Chapter 4

"Such a stunning figure, she's also watching Yun Piaopiao's live stream?" Chen Bing heard Yun Piaopiao's voice and his hand paused.

He had always found the chat messages distracting and had turned them off from the start.

In this game, he didn't know many people, and Juedai Fenghua was one of them, leaving a deep impression on him.

"Home" was said to have appeared four years ago, but at that time, it was only a small-scale beta test, and very few people could play it. It wasn't until two years ago that the game began to be limitedly open to the general public, and only a year ago could it be widely entered.

Chen Bing had only been playing "Home" for two months and was still considered a newbie.

A game name like Juedai Fenghua, even in a regular game, would have been registered early, but in "Home," it was still available, which Chen Bing found a bit strange.

However, what Chen Bing remembered most was Juedai Fenghua's demeanor.

One's appearance in the game could be adjusted, but one's demeanor could not.

Juedai Fenghua was not an ordinary young girl; when not in battle, she looked like a composed noble lady.

But once the battle began, her bloodthirsty and fierce figure left Chen Bing speechless.

Shaking his head, Chen Bing closed Yun Piaopiao's live stream.

...

In an ancient and elegant study, Juedai Fenghua, with her hair coiled, put down the quill pen in her hand. Her slender, fair fingers lightly tapped, closing Yun Piaopiao's live stream.

"Xiao Yan."

Juedai Fenghua contacted a female player named Sakura Zhanlan.

"Sister Fenghua, what's the matter? Is the parchment for copying not enough?"

In a dimly lit forest, a group of players were killing level 75 tree men to level up. The leader was a nimble and playful female rogue player, whose agile body, like a dance, avoided the tree men's tentacle attacks.

Receiving Juedai Fenghua's message, Sakura Zhanlan moved, jumping out of the tree men's attack range, and quickly replied.

Juedai Fenghua was striving for the Master level 'Copying' skill and wouldn't contact her for trivial matters.

"Take a group to the seventh level of the Shadow Mine and kill Lan Yuegongzi. Don't spare any of the dwarves."

Juedai Fenghua sent a screenshot of Yun Piaopiao's live stream to Sakura Zhanlan and said calmly.

"Wow, trying to snatch Sister Fenghua's Blessing of the Gods set! I'll bring good news, I'll go and take him down right away!"

Sakura Zhanlan replied with a grin.

...

"In the presence of the great witch Kajelia, there are no lies! Speak, young adventurer, what lie do you most want to eliminate!"

Chen Bing didn't know that a single piece of news from Yun Piaopiao could have so many implications. After closing the live stream, he straightforwardly used the special effect of the Replica of the Ring of True Lies.

The figure of the witch Kajelia appeared again, but it was clearly not her.

"My alchemy skill has reached the Master level!"

Chen Bing said solemnly.

His alchemy skill was only at the Grandmaster level, so reaching the Master level was a lie.

The Ring of True Lies could turn lies into reality, so his alchemy skill could directly upgrade from Grandmaster to Master!

"Understood, I will now help you eliminate this lie!"

Kajelia smiled slightly, waved her hand, and a deep blue magical light enveloped Chen Bing.

[System: You are blessed by a mysterious force, your alchemy skill has upgraded to the Master level!]

[System: You have five Master-level life skills, completing the achievement 'Grandmaster,' rewarded with the title 'Grandmaster'!]

[System: You are the first player to obtain the 'Grandmaster' title, rewarded with the legendary set 'Blessing of the Gods,' Home reputation +1!]

Several system prompts sounded in succession, and a golden light enveloped Chen Bing. His backpack now contained a complete set of ancient-looking armor.

"Haha, the Blessing of the Gods set is mine! Another point of Home reputation? What a great deal!"

After much effort, he finally obtained the 'Blessing of the Gods' set. Chen Bing looked at the legendary set in his backpack and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

[System Announcement: Congratulations to 'I Crave Bras' for becoming the first player to achieve the 'Grandmaster' achievement!]

As Chen Bing received the system reward, a system announcement echoed in the ears of all players in the game.

Most players in the game were newbies and looked puzzled, not knowing what was happening.

But some players who had prepared in advance were stunned.

Especially those still watching Yun Piaopiao's live stream, they were momentarily at a loss, even Yun Piaopiao herself, who momentarily forgot she was still streaming.

