Ch37 - He wants to Drag Dying Star Into the Water

Editor: DarkSapphire, Sahloknir

Sunken Moon still had to livestream. After watching the PKs, he queued in the arena.

Bai Zhengyang and Jiang Xiao broadcasted very self-willedly, and not long after they came out, they received the room number from Bai Zhengyang, and they went there.

Pure White Sun and Jiang Xiao willfully ended their streams. Yue Ran received the prior’s message not long after, which contained a room number to which he went.

Jiang Xiao followed and glanced at the little summoner.

Yue Ran was suspicious of him, so he couldn’t ask the youth himself. He sent a WeChat message to Qin Xiujie.

Qin Xiujie, being the efficient one, went straight to questioning his younger cousin.

[(Private) Attired Guqin: What’s with that Anonymous Guardian? Is he pursuing you?]

Black linesappeared on Yue Ran’s face as he dutifully protected his father’s online identity.

[(Private) A- – – – Killer: No, just an ordinary friend.]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: An ordinary friend that calls you ‘darling boy’?]

[(Private) A- – – – Killer: That’s how he is.]

Qin Xiujie was sceptical and told Jiang Xiao the result.

Jiang Xiao put down his phone and heard Pure White Sun throwing flowery praises to the little summoner in voice chat.

Bai Zhengyang did all these things because of Yin Juxing’s words, today Yin Juxing was destroyed by Xiao Xing, he was so happy, he laughed and said: “I see if he will be crazy in the future!”

Pure White Sun set up all of these things because of Star of Jupiter’s words at the restaurant. Today, Star of Jupiter was destroyed by Little Star so badly, the immense happiness he had didn’t need to be mentioned. He laughed wildly and said, “Let’s see if he can continue to act rudely or not!”

Yue Ran didn’t think so. “It’s hard to say, I don’t think he’ll stop after just one fight.”

Pure White Sun disagreed, “He won’t dare to challenge you again.”

Jiang Xiao chimed in, “Not necessarily.”

Pure White Sun asked, “What do you mean?”

“Xing Mie has studied Yin Juxing’s videos and is familiar with his style, but Yin Juxing is not familiar with him, and fans will definitely not accept it,” Jiang Xiao said lightly, “You can watch more world channels and forums these days.”

“Little Star has studied Star of Jupiter’s video and is familiar with his style, but that’s not the case for Star of Jupiter. The fans will definitely refuse to accept the loss.” Jiang Xiao said calmly. “You can confirm my statement from the activities of the world chat and forums in the next few days.”

Pure White Sun was convinced and snorted. “Then we’ll just accept his challenge. Our Little Star is not afraid of him!”

Yue Ran didn’t answer because his guild chat had already exploded.

The prompt system notification sound also pestered him because of what felt like never-ending friend requests.

He switched to guild chat and saw the flying messages of [A God], [Male God], [Big shot], etc. He finally sent a reply.

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: Don’t call me ‘A God’.]

[(Guild) Doughnut: I’m all for Male God!]

[(Guild) The Past: Then how about Killer God!]

[(Guild) Vegetable Flowers: Yes! That one sounds great! Killer God!]

[(Guild) Little Seventh Prince: Hello Killer God! Is Killer God in need ofthigh accessories?]

[(Guild) Wandering Ghost: Hello Fighter God!]

[(Guild) Wandering Ghost: Kill!]

Yue Ran: “…”

For the first time, he regretted coming up with such an unlucky name.

The members of the gang didn’t know what he was thinking, they asked him where he was, and if he was not busy, they came to gather, they were going to set off fireworks to celebrate.

The guild members were completely unaware of his thoughts as they asked where he was and if he was busy one after another. If he wasn’t busy, they planned to celebrate with an inventory full of fireworks.

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: No need.]

[(Guild) The Past: C’mon. We already bought the fireworks.]

[(Guild) Doughnut: Even if you lose today, the Star God’s fans would definitely light their own firework show. I bet the messages they intended to include are much uglier.]

[(Guild) Wandering Ghost: That’s right. Let’s choose a location with large traffic to piss them off!]

The more he knew that they had quarreled with those fans recently, the more he knew that they were holding their breath, so they didn’t refuse and asked Bai Zhengyang if he was okay.

