Chapter 111: Lin Bai Must Die

~10 min read 1,958 words

Although the live stream did not end, the fact that several Disciples of the Blood Shadow sect carried their senior brother away in a sorry state meant that the subsequent journey had entered garbage time.

Except for some viewers interested in the scenery of the otherworld, a large number of viewers exited the live stream and flooded into the forums.

The forum for the Xianxia World once again sparked a storm over the issue of Lin Bai.

Fine!

Every live stream related to Lin Bai would cause a sensation.

But this time was the most intense.

In just a few minutes, a hot post was born: "Strongly demand the game officials nerf Lin Bai; his existence is the greatest unfairness to other players in the novice villages."

The content of the post detailed Lin Bai's power:

While others were still struggling to level up, Beggar Sect Disciples could already enjoy high-level Martial Art.

Lin Bai's combat power even completely surpassed other NPCs.

The most critical point was that Lin Bai would personally enter the fray to fight other NPCs, while other players couldn't even mobilize their own masters.

If this continues, the Beggar Sect will inevitably dominate, and the game has lost the fun of competition.

In the post, a thousand-story thread even rose up, saying, "If Lin Bai isn't nerfed, I'm quitting the game."

The second hot post that was pushed to the top was about advertisements.

More people believed that allowing real-world advertisements to directly participate in the game seriously affected the gaming experience.

It made a perfectly good Xianxia World lose its flavor.

Below the post was a chorus of accusations against the game officials, as well as more voices boycotting Mu Ming Milk;

The third hot post was a discussion aimed at Lin Bai's "Damn it" bug, but the heat was clearly not very high; after all, most people now didn't even have a game account and couldn't reach Lin Bai at all, so discussing this was meaningless to them.

They were more concerned about the public beta time and the issue of game balance.

No player wanted to see a game produced so exquisitely eventually ruined by balance issues and pervasive advertisements...

But strangely.

Despite the public indignation, Lin Bai's existence had already angered all the players.

The game officials only perfunctorily released an announcement stating "existence is reasonable" and then had nothing more to say, with no intention of following public opinion to nerf Lin Bai or cancel the advertisements.

Then.

This post exploded again.

The gaming god Gelige took the lead in issuing the initiative: "The game can be lost, but Lin Bai must die."

In the initiative.

Gelige requested other novice village players to grow as quickly as possible, and once their levels were high enough, to unite at the first opportunity to kill Lin Bai and boycott the Beggar Sect.

Since the game is unfair, then the players will create fairness.

An NPC's life only happens once; as long as Lin Bai is killed, the game will naturally return to a normal ecology.

Absolutely cannot let such an exquisite game be ruined by one Lin Bai.

The initiative was met with a swarm of followers.

Do not worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

Clearly, the lone standout Lin Bai and his Beggar Sect had already aroused public anger.

So I've been discovered!

Having heard the players' conversation openly and honestly, Lin Bai sighed; he had long been mentally prepared for the exposure of the Palm Thunder incantation.

After all.

The connection between the incantation and Palm Thunder was too obvious.

If it were just in the game, players might not necessarily have discovered it; after all, very few players faced Lin Bai directly at the same time.

But with the live stream turned on, there was no telling how many viewers there were, and you never knew where these viewers' focus would be.

Having been live-streamed so many times, it was normal to be discovered by sharp-eyed viewers.

This couldn't be blamed on the players; the one who screwed him over was the Great Language System.

However.

The result made Lin Bai very satisfied; this group of players who relied on him for their livelihood had already begun to consciously protect him.

Actually.

After activating the Craftsman God System, Lin Bai had already thought of a solution.

It was nothing more than making a large-sized battery-type Dharma Treasure; if a player really used a bug to farm him, he could shock people when he wanted to shock them, and store the electricity when he didn't want to, saving himself from having to recite the incantation.

The Craftsman God System had been pushing him to overcome attribute-based Dharma Treasures.

As long as he kept grinding the tasks, he would eventually find a way to craft a lightning-attribute Dharma Treasure.

As for the consumption, Lin Bai really didn't take it to heart; when he had forty-plus years of Internal Energy, the energy consumed by one "Damn it" was replenished in an instant.

Moreover, he now possessed over a hundred years of Internal Energy, and he couldn't exhaust himself even if he relied purely on "Damn it" to tire the players to death.

After all.

Internal Energy would recover on its own following the Nine Suns True Scripture.

Although the Nine Suns True Scripture was an incomplete copy, it was endless and inexhaustible, and recovering Internal Energy was not slow.

Unless ten thousand players could really gather at once to voice-control him.

But with over seventy novice villages, gathering tens of thousands of players to find him and farm "Damn it" was easier said than done.

By the time that actually happened, who knew how many trump cards he would have already come up with.

Besides.

Perhaps he would have even refined pills for mana replenishment by then.

……

Jiang Qingqin stared blankly at the spot where the Blood Shadow Sect's senior brother had met his end, her throat feeling somewhat parched.

