Volume 7, Chapter 36 – The Short-Tempered Loli Roasting People Online

Since ancient times, when dealing with a powerful enemy or one evenly matched with you, besides using tough methods to handle it, there’s another way, make the enemy split from within.

For Yunchou, who had been reborn, this was something that couldn’t be easier.

As for how Andrew became Throne-tier and the forces behind him, Yunchou wouldn’t claim he understood everything, but at the very least, he did know some of the complicated inside story.

The game Subworld really had been developed, there was no doubt about that.

However, you couldn’t just treat it as a game and decide that Subworld was purely a game.

The wonder of Subworld was already common knowledge. And the organization that developed Subworld understood its capabilities better than anyone.

And from the information exposed so far, one of Subworld’s abilities was the power to bring data’s strength into the real world.

Although it looked like only the tip of the iceberg, for current players, it brought more benefits than harm.

And what Yunchou knew as a reborn person was far more than that. Behind the game existed countless forces locked in a struggle. And Andrew, as a Throne-tier, was actually just a “result” produced after those forces fought and bargained from every side.

Throne-tier was practically an unsolvable term in the entire game.

But for this so-called Throne-tier, since those forces dared to let Andrew become Throne-tier, it didn’t mean they had no way to deal with Andrew. After all, even Yunchou could scheme a Throne-tier King of Knights to death, let alone Andrew, who had become a “pawn”.

Of course, even if Andrew was a “pawn”, being able to become Throne-tier meant his ability spoke for itself. And Andrew, whose every attribute was exceptionally outstanding, naturally wasn’t willing to just stay beneath others like this.

After all, in the game world, he was the famous Arcane Emperor of the Arcane Empire, a figure who could raise an arm and have a million soldiers respond from afar.

So if you switched perspectives, if it were Yunchou who had achieved something like that, then Yunchou definitely wouldn’t want to remain under others like this either.

But even holding such thoughts, Andrew still wouldn’t find it easy to turn hostile. Because if he suddenly turned hostile, even if he succeeded, he still wouldn’t be able to shake off the image of being a fickle petty man.

So if he wanted to turn hostile, if he wanted to turn the tables and become the master, Andrew naturally needed a very appropriate reason.

And that reason was what Andrew had been bitterly searching for.

And now, the “reason” for turning hostile was personally delivered by Yunchou. There was no way Andrew, who had climbed to this position step by step, would fail to seize this opportunity.

Yes.

No matter whether Yunchou’s words just now were true or false, and no matter whether Andrew would believe them, with a reason like this, Andrew could begin making moves for the matter of turning hostile against the forces behind him.

Using the excuse of “my information was leaked” to start dealing with the people around him who were watching him, then stirring up dissatisfaction toward him within the forces behind him, and finally putting on a show where the hounds get cooked after the rabbit is dead.

There was no need for Yunchou to remind him at all. Everyone was smart, they all understood this kind of thing.

So the reason that final match ended so hastily was also because it was the result of an under the table “deal” between Yunchou and Andrew.

Yunchou gave Andrew a reason he could use to break free from being a “pawn”.

And Andrew, in turn, handed the victory of this match to Yunchou. On the surface, it looked like Yunchou won without effort, but in reality, the one maximizing the benefits was Andrew.

So compared to the wave of players online cursing about a “fixed match”, Andrew and Yunchou ended the match with tacit understanding.

“This… this is over?”

Not knowing the schemes and contests in Yunchou and Andrew’s hearts, Tianyin, who had watched the entire match with her own eyes, had countless question marks popping up in her mind nonstop.

Her cherry colored lips parted slightly, and her delicate, cute little face was full of confusion.

『Samael, what’s wrong with these two guys? Why is it over before it even started?』

「Xiaoyin, that’s outside my knowledge blind spot…」

In her mind, Samael’s voice also carried a bit of helplessness.

「I can’t read those two either. As Throne-tier, even if they’re deliberately holding back, the fight should last at least half an hour. But from start to finish, the whole match wasn’t even three minutes…」

『That’s way too weird…』

『Mm, so that means these two guys are both really something?』

「Well… it really is suspicious.」

『Samael, then can I just announce that these two are fixing the match? Then directly declare the outcome of this tournament invalid?』

For some reason, the moment Tianyin saw Yunchou’s expression, clearly getting the win yet still looking calm and breezy like nothing happened, she felt anger rising for no reason.

By rights, shouldn’t a champion have to go through endless hardship, defeat countless strong enemies, and finally win after one thrilling, satisfying final battle?

Why was it that with Yunchou, it felt like the championship had belonged to him from the start, after he got the win, his heart didn’t even ripple at all.

「Pfft, Xiaoyin. Strictly speaking, you don’t have that authority, right? Before the tournament started, you said being a referee wasn’t free at all, and handed the referee power over to your subordinates to manage. And now you want to go back on what you said and force yourself into being the referee for once… that’s not very good, is it?」

『Mm… but… but I feel like this match really didn’t look like a match at all…』

What Samael said did make sense.

After all, as the lord of a faction, Tianyin couldn’t do something like breaking her word.

But… even with that reason, Tianyin still felt unwilling.

Rеaԁ оո ΚаtReaⅾіոgСαfe

『I know that, but Samael… This is obviously fixing the match…』

「Pfft, you can’t say it like that, Xiaoyin. Think about it, even if this match looks like a fixed match, Andrew, as the losing side, admitted his defeated status. After all, the competitor himself admitted he lost, so what more can Xiaoyin say?」

『Mm…』

What Samael said was indeed reasonable, and for a moment, Tianyin didn’t know how to refute it.

After all, if the person involved had admitted defeat, then the outcome of this match was no longer that important.

But understanding was one thing, Tianyin was still angry enough to puff out her little cheeks, a cute face full of huffing.

『Aaaaah, I’m so pissed off…! seeing that guy Yunchou looking like nothing happened just makes me furious!』

『I really want to beat that guy up hard just once!』

There’s a saying, right?
