Chapter 245 – Extra – Online Gaming is Dangerous, Choose Your Server Wisely (Part 2)

To identify the top legion at the pinnacle of a server’s hierarchy, it’s simple—just glance at the Auction House. The peak legion usually means they excel in manpower, resources, and wealth. More members, more dungeon runs, more gear drops—naturally, the Auction House is flooded with their high-quality items. So, just check how many sellers in the Auction House belong to which legion, and that legion is definitely the real deal.

In Frostbite Canyon, that would be Iceborn Legion and The Mercenaries.

After a brief deliberation, What Name Works in this Game decided to approach Iceborn Legion first. The reason was simple: the legion commander was standing right there in the Auction House lobby—his ID was the same as the legion name. If this guy wasn’t the commander, then What Name Works in this Game might as well have wasted all his years gaming.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Hey, dude.

Little Zombie hopped around the Assassin twice, sending a friendly greeting.

The Assassin stood motionless. After a while, he sent back an uncertain response—

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: ?

What Name Works in this Game felt slightly awkward and quickly reined in his excessive enthusiasm, getting straight to the point—

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Commander Iceborn, hello. I’m new here, still in tourist mode. Your legion seems awesome—are you still recruiting? [Grin]

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Have you tried other servers?

This guy was sharp. One sentence from him, and he pieced together the whole background without needing any setup, seamlessly jumping into the present. What Name Works in this Game mentally applauded his own “discernment,” took a deep breath, and finally felt a premonition of “sweet relief after hardship.”

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: I’ve tried most of them. Some were chaotic messes, others were way too laid-back, and one was downright broke. If I hadn’t come here, I would’ve been in despair.

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Do you like Frostbite Canyon?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Honestly, if this had been my first stop, I might not have felt anything special. But… never mind, you don’t know what I’ve been through. Anyway, here, World Chat is full of dungeon group calls, the players passing by are just normal folks—no undercover schemes, no cross-server merchants, no ghost stories or rock concerts. I’m satisfied.

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: What are you looking for in this game?

The topic shift was too abrupt. What Name Works in this Game froze for a moment before organizing his thoughts, but the words he typed were absolutely sincere—

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Blood-pumping battles, passion, brotherhood in arms, charging into dungeons, defending against enemies, spending my limited time in endless boiling excitement and thrill!

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Limited?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: ……

Why did he have to zero in on that one heartbreaking word when What Name Works in this Game was being so impassioned?!

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Uh, well, cough, I’m in my third year of high school. I can still log in often during winter break, but once school starts, it’ll probably just be weekends. Time is really precious to me, so I’m being extra careful about choosing a server. One wrong choice, and my whole exam prep is ruined!

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: First, I envy how clearly you know what you want.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: But?

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: But I don’t agree with your pursuit. As a third-year student, your priority right now should be preparing for the college entrance exam, not chasing elusive thrills in a game.

Of course there’d be a twist.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Elusive? If it’s so elusive, why are you playing?

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: No, that term only applies to you. Huaxia has become part of our lives—all our joys and sorrows here are real. But Huaxia isn’t your life; it’s just an illusory utopia you’re using to escape your current reality. You just need a place to hide from the countdown to exams—whether it’s Huaxia, another game, or an early romance makes no difference.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: I—

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: I sincerely suggest you uninstall the game now. Grab your winter break homework, your practice books, and start studying immediately. The sea of learning is boundless.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: You—

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: If you persist, sooner or later, you’ll be asking heaven and earth, or seeking answers from fate, regretting everything, drifting in the quiet night sky.

Why did he have to awkwardly break into song while talking…

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: I retract my application to join.

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Reason.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Aren’t you rejecting me anyway?!

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Me rejecting you and you withdrawing are two different things. I have my reasons for rejecting you, and you must have yours for withdrawing.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Fine, you convinced me. I’m going back to study. Happy now?

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: I want the truth.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: The moment you open your mouth, I forget I’m playing a game—it’s like I’m back in class TAT

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Go to Holy Light Sanctuary or Huaxia Summit.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Huh?

