Chapter 131: Don’t Look Down Your Nose on Anything

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even if all the members of the two guilds, Huashan and Century Flower, were assembled, it was still impossible for them to conquer a city by normal means.

They could not do it, and the same goes to the other guilds unless someone could gather all the forces of all the major guilds on the mainland. Only by fighting upfront with millions of people would there be the possibility of succeeding.

Scumbag Wang’s idea was far from that of the ordinary people. What others could think of, he could not; what others could not think of, he could.

When he was detained in the small black room, a few of his loyal men had tried to break into jail to free them. The end result was evident. A jailer got rid of them all.

Later, another of his underling went to break into jail, but the result was unexpected. The jailer did not fight back but stood there motionless and was killed by Scumbag Wang’s underling.

That Level 13 underling of Scumbag Wang used three days to kill the jailer, but Scumbag Wang had already come out of prison a day ago...

“Leader Scum, I’ve killed the jailer, can you come out?”

“What’s your name?”

“Leader Scum, my name’s Lonely Perfume.”

“Go be Fengxi’s underling tomorrow. Such low IQ.”

Being bullshitted by Scumbag Wang, Lonely Perfume felt dejected. But what Scumbag Wang said next re-energized him.

“Wait, you’re Level 13, but you killed a Level 60 elite jailer???”

“Yeah, he didn’t fight back. I just used a knife to stab him non-stop...”

Scumbag Wang called Lonely Perfume over and studied him for three days before finally discovering the secret on him.

This secret exhilarated Scumbag Wang so much that he hugged Lonely Perfume and kissed him more than a dozen times. Lonely Perfume was so touched that he swore allegiance to the Huashan Sect. He would belong to the Huashan Sect while he was alive, and even in death, he would be Huashan Sect’s corpse.

In order to test Lonely Perfume’s secret, Scumbag Wang had him slaughter the NPC soldiers in the city, and the result thrilled him. Those foolish NPC soldiers did not fight back at all but were just standing still and getting bashed up.

“The method is feasible!”

Scumbag Wang came to a conclusion, and then he himself tested it. The result was still pleasing.

In reality, this mystery was very simple. The reason why the NPC soldiers did not attack Lonely Perfume was that he had the title, Novice Village Chief No. 251, above his head.

He was a village chief, and so because he had an official position, the NPC soldiers did not attack him.

It was difficult to become a castellan, but becoming a village chief was very easy. Whichever Novice Village you were born in, you just had to go to that Novice Village to participate in the election. When the villagers’ voting rate was over 50%, or when you killed the current NPC Village Chief and were elected before the NPC Village Chief had respawned, you would succeed.

However, for the vast majority of players, becoming a village chief had no advantage. There was no salary, and one had to fork out money to build the village. There wasn’t any welfare benefits, instead one would just get a title.

It took only two days for Scumbag Wang to get himself a title, Novice Village Chief No. 2587. He then went into the city to experiment. The result caused him to be over the moon. No matter how he struck, the NPC soldiers would not retaliate.

This discovery delighted Scumbag Wang. After thinking it through, he developed a plan to collaborate with Century Flower to attack the city and become a castellan.

Hua Feiwu agreed, and the members from the two guilds began to move in, charging into the Novice Villages to compete for the position of a village chief.

In just a few days, the number of village chiefs in the two guilds reached 500+. When these people stood together, it was an exceptionally spectacular scene.

Almost there.

Scumbag Wang and Hua Feiwu felt very pleased. Scumbag Wang then launched a siege against one of the human cities, Wind Capital!

500 village chiefs stormed into Wind Capital, and the NPC soldiers did not stop them at all. They went straight to the Castellan’s residence and carried out a brutal attack against the Castellan of Wind Capital, who had up to 90,000,000 HP.

The Castellan of Wind Capital did not fight back and was killed by the 500 village chiefs just like that. The Castellan’s seal was dropped, and Scumbag Wang went up to pick it up. After 5 minutes of channeling time, the System’s red-words-spam appeared!

[Player Scumbag Wang led a group to attack Wind Capital, subdued Castellan Leghar and obtained the Castellan’s seal. Congratulations Scumbag Wang on becoming the first Castellan player in King of Pantheon.]

It was followed by a bunch of rewards. Skill Points +5, an asset of 2,000,000 Gold Coins (Wind Capital Inventory), Castellan’s special skills, control permission, etc...

Scumbag Wang’s feat caused all the players in King of Pantheon to go crazy.

Many major guilds had attempted to take over a city to become a castellan. Unfortunately, all of them failed without exception. According to the estimation of the senior players in the game, if one were to seize the position of a castellan with combat power, there need to be more than tens of thousands of people who were on average Level 90 and above. There was also a need to study the tactical play only then could one succeed.

The miracle that no one could accomplish was achieved by Scumbag Wang. Just by relying on 500 village chiefs, he was able to take over Wind Capital without any effort.

When Li Yi heard the news, he was so dumbfounded to the point of forgetting to kill monsters.

This was definitely a pioneers work. Using village chiefs to attack a city was something that Li Yi had never heard of before in his past life.

Of course, this was not to say that no one in the past had done this. It was just that such a big bug like this would be automatically fixed by the powerful computing power of Pantheon’s system after it had appeared a few times.

