I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

ch24

24. Bird Catching?

During the event, there wasn't any kind of big unexpected accidents. All the large guilds were defending their own cities. There were no major clashes. Other than the initial seven, another four more cities found their owners. Still, no one took over a number 3 city. It made those cities much more mysterious and mystical.

As to how the Heretic Demons fared this battle, XiaoYu could only guess from the expressions on the guild members. They didn't look too upset. Looks like Prole-4 was successfully defended.

XiaoYu who wasn't used to staying up overnight went back to Serica as soon as the event was over. His revival point was now set to Serica. After some bag organisation, he found an old broken-down little hostel and prepared for sleep.

While he's now considered quite rich, he'd save and scrimp on wherever he should. It's just sleep. Close his eyes and he'd be unconscious. Who cared where he slept as long as he wasn't being bitten by monsters.

XiaoYu was still saving for when he reaches Level 40. Then, he'll be able to convert in-game currency for real life currency. He'll convert a portion of his crystals to help with his savings issue. It'd be for the best if he could find a way to earn a lot of money.

Then the monthly fee will be paid by crystals and if the game shut down, his bank account would still be filled to the brim. (While there's a limit to exchanging real life money for crystals, there's no limit to exchanging in-game currency for real life money, as long as you had enough crystals. But reality has always been that cruel. XD)

When HereticKing ended his meeting and recalled he'd yet to set a meeting time and place with LuckyCat, the other had already taken a tour around the globe while snoring. He tried calling LuckyCat and got the door shut in his face by the game. And so, the rarest of all happened - HereticKing wrote a letter himself. Tomorrow 10 am. Meet me at the North Gate of Kemet.

********

While there was still a lot of time between 9 am and the appointed meeting time, XiaoYu had never been to Kemet which was also hailed as one of the four big cities of AO. Thus, he teleported over bright and early to shop around and prepare.

Kemet was really a city that'd bury a player in sand (what a shock.). Look out to the horizon and all one would see were yellow and gold. The buildings were made with yellow clay and yellow clay. Once out of the city, there'd most likely be sand and more sand. It made him suspect whether camping here for long would turn one colour-blind. No matter what, all colours would be perceived as yellow in the future.

XiaoYu didn't know what the monsters were around the area or how to capture a mount. He pondered about it. It can't be he'd have to ride on a gigantic venomous desert scorpion, right? He shivered. HereticKing's not that petty, right? He didn't mean to treat him as an NPC yesterday > <.

Still there's only yellow and more yellow there. There weren't many people roaming around either. XiaoYu finished exploring the place in a snap. He sat down near the North Gate and started daydreaming.

"Achoo!" "Meow-choo!" There were quite a lot of sand being blown about by the desert winds. XiaoYu had accidentally inhaled some in. Even the tiny cat that wanted to comfort its owner sneezed. XiaoYu rubbed his nose. Did he forget about something?

"Hehe. Little fool, why didn't you buy a cloak?" A large hand suddenly landed on XiaoYu's head. He looked up to find HereticKing grinning down at him whilst covered in a large cloak. "Luckily the hurricanes aren't that active today. If you lost a level due to that, I'd have gravely sinned."
