Volume 2, Chapter 90 – Temptation

Virus?

Yunchou is a virus?

Before this, Tianyin had considered many possibilities for Yunchou’s identity—but never once had she imagined this one.

That this player called Yunchou was actually a virus?

But if what the System said was true, then that was the only explanation for why Yunchou knew about Tianyin’s overwhelming power, something no one else could have possibly known.

“Yunchou… he’s a virus?”

Although what the System’s light orb said could already explain why Yunchou knew about her power, it also explained why the System had only noticed his presence now.

“That person… that player… is actually a virus within this game world?”

Unbelievable.

Incomprehensible.

Hard to accept.

Even though Tianyin could now understand why Yunchou’s schemes had been flawless, still, this was a virtual game…

A large-scale multiplayer online RPG virtual game…

That such a massive game could harbor a virus in the shape of a player, and that the System’s light orb only discovered it just now…

If the System hadn’t said it, Tianyin would never have thought of Yunchou as a “virus.”

Who would have thought Yunchou was actually a virus?

Who would?

“That’s right, Yunchou is a virus in this game. Until now, all I know is that he appeared suddenly, but I can’t calculate how he became a virus in this world.”

At this moment, the voice of the System’s light orb slowly echoed.

“Little Tianyin, the reason I came to see you today was actually to warn you of how dangerous Yunchou is. If there’s ever a chance, I hope you can destroy his schemes, and if necessary, I want you to kill him.”

Hearing that, Tianyin rolled her eyes.

Why did this sound like she was being asked to act as the System’s antivirus software?

The System found a virus and immediately ran to her, giving a long speech about how dangerous Yunchou was, only to conclude that he was a virus that needed Tianyin to remove…

“Aren’t you the System God? Can’t you handle him yourself? Why do you have to make me deal with him? Either way, I don’t want to get involved. Sure, Yunchou might have used me back then, but I didn’t actually lose anything, so it’s not really my problem, right?”

Tianyin flatly rejected the System’s request.

Simply put, Tianyin didn’t want to work for the System.

Why should she?

At her refusal, the System’s light orb gave a soft sigh.

“When I say Yunchou is a virus, it’s only because he’s a special kind of being that can’t be understood or calculated by normal logic.”

“To put it simply, while he isn’t truly a player, he still is one in essence. That’s why, as the System, I have no right to directly erase or eliminate him. Even if he were to be accidentally killed by a player, I still couldn’t secretly intervene and delete him, I don’t have that authority.”

“So right now, the only one who can erase him… is you, Little Tianyin.”

“The problem is, he hasn’t done anything to me. There’s no conflict between us, and he’s smart enough not to mess with me. Why should I go looking for trouble with him?”

Tianyin continued to push back.

True, from the System’s words, Yunchou did sound terrifying, but so far, he hadn’t actually done anything to her.

Besides, Tianyin wasn’t the type to go looking for unnecessary trouble. Even finding this player called Yunchou sounded like a hassle.

It wasn’t like he was dead, he could move around freely, and the Main World was huge. By the time Tianyin managed to track him down, who knew how many years would have passed?

“Well then, Little Tianyin, do you know what Yunchou’s subordinate, the Death Knight Karl, said to Sargus today?”

The System suddenly shifted the topic to Karl, Yunchou’s Death Knight subordinate.

Tianyin, curious despite herself, perked up her ears.

“Eh, what did he say?”

“What did he say?”

The System paused for a moment before continuing.

“The Undead Grand Duke Sargus is considering passing his title of Grand Duke to Karl’s master, Yunchou.”

“Hmm…? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what? Are you kidding me? Sargus seemed perfectly normal! Why would he suddenly have such an idea?”

“Besides, there are plenty of candidates for the position of Undead Grand Duke in the Graveyard! Forget the older Legendary ones, even a Throne-class being like Bingxue… no, the Frost Dragon Ysera, could inherit that title, right?”

To be honest, Tianyin didn’t really believe what the System was saying.

It felt like the System was just trying to provoke her into acting against Yunchou.

But hey, did it really think Tianyin was just some stupid loli?

Hmph. Any “stupidity” from before was purely accidental!

The truth was, Tianyin wasn’t a dumb loli at all!

“Exactly because you would think that way, that’s why the Undead Grand Duke Sargus wants Yunchou to be the next Grand Duke…”

The System’s tone was filled with a teasing amusement.

“Little Tianyin, think about it. If Yunchou really becomes the Undead Grand Duke… will your little Bingxue ever have a chance to return?”

“Little… Bingxue…”

Damn it, why did this stupid System sound like it knew everything?

Tianyin’s expression stiffened.

“Little Tianyin, with Yunchou’s personality, always exploiting everything he can, if he becomes the Undead Grand Duke, how do you think he’ll use someone like your Throne-class little Bingxue?”

“No, impossible. Even if Yunchou becomes the Undead Grand Duke, Bingxue wouldn’t follow his orders.”

Tianyin still refused to believe it.

“But what if Sargus himself commands Bingxue to obey Yunchou? Then what, Little Tianyin? Have you thought about how Yunchou might use her?”

“You know… Yunchou is the kind of person who can stand there and watch his own people be slaughtered by outsiders without blinking…”

“And when that time comes, my cute Little Tianyin, everything will be far too late~”

At that moment.

The System’s voice echoed in Tianyin’s mind like the whisper of a devil.

Endlessly.

Was she really going to wait until everything was beyond saving?

Before she realized it, Tianyin’s tiny fists had clenched tightly.

Translator Note

Oho~ the plot becomes more interesting.

On one hand, Yunchou had killed a real player. But he was also the one who gave a warning for the players about becoming an undead in the real world.

But on the other hand, the developers’ response regarding ‘no problem’ at all was also strange too. So, in that sense, that System God also has its own secrets.

So, who is the true villain, hmm~? Is it Yunchou? System God? Or both of them are villains but with different objectives?

Anyway~! I just want to inform you guys that this Volume 2 only has 20 chapters remaining~!

Happy reading~!
