Rebirth of Internet Hegemon

Rebirth to the year 2001. It was a rather awkward juncture in time. Tencent had risen to prominence, Alibaba had emerged, and even Baidu was raking in profits... What was the point of this rebirth? Well, if rebirth served no purpose, then why not seize the opportunity to enjoy an unambitious life of comfort? But it was a pity that Chen Yu, who had set his sights solely on living the good life, accidentally ended up dominating the world of the internet. =============== The work doesn't belong to me, I'm just a hobbyist translator doing "pro bono" work just like those novelupdates guys.

"Lululu, today's breakfast is quite ordinary."

"Didn't I tell you? I like fried noodles, not noodles. And also, don't forget to add some chili, it's too bland without it."

While enjoying the breakfast that Lu Xue had brought, Chen Yu commented.

"Y-you, you're so picky even when I'm treating you to breakfast."

"Your attitude is not right. If you're treating me, I should be allowed to give some input, right? What if you treat me to pig slop? Should I just eat it without saying anything?"

"One month, one month... I won't treat you to anything after one month."

Lu Xue held up a finger to calm herself down forcibly.

She had kindly treated Chen Yu to breakfast, but she didn't expect this response.

"Okay, okay, thanks. I have something for you in return."

"What is it?"

"Ta-da..."

Chen Yu took out a small item from his pocket.

It was a small clay figurine, featuring a deer and a little girl riding on it.

"A little girl riding a deer."

When Lu Xue saw the small figurine in front of her, her anger instantly dissipated.

"You're not angry anymore?"

"It's okay, I'll give you credit for being considerate. Where did you get this?"

"I didn't buy it."

"Then where did it come from?"

"I found it on the street."

"You... You're unbelievable..."

Lu Xue was on the verge of exploding.

After taking a deep breath and muttering a few words, she stopped paying attention to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu shrugged and said, "Geez, what's wrong with young girls these days? They get angry so easily."

...

At 9:20 PM, Chen Yu rushed home from school.

Remembering the guild battle for Soul of the King, Chen Yu wasted no time and logged into the game.

"Brother Merchant, seriously? You're only showing up now?"

"It's 9 o'clock, isn't it perfect timing?"

"It's already 9:20."

"Well, I can't help it. I just finished my evening self-study."

"Self-study?"

"Yeah."

"What grade are you in?"

"I... I'm in my third year of high school."

Chen Yu blushed a bit.

Could he really say, "I'm in my first year of high school"?

"No worries, you guys can handle it, right?"

"Handle my foot! Hurry up and come to Tucheng; we can't hold on anymore."

When Chen Yu logged in, Soul of the King immediately messaged him within the channel.

This was the first guild battle since the opening of The Legend of Mir 2.

The guild battle was set to take place in Tucheng.

For this guild battle, the official organizers had introduced a special event.

The opposing sides would engage in PK battles in Tucheng, with each kill earning one point. After two hours, the guild with more points would gain ownership of Sabuk.

It could be said that the introduction of Sabuk had ignited the passions of countless players. While there were guilds in the game before, the most they did was engage in occasional guild wars with no symbolic significance.

However, with the introduction of Sabuk, the conquest and possession of the city had become a symbol of guild warfare. It was the highest honor for a guild.

In the future, whenever the topic of attacking Sabuk was brought up, numerous players would get excited.

Although the first occupation of Sabuk was not considered a real siege, its significance was just as great.

As the first guild established and the most powerful one, King's Guild was determined to take control of Sabuk.

However, despite the strength of King's Guild, other guilds were not to be underestimated. While one guild might not be able to compete with them in PK, five guilds had formed an alliance.

In fact, three guilds were already capable of challenging King's Guild, but to be safe, they had invited two more.

It could be said that the showdown of five guilds against King's Guild had the entire The Legend of Mir 2 community watching with bated breath.

At 9:00 PM, the Sabuk battle in the passionate world of The Legend of Mir 2 officially began.

Hundreds, even thousands of players rushed to the battlefield, activating guild PK mode and unleashing their skills recklessly.

Assassination techniques, offensive swordplay, blazing sword skills.

Poison spells, fire spells, summoning of wealth.

Magic shields, lightning spells, ice roars, aurora films... and, of course, screens full of firewalls.

Numerous players fell, dropping countless pieces of equipment, only to be quickly replaced by others rushing in.

"Kill..."

"Kill them! Everyone, follow my orders, target the Wizards in King's Guild first."

"Equip more magic defense items."

The five major guilds, already having a numerical advantage, immediately pursued a group of Wizards from King's Guild.

Even though King's Guild mostly consisted of advanced Wizards, they found themselves at a disadvantage.

However, at this moment, a Wizard wielding a longsword suddenly teleported.

Yes, a Wizard with a longsword.

Typically, Wizards didn't equip swords; they used magical staffs. After all, Wizards were spellcasters, not sword-wielding Warriors who could chop down enemies.

Even if Taoists could equip swords as weapons, Wizards never did.

However, this particular Wizard was wielding a sword.

But this sword was not one meant for Warriors or Taoists. It was the ultimate weapon for Wizards, the Bloodthirsty Sword.

The Bloodthirsty Sword had stats of Attack 3-14, Magic 3-5, Accuracy +5.

Of course, these were the official statistics.

But the Bloodthirsty Sword on this Wizard had an astonishing magic damage of 3-8.

In the original limit of 5 points, it forcibly increased by 3 points.

"Damn, the Bloodthirsty Sword."

"I finally saw the Bloodthirsty Sword."

"A 3-8 Bloodthirsty Sword, ahh, I can't handle it, I really can't."

"I can guarantee that this Bloodthirsty Sword is worth at least 200,000."

In the world of The Legend of Mir 2, the most expensive item wasn't the Bloodthirsty Sword but the legendary Dragon Slayer Blade.

However, the Dragon Slayer Blade was just a legend and had never appeared in the game.

So, the "most" expensive item in the game was indeed the Bloodthirsty Sword. Even the low-end Bloodthirsty Swords usually cost tens of thousands of in-game currency.

But this super-grade Bloodthirsty Sword was something else entirely, far beyond that price range.

"This is unbelievable, it's Number One in the World in the world."

"Damn it, Number One in the World has joined King's Guild."

"This profiteer..."

That's right.

The Wizard wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword was none other than Chen Yu, known as "Number One in the World" in the game.

A private chat with Soul of the King, and Chen Yu had joined the battlefield, armed with the Bloodthirsty Sword.

With the Bloodthirsty Sword in hand, Chen Yu was a veritable killing machine.

Under his feet, screens were filled with walls of fire.

Ice Roar and Aurora Film, amplified by the Bloodthirsty Sword, unleashed even more powerful attacks.

Warriors who had previously held their ground within the firewalls quickly saw their health bars plummet. Even if they tried to heal, the rate of damage exceeded the rate of healing.

And that was just for the high-level Warriors. For Wizards, Taoists, and lower-level Warriors, they fell one after another upon Chen Yu's arrival.

After they fell, a pile of equipment dropped to the ground.

"Damn, Number One in the World, why did you join King's Guild?"

Eternal Kingdom - Starlight shouted at Chen Yu in the public chat.

"Well, I'm here to pick up equipment. Don't mind me, just keep fighting."

Chen Yu replied as he picked up the equipment.

"Why the hell are you picking up equipment? Why did you join King's Guild?"

"There's no other way, money talks, and I'm helping them out."

"You... How much did King's Guild pay you? We'll offer you ten times that amount."

"Really?"

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, about to accept the offer.

But Soul of the King yelled, "Merchant Brother, do you even want to do business in the future?"
