Samsara Online

The players, overwhelmed by the surprise and mixed emotions, began to retreat gradually; after all, they couldn't stay there forever. After seeing Shiva's act today, all the players present had come to the same conclusion, in other words; a single player can actually defy an army and impose his or her words over the rest!

You have to know that all the players, unconsciously, looked at Xie Yao as if they were looking at the crown of a king; you can appreciate it from afar and admire its beauty but you can never touch it or else you will die terribly.

They all had three goals in common:

1) To level up quickly and do their best to get better equipment. These were the two fastest ways to increase the strength of the players. Of course, the hidden classes or the unique classes was probably the best way to get a big boost in stats... But such classes were something you could want but not ask for; it depended on your luck and destiny.

2) To boast to their friends and acquaintances about the war they had witnessed. Seeing the action live was completely different than watching the show on a screen!

3) Share their videos! With thousands of players recording from different angles, after being edited by some internet geek, a masterpiece would surely be born!

Several minutes after all the players started to leave, Mu Wuying looked at Xie Feng with a slight smile on her face and also walked away with the female players accompanying her.

Except for a few still curious players, the only players left in the area were; Xie Feng, Gu Qianxue, and Yang Tian.

"Yang Tian, I will send you a friend request" Xie Feng suddenly said.

Yang Tian rolled his eyes: "Now do you want to add me to your list of friends? Are you bipolar?" Even as he was mumbling grumbles, he accepted the friend request.

[Ding!... Player 'Yang Tian' has accepted your friend request and has been successfully added to your list of friends.]

Xie Feng looked at Yang Tian and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I will contact you soon. As much as possible, try to keep an eye on your communication tool."

Yang Tian simply shrugged his shoulders. Without saying another word, he turned around and began to walk away casually. He came as he wanted and left as he wanted.

Seeing Yang Tian's free and unfettered attitude, Xie Feng could not help but smile, "That guy is really interesting..."

"Hehe~ If another player listens to the almighty Shiva, the Chinese server God of War praising someone else, they'd probably be so surprised that they wouldn't fall asleep at night." Gu Qianxue's playful voice made Xie Feng look at her astonished.

"Stop kidding me, girl... Besides, what's this 'God of War' stuff about the Chinese server?"

Gu Qianxue continued to look at the digital screen in front of her with a seemingly proud smile and did not answer Xie Feng's question. After a moment of silence, she looked at Xie Feng with a playful smile and showed him the screen that she was looking at earlier.

"Although it has only been about ten minutes since it all ended, you are already a celebrity in all of China and will probably be world famous by the time the sun sets on the horizon... Hehehe."

'Amazing war in the vicinity of Eminentis City: 1 vs 10,000!'

Xie Feng gulped audibly and shakily moved his hand to enter into the post. He was immediately assaulted by all kinds of comments.

"First!"

"In reply to the first comment: Do you want me to give you a cake or something? Here, have a piece of bread. Now go drink your hot milk."

"Shiva, the strongest player on the Chinese server!"

"To the guy above; friend, you mean the whole world! Do you think anyone else in the whole world can do something like that?"

"To the two guys above; instead, we should think of a title for Shiva!"

"God of War"

"One-man army"

"Forget it, One-man army is the name of a player. If you do that you'll probably piss off Shiva."

"Kyaa~ Lord Shiva, I want your children!"

"Hey you, the wild woman above! You're in the wrong place!"

"Hi mom!"

Although only a few minutes had passed, the number of comments was too much to count. Many players praised him and naturally, there were other players who accused him of being a cheater. Comments like for example:

"Hey, really? A level 16 player causing almost 2000 damage?"

"What about that triple damage?"

"Clearly he is abusing some bug in the system!"

"The staff should do something about it!"

Although there were several players who were screaming for Shiva's account to be deleted, those comments were oppressed by the vast majority. The response from almost everyone was the same:

"To the crying guys: Folks, stop complaining and try to grow up yourselves instead."