In this life, Scumbag Wang succeeded. This was obviously similar to Li Yi solo-ing the Ice Toad Kings. However, with his IQ, he clearly could not think of this...

After experiencing the sweetness of it, then came the punishment.

Li Yi’s conjecture was not wrong. After Scumbag Wang seized Wind Capital, the village chief bug was immediately repaired, and the other official positions had no more privileges. Take Li Yi for example. He was the soldier captain at Shattered Frost City, but when he reached another city, he would not have any privilege and would just be a normal player.

The System’s penalty was also announced.

Because this incident was extremely vile, all the members who participated in the siege were punished with 15 days of Weak Red Name. In addition, Wind Capital entered a state of ruin, and the Inventory was blocked. One could only deposit money but could not withdraw any. The Castellan’s privilege was only left with one, which was Patrolling, while the rest were all sealed off.

When a city entered a state of ruin, without tens of millions of Gold Coins, it was impossible to turn the situation around. However, to Scumbag Wang, the attack this time was a huge gain.

The position of Castellan remained, and he was still the first Castellan player in King of Pantheon.

There was a great commotion in the official page forum as it was flooded with countless reproaches and rebukes. Many players could not understand, with this kind of serious exploitation of the System’s loopholes, it was still fine if the account was not revoked, but how could the position of Castellan be retained?

The explanation given by the officials was very straightforward. ‘Exploiting bugs and seeking out bugs are of the same principle. We invite all players to look for bugs. Whether you utilize a bug or point out a bug, we will offer a certain reward.’

“Idiot customer service, idiot, idiot!”

“F*ck, I want to seek out bugs and screw you guys!”

The officials made known their stance. So long as you could find a bug, even if you exploit it, they would still give you some reward. Their purpose naturally was to improve the rules.

In this world that was full of love, anything that could not possibly happen could happen...

Li Yi held firmly to this belief.

Even the resetting of life could happen, what was that compared with Scumbag Wang seizing the title of Castellan with 500 village chiefs?

In this siege, the biggest loss went to Hua Feiwu. He was in a really pitiful state. He did not acquire anything and yet, he had to suffer the 15-days of Weak Red Name penalty.

“Brother Hua, rest assured when your bro’s Castellan’s privilege are all unsealed, I’ll be sure to confer you with an official title.”

“Hopefully...” Hua Feiwu’s spirit could not be lifted up at all.

“Oh right, why isn’t our sister online these few days? I can’t help wondering.”

“I’m not sure too. I’ll go off first. Gonna go out and get some fresh air.”

Hua Feiwu went offline, while Scumbag Wang roamed about in Wind Capital, feeling smug with the title, Castellan of Wind Capital, above his head.

Because of him, the entire city entered a state of ruin, which directly led to all the NPCs in the city expressing a distaste for him. His approval rating was zero, the combat power of the NPC soldiers was reduced by 10 times, the price of goods sold by NPCs increased by 30%, the tax increased by 10%, and the EXP quest reward from the Wind Capital NPCs was reduced by 10%.

“If I don’t kill Scumbag Wang, I’ll be letting his parents down!”

The players who settled their homes in Wind Capital were furious. This incident had nothing to do with them, but they had to suffer this unexpected calamity. They were all pissed.

Because Scumbag Wang’s approval rating was zero, even if other players killed him in front of the NPC soldiers, the NPC soldiers would not lend a hand to help. In just one day, Scumbag Wang had died no less than twenty times. But in order to show off his Castellan title, he persisted on going to the streets. If you kill me, I’ll corpse-run to the same spot. If you have the ability to continue, I will accompany you.

The event of Scumbag Wang attacking the city had a huge impact. Many large-sized guilds were inspired by this incident and had begun to formulate besieging plans. There were even a few radical guilds that had already begun to act.

Because the Star Fire Guild’s home station was outside of Wind Capital, this incident also indirectly affected the Star Fire Guild. The items in the city became expensive, and the EXP quest reward was also lessened. This cause everyone in the Star Fire Guild to berate non-stop and could not wait to tear Scumbag Wang to shreds.

“You should step down.” Yang Xingchen found Wang’er and frankly explained his intention.

“What for?”

“All the Castellan’s privilege are completely sealed. It doesn’t matter if you’re the Castellan or not, but don’t affect other people.”

If Scumbag Wang stepped down at this moment, the position of Castellan would be returned. Although the city would still be in a state of ruin, there would still be a day when it would recover to its original state. But if it was under Scumbag Wang’s control, would that day even arrive?

“Are you threatening me? Hehe, Yang Xingchen, you know my temper well. I, Wang’er, am famed for not being enticed by the carrot or being browbeaten by the stick. I’m telling you, there’s no point in threatening me.”

Scumbag Wang suddenly gave a shriek, and 30 over Weak Red Name underlings rushed up and surrounded Yang Xingchen.

“...”

Yang Xingchen rubbed his forehead and spoke no more. He shook his sleeve and went away.

Scumbag Wang smugly ordered one of his men, “Go to the official page to make an announcement. The title will be called ‘The Castellan of Wind Capital’s shriek repelled Yang Xingchen’.”

“Leader Scum, brilliant, really brilliant. Previously there was Dark Wing who aggressively repelled the Savages, and now, there’s Leader Scum’s shriek defeating Xingchen!”

The admiration of Scumbag Wang’s men for him once again rose to a whole new level.
