Chapter 985 Interlude: Hahaha, Can You Beat Me?!

Misery and AP looked at the title details and couldn't help but feel insulted. What was this damn AI trying to say, that their honest and passion filled words were full of deception and evil?

Preposterous!

It was with such righteous anger and that they quickly accepted the title and wore it proudly, spamming the guild chat with it over and over until the other members of Umbra cursed them for hours.

"You fellows are obnoxious! Who cares about your title! SHUT UP!! - Maple Leaf"

"I have a title. - AP_Berzerker (Gentlemen of Honor and Truth!)"

"That title was earned distastefully and wickedly, with no honor within! - Kicked Bucket"

"I have a title. - AP_Berzerker (Gentlemen of Honor and Truth!)"

"I disdain your title throughly! Its uncool and not as good as what boss Draco has! - Panty King"

"I have a title. - AP_Berzerker (Gentlemen of Honor and Truth!)"

"STOP SAYING THAT!! - Loli King"

"I have a title. - AP_Berzerker (Gentlemen of Honor and Truth!)"

"ARRGHHHHH!!! - All"

After torturing the Advanced and Expert member to death, Misery and AP were full of smiles. Then they checked Elle's stream to see what the chat there were saying as well.

[Comfy Poster: Sigh, this has to be the biggest heist in human history. The factors that led to this outcome are difficult and almost impossible to replicate and I doubt something of this magnitude will happen again.]

[Moon Lord: These two fellows don't know it, but they're gonna go down in history. I still can't believe they finessed over 50 million human beings from different countries, backgrounds and all with human-level IQ.]

[Returner Is Back: Hello, this is the new account I made to restart the game! Update me guys, how did our donation go? Is Shadowheart suffering yet?]

[Monkey King's Toe: …]

[Father Christmas: …]

[I Have Nein Lives: How do we tell em?]

[Hermit Jem: I am also a new account made by an old player. I had around 500 silver on my old account as well as a full set of Uncommon gear. I gave it all up to see Shadowheart suffer!]

[Boing Boing God: I just clutched my chest in endless pain. With an Uncommon set, I could have easily become an Epic Rank Guild Leader, or even applies to become a basic member of Umbra.]

[Hermit Jem: Hmph, such things are transient! I can always earn them back, but I can't always have the chance to make Shadowheart regret offending me!]

[Comprehensive Cry: Oh yeah, they're transient alright, because you ain't getting that shit back on god.]

[The Follower: LMAOOOOO.]

[Death Burn: I'm fucking dead bruh.]

[Returner is Back: What's so funny??? I don't think what @Hermit Jem said is amusing, right??]

[Natong Caviar: My Brother in Christ, you got swindled, duped, bamboozled, conned, robbed, beguiled, bilked, deceived, gypped, hoodwinked, tricked, ripped off, scammed, defrauded and of course, absolutely gaslit.]

[Hermit Jem: I-Impossible! It can't be? I heard the words myself, it was…! It was…!! I-It was…?]

[Hermit Jem: Wait, who was the one that spoke at the time?]

[Returner Is Back: I-I don't remember… all I remember is being full of hatred and rage,m and two heavenly voices sounded in my ears that gave me a way to achieve what I wanted.]

[Were Pig Cat: I was going to write along essay explaining the nuances of how you were played to death, but I think you should just focus on the screen. You'll understand.]

At this time, the various restarters who were reading the chat with rapt attention, their hearts beating as fear began to fill them at the prospective of the situation going bad, turned to the livestream screen.

When they saw what was there, their whole bodies froze, and blood drained from their faces.

Misery and AP_Berzerker were strutting about, decked in piles of Uncommon, Rare and other equipment all over, arrogantly speaking loudly into the stream camera.

"Trash! Trash! Trash!! What is all this useless equipment? What ma I supposed to do with it, use it to wipe my ass?" AP_Berzerker roared with disdain.

"I can't believe these were the precious equipment of life and death for so many people. Its no wonder they couldn't even tickle Sister Elle's fancy." Misery sighed as he shook his head.

"How can they be a match? Even the tissue that Brother Shadow uses to wipe his nose is worth more than their entire set of equipment." AP retorted as he threw off a Common Rank helmet that looked like a medieval Roman's style helmet.

He then kicked it off into the sunset with boredom, laughing at the helm that lost all durability and shattered into pieces. In the chat, there was a load of silence, as if it was mourning someone's death.

[Returner Is Back: T-That was my helm… I had to fight a level 60 Sergeant Rank monster for 3 days with my 4 man party in order to acquire that…]

[Cursed Asura: That ain't your helm no more son. That belongs to the wind.]

[Hermit Jem: So we were really tricked? By why? Why would anyone do this?!]

[Diaper Wiper: Are you really asking why two fellows who bullied a Demon Captain until he committed suicide would do this? Really?]

[Hermit Jem: Report! Report!! REPORT!! REPORT THE FELLOWS AND GET THEIR ACCOUNTS BANNED!!]

Immediately, waves of users began to mass report Misery and AP, even those who were just spectating, they too felt that these fellows had gone too far and it would set a bad precedent if anyone could just dupe them like this in the future.

However, the AI did not respond to their reports, making the faces of many players darken. They continued to mass spam, until the AI suddenly sent a message to all players.

｢System to Player Announcement

You have reported players Misery and AP_Berzerker for acts of fraud and cheating. Before processing these claims, I would have to make a report to the two accused with your names included. Continue?｣

The faces of those who were reporting them froze, and then became ugly. What the fuck do you mean by you have to make a report? So that they could launch another worldwide bounty with their names attached?

Immediately, more then 95% of those reporting retracted their reports, even many who got duped and made new accounts. They had already been tricked and lost everything, there was no need to make their new lives harder.

Of course, there were many fellows with red eyes that were filled with madness and rage,m unable to extricate themselves. Soon, the AI gave them a response.

｢System to Player Announcement

After through investigation, it has been found that there was no direct cause of fraud or cheating. The situation occurred because players eavesdropped on a private conversation between the two accused players and misunderstood their meaning.｣

Misery and AP who were watching the whole show, sneered. There was no way the AI would implicate them, not just because they were part of Umbra, but because the AI was probably the happiest of them all for this happening.

Anything that deprived the playerbase of strength and wealth was good news to her, because it meant that they would have to fight for what they lost with harder conditions, which would force them to squeeze out more potential.

After doing the AI a favor, how could she betray them? You were thinking too much!

What was the most infuriating thing in the world? It was when you were tricked by somebody and couldn't do anything about it. This caused the mouths of the players who reported to spurt blood, but they didn't stop.

Madness filled their minds as they continued to report, aiming to punish the cheating whore AI with interruptions until it eventually caved in. However, how could the AI be easily bullied?

｢System to Player Announcement

It has been detected that you are still reporting players Misery and AP_Berzerker despite the announcement that they are innocent. As slander is not tolerate by Glorygore Studios at all, your account will be penalized 500 platinum as compensation towards the two slandered players, taken from all your earnings in the future.｣

When the players who were angrily spamming saw this, their expressions froze and their hearts sank to their anus. They immediately retracted their reports and began to beg, but the AI never responded after that.

So now, not only had they lost their original accounts, but they had also incurred a debt that they would take eons to repay in their new one. Worst part was that the AI didn't allow them to reroll or join them game through other means unless they paid up through this account.

Many spurted a second round of blood and fell backwards, deader than a door knob. Immediately, Misery and APO received another notification.

｢System to Player Announcement
