Chapter 33: Mud-slinging

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, the Mogor mine cave had become empty. Li Yao was in a mirrored novice village and the mobs in the mining cave had been cleared.

Plus, the Boss would not be respawned either. The deed for the mining cave was now in Li Yao’s possession and no mobs would be respawned in the cave. Li Yao entered the second level with ease.

The door to the power room was shut. Li Yao used the key to open the door and started to clean up the mess in the power room.

The room was like an engineering bunker, it had everything that an engineer needed such as a work station and some engineering tools. Besides, there was a furnace for smelting ores.

Inside the room, there was a pile of metal ingots that had not been used. They were mostly copper ingots and a few iron ingots, which were not many, but they were enough for Li Yao at this stage.

The process of training his engineering proficiency to intermediate level and making a Firehawk Puppet would take up a lot of time.

It took Li Yao an hour to clean up the power room. Besides, he discovered that he could obtain a Hearthstone that could teleport him directly into this room. He was overjoyed.

This way, he could return here whenever, wherever. Only he had access to this room, which he could make as his secret little hideout.

Even though Bandits could open up locks, even Level 40 or 50 Bandits would not be able to open it. It would not be a problem for Li Yao to use this place as a storage room.

Li Yao had decided to buy some boxes and cabinets or other furniture that would make things way more convenient for him. The price to open up a storage room was too expensive. It was not worth it to buy storage rooms just to place items inside. With this place, he did not have to worry so much anymore.

With a happy mood, Li Yao began practicing engineering and making rifles.

As Li Yao was making a rifle, his video of killing the Boss in the mine cave was uploaded online.

It was marked as an exclusive video and was placed directly on top of the list by the editor-in-chief. The title was so bold that everyone could not help but notice it. Besides, many people started to question Getaway Studios for their proud exclamations and they had begun to wonder what was going on. Now that the video was out, many people instantly clicked into the video.

It was not like there were no videos of Boss fights online, it was just that all of those videos were failed attempts to defeat Bosses. When the first successful Boss kill footage was out, it was a solo wild Boss kill.

As soon as the video was uploaded to the official website, people who had seen it started to promote it everywhere. In-game channels began to flood with news about this footage.

If the video of StarFire clearing the stage was considered slow in climbing up the charts, this new footage was a missile. It had skyrocketed up to the top of the chart in just a short amount of time.

People that had watched the video began to criticize Getaway Studios for their shameless conduct.

This was because ShadowDay had also uploaded both videos of members of Getaway Studios that failed to defeat the Boss.

In the video, Getaway Studios failed twice in the battle with the Boss and they were caught returning to the city collectively using Hearthstone thrice. This clearly showed that Getaway Studios had given up in killing the Boss, their challenge had failed.

Then, Li Yao appeared and assembled a Ballista which caught everyone by surprise. From the video, they learned the technique of using Ballista to immobilized the Boss’s arm. Then, they saw members from Getaway Studios trying to steal Li Yao’s Boss kill when the Boss was low on Health. People were mad and chastised them. Stealing other player’s Boss kill was one thing, but they even failed in doing so, which was super embarrassing.

When players saw Li Yao using Arrow Towers and skill break, they thought that it was a game Bug. They began reporting it to the administrators while secretly planning to kill the Boss a week later in other mirrored novice villages once the Boss respawns.

Countless players left comments under the video. Some praised Li Yao, some despised him, and some even envied and hated him at the same time. But the comments began to change as Getaway Studios started to spur the audience to a different direction.

1. Decepticons: I have dominated the top comment, everyone below can eat sh*t!

2. HeartlessWillow: Praise the lord! At the same time, I would like to ask the commenter above if everything is okay at home.

3. ImBunny: I would like to know if this Bug will be fixed?

4. EndlessBattle: Why are the two greatest players Hunters? Are Hunters really that strong? I’m thinking of deleting my account and restarting as a Hunter now.

5. CuteHunter: Welcome to hell. You will then experience that no one wants you in their team, no one will group with you for stage challenges and you will be forced to become a solo player because of these limitations. Of course, there will be some benefits, which is Hunter gears that are sold cheap.

6. ImNotWell: All of you have strayed from the topic. I would like to know, where did the great Liao Yuan get the Arrow Tower skill book?

7. LilBaddie: I’m more interested to see Getaway Studios’ reaction when they see this video.

8. EndlessGetaway: Liao Yuan is despicable and shameless. It was clear that the Boss belonged to Getaway Studios and he robbed it away from us! Then, he worked with two lousy journalists to set us up. This is the real truth!

9. BitterSweetSea: It was so obvious that you are the shameless ones. Do you think we’re really that dumb? You think you can confuse people by spewing some nonsense? Low-life *sshole.

10. CuteKnight: Getaway Studios is so shameless, they tried to steal boss kills but still failed. That is so embarrassing.

11. ImGoodGuy: Brother, I’m really grateful. We will meet again next time.

12. SeriousPeopleAreTheCutest: I don’t care about all these, I just want to know how can he be so much stronger than us.

13. RegretlessGetaway: I know right, everyone knows about Hunters’ situation. Why is he so much stronger than ordinary Hunter players? Also, not even other professions can cause more than a hundred damage.

14. GetawayFairy: I’m an MT with a full set of Green equipment. My Health is only three hundred and I don’t think I can last a second when fighting him.

