Game testing, day seven.

Wang, who had only slept for five hours, was woken up by his alarm clock.

He didn’t go to bed the night before but slept in the high-tech gaming chair given to him during a live stream he used for selling products.

The integrated gaming chair, worth 38,000 yuan, came with massage and sleep functions and was even more comfortable than lying in a bed.

The gift he had recently received symbolized his current status; the price was of no importance—what mattered most was the feeling of respect he derived from it.

After wiping his face with a hot towel, he returned to his chair only to see a barrage of messages demanding updates in his fan group.

“Wang, time for an update, you’ve been gone six hours.”

“Even the donkey from the production team isn’t as bad as you!”

“This red envelope is only here for an hour, I hope you show up within the hour. Wang, you might not like me, but you can’t dislike money, right?”

“Wang, Wang, come back! Wang, what am I going to do without you?”

Since he went offline in the wee hours, calls for updates had been incessant, even more active than those begging for seeds on forums.

Looking at the messages demanding updates in the group, Wang sneered.

Are you craving me?

You’re craving my game!

Usually, these guys in the group would either demand that he cross-dressed or that he cross-dressed with them, which often led new fans to misunderstand his sexual orientation.

This group was particularly infectious; soon, newcomers would be tainted by the group’s culture, making the group even more frivolous.

And even though they now address him courteously as “Wang,” after the game testing ends tomorrow, they’re sure to start calling him “Old Thief” again.

But with the hype up, it would be foolish not to capitalize on it.

After receiving the activation code, he happily played for two days before remembering to let the brothers in the group have their share of fun.

This temperament suited an Ape Demon better, but his aiming was incredibly accurate, mastering the control of the Flying Sword’s range to often kill enemies at the edge of its limit.

The final Sword Immortal wasn’t as precise as the other two, but was exceptionally steady.

He wouldn’t take action until it was necessary, and when he did, his strikes were almost always on target—thus, he was called “Mature Sword Immortal.”

Seeing these three Sword Immortals, Wang knew he was set.

With three top players on his side, he could recklessly blunder his way to victory—who in the world could stop him!

Just as Wang was proudly preparing to wreak havoc, the three Sword Immortals beside him came to a halt.

Striking a puzzled pose, Wang was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the Monkey Sword Immortal suddenly attack, unleashing a sword light towards the Mature Sword Immortal.

“Are we starting with infighting?!”

The viewers watching Wang’s live stream were all clamoring, each one commenting that Wang was true to form, starting the show with a bang.

Wang was startled by the Monkey Sword Immortal’s actions but soon noticed the Mature Sword Immortal rolling out of the way, avoiding the attack and quickly putting distance between them.

He didn’t strike back immediately but lay in ambush within the bushes, slowly retreating and soon disappearing from Wang’s sight.

Once the target had left, the Monkey Sword Immortal didn’t continue the attack. After the sword light returned, he glanced at Wang and then turned to vanish as well.

The team had barely started and had already fragmented, leaving Wang feeling like the white horse in “Journey to the West” whose baggage had been divided among others.

Looking back at the Meditation Sword Immortal behind him, Wang hesitated for a moment, then gestured, “Shall we stick together from now on?”

Without any nonsense, the Meditation Sword Immortal immediately abandoned Wang and dashed for the next meditation spot, leaving a disheveled Ape Demon in the wind.

I’m an Ape Demon, and at the early stages, I’m just cannon fodder!

Moreover, meditation time in team mode is lengthy; I don’t have the strength to fight for meditation spots, and even if I did, I couldn’t defend them!

Brothers, come back!

What was thought to be an easy victory turned into a descent into hell in less than five minutes. The massive upset not only filled his live stream with showmanship but also left his expression a blend of three parts helplessness, three parts confusion, and ninety-four parts gloom.

A new meme was born, the live stream viewers were rolling with laughter, and they set a small goal for Wang.

Survive, Wang!
