[FLOTG] Chapter 12: Arena (Part 1)

Shen Huai stared at the cutesy <Falling Sleet> on the screen in deep contemplation. Song Xue-Yang was a very meticulous thinker, and his tactics were strange and unpredictable. Among the pro gamers, he was known as a ghost fox. If he wanted to approach Shen Huai, it wasn't impossible that he might have deliberately made a smurf sniper account. It's just... they were already friends to begin with, so Song Xue-Yang could have just openly sought him out to speak with him. Why did he have to play a smurf account and trick him? The more Shen Huai thought about it, the more confused he was. If Song Xue-Yang had some secret shameful motive for approaching him and could not let him discover his real identity, then why did Song Xue-Yang fire that shot so incautiously when Shen Huai was being pursued? Unable to figure it out, Shen Huai decided to let it be for now. He would wait and see what Song Xue-Yang wanted to do. Everyone chose a treasure chest and opened it. The bo

[FLOTG] Chapter 11: Suspicion

<One Leaf Skiff> laughed out loud. [ Makes sense, makes sense. Ash Wing has never turned on his camera while streaming. Maybe he just doesn't look good? ] Quite a lot of people online suspected this as well. After all, there was really no reasonable explanation for a streamer with 3 million fans to not show their face on camera, unless they were afraid they would lose fans due to their bad looks. Hai Xing instantly said: [ I don't believe it! ] Song Xue-Yang did not believe it either. Even if Ash Wing was ugly, he could have at least turned on his microphone. There were plenty of streamers who were mic-only without showing themselves on camera, and even those streamers who used a voice changer to change their voices were still doing very well in their live-stream channels. And yet Ash Wing did not go with any of these routes. He guarded himself so well that it seemed more like he was more concerned with protecting his identity than with gaining more followers. <

[FLOTG] Chapter 10: Falls Abyss Dungeon

This time, the party had a warrior, a healer, a sniper, a mage, and an assassin. It finally looked like they had some reasonable damage output. Shen Huai asked in the party chat: [ One Leaf Skiff, do you still have any friends who want to join? There's one spot left. ] [ Party ][ One Leaf Skiff ]: Hehe, nope. We're both on our own. Let's call for another DPS. Shen Huai called out on the world chat twice, but not only did no one apply to join their party, they instead drew insults from <Drunken Snow>'s clan members. [ World ][ Mysterious Cloud ]: The scammers are recruiting for a mission now. Go ahead and join them if you're not afraid to die. [ World ][ Ride the Wind ]: Hehe, I'm curious to see who would dare join them. <One Leaf Skiff> really despised bullies like these. [ If we can't get anyone else, let's just go ahead with 5 people. ] Song Xue-Yang sent a private message to <Endless Maple Moon>, the guild leader of

[FLOTG] Chapter 9: Apprentice

In this situation, Shen Huai immediately thought of Song Xue-Yang. His sniper was unpredictable during matches, and there was practically no spot safe from his sniping, no person he was unable to reap. Song Xue-Yang's sniper had left a strong impression on any powerhouse pro team who had ever faced Maple Moon in a team battle, without exception. This competitive season, the game developers of "City of Despair" had removed the talent Killing Strike, in large part due to how fearsome Song Xue-Yang's sniper had been. No fragile character class could escape the fate of being killed in one shot once their HP dropped below 50%. Shen Huai rapidly scaled Cloudfall Peak. This was the only suitable sniping spot he had discovered after examining the terrain. Even though this area was a full 1,200 metres away from where he had been fighting, that shot would have been no problem if it was Song Xue-Yang! Sure enough, there was a sniper in prone sniping position on a boulder a

The next morning, Shen Huai noticed something different about his account as soon as he logged on. A golden yuanbao {Also known as 'sycee': } symbol could be seen above the character's head. This was the mark indicating that the account had a bounty placed on it. Sure enough, the system notified him that he owed a blood debt for his evil ways ― the player <Drunken Snow> had offered 500,000 gold coins seeking the help of those with strength and power to help avenge her. Shen Huai clicked into his mailbox and saw that the email he had sent to <Drunken Snow> had been marked as read. [ Loudspeaker ][ Mysterious Cloud ]: Attention everyone! The scammer has come online! Scamming money and then killing the victims. Avoid him if you meet him so you don't end up bloodied. This <Mysterious Cloud> was also part of the Primo Wolf guild, and their ID was styled exactly like <Drunken Snow>'s, so they clearly belonged to the same clan. Shen Hua
