Upon confirming that Lu Wu was the descendant of the late King of Beiqi combined with various factors which included Lu Wu’s mysterious true strength and the possibility for him to control the rules of reincarnation, the Soul Liberating Envoy chose to vow loyalty and devotion to him after a prolonged struggle with his inner turmoil.

However, Lu Wu asked him to return to Cha Na to stir up trouble in the future instead of letting him stay.

The Soul Liberating Envoy went down the stairs made from skeletons and came to the side of the King of Skeleton’s throne. He bowed his head slowly.

“Lord Cha Na, I’m back from the investigation.”

“Why did Third Ghost die?” the silhouette on the throne spoke unhurriedly.

The Soul Liberating Envoy reached out his hand from the black robe and handed over a dry branch.

“The Tree Demon? The Rock Ghost King? I knew it!” the voice from the throne was obviously angry.

“Is the Northern Zone insufficient for him and he wanted my Liuli District as well? Does he think that I’m weak? Why is everyone provoking me!”

“Lord Cha Na, what should we do?” the Soul Liberating Envoy lowered his head and asked.

Cha Na remained silent for a while before he opened his mouth, “Let’s put it aside and wait until I could break through the Ghost King State!”

The Soul Liberating Envoy nodded his head and was about to retreat when Cha Na commanded again, “Right, please go to the Underworld Sea and tell the Sea King that I agree with his suggestions.”

Upon hearing that, the Soul Liberating Envoy gave another bow to Cha Na, “I’ve got it.” Then, he gradually retreated.

After the Soul Liberating Envoy had vowed loyalty and devotion to Lu Wu, both Lu Wu and Bei Li burst into laughter in the bedroom.

They did not expect that they could settle this troublesome fellow so easily and this fellow was really going to put a spoke in Cha Na’s wheel. This situation had made Lu Wu and Bei Li crazily amused.

During this period, the development of the influence of the players increased rapidly as the reputation of Battle Online was spreading with high-speed. A lot of players with strong influence from game guilds also joined Battle Online.

The participation of these guild players had made the game even more interesting.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there is trouble. It was common to have conflicts among the players. Having players killed in the wild was the most popular activity other than killing creatures for leveling up.

It was frequent to spot small conflicts between two players which led to huge fights between two game guilds. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

The influence of the players developed actively as all of the players wanted to improve their strengths. They often denounced the officials at the forum collectively for not setting up channels to top-up.

This was amusing to Lu Wu. He had seen players who complained about spending too much money in- game but it was the first time for him to see players complaining of not being allowed to spend money

in-game.

Another group of protesters who protested were the assassin class players.

In their point of view, the assassin character class had become a low win rate character at the present stage. According to the players, they were so weak to the extent that they would rather become autistic.

The reason was very simple. The berserker was a positive and firm character and its single combat ability was originally strong. Assassins could never be the rival of berserkers unless their player was very skillful.

As for the mage character class, it was much tougher to be antagonized now that it was revamped with summoning and demonic skills. It was seen as the king of player killing in the wild. It was a prevailing character at the present stage. Mage players who had been belittled with low win rates were finally able to show off themselves.

At least berserkers still had the possibility to have a character enhancement. In contrast, the assassins had no ability to have single combat at all other than moving stealthily around and bringing instantaneous explosively high damage, which was upsetting to them.

Lu Wu could not do anything about this. After all, the development of the characters should be in the light of actual conditions and this fully depended on when Bei Li could come out with it.

However, Lu Wu’s question was soon settled by an online streamer.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

The streamer had been joking that he used to be an assassin in real life so he wanted to teach everyone some strong assassination skills on his channel.

The streamer attracted the attention of a lot of assassin players. Lu Yi also entered his live streaming channel due to curiosity.

The title of this assassin player’s live stream was: A Professional Assassin Teaching You How To Kill Reckless Berserkers and Vulnerable Mages on Solo, The Ultimate Application of Assassin Skills.

The live stream of the assassin was actually a practical tutorial. He kept looking for players from his enemy guild in the wild to assassinate them throughout the live stream.

Compared to the other assassins, his techniques were unique. Instead of fighting recklessly with the other berserker players, he utilized both the poison needles and close-quarter back-stabbing skills to deplete the berserkers’ energy while wandering around using Shadow Step.

Berserkers could not overtake assassins from the aspect of speed so the berserkers could do nothing other than chasing after the assassin upon depletion. If the berserker players chose to escape, the assassin would approach and give the berserkers a stab in the back. After the health of the berserkers was reduced, the assassin would flee from the berserkers again and continue to release poison needles remotely.

The technique he possessed had a high win rate in his live stream. Other than a few berserkers with strong fencing skills, he basically obtained victory in every round.

While antagonizing a mage, the assassin would give up on back-stabbing skills but apply the poison needle skill to consume the opponent’s health without giving the opponent a chance to get near him.

As for the mage’s Yin Corrosion skill, it was a wide range skill so its damage would be less severe than a single poison needle’s damage. Additionally, the assassin’s health was higher than a mage’s, so an assassin could deplete and kill the mage by wandering around using Shadow Step. It was not necessary for close quarters.

The streamer’s despicable methods had gone viral in the forum. Many assassin players started to learn his techniques for player killing in the wild.

However, a lot of assassin players realized that it was hard for them to throw the poison needles accurately during battles due to the extremely high degree of reality of the game. Therefore, a lot of players who liked killing other players started to study throwing skills meticulously.

This post had made more players realize the importance of skills.

Although a character’s strength was the first standard in the game, players with strong skills were absolutely capable to challenge other players of higher levels.

For example, there was a berserker player who was very popular in the forum known as QingFengMingYue.

This player was currently known as the best sword player in the game. It was reported that this player was a well-known master of fencing in real life.

Although he was only at Level 15, he once defeated five players of Level 20 which allied to attack him during a guild battle by relying on his skills and sword power. He became famous overnight and he was seen as a skillful player in the eyes of the berserker players.

The posts regarding skills were the popular posts in the online forum all along. Also, the appearance of skillful players enriched the diversity of the game.

The game made the players feel like they were in a different world rather than just a game.

The post of one of the players in the forum left a deep impression on Lu Wu.

This player was describing an incident that happened to him in real life.

One day, his girlfriend asked him, “Why are you always busy with this game after work? What’s so fun about it? Can’t we have a proper date?”

He answered, “You will never understand. I have another world here!”

Eventually, they broke up.

This sentence had induced an emotional stirring within Lu Wu. He felt that the development of the game had gone beyond his expectations.

However, the other players did not have the same emotional stirring as Lu Wu. All of them gave the same reply on that post,

“Bro, you deserve to be single!”
