Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1557: Chapter 135: Old Dog’s Fangs and Claws

“As for me, I generally don’t bother with people too much, after all, these days, fools are as common as flies, while those smarter than me are rare to find.” Snow Cloud Peak spoke with a mirthful tone, “However, there are some things you shouldn’t do regardless of reason, let alone for her grievances that no one understands.

In the game world, there are indeed no taboos, but… people playing games should still have a bit of reverence.”

Perfect Bald just felt a chill run through him… Old Dog hadn’t shown such a formidable expression in years!

Don’t be fooled by how Mobi Chenxin and Lu Huayu were tormented before; to Old Dog, these were just ‘messing with you.’

The last time he played too hard, he made a young noble completely turn over a new leaf and become a new person… transforming from a complete waste with every vice into Mama’s Baby Guai.

Even the parents of that young lord were scared enough to visit a psychologist several times… because the matter was too bizarre, attracting such diverse attention from people, many even wealthier and more powerful than his family, that it couldn’t be kept under wraps. They simply chose not to conceal it.

In the end, the family in the game was handed back to Old Dog… not as compensation, but as a token of thanks for educating their child.

Of course, Old Dog refused it.

How the kid ultimately achieved enlightenment, Baldy didn’t know, yet he was aware… Old Dog had changed dozens of identities, all becoming people around that kid: be it bewitching beauties or attentive followers, eventually they each stabbed him dozens to hundreds of times, um… targeting a specific sensitive area.

Old Dog’s skills weren’t great, but at this point, it turned out to be quite suitable… making the opponent endure long enough.

Anyway, no one knew how, in the final stages, Old Dog managed to make that guy have no choice but to accompany him alone… though that spoilt brat talked big and acted fearless, he always had many bodyguards with him in the game.

If he hadn’t been so arrogant when forcing Old Dog to sell the family, almost under the scrutiny of expert players nationwide, unable to save face, he might have quit the game for peace long ago.

However, at that time, each time Old Dog was forced to sell the family, the instigators ended up with notoriously bad reputations already spread far and wide, making him truly believe he could retire in that game.

That fool didn’t know which suck-up praised him high in the clouds, then felt he could tyrannize… not only relying on throwing money around in the game to force Old Dog to hand over the elite family, but also in reality thwarting Old Dog from stirring anything up.

Yet, even with flaws, Old Dog was still a top student cultivated by the military academy!

From realizing something was amiss, moving incognito to a new place, to that kid quitting the game in tears… startled by enthusiastic unfamiliar pretty girls, quickly cried out for bodyguards…the whole ordeal didn’t last even three months.

That truly shocked the entire gaming world.

For the first time, everyone understood the enormous difference between virtual and reality.

Many former Starcraft players who boldly claimed ‘I can do it too’ dared not utter that line anymore.

After all, Old Dog often said he was returned by the military academy due to incompetence.

Baldy used to believe those words… but later saw that Old Dog’s version of incompetence was perhaps a different matter altogether.

Otherwise, how could Old Dog effortlessly maintain his position as Commander in this game attracting millions!

A lot of ambitious people out there, but few have the confidence to deal with Old Dog.

Mobi’s ambitions, transported to other games, would seem pitiful… as long as he’s not under Alliance orders, it’s already a victory!

He doesn’t even dare approach the main battlefield, merely seeking some sense of existence in the Underdark region where most of the Undead Tribe has abandoned.

Only the Eden lot who’s only heard of Old Dog’s scary reputation but never experienced it dare tread on the dog’s tail.

Not for that matter, Old Dog wouldn’t be leading them Proud Sky Alliance roaming outside again… he really lost interest in that original game, the character creation process made him sick.

Thinking of it isn’t all that bad.

Everyone agrees this place is better suited for retirement… avoid trouble, go back to Teraxil, seek excitement, head to Toril: surprise events abound.

And now there’s a new playground in Aesces to play war games.

How wonderful!

Reflecting on Aesces, Perfect Bald felt dispirited.

He truly couldn’t fathom how Ji Lanyuan could be so stupid.

For the sake of friendship, she could betray the family, betray more friends, even… disregard national boundaries?

What nonsense?

Perfect Bald murmured: “Do you think they assume everything in the game world is false?

It’s like, they act all enthusiastic in the game, but in reality ask ‘Who are you?’…

Thus, everything in the game is just her stage performance.

Otherwise…”

He slightly tilted his head: “I truly can’t comprehend.

However, it doesn’t matter anymore.

She’s an adult, such setbacks and disappointments won’t be the end…

Old Dog, whatever you plan to do, give me the chance to personally send her away!

I want her, kneeling on the ground in repentance!”

“Of course.” Snow Cloud Peak chuckled, saying: “Be sure to give them a memorable grand finale: sing the saddest nocturne, set off the darkest fireworks.”

“So, when will your family’s pigs be ready to dig?” He switched tones, “Originally they should appear in Aesces, now how many exactly?

Are there family-limited clauses in the partner contract?”

“Certainly, those who leave Black Rose or don’t log in for half a month, the piggies taken will directly return to their mother’s space.” Perfect Bald said with gravity, “Same rules for our Wolverines and dog wolverines.”

Then he looked up at the sky blankly for a while: “Guessing the exact number is truly beyond my reach… Give me the lowest and lower count!

If I can track it to the hundreds, you ought to commend my capacity as Clan Leader, showing excellent management skills!”

“Drowning Stelter Castle, feasible?” Snow Cloud Peak thought and murmured.

“Tsk, thought you wanted much more… half of Basia City is no problem!

At all stages, our pigs can pull over 100,000 anytime!

Limiting our performance isn’t the number of pigs but how many enter!” Perfect Bald raised a tablet, “Then best not wait for the little pigs?

Since most large pigs can’t enter Aesces, they’ve scheduled childbirth for this period.

In two months, they’re due.”

“Little pigs are the key.” Snow Cloud Peak replied casually, before sinking into thought.

Then he suddenly responded: “What do you mean?

100,000 piggies?”

“Hmm? At least 200,000!” Perfect Bald answered calmly, “Otherwise, why would we control population growth?

You know how hard it is for people like us to say ‘can’t afford to raise’?”

“Thankfully your family… has enough folks.” Lu Huayu sincerely remarked, “Otherwise, Cunlü lady will be in debt entering the game, right?”

“Not really.” Perfect Bald replied earnestly, “The Duchess is very smart; she controls the population skillfully.

If unaffordable, she certainly wouldn’t let her descendants become food for other creatures.

It was her who first brought up the matter.

Animals coming from Hill Family… boast an uncanny intellect.

Bringing up Thunder’s cow, isn’t it easier to communicate with than him?

Most people command the cow, those two… are just the opposite.”

Snow Cloud Peak chuckled: “Speaking of Thunder, Road Eunuch, how did Lind’s Young Master perform upon finding you?

“Though he impulsively rushed out, upon seeing Ditte’s roar he seemed to regain his senses, didn’t intend to let us witness family infighting quickly.” Lu Huayu smiled slightly, “Yet he constantly probed our views on natives.

He often mentions the Moon Clan’s cold and… disdainful attitude towards locals.”

“What do you think he’s probing?”

“He wants to know whether discontent for Ellie would affect others.

Similar to the Moon Clan, who’d destroy buildings to eradicate mutated spiders, kill any obstructive citizens.

Mostly, whether such attitudes towards their clan will alter due to Ellie… implicating practices are common anywhere.”

“Though this Young Master has a bad reputation, he does seem sharper than his sister!”
