You Deserve to be Single

After confirming that Lu Wu was a descendant of the King of Beiqi, and considering Lu Wu's own mysterious strength and possible mastery of the laws of reincarnation, the Soul Ferrying Envoy, after much internal struggle, chose to pledge allegiance.

However, Lu Wu did not allow him to stay, but instead sent him back to Cha Na's side, planting a seed of trouble near him.

Following the staircase paved with bones, the Soul Ferrying Envoy arrived beside the Skeletal Throne and slowly lowered his head:

"Lord Cha Na, I have returned from my investigation."

"Why did Third Ghost die?" The figure on the throne slowly spoke.

The Soul Ferrying Envoy reached out from his black robe and presented a withered tree branch.

"A tree demon? The Rock Ghost King! It really is him!" The voice from the throne sounded extremely angry.

"Is the Northern Region not enough for him? He even wants to lay his hands on my Liuli. Does he really think Cha Na is so easily bullied that anyone dares to offend me!"

"Lord Cha Na, how should this matter be handled?" The Soul Ferrying Envoy asked, bowing his head.

Cha Na was silent for a long while before speaking again, "Let's not deal with it for now. I still need to break through to the Ghost King Realm!"

The Soul Ferrying Envoy nodded and was about to retreat when Cha Na spoke again:

"Oh right, take a trip to the Underworld Sea and tell the Sea King that I agree to his suggestion."

Hearing this, the Soul Ferrying Envoy bowed to Cha Na, "Understood!" and then slowly retreated.

After the Soul Ferrying Envoy pledged allegiance, Lu Wu and Bei Li laughed heartily in the bedroom.

Neither of them had expected to so easily win over this troublesome fellow, and the fact that he was actually preparing to trip up Cha Na the Ghost General delighted Lu Wu and Bei Li.

During this time, the player factions had also developed rapidly. Due to the rapid spread of Battle Online's reputation, many powerful game guilds had also moved in.

The arrival of these guild players made the game even more exciting.

Where there are people, there is strife. It was only natural for friction to arise between players, and open-world PK was the most popular activity besides leveling up.

It was common for small disputes between individual players to escalate into large-scale battles between two guilds.

The development of the entire player base was positive and upward-trending. All players wanted to increase their strength and frequently collectively denounced the official website, demanding why a recharge channel had not yet been released.

Lu Wu found this somewhat amusing. He had seen players scold games for being overly pay-to-win, but being scolded for not allowing them to spend money was a first.

Another collective protest to the official website came from the Assassin players.

In their opinion, Assassin players had become a trash-tier class in the current stage of the game. According to the players, they were being abused to the point of almost becoming autistic.

The reason was simple: the Berserker was a class that specialized in head-on confrontation, and their dueling ability was inherently strong. Unless an Assassin possessed very strong skills, they were simply no match.

And the Mage class was even harder to fight. Mages who now possessed summoning and evil-intent skills were the kings of PK in the wild and were currently known as the favored children of the game, allowing a group of long-suffering trash-tier Mage players to show off to their heart's content.

But at least the Berserkers still had the expectation of class advancement, while the Assassins, apart from stealth and burst damage, didn't even have a decent dueling ability, which made them extremely frustrated.

Lu Wu was helpless about this. After all, class development had to be based on reality, and it still depended on when the omnipotent little loli could figure it out.

However, Lu Wu's problem was quickly solved by a streamer.

This streamer had jokingly said in his stream that he used to be a real-life assassin and wanted to teach everyone some extremely powerful assassination techniques.

This attracted the attention of a large number of Assassin players, and Lu Wu also curiously entered his stream.

The Assassin player's stream title was: [Professional Hitman, Teaching You How to Solo Kill Brute Berserkers and Squishy Mages in the Wild: The Ultimate Application of Skills]

The hitman's stream was a practical tutorial. In the stream, he constantly searched for players from enemy guilds in the wild to assassinate.

Unlike other Assassins, his technique was very unique. He didn't fight Berserker players head-on at all, but instead used the Poison Needle and Melee Backstab skills to wear them down, using Shadow Step to move around.

The Berserker simply couldn't keep up with the Assassin's speed. When being worn down, they couldn't do anything but chase after him, and when the Berserker player chose to run away, the hitman would approach again and land a backstab, inflicting a bleed effect on the Berserker before running away again and continuing to release Poison Needles from a distance.

This playstyle had a very high win rate in his stream. Except for a few Berserkers with extremely strong sword skills, he basically won every time.

When fighting Mages, the Assassin directly abandoned the Backstab skill and instead used Poison Needles to wear them down, never giving the Yin Soldiers a chance to get close.

As for the Mage's Yin Turbidity Erosion skill, because it was a large-area damage skill, its power was still less than the single-target damage of the Poison Needle. In addition, the Assassin's health was higher than the Mage's, so they could completely rely on Shadow Step to kite the Mage to death without needing to get close.

The assassin's underhanded playstyle quickly became popular on the forum, and a large number of assassin players began to learn his techniques for PK in the wild.

However, due to the extremely high level of realism, many assassin players found that Poison Needles often missed in actual combat, which led assassin players who liked PK to study throwing skills.

This post also made more players understand the importance of skills.

In this game, strength is certainly the primary standard, but those with strong skills have the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.

For example, the Berserker player "QingFengMingYue" is very popular on the forum!

This player is known as the number one SwordSkill_Master at this stage of the game. It is said that this person is also a SwordSkill_Master in reality and is very famous.

His level is only 15, but in a guild war, he relied on his footwork and swordsmanship to defeat the joint attack of five players above level 20. It can be said that he became famous in one fell swoop and became a high-level player in the eyes of Berserkers.

Technical posts are always popular posts on the Battle Online forum, and the emergence of various high-level players enriches the diversity of the game.

And this game gives players the feeling of another world, not just a game.

One of the players' posts on the forum impressed Lu Wu deeply.

This player described an event in his life.

One day, that player's girlfriend asked him, why do you play games every time you get off work? What's so fun about that broken game? Can't we have a good relationship?

The player replied: "You don't understand, I have one more world than you!"

In the end, they broke up.

But Lu Wu had a lot of feelings about this sentence, and felt that the development of the game really exceeded his expectations.

However, other players did not have Lu Wu's feelings, and uniformly replied below:

"Brother, you deserve to be single!"