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Those two servers—one is dominated by a single force, perfect for a hot-blooded youth like you to rise up. The other is a Warring States scenario, ideal for a lively ride with galloping horses.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Are you… giving me server recommendations?

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: Is there a problem?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Of course there is! Weren’t you just against me playing the game a second ago?!

[Whisper] ice Iceborn: First, “against” is my opinion, but whether you accept it is your freedom. Second, what ultimately determines the development of things is internal factors. Your internal factor is “wanting to play games,” so no amount of external “advice” will change that. Since it’s useless, why cling to it?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: ……I think your suggestion is excellent, I’ll go check out Holy Light Sanctuary right now, bye-bye, take care, mwah!!!

Server shortlist: [Frostbite Canyon] (HARD PASS).

Is this legion secretly run by undercover teachers from school?! TAT

Holy Light Sanctuary, Holy Light Sanctuary.

The name sounds cool, but why does it seem so empty?

What Name Works in this Game maneuvered Little Zombie through most of the server, encountering only a handful of players along the way—mostly fellow “visitors” like himself.

He knew he shouldn’t have trusted that lunatic Iceborn.

[Huaxia] What Name Works in this Game: Is Holy Light Sanctuary empty—empty—empty—

[Huaxia] Ever Bright: Newbie, stop howling. Everyone’s gone to Huaxia Summit through the Dimensional Rift. Holy Light Sanctuary is on break for two hours until the rift closes.

[Huaxia] What Name Works in this Game: To Huaxia Summit? Guild War??? [Anticipation][Anticipation][Anticipation]

[Huaxia] Ever Bright: War my ass, so dark. They’re teaming up to take down an endgame boss!

What Name Works in this Game’s jaw dropped. He could feel every hair on his body stand on end.

Cross-server collaboration to take down an endgame boss—could anything be more exhilarating?!

Wait a minute…

[Huaxia] What Name Works in this Game: Everyone went? Why are you still here?

[Huaxia] Ever Bright: A once-in-a-lifetime empty city—of course I’m taking the chance to ambush Dutch Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters!

…Which one of them was the dark one here?!

[Huaxia] Burn Newspaper to Feed Ghosts: Surrounded on all sides, do you really think Dutch Chamber of Commerce is unmanned?

[Huaxia] Half-Idle: Newspaper, why bother cueing him? Let him come. We’ll teach him what it means to overreach.

…Are you guys guarding your headquarters with an idiom dictionary?!

Is there not a single normal server in all of Huaxia? Not a single normal person in this game? Is the game toxic, or are the players toxic, or is his luck just cursed? He just wants to pick a server—why is it so fraught?!

[System] Welcome to the Dimensional Rift.

[System] Welcome to Huaxia Summit.

What Name Works in this Game stared at his ceiling. After who knows how long, he mustered the last shred of his will to live and looked back at the screen, at the exit of the Dimensional Rift.

The next second, he froze.

The rift was nowhere to be seen. A dense sea of heads filled the open-world forest, their avatars packed tightly together. Half the players on-screen were wreathed in the flames of their server, their “Holy Light Sanctuary” tags perfectly aligned above their heads, almost lighting up Huaxia Summit’s sky. The local players weren’t to be outdone either—though their legions varied, their formations were orderly, their attacks coordinated, living up to the grandeur of “Huaxia Summit.”

More importantly, the two sides weren’t fighting each other. All their formations were focused on a towering spectral Taoist, all their attacks aimed at the Taoist and the earthy yellow talismans he controlled.

The two groups were probably on voice chat together, but with numbers this large, usually only the commanders could speak to avoid chaos. So, teammates who could only listen had to vent in Local Chat—

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] X: Thousand Mountains, what are you doing? Didn’t you hear Boss Yao’s orders? Did you DC again?!

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: My headset’s acting up. So annoying.

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Rain Ceases: I told you to keep it where Mountain Pup Lu can’t chew on it!!!

