Chapter 1030: Chapter 953: Gambling and Gossip!_1 Chapter 1030: Chapter 953: Gambling and Gossip!_1 Yi returned to base to experience the side quests and explorable content besides the main missions.
Victoria, however, had started doing this a few hours earlier than him.
Initially, she took the “sightseeing route”.
After being assigned to other players’ worlds by the System, there were indeed so exploratory contents, but they were all too casual, too everyday.
The overall progress of the world would not naturally advance but must depend on the “actor players” to push forward.
This was sowhat inconvenient.
Especially in the world Victoria matched into, the player she encountered was unhurried, repeating each echo instance.
...
[Los Angeles: K-DAY]
[Tokyo: Demon Witch]
[San Francisco: Invader]
[Sydney: Slicer]
[Vancouver: Karlov]
[Qiongzhou Island: Stranger]
[Hong Kong: Avengers]
…
Out of all these echo instances, Victoria-
Did not watch a single one.
If she were purely a casual gar, simply coming for “sightseeing” or “watching action flicks”, then indeed, she could have had a great ti.
Moreover, when others were piloting different types of chs, duking it out with all sorts of monsters and causing chaos akin to a landslide or earthquake, she could have freely flown around in the sky, choosing any angle she wanted to watch the spectacle.
A truly imrsive, thrilling experience.
But here’s the problem: Victoria is not a casual player.
She had only gotten this far because the ga had just launched, and she wanted to create so unique live-streaming content.
She was torn between showing her viewers the spectacle and not wanting to have the plot spoiled too much…
So naturally, an idea erged: why should I be watching others fight?
Why can’t I do it myself?
I’m not a pushover either!
Ɲ0νǥօ.сο
Victoria hesitated for a minute.
Then, without hesitation, she reset her progress and started playing on her own.
The casual players, who started out just watching for fun but couldn’t help themselves and decided to restart the ga, embarking on their journey to save the world, made up a significant proportion of the player base.
…
When Yi successfully completed the main missions and reached a critical point, Victoria imdiately received this information from her live-strear community.
Being a strear and trying not to get spoiled is indeed challenging.
Victoria’s first reaction, upon hearing a passionate viewer spoil Yi’s final battle, with paid-for conspicuous ssages delivered in eighteen segnts, was:
“My viewer, you’re really loaded!
Thanks for the tip!”
Then she started talking about Yi’s battle: “The nuclear bomb didn’t fully pass through the wormhole?
Does that an, when it’s my turn, if I delay the reactor ltdown, I could completely destroy the wormhole?”
“Wait, can’t you just co fully equipped, fight well, and use the nuclear bomb for destruction?
That way, we could save one more ch.”
“Are you implying that Yi’s skills are diocre?” The viewers started stir things up.
“No.” Victoria didn’t fall for it, instead she shook her head calmly, “I just think Yi is naturally inclined toward a Pyrrhic victory?”
“Didn’t you see him fight two Level 4 monsters in Hong Kong, resulting in mutual destruction?
Doesn’t that explain things?”
“?”
“??”
“???”
…
Her viewers churned out question marks.
Seeing a tide of question marks, Victoria was unaffected and continued confidently, “Believe it or not, I think there will be players who defeat the monster perfectly and successfully destroy the passageway without even waiting for to reach the final stage.”
She was full of faith in the absurdly skilled players in the virtual world.
Those are the people who can make things happen if there’s even a sliver of possibility.
Ever since she saw soone riding a unicycle perform an injury-free downhill ride on Dongming Mountain, she never had a doubt about this!
But her viewers clearly didn’t want to believe it:
“That’s a Level 5 monster and two Level 4 monsters, and even a Level 3 monster as backup!
2 against 4!
And it’s underwater, how is it possible?”
“Not doubting the skills of top players, but the ch is too bulky, plus the marine environnt, high resistance, and limited weaponry, it doesn’t seem feasible.”
“Whether it’s possible or not, Cloud Dream has to approve it!
There are obviously more important gaplays behind this, if you simply destroy the wormhole, what about the rest of the content?”
