The Tycoon God of Online Gaming

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Turmoil Outside the Game Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Turmoil Outside the Game Editor: Larbre Studio “Boss, we just received intel that your game character has been discussed on the forum. It seems… quite a heated discussion,” The voice of Killing Commander came through Chu You’s communication channel.

In the misty forest, killing intent permeated the air. Chu You decisively abandoned the ‘Decapitation’ skill. The skill couldn’t track the target of the fast-moving Bloodthirsty Bat. At the thought, he instantly activated his run and leaped forward. His foot hit a low rock and with a push, his sword lunged towards the upper left, the 1.5-meter-long blade sweeping through the air with a chilling sharpness.

The sound of flesh being cut echoed, followed by a wail from within the dark environment. Chu You landed firmly, his graceful movements lacking any redundancy. The seamless flow of movements just now had killed the Bloodthirsty Bat with just a sliver of health left. If he hadn’t hit it, the elite creature would have flown away.

Standing up, a scornful expression crossed Chu You’s face. He knew the context of Killing Commander’s words would be unfavorable for him because he heard a hint of mockery in Killing Commander’s tone.

“What’s being said on the forum?” Chu You asked, his face calm as he looked towards the twilight of dawn. As day approached in the game, night creatures would quickly disperse. Chu You took another look at his strategic resources. His wood count was up to eight, and his experience had increased by a third.

“There’s a lot. Most importantly, a player leaked exclusive news that you killed Zhao Feiyan, there are even pictures. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!” Killing Commander’s voice was filled with excitement. When he’d first heard the news, he couldn’t believe it. Zhao Feiyan was a household name in the game world, not just because of her strong background but also because of her beauty which made her a goddess in many people’s hearts.

“I bloom after all flowers have withered, and then…I kill.” This phrase didn’t quite fit to describe a woman’s beauty but was forcefully interpreted on Zhao Feiyan’s head, which indicated how stunning her looks were, even overshadowing many top female celebrities.

Such an exquisite woman was killed at the whim of his boss, and Killing Commander couldn’t help but admire him.

“That’s because she deserved it!” Chu You remarked nonchalantly. Glancing at the real-time game clock, it was already 9 a.m. Remembering that Lin Luor would visit today, Chu You decided to log off.

Killing Commander continued to stare at a particular scene in the game world, his character standing still. From Chu You’s tone, he conjectured his boss might have some resentment toward the stunningly beautiful Zhao Feiyan. But…how did they know each other? Zhao Feiyan also played the game that Killing Commander was playing. That would imply the boss should know his identity. So why did the boss act like a stranger when he hired him? Killing Commander was a bit confused.

Chu You got out of his game pod and went to the window. His view was filled with villas, presented nothing extraordinary but quietness. Chu You grabbed his phone and called game customer service. He arranged to buy a top-of-the-line Prince game pod, to be delivered to his current villa.

Having done that, Chu You went to his computer and clicked on the forum in the Huaxia area, the Great Yan Kingdom section…

“Exclusive News: Madman Night Ghost cruelly kills Ice Goddess!” This post was pinned, the views and replies both impressively high. With every refresh, those initial responses notched up rapidly, clearly indicating it was a trending topic!

Chu You revealed a mocking smile and clicked into the post.

The first thing that caught his eye was a high-definition picture. The image depicted Chu You, weapon in hand, stabbing Zhao Feiyan. In the second picture, Zhao Feiyan was lying in a pool of blood while Chu You continued to chase down other female players!

Both pictures captured Chu You’s slightly teasing expression, triggering outrage among Zhao Feiyan’s fans, resulting in a torrent of abuse in the comments.

Chu You exited the post, noticing the forum was now filled with discussions about the character Night Ghost.

His dominant figure, exaggerated weapon, high-quality equipment, his red smoke status appearing by unprovoked killing, and most importantly, Night Ghost’s level had reached 7. Some said even 8, which sparked debate. Many people didn’t believe Night Ghost had reached 8 because they were already shocked by him being level 7.

What if he were actually level 8? The original post didn’t mention what Chu You’s level was, just displayed pictures of Night Ghost killing Zhao Feiyan. Anyway, all of the above were part of the discussion, and when most players were still level 3 or 4, a player of at least level 7 had made a sudden appearance. This attracted a lot of attention, leading many to speculate about who this person called Night Ghost really was.

