The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 257: Liu Chai’s Challenge

After the first battle in the Demonic Domain, players’ emotions had become even more intense.

In addition to hunting the Undead in the Void Ocean, the players’ taunting had become even more frequent in the territories of the Hydra King and the Rock Ghost King.

This had caused these two Ghost Kings to pour out their endless grievances.

However, since Lu Wu hadn’t given them any specific orders yet, they could only grin and bear it.

Nonetheless, the players also knew when they needed to stop and to not cross the line. At the very least, they still took into account that the Hydra King and the Rock Ghost King had provided great help during the battle against the Sea King, so they still showed them some mercy.

With the current power of Beiqi’s Army, it would be nothing to them to completely annihilate the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King.

Meanwhile, the profits of Lu Wu’s soul coins were rapidly increasing.

Other than the increase in the number of players and the purchases of the daily merchandise, there was another important contributing factor. The number of players that were launching challenges in the Ghost Commander Trials had increased tremendously.

The fee to enter the challenge was a huge part of the recent increase in the soul coin income.

Apart from using these soul coins to increase his own cultivation and Beiqi’s construction, Lu Wu had also planned to use them for the upcoming opening of the American server. He had carefully been calculating all the expenses.

After this battle, Lu Wu had come up with a new idea.

His idea was to merge the three main servers of South America, North America, and Oceania into a single server and rename it the Naraka server.

Lu Wu had finally decided on this plan after much consideration.

After all, the Land of Naraka had been chosen as the origin of the new server.

This unruly area was filled with many strong clans and many forbidden areas that could give rise to demonic creatures. It would be difficult for anyone to survive in this place.

Not to mention, after entering Naraka, Lu Wu couldn’t create any resurrection point until the players had successfully claimed ownership to any of the territories in it.

This was because each resurrection point would be created in a random location within a fixed territory.

Of course, Lu Wu would choose the relatively weaker territory compared to the stronger force of Naraka to set as the fixed resurrection point.

This was in consideration for the players as well because this piece of Naraka was occupied by stronger clans. The chances of claiming territory in the initial stage was zero.

It could be said that the opening level for the Naraka server was vastly different from those of the previous servers.

All players would start off in a doomsday survival mode and their challenges were at a Naraka level.

Moreover, the original plan was to create the Australian server and the other servers, but since the number of players was not as high as these major servers, just merging these was a good choice, as it could greatly enhance the player’s survivability in the early stage.

As for the subsequent opening of the Asian server, Lu Wu was already making plans for it and was setting up a new template for it. Then, he would develop a variety of expansion routes for the players.

Recently, the videos of the Ghost Commander Trial Challenge had gone viral in the forum.

After all, only a few players could successfully defeat the Ghost Commander. Winning the challenge was something that a player should be proud of, and at the same time able to prove one’s strength and ability.

In addition to joining in the fun, players watching the videos of the Ghost Commander Trial Challenge wanted to learn some combat skills to improve their own abilities and to prepare for the upcoming tournament.

However, the live streaming of the challenge today had stunned all the players.

[Finally reached Level 100, I will try to challenge the Ghost Commander, live streaming for my fellow guild members (I do not intend to pass – it is purely for entertainment purposes, so don’t take it too seriously)!]

Host: Commander_Of_Demolition_Officers

After going through the battle yesterday, Liu Chai had finally reached Level 100, which was also the minimum requirement to enter the Ghost Commander Trial Challenge.

Under the persuasion of fellow guild members, Liu Chai decided to try it out.

Of course, he himself did not have any high hopes of success.

At this stage, many players who were at Level 130 weren’t able to pass it. Even the top players like Ao Jian had only managed to pass the challenge when he was at Level 120, not to mention, after his second attempt.

Therefore, in this challenge, Liu Chai had only wanted to test the waters and to see the differences in power between himself and the actual Ghost Commander level monsters.

Moreover, at this moment, Liu Chai was the guild leader of Beiqi’s first guild and he was very popular among the players. So, very soon his livestream had attracted the attention of many.

