Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 330 Cat Dad Sells Land



Chapter 330 – Cat Dad Sells Land

Hyun Woo and Yang-Cheol recognized Xiaomao. They immediately greeted him.

"We meet again. I owe you my life," Song Yang-Cheol laughed and extended his hand for a handshake.

Xiaomao shook Yang-Cheol\'s hand, "Glad that I could help. You look a lot younger than before, munya."

"Of course, thanks to your power. I\'m feeling great!"

​ "Nice, munya! By the way, I see that you\'ve decided to move here. You have quite a lot of followers there."

Behind Song Yang-Cheol, several black sedans and trucks followed his vehicle and Mary. When Yang-Cheol stopped to chat with Xiaomao, everybody parked their vehicles and waited for their boss to finish.

"Oh, that? They\'re carrying essential components for my future businesses here. Speaking of which, do you have enough time for a chat?"

"Actually, yes, munya. What\'s up?"

"I\'ll get to the point," Song Yang-Cheol\'s expression turned solemn. "I would like to monopolize the banking system, the food industry, and the car industry. Could you permit me those?"

Xiaomao raised his brows while Undine and Nymph frowned. The two mermaids didn\'t like the elder as he seemed rude in their eyes. However, Xiaomao was surprised.

"How will you procure food in this place if I allow you to monopolize the food industry?"

"First off, I would like to ask for permission to purchase a lot of land in this world so that I can integrate the modern farmland and livestock management system here. I will hire local people here to work in my company. Generally speaking, I will establish a company or a merchant guild, if you would like to call it, and my guild will serve the Cathulhu Faction as a supporting organization in your dungeon."

Song Yang-Cheol began explaining the detail while Hyun Woo listened to the sideline.

.

After roughly 30 minutes, Xiaomao summarized what Song Yang-Cheol wanted to do.

First, the elder here wished to purchase at least 100 square kilometers of land to make it an agricultural zone for his food factory. As Yang-Cheol envisioned that the dungeon would eventually need to procure food for humans and local NPCs, relying on game food or local resources wouldn\'t be enough in the long run. Thus, he wished to implement modern agriculture system here to relieve the food shortage.

Secondly, to transport food efficiently, they required a good logistic system. Although they had heard that the dungeon monsters could use teleportation devices to move around in the dungeon, Yang-Cheol felt that it was impractical for a short-distance transportation between districts on the B9 floor.

To solve this issue, Song Yang-Cheol needed another plot of land to build a car factory. In the beginning, he would mass-produce trailers and trucks for the B9 floor\'s logistic system. And when the Slave Dungeon could complete roads on the other floors, he suggested that Xiaomao should create a few portals for road transportation so that the dungeon crew could transport goods between floors faster.

And lastly, Song Yang-Cheol lacked laborers and manpower at the moment. He requested Xiaomao if he could assign some dungeon monsters to work for them. He promised that he would pay the workers reasonable wages for their troubles.

Xiaomao didn\'t see any problem with the proposal, but he was worried about the security system. After all, paving roads and linking the teleportation system together might compromise the B9\'s safety.

"I agree with the first and the third request, but the second one is a bit too early, munya."

"Then, can we make a car factory first? You don\'t have to worry about the roads to the other dungeon floors. We need at least 1,000 trucks for the local logistics first. But if you can make a railroad…"

"I think my dungeon can directly build cars, though, munya."

"That would be inefficient. I can\'t possibly ask you every time whenever we need new vehicles. At least, we would like to function independently while we\'re supporting you."

"Hmm."

Xiaomao wanted to approve this. But when he turned to Undine and Nymph, they shook their heads.

"We can\'t approve this, Xiaomao. The dungeon land is limited. Hell, how the hell does the new guy know so much? Isn\'t he kinda suspicious?!" Nymph crossed her arms and pointed out the dubious behavior of Song Yang-Cheol.

From her point of view, Song Yang-Cheol had just arrived recently, but he knew so much about the dungeon, which seemed suspicious!

"A good investor always research before they invest. I did a lot of research about you, Mr. Miao Xiaomao."

Xiaomao frowned and looked at Mary. The latter pursed her lips, "I only told him the general information on the way here. He figured everything on his own."

"…"

Noticing that Xiaomao doubted him, Yang-Cheol grinned and opened his game menu. Then, he swapped his real body to a game character.

WHOOSH

Song Yang-Cheol transformed into an elderly High Human Archmage. He wore a grey robe and a pointy hat like Gandalf, and he carried a novice mage staff. Although his UR character looked impressive, he was still a level-1 character.