“I believe soone can do it, but I don’t think they could do it this quickly.
It will probably take at least a week, right?”
…
Seeing that many people didn’t believe, Victoria imdiately proposed a bet: “Want to bet?”
“Starting from now, within 24 hours, if soone clears it perfectly — with the wormhole destroyed and both chs preserved, you guys lose, and will have to each say a [Wow, Victoria is so aweso!] and do 10 push-ups on your own.”
“If no one succeeds, then I lose, and will do 100 push-ups!
Plus a handstand hair wash!”
“So, wanna gamble or not?”
Upon hearing this, the live-strear community readily agreed:
“Let’s bet!”
“Rember your words!”
“I’ll pay for your shampoo!”
…
“OK!
The bet is on!” Victoria loudly declared.
Then she imdiately started to use her connections — making a phone call!
“Let’s see if we can determine the win or loss in advance.”
“Beep-Beep-Beep-”
“Beep-Beep-Beep-”
“Hello?
Who’s it?” A drowsy voice responded.
The live-strear community were confused.
“…Boss Lin?”
There was silence on the other end.
anwhile, in the live broadcast room, chat ssages like “They have a thing” began to flood in.
“Victoria…” Lincoln’s helpless voice ca through the phone, “Do you know what the ti is?”
“Ah, this…” Victoria glanced at the ti and imdiately began to feel guilty, “Sorry, I got carried away with the ga and lost track of ti…”
“Sigh.” Lincoln sighed helplessly once again, “Just say it, what’s the matter?
Couldn’t possibly be that you’re calling in the middle of the night to report a bug, right?”
“Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to ask, is there a perfect ending to the ‘Destroy the Wormhole’ mission?”
“A perfect ending?” Lincoln repeated the phrase, “That depends on your definition of perfect.”
“Eh?” Victoria paused, “Like, completely destroying the wormhole while keeping all chs alive.”
“Well… I’m not sure if anyone else has done it, but it might be harder for you…” Lincoln glanced at Mavis rubbing her eyes as she woke up, her pouting face clearly unhappy.
He was certain Victoria’s luck wouldn’t be too good over the next few days.
“Ah?
Sorry!” Victoria imdiately apologized, “I didn’t an to disturb your rest!”
She thought Lincoln was holding a grudge against her.
“Sigh, I’ll try to coax her on your behalf.” After Lincoln finished, he hung up the phone, squinted and rubbed Mavis’s head, then lied down to sleep again.
Leaving Victoria and the millions in the live broadcast room staring at each other.
“She?
Soone’s with Lincoln?”
“Wow!
This is breaking news!”
“Victoria, good job!
Even scooping a big news like Lincoln’s love life!”
“Victoria, it’s okay to cry if you’re upset.
We won’t laugh at you.”
“Wait!
How do you guys know it’s a woman?
Why can’t it be a man?!”
“You’re saying Lincoln likes n?
You’re really not afraid of getting your account deleted by him, huh?”
…
A bizarre gossip swiftly brewed in Victoria’s live-streaming session.
The live-strear community started speculating outrageous stories and swiftly spread this piece of gossip out.
— Not just on the Chinese internet, it spread throughout the global internet too!
The popularity of Lincoln’s gossip was a no-brainer!
As Victoria watched the quickly escalating situation, for a mont she felt like being struck by lightning—
“I just wanted to ask the ga developer for a walkthrough!”
“Don’t spout nonsense!
What spy information did I get?
He clearly blabbed because he was half-asleep!”
“Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors!”
“No clipping of footage!
Anyone who recorded it, delete it now!”
…
Victoria had no ti to call for gaming experts to complete the ‘Perfect Ending’, as she tried her hardest to control the situation and recover from the blow.
But all her efforts seed to be in vain…
The possible love affair of Lincoln hadn’t saddened Victoria at all.
But the fact that “she caused Lincoln’s secretive affair to be accidentally exposed” made Victoria want to cry badly on the spot.
A total innocent calamity indeed!!
