Ding dong!
Ding dong ding dong…
Ding ding ding ding ding…
It had only been less than ten seconds since Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat received Vivian's mission reward.
Suddenly, notifications from in-game friends began ringing crazily.
At first, there were only one or two, but as time went on, it began to spread like a plague. After a while, there were all kinds of messages and call requests for Watermelon and the Mage God.
Obviously, their rapid leveling up—no, it should be instant leveling up—had caused a sensation among the closed beta testers.
Of course, this kind of sensation was completely negative. In the beginning, most of the players were just bystanders enjoying themselves while watching the situation unfold.
The reason was simple.
Everyone thought that these two fellows had cheated!
[Dove Fish]: ??? Big Watermelon, how did you suddenly go from Level 9 to Level 11? You jumped two levels in a row? The cheat that you bought has been credited??
[Big Mutt is Not a Dog]: Teacher Mage God, have a good journey. Teacher Watermelon, have a good journey. I will miss you guys.
[Black Critical Hit]: Brother, you're awesome! "Fallen God" is said to be supervised by a super AI. But even so, you've managed to find a loophole. I declare that from now on, this place is called Watermelon! Arena!
[77777]: Treat the Mage God of Close Combat to a cup of
Countless closed beta testers put down the current missions they were working on at the moment and started to refresh their friend list continually. They were waiting to see how long it would take for the two players' names to disappear from the list and be erased by the system.
There were even some people who wanted to stir the pot. They posted betting posts on how long it would take for the super AI of "Fallen God" to invite the two of them to the Banned Hall of Fame.
In the beginning, a group of people participated enthusiastically. Some of them bet less than 10 seconds, some bet 30 seconds, and some bet less than one minute.
This was not strange at all.
After all, 5000 EXP was an astronomical figure for the current closed beta testers. It was a huge amount and it allowed Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat to level up twice.
It should be known that most players had reached a bottleneck during the closed beta testing. It was very difficult for them to obtain EXP by killing low-level monsters and because they did not have a "profession", they could not defeat high-level monsters.
Hence, the only way for the players to gain EXP was to complete missions. The missions here referred to the ordinary and simple daily missions in the village. The difficulty was not high and the rewards were pitifully low. Even if they played for an entire day, they would not be able to earn a few hundred EXP bar.
Everyone's progress had become as slow as a snail's crawl. Why were the two of them able to progress at a rocket-like speed? And even level up within seconds? What was it if it wasn't cheating?
But.
As time passed by slowly.
More and more people could no longer sit still.
"This Super Al is too lousy. It's been ten minutes. Why are they still alive?"
"Is it possible… I'm talking about a possibility that the two of them didn't cheat, but that they really found an awesome mission whose reward allowed them to level up twice consecutively after completing it?"
"Previous poster, how f*cking awesome is this mission to reward so much??"
"Oh no, oh no, so are we the clowns?!"
The forums were in an uproar, and the various friends who had previously said "farewell" to Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat had gone crazy now.
[Dove Fish]: Something's not right. Lord Watermelon, did you really find some way to gain experience? Can you bring me along?! Please, I'm begging you!
[Big Mutt is Not a Dog]: Teacher Watermelon, Teacher Mage God, where are you? Quickly send me the coordinates!
[Black Critical Hit]: Are you here? Name a price.
Name a price? Name your ass!
Ptui!
Weren't you all happily bystanding a moment ago? And you still want to gather intelligence? Ptui! A bunch of bad friends!
After Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat looked at each other, they tacitly chose to close their "friend communication". Instantly, all the messages disappeared and the world returned to peace.
This kind of treasure NPC belonged to them!
No one could think of taking it from them!
If Liao Zixuan knew what was going on in their minds right now, he would definitely give them a hard "Ptui". So my Vivian is no longer the Evil Witch, but a treasure NPC now?
What happened just now indirectly developed a strong sense of crisis in Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat.
Although they were cursing and swearing, they knew very well that an NPC like Vivian, who was obviously restless and would definitely cause trouble, would one day enter the eyes of other players.
When the time came, everyone would know about this little rich Witch. Countless people would fight to be Vivian's dog. Don't underestimate the shamelessness of the players!
In that case, before their competitors appeared, the two of them had to cling to the little girl even more tightly. At the very least, they had to leave an impression on Vivian and let her know that they were the true top dogs!
Sigh, so despicable, so so despicable!
But there was really no choice.
Because… she really gives too much!!
Just think about it, this was only the first stage. The mission chain had just started, and the rewards were already so generous. Then, wouldn't the rest…
"Black, I — I have a feeling those two are looking at me a little — strangely," said the little girl, leaning over to whisper in Liao's wolf ear.
No matter how slow she was, she could clearly feel the two closed beta testers' burning gazes.
Not only did Liao Zixuan not comfort the girl who was a little worried, he even bullied her secretly. He chuckled and teased the little girl.
"Hehe, of course. Our Vivian is so beautiful, they must be interested in you!"
Liao Zixuan quickly regretted what he said.
Just a second ago, he was enjoying her embrace comfortably, but in the next second, he fell to the ground.
"I'm ignoring you!" Vivian puffed up her cheeks and turned her back on Liao Zixuan angrily, not looking at him anymore.
The wolf pup, who was ruthlessly thrown onto the ground, rubbed its little butt pitifully while shaking its head.
"Sigh, you're still too inexperienced. It's only two people now and you can't take it anymore. In the future, you'll become the white moonlight in the hearts of millions of players, oh no, black moonlight!"
"Training. I have to hurriedly train the little girl to be more shameless!"
He would do as he had decided.
Liao Zixuan quickly finished editing the huge trap, ptui… mission that he had meticulously prepared for Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat.
And this time, Liao Zixuan's slogan was "Obediently spit out all the benefits from before"!
