After completing the trade, Su Jin looked at the time and smiled at Scarlet Rose, “Hey, beauty, I’m satisfied with this trade. I hope we’ll have the chance to cooperate again next time.”

Su Jin’s game character became transparent, indicating that he was exiting the game.

Although he had the nutrition cabin to protect him, it was not good for his mental state to remain tense all the time. He needed to exit the game to relax his mind. On the other hand, working hard in the game was to earn money to live a better life in the real world.

Scarlet Rose puffed her cheeks and finally nodded her head in agreement.

Although Heavenly Cloud’s words sounded ambiguous, it wasn’t a big deal, after all, when she thought about it carefully. It was within the scope where she could forgive him.

It wouldn’t be an easy task if she wanted Heavenly Cloud to be on their side. Was seducing him the only way?

Scarlet Rose was shocked when she realized she was thinking about that. She quickly dismissed the idea, but she could not forget about it.

Su Jin had already logged out, so he didn’t know the beautiful guild leader was already thinking of seducing him.

After logging out, Su Jin relaxed a little. Then, he turned on his computer and searched for the latest news. At the same time, he checked them with his memories from his previous life.

The game had just been developed. So many rules had not been formed yet. There were also a lot of flaws.

For example, the most popular way to exchange gold coins for money was in the game. After getting the gold coins in the game, one could exchange them for money in real life However, the player would have to go there personally, so his personal information would be left behind.

If a person were an ordinary player, he could occasionally exchange the gold coins for a few hundred dollars. That was nothing much. After exchanging plenty of gold coins, those large guilds had all sorts of forces behind them. If they think it were necessary, they would naturally use some underhanded methods to get the money back.

Some could even imprison players in real life and make them fight for gold coins in the game. Then, handing them over to the guilds.

In his last birth, he had seen many situations like that from news reports from time to time. Later, there was a riot in a city, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people. The city’s order collapsed for three days. The cause of the riot was because some force had imprisoned a player. After completing a hidden quest in the game, the power in the game affected him in the real world.

From then on, the officials established the exchange of gold coins for money on an anonymous website.

The government set up an anonymous website for trading.

Su Jin searched for a while but didn’t see much news. He knew that it wasn’t the right time yet, so he immediately put away the idea of trading the gold coins for money.

The gold coins in the game wouldn’t depreciate. So, Su Jin decided to keep them for now.

Su Jin looked at his bank balance again and found that he didn’t have enough money. So, he immediately borrowed 30,000 dollars from the bank to spend. When the game authorities had anonymous in the future, he could sell some gold coins to pay back the loan.

Su Jin couldn’t reveal her identity in the game at the moment. It was too risky.

The bank approved the loan and transferred the 30,000 dollars to Su Jin’s account. Su Jin took a shower and changed into a comfortable casual outfit. Then, he decided to go out and dine.

The nutrient solution could guarantee the human body’s function, but it didn’t have much flavor. It was better to eat something.

On the first floor of the apartment, there was a good restaurant. Su Jin could only eat occasionally in the past to satisfy his appetite, but now he could have a good meal.

He chose a seat by the window, ordered the most expensive set meal, and opened a bottle of red wine. It was the life he had dreamt of.

A few female customers who looked like office ladies were dining in the restaurant. Each of them had a luxury handbag on their lap. Their eyes lit up with excitement when they saw Su Jin.

“The man sitting by the window is so handsome. One of us should get his contact number.”

“I want to go, but it would be so awkward if he rejects. How about we go after him after he finishes eating?”

“He’s so handsome, yet he’s eating alone in a restaurant. Could he be a lonely rich kid?”

“Who knows? Maybe he will surprise us.”

“Tsk, look at his behavior. He doesn’t look like he often comes to the restaurant to eat. I think he’s here to hook up with girls and get laid,” A woman sitting on the left said disdainfully.

…

Su Jin didn’t know that some women thought he was a poor guy, trying to hook up with girls.

While eating, he turned on his phone and logged into the game forum of New World. He wanted to read the important news and compare it with his memories from his last birth. If there were any unexpected errors, he would have to amend them in time.

Su Jin saw a post with more than 10,000 messages once he opened the page. The title was compulsive, “Novice Village: One Against Thousands of Players, Solo Player [ Heavenly Cloud ] Slain 2,000 Players!”

In the post, Su Jin saw pictures and text descriptions. There was even an HD resolution video in it.

At the beginning of the video, the players with the prefix of each guild attacked the Boss. Someone slayed the guild leaders when the Boss’s HP dropped to a dangerous value. They turned into white light and disappeared.

With the death of the guild leader, the scene immediately fell into chaos. The pace of attacking the Boss also slowed down. Most importantly, no one knew how their guild leader died.

It wasn’t captured due to the angle of the video. All that could be seen from the video was the four guilds were in chaos. The Boss began to use its skills.

After that, someone slayed the players from time to time, but no one knew where the enemy was. It seemed like the enemy was invisible.

Not long after that, a skill that looked like the [ Fighting Aura Domain ] was activated. It moved quickly, slaying over a thousand guild players.

Not long after they died, the server announced.

The player’s ID: [ Heavenly Cloud ]!

Along with the music and commentary of the post-production of the video, the entire video was hot-blooded and passionate. Even Su Jin, who watched it, felt his blood boil and his heart rate increase. He even doubted if the player in the video was him.

Su Jin had only casually slain the players to snatch the Boss.

That wasn’t right either. Su Jin was the one who discovered the Boss, and those guild players were the ones who came to snatch it. He was on the right side.

However, the video made Su Jin feel like he had saved the world. It was flattering.

After the video, there were pictures and text commentary.

Inside, there was a close-up photo of Su Jin’s game character. Beside it was an eye-catching ID comment: Heavenly Cloud!

After the post was a large row of comments below:

“Heavenly Cloud, please accept my respect for you. One against thousands. I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

“Exactly. Slaying four guilds and fighting the Boss alone is so cool.”

“The Boss still has more than 8,000 HP left. Single-handedly killing it, that’s a lot of pressure.”

“Heavenly Cloud is awesome. Do you have a girlfriend?”

“Well done. Slay all these f*cking guild players. Don’t treat them like human beings.”

“Speaking of which, who is Heavenly Cloud? That is the first time I’ve heard of this ID. Did some professional gamer change his ID?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe Heavenly Cloud is an esports player. Now that all the gamers have entered New World, those people have much more advantages than us. I wonder what else he will do in the future.”

“I can’t see anything from this video. I’m guessing that Heavenly Cloud has stealth skills. I don’t know if it’s from his equipment or himself. It’s amazing. He must have accomplished some hidden quest.”

Other than feeling impressed, most netizens guessed Heavenly Cloud’s identity. After all, the game had been created a long time ago. Those expert players all had their IDs.

However, that was the first time Heavenly Cloud’s ID appeared.

After closing the post, Su Jin scrolled through the comments. He noticed that there were still players questioning Heavenly Cloud’s skills. They doubted that he cheated. The players who posted were from Tyrant Guild, Greed Wolf Guild, and Assassin Guild. They had posted a lot of comments and pinned them. Their popularity wasn’t low either.

However, New World was a game that had suddenly appeared. No one knew who was running it behind the scenes. There wasn’t even an official website. No one paid any attention to them. No matter how much the players clamored, no one bothered to deal with it..
