Chapter 151 Why Can't I Stroke the Male Cat's Big Tail (5k, 30/76)
"You child, I'm just saying, don't you get it? The only worthy gods are those that can help the Black Cat Clan. There's no need to believe in those that can't help; it's all just an exchange."
Seeing the chief maid's helpless expression, he sighed and said,
"Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore. From now on, we'll be interacting more with the Undead and the residents of Titan Town, and I'll need more of your input on this matter."
...
In fact, the return of the Snow Wolf Clan and Black Cat Clan to Titan Town had caused a huge stir among the players.
A large number of cat lovers and LSPs drooling over Cat Girls were converging on Titan Town.
The discussion about this event hadn't stopped on the forums.
Many players thought that Lancaster of Newbie Village was now treated as a separate entity.
Could it be that they were worried some new players couldn't handle some of the gameplay in the Netherworld's Gate, so they specifically opened up an easy mode for them?
At the same time, they had to cater to seasoned players' love for the game, so they added more interesting and versatile playstyles for Lancaster.
Especially now, the players in Lancaster had started to use the "Holy Light monster-slaying" method to level up like crazy, and those censored videos had gone viral on the forums.
Even on mainstream social media sites, loads of netizens were discussing how low players could stoop.
So much so that the Netherworld's Gate was almost becoming the "Nether-low's Gate."
"Kitties, so many kitties, is this heaven?"
"Tails! Tails! Can I pet their tails?"
"You're targeting genders, huh? That's discrimination! Why can't boys pet the tails of male cats?"
"So unfair! Why can these people pet cats so easily, while I have to suffer in other Newbie Villages?"
"The Snow Wolf Clan seems a bit fierce, they don't really like being touched and might scratch us if they get annoyed!"
"Not true, I've had quite a pleasant exchange with the Snow Wolf Clan."
"Really? I feel like they're actually quite aloof!"
"I wonder if the Snow Wolves are just as cold in bed!"
"Isn't it possible that you're just too ugly?"
"Damn, savage!"
"Anyway, I'm super jealous of Lancaster's special treatment."
"Sorry, Lancaster's exclusive perks, that's what you get for being trigger-happy and choosing other territories!"
"Apologies, but we're just that capricious in Lancaster!"

The hustle and bustle on the forums had little to do with Kael; he scanned it quickly and, seeing that the players reacted just as he had predicted, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Just like that, a little more, just a bit more! Attract more of those 'leeks' over.
But what he needed to pay more attention to now was how to lure the players into making another choice.
His gaze turned to the system panel that recorded the information of many players. After pondering for a moment, he focused on three players.
Soon, he had an idea.
...
Meanwhile, deep within the Twisted Jungle, God of Wealth suddenly received a message from Jiu Yue,
"God of Wealth, are you there? I have something to ask you."
"Woman, you're asking for trouble... sorry, I've read too many novels, what's up? I'm on a dungeon run!"
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask you something out of curiosity. Have you heard of the Scroll Scholars?"
"Heard of it, what about it?"
"I heard that Scroll Scholars fight by inscribing scrolls to unleash Divine Arts, right?"
"That's correct. This class has a huge gap between its highest and lowest potential and seriously tests your mastery of Divine Arts in terms of quantity and quality.
As it currently stands, for us players, it's quite a hassle to get into because the channels through which we can access Divine Arts aren't guaranteed to provide us with the necessary skills consistently.
What's the matter? Weren't you always focused on managing your industrial zone? Why the sudden interest, unless you're also considering such a combat class?"
"Ah ha--ah haha--" Jiu Yue laughed awkwardly and said, "Well, actually, I received some task rewards settled by Brother Kael today, so I wanted to know more about this class."
"Oh, did you discover some interesting intel?"
"Indeed, very interesting, even very important for club players like you."
"Mind sharing?"
"Better not, it involves Brother Kael, and it doesn't feel right to sell out like this."
"I can up the offer to 200 Demon Crystals."
"Do I look like someone who would go back on their word?"
"Demon Crystals are important in the game now."
"I also find my reputation as Jiu Yue very important!"
"...so I'm offering an extra 50,000 in real-world currency."
"Well then, let me finish up the task I have on hand, and I'll tell you what's up later."
"The money is already transferred," God of Wealth said blandly.
"Forget about the task at hand, could anything be more important than my relationship with Brother Wealth?"
Following that, Jiu Yue went on to detail her recent task undertakings.
