Chapter 123 - English Translation (1/2)
“Geez, there isn’t a single one that’s worthy to be my opponent.”
Chen Mo decided it was time to leave after looking at his watch.
His account was now at the top, he even showed off every single race. All that’s left is to have these pros learn and understand. It’s better for the growth of the game if it was at a higher level anyways.
The news of ‘Mysterious random player Silent destroys the ranked ladder, reaching the top’ were plastered all over the video game media. The news spread especially quickly in the Warcraft community.
There were a few stickies that were discussing this matter.
“Did you watch the matches today? Silent destroyed the ladder by reaching the top using random only! Even Goph couldn’t handle him!”
“I saw it, and all I can say is that it’s too sad! All the pros have been bullied!”
“Silent has no match at the top of the ladder at four thousand odd points. They also got there in straight wins, and in just a few days! That’s horrifying!”
“His skill level for all the races are exemplary. Has anybody counted how many strategies he had come up with?”
“Raiders rush, mine rush, tower rush, Frost Armor Crypt Fiends, Gargoyles and Ghouls… and of course Cyclone spam!”
“That’s revolutionary! I thought the pros had already discovered what the game had to offer, but it wasn’t even close!”
“In particular that Cyclone spam, I didn’t know you could play games like that.”
“Alright, I’m going to watch some replays as revision. These replays are the best education material, you’d probably gain two hundred points if you learn them properly!

The forms were filled with players complaining about how strong the Humans and Guard Towers were, asking for CHen Mo to nerf them, but it didn’t take long before all these complaints were gone.
The players didn’t even know which races were strong or weak even since Silent’s appearance!
It feels like whichever race Silent plays was strong!
Any post that complained about the race they played being weak would be replied with a replay from Silent saying, “Your race isn’t bad, you’re bad.”
Silent had gained plenty of fans in the process. Although nobody knew who Silent was, it didn’t stop them from worshipping him.
This also helped Warcraft gain a lot of popularity, the number of daily sales even peaked a little.

However, Silent never returned after beating Goph.
Many observers thought that Silent just missed a day, but as days went by, Silent never came back!
There were theories that he had quit because that was all that he had to offer; others said that he was afraid of losing, and would never play again; there were also some who said that it was a publicity stunt put together by the pros.
But nobody got it right, nor did anyone know who Silent was. Although Zou Zhuo had seen Silent in person, they only added in game and had no other forms of communication.
His fans were worshipping the few clips of him in the internet cafe filmed by Zou Zhuo.
However, a few players who have seen CHen Mo felt that the silhouette was familiar, and yet couldn’t remember who it was!
The pros could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
