A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

32: 4-star mid-tier petJust as Bai Tian was sleeping and resting, a video uploaded by Kiss Kiss Little White quickly gained traction on the official [Nine Heavens] forum.

—”We are complaining that the famous player [Brilliant] is cheating! We have video evidence and truth; the officials must give an explanation!”

Kiss Kiss Little White, who had been severely abused by Bai Tian, posted the entire video of their battle against Brilliant on the official forum.

Originally, Kiss Kiss Little White, being an unknown, wouldn’t attract much traffic, but once he put the two words ’Brilliant’ in the title and accused him of cheating, it became a different story.

Countless players were dumbfounded after watching the video.

”It can’t be this exaggerated, right!”

”Brilliant is a Priest. Even if he is a Hidden Class, it’s too outrageous that he managed to defeat over two hundred people single-handedly, leaving them unable to fight back.”

”No wonder Brilliant, as a Priest, levels up so quickly. It turns out his Talent is Rebound, and the multiplier is probably quite high.”

”Damn, after Brilliant applied status effects to himself, how did he become as fierce as Superman, capable of instantly killing even a Class with a Basic Attack?”

”That’s not even the most outrageous part. Look at Brilliant’s Attack Speed and Movement Speed; they have completely reached the level of a BUG.”

”Brilliant’s Attack is ridiculously high, his Defense is unsolvably tanky, and his Speed is ghostly—he’s completely an unsolvable Three-Body Problem.”

”I originally thought this guy named Kiss Kiss Little White was trying to gain attention, but after watching the video, even I want to complain that Brilliant is cheating.”

”...”

As the thread’s popularity increased and the comments multiplied, it quickly dominated the hot topics on the [Nine Heavens] forum.

Countless people started calling the official [Nine Heavens] customer service number, complaining that Brilliant was cheating and demanding a reasonable explanation.

As the incident escalated, several prominent figures from well-known Online Gaming Guilds also stepped forward to speak out, demanding an official explanation for how a Level 15 Priest could be so monstrous.

Brilliant, as shown in the video, had completely reached a level that broke the game’s balance.

But at this moment, a voice stood up to speak on Brilliant’s behalf.

The ID of the speaker was displayed in gold—[Flowers in Full Bloom].

”Tch, a bunch of ignorant, jealous monsters. Just because you’re weaklings, you blame others for being too strong?”

”For a rabble like this, let alone two hundred people, even if you double that number, I alone could send them all back to Novice Island.”

If anyone else had spoken such boasts, they would surely have been met with a round of ridicule.

But since the speaker was the Server’s Number One ruthless female Assassin, no one dared to question anything.

At this time, Jade Star Painting Moon, the Manager of [Reaching the Pinnacle], also left a comment.

”Although Brilliant certainly displayed formidable strength, didn’t everyone notice that this video clip is only a little over two minutes long?”

”In the game, some powerful Skills or even Talents can allow a person to multiply their strength in a short period, which isn’t very strange, is it?”

Glorious World also spoke up for Brilliant, saying: ”Those who claim [Nine Heavens] has bugs or that Brilliant is cheating are all brainless idiots.”

”If anyone can find a cheat program for me, I’ll pay 500,000 for it.”

However, even though Flowers in Full Bloom, Jade Star Painting Moon, and Glorious World spoke up for Bai Tian, the Combat Power displayed by Brilliant in that video segment was still too shocking.

How does that saying go: ”I hate cheating the most!”

”But if I am the one cheating, then please make the cheat even fiercer!”

Therefore, more and more people continued to complain to the officials.

In just half a day, the official [Nine Heavens] customer service hotline was almost overwhelmed with calls.

[Nine Heavens] Central China Headquarters, during a core internal video conference.

”Chairman! Regarding the Combat Power displayed by Brilliant in the game and the large number of player complaints, how should we handle this?”

The elderly man in the Zhongshan Suit, who was leading the video conference, spoke lightly.

”Will cheating programs appear within [Nine Heavens]?”

All core members participating in the meeting shook their heads firmly: ”Absolutely impossible.”

The Chairman said: ”That settles it then.”

”Not only is it impossible for cheating programs to appear in the dreamlike [Nine Heavens], but even if there is something genuinely wrong with Brilliant, we fundamentally cannot intervene.”

The Chairman’s words struck the hearts of every participant like a heavy hammer.

”Everyone knows that ever since [Nine Heavens]’s Optical Supercomputer Intelligence awakened and actively initiated the open beta, our ability to interfere within it has been negligible.”

Hearing the Chairman’s words, all core members participating in the video conference looked worried.

Who would have known that the human Second World game, painstakingly built over decades by HW Intelligent Technology, one of the world’s leading smart technology firms, would lose control after activating the Optical Supercomputer Intelligence?

They absolutely dared not disclose this matter externally.

The only thing they were thankful for was that even though the Optical Supercomputer Intelligence was uncontrollable, everything operated normally after [Nine Heavens] went into open beta.

”Regarding the matter of the Optical Supercomputer Intelligence losing control, the authorities have already given us instructions.”

The Chairman’s expression was grave: ”No matter the cost, we must overcome the technical difficulties and absolutely regain full control of the Optical Supercomputer Intelligence.”

Hearing the Chairman’s words, all core members participating in the video conference replied in unison: ”Yes!”

Perhaps because the players’ complaints were simply too numerous, and the thread started by Kiss Kiss Little White had caused too great an impact.

