Cen Chen left the Cen family home, and the driver was waiting outside. “Go home.”
Upon returning home, Cen Chen immediately opened the game “Xia Yi Jiang Hu.”
On the surface, he was a composed and calm business genius at both the company and home, but living a life under constant surveillance was suffocating. Only the game could bring a bit of pleasure to his otherwise monotonous life.
As soon as Ye Qiu logged in, he saw more than a dozen unread private messages.
“Youyou Yingmeng: Master, what are you doing?”
“Youyou Yingmeng: When will you take me to clear a dungeon? I can’t do it alone!”
“Youyou Yingmeng: Master, you completed the statue dungeon with just the teacher’s wife and completely forgot to take me! You’ve forgotten your apprentice after gaining a teacher’s wife!”
Ye Qiu stared quizzically at the chat box, bewildered by the strange comments from the guild members.
“Jiu Yue Feng Ling: Why didn’t you ask the guild for help with the record yesterday?”
“Bai Jiu Jia Tang: You said you were busy the other day when I offered to take you to a dungeon. When can I take you?”
“Jue Dai: Since you managed to clear Fei Xue Sect at level 109, you might as well help fill a spot in the guild’s dungeon runs; it’ll make it easier to recruit new members.”
“Youyou Yingmeng” could say what she wanted; after all, the original character did have ulterior motives toward her. The guild members, who were just leeching off, had no moral high ground to criticize him. One should know that the original character spent a lot every day on the game, which couldn’t be separated from their contributions; what a pity to spend money just to help these ingrates in the guild.
Just as things seemed to calm down, a new wave of trouble arose. Cen Chen accidentally snagged the boss being led by the guild leader’s wife, Ju Dai, in the wild. Despite Cen Chen’s attempts to avoid it, the boss’s aggro was fixed firmly on him. In the end, he had no choice but to jump into the water, but because he lost aggro, the boss vanished and reset.
【Ju Dai: What do you mean by “Willing Ancestor of Mountain Cen”? Didn’t you see us fighting monsters nearby? Why did you steal aggro?】
【Ju Dai: Don’t you know that the bosses are coordinated by the guild every day? Are you deliberately starting trouble?】
【Professional Breeder: This guy just loves to show off; I saw it yesterday—trash.】
Cen Chen thought it would end there, thinking they were all in the same guild over just one boss which could be resolved upon re-spawning; instead, he saw the world channel’s announcements.
Before he could issue a statement to clarify, the screen suddenly went black.
After reviving and preparing to explain, he was killed again in no time, and the guild was flooded with his death notifications.
[My guild’s “Willing Ancestor of Mountain Cen” was killed by our guild’s Ju Dai in the northern border.]
[My guild’s “Willing Ancestor of Mountain Cen” was killed by our guild’s Sweet and Cute in the northern border.]
[My guild’s “Willing Ancestor of Mountain Cen” was killed by our guild’s Xian Cui Ren in the northern border.]
…
Upon the news, the guild was full of accusations against him, and he could only watch helplessly as his character lay at the cold resurrection point.
[Guild] Ka Kuai Le: What’s going on? Why did you steal your own guild’s boss; is it because they didn’t take you to fight?
[Guild] Yuan Gu Shan Cen: I didn’t mean to; I was just admiring the scenery when they pulled the boss past me! It must have been my character attacking on its own…
[Guild] Kai Xin Jiu Hao: Come on, it’s just one boss. Are you really that upset about it? If you want to fight, let your loved one take you; do you really need this?
While they grumbled in the guild chat, they also privately messaged Ye Qiu.
For them, “Willing Ancestor of Mountain Cen” dared to act this way because he had the backing of “Late Maple Leaf Sorrow.” Cen Chen’s insistence that they shouldn’t involve “Late Maple Leaf Sorrow” only deepened their beliefs.
Even if the accident caused by Cen Chen didn’t occur, they would have found reasons to cause trouble for “Late Maple Leaf Sorrow.” They had been waiting for an opportunity to clear Fei Xue Sect for a long time, and now, the chance had come.
Seeing the kill notifications on the world and guild chat, Ye Qiu just wanted to knock Cen Chen’s head. Why was he so domineering in real life but so cowering in the game? Although Cen Chen’s character was a fashionable one, his skills were definitely not inferior to these others.
He originally didn’t want to stir trouble; he just wanted to play as a handsome man in peace.
But reality wouldn’t allow it.
[Nearby] Ju Dai: Why aren’t you reviving? Do you think if we kill you a few times, it’ll just go away?
[Nearby] Da Feng Li: Today, your equipment won’t be spared; this matter won’t be over!
Cen Chen was indignant; clearly, he was just standing aside enjoying the scenery. It’s not like he could help it if these people kited the boss toward him.
“Late Maple Leaf Sorrow”: Why so foolish? Did you get killed by a group of useless people?
“Late Maple Leaf Sorrow”: Only I can barely be willing to group with you as a couple.
Cen Chen had already suffered enough at Cen residence today, and being targeted in the game was one thing, but now his supposed partner was making sarcastic remarks. He felt even more wronged; all his partner did was mock him every day.
The next moment.
Ye Qiu controlled his character to use the Romance Skill and teleport over.
[My guild’s Ju Dai was killed by my guild’s Late Maple Leaf Sorrow in the northern border.]
[My guild’s Xian Cui Ren was killed by my guild’s Late Maple Leaf Sorrow in the northern border.]
[My guild’s Right Dilemma was killed by my guild’s Late Maple Leaf Sorrow in the northern border.]
The sect Ye Qiu used, Tai Xu, was originally a group attack output class, and Ju Dai’s team consisted of lower-skilled guild members. The chaos on the scene was akin to harvesting chives, they were quickly cut down.
Lives were taken, and lives replaced.
Several people revived at the resurrection point, intending to block Cen Chen, and were caught off guard by Ye Qiu. With red names, they couldn’t unflag for at least ten minutes, which was plenty of time for some fun.
[Nearby] “Late Maple Leaf Sorrow”: Why aren’t you reviving?
This question felt eerily familiar. The few people acted like turtles, pretending to be dead, and some couldn’t bear it and tried to revive, only to drop dead within seconds.
【System: With overwhelming momentum, the young hero “Late Maple Leaf Sorrow” has consecutively taken down 50 people in the northern border. Truly the Martial Arts Star of the World has descended!】
【Ju Dai: Late Maple Leaf Sorrow, are you even a man? Aren’t you just picking on us newbies!】
【Da Feng Li: Seriously protective of your own, right? Your partner does wrong and you come and attack us without explanation?】
【Nian Nian: Is this what the top players on the leaderboard are like? I’m scared, I’m scared.】
Ye Qiu singlehandedly dismantled the opposing twenty-man team, but they weren’t pushovers either and quickly called for reinforcements.
[Nearby] Ju Dai: I’m so furious; I’ve been taking insults all day and no one is helping me!
[Nearby] Da Feng Li: Brothers, we’ve been robbed of the boss and blocked at the resurrection point. We must take revenge for ourselves!
Cen Chen, confused, accepted Ye Qiu’s party invite and in an instant, heard screams akin to those of slaughtered pigs.
“What are you still spaced out for? Are you really going to watch your partner suffer in silence?”
