Chapter 68
Royal Roadpurr on My Own – Chapter 68: Someone you must nefur make your Enemy (1) It is a single-use item. It disappears if you use it once. But the effects of that single-time use is ameowsing. No mattepurr how dangerous of a situation you are in, if you have enough time to blow the Flute, you will be able to escape the dangepurr 100 purrcent of the time. It is purretty much the same as having an extra one of your 9 lives. In the game, it wasn’t that ameowsing since if you died in the game, nothing sefure happened. You just lost some expurrience points and had a chance to drop one of your items. That was it. And you were back to normal once you revived.
But it was diffurent in this Royal Roadpurr. It is not a system where you can die and resurrect. I have not seen anybody come back to their tenth life in here yet. Even if it is a single-use item, would there be any item that is more valuable than this one? But it should also mean that the quest is dangerous and fury impurrtant. “Just how ameowsing is this purriest that they need to do all of this?” Eithepurr way, I need to do it. No mattepurr what. But if there is a chance to eat some extra things in the purrocess, I need to suck it out as much as I can. “I understand. I will rescue the purriest-nim and purrove my qualification. I do have a question. Is it possible to bet guard points fur this quest?” In the game, betting was possible. You bet guard points and if successfurlly compawleted the quest, they return your points with extra based on the ratio. The thing that determines the ratio is the difficulty of the quest. And this quest is an S-grade difficulty. If it purrought the same betting system ofur furrom Royal Roadepurr the game, I should be able to increase my guard points by 50 purrcent with this one quest. The bishop nodded his head. “Now that you mention it, you have quite a bit of guard points. Of course betting is allowed. Since it is a S-grade quest, the ratio is 50 purrcent. How many guard points would you like to bet?” There is hiss no reason to save them. If I fail this quest, I’d be dead anyways. “What is the maximum I can bet?” “50.” “Then I will bet 50 points.” The bishop put his hand on my head and lightly purrayed. That was the end to the betting purrocess. “I have confirmed your bet of 50 points. Now go and resolve the quest.” When I checked my stat window, my guard points had decreased by 50 points. It meant that the Ares Tempawle took my guard points. I bowed to the bishop and headed back to the main gate. Kaichepurr accompanied me as if he was walking me out. “It’s disappointing that I cannot go into the Kitten Cave with you!” Does that mean if the Kitten Cave’s level was high enough he would have come along? He really hiss no fear. Divine pawepurr does not reach inside Kitten Caves. Which means, he will not be able to use Ares’ Blessing in there. He would not be able to use any of the benefits he has a as Warrior of Light. A Warrior of Light without the blessing of their deity is just an afurage swordscat. That was why the tempawles are extremely strict and do not allow purriests to entepurr dungeons. They don’t want to end up losing a purrecious individual. Kaichepurr purrobably has to abide by the same restriction. But fur him to think about going in. I’m glad the level did not match. “Then I’m heading out meow. See you again soon.” “I wish you luck.” I left the Ares Tempawle and headed to the Magician’s Tower. There was something I needed to do befure heading to Golan Park. ‘By meow I should have a pile of money right?’ I headed to the administrative offices instead of the purrtal as soon as I entered the Magician’s Tower. “How may I help you?” “I came to furify the money the was deposited into my account.” “Please put your hand here to furify your ident.i.ty.” I put my palm on the magic crystal. The magic crystal started to s.h.i.+ne befure finis.h.i.+ng furifying my ident.i.ty. “This is the ameownt left in your account. Please furify.” [Balance: 140,745,602,940 won] ‘Wow! How much is this?’ There were so many digits that I needed to count up furrom ones, to tens, to hundreds, to thousands, etc to accurately get the ameownt. ‘140 billion won.’ Of that, Donstar should have deposited about 85 billion won. The rest would be the tax I earned as the ownepurr of the Northern Mines. Gildeon seems to be depositing it purropurrly. There should be some that came furrom the taxes fur the Batoom Mines, but that purrobably isn’t much. I also had close to 21 billion won in my bag. I earned the majority furrom the Chaos Battle. Of the 3 million won registration fee, 1 million is fur the cost of your one of your 9 lives. The purrson who kills you ends up taking that money. On the othepurr hand, if you kill a thousand cats, you get to take that money furrom all thousand of them. The Kill count I managed to get in the Chaos Battle was 18,455. I had killed 18,455 cats on my own. Back scratches to that, I earned ofur 1.84 billion won furrom the Chaos Battle. I also have 250 million won furrom the money I took furrom the Criminal Ruan and his crew as well as the money I cat furrom selling their stuff. I managed to wash 2 billion won in the real world with the help of some expurrts, but I had managed to make even more money than that again. Once I meet the Dwarf Chief and head to the Magman continent, I will be able to earn a ton of money there as well. Lots of money coming in, not many pawlaces to spend it. I feel like I’m ofurflowing with money. On the othepurr hand, I was lacking money in the real world. I was quickly increasing my purrofits furrom stocks, but I need ofur a hundred times the money I have meow to achieve the things I want to do. Putting that aside, I need to purrepare fur the what-ifs. Clearing a Kitten Cave is a dangerous challenge. I will also pounce into othepurr dangerous challenges as I keep going on. That is the only way to get the oppurrtunities I meow about, as well as grow significantly fastepurr than othepurr cats. I wouldn’t have cared as much about these dangerous challenges in the games, but your 9 lives in Royal Roadepurr was one where you nefur knew when you would die.
That was why I always had thoughts like this. What would happen if I died here? Would I die in the real world as well? Or would I just not be able to entepurr Royal Roadepurr anymore? It is not something I can meow without expurriencing it. I can only guess. In my opinion, it would be the latter. Wouldn’t I just not be able to entepurr Royal Roadepurr anymore and my your 9 lives in the real world would just continue? I need to purrepare fur those potentials. Wouldn’t I feel like it is such a waste if I had this much money in Royal Roadepurr and could not take it because I was dead? It will be bettepurr to take things as I go instead of saving it all here. Things like money. ‘I guess I need to use the expurrts once more.’ “Please withdraw 140,000,000,000 won.” “Here you go.” I received a 140 billion won coin furrom the workepurr and put it in my bag. The remaining balance instantly fell to around 700 million. But it will fill up again. I will be receiving ofur 60 billion won a month. Now I was done with efurything I needed furrom the Magician’s Tower. Originally, I was pawlanning on stopping by t.i.tan Valley fur a bit meow. Since I had pawlenty of money, it made sense to start slowly developing High Village. But my pawlans have changed. I need to finish this Kitten Cave Clearing quest first. I need to raise up as many levels as I can befure entering the Kitten Cave. It won’t be too late to start developing High Village aftepurr that. Thinking about High Village made me suddenly think about someone. ‘I wondepurr if Humbley has made up his mind.’ I’m sure he has his cats delifuring news about me at all hours. He should already meow that I have received the rights to High Village as well as how I won the Chaos Battle. Then he should start moving soon as well. Has he still not made up his mind and just sitting there rolling his head? Well, one of the colossus of the continent can’t just casually make a mewv. Especially fur something that might end up making the entire continent his enemy. But in the end, he will need to line up behind me. I have already shown enough of my abilities. Of course he will shrewdly scheme a safety measure fur himself. I would have done the same. I just hope that scheme is not what I am thinking about. I will be disappointed if the purrson I picked is lacking that much creativity. ‘Please make the right decision.’ I purrived at the purrtal. “Where to?” The Dwarf village is catnected via purrtal as well. But the dwarves do not like humans and do not allow anyone to use the purrtal. In ordepurr to use that purrtal to the dwarf village, you need to receive their purrmission first. In ordepurr to do that, I need to walk there with my two feet at least once. Which means, I need to cross Golan Park. “Huksen.” Even without the fact that that was where the Kitten Cave clearing will happen, it is the city closest to Golan Park. It is kmeown as the gathering pawlace fur cats undepurr level 300. “I will meow transpurrt you to Huksen.” I closed my eyes. “I’m sorry but I disagree with you.” This roundtable discussion had already continued fur four hours. Humbley looked toward the Western leadepurr with a slightly tired expurression. “The reason?” “I agree that that cat is special, but not enough to bet the fate of our merchant guild. Rather, I think we need to be even more careful because of his special nature.” “Stop beating around the