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: Cut me some slack. For this battle, I even temporarily entrusted Mountain Pup Lu to a friend. Isn’t that commitment?

[Local] Horse Without Night: Damn, Mad Lad, you can spy on their legion chat, but at least keep up with the attacks!

[Local] Mad Lad: It’s not that I want to stop—it’s that damn Husky biting my hand!!!

[Local] Horse Without Night: ……

[Local] Grass Never Grows Fat: ……

[Local] Horse Without Night: Babe, I think I cracked the case, and the truth terrifies me [Cry]

[Local] Grass Never Grows Fat: [Pats head]

[Local] Big H: Uh, I’m confused. What’s happening?

[Local] Everything Breaks: Thousand Mountains’ pet is entrusted with Ghost Server’s Assassin, right? Carved in Bone, don’t stop—keep blasting the boss from range.

[Local] Nicknamed White Dragon Horse: Breaks, you’re so calm~

[Local] Everything Breaks: It’s not entrusted at my place ^_^

[Local] Mad Lad: [Holy Light Sanctuary][No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains] Fuck! I knew there was a catch when you so readily lent me your dog for two days!!!

[Local] Milk is Mom: You asked to borrow, I lent. Now you complain? Tough being a good Samaritan these days.

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: You asked to borrow, I lent. Now you complain? Tough being a good Samaritan these days.

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: Why are you copying me…

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: And copying it perfectly.

[Local] Polly: Not copying—predicting. He said it before you.

[Local] Polly: [Milk is Mom] God-tier prediction.

[Local] Milk is Mom: ~\(≧▽≦)/~

[Local] Polly: Now let’s discuss why you know Thousand Mountains so well.

[Local] Milk is Mom: ……

What Name Works in this Game blinked blankly. His limited brainpower was completely inadequate for navigating these interpersonal dynamics.

In Fairy Dreamland, it was just brothers falling out, comrades reuniting, betrayal and reconciliation, alliances and rivalries. But here in Huaxia Summit… There was something weirdly mysterious about it all…

What Name Works in this Game shook his head and decided not to dwell on it. It was like taking an exam—if you hit a question you can’t answer, skip it and focus on what you can solve, maximizing efficiency and results.

Besides, at its core, gaming is about combat.

And this boss takedown was executed flawlessly.

But one thing puzzled him. If this was an endgame boss, as Ever Bright said, shouldn’t it be in a dungeon? Huaxia might innovate, but it wouldn’t create a hundreds-strong dungeon—it’d take years just to gather enough people. Even if it did, how could he, someone not even in the dungeon, see the fight?

Unless…

What Name Works in this Game looked around and finally spotted another idle player in a distant corner. Amidst the dazzling combat effects, only this Spirit Master stood calmly, sleeves fluttering in the breeze.

Little Zombie skirted the edges of the battlefield, quietly moving closer to the “spectator Spirit Master.” A click of the mouse, and a friendly greeting was sent—

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Hi.

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Oh, hi?

Clearly, the sudden greeting caught him off guard.

But What Name Works in this Game only noticed his “Ghost Server Legion” tag after sending it—so he wasn’t a spectator but a comrade?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: I’m new, tourist mode. You’re from Ghost Server Legion?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Yep. That super cool guy over there is our commander. Handsome, right? Hahahahaha

Er, What Name Works in this Game strained his eyes but couldn’t pick out the Ghost Legion leader from the hundred-odd players. Still, he was moved by this “beauty is in the eye of the comrade” legion loyalty.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Why aren’t you fighting the boss with them?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: I am fighting.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: ……

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: ……

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Uh, maybe my understanding of this game is lacking, but doesn’t “fighting” require actually using skills on the boss?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: It’s not my turn yet. Acting rashly would backfire.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Then when is your turn?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: When the boss enrages and we’re about to wipe. Then I’ll strike, fighting poison with poison.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: ……

This game is too profound. Its essence is truly hard to grasp.

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Oh, right. This is a world boss—it’ll enrage soon, and you’ll be in danger. Take this.

