I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

ch13

Provoke can also be used in PvP. However, players aren't a dead, robotic group of numbers. There's no "aggro" system. They can attack whoever they want to. Thus, this skill wasn't very useful in PvP scenarios at all. Even so, it can force the provoked to stay in combat mode. Of course, the attacker would also remain in PK mode with a grey ID.

XiaoYu's health recovered bit by bit but BattleOverlord wasn't in a rush at all. The swordsman would throw out a Provoke once in a while and when XiaoYu's life was full, he'd strike out with his sword.

There was a level gap of over 30 between the two. In normal circumstances, the swordsman can kill XiaoYu in one blow. But BattleOverlord wouldn't let XiaoYu go that easily. After find the other outside the Southern Gate, he'd changed into white-grade gear with no bonus stats. He even changed out his weapon for a trash sword with the lowest attack possible.

XiaoYu had thought of running away but he only had 5 measly points in Agility. There's definitely no other player with lower stats than him. Furthermore, from the ambush, XiaoYu could tell that the other leaned more towards an Agility build. He had ran forward and struck at XiaoYu in such a short time that XiaoYu couldn't even use a Return Scroll.

"Meow!" The tiny lucky cat arched its back and roared at BattleOverlord. It's a pity it was too small. Its threat was effectively negligible.

Time slowly ticked by. XiaoYu lost count on how many times he had been stabbed at. He only knew that his wounds kept healing before opening up and healing again. The blood kept getting wiped away. Only numerous gashes in his robe were left to prove he had been attacked.

The pain of being kept on the brink of death hurt a lot. Without using skills or potions, the process of waiting for his health to tick back to full was unusually agonising. And it's all because a player would experience varying degrees of fatigue and dizziness once their health drops below a certain number. There were a few times when XiaoYu nearly couldn't resist moaning out loud or collapsing. He only bit down on his lips and forced his body to stay upright out of sheer stubbornness.

There was a tickling sensation on his neck. XiaoYu knew it was the little one rubbing its head against his neck. A flush of warmth trickled through his heart. No matter what happened, his kitten will never abandon him. Even if it was just a bunch of numbers, it gave him warmth and happiness. So, even if it wasn't account-bound, he would never hand it over to anyone else.

XiaoYu looked at his Friends tab. CopperPlate's icon was still greyed out so he's clearly still in class. BlazeTheEarth was online, a Level 75 Second Job Magician. He's probably still at his stall.

XiaoYu didn't want to trouble them at first. He thought he'd die and lose a level at most. There's nothing valuable on him so it didn't matter if they were lost. But he can't ensure he won't be traumatised in the future with his mind and body being constantly tortured like so. He still wanted to play this game! Just as he was about to try messaging BlazeThe Earth...

"You're so obstinate!"

Obviously BattleOverlord wasn't very patient. He wanted to make this newbie suffer a little. Once the other can't stand it anymore and begged for mercy, he'd make the other obediently hand that pet over. It'd allow him to vent and get that pet without spending a single cent.

He didn't think this new player could be this obstinate. The other kept silent at all times and never swayed at all. It made him more irritated and frustrated as it went on. He didn't get to vent out his anger at all. Conversely, he was made angrier. If it wasn't because a player would never drop their pet on death, he'd have rushed ahead and bet on that miniscule chance.

"From now on, I'll kill you once every time I see you!" Having said that, BattleOverlord didn't wait for XiaoYu's health to fully regenerate and slashed at him.

XiaoYu didn't need to message anyone now. It'd be good to be sent back to Prole for free as well. Bai XiaoYu closed his eyes and waited for release.

Translator's Nonsense:

BattleOverlord, our first small-time boss, has arrived! Welcome, our first contestant on "Who'll help ML and MC the most?"

I've realised that this boy's relationship with his girlfriend might be seen as toxic and abusive. (Gosh, you can't get bf to buy something for you because the person didn't want to sell. Boo-hoo, it's all the bf's fault? As if you helped at all, you blood-sucking thing.) But fun fact: Did you know that the stereotypical Asian relationships are quite abusive? It's not intentional but from the modern point-of-view it's got too many ways to go bad.

There's 2 options. Either the girl is controlling and the queen while the guy has to hand all his money over and live off what the other gave as allowance, or the opposite. The first is more commonly seen among normal, young couples while the later is mainly seen in families where boys are seen as way more important than girls. We've got to keep our surname going, right? (It's Asian so it's not just a bunch of made-up meaningless words like Potter.) BattleOverlord here is just a common victim to the first common relationship. Not to say he's not an arse who may or may not deserve it.

So next time you wonder why you just see two models of relationship in trashy romance novels, just know that they're the most common relationships found. I mean, how does one learn how to live with a spouse? From the outdated relationship models of our parents, of course!
