I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 240 - 179: Response from the Cat God (Request for Monthly Votes!)

On the streets of Kazt Town.

Upon hearing that the follower of the Cat God had arrived, countless white cats came following the sound.

Without exception, all of them, excited, expectant, and devout, clustered around Chen Lun. They were kept a meter away by two dutiful white cat guards wielding shields.

More guards joined in to "protect" Chen Lun, fearing that the cat residents might bump into the esteemed follower.

Chen Lun looked at these excited white cats and listened to the noisy sounds around him, feeling a strange sensation rise in his heart.

’Is this what it feels like to be revered and worshipped by numerous creatures...’

He thought to himself and shook his head.

’But I am not a true follower, nor am I indulged in it.’

Just as the town’s roads were blocked up and a few white cat guards were in distress, cries of surprise came from among the cat residents.

"Make way!"

"The mayor is coming!"

"It’s Daye the High Priest!"

The white cats seemed to hold great respect for this priest, voluntarily clearing a path.

Chen Lun looked up and saw a big cat, who stood out among the surrounding white cats, slowly approaching.

It was covered in tiger stripes, its face marked with an ageless calm, even a hint of weariness.

What was most surprising was that all four limbs of this big cat were very short.

This made Chen Lun think of a corgi-like cat—a Munchkin.

The High Priest Daye slowly approached Chen Lun, sat down in front of him, and quietly sized him up.

After a moment.

The expression in its eyes first showed confusion, then shock.

"You... you really are the Cat God’s follower!"

It slowly stood up, almost like a human, but due to its short limbs, it looked somewhat comical.

"Please, you must accept our hospitality here in Kazt, esteemed follower."

Daye, somehow recognizing Chen Lun’s "follower" status, seemed a bit excited.

The surrounding cat residents, upon hearing Daye the High Priest’s affirmation, became even more excited and began meowing with joy.

As the Immortal Realm had lost the Sun, Moon, and Stars, there was no way to tell time by light, so the residents of Kazt determined day and night by the strange symbols outside the white spire.

That spire, reportedly existed since the birth of Kazt, received the blessing of the Cat God, and also served as the "Temple of the Cat God," housing the statue of the Cat God.

At that moment outside the white spire, a total of eighteen symbols were lit, signifying six in the evening.

Under the direction of High Priest Daye, numerous cat residents began preparing for the banquet, to welcome the esteemed follower most warmly.

Chen Lun followed Daye, walking through to a large red-roofed house deep in the town.

This was where Daye lived.

It also served as the venue for major events in Kazt.

There was a "large" living room on the first floor, which to Chen Lun, was just a bit larger than a normal reception hall.

The long table was set, and white cats brought food intermittently.

"Esteemed follower, please taste the delicacies of Kazt."

Daye sat in the second seat, speaking to Chen Lun who was at the head of the table.

Chen Lun looked at the table full of dishes, mostly made of dried fish and a few strange insects he had never seen before.

"..."

He took a deep breath, held back his discomfort, avoided various dried fish, picked up a fried beetle with a fork, and stuffed it into his mouth.

To Chen Lun’s surprise, it actually tasted good.

It had a flavor similar to chicken but was even richer and juicier.

Bear Grylls would shout professional!

"This is our white cat tribe’s special brew, the Sun Wine. Please try it!"

At this moment, an elderly white cat from the next seat stood up. It held up a pot of crystal-clear wine and handed it to the cat server.

The white cat server came to Chen Lun, respectfully filled his glass, and then placed the wine pot on the table.

Chen Lun curiously held the wine glass, examining the wine inside.

[Supernatural Wine - Sun Wine]

Item Description: The proudest brew of the white cats living in the Dream Realm’s Kazt Town. It’s their reminiscence of the Sun, as well as their drink before battle.

The white cats believe that drinking Sun Wine will bring the Cat God’s blessing and luck will arrive.

Item Effect: After consumption, Luck +5, and enhances probabilities beneficial for hitting, dodging, and dropping treasures, lasting for 72 hours.

Warning: Consuming it along with Moon Wine will lead to unpredictable consequences.

’A consumable that adds Luck...? That’s very rare!’

A spark of surprise flashed in Chen Lun’s eyes.

Actually, the Luck attribute, in games, indeed boosts various probabilities with a BUFF. But Chen Lun felt, it was more than just a superficial appearance.

"Hmm... good wine!"

Chen Lun lifted his glass and took a sip, exclaiming.

Sun Wine was not strong in alcohol content but encapsulated a complex and rich essence of flowers and fruits, warming the body with a single sip.

’Sun Wine and Moon Wine, I wonder if I could get the recipes for these two wines... If I could replicate them with my own "Brewmaster" sub-occupation, that would be fantastic!’

These two wines can be said to be quite top-notch.

Because they increase special attributes! And the enhancement effect is not weak, lasting for a long time!

Most importantly, Chen Lun, based on the description in "Dreamseek Town Kazt," guessed that drinking these two wines together could increase the "Insight" attribute.

The story’s sailor could see visions precisely because he drank both wines together, similar to a surge in the "Insight" attribute.

After the banquet.