[System] Little Lucky Charm gifted What Name Works in this Game [Small Green Caterpillar Transformation Candy].

Small Green Caterpillar Transformation Candy?

One of the freebies the game hands out—aside from dragon transformation entertainment, it has no other function. What Name Works in this Game silently read the item description, totally baffled as to why he’d been given such a worthless item.

Whatever, his head hurt. Better ask something serious—

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: I heard this is an endgame boss? Shouldn’t it be in a dungeon?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: We’ve already cleared the endgame dungeon—looted everything collectible and capturable inside. But we still couldn’t reach the final level. See, I’m still Lv. 79. So our deputy commander changed tactics, thinking there might be more than one endgame dungeon.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: You mean this world boss is also an endgame dungeon?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Exactly!

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Has anyone hit max level yet?

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Not yet.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Then how can you be sure?!

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Our deputy commander said so.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Is your deputy commander a god??

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Yep.

This isn’t a legion—it’s a cult.

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: Ahhh, use the candy now!

[Local] Little Lucky Charm used Small Green Caterpillar Candy.

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Huh?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: What?

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: What the hell—

What Name Works in this Game watched in horror as the Spirit Master—no, the entire battlefield—instantly transformed into… small green caterpillars.

Yes, caterpillars, not dragons. He’d misread one character, leaving him completely unprepared for the sight of dense clusters of bright green little worms covering the screen!!!!

Newbie What Name Works in this Game suffered 10,000,000 points of critical damage.

Half from trypophobia.

Half from the boss—with the entire screen crawling with caterpillars, he was the only one standing tall. Of course the boss would target him.

[System] What Name Works in this Game has died.

[Whisper] Little Lucky Charm: I gave you the candy—why didn’t you use it?!

What Name Works in this Game stared blankly at the grayed-out screen, his mind totally blank.

The rare cross-server alliance, the messy interpersonal drama, the cult leader deputy commander, the monstrous boss, the mysterious spectator Spirit Master, the bizarre caterpillar tactic, and the death he could’ve avoided but didn’t…

He must be cursed.

The chat log suddenly scrolled rapidly, the pace dizzying—

[Combat] Polly gained 80,000 XP.

[Combat] X gained 80,000 XP.

[Combat] Refined Into a Demon 715 gained 80,000 XP.

[Combat] ……

[Announcement] Thunder rumbles, the heavens shake; max-level gifts for you to take! Dragons and tigers vie no more—only the first shall claim the prize! Congratulations to Huaxia Summit’s [Polly] for obtaining the Max-Level Gift Pack!

[Announcement] Thunder rumbles, the heavens shake; max-level gifts for you to take! Dragons and tigers vie no more—only the first shall claim the prize! Congratulations to Holy Light Sanctuary’s [X] for obtaining the Max-Level Gift Pack!

[Announcement] Thunder rumbles, the heavens shake; max-level gifts for you to take! Dragons and tigers vie no more—only the first shall claim the prize! Congratulations to Huaxia Summit’s [Refined Into a Demon 715] for obtaining the Max-Level Gift Pack!

[Announcement] ……

The system messages for a hundred players spamming the screen was truly spectacular.

But even at this speed, some unwilling teammates cut in with megaphone pinned messages—

[Megaphone] War-Bodhi Patriarch: Snow Wolf, look at the shitty name you picked for our family! With numbers, English, and pinyin initials, we’re stuck at the very end!!!

[Megaphone] Horse Without Night: If I’d used my old account, I’d have been first to pop up [Sigh]

[Megaphone] Grass Never Grows Fat: Then use it.

[Megaphone] Horse Without Night: Babe, I’m sorry, I love our couple tags now! That old ID was so dumb—who names themselves 2B? Hahahaha

[Megaphone] Big H: The desperation is real…

[Megaphone] Nicknamed White Dragon Horse: Heartbreaking to hear, heartbreaking to see.

[Megaphone] Drink Till You Drop: Time to loot.

A simple sentence, yet it silenced the previously chaotic battlefield, even instilling a sense of solemn readiness.

