Earth's Best Gamer

Chapter 84: Poor Fatty Zhu

“Ha, Brother Ji, it’s really you!”

“I knew it! That side profile looks so similar!”

Looking at Ji Ye, who had turned his head, a fatty had a smile on his face that made his eyes squint.

He was wearing a slightly bloated armor that could only cover his upper body. There were also some strange blue runes that differed from Daoist cultivation.

“Old Zhu, you logged in to this room?”

Ji Ye looked at “Zhu Mo” who walked out of the neighboring room with a surprised look.

He had only met this “fat neighbor” of his in Yang City three times over the past few days.

After all, it was difficult for both parties to “log off” at the same time.

However, with Fatty Zhu’s character, let alone having a meal together, even if they had only met once, he would definitely greet him if they met under such circumstances.

Ji Ye felt wistful to realize that he and Fatty Zhu and Ji Ye would once again become ‘neighbors’ in this City of Humans.

But this was understandable.

According to the waiter, although people from the same civilization did not necessarily appear in the same projection, people with regional and social connections had a higher chance of being assigned to the same projection.

In fact, it was very likely that all Yang City players would appear in this “Three Thousand Restaurant” after their first entry.

“Your friend?”

A cold voice sounded.

Along with Fatty Zhu was a woman with strange red hair and an indifferent expression. She had a scar that extended down from her eyes. Latched to her waist was a pair of rather large red daggers.

“Fatty, you have good luck with women...”

If Ji Ye had Fatty Zhu’s character, perhaps at this moment, he would wink at him in a way that all men understood.

However, Ji Ye did not show any frivolousness with his character. Instead, his eyes turned slightly cold.

In fact, it was not only him. Lu Zhishen also wore a solemn expression as he walked out of the room.

“Yes, she’s indeed my friend. Sir, let me do the introductions...”

Fatty Zhu’s forehead was covered in sweat as he turned around to speak.

“No need. I’ll go to the trading hall first. You can come over later.”

The red-haired woman shook her head and answered softly before turning around and leaving with an attendant who was also wearing blue clothes.

“Ahem, well... Brother Ji, I hope you don’t mind...”

Fatty Zhu turned around with an awkward expression.

“It’s fine!”

Ji Ye shook his head.

Not all human settlements were ruled by players.

Heroes were powerful, so they naturally had their pride. Some heroes also wished to keep power for themselves.

Although the players had the advantage of being Chosen Ones, this identity was only obvious in the settlements with more “foolish” natives.

In some modern and futuristic settlements, some Chosen Ones were even cut up and studied by some crazy natives.

After all, although the settlement needed to rely on the Chosen Ones’ offerings, one Chosen One was enough to accomplish this.

“Master, this woman’s strength is redoubtable. From the weapon in her hand and her gait, she should be very good at assassination. The killing intent she emits is astonishing!”

After the red-haired woman left, Lu Zhishen said with a solemn expression.

“Of course she’s good at assassination. She’s Carter... Eh, are you...”

Fatty Zhu’s attention finally landed on Lu Zhishen.

Although Lu Zhishen had covered his iconic tattoo with his clothes after arriving in the City of Humans and did not hold the Frost Metal Meditation Staff in hand, Fatty Zhu immediately found him familiar.

“Lu Zhishen!”

Lu Zhishen was naturally not as arrogant as his hero.

“You’re Lu Zhishen, the Flowery Monk among the 108 heroes of Mount Liang...”

Fatty Zhu was stunned for a moment before realizing the other party’s identity. His expression immediately changed.

However, his reaction made Lu Zhishen frown slightly.

“Chief Lu, head over to the trading hall to get an understanding of it. I’ll come after chatting with my friend.”

Ji Ye nodded at Lu Zhishen.

“Yes, Master.

Lu Zhishen agreed and followed the waiter to the trading area.

After Lu Zhishen left, Ji Ye invited Fatty Zhu into his room.

“Wow, Fort Master!

“Brother Ji, ain’t you awesome? Even Lu Zhishen has become your lackey. Could your settlement be Mount Liang?”

Upon entering the room, Fatty Zhu finally could not hold it in any longer. His pair of squinty eyes opened so wide that it was comparable to Lu Zhishen’s eyes which he was famous for.

After the livestream, intelligence on Ji Ye in the Land of Inheritance had been made confidential.

Therefore, even though the two of them were neighbors, he did not know about Ji Ye’s situation.

“It’s not Mount Liang, it’s Twin Dragon Mount... By the way, with your outfit, could it be that you come from a settlement with an ancient setting?”

It wasn’t appropriate for Ji Ye to boast about himself, so after chatting for a while, he diverted the topic to talk about Fatty Zhu.

“Sigh, it might be better if it really has an ancient setting!”

“Let me put it this way. You know that I play games. My settlement is also in a game.”

Fatty Zhu smiled bitterly.

“Yeah, I remember. Back then, your trial was of the game genre.”

Ji Ye nodded.

However, one would “switch maps” after the trial ended.

Therefore, he went from a survivalist profession-related map to Twin Dragon Mount. He could be considered to have switched industries.

And Fatty Zhu was actually still in a gaming settlement. This was considered a good thing, right?

“Games are a good thing.”

“The problem is that I play Warcraft. Besides, I once won the WCG championship. Damn it, why did I enter Legends of Runeterra after changing maps?”

Fatty Zhu pointed at the “runes” on his ill-fitted chest armor with a helpless expression.

“I had no choice but to find time to return to Earth to understand the game.”

“Worst of all, we got Penguin Holdings to change the data through the Confederation Office and obtained a Challenger account for the ranking. Yet, I ended up encountering a bunch of actors. Now, all of us have fallen to the level of Master. F**king bunch of actors. Isn’t it just a comparison of who has more Attack Damage Carry troops?”

Fatty Zhu grumbled.

“It’s pretty bad. But can Penguin Holdings change the data and affect the Land of Inheritance?”

Ji Ye didn’t quite understand the game Fatty Zhu had mentioned.

However, from Fatty Zhu’s words, it was obvious that he had been screwed badly. He could not help but feel some pity for him.

Fatty entered the settlement with a gaming background and later got the company that owned the game to alter the data.

It reminded him of the “expert” who got the Confederation Office to promote his novel.

Was this really feasible?

“It was useless. Penguin Holdings is only a proxy company. The development company is in Ameagle.

“However, it’s said that under the request of the Ameagle government, the officials have indeed changed the background of the characters and created a bunch of Ameagle settings.”

“They even tried to create a hot patch to raise the strength of normal soldiers to a state where even some heroes can’t beat them at the risk of being cursed by players. However, it was useless. At least in the Land of Inheritance, the soldiers around me didn’t feel any stronger.

“I feel like the Land of Inheritance locked onto the Chosen Ones’ civilization the moment it activated one. Therefore, adjusting the original work on Earth is meaningless!”

Fatty Zhu shook his head.

“Ugh. Actually, the worst part is that I was assigned to Noxus. From soldiers to commanders, all of them worship strength, blood, and aggression.

With the help of the Confederation Office, I finally completed the mission with much difficulty. I summoned a famous ‘hero’, but I ended up losing my control!”

Fatty Zhu sighed.
