I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

25. It's No Good Underestimating Birds~

"You brought sufficient water supplies?" Normally, HereticKing would not natter on about such things. One, he had capable subordinates. A single glance would be enough to make himself understood. Two, even if there were idiots, he wouldn't bother to worry about them. However, LuckyCat was rather special. Instead, the foolish antics of LuckyCat was funnier and more interesting to him. Provided, of course, that they wouldn't put LuckyCat's life at risk.

There would only be a Hunger meter usually, but in certain special areas, a thermometer-looking special status bar would appear in the upper right corner of a player's vision. For example, a Thirst meter when in a desert, a Freezing meter on snowy mountains, a Heat bar when inside a lava cave, and so on. Once those meters reach over 100 points, the player would be inflicted with a special status and would lose health continuously until they die.

The only way to avoid such a fate would be to use special items, which would lower that specific bar and subsequently stop decreasing the player's health. The player cannot use Return Scrolls or items like it as they're being hurt. Once a player was stuck in such a scenario without any supplies, they can only wait for death.

"I brought 100 bottles of milk." It was enough to fill 1 slot of his inventory.

"= =|||. Bring 5 slots full of clear water."

Of course, pure water was the most effective against the Thirst meter. However, one cannot buy that in most NPC stores. There were plenty of streams and rivers in the world, should anyone want water. Water didn't help with Hunger either. Only Kemet's NPC stores would sell water. 5 silvers a bottle. Of course, there would be players who'd try and earn some cash by collecting empty bottles then come running back to Kemet to sell them to other players.

"Oh." XiaoYu thought about it. There was a special note in the section regarding grinding in the desert about bringing water which was sold in shops. He should've familiarised himself with the area on the forums this morning when he woke up. Sometimes, the want to experience everything first-hand could cost him his life.

"Meow~~" The tiny cat was done scratching its nose and was up and running again. It pounced into HereticKing's lap and started asking for attention. It's a pity the large hood blocked its face. Otherwise, the two humans would be able to see its eyes transform into gold coins and its face trying its best to be cute.

"Ugh..." The moment HereticKing pulled the little cat's hood back, he regretted it. As expected, there's a reason why everyone says there are some things better off unseen. Now, before the little cat's expectant gaze, he really can't refuse to take out something to tease it with.

"Ah." XiaoYu sighed with his head in his hands. If the small cat was given another chance to choose its owner, XiaoYu was sure there's an 80% chance it would abandon him at once for the shiny new being.

HereticKing recalled the last time he played with the tiny cat. From what he remembered, it seemed to prefer the gold coin more than the fish. Thus, he took a coin out and flipped it back and forth between his hands. The tiny cat was so interested that it started wriggling and pouncing after the coin.

"Hehe. You should've named it GreedyCat." HerecticKing actually didn't know the kitten's name. XiaoYu never mentioned it before and I_Am_A_Poor_Man didn't mention it at all in his constant chatter last time.

"Close enough." Both names involved money.

"What did you name it?"