Daye expressed that he wanted to discuss matters privately with the esteemed follower, and the other white cat residents conscientiously left.

Even though they were very curious about this esteemed follower and attracted by the amiable aura he exuded, out of respect for the High Priest, they still chose to retreat.

"Esteemed follower, Kazt has been waiting for your arrival for over a decade..."

Daye sat on a chair, his expression somber.

"Since the pollution disaster descended, everything in the Forest of Nature has changed—no longer peaceful and tranquil, but filled with chaos and slaughter. The Cat God once issued an oracle, informing us that someday, a devotee would come to save Kazt, which is threatened by pollution,"

Chen Lun looked at it, pondered for a moment, and finally asked,

"Why are you so certain that I am the Cat God’s devotee?"

Daye’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Your arrival triggered the vision in the Cat God’s statue, and... the most important thing is, you carry His Blessing, His aura."

"Blessing...!"

Chen Lun was slightly stunned.

He had three blessings on him, named "Nature’s Favor," "Shining Nova," and "Collector of Knowledge."

’Could it be...?’

Daye’s expression became devout, his face respectful.

"Cat God Maggie Milna has bestowed upon you the power of nature. There’s no mistake about it."

Chen Lun was surprised.

’Nature Angel Maggie is the Cat God?!’

Daye rose.

"Honored Devotee, your questions might be answered in the Temple of the Cat God... Please follow me."

Saying this, he led the way out the door.

Chen Lun followed him, leaving the hall to head toward the white spire in the center of Kazt Town.

The two—a man and a cat—entered through a half-human-height door and ascended the stone spiral staircase adorned with wave patterns, all the way up.

They eventually reached the top of the spire.

This place resembled an attic; through transparent crystal walls, one could look out over the entirety of Kazt Town, and even beyond.

Chen Lun glanced around and saw outside Kast Town, a pile of rubble. Beyond the rubble lay an endless expanse of black plains, presenting a visually oppressive and uneasy impact.

The statue of the Cat God was quietly placed on a wooden high platform, with some fresh flowers and berries offered in front of it.

This statue, similar to the one in front of the Cat God Bridge, was carved from a peculiar type of wood, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

Daye picked up a book from beside the offerings with both hands and solemnly handed it to Chen Lun.

"This is the ’Cat God Doctrine,’ which contains the teachings and oracles of the Cat God... Honored Devotee, please have a look."

Chen Lun took it over.

[Acquired the Mythical Book ’Cat God Doctrine’!]

’This is the highest-grade reward in the mission… and I got it just like that!’

He appeared very surprised.

’Did I just exploit a bug…?’

Chen Lun gently opened the book and began to read.

This, more advanced than "Mystic Books", was a "Mythical Book", containing deeper insights into the Mystic Realm.

[Through careful reading, you gained 1000 Experience Points, 1 Skill Point, and 1 Attribute Point!]

[’Cat God Doctrine’ (Current Progress 5%)]

Chen Lun thought about the generous rewards and continued reading.

[By reading carefully, you understood the honorable name of "the Cat God", gaining 5000 Experience Points! Insight Attribute +1!]

"King of the Forest of Nature, Protector of Kazt, Great Cat God...

Elves beneath the Holy Tree, Mover of Nature’s Rhythms, Guide of Countless Beings...

Maggie Milna Your Majesty."

Chen Lun followed the records in the book and slowly recited the honorable name.

The next moment.

The wooden statue’s eyes burst forth with dazzling light.

In Daye’s excited expression, the statue turned to look at Chen Lun.

Bang!

Chen Lun’s mind went blank at once.

Vaguely, he heard a distant female voice, softly speaking to him.

After a while.

Everything returned to normal around them.

The anomaly of the wooden statue disappeared, and Daye lay prostrate before the statue, murmuring prayers.

Chen Lun, shocked by all that had transpired, then recalled the content he had just heard.

’So-called ’Cat God’ is just an incarnation of Nature Angel Maggie. In the Immortal Realm, She is very aware of Her identity... She asked me to recite Her name again upon returning to the present world, to resolve some of my doubts…?’

At this moment.

Daye stopped praying.

He rose and approached Chen Lun with an even more respectful demeanor.

"Honored Devotee."

Chen Lun took a deep breath, temporarily accepting his new identity.

"What threats is Kazt Town currently facing, and what do you need me to do?"

He asked.

"Honored Devotee, on the evening of the middle day of the month, the polluted creatures of the Forest of Nature violently act up… For some reason, the nearby polluted creatures collectively attack Kazt, which we call the ’Pollution Tide.’"

Daye’s expression turned grave. Read exclusive content at novelbuddy

"Although the spire protects us, every Pollution Tide results in casualties among the cat residents, and we can barely hold on anymore... Two days later, a new Pollution Tide is due…"

Chen Lun nodded.

"I understand. When the time comes, I will help you."

Daye looked thrilled and bowed in prayer.

"Thank you, exalted Honored Devotee!"

Chen Lun handed the ’Cat God Doctrine’ back to Daye. Since he couldn’t take the book with him, he planned to return to Kazt later to finish reading it.

"In two days, I’ll be here on time."