What slightly surprised Chu You was that, on the forum, besides a torrent of criticism towards him, there were actually some fans of him. However, those fans soon fell into the crowd’s condemnation.

Seeing this, a chord in Chu You’s heart was struck, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he started to write a post.

“I am Night Ghost, this post is not against any of you individually, but against all you clamorous folks. You are all trash! Your goddess was utterly ravaged to death by me, satisfying, right? If you’re not satisfied, come beat me up!”

The ID on the official game forum is the same as the account name in the game, whatever the game name is, the name on the forum would be the same.

Thus, the post that Chu You made was definitely from the authentic Chu You.

Chu You had nothing to worry about, those who sought to find the real person behind Chu You through the internet were simply daydreaming. The game forum was a small part of “Celestial World”. If a hacker wanted to track down the real Chu You from here, then that hacker was close to becoming god. Besides, the game was already under control of the awakened main brain, this was even less possible.

Chu You exited the Yan Kingdom forum area, took a glance at the other six kingdoms’ forums, in addition to a discussion post about a player named Night Ghost reaching Level 7 in Yan Kingdom, something else caught Chu You’s attention. It was that many people had already started to buy game coins offline, at rates of 1:2 or 1:1.5, definitely higher than the official exchange channel.

It seemed that the importance of game coins had caught the attention of many influential people. Chu You just smirked at this, then completely logged out of the game forum, stood up, and went out to grab a bite.

…

Also in Yuanjing City, in a simple but luxurious conference room, a woman was sitting alone. There were a pile of documents on her desk, but her eyes were hollow, as if her thoughts had drifted far away.

At this point, three people walked into the conference room. Among them was a distinguished middle-aged man with a young man and woman behind him. When they arrived at the woman’s side, the including girl placed the documents in her hand in front of the woman.

“This is the information shared by the Sun Shadow Guild, Swallow, take a look.” The middle-aged man said.

The seated woman was Zhao Feiyan. Hearing the words, she came back to her senses and started reading. After a while, her beautiful face couldn’t help but tighten, her eyes flashing with a certain kind of shock.

“Is everything that Sacred Priest said true?” She asked.

“Yes, a person solo fighting against the Instance Boss, and it’s in Nightmare Mode at that.” The young male player next to her said.

“And he made it through. According to the Priest, if it wasn’t for him disrupting the rhythm, that player called Night Ghost could have killed the Nightmare Boss by himself.” The high-ranking member of the club said, somewhat startled.

The middle-aged man then said, “Swallow, so don’t feel too stifled, being killed by him is not something to be ashamed of. His skills, equipment, and level are all far above yours, and perhaps his physique is also quite strong.”

Zhao Feiyan stared at the photograph printed on the document, which showed the scene of Night Ghost fighting the Nightmare Instance Boss alone. Then she slowly shook her head, “I always feel that something is not right.”

“Swallow, have you noticed anything unusual?” The young man stepped forward with concern, completely ignoring the jealous look in the eyes of the young woman behind him.

What’s wrong with you? Do all men have to bow down to you?

“The opponent…really makes me suspect that they are a beta player. Their footwork, body movements, and the timing of their attacks are all extremely precise. It feels like they have mastered the core rules of the game and have been playing for many years.” Zhao Feiyan slowly commented.

The young man and the middle-aged man looked at each other, both showing surprise. The middle-aged man cautiously said, “Feiyan, you know this game well, it’s not possible for there to be any beta testers, perhaps the other party simply has that kind of talent.”

“Which guild’s elite player is the opponent?” Zhao Feiyan decided to change her line of questioning.

“We are still investigating that, the player is currently very mysterious.” The middle-aged man seemed to adopt a tone of seeking advice as he said to Zhao Feiyan, “So, what should we do next?”

“Since this elite player insists on being our enemy, we must be on guard. However, until we have investigated which guild they belong to, we will set this aside for now. Our current priority is leveling up and competing to transfer jobs to establish a gang. Only then can we suppress our opponents. Oh right, do we have enough game coins?”

“Our guild currently has 1 million gold coins in hand, fortunately our people were there when the game opened. But establishing a guild requires at least 100,000 gold coins, and that’s if we set up on a plain. If it’s another location, the gold coins required will probably be higher.”