Liu Chai felt embarrassed when he saw the huge number of players that had tuned in to support him since he didn’t have much confidence in this battle.

After paying the entrance fee to the Mansion of the Dead’s keeper, two panels appeared in front of him:

[Entry level Combat-type Ghost Commander Trial Challenge (applicable to all combat classes)]

[Entry level Auxiliary-type Ghost Commander Trial Challenge (applicable to all auxiliary classes)]

Liu Chai had advanced his class to Rune Master, so naturally, he chose the combat challenge.

After pressing to confirm, the scene before him faded out. When a new cut scene appeared, he found himself in the middle of nowhere.

In front of him was a ten foot tall ugly-looking giant orc holding a thick wooden club looking at him fiercely.

[The end of random backdrop selection: skill demonstration area scene]

[The end of random of Ghost Commander monster selection: Ferocious beasts (early stage of Ghost Commander)]

[Warning: Players are prohibited from using revive potions, growing range potions, Lucky Scrolls, etc…]

After the instruction cutscene dimmed, a countdown timer emerged in front of Liu Chai’s eyes.

[Ghost Commander Trial Challenge begins… player please be ready… countdown… ten… nine… eight… seven… six…]

In high anticipation of the players, the challenge finally started.

Of course, what the players were looking forward to was not how Liu Chai was going to display his immense strength or abilities, nor his attack to the trial-level monster, but to witness how Liu Chai would embarrass himself. Then they could laugh at him by sending mocking emojis.

Liu Chai faced the ferocious beast as it came rushing toward him, but he dared not face it head-on. He immediately did a side roll and evaded the thick wooden club that was about to crush him.

However, the ferocious beast’s reaction was super agile. As it saw the attack was unsuccessful, it quickly swirled its body around and swerved the wooden club diagonally upward. Then, it forcefully smashed it into Liu Chai’s chest, sending him flying to the other side.

When viewers saw Liu Chai soaring, the live stream channel suddenly became very lively.

Crayon_Shinchan: “Leader of Demolition, what are you waiting for? Use your sacrifice, and beat him up with the Sea God! If you activate this skill, I can assure you that you can settle him within seconds… if you start all over again it’s no big deal, too, it’s just Level 0, what are you afraid of, we’re just waiting for you to beat his ass (a laughing and persuasive glance.jpg)!”

A_Large_Wolfdog replied to Crayon_Shinchan: “Why are you, the good-for-nothing troll, always around!? (disgusted squinting eye look.jpg)”

Crayon_Shinchan replied to A_Large_Wolfdog: “Since you’re here, I will pet your head with respect… (laughing emoji)”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “Guild leader Liu Chai, fighting!”

Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers: “Fighting that Ferocious beast (laughing emoji)!”

Junior_Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers: “Fighting that Ferocious beast (laughing emoji)!”

At this moment, in the discussion area, apart from the players that were trolling Liu Chai, the other comments were divided into two groups.

On one hand, there were players that hoped Liu Chai would be able to pass the trial test, and were cheering him on.

On the other hand, there was a group of players none other than his own guild members who were eating popcorn as they cheered for the ferocious beast.

At this instant in the livestream, the figure of the ferocious beast once again appeared next to Liu Chai and the huge wooden club smashed directly onto his head.

There was such a huge difference in terms of physical qualities between these two. There was no way that Liu Chai was able to catch up with the ferocious beast, so the only thing he could do was to build up his courage and face it directly.

As the strength gemstone on his body gleamed, he raised his right arm.

Boom!

Liu Chai abruptly sank his body down while his left arm quickly shot out and struck at the armpit of the ferocious beast.

That hit worked its magic on the spot. The ferocious beast took a few steps back as his arm felt a numbing sensation.

Liu Chai’s fighting talent was undoubtedly powerful. When he saw that his attack worked well, he did not slow down. He immediately stepped forward with his right arm deflecting the wooden club, and he forcefully landed a blow onto the chest of the ferocious beast. Subsequently, that punch resulted in the beast retreating.