What Name Works in this Game shivered, every hair on his body standing on end. The max-level loot was system-given, but a world boss of this significance would surely drop plenty of goodies itself.

What’s the point of playing MMOs? Fun! Brothers united, their strength formidable. With hundreds of comrades joining forces for this takedown, the moment of loot distribution was undeniably thrilling!

This surge of excitement almost made up for all the inexplicable mental harm he’d endured earlier.

The candy’s effects wore off early, and all players returned to human form. Yet the order remained unshaken—everyone stayed in place as one teammate stepped forward leisurely to loot.

What Name Works in this Game stared at his [Holy Light Sanctuary][Rain Through the Woods] tag, both surprised and moved.

The biggest fear in cross-server collaboration is mutual distrust and everyone making their own plans. But here, with Huaxia Summit’s players willingly letting Holy Light Sanctuary handle the loot—despite the risk of loot being pocketed—what incredible trust!

The looter didn’t disappoint, quickly posting all the loot info—

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Rain Through the Woods: [Ghost Path Gold Armor Top][Ghost Path Gold Boots][Ghost Path Shoulderpads][Jade Vase][Talisman Manual]

What Name Works in this Game clicked through each item, his eyes widening further.

This wasn’t a loot package—just drops from one world boss. Normally, one epic gear would be impressive, but three, plus a top-tier item and a new skill manual? This wasn’t just luck—it was a full-blown treasure trove!

Rain Through the Woods must be hacking!

Wait, he spotted something even more hacked—

[Jade Vase]

Effect: 100% capture success rate, no target restrictions. Captured targets and their drops enter the vase, vanishing into smoke after a short time.

Other: Breaks after three uses.

Vanishing into smoke?!

[Huaxia] Refined Into a Demon 715: Aaaah, Commander, did you see this? This vase is just like the Purple-Gold Red Gourd! I want it! >_<

[Huaxia] Milk is Mom: Don’t worry, the commander will definitely get it for you.

[Huaxia] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Dutch Souvenir: Boss Yao…

[Huaxia] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: No need to say it—I’m absolutely not letting them have it.

Comrades one second, enemies the next… What Name Works in this Game took a deep breath, barely containing his excitement. It felt like countless little voices in his heart were shouting, PK! PK!

[Huaxia] Milk is Mom: PK.

[Huaxia] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: Same as usual—best of three.

[Huaxia] Milk is Mom: Drink, H, Wolfie, Breaky—how’s that?

[Huaxia] Drink Till You Drop: Fully agree.

[Huaxia] Big H, War-Snow Wolf, Everything Breaks: Drop the nicknames.

What Name Works in this Game let go of his mouse, rubbing his hands eagerly.

The two servers that scored the first max-level kills were undoubtedly Huaxia’s top elites. A PK between these two teams—who would win? No, it didn’t matter who won. What excited him was witnessing a showdown between masters firsthand, finally getting a direct sense of Huaxia’s ultimate allure.

[Local] Milk is Mom: Oops, accidentally hit someone~~~

[Local] Milk is Mom used Resurrection.

[Local] Milk is Mom: *Pats head*, you okay?

Hmm, though something felt off, there was no denying this was a kind person.

With his screen regaining color, What Name Works in this Game typed sincerely—

[Local] What Name Works in this Game: I’m fine, thanks.

[Local] Milk is Mom: Tourist time?

[Local] What Name Works in this Game: Yep.

[Local] Milk is Mom: Then come to our server! Seriously, we need blazing-hot fresh blood like you!

How did his cold dead corpse translate to ‘blazing-hot fresh blood’?!

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: Ghost Legion.

[Local] Milk is Mom: Fine, fine, we’ll chat later~~ First PK match—we’re sending Birdy~ You’re still sending Thousand Mountains?

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: Who else but me? [Flips hair]

[Local] Polly: Please advise.

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: Let’s learn from each other.

[Local] Mad Lad: As much as I hate to say it—Zombie, crush him!

[Local] Polly: If you’d stop babysitting his dog, my chances would improve.