"Damn! Who is this guy?"

"First 'Grandmaster' achievement, so envious!"

"Hahaha, Lan Yuegongzi is doomed, I've been annoyed by him for a long time, now he's just a fool!"

"666! On purpose! This guy must have done it on purpose! Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental!"

"I Crave Bras? This name seems familiar!"

After a brief silence, Yun Piaopiao's live stream room was flooded with chat messages again.

This kind of face-slapping event was exactly what they, the onlookers, loved.

...

"I Crave Bras? That guy? How could it be him?"

In the study, Juedai Fenghua was about to instruct Sakura Zhanlan to be careful when the sudden system announcement made her pause.

Chen Bing had met Juedai Fenghua, and Juedai Fenghua had also met Chen Bing.

She felt the name was familiar, lowered her head to think, and then remembered Chen Bing.

But the reason she could remember Chen Bing was entirely because of his flashy game name.

...

"I Crave Bras! Damn! Where did this guy come from!"

In the seventh level of the Shadow Mine, upon hearing the system announcement, the playful smile on Lan Yuegongzi's face suddenly froze, and he became furious.

The news of his plan to achieve the Grandmaster achievement had just spread, and this guy had taken it first. In his view, Chen Bing was openly slapping his face!

Slapping his face was one thing, but being beaten to the Grandmaster achievement by Chen Bing meant that his long-term plan in the game was completely ruined!

All the grand plans and the excitement in the game were now just a dream!

"I Crave Bras, I will kill you!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lan Yuegongzi, disregarding his image, roared in anger. The dwarf miners around him looked at him as if he were a madman.

Suddenly shouting and scaring people was a sign of mental illness!

...

Chen Bing naturally didn't know he had been hated by Lan Yuegongzi, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He had long heard of the legendary set "Blessing of the Gods," and his attention was completely focused on the set.

He was just about to check the attributes of the set when another series of system prompts sounded.

[System: Alchemy skill proficiency increased by 99999999, alchemy skill upgraded to unknown level!]

[System: Mining skill proficiency increased by 99999999, mining skill upgraded to unknown level!]

[System: Appraisal skill proficiency increased by 99999999, appraisal skill upgraded to unknown level!]

...

"Damn! Not again? Stop it, please stop!"

Chen Bing looked strangely at the messages, and couldn't help but scream in agony.

What the hell! The highest level for life skills in this game is Master! His life skills' proficiency was already maxed out, what was this abnormal increase in proficiency, and what was this unknown level skill!

[System: Gathering skill proficiency increased by 99999999, gathering skill upgraded to unknown level!]

[System: Fishing skill proficiency increased by 99999999, fishing skill upgraded to unknown level!]

[System: ...]

"Damn, it's over, it's all over..."

Looking at the endless system prompts, Chen Bing was in despair.

[System Announcement: The game has encountered an unknown error, the game will end, and rewards will be settled in 10 seconds. Please prepare to log out.]

[System Announcement: The game has encountered an unknown error, the game will end, and rewards will be settled in 9 seconds. Please prepare to log out.]

[System Announcement: The game has encountered an unknown error, the game...]

"Damn! What's going on!"

"How did it happen again?"

"Several games have ended prematurely due to unknown errors in the past two months."

"The game is still in the testing phase, it seems that virtual game technology is not yet fully mature. But this is good, since there's no hope for this game, an early end means we can join the next game sooner."

The system announcement came too suddenly, and most players in the game were unprepared. Hearing that the game was ending, they were all stunned.

Staying longer wouldn't stop the game from ending, so players logged out one by one to avoid any losses.

"Could it be that the guy called 'I Crave Bras' found a bug, causing the game to end prematurely? Otherwise, this is too coincidental."

Before logging out, some players thought of Chen Bing.

Chen Bing had just achieved the Grandmaster achievement, and the game had a problem, so they couldn't help but speculate.

But "Home" had undergone two years of beta testing and had been officially running for two years, with no known bugs in four years, only occasional server instability.

It seems it was just a coincidence. The game ended prematurely, and the most tragic one would be the person who just obtained the "Blessing of the Gods" set, as the set's effects had no chance to be utilized.

(Seeing in the comments that some readers asked why the new book announcement wasn't posted in the old book, it's not that I didn't want to, but I just found out that the author of a completed book cannot perform any operations anymore.)
