt him.

“OW! OW! OW! HELP ME, DEAR FAIRY!”

Magdalene burst into laughter and scooped one of the bats out of the sea with her water magic. The surviving bat transformed into Fu De, but he reverted to a thin elderly man instead of a beautiful young man.

Noticing that his appearance changed, Fu De wailed like a baby.

“What did I do wrong? Why is the world so harsh for me?!”

Magdalene cackled and circled around the vampire.

Shepherd heard the commotion, and he learned of what had happened to Fu De. He came down to the bottom deck and gave the old man a hug. The latter cried in Shepherd’s chest while the former patted the vampire.

“…”

Shepherd said nothing, but Fu De cried harder. The vampire cried to sleep like a child, while Shepherd looked like an experienced father.

Magdalene stared at the two men. She had a funny thought.

<Magdalene wonders if Shepherd’s ambition is feasible.>

.

After Magdalene and the others got on board, Xiaomao ordered them to help repair the frigate.

Magdalene borrowed Shepherd’s mana and patched the holes with her wood element magic. Andrew was also efficient. As soon as the dwarf got enough tools and the planks, he sealed all small holes and cracks in minutes.

The water stopped flooding the bottom deck. However, they still had to get the water out. Lucky was tasked to store the seawater in her inventory and pour it back into the sea.

It took hours for the crews to repair and restore the frigate’s HP and durability. However, as Lucky had already pulled the anchor, the frigate sailed south and left Xuan Town.

Xiaomao ignored the 5,000,000 PACT bounty that he could claim from the local mayor. He took the helm and directed the ship southwest, heading away from the shore.

While the ship sailed at a cruising speed without Magdalene’s interference, the wind soothed Xiaomao’s mind. He admired the scenery for a while before he remembered that he hadn’t used the legendary item yet.

Xiaomao opened his game inventory and brought out the thumb drive. He activated it.

DING

<The Akashic Memory Card emits strange energy.>

<Calculating the daily benefits. You will receive character EXP today.>

<You have 237 LUCK. You have a 2.37% chance of receiving the max benefit from the Akashic Memory Card.>

<Your skill [?????? Instinct] is influencing your luck. You gain a 10% additional chance of receiving the max benefit from the Akashic Memory Card.>

<Rolling the dice…>

<You have rolled 20.29. The value is lower than 87.63. You’ve failed to obtain the max amount of EXP.>

<You have obtained 8,775,425 EXP!>

For the first time, Xiaomao realized the importance of the LUCK attribute.

The EXP bonus calculation was based on percentage, LUCK attribute, and the RNG. As Xiaomao had a 12.37% chance of getting the best benefit from the dice roll, the system set the desired value to 87.63. Then, it generated a random number between 0.01 and 100.00. If the generated number was something higher than 87.63, Xiaomao’s level would increase by one, regardless of his current level.

As Xiaomao’s character was a legendary tier, the EXP requirement for each level-up was higher than the other low-tier characters. At level 111, he needed a total of 43,250,000 EXP to reach the next level.

Just now, the game rolled 20.29, which translated to 20.29% of 43,250,000. Xiaomao ended up getting 8,775,425 EXP after the calculation. It was not enough for Xiaomao to level up, but he learned the mechanic of this EXP bonus.

After the daily bonus was activated, the other abilities of the item followed. Suddenly, a strange memory entered Xiaomao’s mind. As if he had watched 100 hours of 5-minutes craft videos.

DING

<The flow of strange memory from the Akashic Memory Card enters your mind.>

<Your WISDOM has permanently increased by 54!>

<Your LUCK has permanently increased by 87!>

The second effect was direct. It simply randomized a number between 1 and 100 and then gave the raw stats to him.

Xiaomao was on the verge of tears. Nothing made him happier than a cheating mechanic from legendary items, and he was glad that he picked this item instead of usable weapons on the list.

The weekly and the daily effect was over. The main attraction of the thumb drive arrived as another wave of memory entered Xiaomao’s mind.

DING

<Your Racial Skill, Fish Gourmet, has transformed to Essence Gourmet!>

Just like that, Xiaomao upgraded one of his maxed skills for free. He didn’t need to pay Magdalene the expensive spirit stones to evolve a skill anymore.

And now, it was the moment of truth. Xiaomao wondered what skill or spell he would learn from the Akashic Memory Card.

DING

<You have learned a new racial super-rare skill, Tentacle Penetration.>

“…”

For some reason, Xiaomao felt like the game was mocking his character. He facepalmed in embarrassment and shame.

‘What the hell is this for? Tentacle porn?! I mean, what the hell, game?!’

Without looking at the skill detail, Xiaomao closed his eyes and the game menu. He took several deep breaths to catch a breather after going through an ordeal. He was worried about his future.

‘PKers will be coming for me soon. Hoodlums and mafia will be searching for my house in real life. It’s risky. It’s terrible, and it’s stupid. Oh, well. I have a high synchronization rate. It won’t be long until it reaches 100%.’

Xiaomao checked the character’s synchronization rate.

A new window showed up with the piece of bad news. The sync rate dropped to 5% due to the massive upgrades and new skills.

Xiaomao was disappointed.

‘At this rate, this might take ages. I should balance things and wait for my character to grow. If I keep grinding and getting stronger too fast, my real body might not be able to catch up with the growth. Haiz. What a headache.’

.

That day, Xiaomao and his crew traveled southwest, away from the west coastline. He was occupied as the helmsman while his crew and Shepherd’s followers tidied the lower decks.

Xiaomao had no idea that players from the neighboring towns and cities already discovered his location. In the game website’s forum, social media, and Discord Servers, screenshots of the black frigate were published.

Soon, many players found connected Xiaomao’s name to the auction house’s account name, where the precious elemental fruits were on sale. Players who heard about the emperor summon noticed that Xiaomao needed to visit Siren City soon.

All eyes were on the capital of the Yuan Empire. PKers, P2W players, casual players, professional players, and gold farmers flocked to the city, anticipating a story quest and the secrets Xiaomao held.