15. IgnoranceNotScary: Let’s not be led astray by Getaway scums.

16. GetawayThirdBro: I only hope for a fair gaming environment. StarFire can solo a Boss, I watched his videos, and to be honest, I admire him. But this Liao Yuan dude, not only is he a despicable person, he did not rely on any skills to kill the Boss. And how did he have such an unreasonably high attack damage? He must’ve used a Bug. Everyone must have seen his attack damage. He caused a few hundred damage with one three-bar Charged Hack, how ridiculous. I would like to ask players that play as Knights and Death Knights, can you cause this kind of damage? His damage was two to three times that of melee combat players. How are we supposed to play the game if the system is like this? I hope everyone will report this detestable behaviour in the official website.

17. UnjustWorld: ThirdBro is right. A person who relies on Bug to kill a Boss is not qualified to be an expert. I think that Getaway Studios did the right thing. It is righteous that they tried to steal the Boss kill from such a despicable person. Instead of accusing them, we should support Getaway Studios righteous act.

18. LiarsAreNotTigers: The entire comment section has been overrun by pirates. Identification complete.

105. SpringMengFan: I don’t understand, what is going on in the world.

1058. SoundlessBreathless: I don’t care if they’re right or wrong, I just want to know what did Liao Yuan do to deserve to be so much stronger than us? I seldom go offline since the game had started running and I have been fighting every day, but my attack damage is still far lower than his, why?

5898. DystopianWarrior: We want a fair and just gaming environment. The administrators have to see it in this way, or else, these hacker scumbags will ruin the balance of the game. If they don’t fix this, I will never enter the game again.

12589. RealisticSnake: His tactic doesn’t look technical at all. I can do it if I try.

258965. It makes me bored to see someone playing this way. Scumbags that use Bugs must be kicked out of the game!

As Getaway Studios fanned the flame in the opposite direction, the tables have turned. A bunch of people popped out of nowhere and began to demand that the admins delete Liao Yuan’s account. They thought that such an account should never exist.

Complaints showered the administrators like a snowstorm.

It was already night time in the game. Li Yao’s engineering proficiency was only a dozen points away from the intermediate level, 968/1000.

Still, Li Yao returned to the city. He changed his identity to StarFire and continued to carry players to earn money.

At that time, some of his clients asked him about his views on Liao Yuan soloing a Boss. Li Yao tried to evade the questions and solemnly carried them to get Gold Medals.

After five rounds of stage challenges were completed, Li Yao had 75,000 CPs added into his account. He was overjoyed to finally have money, at least he did not have to be too thrifty in the future and he could also make some improvement to his way of living.

However, Li Yao did not go offline to celebrate. AdorkableTong private messaged him, “Big Bro, have you seen the video? The comments under it are infuriating!”

“What video?” asked Li Yao, puzzled.

“Of course it’s the video of you soloing a Boss! I watched it, and it’s really awesome. It turns out that the game can be played in this way, you have to teach me later.” Tong replied discontentedly.

Li Yao smiled. “No problem, Tong is so clever and brilliant, you will learn it in no time. You will definitely be much stronger than me in the future.”

“Of course, it’s AdorkableTong you’re talking about!” Tong said proudly, then she frowned again. “But those b*stards have such bad eyesight, they are saying that Big Bro used some sort of Bug. Their eyesight must really be bad, no wonder they can’t even kill Elite mobs.”

When Li Yao was replying Tong, HundredFaceWitch gave him a call. Li Yao connected the three of them into a single call and started chatting with them.

“You do know about Getaway Studios making an effort to tarnish your name, right?” Witch asked.

Li Yao hastily looked at the comment section that had now turned into a one-sided accusation. Few people who tried to speak for him were drowned out by other comments.

For those that were envious, jealous and hateful, he was not bothered, since they were a waste of time.

“Just saw it.” Li Yao said without much concern.

Witch began to worry for him. “You’re in a very bad situation now, more and more people have started to file complaints to the admins against you. As far as I know, while other districts have formed organizations to defame you, they also tried to pressure the admins to delete your account.”

“They are just a bunch of clowns, pay them no heed.” Li Yao shrugged.

“You are taking this too lightly. One of my friends from the administration told me that there are more than a hundred million people that have filed complaints against you, and the number is still growing. I’m afraid that the admins can’t manage it any longer, my friend told me they have reported it and are now requesting for a solution.”

“Hmm, I see.” Li Yao still did not care. Forget about Li Yao relying on his skills to kill the Boss, even if he used a bug, the admins would not punish him. More importantly, the game system was running independently. The game company did not have the access to change the system data. Moreover, it was still the period for the company to promote the game. The company would love to have a few famous players which would be a benefit to their publicity.

The same thing had happened in his previous life. In the end, not only was the player not punished, his name was cleared and he received support from the admins. Before his rebirth, a combat team that ranked top ten in China was able to climb up the ranks with the admins’ support.

HundredFaceWitch understood Li Yao’s character all too well. “The thing is, I have contacted Getaway Studios. They know that I know you, and they would like to make a deal with you.”

“Deal? What deal?” Li Yao was curious.

“Do you know about the stage-clearing contest that will be live-streamed?” asked Witch.

“I think I’ve heard about it.”

“They want you to participate in the match. Through the match results they will determine who the weak one is.” Witch replied.

“Seems like they’ve played their cards right,” snorted Li Yao.
