MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Panda Novel

Following the system notification, the Dragon Emperor Palace suddenly started trembling.

Shortly after, Wang Yu felt as though he was standing in a lift as he could feel that the Dragon Emperor Palace was moving upwards rapidly.

After a full ten seconds, the Dragon Emperor Palace finally stopped moving. At that moment, the golden wall from the centre of the palace turned into golden dust rapidly as it dispersed into the air.

After that, the Dragon Emperor Palace disappeared and Wang Yu saw the bluish-green sea and blue sky. That was when Wang Yu realised that the Dragon Emperor Palace was actually on the sea.

When Wang Yu saw that the Dragon Emperor Palace was about to disappear completely, he hurriedly extended his wings and started flying. All of a sudden, Wang Yu sensed the darkness in front of him and felt as though there was unlimited pressure on his head.

Wang Yu was taken aback as he lifted his head to look. All he saw was a massive floating island above his head.

There was only one island which could be floating in the air. That was the Dragon Island and so it turned out that the Dragon Emperor Palace was right below the Dragon Island.

“This is odd…” Wang Yu couldn’t wrap his head around it.

Evidently, the Dragon Race was a massive and formidable race. The hierarchy of society was very primitive, so how could the palace of the Holy Dragon Emperor be beneath the Dragon Island?

Just when Wang Yu couldn’t understand anything, an announcement was flashed across the sky.

<System Notification: Sky Dragon City has been destroyed and the seal suppressing Dragon Island has been loosened. An unknown player has unintentionally released the seals Holy Dragon Emperor while completing a quest which activated a unique plot “Dragon Island’s Disgrace.”

The game shall be refreshed thirty minutes later to launch the new materials of the rise of the Dragon Race. Players are to leave the game within thirty minutes. The company shall not be held responsible for any loss of data for players who do not leave the game in the next thirty minutes.

“Rise of the Dragon Race? F*ck! Don’t tell me they are going to open up Dragon Island?” Hearing this news, all the players were boiling with emotions.

Dragon Island was one of the highest level training venues and the monsters there were minimally level 80. Players of the current stage were only at an average level of 45. Opening up Dragon Island seemed a little too early.

In fact, even the GMs of the gaming company panicked a little.

“What? Why is it releasing new materials all of a sudden? Heavenly Dragon is dead? Dales has been released? What on earth is happening?”

Heavenly Dragon being a traitor and massacring everyone in the city was a level 100 scene and the opening up of Dragon Island was something after that. Currently, it was clear that these materials were released way ahead of schedule. Could it be a mistake in computing?

Therefore, the GMs panicked and started checking all the materials.

The outcome was predictable because there were no abnormalities after checking the system. They managed to trace back to the main culprit of this and found out that it was Wang Yu.

“Why… why is it this fella again?” After seeing Wang Yu’s familiar face, the monitoring crew almost burst out in tears.

Every time this fella appeared, he would be causing troubles… In the past, he was merely causing a small commotion every now and then which didn’t bother everyone else. However, he actually triggered the opening up of new materials from Dragon Island all by himself. Wasn’t he trying to destroy some people’s livelihood?

One must know after every company’s initial launch, other than patches to discover new BUGs, the materials should be able to last two years. This was to give the company enough time to come up with more scenarios to constantly attract and draw more players…

However, the server had only been opened for half a year and the Dragon Island’s materials were released. Wasn’t this trying to force the game developers to their death? At this point in time, the developing team was basically cursing Wang Yu so badly.

However, Wang Yu didn’t have time to think about all these.

“???”

Looking at the system announcement, Wang Yu was completely stupefied.

From the meaning of the announcement, it felt as though he had committed a huge mistake or crime. Unless he was tricked by Dales from the very beginning??

At the thought of this, scenes of this quest suddenly rushing into Wang Yu’s head. From how Dales assigned him the quest to spotting the Dragon Island’s location from the Magician Tower and to the tears of Heavenly Dragon before his death.

Wang Yu finally came to his senses. Sky Dragon City was the seal that trapped Dragon Island in the sea while Heavenly Dragon was the most important NPC in charge of protecting the seal. As for his own trial quest, it must have been palmed off by Dales. From Simba the Divine Smith, Wang Yu knew that high-level intelligent NPCs had the authority to give out the rewards in his hands as other quest rewards.

Now that Heavenly Dragon was dead and Sky Dragon City had been massacred, Wang Yu realised that he had been used by Dales and that he had turned into Dales’ hitman.

After realising the truth, Wang Yu was infuriated. Wang Yu betrayed his own conscience to kill Heavenly Dragon and he would never have imagined himself doing that for such a dirty character.

“You, how dare you lie to me?” An infuriated Wang Yu pointed fingers at Dales.

If it was during normal circumstances, Wang Yu wouldn’t be so angry after being duped by an NPC. However, this time was different. Wang Yu felt incredibly guilty over Heavenly Dragon’s death and now he realised that he was used by someone else to do something so evil. Wang Yu’s fury was understandable.

Ever since Wang Yu started playing the game, this was the first time he was so mad about a virtual NPC.

In the face of Wang Yu’s anger, Dales simply laughed out loud, “Hahahaha, little baby you’re really cute! I’ve been sealed under the Dragon Island after being enticed by Heavenly Dragon using the golden palace. I’ve been sealed for over a thousand years and I’ve finally regained my freedom so I’m feeling great! You better scram before I slaughter you too!”

After saying that, Dales stretched his back and flew to the shore. After that, he started stroking his hair using the reflection of the water.

Looking at how arrogant Dales was and that he could even disregard his master, Wang Yu chased after Dales and said, “You are my entourage so where do you think you’re heading to?”

“Entourage? Based on your abilities? Hahaha!” Dales turned around and raised his palm to slap him.

After playing the game for such a long time, Wang Yu had never heard of an entourage being able to hit the master. Seeing Dales’ palm flying over, Wang Yu released an [Energy Shield] and jumped back.

“Boom!”

Dales’s palm landed on Wang Yu’s arm as the Energy Shield was destroyed. Wang Yu could feel a surge of energy towards him as he was sent flying over ten metres out. He only managed to dissolve Dales’ energy that far away and landed safely.

After landing, Wang Yu stared at Dales with a sense of helplessness.

After meeting and fighting so many BOSS, nobody ever made Wang Yu feel this way. This was even true for Heavenly Dragon whom Wang Yu had the confidence of defeating. However, one exchange of blows with Dales made him realise that this person was definitely not someone he could deal with now.

At this moment, Dales was also shocked that his palm did not manage to hurt Wang Yu.

Even though Dales had no intention to kill Wang Yu, he attacked with the intention to warn Wang Yu not to mess with him any further. Therefore, he merely wanted to leave Wang Yu in a state of near-death but who knew that this fella could come out unharmed?!
