The two people who suddenly appeared spotted Fatty, and Fatty saw them.

It was not hard to anticipate what would happen when other players suddenly appeared during a solo kill.

Option A: Κill-steal! Option B: PK!

Before Level 10, all levels were considered a newbie protection period, so no one could PK. However, both options were undesirable for Fatty.

Thus, he nervously controlled his character while carefully observing the two people out of the corners of his eyes.

Fatty’s hands were trembling slightly, a side-effect caused by the high tension his hand muscles were under. His concentration had reached an all-time high, increasing the accuracy of his controlled movements.

Due to the distance, Fatty could not see Fated Sky and July very clearly. Based on their equipment, he could assume that one of them was a Death Knight and the other was a Pyromancer. Since the two of them remained in the same spot and did not move away, Fatty subconsciously viewed them as his enemies. Therefore, as he sped up the process of killing the boss monster, he was wary of the two people sneaking an attack on him.

Fatty did not know that his nervous, yet excited and focused, state of controlling his character astounded Fated Sky and July.

The Venomancer Class possessed low Health and Defense. When the two of them saw that the solo player fighting the boss monster was a Venomancer, they both thought that it was a lucky newbie who had arrogantly challenged the boss monster.

Thus, they decided to stay and watch. They originally intended to wait until this newbie was killed by the boss monster before taking over. This way, they would not be accused of kill-stealing and would also be able to keep the loot for themselves.

What they did not expect, however, was that this fat Venomancer would possess strong controlling techniques!

This player continuously changed direction while running, thus increasing the distance between him and the boss monster. He evidently was well-versed in the way the monster fought. Moreover, his every evasion was very accurate, causing the boss monster to pause during its movements and also shortening the time he had to run again.

Most importantly, this Venomancer could actually calculate the seconds during such an intense battle. His attacks were executed just as the toxin effect faded. As a result, the boss monster was always suffering from a health reduction effect and could not regenerate its health…

Such a technique was neither easy nor difficult per se. It was achievable by many experts. However, anyone who could achieve such a thing was definitely not a newbie.

“What do we do now?” Fated Sky asked July worriedly. “Someone is indeed fighting the boss monster and he is a highly-skilled expert. At this rate, we will reap no benefits!”

“Let’s Party up with him!” July gritted her pearly-white teeth and thought for a while. “Three people would kill the monster faster compared to doing it solo. Tell him that we would be willing to purchase any Skill Books we could use from the loot. The rest will belong to him!”

“Alright, we will do that!” Fated Sky nodded.

The two of them ran toward Fatty, making sure to stop a fair distance away to prevent any misunderstandings. Then, they sent Fatty a party invitation.

“Fated Sky and July request to Party up with you. Party Mode: distribution by the leader!”

Fatty was a little nervous when he saw the two of them running towards him. When he received the party invitation, he was momentarily shocked.

According to the system, if Person A invited Person B to team up, the leader would automatically be the latter. In other words, Fated Sky and July wanted to let Fatty be the leader.

They had chosen, and were therefore willing, to let the loot distribution be decided by the leader.

This was a very friendly invitation and a clear indication of their sincerity. After all, all that they could receive after killing the boss monster was a small amount of EXP should Fatty refuse to share the loot with them.

Anyone else would have accepted this party invitation happily, for the efficiency of three people versus one person was quite significant. In addition, if other parties appeared later on, he would be able to deal with them more easily.

However, Fated Sky and July had unfortunately encountered Fatty.

Fatty instantly recognized July when he approached them and saw her features.

“Luo Moling? Holy cow! Why is it this chick again?” exclaimed Fatty in his study. The speaker button on his earpiece needed to be pressed if he wished to speak in the game. Hence, the two of them did not hear him.

Luo Moling probably played the game through electroencephalography, so all her facial features were scanned and replicated. Moreover, she probably had not changed much about her appearance, which was why Fatty could recognize her so easily.

Fatty had not expected that his neighbor, Luo Moling, would play the Chaotic Era as well! This was a fact he had never known despite being neighbors with her for four years previously.

There was indeed a reason that Luo Moling and Fatty’s relationship was bad. In the past, Fatty had also not been doing well in the game, which had prevented him from having any interactions with her in the game…

However, upon seeing Luo Moling again, Fatty could not help but recall the six insults Luo Moling had thrown at him and the slap she had given him before he had time-traveled.

As for why Luo Moling hated him so much… Their relationship would not have been so bad if he had not peeped at her bathing. Fatty had never once pondered the reason for, in his opinion, peeping was not a big deal.

Admittedly, Fatty could sometimes be very hard to understand.