"Just ignore them, they are just envious."

"Why do you dispute? It's an honor to have a player as powerful as Shiva appear in China."

...

Although Xie Feng had expected to some point such a reaction from the gaming community, it would be a lie to say that he was not surprised. The number of comments exceeded 5,000,000 in less than twenty minutes!

He laughed at the funny comments, was slightly embarrassed by the scandalous titles he received, ridiculed and completely ignored the negative comments. Probably most of them are players who were killed by him or members of the God of Heaven and Sacred Wings guilds.

As he shook his head with a helpless smile, Xie Feng closed the window. Just as he was about to say something, he noted that Xie Yao had been strangely quiet all this time. Concerned, Xie Feng looked at her and saw that she was looking at him seemingly in a daze.

"Yaoyao? Is something bad happening? Are you okay?" Xie Feng asked worriedly in a low voice.

Xie Feng's voice finally seemed to wake up Xie Yao. She opened her eyes wide and waved her little hands quickly: "No... No, no! There is nothing bad."

Xie Feng and Gu Qianxue looked at each other in confusion. He frowned and insisted, "Girl, don't lie to me. How can you say 'there is nothing bad' when you are acting like this?"

Xie Yao behaved strangely like a little girl. Although she was always pure as a little angel and shy in front of Xie Feng every time he teased her; this time she was acting strangely shy.

"Ah, now I understand what's going on here!" Gu Qianxue applauded and said in a funny tone of voice.

Xie Yao looked at her and when she saw the playful smile on Gu Qianxue's face, she blushed slightly.

Xie Feng was stunned. He could not understand in any way what was happening. Fortunately for him, Gu Qianxue seemed to understand her thoughts as she explained evasively:

"What happens when a handsome man, whom a girl is impressed with, jumps to the rescue and beats up the bad guys?"

Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and said in confusion, "Are you talking about the 'hero saves beauty'?"

Gu Qianxue clicked his fingers and said, "Bingo!... Although the 'hero saves beauty' is a cliché, it is actually more effective than you might think. When a woman is at her lowest point, it is the moment when she is most fragile..." Gu Qianxue stopped and looked at Xie Yao somewhat enviously. "Although Xie Yao is a strong girl, it is impossible for her not to move after seeing you charging directly against 10,000 enemies just for her sake."

Xie Feng still did not understand. He shook his head and looked at Xie Yao in confusion: "But, didn't you love me already?"

Hearing Xie Feng's question, Xie Yao was frightened and quickly shook her head: "Of course I do! To me you are everything!" She seemed to realize that she was talking too loudly, so after she calmed down a bit, she murmured: "To me, you are more important than my own life... Even I thought I couldn't love you more than I loved you... But after what happened I realized that somehow my feelings for you increased even more."

Xie Yao's eyes suddenly shone with a touch of understanding, but Xie Feng did not notice. He simply hugged her and said in a soft voice

"For you, not to mention 10,000 players in the virtual world Even if I had to go against the whole world... Even if I had to destroy the universe for your sake, I'm willing to do it..."

They both hugged like that for almost a whole minute until Xie Feng finally freed her, and said: "Girls, let's go get some experience! Experience I tell you!"

"Oh, right! Xie Feng, you must let me see your pet" Gu Qianxue quickly asked.

"Oh? Do you mean Ling Long? Of course."

"Uh... So her name is Ling Long? That's so cute!"

"Hehe... I'm pretty good at this."

"Bah!"

While Xie Feng and Gu Qianxue were chatting, Xie Yao looked back at the place where Mu Wuying had left earlier, and sighed:

"Now I understand why I feel inferior to you... Spirit of love, uh..."

She finally understood the reason why she was always afraid every time Mu Wuying was near Xie Feng. She also understood the reason for that feeling of inferiority she felt.

"Soon I will be the best!"

With her beautiful dark eyes shining with resolution, she quickly joined with Xie Feng and Gu Qianxue.
