The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 21: Retrospect

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
It was supposed to be an exploration quest, but the Big Three Guilds had forced it into a head-on battle.

From the fight, many players came to the realization of just how strong the Ghost General Cha Na’s powers were. Having that experience, the players were more united in joining forces, even player killer fights in the wild had reduced.

The reason was simple. The leaders of the three biggest guilds, which currently consisted of the strongest players, had had a discussion.

The battle had undoubtedly left them reeling, therefore, they had decided to temporarily put aside competing against one another. Instead, they were resolved to join forces in order to destroy the Ghost Camp situated at the forefront of Liuli District.

The peaceful development around the Ghost Mountains had led to overcrowding since huge amounts of players gathered there to hunt and advance their skills.

Luckily, the Ghost Mountains had a unique map where ghost-type creatures would keep respawning as the game refreshes, allowing players to kill monsters non-stop.

Going deeper into the Ghost Mountains, stronger creatures would appear, such as vengeful spirits, evil spirits and white-haired zombies. It was extremely challenging for the players, though it could be said that they were suffering happily.

Simultaneously, the rise of Battle Online had attracted plenty of gold farmers.

Especially with soul coins having a rate of 1:800, it was exceptionally tempting.

However, what boggled the minds of these gold farmers was how the game could not be opened in multiple windows. In fact, it was impossible to lend an account to another player. No matter what kind of tricks they had up their sleeves, they could not crack this game.

Lu Wu had even noticed that some businessmen in the black market of online games were offering premium prices for a type of crack tool in hopes of running multiple accounts in Battle Online.

Countless cyber hackers had also tried their hands, but to no avail. The game remained with having zero cheats and zero trade bots. Such outstanding results further boosted the game’s popularity.

Lu Wu had full confidence about this matter, for Battle Online accounts were verified through soul-binding, so it was impossible to cheat unless the player had two souls.

At the same time, Lu Wu and Bei Li took in the suggestions by the players in the discussion area and went down into the underworld once more.
