Chapter 45 – Conflict

She had actually just bought the helmet under Weiwei's strong persuasion and hadn't even started playing yet. It was the first time she spent so much money on something, especially on gaming equipment, and she felt guilty for spending her brother's hard-earned money. That's why she called her brother.

After listening to Wu Ziyin, Wu Shaochen smiled and shook his head. Making money in the game isn't as easy as it seems. Although he had earned millions in just a few days, it was because he was ahead of everyone else. It's hard to say if the average player could keep up.

However, Wu Shaochen didn't want to dampen Wu Ziyin's enthusiasm. It was rare for her to be interested in a game, and he was happy about it. As for affecting her studies, Wu Shaochen wasn't worried at all. Wu Ziyin had strong self-discipline and had always excelled in her studies. Even if it did affect her studies, he didn't mind supporting her in the future. His sister, his responsibility.

"Yeah, this game is pretty good. You should give it a try," Wu Shaochen said.

"Brother, aren't you mad at me for spending money recklessly?" Wu Ziyin asked curiously.

"Why would I be mad? I'm playing this game too. You should play games sometimes; reading all the time will turn you into a bookworm," Wu Shaochen teased.

"You're the bookworm. By the way, brother, can I see you in the game no matter how far apart we are?" Wu Ziyin asked.

"Yes, this game is just like reality. Once you reach the main city, we can meet just like in real life," Wu Shaochen replied.

"That's great! I haven't seen you in so long," Wu Ziyin instantly became interested in the game.

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. After the call, Wu Ziyin looked at the game helmet in her hands with curiosity.

At this moment, Weiwei walked into the room and smiled at Wu Ziyin, "Interested now? You were so reluctant to buy it just a moment ago."

Wu Ziyin blushed slightly and said, "Weiwei, teach me how to play this game. I want to go in and find my brother."

"What's your brother's game ID? He must be a pro, right? I'll add him as a friend, and you should ask him to help me out," Weiwei said.

"Uh, I forgot to ask," Wu Ziyin said, embarrassed.

"……"

With Weiwei's help, Wu Ziyin finally understood how to enter the game, then put on the helmet for her first game entry.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Shaochen quickly re-entered the game, appearing in Jinling City. The city was bustling with activity. Wu Shaochen wandered around for a bit before heading towards the South Gate, planning to check out the so-called Tiger King in Tiger's Roar Forest.

Upon reaching the South Gate, Wu Shaochen walked straight towards Tiger's Roar Forest. There were people everywhere, so he couldn't move at full speed.

However, Wu Shaochen soon noticed something was off. People around him seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally moving towards him.

Wu Shaochen simply stood still, curious to see what was going on.

Soon, a large group of people surrounded Wu Shaochen, but they didn't approach him, just encircled him from a distance.

In the crowd, Wu Shaochen spotted a familiar figure—Brother Hao, whom he had killed last time. Wu Shaochen knew that when a player was killed, the killer's name would be revealed. However, with his gear completely overhauled and a new mask, he was puzzled about how they identified him.

Wu Shaochen wasn't in a hurry to leave; he wanted to know where he had slipped up. So he stood there for a while, and soon, the main person appeared—a young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old with an arrogant look, followed by more than ten people, slowly approaching Wu Shaochen.

The young man leading the group extended his hand with a smile towards Wu Shaochen, "Hello, Chen Feng, nice to meet you. I'm Ao Shi Tianxia, I've heard a lot about you."

Wu Shaochen didn't shake his hand but asked with a puzzled expression, "The president of Proud Heroes? We don't seem to have any interactions, and how are you sure I'm Chen Feng?"

Ao Shi Tianxia withdrew his hand, his expression darkening slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Our Proud Heroes have tens of thousands of members in Jinling City. Finding one person isn't too difficult," he said with immense confidence.

"Oh, is there something you need?" Wu Shaochen didn't deny it. Since the other party had come with such fanfare, they must have confirmed his identity, so there was no point in denying it. It would be exposed sooner or later anyway.

"Not much, just wanted to invite you to join our Proud Heroes and develop together," Ao Shi Tianxia said with a slight smile, seeing that Wu Shaochen didn't deny it.

"Not interested," Wu Shaochen said bluntly. He didn't have a good impression of Proud Heroes, from that so-called Brother Hao to their current way of surrounding him. He disliked it. No matter what top ten guild they were, at least for now, in the game, he was still a god.

"I advise you to think it over. Jinling City is our Proud Heroes' territory," Ao Shi Gufeng said before Ao Shi Tianxia could speak.

Ao Shi Tianxia pretended to stop Ao Shi Gufeng, smiling at Wu Shaochen, "Brother, if you join Proud Heroes, I can offer you a vice president position. I believe you're a smart person and won't pass up such a good opportunity."

"Not interested, move aside," Wu Shaochen said calmly.

"I only recognize two kinds of people: allies and enemies. Are you sure you want to be our enemy? Have you thought about the consequences?" Ao Shi Tianxia said with narrowed eyes and a sinister tone.

"Heh, not joining you means being your enemy? If that's the case, I really want to see what the consequences of being your enemy are," Wu Shaochen said indifferently. It wasn't that he looked down on them; these people wouldn't waste much of his time.

By now, the crowd of onlookers had grown to thousands. They had all come to catch a glimpse of the legendary Chen Feng. Although they weren't sure if the person in front of them was indeed Chen Feng, seeing him directly confront Proud Heroes excited them immensely.

Proud Heroes didn't have a good reputation in Jinling City. Their territorial control and boss snatching had long caused countless grievances. However, due to their large numbers, people had to swallow their anger. Now, seeing someone finally stand up to Proud Heroes, they were naturally thrilled, and many immediately started recording the game.

"Young Miss, Proud Heroes have surrounded Chen Feng with hundreds of people at the South Gate, and the situation is tense," Uncle Liu reported to Su Muxue.

"Are you sure it's Chen Feng?" Su Muxue paused her actions, her tone less indifferent.

"Not sure, but it's highly likely. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare confront Proud Heroes," Uncle Liu speculated.

"Take me to see!" Su Muxue put down the half-finished monster she was fighting.

"Uh, okay." Uncle Liu was momentarily taken aback. The Young Miss's reaction seemed a bit excessive.

Upon hearing Wu Shaochen's words, Ao Shi Tianxia's face darkened, "In that case, I'll pull this so-called god down from the shrine."

With that, he waved his hand, and hundreds of Proud Heroes members charged at Wu Shaochen. Some launched ranged attacks as soon as they were within range, while Ao Shi Tianxia and Ao Shi Gufeng retreated from the battle. Although they spoke as if they didn't take Chen Feng seriously, they were still wary of his reputation and opted for swarm tactics, which were often effective against experts.

Wu Shaochen watched them retreat without stopping them. If he really wanted to, they wouldn't escape. But Wu Shaochen wanted them to experience despair, and the best way was to watch their subordinates fall one by one.

Soon, countless arrows and spells hit Wu Shaochen, but they only resulted in despair-inducing damage numbers.

"Whoa... How is this possible? Is he still an assassin?" Ao Shi Jueqing exclaimed in shock.

Ao Shi Tianxia and the other core members of Proud Heroes were also in disbelief. Didn't they say last time that Zihao and the others could deal dozens of damage to him? Why is it now all unbreakable defense?

Even the surrounding players found it unbelievable. Could it be that Chen Feng had maxed out his constitution points?