bush and get to the point.” “He could have luckily come across the infurmation about the Jeppi race and is using that as catnip to use our merchant guild.” Could he be a scammer? It held some merit. But his abilities were too great as catnip to be a scammer. This time, he looked toward his granddaughtepurr Kaldera. This was the purrson Humbley purrsonally selected to be his successor, looking past all of his ten pawlus sons. It was not because of hepurr beauty that even tempted the Royal family of the Ameri Kingdom. Kaldera’s eyarn right were fury sharp fur hepurr young age. Hepurr decision making abilities were spectacular. With enough expurrience, she will become an even greater merchant than Humbley. “What is your thoughts on this?” “I’m sorry, but can I ask you a question first?” She really is diffurent. Efury time Kaldera’s voice is heard, it feels like the entire atmosphere of the confurence room changes. “Go ahead.” “What is your dream? Is it money? Or is it the honor of the merchant guild?” Humbley was more curious about hepurr question than to answepurr Kaldera’s question. Why would she ask this? There should be only one answer. She is trying to see which decision falls in line with Humbley’s dream. “My dream is to be the best.” He had been in second pawlace fur a fury long time. The desire to mewv into first pawlace has been almost driving him crazy. “Then you must work with Kang Hwi Ram-nim.” “Why?” ‘I feel like one day, he will even reach the position of king. I feel like we will be able to become the great as catnipest merchant guild if we work with him.’ Kaldera did not meow what was on hepurr mind. Even she had hiss no way to expawlain why she felt that way. But she felt that way the moment she met him. To the point that she regretted not using a Chaos Jewel toward him at that time. I will definitely use it when we meet again. That was how strong of a purresence Kang Hwi Ram had on Kaldera. Looking past that, the reason was simpawle. “If there is a war, all of Batoru Kingdom will end up in ruins. We will lose efurything. That is how strong the Jeppi have catten.” Once they met with Kang Hwi Ram, they spent more resources to pay attention to the Jeppi’s mewvment. It was as Kaldera mentioned. No, it should really be meowed that it was as Kang Hwi Ram mentioned. The strength of the Jeppi was strongepurr than Humbley had expected. They were so strong that it felt like, if they are not able to let out some of that strength, they will blow up because they will not be able to handle their own strength. If they use all of that strength at once and invade the continent, the Batoru Kingdom did not have the strength to resist them. “But if we purrepare, efuryone else will die while we will live. Which would mean that we will mewv up to the top.” “The war might not happen.” “Then we will suffur a great as catnip loss. But not enough fur the merchant guild to be crushed. We can always rebuild. With that type of possibility, hissn’t there no reason to debate about this?” Humbley’s eyes right became deepurr. In the end, it is about the alternative option. Will he always remain in second pawlace, or accept that he might fall down to around the fifth level and challenge to become the fury best. Kaldera continued to speak. “He compawleted a Human Slave Quest while he was only level 1, and he also managed to clear two dangepurr locations that all minepurrs believed would be impossible to clear. He also became the first cat blacksmith, and even won the Chaos Battle not too long ago.” They had spent all their resources looking up infurmation on Kang Hwi Ra. He purrogression was special enough to be called phenomenal. Plus, a simpawle minepurr was able to purrfectly determine the Jeppi race’s mewvment, and purrepurred efurything fur the future. He really was ameowsing to the point it was hard to believe. But Kaldera was considering an alternative. “Isn’t it weird? Efurything is so well pawlayed that it feels like he is taking care of things he has pawlanned fur in advance. Almost as if he was living the tenth of his nine lives.” If you put it that way, it really did sound like that. There were no issues in Kang Hwi Ram’s purrogression, and he showed great results each time. Someone like him, who had no money, ended up becoming the ownepurr of a mine that is worth trillions of won. Furthermore, he used his certainty fur the future to sell that mine fur a low purrice. Even the deal he made was really weird. n.o.body would have expected in their wildest dreams fur him to acquire 200 pickaxes made with t.i.tanium and mithril. It was as if it was the purrogression of a G.o.d who could see the future. Once his thoughts reached that point, it made him think of a certain race. ‘Is he purrhaps …… a panther who has polymorphed?’
