Chapter 86: Overpowered

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Never would Tang Yongkai have thought that “Unpleasant Rain” was so powerful. It was like fighting his boss Lin Feng, yet those endless heart-piercing chat bubbles did not allow him to calm down.

He had actually stopped thinking about any sarcasm in those chat bubbles. Now, he could not help feeling that his opponent was indeed a crackerjack, who surpassed him in all aspects, that was why the opponent could PK him and type simultaneously…

This sole reason had utterly disheartened Tang Yongkai. He made a minor mistake, and Lin Feng heaved a sigh. Sure enough, this minor mistake of “Hoodlum Master” was seized by “Unpleasant Rain”, who then launched a smooth and magnificent combo attack upon him. He literally had no chance to fight back!

Her sword moved like the wind. One could barely see the blade itself, but only the dazzling reflection from it.

Just as the HP of “Hoodlum Master” was low enough to be killed with a single blow, “Unpleasant Rain” stopped her movement. Her exquisite sword had returned to its scabbard too.

“What’s the meaning of this?” the traumatized Tang Yongkai responded. Perhaps “Unpleasant Rain” did not have the heart to torture him further? Perhaps she was taking a pity on him?

Many audience players were bewildered as well, and started speculating all kind of reasons. Some thought that “Unpleasant Rain” carried the love for talents, after all this “Hoodlum Master” had indeed put up a longer defence and not yet exploded with rage. If it was any others, they might have gone up the wall and started yelling. It was like torturing an animal, so cruel!

At the sight of the public chat, “Yu Shengfan” instinctively sneered, “What? Love for talents? Hahaha, his existence is merely to satisfy a variety of things, don’t care about him, everyone. I’m just too bored, and feel like torturing him 1 HP by 1 HP until he was dead without using a weapon. How do you guys feel? Interesting? Amusing? Amazing? Surprising? Happy?”

Just as this sentence appeared above “Unpleasant Rain”, who had kept her devastating famed sword in inventory and was ready to PK barehanded. All the audience players were reduced to silence, as a word flashed through their mind – Demon.

This fellow was a downright demon. What bitter grudge did she hold against “Hoodlum Master”? Why was she doing all of this to him?

Suddenly, everyone recalled that “Hoodlum Master” was the one who started teasing “Unpleasant Rain”, mocking people as a ladyboy fat otaku. So, “Hoodlum Master” was bullied like this due to his own impudence. Did any otaku steal the rice in your family?

Realizing the current situation, Tang Yongkai conceded defeat right away. He would have pulled off the internet cable but this was his boss’ internet cafe, in which all the equipment were new yet the CPUs were locked, hence that was not possible…

On seeing the surrender of “Hoodlum Master”, “Yu Shengfan” immediately let out a “Tsk” sound. Fortunate enough, she was playing in a private deluxe room. She was used to the most expensive items, including internet services. If she was playing in the regular hall and was recognized as “Unpleasant Rain”, everyone would have beaten the daylights out of her no matter what sort of great beauty she was!

In facts, some players had been watching the match behind Tang Yongkai all this while. Imagine a remarkable player in the new server was matched against “Unpleasant Rain”, that would certainly be a spectacular PK. Not only that they must witness it, but they were looking to learn a thing or two from them.

In the end, “Hoodlum Master” was overpowered, beyond everyone’s expectation. It had occurred to everyone that Tang Yongkai could at least stop the chat bubbles of “Unpleasant Rain” and force her to fight with him to all of her abilities. But the truth was sickening!

“Hoodlum Tang? Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, you were tortured only once.”

“There’s a big discrepancy between your equipment. Though the arena is already more balanced, but it can’t be completely balanced… so don’t give a hoot about it, Hoodlum Tang.”

“Don’t forget Hoodlum Tang, even ‘Unpleasant Rain’ had defeated you, but it could not change the reality that he is a ladyboy fat otaku, while you are the most handsome internet cafe manager!”

“Such a dishonorable player like ‘Unpleasant Rain’ should be tracked down and beaten to death someday. That fellow is way too arrogant!”

As everyone was actively comforting Tang Yongkai, he who had sunk into depression for just thirty seconds, again giggled optimistically. It was uncertain how many times he had been tortured by his boss Lin Feng, he had thus cultivated a sturdy heart, another trait of him that was appreciated by Lin Feng.

Without a sturdy heart in a 5v5 team battle, one would not be able to perform in a downbeat battle [1]. Know that the team battle in “Eternal War” is not as simple as PK, the character required growth during the early game to farm the unique items in “Eternal War”, such as equipment, auras, etc.

Even for the God of Tycoon players[2] who own superior equipment at the start, if they do not obtain a good amount of last hits for character growth in the early game, their total equipment would be surpassed in the late game. Hence, the rich Esports clubs always like to play with early-game strategy to rely on the advantages of superior equipment, while the small Esports clubs like to play with late-game strategy, their favorite quote – Play safe like a turtle and grow, don’t rush.

The most powerful Esports teams would be those which are initially strong in early game, yet able to grow rapidly, thus become inconceivably powerful in late game. The “rifle king” Zhou Zhelin was famous for her swift farming and strong laning. If she could be protected by the team from any sudden attackers like assassin, ninja or swordmistress until the late battle, basically the victory of team battle had been secured.

Seeing the smile on Tang Yongkai’s face, Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Tang Yongkai would suffer a mental breakdown due to being tortured by “Unpleasant Rain”. Without a doubt, the PK prowess of “Unpleasant Rain” was already considered as professional level, while Tang Yongkai’s solo-battle skills were actually below his team-battle skills, so it was common for him to be crushed to pulp by “Unpleasant Rain”.

Anyway, who is this “Unpleasant Rain”?

Lin Feng was pretty sure that she was not a professional player, and definitely not a celebrity professional player. But her gaming skills were celebrity-level. He could not help searching for the name “Unpleasant Rain” in team battle scoreboard. To his utter surprise, this “Unpleasant Rain” had never played a team battle!

At this moment, Lin Feng’s love for talents prickled. He could not wait to pull “Unpleasant Rain”, this seemingly new person to his team.

In reality, Ye Hai was typing frantically. It was obvious that he had been writing in an intoxicated state. The words he wrote were more beautiful than what Zhao Youyue had experienced in the world of novel, especially the PK part in which “Unpleasant Rain” brought “Hoodlum Master” to his knees. It was as if he had entered “The Strongest King” and witnessed all of this on his own, not to mention that writing the game contents was his specialty. Imagine how surprised his wife Li Mengyao would be when he showed her this part of the story!

Translation Note:

[1] Downbeat battle(逆风战) refers to the battle phase that is close to losing; upbeat battle (顺风战) refers the battle phase that is close to winning

[2] Play cowardly and grow, don’t rush (猥琐发育,别浪) – a quote from the game “King of Glory (王者荣耀)” in China, means play safe in early-game, focus in farming and avoid any big team battles until the team has grown into a powerful shape.
