At this moment in the game.
A line of golden announcements rang through the server channel.
World announcement: Firmament Age 1375, led by Human Hero Dragon Epitome, the Light of Dawn guild defeated Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios and destroyed the Blaze Altar. Dragon Epitome also died bravely in this battle. His deeds are recorded in the Firmament Archive and will be remembered by the world. With the destruction of the Blaze Altar, the Blaze Canyon officially becomes the territory of the Alliance.
Ancient Black Dragon Mephisto: “F*ck, how did you get knocked down?”
Xiao Yu: “Forget it, it was the Light of Dawn guild.”
Ancient Black Dragon Mephisto: “Light of Dawn?”
Xiao Yu: “That’s Spring Studio.”
Ancient Black Dragon Mephisto: “F*ck, that rich second generation studio?”
Xiao Yu: “That’s right. The team was led by two Hero Mode players. They used magic scrolls and Fire Resistance Potions as if they didn’t cost money. I really could not defeat them. You should be more alert, your house is just next to mine—maybe you will be next. Prepare to fight.”
Ancient Black Dragon Mephisto: “Fight? I can’t afford to fight with them, I should just run.”
World announcement: Firmament Age 1375, Ancient Black Dragon Mephisto left the Black Dragon Abyss without a trace. The difficulty level of the Black Dragon Abyss dungeon was reduced from a 40 Elite team dungeon to 25 Normal team dungeon.
Xiao Yu was shocked and thought, “That was pretty firm and resolute. Is that what they call fleeing at the mere sight of an oncoming force? Anyway, it is better to run away quickly before being defeated.”
Alas, if it were the Ancient Black Dragon Mephisto who had been knocked down, he would’ve been the one who ran away. Although that was a bit shameful, he could survive. Unfortunately, it had not happened. At the thought of losing his character, Xiao Yu tried to weep, but he failed to shed a tear.
Xiao Yu did not cry at all. He had a positive mentality. Besides that, he had made hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past few months and earned a surplus after deducting his prior investments. Generally speaking, he had not played for nothing in the past few years. His average annual income was above $100,000. But when he thought about that figure shrouded in lava and flames, Xiao Yu could not help but feel pity. A Three Skeleton Level Boss Mode was so rare in the game.
For the next few days, Xiao Yu did not enter the game. He had been hit too hard. Without the level 60 Demonic Blaze Overlord, there was no fun in playing the lowest level monster modes. Anyway, as he was tired of playing the game, he found an adult game to play and relax.
This situation lasted for more than half a month. On this day, as Xiao Yu was holding hands with a virtual blonde, an email notice suddenly came.
The sender was Liu Fei.
Liu Fei was one of his followers. He was the Flame Controller in the dungeon. After the destruction of the Flaming Temple, he escaped by chance, hid in the Fire Elemental Plane, and did not contact Xiao Yu for a long time.
Liu Fei: “Brother, what are you doing now? Are you demoralized? I mean, if your character is dead, just get a new one. Anyway, you’re famous now, so what’s the big deal?”
Xiao Yu: “Famous? What do you mean?”
Liu Fei: “Eh, don’t you know that Spring Studio has uploaded the video of them killing Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios online? You’re very famous now.”
What!? Xiao Yu could hardly remain calm. Even though he had been knocked down, uploading the video online was such a b*tch move.
Although he complained about it, he was not surprised. Actually, he was mentally prepared for this. As the last Boss of the Three Skeleton Level dungeon, he would be surprised if his death was not posted online.
Pushing aside the body of the big-breasted beauty, Xiao Yu entered the Dou Mao game video website. The game videos of Firmament were all posted on this website. With a quick search, he managed to find that video. Unexpectedly, it was ranked in the top few on the list, with tens of millions of views. He had really become famous.
The name of the video was in the format of a traditional serial novel: “Destruction of the Blaze Altar by the Light of Dawn. Holy Light Envoy Angrily Kills the Demonic Blaze Overlord”.
When he opened the video, a passionate song played in his ears. This video was obviously retouched and processed. Various montage shots conversed with the close ups of Dragon Epitome and Phoenix’s actions and facial expressions, together with various BGMs. Tragic music played when the group members fell down, then a hopeful song played when Phoenix used the Holy Light to revive members. Finally, when members fought the Demonic Blaze Overlord under the attack of Star Storm, the music reached a climax.
When the Demonic Blaze Overlord self-destructed, the scene fell into a white light in the explosion. When the white light disappeared, in a solemn and stringing soprano singing, the surviving adventurers stood up one by one in the ruins of the Blaze Altar. Phoenix, the female Paladin, stood on the body of the Demonic Blaze Overlord holding her sword, with a heroic and resolute figure.
Why was Phoenix the main character of the video? He could clearly remember that Phoenix was only assisting healing during the battle, but in this video, after editing, it gave the impression that Phoenix had led the whole team in fighting against the Demonic Blaze Overlord, and Dragon Epitome had no presence.
However, as a professional player, Xiao Yu immediately understood what was going on. They were using the victory of Phoenix to cover up the failure of Dragon Epitome, which made people feel as if they had won a brilliant victory, and downplayed the death of Dragon Epitome completely.
Sh*t, if he had not been involved in the battle and didn’t know what had happened, he would’ve almost been moved by this video. Hehe, Spring Studio had made a good move.
Liu Fei: “Brother are you done watching?”
Xiao Yu: “Yes.”
Liu Fei: “Any thoughts?”
Xiao Yu: “No, but you’re right, it’s time to get back to the battlefield.”
He did not really have any feelings. The feelings of anger before had gradually faded after this period of relaxation. True, as a Boss, the meaning of his existence was to be knocked down by Adventurers. In fact, Xiao Yu had thought that he would have such a day eventually, but he had not expected that day to come so soon. He had thought that he could be arrogant for a year and a half and earn millions before he retired. Unexpectedly, he was defeated after only three months.
Although Dragon Epitome had killed him, he had paid for it and was killed by Explosive Burn, thus paying off old scores. It was no good clinging to the hatred from the past—he should focus on the future.
