Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

Wang Xing looked at the monsters that were slowly spawning around him, then found a large rock and sat down on it.

"Let's just AFK here for today. We'll stop when we've collected the full set of Rock accessories!"

After ordering the Night Raven and other summoned beasts to attack freely, Wang Xing sat cross-legged on the boulder, opened the game's official website, and checked what was happening in the game, as well as information about secondary professions.

Open the game forum, and a post is pinned high at the top of the forum, with a popularity of over 10.

[Shocking! What is the true identity of the so-called gaming god "Night"? Is he a cheater exploiting system loopholes, or a relative of an insider? How did he manage to be the first to clear the beginner trial dungeon and the first to defeat the server's first boss?!]

Wang Xing stared blankly at the title of the post, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

Looking at the poster, it was an ID called "The Right Path of the World is Full of Vicissitudes," which was clearly an account registered specifically for posting.

Clicking in to check, I found that the thread had already reached 15+ views, and the most liked comment was not posted by a player, but by the official comment from the game's official website, Dragon Kingdom server, and it had reached 109 million likes!

Lingyu Official (Dragon Kingdom Region): Lingyu is a fully autonomous, fully-running holographic online game with no system vulnerabilities! There is absolutely no such thing as "family privileges." Apart from the game's supreme deity, no one can manipulate any game data! Regarding the data information from "Dark Night," the official team has conducted a thorough investigation and found no signs of cheating or hacking. Everything is completely reasonable and compliant. We urge players not to believe or spread rumors!

...

The comments section below the official reply was filled with players' sarcastic remarks about the poster.

Unsuspecting onlookers: Could this "The Righteous Path of the World" be a lackey of some guild? Furious that his first clear and first kill were stolen, he's come here to report it? Hahaha...

"What can I do to you, my arrogance?": I guess it's either trash who's been taught a lesson by the God of Night and is just trying to show off.

Insect Fly: Doesn't he ever consider that if game data could really be manipulated, with so many wealthy and powerful figures around, how could Black Night have gotten the first kill? Would the big shots in the Kyoto and Shanghai circles have just stood by and watched? What a liar!

My favorite dragon: No, am I the only one who thinks that the darkness might actually be cheating?

Bear King: That's right, just you, ears and nose! @MyFavoriteDragon

Barbabella: Ears and nose +1 @My favorite dragon

Tiger Tiger Tiger: Ears and Nose +10086 @My Favorite Dragon

...

The comments section was overwhelmingly in support of the official account and Wang Xing, while the poster and those who smeared Wang Xing were attacked en masse.

Clearly, "Night," a solo player without a group, has instilled confidence in the vast majority of players.

Even casual players can reach the top of the game!

This game cannot be controlled by guilds and groups alone; solo players can also have their place!

As for how they knew Wang Xing was a solo player, it's quite simple. If Wang Xing had a group, he wouldn't be able to monopolize the rewards, as that would be against his interests.

Therefore, everyone can conclude that he is a solo player, not a big shot in a guild.

To put it simply, Wang Xing has a very high level of popularity among casual players, especially those who have been oppressed or bullied by guilds, who have an even higher regard for him.

They were just waiting for Wang Xing to humiliate the top guilds and give them, ordinary players with no power, a chance to vent their anger!

After browsing for a few minutes, seeing almost all these comments, Wang Xing exited the thread with a wry smile.

I never imagined that I, an ordinary day laborer, would one day become a nationally known celebrity.

This sense of disparity gave him a feeling of unreality, as if he and the night were not one person, but two completely different people.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and then began to look at other posts.

Although the game has only been running for less than ten days, the forum posts have already been overwhelming.

Wang Xing glanced at the titles and suddenly found a post that really interested him.

[A full record of the Temple Guild Leader, God King, leading the team to a first-ever clear of the level 25 Skyhawk City dungeon (Poisonous Beehive) on Abyss difficulty!]

Upon seeing the "God King" in this post, Wang Xing suddenly remembered something.

"God King? I remember he was the third-ranked player on the Summoner Ranking, right?" Wang Xing quickly opened the rankings and found the Summoner Ranking.

[Summoner Tier Ranking]

[Rank 1]: Roaring Dragon (Level 28, 76%)

[2nd Place]: God King (Level 28, 66%)

[3rd Place]: Tyrant (Level 28, 45%)

...

"Oh? You actually rose from third to second place. It seems that clearing the Abyss-level dungeon for the first time has brought you a lot of benefits, even surpassing the second-place Tyrant Tiger."

Wang Xing stroked his chin. As a fellow summoner, he was very interested in these top summoner players. He also wanted to know their strength and talent level.

Click on the video. The video is 59 minutes long. Wang Xing didn't rush to fast forward. Instead, he first wanted to see what the God King's skills were like.

Upon entering the instance, you find yourself in a lush forest filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. However, throughout the forest, you'll find swarms of poisonous bees, each about 20 to 30 centimeters long.

The camera then shifts to mid-air, no longer shooting from the player's perspective, but from a third-person's point of view, clearly using the system's built-in shooting function.

The very next second after the scene changed, Wang Xing's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the video, a huge firebird, four or five meters long and entirely crimson red, flies in the air, its body enveloped in crimson flames, exuding an imposing aura.

"This is... a fire phoenix!?"

Wang Xing exclaimed in surprise, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Unexpectedly, the mythical fire phoenix has appeared in the game, and even become a player's summoned beast!

In the video, as they move forward, the surrounding poisonous bees notice their presence and swarm over to fire their poisonous stingers at the players.

"Chirp~"

The fire phoenix let out a loud cry and rushed straight towards the poisonous bees, spitting out a stream of crimson light that struck one of the bees.

-722

Burning-551

With over 700 magic damage and 551 points of burn damage, the DPS reached nearly 1300!

Judging from this value alone, the Fire Phoenix's damage output has already surpassed that of the Night Raven.

Moreover, the Fire Phoenix's attack speed is very fast, almost once per second, which is incomparable to the Night Raven's skill every 2.5 seconds after the buff.

Of course, this is only compared to a single night raven, after all, Wang Xing has a total of 27 night raven!

As the video played, the five people ventured deeper into the area, and as they went deeper, the number of poisonous bees around them increased.

When they arrived at an open space, a dozen or so poisonous bees swarmed toward them.