Too brutal!

She could now be one hundred percent certain that Lin Bai had truly been practicing his arts that night.

And.

He truly held no malice toward her.

Otherwise, if Lin Bai had used even one or two of the methods he used to deal with the seven Blood Shadow Sect brothers on her, she would have been in for a world of trouble...

Although it is said that Martial Dao experts can suppress cultivators below the Golden Core realm, it was never said that one person could suppress a whole group.

Jiang Qingqin was certain that even without her, the seven Blood Shadow Sect brothers would not have fared well under Lin Bai's hands.

Lin Bai's performance in the battle was too terrifying; he simply used every means at his disposal, striking and retreating instantly, so the few members of the Blood Shadow Sect were unable to form a pincer attack against him.

When fighting the Blood Shadow Sect, the most feared thing is being entangled by them; the blood aura lingering around them has a dizzying effect, and once entangled, the longer the fight lasts, the weaker one's movements become...

What Jiang Qingqin found most unacceptable was that Lin Bai still had at least two trump cards he hadn't used: Palm Thunder and that movement technique of his that was as swift as lightning...

Clearly, Lin Bai looked about the same age as her, and she was already the pride of her sect, having touched the threshold of the Golden Core realm at just over twenty years old.

Yet compared to Lin Bai, she was nothing but scum.

Ten of her tied together would not be a match for Lin Bai; Jiang Qingqin even felt that even after she forged her Golden Core, she might not necessarily be able to beat the current Lin Bai.

At this moment.

Jiang Qingqin became increasingly curious about the Justice Sect behind Lin Bai; she did not know what kind of sect could train such a freak...

"Are you hurt?" Lin Bai arrived before Jiang Qingqin and asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Jiang Qingqin snapped back to reality and shook her head like a rattle-drum. She hurriedly fished a bottle of pills from her bosom, poured one out, shoved it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. "I have my own healing pills."

Lin Bai looked at Jiang Qingqin and chuckled. He pulled an arrow from his quiver and said teasingly, "I was actually prepared to stick you with an arrow. This is a top-quality Rejuvenation Pill of mine; it has miraculous effects for treating internal injuries. Don't look at Lishan spurting blood all over; he might not necessarily die yet."

"..." Recalling Lishan's miserable state, Jiang Qingqin's expression changed slightly, and she laughed dryly, "Really, no need. My pills are quite good too."

"Really no need?" Lin Bai reached out and pointed at her shoulder. "Your shoulder is bleeding. I have External Rejuvenation Pill here for external wounds."

"Is it bleeding?" Jiang Qingqin patted her shoulder, pulled her clothes up to cover the wound, and forced a smile while enduring the pain. "It's just a scratch, it's nothing. Just endure it and it will pass."

Fresh blood instantly seeped out from under her green robes again. Lin Bai shook his head, picked an External Rejuvenation Pill off an arrow, and handed it over: "Stop holding on. This is an external pill; it won't do anything if you don't ingest it. When have I ever scammed a friend?"

You've been scamming me ever since the people from the Blood Shadow Sect appeared, Jiang Qingqin snorted, took the pill, and then, as if remembering something, asked: "You put the external pills on your arrows?"

"The effect if eaten is diarrhea." Lin Bai smiled. "Whenever you want to lose weight, you can come to me for two pills; it's instantly effective."

"No need." Jiang Qingqin immediately understood the reason why Lishan had ended up so miserable. Her expression changed repeatedly, and under Lin Bai's encouraging gaze, she gritted her teeth, crushed the pill, and sprinkled it onto her wound.

The bleeding stopped immediately. She gave a soft 'oh': "The effect is this good?"

"Of course, I told you I wouldn't lie to you. Since coming down the mountain, I've only made two true friends: one is Xu Longyun, and the other is you. You are different from Xu Longyun; I even told you sweet nothings all night long." Lin Bai laughed.

"..." Jiang Qingqin's face turned red in an instant, and the sense of alienation caused by Lin Bai's bloody and cruel methods vanished instantly.

Lin Bai gestured to the Beggar Sect Disciple and vaulted onto his horse: "Let's go. It's highly probable that no one will dare to block the road anymore. I really didn't expect the people from the Blood Shadow Sect to be so weak!"

It's clearly that you are too strong!

Jiang Qingqin glanced at Lin Bai and flew onto her horse's back: "Brother Lin, there is something I have been very curious about!"

"What?" Having verified his own martial prowess, Lin Bai's mood was exceptionally relaxed. In this Xianxia World, he finally had the capital to settle down. Although he had offended the Blood Shadow Sect, who doesn't have one or two enemies while living in the Xianxia World?

"How did you know the names of those people from the Blood Shadow Sect?" Jiang Qingqin asked. "Didn't you say you had never been down the mountain?"

"I have also learned a little bit of the physiognomy arts of the Justice Sect." Lin Bai smiled. "Although I cannot perform a Divination on their fates, guessing a name is still possible..."
