The entire Chinese region's hero forum was in an uproar. Deceiving people, player-killing (PK), and looting were nothing new, but when these actions were performed in front of millions of TV viewers, it became a major scandal. It was a disgrace that would be broadcast as a laughingstock in many countries around the world. One could already imagine how many countries' peers would use this segment as a joke.
While the public was in an uproar, how should Blood Sea Rampage, the mastermind behind the scenes, respond? In theory, it was the merchants' own greed and foolishness that led to their deception, and they deserved it. Especially the act of delivering goods to the enemy was something Blood Sea Rampage could not tolerate! However, if they did not show any reaction, what would the Blood Sea Rampage's bounty be worth? What about the studio's credibility?
Fortunately, there was no loss of life. After a brief discussion, the management of the Blood Sea Rampage studio decided to compensate the merchants with cash based on the value of the lost goods, at least to soothe their wounded hearts. The deceived merchants also posted a call on the forum, declaring that no one should resell the purchase orders to Garbage Big Fei, making it impossible for him to transport much cargo even with a large ship. The response was overwhelming, with countless replies and support.
For Blood Sea Rampage, the true goal was achieved. Big Fei had become the shame of the entire Chinese region, a true public enemy. How long could he last? Trying to compete with me? Ha! I'll crush you!
...
Now, the large ship carrying 800 units of goods worth 40,000 gold coins was about to dock. Several dragon eagle knights in golden armor descended from the sky.
—"We suspect you of illegal activities. We will seize your ship and restrict your movements. Please come with us for an investigation."
These were the legendary city management officers with their mysterious combat power. You might think that once you reach a high level, you can easily defeat them, but when you actually reach level 100, you will humbly realize that the closer you get to god, the more you feel your own insignificance.
As a red-named player who was relentlessly pursued, Big Fei felt a sense of belonging when he encountered them! A feeling of relief washed over him: "I am willing to accept the investigation!"
A white light flashed, and the scene changed. Big Fei appeared in a solemn black hall. On the central platform, a black-robed NPC named "The Arbiter" struck a gavel, his authoritative voice echoing through the hall: "Do you know your crimes?"
—System Notice: As a red-named player, you will face the following judgments. You can choose to accept one of the penalties.
1. Confession in the church. The confession time is based on your online time, during which you cannot leave the church. Confession real-time (7 days 3 hours 21 minutes).
2. Forced labor. The labor is based on the value you create, during which you cannot move freely.
3. Fine for bail. You can be bailed out by paying enough gold coins or equivalent items.
There was nothing to say. What was the point of deceiving so many goods?
Big Fei nodded: "I know my crimes, and I will reform. I am willing to hand over my goods to atone for my sins."
The judge was satisfied: "Money cannot cleanse your sins, but it can give you a chance to reform. You must cherish the forgiveness of the gods and behave well, and live a new life!"
—System Notice: You have handed over 235 units of goods worth 12,310 gold coins and gained the right to bail. You have become a yellow-named player.
—Yellow Name: You have the same citizen rights as white-named players and are protected by the law, but your reputation is still negative. You must accumulate your reputation or donate to the church to completely cleanse your name.
The scene changed again, and Big Fei appeared at the dock. Looking at the blue sky, flying seabirds, bustling crowds, and busy docks, Big Fei finally felt a sense of belonging to the civilized society. He let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, he was safe. The feeling of mental ease was so beautiful!
Now, of course, it was time to go on board and see his beloved.
As expected, his beloved greeted him with a warm embrace: "Captain, it's great that you came out so quickly!"
Ah~ Enjoying the compression of her chest, Big Fei caressed her back and laughed: "Who am I? They can't keep me! Hahaha!"
Katerina laughed: "Exactly, if the captain doesn't come out in a day, I can't leave the ship, and I'll be suffocated."
Big Fei laughed: "Let's go to the Maritime Association to get the sailing permit, then sell the goods. When we make money, the first thing I'll do is buy you beautiful clothes."
Katerina laughed: "Now, funds are tight, so don't rush to buy clothes. We were seized 235 units of goods, and the remaining goods are partly produced in this port, which can only be sold at 70% of the purchase price. Some are from nearby ports, which can make a small profit. I estimate we can sell for about 30,000 gold coins. After repairing the ship, we will have about 20,000 gold coins left, which is enough to pay the deposit for the merchant guild's transportation mission."
Who says she is a gold-digger? She is a frugal and capable assistant!
Big Fei sighed: "Good, let's do it your way!" I guess the anger of the players was stirred up by the deception of so many merchants. It's unlikely that we can get purchase orders from players anymore, so we can only take the long-distance transportation missions from the merchant guild.
Now, Big Fei, the yellow-named player, walked down the street with Katerina, attracting the attention of countless players. The city channel was in an uproar.
"Garbage deceiver Big Fei has appeared!"
"The scumbag used the stolen goods to wash his red name!"