Hyun Woo and the men also used activated their game characters. Aside from Hyun Woo, who looked completely the same, the bodyguards all used UR Dark Elf characters with assassin-type classes. The leader of the team was a Hokage Ninja, which stood out from the rest.

"We purchased these NFTs before we came here. We also picked up add-on skills in the game market. You don\'t have to worry about us."

Seeing how prepared they were, Xiaomao dropped his jaw.

"You guys are crazy, munya."

"Investors are insane people. We dump money on other people and expect it to grow like trees."

Xiaomao scratched his head. Although they seemed weird and reckless, Xiaomao didn\'t hate them.

He opened his game menu and accessed the dungeon management mode, checking if he could allocate some land for Song Yang-Cheol.

DING

The dungeon menu showed up, which updated the stats of the dungeon layout, size, and floors.

.

Meowmeow had been busy! The dungeon changed so much that Xiaomao couldn\'t recognize it.

\'This is why I don\'t feel like it\'s my dungeon anymore.\'

Xiaomao also noticed that Torrent got kicked down to guard the B5 floor instead of B1. Gata replaced the ex-pirate so that she got to protect the place that suited her – the ocean floor.

However, Xiaomao was surprised to see a new name on the B1 floor guardian list.

"Joan?!"

Xiaomao\'s eyes were bloodshot. He had a thousand questions about how Joan became a member of this dungeon. However, he was busy at the moment, and he couldn\'t be distracted by strange things in the dungeon.

Seeing that Meowmeow had created backup floors under the residential area, Xiaomao had an idea.

"How about this, munya? I might not be able to allocate you some land on this floor, but I can designate an entire dungeon floor for your group to manage. Are you interested?"

"XIAOMAO?!" Undine and Nymph were shocked.

Song Yang-Cheol and Hyun Woo brightly smiled, "Could we inspect the dungeon floor before you give it to us?"

"Sure. Come with me, munya."

Xiaomao turned to Mary, asking her to guide him and the two investors to the new floor, "I want to see the B10 and B11, munya. Can you bring us there?"

Mary wryly smiled, "Lord Meowmeow told me not to bring anybody there yet. He said that the floors were unfinished."

"He did?"

WHOOSH

While they were conversing, Meowmeow teleported directly to the residential area and landed on top of Xiaomao\'s head. He came here in his cat form as usual.

"I heard ya. You there, are you planning to build farmland and raise livestock, munya?" Meowmeow pointed at Song Yang-Cheol.

As Song Yang-Cheol was prepared for the unexpected, he wasn\'t panicked or perturbed when he saw a talking cat. He politely bowed.

"Yes. We would like you to allocate some land for us so that we can establish a merchant guild and join your Cathulhu Faction."

Meowmeow patted Xiaomao\'s head and reminded them, "It won\'t be free, munya. Since I\'ve been spending days and nights expanding the dungeon manually, I expect a reasonable [Price], munya!"

Song Yang-Cheol looked up and took a deep breath. He opened his palms and negotiated for a price of land.

"How about 100 square kilometers of land for 100 million PACTs?"

"Pfft! You think we\'re running a charity organization, munya?! Ten billion PACTs for 100 square kilometers, no bargain, munya!"

Song Yang-Cheol and Song Hyun Woo\'s faces changed. Hyun Woo only prepared two billion PACTs while Yang-Cheol only had 300 million – They couldn\'t afford it.

Xiaomao interjected, "I know that you dream big, but how about you start out small first, and you can expand later. We\'ll reserve the entire floor for your future expansion, munya."

Although Xiaomao\'s proposal was reasonable, Song Yang-Cheol wasn\'t an easy customer.

"We can only afford one billion PACTs as a down payment. However, we want at least 100 square kilometers of land."

Meowmeow scoffed, "That\'s impossible, munya."

"We will pay taxes when we begin to profit! I hope you think of the long-term relationship and profits that you can make from our taxes."

"…"

Meowmeow narrowed his eyes and read Song Yang-Cheol\'s mind. Then, he grinned and offered something unreasonable.

"I have an idea, munya. One billion PACTs, and I\'ll allocate the entire floor worth 10,000 square kilometers to your group. However, I\'ll give you five years to turn a profit and pay at least one billion PACTs for taxes in the sixth year. If you can\'t pay it by the deadline, we\'ll confiscate everything, munya!"

"DEAL!" Song Yang-Cheol widely grinned and accepted the term without hesitation!