The [Nine Heavens] officials finally responded, but it was still just a simple sentence: ”[Nine Heavens] absolutely has no bugs!”

Clearly, this was telling the players that the extraordinary Combat Power displayed by Brilliant was not problematic at all.

At 3:45 PM, Bai Tian, who was in a deep sleep, was woken up by the phone ringing.

Answering groggily, he realized it was his mother calling.

”Tian’er, I just got off the car and arrived home.”

His mother’s voice was always so gentle: ”By the way, why is there forty thousand yuan in my luggage?”

Bai Tian’s drowsiness lessened slightly, and he smiled: ”Mom, I put that in.”

”Feel free to use it. I earned this money from part-time work; consider it a small token of my Filial Piety.”

His mother was slightly surprised: ”Tian’er, Mom is still young and can earn money herself. How can I take so much from you? I’ll transfer the 40,000 yuan back to you later.”

Bai Tian replied: ”Mom, I know you aren’t living a wealthy life.”

”Now that I’m grown up and can earn money, it’s only right that I support you. Besides, this money isn’t just for you; it’s also for my little sister.”

After his mother married her current husband, they had a little sister who was one or two years old and very cute.

Sometimes when his mother video-called, she would let Bai Tian see her.

The little one always affectionately called him Gege (Older Brother) through the video.

Seeing that his mother still wouldn’t accept it, Bai Tian quickly said: ”Mom, that’s it then. I have another call coming in, so I’m hanging up!”

There really was another call coming in, and Bai Tian quickly answered.

Inside, a familiar voice immediately sounded.

”Hey, Bai Tian.”

It was his Close Friend, Liao Fan, calling. He had only woken up recently, and his voice still sounded a little weak.

Bai Tian was a little excited: ”You’re awake.”

Liao Fan: ”Of course. We are the kind of people even the King of Hell wouldn’t dare take.”

”By the way, my... my sister said you gave my dad 1.5 million?”

”Where did you get so much money?”

Bai Tian smiled slightly: ”I earned it in the game.”

”I’ll visit you in a few days. When you recover, I’ll give you a surprise.”

On Liao Fan’s end of the phone, his sister was already urging him, saying he just woke up and needed more rest and fewer words.

Liao Fan: ”Okay, thanks.”

But actually, Bai Tian was the one who should be saying thank you. If his Close Friend Liao Fan hadn’t risked his life running into the fire to seek rescue after seeing his danger.

He wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

After hanging up, Bai Tian immediately got up, washed up, and went downstairs to a restaurant near the community entrance for a chicken leg rice meal.

Then he exercised for an hour by the lake near the community entrance.

He had to admit, this high-end apartment complex was full of handsome men and beautiful women.

People coming and going were driving Big Benz or BMWs, and even luxury cars like Porsche and Ferrari.

As a young man, Bai Tian naturally hoped to own a luxury car of his own.

But to realize this small wish, he needed to work harder in the game.

The restaurant just now, called [Zhen Zhi Wei], cooked good food.

Bai Tian also packed some braised pork belly to save for a late-night snack.

After returning to the apartment, Bai Tian immediately prepared to log in.

As soon as he logged in, Bai Tian received a system notification that all the Equipment he had listed had been sold out.

After deducting handling fees, the amount credited was: 118,920!

Earning over 110,000 yuan right after logging in, giving him over 120,000 yuan in his account again—the feeling was amazing.

When he logged in yesterday, Bai Tian forgot to set the function in the Game Pod that allowed for a sleep mode while logged in.

That’s why he essentially stayed up all night and felt so tired.

Before logging in today, he specifically set it up.

Now, even if he didn’t log off for three days, it wouldn’t be a problem.

However, Bai Tian still preferred a more normal life with a touch of Human Warmth.

He would most likely log in and out normally, balancing reality and the game.

Because he logged out in a hurry this morning, Bai Tian hadn’t paid attention to the pet he acquired. He immediately took it out to check.

The little Magic Spotted Butterfly had become an eggshell shape, about the size of a round bowl.

—[magic spotted butterfly pet egg]!

Quality: 4-Star (Intermediate)

Type: Physical Combat

Status: Unhatched, Unclaimed.

According to Bai Tian’s knowledge, the pet levels in [Nine Heavens] are divided into 1 to 18 Stars.

Pets below 3 Stars are Low-tier Pets, 4 to 6 Stars are Intermediate Pets, 7 to 9 Stars are High-tier, 10 to 13 Stars are Spirit Pets, 14 to 16 Stars are immortal pets, 17 Stars are Divine Pets, and 18 Stars are Peerless Saint Pets.

Damn!

Only a 4-Star Intermediate Pet—it seems the level is a bit low!

Bai Tian pouted, suddenly remembering that he still had a pet bone quality pill rewarded by the system.

He immediately took it out to examine.

—[pet bone quality pill]!

(Use on an unhatched pet egg to randomly increase the pet’s star rating by 1 to 5 Stars, provided the pet is below 10-Star Spirit Pet level. The maximum limit will not exceed Spirit Pet.)

Not bad, not bad. It’s used to increase the pet’s level.

”Give me a 5-Star boost, 5 Stars!”

Bai Tian muttered a phrase, then immediately used the [pet bone quality pill] on the pet egg.

—”(Ding dong!)”

”(You successfully used the pet bone quality pill. [magic spotted butterfly pet egg] increased by 4 Stars.)”
