Chapter 46 Learning About The Situation

"What’s the matter, Brother Yuan? Are you full already?" Xiao Hua asked him after noticing that he’d stopped eating the food.

"No... not yet..." Yuan quickly returned to stuffing food into his mouth, but his ears remained perked and focused on the group of players behind him, as he was curious about this ’Player Yuan’ they were mentioning. Surely, they must be talking about someone else who has the same name as him, right? After all, it’s not uncommon for people to have the same name in games nowadays, as they have removed the ’unrepeatable names’ limit for most games these days, allowing players to have whatever name they want without the frustration of changing names because someone had already picked the name before them.

"Though, this Player Yuan sure is quite the mystery. Anyone with a working brain would not hide their existence when there’s so much fame to their name. If he continues to hide his identity, people will eventually forget about him, wasting this massive opportunity to become famous."

"Do you think Player Yuan is actually someone within the Legacy?"

"That’s not possible. Everyone in the Legacy has already announced their identity in the game to the world, and we know that it’s not possible for one person to have two different characters in this game even if they buy two consoles."

"It doesn’t matter who this Player Yuan is! As long as there’s a bounty for his head, everyone will be aiming to PK him!"

’Good heavens, what on earth did this Player Yuan do to make the players so angry?’ Yuan silently pondered to himself as he listened to the players talk.

A few minutes later, when Yuan could no longer contain his curiosity, he turned around and spoke to the players, "Excuse me, can you tell me more about this Player Yuan? What did he do to make the others want to Player Kill him?"

Hearing his question, the players looked at him with a weird expression.

"Hm? You don’t know about Player Yuan? Have you not been on the internet lately? Even people who don’t play the game know about him!" One of them said to them.

"Unfortunately, I haven’t..." Yuan said with a bitter smile.

"Well, Player Yuan is a mysterious player who has been dominating the game with an impossibly fast progression recently, and there are even accusations of him being a cheater."

"A cheater?" Yuan’s eyes widened with surprise. How does one even cheat in this game?

"Is that why people want to PK him? Because he’s cheating?" He then asked.

"That’s only one of many reasons why people want him dead. Well, the biggest reason is that they envy this Player Yuan, who is akin to a god-like existence in this game at this current moment."

"God-like existence?" Yuan expressed awe.

"Of course. He not only has a Divine-grade technique but also a Divine-grade servant! And it hasn’t even been that long since the game launched! It’s no wonder people are calling him a cheater! How else can you progress that fast?!"

"Eh...?" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock after hearing such words. A Divine-grade technique and a Divine-grade servant?

He slowly turned to look at Xiao Hua and swallowed nervously. Surely, it must only be some kind of coincidence...

When the players saw Yuan’s bewildered reaction, they all laughed loudly, "Hahaha! We know exactly how you feel, young man! We also felt the same when we first heard it!"

"However, this Player Yuan is not only powerful, but he’s also incredibly rich, as he’d obtained over 1,000,000 gold coins not long ago, becoming the first person to enter the Wealth Leaderboards!"

"And he even soloed this dungeon recently!"

"..."

Yuan began sweating profusely at their words.

’Heavens! They are really talking about me!’ He cried inwardly after this realization.

"I-I see..." Yuan tried his best to remain calm and said to them, "Thank you for this information, I will now also keep my eyes out for this Player Yuan..."

"Good luck, buddy! We’ll also try our best to find and kill this Player Yuan! But because almost every player is currently looking for him, it won’t be that easy!" The players said to him with bright smiles all over their faces, and they left the restaurant shortly later.

Yuan quickly turned around and continued eating with his back soaked in cold sweat.

’What the hell?! I am definitely not a cheater! How dare people accuse me of cheating when they don’t even know anything?!’

It was at this moment that Yuan swore to keep his identity a secret from the other players, as it would be disastrous if people knew of his real identity. And even if he was powerful enough to defeat other players, he did not want to fight every player that crosses paths with him in the future.

’Why have things become so complicated now? Why must I be hunted by every player in the world because I got a little bit lucky? I only want to enjoy this game like everyone else!’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

However, this situation is something he cannot control, and he could only hope that people will soon forget about him.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hua and Luo Li silently stared at Yuan with a contemplating expression, almost as though they were unable to comprehend Yuan’s conversation with the other players just now. However, they quickly gave up a few seconds later and continued eating as though it wasn’t their concern.

An hour later, Yuan rubbed his round stomach with a satisfied expression. "Ahh, that was amazing..."

Luo Li chuckled and said to him, "What’s even more amazing is Daoist Yuan’s stomach. I did not think you would really eat everything, and I apologize for doubting your ability."

"Young Lady, the bill will be 6 gold coins..." The server said to her afterward.

"I will have someone bring the money over later," she nodded.

A few minutes later, all of the servers and even the cooks in the restaurant came outside to bow to them.

"We thank Young Lady and her friends for their patronage." They said to them.

"What should we do now, Daoist Yuan?" Luo Li asked him after they left the restaurant.

"Let’s return to the Lord’s Manor. I’m too full to do anything right now." Yuan said to her.

"Very well." She nodded.