"Don't sell purchase orders to this scumbag! Let him have a large ship but no cargo!"
...
Big Fei was deeply moved. How many years had it been since he heard such enthusiastic shouts? That was his lost youth, his long-lost passion, his blood-boiling, unregretful era!
A group of players blocked Big Fei's path, led by a player named Sky-Shaking Cannon. These players glared at Big Fei with hatred and stared at the seductive Katerina with greedy eyes.
Big Fei looked down at the dwarf in front of him and sighed: "Excuse me, blocking the road is illegal. Everyone should be a law-abiding player!"
—Ah! The crowd erupted. Sky-Shaking Cannon pointed at Big Fei and threatened: "We'll see what happens next! Don't let us catch you!"
Who is this guy? Big Fei shook his head and pushed through the crowd, leaving a trail of curses behind.
Then they went to the Maritime Association to get a sailing permit. The location for obtaining the permit was very important. If obtained in Ailuolin, one could buy more goods in the city, which is why many players from other countries traveled thousands of miles to Ailuolin. Of course, foreign players could not buy as much as local players, but they had their own advantages.
After obtaining the sailing permit, they went to the exchange to sell the goods. Although only half of the purchase orders remained, this was Big Fei's first pot of gold. Hahaha!
A player sat dejectedly at the entrance of the exchange, One Sword West. Amidst the curses, he looked up and saw Big Fei approaching, his expression complex.
Big Fei shook his head, stepped forward, and patted his shoulder: "Brother, you've suffered!"
The surrounding players cursed: "See, they are definitely a gang!"
One Sword West slapped Big Fei's hand away and roared: "He is a deceiver, and I am not in his gang!"
Big Fei sighed: "Life is like the waves of the sea, sometimes high, sometimes low. Only by striving can one win..."
One Sword West said bitterly: "Easy to say! My capital is gone, my boss thinks I'm a deceiver and won't compensate me, and my reputation is ruined. I can't go on."
Oh, the key is that the boss didn't pay? Big Fei sighed: "Then what?"
One Sword West stared into Big Fei's eyes and said solemnly: "I have one last request! I want to challenge you in the arena!"
Arena battles do not result in death or any loss.
Big Fei said: "So, you had plans to attack me then?"
One Sword West said solemnly: "Yes!"
Big Fei shook his head: "You didn't have a chance."
One Sword West gritted his teeth: "It doesn't matter whether there is a chance or not!"
Big Fei sighed: "Alright, in return for your help, I'll let you have your way."
Amidst the curses of the players, the two arrived at the city arena.
Big Fei sighed: "Let's make it a public match."
One Sword West shouted: "I want to settle this with the deceiver Big Fei in the arena! Anyone interested can come and watch!"
The players cursed: "Another show, why not PK in the wild?"
One Sword West's expression became even more bitter. Even so, when the two entered the arena, dozens of players came to watch.
Facing Big Fei and his secondary hero, One Sword West said resolutely: "Let's start!"
Big Fei squatted on the ground and shook his head: "Wait a bit."
"Wait for what?"
Big Fei remained silent. Of course, he was waiting for more spectators. There must be a few who would believe you. If no one believes you, you might as well join me. I see you as a loyal but treacherous person, a capable person, much better than that Da Wei. I care about you, but you don't understand.
Gradually, hundreds of people came to the arena, and the crowd was noisy. It was enough.
Big Fei, still squatting, said calmly: "Let's start."
The dual swords were drawn, and One Sword West, who had been waiting, rushed forward.
Katerina charged to meet him!
The crowd fell silent instantly. This was the second-best female hero in the game, and the players were eagerly awaiting her performance! Although they didn't expect much from the level 20 One Sword West, they wanted to see how big the gap was!
Blood and white light intertwined!
—System Notice: Your secondary hero Katerina dealt 46 points of damage to One Sword West and paralyzed him, interrupting his action!
The crowd erupted!
The second blood light appeared!
—System Notice: Your secondary hero Katerina dealt 14 points of damage to One Sword West and defeated him!
The crowd fell silent.
Big Fei sighed: "If this were at sea, you would have been killed by the first strike. I don't know what special skills you have, maybe a one-hit kill scroll, but you really didn't have a chance."
At this moment, One Sword West, lying on the ground, slowly sat up, his face pale and his body trembling. His dream had ended in a nightmare!
After a brief silence, the crowd booed.
One Sword West looked around and, with his last strength, shouted: "I, One Sword West, did not deceive anyone. To prove my innocence, I will log off and delete my account!"
Amidst the uproar, One Sword West logged off and disappeared!
What the hell? He really deleted his account? Big Fei couldn't help but sigh. What's the point of deleting your account? You are just a small player, and your innocence is worth nothing. Do you think you can touch the hearts of the masses and make someone shed a tear for you?
No matter what, I have cured a young internet addict. What the hell, I am a professional player, and if I cure all the patients, what will I eat?