“No matter what, we still need to gather gold coins quickly, as the need for it will only grow in the future. Oh right, how is Little Demon doing?” Little Demon was the priest healer who was scared off by Chu You and forcibly kicked out by the system.

“We are currently purchasing game coins offline as fast as we can, Little Demon is alright, a bit dazed. The doctor said she will recover after a while.”

Zhao Feiyan again looked at the information on the table. She had a question in her heart that she didn’t voice out, why had Night Ghost said to her ‘you actually came to me’, what did it mean? It seemed like the other party was deeply acquainted with her, and even seemed like they were deep-seated enemies, irreconcilable until death separates them. Thinking back to her experiences in games through the years, Zhao Feiyan was becoming more and more confused. It seemed…she didn’t have such a deeply hated enemy. What secret was hidden here?

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan was drawn in by a section on the document.

Zhao Feiyan pointed to a picture of a beautiful priestess and said, “Who is this? The information says that this woman seems to be very familiar with Night Ghost.”

“Oh, this player is called Luoshui Huixi, according to the evaluation from Sun Shadow: not a professional player, an ordinary person, but very familiar with Night Ghost. Do we need an investigation on her?”

“Luoshui Huixi…” Zhao Feiyan stared at the girl in the picture, mumbling to herself.

…

At this moment, a clean and fresh young woman walked out of the high-speed railway station. She dragged a suitcase behind her. Wearing a fashionable black short-sleeved T-shirt, her chest slightly rounded, wearing white headphones. The jeans she wore had her thighs tightly wrapped and they looked incredibly flexible. She has her hair in a fluffy bun, her skin is white and delicate. On her feet were a pair of trendy skate shoes, the overall picture was refreshing and mischievously beautiful.

This person was Lin Luor!

After spending a morning on the super-magnetic levitation train, she finally arrived at this international metropolis: Yuanjing City.

Upon exiting the station, Lin Luor extends her clean, jade-like hand to hail a taxi over. After telling the driver the address, the car drove off.

“Quickly, move this bed into this room.” Chu You commanded calmly, a slightly luxurious bed that had just been ordered was moved into the villa and placed in an empty bedroom.

“Alright, you guys can install the game pod in this bedroom.” Looking at the increasingly hospitable new bedroom, Chu You was satisfied. He had specifically prepared this for Lin Luor, it was fully equipped inside.

He glanced at the time, guessing she should be arriving soon.

After a short while, a taxi drove into the villa area and slowly arrived at the destination before stopping.

After Lin Luor paid, she lifted her head and had a look at this mansion. Her heart was beating like a deer galloping, feeling somewhat nervous. The taxi drove away at this moment, and Lin Luor’s hands holding her suitcase turned a bit pale.

She took a deep breath to calm her emotions, then she walked over.

Upon reaching the entrance, Lin Luor pressed the doorbell, closed her eyes, and inhaled deeply once again…

The door was opened.

Chu You and Lin Luor stood stupefied, looking into each other’s eyes.

Chu You’s expression slightly stirred, distant memories overlapped the high school period Lin Luor with the beauty in front of him. In Chu You’s eyes, a sense of time and years emanated from Lin Luor.

“Chu… Chu You.” Lin Luor was nervous in her heart, after all, this meeting had caused some changes in their relationship.

As far as Lin Luor was concerned, she hadn’t seen Chu You for just over two years. However, Chu You knew that he hadn’t seen the girl in front of him for twelve years.

Chu You relaxed his expression and smiled, “Come in, I’ll help you carry your suitcase.” After that, he went out and lifted the slightly heavy suitcase.

“Thank you…”

“It’s nothing, come in quickly.”

Seeing Lin Luor enter the house, Chu You accidentally glanced at Lin Luor’s butt. Her jeans highlighting her perky butt made his heart flutter, Chu You quickly averted his gaze.

Both of them walked into the house, “Upstairs!” Chu You directly carried Lin Luor’s suitcase up to the second floor into her bedroom.

“This is your room, are you satisfied?” Chu You was slightly out of breath, it had been a long time since he had had such physical labor.

Lin Luor nodded, there was some hesitation in her eyes, but in the end she didn’t say anything because, she realized that only she and Chu You were residing in this house…