However, he was able to hide from the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth day. After gathering with the members of the gang, they all asked to see the little chicken, so he had no choice but to let a certain chicken out with a blank expression.

sJLIAIb, aI HJHVIH EaI YQbtE rIbtJw, QE HQHw’E hIGw aI vJkSH HJHVI YQYEIIw hJbI. FYEIb VGEaIbQwV LQEa EaI VkQSH, EaIN GSS GtBIH EJ tII EaI SQEESI vaQvB. sI aGH wJ vaJQvI ikE EJ bISIGtI G vIbEGQw vaQvBIw LQEa G LJJHIw YGvI.

The little fat chicken was thrilled. With its three long feathers on its head, it fluttered its small wings in a circle around him.

Although it was so chubby that it was hard to tell where its neck started and ended, it could complete a circle without stopping to gasp for breath, which made all the guild members go into a frenzy at its cuteness.

[(Guild) Doughnut: Male God, what’s its name?]

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: Cub.]

[(Guild) Doughnut: Ah?]

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: Default name given by the system.]

[(Guild) The Past: Which cub is it?]

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: Not sure. I fed it a ton of things but it doesn’t seem like it’s growing much.]

[(Guild) Wandering Ghost: What are its attack stats?]

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: Standard, its only noticeable skill is the knock-off one.]

In fact, it was originally called ‘Little White Chicken’. If he remembered correctly, its name changed when it grew out of its first exaggerated cowlick.

Yue Ru silently glanced at the chicken at his feet, and began to think about whether he should catch some poultry soul beasts to feed it. But it’s hard to get a knock-up skill, what if the feeding is gone?

Yue Ran silently glanced at the little chick by his feet and began to think about whether to tame some spirit birds to feed it. But what if he lost the rare ability from future refinement?

He couldn’t resist the urge to poke it with his staff.

Being poked by its master, it cheerily fluttered its little wings around him again.

The guild members studied it for a while, took a few screenshots with the chicken, and then set off fireworks at the main city’s town square—it being the place with the most activities in the game.

Both worlds’ times were night, so the fireworks exploding in the dark sky was a beautiful sight.

The system is set so that text can be entered. In the past, they were not polite at all, and used fireworks to form a line of words: Warmly celebrate the killing of A-killer who has finished abusing Silver Jupiter!

The firework item allowed players to enter a single letter that would be displayed along with the firework. The Past and others bluntly formed a sentence using several fireworks: [CONGRATS A-KILLER ON DESTROYING STAR OF JUPITER!]

The players nearby looked up, and the fans among them were immediately pissed off.

[(Local) NI: Hey, aren’t you guys going too far!]

[(Local) This Great One is an A: You guys are this happy just from a single victory!]

[(Local) The Past: Excuse me, the one above, are you aware of your typo?]

[(Local) Doughnut: Please correct your mistake, or we’ll change it.]

[(Local) Vegetable Flowers: That’s right. There were so many great gods spectating, so we are not over exaggerating.]

[(Local) Wandering Ghost: And we were praying for one victory, our guildmate ended up winning three. We also felt very regretful. How about you go call your Star God back?]

The fans were speechless from being played like fools.

Because they were right. In the first round, the A-killer was full of blood and flew into the silver Jupiter. In the second round, he was suppressed all the way. In the third round, he was even full of blood. It was indeed a complete abuse.

Because what the guild members said was correct. In the first match, A- – – – Killer knocked Star of Jupiter off, winning with a flawless victory. Then, in the second match, their Star God was suppressed in the entire battle. In the last match, it was another flawless victory for the support summoner. One would even describe this rematch as player abuse.

Inside, they wanted to start conflicts, but they knew that wasn’t reasonable. Finally, they could only throw a few rebukes before walking away bitterly.

The members of the Cabbage Alliance suddenly felt satisfaction.

[(Guild) Vegetable Flowers: I finally know why some people are willing to be someone else’s lackey… because it feels freaking amazing!]

[(Guild) The Past: Pfft.]

[(Guild) Doughnut: You’re the lackey, while I’m Male God’s little fan~]

A small smile appeared on Yue Ran’s face. Although he wasn’t contributing to the chat, his heart was warmed by these little cuties.

Back then, he joined Yueshen’s gang, but because he was in the second year of high school, he basically had no communication with the gang members except for copying books. Now that I think about it, it was quite boring at that time, and I knew that I would stay in the arena all day, unlike now, now this is just playing games.

In the past, when he joined Sunken Moon’s guild, maybe from his insisting on acting distant, he basically had no communication with guild members except during instance dungeons. Now he thought about it, it was really boring at that time, grinding in the arena all day. Unlike now, where he was actually playing the game.

