I don’t know if I really did anything special to receive that ’honor,’ but I’ll take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I think the Red Team was more impressive for being able to hold down Blue Team for all that time. It must’ve not been easy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for his team to return, he checked his inventory and saw that it was very full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The items that he got from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors weren’t really good, as some weapons he received were worse than the ones he already had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t any skill scrolls either, and he had some strange items instead, so he decided to sell them at a later date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Team Leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, a shout came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited-looking Red Team came running over from the forest, and Nathan immediately just embraced Fang Raon, very much to his surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are fucking great! Your plan worked, and we won! How the hell did we win?! I can’t believe it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathan excitedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the Red Team also seemed as excited as he was, and Fang Raon still kept his calm and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job... The victory was all you, though. I just kept Machary a little busy while you guys did the most important part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not true! You keeping Machary busy is the only reason we won! That’s why we all agree that you are the ’MVP’ of the King of the Hill, easily!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else also agreed, and without him knowing it yet, even Miranda’s chat wholeheartedly believed that he was the best player today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree with your team, Fang Raon. No need to stay humble. You saved your team from a certain defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Miranda walked over with the camera hovering around her, but it wasn’t broadcasting anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already said \"goodbyes\" to her chat and ended the stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you say so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon stood up, stretched his arms above his head, and asked, \"Are we leaving now?\" But Miranda’s expression showed that they weren’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately we missed our boat, but it will come back tomorrow, so we will have to spend the night here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon nodded as he really didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just log off for the night and get back tomorrow morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while, the Blue Team came walking over from the other side of the island, and they had defeated looks on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A moment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miranda said to the Red Team and went to talk to the Blue Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She talked to them about how they did well and how they should be proud of how they performed, but she then also criticized Machary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a surprise to many as he was the only one whose performance didn’t satisfy Miranda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary just stayed silent during her rant and didn’t speak a word, but even he was ashamed at his own performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...I am so weak... I will crush you one day...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary stared at Fang Raon, who didn’t look back and instead fiddled with something on his system interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Fang Raon realizing, he actually got an extremely tough rival today—Machary—who got a new reason to get even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you plan on still staying on, you can hang around in the cottage, and I can put up a fire in the fireplace, so it won’t be cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miranda said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players were happy about that, and they entered the cozy cottage. It had a spacious living room with a fireplace, a corner-tucked kitchen, and a wooden ladder leading to a loft bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the fact that they were all fighting all day, Blue Team and Red Team quickly got along once they entered the cozy cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started chatting and laughing as they settled inside the cottage, and Miranda turned on the fire in the fireplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary just sat down on the corner, crossed his arms like a pouting child, and kept staring at Fang Raon like he wanted to tear him apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be off for tonight, Miss Miranda.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Miss Miranda? You finally found some sense in that thick head of yours to talk to me with respect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miranda said with a scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t get used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon pulled out his system interface and pressed \"log off,\" and after he was gone, Miranda was almost exploding in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That stupid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stomped her feet on the wooden floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Fang Raon was gone, Machary didn’t think he had any reason to stay either and thus logged off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mhm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon mumbled and then opened his eyes and looked around himself and saw the glass lid above him and the many buttons of the Virtual Reality Pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept blinking his eyes and was about to call for Chaewon, but then he completely froze as he realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could... see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Am I still in the game? No... I am definitely inside the Virtual Reality Pod... What the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s heart started beating rapidly, and it almost burst through his chest, and he kept blinking his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Don’t be a dream... don’t be a dream... don’t be a dream...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then opened his eyes, kept them open, and almost stared a hole in the glass lid, and even after three minutes, he could still see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I-I am not anymore blind? I can see?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon released a couple of teardrops and then closed his eyes again and opened them one more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Black Online is your cure...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That message in the letter came back to him, and for the first time since his childhood, he could see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon, with excitement, tried moving his legs and arms, but his excitement dropped slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t move still, so why the hell can I suddenly see? Does this mean I am getting better or worse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What happened that caused this to happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nothing, except... I leveled up in the game? How would that help me to see again? I also added new stat points, and I put quite a lot to Vitality, but how would that...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon was full of questions, but in that moment, the door opened, and he heard soft footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Chaewon...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","8da9d8ba2501e3c9055b39ab17cccfed5239d1d46a227fb2d966bd25e917d955","black-online-chapter-53","black-online-chapter-51",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
