The Boss Behind The Game

Reinhardt hastened to assure that he would complete the mission as he listened to his advice. Soon after he turned around, left the village chief’s house and ran toward the outside world.

While he was running, again he recalled the inheritance post in the forum shared by that professional player.

In the description of that post, there were six rounds of missions in the Dark Knight Trial. Other than the first round of monster killing, there were subsequent trials on stuff such as item hunting and so on.

Reinhardt could still remember the process of these missions clearly. In fact, the first round was the hardest for him. There were too many players at the current stage after all. These wandering souls without takers at the later stage were never easy to be found initially. That explained his hasty behavior as he ran outside.

At the same time, the reason that he chose the Knight character class was because that Dark Knight player was a Knight in his previous life, too. Thus, he chose the Knight as his beginning character class just to be on the safe side. This was to prevent the situation of the failure in triggering the missions for non-knight character classes.

During the early stage, a person’s power was undoubtedly finite. It would be rather impossible for him to fight on his own, especially for the marsh crocodiles in the first round. With that, he opened his friend list immediately and sent a friend request to McCray.

After adding each other as friends, both of them made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the village. Shortly after Reinhardt had gathered some players nearby, the crowd headed to the Hidden Dragon Marsh under Reinhardt’s lead.

Three hours later…

Everyone no longer looked at him the same way they used to when they saw the marsh crocodiles that had fallen into Reinhardt’s trap again.

“How did you do that? Since when did you know how to set up traps? Moreover, you know how to lure the marsh crocodiles as well! Also, why would you have such a skilled battling style?”

Looking at the totally different Reinhardt, his buddy McCray could no longer stand it and asked eventually.

His words made Reinhardt smile confidently.

Of course, he would not say that he was once a poor player and could not even team up with anyone. Therefore, he ended up learning this trap-based attacking approach from the forum. It was the experience gained from innumerable times of practice.

As for McCray’s so-called skilled battling style, it took him two years of hard work to master it.

…

Following that, their monster-killing efficiency was highly increased with Reinhardt’s command on top of the simultaneous attacks of the team.

Soon, Reinhardt was acknowledged as a professional player on the team. Some even asked him whether he intended to establish a guild for they wanted to follow him.

This made Reinhardt feel rather pleased. Looking back at the past where he had been struggling at the bottom, he got a sudden feeling of rising from the ashes.

“I can teach you guys the trap-based attacking approach as well as the secret to practice battling style. However, you have to teach others whatever you’ve learned. After all, our future rivals are going to be intimidated with these so-called cheats. Just a powerful person alone can do them no harm. For this reason, we, the Army of Deity Xu have to develop ourselves in an all-round way. Forget about the establishment of a guild, but we can still team up and kill monsters,” Reinhardt had no choice but to say so as he looked at those eager faces.

“A powerful rival? Do you mean the Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals nearby?” McCray asked curiously.

“No. They are worse. It is the Beiqi Army that belongs to the Fourth Disaster Faction, just like us. They are publicly known as the first army of the entire server in the future. Not only that, people have even dubbed them The Exclusive Hacking Zone!”

“You mean the original server that was launched three months earlier than us?” McCray asked curiously.

“That’s right!”

“How do you know about this? I’ve been hanging out with you almost every day and I’ve never seen you paying attention to this game,” McCray was shocked.

“I dreamed of it!” Reinhardt tried to act cool by blowing his hair as he spoke.