After this thought, he joined his guildmates on setting off several rounds of fireworks, then instance dungeons, and after he had enough fun, he logged off for the night.

The world chat was still raging over the rematch, but as the newest server in the game, it was nothing compared to the game forum for players from all servers.

Silver Jupiter’s popularity is booming, and fans won’t dislike him just because he loses once. Not only that, some calm ones also helped with analysis, and after careful study of the video, they sent long posts.

Star of Jupiter is a very popular name. Fans wouldn’t stop following him just from one loss. Not only that, but some calmer admirers also helped with the analysis and sent a long and detailed post after carefully studying the video.

[First of all, I want to admit that A- – – – Killer is indeed a really strong player. Both in awareness and reaction speed.]

[Secondly, I want to say that Star God actually played at a disadvantage. A- – – – Killer must have studied his past videos, but Star God only has one match to go off of.]

[There’s nothing to comment about the first map other than A- – – – Killer was lucky the system selected an instant death map.]

[In the second game, Star God was suppressed the whole time, which was obviously the result of thorough research. Because of losing two games in the row and not to mention the other great gods spectating, Star God’s mentality was doomed to be distracted, making him not at his peak. At the start of the third match, he was accidentally hit by the freeze crowd control, which remained with him from the very first match against A- – – – Killer, resulting in a complete mentality collapse, which allowed the opponent in getting a flawless victory. So strictly speaking, this was not a very fair PK. Star God couldn’t play at his full strength at all.]

Once the post was publicized, it attracted the approval of countless fans who strongly petition for another rematch.

But there were also many people who followed with cynicism, because Silver Jupiter’s second place has always been criticized. After all, the favorites Yue Shen, Bai Zhengyang, etc. were unlucky to hit the gale and missed the final, otherwise the result may not be known.

But then there were also many people who mocked and ridiculed it because Star of Jupiter’s second-place victory had always been denounced by many players. After all, his title was won through the other great gods being defeated by Tempest in the other bracket, otherwise, the results might not be the same if the other three great gods had the chance at the final.

—[Oh, I think Sun God didn’t play at his full strength against Tempest God at the beginning as well. I also petition for a rematch.]

—[Heyupstairs, you must be an anti-fan. Just say exactly what you mean, don’t bring our Sun God’s name into the mix.]

—[I’m from the new server. To be fair, a few days ago, many of your Star God’s fans cursed at A- – – – Killer before the rematch, saying how he bullied Star God because of poor equipment and lack of a sixth. Now he beats Star God to death minus all the prior disadvantages, you all are saying that was still unfair? I’m always amazed at how dedicated you fans are.]

—[You fans will never be happy until that player loses to Star of Jupiter. Now I speak my mind, I’ll get out of the fans’ wrath.]

—[Do you have eyes to see what we are saying? We all agreed that A- – – – Killer is skilful, and we only hope that Star God can compete with the expert again at his full strength. Is that not even allowed?]

The spitting war became more and more lively, and the post had built hundreds offloorsin the blink of an eye.

Yue Ran heard about this in the guild chat the next day and received it calmly.

Last time, he wasroasted on the fireby fans and forced to fight. This time, it was Star of Jupiter’s turn to taste the consequences.

[(Guild) The Past: If he really wants a rematch, would you accept it?]

[(Guild) Vegetable Flowers: Why fight him again? If he keeps losing, does A- – – – Killer have to spend the rest of his life wasting away in rematches? How shameless does that other person have to be!]

[(Guild) A- – – – Killer: It doesn’t matter.]

Although only the second round yesterday was of some reference value, he could feel that he was stronger than the opponent. As Jiang Xiao and the others said, his chances of winning were higher, so he was not afraid to fight, but he didn’t know if Silver Jupiter still had the courage to come again. .

Although only the second match was worthy of some reference value, he could get a sense that he was better than the other party. Just like Jiang Xiao said, his odds of winning were higher, so he wasn’t afraid of rematches. But he didn’t know whether Star of Jupiter had the courage to challenge him again.

He simply comforted his guildmates, then followed them to form a party to do quests. When he finished, he continued to carry his father on the road to max out his old man’s level as soon as possible.

Jiang Xiao felt that the matter of Silver Jupiter was more settled, and it should be his turn next, but the other party didn’t find him after waiting for a day, so he took the initiative to chat with him privately, either to bring that friend with ulterior motives or to accompany the members of the gang , only when Yue Shen and the others were there, would he have a chance to speak to Yue Ran.

