Chapter 125 - Most Wanted
Ding!
<You have set your assistant's nickname to Little Sh*t>
<Do you wish to confirm the change? Y / N>
A notification window suddenly popped up before Albion immediately gawked awkwardly, "Ahem, it was a joke. Don't take it seriously."
Ding!
<You have set your assistant's nickname to Ahem, It Was A Joke. Don't Take it Seriously>
<Do you wish to confirm the change? Y / N>
"…"
Albion fell silent for a moment before asking the mini AI with an exasperated expression, "Are you f*cking with me, right now?"
"Impartial Goddess does not understand the question. Can the Esteemed Hunter repeat the question more clearly?"
"…Forget it."
…
Meanwhile, the surviving crowd of participants kept their distance from Albion while being preoccupied with sudden notifications windows popping out in front of them.
Similarly, the spectators were all dealing with the same issue after numerous mini Impartial Goddesses appeared to negotiate with them.
Ding!
<You are being watched by the Hunter Association>
<The Hunter Association requests for your silence regarding all information and events pertaining to the Level 5 user, TheStrongestWizard>
<Compensation reward: 50 EXP, and 50,000 credits>
<Do you accept? Y / N>
Thousands of participants and spectators immediately signed the non-disclosure agreement with the Hunter Association on the spot before discussions broke out in the area.
"Did you all sign the agreement already?"
"Yes, of course. Why? You haven't done it yet?"
"Che, amateurs. Of course, I haven't. Since the Impartial Goddess is mediating non-disclosure agreements with all of us, it means that the Hunter Association does not want the news of Wizard to spread. Don't you know what this implies?"
"???"
"It implies that the person is very important! This means there room for us to haggle with Impartial Goddess for bigger compensation. Of course, it is already too late for you."
The opportunistic Hunter smirked before turning to the mini Impartial Goddess on his hand.
"Impartial Goddess, I am not satisfied with the compensation. I demand more compensation!"
<Compensation reward is being updated>
<Ding! Compensation reward: 55 EXP, and 55,000 credits>
<Do you accept? Y / N>
"No, I want more!" The opportunistic Hunter spouted greedily, not satisfied with the updated amount of compensation.
<Compensation reward is being updated>
<Ding! Compensation reward: 60 EXP, and 60,000 credits>
<Do you accept? Y / N>
"No, more! Give me more! I want more!!" the opportunistic Hunter roared with greedy glints of excitement in his eyes.
The impassive-look mini Impartial Goddess's expression suddenly turned cold before she spouted, "Being too greedy is not good."
Ding!
<You have declined to sign the non-disclosure agreement>
<You will now be viewed as a criminal by the Hunter Association>
<A bounty has been placed on your head. Each death will result in a deduction of 1000 credits from your personal account>
<The logout function has been disabled for 7 days>
<Forceful removal of the VR helmet by a third party will result in permanent brain damage to the user with potential risks of falling into a vegetative state or worse, death>
After listening to each notification, the opportunistic Hunter paled with fright before quickly saying, "Wait! I was just joking! I will accept the non-disclosure agreement!"
Nevertheless, the mini Impartial Goddess glanced at the greedy Hunter indifferently and said, "May the Goddess of the Hunt smiles upon you. Try not to die too much."
Shortly after, the greedy Hunter was forcefully booted from the battle arena room before a mail was sent to every Hunter.
Ding!
<Level 2 user, BeggarSectMaster, is now a wanted criminal>
<You may attack this user in any safe zone>
<Bounty: 1000 credits per kill>
Several dozens of Hunters had intended to follow in the greedy Hunter's footstep and haggle with their mini Impartial Goddesses for maximum benefits.
But after they witnessed the brutal punishment that would be awaiting them down this path, they immediately dropped the idea and accepted their agreements on the spot.
"Haiz… 50,000 credits is still good…"
"Yeah… It's not good to be too greedy…"
Several Hunters wiped their sweats, thinking they had narrowly avoided a disaster before a surviving participant suggested, "Let's just wrap up this match and leave. I can't wait to spend these—"
"Super-Duper Serious Punch—!"
Suddenly, Albion's mighty shout rang in the ears of all surviving participants before the ground shook fiercely with large web-like cracks spreading everywhere, forming fissures and swallowing everyone inside.
Boom!
After the cracks spread to every corner of the map, the entire King of the Hill exploded into fragments under the might of Albion's full-powered Earth-Shattering Fist!
Most of the Hunters quickly died in the boiling pit of lava hidden underneath the map, while others were killed by flying rocks and chunks of earthen fragments that slammed against the spectating barrier and shook it fiercely like it going to collapse.
Ding!
<Time elapsed: 23mins 47secs>
<Remaining participants: 8632?1>
Within a short instance, the number of participants was reduced to a single person, Albion, who was seen hovering in midair with Basic-level Flight.
Ding!
<Congratulations! Battle Royale's winner, TheStrongestWizard!>
<You have received 100 EXP for winning the Battle Royale>
<The prize pool will be credited to your account shortly>
<Ding! You have received 20,798,000 credits>
<Your current balance is 10,020,798,000 credits>
After the notifications finished, Albion's body disappeared from the broken map before returning to his original spot in Beginner City.
"The match finally over. Feels so good to stretch these muscles without holding back." Albion stretched his limbs while muttering, "Still, it was one hell of an experience—"
+1 EXP
+1 EXP
<You have leveled up!>
+1 EXP
+1 EXP
<You have leveled up!>
+1 EXP
…
Albion was suddenly spammed with hundreds—No, thousands of EXP notifications!
In fact, there were so many +1 EXP notifications that it might have actually been in the tens of thousands!
"Where am I getting all these EXPs from?" Albion's eyes widened with shock and surprise before asking himself, "Should I be worried?!"
Ding!
<You have killed 20,192 innocent bystanders>
<You have reached level 9 Infamy (Max)>
<Your status 'Neutral' has been changed to 'Notorious Criminal'>
<Safe zones will no longer protect you. Any player can attack you, and no NPC will be willing to interact with you>
After listening to the notifications, Albion's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he gaped in disbelief.
"What da hell? Don't tell me… I broke the map and PK'd all the spectators as well?!" Albion exclaimed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