[Local] Mad Lad: You’re still so damn annoying.

What Name Works in this Game now automatically ignored all the mysterious vibes, clearing his mind to focus solely on the PK, convincing himself that every game has its oddballs, but the core gameplay is universal.

This battle didn’t disappoint.

He never imagined someone could play a healer so violently, like the Victorious Fighting Buddha. But the other side was just as relentless—precise positioning, razor-sharp strikes. It almost made him doubt—was this really the same zombie class he was using? Why did it feel so restricted in his hands yet turned to gold in Polly’s?

The PK lasted fifteen minutes.

For a PK, that was a marathon.

Yet What Name Works in this Game felt no fatigue, not even blinking for fear of missing a single brilliant move. His fingers even twitched on the keyboard, simulating those two people’s actions in his mind.

This was the game he wanted. This was the passion he craved!

[System] The Dimensional Rift will close in 10 minutes.

The sudden alert snapped What Name Works in this Game out of his thoughts—and interrupted the battle.

Rift closure meant all Holy Light Sanctuary players would be forcibly returned. What was the point of fighting for gear if it would just end up in the hands of the local “landlords”?

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: Not enough time. Forget best of three—we might not even finish one round.

[Local] Milk is Mom: Plan B?

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: ……I hate it.

[Local] Drink Till You Drop, Snow Wolf, Everything Breaks, Big H: We hate it too!!!

[Local] Milk is Mom: But there’s no other way~ Hehehe~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Local] Crossplayer’s Blessing: The commander’s super excited…

[Local] Mad Lad: He’s been waiting for this day.

[Local] Milk is Mom: It’s the fastest, most effective method. Enough talk—let’s go!

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] X: Quick, use the nunchucks~~ Hmph, ha, hee!

[Local] Milk is Mom: Starting with the ult~~ So mean~~ ~\(≧▽≦)/~~~ Heyo, hehehe, heyo~ No mountain too high, no river too deep~

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] Don’t Stop the Meds: Kiss you deeply~~ Kiss away your tears~

[Local] Milk is Mom: Tick-tock, tick-tock~ The clock keeps turning~

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary] No Birds Over a Thousand Mountains: Move~ Cheer for new records~

[Local] Milk is Mom: The little girl picking mushrooms~~ Carrying a big bamboo basket~

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary]Everyone: ……

[Local] The entire Huaxia Summit: ……

[Local] [Holy Light Sanctuary]Everyone: Fuck!!!

What Name Works in this Game swallowed hard, clapping involuntarily.

Instant kill. A clean One Cut Kill.

[System] The Dimensional Rift has closed.

Watching Holy Light Sanctuary depart, What Name Works in this Game couldn’t articulate his feelings.

Comrades one moment, rivals the next. The victors rejoice; the defeated despair. This was the law of the jungle—he understood.

But…

Why did they have to PK by singing relay songs?! You lunatics!!!!

[Whisper] Milk is Mom: So? Falling for our server yet? ~\(≧▽≦)/

It was impressive how the Ghost Legion commander could spare a thought for a random like him amidst the server-wide celebration.

What Name Works in this Game hurriedly typed back, hands trembling—

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Your server—no, this game—is truly unique…

[Whisper] Milk is Mom: Then what are you waiting for? End tourist mode and dive in for real!

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: Uh, well, I’m in my third year of high school. Gotta focus on studies…

[Whisper] Milk is Mom: Wow, then why are you gaming? Uninstall now and focus on exams!

[Whisper] What Name Works in this Game: I’m uninstalling!!!

[Whisper] Milk is Mom: Don’t be sad—time flies. Let’s make a six-month pact. When the college entrance exam ends, Huaxia will welcome you back~~~~~ [Pinky swear][Pinky swear][Pinky swear]

What Name Works in this Game stared at the triple emojis, spine chilling.

These weren’t promises—they were the Black and White Impermanence’s death chains…

Mom, I was wrong. I want to study. No, I’m going to study right now!!!! TAT
