My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Chapter 281: Live Online Games

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lonemoon panted. This game felt so much like real life. In that moment, he really thought he was about to die. He looked at his hands in confusion. Was that... his in-game skills?

“Father Niu?” Suddenly, he heard Shen Ying’s voice by his ear.

He looked around but could not find anyone around him. A moment later, he noticed an icon of a yellow envelope in the bottom right corner of his vision. He instinctively tapped it

There was a swiping sound and a screen bounced out of the envelope. Shen Ying was on the screen.

“Where the hell were you?!” Lonemoon exploded in rage. “What kind of rotten place is this? And what the hell was that beast earlier?”

“You’re in a newbie testing area. Before you passed the test, I could not contact you.”

Newbie area? He looked around once again and glanced at the beast that had now become ashes. Aside from its hideous looks, the beast was weak enough to be considered a low-level beast. This holographic game was too real.

“Did I pass? How do I get out?”

“You have a movement icon on your lower left corner.”

Lonemoon looked down and indeed saw that there was a little green man on his bottom left. He tapped it immediately. There was a white flash of light and in a blink of an eye, he found himself in the midst of green hills and water. In front of him were several tables and chairs with different types of fruits laid out. Shen Ying was seated on one of the chairs, munching noisily on a fruit.

“Why didn’t you tell me that I would be tested?” Lonemoon tried his hardest to hold back his anger.

“You didn’t wait for me to say anything.” Shen Ying tilted her head. He entered the game way too quickly. “But that was a test for newbies. Nobody would fail.”

Lonemoon rolled his eyes and picked up a fruit, biting down on it. It was sweet and juicy. His tastebuds were overwhelmed. Shocked, he glanced at the fruit in his hand. “This fruit is so realistic.” This game was living up to its status as a game of the Star network. The holographs seemed very realistic.

“Realistic?” Shen Ying paused.

“Yeah!” Lonemoon answered while chewing. “And that beast – even its smell and sound seemed real.”

“Father Niu...” Shen Ying suddenly got to her feet and snatched the fruit from his hand. “You don’t think all of this is fake, do you?”

Lonemoon looked at her curiously. “Isn’t this a holographic online game?”

“It is an online game, but... it’s not holographic.”

“Not holographic? You mean it’s real...” He paused mid-sentence and sucked in a sharp breath. “Holy shit!”

——————

“We’re not on Earth?”

“Yes.”

“Where is this place?”

“District C, Planet A8726.”

“Your lightbrain is...”

“A transportation equipment.”

“Everything here is real?”

“Yes.”

“F*ck, didn’t you say this was a game?”

“It’s the game planet!”

He pondered about the scene he saw earlier on. “If this was a game, and I died here, can I re-”

“The Star Alliance will send the notice of death.”

“...” Flips table! What kind of game is this! Game my foot! Could it still be called a game if he was to fight real monsters, and if he could not be revived after dying?

What’s more...

“Does your older sister know that we’ve transported to this planet?”

Shen Ying shivered. A moment later, she answered, “Let’s not be too concerned with these details!”

“...” Details my ass! Do you know you could die here?

She waved the wristband. “We have a transportation equipment. We can get back in seconds!”

“...” He gave a suspicious expression.

Wait a moment!

Lonemoon suddenly recalled something.

“Didn’t you say that no one would fail the newbie test? Why did I meet such a huge beast?” No average person would be able to fight that beast, right?

“This could be related to your standard. The newbie test is personalised according to each person’s standard and therefore different for everyone.” Shen Ying opened a screen which displayed all of Lonemoon’s data. The last result showed that Lonemoon’s standard was SSS.

“What kind of standard is 3S?” Lonemoon stared at the screen, confused. When Shen Jing checked on him earlier, he saw the same standard displayed on the screen. “Is everyone on Earth of this standard?”

“No!” Shen Ying shook her head. She picked out another set of data. “This is the data of an average person on Earth.”

Lonemoon looked to the last page and saw that it was written: F...

“...” What did that line of numbers mean? Was this a joke? The numbers for everyone else on Earth was so low, yet why was his so high? “You didn’t cheat for me, did you?”

Shen Ying shook her head. “This is your data.”

“Why is it like that?” Lonemoon paused. “My present skills wouldn’t allow me to fight that beast. What’s more, if not for the game’s automatic fire-elemental skills, I would have died!”

“There are no automatic responses in the game.”

“Nonsense – I made use of it earlier. If they’re not automatic skills, could it be my own...” Lonemoon’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re not saying that I brought my cultivation level into this world as well, are you?”

Shen Ying looked at him like he was retarded. “Did you not try to use sorcery ever since you returned?”

“How could that be? On the first day I returned, I felt no spirit Qi nor immortal Qi in this world at all.”

“There isn’t any.”

“Yeah, then why...”

Wait a moment!

He fell silent. Whether there was immortal Qi in the surroundings did not have any effect on his cultivation level. Cultivators used their own sorcery to activate the aura and skills within their own bodies. In other words, his cultivation level was not affected at all. The only catch was he could not increase his cultivation level.

He felt a sudden excitement well up in his chest. He conjured a sword technique and a bunch of swords appeared in the air, just like rain.

Lonemoon: “...”

It was almost like he found a treasure.

“Shen Ying...”

“Yes?”

“Can I go back to the newbie testing area and kill that little beast all over again?” Damn it, if he knew he still had his cultivation, he would not have been so afraid of that beast!

“...” F*cking retards!

Lonemoon wanted to ask more about the game planet when Shen Ying suddenly transferred a whole bunch of information to him. They were all about strategies for people who were new to the game. After looking through the information, Lonemoon began to understand.

Just as Shen Ying said, this was a game planet. Yet, it was the kind that existed in real-life. There was no such thing as revival, no red and blue pills, and no beasts falling from the sky. But there were ranking points and statistics for the beasts.

There are several different races on the planet, as well as different planet beasts. The entire planet was split into six districts F to A, as well as a highly dangerous district S. Inside, the beasts were all split according to different standards. The District F beasts were the weakest, while the District S beasts were the strongest. They were now at District S.

The beast that Lonemoon met with at the newbie training area was a characteristic S-grade Ice Rock Beast on the game planet. As long as a beast dies, it would automatically belong to the player who killed it. The player could choose to sell the beast to the game company or deal with it himself.

The skills that players could employ to kill the beasts all depended on the race of each player. In other words, Lonemoon who was of battle grade SSS was a top player from the beginning.

“Father Niu, let’s go and slaughter beasts!” Shen Ying suggested.

“Slaughter?” Lonemoon, who was digesting how the game worked, tapped his wristband. The next moment, four or five lists appeared on his screen, each of them containing different players’ rankings. “You’re talking about this?”

“Yes!” Shen Ying nodded furiously. “Killing beasts helps you to accumulate points and you can later exchange them for star currency.” Then they could buy more food.

“...” Somehow, he felt like he was cheating.
