Jiang Ming’s attributes were much higher than these three men. As he continued to vigorously attack them, he was also thinking about how to escape from the crowd.

As the battle became even more intense, the crowd around them grew. Some of the players with higher levels who were walking by stopped to see what was happening since there was a crowd. They walked over and the battle caught their attention. Some of them were even gaming masters but the scene that happened after that shocked the entire crowd.

They only saw Jiang Ming slide forward and dodged both the attack from the man with the high-arched nose and his companion. Before standing up, Jiang Ming twisted his body, dodged the skinny man’s attack, and went behind him. He immediately swung his sword around the man’s neck, gave one last hit and finished him.

After finishing the skinny man, he held the sword with his backhand, turned around and pierced it into the chest of the other man who was rushing towards him. The shocking thing that happened was that he was holding onto the sword of the man with the high-arched nose in his other hand. Surprisingly, as soon as Jiang Ming caught the sword, it automatically dismantled and became an ore which then disappeared.

Just when everyone was still in shock, he took the chance to finish the other man and the only one left was the man with the high-arched nose who started to panic. At the same time, Jiang Ming looked up for the man’s username which was ‘Cumtillyou’refull’— a wretched name indeed.

“Woah… that’s… he’s so powerful. His moves are so smooth and he even killed two of them at once. How did he dismantle his opponent’s sword?!”

“I think it’s because of the powerful attribute of his bronze weapon. His actual skills are just average.”

 　　…

 For a while, all the players around them were still discussing Jiang Ming’s skills.

A handsome man amongst the crowd who was in a black rookie costume was not shocked after seeing this scene. Instead, he was a little doubtful and asked the man who was standing next to him in a soft voice, “Mo Yi, don’t you think that his skills and steps seem very familiar?”

“Yeah.” The man named Mo Yi narrowed his eyes and nodded his head thoughtfully, as he was unwilling to continue talking.

“He looks familiar though, as if I have seen him in the para-virtual game ‘Glory’, but I just can’t remember who he is,” The man in black muttered.

He really couldn’t remember. The man in black shook his head and decided to stop thinking about it. Instead, he turned his attention to the iron sword that Jiang Ming was holding onto, “The sword in his hands looks good. Since the battle is over now, let’s go and ask if he’s willing to sell it.”

 　　…

Because only ‘Cumtillyou’refull’ was left and his weapon was already destroyed, Jiang Ming finished him in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ming did not put his guard down even after defeating the three men. He drank a bottle of blood rejuvenation potion and coldly glanced at the players around him who were greedily staring at the iron sword in his hands.

The players in the crowd saw that Jiang Ming had started recovering and was about to make a move but stopped when they noticed a man in black walking out from the crowd. All of them immediately put their weapons away and looked at the man with a trace of respect and fear in their eyes.

When Jiang Ming noticed the change, he was slightly taken aback and his eyes fell on the man in black.

“It’s him!” When he saw the face of the man who was dressed in black, Jiang Ming was a little shocked and muttered to himself, ‘That’s Mu BaiTang, the chairman of the TK guild! One of the top three guilds in the gaming world! Can’t believe that I’m seeing him at the novice village.”

TK was the abbreviation for The King. It was said that Mu BaiTing was actually the young master of a wealthy family and had been into gaming for more than ten years. He was considered to be one of the top masters in the gaming world. He had established the top-ranking TK Guild that was actually a well-known guild with its good reputation.

Jiang Ming has actually met him before this. It was in a 1 vs 1 battle competition. They had to win two rounds out of three. At that time, he actually lost the first round and in the last round, he only won Mu BaiTing by chance. He was indeed a very strong opponent.

It wasn’t only Mu BaiTing who was powerful. Even his men were all-powerful masters. A good example would be Mo Yi who was standing next to him, someone that Jiang Ming was very familiar with. 

Mo Yi was actually Mu BaiTang’s bodyguard, in reality, a professional in ancient martial arts, but he was a man of few words. He always had a cold look on his face and with his handsome appearance, he was actually just as popular as Mu BaiTang.

