The Boss Behind The Game

Kuilong Ocean, Xinmo Island.

The players and other forces left one after the other at the end of the Nation Establishing Ceremony.

However, one player stayed and did not return with the team.

He was none other than Wang Damang from the Great Dragon Guild.

He was supposed to return with his guild members after the feast had ended. However, after getting tipsy from the wine at the feast, he went for a leak in the forest and accidentally found a cave.

Looking from the outside, there was a faint glowing white light inside the cave.

After using the forum for so many years, he knew the possibility of Hidden Quests existing in every corner of this world. Thus, he walked into the cave, full of excitement.

In the end, he found a huge white piece of jade inside the cave. On top of it was a gorgeous lady sitting with her legs crossed.

Her curvy figure could be vaguely seen underneath the shining white light. Her dark straight hair was put up with an elegant silver hairpin. Without any makeup on her face, she wore a bright yellow dress with a jade-green ribbon on her waist, showing her slender figure and beauty.

Looking at her gorgeous appearance, Wang Damang thought that he was falling in love. She is too beautiful. Is this what it feels like to fall in love?

With just one look, Wang Damang was already thinking of what to call their future children.

However, the lady suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Wang Damang.

Noticing the affection on Wang Damang's face, her expression gradually turned cold, "Who are you?"

"I'm just… passing by," noticing the lady's anger, Wang Damang quickly put up both of his hands, showing that he had no bad intentions.

"Hmph!" when she was about to say something, her body shook and she vomited dark blood out of her mouth. Her body looked so weak, as if she may fall at any time.

Wang Damang wanted to help her up immediately upon seeing that. However, he stopped his footsteps when he saw her staring at him coldly.

"I have medicine!"

Sensing the lady's refusal, Wang Damang backed off a few steps and took out some spiritual materials with healing capabilities from the channel. He gave it to her tentatively.

The lady did not answer but her expression remained cautious. It was apparent that she did not trust Wang Damang.

They were in a deadlock whereby they stared at each other for a while. Suddenly, the lady's tense body relaxed and collapsed on top of the jade platform.

Wang Damang quickly moved forward upon seeing that and opened his Analysis Menu.

[Tian Lan (Beginner Ghost General)]:

Character Details: The King of the Tian Yu Nation, Tian Kun's, youngest daughter. She was ambushed and wounded badly when she was fighting for the throne with Tian Kun's other children.

Character State: Injured badly, fainted (deteriorating).

Wang Damang was stunned upon checking her information.

He did not expect this lady to be someone under the Sea King's forces. They could be considered as soon-to-be rivals.

However, Wang Damang could not stand seeing the lady lose her life.

This lady was not a player so she could not drink the Revive Potion and he did not know anything about medicine. He was thrown into an awkward situation.

After some contemplation, an idea flashed through Wang Damang's mind. He then opened up the livestream menu.

After all, there were all kinds of talent among the players. With all the players' power and assistance, he believed that they would be able to solve this problem.

[Help! Is there anyone with great medical skills? Please help and figure out what to do!]

Since Wang Damang was a forum veteran, many players swarmed into his post as soon as they saw his livestream.

Crayon_Shinchan: "Fuck, Damang, you're quite good. Where did you find such a gorgeous lady? Did you drug her? Shame on you!"

Watermelon_Taro: "Jealous! Jealous!"

Lost8kToOnlineDating: "Brother Damang, are you showing off your romantic encounter? I'm so jealous!"

...

Looking at the players' comments in the live streaming channel, three black lines appeared on Wang Damang's forehead. He then said, "Guys, please figure out a way to help her. She is wounded very badly but she cannot drink the Revive Potion because she's not a player. I have spiritual materials with me now but I don't know which to use. She has fainted and can no longer eat anything. Please help me to think of a way!"

Eat_My_Revive_Milk: "I am good at this. Show me her wounds and I will teach you what to do next."

A_Med_Student_Cannot_Save_Beiqi: "Exactly, we have to look at the wounds first!"

Beiqi_Godly_Herb_Farmer: "We can only give the proper medication after confirming what condition she is in. Brother Damang, please follow our instructions…"

...

Looking at the players' replies, Wang Damang turned to look at the lady who was still unconscious. After skimming through her body, he noticed that she had some blood stains on her shoulder, hence he extended his trembling hands toward her.

His nose started bleeding as soon as he opened up a little corner of her collar lightly.

Back in the live streaming channel:

Crayon_Shinchan: "Fuck, I'm going to report your livestream for involving obscene content. This is too stimulating but I will finish watching it before reporting (nosebleed.jpg)!"

Assassin_Creed: "Oh my God, are you for real? Brother Damang, you are really testing the limit. I think you might be the first player whose account is going to get suspended (nosebleed.jpg)!"

TheDarkMage: "Damang, human lives are precious. Do it now… what are you waiting for? (nosebleed.jpg)"

...

After reading through the players' comments, Wang Damang clenchted his teeth and opened up the lady's collar, showing her fair shoulder to the players.

However, Wang Damang had a sense of propriety. He did not overstep his boundaries as he did not reveal any more than her shoulder.