Jiang Xiao felt that since Yue Ran had settled things with Star of Jupiter, it would be his turn next. However, after waiting for a day, the little summoner didn’t look for him, so he took the initiative to talk to the other privately, and learned that the youth was either playing with the friend with an ulterior motive or with his guildmates. The only chance for them to talk was when Sunken Moon and others were online.

This lasted three to four days, and he finally understood the situation.

His little summoner’s way to deal with this matter—was to hide from him for the time being.

He placed his face in one of his hands, and stared at the [Doing instance dungeons with the guild] in their private chat for the nth time, he couldn’t bear with it any longer.

He then pulled his two officers into a private voice chat room and said mildly, “I’ve been thinking about expanding our guild.”

Qin Xiujie and Ashen Inner Thoughts both sent ellipses in the voice room chat at the same time.

Their guild leader never cared about the guild affairs. Why was he acting out of the ordinary today?

However, Ashen Inner Thoughts was happy that the leader got over the emotional scar, so he asked, “What’s your plan?”

Jiang Xiao said, “Do you know who A- – – – Killer is?”

Qin Xiujie: “…”

Expanding our guild? Bullshit! No matter how you put it, it’s all in the name of courting Ran Ran!

Ashen Inner Thoughts said matter of factly, “Of course, he is a hot topic these days. I even got the front row seat at the arena!”

“He’s in the Cabbage Alliance guild.” Jiang Xiao explained. “I checked and they are created by a group of first-year students from our university.”

Ashen Inner Thoughts wondered, “And?”

Jiang Xiao concluded, “Since we are all from the same university, we should unite.”

It took some time for Ashen Inner Thoughts to react, once he understood the leader’s meaning, he exclaimed, “So you want us to merge. Us merged to them, or they merged to us?”

Jiang Xiao answered, “Either is fine.”

After a pause, he added, “Don’t be too obvious, you go to get acquainted with their leader first, and then reveal that you are a college student after getting acquainted. It’s best to have a meal when the school starts.”

After a pause, he added, “Don’t act too obvious. First, get to know their guild leader, and then leak that you’re a college student. It’s best to invite them to a meal before classes start.”

Ashen Inner Thoughts naturally understood that this was for him to handle.

Jiang Xiao directed the next one to Qin Xiujie, “A- – – – Killer has a friend who is guildless. A-Jie, find a way to recruit him.”

Qin Xiujie knew the other wanted to keep his love rival close, and accepted with a twitching mouth, “…Okay.”

After Jiang Xiao gave each of them an order, he felt more at ease. He switched back to the game and waited patiently for Yue Ran to meet them in the arena because this was the only time of the day when he could see the little summoner.

But as soon as he returned to the game window, he saw a series of messages.

[(Horn) Peak of Martial Arts: Why isn’t the Great Dying Star answering?]

[(Horn) Peak of Martial Arts: Great Dying Star, are you there?]

[(Horn) I am Support: Is there something wrong with Star of Jupiter’s fans’ heads? They acted like wild dogs biting anyone on sight after their own idol lost!]

[(Horn) You Among the Starlight: Please don’t plant everything on top of us fans’ heads. Not buying it, thank you!]

[(Horn) Peak of Martial Arts: Don’t accuse me wrongly, I’m really not his fan. I’m just curious. Are none of you curious?]

On the world chat, countless players immediately sent [+1].

[(World) I am Support: Alright, I see. You guys are just watching the fun while trying to make things worse!]

[(World) Mimosa Flower: Don’t be like that, can’t some of us just be a little curious? None of us are forcing your Great Dying Star to take up a challenge.]

[(World) Your Real Brother: I’ve seen others praising Dying Star in the past. But none of us newer players have seen his skill first-hand.]

[(World) Killer K: That’s right. Let usbumpkinsgain the experience.]

[(World) Full of Charm: Great God, you are not scared are you?]

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. He clicked the newest horn message and scrolled up, seeing what started this.

—[(Horn) Peak of Martial Arts: In a battle between Dying Star and A- – – – Killer, who will win?]

—[(Horn) Peak of Martial Arts: I heard that the Great Dying Star was the strongest support summoner in the past. As it happened that A- – – – Killer was also a support summoner. I wait for the day they PK and to see the results (excited).]

Jiang Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.

If this discussion was not triggered by a player’s curiosity, there was only one other possibility—Star of Jupiter had been roasted on the fire by fans for three to four days. It seemed that he had finally figured a new way—he wanted to pull Dying Star into this messy situation.