As Jiang Ming saw Mu BaiTing who was walking towards him with Mo Yi, he wasn’t nervous at all and was looking at them very calmly.

‘Hmmm? He looks so familiar… he looks like … the legendary ‘The Immovable Protector’ who disappeared three years ago. Is it really him?’ Mu BaiTang thought to himself as he saw Jiang Ming’s calm eyes as he walked towards him.

“The Immovable Protector?” In order to verify his thoughts, Mu BaiTang took a good look at Jiang Ming and was staring at him with a suspicious look.

The Immovable Protector! Mo Yi who was standing next to him trembled. He didn’t really care about Jiang Ming before this, but as soon as he heard Mu BaiTing’s question, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ming and he was staring at him.

It wasn’t only Mo Yi, even the players around them stared at Jiang Ming with a surprised look on their face.

Jiang Ming didn’t expect that Mu BaiTing could actually recognize him even after he changed his name and appearance. But in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, he didn’t want to admit it. Instead, he pretended to be shocked and looked around. Then he looked at Mu BaiTing and asked, “Where’s The Immovable Protector? I’m a big fan of him!”

‘Are you not?’ Mu BaiTing muttered to himself with disappointment when he saw that Jiang Ming was still looking around.

“Can we speak in private?” Mu BaiTing said to Jiang Ming again.

“Hehe.” Jiang Ming smiled and said, “I know you. You’re Mu BaiTing, the president of TK, right? You’re one of the few people who actually won my idol once. Sure, let’s talk if that’s what you want.”

‘Looks like it really isn’t him…’ Mu BaiTing shook his head. Then, he smiled and gestured to Jiang Ming to follow him.

Jiang Ming nodded and walked side by side with Mu BaiTing towards the novice village. As they were leaving, Jiang Ming turned around and looked at the players who were still staring at him. Then he let out a long sigh of relief.

Luckily, Mu BaiTing’s appearance stunned the other players. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for him to get out of this mess.

Although he managed to get away from the crowd, he already knew what would happen next. He knew that they had eyes on his iron sword. Of course, if they were able to give a satisfactory price, he wouldn’t mind selling it. He could still get some ore and make another one after that since getting the cash was the most important thing now as his sister was still waiting for him to pay her tuition fees.

Initially, he was going to sell the Supreme Pendant and the silver box that he was currently using. It would definitely sell at an astronomical price. However, when he thought about where they came from and how he got them, he decided against it as it even involved someone’s life. What if he got into trouble after selling it? This is also why he extravagantly bound the supreme pendant watch to himself.

He had plans to sell off Liao WenDong’s ordinary pendant but even if he sold it, it still wouldn’t be enough to pay for his sister’s tuition fees. So, the only way to earn a living now is by selling gaming equipment.

“Misty River, I didn’t expect you to be at such a high level. Looks like you’ve had a lot of opportunities.” Mu BaiTang smiled as he spoke to Jiang Ming. He must have looked through Jiang Ming’s information.

“I was just lucky.” Jiang Ming smiled as he nodded his head.

“Luck is also a part of your strength. Besides, your position and skills are very similar to your idol. I must say that you are the only player I’ve seen that could imitate him that well. You must have put in a lot of effort.” Mu BaiTang was still beating around the bush.

‘Imitate? Haha, I am The Immovable Protector, why do I have to imitate him?’ Jiang Ming thought to himself but instead, he replied, “Well, I have studied my idol for a very long time.””Present Mu, why don’t we just cut the chase? I know that you didn’t come to me because of my idol. Even if you did, I wouldn’t know much. Plus, I would want to know about my idol more than you.” Jiang Ming noticed that Mu BaiTing was being reluctant to start the topic and decided to directly mention it since he still had to hand in the mission.

Mu BaiTing laughed and said, “I’m interested in the bronze weapon that you have. State a price for it. I don’t have any gold coins but I can exchange them for dragon coins at a rate of 1 to 5.”

“This….”