There was an obvious punch mark on the lady's left shoulder. The central part was turning black and strange black lines were growing like a spider web. The lines seemed to be moving as if they were spreading to the surroundings.

In the live streaming channel:

A_Med_Student_Cannot_Save_Beiqi: "Please check if she has been poisoned. Brother Damang, do you have a Level 4 spiritual material known as the Ming Guo Herb? This spiritual material has detoxification abilities, you can try grinding it into powder and applying it on the wound."

Wang Damang read the comment and nodded. He took out a Ming Guo Herb from his channel and crushed the herb following the player's instructions. Then, he applied it to her wound.

Within a short span of time, the herbs sucked out the darkness from the lady's wound at a speed visible to human eyes. Wang Damang's face was full of astonishment.

Beiqi_Godly_Herb_Farmer: "Keep going. The color has faded a lot but it is still not enough. Do you have any more Ming Guo Herbs? If you don't, the Level 2 spiritual material Poison Absorbing Fruit is fine, too, but it would not be as effective."

Addicted_To_Crafting_Potions: "If you don't have enough detoxifying materials, you can mix the Fire Rock Flower and Mercury Herb, crush them and stir well. It has the effect of detoxification as well. I found out about this by myself through experimenting and research."

Looking at the players' comments, Wang Damang who was initially worried about the lack of Ming Guo Herbs finally heaved a sigh of relief and treated the lady according to their methods.

Needless to say, the power of all the players combined was strong.

Relying on their guidance, Wang Damang cleared out all the black poison from the lady's shoulder through continuous attempts.

After that, he followed their instructions and squeezed out all the polluted blood.

After everything was settled, Wang Damang wiped the sweat off his forehead. Once again, he used the Analysis Menu to check on the lady and was surprised upon seeing that the deteriorating label had disappeared.

Looking at the successful operation, the players in the live streaming channel cheered with joy.

In the live streaming channel:

Crayon_Shinchan: "We did it. Are we going to have a special show after this? (laughing emoji) Don't think we don't know what you're thinking. If this was a badly injured male Ghost General, I assure you that he would have grabbed a sword and stabbed him. If he did not die, he would stab him a few more times (laughing emoji)!"

Assassin_Creed: "Appearance is indeed important in this world. If you have a good appearance, you will do well in the gaming world as well (sighing emoji)!"

Best_Love_Guru_Of_Beiqi: "Brother Damang, I can see that you have a crush on her. Do you need some guidance from me?"

Wang Damang replied to Best_Love_Guru_Of_Beiqi: "Really?"

Best_Love_Guru_Of_Beiqi replied to Wang Damang: "Of course... you have to know that the characters in this game have emotions. They are different from the emotionless artificial intelligence in the past."

Wang Damang replied to Best_Love_Guru_Of_Beiqi: "Master, please guide me! I want to have an online relationship. (worshipping emoji)!"

...

Looking at Wang Damang, who was desperate for an online relationship, the players spammed the live streaming channel.

In the players' eyes, Wang Damang had a good personality and he was helpful to many, so a lot of players who recognized themselves as relationship veterans were willing to lend a helping hand.

Every single one of them assured Wang Damang that it was going to be successful. They were helping him plan a flirting strategy before the lady regained consciousness.

The livestream, which at first concerned the players helping Wang Damang to rescue a person's life, turned into a class to teach Wang Damang how to flirt with a girl. This further displayed the great powers the players possessed.

...

The Void Ocean.

On the Great Dragon Warship, Chen Ziyu and others were seated together in a circle as they discussed the funny things and lessons they learned on Xinmo Island.

With a smile, Xue Li stretched her hands to tap her right side, but there was no one there. Her expression changed immediately.

"Hmm… boss, where's Damang?"

Chen Ziyu skimmed around upon hearing that. His expression slowly turned awkward.

He remembered clearly that Damang was still there when they finished the battle with the forces from Langya Island. He was also drinking at the feast. Why did he disappear?

Did we leave him at Xinmo Island? The same thought flashed through everyone's mind. Everyone went into deep silence after that.

"Damang, Damang, can you hear me?"

After some contemplation, Xue Li voiced out in the guild live chat channel.

She could imagine Wang Damang being filled with resentment at that moment.

"Yeah? Xue Li, is there anything?" Damang's rough voice was heard.

"Damang, are you mad?" Xue Li continued speaking with light laughs.

"Mad? Why should I be mad?"

"You are really mad!" Xue Li heaved a deep sigh, "Damang, do you want to make a suicidal escape or do you want us to come and fetch you?"

"Don't, don't, don't, please go back first. I have my own Specter Ship, I can come back by myself!"

"Damang, please don't be mad. We didn't do this on purpose!"

Xue Li still wanted to save Wang Damang who might be having a mental breakdown.

After all, Wang Damang was a veteran member in the guild, hence they were really sorry for forgetting about him.

"I said I'm not mad!"

"Damang, as a man, please don't be so petty. This is such a small matter!" Xue Li said again softly.

"Damang, I apologize for my mistake. Just come back first. Stop throwing a tantrum!" Chen Ziyu couldn't stop himself from saying.

Wang Damang was rendered speechless.

I really don't want to leave!
