Chapter 379: Chapter 368: Is This Trophy Right?！

Yelang felt helpless towards the audience in the live broadcast room who were going crazy with their comments.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a small-time anchor anymore, and with enough people in the live broadcast room, some were willing to give sincere advice to the anchor:

“Sneak in! Don’t just use your gun, use your head!”

“Fight through! It’s totally possible! I’ve seen people barge in all the way!”

“Fight your way through, my ass! By the time you get in there, everyone’s run off!”

“I suggest checking out Big Horn’s live streaming replay.”

Yelang directly skipped all the comments saying “Fight through” and decided to try “Sneak in.”

But before that, “Who is Big Horn?”

“He’s a new anchor vying for the first completion! Among all the public live streaming anchors now, he has the fastest progress!”

“He might be the first person to complete the main missions in ‘Speedy Chase’!”

“I don’t know about that, his progress is mostly due to his intelligence. As for his actual strength, it isn’t top-level. He got stuck at the church and died six times without passing it, so he decided to do the side missions to level up his skills instead.”

After reading the comments, Yelang summed up, “So, he’s an anchor who relies on intelligence to play games and compete for the first completion?”

In order not to see any spoilers, he had ignored gaming news for a day and a half, and now he felt like he was way behind the times, relying on the audience to fill him in.

But there was no choice; if he saw more news, he would risk getting spoiled.

For example, now he only asked one more question – “Who is Big Horn?” – and found out there was a mission in the Church and that it would be difficult…

Seeing that the audience was about to send comments and explain the battle for first completion in “Speedy Chase” and each competitor’s progress, Yelang hurriedly stopped them.

If he didn’t stop them, he’d get spoilers again!

As for checking a guide, there’s no need!

He firmly believed: It was only because he had fallen behind a day and a half in progress and was eager to catch up with the main group, he hadn’t thought of the “sneak in” option.

If he played normally, he would definitely come up with it quickly and wouldn’t get stuck!

Regaining confidence, Yelang started circling the Red Circle Club, looking for opportunities to sneak in.

And the opportunity was rather obvious – a burly security guard stood at the side door, and above the guard’s head, a conspicuous light dot floated, reminding players of the NPC’s special status.

Yelang couldn’t help but slap himself on the forehead, lamenting, “Such an obvious marker! What on earth was I thinking, going straight for the front door!”

Since he found the correct way to play, his confidence naturally returned: “Now that I’ve found the correct way to play, it’s time to showcase my real skills! Watch me perform a perfect infiltration for everyone! Rushing directly in front of the target and giving that bastard a surprise from the heavens!”

The audience immediately commented:

“No way! Absolutely impossible!”

“Anchor, you might be overestimating your skills.”

“Brothers mean no harm, just a friendly suggestion: don’t set this kind of flag.”

Seeing these comments, as a professional anchor, he obviously couldn’t back down –

“Underestimate me? I won’t stand for that! In that case, if I get caught, I’ll start over and keep doing it until it’s perfect! You all just watch!”

Yelang stopped looking at the comments and began to concentrate on finding a stealthy route.

He was really eager to catch up with the progress.

Although he wasn’t pursuing first completion, he had to at least keep up with the main group’s progress, right?

In his opinion, this shouldn’t be too difficult since tomorrow was Monday – those who needed to go to school or work would have significantly reduced gaming time.

As for him, maintaining 16 hours of gaming time would be enough to catch up with the progress.

Although Yelang was no longer looking at the comments, the audience’s discussion continued:

“Should we tell him that so far, there have only been three anchors who have achieved a perfect stealth infiltration in a public broadcast?”

“I feel like he’s going to spend all of today’s gaming time in this nightclub.”

“Ah, silly kid.”

“With this kind of intelligence, you should just switch careers early and become an idol!”

Next, Yelang embarked on his difficult and extraordinary “stealth” journey,

He had no experience in this field in reality, and aside from the outermost NPC, the System provided no special guidance.

The biggest help came when he intended to stab the brawny man at the door, and a prompt option floated before his eyes:

[Intimidate/Kill?]

Yelang immediately chose to intimidate, and after that, he smoothly entered the inner part of the nightclub.

But there were no prompts inside, and the people were more relaxed, unlike the main entrance with guards every few steps.

Yelang didn’t know the interior of the nightclub or the distribution of personnel, which made advancing extremely difficult.

When making a sneak attack, if his movements weren’t swift enough, or if he stabbed someone in the wrong place and they let out a scream or struggled too long, he might be discovered and surrounded.

Yelang had no choice but to begin a painful journey of trial and error, learning the characteristics of each passage, the position and trajectory of each NPC, and then judging blind spots and safe passage times.

Moreover, the deeper he went, the higher the difficulty and the smaller the margin for error.

Especially in the underground bathhouse where the target was located, the stealth difficulty was ridiculously high.

As a matter of fact, by that night, Yelang had already discovered that the difficulty of combat had decreased significantly.

Apparently, his continuous failures had triggered a dynamic difficulty adjustment.

Unfortunately, this adjustment only adjusted the “combat” difficulty.

The difficulty of stealth remained unchanged.

This suggests that when this level was designed, the default way to pass it wasn’t to require players to “completely stealth through”, but to stealth in and then fight all the way to the target.

By that time, he had already spent several hours and was familiar with the entire route, always feeling like success was just inches away, and was really unwilling to give up just like that.

Considering the live streaming effect, he stubbornly kept going.

His stubbornness persisted until four in the morning…

After sixty-eight failed attempts, and after more than ten hours of tireless effort, Yelang finally accomplished his goal of perfectly sneaking up to the target!

But unfortunately, at the last moment when Yelang threw away his knife and pulled out his gun, an ordinary-looking NPC beside Yousuf suddenly sacrificed himself to block the attack, causing it not to fully connect.

But the good news was: the game popped up an achievement trophy, acknowledging that he had achieved perfect stealth.

It was a Silver Trophy, which wasn’t high in rarity based on the system.

The inscription on the base of the trophy was also intriguing-

[No one noticed I was here]

Yelang felt speechless about this: “Is this trophy right?!”

Such a difficult achievement, it took me more than ten hours and a lot of effort to get, and it’s just a Silver Trophy??

Is that reasonable?

And according to the information in the System prompts, there are very few holders of this trophy!

Obviously, even though the player base of “Speed Chase” has become huge, there are very few players who are as stubborn as Yelang in the first clearance.

“Is Cloud Dream too stingy?! For this level of stealth difficulty, if not a diamond, at least give me a gold trophy?!”

Inside the live broadcast room, although only a few night owls were left, they were all excited and amazed by his accomplishment, which offered some comfort to Yelang, making him feel like his efforts weren’t in vain.

Moreover, he had already taken revenge on the criminals who had broken into his house and killed his dog that night, besides the Black Second Generation Yousuf Tarasov.

Both their waists and necks had been punctured by him, successfully avenging three-quarters of the grudge.

It’s just … Yelang looked at the trophy in his hand, and then at the security rushing from all sides, he really wanted to ask –

“Is this called ‘No one noticed I was here’?”

Feeling exhausted, he had no heart to continue fighting, so he didn’t care where the autosave would save and performed an exit right away.

“Sleep, and continue tomorrow! Goodnight, everyone!”
