Chapitre 47: Cat Dad is Burning Books
Chapter 47 – Cat Dad is Burning Books
Ultimate Skill
This was something of a myth as only a few players in Xiaomao's previous life could have.
Several players once recorded the ultimate moves of many top players. However, they only caught a glimpse of the skills, and they never saw how the superhuman used them in-game or in real life.
But now, Xiaomao had the chance to learn it and experience it firsthand.
'Alright! I'll learn it right away!'
Without hesitation, Xiaomao pulled a manual from his inventory. It shone in rainbow light as if several unicorns had flown out of the bamboo scroll.
<Will you use the Ultra-Rare Mysterious Ultimate Manual?>
"YES, MUNYA!"
The manual opened by itself and illuminated the entire dungeon. An illusion of a catopus with a microphone appeared in front of Xiaomao.
Suddenly, the illusion menacingly stared at Xiaomao. It opened its mouth and sang.
"Eh?"
Xiaomao frowned as the illusion caught him off guard. Why did this hologram sing for him?
The answer was soon revealed.
DING
<Congratulations. You have learned the Ultimate Move, Providence Song.>
The skill detail appeared in the system panel.
…
Providence Song (Mastery 0%)
Catopuses are natural singers. They have a cute and charming voice that can melt every listener's heart, and their purring can even cure cancer.
However, if their voice is utilized in combat, their cute voice can crush their enemy's willpower. By unleashing your true cuteness, your enemies will be stunned by your charm and lose the will to fight for a brief moment!

- Charmed targets cannot attack the caster.
…
Xiaomao's expression distorted in disappointment.
"Are you serious, munya?"
He had expected an offensive skill or a destructive skill. However, his character's ultimate power was a debuff type.
From Xiaomao's standard, it looked lackluster.
But as Xiaomao reread it again, he discovered that the ultimate move synergized with his unique skill –Enslavement.
…
Enslavement (Mastery 0%)
Brand a slave seal to any regular monster or NPC that is critically injured, and they will be forced to follow your every instruction.
Skill Type: Active, Class Unique
Rarity: Super Rare
Cost: 100 MP
Cooldown: 24 Hours

- Permanently turn a monster or an NPC into your slave. The success rate depends on their traits and relationship with the caster.
- If this skill is used on a charmed target, the success rate doubles.
- An enslaved NPC takes one retainer's slot.
- An enslaved monster takes three retainer's slots.
…
Currently, the enslavement skill was useless as Xiaomao only had one room for his retainers and slaves. He needed to increase his Contribution Level to make a room for a new slave or he wouldn't be able to use the skill.
But that didn't stop Xiaomao from abusing the game. He scanned through the list of the skill books in his premium warehouse and pulled out 10 red-named books.
Berserker Rage x 3
Self-Detonation x 2
Aphrodisiac Magic x 2
Dual Cultivator Art: Night Vitality x 3
Xiaomao and his future slaves didn't need these super rare skills.
The Berserker Rage sacrificed one's defense and HP to increase close-ranged physical attack power, which seemed useful for DPS-class players. However, the brawling Meta would fall off in the next few patches. Soon, the closed-ranged DPS class would be inferior to long-ranged classes and technician jobs in guild wars and events, and the Meta would remain for years until the merge.
Self-Detonation was useless for most classes. Only players with a puppeteer class, such as Necromancers, Tamers, and Summoners, might find this skill useful as they often used their disposable summons or underlings as suicide bombers. However, Xiaomao never wanted to sacrifice Slave One or his future underlings, so he didn't need it.
Dual Cultivator Art: Night Vitality was a perverted skill. It enabled the caster to have infinite libido and stamina. Of course, Xiaomao didn't play the game for sex, so he didn't want it. This super rare skill was popular among elderly players, though.
The last disposable skill was the Aphrodisiac Magic. As its name implied, it inflicted an abnormal status [Estrus] to targets, and they would do kinky stuff to the caster. Again, Xiaomao didn't play the game for sex, so he didn't need it.
Xiaomao gazed at the 10 skill books. He brought them out, but he didn't learn any of them. Instead, he navigated his skill menu and pressed the [+] icon next to the name of [Protein from Fish] skill name.
The menu changed. It showed ten empty slots at the bottom while the icon of Protein from Fish skill was on top. At the right of the skill's icon, the menu displayed the mastery percentage.
This was the skill enhancement menu. Anyone could enhance their skill mastery by sacrificing skill books or spell books at any rarity to increase the mastery percentage!
Xiaomao put all ten books into the empty slots. Then, the menu previewed the new skill mastery percentage, which changed from 17% to 22%.
'Too wasteful.'
Xiaomao was dissatisfied. He felt like he would lose millions of dollars for increasing his skill mastery by sacrificing skill books. In fact, he only needed to spend two days to increase his skill mastery from 17% to 22%.
He canceled the skill enhancement for the [Protein from Fish] skill. Instead, he tried to upgrade the [Enslavement] instead.
This time, the percentage showed a different result. By putting the 10 super rare skill books in the empty slots, the preview revealed that the mastery level rose from 0 to 50%! Xiaomao took off one book, and the mastery decreased to 45%.
'I see. The legendary skill consumes more enhancement ingredients, but my UR character's unique skill takes fewer super rare books to upgrade.'
Xiaomao put the skill book back into the empty slot and pressed the [Enhance] button. The skill books vanished into the Enslavement skill's icon and increased its mastery to 50%!
After increasing his skill mastery, Xiaomao searched for more useless skill books to use.
But after searching for a minute, he recalled that the borrowed weapon had a time limit usage, and he shouldn't be wasting time on picking skill books.
'I can get those books again if I kill another gnoll general. Why should I be concerned about money at this point?'
Xiaomao chuckled and shoved 10 random super rare books into the empty slots again. This time, he only kept the one that he would use and sacrificed everything that he didn't need.
WHOOSH
The Enslavement skill mastery reached the max level!
Xiaomao switched the skill. He chose the [Protein form Fish] add-on skill and sacrificed another batch of books. Without looking at the mastery level, Xiaomao add more books and pressed the [Enhance] button.
After enhancing the skill 16 times, the skill mastery reached 97!
He laughed. He added six more red-named books to the slots and pressed the button again.
DING
Finally, the broken skill that Xiaomao had purchased with real money reached the max level!
But Xiaomao didn't stop there. He began upgrading other skills.
In three minutes, all Xiaomao's skills reached 100% mastery. He also learned five useful skills.
