From Sidekick to Bigshot

Before An Yang could react, the screen was filled with messages of the word [Boss.]

In fact, there were some people who started to beg to be taken in as a lackey.

[Boss please take me in. Please carry me. It won’t take much effort for you to carry me !]

[Boss, would you mind taking on two more lackeys? I respect you a lot!]

[Boss, please help me gain elo! I’m your biggest fan! I’ll be your little brother even though I’m two years older than you!]

[…]

On An Yang’s side, the lackeys behind him were standing there awkwardly.

They didn’t know what to do.

An Yang was their boss. Now that their boss had lost… This meant that he had to recognize someone else as his boss.

And what was worse was that the person that he had lost to did not look like a boss in any way shape or form.

“Brother Yang, umm… Why don’t we just forget about it?”

“Yes, yes. Brother Yang, let’s just say that it was a joke. Just admit defeat and laugh it off. There’s no need to call someone like Jian Yiling boss!”

An Yang’s lackeys and friends began to advise An Yang. They did this despite knowing that it was against An Yang’s code of conduct to go back on his word.

However, it was still better than having to listen to a little girl in the future, right?

Never in a thousand years would they have thought that An Yang would lose in the game that he was most proud of.

An Yang wanted Jian Yiling to apologize to his goddess. However, now, he had ruined everything.

“I can’t do that. The most important thing for me is to keep my word! I vowed to do so! How can I not keep my word?”

An Yang was very insistent on this point.

“Um… Why don’t we find another excuse then? Like we could ask for a rematch or something?”

“No! If I do that, it’s basically just refusing to accept the defeat! I won’t do such unmanly things!”

“Then… Brother Yang… Are you actually going… Going to accept Jian Yiling as your boss?”

“What else can I do? I’m the one who said it! I’m a man of my word!”

“But… But isn’t she the person that your goddess hates? If you accept her as your boss, what will your goddess think? What do we do about that?”

That was indeed a big problem.

“Well, I’ll explain to her later!”

Either way, An Yang had to be a man of his word. He refused to go back on his word.

And thus, An Yang gritted down on his teeth and typed out the word for everyone to see: [Boss.]

Everyone there immediately went crazy.

[Aaaaaah! An Yang called Jian Yiling boss! I’m going crazy!!!]

[I can’t handle this anymore! I’m already imagining the image of An Yang bowing down to Jian Yiling and shouting out ‘Boss’!]

[That image sounds incredible! I want to see that!]

The excitement was already building up with just the Internet. It was going to be hectic at school tomorrow!

Everyone was looking forward to the next day.

At this moment, An Yang sent another message: [I changed our character relationship. Please confirm.]

‘Zerg Invasion’ provided a system to allow custom character relationship settings.

An Yang did what he said. He had set Jian Yiling’s account to [Don’t Bother Me Unless Necessary’s Boss.] He was waiting for Jian Yiling to confirm.

However, Jian Yiling replied: [This isn’t my account. Let me switch to my account.]

Oh? The account was borrowed?

However, An Yang didn’t think too much of it. Instead, he replied: [Okay. Switch to your account then. I’ll reset it.]

Then, Jian Yiling logged out of Hu Jiaojiao’s account. She also closed the live stream on her side.

An Yang waited for a while before he received a request to join the lobby:

[Player J10 requested to join the room.]
